>>> WE ARE BACK WITH "START TODAY." THIS MORNING WE ARE TRYING YOGA BASICS. SARA LARSON LEVY IS THE FOUNDER. GOOD MORNING! >> GOOD MORNING. HI. HOW ARE YOU GUYS? >> WE'RE GREAT. WE'RE GOOD. PEOPLE LOVE YOUR CLASSES. NOT JUST FOR THE WORKOUT, NOT JUST FOR THE YOGA, BUT YOUR MUSIC IS GREAT, TOO.
DID YOU CREATE A PLAY LIST FOR THIS? >> A LITTLE BIT OF ONE. I REALLY LOVE MUSIC. I THINK EVERYONE HAS A SOUND TRACK TO THEIR LIVES AND HOW THEY MOVE WITH THEIR BODIES. I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOGA. >> I LOVE THAT. >> ARE YOU READY? >> ALL RIGHT. LET'S START. WE WILL START IN A MOUNTAIN POSE. YOU CAN EITHER DO FEET TOGETHER OR HIPS WIDTH APART. SPREAD OUT ALL TEN TOES ON TO THE MATT. START TO BRING THE WEIGHT TO THE OUTER EDGES OF THE FOOT. ALL RIGHT. A LITTLE BEND IN THE KNEE. HANDS WILL GO BY THE HIPS. WE WILL TAKE A BIG INHALE. AND EXHALE. >> YOU COULD DO THIS AT HOME, BY THE WAY. >> YEAH. JOIN IN WITH US. BRING YOUR ARMS ABOVE YOUR HEAD. OUR PALMS ARE GOING TO MEET ABOVE OUR HEAD.
AND THEN AS WE EXHALE, WE ARE GOING TO BRING OUR HANDS THROUGH HEART CENTER. AND THEN OUR HANDS ARE GOING TO LAND ON OUR UPPER THIGHS. NOW WE WILL GO INTO A STANDING CAT COW. >> A CAT COW? >> EXACTLY. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO ALREADY. SO SLIGHT BEND OF THE KNEES, AND WE WILL PUT OUR PALMS ON OUR UPPER THIGHS AND ARCH THE BACK AND THE SHOULDERS WILL COME BACK AS WELL. AND LOOK UP. THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR COW POSE. AND ON YOUR EXHALE, YOU WILL ROUND THE BACK LIKE AN ANGRY CAT. AL, I'M WAITING FOR YOUR SUNDAY — SOUND EFFECTS. >> IS THAT WHAT AN ANGRY CAT SOUNDS LIKE? >> I LOVE IT. LET'S DO IT ONE MORE TIME TOGETHER. INHALE. >> WHY AREN'T YOU MOOING? >> AND EXHALE AND ROUND YOUR BACK. >> NOW THE NEXT ONE IS FOR THOSE IF YOU ARE COMMUTING OR WORKING AT HOME SITTING AT YOUR DESK, WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO IT. >> WE WILL DO A CHAIR POSE.
LIFT YOUR ARMS UP AGAIN. ARMS UP HIGH. ON AN EXHALE, WE WILL SINK OUR HIPS BACK DOWN. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT YOUR TOES. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEE ALL TEN TOES. YOU WILL SINK YOUR HIPS BACK A LITTLE BIT. LITTLE DEEPER. YOUR ARMS ARE GOING TO GO UP OVERHEAD. >> THIS IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS. >> ARCH YOUR BACK. YOUR SHOULDERS WILL DROP AWAY FROM THE EARS. GOOD. INHALE. IT'S WORKING. >> IT WORKS THE WHOLE BODY, YOUR CORE, YOUR GLUTS. WE WILL BRING THE HANDS TO HEART CENTER AND WE WILL DO A TWISTED CHAIR. SO YOU WILL KEEP YOUR LEGS IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF YOUR BODY EXACTLY AS THEY ARE. YOU WILL HOOK YOUR LEFT ELBOW OVER YOUR RIGHT THIGH. AND THIS IS REALLY GOING TO WORK YOUR SPINE, YOUR CORE. >> THIS FEELS REALLY GOOD. >> YES. >> WE NEED TO JUST DO THESE THINGS ON OUR OWN.
WHEN YOU'RE HERE OR PEOPLE ARE WATCHING TV, WE NEED TO DO IT EVERY DAY. >> IT IS HARD. IT IS HARD TO GET THE BODY MOVING. WE WILL COME BACK UP THROUGH CENTER. >> SARA, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS FANTASTIC. I FEEL BETTER ALREADY. >> DOES THAT FEEL GOOD? >> FOR THESE MOVES, MEAL.
