Happy Monday! Here is your second capsule practice. My favourite time to incorporate yoga into my day is first thing, whilst still in pajamas - abs are best on an empty stomach, pajamas are nice and stretchy, and you can have shower and breakfast afterwards and start your day feeling great! But you can do this practice at any time of day that suits you. In your lunch break! While the baby naps! While you’re waiting for the dinner to cook! Last thing at night!
Do each pose for five to eight breaths (or five to eight breaths on each side, if it’s asymmetrical). Do five to eight rounds of abs.
Never stretch into pain. Take care of your body. If you’re pregnant then skip the abs exercise and don’t do anything that doesn’t feel right.
Take three deep breaths, focussing on the sensation of breathing.
Gentle stretch: Shoulder shrugs
Abs exercise: Elbow to knee
Something zingy: Dolphin
Final relaxation: Lie on your back in a warm place for at least a minute and let tension drain from your body.
