Reach way up to that ankle if you can, sorry, and get that deep scoop. Scoop for four. Tommy's pulling shoulders dropped. Six. One more sec. Hence scoop and scoop. Scoop drew up your heads for just a moment. Put your hands behind your heads, lift your heads again and begin to lower and lift the legs just a little bit and then come up about three to four inches. But get that sternum up.

Don't let your sternum drop. No arching in the back. Go all the way down to none at Mat. Tap the heels and come back up one. If you feel like your backs are strong enough to one more time down and right back up. Chris crossed to finish and one, tap the elbow on the knee. So really get that shoulder off the mat and soften those feet. Three watching your center for making sure those hips aren't rolling.

See Curve, take it back, control it, going back so you don't lose it. [inaudible] reach for the toes. It'll lift your backs. Last one. So you can take it back. You might lose your toes there and then you get them again.

And then you lift and hold and walked out of your legs for your corkscrew. So your legs stay up as you walked down 90 degrees with the legs. Hands at your side. Begin to circle. Go right into a jack. And I say you go down. Oh, rounded up and then control the movement going down and around. Does it have to be too big? That's it. Just careful again with the next, you know what? Your next to pop up. Good. So it's very controlled.

Especially coming down as well, Huh? And it could just be the first four vertebra off the mat unless you want to go all the way up there. Last one. Don't let the heel shift and go ahead and sit up for your saws. Once again, the legs are apart a little bit wider than the mat. Feet are flexed, sitting tall. You're going to turn reach for your baby toe, nose on the knee. Now take advantage of the stretch. It feels so good.

Sit on that left hip though. And then come back up and center out and turn feed. Stay still. You don't want them shifting so those hipbones don't move. They stay very still. End Up in the center. Enter and reach and up and center and last one, turn and stretch. Lots of energy out of the heels up and center.

Flip over to your stomachs for your neck. Roll all. All right, so you're going to push into your palms. Come up off of your chest, lifting that powerhouse theater together. Look to the right, roll your heads down. Look left. Look, center. Look left down around to the right look center. Lie Back Down. Next, I'm going to have you guys go into your swan dive, both familiar with this. You're going to push into your palms, come up off of your chest, and then you're gonna fall. Legs come up, palms come up. So literally falling and try to keep those heels together. One, not pushing up with the hands at all, so just rocking on your tummy. That's it. And three and four. Careful not just lift with your heads by, and that's enough. Sit on your heels and stretch back.

All right, just relax for a moment. Good. All right, you're going to lie back onto your stomach's getting into that Sphinx position. Ready for your single leg kicks are up on those elbows.

Stretch back and switched cheeks and one, two, three end stretch. Last one and one, two, three and stretch and enough sit back on your heels. Once again, stretch back. It should be warmed up now. Okay, I'm going to have you guys flip over so you're back on your backs.

You're going to lie down, hands behind your head, going into your neck, pool. Both legs are straight, both feet are flex, but only hip with the parts that bring your feet in just a little bit. Okay, so just like your roll up, all about that articulation. So no lurching up, no momentum, nice deep breath in. Begin to come up. Really peel off that met, stretch over to the knees and then articulate to come back up, sitting tall and then articulate to go back down. So don't hinge just yet coming. Keep those feet flex and now around, over all the way. Sit Up Tall, both feet still flexed and then round back down.

Then we're going to add the hinge. So now you round up, round over, up too wide with your feet only bone apart. And uh, stay tall. Stay tall as long as you can. And when you can't stay tall anymore, start to curl back down. Articulating in lower back, middle back, upper back more and up and over. Sit up tall. Careful with your feet. Bring them in a bit. And, and, and, and tuck under last one and round over to the knees right away instead of tall and hinge. Hinge with those ribs together. That will help and curl back down. Add enough. All right, let's go ahead and have you guys go into your jackknife. So yeah, or actually, no, let me have it go into your scissors. So your feet are on the mat about hip width apart.

Do you guys know how to get into position here? You've got to lift your bottoms up so your knees are bent, lift up, and then you have to actually hold underneath your hips. I'm going to lose everything here, but the whoa. And then you're going to bring both knees in and then you're gonna take one leg out. And this is a bicycle. Let's do bicycle. You can do scissors after that, right?

And then reverse, when you go down with the leg, you want to go down as low as you kind of really stretch the leg out long and reach out long and up. That's it. I know both knees in. Take your leg straight up. Now go ahead and go. Scissors. So one leg goes down and pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse. As you're pulsing, squeeze your bottoms and really lift those hips, I'll suppose. And pulse, pulse. Last one. Pulse, pulse and enough roll down. Uh Huh.

And then you can go into his shoulder bridge here. So you're going to curl your hips up like pelvic lift. [inaudible] you'll bring your right knee into your chest. You take that right leg straight up and you want to think of it lengthening without your hips moving. Start to reach that leg out long. Keep those hips lifted and then give me your heel on the mat.

Slide back to your, onto the floor, sorry. And then left knee. And so you're just coming back to position. Take the left leg up. Keep your knee lined up with your hip and reach the left leg out long those hip stays still reached and skim the heel on the mat. Back to position. One last time. Both right leg first. Take it up.

like like like!!!!
Decent workout, but out of classical sequence. The teacher was not very good; couldn't keep track of what positions to be in. Low energy, but the tempo was good.
A good workout in 30 minutes. Nice tempo....I had a high heart rate afterwards, and that is what makes me feel like I got a good workout! Thanks.
I think Adrianne was very pleasant to listen to and I thought the pace was appropriate for a 2/3 class. Thanks!
I absolutely LOVED this workout! Great tempo and just the right challenge.
