WEBVTT

00:03:27.166 --> 00:03:28.233
- Alrighty!

00:03:29.867 --> 00:03:34.567
What's up, everyone, and
welcome to Yoga With Adriene,

00:03:34.567 --> 00:03:36.633
livestream edition.

00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:41.467
I'm Adriene, and ugh, just
got like a little emotional

00:03:41.467 --> 00:03:42.567
sitting down here.

00:03:42.567 --> 00:03:44.800
(chuckles)

00:03:45.867 --> 00:03:48.600
Because I, of course,
logged myself onto the stream,

00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:53.834
and it's just so exciting
to see everyone

00:03:53.834 --> 00:03:56.467
show up and be present.

00:03:56.467 --> 00:03:59.000
And, you know what's funny,
when I was preparing for this,

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.934
I was like, really,
I don't wanna overthink it,

00:04:00.934 --> 00:04:03.533
because what is so
beautiful and remarkable

00:04:03.533 --> 00:04:06.233
about this exchange,
and honestly,

00:04:06.233 --> 00:04:08.000
really mind-blowing,
I was thinking this morning,

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.033
if you had told me I would
have a yoga YouTube channel

00:04:11.033 --> 00:04:14.800
ever in this lifetime,
I'd be like, ew, what?

00:04:16.333 --> 00:04:18.632
But what's so unique
and beautiful and special

00:04:18.632 --> 00:04:23.500
about this exchange is just
this idea, it's very simple,

00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:26.033
and it is that you show up.

00:04:26.033 --> 00:04:29.033
This platform has
provided us the opportunity

00:04:29.033 --> 00:04:31.867
to show up and be
present with what is,

00:04:31.867 --> 00:04:34.734
and a lot of you,
I've known a long time,

00:04:34.734 --> 00:04:36.867
and have been with
the practice for a while

00:04:36.867 --> 00:04:38.166
and you know what
I'm talking about, right?

00:04:38.166 --> 00:04:42.333
You show up when you're down,
you show up when you're high.

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.667
You show up when
you're low, you show up

00:04:46.667 --> 00:04:48.567
to really just be
present with what is,

00:04:48.567 --> 00:04:51.367
and to take care of your needs,

00:04:51.367 --> 00:04:52.967
and so we've been
through a lot together,

00:04:52.967 --> 00:04:57.800
and for those of you who are
just discovering the channel,

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.800
a very wholehearted
welcome to you,

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.333
thank you for
showing up here today,

00:05:03.333 --> 00:05:05.834
we have a very special practice,

00:05:05.834 --> 00:05:07.600
not just because it's live, and,

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.800
⍠Anything could happen

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.700
But because it's
for a very good cause,

00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:16.934
and so the project that we're
collaborating with today

00:05:16.934 --> 00:05:21.767
is called Project OM, and
we're not gonna chant om here

00:05:21.767 --> 00:05:23.633
on the practice today,
but I would like

00:05:23.633 --> 00:05:28.033
to just share with you one of
the things I love about om,

00:05:28.033 --> 00:05:30.467
and that is that I feel
like it really ties into

00:05:30.467 --> 00:05:32.533
this exchange
that we're creating,

00:05:32.533 --> 00:05:36.000
and continuing to
cultivate energy on the channel,

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.100
and that is that
we are all connected,

00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:41.600
and we are one.

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.834
We are equal, and we are
a reflection of one another.

00:05:45.834 --> 00:05:49.200
And when you start to move
through life with this idea

00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:51.533
that we're a
reflection of one another,

00:05:51.533 --> 00:05:53.834
it totally
changes your perspective

00:05:53.834 --> 00:05:55.667
in how you see the world,
and how you see other people,

00:05:55.667 --> 00:06:00.400
how you treat others,
and how you treat yourself.

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:04.834
So, om, like yoga, has
many different definitions,

00:06:04.834 --> 00:06:07.767
and that's
really wonderful, right?

00:06:09.967 --> 00:06:12.600
Different ways of
communicating thing is also

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.367
really valuable, because one
thing will be great for Sally,

00:06:16.367 --> 00:06:19.433
and the other will be
great for Bobby, so anyway,

00:06:19.433 --> 00:06:22.533
see, you can't edit this
stuff, I'm going on a tangent,

00:06:22.533 --> 00:06:24.467
but the main thing
I thought we should focus on

00:06:24.467 --> 00:06:28.400
in terms of om was this idea
that one of the definitions

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:31.033
and one of the ways
that I like to see om

00:06:31.033 --> 00:06:35.600
is that it is the oneness,

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.467
the universal oneness,

00:06:38.467 --> 00:06:41.500
and when we chant om,
which maybe after this,

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:45.133
we'll do a video on chanting
om, that should be interesting.

00:06:45.133 --> 00:06:49.300
(voices speaking
in the background)

00:06:54.934 --> 00:06:59.400
Live, so yeah, maybe
we'll do a video on om, but,

00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:03.367
when we chant
om, it is the sound

00:07:03.367 --> 00:07:06.800
of universal consciousness,
and so, not to get cheesy,

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.033
and we're gonna get
moving here in a second,

00:07:08.033 --> 00:07:09.500
but I'm also just
trying to give everyone

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:10.967
a little bit of
time to get settled in

00:07:10.967 --> 00:07:13.000
in case you're
running in from work,

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.367
or getting the family together,

00:07:16.367 --> 00:07:20.300
gathering ye around the fire.

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:23.800
It's the sound of
universal consciousness!

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.400
So Project OM is
totally perfect for us

00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:30.233
here in the Yoga With Adriene
community to say yes to,

00:07:30.233 --> 00:07:32.800
to consider using
this as an opportunity

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.300
to kind of expand
our presence in the world

00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:38.567
and serve others.

00:07:38.567 --> 00:07:40.667
Om, the sound of
universal consciousness,

00:07:40.667 --> 00:07:41.567
how awesome is that?

00:07:41.567 --> 00:07:45.033
And so, with Yoga With Adriene,
we have people not just

00:07:45.033 --> 00:07:47.000
coming in from
the United States,

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.633
but from all over the world.

00:07:49.633 --> 00:07:51.734
Someone started
a cool community,

00:07:51.734 --> 00:07:52.967
Yoga With Adriene map,

00:07:52.967 --> 00:07:55.166
a Google map,
when we first started,

00:07:55.166 --> 00:07:57.300
and just a few pins
were here and there,

00:07:57.300 --> 00:07:58.467
and now if you look at the map,

00:07:58.467 --> 00:08:00.800
it'll really just,
brings tears to my eyes,

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.200
because there's
just pins everywhere,

00:08:03.200 --> 00:08:07.600
of people doing yoga
and connecting to that om.

00:08:08.734 --> 00:08:14.133
So more on Project OM later,
but for now, let's practice.

00:08:14.133 --> 00:08:16.066
I would like to let you know
that this is an all-levels

00:08:16.066 --> 00:08:19.800
practice, you know me,
I'm on a mission

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:24.166
to really lead and
guide and be a cheerleader

00:08:24.166 --> 00:08:26.166
for you to
cultivate home practice,

00:08:26.166 --> 00:08:28.567
so I will offer
lots of modifications,

00:08:28.567 --> 00:08:30.467
I'll try to think of,
if you're pregnant,

00:08:30.467 --> 00:08:32.700
we'll try to give you
some modifications as well,

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:34.000
but if you're
sitting on the couch

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.033
and someone else is on the mat,

00:08:35.033 --> 00:08:37.400
I just want you to know, you
can do this practice, too,

00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:39.799
just by showing
up and being present,

00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.166
you're already
doing the yoga, right?

00:08:42.166 --> 00:08:47.166
Yoga's not about this
stuff, it's about showing up,

00:08:47.166 --> 00:08:49.600
and being present for the ride,

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:50.934
so let's go on a
little journey here.

00:08:50.934 --> 00:08:53.667
So come to a comfortable seat.

00:08:53.667 --> 00:08:55.433
Welcome, everybody.

00:08:58.300 --> 00:09:00.200
And when you get in
your comfortable seat,

00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.700
so I will, of course, guide
the practice on the yoga mat,

00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:04.600
but again, just wanna reiterate,

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.400
if you're listening to
the sound of my voice now,

00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:10.767
I'm sorry, no, but just
by being here and present,

00:09:10.767 --> 00:09:13.066
you're doing the yoga with us,
so thank you for being here,

00:09:13.066 --> 00:09:17.033
and let's have some
fun too, how about it?

00:09:17.033 --> 00:09:19.533
So come to a comfortable seat,

00:09:21.133 --> 00:09:24.700
and just take a
second to sit up tall.

00:09:26.033 --> 00:09:30.066
And right away,
notice how that feels,

00:09:31.567 --> 00:09:33.333
and I'm going
there today, guys, right?

00:09:33.333 --> 00:09:37.200
I'm not gonna let
this opportunity go by.

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.433
Really notice what it
feels like to sit up tall,

00:09:39.433 --> 00:09:42.433
and kind of set the
tone for our practice.

00:09:42.433 --> 00:09:46.100
Let's contribute to the future
of yoga here too by saying,

00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:49.233
oh, what does it feel like
for me to sit up tall today?

00:09:49.233 --> 00:09:52.800
Instead of, what did I maybe

00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:54.600
thought meant to sit up tall,

00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.567
so what I'm trying
to say is, often people

00:09:56.567 --> 00:09:59.567
invite us to sit up
tall, and we go like this,

00:09:59.567 --> 00:10:03.667
and we get really rigid,
and we conform to this idea

00:10:03.667 --> 00:10:05.367
of what it is
like to sit up tall,

00:10:05.367 --> 00:10:07.734
so right away,

00:10:07.734 --> 00:10:12.033
find what it
feels like to sit up tall today.

00:10:14.300 --> 00:10:17.934
I like to invite you to
see maybe this alignment

00:10:17.934 --> 00:10:20.734
of head over heart,
heart over pelvis,

00:10:20.734 --> 00:10:23.934
'cause that'll be a
little different for everyone.

00:10:23.934 --> 00:10:26.600
And ultimately, we're just
sending a little awareness out

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.100
through all parts of the body,

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.900
grounding our energy, me too,
I'm a human girl in my home,

00:10:34.900 --> 00:10:36.700
we have more people here
today than we normally have

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:39.533
shooting Yoga With Adriene,
so let's just all take a moment

00:10:39.533 --> 00:10:42.934
to kind of ground
our energy, our nerves,

00:10:42.934 --> 00:10:48.266
and choose to make the
most of this connection.

00:10:52.533 --> 00:10:55.600
Open your mind
to a new experience.

00:10:59.667 --> 00:11:05.033
And open your heart to om,

00:11:05.033 --> 00:11:07.166
to this universal connection.

00:11:10.567 --> 00:11:14.266
Just let the hands rest
wherever they naturally fall,

00:11:14.266 --> 00:11:17.333
and continue to
notice what it feels like

00:11:17.333 --> 00:11:19.333
to sit up nice and tall.

00:11:23.533 --> 00:11:26.166
Notice any other
sounds that are occurring

00:11:26.166 --> 00:11:29.000
around the space
that you inhabit.

