WEBVTT

00:00:00.096 --> 00:00:01.935
- Hey everyone, welcome
to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:01.935 --> 00:00:04.423
I'm Adriene, and today on
the Foundations of Yoga,

00:00:04.424 --> 00:00:07.863
we're learning Hero Pose or Virasana.

00:00:07.863 --> 00:00:10.366
This posture's awesome,
right before bedtime,

00:00:10.366 --> 00:00:12.459
this is a great set up for meditation.

00:00:12.459 --> 00:00:14.948
This is something that you
probably will come across

00:00:14.948 --> 00:00:17.235
in a public class and it's a tender one

00:00:17.235 --> 00:00:19.166
so I think this is a great one to learn,

00:00:19.166 --> 00:00:20.558
especially if you have sensitive knees,

00:00:20.558 --> 00:00:21.701
but for everyone who wants to be

00:00:21.701 --> 00:00:23.538
super mindful in their practice.

00:00:23.538 --> 00:00:25.712
We'll learn how to set it
up with props that you have

00:00:25.712 --> 00:00:27.840
on hand at home, as well as without.

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:32.089
So, you're gonna need a block
or a book, something firm,

00:00:32.089 --> 00:00:33.884
and then two towels.

00:00:33.884 --> 00:00:35.181
So, if you have two Yoga blankets, great,

00:00:35.181 --> 00:00:36.574
otherwise, just two towels.

00:00:36.574 --> 00:00:38.567
So, take a second to go grab those things

00:00:38.567 --> 00:00:40.937
and let's hop on the mat and get started.

00:00:40.937 --> 00:00:44.823
(upbeat music)

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:54.833
Alright, let's break this thing down.

00:00:54.833 --> 00:00:57.074
So, I have my two towels here.

00:00:57.074 --> 00:00:59.809
Notice we have towels
instead of Yoga blankets.

00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:03.642
You know, I have a big
sack of Yoga blankets

00:01:03.643 --> 00:01:06.092
but chances are that you may not at home.

00:01:06.092 --> 00:01:08.539
So, if you do not have Yoga blankets,

00:01:08.539 --> 00:01:09.998
fear not, you just need two towels.

00:01:09.998 --> 00:01:12.531
They don't even have to
match, these don't match.

00:01:13.641 --> 00:01:14.774
We're gonna use them.

00:01:14.774 --> 00:01:16.947
If you don't have a block or book,

00:01:16.947 --> 00:01:19.680
you can also use an
extra towel, so fear not.

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.356
I'm gonna teach us how to
do a supported Hero first

00:01:23.356 --> 00:01:25.475
and then we'll do it without the props.

00:01:25.475 --> 00:01:27.690
So, I think it's important
for everyone to learn it

00:01:27.690 --> 00:01:31.570
with the supports because it's
common for us to think that

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:36.786
tending to this pose is just
for people with knee problems

00:01:36.786 --> 00:01:40.202
or with tight knees, tight knee joints,

00:01:40.202 --> 00:01:43.868
and I think everyone can benefit
from learning the support

00:01:43.868 --> 00:01:47.336
because the knees are so precious, right?

00:01:48.357 --> 00:01:50.187
We really need to be mindful of the knees

00:01:50.187 --> 00:01:52.958
so I think that's understood by everyone,

00:01:52.958 --> 00:01:56.138
but just in case you don't
want to learn the supports,

00:01:56.138 --> 00:01:57.277
give it a try, alright.

00:01:57.277 --> 00:01:58.827
We're gonna do a really basic support too

00:01:58.827 --> 00:02:00.132
so it should feel good.

00:02:00.132 --> 00:02:02.492
Starting with the bottom towel.

00:02:04.128 --> 00:02:06.337
So, the Yoga blanket will fold perfectly

00:02:06.337 --> 00:02:08.656
and give you this nice, even ground.

