This is every pose in the Journey Into Power sequence. This recording only names the pose for a seamless, one breath, one movement flow. There are minimal breath cues, few instructions, and no transitions. If you are in teacher training, use this as a training guide to say the name of the pose and memorize the sequence. Enjoy!

I understood the intention around it. I get what she was trying to say (perhaps) but it came out in such a way that was kinda triggering. I think what she wanted was for us to be mindful. To pay attention to what we were doing, especially if we started to get fatigued. But here’s how it came out… Yoga teacher: “And even if we take crescent lunge a hundred times, do it perfectly every time.” 😬 A guy in the class actually laughed out loud when she said it. 😂 This brought back old memories of a time where I was so determined to nail a pose perfectly that I ended up hurting myself—physically and emotionally. For instance, I wanted to nail wheel pose so badly, because I thought not being able to do it meant something about me. If there’s one word I do not like to hear in my yoga class, it’s the “p” word—perfect. I am a recovering perfectionist. Hearing that I’m supposed to do it perfectly every time is a recipe for absolute disaster. I cannot not—no, will not—do it perfectly every time. I have practiced my @$$ off to get better at not being a perfectionist. Sometimes, I have to work at not doing imperfect perfectly. It gets kind of meta—and I don’t mean Facebook. Lol Maybe you can relate—I need to throw perfect out the window. Rather than focusing on any form of perfection, I’m reaching for mindfulness. Mindfulness requires my awareness, focus, and attention to the present moment. When I’m practicing being mindful, I can be more accepting of my thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present moment. I will take mindfulness over perfection any day. If I’m being mindful, then I can feel when I’m fatigued and take a rest, rather than drilling through it because I want to be perfect. Do you see the distinction? Some could argue that striving for perfection is a way to improve and grow. While improvement may be desirable, it’s important to remember that yoga is a personal journey, and growth comes from self-awareness and self-compassion, not from chasing an unattainable standard. This week’s episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Kari is a 15 minute mindfulness meditation. In mindfulness meditation we are sitting in the simplicity of the present moment. In this meditation the focus is on your breath, hands, feet, and the crown of your head. Mindfulness meditation is a way to interact with yourself in the present moment through anchors like the breath and bodily sensation. While simple, these are powerful tools for getting the mind and the body in the same place at the same time—they are happening right now. I do not assume malice on the part of the yoga teacher this week. I think what she really wanted was for us to pay attention. Asking students to pay attention feels a little less severe than asking for perfection. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Have you ever felt pressure to be perfect in your yoga practice or in other areas of your life? How do you approach mindfulness in your daily routine?

