When life gets too  mundane -- start to play and flip it around. Become present and engage with your surroundings in a new way. Try to break free from your routine headspace, immerse in the present moment, and discover the power of seeing things from a different perspective. Get playful and let your authenticity shine.

Morning flow to warm up and stretch the neck. Follow along or take it slow at your own pace. Breathe lots and deep. Keep your back straight. Why don’t the captions save from the download?

Always listen to your body. Only go as far as you can. Do not force anything. Move at your own risk. Ask your health care professional in advance of practicing if you are unsure. xo

Are you doing your correctly? As all standing postures, begin in mountain pose, inhale deeply and as you exhale hinge yourself forward from the hips (pull your tummy in tight before you hinge to help with form!). Keep a bend in your knees and reach for your feet with your hands or grab your elbows and hangout with your breath. Try something new and place your hands behind your head to further stretch the neck, shoulders and upper back. After 6-9 breaths inhale yourself up halfway for a breath or two as seen in the first image

Greeting the morning with gratitude and expressing through . Physical benefits of stretching the front side of the body, opening the hips and shoulders. Strengthening the lower back. Begin by kneeling as shown in the first photo. Push the hips forward and lift the chest toward the sky. Look straight, keep the shoulders down and together as you try to bring the elbows toward each other to further lift the chest. Stay here if that’s enough for you. If you need more try tilting your head back and eventually bringing your hands to heels as seen in the bottom two photos. Listen to your body, only go as far as you can, breathe, feel the stretch and new space being created within. Follow this posture with a and have a wonderful day!

But first, let me do a
Begin in pose and shift the weight onto the right foot, the left heal comes up toward your bum. Grab the left foot from the inside with the left hand. Inhale yourself up nice and tall. As you exhale, kick the foot back and up into the left hand. Right leg is straight and strong (no locking the knees tho!). Breathe for up to 9 breaths. Focus on lifting the chest and grounding the heals. This is good for strengthening the legs, balance, flexibility, core strength and back flexibility. Start slow and abide to the number one rule - only go as far as you. Don’t force it. Just be. Stay for up to 9 breaths and repeat on the other side.

A great morning breathing flow or for any time of the day because there is never not a good time to tune in to your breath. Begin seated or standing. Inhale; exhaling bringing your palms together at heart centre. Inhale, point the finger tips forward as you move your hands forward with your inhale. Exhale while bringing your hands back toward the body. Inhale, point the finger tips up and move your hands above your head. Gaze can fix on the tips of your thumbs or close your eyes and focus on your breath as your hands move. Repeat for several breaths. Check in with yourself after. How do you feel? Let me know in the comments!

keep it moving with the breath. This is a lovely flow to loosen and strengthen the spine. Begin on all fours; wrists under shoulders; knees under hips. Using your inhales to lift the chest and look up, exhales to tuck your chin, tuck your navel and arch your back. Go slow, move with the breath and at your own pace. Do 6-9 reps or as many as you can in 1 minute.
Be gentle with yourself, with your body and with your movements. Synchronizing your breath with movements can help you feel relaxed, and improve your mind-body connection.
Soften and end your flow by pausing in and taking a deep inhale. As you exhale - sit back on your heels for

to lengthen the spine and strengthen the core and legs. Gaze is on the floor so your neck is in a straight line with your spine or your gaze is up - this will help keep your back straight if it is too hard with your neck straight with it. Do not lock your knees. Keep your navel drawn in to support your lower back.

If you sit a lot or find yourself slouching often you can counter these actions with to build your back, stretch your abs and chest.
Begin laying on your stomach, hands are planted down and close to your waist. As you inhale, press your feet into the ground and rise up on your bellybutton. Keep your shoulders back and together. Look straight or bring the gaze up to the sky. . This will help strengthen your spine. If it hurts your lower back or you feel a lot of compression in the lower back you can lower on to your forearms in until you build the muscle to rise. Only go as far as you can and always listen to your body. Have a backbone and own your day, xoxo em
