Just don’t forget to do the rejuvenating sequence on both sides.
Start in child’s pose.
Concentrate on relaxing your body and deepening your breath.
Make your way onto your hands and knees.
Do this 3-5 times.
Find a neutral spine and extend right arm and left leg.
Pause to challenge your core, then round your back and bring your left knee to touch your forehead.
Straighten arm and leg.
Bend left knee and reach right hand around and behind body to grab left ankle or foot.
Release leg and flow through downward facing dog.
Lower right hand to right leg.
Lift the torso up and over as you stretch to the left.
Press palms together, engage your core and look over your top shoulder.
Return to center and lift your arms overhead and begin to slowly arch back for a mini backbend.
Be sure to draw your belly in and stretch your chin away from your chest.
Return to center and plant your hands on both sides of your right foot.
Step your right foot back to meet your left and push back into downward facing dog.
