WEBVTT

00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:01.190
Adriene: Hey everyone.

00:00:01.190 --> 00:00:03.290
Welcome to 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene.

00:00:03.290 --> 00:00:05.880
I'm Adriene, and it's day 18.

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:08.080
Let's rock and roll.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:16.740
Adriene: Today we're gonna begin in a standing
posture.

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:24.250
Feet hip width apart, we'll draw the palms
together at the heart.

00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:29.800
Take a second to close your eyes and feel
the soles of your feet underneath you.

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:38.350
Feels where your body weight is shifting maybe
towards the front of the toes or the back.

00:00:38.350 --> 00:00:42.829
Just notice how you feel mentally today, emotionally.

00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:55.889
We'll do a quick scan of the body here as
we begin to notice the breath.

00:00:55.889 --> 00:01:07.280
Drawing your attention inward.

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.210
We have a quick sequence today so we're going
to really commit to marrying the movement

00:01:12.210 --> 00:01:16.699
to the breath, the breath to the movement.

00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:23.520
Bend your knees and inhale, reach the fingertips
up overhead as you breathe in.

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:28.440
And as you exhale flow with the fingertips
down and away.

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:31.800
Inhale, soft knees, reach it up.

00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:37.700
And exhale, flow with the fingertips down
and away.

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:38.700
Three more just like this.

00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:43.550
Getting the juices flowing.

00:01:43.550 --> 00:01:47.820
Exhale, release.

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:54.020
Arms moving with the breath.

00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:55.020
And one more.

00:01:55.020 --> 00:02:00.080
You might trace your fingers with your nose,
integrate the neck.

00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:03.550
And releasing back down.

00:02:03.550 --> 00:02:04.550
Great.

00:02:04.550 --> 00:02:06.420
Bring your feet together, heel-toe heel-toe
the feet together.

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:08.840
Draw the palms together at your heart.

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:09.840
Just a quad-stretch here.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.820
We're going to reach behind, grab right ankle
with right hand and hug that left knee, excuse

00:02:14.820 --> 00:02:17.950
me, right knee, into the center, and breathe
deep here.

00:02:17.950 --> 00:02:22.200
You might reach the left fingertips around
for a deeper stretch.

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:23.589
Everyone lift your hearts.

00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:27.810
Open up through the armpit chest and work
on balance here as we breathe into that right

00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:32.010
quad.

00:02:32.010 --> 00:02:34.569
Tailbone is lengthening down and pressing
through my standing leg.

00:02:34.569 --> 00:02:35.850
One more breath.

00:02:35.850 --> 00:02:40.400
Then exhale, slowly release, and we're just
gonna switch to the other side.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.630
So keep your heart lifted here, grab your
left ankle with your left hand, and squeeze

00:02:44.630 --> 00:02:47.150
that left knee in towards the center line.

00:02:47.150 --> 00:02:51.850
Maybe we reach behind and we find a deeper
stretch here in the left quad as we press

00:02:51.850 --> 00:02:55.120
through that standing leg nice and strong.

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.990
Not locked here in that right knee but nice
soft bend.

00:02:58.990 --> 00:03:02.170
This is really great after a jog or a run.

00:03:02.170 --> 00:03:04.500
So awesome.

00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:07.980
Opening up through the heart and chest.

00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:12.390
Take one more breath here and then we'll gently
release.

00:03:12.390 --> 00:03:16.179
Awesome, if you're not at the front of your
mat, let's walk to it now.

00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:19.570
And on a big breath in we'll reach the arms
up and overhead.

00:03:19.570 --> 00:03:24.109
Exhale, forward fold, diving forward.

00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:29.770
Inhale, lifting up halfway, exhale soften
and bow.

00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:33.810
Step the right foot back, take a couple of
breaths here to explore your low lunge.

00:03:33.810 --> 00:03:36.480
Just notice the tight places today.

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:39.560
Notice the openings, use your breath.

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:45.610
Then we'll plant the palms, slide the left
knee back to meet the right, and slowly lower

00:03:45.610 --> 00:03:48.660
all the way down to the belly.

00:03:48.660 --> 00:03:50.640
Inhale, lift up, Cobra.

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:53.769
Baby Cobra maybe here, to start.

00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:58.530
And then exhale, curl the toes under, press
up through plank, and send it back Downward

00:03:58.530 --> 00:04:00.569
Facing Dog.

