During the spring when energy increases and things begin to grow, it can be more important than ever to nurture and root into our practices and self-care. This practice brings attention to the kidneys, belly, and legs so we can feel relaxed, nourished, and connected. This deep stretch sequence begins with diaphragmatic breathing, seated twists, and forward folds. Then move onto hands and knees for cat/cow, melting heart, and sphinx. Explore your edge with twisted frogs and optional quad stretch. Neck and shoulder stretches help release tension, and butterfly variations create space and softness.