Thank you for listening to Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Kari. I hope you find these practices fun and useful to your yoga practice. I put a lot of love into creating this content for you every week. Please consider joining my Patreon. Making a monthly contribution to my Patreon will ensure that I continue producing these high quality recordings every week just for you. Plus, if you join my Patreon, I will include extra bonus content like weekly meditations. Longer practice recordings and special surprises just for Patreon members. Your support means the world to me. Alright, sweet friend. Practice on. Hello my friend. Let's meditate. Start by finding a comfortable seat, something underneath you like blocks, [00:01:00] bolster, a meditation cushion, or even a pillow. To create a little height so that your hips are a little bit higher than your knees. Find a comfortable resting position for your hands. That could be palms face down, palms face up, or even one hand resting inside of the other with your thumb tips touching. Lift your shoulders up to your ears. Roll them down your back and lift the crown of your head up towards the ceiling. If it's comfortable to you, close your eyes or find a gentle resting position where you can set soft gaze.[00:02:00] Start by noticing the sound of your breath, even if there are other sounds happening around you. Identify your sound. This sound may be undetectable to others, but to you, it is the sound of your life moving in and out of your body. Notice the [00:03:00] effortlessness of the breath flowing in and out. Now bring your attention to the sensation of breath. Notice the way it feels when the breath first enters the nostrils, the cool burst of air. When it enters your nose,[00:04:00] notice how the breath feels as it moves into your nasal cavity, down your throat. And fills your lungs and your belly. Notice the sensation of the rise and fall of your belly and chest. And then notice the way the breath feels when it leaves the body[00:05:00] as the chest and belly compress. The air moves through your throat, out of your nasal cavity, and exits through your nose with a warm, slow exit. Just continue to notice these sensations. And now bring your attention to your [00:06:00] hands. Notice the weight of your hands as they rest on your legs. Notice the sensations that you feel or don't. Notice if there's any temperature, cool or warm, possibly neutral.[00:07:00] Notice your thumbs. Four fingers, middle fingers, ring fingers, and your pinky fingers. Notice the palms of your hands and the backs of your hands. And then notice your feet,[00:08:00] the weight of your feet. Notice the points of contact between your feet and the floor, or any other parts of your body or your feet are touching. Notice any sensations. Notice the temperature. Notice your [00:09:00] big toes. Second toe, third toe, fourth toes in your pinky toes. The soul of your foot and the tops your feet. Now bring your attention to the crown of your head. Lift the crown of your head a little bit taller.[00:10:00] Notice any sensations or tingling at the crown of your head. Or maybe not, but either way, place your attention there. And then bring your awareness back to your breath. The gentle rise and fall[00:11:00] stay anchored into the physical sensation of your breath. Hands your feet, the crown of your head. Notice the way the breath moves effortlessly in and out.[00:12:00] We'll spend two minutes. And silence together.[00:13:00] Long, full, intentional breathing, and slowly [00:14:00] empty it. Drop your chin to your chest and take some neck rolls. Gently move your head from side to side. Reach your arms up overhead, interlace all 10 fingers. Flip your palms to the ceiling and ground into your sitting bones now, then bring your hands to your knees or the floor right in front of you. Take a couple cat cows just from your seat. Roll your chest and shoulders front to back, break up any tension,[00:15:00] and then come to a neutral seat with your palms touching at the center of your chest. Take this final moment of your practice. Notice how you feel. You don't have to call it anything or name it. Just notice. Bring your thumbs to the center of your forehead. Bow your head towards your heart in honor of you and me in this practice that we share. I bow to you my friend and [00:16:00] say namaste.. Thank you for practicing with me today. I hope you enjoyed it. Please consider joining my Patreon. You can find the link in the show notes.…

One morning you're feeling like a well-oiled machine, and the next, you've got a thumb that's staging a protest. Body’s are weird, right? Like, majestic, necessary, and strange. As my wise mentor once said, we're all just meat wads on this dirt ball, trying to make sense of it all! 🤷‍♀️ That’s how I felt this week when I woke up with my hand hurting. It wasn’t even the whole hand. It was my thumb knuckle down to my wrist. The other four fingers were fine, but my thumb was throbbing. This week, my rebellious thumb decided to take center stage, refusing to grip or bear weight without causing me a world of hurt. But hey, I'm nothing if not adaptable! Introducing this week's episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Kari: Hand's Free Yoga! This collection of YouTube yoga practices is designed for all of life's weird and unpredictable moments, giving you a little bit of something for everything. One thing I’ve stopped teaching in the last year is to “stack your shoulder over your wrist.” This is something you commonly hear taught in yoga classes. When you stack your shoulder over your wrist, your wrist is at a full 90 degree angle, and that’s a ton of pressure on the wrist joint. If you place your hands just a bit in front of your shoulders, it removes some of this pressure. For me, that feels a lot better. Next time you’re in a plank or table top position, see how that feels for you. Anyway, the pain in my thumb went away after like three days, but they were a miserable three days. I struggled to unzip anything, and couldn’t get a grip if my life depended on it. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere. 😂 I hope you find this practice useful. Even if your hand isn’t hurting, you can give it a try and see how it feels for you. It’s good to know what’s possible before we need it so we can create variety when we do need it. This 15 minute practice requires zero planking or down dogging. Those poses can place a lot of pressure in the wrists and hands. If you’re curious about taking a longer class with me, I teach several live classes every week. Classes are recorded and put into a library. So, if live classes aren't your thing, you can take the class anytime you like. If you ever wake up with any phantom pains and need some help with how you can adjust your yoga practice accordingly, feel free to message me anytime. I would love to help you troubleshoot your body. Afterall, we’re just meat wads on the dirt ball trying to get a grip, right? 😂 I’m here if you need me. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Bring the souls of your feet to touch. Let your knees fall open and rest your hands on your belly. Just notice you're breathing. Happy baby. Reach for the pinky toe edges of your feet.

