The Good morning. I'm Elise Fabricant. Let's wake up the body and get ready for a great day. So let's just start sitting. You can sit like I am with your hips on your heels or you can sit cross-legged for this first part.

And let's just roll out the shoulders should feel good after sleeping. Nice slow shoulder rolls and then really slow neck rolls just a half circle so we're just

just starting with some easy gentle stretches that I like to do first thing in the morning.

And then we'll get flowing in just a moment.

So take it slow.

Let your movement and your breath wash away some of the old cobwebs in the body roll out the shoulders again and then stretch

the arms all the way up overhead spread your fingers wide and reach as tall and big as you can interlace the fingers at the top turn

the palms straight up to that sunny sky and then take the body a little bit side to side

opening through the side ribs. Big breath. Back up to center, stretch tall, then bring the hands behind

your back of your head, drop the elbows heavy, tuck chin to chest. Let the head come back up. Draw those hands up and stretch

wide all the way over. Maybe time for a big yawn. Interlace the hands behind your back.

Lift the chest up, chin up.

Squeeze the shoulder blades as you draw that fist down.

And release.

Now if you're sitting cross-legged, now it's a good time to join me,

hips to heels, because we're going to bring the hands behind the back

and then just lift up one knee and then the other stretching out the sticky ankle.

You could always try both two knees at a time.

And then let's bring the fingers forward, up the hips tuck the toes sit back onto the toes and

actually just go ahead and roll your heels as close to the ground as they can get and then come forward

knees to the earth you could even make this into a little cat and cow so as the heels come down round the spine cat pose

and as the knees come down lift the spine look up cow pose let's do that a few more times. Just let it feel good.
