This sequence is for those days when you wake up in a negative mood. Feeling pessimistic, sad, or depressed can signify an unbalanced heart and small intestine Qi. This sequence focuses on the chest and torso area to strengthen these energy channels. It also stimulates the solar plexus chakra through the belly twists, tapping into the chakra’s qualities of confidence and positive thinking.

Mantra/affirmation to silently repeat to yourself throughout practice: "I am open to receiving the energy of relaxation and renewal."

This sequence takes just 30 minutes, so it is easy to fit into your morning routine, helping you start the day with a better mindset.
