Day 4: Vata Flow

Keep the Vata grounded by remaining close to the floor throughout this flow. In Day 4, welcome a heavy, rooted feeling in seated meditation, then use the blocks to increase range of motion, coordination, and strength in the shoulders and arms. We work into the core, glutes, side body, and legs, then Melina offers a spicer play into Crow Pose, followed by some gentle back bending. We close in a seated Pranayama practice focusing on deeper, slower breaths, and meditate on gratitude.

Your Self Care Homework Challenge for Day 4:

• Creativity: Layer in some creative time in the late afternoon to feel more joyful, balanced, and nourished.
• Tea Time: Enjoy a ginger, ashwagandha, or turmeric tea to warm the body, decrease inflammation, and calm the nervous system as we transition toward evening.
