Today’s audio-first practice is a full-body Friday yoga flow for a tight back, stiff shoulders, sore feet, and tired legs.
We’ll begin with an active Child’s Pose and Puppy Pose to open the shoulders, upper back, and side body. From there, we’ll move through Warriors, Pyramid, Chair, Triangle, Figure Four, and optional standing balances before finishing with a simple legs-raised inversion.
Choose the variations that support your body today. Keep both feet grounded, hug the knee instead of extending the leg, choose Triangle instead of Half Moon, or skip the vinyasa altogether. Don’t worry about doing it “right.” Move and breathe in a way that feels honest—that’s enough.
Stay through the end for today’s card, Trust and Surrender, and a reflection on recognizing what is stable, receiving support, and remembering that you don’t have to do it all.

Today’s Card
Trust and Surrender
“Humble yourself to the intelligence of life and allow it to guide you.”
In our asana practice, we trust the floor and the mat. We connect to something stable and unmoving, and that support helps us find our own balance and grounding.
Today’s invitation is to look for what is genuinely worthy of your trust—what is stable and steady—and allow yourself some measure of surrender. Maybe a lot. Maybe just a little more than you found before.
You don’t have to do it all. Take a moment to recognize everything and everyone supporting you, and allow yourself to receive some of that support.
