Flow - Day 19 - Ride

Every moment on the mat is a chance to connect with your inner self. Today's session invites you to embark on a fantastic twenty-minute voyage, designed to integrate breath and motion seamlessly. Prepare to join Benji and explore various poses promoting mindfulness, flexibility, and inner strength.

Begin by settling onto your yoga mat, adopting a comfortable seated position. Allow your chin to tuck slightly and lengthen through the crown of your head. With each inhalation, invite love and gratitude for the present. Exhaling, visualize releasing any stress or tension.

From a seated posture, move forward onto all fours, transitioning through essential poses such as Tabletop and Child’s Pose. As you inhale, allow your belly to drop and your chest to open; on the exhale, round the spine, bringing chin to chest for a gentle spinal massage. Focus intensely on the breath, noticing its calming effect on the body.

Kick your right toes back, extend the left hand forward, and engage your core through controlled, slow movements. By emphasizing breath-synchronized movements, instill a sense of balance and unity within yourself.

As we progress, invite yourself into aware movements such as Downward Facing Dog and Standing Forward Fold. These poses not only engage major muscle groups but also offer a bonus of improved circulation and calmness.

After several strengthening and extending exercises, melt back into Extended Child's Pose. Allow your forehead to connect with the earth, taking this moment to recall and strengthen your intention—your 'why' for today's practice. Breathe deeply, inviting calm and relaxation.

Through a gentle progression, guide yourself into standing positions, grounding through Tadasana. These postures, like One-Legged Tadasana, encourage balance, uplift the soul, and remind you of the connection between ease and effort in yoga.

Explore elegance and resilience through poses akin to Dancer. Elevate your heart as extensions stretch beyond the mechanics of your physique. Whether standing strong or collectively pointing toes skyward, ground energy transitions upwards harmoniously.

“Capture a little magic moment. Embrace gratitude and notice how you feel.”

Conclude your session in openness and thanks. Follow your breath once more, starting from conscious escape downward then goal-oriented rising, like opposite forces embracing total synthesis. Shoulders relaxed, eyes closed, connecting to your inner rhythm.

In traditional closure, retreat with Happy Baby Pose, setting arms gently on lower abdominal toparchy (perhaps lifting them); contrary contacts impart smooth tranquility reducing tension aggregator patch. Conclude with palms merged, that inner cheer keep glimpse bond you recollect forevermore.
