Sequence

Introducing basic movement patterns into everyday life.

1. SQUAT! Anywhere and everywhere. Work towards making this a position to rest in. Practice makes perfect!  

2. Take the stairs...but don't just walk up them find as many different ways to ascend and desend as you can. Two steps at a time, on your hands and knees, sideways, hoping...

3. See how long you can hold your breath underwater in the bath.

4. Hang! From anything. This is a current favorite of mine...

5. Run for the bus, even if you know you will probably miss it.

6. Get of the tube/bus/horse a stop or two early and enjoy the walk. Infact walk as much as you can. This is another favorite of mine, I've discovered all sorts of hidden treasures on my walks round London and it actually doesn't rain that much...

7. Pay attention to the movements you repeat most in your day and work on ways to make them more efficient in your yoga practice.

8. And then use your yoga practice to include the movements that your daily life lacks.

9. Massage your feet.

10. PLAY!!!!