00:11:33.300 --> 00:11:35.600
And start to notice, you
might close your eyes now

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.800
if you haven't
already, trust me,

00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:41.467
trust yourself, trust
this livestream video.

00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:48.734
Close your eyes and
start to notice, if you can,

00:11:48.734 --> 00:11:52.367
perhaps, the quality
of the air in the room,

00:11:52.367 --> 00:11:54.033
or wherever you are.

00:12:00.767 --> 00:12:05.467
And then for now, let
go of the day thus far,

00:12:05.467 --> 00:12:09.200
and let's put whatever
tasks or to-dos that we have

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.000
for later in the day,
or in the future,

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.667
let's politely put them on hold.

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:23.767
And without the need
to define why, or what,

00:12:23.767 --> 00:12:26.066
see if you can just
start to drop into your breath,

00:12:26.066 --> 00:12:27.700
and really connect
to this experience,

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:29.300
it's really beautiful
what we're doing here,

00:12:29.300 --> 00:12:32.367
if you think about it.
So let's not get distracted

00:12:32.367 --> 00:12:36.633
with all these needs
and wants to define, and,

00:12:38.867 --> 00:12:40.934
let's just be present.

00:12:40.934 --> 00:12:42.533
You showed up,
thank you so much,

00:12:42.533 --> 00:12:43.834
so now show up and be present,

00:12:43.834 --> 00:12:46.867
and we'll just allow a
little story to unfold here

00:12:46.867 --> 00:12:48.667
through the practice.

00:12:48.667 --> 00:12:51.000
Start to notice your breath.

00:12:59.133 --> 00:13:01.734
Lately, on the
channel and in my classes

00:13:01.734 --> 00:13:04.433
we've been talking about,

00:13:04.433 --> 00:13:06.934
when we're asked to
move with the breath,

00:13:06.934 --> 00:13:09.633
or be with the breath,
or practice breath,

00:13:09.633 --> 00:13:11.367
in yoga, what that really means,

00:13:11.367 --> 00:13:13.667
and what that really feels like.

00:13:13.667 --> 00:13:15.567
So we've been
asking this question,

00:13:15.567 --> 00:13:18.600
what if your
breath were your spirit?

00:13:22.033 --> 00:13:26.233
After all, when you
stop breathing, what happens?

00:13:29.967 --> 00:13:34.667
As you're ready, take a
big inhale through your nose,

00:13:34.667 --> 00:13:35.600
here we go.

00:13:38.166 --> 00:13:39.700
And in your own
time, just exhale,

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:43.834
relax your shoulders down,
actively away from your ears.

00:13:45.166 --> 00:13:47.600
Keep dropping in, big inhale.

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:53.133
Exhale, just relax your
shoulders, just be here.

00:13:54.367 --> 00:13:56.700
One more time, big inhale.

00:13:59.367 --> 00:14:00.567
And exhale.

00:14:02.867 --> 00:14:06.567
Now, with a little om,

00:14:06.567 --> 00:14:09.166
with a big consciousness,

00:14:09.166 --> 00:14:12.033
bring your palms
together at your heart.

00:14:12.033 --> 00:14:14.667
Anjali Mudra.

00:14:14.667 --> 00:14:16.800
So very thoughtful
with everything we do here

00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:19.667
in the practice today, any ideas

00:14:19.667 --> 00:14:22.633
that the way we move on our mat

00:14:22.633 --> 00:14:25.300
is often the way
we move off the mat,

00:14:25.300 --> 00:14:29.700
so let's be really
thoughtful and gentle today.

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:31.633
Palms pressed together,

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:37.133
inhale lots of love in,

00:14:38.533 --> 00:14:41.367
exhale lots of love out,
bow the head to the heart,

00:14:41.367 --> 00:14:45.900
start to feel a stretch
in the back of the neck here.

00:14:45.900 --> 00:14:49.800
Continue to deepen your breath.

00:14:51.734 --> 00:14:53.967
And then as you're ready,
just draw the shoulder blades

00:14:53.967 --> 00:14:58.266
a little bit together,
and down the back body.

00:14:58.266 --> 00:15:02.066
So you should feel a nice
stretch in the back of the neck.

00:15:02.066 --> 00:15:04.433
Choose to let go of
any stress, any tension,

00:15:04.433 --> 00:15:07.767
any extra weight
you've been holding on,

00:15:07.767 --> 00:15:10.700
understanding and acknowledging

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:14.367
that when we take
time to tend to ourselves,

00:15:16.266 --> 00:15:20.266
we then have the energy
we need to serve others.

00:15:23.767 --> 00:15:26.600
Take one more breath
here as you bow head to heart,

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.066
mind intelligence to body
intelligence to your spirit,

00:15:30.066 --> 00:15:31.166
breathe deep.

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:36.300
And then slowly lift the chin,

00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:39.200
send the
fingertips to your side,

00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.333
and deep breath
in, and horsey lips,

00:15:42.333 --> 00:15:43.500
here we go, blow it out.

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:46.500
(flaps lips)

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:48.233
So try to forget what you
think you know about yoga here,

00:15:48.233 --> 00:15:51.033
that's what horsey
lips does, I used to hate

00:15:51.033 --> 00:15:52.867
doing stuff like that.

00:15:55.934 --> 00:15:57.767
But it's really nice
for the brain-body connect.

00:15:57.767 --> 00:15:59.600
Start to pull your
pinkies back just a little bit,

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.333
let's do one more
big inhale into the nose

00:16:01.333 --> 00:16:03.767
in case you missed it, horsey
lips out through the mouth.

00:16:03.767 --> 00:16:06.166
(flaps lips)

00:16:08.033 --> 00:16:10.333
A little sacred
spit there, okay.

00:16:10.333 --> 00:16:12.000
And then lift your
heart, and then plant

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.700
your left palm down, keep
rooted through your sits bones,

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:17.033
so hips nice and
heavy here, as you take

00:16:17.033 --> 00:16:18.967
the right
fingertips all the way up,

00:16:18.967 --> 00:16:21.166
get a big stretch in
the right side body here,

00:16:21.166 --> 00:16:23.333
stretch, stretch, stretch,
for those of us in the U.S.,

00:16:23.333 --> 00:16:26.467
good morning,
Saturday morning yoga.

00:16:26.467 --> 00:16:29.633
It's the new
Saturday morning cartoon.

00:16:30.934 --> 00:16:32.734
I thought of that
one this morning, inhale,

00:16:32.734 --> 00:16:34.934
exhale, deepen your stretch.

00:16:34.934 --> 00:16:38.300
Now from here, move slow and
gentle, find what feels good,

00:16:38.300 --> 00:16:42.667
so no holding, no rigid energy
here, see if you can soften,

00:16:42.667 --> 00:16:45.066
even if you're practicing,
and it's not morning,

00:16:45.066 --> 00:16:47.166
see if you can use
this as an opportunity

00:16:47.166 --> 00:16:51.200
to shine a little light
in the dark places, right?

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.900
Tend to those shadowy spots.

00:16:55.567 --> 00:16:57.066
And then take a deep breath in,

00:16:57.066 --> 00:16:59.367
maybe pull your right
thumb back and lift your chest,

00:16:59.367 --> 00:17:03.100
open your heart, and then
exhale all the way through,

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:04.934
fingertips come to
the mat, and we'll take it

00:17:04.934 --> 00:17:07.000
to the other side, take it
nice and slow, don't rush this,

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.767
don't jerk yourself around,
we do that plenty off the mat.

00:17:09.767 --> 00:17:11.300
Here we go, left
fingertips reach up,

00:17:11.300 --> 00:17:15.800
take a big stretch here, find
expansion as you breathe in,

00:17:15.800 --> 00:17:19.967
and then exhale, side body
stretch, make it your own here.

00:17:23.934 --> 00:17:24.767
Yeah.

00:17:26.934 --> 00:17:29.233
And then pull that
left thumb back, inhale,

00:17:29.233 --> 00:17:31.767
open your chest,
think Cobra here.

00:17:31.767 --> 00:17:34.967
And then exhale back to center.

00:17:34.967 --> 00:17:37.633
Alright, send the
fingertips forward,

00:17:37.633 --> 00:17:41.033
then plug the
shoulders in, flip the palms,

00:17:41.033 --> 00:17:44.066
stretch through the hands.

00:17:45.934 --> 00:17:50.767
Lots of jokes here,
but you gotta, no editing.

00:17:50.767 --> 00:17:52.967
Alright, here we go, flip
the script, Thriller arms,

00:17:52.967 --> 00:17:54.600
stretching through
the forearms, the wrist,

00:17:54.600 --> 00:17:55.967
a lot of people
say, "Oh, I can't do yoga

00:17:55.967 --> 00:17:57.567
"because I have weak wrists."

00:17:57.567 --> 00:18:01.767
I would like to very
kindly and lovingly invite you

00:18:01.767 --> 00:18:03.200
to give that a second thought,

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.500
and let's see if we
can work on the wrists,

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:09.200
and see if we can build some
strength there mindfully,

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.233
and some stability.

00:18:11.233 --> 00:18:12.867
I can say that, because I was
one of the people that said

00:18:12.867 --> 00:18:13.867
I have weak wrists.

00:18:13.867 --> 00:18:16.233
Okay, take a couple seconds
here to do wrist circles,

00:18:16.233 --> 00:18:19.567
or find a deeper stretch,
and then when you're ready,

00:18:19.567 --> 00:18:21.800
we're gonna take it
all the way forward,

00:18:21.800 --> 00:18:24.533
and through to
Tabletop Position,

00:18:25.533 --> 00:18:28.934
where we'll get to check our
thoughts about the wrists,

00:18:28.934 --> 00:18:31.500
and we'll get to
connect to this sweet Earth,

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:34.934
and once again, think about how
many people around the world

00:18:34.934 --> 00:18:39.667
are practicing with you
here, and me here, together.

00:18:39.667 --> 00:18:41.600
Om, Project OM.

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:44.633
Spread the palms super wide,
and then stack your shoulders

00:18:44.633 --> 00:18:47.233
right over your wrists.

00:18:47.233 --> 00:18:49.333
Then bring your knees
underneath your hip points

00:18:49.333 --> 00:18:51.567
and press the
feet into the earth,

00:18:51.567 --> 00:18:53.266
and if you're not
doing the asana practice

00:18:53.266 --> 00:18:55.700
with us here today, remember,
you can still do the yoga,

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:57.967
asana's only one
branch of yoga anyway,

00:18:57.967 --> 00:19:00.500
so if you're sitting in a
chair, in a couch, breathe deep,

00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:03.633
find that head over
heart over pelvis alignment.

00:19:03.633 --> 00:19:06.867
No one left behind, right?

00:19:06.867 --> 00:19:09.367
Om, we are one.

00:19:09.367 --> 00:19:11.834
Here we go, gaze
straight down when you're ready,

00:19:11.834 --> 00:19:12.800
so when you
feel like you got it,

00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:14.166
gaze straight
down so you can broaden

00:19:14.166 --> 00:19:17.900
through the back of the neck,
then hug the lower ribs in,

00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:19.934
think about bringing
your navel to your spine,

00:19:19.934 --> 00:19:22.266
finding some
length in the tailbone,

00:19:22.266 --> 00:19:25.900
and we're creating
this nice, long line.