00:04:00.569 --> 00:04:05.769
Deep breath in, and deep breath out.

00:04:05.770 --> 00:04:12.250
Step the right foot up, come into your lunge,
take a couple of breaths here to express yourself

00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:13.520
and explore.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.550
Maybe sending the hips back.

00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:21.920
Moving a little side-to-side but staying engaged
and mindful, of course.

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.840
Listening to your body.

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:31.619
Then after a couple breaths we'll rock the
back foot up to meet the front, forward fold.

00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:34.280
Inhale, halfway lift.

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:35.770
Long, beautiful neck.

00:04:35.770 --> 00:04:39.010
And exhale, release, and bow.

00:04:39.010 --> 00:04:44.990
Inhale, spread the fingertips wide, reach
it up towards the sky, and exhale back down

00:04:44.990 --> 00:04:46.210
at the heart.

00:04:46.210 --> 00:04:55.460
Bend the knees, inhale, reach it all the way
up overhead, exhale diving forward, forward

00:04:55.460 --> 00:04:56.880
fold.

00:04:56.880 --> 00:04:59.890
Inhale, lift to flat-back position.

00:04:59.890 --> 00:05:05.380
And exhale, soften, and release down.

00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:06.430
Fingertips come to the mat.

00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:09.490
I step my right foot back into my low lunge.

00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:13.970
Inhale, loop the shoulders, heart radiates
forward.

00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:18.600
Exhale, plant the palms, slide the left toes
back to plank.

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.720
Shift your weight forward, hug the elbows
in, slowly lower down.

00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.500
Cobra or upward facing dog.

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:30.639
Deep breath in and on an exhale back, Downward
Facing Dog.

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.139
Step the right foot up once again.

00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:37.430
Loop the shoulders, open your heart, forward.

00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:42.080
Deep breath in and exhale, rocking that back
foot up to meet the front.

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:43.539
Forward fold.

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:48.200
Inhale, halfway lift, and exhale bow.

00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:55.139
Inhale, reach the fingertips all the way up
and overhead and exhale back down to your

00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.560
heart.

00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.990
Great.

00:05:59.990 --> 00:06:03.009
From here we're going to walk the feet together.

00:06:03.009 --> 00:06:05.430
Interlace the fingertips and lift the right
knee up.

00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:06.460
Catch it here.

00:06:06.460 --> 00:06:07.460
Find that lift.

00:06:07.460 --> 00:06:10.530
Then slide your left fingertips down to grab
your right ankle.

00:06:10.530 --> 00:06:15.638
We're going to think "upward" as we lift that
right ankle to the left hip crease.

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.950
So it might not be there today, it might be
here, or we might be able to peel it up, keeping

00:06:19.950 --> 00:06:22.960
a brightness in this right foot, so an energy
there.

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:28.190
Nice energy in the right foot as I stand up
nice and tall.

00:06:28.190 --> 00:06:31.290
And I press in to my standing leg.

00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:35.560
So maybe I hold onto my right leg here, breathing
deep.

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.560
Or maybe I draw my palms together at the heart.

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.270
Definitely keeping a nice energy in my right
foot here.

00:06:41.270 --> 00:06:42.820
Breathing deep.

00:06:42.820 --> 00:06:47.540
I might just stay here working on balance,
or I might begin to soften and bend in that

00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:50.460
left knee.

00:06:50.460 --> 00:06:53.099
Breathe.

00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:55.740
Awesome.

00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:58.310
To come out of that posture I'll interlace
the fingertips.

00:06:58.310 --> 00:07:00.610
Draw my right knee, catch it here again.

00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:03.080
Soften, relax through that right ankle.

00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:05.300
Squeeze it up towards the heart and then exhale,
release.

00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:06.860
We'll switch to the other side.

00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:09.639
Interlacing, we catch the left knee now.

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:10.970
Press into that standing foot.

00:07:10.970 --> 00:07:13.169
All four corners, firmly.

00:07:13.169 --> 00:07:17.219
Then I'll slide the right fingertips down
to catch my left ankle.

00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:21.419
Think up and over, so I want to maintain this
upward lift as I come into this shape.

00:07:21.419 --> 00:07:24.330
Maybe bringing it to the right hip crease.

00:07:24.330 --> 00:07:27.500
I can hold on with both hands no problem.

00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:32.820
Heart's gonna wanna collapse here but I'm
gonna keep the sternum lifting up.

