Your Own Yoga

You can be your own yoga teacher and meditate as well. How? Here are simple instructions just for you to be your own yoga teacher with peace and love.

  1. Get on a mat!

  2. Breath. Inhale a few seconds, exhale a few seconds. Close your mouth and notice your breath in and out of your nose ... “ujayii” victorious breathing.

  3. Sit in child pose with knees out, sits bones on your heels and head down toward the earth. Be you.

  4. Lean forward to a cat position and inhale, arch your back like a cat, exhale to cow asana, belly hanging.

  5. Down Dog - lift knees off mat, press into toes, and stretch your arms while hanging your head and take 5 slow, deep breaths. Close your eyes and visualize!

  6. Lift your eyes, walk your feet to your hands, folding position and repeat “Appreciating Appreciates”!

  7. Inhale and lift arms to the sky. Make or set an intention with your eyes closed. Give it to the universe, look up.

  8. Up Dog - Swan dive arms to the earth, head to knees and exhale. Palms flat on the ground, straighten one leg behind you and the other to a “plank” or push up position. Lower down with the top of feet pushing into the floor, straighten your arms and breathe. Great job!

  9. Inhale and lift your hips, exhale and straighten your legs and arms to Down Dog again. Inhale /Exhale to a seated position: Lotus, cross-legged on the mat.

  10. Inhale, straighten legs and arms, exhale while lowering down flat with palms up to Svasana, resting pose and Meditate at least several minutes……Namaste!
