A very rough recording. There are black spots at a few points when there is no movement necessary (finding your breath at the start, savasana, etc)

Restorative Poses
Each day try spending anywhere from 10-30 minutes with just 1 restorative pose and allow your parasympathetic nervous system to take the wheel for awhile.
👑 King/Queens Pose 👑
Using “props” found around the house.. in this case ... a couch pillow, throw pillows and blankets to create a comfy a Resto nest.

1. Create a slightly angled, back support in a reclining direction.
2. Sitting with the base of your spine at the short edge of your back support and recline onto the pillows. 3. With your legs in Butterfly (soles of the feet together and knees opened like a book) Place a throw pillow under each knee for support. There should be NO sensation in either knee. If there is indeed sensation.. extend legs long and support the backs of knees with the throw pillows or some variation that allows your legs to be comfortable.
4. Using folded blankets under each elbow create a cozy resting platform for each forearm. Cover yourself with a blanket if you like. Make yourself as comfy and cozy as possible. |

Aaaaaaand relax... breathe without manipulation or effort. Allow the ease and lightness of the shape to guide you to peace and relaxation.
When you’re ready to return to movement and awareness.... slowly and gently bring yourself out with the same kindness and loving ease that you would wake a loved one with. |

Reclining Twist
A yummy let-go at the end of a long day, maybe follow with a sweet Savasana to let all the bits n pieces settle back and allow the feeling of supported wholeness to return to your awareness. |

2. Sit with side of hip flush with the short edge of the pillow pile. Legs can extended long. Twist the front of your torso toward the pillow pile. Placing your hands on either side of the pillows for support, slowly lower your torso onto the inclined pile and snuggle in, allowing your head to rest on whichever cheek is most comfortable.

3. Adjust your legs to most comfortable position that allows your hips to relax. Bend at the knees a little or a lot or barley. The goal is to allow your spine to gently twist while finding the most comfortable and supported “nest”. Maybe placing a folded blanket between the legs to pad the joints when stacked.
4. Cover yourself with a blanket or do whatever you need to feel supported and secure in the shape. Once you find that space take 3 deep breathes then allow the breath to settle naturally relaxing into a soft feather of breath and as Octavia Raheem says... Feel 🌟💛 feel how laying your load down creates ease... feel the ease in your physical body.....your emotional body...... and your spiritual being.
Allow 5-10 minutes (or longer if you so choose) and repeat on the other side.
Regarding movement ..... let it be slow, gentle and loving.
A cozy Savasana would wrap this up nicely. Be well y’all. 🌟
