Wake up. Drink a glass of water. Start to heat water for tea.
Everyone's kitchen is different but usually there is a counter or a chair nearby. In my kitchen, I look out the window at the garden while my water heats. I stand with my legs extended, heals under hips, interlocking fingers, turn palms toward the ceiling and stretch arms overhead.
Balance. Hold onto the counter if you need to. Practice balancing on one leg. Draw the other leg (the thigh, knee bends) toward your chest. Stay there as you breathe. Transfer weight to both feet on ground. Stretch arms up with fingers interlocked - the other interlock. Other side. Back to two feet.
Water hot? Add tea.

Yoga with Elizabeth Barnet
Elizabeth has been teaching yoga in Marin County and beyond since 1992. She apprenticed with Judith Lasater at the Iyengar Yoga Institute, studied with Donald Moyer and others at the Yoga Room in Berkeley, and continues her studies with Ramanand Patel and others. Her yoga background is rooted in the Iyengar tradition but also influenced by Desikachar, flow yoga, and her dance background. Her gentle, thorough, and attentive observations and articulations support each student's individual needs and differences.
Elizabeth is a graduate of St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a great books program. This classical education supports her life and thinking.
Elizabeth was born in Zambia and grew up in many parts of the US including Boulder, Chicago, and Boston. Elizabeth is the mother of three. (She taught through all of her pregnancies.)
She is a home school teacher. She and her husband, artist Rufus Blunk (www.rufusblunk.com), met in the Nicaraguan countryside in 1986 while volunteering on a housebuilding and water system project.
Elizabeth is also the co-director of West Marin Commons, www.westmarincommons.org, a community organization.
