Element sequence – Water

Feeling stuck, irritable and cranky? Tension building up? This sequence should help you to find ease in the body and calm the mind

Make sure you are hydrated, then start with a calming breath practice, feeling the breath flow into and out of your body with the inhale and exhale.

Then progress through the poses and movements, taking as long as you like on each one. The focus is on mobilising the spine and releasing tightness from the back, hips and shoulders. Water makes up some 60% of the body and keeping this in mind may help you to visualise your internal environment shifting and releasing, and areas of stagnation dissipating as you move.

At the end of the sequence, try practicing spinning with your eyes shut and cultivate a sense of lightness, ease and flow.