00:02:08.656 --> 00:02:10.458
The towel will be different so

00:02:10.458 --> 00:02:12.122
as part of your Yoga practice already

00:02:12.122 --> 00:02:13.235
is kind of like

00:02:14.665 --> 00:02:16.463
just going with the flow and working with

00:02:16.463 --> 00:02:17.932
what you've got, right.

00:02:17.932 --> 00:02:19.886
Making the best with what you have.

00:02:19.886 --> 00:02:23.188
Being present so, I love
that about the home practice

00:02:23.188 --> 00:02:24.738
and about Yoga With Adriene channel,

00:02:24.739 --> 00:02:26.826
is like you just work with what you got

00:02:26.826 --> 00:02:28.781
and it's totally different
than what you do at the studio.

00:02:28.782 --> 00:02:31.386
Studio's awesome, all
the props there, amazing,

00:02:31.386 --> 00:02:33.841
but it's really nice to
be able to do these things

00:02:33.842 --> 00:02:35.150
at home for ourselves so.

00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:37.036
I'm gonna fold the blanket, excuse me,

00:02:37.036 --> 00:02:41.815
the towel, the blanket, just
so that it's nice and even

00:02:41.815 --> 00:02:43.980
and then, if you're a
bit of a control freak,

00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:46.214
perfectionista like me, you're
gonna have to let that go

00:02:46.214 --> 00:02:49.395
'cause it may not fold perfectly even.

00:02:49.395 --> 00:02:52.736
But you're just gonna wanna
get a nice, smooth top

00:02:52.736 --> 00:02:57.506
and then maybe a clean
edge here for your ankles,

00:02:57.507 --> 00:02:59.807
but if not, it's okay.

00:02:59.811 --> 00:03:01.928
Alright, so try to let go of
just getting everything perfect

00:03:01.928 --> 00:03:04.173
and focus on, you know, is it comfortable?

00:03:04.173 --> 00:03:05.719
Does it feel supportive?

00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.390
Okay, and then we're gonna
come onto our little cushion.

00:03:10.735 --> 00:03:12.489
Gonna bring it to the center of your mat.

00:03:12.489 --> 00:03:14.080
And this will be a little
different for everyone

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.105
based on, you know, your
towel and your anatomy.

00:03:17.105 --> 00:03:19.838
And I'm gonna come onto my
cushion and I'm gonna try to

00:03:19.838 --> 00:03:24.009
get it to where, so I'm gonna
adjust mine so it's longer

00:03:25.603 --> 00:03:28.222
this way, I'm gonna try to get it to where

00:03:28.222 --> 00:03:31.747
my ankles fall off the cushion.

00:03:31.747 --> 00:03:33.267
Alright.

00:03:33.267 --> 00:03:36.909
So, right at the ankles
and the tops of the feet

00:03:36.909 --> 00:03:39.989
just fall off there and check it out.

00:03:39.989 --> 00:03:41.824
Okay, cool.

00:03:41.824 --> 00:03:43.986
So come back to all fours
when you feel like you have

00:03:43.986 --> 00:03:47.535
found that and just take a second here

00:03:47.535 --> 00:03:49.079
to notice your breath.

00:03:49.079 --> 00:03:51.365
Walk the knees hipwidth apart.

00:03:51.365 --> 00:03:56.241
Shins are parallel and
perpendicular to the floor.

00:03:56.241 --> 00:03:58.012
Parallel to each other (laughs) and

00:03:58.012 --> 00:03:59.865
perpendicular to the floor.

00:03:59.865 --> 00:04:01.422
Alright.

00:04:01.422 --> 00:04:03.904
I'm gonna go ahead and take my block here

00:04:03.904 --> 00:04:07.315
and bring it between the ankles

00:04:07.315 --> 00:04:09.519
and you can kind of snuggle

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:12.592
the block with the ankles
here, kind of squeeze.

