00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.829
(bright upbeat piano music)

00:00:18.104 --> 00:00:20.070
- Hey everyone!
Welcome to Breath,

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:22.150
your 30 day yoga journey.

00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:26.949
I'm Adriene and this is Benji 
and you found us, welcome!

00:00:26.949 --> 00:00:28.870
This is the place.

00:00:28.870 --> 00:00:32.050
You made it and
this is the right time.

00:00:32.050 --> 00:00:33.510
This is a welcome video, okay?

00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:36.710
There's no yoga today so just
in case you didn't know that,

00:00:36.710 --> 00:00:41.749
I wanted to make sure that you
knew that today is about getting

00:00:41.749 --> 00:00:46.670
connected and committing to
the next 30 days together.

00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:49.429
So we'll begin tomorrow,
Day 1, with the yoga.

00:00:49.429 --> 00:00:52.469
In the meantime, wherever
you're watching this video,

00:00:52.469 --> 00:00:54.649
maybe on your couch,
in your bed,

00:00:54.649 --> 00:00:59.229
on the ground, in a pillow
fort, just sit up nice and tall.

00:01:00.012 --> 00:01:03.397
And we're gonna take a
couple of breaths together.

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.180
So wherever you are,
find length in your spine.

00:01:09.081 --> 00:01:10.300
And nice and easy,

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:13.820
I'll invite us to take
a deep breath in together.

00:01:13.820 --> 00:01:15.247
Here we go.

00:01:16.641 --> 00:01:18.301
And out together.

00:01:19.988 --> 00:01:23.134
And big inhale in together.

00:01:24.149 --> 00:01:28.027
Nothin' fancy,
and exhale out together.

00:01:28.027 --> 00:01:31.301
And one more time,
big inhale in.

00:01:31.301 --> 00:01:32.248
And this time as you exhale,

00:01:32.248 --> 00:01:35.046
relax your shoulders 
down, down, down.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.079
And we're here.

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.279
So first thing's first, I want
to give you a couple little

00:01:42.279 --> 00:01:44.639
things that you might
want to bring to class.

00:01:44.639 --> 00:01:49.159
Ultimately, the Yoga With
Adriene at-home yoga invitation

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.319
and the experience
doesn't require much,

00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.360
just your willingness
to be present and,

00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:56.530
of course, you have to show up.

00:01:56.530 --> 00:01:58.729
The hardest part is showing up.

00:01:58.729 --> 00:02:02.960
I promise you the most difficult
and challenging thing of this

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:06.810
next 30 day journey is
going to be getting on that mat.

00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:10.549
So as long as you get
yourself there, we will connect.

00:02:10.549 --> 00:02:12.990
Benji will be our cheerleader.

00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:16.209
And together we'll
uncover the rest.

00:02:16.209 --> 00:02:18.959
So if you have a
yoga mat, bring it.

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:19.959
It'll be useful.

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:22.290
If you don't have a
yoga mat, that's okay.

00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:25.459
Again, it's very much in the 
Yoga With Adriene wheelhouse

00:02:25.459 --> 00:02:27.349
to work with what you have.

00:02:27.349 --> 00:02:29.649
So you can work with
just a hard surface.

00:02:29.649 --> 00:02:31.690
If it's carpet that's okay.

00:02:31.690 --> 00:02:34.099
But if you have a mat,
bring it to class.

00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:38.290
If you have a blanket
or a towel, bring it.

00:02:38.290 --> 00:02:39.900
If you have a
yoga block, bring it.

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:41.160
We just want to have something,

00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:43.069
a little something that
you can sit up on.

00:02:43.069 --> 00:02:46.340
This can be a big bath
towel or a big beach towel.

00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:50.330
You don't have to
have a yoga blanket.

00:02:50.330 --> 00:02:53.489
This can be anything that you
may have at home that will help

00:02:53.489 --> 00:02:57.939
cushion your seat and help lift
your hips a bit so that you can

00:02:57.939 --> 00:03:00.620
come into this position that
we will be coming to a lot

00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:03.432
as we focus on our breath.

00:03:04.635 --> 00:03:06.780
Wear comfortable clothing.

00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:08.959
Not so difficult, right?

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:12.430
Wear things that
you can move easy in.

00:03:12.430 --> 00:03:16.569
And finally, forget what you
think you know about yoga.

00:03:16.569 --> 00:03:19.220
When you come tomorrow,
come with an open mind.

00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:24.400
Come with an open heart and just
be willing to see what happens.

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.909
I will do my best to guide
you and offer modifications.

00:03:27.909 --> 00:03:30.560
We're casting a wide net.
Please know that you're never

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.200
gonna be alone with this practice.

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:35.200
There's always going to
be someone practicing live,

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:38.342
in real-time, with you,
which is pretty special.

00:03:38.342 --> 00:03:41.630
And ultimately, if you just
come to the mat to breathe,

00:03:41.630 --> 00:03:46.175
I think you're going to feel
the benefits of this practice.

00:03:47.579 --> 00:03:50.310
So if you don't mind, let's
bring the palms together and

00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:53.180
close with one
final deep breath in.

00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.360
Here we go.
In through the nose.

00:03:57.430 --> 00:03:59.659
And out through the nose.

00:04:00.629 --> 00:04:04.619
You can close your eyes here
and just set a little intention

00:04:04.619 --> 00:04:08.290
for the next 30 days.

00:04:08.290 --> 00:04:10.331
Why are you here?

00:04:11.969 --> 00:04:16.512
What do you think
pulled you here?

00:04:17.770 --> 00:04:19.803
And if you don't know yet,
that's awesome, too.

00:04:19.803 --> 00:04:21.277
That's exciting.

00:04:26.308 --> 00:04:28.240
Alright, take a second,
sit up nice and tall.

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.611
Palms together in prayer.

00:04:32.917 --> 00:04:35.942
And we'll inhale in again.

00:04:35.942 --> 00:04:40.447
And exhale to bow the head to
the heart and we will whisper,

00:04:41.710 --> 00:04:43.010
Namaste.

00:04:44.806 --> 00:04:46.440
Thanks everyone. I can't wait.

00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:49.381
I will see you tomorrow.

00:04:49.381 --> 00:04:53.984
