Exhale - Child's Pose (Balasana) - - (2 min)
Move to the middle of your mat with your knees to the edges and your big
toes touching,
Melt your forehead on the mat,
Sink your hips down
Take this time to really find yourself on the mat. Maybe our minds are taking
us somewhere far away, worried about this or stressed about that, but go
ahead and give your mind permission to just be here, within the four corners
of your mat.
Notice your natural breath here. The ebb and flow. Maybe close your eyes.
Then we'll begin to deepen the breath by taking a deep inhale through the
nose, and exhale through the mouth. Inahale again through the nose, exhale
through the mouth. We're going to do the same thing this time, but with the
lips closed. Create a constriction in the back of your throat so that the inhale
and exhale are audible. Inhale, exhale. One more time. Inhale, exhale.
This is your ujayi breath, the breath of fire. It is energizing as it brings heat to
he body, but it also anchors the busy mind during practice. I encourage you
to practice this breath as we move through the flow, letting it be the
soundtrack to your movement.
We'll take another inhale together, and exhale, let's get moving.

Our thoughts are powerful tools. We are creating energy on the mat, so why
not channel that energy into creating a reality that is meaningful for us? This
is the purpose of setting an intention for class. If you have an intention
already in mind, go ahead and call that forward, and affirm that intention
with your whole body. If you don't have an intention, go ahead and begin to
reflect on Acceptance. Baron Baptiste says to stand in front of your past and
let it be.
That can be a lot easier said than done. Let's dedicate this practice to
accepting who we are and where we are at this time and being confident
that we are exactly where we are meant to be in this given moment.

Stack your joints. When you move into High Plank, align your shoulders over
your elbows and your elbows over your wrists. Palms should be shoulder-

Pin elbows to ribs. When you lower down to Mid Plank, this alignment will
support your transition. Also, make sure your shoulders do not dip below
your elbows - arms should maintain a 90-degree angle.
