In today's session, Cassandra guides us through a rejuvenating morning power yoga flow aimed at energizing the body and setting an uplifting tone for the day. This halfway-point routine embodies an intermediate practice that strengthens muscles while building warmth and vitality.

Begin standing at the top of your mat with feet hip-width apart, shoulders relaxed and a mindful attention to your breathing. It all begins with a grounding exercise to connect with your bodily sensations, raising energy through gentle stretches and side bends.

The session quickly transitions into dynamic movement flows, incorporating Warrior poses and High Lunge variations. Notice how these poses demand not only physical strength but also focus and precision—key components for cultivating a poised mindset for your day. Consistent, controlled movements, combined with intentional breathwork, help engage key muscle groups effectively.

Cassandra places a particular emphasis on balancing poses such as Warrior Three and side planks. These exercises target core muscles and are vital for stability and strength. Work diligently through the one-legged squats described, appreciating how each pose enhances both coordination and muscular endurance.

Wind down the practice with calming postures such as a wide-legged forward fold and variations of side angle poses to stretch and relax any tense areas of the body. Feel the grounding effects of synchronization and gradual muscle extension.

"Morning classes are a wonderful opportunity to set an intention for your day."

As Cassandra guides us through the final stretches, we are invited to choose a focal point word reflecting how we want to navigate our day. This incorporation of intentions encourages a reflective mindset and fosters a positive mental outlook aligned with the physical tone set earlier in practice.

After concluding with a soothing chant and setting your daily intention, you should sense renewed vigor and clarity. Share your one-word intention with others to foster community engagement and inspire more intentional practices in the future.
