WEBVTT

00:00:00.417 --> 00:00:02.583
- What's up, party people?
And welcome to Dedicate,

00:00:02.583 --> 00:00:04.041
your 30 day yoga journey.

00:00:04.041 --> 00:00:06.917
It's Day 23.

00:00:06.917 --> 00:00:09.959
And today's practice
invites you to explore

00:00:09.959 --> 00:00:12.458
a joyful state.

00:00:12.458 --> 00:00:15.291
Hop into something comfy,
and let's get started.

00:00:16.625 --> 00:00:20.375
(bright music)

00:00:39.708 --> 00:00:43.625
Okay, my friends,
welcome back to your mat.

00:00:43.625 --> 00:00:46.083
Benji's here to
welcome you, as well.

00:00:46.083 --> 00:00:47.417
We're so glad you're here

00:00:47.417 --> 00:00:51.250
and today's practice is
about finding the joy,

00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:53.917
the ease, the pleasure.

00:00:53.917 --> 00:00:56.000
So I really wanted to
call this day, "Pleasure."

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.333
That's the underground
name for this practice.

00:01:00.125 --> 00:01:03.625
It is YouTube, so, you know,
we're gonna call it joyful.

00:01:04.583 --> 00:01:08.792
Yesterday we explored Sthira,
this steadiness. Right?

00:01:08.792 --> 00:01:10.542
This alertness without tension.

00:01:10.542 --> 00:01:13.166
Today we're gonna
layer on the good stuff.

00:01:13.166 --> 00:01:15.208
The ease, that Sukha.

00:01:15.208 --> 00:01:18.250
So, come on down to the ground,
come on down to all fours.

00:01:19.333 --> 00:01:21.667
And just want you to
keep that in mind,

00:01:21.667 --> 00:01:24.500
even as you come into
this first little posture,

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:26.000
Tabletop Position.

00:01:27.458 --> 00:01:31.458
Let your breath
reflect that of Sukha, or ease.

00:01:31.458 --> 00:01:33.250
A joyful breath in and out.

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:38.250
Let's admit, sometimes
a breath can be, you know,

00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:42.000
hard, to deepen or to
just breathe consciously.

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.708
It seems ridiculous
that breathing could be hard.

00:01:44.708 --> 00:01:47.000
Sometimes it can
feel rather arduous.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.834
See if you can find a soft,
light, easy breath today.

00:01:49.834 --> 00:01:52.083
Benji, come here! (smacks lips)
Come on, bud.

00:01:55.083 --> 00:01:57.208
So, as you start to
gently deepen your breath,

00:01:57.208 --> 00:01:59.291
you're just gonna
slowly rock the hips.

00:01:59.291 --> 00:02:01.625
Tick-tock them a little,
side to side.

00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:06.000
Start to bring your
gaze down to the earth

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.166
or soften your gaze, and
just land here on your mat.

00:02:10.834 --> 00:02:13.083
Breathing deep.

00:02:13.083 --> 00:02:16.083
Connecting perhaps
to that audible breath,

00:02:16.083 --> 00:02:18.000
that ocean sound.

00:02:20.333 --> 00:02:22.542
Awesome, then we'll
bring the hip points

00:02:22.542 --> 00:02:25.375
right over the knees and
you're gonna drop the elbows

00:02:25.375 --> 00:02:29.291
exactly where the hands were.

00:02:29.291 --> 00:02:32.125
And yep, you guessed it, we're
gonna walk the knees back,

00:02:32.125 --> 00:02:35.417
finding our Anahatasana,
our Heart to Earth Pose here.

00:02:35.417 --> 00:02:36.792
A little Puppy Posture.

00:02:39.625 --> 00:02:42.500
Take a second to
notice how you feel

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.333
as you stick your
tail up in the air,

00:02:44.333 --> 00:02:47.542
rotate through the pelvis,
and invite your heart

00:02:47.542 --> 00:02:49.000
to melt down to the earth.

