Has your New Year's resolve already lost steam? It's never too late to shift your perspective. This playful sequence will re-inspire you. Strengthen your core, as you clear out the old and open into the new.
With the inauguration of a new calendar year comes the invitation for fresh thinking. It’s our time to ignite. In honor of the palpable potential a new beginning brings, we yogis can use our bodies in tandem with our breath to mark the transitions mindfully. This sequence is designed to stimulate the metabolism, generate heat, and rid the body of excess. It is a playful series that will strengthen the core, detoxify from the old, and open into the new.
It takes strength and trust in oneself to be willing to begin again; starting new is no easy task. This yoga sequence asks us to be brave: to let old stories melt away, and find transformation in our physicality. Use the breath to move into a conscious state of presence. Each exhale is a letting go. Each inhale is an opening. The movements in between are yours for expression. Repeat all poses on both sides and breathe with intent.
Bend the arms to a 90-degree angle and shift your weight forward. Draw power into the core and straighten the legs until they playfully float to the sky.
Draw the extended leg forward and stack the knee over the ankle. Begin to lift the arms and the chest to the sky. Sink deeper into the hips with every exhale.
Thoughtfully press the elbow to the outside of the knee and connect the hands to the center of the chest. Lift the back knee and extend through the heel.
Come to kneeling with the knees hip-width apart. Bring the hands to heart center and lean the head back, opening the chest to the sky. Keep pressing the hips forward.
