 Hello Earth citizens. In this video, I'm going to show you a 10 minute routine to jumpstart your day. I know myself included, it's not always easy to wake up and have all this energy, especially in the morning. So try this exercise if you're someone who has a little bit of a later start, harder time to get the energy going at the beginning of the day. Alright, so we're going to start with our feet shoulder-width apart and let's first loosen up our spine. So go ahead and twist your spine. First, look at your heels. This will loosen up your lower back. Look at your heels, let your arms completely relax and just swing. And breathe naturally and now to the middle of your chest. Look at your fingertips. This engages your middle back. Open up your middle back right behind your heart area. And here if you feel stuffy, please breathe out. And now up overhead, look at your fingertips here too. You will feel it in your upper back and shoulders. Can you feel your shoulders? I love my shoulders. Back towards the middle and slowly bring your arms downward. Coming back to center. Bring your palms facing upward. Take a deep breath in as if you are drinking oxygen into your nose. And breathe out through your mouth. Push down all the heavy energy to the ground. One more time. Breathe in and breathe out. Now clasp your hands and stretch up. Stretch your arms up so your elbows are straight. Not like this, but straight as if you're Elonged. Stretch up, up, up. Two, one. Now stay up onto our heels on our toes. So lift your heels and stand on your toes. Elongate yourself a little bit more. Five seconds. Five, to the right side. Look up at the ceiling. Feel the stretch. This opens your lungs to get oxygen flowing through your body. Your body wakes up when you have oxygen flowing in your body. Five, four, two, one. Great job. Now other side. Look up at the ceiling. You might feel some stiffness, some tension. It's okay. Just breathe. How about anything? Just feel the stretch. Five, keep your back as flat as you can. So like this. As flat as you can. Puttling your tailbone back. Stretch your spine. Do a little shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. Great job. Now 45 degrees downward. Feel your spine. The key to waking up your body is loosening up the tension in your spine. And now come down to the center. Touch the floor. If you need to open your legs more, please do so. Touch the floor or keep your head forward. Keep your head forward and rock forward and back. Forward and back. Feel the stretch in the back of your legs and your butt going all the way to your back. And your head. Great job. Stop. Now hold your elbows. Drop your head and rock side to side. You will feel the stretch in the inside of your thighs, inside of your legs. Great job. Return to center. Now walk your hands to your left ankle. Hold your left ankle. Drop your head. Feel the stretch in your leg. Breathe here naturally. And imagine pushing from the bottom of your feet. Great job. Shake it out. Shake, shake, shake. And twist your waist. Now we're going to wake our body up a little bit more by tapping the chest. It's very important to... there's two things, actually, to waking your body up. If you feel constant fatigue, check two things in your body. One, am I circulating oxygen in my body? In other words, am I breathing properly? Or two, is my spine straight? Is my spine tight or loose? If your spine is tight, you will feel a lot of fatigue. So now that we loosened up our body, let's tap our chest. Tap, tap deep into your lungs. Tap your shoulder. It might be your shoulders. It might be your chest. Like you're dusting your brain from yesterday's stress, starting the day with a new blank slate. Ten seconds more. Ten, eight, seven, six, five, six, seven, eight. Great job. Do you feel more refreshed? Do you feel energy circulating in your body? To experience a full one-hour brain education-based class, please visit a local body and brain yoga studio near you.
