Energizing Yoga (11 minutes)
Need a little energy boost? Here’s a newbie-friendly energizing yoga flow to get you going!
You’re welcome to use a yoga mat, blanket or towel for a little extra cushion.
Standing videos will be available eventually (once I get the hang of it!).
Feel free to save this video for the future for some uncomplicated, no-guilt-tripping-allowed healthy movement.
You can live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved.
Live intentionally – including how you move your body!

Equipment/space needed
As stated above, you really don’t need fancy equipment to do this. Supplies you might want to have on hand include:
- Space on the ground or in your bed to comfortably move and stretch (like spreading your legs out)
- Blanket, towel, rug, or yoga mat, if desired
- Clothing you can stretch and move in
Remember this!
As always, these key points are essential to healthy happy movement, including relaxing yoga:
- Be kind to your body! It’s the only one you’ve got! Speaking or thinking badly about it will only hinder you. (More research about that in future posts!)
- Always, always modify as needed. Only YOU know what your body is feeling. So if something isn’t working for you at this time, dial it back. Modify.
- Pursuing healthy movement is a gift you give yourself. Enjoy it. (And seek out healthy movement that fills you up! If yoga isn’t your jam, keep exploring and trying until you find your best-fit option).

Thanks Cortney I needed that. It’s been far too long since you recuperated me from the concrete truck injuries.
Miss you.
Yay, Red! I’m so glad to hear that! I can’t believe it’s been so long, either. I miss you!
