 GUIDED YOGA FLOW WITH CECILIA

Now it’s time to get a taste of yoga, both as a “work-out” and a “work-in”. Grab a
yoga mat, and keep a towel and a bottle of water nearby.

• Make sure you are in a quiet place where nothing can distract
you, and that you are not driving any vehicle. Be in a
comfortable position so you can fully take part in the guided
yoga flow.

• Stretch your muscles before starting the class. Stretching

loosens the muscles and tendons allowing you to sit (or lie)
more comfortably. Additionally, stretching starts the process
of “going inward” and brings added focus to the body.


• Take a deep breath. Breathing deeply slows the heart rate and
relaxes the muscles to help you have a comfortable
experience during the guided yoga flow.

DISCLAIMER: Not all exercises are suitable for everyone. To reduce the risk of injury, never
force or strain. Honor your body and be patient with yourself. Step by step build up your
strength, flexibility and balance. Consult your physician before beginning this or any other
exercise program. Thank you and enjoy.

 4. REFLECTION
The right questions can spur your unconscious mind to feed you the right
answers. So ask yourself… (Use an extra piece of paper if you need to).

1. Imagine – what would your life would be like if you were to incorporate a
daily yoga practice in your life?

2. How would yoga contribute in elevating your physical, mental, emotional,

spiritual dimensions ?

3. How will your life change once yoga becomes and integral part of your life?

4. What is the one thing you can do right now to continue on your yoga journey?

 5. STUDENT STORIES
“Thank you for helping me find peace! Now I am a yogi for
life!”

“I don't know what changed in me, but I felt peace within

myself after stepping on the mat. I felt my body and mind
opening up. I let go of all the stress and heartache I was
feeling emotionally. It felt as my body stretched, I was
releasing negative thoughts and as I held poses, I was
growing stronger, physically and mentally.

I love the variety and the instructors. Thank you for

helping me find peace! Now I am a yogi for life!!!”

~ Kelley Coronado, Entrepreneur,

Arizona, United States

“So much to choose from!”

“I live in a small, rural town and I LOVE living here! But

there is no yoga studio... And honestly, I prefer to practice
in the comfort of my own home anyway. Lots of different
flows to choose from, at varying levels of challenge, with
great descriptions! So much to choose from. And it feels
very unpretentious to me — it is just yoga for my home
yoga practice.”

~ Amy Belair

Practicing yoga has changed my life! It has brought me

more in balance with the universe and stronger in mind,
body and spirit. I am just starting my journey and plan
to continue because the practice has done so much to
improve my well being.

~ David Gloege

“I feel stronger, energized, more confident, peppier and so

alive”

When I have questions or encountering difficulties with

certain programs the Mindvalley Yoga Tribe is always
there to give me advice and encourages me when
needed. And I love my yoga teachers, each one has her
or his special particularity which makes it deliciously
refreshing.

I feel stronger, energized, more confident, peppier and

so alive! Even with my extra pounds, and being in my
fifties.

If you feel the need for more balance, calm, joy and peace
in your day to day life, yoga might be exactly what you are
looking for.

And the [Mindvalley Yoga Community] is the perfect place

to start your daily practice or take it to the next level. I
absolutely love Cecilia’s teachings and I think she did a
great job creating this integrative community that supports
us in our individual journey to self discovery, self
awareness and self love.

I am happy to be a part of this wonderful community and

grow with it, one practice at a time.
Namaste!''

“I feel transformed from my yoga journey”

“Yoga has transformed my life and I would like others to feel that way about it as well. I use
[Mindvalley’s Yoga Platform] daily and have noticed huge positive changes in my life, more
energy, happier and healthier too! Yoga has become such a part of my life that I now want
to take teacher training. This is a huge step for me, totally different from my day job, but I
feel transformed from my yoga journey so far and want to pass on my knowledge to others.
Thank you Cecilia!”
