8-minute Seated body scan
At the beginning of all my yoga classes I will generally do a body scan. While I prefer doing a lying down scan for a full hour-long practice, for a shorter practice I’ll do a seated body scan. It’s a great way to center and ground before a physical yoga practice. But it’s also great for a guided meditation.

This scan will be seated on the floor, and lasts just 8-minutes which means it’s easy to fit into your busy schedule. I hope you give it a try!
