Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Amy and I’m a yoga teacher at Yoga-Yoga in Austin, Texas. I’ve been teaching yoga full time for four years, and I’ve been practicing yoga for a little over four years. So, we’ll start by coming to sit cross-legged; you can pull your legs in as close as is comfortable for you. And we’ll start with full yoga breath. You can just close your eyes, allow your hands to rest on your legs, and take several breaths, allowing your belly button to move away from your spine as you inhale and as you exhale, gently pulling your belly button in back toward your spine. Let the shoulders relax down, let the jaw release, inhaling letting the belly button fluid away from the spine, exhaling gently letting the belly button back in toward the spine. Let the heart lift, shoulders drop and the jaw relax. Relax the eyes. And you can do this anywhere between two and three minutes, up to five minutes to prepare for your practice.