Hug your knees to your chest and pull yourself in tight, and then make your way into Savasana. Come to lie down on your back. If it doesn't feel good to lie on your [00:14:00] back, you can roll over to your side or find a resting pose that will just give you a couple of minutes to relax. We won't be here for long, but just long enough to appreciate a moment of stillness. Take a long, full, deep breath in[00:15:00] and slowly empty it. Wiggle your fingers and your toes. Circle your ankles and your wrists. Reach your arms overhead for a full body stretch and point your toes. Pull your knees to your chest, and if it's comfortable to you, roll over to your favorite side and then gently. Make your way up to a seat. Bring your palms to touch at the center of your chest. Pause here a moment. Notice how you feel. You don't have to call it anything or name it. Noticing is enough. And then bring your thumbs to the center of your forehead. [00:16:00] Bow your head towards your heart, in honor of you and me and this practice that we share. I'm bow to you, my friend and say namaste. Thank you for practicing with me today. I hope you enjoyed it. Please consider joining my Patreon. You can find the link in the show notes.…

It was 💯 percent binge worthy TV. It starred Ali Wong and was the perfect combination of should I laugh or cry right now. I absolutely loved it and I highly recommend it. The show is about two people who get into a road rage incident that turns into a full-blown obsession. It’s kinda wild. In truth, I’m the person that will spend more time trying to decide what to watch rather than actually watching a show. Being bogged down with a million choices overwhelms me and puts me into decision paralysis. Sometimes Netflix feels like actual hell. Maybe you can relate, {{ subscriber.first_name }} —I love when people make recommendations because at least it’s vetted. Somebody found this show worth watching, and so I can relax into my decision. Until, of course, the show is over and then I have to start the process all over again. 🤦‍♀️ The same is true for me when I’m trying to decide on a yoga class. Whether it’s staring blankly at a live class schedule or trying to decide on a class to take from a video-on-demand service, I become overwhelmed by all the choices. What if I don’t like the teacher or the style? What if I get halfway in and the class is too hard or easy? These are things that can take me out of the moment when I’m practicing, especially with a new teacher. This is what I appreciate about being a one woman (& Katie!) show. If you like my teaching and style then it removes the friction. It takes the guesswork out of the equation so you can relax into the experience knowing you have a teacher that has your back (and your hamstrings and your tight shoulders). You have the option of attending live or on-demand classes. The only decision you really need to make is when will I take this class? In this week’s episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga with Kari podcast— I’m offering you a full length class! Rather than talking about how great it is, I’d rather show you. This is a 60 minute class with about 8 minutes of seated meditation at the end. It’s powerful, and might get you a little sweaty, but you’ll feel focused and calm. If you enjoy this class, consider there’s a whole library of classes just waiting for you! Every class is different, but the important parts remain consistent—the quality of instruction, the clarity of my speaking, and plenty of choices for you to scale the intensity up or down depending on how you feel that day. With five live classes a week, plus a full library of on-demand classes, that’s like the Netflix equivalent of Downton Abbey—you’ll be set for awhile. If you're curious about taking a live class with me, here’s one for free! Click this button and we’ll get you into a live class ASAP. Heck, yes I want a free class, Kari! If nothing else, take my Netflix recommendation and add it to your queue. You can’t go wrong with Ali Wong (I didn’t exactly mean for that to rhyme, 😂 but that’s where we are today!)