00:02:51.708 --> 00:02:56.000
So, being aware of what a
joyful energy state feels like

00:02:56.792 --> 00:02:59.333
will take you places,
let me tell ya.

00:03:01.542 --> 00:03:04.000
So, find the joy today,
find the Sukha,

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.375
the softness, the pleasure.

00:03:06.375 --> 00:03:09.834
Option here now to bring
that tick-tock of the hips

00:03:09.834 --> 00:03:12.000
back nice and slow.

00:03:13.333 --> 00:03:15.500
Listening to the
sound of your breath.

00:03:16.375 --> 00:03:18.542
Staying connected
through the hands

00:03:18.542 --> 00:03:19.875
and the tops of the feet.

00:03:21.250 --> 00:03:22.792
Should feel really yummy.

00:03:22.792 --> 00:03:24.250
Do it a couple more times.

00:03:24.250 --> 00:03:26.208
Breathe deeply.

00:03:28.125 --> 00:03:30.083
Alright, then here we go.

00:03:30.083 --> 00:03:32.000
We're gonna carve
a line with the nose,

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.458
slowly shift forward,
slide on into home base.

00:03:36.458 --> 00:03:39.000
Slide on into home as
you come to a Forearm Plank.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.000
And you're like, "Girl, Forearm
Plank does not feel like home,"

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.375
but can we find that?

00:03:45.375 --> 00:03:48.500
Can we take that approach?

00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:51.792
So finding that Sukha as
you breathe in and out here.

00:03:51.792 --> 00:03:54.917
Drawing a low belly in,
hugging the ribs

00:03:54.917 --> 00:03:56.750
in toward your spine.

00:03:56.750 --> 00:03:59.000
Take a deep breath in here

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.583
and then exhale, soft landing.

00:04:01.583 --> 00:04:04.000
Slowly lower down.

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.959
Slide the hands in
line with the rib cage,

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:08.375
hug the elbows in.

00:04:08.375 --> 00:04:10.917
We're gonna do this
with a little breath,

00:04:10.917 --> 00:04:11.708
so, little flows.

00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:13.959
You're gonna press the pubic
bone down into the earth,

00:04:13.959 --> 00:04:17.750
tuck the chin,
inhale, rise up, Baby Cobra.

00:04:17.750 --> 00:04:22.000
Then exhale, forehead kisses
the mat, release.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.708
Good, twice more, inhale, find
a little wave of breath here.

00:04:25.708 --> 00:04:30.000
We rise and then
it crests and falls.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.750
Start with the
chin tucked into chest.

00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:33.500
Last one, inhale, rise.

00:04:35.625 --> 00:04:38.125
Exhale, slowly release.

00:04:39.166 --> 00:04:41.000
Beautiful,
forehead kisses the mat.

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.959
We'll curl the toes under,
press up to all fours.

00:04:45.542 --> 00:04:49.250
From here take a deep
breath in, curl the toes under,

00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:51.375
walk the hands out
as wide as your mat,

00:04:51.375 --> 00:04:54.500
and then peel,
so find a softness,

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:58.125
a pleasure, as you
peel the tailbone up,

00:04:58.125 --> 00:05:00.542
changing the
quality of your movement.

00:05:00.542 --> 00:05:03.750
Perhaps coming up in a
Downward Dog in a new way,

00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:07.792
with a new sensibility,
or at least being open to it.

00:05:09.792 --> 00:05:13.000
Beautiful, peddle it out,
head below the heart here,

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.750
we breathe a
little bit differently.

00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.458
Differently, differently.

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:22.917
Alright, doing great.

00:05:22.917 --> 00:05:26.333
From here, inhale to
bend the knees, look forward.

00:05:26.333 --> 00:05:29.291
Exhale to step
to the top, rag doll.

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:32.750
So, take a nice
wide stance today,

00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:35.000
feet hip width apart or
just a little bit wider,

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.000
and bend your knees generously,
grab opposite elbow,

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.333
and let's love on
the lower back here.

00:05:40.333 --> 00:05:43.792
Breathe in deep here,
knees are bent.

