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:

LEVER UP as you level up!
Strength and skill require WILL & a path forward. If you're looking for a way to progress, PEACOCK is an excellent goal.
Also known as the "Elbow Lever," this pose is one of those moves that looks ridiculously hard while being surprisingly attainable.
Like anything physical, it depends on what you're bringing as far as strength and body proportions, but if Peacock is new to you, I bet you'll get further with this pose than you expect.
Flexibility is nice, but that's NOT the Main Thing here. Being too bendy can make you floppy. Being too stiff is a problem too, of course, but CONTROLLING and releasing rigidity in your body is more what we're after.
This flow will load your bent-arm strength, condition your wrists, and open up space from shoulder-to-shoulder and across your chest.
ALSO, if you're not usually too aware of the backside of your body, we'll bring that to your attention again and again, working the connection of your glutes to your legs and the supporting muscles all along your spine.
Yeah, it's yoga, but we'll work the poses and transitions in ways you won't expect, all to help bring your attention to the POTENTIAL of what your body can do!
