Start Strong: Foundations to Feel Safe and Centered

Let your breath lead every movement. Try slow, steady nasal breathing to soften shoulders and lengthen your exhale. When breath stays calm, your body learns safety, balance improves naturally, and tension releases without force. Tell us how this felt.

Downward-Facing Dog: A Gentle Inversion for Everyday Resilience

Start on hands and knees, wrists under shoulders, knees under hips. Spread fingers wide, press through knuckles, and curl toes. Lift hips up and back, bending knees generously. Lengthen your spine first, then gradually straighten legs only if it feels kind.

Find Your Feet, Find Your Focus

From Low Lunge, root your front heel and step your back foot slightly wider for a stable track. Turn your back toes diagonally. Press evenly through both feet. Gaze soft. Share whether widening your stance created instant steadiness.

Square Hips with Breath, Not Force

As you inhale, lengthen your spine. As you exhale, gently guide your back hip forward and front hip back. Lift arms only if your ribs stay soft. Stability before height. What subtle shift helped your hips feel more cooperative today?

Plank with Integrity, Not Ego

From hands and knees, step back into Plank. Press the floor away, broaden your upper back, and hug your belly in gently. Keep hips in line with shoulders. Hold three to five breaths only. Share when you chose to exit before form wobbled.

Knees–Chest–Chin as a Friendly Transition

Lower knees first, then keep hips lifted as chest and chin touch lightly. Elbows hug in, shoulders away from ears. Slide forward to Cobra. This pathway builds control and spares shoulders. Tell us if this felt kinder than forcing a low push-up.

Wrist and Shoulder Care Wins the Long Game

Warm wrists with circles, then spread fingers and grip lightly with fingertips. Keep elbows tracking back, not flaring. If shoulders fatigue, switch to Forearm Plank. Comment with your favorite recovery move so other newcomers learn your go-to reset.
