FALL INTO LOW LUNGE POSE

Happy fall everyBODY!

My Burning Bush is gorgeous this year and just begged me to pose in front of it. Soon, my pumpkins rolled into the picture, and with the sun beaming down upon us the beautiful peach-salmon colored yoga outfit I was wearing was left without color. Oh well! At least the Burning Bush was burning - and my thighs too! Low Lunge Pose is one of my favorite yoga poses. It really stretches our entire body and we will certainly feel an energy buzz. As an added bonus, if we keep looking up, we will tone our neck!

 Arching our back in Low Lunge Pose will certainly fire up our core, stretch and strengthen our legs, get our hearts pumping, our circulation flowing, our lungs working, and stimulate the thyroid gland located in our neck for a metabolism boost. Add deep inhales with exhales that are a few counts longer, and we can also encourage our parasympathetic nervous system to kick in leaving us feeling great!

As we look up, we can also thank God for this beautiful time of year!

"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

til next time...

...love and blessings for a beautiful day!

How to Low Lunge:

1.) Stand with your legs hip width apart and step forward with one foot.

2.)Gently bend your forward leg while sliding your back leg back into a lunge that is a comfortable stretch for you and then carefully lower your back leg knee.

3.) Front knee should not extend beyond your foot.

4.)With a big slow inhale slowly raise your arms up, arch back comfortably and tilt your head back gently and then exhale slowly and repeat the breathing at least a few more times.
5.) Do the same with your other leg.

Enjoy the movement, give thanks and be glad!