00:07:32.820 --> 00:07:36.820
Breathe deep.

00:07:36.820 --> 00:07:38.130
Full body awareness.

00:07:38.130 --> 00:07:42.570
We're alive from fingertips to toes.

00:07:42.570 --> 00:07:45.830
The shoulders' are alive, the heart's lifting.

00:07:45.830 --> 00:07:49.789
Maybe I stay here and maybe I practice bringing
the palms together at the heart.

00:07:49.789 --> 00:07:54.710
And bending softly in that right knee.

00:07:54.710 --> 00:08:00.960
Hold onto your focus, find that focal point
out in front, that Drishti place to gaze upon

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:04.169
and this will support you in your balancing
postures.

00:08:04.169 --> 00:08:10.500
Okay so now interlace the fingertips, hug
everything to the midline as I catch my left

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:12.040
knee once again.

00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.729
Soften through the left foot and ankle.

00:08:14.729 --> 00:08:16.490
Squeeze that left knee up.

00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:17.900
And then we'll release.

00:08:17.900 --> 00:08:20.969
Awesome, shake it off, inhale, reach it up.

00:08:20.970 --> 00:08:24.460
And exhale, diving forward.

00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:27.008
Inhale, halfway lift.

00:08:27.009 --> 00:08:29.550
And exhale, bow.

00:08:29.550 --> 00:08:34.140
Step or hop it back to plank here, nice and
swift, picking up the pace a little.

00:08:34.140 --> 00:08:38.130
Shift your weight forward, hug the elbows
in, pull them back as you go through your

00:08:38.130 --> 00:08:39.130
Vinyasa.

00:08:39.130 --> 00:08:42.099
So use your breath to flow.

00:08:42.099 --> 00:08:46.310
On an exhale we send it back, Downward Facing
Dog.

00:08:46.310 --> 00:08:49.530
Drop the left heel, inhale, slide the left
leg high.

00:08:49.530 --> 00:08:53.660
On an exhale step it all the way up and into
your lunge.

00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:56.130
Pivoting on the back foot as we rise up tall.

00:08:56.130 --> 00:08:58.220
Warrior 1, synch into that front knee.

00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:01.550
Notice how this pose starts to evolve and
grow with practice.

00:09:01.550 --> 00:09:06.790
Inhale, pay attention to the details as you
reach the fingertips up, then exhale, Warrior

00:09:06.790 --> 00:09:09.180
2.

00:09:09.180 --> 00:09:13.819
Reaching forward, up and back, we come into
Peaceful Warrior, or Reverse Warrior.

00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:14.820
Inhale in.

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:17.860
Exhale all the way back down to your lunge.

00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:20.089
And we Vinyasa.

00:09:20.089 --> 00:09:29.520
Shifting the weight forward, plug in and together
we meet in Downward Facing Dog.

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:34.149
Drop the right heel, inhale, slide the left
leg high on an exhale bring it up into your

00:09:34.149 --> 00:09:35.149
lunge.

00:09:35.149 --> 00:09:36.660
Pivot on the back foot.

00:09:36.660 --> 00:09:39.050
Bend that front knee deeply and we inhale.

00:09:39.050 --> 00:09:40.120
Rise up, Warrior 1.

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.360
Go through your checklist.

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.640
Pay attention to the details here.

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:50.890
Find your breath.

00:09:50.890 --> 00:09:55.540
When you're ready, opening out into Warrior
2 nice and strong.

00:09:55.540 --> 00:10:03.060
Then inhale, reach the left fingertips forward,
up and back, Peaceful Warrior.

00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:06.119
Keep length in both side bodies.

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:10.710
All four sides of the torso lifting, lengthening
here as you sink into that front knee.

00:10:10.710 --> 00:10:16.450
Take a deep breath in and then exhale all
the way back to your lunge.

00:10:16.450 --> 00:10:17.450
Great.

00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:19.170
Back foot comes up to meet the front.

00:10:19.170 --> 00:10:20.170
Forward fold.

00:10:20.170 --> 00:10:21.360
We inhale.

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.360
Halfway lift.

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.550
And exhale bow.

00:10:24.550 --> 00:10:27.819
Inhale, reach it all the way up.

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:34.740
And exhale, hands to the heart.

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:38.760
Soft knees, inhale, reach it up.

00:10:38.760 --> 00:10:42.580
Stick with it, folding forward.

