00:00:00.267 --> 00:00:02.571
- What's up, everyone?
Welcome to Yoga with Adriene.

00:00:02.571 --> 00:00:04.504
I'm Adriene and this is Benji

00:00:04.504 --> 00:00:07.474
and today we have rainbow yoga,

00:00:07.474 --> 00:00:10.143
the perfect practice 
to brighten your day,

00:00:10.143 --> 00:00:12.946
to help turn 
darkness into light.

00:00:12.946 --> 00:00:16.416
So hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:16.416 --> 00:00:19.753
(bright music)

00:00:28.729 --> 00:00:30.445
Okay, my darling friends,

00:00:30.445 --> 00:00:33.967
let's begin in a nice, 
comfortable seat of your choice.

00:00:33.967 --> 00:00:36.169
So you get to decide 
how you wanna sit today.

00:00:36.169 --> 00:00:39.640
You can start kneeling, 
you can start cross-legged,

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.343
you can start this first part
on the edge of your couch.

00:00:43.343 --> 00:00:45.178
So find what feels good

00:00:46.446 --> 00:00:49.416
and come into your seat,

00:00:51.718 --> 00:00:53.787
and when you're 
ready take a deep breath in

00:00:53.787 --> 00:00:55.489
and lift your 
shoulders all the way

00:00:55.489 --> 00:00:57.190
up to your ears here to start

00:00:57.190 --> 00:01:00.494
and as you exhale 
drop the shoulders down.

00:01:01.745 --> 00:01:03.030
Two more like that, inhale.

00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:05.659
Squeeze and lift, squeeze,
squeeze, squeeze, squeeze,

00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:08.635
and exhale, let's let go 
of any stress or tension.

00:01:09.725 --> 00:01:12.519
And one more time.
Big inhale, squeeze and lift.

00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.542
Really breathing into 
your full capacity here,

00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:17.744
holding your breath at the top,

00:01:17.744 --> 00:01:21.315
and then exhale to let go.

00:01:21.315 --> 00:01:25.519
So we're letting 
go of any bad juju,

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.274
any haterade,

00:01:27.274 --> 00:01:31.058
any energy that's
just not serving us, right?

00:01:31.058 --> 00:01:34.695
Whether it's just a small
tantrum or a little frustration.

00:01:34.695 --> 00:01:37.731
Maybe we were 
bored or exhausted.

00:01:37.731 --> 00:01:40.167
Whatever it is, 
I'm so glad you chose

00:01:40.167 --> 00:01:43.337
this bright, 
beautiful yoga practice.

00:01:43.337 --> 00:01:45.138
Let's find what feels good.

00:01:45.138 --> 00:01:47.240
You're gonna bring 
your left fingertips

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:51.078
down to your 
couch or to the earth,

00:01:51.078 --> 00:01:52.646
and you're gonna 
paint a big rainbow

00:01:52.646 --> 00:01:54.047
with the right 
fingertips all the way

00:01:54.047 --> 00:01:57.584
up and over as your create
length in your right side body.

00:01:58.618 --> 00:02:00.620
Now really, really reach.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:02.155
When you get to 
your max capacity,

00:02:02.155 --> 00:02:03.523
wiggle the right fingertips.

00:02:03.523 --> 00:02:05.859
Let your fingertips 
just kinda twinkle here,

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:07.694
and then slowly 
bring it all the way

00:02:07.694 --> 00:02:09.628
up and take it 
to the other side.

00:02:09.628 --> 00:02:12.332
Right fingertips down,
and from there,

00:02:12.332 --> 00:02:14.444
paint a big rainbow 
with your fingertips

00:02:14.444 --> 00:02:16.837
all the way up 
and over, feeling that

00:02:16.837 --> 00:02:19.039
awesome stretch in 
the left side body.

00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.675
Then when you get there,
reach a little further,

00:02:21.675 --> 00:02:25.512
twinkle the left fingertips.
Big stretch.

00:02:25.512 --> 00:02:29.182
Yes, and then come 
all the way back, awesome.