Your support means the world to me. All right, sweet friend, practice on. So wonderful to be here with you today. Let's get started in child's pose. Make your way to your mat. And you can open your knees or keep them closer [00:01:00] together or find something in between that feels comfortable to you. Child's pose isn't comfortable for everyone, so find your way into a pose that works. It might include something under your forehead, like a block or stacked hands. So take a moment to settle yourself into the pose and then find your breath. And by find your breath, I mean make conscious contact with your breath. Become aware on purpose that you are breathing. And then take a moment to notice how you feel [00:02:00] physically, emotionally, mentally. Just a little check in. How am I feeling today? Spread your fingers out. Press your palms down and find a little engagement by drawing your belly into your spine. Doesn't have to be much, but just a little. Pull in, hug in action, and then walk your hands over to the right side of your. Stretch your left fingers forward and lengthen from your left fingers all the way through your left hip, and then come back to the center. Walk your hands over to [00:03:00] the left. Stretch your right fingers forward and lengthen from fingers to hip. And then come back to the center. Shift forward to a tabletop position. Start by dropping your belly and lifting the center of your chest. This is cow pose. Take a full round of breath here in and out, and then push the floor away, round your upper back cat pose. Stay here for a full round of breath in. And out and now start to move your body through some rounds of cat and cow moving your body with your breath in any way that you see fit. This could be side to side circles with your neck and your tailbone [00:04:00] invite in creativity to your movement, where the movement really becomes an expression of you, of what you need to have happen for yourself today. This is your practice and there is no cookie cutter practice. What I love about practicing yoga is that we get to be who we are today, not yesterday, not who we might be tomorrow, but what is true for you. You can try turning your fingers to face your knees or a different hand position. I like the forearms. That's another thing that you can do to experiment with sensation is placing your hands in different locations to see what happens. To be curious about what becomes possible. The mat is a place where [00:05:00] we can begin to experiment with possibility. What happens if, what happens if I move my hands? What happens if I straighten my leg? What happens if I open my knees wider? There just brings in this space for possibility. Come back to neutral. Reach your right hand to the sky. Right hand to the sky. Take a little twist and open up and then thread the needle. Thread your right arm underneath your left arm. Bring your right ear to either the floor or a block if it feels like a strain. To reach the floor, put a block underneath your ear and then see how it feels to slide your left hand forward. Now you can keep your fingers tinted if that feels more stable. Now you can stay [00:06:00] here. Great place to stay, or you can pull your left fingertips back in front of your face, shift the weight into your right knee and straighten your left leg. Start there and then if you want a little more, float your left leg off the floor and play with your balance a little bit and just see what's possible. You're already so close to the floor. If you fall, you just roll. And then set your foot down. Pull your knee in, sweep your right arm. Back up. Look at your fingers and linger for a moment. Cat cow. And then we'll take the other side. Stretch your left fingers to the sky. Start here by pressing your right hand down, lifting your left hand up and twisting your chest open. And now thread the needle. Left arm comes under right. Your ear comes to the floor or a block [00:07:00] and you can try sliding your right hand forward. See how that feels. And you could stay here. Good place to stay. Or you can pull your fingers back in front of your face. Shift the weight into your left knee. Start by straightening your right leg and putting your toes on the floor. Now if you're ready to play a little further, you can float your foot up and play with balance. Keep pushing through your extended heel so you're creating an active right foot. And then set your foot down. Pull your knee in, sweep your left arm up. Linger here a moment, cat cow. Place your hand down, move your spine, and then meet me in downward facing dog. After you finish that round of cat cow, lift your tailbone to the sky and start by walking your dog [00:08:00] out. Pedal your legs, shift your weight, sway your hips. Welcome yourself back to Downward Dog. This is a pose that we take frequently, and so finding a sustainable downward dog, something you can return to over and over. So that might require wider hands and feet, maybe a shorter stance. Again, what happens if is the question, straighten your right leg behind you. Bring your heel to your bum cheek and open up your hip Stack right hip on top of left. Point your foot. Flex your foot. Circle your ankle, the knee or the hip. Take any movement on that right leg that feels good. Make your way to three-legged dogs. Straighten your legs all five toes. Point down. Pull your knee to your chest. Hug into center line and squeeze. [00:09:00] Set your foot back down. Take your left leg behind you. Bring your heel to your bum cheek. Open up your hip flex point circle. Make any movement at the joints. That feels good. Straighten your leg. Three-legged dog, knee to chest. Hug it in and squeeze. Set your foot down. Pick your heels up, bend your knees. Look forward. Step to the top of your mat. Halfway lift. Pause here a moment. Palms to shins. Draw your shoulder blades into your spine. Stretch the crown of your head. Forward in the opposite direction. As your tailbone, take a breath in. Rag doll. Fold over your thighs. Catch your elbows and open up your feet. Pick up all 10 toes. Spread your toes out. Stretch the skin on the bottoms of your feet and maybe rock from side to [00:10:00] side. Sway. Shift the weight from one foot into the other. Play with your equilibrium. Play with your center of gravity. Allow the weight of your head and your arms to remain a passive stretch so that you're creating some opening in the backside of your body. Release your elbows. Bring your hands to your hips. Press into your feet. Stand up. Reach your arms over your head. Make loose fists with your hands and circle your wrists in one direction, and then the opposite direction. Now interlace all 10 of your fingers. Flip your palms to the ceiling, press into your feet and push your palms up to the.[00:11:00] And then bring your hands to touch at the center of your chest. Plug your thumbs right into the center of your chest, right into your sternum. Make a kinesthetic connection with yourself. And then let's join our voices together in the sound of Om. Take a breath in. Oh, soften at your knees. Press your heels down, reach up. Mountain pose, bow forward. Exhale, soften at the knees. On your way down. Let your head fall. Palms to shins. Stretch the crown of your head forward. Downward facing dog. Plant your hands. Walk your [00:12:00] feet straight to the back of your mat. Set your eyes between your toes and keep that softness in your knees. Take a breath, pick your heels up, bend your knees. Look forward. Step to the top of your mat. Halfway lift.

