1. find a time and place when you will be undisturbed. lay out your mat

2. go slowly, standing in mountain pose, settling your roots into the soft ground

3. notice how your breath flows

4. let your exhalation drop down from your head to your roots so that your body springs upwards, very slightly, uncurling a little like a spring fern. slowly. your inhalation flows into your open body

5. move through a handful of your favourite postures watching your soft breath and sending down your roots each time you breathe out

7. come back tomorrow. it will be different

‘Learning to be sensitive to your needs in yoga is a wonderful adventure. Making the spontaneous changes to your daily practice that support your health and energy levels is a sensitivity to life that naturally develops. It is an embrace of your own life and energy, an energetic pleasure–“the only reason to do yoga!”‘
