Short yoga warm-up for long walking
How’s your yoga practice going this summer? Do you have an opportunity to luxuriate in your practice, or does it fall by the wayside of other activities? If it’s the latter, it might be useful to remind yourself what it feels like to connect to your body by doing short, simple routines prior to engaging in your summer activities. Your practice doesn’t have to be long or elaborate to matter, it just needs to support you in your current endeavors.
In this short standing practice, we gently move your spine in all five directions, loosen up all major joints, and ensure unimpeded energy flow along all five major energetic channels. You can do this practice any time you need a slight energetic boost.
Do you feel stable? Do you move with grace and ease? Do you feel lightness in your body? How well do you handle change? According to the yoga tradition, the answers to those questions define our health and wellness.
