Travel Yoga (10 page)

Place your hand on a solid surface to steady yourself.

Keeping your back straight, squat down slowly for a moment.

Take a deep breath, then slowly rise.

Repeat this move several times, breathing in rhythm.

Try this with your feet flat or balancing on the balls and toes of your feet.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page
.

—St. Augustine

Lift your right foot onto a solid bench or table.

Turn your standing foot to the side for balance.

Stretch over your right leg, placing your hands on your leg or on the table.

Drop your head and breathe into the stretch.

Flex your foot. Breathe.

Relax your foot. Breathe.

Switch legs and repeat.

He who would travel happily must travel light
.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