00:04:12.592 --> 00:04:15.234
And then nice and slow, pressing
into the tops of the feet,

00:04:15.234 --> 00:04:18.132
I'm gonna walk the palms back.

00:04:18.132 --> 00:04:20.822
Bring the thumbs to the backs of the knees

00:04:20.822 --> 00:04:23.401
and use the thumbs to
gently push the fleshy part

00:04:23.401 --> 00:04:26.369
behind the knees back and
then continue that down,

00:04:26.369 --> 00:04:29.996
as you slowly, slowly sit back.

00:04:29.996 --> 00:04:32.000
So, essentially, I'm taking
the flesh of the calves

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.751
to the side, should feel good.

00:04:34.751 --> 00:04:37.316
And I come to sit up nice and tall.

00:04:38.346 --> 00:04:41.085
Knees are still in line
with the hip points,

00:04:41.085 --> 00:04:43.695
I'm pressing into the tops of the feet

00:04:43.696 --> 00:04:46.552
and my feet are able to just kind of

00:04:46.552 --> 00:04:49.771
fall off the blanket
here so, or the towel so,

00:04:49.771 --> 00:04:54.138
you can snuggle it back up as you need

00:04:54.138 --> 00:04:55.936
and then just check it out here.

00:04:55.937 --> 00:04:58.007
So this is a little bit
of a workshop right.

00:04:58.007 --> 00:05:00.698
That's what I love about the
Foundations of Yoga playlist

00:05:00.698 --> 00:05:02.817
is we get to kind of break things down

00:05:02.817 --> 00:05:05.266
and play so that when you
do go to public class,

00:05:05.266 --> 00:05:07.194
and you do have all your props available,

00:05:07.194 --> 00:05:09.437
and you know, the
teacher says, "Virasana",

00:05:09.437 --> 00:05:12.213
you can go, "Oh, okay, I know
what I need to do for myself

00:05:12.213 --> 00:05:15.345
"to be present and alive in this posture."

00:05:17.578 --> 00:05:20.099
So, check out this setup.

00:05:20.099 --> 00:05:21.772
If you're feeling pretty good here,

00:05:21.772 --> 00:05:24.003
pretty solid in the knees,
then see what happens

00:05:24.003 --> 00:05:25.724
if you begin to walk the knees

00:05:25.725 --> 00:05:27.358
and the inner thighs together.

00:05:27.358 --> 00:05:30.247
If the body says, "No",
then listen to your body,

00:05:30.247 --> 00:05:32.003
bring it back, hipwidth apart.

00:05:32.003 --> 00:05:33.433
If you're on all fours right now going,

00:05:33.434 --> 00:05:38.001
"Girl, I can't get there,
knee joints are too tight."

00:05:38.957 --> 00:05:42.611
We're gonna come off and
we're gonna take the towel,

00:05:42.612 --> 00:05:46.865
probably to a longer length and fold it up

00:05:48.033 --> 00:05:51.512
to like a mini bolster here so a thin

00:05:51.512 --> 00:05:53.802
snake, or hotdog like.

00:05:54.942 --> 00:05:56.211
That comes from working with kids, right.

00:05:56.211 --> 00:05:58.318
You fold your paper hamburger style,

00:05:58.318 --> 00:05:59.623
and then you fold it hotdog, okay.

00:05:59.623 --> 00:06:01.664
So, roll it up hotdog-style

00:06:01.665 --> 00:06:05.117
and you're gonna bring it
right above the ankles here.

00:06:06.262 --> 00:06:09.387
So, if you don't have a block,

00:06:09.387 --> 00:06:11.432
you can just do the same thing

00:06:11.432 --> 00:06:15.377
right between the arches of the feet,

00:06:15.377 --> 00:06:16.643
roll it up.

00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:20.776
I was about to make an inappropriate joke.

00:06:20.776 --> 00:06:24.626
Roll it up, sit up nice and tall.

00:06:24.626 --> 00:06:26.275
So, this feels awesome for me.

