Are you too BUSY? Don’t have time for a full class? Here’s this week’s 10-Minute Warm-Up to get you moving, so you can still get on with the demands of your day:

Heavy Artillery for hard-to-loosen hips.

Maybe I shouldn't use a war metaphor for yoga? Eh, there's Warrior 1, 2, and 3, and let's face it: sometimes you've gotta FIGHT to take your practice further.

Anyway, Firefly is a hard goal to go toward, more than most arm balances, and the usual struggle is with the hips, so here we are: Imagine yourself in the deepest possible squat you can hold, then setting your hands down on the ground, lifting your feet, and straightening your legs.

Not an easy thing.

And that's fine.

SO, if you have trouble touching your toes, or getting up and down from sitting on the floor, or if your body just feels STUCK from spending too much time cooped up in rigid positions, this flow will have you moving more FREELY by the end.

You might even get pretty close to holding that "Firefly" pose. That'd be pretty cool to bust out at the occasional party. It'd get people talking, anyway...
