00:00As you shift your body to the right side, bend.
00:07Hello everyone, welcome to Yoga with Neri. My name is Neri Toledo aka NeriFIT.
00:13Today's practice is yoga for travelers.
00:17Yoga poses to help you unwind after a plane ride and also poses that you can do at the airport while waiting for your flight.
00:27The first pose is wide-legged forward fold.
00:30Step 3 to 4 feet distance apart, your toes slightly in, soften your knees, hands to the hips, back straight.
00:40Inhale here, then hinge from the hips, fold forward.
00:51Relax your head, then extend your arms forward, grab your elbows with your hands.
00:58Again, shake your head left to right.
01:02This is a very good grounding pose.
01:05Stay for 5 or 10 breaths. We'll do for 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
01:13Hands to the hips, inhale halfway lift, exhale, roll your body out.
01:19We will add arm stretch, so interlace your hands behind you.
01:25Roll your shoulder up and back and pull your arms away from you as you draw your chest up and look up.
01:36Exhaling, hinge from the hips, fold forward, engage your quads.
01:44Stay here for 5 or 10.
01:49Let the gravity help you and then bring your hands to your hips, inhale, flat back, exhale, stand up.
02:02Then we'll add a twist.
02:04So again, roll your shoulder up and back, interlace your hands behind you, chest up, look up.
02:12Exhale, fold forward, then bring your left hands down, raise your right hand up, look up.
02:24Stay for 5 or 10.
02:26Inhale and exhale, change.

02:44Bring your hands on the mat, look forward, then slowly, gently lower your hips down into squat.
02:56You can stay in here or bring your hands forward and you can rack your body side to side.
03:09And if you want more stretch, bring your elbows to your left thigh, then push your right thigh with the help of your right hand.
03:21This will give you such a good relief to your hips.
03:28You can rack your body again side to side, then change.
03:34Push your left thigh away from you.
03:40The next pose is surfer lunge.
03:43So shift your body to the left as you extend your right leg.
03:50Flex your toes, point it towards your shin.
03:55Hands to the chest or bring it down.
03:59Then we'll move our body side to side.
04:04So hands, you can place your hands on the mat as you shift your body to the right side.
04:14Then flex your left toes, hands to the heart.
04:20And then shift again to the left, that's 2.