00:06:26.276 --> 00:06:28.722
I don't know if you can
see the set up here but

00:06:28.722 --> 00:06:31.325
feel, looks like it feels
good and it does feel good

00:06:31.326 --> 00:06:34.384
so I'm giving myself a little cushion

00:06:34.384 --> 00:06:35.643
on the shins and the ankles.

00:06:35.643 --> 00:06:37.969
Giving myself a little
cushion between the ankles,

00:06:37.970 --> 00:06:41.108
the heels and my sitting bones.

00:06:41.108 --> 00:06:43.560
And then my coccyx, my tail
is really able to kind of

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.720
ground into the block
so that I can find lift

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.949
up through the center
line, that plumb line.

00:06:49.757 --> 00:06:52.835
And then I draw my
shoulder blades together

00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:55.455
so really, really draw the
shoulder blades together.

00:06:55.455 --> 00:06:58.675
Anchor a little weight
down through the elbows

00:06:58.675 --> 00:07:00.756
and then find this big lift in the heart,

00:07:00.756 --> 00:07:02.710
lift in the sternum.

00:07:02.711 --> 00:07:05.154
So in Kids' Yoga, but I
say this now actually,

00:07:05.154 --> 00:07:06.138
in my public class.

00:07:06.138 --> 00:07:07.507
Someone is like, "How?" you know.

00:07:07.507 --> 00:07:09.372
It's Hero Pose.

00:07:10.667 --> 00:07:13.705
Virasana, also known as Thunder Bolt.

00:07:13.705 --> 00:07:16.119
What kind of energy can
you bring to Hero Pose?

00:07:16.119 --> 00:07:18.683
Is it like, you know,
you're not just like here.

00:07:19.983 --> 00:07:20.887
You know.

00:07:20.887 --> 00:07:24.397
There's a reason we come into these shapes

00:07:24.397 --> 00:07:26.844
and you need to find that reason,

00:07:27.984 --> 00:07:29.414
in my opinion.

00:07:30.957 --> 00:07:32.351
So, we're here.

00:07:34.463 --> 00:07:35.992
Another option

00:07:36.952 --> 00:07:39.596
is if the knees are really
tight, you can also take

00:07:39.596 --> 00:07:44.004
the towel or blanket and
bring it behind the knees

00:07:44.903 --> 00:07:47.188
and this just gives us
a little bit of space

00:07:47.188 --> 00:07:51.380
at the crease of the knee
so that you can kind of

00:07:51.380 --> 00:07:54.675
release some of the
pressure in the knee joint.

00:07:54.675 --> 00:07:56.260
Oh yeah, this is nice.

00:07:57.251 --> 00:07:58.328
Really nice.

00:07:58.329 --> 00:08:00.170
And you can even go
more, like rolling it up

00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.087
and bringing it behind
the knees even more.

00:08:02.087 --> 00:08:05.287
If you have more blocks,
you can even lift up higher.

00:08:06.523 --> 00:08:08.302
Great, and then we'll
just, wherever you are

00:08:08.302 --> 00:08:10.180
in your workshop of this posture,

00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:12.299
draw the shoulder blades together,

00:08:12.299 --> 00:08:14.286
press the palms down or flip the palms up,

00:08:14.286 --> 00:08:16.568
whatever feels good to
you and then find that

00:08:16.568 --> 00:08:18.450
lift in the heart.

00:08:21.389 --> 00:08:24.768
It's a great stretch in the quads.

00:08:25.776 --> 00:08:27.418
Great stretch in the legs.

00:08:27.418 --> 00:08:32.092
Beautiful opening for the lower body,

00:08:32.092 --> 00:08:34.659
the ankles, the knee joints.

00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:39.107
Press into all 10 toes,
so energy through the feet

00:08:39.107 --> 00:08:42.491
and of course, big lift, Hero Pose.