Come to all fours. Stand up on your knees. Bring your hands to your hips. Start by taking a breath to lift the front side of your body and then slowly lift your pelvis forward. Keep drawing your shoulder blades into your spine just like you've been practicing. In halfway lift. Integrate your shoulders to the. With an inhale, come back up. Plant your hands hovering tabletop. Tuck your toes under your heels and hover your knees and shins. [00:14:00] Just a couple inches off the mat. You're here for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 down dog. Push the floor away. Take a breath. Pick your heels up, bend your knees. Look forward. Travel to the top of your mat. Halfway. Lift shoulders in. Bow forward. Stand up tall mountain pose. Palms touch at the center of your chest.

Keep that shoulder integration plank pose. Plant your hands. Keep drawing your shoulder blades into your spine. You're creating neutral.

Lift your chest downward facing dog tailbone [00:16:00] to the sky. Eyes between your toes. Take a breath. Pick your heels up. Bend your knees. Look forward. Travel to the top halfway. Lift shoulders in. Bow forward mountain pose. Stand up tall. Palms touch at your chest. Pause arms. Reach up. Breath in. Chair pose. Lower your booty towards the floor. Bend your knees, take space between your feet. Your big toes could touch. Or maybe they don't. There is no compulsion to have your toes touching. It's really about creating a sustainable base with your feet, press your heels down, lift your toes up, and spread your toes out. And you can keep your toes lifted or gently, lightly rest them on the floor. But the weight is in the the balls of your feet and your heels. Now stretch your fingers up. [00:17:00] Hug your belly in for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Bow forward. Nice work. Halfway lift. Shoulder blades, draw in left foot back. Warrior one. Take a generous step. Ground your foot at an angle, ground in through your feet. Now notice if you're taking enough space between your feet, would you benefit from a wider, longer base? Just be at play in the possibility. What happens if, draw your belly in, soften it the elbows, and pull your shoulder blades into your spine. Now keep that shoulder integration, interlace your hands behind your back. Stretch your knuckles down towards the floor. Lift the center of your chest up. Keep drawing your shoulders and towards your spine. And now bow forward. Humble warrior Bow over your front right thigh. You might rest on your thigh. You might fall inside of your [00:18:00] thigh, but keep a strong grip on your hands. Hold the bases of your palms towards your center. Even if they don't touch, they don't have to touch. But just keep that strong grip with your hands. With an inhale, rise back up Warrior. Make your way to the floor and take a vinyasa. That could be a cat cow, a camel plank, plank to updo. Remember all of the choices and we go through all of those choices at the beginning of class to set up the standard that you have a choice. Stretch your left leg behind you. Push through your heel warrior one. Step your foot forward, ground into your feet and rise. Notice the space between your feet. Press into your heels and lift the crown of your head up.

When you compress the back, you open up the front. Take a breath. Humble warrior bow forward. Set your eyes somewhere. It could be your back big toe could be one unmoving point on the horizon.

Now we're doing some front side opening through backward bends. So importantly in backward bends, we organize everything into center line by drawing in the shoulders. Take one more big breath, lower down to the floor. Place one ear on the mat and just rest a moment.[00:46:00] Floor bow, bend your knees. Reach for your feet.

Reclined pigeon by coming to your back. You can take seated pigeon by crossing an ankle to the knee, or you can come to half pigeon by sweeping one leg behind you and keeping one leg in front of you. Decide which pigeon pose would be good for you today and consider what type of support you might give yourself. It could be a block, A block under the forehead for pigeon pose, or a block under the knee in seated pigeon. Give yourself the support you.[00:51:00] Stay connected to your.[00:52:00] Notice what sensations arise, and then make your way into the other side. Take any transitionary moments that you need to break up any sensations and then make your way into the other side of your hip opening pose.[00:53:00] [00:54:00] Stay connected to what you feel. Sensation, breath, and emotions are in access to the present moment. They keep us anchored to the here and now. And then make your way to a seat. Extend your legs in front of you. Pull your booty out from underneath you. [00:55:00] Reach your arms over your head. Take a full stretch, reach for your feet seated forward fold. Take a little sway from side to side. See how that feels. Reverse tabletop, bring your hands behind you. Also option to reverse plank by keeping your legs straight. You could also just put your hands on the floor and lift your chest.

