  1. Start in a comfortable seated position, with your legs crossed and your hands resting on your knees. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, focusing on your inhales and exhales.

  2. Begin to warm up your body by gently rolling your neck in circles, first in one direction and then in the other. Repeat this a few times, allowing any tension in your neck and shoulders to release.

  3. Move into a seated forward fold by extending your legs out in front of you. Inhale to lengthen your spine, and then exhale to fold forward, reaching for your toes or ankles. Hold this pose for a few breaths, feeling a stretch in the back of your legs.

  4. From the seated forward fold, come into a tabletop position on your hands and knees. Inhale to lift your chest and tailbone towards the ceiling, coming into Cow Pose. Exhale to round your spine and tuck your chin towards your chest, coming into Cat Pose. Flow between these two poses for a few rounds, syncing your breath with your movement.

  7. From high lunge, step your left foot forward to meet your right foot at the top of your mat. Inhale to lift halfway up, lengthening your spine, and then exhale to fold forward, reaching for your toes or ankles. Repeat this movement a few times, flowing with your breath.

  8. Inhale to rise up to standing, sweeping your arms overhead. Exhale to fold forward, reaching for your toes or ankles. Inhale to lift halfway up, lengthening your spine, and then exhale to fold forward again. Repeat this movement a few times, flowing with your breath.

  9. From standing forward fold, step your right foot back into a high lunge. Reach your arms overhead and engage your core to stabilize your body. Hold this pose for a few breaths, feeling a stretch in your hip flexors and the front of your left thigh.

  10. Transition into Warrior II by opening your hips to the side and extending your arms out to the sides, parallel to the ground. Keep your front knee bent and your back leg straight. Gaze over your front hand and hold this pose for a few breaths, feeling strong and grounded.
