And let's see, I'm gonna Swing you forward a little bit. Take the leg up, soft feet and kick kick here, fill there.

I can see why you were back and kick, kick. Keep this leg relaxed and kick kick front as you go back scooping your Tammy's and kick kick back. Now kick kick way up there for you. And as you're moving, don't let your shoulder roll forward. Keep those roots pulling together yes and kick, kick last one and kick, kick. And that's enough.

Rest your legs on top of each other. Take your leg up, pip level again, going up and down. You'll go up towards the ceiling. As you bring that leg down, you want to squeeze your inner thighs, reach that leg out. Squeeze in here, push it. Yes, you kind of push your hips forward as you bring the leg down and up and lower up and lower. Take flex up this time. Point down. Okay, squeeze here. That's it. So both cheeks, bottom is working and reach. Flex up. Point down one more time and flex and down.

Rest your legs on top of each other. Going into your little circles. Start with the leg up hip level and five little circles and one to the softer to the knee. The more you'll feel it in your hip. Three, four, almost. Bend that knee. Five reverse it and one. Bend your knee a little bit more. Two, three, four, not letting your hips roll around and five rest. Okay. Lie back onto your backs. Take your circles between your hands, between your palms, your knees can be bent. We're going to go into your single leg teasers.

All right, let's have you bring your feet together. Knees and feet together. Side your feet pretty far forward. Good. Take your right leg extended out, but glue your knees together. Excuse me. You're going to start by squeezing the circle and now you're going to try to round up without your left foot moving.

You come up as high as you can with that left foot moving. If it moves, you've come up to high hold, reach for the ceiling. Still squeezing the circle. Start to round, back down. Push your shoulders down the shoulder blades. Curl your hip sender and teary more. Squeeze the circle, curl off the mat. The higher you come, the harder the exercise. Reach up for the ceiling stretch and start to scoop.

Squeeze the circle, lie back down. Last what you do, what's your body's able to do. And last one, reach for your toes. Reach for the ceiling and lie back down. And try not to let those knees move you. Keep them glued together the whole time. Once you're down, stay down and switch sides. Okay, so opposite leg, move this foot out a little bit more right there.

Reach for your toes, reach up for the ceiling. Whatever level you're at, that's fine. And then start to roll down. You do not have to come all the way up. You'll still get a lot out of this and squeeze the circle resisting. So the magic circle is there to teach you how, where that resistance is coming from. Shoulders, powerhouse, hips.

And last one, squeeze and comma. Excuse me. Great Chap. Squeeze and go down. Try to stay centered as you come down, working right through the middle of the body and dropped the circles. Rest your legs. And I have you guys sit up finishing with your seals so you can take your hands inside the legs. Hold on to your ankles if you can.

If that's too hard on your hips or shoulders, just go ahead and hold onto your thighs. You want to find your secrets, your rounded, your shoulders are now and you gonna try to clap the heels three times here. Roll back and come up three times. One, two, three claps with the heels. One, two, three up. So keep the gaze on your stomach so you're in your seek curve the whole time. And one, two, three, back. One, two, three up. That's it. One, two, three. Back with the heels. One, two, three up. So three clubs back, three claps up. One, two, three, come up. One, two, three, go back. Keep going. Now.

Only rule to the tips of the shoulders. Yeah, a little too far. And that's where it starts to get harder and teamwork. And one, two, three back. And as you can tell, it's also a centering exercise. And uh, last one. One, two, three. Back. One, two, three, up. Place your feet down. And just go ahead and stretch over to your toes. Your legs can be straight or bent. Whatever feels good.

I'll have you guys stand up. Heels together, toes apart. You can stand on your mat or the floor. Whatever's more comfortable. And just three big circles with the arms. Think of your thighs wrapping. You're still squeezing your bottoms. Knees are soft. Three big circles. Deep breath in. Grow Tall. Lift your spine.

Exhale, two more deep breath in. And exhale. Use that resistance of the arms going down and you lifting up. Fill this in right in here. And sorry you did three, take your arm straight up. Nice deep breath in. Exhale, start to round down to the top of the hips. Keep your now this is where it's tricky. Try to keep your hips on top of your ankles, so weight is towards your toes.

Keep going. Drop your arms. Just let them hang only to the top of the hip. So don't go too low. Stop there. Everything's relaxed. Give your arms a little push to circle them five times. So they're just kinda dangling. Now you have to keep those hips on top of your ankles.

That's what's very hard here. Three, four, soft necks, five and then a little pushed revert. Let the momentum do the work, not you. So just let them kind of hang even less energy. Yeah. Four and five. Now you're going to try to round up and as you round up, try not to touch me to get your weight forward. There you go towards your toes. Take both arms straight up. Come up to your toes if you can. Balancing, try to keep those heels together.

Deep breath in and exhale. Drop your arms, drop to a flat foot. Shake yourselves out and you guys are all done. Thanks for coming. Happy holidays.