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:49.420
Inhale, halfway lift and exhale bow.

00:10:49.420 --> 00:10:50.719
Plant the palms.

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.780
Step or hop it back to plank.

00:10:53.780 --> 00:10:59.480
And we'll shift our weight forward, hug the
elbows into the side body and lower down.

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:06.510
Inhale to Cobra or Up Dog, and exhale to Downward
Facing Dog.

00:11:06.510 --> 00:11:09.540
Drop the left heel, inhale, slide the right
leg high.

00:11:09.540 --> 00:11:12.780
Exhale, step it all the way up into your lunge.

00:11:12.780 --> 00:11:17.040
Pivot on that back foot again, we rise up
strong, Warrior 1.

00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:24.680
Deep breath in, and deep breath out, relax
the shoulders.

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:26.989
Great, opening out Warrior 2.

00:11:26.990 --> 00:11:29.390
Take a deep breath in.

00:11:29.390 --> 00:11:33.750
Sink deep into that front leg, make sure you
can see your front big toe as you exhale out.

00:11:33.750 --> 00:11:35.330
Inhale, reach forward.

00:11:35.330 --> 00:11:37.890
Up and back, Peaceful Warrior.

00:11:37.890 --> 00:11:43.420
And exhale all the way back down to your lunge.

00:11:43.420 --> 00:11:46.490
Plant the palms, step the right toes back.

00:11:46.490 --> 00:11:52.150
Take a Vinyasa here or take a rest.

00:11:52.150 --> 00:12:00.290
Child's Pose.

00:12:00.290 --> 00:12:05.339
And together we'll meet in Downward Facing
Dog.

00:12:05.339 --> 00:12:08.649
Drop the right heel, inhale, slide the left
leg up high.

00:12:08.649 --> 00:12:12.310
On an exhale bring that left knee up and step
it into your lunge.

00:12:12.310 --> 00:12:18.380
Pivot on the back foot, we rise up strong,
Warrior 1.

00:12:18.380 --> 00:12:23.750
Relax the shoulders, create space as you build
strength.

00:12:23.750 --> 00:12:27.790
When you're ready we'll open out into Warrior
2 nice and strong.

00:12:27.790 --> 00:12:30.870
Try to keep the heart lifted, breath flowing.

00:12:30.870 --> 00:12:37.610
We'll reach the fingertips forward, up and
back, Peaceful Warrior.

00:12:37.610 --> 00:12:41.950
Inhale in and exhale all the way back down,
and same thing.

00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:53.340
Take a Vinyasa here or lower the knees and
take a rest.

00:12:53.340 --> 00:13:05.550
Then slowly we'll meet back Downward Facing
Dog.

00:13:05.550 --> 00:13:08.199
Drop the left heel, inhale, lift the right
leg high.

00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.520
This time we're gonna bed the right knee.

00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:12.649
We're just gonna draw slow circles with the
right knee.

00:13:12.649 --> 00:13:13.810
Warming up through the hip.

00:13:13.810 --> 00:13:16.500
One way and then the other.

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:20.970
Trying to hug energy to the midline so we're
not just crashing into this left shoulder.

00:13:20.970 --> 00:13:22.700
We have full body awareness.

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:26.673
Then we're gonna switch, drop the right foot,
lift the left knee high, and same on the left

00:13:26.673 --> 00:13:29.420
knee high, and same thing on the other side.

00:13:29.420 --> 00:13:34.089
This is hard work, particularly if you're
new to Downward Dog practice, so stick with

00:13:34.090 --> 00:13:36.400
your breath.

00:13:36.400 --> 00:13:37.400
You got it.

00:13:37.400 --> 00:13:39.949
And then we'll lower the left foot down.

00:13:39.950 --> 00:13:44.420
Great, bend both knees, belly comes to the
tops of the thighs, we inhale in and on an

00:13:44.420 --> 00:13:47.349
exhale hop up towards the front.

00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:50.790
Or you can go for that slow walk, too.

00:13:50.790 --> 00:13:52.649
Forward fold.

00:13:52.649 --> 00:13:56.339
Inhale, halfway lift.

00:13:56.339 --> 00:13:57.930
And exhale bow.

00:13:57.930 --> 00:14:02.370
Inhale, reach it all the way up, full body
stretch.

00:14:02.370 --> 00:14:03.899
Maybe slight back bend here at the top.

