Awesome. 201 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Slowly lower the knees, back to the mat. 202 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,360 Cross the ankles once again here. 203 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,040 And we're gonna slide back 204 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,240 through to our cross-legged seat where we began. 205 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,880 Take a twist to the left, 206 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,960 right hand comes to the left palm. 207 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,384 Sit up nice and tall, breathe in. 208 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,785 Breathe out. 209 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,208 And then a twist to the right. 210 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:33,447 Lengthening through the spine, breathe in deeply. 211 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,327 And breathe out. 212 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,680 Great, then sit up nice and tall, come back to center. 213 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,330 We're gonna end with a little energizing 214 00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:49,600 breath pattern. 215 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,400 So you're gonna bring your 216 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,000 fingertips to your shoulders here, 217 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,660 sit up nice and tall. 218 00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:56,520 I've said that a million times, but sit up tall. 219 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,320 So if you're tired, we tend to collapse, 220 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,880 so we can start to use these practices to slowly find that 221 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,520 posture that I know we all desire to maintain. 222 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,680 Alright, hug the low ribs in for a little support. 223 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,600 And for just 20 seconds here, 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,960 we're gonna start a little movement left to right. 225 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,400 Find what feels good, pace-wise, rhythm-wise. 226 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,840 And find what feels good with your breath. 227 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,320 Maybe it's short and sharp. 228 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,158 Maybe it's long and smooth. 229 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,581 Hopefully by now you're in a groove. 230 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,510 Keep both sits bones rooted to the mat for 231 00:12:43,510 --> 00:12:45,560 five, 232 00:12:45,560

the sky. 236 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,920 Palms come together and slide down into home base. 237 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,360 Anjali Mudra. 238 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,040 You can close your eyes
