DAY 2 DETAILS:

Meditation: Intention: Remember to be present and focus on now. Embrace the moment as to not be haunted by the past/regret or anxious about the future. Anticipating what’s next. Stay grounded in what you are doing when you are doing it. Slow down & breathe. 

Cat & Cow Pose: 

  • Begin with your hands and knees on the floor in a tabletop position. Make sure your knees are under your hips, and your wrists are under your shoulders. Begin in a neutral spine position, with your back flat and your abs engaged.
  • Take a deep inhale, lead with your tailbone--lifting it to the ceiling as you arch your back, belly relaxes towards the floor and your head lifts to the sky. This is cat pose.
  • On the exhale, lead with your tailbone--lowering it toward the ground, round your spine up towards the ceiling, engaging your abs. Tuck your chin towards your chest, and let your neck release as you look toward your thighs. This is cow pose.

Cobra Pose:

  • Begin lying on the floor with legs together and feet pointed. Place hands under shoulders and squeeze your elbows close to your body.
  • Press the tops of your feet, legs, and hips to the floor as you inhale and lift your chest off of the floor keeping the neck relaxed and drawing shoulders and elbows back, continue to lift the chest as your face begins to look up. Go to a comfortable height that feels good for you. Press your tailbone toward the floor and lift the abs toward the spine.
  • Relax the shoulders away from your ears.

Child’s Pose:

  • Kneel on the floor. Bring your big toes to touch and sit on your heels, then separate your knees about as wide as the mat.
  • INHALE and EXHALE leaning forward with your arms extended to the floor, go down as far as feels good for you.
