Begin with some stretches on your back that get into every part of the lower triangle before moving into meditation and optional chanting, cat/cow variations, thread the needle, downward dog, low lunge, pyramid variations, warrior I, standing back bends, hand-to-big-toe on your side body, sphinx, pigeon, optional vinyasas, and lots of spinal flexing.
Level: 1/2 slow flow
