Hi everybody, I'm Grace Lazenby, and welcome to Yoga with weights. I'm going to take you through a hip opening exercise with light weights, OK. So we're going to do some isometric work for the upper body, OK. So let's begin by starting at the top of your mat, bring your hands to your heart, take the longest, deepest inhale you have all day, and exhale. Fall towards the floor, and then you're going to inhale, rise up, and then you're going to exhale, fall, and then you're going to stick your body back to a top of a push up. You're going to lower your body about two inches off the floor, you're going to rise up on to the top of the feet. You're going to exhale, press back , feet to downward facing dog. You're going to step your left foot forward in it's going to line up with the back heel. Now from here you're going to grab your two or three pound weight, you're going to rise up and then you're going to walk your left foot over so it lines up with the inner arch, you're going to bring the weights out and you're going to hold warrior two. You're going to hold it isometric for me, you're going to pull your lower belly in, good, pull your hips under, relax your face, nice long steady breath. And see if you can find the calmness in this pose. Reach out through your fingertips, good, how about four more breaths. And three, two, good, straighten that left leg. Excellent, now turn to the opposite side, bend the right knee, I want you to come down, and I want you to take a nice stretch and take it back, top of a push up, and lower. Stretch up, and downward facing dog. This time you're going to step your right foot forward, your back foot flat. You're going to inhale, come on up, hold, good. Come in to warrior two, excellent, pull the tail bone under, reach out through those finger tips. Good, how about four more breaths. Make your body so strong and so still. And let it go. Kick it back one more time, top of a push up. Beautiful. And your breath takes you back, and slowly walk in. You're going to roll up, you're going to relax. Excellent work everybody. That was yoga with weights. I'm Grace Lazenby, hope to see you next time.