00:02:29.182 --> 00:02:30.283
From here, you're gonna move

00:02:30.283 --> 00:02:34.087
from whatever seat 
you chose to the ground,

00:02:35.088 --> 00:02:39.226
and then we're gonna bring the
left heel in, so one heel in,

00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:43.463
and then one heel behind,
so you're gonna

00:02:43.463 --> 00:02:44.664
create this shape in your body,

00:02:44.664 --> 00:02:45.999
and if you find 
that it's really hard

00:02:45.999 --> 00:02:48.402
to sit up nice and tall, 
know that you're not alone,

00:02:48.402 --> 00:02:50.170
but one helpful 
thing is to just lift

00:02:50.170 --> 00:02:52.139
the hips up on a 
little couch cushion

00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:53.940
or a rolled up towel or blanket.

00:02:55.609 --> 00:02:57.944
Alright, and you're gonna 
bring your right fingertips

00:02:57.944 --> 00:02:59.680
right in front of you 
and your left fingertips

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.681
to the outer 
edge of your left leg,

00:03:01.681 --> 00:03:03.250
and then very slowly we're gonna

00:03:03.250 --> 00:03:05.886
bring the right 
knee all the way up,

00:03:05.886 --> 00:03:08.522
and then bring it all the down.

00:03:08.522 --> 00:03:10.157
And then bring 
it all the way up,

00:03:11.591 --> 00:03:12.759
and then all way down.

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:14.494
And keep this action going.

00:03:14.494 --> 00:03:16.430
We're bringing a little space

00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:18.565
and movement into the right hip,

00:03:19.866 --> 00:03:21.835
creating a little 
half rainbow shape,

00:03:21.835 --> 00:03:23.537
or almost like 
a windshield wiper

00:03:23.537 --> 00:03:25.505
with the right knee,
back and forth.

00:03:28.975 --> 00:03:30.777
Excellent, and then next 
time your right knee's up,

00:03:30.777 --> 00:03:32.712
go ahead and keep it there.

00:03:32.712 --> 00:03:34.314
Your right foot may or not come

00:03:34.314 --> 00:03:36.616
all the way to the ground,

00:03:36.616 --> 00:03:37.484
and then from here, you're gonna

00:03:37.484 --> 00:03:40.754
bring your left hand to the
earth, and same little ditty,

00:03:40.754 --> 00:03:45.759
right fingertips reach forward,
up and over to the left.

00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:49.202
Great, and then slowly 
bring it all the way back in.

00:03:49.202 --> 00:03:51.064
And we'll switch 
to the other side.

00:03:51.064 --> 00:03:52.766
Right heel comes in.

00:03:52.766 --> 00:03:54.067
Left heel goes behind.

00:03:54.067 --> 00:03:57.337
You're just opposite leg
then the ones you did before.

00:03:57.337 --> 00:03:59.172
Just find your set up first.

00:04:00.307 --> 00:04:02.609
And then left 
fingertips go in front of you,

00:04:02.609 --> 00:04:04.010
right fingertips go behind you,

00:04:04.010 --> 00:04:05.512
just for a little stability,

00:04:05.512 --> 00:04:07.781
and then you can 
use your hands here

00:04:07.781 --> 00:04:10.650
to help guide the left knee up.

00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:13.776
Breathing the whole way long.

00:04:14.695 --> 00:04:16.655
Nice and slow

00:04:16.656 --> 00:04:18.692
and instead of just 
working to get your knee up,

00:04:18.692 --> 00:04:20.994
really pay attention to 
how this is all connected,

00:04:20.994 --> 00:04:22.850
the whole body is connected.

00:04:26.810 --> 00:04:28.235
So sometimes when we're tight

00:04:28.235 --> 00:04:30.537
in one area of the body,
it's helpful

00:04:30.537 --> 00:04:34.574
to move the whole body 
with breath to tend to it

00:04:34.574 --> 00:04:37.377
rather than just 
targeting that one spot.

00:04:40.747 --> 00:04:42.716
Alright, the next 
time your left knee's up,

00:04:42.716 --> 00:04:45.752
plant that left 
foot into the ground.

00:04:45.752 --> 00:04:48.488
Use your hands to sit up nice
and tall, breathe deep here.