00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:07.350
And then exhale hands to heart.

00:14:07.350 --> 00:14:14.430
Close your eyes, ground through your feet,
and observe your breath.

00:14:14.430 --> 00:14:16.010
Shifting your weight to your left foot.

00:14:16.010 --> 00:14:18.589
Going for a deep hip stretch here.

00:14:18.589 --> 00:14:20.790
Working on our balance and stability.

00:14:20.790 --> 00:14:24.620
We're gonna interlace the fingertips, catch
that right knee, find it here first.

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:26.450
Again, this might be your pose today.

00:14:26.450 --> 00:14:29.050
Working here on that opposition.

00:14:29.050 --> 00:14:33.930
Grounding down while finding that upward current
of energy.

00:14:33.930 --> 00:14:38.910
I slide the left fingertips down, I grab that
right ankle, alive through my right foot,

00:14:38.910 --> 00:14:40.839
and I come to this shape here.

00:14:40.839 --> 00:14:43.450
Breathing as I lift up through the heart.

00:14:43.450 --> 00:14:47.720
So sometimes in balancing postures we begin
to hold our breath, so keep breathing nice,

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.540
long, smooth, deep breaths.

00:14:50.540 --> 00:14:51.540
Soften through that left knee.

00:14:51.540 --> 00:14:56.599
In fact, bend it nice and generously here.

00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.260
And then maybe I stay here or maybe I bring
my palms together at the heart.

00:15:00.260 --> 00:15:02.149
Inhale in, exhale.

00:15:02.149 --> 00:15:04.790
Slowly, keeping the heart lifted and open.

00:15:04.790 --> 00:15:06.490
I'm going to begin to fold forward.

00:15:06.490 --> 00:15:11.019
Now I might just get this far, breathing into
that hip, pressing up and out of my standing

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:13.029
leg.

00:15:13.029 --> 00:15:18.240
Or maybe I journey a little bit further into
my forward fold.

00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.209
Fingertips either coming to a block or to
the earth.

00:15:22.209 --> 00:15:27.310
If you're new to the practice you might just
stay here or lift it here.

00:15:27.310 --> 00:15:29.979
Breathing into that hip.

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:34.190
So we have lots of different places to go.

00:15:34.190 --> 00:15:37.130
Listen to your body.

00:15:37.130 --> 00:15:42.980
For more advanced practice you might even
come into a low squat, lifting that left heel

00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:48.410
off the ground, and maybe even eventually
bringing the palms together at the heart.

00:15:48.410 --> 00:15:49.850
I start with just one.

00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:50.850
Yikes!

00:15:50.850 --> 00:15:52.110
So we're at all different levels here.

00:15:52.110 --> 00:15:53.550
This is crazy.

00:15:53.550 --> 00:15:57.810
Find your breath.

00:15:57.810 --> 00:16:02.829
Then connect to your core.

00:16:02.829 --> 00:16:06.630
Connect to your foundation as you slowly roll
it up.

00:16:06.630 --> 00:16:08.850
Lifting sternum again, up to the thumbs.

00:16:08.850 --> 00:16:13.639
We find a nice lengthening up through the
crown of the head.

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.810
I had a head rush there.

00:16:15.810 --> 00:16:17.609
And then exhale, release.

00:16:17.610 --> 00:16:18.610
Awesome.

00:16:18.610 --> 00:16:23.519
Take a second to shake it out, smile laugh
it off.

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.850
And we'll do the same thing on the other side.

00:16:24.850 --> 00:16:26.710
So palms come together.

00:16:26.710 --> 00:16:27.710
We zip the legs.

00:16:27.710 --> 00:16:32.639
We stand up nice and tall, press into that
right foot as you peel the left heel up.

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.339
Interlace, catch your left knee.

00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:36.199
Again, find that opposition.

00:16:36.199 --> 00:16:40.389
So we find balance by working with those opposing
forces.

00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:43.120
Kind of a great metaphor for life too, right?

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:49.800
How do we find balance between the sun and
the moon?

00:16:49.800 --> 00:16:53.920
Sliding the right fingertips down, wake up
your left foot, to protect that left knee,

00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:55.110
and we'll think up and over.

00:16:55.110 --> 00:17:00.769
So again, we're not just cranking into the
postures but really finding a buoyancy as

00:17:00.769 --> 00:17:03.240
we explore this shape here.