00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:26.867
They did not
tell me to say this,

00:19:26.867 --> 00:19:28.433
but this Manduka
mat's kinda great

00:19:28.433 --> 00:19:30.667
that it has this
line here, because

00:19:30.667 --> 00:19:33.834
I can use it as an
image for my spine.

00:19:35.667 --> 00:19:40.200
We talk about the danda,
Sanskrit for stick or staff,

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.834
so connecting to
the line of the spine,

00:19:42.834 --> 00:19:45.300
or your danda
here, and to test that,

00:19:45.300 --> 00:19:47.200
we're gonna curl the toes under,

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.100
energetically
pull the palms back,

00:19:49.100 --> 00:19:51.133
and we're also gonna light a
little fire in our belly here,

00:19:51.133 --> 00:19:52.600
when you're
ready, this is optional,

00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:55.300
you don't have to do it,
lift the knees, let them hover.

00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:57.633
Now, try to do it
without letting your danda,

00:19:57.633 --> 00:20:02.200
the spine, collapse, so we're
finding support from within.

00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.734
Metaphor, we're here for five.

00:20:04.734 --> 00:20:06.467
Four, notice that
shape, that Prana,

00:20:06.467 --> 00:20:08.233
that is not weakness,
man, that is energy,

00:20:08.233 --> 00:20:09.734
that is aliveness.

00:20:09.734 --> 00:20:12.000
Three, two, one,
beautiful, lower the knees.

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.500
Come on to the tops of the feet.

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:15.100
Claw in to the
fingertips to take some pressure

00:20:15.100 --> 00:20:16.600
out of your wrists,
and here we go,

00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:20.800
inhale, drop the belly, open
the chest, smile a little bit.

00:20:22.734 --> 00:20:25.800
Exhale, rounding through,
start with your tail.

00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:28.467
Cat Pose,
navel draws up, and you feel

00:20:28.467 --> 00:20:30.633
this broadening
through the back body,

00:20:30.633 --> 00:20:32.600
particularly
the upper back body.

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:35.433
Shake the head
loose here a couple times,

00:20:35.433 --> 00:20:38.333
then press into
the earth, inhale.

00:20:38.333 --> 00:20:40.300
Drop the belly, open the chest,

00:20:40.300 --> 00:20:43.967
Cow Pose, create space.

00:20:43.967 --> 00:20:48.567
Exhale, chin to chest,
navel to spine, Cat Pose.

00:20:48.567 --> 00:20:51.867
Do one more on your own with
the sound of your breath.

00:20:51.867 --> 00:20:54.033
(inhales)

00:20:57.567 --> 00:20:59.734
(exhales)

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.133
Beautiful, then inhale,
come back to neutral,

00:21:05.133 --> 00:21:06.667
Tabletop Position.

00:21:06.667 --> 00:21:07.934
We're gonna come off
the wrist by dropping

00:21:07.934 --> 00:21:10.600
the elbows exactly
where the hands were,

00:21:10.600 --> 00:21:13.834
and then try to keep
your forearms parallel here.

00:21:13.834 --> 00:21:15.500
Oh, why did I choose this one?

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:16.533
'Cause it feels so good, okay,

00:21:16.533 --> 00:21:18.834
inhale, open the
chest, and then exhale,

00:21:18.834 --> 00:21:22.734
notice how my tail's still
pointing up towards the sky,

00:21:22.734 --> 00:21:24.266
you're gonna
actually enhance that,

00:21:24.266 --> 00:21:25.800
should feel really
good in the pelvis,

00:21:25.800 --> 00:21:27.400
and then you're
gonna walk the knees back,

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.200
but keep the hands and
the arms and the elbows

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:31.433
exactly where they are.

00:21:31.433 --> 00:21:36.600
Big heart opener here,
so you gauge how it feels.

00:21:36.600 --> 00:21:39.934
You guide yourself in and
out and through the poses,

00:21:39.934 --> 00:21:43.166
so notice what
it feels like here.

00:21:43.166 --> 00:21:45.633
Be present, listen to
the sound of your breath,

00:21:45.633 --> 00:21:48.667
should feel really
good for most people

00:21:48.667 --> 00:21:50.767
who spend a lot of
time with their shoulders

00:21:50.767 --> 00:21:52.100
rounded forward.

00:21:54.667 --> 00:21:56.767
Keep some awareness,
climb through the fingertips,

00:21:56.767 --> 00:22:01.266
pressing through the toes,
creating a full body experience.

00:22:01.266 --> 00:22:04.100
Yoga union,
uniting all the parts.

00:22:05.467 --> 00:22:07.066
Hey-o!

00:22:07.066 --> 00:22:08.033
The first one.

00:22:08.033 --> 00:22:10.100
Okay, from your center,
navel draws up,

00:22:10.100 --> 00:22:12.033
so move from a place of connect,

00:22:12.033 --> 00:22:14.233
so the navel draws up,
and that's what takes us

00:22:14.233 --> 00:22:16.333
all the way forward.
We're gonna come

00:22:16.333 --> 00:22:19.600
all the way under the
belly, open the chest here,

00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:23.066
Sphinx Pose,
tuck the chin slightly,

00:22:23.066 --> 00:22:27.233
bring a little humble energy
to the shape, a little grace.

00:22:29.300 --> 00:22:32.300
Beautiful,
inhale in, and exhale,

00:22:32.300 --> 00:22:34.467
slowly release,
heart to the earth.

00:22:34.467 --> 00:22:37.000
You guys are doing
great, slide the hands back,

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.800
under the shoulders,
curl the toes under,

00:22:38.800 --> 00:22:41.834
ready, here we go, you can
always come to the knees here,

00:22:41.834 --> 00:22:43.467
inhale, look
straight down, try to keep

00:22:43.467 --> 00:22:46.800
a strong awareness on
your spine, or your danda here,

00:22:46.800 --> 00:22:50.400
as you exhale,
press up, Plank Pose.

00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.300
Now, let's make
this an ocean plank.

00:22:53.300 --> 00:22:54.266
What the hell is that?

00:22:54.266 --> 00:22:55.867
I don't know, let's find out.

00:22:55.867 --> 00:22:57.433
Find a little softness,
again, you can come

00:22:57.433 --> 00:22:59.767
to the knees here,
and just work on

00:22:59.767 --> 00:23:03.066
creating strength and
stability in the wrists slowly.

00:23:03.066 --> 00:23:05.166
If you're a cyclist or a runner,

00:23:05.166 --> 00:23:09.166
or you wear high heels,
or whatever the hell you do,

00:23:09.166 --> 00:23:10.900
you might wanna
stretch through the Achilles

00:23:10.900 --> 00:23:14.967
or the calf here, calves.

00:23:14.967 --> 00:23:17.333
And then when you're
ready, we're gonna send

00:23:17.333 --> 00:23:20.133
the hips up high,
and melt the heart back,

00:23:20.133 --> 00:23:21.867
but I want you to
decide when you do it

00:23:21.867 --> 00:23:25.467
and how you do it, really move
from a place of connect, so,

00:23:25.467 --> 00:23:27.233
I'll use an inhale
and an exhale to do it,

00:23:27.233 --> 00:23:31.400
but take your time, I'll
meet you in Downward Dog.

00:23:33.967 --> 00:23:38.266
And then continue
that soft, easy movement,

00:23:38.266 --> 00:23:41.867
and if you start to feel a
little shake, or a tremble,

00:23:41.867 --> 00:23:46.266
welcome that beautiful,
fresh, new flush of energy.

00:23:49.033 --> 00:23:52.467
So by the end of this
practice, you should feel like

00:23:52.467 --> 00:23:57.200
you've cultivated a new
flow of energy in the body.

00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.967
And in so many cultures,
it's not just yoga or this,

00:24:00.967 --> 00:24:05.133
or that, in so many cultures
and even in science now,

00:24:05.133 --> 00:24:07.934
we

00:24:07.934 --> 00:24:13.233
kind of consider the spine
as this really sacred channel

00:24:13.233 --> 00:24:15.734
that different lines
of energy run through.

00:24:15.734 --> 00:24:17.867
So when you feel that
shake, it's not, "I am weak,"

00:24:17.867 --> 00:24:20.266
it's, you are alive!

00:24:20.266 --> 00:24:22.200
And quite well, my friend.

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.166
Alright, baby steps to the top
of the mat when you're ready.

00:24:25.166 --> 00:24:27.233
Use this, I see so
many people blowing

00:24:27.233 --> 00:24:29.834
through this
beautiful transition.

00:24:29.834 --> 00:24:31.967
Check in with your
feet, be humble by it.

00:24:31.967 --> 00:24:34.367
Oh, tight hamstrings, all of us,

00:24:34.367 --> 00:24:37.533
no matter how much yoga you do.

00:24:37.533 --> 00:24:38.834
So bend your
knees when you land,

00:24:38.834 --> 00:24:42.433
Forward Fold at
the top of your mat.

00:24:42.433 --> 00:24:47.934
Inhale, big breath,
exhale, let it all go.

00:24:47.934 --> 00:24:51.233
You can clasp the elbows here,

00:24:51.233 --> 00:24:54.800
you can take your finger
and write someone's name

00:24:54.800 --> 00:24:58.667
in imaginary sand,
be present, dudes!

00:24:58.667 --> 00:25:00.467
Drop the doing of
the yoga and let's tell

00:25:00.467 --> 00:25:02.100
a little story
with the body, I mean,

00:25:02.100 --> 00:25:04.400
we're already
telling this amazing story

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.567
just by all of us showing
up here for the livestream!

00:25:08.567 --> 00:25:12.233
So stay awake, be
present to the experience.

00:25:13.834 --> 00:25:16.233
That's why I love saying
forget what you think you know

00:25:16.233 --> 00:25:18.133
about yoga, and I try
to do the same thing too

00:25:18.133 --> 00:25:19.967
every time I show up.

00:25:19.967 --> 00:25:24.033
Of course, it's hard,
'cause autopilot's so easy!

00:25:25.333 --> 00:25:27.600
But what feels good,
what's fulfilling, here we go,

00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:30.166
inhale, halfway lift,
the goal here is to connect

00:25:30.166 --> 00:25:33.433
to that line of the spine,
the danda, with the breath,

00:25:33.433 --> 00:25:35.600
so you inhale, connect, plug in,

00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:39.533
and then exhale,
seamlessly here, fold,

00:25:39.533 --> 00:25:42.967
let's try it again,
inhale to find expansion,

00:25:42.967 --> 00:25:45.166
pull the shoulders back,
create length,

00:25:45.166 --> 00:25:48.266
just focus on the
sensation rather than the shape.

00:25:48.266 --> 00:25:50.433
And then exhale, contract.

00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:53.800
And one more time
again, cultivating

00:25:53.800 --> 00:25:57.834
that healthy flow of energy
that runs up and down the spine,

00:25:57.834 --> 00:26:02.533
inhale, and exhale to fold.

