Thank you. Hi, welcome to yoga download.com. I'm Jackie Maru, and this is Daily Decompression 2.

This class is here to help you relax the best that you can and to unwind.

Grab a block, if you have one, and if not, no problem, I'll cue with and without a block, but

grab a folded blanket or a folded towel, just so that you have something for extra comfort.

Let's go ahead and begin on our backs.

So you can lie on your back.

And you can bring your knees together.

Just let them fall inward towards each other.

And bring your feet wide.

And your arms just by your sides.

And if you need to place a towel in between your knees for more comfort, you always can.

In fact, you can adapt any posture to make it work for your body.

Begin now just to deepen your breathing.

So make your breath deeper than its natural rhythm.

Your inhales, you can make them longer, deeper.

Deeper. Make your exhales long as well

so that you complete the exhale.

There is relief in the exhale.

The exhale is what helps us relax.

In Banda Scarvelli, I quoted her in the first daily decompression, I'll do it again because

she was a wise yoga teacher.

She said, to relax is not to collapse, but simply to undo tension.
