Gentle Morning Stretch with Lydia | Grounding Yoga Class (35 Mins)
Movement for Back and Core Support
•
35m
Join Lydia on the mat for a grounding floor class that gently opens up your body. This practice builds on the yawns and stretches your body is called to do naturally as you awaken. You will stay low to the ground and move through spinal waves, twists, and a side-lying hip sequence. Focus on contracting your muscles, releasing, and allowing them to lengthen. These moves will act as a form of injury prevention, gently warming and preparing your body for the day ahead. Put your to-do list aside, pause your notifications, and allow yourself to connect to your body and breath.
Suggested but not necessary equipment: a blanket and two yoga blocks.
