We’ll begin on the floor in child’s pose.
Stretch your arms in front of you,
and as you deepen the stretch,
reach, reach,
to grab your shoes.
Come into table top.
On your first cat/cow,
soften your gaze and bring it up
to the bathroom door.
Closed. He’s just started the shower.
Step or hop your feet up to a forward fold.
Put on your shoes.
We will now progress into the Warrior series.
Reach your right leg back and stretch your left
fingertips to come into Warrior One.
Reach those fingertips out
and scoop up your purse.
Extended side bend
to take your keys.
We are going to skip the floor routine for today,
leaving behind your dishes and toothbrush for now,
and move straight into our balance postures.
Left arm straight out,
right arm wraps around it
to bring your phone up to eye-level.
Read again your friend’s message.
Go now.
Spread the toes on your left foot
to create a strong foundation,
then interlace your fingers.
Type out Coming.
Right foot comes forward.
Then left foot.
On your own breath,
Open the door.
Walk out.
Release.
You leave
not with your heart,
but with your feet and friends.
The heart is fickle.
The body, trustworthy.