00:08:42.491 --> 00:08:45.881
Up through the crown and in the heart.

00:08:47.791 --> 00:08:50.740
This is a great setup for a meditation.

00:08:52.479 --> 00:08:57.425
And an awesome pose to just kind of calm,

00:08:57.425 --> 00:08:59.848
so if you're PO'd or
you've had a rough day,

00:08:59.849 --> 00:09:02.544
this is an excellent pose
to just kind of setup,

00:09:02.544 --> 00:09:04.381
and it might seem kind
of abnormal to do that,

00:09:04.381 --> 00:09:06.616
but what if we started doing this so much

00:09:06.616 --> 00:09:09.630
that we lived in a world where
you know, we could be like,

00:09:09.630 --> 00:09:12.685
"Peace out, gonna go setup for
some Hero Pose for a second."

00:09:12.685 --> 00:09:15.017
And you just go and you
just get your towels and

00:09:15.018 --> 00:09:16.339
you're ready to do your
thing and you're here

00:09:16.339 --> 00:09:19.555
for even one minute, and
then you come off your mat

00:09:19.555 --> 00:09:21.920
and continue with the rest of your day.

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:24.372
That's the goal, for me.

00:09:24.372 --> 00:09:25.758
Okay, I'm gonna come out of this.

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.432
In case you wanna learn
it without the props.

00:09:30.976 --> 00:09:32.648
Maybe that's available to you in your body

00:09:32.648 --> 00:09:35.300
and if it's not, good thing we know now,

00:09:35.300 --> 00:09:37.410
how to set this up with the props.

00:09:37.410 --> 00:09:39.002
So, it's all different levels.

00:09:39.002 --> 00:09:41.774
Oftentimes, in public Yoga
class, I'll grab a block,

00:09:41.774 --> 00:09:42.750
you know, no matter what.

00:09:42.750 --> 00:09:45.111
I actually always grab
a block and a blanket.

00:09:45.111 --> 00:09:47.997
It's just nice to kind
of cushion the knees and

00:09:47.997 --> 00:09:51.218
sit on a block but, with just the block,

00:09:51.219 --> 00:09:53.948
we come to all fours,
knees hipwidth apart.

00:09:53.948 --> 00:09:56.153
I squeeze the block here.

00:09:56.153 --> 00:09:58.822
Also a good setup for Camel Pose.

00:09:59.873 --> 00:10:01.484
Check in with your breath

00:10:02.537 --> 00:10:04.009
and walk the palms back.

00:10:04.009 --> 00:10:06.529
Take the thumbs behind the knees,

00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:08.811
walk the fleshy part
or pull the fleshy part

00:10:08.811 --> 00:10:11.140
of the calves back.

00:10:11.140 --> 00:10:13.539
And this might be your Hero,

00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:15.823
or you might walk the knees together.

00:10:15.823 --> 00:10:18.751
Just kind of going
through this a little bit

00:10:19.810 --> 00:10:21.526
swifter.

00:10:23.887 --> 00:10:26.010
Great, and then without the block,

00:10:27.592 --> 00:10:30.245
I'm gonna play, coming to all fours,

00:10:31.174 --> 00:10:34.067
connecting to my breath,
walking the palms back,

00:10:34.067 --> 00:10:37.388
fleshy part of the calves move away

00:10:37.388 --> 00:10:39.999
and I sit back between the heels.

00:10:39.999 --> 00:10:41.886
It's a lot different.

00:10:41.886 --> 00:10:43.925
Find that length up through the crown.

00:10:43.925 --> 00:10:46.377
If it feels good, I might
walk the knees together.

00:10:46.377 --> 00:10:48.377
I'm pressing into the tops of the feet,

00:10:48.377 --> 00:10:50.002
nice stretch here.

00:10:51.586 --> 00:10:53.591
Sitting between my heels.

