RESET PROTOCOL: DAY 1
Reconnect With Your Breath & Center
A 30-minute guided practice with Rebecca Cohen
Welcome to Day 1 of the Reset Protocol.
Today’s practice invites you to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and begin noticing what is happening in your body without needing to change or fix anything.
Today's Focus
Upanavāyu — grounding, releasing, and nervous system regulation
We'll explore the downward flow of energy associated with Upanavāyu while using breath and movement to create a greater sense of grounding and relaxation.
Throughout the practice, you'll be encouraged to focus on the exhale and notice how your breathing influences your experience of movement.
Today's Practice
Set aside about 30 minutes for yourself.
Before you begin:
- Find a comfortable space where you won't be interrupted.
- Have your yoga mat available.
- Keep a block or cushion nearby if you use one.
- Move at a pace that feels appropriate for your body today.
- Remember that you can always choose a different option or rest when needed.
After Your Practice
Take a few quiet moments before moving on with your day.
Notice:
- How does your body feel now?
- What do you notice about your breath?
- Did anything feel different when you lengthened your exhale?
- Where do you feel more grounded or relaxed?
There is nothing you need to accomplish. Simply notice.
Your Reset for Today
Carry one thing from today's practice with you into the rest of your day—a breath, a movement, a sensation, or simply a moment of awareness.
Tomorrow, we'll continue building on this foundation.
