This introductory episode will teach you everything you need to know about this program before you begin the exercises.

In this episode, we'll do exercises to get your posture right. When your spine is properly aligned and balanced, it puts less pressure on your joints, resulting in less pain and headaches. Good posture also helps reduce the risk of wear and tear that leads to restricted range of motion and arthritis.

This exercise will help us tone our entire body. Then we will do the warrior pose 3 to strengthen our legs, our abs, and improve our balance.