00:10:54.483 --> 00:10:56.810
Lift in the crown, lift in the heart,

00:10:56.810 --> 00:11:00.348
shoulder blades drawing in
together and down, activate.

00:11:00.348 --> 00:11:01.457
Okay.

00:11:02.755 --> 00:11:05.983
Find a little variation
here to work towards.

00:11:08.262 --> 00:11:11.848
Knees hipwidth apart, big toes to touch.

00:11:11.849 --> 00:11:15.601
Sitting down here and then eventually

00:11:15.601 --> 00:11:19.419
snuggling the sitting
bones between the heels.

00:11:21.238 --> 00:11:24.951
Knees together, can I get there?

00:11:24.951 --> 00:11:26.501
Yeah.

00:11:26.501 --> 00:11:29.141
So, this is a little
tighter, more traditional

00:11:29.142 --> 00:11:30.897
Hero, Virasana.

00:11:30.897 --> 00:11:32.360
I prefer to keep the space, honestly,

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.018
because this is just too much
pressure on my ankles here.

00:11:35.018 --> 00:11:37.619
I can feel it now.

00:11:37.619 --> 00:11:39.949
But it's just trying to prep
you for all the variations

00:11:39.949 --> 00:11:41.990
of public class.

00:11:41.990 --> 00:11:44.166
Okay, awesome work, so wherever you are,

00:11:44.166 --> 00:11:46.450
let's do this together, just a little,

00:11:46.450 --> 00:11:50.431
quick, you know, two-minute
meditation of sorts.

00:11:50.431 --> 00:11:54.555
We're gonna come into your
favorite version of Hero Pose

00:11:54.555 --> 00:11:56.142
and if you're about to stop
the video 'cause you're like,

00:11:56.143 --> 00:11:58.014
"I don't have time for
this", you do have time.

00:11:58.014 --> 00:12:00.335
Let's put it to practice.

00:12:00.335 --> 00:12:02.508
I think you do, right?

00:12:02.508 --> 00:12:04.557
A minute and a half, how about it?

00:12:04.557 --> 00:12:05.771
I'm gonna do this.

00:12:10.157 --> 00:12:11.493
I'm gonna do this actually,

00:12:11.493 --> 00:12:13.516
I'm gonna get this one.

00:12:13.516 --> 00:12:14.939
Great.

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:16.664
Hmm, so nice.

00:12:18.577 --> 00:12:20.366
So come into your favorite version

00:12:20.366 --> 00:12:21.706
after your little workshop here.

00:12:21.706 --> 00:12:23.815
See what feels good for you.

00:12:25.682 --> 00:12:28.980
And then connect to the
energy here, nice and strong.

00:12:29.943 --> 00:12:32.765
So find that lift up
through the center channel.

00:12:32.765 --> 00:12:34.673
Then, like I'm doing here,
feel free to experiment with

00:12:34.673 --> 00:12:35.907
what feels good today, right.

00:12:35.907 --> 00:12:38.469
Every day's different, maybe

00:12:38.469 --> 00:12:40.016
you know,

00:12:40.016 --> 00:12:41.199
you just did a practice,

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.422
maybe you're about to do a practice.

00:12:46.204 --> 00:12:47.668
Hands come to the tops of the thighs.

00:12:47.668 --> 00:12:48.890
You decide what feels best.

00:12:48.890 --> 00:12:51.500
Palms face down or palms face up.

00:12:51.500 --> 00:12:53.458
Everyone, draw the
shoulder blades together.

00:12:53.458 --> 00:12:54.961
Find that lift up through the crown

00:12:54.961 --> 00:12:58.551
and then consider the
name of this posture.

00:12:58.551 --> 00:13:00.203
Hero Pose.

00:13:04.563 --> 00:13:07.455
You know, I started off
teaching Kids' Yoga,

00:13:07.455 --> 00:13:10.145
many years ago, and I'd
ask the kids, you know,

00:13:10.145 --> 00:13:13.512
"How does a hero feel?"

