APT Realign — Free Lesson Plan | Om Story Yoga

Free Lesson Plan  ·  APT Realign Series

A practice built
for how your
body actually
moves.

When the pelvis is out of its natural resting place, the whole body compensates — low back, hips, breath. This free 34-minute movement practice is an invitation to come back to centre, one layer at a time.

About this practice

Your pelvis is
the centre of
everything.

When the pelvis shifts out of its natural resting place — loading the low back, drawing the hip flexors short — everything above and below has to adapt. Most people live in that adaptation without noticing it. It shows up as tightness, fatigue, a dull ache that never quite resolves.

This is not a clinical protocol. It's a yoga and movement practice designed to bring awareness, ease, and space back to a part of the body that's often carried too much for too long. Move slowly. Stay curious. Let sensation be your teacher.

The five phases

Arrive Ground the body. Release surface tension. Let the floor receive you.
Activate Wake up mobility, breath, and the supporting muscles of the hips and core.
Build Deeper hip and psoas work — bringing length and attention to the front body.
Integrate Strength and stability — teaching the body to hold what it just released.
Restore Wind down and settle. Nervous system ease. No agenda.

The full sequence

34 minutes.
Thirteen movements.

Each movement is filmed and waiting in the @omstoryyoga Story Highlights. Evelyn has prepared them all — follow along from your phone, in your own time.

Phase Pose / Movement Time Guidance Part
Arrive Tall Seat with Flat Back towel coil under sitting bones 1 min Elevate the sitting bones — let the floor fill the gaps, and the spine find its length. Part 26
Arrive Diaphragmatic Breathing 3-part breathing / Viloma pranayama 1 min Deep core breathing in Happy Baby. Sacrum grounded — feel the breath move the whole torso. Part 24
Activate Seated Side Bend oblique stretch 2 min Sitting bones stay grounded — let the opening come from the side body, not the hip. Stretch Routine
Activate Hip 90/90 × 2 variations — choose from gallery 3 min 5 variations available — choose what your body is ready for today. Both sits bones stay heavy. Part 18
Activate Table Top — Knee to Elbow core + hip flexor awareness 2 min Spine stays long as the knee draws in — feel the core engage without holding the breath. New
Activate Psoas Release × 2 variations 4 min A slow, attentive release of the deep hip flexors. Adjust for whichever side holds more — this is common. Part 20
Build High Lunge front foot on 2 blocks or chunky books 3 min Both feet grounded, back knee rotates gently toward the floor. Six variations available — find yours. Part 23
Build Unbalanced Body Adjustment hip routine 3 min Notice each side without judgement. The body adapts — this is where you meet it with something different. Hip Routine
Integrate Unbalanced Body Adjustment continued — hip care 3 min Work each side with care. Awareness replaces compensation — there's no need to push through. Part 14
Integrate Standing Pelvic Awareness realignment cues 3 min Find the pelvis in its natural resting place. The body holds itself — no gripping required. Part 11
Integrate Single Bridge glute + hamstring awareness 2 min Press through the heel — feel the glutes engage before the hips rise. Low back stays long and easeful. Part 7
Restore Reclined Twist spinal release 3 min Shoulders stay heavy. Let the twist follow the exhale — softer is almost always better here. Bedtime Routine
Restore Savasana or legs-up-the-wall variation 5 min No agenda. Let the nervous system settle. Stay as long as you need. Part 8
