This morning practice will help you get up on the best side of the bed. On a physical level, yin yoga is most effective when our muscles are cold so we can reach the deeper layers of the body. Coupled with mindfulness, and guided Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing, this is a great way to start your day and set yourself up for more ease in your physical body and clarity in your mind.

The shift to working virtually has undoubtedly taken a toll on our minds and bodies. This mini practice is dedicated to releasing the tension we hold in our spine and arms from sitting at our computers all day. The specific focus is between the cervical and thoracic spine (from your neck to your ribcage) as well as the shoulders and wrists. Take 15 minutes at your desk, in your bed or on your mat to release some tension and protect your neck!

Open every major muscle group, build a lot of heat, fire up your core with intense ab work, practice standing balance to strengthen your body and your ability to focus, get on your hands with options to get upside down, open your heart and your hamstrings, clear your mind, wring yourself out, have a few laughs, and take a nice rest all under an hour! You're welcome, ha!

If you're short on time but want something deep, targeted and thorough, this is for you! We build heat quickly and get right into the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, do a little twisting, back-bending and core strengthening, breathe deeply, get focused and start the day right! (I intended it as a morning practice, but you can do it any time you need a reset!)

If morning stiffness makes getting out of bed a challenge, or if you are under the weather and you don't have energy for a lot of activity, give yourself this gentle, dynamic movement practice while you are still in bed. Give lots of attention to lengthening the breath and sensing the energizing effects of feeling your breath and your body moving into a place of expanded ease. Do what feels good and notice how simple movements can shift how you feel so that you are inspired to be gentle and keep moving throughout your day!

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a great way to bump up your cardio and strength workouts as well as add intensity and variety to your workouts. HIIT is a type of interval training in which you alternate short, very high intensity intervals with longer, slower intervals to recover. It improves performance, it helps you burn more fat, and it helps you burn more calories all day long.

Sun Salutes give you a sense of balance, beauty and grace! We will warm up the body with a modified version that avoids forward folding and full weight bearing on the wrists so that you get all of the movement, fluidity, freedom and joy of practicing "vinyasa" yoga while avoiding any strain or pain. Let this practice warm you up for more challenging sessions 3-5. Or do it alone to invigorate your body for a quick morning practice to invite the sunshine into your day.