00:13:13.512 --> 00:13:15.765
You know, "Proud or sad?"

00:13:15.765 --> 00:13:16.436
Be like, "Proud."

00:13:16.436 --> 00:13:17.908
"So what does proud look like?

00:13:17.908 --> 00:13:20.277
"What does victorious
look like in the body?"

00:13:20.277 --> 00:13:23.772
So look, you know, everyone
puff up and lift up.

00:13:24.782 --> 00:13:26.697
So it's that here.

00:13:26.697 --> 00:13:28.976
It's hard to kind of come to that when

00:13:28.976 --> 00:13:32.148
the knees are screaming or you're not

00:13:32.148 --> 00:13:35.375
tending to the joints properly so.

00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:40.133
Hopefully you can get set up
in a way that feels supportive.

00:13:40.133 --> 00:13:41.717
Just gonna take one quiet moment here

00:13:41.717 --> 00:13:43.603
to find the breath.

00:13:45.352 --> 00:13:47.429
You can close your eyes.

00:13:52.411 --> 00:13:56.002
Settle into this seat, Virasana.

00:13:56.003 --> 00:13:58.517
(deep breaths)

00:14:16.236 --> 00:14:18.049
Great, drop the chin to the chest,

00:14:18.049 --> 00:14:19.560
stretch through the back of the neck.

00:14:19.561 --> 00:14:22.090
Bat the eyelashes open, hmm.

00:14:22.090 --> 00:14:23.429
Awesome work my friends.

00:14:23.429 --> 00:14:25.511
Go ahead and carve a line
with the nose, look up.

00:14:25.511 --> 00:14:27.025
And then we'll come out of the posture

00:14:27.025 --> 00:14:28.645
by coming onto all fours,

00:14:28.645 --> 00:14:30.731
and take the block to the side.

00:14:30.731 --> 00:14:33.498
Maybe you take a second here to just

00:14:33.498 --> 00:14:35.506
rock front, rock back.

00:14:35.506 --> 00:14:39.608
Maybe you take it into a
Cat/Cow or rotate the ankles.

00:14:40.949 --> 00:14:42.747
Awesome work.

00:14:42.747 --> 00:14:45.439
Okay, everyone, thank you
so much for taking the time

00:14:45.439 --> 00:14:48.046
to break down Hero Pose with me.

00:14:48.047 --> 00:14:50.452
I think it's important that
we remember to take the time

00:14:50.452 --> 00:14:53.148
to learn these postures, but
not just learn the postures

00:14:53.148 --> 00:14:56.128
and how to set them up, but
learn them in our bodies, right.

00:14:56.128 --> 00:14:58.456
And perhaps you already
know that but I feel like

00:14:58.456 --> 00:15:01.343
it's just a great reminder as
we continue to learn and grow

00:15:01.343 --> 00:15:04.160
and evolve in our Yoga
practice and in life.

00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:06.040
Keep checking in with how things feel

00:15:06.041 --> 00:15:07.480
with you and your body.

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.976
Set yourself up for greatness

00:15:08.976 --> 00:15:10.650
and we'll keep inspiring
each other to do that

00:15:10.650 --> 00:15:11.711
year round, alright.

00:15:11.711 --> 00:15:13.100
Free Yoga videos every Wednesday.

00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:14.730
Questions, comments below.

00:15:14.730 --> 00:15:16.402
Thank you for supporting the channel

00:15:16.402 --> 00:15:20.185
and contributing to this
community with your conversation

00:15:20.185 --> 00:15:21.702
and your presence and your energy.

00:15:21.702 --> 00:15:22.756
It rocks!

00:15:22.756 --> 00:15:24.030
Let's keep going.

00:15:24.030 --> 00:15:25.006
Take good care.

00:15:25.006 --> 00:15:26.808
Namaste.

00:15:26.808 --> 00:15:30.043
(upbeat music)
