 Hello earth citizens! In this video I will show you a 10 minute routine to do total body joint rotation. There are 18 major joints in our body including shoulders, elbows, wrists, hip joints, knees, ankles. So this simple routine will help you rotate and circulate energy and fluids and all that good stuff, blood, all of that in all of your joints. So first I will show you how to do it but this exercise is called plate balancing exercise because you have to imagine you are holding a plate and you can't drop the plate. I'll explain to you a little bit further. First take your right foot out, left foot back and left hand behind you. Extend your right hand palm up and imagine a plate on that hand. What's your favorite food? Imagine a plate of your favorite food sitting on your right palm. So now don't drop this plate because if you drop it you can't eat it. So with that in mind first bend your right knee forward and then twist your waist to the side and now rotate your elbows so your arm comes behind you. Again look I'm not dropping the plate and now rotate this up over your head and around and at this point extend yourself back and then come all the way around and forward. So you see how it's rotating your hips, elbows, wrists, hips again knees and all the way around your ankles as well. So this is really great if you have joint pain and poor circulation. So we're going to do this side 10 times and we're going to switch the direction 10 times switch hands 10 times other direction 10 times and then we're going to do both hands up and the other way around. All right so by the end of this if you're sweating you did a great job. All right so still right hand forward twist your waist rotate your elbows lean back that's one bend your knee forward twist your waist rotate your elbows two here's three rotate back bend your knees rotate your waist twist your elbows bring it in front of your face that's four let's do five great job now we're going to go the other way so the other way is a little bit trickier the other way you start at the top you rotate this way and make an S. So you start at the top and just remember don't drop your plate so move your body in a way that helps you keep your palm facing up so start from the top go towards your face in front so you're making a big figure eight okay are you ready start from the top come towards your face make an S shape to the back that's one start from the top S shape towards your face forward two start from the top S shape towards your face three S shape towards your face and down back that's four rotate like this five draw send back and forward six up towards your face come down in an S to the back and forward seven eight up towards your face come in an S shape towards the back and nine one more great job now return feel your right shoulder compared to your left shoulder can you feel a difference right side of your body compared to the left side of your body my right side feels loose while my left side feels a little stiff so if you're like me let's balance the body switch hands transfer your food to your left palm bring your left foot forward right leg back and we're gonna do the same thing come forward bend your waist elbows and rotate lean back in lean forward rotate your waist inward now rotate your elbows extending your hand back and around towards your face and back around you have it that's two lean forward rotate your waist elbow lean back swing your arm towards your face three don't drop your plates all right one more thing please breathe don't hold your breath breathe out okay lean forward rotate in lean back that's four we'll say that's four forward lean forward rotate in six forward so start from face towards the back that's two this one's a little trickier if it's not your dominant hand but don't worry just do your best and feel your body that's the important part are you ready start from top go to the back in front of your face and around one are you ready so for both hands you start with your legs together now because you did such a good job your favorite food doubled so now you have two plates of your favorite food so first you're gonna stretch out in front of you and rotate your elbows inward and extend your arms back keep your plate up upright so you're kind of like an eagle diving and then now bring your palms stand your arms back like an eagle direction so other direction remember how we started at the top same thing other way is like this you start here and then you come around so you go the complete opposite direction start up make like an x behind your head come down into an eagle posture like let's do four more behind cross the back don't worry if you can't get it the first time just do your best back cross to cross in front like an eagle and forward cross in front back like an eagle your joints feel especially in your shoulders do you feel lighter do you feel heat do you feel saliva in your mouth these are all signs of energy circulation you did a great job to experience a full one hour brain education based class please visit a local body and brain yoga studio near you
