loved this. so much good stuff in such a short space of time - perfect for mornings. though I couldn't repeat all the mantras, just hearing them helped me engage just a little more mindfully with the movements. many thanks Ali.
I really liked the use of mantra here, and very much appreciate the pdf file. One question came to mind: if one recites the mantra while doing the Namaskaram, that would mean one full breath cycle per movement, right? (breathing in, then reciting...)
Kate M great question! And yes! It’s a bit different from only utilizing an inhale or an exhale. Although I do find that I often move on the inhale for the expansive/lifting movements, and on the exhale for the contracting/anchoring movements. Ie, sometimes I speak and then move, sometimes I move and then speak. Thank you for bringing it up. 🙏🏽💛