00:26:02.533 --> 00:26:04.633
Plant the feet, they
can be hip-width apart

00:26:04.633 --> 00:26:06.100
or flushed together,
it doesn't matter to me,

00:26:06.100 --> 00:26:08.700
just nice, conscious footing,
and then bend your knees

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:12.000
so much so that your belly
toward the tops of the thighs,

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.500
it doesn't have to
touch, and then from your navel,

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:17.700
actually,
pulling in your center.

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:22.367
Your center pulls in,
your tailbone lengthens down,

00:26:22.367 --> 00:26:26.433
and slowly, we
roll up, tuck your chin,

00:26:26.433 --> 00:26:31.467
take your time,
meet in Mountain Pose.

00:26:35.066 --> 00:26:36.667
And then when you
get there, a lot of you

00:26:36.667 --> 00:26:38.567
have heard me say this,

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.700
you know what to do.

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:44.667
I'm sure thousands
of people are like,

00:26:44.667 --> 00:26:46.100
"No, girl, I don't
know what to do,

00:26:46.100 --> 00:26:47.834
"tell me what the hell to do,"

00:26:47.834 --> 00:26:50.033
but the thing is, you
actually do know what to do,

00:26:50.033 --> 00:26:54.500
so fix your hair,
pull up your pantaloons,

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:58.400
lick your lips,
stretch your jaw.

00:27:00.800 --> 00:27:04.967
Maybe you find stillness a
lot quicker than you thought,

00:27:08.533 --> 00:27:10.767
so we're blasting
through these vinyasa classes,

00:27:10.767 --> 00:27:15.567
we sometimes, not all the time,
just sharing my experience,

00:27:15.567 --> 00:27:18.467
we kind of blast
through that listening,

00:27:18.467 --> 00:27:21.033
and that is kind of the most,

00:27:23.767 --> 00:27:25.600
that's the good stuff.

00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:28.266
So each time we
come to Mountain,

00:27:28.266 --> 00:27:31.033
you'll have that experience,
and you can take this

00:27:31.033 --> 00:27:33.734
invitation with
you off the mat today

00:27:33.734 --> 00:27:36.233
and into your other practices.

00:27:37.834 --> 00:27:42.600
Be brave, listen to your
body, listen to your breath.

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:44.300
Soft bend in the knees,
when you're ready,

00:27:44.300 --> 00:27:45.900
we're gonna inhale,
reach for the sky,

00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:49.867
take a big stretch,
just notice what it feels like

00:27:49.867 --> 00:27:52.834
up and down the body,
one moving part here,

00:27:52.834 --> 00:27:55.400
inhale, and then
exhale, bend the knees,

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.500
move slow here all the
way down, Forward Fold.

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:02.333
Big inhale to
lift you up halfway.

00:28:03.166 --> 00:28:06.266
Find length, and
then exhale to fold.

00:28:08.333 --> 00:28:10.633
Inhale, reach for
the sky, bend your knees,

00:28:10.633 --> 00:28:12.600
feel your feet
pressing into the earth again,

00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:15.500
think of the body
as one moving part,

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:18.433
and then exhale, hands to heart.

00:28:18.433 --> 00:28:19.033
Sweet.

00:28:19.033 --> 00:28:22.133
If the feet are together,
step them hip width apart,

00:28:22.133 --> 00:28:24.400
you're gonna bring the
fingertips to your side.

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:26.133
Take what you need,
leave what you don't,

00:28:26.133 --> 00:28:28.433
so if you need
to fix stuff, great,

00:28:28.433 --> 00:28:31.834
but if you don't,
leave it, it's a practice.

00:28:31.834 --> 00:28:33.033
There's a lot more to that.

00:28:33.033 --> 00:28:35.033
Alright, it wouldn't
be a special practice

00:28:35.033 --> 00:28:37.033
if we didn't do some
knocking on heaven's door,

00:28:37.033 --> 00:28:40.400
so plant your feet,
find soft bend in the knees,

00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:43.300
open up through the chest,
think of someone you love.

00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:47.467
Dedicate this next
little beat to someone you love,

00:28:47.467 --> 00:28:50.266
whether they're here,
present with you,

00:28:50.266 --> 00:28:52.500
in body, or just in spirit.

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:55.934
And take a deep breath in.

00:28:55.934 --> 00:28:56.767
Then on the exhale,

00:28:56.767 --> 00:28:58.233
you're gonna just
swing your arms

00:28:58.233 --> 00:29:00.567
to one side, back and forth.

00:29:04.433 --> 00:29:06.300
Now, it's important to
keep soft bend in the knees,

00:29:06.300 --> 00:29:08.633
so you don't tweak your knee,
and stay a little bit alive

00:29:08.633 --> 00:29:11.633
in your toes, I like
to kinda lift my toes.

00:29:11.633 --> 00:29:12.767
And then I thought
this was a good one,

00:29:12.767 --> 00:29:14.266
because we're probably
gonna get a lot of people

00:29:14.266 --> 00:29:16.333
on this livestream, I hope,
I haven't checked it,

00:29:16.333 --> 00:29:18.266
I'm just going in blind here,

00:29:18.266 --> 00:29:21.233
but this is one that
will really help you forget

00:29:21.233 --> 00:29:23.133
what you think
you know about yoga.

00:29:23.133 --> 00:29:25.166
So this is stuff we
used to do as a kid,

00:29:25.166 --> 00:29:28.133
so you can start to beat
yourself a little too here.

00:29:28.133 --> 00:29:30.367
(chuckles)

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.700
Get into a rhythm.

00:29:34.867 --> 00:29:37.667
"She told me to beat myself!"

00:29:37.667 --> 00:29:40.233
You know what I mean,
find a little connection.

00:29:40.233 --> 00:29:42.133
And then keep it going.

00:29:43.633 --> 00:29:45.600
For all my
Kundalini homies out there,

00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:48.066
maybe you find a sharp exhale.

00:29:48.066 --> 00:29:50.700
(exhaling)

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:52.934
Or to anyone who wants

00:29:52.934 --> 00:29:57.233
to try exploring movement,

00:29:58.166 --> 00:30:03.433
breath, and sound, this is
something that my mom taught me.

00:30:03.433 --> 00:30:07.867
And it's Mother's Day
weekend, so mom, I love you.

00:30:07.867 --> 00:30:09.867
Emotional.
(chuckles)

00:30:09.867 --> 00:30:11.533
Okay, keep it going,
and see if you can find

00:30:11.533 --> 00:30:15.433
a little bit of a faster
tempo if it's okay with you.

00:30:15.433 --> 00:30:18.033
And then get out of your head,

00:30:18.033 --> 00:30:20.633
give the thinking mind a break.

00:30:24.333 --> 00:30:26.433
And for heaven's
sakes, this is called

00:30:26.433 --> 00:30:30.767
knocking on heaven's door,
so enjoy yourself,

00:30:30.767 --> 00:30:32.533
laugh if you need to.

00:30:35.533 --> 00:30:38.767
Alright, then we'll
come back to center,

00:30:38.767 --> 00:30:41.200
and then fingertips
draw down, Mountain Pose.

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:43.166
Take what you need,
leave what you don't.

00:30:43.166 --> 00:30:45.333
If you don't need to fidget,
you don't need to do anything,

00:30:45.333 --> 00:30:48.333
just notice,
and if you do, totally.

00:30:50.633 --> 00:30:54.266
Let's notice the
energy of the body,

00:30:54.266 --> 00:30:57.533
the flushing, I feel
it through my arms.

00:30:58.633 --> 00:31:01.333
Yeah, that's the good stuff.
Here we go, soft knees,

00:31:01.333 --> 00:31:05.300
so bend your knees and
inhale, reach for the sky.

00:31:05.300 --> 00:31:07.066
Exhale, Forward Fold.

00:31:09.967 --> 00:31:13.767
Inhale, find that
halfway lift, your version,

00:31:13.767 --> 00:31:15.900
just find extension,
expansion, length,

00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:20.066
and then exhale
naturally, contraction, fold.

00:31:20.066 --> 00:31:21.900
Beautiful, this time
we're gonna bring the fingertips

00:31:21.900 --> 00:31:24.700
to the mat, guys, and we're
gonna step the right toes back

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:27.700
and lower the right knee.
Big stretch here.

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:31.667
If you need a little more,
totally understand,

00:31:31.667 --> 00:31:34.100
walk the right knee back.

00:31:34.100 --> 00:31:35.467
Front knee is over front ankle,

00:31:35.467 --> 00:31:37.000
and then make sure
you're not on that right rope,

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:39.500
so give yourself a
little bit of space,

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:41.633
and then notice what it
feels like to be alive today

00:31:41.633 --> 00:31:43.767
here in your hips.

00:31:43.767 --> 00:31:45.567
Pull the left hip
crease back a bit,

00:31:45.567 --> 00:31:48.000
and notice if you're
collapsing in the neck,

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.734
Remember, the neck is a

00:31:49.734 --> 00:31:52.233
beautiful extension
of your spine.

00:31:54.133 --> 00:31:57.133
So open your
chest, open your heart.

00:31:58.133 --> 00:31:59.533
Alright, so we usually do

00:31:59.533 --> 00:32:01.400
Wu-Tang Clan here
on the channel,

00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:02.767
but it's Project OM, so today,

00:32:02.767 --> 00:32:04.433
we're gonna send
the fingertips forward,

00:32:04.433 --> 00:32:06.233
hook the thumbs,
but instead of Wu-Tang,

00:32:06.233 --> 00:32:09.700
we're gonna go down and find
that Thriller arm stretch here,

00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:11.333
and if you're dumping all
your weight into that hip,

00:32:11.333 --> 00:32:13.900
maybe start to pull up here
and stack head over heart,

00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:15.166
heart over pelvis.

00:32:15.166 --> 00:32:19.333
So, different bodies, different
sensations you'll play here.

00:32:19.333 --> 00:32:22.533
And it's an M!

00:32:22.533 --> 00:32:26.500
I know that's super cheesy,
but just give me this.

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:28.900
Okay, one more breath,
inhale, plug the shoulders in,

00:32:28.900 --> 00:32:33.266
lift your chest, and then
exhale, have some fun, release.

00:32:33.266 --> 00:32:36.300
Great, plant the palms,
lift the back knee,

00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:38.600
step the left
toes back, you're back

00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:42.533
in that Plank Pose strong,
step into your power, inhale,

00:32:42.533 --> 00:32:45.367
exhale, lower to the
belly, inhale, Cobra.

00:32:45.367 --> 00:32:48.934
If you're pregnant,
just do a Cat-Cow, my loves,

00:32:48.934 --> 00:32:50.400
or if you want more fire today,

00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.533
take it chaturanga
to Upward Facing Dog,

00:32:52.533 --> 00:32:53.967
so you're gonna go
through your little version

00:32:53.967 --> 00:32:58.467
of a flow of a vinyasa, and
we'll come to Downward Dog

00:32:58.467 --> 00:33:01.100
to sync up again.

00:33:01.100 --> 00:33:05.166
Inhale deeply, and then
exhale, let something go.

