The Hi, welcome to Yoga Download.

I'm Jackie Kassalmaru, and this is beginner yoga.

This is a free class, and it's designed for anyone who has never been on a yoga mat before

or for those of you who are just beginning,

my advice for you today would just be to do the best that you can,

not to judge yourself, and don't worry,

I know that you probably can't touch your toes,

yoga is much more than that, just do the best you can.

Let's go ahead and begin.

Come to a child's pose. So come to your hands and your knees first.

Now spread your knees wide towards the outer edges of the yoga mat. You can bring them that wide and bring your big toes together to touch or as close as they'll go.

Lower your butt, your hips, down towards your heels and it's okay if they touch, it's okay if they don't touch.

Lower down to your forearms. You can stay here or if you have the range of motion to get there,

reach your arms forward and bow your head so that your forehead hits the mat and you just rest.

We start a lot of yoga here because it's a nice posture, it's a bow.

It's a humble posture to be in. Let your ego go. Let your judgments go. You're here in yoga to get

more flexible. So you're in in yoga to get more flexible

so you're in the right place

take a couple breaths

we try to be as present as we can

so we let go of anything that happened before this moment