00:05:43.792 --> 00:05:47.000
Sending some love
to the low back body.

00:05:48.333 --> 00:05:53.333
And then you can find a
soft and easy sway here.

00:05:53.333 --> 00:05:55.959
Get into it,
find the joy.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.458
And then
we'll come back to center.

00:06:02.458 --> 00:06:04.959
Release, moving with the breath.

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.500
Inhale, halfway lift,
find length.

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:11.000
And exhale, find a softness
as you bring it back down,

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.875
Forward Fold.

00:06:12.875 --> 00:06:15.834
Beautiful,
walk the feet in just a bit.

00:06:15.834 --> 00:06:19.166
Plant the palms,
step it back to Plank.

00:06:19.166 --> 00:06:22.875
So, now, marrying that
steadiness from yesterday

00:06:22.875 --> 00:06:26.000
with a little softness,
a little joy.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.375
Breathing in.

00:06:31.208 --> 00:06:33.708
Breathing out as you
press away from the yoga mat.

00:06:33.708 --> 00:06:35.500
You're here for one more breath.
You're doing awesome.

00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:37.000
Deep breath in.

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.083
Feel free to lower the
knees here if you like.

00:06:39.083 --> 00:06:42.125
We'll hug the elbows in and
lower all the way to the belly.

00:06:43.166 --> 00:06:46.000
Beautiful,
fingertips are going to,

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.917
sorry,  got excited,

00:06:47.917 --> 00:06:49.417
come off the mat here,
we're gonna press

00:06:49.417 --> 00:06:51.000
into the tops of the feet.

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.875
Hey, buddy!

00:06:52.875 --> 00:06:54.917
And here we go.
(laughs) Perfect!

00:06:54.917 --> 00:06:57.041
We're gonna draw the
shoulder blades together,

00:06:57.041 --> 00:07:00.000
press into the pubic bone,
inhale, tuck the chin.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.041
Move with your
breath like a wave.

00:07:02.041 --> 00:07:04.417
Inhale, it cascades
all the way up.

00:07:04.417 --> 00:07:07.000
And exhale, it falls.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.750
Twice more, inhale,

00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:10.917
we rise up, nice and slow.

00:07:12.083 --> 00:07:13.333
Exhale,

00:07:14.625 --> 00:07:17.291
riding the wave,
got into it, sorry.

00:07:17.291 --> 00:07:20.792
Inhale one more time,
we rise up with the breath.

00:07:22.125 --> 00:07:25.417
And exhale, find what feels good

00:07:25.417 --> 00:07:27.417
as you release with care.

00:07:27.417 --> 00:07:29.125
Bring the hands
underneath the shoulders,

00:07:29.125 --> 00:07:33.291
curl the toes under, press up
to all fours or Plank Pose.

00:07:34.041 --> 00:07:36.792
Beautiful, Downward Facing Dog.

00:07:36.792 --> 00:07:38.125
Find your breath again.

00:07:39.458 --> 00:07:44.041
Listen to the wisdom of your
heart here, not your brain.

00:07:47.291 --> 00:07:49.917
Beautiful,
draw the low belly in.

00:07:49.917 --> 00:07:52.125
Slowly coming through the spine,

00:07:52.125 --> 00:07:54.625
back to that Plank Posture,
we got this.

00:07:54.625 --> 00:07:56.667
Can also be here in Half Plank.

00:07:56.667 --> 00:07:58.208
We're breathing deep.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.000
Toes are as wide
as the hip points,

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.375
so I have a nice wide base here.

00:08:03.375 --> 00:08:06.375
I'm gonna inhale,
press into the left palm,

00:08:06.375 --> 00:08:08.792
come onto the outer
edge of my left foot,

00:08:08.792 --> 00:08:11.083
inner arch of my right foot,
reach for the sky,

00:08:11.083 --> 00:08:13.917
grab something, then
bring it all the way back.

00:08:13.917 --> 00:08:17.000
Come through, Plank, and then
take it to the other side.