00:33:07.266 --> 00:33:09.266
Awesome, now step your
right foot all the way up,

00:33:09.266 --> 00:33:10.967
this time, lower the left knee,

00:33:10.967 --> 00:33:12.900
and if you need
a little more here,

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:16.433
you want that stretch, walk
that left knee back, no biggie.

00:33:16.433 --> 00:33:19.100
Front knee over front ankle,
so avoid any of this action,

00:33:19.100 --> 00:33:20.266
bring it back.

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.667
And then when you're ready,
open the chest, open your heart,

00:33:25.667 --> 00:33:26.767
and notice what
it feels like to be

00:33:26.767 --> 00:33:28.867
in this shape here today.

00:33:32.467 --> 00:33:33.667
And here we go, hook the thumbs,

00:33:33.667 --> 00:33:34.867
pull the right hip, crease back,

00:33:34.867 --> 00:33:36.467
find a little
support from within,

00:33:36.467 --> 00:33:38.300
you're gonna
plug the shoulders in,

00:33:38.300 --> 00:33:39.533
just like we did
in Thriller arms,

00:33:39.533 --> 00:33:42.166
send the fingertips down.

00:33:42.166 --> 00:33:45.033
Lift your chest,
open your heart.

00:33:45.033 --> 00:33:46.700
Just have some
fun with it, squeeze

00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:48.900
the inner thighs together.

00:33:51.834 --> 00:33:55.967
And flip the script,
inhale, and exhale, release.

00:33:55.967 --> 00:33:58.233
Same thing, plant the palms,
step the right toes back,

00:33:58.233 --> 00:33:59.967
we're starting to
create a little more heat,

00:33:59.967 --> 00:34:02.600
so just move
mindfully, belly to cobra,

00:34:02.600 --> 00:34:06.266
Cat-Cow for pregnant ladies,
or maybe you take

00:34:06.266 --> 00:34:08.333
chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog.

00:34:08.333 --> 00:34:10.233
You can also just go
straight to that Down Dog,

00:34:10.233 --> 00:34:12.699
make it your own.
You're my hero.

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:15.567
Inhale, exhale, navel to spine,

00:34:15.567 --> 00:34:19.065
move from your center,
Downward Facing Dog.

00:34:19.065 --> 00:34:23.266
Deep breath in, lion's
breath, tongue out, let it go.

00:34:24.333 --> 00:34:26.500
Inhale, look to the top,
bend your knees,

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:31.467
you can do baby steps again,
or rag doll, or float,

00:34:31.467 --> 00:34:33.433
jump, grapevine
all the way to the top,

00:34:33.433 --> 00:34:35.934
I'll meet you in Forward Fold.

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.467
When you're ready, feel your
feet pressing into the earth,

00:34:39.467 --> 00:34:41.533
let that be a
rebound for inhale,

00:34:41.533 --> 00:34:44.100
halfway lift, find length,

00:34:44.100 --> 00:34:47.333
smile, exhale, soften and fold.

00:34:47.333 --> 00:34:50.166
Inhale, reach for the sky,
spread the fingertips,

00:34:50.166 --> 00:34:51.900
think about how many
people are doing this

00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:55.667
all around the
world together as one,

00:34:55.667 --> 00:34:59.533
and hands come together
and down towards your heart,

00:34:59.533 --> 00:35:03.700
prayer position, just think
about what that's called too.

00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.834
So really connect.

00:35:06.834 --> 00:35:08.767
Be thoughtful.

00:35:08.767 --> 00:35:10.667
Why? Because you're
worth it, it's your life,

00:35:10.667 --> 00:35:13.433
you should totally enjoy it.

00:35:13.433 --> 00:35:17.266
Soft bend in the knees,
inhale, reach for the sky.

00:35:17.266 --> 00:35:20.700
Exhale, all the way
down, take your time.

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:25.867
Big inhale to find expansion,
what's the natural thing

00:35:25.867 --> 00:35:27.567
that comes after expansion?

00:35:27.567 --> 00:35:29.500
Oh, we surrender.

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:33.300
Contraction, Forward Fold.

00:35:33.300 --> 00:35:34.934
Great, this time,
plant the palms,

00:35:34.934 --> 00:35:38.834
you're gonna step the right
toes back, left toes back,

00:35:38.834 --> 00:35:41.233
move through a vinyasa or
go straight to Downward Dog.

00:35:41.233 --> 00:35:43.667
So lots of different
bodies, lots of different

00:35:43.667 --> 00:35:46.667
energy levels
here practicing today.

00:35:47.600 --> 00:35:51.467
From the Downward Dog, we'll
anchor through the left heel,

00:35:51.467 --> 00:35:54.500
and inhale, lift
the right leg up high.

00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:57.066
Deep breath in,
turn your toes down,

00:35:57.066 --> 00:35:59.500
lift from your right inner
thigh, maybe a little higher,

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:02.266
then exhale, knee to
nose, cultivate strength,

00:36:02.266 --> 00:36:04.066
press away from your yoga mat,

00:36:04.066 --> 00:36:06.233
and then step it all the way up.

00:36:06.233 --> 00:36:08.700
Lower the back knee
just like we did before,

00:36:08.700 --> 00:36:11.033
and this time, we're gonna
sweep the fingertips forward,

00:36:11.033 --> 00:36:13.834
up and back,
palms pressing together.

00:36:13.834 --> 00:36:15.367
Imagine you're
holding a big beach ball here,

00:36:15.367 --> 00:36:19.533
so there's energy there,
and I was an only child,

00:36:19.533 --> 00:36:21.734
but I like to give
myself that image, really helps,

00:36:21.734 --> 00:36:23.500
of holding something.

00:36:24.633 --> 00:36:28.000
And screw it, today, we
should just hold the world

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:29.834
in our hands.

00:36:29.834 --> 00:36:32.166
Is that bold?
We should be bold.

00:36:35.600 --> 00:36:39.500
So there's some meaning
there, we're connecting.

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:41.233
Not just the body intelligence,

00:36:41.233 --> 00:36:44.867
but the emotional intelligence.

00:36:44.867 --> 00:36:47.767
Inhale, exhale, slowly release.

00:36:47.767 --> 00:36:50.266
Now check it out,
listen carefully,

00:36:50.266 --> 00:36:52.367
I'm gonna curl
the back toes under,

00:36:52.367 --> 00:36:53.667
and I'm gonna
straighten both legs,

00:36:53.667 --> 00:36:56.767
so I'm lifting up, coming into
a little pyramid variation,

00:36:56.767 --> 00:36:58.934
but with the left heel up.

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.567
So pull the
right hip crease back,

00:37:02.567 --> 00:37:06.066
breathe here,

00:37:06.066 --> 00:37:08.633
and then we're
gonna challenge ourselves here,

00:37:08.633 --> 00:37:10.433
we're gonna
pivot on the back foot

00:37:10.433 --> 00:37:12.333
as we bend the front knee,
so bend the front knee,

00:37:12.333 --> 00:37:17.033
pivot on the back foot,
and then here you go.

00:37:17.033 --> 00:37:19.133
Take your time,
from the ground up, press,

00:37:19.133 --> 00:37:20.600
feel that
connection to the earth

00:37:20.600 --> 00:37:23.934
as you open up, Warrior Two.

00:37:23.934 --> 00:37:28.300
And then think about what this
art type is, guys, warrior.

00:37:32.867 --> 00:37:35.033
Manduka friends
watching, I love this line

00:37:35.033 --> 00:37:37.667
in the middle of the mat,
actually, it's so good.

00:37:37.667 --> 00:37:38.567
So helpful.

00:37:41.066 --> 00:37:42.867
I'm a good friend,
okay, just kidding.

00:37:42.867 --> 00:37:45.967
Here we go, inhale,
stand up a little taller,

00:37:45.967 --> 00:37:48.734
maybe sink a little deeper.

00:37:48.734 --> 00:37:50.367
And right fingertips,
reach forward, up and back,

00:37:50.367 --> 00:37:53.500
Peaceful Warrior, soften,
and then big move here,

00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:57.500
enjoy it, inhale in, exhale,
cartwheel all the way back,

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:58.667
have some fun.

00:37:59.633 --> 00:38:02.233
Plant the palms, step it
straight into Downward Dog

00:38:02.233 --> 00:38:05.467
or take a little
Saturday morning flow.

00:38:07.133 --> 00:38:09.033
So it's really about
you listening to your body,

00:38:09.033 --> 00:38:10.700
not about doing the yoga.

00:38:10.700 --> 00:38:12.767
So I love it when people
just go straight to Down Dog,

00:38:12.767 --> 00:38:16.700
or they do a little
dance, or they flip.

00:38:16.700 --> 00:38:20.200
Be mindful,
be mindful, be mindful.

00:38:20.200 --> 00:38:22.500
Right heel comes
down in Down Dog,

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:25.633
and inhale, we lift
the left leg up high.

00:38:25.633 --> 00:38:28.800
Take a second here to
press into both palms evenly,

00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.633
welcome that heat,
a little fire in the belly,

00:38:34.033 --> 00:38:37.700
and then lift, maybe left
inner thigh up a little more,

00:38:37.700 --> 00:38:42.166
lift, lift, lift, and
then exhale, knee to nose!

00:38:42.166 --> 00:38:44.734
Toward nose, I should
say, and then step it up,

00:38:44.734 --> 00:38:46.934
lower the back knee.
Take your time,

00:38:46.934 --> 00:38:49.967
no need to rush or
jerk yourself around here.

00:38:49.967 --> 00:38:53.767
When you feel good,
sweep the arms on an inhale,

00:38:53.767 --> 00:38:55.533
forward, up and back.

00:38:57.433 --> 00:39:00.500
And then I won't
talk here on this one,

00:39:00.500 --> 00:39:01.934
just feel it out,
see if you can create

00:39:01.934 --> 00:39:03.600
an image for
yourself that feels good,

00:39:03.600 --> 00:39:06.166
that feels plugged in,
that feels connected.

00:39:06.166 --> 00:39:07.333
Squeezing our
thighs in the midline

00:39:07.333 --> 00:39:09.567
for stability, for support.

00:39:22.166 --> 00:39:25.266
Listen to the
sound of your breath,

00:39:25.266 --> 00:39:28.400
and let your spirit,
your breath guide you, inhale.

00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:32.266
Exhale, all the way
down, fold back down.

00:39:32.266 --> 00:39:35.533
From here,
lifting from your center,

00:39:35.533 --> 00:39:37.633
so the pelvic floor in your
center of gravity lifts you up

00:39:37.633 --> 00:39:40.600
and that's why
the legs straighten.

00:39:40.600 --> 00:39:43.867
Pyramid variation here,
pull the left hip crease back,

00:39:43.867 --> 00:39:47.133
and then keep that
right heel up today.

00:39:52.300 --> 00:39:53.867
You're doing
awesome, stick with it,

00:39:53.867 --> 00:39:56.000
front knee bends,
front knee over ankle,

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:57.934
pivot on the back foot.

00:39:58.867 --> 00:40:02.233
Warrior Two,
open it up, take your time.

00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:08.667
So you bring the thoughtfulness,

00:40:08.667 --> 00:40:11.266
the artfulness, the connection.

