gaze up cool a little slowly release walk the knees back in and so day 25 so now we're gonna begin to either transition straight to shavasana or I'd love for you to explore a little freestyle so depending on the amount of energy you have today you might come up onto your toes plant your palms and work on bakasana maybe you are working on a crow practice lifting one toe and then the other maybe you pause and you're like I'd love to learn that and you hop on over to the foundations of crow pose video for a little fun same thing with an inversion maybe you want to work on a headstand today or a shoulder stand so moving over to the foundations of yoga or if you're earning and seeing those in your in your practice you might begin to just work on a little bit of prep and then play with that here if you were enjoying the hips happy hip openers of yesterday of yesteryear then you might shift forward and to come into a one-legged pigeon mindfully of course breathing using the sound of your breath to stay focused in on the sensations and then of course just make sure you repeat on the other side so I'd love to just offer this up to you right now a little playtime at the end of your practice again I think this is going to inspire you to continue to do this after our 30 days we want to start that now and day 25 if you're tired if time is short then you might just head straight to shavasana like me and I begin to get settled in for a little relaxation maybe coming into a reclined twist or whatever feels good letting the weight of the body begin to relax and settle and really just focusing on the breath maybe coming into even a meditation pose over this shavasana is always a good idea to use this nice little moment of stillness so I'm really proud of you guys I'm really honored to be here day 25 with you and I will see you tomorrow stick with it day 26 namaste enjoy your play time or your relaxation [Music]
