Phase 6 - Practices that Expand on the Basics
You are probably feeling pretty good after completing phases 1-5. Fortunately that is not the end. Now we can start to work practices that MORE specifically target your training, your immune system, your mindset, and your ability to SLOW DOWN AND BE EFFECTIVE.

From Your Bed to Your Feet
A short morning practice for sure... this practice will increase blood flow by targeting the major muscle groups that tighten up as we sleep. Also, and of course: deep breathing!
(I recorded this practice with one of the athletes I work with, which is why you may hear some sh*t talking) -
Total Body Stretch
A looooooonnnnnggggg full body practice... and one of my most popular sequences this practice will take you through the whole body with longer holds then in Phase 5.
You have earned this time, so take it! -
Yoga for Your Spine
Yoga for your spine! This short practice targets the muscular tensions that are pulling on your spine and making you ache. It will relieve the tensions and create space for you to move more freely.

WTF Yoga Hip Recovery
This is by far the most popular of my short practices and is used regularly around the world to release tension in the hips and low back, improving range of motion and decreasing discomfort.
-
WTF Yoga Shoulder Recovery
I created this short practice for headaches and it evolved into something much more...this practice is gentle and slow enough that you can use it to relax the tension in the shoulders rather than further stress them. Use it to calm your mind and body.
-
Lateral Body Practice
This practice is designed to strengthen the hips, obliques, and shoulders. There are some complimentary moves in there as well so it will be a moderately difficult.
-
Focus and Calm Intermediate
With longer ratios you will find a deepening sense of calm as you move through this 15 minute practice.
-
Up + Down + Breath Work
If you have been a part of my TrueCoach membership you know this practice. It is designed to improve low back pain, get the blood and lymph flowing, and help you learn to control your breathing.
