Yoga Instruction & Life Coach Hailey Zurich hosts Pumpkins & Poses

It's time for Pumpkin and Poses. All year is the time for Pumpkin and Poses. If we're being honest, yeah. Yoga instructor, life coach, Haley Zurich, she's here to get fit. Tell us where we can carve some pumpkins after a few rounds of vinyasa. What will we be doing vinyasa? There's different kinds of yoga. That's one of them. And actually, this weekend, Pumpkins and Poses, it's for all bodies and all ages. So if you've got a kiddo or a teen or you've got granny, she's done shooting those apple guns. She wants to come get some yoga, build her guns. She can come on out. So this is going to be welcome for all ages. Beautiful. What's the pumpkins? We're just tying the season or what? Well, it's a little bit of both. I'm a crafty person. So after we're going to get a little glow, a little sweat, a little stretch, and most importantly, de-stress, we are going to get creative and you are able to carve your own pumpkins or decorate them. If you're not into carving the pumpkins, we've got paint, we've got flowers that you can glue on. Oh, there we go. And the best part is all of the mess is happening right at Motto in Ferndale. You don't have to worry about cleaning up any of the stuff at home. Oh, there we go. Yeah, pumpkins are a mess. Yeah. They're filthy. It's like pulling the brains out. And then your hands are sticky forever. You can bring your own Ziploc bag if you want to take those seeds home to toast them. Of course. Why would you not? We're not going to stop you from doing that. Why would you not? All right, beautiful. So let's do it a little bit. And my favorite part about yoga is that we have the expert who's always making it look so easy, and we have the one who struggles to touch his toes. You can do anything. We can do anything. I believe in you. So we begin. So we're going to do three poses together with one variation if you need to. We're going to start with Warrior 1. It's a pretty baseline standing yoga pose. So we're going to step our right foot forward, left foot out and back, and we're going to lunge into that front knee. Now, your back toes are going to turn out on a 45-degree angle. You're going to think about your hips being headlights. You're pointing them forward, and then reach your arms up. Big victory. Got it. Now, you can play here with, like, bending your arms and extending them, but we're just going to hang out here. So this is it? Yeah, you're doing great. I'm doing it. I'm doing yoga in this moment. Bring that right hip back just a little bit for me, Buzz. What is that? Yes, that's exactly right. Do you see that quad activation? Now we're going to open up for warrior two. So we're going to turn to our side, and it's kind of like we're surfing or skateboarding, if that's your tool of choice. Lunge into that front knee. Your front toes are pointing forward, and your back foot's parallel. So straighten that back leg a little bit more for me. Oh, like that. Yes, perfect. There you go. Party time, excellent. Now you feel like flying? Yeah, absolutely, always. So we're going to straighten our front leg, and you're going to reach your right hand down towards the floor and see if you can lift up. Now, if you need to, you can bring your hand down to the floor to support you. Oh, look at this. Yep, exactly right. I'm doing it. Perfect. Bring your left foot down. Oh, man. Now, if that's scary and if you're watching at home and you wanted to try that, you don't have to fly. You can always turn your back toe in slightly, turn your left hip forward and down, and bring your right hand down and come to triangle pose. Okay, we got options. Yeah, there's always ways to modify it. I think it's important. A lot of people walk into a yoga class and then they're going to have to do headstand day one yeah not the case tons of modifications and there's always space for you just as you are today yeah we love it and while that's true it's also true that it is a workout i had this silly idea that yoga was easy even if i wasn't flexible it's not as if you're working out but oh what a dumb thought you are i'm out of breath well not quite out of breath you're getting there quickly yeah you're getting i picked these poses because they help warm you up yeah we're getting into the fall seasons it's not your fault you are the weather person but you're not making temperatures drop no getting some heat inside your body will help you circulate regulate and feel good okay very good and we have to just mention briefly about this shirt you're wearing because this is you this is your brand a lot of times when you see a shirt people give away free shirts they're crummy shirts that's a quality shirt there look at that job well done thank you you can get them you can go into my website um and order your own in several different colors and up to size 5x dumb dumb q um this weekend show up or sign up Show up or sign up.
