The Hi, y'all, Les Leventhal here with Yoga Download.

So our next 15 or so minutes of flow is for Nyama.

And so we're going to focus on Ishvara Pranidana, devotion. So top of the mat, big toes touching,

hands to prayer in front of the heart, just close your eyes. As you begin to become more aware of your breath, so maybe that is deepening your breath,

maybe not. Just become aware of the qualities of your breath.

Temperature, shallow, deep, so not even requesting a change.

The devotion for me is someone family member who's struggling a little bit right now. So

focus on someone in your life that is going through something where they need some guidance,

some help, whether or whether or not they are receiving that help or even asking for it, but just someone

that you can offer the benefits of this practice.

So in 15 minutes, we're going to do some more gentler heart-openers.

For those of you that have more advanced practice, which I refer to as you sleep in wheel

pose, feel free. But for myself, I need quite a bit of

warm-up, so I'll be keeping it to bridge pose. So not peak pose oriented in this shorter

practice, more can we allow ourselves to open up to peak sensations and feelings and

peak devotion that sense of altruism that selfless devotion to the well for another so give

everything away deep inhale relax your arms down by the sides. Exhale. Open the eyes, soft gaze.

I'm an inhale, sweep the arms out and up. Look to the thumbs, only if it's okay for your neck. If not, just keep looking forward.

And then exhale, swan die forward fold. Tight handstring, lower to back, injured folks, knees are bent.

Inhale, flat back. Hands can come to the shins or they can stay

on the earth. And then exhale, step back to plank pose on top of a push-up. Inhale.
