The

The Welcome to Yoga Download. My name is Mark. This is part three of a series called How to Get Lucky. Get Luckyer Still.

What does this even mean in our yoga practice? Well, it's a very simple idea.

Luck being a choice we make. Not something that's given to you, not something you're born with,

but something you can actually cultivate in your life, in your practice, in your body, in your meditations, right?

Luck. What is luck? Luck means wide open possibility. Wide open possibility. The best way to invite

that into your life is to put down all your constricted ideas of how the world is supposed to be.

All your plans, all your wants, your desires, not give them up entirely,

just relax them a bit so other possibilities can sort of appear and you will notice them.

If your mind and your body are too tight and rigid in a certain way, other possibilities don't show up.

Luckyest people you know in your life have wide open perspective. Everything's available to them.

They see things, they hear possibilities.

Oh, that's over there.

That's over there.

I wouldn't have heard that if I only had one narrow thing that I wanted in life.

So our practice is aimed at widening you, making you more available to the moment,

more available to your life, so luck can manifest, can show up, and you can take action with it, you can actually

use it, you can cultivate it in your life, possibility, reality as it is, okay? This is our practice.

How do we do it in the body? We move sort of swirlingly, loopingly, unexpectedly loop it around.

Put your right hand on your heart. Put your left palm down here in your belly down here on your knees

Lower your chin down take a big inhale through your nose lift the heart a bit higher and lighter hold the breath

Exhale slowly back out down the spine all the way out empty completely squeeze it out do it again big inhale
