what do hip openers have to do with mental clarity?  well, pretty much any yoga asana can get you there...but this practice in particular focuses on moving through challenging hip openers (plus, a few handstands) with calm, steady breathing as a way to get your mind into calm, powerful focus. also, you'll probably sleep good tonight.

in this episode we start with tension relief for hips, shoulders, neck and upper back. we pair those with core strengtheners to get you moving well from your center...why? to relieve the load on your neck and shoulders as you flow. speaking of flow...during the vinyasa, we focus on moving the arms through center, rather than swinging them into position, to achieve a more balanced, stress-free neck...

get ready to treat yourself well for the next hour. we'll start in any resting pose you like with three forms of breathing that help clear anxiety: 1. Third Eye Gaze -- closing your eyes and setting them to the spot at the very front of your forehead helps bring the mind in, out of overwhelm 2.
