Yes. It’s that simple. Lay on your back near a wall, and let your legs rest against the wall, feet high. Breathe.
•
You could point and flex your feet- or you could just let gravity help gently pull the blood from your feet and legs back toward your heart.
•
This posture is good for relieving anxiety, and very calming to the central nervous system. It helps lymphatic flow, too (especially if you’ve done the week 2 practice for opening your lymphatic system.) Invite your entire back body to relax into the ground. A wise teacher once told me, “you’ve worked hard, it’s OK to rest.”
•
Might be a nice little practice to add to your bedtime routine. Do you HAVE a bedtime routine??

Really. This week’s assignment is to pause for 5 minutes. If that’s just too much, pause for 1 minute, 5 times. Remember to breathe- and if it helps calm your busy mind, focus on every detail of your breath. Full, deep inhales through your nose- and slow, gentle exhales through an open mouth.
•
In yoga practice, we pause between postures or flows. We learn to embrace the pause. Because a pause is more powerful than any movement. It defines my movement, so many days.
•
Learning to pause, to be still, can feel like magic in your body.

One of my big fears when I removed dairy and grains from my plate: how will I love people w food if I can’t bake them delicious treats?
•
This is how: Dark chocolate covered strawberries & paleo apple skillet cake, made w coconut oil & coconut flour, eggs, and spices.

Before your downward-facing dog, or beginning your commute home at the end of your day…find a tall seat or strong standing posture. You can do this in your car seat!
•
Inhale, as you raise your shoulders to your ears. Create tension.
•
Exhale, as you lower shoulders. Release tension.
•
Move at any pace that feels nourishing in YOUR body. Repeating the coordinated breath w movement.Try slowing it way down. Then speed it up- as long as you’re not creating pain.
•
Notice what you feel, from the inside. This is yoga.

Use your 5 minutes each day this week to “stack” each of the four practices we’ve introduced:
1. Deep breathing, while you move through 2-4
2. Lymphatic clearing
3. Seated spinal flexions
4. Feet & ankles
•
Small practices with intention. Awareness of how your body feels before and after.

I had such an aversion to fish for decades, that I truly congratulate myself when I remember to eat it. ESPECIALLY when I cook wild-caught salmon at home! Yay me 😜!
•
Are you having some “yay, you!” moments? Because they really matter. Learned that in yoga, too.

Your feet will thank you. And your alignment BEGINS in your feet, so there’s a lot of potential when you improve your foot awareness! Foot pain? Try this. Always work gently🙏
•
Begin seated, crossing one foot over the other leg in a “figure 4” Position. Flex your top foot, and gently pound the ball of the foot w your opposite fist. (Cross body practices build your corpus callosum, the connection between right and left hemispheres of your brain.)
•
Then interlace fingers between toes- or at least try- this will likely become easier with practice, and we need healthy separation between our toes for a stable foundation. No judgment needed here, just use your fingers to gently move into your toe joints. See if you can stay cretinous, and find something that feels good.
•
Then use gentle leverage to circle your ankle, both ways. Then do all 3 practices with the other foot.
•
Gentle practice. Kindness. Self care can look like this: by spending time reconnecting your mind and body. #proprioceptive #awareness
•
I’d love to know how this feels- try it for 5 minutes, every day this week (maybe morning and night?!)

This gentle yoga practice will be designed to bring calm to your nervous system, and I invite young and old (aka WISE) to get curious about spending time IN your body, and OUT of your busy, overwhelmed mind. This life can be hard. And we can teach our bodies (and minds) how to find peace in the pressure.
•
It’s not weird, it’s science. There is healing wisdom waiting to be noticed in YOUR body.

You can learn how different foods impact your body. And then you can choose to avoid those foods most or all of the time. It’s a process that requires mindful attention- not obsessing. And a lot of self compassion.
•
@doc_amen calls it “loving foods that love you back”. Inflammatory foods don’t just affect your waistline- they affect your brain, and countless body processes.

You may have heard this posture called “cat/cow”.
•
We’re bringing our awareness to our spinal mobility this week. Seated in a chair or on the ground, exhale all of your breath as you round your spine and shoulders, and bring your chin towards your chest. Inhale as you open your heart and drop your belly, tipping your chin and gaze up without crunching into neck or low spine. Imagine your shoulder blades coming closer together behind you.
•
Repeat these exhales + inhales, with corresponding spinal flexions, for several minutes. Notice the different sensations in your low (lumbar) spine- to your upper (thoracic) spine- to your neck (cervical) spine.
•
Many of us default to the flexibility in our lumbar spine- so I challenge you to be curious, and GENTLE, as you imagine your inhale expanding your ribcage from the inside. Pull your naval to your spine on the exhale.
•
Notice if any point in the movement feels tight or tender- move slowly and gently, and invite your breath to melt that tension & soothe that discomfort. We never want sharp pain- so always listen to your body.
•
5 minutes of spinal flexions + long deep coordinated breathing for the next 7 days? I’d love to hear what you notice when you commit to this kind of daily self-care🧡.
•
Sidenote: you’re activating abdominal muscles, massaging internal organs, and stimulating your vagus nerve- not to mention lubricating and aligning your spine with this practice. So many benefits!