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:08.669
Then we'll begin to bend the right knee and
we just see where it's at here on this side.

00:17:08.669 --> 00:17:10.419
Maybe palms come up.

00:17:10.419 --> 00:17:13.549
Maybe we hold onto that left ankle.

00:17:13.549 --> 00:17:20.658
You will find that focusing on one point,
your gaze upon one focal point in Drishti

00:17:20.659 --> 00:17:23.888
will really help find stability.

00:17:23.888 --> 00:17:24.948
Calm the breath.

00:17:24.949 --> 00:17:31.539
We inhale in and maybe we begin to send it
forward.

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:33.919
Full body experience here, whoa.

00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:44.230
And maybe the fingertips release to the earth,
or block.

00:17:44.230 --> 00:17:50.350
And again, if you are further along in your
practice and you feel like it's yummy you

00:17:50.350 --> 00:17:55.580
might lift that right heel and slowly lower
down.

00:17:55.580 --> 00:18:06.158
Maybe practicing bringing the palms together
at the heart through, over time.

00:18:06.159 --> 00:18:18.350
Breathe, breathe, breathe, wherever you are.

00:18:18.350 --> 00:18:21.168
Then slowly we'll come back up if you're down.

00:18:21.169 --> 00:18:22.299
Joining our friends who are here.

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:28.109
And then we squeeze the left knee towards
the heart.

00:18:28.109 --> 00:18:32.259
Resist the urge to just fall out of it, try
to stay in control.

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:37.639
And then exhale, release, and shake it off.

00:18:37.639 --> 00:18:40.080
Awesome.

00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:41.960
We're gonna take it down to the ground now.

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.389
Beautiful work, everyone.

00:18:43.389 --> 00:18:45.998
It's our 18th day so we're a little crazy.

00:18:45.999 --> 00:18:47.039
Like our 18th birthday.

00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.570
So if that was fun then great.

00:18:49.570 --> 00:18:51.350
If it was frustrating, moving on.

00:18:51.350 --> 00:18:52.350
All good.

00:18:52.350 --> 00:18:54.928
Here we go, to the front of our mat if you're
not there already.

00:18:54.929 --> 00:19:02.700
Inhale, reach it up, and nice refreshing breath
out as we forward fold.

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:06.350
Shake the head yes, shake the head a little
bit no.

00:19:06.350 --> 00:19:09.918
Then inhale, halfway lift.

00:19:09.919 --> 00:19:13.619
And exhale, breathe down.

00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:14.759
Awesome.

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:21.369
We're gonna plant the palms, step the toes
back, lower the knees, swing the legs to one

00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:24.449
side, and we'll come on to seated.

00:19:24.450 --> 00:19:25.510
Great.

00:19:25.510 --> 00:19:29.340
Go ahead and shift your weight all the way
to your back.

00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:34.539
I'll move my mic here.

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:39.210
Okay, hug both knees into the chest.

00:19:39.210 --> 00:19:42.720
Then bring your palms to your knees and let's
take it wide here, so we're gonna open up

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:49.270
the knees, breathe, keep the feet soft, breathe
into the hips, keep it nice and easy, breezy

00:19:49.270 --> 00:19:50.509
beautiful.

00:19:50.509 --> 00:20:00.330
Relaxing your shoulders and feeling your yoga
mat support you, support your back.

00:20:00.330 --> 00:20:03.730
One more breath here.

00:20:03.730 --> 00:20:10.619
Lengthen the tailbone down and out.

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:18.289
Then we'll slowly release the soles of the
feet to the mat, and slide the right leg down,

00:20:18.289 --> 00:20:19.850
followed by the left.

00:20:19.850 --> 00:20:24.119
Let your hands rest gently on the fronts of
your hip creases here, elbows relaxed down

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:25.259
at your sides.

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:30.509
Just take a second to windshield wiper the
toes.

00:20:30.509 --> 00:20:37.509
Back and forth, back and forth.

00:20:37.509 --> 00:20:43.200
Then we'll slowly release the right arm out,
followed by the left.

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.620
Take a couple seconds here to rock the head
gently side-to-side.

00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:51.939
If there's anything else you'd like to do,
fulfilling the body before you relax today,

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:53.110
do it now.

00:20:53.110 --> 00:20:54.519
Otherwise I'll see you tomorrow.

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.519
Great work, my friends.

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.519
Take good care.

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:56.520
Namaste.