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.208
Opening up, reach up,
find a softness in the fingers,

00:08:20.208 --> 00:08:22.625
then bring it back.
Turning to the left,

00:08:22.625 --> 00:08:25.250
inhale, reach for the sky.

00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:27.708
Exhale, bring it down.

00:08:27.708 --> 00:08:30.000
Turning to the right,
give yourself an image.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.250
Like, picking a piece
of fruit off the tree.

00:08:32.250 --> 00:08:34.583
And then say, thank you
and then come back down.

00:08:34.583 --> 00:08:36.708
Okay, and to the left,
keep it going.

00:08:37.542 --> 00:08:39.000
Alright, and if
you have it in you,

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.000
do one more
on each side. You got it.

00:08:45.208 --> 00:08:47.542
Tick-tocking back and forth.

00:08:47.542 --> 00:08:49.208
Alright, come
back to your Plank.

00:08:49.208 --> 00:08:52.792
Inhale then shift forward.
Exhale, lower to your belly

00:08:52.792 --> 00:08:55.834
or in my case, Benji's butt,
and then inhale.

00:08:55.834 --> 00:09:00.166
Bhujangasana, exhale, release.

00:09:00.166 --> 00:09:03.917
Beautiful, from here
press to all fours.

00:09:03.917 --> 00:09:06.250
Bring the big
toes together to touch.

00:09:06.250 --> 00:09:07.959
Knees as wide as the mat.

00:09:07.959 --> 00:09:10.000
Inhale to drop the belly.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.792
Look forward, let your
heart energy radiate forward,

00:09:13.792 --> 00:09:17.667
and then exhale to send it
back, Extended Child's Pose.

00:09:17.667 --> 00:09:20.917
Melt your heart to the earth,
close your eyes, and breathe.

00:09:23.083 --> 00:09:25.083
Inhaling lots of love in.

00:09:27.625 --> 00:09:30.000
Exhaling lots of love out.

00:09:38.333 --> 00:09:42.542
So our practice, in particular
the Hatha yoga asana practice

00:09:42.542 --> 00:09:46.000
teaches us how to
marry effort and ease,

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.875
strength and grace,

00:09:50.625 --> 00:09:53.208
stability, a firmness,

00:09:54.458 --> 00:09:56.333
but not without joy.

00:10:01.375 --> 00:10:04.166
On your next breath in,
carve a line with your nose

00:10:04.166 --> 00:10:05.708
to look froward,

00:10:05.708 --> 00:10:07.834
and then breathe
out as you lift your heart

00:10:07.834 --> 00:10:10.708
walk your knees underneath you,
send your legs

00:10:10.708 --> 00:10:14.750
to one side, any side,
and come to a seat.

00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:17.000
Send your legs out
in front, Dundasana.

00:10:21.208 --> 00:10:24.583
So, find that
stick or that staff,

00:10:24.583 --> 00:10:26.500
that image in the spine.

00:10:27.333 --> 00:10:28.959
Lift your chest.

00:10:32.375 --> 00:10:36.333
It's a breezy day, so the
wind is blowing the trees.

00:10:36.333 --> 00:10:40.291
And we're in Texas, and the
pecans are dropping on the house

00:10:40.291 --> 00:10:41.542
and dropping all around.

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.000
If you hear one,
that's what that is.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.834
It's really beautiful.
Texas pecan tree.

00:10:50.458 --> 00:10:53.250
Draw your shoulder blades
together, lift your chest.

00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:54.750
Inhale in here.

00:10:54.750 --> 00:10:56.917
Exhale, lift your
heart even more

00:10:56.917 --> 00:10:59.041
as you relax your
shoulders down.

00:10:59.041 --> 00:11:00.583
Really active in the body.

00:11:01.792 --> 00:11:04.708
And inhale to reach the
fingertips all the way up.

00:11:04.708 --> 00:11:06.458
Big beach ball overhead.

00:11:06.458 --> 00:11:09.750
Exhale to take the thumbs back,
pinkies forward,

00:11:09.750 --> 00:11:12.166
and lift your
heart up towards the sky.