And after a few breaths there into a fish pose, if you have a block underneath you, you can stretch your legs forward and drape your body over the block. If you wanna try a new sensation, if you're in fish pose, begin to make your way down. If there's a block underneath you, you can take that block out. Now, pull your knees to your chest, open your arms into a T, drop your knees over to the right for a simple twist[00:58:00] and look to the. Come back to the center, take the other.[00:59:00] Come back to the center. Give yourself a squeeze. Wrap your arms on your sh around your shins, or just pull your knees towards your body and give yourself a hug. Supine, butterfly. Rest your hands on your belly or by your sides, wherever it feels natural. Take this moment, notice how you feel, and then make your way into Shavasana. [01:00:00] Lengthen your legs. You can put something underneath your knees for support, or grab a sweater or a blanket, make your way into a comfortable resting position and just take a rest.[01:01:00] [01:02:00] [01:03:00] [01:04:00] A long intent. Breath in and wiggle your fingers and toes. Circle your ankles and wrists and then take a full body stretch. Point your toes, pull your knees to your chest, and if it's comfortable to you, roll [01:05:00] over to your favorite side, and then gently make your way up to a. And we'll transition to our seated meditation. So grab yourself something to sit on, blocks, bolster, cushion a pillow, something to elevate your hips a little higher than your knees. And find a comfortable resting position for your hands. Palms down. Palms up, or even one hand resting inside of the other. Lift your shoulders up to your ears, roll them down your back, and lift the crown of your head up towards the ceiling or the sky.[01:06:00] And first things first. Make conscious contact with your breath. Without doing anything or changing anything about yourself, notice the way the breath sounds. Notice the way the breath feels. The breath is an anchor to the present moment. And anchors, just like anchors do. [01:07:00] They keep us from drifting away. It doesn't mean there won't be distraction or there won't be movement. It means that we have a place to return to if there are distractions around you, whether it's sounds or people or things in your environment that take you away from the present moment, the invitation is to simply return that you notice the distraction in your return to your breath, the sensation, the sound.[01:08:00] It is the nature of the mind to wander. Thinking is what minds do. It is not the purpose of meditation to stop one's thinking. It is the purpose to release the thought and return to the breath. Even if this happens 100 times, we return 101, we keep coming back[01:09:00] and this is what makes it a. We keep coming back just when we think we've mastered the skill. A thought or a distraction can quickly take us out of the present moment, and so we just keep coming back. You do not have to get it right, you just have to be willing.[01:10:00] Notice the weight of your hands. Notice where your feet touch the floor, check your posture and lift the crown of your head up just a little bit taller, and then come back to the breath the way it feels. The way it sounds, we'll spend two [01:11:00] minutes in silence together.[01:12:00] A long, full, deep breath and empty.[01:13:00] Drop your chin to your chest and take a few neck rolls. Reach your arms overhead, take a stretch, and then bring your hands to your knees or the floor for a couple cat cows. Move your chest and your shoulders to break up any tension, and then come to a neutral seat with your palms touching at the center of your chest. Bring your thumbs to the center of your forehead. Bow your head towards your heart. In honor of each one [01:14:00] of you and this practice that we share, I vow to you my sweet friends and say namaste. Thank you for practicing with me today.

