"Hello, my name is Scott Soller, yoga instructor. I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village. Next segment, Downward Dog, a breath or two here, you can bend your knees, push into your hands, shift the weight back, tail lifting, then squeeze the heels down. Now we're going to come on to the fingertips leading again with the right foot, exhale. Warrior One, we're going to go into our standing poses and break each of the standing poses down. Pressing into the right foot we come up and we're going to relax the right knee over the heel, this is the Warrior One. Your heels are pretty close to one line, your four points at the bottom of your feet, inner/outer ball of foot, inner/outer heel or routing, left hip squares to your right, roll the outer left thigh in, and scoop the lower abdominals in and lift chest up here. Now we're going to take the hands down for the other side, inhale, exhale. Now step forward. Inhale, exhale, now we'll do the other side. To familiarize with the standing poses, we'll tie it in at the end. Arms float up, exhaling, knee comes over heel, back heel is down, you want to reach from the back heel forward into the knee, as you exhale roll the outer right thigh in to square right hip to the left. Again, lift the chest, scoop the abdominals, float the chest, and look up."