00:40:17.433 --> 00:40:21.533
You have a choice
how you choose to move

00:40:21.533 --> 00:40:23.667
through the practice,
and then that translates

00:40:23.667 --> 00:40:25.500
right off the mat.

00:40:25.500 --> 00:40:28.533
You are willing

00:40:28.533 --> 00:40:33.967
to move with
consciousness off the mat

00:40:33.967 --> 00:40:36.166
through the world.
Here we go, let's flip it,

00:40:36.166 --> 00:40:38.333
Peaceful Warrior, keep
that bend in the front knee,

00:40:38.333 --> 00:40:40.867
inhale, sweep the
left arm up and overhead,

00:40:40.867 --> 00:40:42.867
big stretch here,
and a big move,

00:40:42.867 --> 00:40:45.166
as you cartwheel down,
take your time.

00:40:45.166 --> 00:40:47.233
Smile, life is good.

00:40:47.233 --> 00:40:50.066
Alright, plant the palms,
step it back.

00:40:50.066 --> 00:40:53.200
Stay here, plank pose,
you can lower the knees

00:40:53.200 --> 00:40:54.600
if you want here.

00:40:56.367 --> 00:41:00.567
We're here for
five, four,

00:41:00.567 --> 00:41:02.767
three, two,

00:41:02.767 --> 00:41:06.333
slow descent of the
knees, with control,

00:41:07.433 --> 00:41:10.400
then bring your feet
together, big toes together,

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.333
your toes together, and
then walk the knees out wide.

00:41:15.333 --> 00:41:18.100
Inhale, open the chest,

00:41:18.100 --> 00:41:22.400
exhale, send it back,

00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.000
Extended Child's Pose,
take a total surrender

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:27.433
so you can stop
looking at the video,

00:41:27.433 --> 00:41:31.900
and you can close your
eyes and bring the forehead

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:33.400
towards the earth.

00:41:36.734 --> 00:41:41.233
Now take a moment here to

00:41:41.233 --> 00:41:44.166
consider what it feels like

00:41:44.166 --> 00:41:49.000
to be a part of
something great,

00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.233
big, human.

00:41:56.967 --> 00:41:59.333
It can also be very dirty.

00:41:59.333 --> 00:42:00.166
But...

00:42:04.433 --> 00:42:07.133
Then take a moment now to

00:42:09.300 --> 00:42:11.800
appreciate your body,

00:42:13.667 --> 00:42:17.700
which can be very
difficult sometimes,

00:42:17.700 --> 00:42:19.767
when we don't understand

00:42:22.300 --> 00:42:24.300
messages in the body,

00:42:24.300 --> 00:42:26.900
different states of the body.

00:42:29.633 --> 00:42:32.600
But as we're all
gathered here today

00:42:32.600 --> 00:42:35.467
with this collective,
focused energy,

00:42:35.467 --> 00:42:39.066
let's take a second to really
just appreciate our bodies,

00:42:39.066 --> 00:42:41.100
its breath, give thanks.

00:42:47.467 --> 00:42:49.300
Alright, and then
the last breath here

00:42:49.300 --> 00:42:52.266
in this beautiful shape,
I love this shape,

00:42:52.266 --> 00:42:54.333
if you think about this
shape all over the world,

00:42:54.333 --> 00:42:57.166
it's such a
gorgeous pose, Pranam,

00:42:58.133 --> 00:43:01.100
bowing to the big picture.

00:43:01.100 --> 00:43:03.700
Just take a moment to surrender

00:43:03.700 --> 00:43:06.433
to that which
you cannot control.

00:43:07.934 --> 00:43:12.200
Notice if you can
soften any more in your body,

00:43:12.200 --> 00:43:16.000
in the shoulder,
the hips, the jaw.

00:43:19.734 --> 00:43:21.834
Sweet, and then
press into your fingertips,

00:43:21.834 --> 00:43:23.567
press into your feet.

00:43:24.967 --> 00:43:29.033
Gather up some love
from the Earth, here we go.

00:43:29.033 --> 00:43:31.734
And we'll press up to all fours.

00:43:32.934 --> 00:43:34.300
Howdy?

00:43:34.300 --> 00:43:37.300
Walk the hands in a bit,
walk the knees in a bit,

00:43:37.300 --> 00:43:41.800
and then swing your legs
dosey-doe all the way around,

00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:44.133
and come to a seat.

00:43:44.133 --> 00:43:47.233
Alright, so,
which way should I turn?

00:43:48.767 --> 00:43:50.266
No editing!

00:43:50.266 --> 00:43:51.834
So send your legs
out just for a second

00:43:51.834 --> 00:43:53.533
so you can feel your

00:43:56.233 --> 00:43:57.800
sit bones, your bum connect,

00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:00.834
and point and flex
feet if it feels good.

00:44:00.834 --> 00:44:02.734
Now you're just gonna
swing the fingertips back,

00:44:02.734 --> 00:44:05.133
and we're just gonna end with
a little release here, so,

00:44:05.133 --> 00:44:07.000
so maybe you bend the
knees, or I'm gonna send

00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:08.867
my hips forward so
I can stay on my mat,

00:44:08.867 --> 00:44:11.500
and doesn't matter which
leg, just put one foot down

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:13.000
and then cross one foot over.

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.834
And if you're like,
"Whoa girl, I can't do that,"

00:44:15.834 --> 00:44:18.233
then you're just gonna
come on your back and do it.

00:44:20.867 --> 00:44:23.600
So you're here, or you're here.

00:44:26.033 --> 00:44:28.967
It's a little Pigeon variation,
just a little hip release,

00:44:28.967 --> 00:44:33.467
lift your heart, and then
you bring the breath, okay?

00:44:33.467 --> 00:44:35.767
Really start to loosen your
breath like a crazy person.

00:44:35.767 --> 00:44:37.767
Listen to your spirit.

00:44:37.767 --> 00:44:39.166
If you're down
with Ujjayi breath,

00:44:39.166 --> 00:44:41.133
maybe you tap
into that here today.

00:44:41.133 --> 00:44:44.000
So obviously, this
is a unique practice.

00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.467
It's really not
about the yoga at all,

00:44:45.467 --> 00:44:48.467
the yoga asana, it's
about us coming together

00:44:48.467 --> 00:44:52.033
and plugging in, and
creating an experience

00:44:53.033 --> 00:44:57.166
so that we can feel alive
and supported,

00:44:58.266 --> 00:44:59.633
and inspired.

00:44:59.633 --> 00:45:03.934
Release that leg, switch,
take it to the other side.

00:45:11.600 --> 00:45:14.500
Shoutout to all the
leg babies out there,

00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:16.233
you know who you are.

00:45:17.367 --> 00:45:18.567
If you wanna find
out about leg baby,

00:45:18.567 --> 00:45:22.867
it's the best hip opener
in all of the yoga asanas,

00:45:22.867 --> 00:45:24.066
and I say that
with all due respect

00:45:24.066 --> 00:45:28.266
to all the great teachers,
and all my great teachers.

00:45:30.166 --> 00:45:31.600
Alright, inhale, make
sure you're not collapsing

00:45:31.600 --> 00:45:32.667
in the shoulders
or your heart here,

00:45:32.667 --> 00:45:35.700
but lift your heart, my friend.

00:45:35.700 --> 00:45:37.767
⍠Aah

00:45:37.767 --> 00:45:38.767
And release.

00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:44.467
Cross the ankles, come
back to a comfortable seat.

00:45:48.433 --> 00:45:52.600
This time, hands are gonna
open, palms open to the sky.

00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.900
And just take a second to
maybe bow your head a little,

00:45:57.900 --> 00:45:59.500
or close your eyes.

00:46:01.633 --> 00:46:04.967
And notice,
if you're still holding,

00:46:04.967 --> 00:46:09.066
anywhere in your body,
notice if you can sense

00:46:09.066 --> 00:46:13.867
any congestion, and that
could be from sore muscles,

00:46:13.867 --> 00:46:17.967
or tension, but I just
wanna say, it could also be

00:46:17.967 --> 00:46:21.667
from not the physical body,

00:46:21.667 --> 00:46:23.266
but the emotional body,

00:46:23.266 --> 00:46:26.834
or the emotional intelligence.

00:46:26.834 --> 00:46:29.066
So we don't have a whole
lot of time left here today,

00:46:29.066 --> 00:46:30.600
so just close your eyes,
or bow your head,

00:46:30.600 --> 00:46:31.867
and just notice
where you feel it,

00:46:31.867 --> 00:46:35.834
maybe you feel it from the
practice, a little trembling,

00:46:35.834 --> 00:46:40.266
in a body part, or again,
maybe it's a sensation

00:46:40.266 --> 00:46:43.633
in the chest,
the neck, the shoulders.

00:46:49.500 --> 00:46:51.767
Then take a deep breath in.

00:46:53.600 --> 00:46:57.867
And exhale, relax your
shoulders, open your eyes.

00:46:58.834 --> 00:47:01.433
And then we're
gonna open the palms,

00:47:01.433 --> 00:47:04.633
and really feel energy
in the fingertips here,

00:47:04.633 --> 00:47:07.133
almost as if you were holding

00:47:08.367 --> 00:47:09.867
a piece of fruit

00:47:09.867 --> 00:47:11.266
of your choice.

00:47:11.266 --> 00:47:14.567
Tell us what fruit you held
after this practice, okay.

00:47:14.567 --> 00:47:16.934
And then take your fruit, so
there's just some energy here,

00:47:16.934 --> 00:47:19.433
you can see it in my arms and
muscles, my arms are engaged,

00:47:19.433 --> 00:47:22.567
and you're just gonna
bring it all the way up,

00:47:22.567 --> 00:47:25.567
and then you're gonna bring
it all the way up to the sky,

00:47:25.567 --> 00:47:26.867
and we're reaching,
reaching, reaching,

00:47:26.867 --> 00:47:28.667
and we're gonna a
big, giant namaste,

00:47:28.667 --> 00:47:30.567
so what you did
is you're just gonna,

00:47:30.567 --> 00:47:32.400
I'm gonna say I'm
holding two coconuts,

00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:34.700
and then I'm gonna
crash the coconuts together.

00:47:34.700 --> 00:47:38.567
So Jai namaste,
the victory namaste,

00:47:38.567 --> 00:47:41.266
the celebratory namaste.
You're gonna inhale,

00:47:41.266 --> 00:47:42.667
and then exhale,
don't think, just do it,

00:47:42.667 --> 00:47:46.133
clap the palms
together up and over the head.

00:47:46.133 --> 00:47:48.100
Jai, and then
keep the palms together

00:47:48.100 --> 00:47:49.333
as you bring them
down to the heart,

00:47:49.333 --> 00:47:51.433
I know I'm
getting weird today, but,

00:47:51.433 --> 00:47:54.233
may only do one
livestream in my whole life,

00:47:54.233 --> 00:47:56.233
so let's just go for it.

00:47:57.266 --> 00:48:01.200
And then settle in to
this yummy place of home.

00:48:16.266 --> 00:48:17.100
Gorgeous.