The school is small, but full of personality. With the weather being very characteristically spring-esque (in like a lion, out like a lamb and all), we had a beautiful day on Wednesday, so I decided to take the children to a nearby park. The first group of children (the eldest of them all) played kickball, fought with each other furiously about the rules of the game, and had a great time. The second group of children (2nd and 3rd graders) frolicked on a hillside plucking grass and daisies and throwing it in the air like confetti—fantastic. The third group of children are kindergarteners and they were a more fickle crowd to please. Kindergartener #1: Terrified to the point of paralysis about the dogs in the park. Kindergartener #2: Wanted to go play with all of the dogs. Kindergartener #3: Refused to play and clung to my hip. Kindergartener #4: “If she’s not playing, then neither will I.” Clung to my other hip. Kindergartener #5: “I have to go to the baph-room.” Kindergartners #6 & #7: Held hands and ran amok. Kindergartener #8: Aloof af. Kindergartner #9: Deeply desires to direct all of the other kindergartners and me too. Wooooooooooof, I was exhausted by the end of that day. That's when I turned to my trusty stress-buster, Yoga Nidra. It's like a magical reset button that helps me find my inner calm after a day of kindergarten chaos. If you've ever felt like you're on the brink of pulling your hair out, Yoga Nidra might just be the mental massage you didn't know you needed. In this week’s episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Kari, I offer you a Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique that helps to induce deep relaxation and facilitate the release of tension and stress from the body and mind. It's often referred to as "yogic sleep" because it allows you to experience a state of consciousness that is similar to the moments just before you fall asleep. During a Yoga Nidra practice, you lie down in a comfortable position and follow the guidance of my voice, which leads you through a series of relaxation techniques and visualizations. The goal is to enter a state of complete relaxation while remaining aware and present. If you find yourself needing a mental break, but don’t want a full blown nap-time, this Yoga Nidra practice is an excellent in-between option. I hope you enjoy this week’s Yoga Nidra practice. If you find yourself needing a break from anyone or anything, it’s a simple practice that you can lie down for. No special equipment required, just a time to rest your eyes and your mind.

