Are you an over thinker? Get out of your head & into your body…
Is there too much swirling around in your head and you can’t quite calm it down? Does stress have your thoughts all intertwined into a tangled mess?
Wouldn’t be awesome to take a break from this tornado of stressful energy?
In a way that brings you to the present moment and calms you down?
Move your body and breathe!
Why?
🔑 Movement brings you to the present moment giving you relief from stress and overthinking of the past and future. 🔑 While focusing on your movements and breath, you give your thoughts a break. 🔑 Engaging your senses, like breath awareness, redirects your thoughts. 🔑 Lower body work leads to feeling grounded; safe, secure, and stable allowing the whirlwind of thoughts to slow down.
Get into your body and out of your head in this 25 min Grounding Leg Opening Yoga Flow.
Enjoy! Be well.
Remember to breathe.

Only have 10 min? This guided breathing meditation is all you need to grab some time to yourself.
Gentle observation of the breath is a great way to create calmness and a sense of well being. Get comfy and grab a blanket if it’s cold.
This guided breathing meditation is great for everyone no matter what stage of your meditation practice you’re in. Whether you’re just starting out with mediation or have been doing it for years…following the gentle rise and fall of your own breath is one of the least complicated ways to meditate.
Notice I said ‘least complicated’ ways to meditate. Meditation is a skill just like learning to write or how to cook.
Which means practicing some patience with yourself as well as allowing yourself to be open enough for the experience; i.e. distracting thoughts, your eyes popping open incessantly, and the endless itches you just HAVE to scratch that will come up.
But…
Embrace all the calmness, feeling connected, and clarity that comes with it. These are only a few of the bazillion benefits that come with a meditation practice.
Enjoy! Be well.
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.

This Wrist Friendly, Inversion Free Opt. Vinyasa Yoga Flow connects the breath with the movement to find strength, flexibility, and mobility to maximize the flow of spinal fluid for optimal cleansing.
Did you know our breath helps move the spinal fluid?
Yep, an inhale delivers the flow of fluid that bathes the human brain for a good cleansing. When you exhale, the waste that piles up in your brain is washed away creating better health.
Pretty cool, huh?
Fuller, more intentional breathing is what helps clear the toxins out. Shallow, short breaths don’t do as much as far as cleansing goes.
“Deep breathing has a greater impact on the flow of brain fluid than short, shallow breathing”,
Vegard Vinje, a PhD candidate at the Simula Research Laboratory. Source
In addition, moving our spines regularly gives us greater range of motion, better posture, a stronger core, AND lessens your chances of back pain.
Bonus!!
Now imagine how blissful combining the cleansing breath with the movement would be…
In this practice, you’ll get everything listed PLUS very intentional breath movement-coordination to assist in the cleansing process. 🌟 This is why yoga makes us feel pretty darn good. 🌟