00:11:12.166 --> 00:11:14.000
Beautiful, inhale in again.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.583
Exhale, feel free to bend the
knees as much as you need to

00:11:16.583 --> 00:11:19.417
as you take that big
beach ball up and over,

00:11:19.417 --> 00:11:21.875
draping the belly
toward the tops of the thighs,

00:11:21.875 --> 00:11:24.041
sending your heart energy
forward, forward, forward,

00:11:24.041 --> 00:11:27.792
forward until we come
into Paschimottanasana.

00:11:27.792 --> 00:11:30.333
Seated, extended Forward Fold.

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.000
So, part of finding the joy,

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.750
I think, is

00:11:36.750 --> 00:11:40.291
creating a practice in which

00:11:40.291 --> 00:11:43.041
you're able to

00:11:43.041 --> 00:11:44.083
make it your own.

00:11:47.583 --> 00:11:48.792
See yourself.

00:11:49.750 --> 00:11:50.875
Be yourself.

00:11:58.542 --> 00:12:00.959
So with the head heavy here,

00:12:00.959 --> 00:12:04.291
there's a softness in
the forehead and in the jaw.

00:12:07.375 --> 00:12:10.083
We're gonna
pause here and breathe.

00:12:11.375 --> 00:12:13.000
And just,

00:12:14.083 --> 00:12:16.625
allow that to sink in.

00:12:16.625 --> 00:12:19.250
If it doesn't resonate,
that's okay, but

00:12:19.250 --> 00:12:22.625
part of finding the joy, for me,

00:12:24.667 --> 00:12:27.834
is giving myself permission

00:12:27.834 --> 00:12:29.667
to participate

00:12:30.875 --> 00:12:33.458
and engage in
activities and practices

00:12:33.458 --> 00:12:36.458
that support me

00:12:37.708 --> 00:12:40.208
being me. (chuckles)

00:12:40.208 --> 00:12:41.542
Authentically me.

00:12:43.625 --> 00:12:47.333
So, I'm not wearing
a disguise, or hiding.

00:12:50.542 --> 00:12:52.417
But I'm putting
myself in situations

00:12:52.417 --> 00:12:56.166
where I can
safely explore who I am

00:12:58.750 --> 00:13:03.875
so that I can get strong
and be steady within that,

00:13:05.125 --> 00:13:07.708
even on a really
windy day like today.

00:13:15.792 --> 00:13:17.542
Take one more
cycle of breath here,

00:13:17.542 --> 00:13:19.625
even if you're
ready to come out,

00:13:19.625 --> 00:13:22.000
commit to one
more cycle of breath.

00:13:28.834 --> 00:13:32.000
Trust that everything
is as it should be,

00:13:33.375 --> 00:13:37.000
so that as we together release,

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.583
and begin to rise,
rolling up through the spine.

00:13:44.125 --> 00:13:46.917
We lift the head,
and maybe, just maybe,

00:13:46.917 --> 00:13:48.708
find a little lightness.

00:13:50.083 --> 00:13:53.083
A little bit of
pleasure in this moment.

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.542
Take any soft, easy
movement that you like here.

00:14:02.792 --> 00:14:04.875
Then we'll send
the fingertips forward.

00:14:05.875 --> 00:14:07.625
Take a deep breath in,
and on an exhale

00:14:07.625 --> 00:14:10.959
you're gonna take your
left hand to your right wrist

00:14:10.959 --> 00:14:14.000
or forearm and just
guide it across the body here.

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.625
It should feel really
good after all of your Planks

00:14:17.625 --> 00:14:21.041
and beautiful conditioning
that we participate in

00:14:21.041 --> 00:14:25.542
to get strong,
but also to know thy self.

00:14:26.375 --> 00:14:29.000
If this is causing your
lower back to get fussy,

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.208
you can just come to a
nice cross-legged seat.

00:14:33.583 --> 00:14:35.333
Okay, ready for a
little loopty-loo?

00:14:35.333 --> 00:14:38.000
Now you're gonna slide
your right hand to your elbow.

