Give yourself room to explore your balance this morning. In this 10-Minute Morning Yoga practice, I’ll guide you through shoulder opening, hip and hamstring stretches, and a standing flow with options to stay in Pyramid and Triangle or explore Standing Split and Half Moon. We’ll move for about 10 minutes, then take time for an oracle card and reflection.
We begin with grounding and a September 11 offering to everyone affected by those events. From there, we ease into neck stretches, forward folds, high lunges and Triangle Pose before building toward balance transitions and Skandasana side lunges. Choose the variation that works for you today. I have a few wobbles along the way, too.
Card Pull
Today’s card is “Reflection,” depicting Plow Pose. Its printed message is:
“Self-observation eases the journey of awakening.”
Remembering an alternate route I discovered while living in Atlanta, I reflect on how knowing ourselves can help us find our own way. There are many paths, and noticing what works and resonates with you can make the journey a little easier.