00:04:50.724 --> 00:04:52.559
And then here we go, 
right hand comes to the earth,

00:04:52.559 --> 00:04:55.896
left fingertips 
reach all the way out,

00:04:55.896 --> 00:04:58.498
and up, and over, 
creating a big stretch

00:04:58.498 --> 00:05:01.601
on the left side body,
inhale in,

00:05:01.601 --> 00:05:04.104
and then exhale, 
bring it all the way back.

00:05:04.104 --> 00:05:06.673
Alright, bring the soles 
of the feet together here.

00:05:07.541 --> 00:05:10.143
We're gonna grab the ankles,
and nice and slow,

00:05:10.143 --> 00:05:12.579
bring the knees up and in,
feet come to the ground,

00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:14.347
and then bring 
the feet together,

00:05:14.347 --> 00:05:16.483
takes the knees down and out.

00:05:16.483 --> 00:05:19.286
Keep it going 
all the way up and in

00:05:19.286 --> 00:05:20.754
and all the way down and out.

00:05:21.888 --> 00:05:23.790
And no matter what age you are,

00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:26.927
you might take a 
second here to close your eyes

00:05:26.927 --> 00:05:32.366
and just think about a 
beautiful, colorful butterfly.

00:05:37.103 --> 00:05:40.657
Maybe if you are a kid,
or a kid at heart,

00:05:40.657 --> 00:05:42.309
you might take this moment here

00:05:42.309 --> 00:05:45.011
to ask what color 
butterfly would you be,

00:05:45.011 --> 00:05:46.213
if you were a butterfly?

00:05:47.547 --> 00:05:51.718
What color or what 
colors would you be

00:05:51.718 --> 00:05:52.919
if you were a butterfly?

00:05:56.056 --> 00:05:58.058
And then I dare you guys,
if you're adults,

00:05:58.058 --> 00:06:01.501
to tell us what color 
butterfly you would be

00:06:01.501 --> 00:06:04.497
in the comment section down
below after this practice.

00:06:05.599 --> 00:06:08.101
Okay, you're doing awesome.

00:06:08.101 --> 00:06:09.336
The next time the knees come up,

00:06:09.336 --> 00:06:11.504
go ahead and bring 
them in, in, in,

00:06:11.504 --> 00:06:15.542
and again, don't try to 
copycat my shape and my body,

00:06:15.542 --> 00:06:18.378
be true to your body,
so if you can't

00:06:18.378 --> 00:06:20.914
get here, make it your own,

00:06:20.914 --> 00:06:23.283
maybe creating a 
little more space.

00:06:25.785 --> 00:06:27.587
So that's one of 
the beautiful things

00:06:27.587 --> 00:06:30.090
about at-home yoga, 
is we come to remember

00:06:30.090 --> 00:06:31.925
and remind 
ourselves and each other

00:06:31.925 --> 00:06:36.162
that yoga's about 
getting to the true you,

00:06:36.162 --> 00:06:38.999
not copying or 
emulating somebody else's

00:06:38.999 --> 00:06:43.069
version of yoga or the 
shapes or the experience,

00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:44.004
it's totally yours.

00:06:44.004 --> 00:06:47.574
So as you gently bow 
your head to your heart,

00:06:48.408 --> 00:06:51.511
and start to wake up 
through the back body

00:06:51.511 --> 00:06:54.981
and get a great lovely big
stretch to the back of the neck,

00:06:55.982 --> 00:06:57.550
you can just meditate on that

00:06:57.550 --> 00:07:00.806
and send some love to

00:07:01.935 --> 00:07:04.136
all parts of yourself.

00:07:04.924 --> 00:07:07.526
Inhale lots of love it.

00:07:07.526 --> 00:07:10.563
Exhale lots of love out. Cool.

00:07:10.563 --> 00:07:13.033
Slowly lift the head, 
come back up.

00:07:13.033 --> 00:07:16.970
We're gonna grab the 
hamstrings, backs of the thighs,

00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:19.973
as you lift the toes up for a
little balancing posture here.

00:07:21.341 --> 00:07:23.043
Great, breathing deep.

00:07:23.043 --> 00:07:24.344
You might take 
the fingertips out

00:07:24.344 --> 00:07:26.146
if you want a 
little more challenge.

00:07:27.314 --> 00:07:31.284
Lifting the heart, 
waking up the core.

