Take the right like extended without the knees coming apart. If Tim get the knees together, move the left foot further away from your bottom team a little more. That's it. It actually makes it easier.

Lift your head and chest up and see if you can roll up. Reach towards the toes and roll back down. Hands on the mat and again, roll up. That's ago. Good, good, good. When they keep the knees together and roll down and one more time and roll up and roll down. Hands on the mat. Put the foot back down, squeeze the thighs and lift your other leg up and again, roll up and roll down and roll up and roll them. And one more time. Roll up, up, up, up and roll down. Oh, okay. Very good.

Put the foot back down. Check that your back is law. Bring both knees into your chest. Both knees come into the chest. Take both arms over your head so you reach them. Way Back. Lift both like straight up to the ceiling, pulling the stomach in. Take the legs on a diagonal away and see if you can come up up.

You can roll up and roll that good Megan and roll up and roll down. And one more time and row up. Up, up, up, and I rolled up. Pull the stomach in. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Bend the knees. Put the feet on the mat. Stretch. Arms out. Stretch your legs out. Give yourselves a nice reach, a nice long pool, long in the stomach, long in the legs, and then roll up to a sitting position or bend your knees and roll up if you need to. Very good. That's it. Have a look at where your feet up. Put your hands by your hips and popped your bottom forward.

So you are ready for seal. So with the legs, Ben, bring your hands into prayer. Lift your feet, wrap your hands underneath your ankles. Check that the shoulders are down, the feet are slightly higher than involved. That's it. And you push out a bit with the elbow. So the elbows push into the knees or the thighs, I should say, in the size of slightly. And so you have a lot of resistance. Now Clap your feet three times. Clap, clap, clap.

Roll back to your shoulders. Come up in balance. And again, clap, clap, clap, roll back and come up in balance. Very good. And one more time. Clap, clap, clap, roll back and come up in balance and put your feet down. Very, very good. Okay, now we've just, we started working on standing up. So just to refresh your memory, how, what are the mechanics about that? The very last time you, you go, clap, clap, clap. You roll back and you come up the last one, clap, clap, clap. You Roll Back, you cross your feet, you reach with the arms and then you come forward.

So does anybody want me to give them a hand? First of all? She's going yes. Yes. So if you don't feel you're ready to stand up, that's fine. Not to do it. You want to have a go? I'll give you a spot. You want to spot your, okay, so we'll do you know what we'll do with one at a time? You can get up on your own.

So we're going three more times and on the third one I'll help you up and then I'll have to get you up. So lift up the feet, pull the stomach in. This is just for fun and games. Clap three times. Clap, clap, clap back. You go and come back up balance and again, clap, clap, clap back. You go and come up. Third one. I'm helping you and you to wait, clap, clap, clap. Megan. You go for it and cross your feet and up you come again. I expected you to go for it. Okay. Have a go. One, two, three, back, arms.

Go back and good girl. Okay, let's have a go for you Wendy. Arms go back. Oh, I'll just go back and good. Tim, your turn. I'm like arms go back, arms go back. Arms go back. Reach for me. That's right. All right, so we're standing up. We dug their heels together, toes apart.

Pull the stomach up and lift the arms in front of you with the shoulders down and circle three times. Circle one, two, three. Reverse it. One, two, three. Now feel the lengths of the lower back link down and bring the arms down and lift the sternum up. So Megan, a little bit more length in the low. Yes, that's it. And then sweep your arms. Higher. Shoulders are down and three circles. Circle one, two, three, reverse two, three. Bring the arms down and lift the chest and broaden the shoulders. Now bring the arms all the way up so the shoulders may come up a little bit and then bring the arms forward. Pull the stomach in and slowly roll down.

Will then reaching long with the arms that the head hang and three circles here. Circle one, two, three. Reverse it. One, two, three, Nepal, the stomach way in and up. Hug the midline and unravel the spine and stack it up and row up. Lifting up in the powerhouse, lifting up in the waist, lifting up in the sternum. Reach with the fingers one more time. Bring the arms forward, drop your head and roll down.

Shoulders are relaxed. Head is hanging down like a dead weight, but the stomach is lifting way, way, way up. Three circles with the arm. Circle one, two, three. Reverse it. One, two, three. Now stay here from a check. The head is long. Check that the shoulders are relaxed. Check that the stomach is pulling up and as you start to come up, shift the weight forwards towards the toes. Yes Megan, keep your head down though. Head down, head down, head down, hips come forward and then feel the spine stacking up.

That's it. Sweep the arms forward and lift through the waist. Lift through the chest, out of the hips and float the arms out to the side like getting taller and longer up through the crown of the head and let the arms hang in. Just take a moment. You want to feel the shoulders long and why the chest gently lifted the upper body resting on the powerhouse. That's kind of your connection between upper and lower body.

The hips along everything is nice and long. Take a deep breath in and breathing out. Let it go. So thank you. You all did really, really well. Now just as a little note, the routine that you have learned over these last, um, 10 lessons when you really memorize it, you take, can be done in about 20 minutes. It doesn't, you know, we've been working much more slowly with a lot of detail and that is your foundation work. But once you know the routine and you're confident and you can, you don't need brakes or detail, it takes about 20 minutes. And I have a lot of students who have learned it and love it cause it's kind of their little to stay feeling good in their own body. They travel a lot, they don't have time to go to classes, they roll out of a hotel bed, get on the floor, do their 20 minutes in, they're set for the day. So it's really a lovely little gem of a technique to keep yourself integrated, flexible, strong, coordinated, and really organized at your own level in your own body. So thank you all. You've been a real pleasure working with you.
