It's hard to listen, learn and pay attention when your body and mind are tired. Come into mountain pose. Feet about feet-width apart. Shoulders relaxed. Palms facing forward. And body tall. Starting at your feet, scan your body to see how it's feeling. How are your feet and legs feeling? Your belly, your back and your chest. Your shoulders and your arms. How about your neck, head and face? Now, it's time to wake up your whole body. Move your feet first, so wiggling your toes in your shoes, rock forward and backwards. And then from side to side, waking up the bottoms of your feet. Next, move your ankles. So, picking up one foot, finding balance and making some small circles. One in one direction, and then the other. Now let's switch to the other side. So, picking it up, moving in one direction and then going in the other. Let your knees get into the movement. You can hold your balance and swing your lower leg. And let's do the other side. And now we can lift one knee and then together. So lifting that knee up high. And then bring both feet on to the ground and let's do some deep knee bends. Now move your hips. Make big circles with one leg at a time. And now let's do the other side. And now you can move your hips forward, moving your hips back and then moving your hips from side to side. The let your torso get into the action as well. So maybe in the hips back with torso forward. And then let your shoulders and arms move now. Roll your shoulders, and then make some big circles with your arms. Careful not to hit your neighbors. Then let's circle the other direction. And now shake out your arms all the way down to your feet. Bring your head side to side to wake up your neck muscles. And now circle it forward to the side. And then circle back around again. Finally, move the muscles in your face, your jaw, tongue, your cheeks and even your eyes. So move any other part of your body that needs to move right now. And then let's be back in mountain pose. So one more time, scan your body. Starting at your feet and moving up towards your head. Is your body feeling any different now than it was when we were standing like this before? Any time your body your feeling tired or you've got the bloats, move each part of your body around to wake it up.