Your support means the world to me. All right, sweet friend. Practice on. Hello my friend. Let's practice in today's practice. We'll be doing a Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra is a [00:01:00] powerful technique that helps to induce deep relaxation and facilitate the release of tension and stress from the body and mind. It's often referred to as Yoic sleep because it allows you to experience a state of consciousness that is similar to the moments just before you fall. During a Yoga Nidra practice. You lie down in a comfortable position and follow the guidance of your teacher, which leads you through a series of relaxation techniques and visualizations. The goal is to enter a state of complete relaxation while remaining aware and present, come and lie down on your back. Take time to arrange yourself so that you are completely comfortable and [00:02:00] able to stay in this position. For the next 20 minutes or so, be sure you have some cushion under your head for padding, maybe something under your knees for support and a blanket to cover you if you feel at all. Become aware of yourself lying on the floor, your whole body lying on the ground. Become aware of the. To visualize the room that you are lying in and listen to the sounds around you[00:03:00] gradually bring the sounds closer in. until the sound of your own breath is in the foreground of your awareness and everything else, except my voice falls away. Invite the body to relax, fully cultivating a sense of deep. Inner stillness Yoga Nira is a meditative practice. The intention is to stay awake [00:04:00] and follow along on an inner journey if you find yourself falling asleep. Gently draw yourself back to consciousness. Repeat to yourself now three times. I am practicing yoga neidra. I will stay awake. I am practicing yoga neidra. I will stay awake. I am practicing yoga nidra. I will stay awake from within, connect to a heartfelt intention or a positive resolve about yourself. [00:05:00] Let the words formulate naturally. In a simple phrase such as letting go, I take this time to care for myself. You are welcome to use this phrase or work with one that emerges from within you. Repeat your resolve three times. Now we begin the rotation of consciousness by taking a trip through the different parts of the body. Imagine that you are lying back in a shady grove. The soft, moist grasp beneath you, a light [00:06:00] breeze. Brushing each part as I name it, leaving it refreshed and invigorated. Move your awareness swiftly through the body. Following along with my voice. Beginning on the left side with the hand thumb index finger, middle finger ring finger. Pinky finger. Palm of hand. Become aware of the palm, the back of the hand, the wrist, [00:07:00] the lower arm, the elbow, the upper arm, the shoulder. The armpit, ribcage, the left waist, the left hip, the left thigh kneecap the calf muscle. The ankle, the heel, the soul of the left foot, the top of the foot, the big toe, second toe, [00:08:00] third, fourth, and fifth toe. Feel the whole left side of the body fanned with the passing breeze. The moist earth cradling you. Moving to the right side Thumb. Index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky finger, palm of the hand. Become aware of the palm, the back of the hand, [00:09:00] the wrist. The lower arm, the elbow, the upper arm. The shoulder, the armpit, ribcage, the right waist, the right hip, the right thigh. Kneecap, the calf muscle, the ankle, the heel, the soul of the right foot, the top of the foot, the big toe, second toe, third.[00:10:00] Fourth and fifth toe, feel the whole right side of the body fanned with the passing breeze. The moist earth cradling you. Move your awareness to the back of the head. Let it sink to the ground. Feeling embraced by the soft cushion of grass. Experience the sensation of moisture like dew [00:11:00] trickling down the back of the neck, along the spine, and across the back around the buttocks and down the backs of the legs. Now go to the top of the head. Feel the top of the head and forehead fanned by the wind. Now refreshing. Breeze blowing across the temples. The left eyebrow, right eyebrow and space between the brows left eye, [00:12:00] then right the left ear, the right ear, left cheek. Right cheek, the nostrils, the tip of the nose, the upper lip, the lower lip, the chin, the throat, the left breast, the right breast. The heart center, the abdomen, the pelvis, a light gust brushing over your skin [00:13:00] like a feather. Focus your awareness on the Naval Center, abdomen and pelvic girdle. Let your attention gather there. Have a sensate awareness of the rise and fall of the belly with the breath. Notice a sensation of spaciousness within the belly and spaciousness all around the belly.[00:14:00] With each breath, encourage a deep release and relaxation in the abdominal cavity. Surrender the weight of the body to the cool embracing earth. And let the flow of the breath, like the flow of the breeze, waft within you and around you. Feel the coolness of the air as it brushes the inside of the nostrils. And the back of the throat[00:15:00] as you breathe in, say the word balance silently to yourself. Let the exhale be slow and deep. Feel the release of tension and say calm silently to yourself with each outgoing breath. Inhale balance. Exhale, calm[00:16:00] as you breathe in and out. Begin to imagine the inhalation breath first entering through the left nostril, and then the exhalation breath exiting through the right. Then inhale through the right nostril and exhale through the left. Continued to breathe this way. Inhale left, exhale right, [00:17:00] and then inhale, right, and exhale left. In inhale balance, exhale, calm, experience, the. Like an inner current, it's confluence coursing through you, like the gentle wind cleansing your insides, bringing complete balance and calm.[00:18:00] Be aware. Of the content of your consciousness just as it is without any need to change or modify your experience, relax and be with everything just as it is. Be aware. Of being aware,[00:19:00] bring your sensate awareness to your physical body. Thinking to yourself, I have a body and I am aware of this body. This body experiences, different conditions of health and sickness, stress and relaxation. I have a body and I am aware of this body. This body is an experience unfolding in my awareness. I have a [00:20:00] body and I am more than the experience of this body. I am aware of this body. Be aware of the emotions that come and go in this body. I have emotions and I am aware. Of these emotions. These emotions are experiences unfolding in my awareness, changing sometimes contradictory[00:21:00] swinging from love to hatred, from calmness. To anger from joy to sorrow. I have emotions and I am more than the experience of emotions. I am aware of these emotions arising in the field. Of unchanging awareness. Be aware of the thoughts that run through the mind and are constantly [00:22:00] changing. I have thoughts. , I have a mind, but I am more than this. Mind filled with thoughts, thoughts changing, chasing one another within this mind. I am the awareness that perceives this mind. And it's constantly changing conditions. Be aware of all the objects in awareness, sensation, feeling. [00:23:00] Thought and experience. Notice how each arises in the ever-present field of awareness. Say to yourself, I experience sensation, feeling. and thought I am not separate from them. All of these move within the field of my awareness. I am the one who is aware of them. I am aware and distinct from these movements.[00:24:00] I am the one who is aware. Now tap into the sensate feeling of this. I am. Who is aware? Trace the feeling of I am down from the brain and into the body. Locate and feel the bodily location of I am. In the heart center and rest in the [00:25:00] heart as the feeling of pure awareness, be with the experience of I am without judgment. Free of any need to do or change, simply be with the purity of I am abiding in a sea of awareness. A sea of consciousness.[00:26:00] Return your attention to the flow of the breath. Inhale balance. Exhale, calm.[00:27:00] Feel the ribcage and belly expand with each inhalation breath. And release. With each exhale, become aware of your body lying on the floor. Feel your body lying on the floor. Become aware of the room around you, the sounds around You bring to mind [00:28:00] the heartfelt prayer from the beginning of the practice, your own. Or the one offered earlier, letting go. I take this time to care for myself. Repeat your resolve once again, three times. Begin to gradually open your eyes, let them open and close. [00:29:00] Several times rocking gently between the interior world and the exterior world, allow the eyes to naturally come to focus and receive the light. As they are ready, then stretch your body, curl your knees to your chest, and then roll over to your favorite side. For just a [00:30:00] few breaths and then slowly transition to a seated position. Bring your palms to. At the center of your chest and take a moment to notice how you feel. Bring your palms to the center of your forehead and bow your head towards your heart in honor of you.
