Video Transcript

"Lunges, let’s go back to our all four position. We’re going to start on left foot forward, taking a big step forward, so our knee is over our ankle. We’re going to press our finger tips into the floor and curl our right toes under and lift our heart. Let your hips come forward and down, you’ll see you can feel a little bit of a gentle stretch, a nice opening here in the right quadriceps. We’re not pushing ourselves here. This is not a time to push yourself. This is not a time to try and make progress to yoga ?? (0030) this is the time to just do some gentle stretching, allow your body to feel good and to release. Good, step the left knee back, you can come back into child’s pose and set the right foot forward, take a big step forward make sure the knee is not going to pass the toe, lift the knee over the ankle, press your finger tips into the floor curl left toes under again allow your hips will come forward lift your heart and feel a nice stretch here along the front and left side of the body and in front of the left leg.
