Let’s explore your balance with a 10-minute morning yoga flow that asks both legs to participate. I’ll guide you through twisting Chair Pose, standing splits and Dancer Pose, with time to notice your breath and decide how you want to arrive in your day.
I recorded this practice in the jungle at Palmaïa – The House of Aïa in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, on the Riviera Maya. Whether your morning begins in the actual jungle or the urban jungle, join me for a little movement and a fresh perspective—with a nearby lizard making an appearance in my commentary during Lizard Lunge.
We’ll begin with a flowing warm-up, explore opposite-arm-and-leg balance and knee-to-elbow movement, then move through lizard twists, Chair Pose and standing balances. The sequence builds toward a standing twist and Dancer Pose, with three-legged plank and Chaturanga transitions along the way. Take the options that feel right for your body, including holding your thigh instead of your foot in the standing twist.
We’ll finish standing, with a hand on the heart and a hand on the stomach. My invitation: find a moment of paradise in the middle of the mundane. What beauty might someone else notice if they could glimpse your everyday life?