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.291
Check it out, bring it
all the way up and around,

00:14:41.291 --> 00:14:44.333
and your right hand's gonna
come just to the upper back body

00:14:44.333 --> 00:14:46.959
as you feel a nice
stretch now in your tricep

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:48.959
and your shoulder.
Breathe deep.

00:14:48.959 --> 00:14:51.208
Again, feel free
to cross the ankles.

00:14:54.583 --> 00:14:57.667
Cool, then inhale, reach all
the way up towards the sky,

00:14:57.667 --> 00:14:59.625
and exhale to release it down.

00:15:01.208 --> 00:15:03.750
Inhale, send the
fingertips forward.

00:15:03.750 --> 00:15:06.208
This time, exhale
right hand to the left wrist.

00:15:06.208 --> 00:15:08.625
We're gonna take the
left arm across the body.

00:15:08.625 --> 00:15:11.708
So, maybe we've done this
stretch in gym a million times.

00:15:11.708 --> 00:15:13.375
Maybe not, but maybe.

00:15:13.375 --> 00:15:17.458
So what can you bring to
it that feels like yoga?

00:15:18.291 --> 00:15:20.041
Yoga, again not
just being the shapes

00:15:20.041 --> 00:15:22.458
but this kind of
feeling of oneness,

00:15:22.458 --> 00:15:24.000
of support.

00:15:25.875 --> 00:15:27.667
And maybe it's just
breathing consciously.

00:15:27.667 --> 00:15:29.708
Maybe it's lifting a little
bit up from the pelvic floor

00:15:29.708 --> 00:15:33.208
so you're not
cruising in your low back.

00:15:37.667 --> 00:15:39.208
Maybe it's just
finally realizing,

00:15:39.208 --> 00:15:41.875
"Oh, my gosh, this
is really precious time

00:15:41.875 --> 00:15:43.000
"that I'm spending with myself.

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.917
"It's gonna influence
all my other relationships

00:15:45.917 --> 00:15:47.625
"and all of my other tasks.

00:15:47.625 --> 00:15:50.000
"So proud and happy
I'm doing this for myself."

00:15:51.083 --> 00:15:53.208
Right hand now, here we go,
little loopty-loo

00:15:53.208 --> 00:15:57.041
is gonna come to the left elbow

00:15:57.041 --> 00:15:59.000
and then slowly I'm
gonna lift that left elbow

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.792
all the way up and over,
left hand comes

00:16:00.792 --> 00:16:02.583
to the small of the back
here, and I feel this awesome

00:16:02.583 --> 00:16:05.041
stretch in the tricep. Try to
keep lifting your heart here.

00:16:05.041 --> 00:16:06.542
We're not here for long.
You're doing great.

00:16:06.542 --> 00:16:07.959
Keep breathing.

00:16:12.625 --> 00:16:15.000
Again, our daily practice,
not just good

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.166
for the physical body
but for our energy state,

00:16:18.166 --> 00:16:22.208
energetic state,
for the internal organs.

00:16:22.208 --> 00:16:24.291
For our mental health.

00:16:24.291 --> 00:16:28.875
Inhale in, reach the
fingertips all the way up.

00:16:28.875 --> 00:16:31.000
Exhale, send them forward.

00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.125
Slowly begin to roll down on
your back, take your time.

00:16:35.166 --> 00:16:37.750
If you're wearing a mic pack,
slide it to the side

00:16:37.750 --> 00:16:39.000
so you don't hurt your back.

00:16:40.125 --> 00:16:42.041
Just kidding, and
then slowly roll down.

00:16:45.458 --> 00:16:46.875
When you get there, ah,

00:16:46.875 --> 00:16:48.667
just let everything spill out.

00:16:50.041 --> 00:16:54.041
Let any stress or
tension just milt, melt.

00:16:54.041 --> 00:16:56.750
Not milt, melt. (chuckles)

00:16:56.750 --> 00:16:58.959
Take your arms
gently to your side.

00:16:59.583 --> 00:17:01.500
Take a deep breath in.

