Playful Yoga - Bringing joy and Lightness Into Your Practice

Hey, it’s Cha Wilde. Today, we're diving into a playful yoga session that’s all about bringing joy and lightness into your practice. Imagine this: you’re on your mat, ready to move, but with a sense of fun, a little wiggle, and a big smile. 00:00:00 Introduction and Morning Routine I started my morning in Bali, packing up my art studio, hitting the gym, lifting weights, and flowing through some yoga. There’s something magical about mixing playfulness into everything I do—it’s like giving my soul a little dance break. 00:01:18 Embracing Playfulness through Yoga Now, I’m inviting you to join me. We’ll start with some familiar poses—child’s pose, melting heart, and downward dog—but with a twist. Let’s loosen up, add some fluid movements, and most importantly, let’s have fun. I want you to feel that lightness in every stretch, every breath. 00:03:35 Playful Imagery and Movements As we move, I’ll throw in some playful imagery. Picture yourself as a puppy dog, wagging your tail in the melting heart pose, or imagine you’re churning butter or riding a camel. It’s all about finding that joyful, carefree energy within you. 00:10:08 Connecting with the Need for Play And as we wrap up, let’s take a moment of stillness. Feel the quiet, connect with the part of you that craves play. Ask yourself—how do you want to play today? Let’s honor that playful spirit together. ------------------------ ✨ Welcome to Cha Wilde’s YouTube channel dedicated to healing.
