And these air these air larges joints or largest muscle group areas in the bodies, is around these two areas, Um, so, as we sink into it a little bit deeper, really think about relaxing into the whole body is much you can and notice any areas that were holding.

Use a strap If you need to reach back with the right hand, grab ahold of the foot. Pull the hell towards the glute. It's a nice little quad stretch, and it's okay if the if the legs out here. All we're looking to do is to find a stretch through the quad. It doesn't have to be all the way in like this. You know, it's never about what the stretch looks like. It's always just about what the stretch feels like, so feel into it as much as you can. A few more breasts. Release the lake out to the side, come up around, keep the right leg straight.

This time we're hold the stretch. In this half hurdlers crawl out through the left fingertips, Maybe bring the left elbow down, keeping the twist stand out to the right fingers. You know, this could be really intense post, so just take it as deep as you can. You don't even have to come down on your elbows or anything. We're just in here, and you should be feeling all kinds of stretch to the side, body and rotation through the hips, as well as a nice, intense stretch to the outer right side of the right leg. If there's too much tension on the knee on the outside of the knee, this is just cause of of Ah, your hamstrings, you know, back off a little bit, but you're looking to find the sensation and gaze up pass right shoulder. It is a really nice, nice twist that you take yourself really deep into a few more breaths. Inhale. Come back to center, straighten legs out. We'll roll the toes in, rolling out problem, man out in on this one. We're going to keep the legs externally, rotated. They're so so point the toes back, lift the chest up nice and high. Walk the arms. Ford come down onto the forms or onto pulsar block or even the fingertips is wherever you have it, and it mentioned. That's this, this on the other side. But if you're really, really tight and you can't even get your chest forward, elevate yourself up onto a pillow on. That's really nice because it allows some padding for the hamstrings attachments to be a little bit more free, and it elevates you up so that you could get the feeling of floor folding for for some of us were like this. It's It's so tight, and this is really an uncomfortable position, and the idea is not to be uncomfortable but to make it work for you. So elevate the but and at least get to a place where you could come forward took me a long time to get to the place where I could lay my chest down. I mean, I wasn't super on flexible in this when I started, but I was somewhere about here. Was was my farthest point forward, and this was when I was in my twenties, you know, it was like I think I was like, 33 or so when I was able to get my chest down, so just cause you're a little bit older doesn't mean that you're not still able to get more flexible, and some of people that I have worked with that are super, super flexible, and they still get more flex board in their late fifties early sixties. And it's, you know the body will still do what it needs to do. So just a few more breaths in this pose in the hands back, come back into our downward facing dog. Stretch out the left calf here, a little bit planned down to the left heel. Sink the chest back if you need to bend anymore, just kind of stretching and working into the calf muscle and into the Heelys on reflection of the left ankle. Come on, format turned sideways so that the knees are on the mat. Or even come Fords, the knees and the toes or on the mat. If you need to double up the mat to get a little bit more cushion underneath the knees. And that's that's great to Dio coming into a frog pose. And this poses really, really intense and the father the feeder out, the more intense that it's going to be. And the more that we move the hips back towards the heels of more intense that it's gonna be Take this really slow, but this is just one of those great poses that most of us don't like to do because it's so intense. Um, but it really has a lot of benefits in the opening up the hips and releasing all the tension that we carry in the hips, and we're here for two minutes. So settle in into the breath, give you a little bit time with me not talking. While you just allow yourself to come into the intensity of the post, may be able to sink in a little bit deeper, go a little bit deeper, push the hips back towards the heels. Just a little more trying to cross that edge, though, even give yourself a little little distance away from the edge, feeling to the intensity of it, but not so much that it starts to cost stress. We're in the feet together. It's like the knees together come down onto the belly with the feet up and just windshield wiper, the legs so left on the right. It's to counter the the opening lot. A little internal rotation, external rotation to the legs, work your way onto your back, the last pose that we're gonna do reclined, bounding, oppose or souped Obata con asana. This is too much on the hips, especially after that frog. Feel free to put in a couple pillows underneath the thighs. Or, if it's not enough, he could rest the hands here like gravity. Do its work. Close the eyes, try to soften the shoulders in the jaw and everything. The last pose, what we're here for. We're here for another two minutes or so before we move into Shiva Sena. This is a great pose to only to finish opening up the hips and a really nice, restorative way, letting gravity kind of take over, but also to allowing the spine to rest comfortably in a neutral position. Make sure we keep those arches in the back. So important to have a nice, healthy lower back arch and a in the upper back arch, you know, just keeps our spine supported. And the worst thing that we have some straight spine. So we wanna make sure that we always keep these natural curves in the spine. Hopefully, is the hips start to release, so does the mind, so there's any attention that you might be carrying in the face the jaw as we work our way. Industry Bassem, I want you to start thinking about releasing all these tension points is starting, you know first, starting with the focus on the mind of allowing the mind to soften. This is usually by closing the eyes, letting the eyelids rest softly and soften the jaw. Ruv the tongue from the top of the mouth softened, the the tongue in the throat. At least the shoulders knows you're holding any tension there. The arms all the way down to the hands, the hands on the thighs or move them turned the palms up. It is nice to open up into the chest, creating little external rotation to the arms. The with the fingers, a little release. Blacks the lower back, the belly hips. Take a deep inhale. Keep inhaling nice and slow, filling up entirely into the belly and into the chest into the back. When you get to the top of the breath of one should just hold it for a few seconds without wanting to hold on to anything. Open the mouth and release. Let it all go do two more breaths like that. Slow, deep, inhale into the belly, into the chest, into the back, all the way to the top of the breath. When you get to the top, hold it just for a few. This intention of letting go open the mouth and exhaled out last one in hill, super deep into the belly, into the chest, into the back, into the top of the breath. Hold at least the legs of the corner of the corners of the mat so that your straightening the legs out give a little shake through the feet. Still holding the breath here, open the mouth and release. Exhale everything out. Finish out releasing the body by wiggling the toes and soften the feet. Check back through just to see if you're holding any intention anywhere. If you are release it, take a much time, as you need in Shiva's knows, really the attention of not holding on to anything just being completely free. Open. Thank you so much for allowing me to share my practice with you. I hope this practice left you feeling free and open and relaxed. No must a

This class was the gateway to yoga for me. I was surpriced to find something sport related in creative live - thanks for that! Because of the name "Desk Therapy" I gave the course a try and loved it. The first course was a tad fast and challenging at the beginning but that motivated me and showed me an other side of yoga which deleted all my prejudice. The obvious benefit of "Desk Therapy" was the stress relief after a work day sitting in front of the computer. Dylan is an excellent teacher with very good instructions and tips. Thank you!
