Oh, the Weather Outside is FRIGHTFUL!

 "Oh, the weather outside is FRIGHTFUL!"☔
"But the fire is so delightful!"πŸ”₯

And since we've no place to go . . . do some yoga, do some yoga, do some yoga!🎢🧘

Here's a series of seated movements to put sunshine in your heart on a rainy day:🌞
 Begin sitting tall, feet connected to the floor.  Press the hands together, thumbs to your heart.  Breathe in and out right here.
Reach the hands high on the breath in.

 On the breath out, place your hands on your thighs.
 On the next breath in, reach hands forward . . .
 then on the breath out, fold your body, and reach to the floor.  Let your head be heavy, shake it "yes" and "no" to be sure you are not holding on to any tension or tightness in the neck and shoulders!
 On the next breath in, reach one hand high and press the other one into the floor.  You can pile some books on the floor if you need the floor to be a little higher for your stretch.πŸ“š
 On the breath out, hands reach back to the floor, and then, breath in, reach the opposite hands high and low.
 Exhale reach back to the floor, then squeeze the tummy, and with a big breath in, reach up and out and high overhead .
Exhale hands to prayer position.  Breathe in and out.  You're ready to go for another round!  Three rounds is a great start.🌞🌞🌞  This sequence is called a seated sun salutation.  I learned this version from Desktop Yoga by Julie Lusk.  These movements energize your body and are good for your lungs, digestive system, and joints.  You also lengthen and tone muscles, and have the opportunity for a moving meditation (like walking).  #rainydayfun #zipaDeeBee #dosomeyoga #dosomeyoga #dosomeyoga
