Warm-Up: Awakening Your Body (5 Minutes)

Dynamic Forward Fold (2 Minutes)

  • Execution: Begin in a standing position with your feet hip-width apart. Inhale deeply, then exhale as you hinge forward from your hips, reaching your hands towards the floor. Bend your knees slightly as you fold forward, allowing your upper body to hang loose. Inhale to rise halfway, lengthening your spine, then exhale as you fold forward again. Repeat this flowing movement, allowing your breath to guide the rhythm.
  • Breathing: Inhale to lengthen your spine and create space, exhale to deepen the forward fold. Coordinate your breath with the movement, allowing each exhale to facilitate a deeper release into the stretch.

Standing Side Stretch (2 Minutes)

  • Execution: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and arms relaxed by your sides. Inhale deeply, then exhale as you reach one arm overhead, bending towards the opposite side. Feel the stretch along the entire side of your body, from your fingertips down to your hip. Inhale to return to center, then exhale to switch sides. Repeat this flowing movement, moving with grace and intention.
  • Breathing: Inhale to prepare for the stretch, exhale as you deepen into the side bend. Allow your breath to guide the movement, encouraging a sense of expansion and release with each exhale.

Neck and Shoulder Rolls (1 Minute)

  • Execution: Sit or stand comfortably with your spine tall and shoulders relaxed. Inhale deeply, then exhale as you gently roll your shoulders forward and up towards your ears. Continue the circular motion, exhaling as you roll your shoulders back and down. After several rotations, reverse the direction of the circles to ensure equal mobilization of the shoulder joints.
  • Breathing: Breathe deeply and evenly as you perform the shoulder rolls, allowing your breath to support the movement and encourage relaxation in the neck and shoulders.

Main Session: Flexibility Flow (25 Minutes)

Seated Forward Fold with Spinal Rotation (3 Sets, 30 Seconds Each Side)

  • Execution: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and feet flexed. Inhale to lengthen your spine, then exhale as you hinge forward from your hips, reaching your hands towards your feet. Hold the forward fold for a few breaths, then inhale as you lengthen your spine and twist towards one side, placing your opposite hand on the outside of your bent knee. Hold the twist for 30 seconds, feeling the stretch along the spine and through the side body. Repeat on the other side.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply to lengthen your spine and create space, exhale to deepen the twist. Maintain steady breaths throughout the stretch, allowing your breath to guide you deeper into the movement.

Low Lunge with Side Stretch (3 Sets, 30 Seconds Each Side)

  • Execution: Begin in a low lunge position with one foot forward between your hands and the other knee resting on the ground. Inhale to lift your chest and reach your arms overhead, creating length through your spine. Exhale as you lean towards the side of your front leg, feeling the stretch along the side body. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch to the other side.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply to lengthen your spine and create space, exhale to deepen the side stretch. Focus on maintaining steady breaths to enhance relaxation and release in the muscles.

Pigeon Pose (3 Sets, 30 Seconds Each Side)

  • Execution: Begin in a tabletop position with your wrists aligned under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Bring one knee forward towards your wrist, angling it towards the opposite wrist. Extend your opposite leg behind you, keeping the hips square. Inhale to lengthen your spine, then exhale as you fold forward over your front leg, feeling the stretch in your hip and glute. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch to the other side.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply to prepare for the pose, exhale to deepen the stretch. Focus on maintaining steady breaths to encourage relaxation and release in the hips and glutes.

Cooldown: Embracing Stillness (5 Minutes)

Child's Pose (2 Minutes)

  • Execution: Begin on your hands and knees, then sink your hips back towards your heels as you extend your arms forward, resting your forehead on the mat. Allow your chest to melt towards the ground, feeling a gentle stretch along your spine and through your shoulders. Hold the pose for 1-2 minutes, breathing deeply and surrendering to the sensation of release.
  • Breathing: Inhale deeply to expand your chest and create space, exhale to release tension and sink deeper into the pose. Focus on softening with each exhale, allowing any residual stress to melt away.

Supine Spinal Twist (2 Minutes Each Side)

  • Execution: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Extend your arms out to the sides in line with your shoulders. Inhale deeply, then exhale as you lower both knees towards one side, keeping your shoulders grounded. Hold the twist for 1-2 minutes, feeling the gentle stretch along your spine and through your hips. Repeat on the other side.
