Power Vinyasa Eagle arm Goddess Flow
Below is a full yoga class script rewritten from your video transcription with inhale/exhale cues included. Wording is cleaned up and transitions are clarified while keeping the original flow and teacher voice.
YOGA CLASS SCRIPT (Approx. 60 minutes)
Theme: Breath + spinal mobility + strong flow + hips + core + release
OPENING + BREATHWORK (Seated)
Find a comfortable seat. Hands rest on knees. Soften your face and close your eyes. Take a few natural breaths.
We’re going to practice Three-Part Breath (Dirga Pranayama).
Think of your breath filling in three parts:
1) Lower belly
2) Lower ribs / mid-torso
3) Upper chest
Inhale: lower belly -> ribs -> chest
Exhale: chest -> ribs -> belly
Take a few rounds slowly.
Inhale through the nose: fill belly… fill ribs… fill chest. Exhale: soften chest… ribs… belly.
Try to smooth it out so the breath flows continuously—no pausing or stopping.
Take 2 more rounds.
Inhale: bottom to top.
Exhale: top to bottom.
NECK + SEATED SPINE WARM-UP
Bring hands to knees. Drop chin toward chest.
Gently roll the head side to side—finding any tight spots. Let the head feel heavy.
Use your breath: inhale as you move one direction… exhale as you move the other.
Now begin slow neck circles—small and comfortable.
Lean toward the right knee, roll forward, toward the left knee… and around. Switch directions. Come back to center.
