00:00:58,079 practice 26 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:00,079 so this morning we're going to begin in 27 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:01,920 a nice comfortable seat 28 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,040 you can lift your hips your your bum up 29 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,360 on a blanket or a block or a towel if 30 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,560 that feels 31 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,960 best for you just kind of

00:01:23,759 so take a second to settle in this 36 00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:25,840 moment is the most important moment 37 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,720 yes our sun salute is you know lovely 38

but i feel like this is the moment where 42 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,079 you just give yourself permission to 43 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:44,320 be still to set intentions for your day 44 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,320 and we'll do that by focusing on the 45 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:47,840 breath so take your time getting there 46 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,439 you just let the video roll on here you
