unsure of how to escape the clutches of a crummy mood?
Your secret weapon is here!!
A Mood Boosting Stretching Practice, tailor-made for practitioners of all levels; good for beginners through experienced.
One morning I was feeling particularly sour and knew that a few minutes moving on my mat would help neutralize some of the crankies I was experiencing.
Will this rid you of all the grumpiness? Maybe. Maybe not. BUT…
It will definitely shift your energy to feel lighter than when you started. I know because it helped my sour mood become less acidic; if ya know what I mean. ????
Heart-opening poses are seamlessly woven into the flow this yoga stretching practice, setting the stage for your mood shifting transformative experience.
Picture yourself moving from a state of crankiness to one of uplifted spirits, as the feel-good vibe takes center stage.
This yoga experience excludes standing poses, keeping you grounded, aiding in the connection with your body, and helping you break free from overthinking.
Enjoy the simplicity of this stretch, making you more flexible and leaving the grumpiness behind.
???? I perform this without going upside down, but you do you.
DETAILS:
???? Good for All Levels (Beginner’s Welcome) ✨ Inversion Free ???? Blocks are helpful but optional.

Remember to breathe.

Did you do too many squats? Or try an online Cardio Leg video like I did and now you can hardly walk?
Yeah, I feel your pain. Been there, done that. ????????
This Squat Recovery Yoga Practice is designed to stretch out the soreness in the places that hurt after too many squats. Inner thighs, hamstrings, hips, glutes, and of course, the quads. Hip openers and leg stretches are priority with longer holds to allow the muscles to ease out of pain.
Here’s why that soreness, caused by lactic acid build up, rears it’s ugly self:
“A temporary buildup of lactic acid can be caused by vigorous exercise if your body doesn’t have enough available oxygen to break down glucose in the blood. This can cause a burning feeling in the muscle groups you’re using.” Source
With that said—this is why breathing is SO important when you workout; yoga or otherwise. ????
Do this practice daily until you feel better. Happy stretching!
DETAILS:
I’ll be performing this practice Inversion Free but you do you. ???? No props needed, unless you want ‘em. ???? Good for Experienced Level. ???? Minimal cues are given so you can focus on feeling the feels. ✨ Inversion Free means no downward facing dog, no head stand, no poses where the head goes below the heart. Great for those with glaucoma, cardiac issues, vertigo, acid reflux, or if you just don’t like going upside down.
Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.

Do you find that sometimes you want to do a full practice but you only have a hot minute to yourself?
If only it was possible to do a quickie yoga practice and feel refreshed…
And if you’re at work, sometimes breaking into stretches can create awkwardness when your co-workers give you that what-is-going-on-over-there look ????
I know exactly what that feels like….
And so this 3 min Quickie Yoga Stretch was born.
It’s Inversion Free,
Wrist Friendly,
all done in your chair,
PLUS it targets the whole body.
This flow works the spine in every direction, releases the upper back/shoulders, and stretches the legs out.
???? No props needed
???? Good for ALL Levels.
Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.
????????Namaste my friends????????