00:17:03.542 --> 00:17:06.917
And relax as you breathe out.

00:17:12.250 --> 00:17:16.083
Inhale in again, as you exhale
bring the palms to the earth.

00:17:17.166 --> 00:17:19.041
On your next inhale,
listen carefully,

00:17:19.041 --> 00:17:21.166
you're gonna draw the
right knee all the way in

00:17:21.166 --> 00:17:26.125
and across towards your left
shoulder and then around,

00:17:26.125 --> 00:17:28.792
outer edge of the
right foot hits the ground

00:17:28.792 --> 00:17:30.750
and you release
the weight of your leg

00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:32.208
as you extend it out.

00:17:33.333 --> 00:17:36.208
Let's go again, lifting
the right knee all the way up

00:17:36.208 --> 00:17:39.166
and across, finding
that softness, that ease.

00:17:39.166 --> 00:17:40.917
Outer edge of the
right foot comes through.

00:17:40.917 --> 00:17:44.000
Little one-legged Baddha
Konasana and we slide down.

00:17:45.333 --> 00:17:47.792
Great, let's do one more.
Inhale.

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.834
Little hip release,
and then exhale, send it out.

00:17:51.834 --> 00:17:55.208
And when you get to full
extension in the right leg,

00:17:55.208 --> 00:17:58.208
just tick-tock the right toes
back and forth a couple times.

00:18:01.125 --> 00:18:04.166
Awesome, now we'll
repeat on the left side.

00:18:04.166 --> 00:18:07.125
Left knee comes across the
body towards the right shoulder

00:18:07.125 --> 00:18:10.792
and then around
and out and down.

00:18:14.125 --> 00:18:19.083
Inhaling, comes up
across the body and around.

00:18:19.083 --> 00:18:21.000
Outer edge of your
left foot kisses the earth

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.792
so you can find release here.
Release, release, release.

00:18:23.792 --> 00:18:26.333
And then down,
and one more time.

00:18:32.667 --> 00:18:35.291
And when you find
full extension in the leg,

00:18:35.291 --> 00:18:39.083
just tick-tock the left toes
mindfully back and forth.

00:18:39.083 --> 00:18:41.291
It should feel really
yummy in that hip socket.

00:18:44.166 --> 00:18:47.291
Lot of tick-tocking
in this practice.

00:18:49.542 --> 00:18:50.875
It's time for joy.

00:18:52.125 --> 00:18:53.458
More joy.

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.834
This video's
sponsored by Ke$ha.

00:18:57.834 --> 00:18:59.625
No, I'm just kidding,
okay, here we go, release.

00:18:59.625 --> 00:19:01.083
You're gonna open the palms.

00:19:01.083 --> 00:19:02.875
Let's take one more
final breath in here together.

00:19:02.875 --> 00:19:04.708
Close your eyes for this one.

00:19:04.708 --> 00:19:09.125
Lean in, go inward.
Inhale, lots of love in.

00:19:11.458 --> 00:19:14.083
And exhale, lots of love out.

00:19:20.625 --> 00:19:23.333
Thank you so much
for sharing your time

00:19:23.333 --> 00:19:25.834
and your energy with me
and all the beautiful people

00:19:25.834 --> 00:19:28.000
practicing around the world,

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:32.000
working to spend more
quality time with ourselves

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.333
so that we can be the
best versions of ourselves

00:19:36.333 --> 00:19:38.500
that we already are.

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:42.291
So that we can uncover who that
is and what that feels like

00:19:42.291 --> 00:19:45.000
so we can be good to each other.

00:19:46.458 --> 00:19:48.500
You rock! Here we go,
bring the palms together,

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:49.834
thumbs up to third eye.

00:19:51.625 --> 00:19:53.041
Take one final breath in.

00:19:54.417 --> 00:19:56.375
And a long breath out.

00:19:58.625 --> 00:20:00.000
And we'll whisper,

00:20:01.375 --> 00:20:02.417
Namaste.

00:20:03.667 --> 00:20:07.458
(bright music)