00:48:18.533 --> 00:48:21.133
Move slowly, thoughtfully,
we'll bring the left hand

00:48:21.133 --> 00:48:23.000
to the heart, and
today, very special,

00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:25.934
gonna bring the right
hand just up here, open,

00:48:25.934 --> 00:48:29.433
and it's extending
out into the world

00:48:29.433 --> 00:48:32.433
and to everyone
who's watching this.

00:48:34.066 --> 00:48:36.900
Thank you so much for sharing
your time and your energy

00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:41.233
with me and all the
beautiful, wonderful,

00:48:41.233 --> 00:48:44.900
and hopefully diverse humans

00:48:44.900 --> 00:48:47.967
that have gathered here today

00:48:47.967 --> 00:48:52.133
to practice, to connect,
and to find what feels good,

00:48:52.133 --> 00:48:57.133
but also, to support a really
hardworking group of people

00:48:57.133 --> 00:49:01.300
who are making it their life's
mission to serve others.

00:49:02.500 --> 00:49:04.834
I feel like if we all
did a little more of that,

00:49:04.834 --> 00:49:07.166
the world would
be a better place.

00:49:07.166 --> 00:49:09.633
And thankfully, we
have the tools of yoga

00:49:09.633 --> 00:49:14.767
to equip us with exactly what
we need to

00:49:14.767 --> 00:49:18.367
make that happen.

00:49:18.367 --> 00:49:20.300
To contribute back to humanity.

00:49:20.300 --> 00:49:22.867
Take a deep breath in,

00:49:22.867 --> 00:49:26.000
long breath out,

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.734
deep breath in, long breath out,

00:49:28.734 --> 00:49:31.667
bring your right
hand on top of your left.

00:49:31.667 --> 00:49:34.633
This is where we end
our physical practice today.

00:49:34.633 --> 00:49:37.667
Hands on the heart, the
heart lifted,

00:49:37.667 --> 00:49:40.033
third eye open,

00:49:40.033 --> 00:49:42.700
maybe a little
smile on your face,

00:49:42.700 --> 00:49:47.066
and a willingness
to keep showing up.

00:49:47.066 --> 00:49:48.967
I will if you will.

00:49:48.967 --> 00:49:51.300
Will you?

00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:56.066
From my heart to yours,
take a deep breath in,

00:49:56.066 --> 00:49:58.400
and on the exhale, we bow.

00:50:01.467 --> 00:50:02.767
Namaste.

00:50:11.867 --> 00:50:12.834
Great work, everyone!

00:50:12.834 --> 00:50:14.467
That was so great.
So stick around,

00:50:14.467 --> 00:50:16.467
we're gonna just
take a couple moments here

00:50:16.467 --> 00:50:20.367
to slither out of
our practice together.

00:50:20.367 --> 00:50:22.166
Just a little taste,
we have tons of videos

00:50:22.166 --> 00:50:23.266
on the Yoga With
With Adriene channel

00:50:23.266 --> 00:50:27.934
for people of all interests.

00:50:27.934 --> 00:50:30.233
I don't wanna say all levels,
because that's so dumb.

00:50:30.233 --> 00:50:32.400
I don't think
there's a level of yoga,

00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:36.166
but all moods,
all bodies, all types.

00:50:36.166 --> 00:50:38.233
I always take requests,
and the community

00:50:38.233 --> 00:50:41.567
is the heart and soul
of this whole project now.

00:50:41.567 --> 00:50:44.066
So thank you so much
for those of you who've been

00:50:44.066 --> 00:50:46.400
along for the ride,
you are definitely

00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:48.200
the heartbeat of
this whole exchange,

00:50:48.200 --> 00:50:50.934
and help Chris and
I to provide for yoga

00:50:50.934 --> 00:50:52.400
to as many people as possible.

00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:54.233
Benji, where are you?

00:50:54.233 --> 00:50:55.066
(whistles)

00:50:55.066 --> 00:50:56.300
Alright, so I'm
gonna get my computer now,

00:50:56.300 --> 00:50:59.133
this is very weird and
obviously nontraditional,

00:50:59.133 --> 00:51:00.500
but there's nothing
traditional about this,

00:51:00.500 --> 00:51:03.367
so I'm gonna grab my computer.

00:51:03.367 --> 00:51:04.333
Come on, buddy!

00:51:04.333 --> 00:51:06.100
Come here, buddy, buddy!

00:51:06.100 --> 00:51:07.633
Benji, don't be shy!

00:51:07.633 --> 00:51:09.266
Come here, bud!

00:51:09.266 --> 00:51:10.433
Hi, come here!

00:51:11.567 --> 00:51:12.500
Come on!

00:51:12.500 --> 00:51:16.934
Oh, look at this yogi!

00:51:16.934 --> 00:51:18.100
Hey!

00:51:18.100 --> 00:51:19.133
We're doing a livestream,

00:51:19.133 --> 00:51:22.967
alright, let's see,
let's click on this,

00:51:22.967 --> 00:51:26.967
and we'll use our yoga block.

00:51:26.967 --> 00:51:32.066
If you're a yogi, then you
know this office very well,

00:51:32.066 --> 00:51:34.400
the yoga block office.

00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:38.266
Whoa, this is weird.
This is weird.

00:51:38.266 --> 00:51:40.200
Alright!

00:51:40.200 --> 00:51:43.567
Thank you so much,
Benji, get back over here,

00:51:43.567 --> 00:51:46.266
I love the feeling of
us all being connected,

00:51:46.266 --> 00:51:49.000
and again, as I said at the
beginning of this practice,

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.300
really truly couldn't
imagine that we would ever

00:51:51.300 --> 00:51:54.133
be doing anything like
this, and I was really nervous

00:51:54.133 --> 00:51:57.333
and not living my
fullest self for a long time,

00:51:57.333 --> 00:51:59.400
because I was
trying to protect yoga,

00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:02.567
and then, through the
support of the community

00:52:02.567 --> 00:52:05.233
and through my friends and
through this team, actually,

00:52:05.233 --> 00:52:07.367
I'm able to now
go, you know what?

00:52:07.367 --> 00:52:11.533
Right? We talk about that
quote all the time, like,

00:52:11.533 --> 00:52:14.967
who are you not to be yourself,

00:52:14.967 --> 00:52:18.533
and you don't serve
anyone by being small, and so,

00:52:18.533 --> 00:52:19.367
cool hair, Adriene.

00:52:19.367 --> 00:52:20.300
Okay, Benji, come here!

00:52:20.300 --> 00:52:24.233
Come here, buddy.
Benji.

00:52:24.233 --> 00:52:25.467
He's shy with the things.

00:52:25.467 --> 00:52:30.300
Okay, so, we were going
to do a little shareback,

00:52:30.300 --> 00:52:32.633
and we only have
about five minutes,

00:52:32.633 --> 00:52:35.133
but really, you have a big,
beautiful day ahead of you,

00:52:35.133 --> 00:52:37.333
you're gonna take your yoga
off the mat and into the world.

00:52:37.333 --> 00:52:40.734
So I'm gonna take five minutes
to talk a little bit about

00:52:40.734 --> 00:52:42.700
Project OM in
particular, I'd love to hear

00:52:42.700 --> 00:52:44.734
anyone's shareback
on the practice today,

00:52:44.734 --> 00:52:48.367
or your experience
in yoga, particularly

00:52:48.367 --> 00:52:50.333
with the home practice.

00:52:50.333 --> 00:52:53.200
I wanna start off this
shareback and this little Q&A

00:52:53.200 --> 00:52:57.767
by personally
inviting you to please consider

00:52:57.767 --> 00:53:01.233
giving a donation, (chuckles)
getting emotional again,

00:53:01.233 --> 00:53:04.367
to the
Susan B. Komen Foundation,

00:53:04.367 --> 00:53:05.900
and we've made it
really easy for you,

00:53:05.900 --> 00:53:09.133
there's a link in the
video description down below,

00:53:09.133 --> 00:53:12.100
and there'll be a
link at the end as well,

00:53:12.100 --> 00:53:14.133
and I personally run
through the whole thing myself

00:53:14.133 --> 00:53:17.100
to make sure that
it was really simple,

00:53:17.100 --> 00:53:19.734
there's a $10 dollar minimum,
you don't have to, of course,

00:53:19.734 --> 00:53:22.300
this is a free practice,
this is a free yoga channel!

00:53:22.300 --> 00:53:23.600
Forever!

00:53:23.600 --> 00:53:26.300
But I would like to
personally invite you to donate

00:53:26.300 --> 00:53:27.800
to Susan B. Komen.

00:53:30.467 --> 00:53:32.533
This is not about me,
but I will say that

00:53:32.533 --> 00:53:35.233
I always take the
time to do my homework,

00:53:35.233 --> 00:53:38.266
and to really make
sure that I'm present

00:53:38.266 --> 00:53:41.233
in the
conversation that I'm sharing,

00:53:41.233 --> 00:53:44.300
and my conversation
with Susan B. Komen,

00:53:44.300 --> 00:53:46.467
through Manduka Yoga
and directly with them

00:53:46.467 --> 00:53:49.000
has been nothing
short of beautiful,

00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.333
the people who are working
in Susan B. Komen right now

00:53:51.333 --> 00:53:56.133
are taking what they've learned,

00:53:57.066 --> 00:54:00.800
and wanting to
evolve, and do more,

00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.633
and I think that's a great
lesson for all of us to kind of,

00:54:04.633 --> 00:54:07.800
not pass judgment, or not get
caught up in the silly things,

00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:09.767
but to go, where
can I contribute,

00:54:09.767 --> 00:54:12.100
what am I contributing,

00:54:12.100 --> 00:54:16.667
and, you know, really,

00:54:16.667 --> 00:54:21.333
serve those who are
making it their life mission

00:54:21.333 --> 00:54:22.633
to save lives.

00:54:22.633 --> 00:54:24.834
I mean, I don't
know how else to say it.

00:54:24.834 --> 00:54:27.967
I'm gonna be sharing
a lot more through text,

00:54:27.967 --> 00:54:31.967
so I won't kind of get into
all that now, just for time,

00:54:31.967 --> 00:54:33.800
but, I wanna make
sure that I start off

00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:35.667
by personally inviting
you to make a donation,

00:54:35.667 --> 00:54:37.767
if you're willing, again, it's
free yoga, you don't have to,

00:54:37.767 --> 00:54:40.300
but that is the
reason why we decided

00:54:40.300 --> 00:54:45.266
to mark our first
livestream with Project OM.

00:54:45.266 --> 00:54:48.400
Is we felt that that's really
what we want to do more of,

00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:50.967
is use the
power of the practice,

00:54:50.967 --> 00:54:53.867
and all this extra
energy and self-love

00:54:53.867 --> 00:54:55.900
that we're
getting again from yoga,

00:54:55.900 --> 00:54:58.066
and regular home
practice, in particular,

00:54:58.066 --> 00:55:02.867
regular daily practice, and
use that energy to do good.

00:55:02.867 --> 00:55:04.867
I mean, the mantra's
find what feels good,

00:55:04.867 --> 00:55:07.000
and for me, it's like,
yeah, we wanna look good,

00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.734
but it's about feeling good,

00:55:08.734 --> 00:55:10.200
and it's about
having enough energy

00:55:10.200 --> 00:55:12.166
to contribute back to humanity.