00:07:31.284 --> 00:07:33.520
Great, and if you want, 
you can straighten one leg.

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:35.221
Just see what happens if 
you straighten just one leg,

00:07:35.221 --> 00:07:36.556
don't think too hard,
breathe deep.

00:07:36.556 --> 00:07:39.426
And then bend that knee, and
then straighten the other leg.

00:07:39.426 --> 00:07:42.329
Just see what happens, keep
your heart lifted, open mind,

00:07:42.329 --> 00:07:44.397
and then bend, and then 
maybe let's see what happens

00:07:44.397 --> 00:07:47.167
if we send both 
toes up towards the sky.

00:07:47.167 --> 00:07:50.470
We're here for three, two, on
the one, cross your ankles,

00:07:50.470 --> 00:07:52.672
come all the way 
through to all fours.

00:07:54.307 --> 00:07:55.809
Excellent, from 
here you're gonna

00:07:55.809 --> 00:07:59.979
come to Tabletop Position,
shoulders over the wrists,

00:07:59.979 --> 00:08:01.892
hips over the knees.

00:08:03.717 --> 00:08:06.986
Cat Pose and Cow Pose 
moving together.

00:08:06.986 --> 00:08:09.255
Start with Cat, you're 
gonna draw the navel up,

00:08:09.255 --> 00:08:10.590
press away from your yoga mat

00:08:10.590 --> 00:08:12.892
and arch your body 
like a black Halloween cat.

00:08:14.227 --> 00:08:17.831
Create space in the back body,
claw through the fingertips.

00:08:17.831 --> 00:08:19.566
Now Cow Pose, drop the belly,

00:08:19.566 --> 00:08:22.535
open the chest, 
let your heart shine forward

00:08:22.535 --> 00:08:24.170
and lift the corners 
of your mouth slightly

00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:26.373
if you're wondering, "Why did I
pick this rainbow yoga video?"

00:08:26.373 --> 00:08:27.874
Just trust.

00:08:27.874 --> 00:08:29.376
Maybe this is a good one for you

00:08:29.376 --> 00:08:31.444
right now and you 
don't even know it.

00:08:31.444 --> 00:08:34.714
Rounding through 
the spine, Cat Pose.

00:08:34.714 --> 00:08:36.055
Spinal flexion.

00:08:37.683 --> 00:08:39.619
Dropping the belly,
staying connected

00:08:39.619 --> 00:08:42.789
to your foundation. Cow.

00:08:43.890 --> 00:08:47.927
One more time, Cat Pose,
rounding through, breathe out.

00:08:49.796 --> 00:08:54.434
And then dropping the belly,
opening the chest, breathe in.

00:08:56.469 --> 00:08:58.972
Yay, alright, from here,

00:08:58.972 --> 00:09:01.174
we're gonna walk 
the knees in just a bit.

00:09:01.174 --> 00:09:04.310
Kick the right foot out, and
then sweep the right foot

00:09:04.310 --> 00:09:06.813
all the way up 
into a nice low lunge.

00:09:06.813 --> 00:09:08.014
You can walk 
the knee back if you

00:09:08.014 --> 00:09:10.016
need a deeper stretch here.

00:09:10.016 --> 00:09:13.386
Find your breath again,
inhaling in,

00:09:13.386 --> 00:09:16.289
and using your exhale to really
relax your shoulders down.

00:09:17.357 --> 00:09:18.825
Alright, then 
take your left toes,

00:09:18.825 --> 00:09:20.226
and you're gonna 
bring them over round

00:09:20.226 --> 00:09:22.328
towards the 
right side of your mat,

00:09:22.328 --> 00:09:23.897
then you're gonna 
bring your right hand

00:09:23.897 --> 00:09:27.534
to the right inner 
arch of your right foot.

00:09:28.802 --> 00:09:30.070
Alright, here we go.

00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:32.405
You're gonna put a big 
paintbrush in your left hand

00:09:32.405 --> 00:09:34.174
and you're gonna 
take that paintbrush

00:09:34.174 --> 00:09:36.342
all the way towards 
the front edge of your mat.

00:09:36.342 --> 00:09:37.610
You can lift up 
on your right hand

00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:38.745
as you reach all the way up.

