Fitness tip: Yoga-inspired stretch

[Music] hi everybody it's Shana at the ab apartments in King of preia listen this is going to be a yoga inspired move right I've been even teaching my three-year-old son Dean that stretching in the morning is super important so I've been doing little stretches with him just to kind of you know get his mind right get his body flowing and it's working so I feel like I want to share that with you but this particular one it's kind of just little yoga flow you can do it at your own pace I love to do it in the morning just do it you know for maybe 10 minutes and it just kind of censers your body gets you ready for your day you ready to go I know this is a different version of me than you're used to but stretching is important it is um so we're going to start in a high plank okay so and let listen you can go at your own pace yoga is supposed to be personal right you work at your own pace and that's what I love about it so coming into a high plank pushing back through your heels ABS engage roll your shoulders back we go from a high plank to a low plank so taking your elbows all the way back and down belly to floor taking your toes to the floor press up through your arms stretch your belly this feels so good then we're going to curl the toes under downward-facing dog pressing our hips up pressing your chest towards your thighs and we're going to just repeat it so again in a f faster way it just looks like this so we're going to high plank low plank chatarunga curl the toes under downward facing dog and really focus on your breath here right inhale exhale and just listen to your body it's super important and you know it has healing properties too I swear it does sometimes we just need to move slow listen to our body listen to our breath and just reenter ourselves you know we're always moving at a fast pace and I think it's really important to slow down too listening to our body elongating our muscles stretching out anything that feels tight or stiff you know so anyway I love this yoga flow I think you will love it too even if you do I challenge you like even if you just do this every morning for 10 minutes put on some soft music or you could do it in silence and just focus on what you want to achieve that day focus on your breath and I'm telling you it makes a difference and in a positive way it makes a difference so give it a try today
