You would like to start your day by opening and releasing tension through your body and breath while connecting with something greater than yourself.

In this video, John guides you through a body-opening practice inspired by the work of Cass Phelps. You will inhale to stretch open a part of the body and exhale to open through that body part. This is a powerful embodiment practice for aligning your body and breath with the pulse of the universe.

If you are looking for a short and simple practice to ground and release tension in your body in a deep and embodied way, begin with this 6-minute practice.