00:55:12.166 --> 00:55:15.467
So consider hopping over there
and giving them a donation,

00:55:15.467 --> 00:55:18.500
they're doing
wonderful work, and have

00:55:18.500 --> 00:55:23.400
a wonderful plan put
together for the future

00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:25.800
of Susan B. Komen
and the foundation,

00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:28.333
their goal is to
reduce the current number

00:55:28.333 --> 00:55:33.133
of breast cancer deaths
by 50% by the year 2026.

00:55:33.133 --> 00:55:36.700
And the thing is, they
really do need our help.

00:55:36.700 --> 00:55:39.734
So, get involved,
if you're interested,

00:55:39.734 --> 00:55:41.233
I'm gonna give you tons
of ways to get involved.

00:55:41.233 --> 00:55:44.567
I'm also gonna post, they
have a amazing hotline number.

00:55:44.567 --> 00:55:48.000
I'm gonna post that
as well, because I think

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:52.600
that for anyone who
might want some resources,

00:55:52.600 --> 00:55:56.834
either dealing with
someone close with the disease,

00:55:56.834 --> 00:55:58.834
or if you just
wanna get involved,

00:55:58.834 --> 00:56:03.333
and maybe take care of your
own boobies and go get a test,

00:56:03.333 --> 00:56:06.967
they have so many resources,
everything from counselors

00:56:06.967 --> 00:56:11.367
to testing, to volunteer
opportunities, I'll post that.

00:56:11.367 --> 00:56:14.400
Okay, so, we're a bit
running out of time here,

00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.767
but let's see if we
can get on the board.

00:56:17.767 --> 00:56:20.033
So this is also
my first livestream,

00:56:20.033 --> 00:56:22.500
so if anything
went wrong, I'm sorry,

00:56:22.500 --> 00:56:26.900
I'm just kidding,
thank you for being patient.

00:56:26.900 --> 00:56:29.700
We have an amazing
team here in the house.

00:56:29.700 --> 00:56:31.367
It's actually, I think,
all my theater training's

00:56:31.367 --> 00:56:35.533
coming into play here,
because it's like, pretend!

00:56:36.433 --> 00:56:39.000
You know, never mind, okay.

00:56:40.333 --> 00:56:44.233
So, namaste, oh it's so fun
to, ha-ha-, boobies, yeah,

00:56:44.233 --> 00:56:46.166
sneak that in.

00:56:46.166 --> 00:56:50.266
Okay, just kidding, I said
I would keep this PG.

00:56:50.266 --> 00:56:51.834
Just kidding,
actually I think, no,

00:56:51.834 --> 00:56:54.233
it's really surprising no one
on the team ever told me that,

00:56:54.233 --> 00:56:58.900
it's like, they just
respected me enough to trust me.

00:56:58.900 --> 00:57:00.300
Thank you, everyone.

00:57:00.300 --> 00:57:02.734
Okay, so, namaste,
I think it is really great,

00:57:02.734 --> 00:57:03.700
since we're running out of time,

00:57:03.700 --> 00:57:05.700
I think it would be really great

00:57:05.700 --> 00:57:08.500
if anybody wants to
share where they're from.

00:57:08.500 --> 00:57:10.567
Might seem a little cheesy,
but it's a really powerful way

00:57:10.567 --> 00:57:13.300
to just kind of put
your voice in the room,

00:57:13.300 --> 00:57:17.767
and to represent
where you come from.

00:57:17.767 --> 00:57:19.333
That's kinda sweet,

00:57:19.333 --> 00:57:23.500
so tell us where you're from,
tell us your experience.

00:57:24.100 --> 00:57:26.333
Obviously, I won't be
able to catch them all now,

00:57:26.333 --> 00:57:29.433
and I love that we have this
wonderful conversation going,

00:57:29.433 --> 00:57:31.266
but if you have any requests
for the Yoga With Adriene

00:57:31.266 --> 00:57:32.967
channel, we'd love to hear them,

00:57:32.967 --> 00:57:34.767
and I think it's a great way
to get everyone involved,

00:57:34.767 --> 00:57:38.400
and it's a nice,
healthy, mindful motivation.

00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:42.667
That's not all physical, yeah?

00:57:42.667 --> 00:57:46.367
So let us know where
you're from, send in requests.

00:57:46.367 --> 00:57:49.200
If you have any stories
or anything in particular

00:57:49.200 --> 00:57:53.500
relating to breast
cancer or Project OM,

00:57:53.500 --> 00:57:55.467
we'd love to
hear from you on that.

00:57:55.467 --> 00:57:57.400
And we also know
that Susan B. Komen

00:57:57.400 --> 00:57:59.500
is on the boards
here today, as is Manduka,

00:57:59.500 --> 00:58:02.600
so if you have questions
for them, they can answer.

00:58:02.600 --> 00:58:04.100
Benji, come in
here, you gotta get,

00:58:04.100 --> 00:58:07.433
he's being shy
because of all the stuff.

00:58:08.567 --> 00:58:10.734
Here, Benji, come
here, come here, buddy!

00:58:10.734 --> 00:58:12.166
Come here, bud, come here!

00:58:12.166 --> 00:58:13.233
Come here!

00:58:13.233 --> 00:58:15.867
Benji, come here, baby.

00:58:15.867 --> 00:58:16.867
Yes!

00:58:16.867 --> 00:58:17.967
You gonna do another?

00:58:17.967 --> 00:58:18.967
Come here.

00:58:18.967 --> 00:58:19.800
Oh yeah.

00:58:20.934 --> 00:58:23.033
This is Benji, one of
the things people always ask

00:58:23.033 --> 00:58:26.233
is what kind of dog is Benji,
and he is a blue heeler mix,

00:58:26.233 --> 00:58:28.834
so his mom and dad

00:58:28.834 --> 00:58:31.600
were both heeler mixes,

00:58:34.700 --> 00:58:35.700
and he likes

00:58:35.700 --> 00:58:39.567
Jeff, apparently,
more than me today.

00:58:39.567 --> 00:58:40.200
Fine!

00:58:40.200 --> 00:58:42.367
That's okay, you were seen.
We'll do more with you.

00:58:42.367 --> 00:58:46.633
Actually, he's in a lot
of the videos coming up,

00:58:46.633 --> 00:58:47.800
actually, he'll
come in for the intro,

00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:48.834
and then will
leave for the yoga,

00:58:48.834 --> 00:58:51.066
and then he'll come for
the outro, like, he knows,

00:58:51.066 --> 00:58:53.800
it's very, very interesting.

00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:56.633
Okay, so fun to see
where everyone is from.

00:58:56.633 --> 00:58:58.200
We only have
about two more minutes,

00:58:58.200 --> 00:59:02.400
so it's great to
hear where you're from,

00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:05.567
and it's great to
just have you present

00:59:05.567 --> 00:59:07.333
in this conversation.

00:59:10.567 --> 00:59:12.967
Oh, this is sweet.

00:59:12.967 --> 00:59:15.900
You can also
post in remembrance,

00:59:15.900 --> 00:59:17.633
if you'd like to
tribute to someone

00:59:17.633 --> 00:59:19.633
that's practiced
in this conservation,

00:59:19.633 --> 00:59:22.767
since we do have all
this great focused energy.

00:59:22.767 --> 00:59:25.100
I'm seeing a lot of, getting
a little emotional again,

00:59:25.100 --> 00:59:25.934
dang it.

00:59:28.834 --> 00:59:31.066
Seeing a lot of people

00:59:31.066 --> 00:59:34.133
post in remembrance of people,

00:59:34.133 --> 00:59:38.333
and I think that
yeah, go for it, my friend.

00:59:38.333 --> 00:59:42.033
This is about the energy,
the prana, that is yoga,

00:59:42.033 --> 00:59:45.133
moving the energy of the body
so that you can control it

00:59:45.133 --> 00:59:46.533
so that it doesn't control you,

00:59:46.533 --> 00:59:49.166
so that you can be the
best version of yourself,

00:59:49.166 --> 00:59:52.600
and you don't get swallowed
by this cray-cray world

00:59:52.600 --> 00:59:54.934
we live in, woo, my country.

00:59:57.633 --> 00:59:58.800
So great to hear everyone.

00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:01.233
I guess my idea of doing
a shareback in a community

01:00:01.233 --> 01:00:02.834
is a little bit silly
when we have so many people

01:00:02.834 --> 01:00:06.867
coming through, so
we'll get better at that, and,

01:00:09.533 --> 01:00:12.600
I think it's great to
just continue to encourage you

01:00:12.600 --> 01:00:14.867
to tell us where you're
from, share a little bit

01:00:14.867 --> 01:00:17.333
of yourself and
your heart with us,

01:00:17.333 --> 01:00:20.433
and if you have any
questions for me, or requests,

01:00:20.433 --> 01:00:22.900
post them here.
If you have any questions

01:00:22.900 --> 01:00:27.400
for Susan B. Komen or for
Manduka Yoga, post them here,

01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:30.767
and keep posting,
because if this goes really well

01:00:30.767 --> 01:00:33.900
and smoothly,
then we'll do more,

01:00:33.900 --> 01:00:35.734
we'll do more and more and more.

01:00:35.734 --> 01:00:38.567
So I'll stay on the computer,
we'll close off the cams,

01:00:38.567 --> 01:00:40.867
and, cams, who am I, I've
never said that in my life,

01:00:40.867 --> 01:00:44.300
cameras (chuckles),

01:00:44.300 --> 01:00:48.100
and I'll stay on the line,

01:00:48.100 --> 01:00:50.800
and keep chatting with
you, and answering questions

01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:54.333
and connecting, but

01:00:54.333 --> 01:00:56.867
thank you so
much for being here.

01:00:56.867 --> 01:00:59.734
Thank you for showing up,
thank you for being present,

01:00:59.734 --> 01:01:00.900
and again, for anyone who's new

01:01:00.900 --> 01:01:04.233
to the Yoga With Adriene
channel, we have a spot for you

01:01:04.233 --> 01:01:07.600
at the table, so
come on and eat with us.

01:01:09.300 --> 01:01:11.734
So please do join us,
and we have a lot

01:01:11.734 --> 01:01:13.567
of really interesting
and amazing,

01:01:13.567 --> 01:01:16.200
fun things in the works.

01:01:16.200 --> 01:01:18.767
Everything from touring to,
we have a membership site

01:01:18.767 --> 01:01:20.233
called Find What Feels
Good where we get to do

01:01:20.233 --> 01:01:23.166
a little more, we have amazing
collaborations coming up

01:01:23.166 --> 01:01:25.734
in the next few years,
I'm still home-based

01:01:25.734 --> 01:01:29.800
here in Austin, Texas, so
for all you Texans watching,

01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:32.000
especially you Austinites,
thank you for being here,

01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:35.767
all my friends and family for
supporting me as a person,

01:01:35.767 --> 01:01:38.967
as a girl, and
yeah, let's keep going.

01:01:38.967 --> 01:01:41.066
I'll see you next time, guys.

01:01:41.066 --> 01:01:42.867
Namaste.
