Wake & Bake

About This Class

Wake & Bake is a short, approachable morning flow that guides students through a full-body wake-up sequence starting seated and progressing through tabletop, floor work, and a brief standing finish. Desiree opens with seated shoulder rolls, spinal flexion and extension, chest openers, wrist and finger dexterity drills, and gentle seated twists. The class then moves to tabletop for shoulder mobilization, leg extensions, and cat-cow-style undulations before transitioning into runner's lunges and low lunge hip openers. A floor-based seated sequence follows with hamstring stretches (with optional strap), supine twists, figure-four hip openers, and happy baby. The class closes with a brief plank-to-chair-pose flow, baby cobra, and a descent into downward facing dog before a standing forward fold and a final heart-opening finish. The tone is warm, encouraging, and accessible — Desiree consistently offers modifications and keeps the pace relaxed so students can truly tune into their bodies first thing in the morning.
