Find your balance with this 10-minute morning yoga flow, filmed on the sand for our final morning in paradise. Join me for standing balances, hip stretches and flowing movement as we explore how to find our footing—wherever we happen to be practicing.
I recorded this practice at Palmaïa – The House of AïA in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, on the Riviera Maya. Practicing on the sand gave our exploration of balance a whole new dimension.

We’ll begin with Cat–Cow, then build through Warrior One, Humble Warrior and Warrior Three before adding Figure Four Chair, Half Moon and an optional Side Plank. I offer Triangle as an alternative to Half Moon, and a reminder throughout: alignment matters more than how deep you go.
To close, we’ll take a comfortable seat for a few breaths and a moment of gratitude. I think of our time on the mat as a little vacation: a chance to step away from the noise and find some quiet. Before you return to your day, decide what you’d like to bring with you.
This Tuesday practice is pre-recorded. I’ll be back live from my living room in New York City on Wednesday, September 9, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern.