00:09:38.745 --> 00:09:40.346
You're painting a 
big rainbow all the way

00:09:40.346 --> 00:09:43.319
up and overhead, stay connected
through that front foot

00:09:43.319 --> 00:09:45.418
as you bring it all 
the way down to the ground.

00:09:46.886 --> 00:09:49.355
Fingertips or left 
palm to the ground here

00:09:49.355 --> 00:09:51.591
as we reach the 
right fingertips up,

00:09:51.591 --> 00:09:53.159
then you're gonna slowly,
take your time,

00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.162
straighten your right leg,
turn your right toes in,

00:09:56.162 --> 00:09:59.299
and find this 
Gate Pose variation.

00:10:03.169 --> 00:10:04.871
Alright, then we're gonna 
play a little guitar here,

00:10:04.871 --> 00:10:08.374
so you're gonna take 
your right fingertips forward,

00:10:08.374 --> 00:10:12.078
and then through, and 
then around, and then back,

00:10:12.078 --> 00:10:13.813
and then you're gonna 
keep this circular motion

00:10:13.813 --> 00:10:17.083
going in your 
right hand as you wake up

00:10:17.083 --> 00:10:19.712
through the shoulder, 
through the side body.

00:10:19.712 --> 00:10:23.423
Core is lit up here.
Foundation is strong.

00:10:23.423 --> 00:10:26.292
Now just find a softness 
and easiness in your face

00:10:26.292 --> 00:10:28.862
as you strum the guitar here.

00:10:28.862 --> 00:10:29.762
(strumming noise)

00:10:29.762 --> 00:10:31.798
Once more, awesome.

00:10:31.798 --> 00:10:33.533
And then we're 
gonna go all the way back

00:10:33.533 --> 00:10:35.502
the way we came in,
so you're gonna

00:10:35.502 --> 00:10:37.237
anchor through 
your center, your core,

00:10:37.237 --> 00:10:38.505
you're gonna 
come all the way up.

00:10:38.505 --> 00:10:41.608
Reverse with your paintbrush,
turn the right toes out,

00:10:41.608 --> 00:10:43.676
nice and slow, 
hold on to your balance,

00:10:43.676 --> 00:10:47.046
move slow and steady, 
and bring it all the way

00:10:47.046 --> 00:10:50.817
back to your nice, low lunge.

00:10:50.817 --> 00:10:52.285
Excellent, here you go.

00:10:52.285 --> 00:10:53.720
Lift your heart 
up towards the sky,

00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.956
sweep the fingertips forward
up and back, big stretch.

00:10:56.956 --> 00:10:59.759
And then exhale, 
bring it all the way down.

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.829
Plant the palms, bring your
right knee back to the earth,

00:11:02.829 --> 00:11:04.664
and we're gonna kick 
the left leg out long.

00:11:04.664 --> 00:11:06.483
Take a deep breath in.

00:11:06.483 --> 00:11:09.636
Exhale, sweep the left 
foot all the way up.

00:11:09.636 --> 00:11:11.337
Send your right 
knee back just a bit,

00:11:11.337 --> 00:11:14.908
find that nice, yummy stretch,
keep breathing.

00:11:16.142 --> 00:11:17.810
And then when you're ready,
sweep the right toes

00:11:17.810 --> 00:11:19.812
toward the left 
side of your mat.

00:11:19.812 --> 00:11:24.350
Bring your left hand now just
next to the left inner arch,

00:11:25.285 --> 00:11:26.653
and then you really 
wanna pull back

00:11:26.653 --> 00:11:29.222
with your left crease here,
breathing deep,

00:11:29.222 --> 00:11:32.725
before we take our paintbrush,
so strong foundation,

00:11:32.725 --> 00:11:33.826
front knee over front ankle,

00:11:33.826 --> 00:11:38.831
and reach it forward, 
up, around, and back.

00:11:39.599 --> 00:11:40.466
Excellent.

00:11:40.466 --> 00:11:42.101
When you feel like you've found

00:11:42.101 --> 00:11:44.671
the earth with your 
right fingertips or right palm,

00:11:44.671 --> 00:11:46.139
then you can 
hug the low ribs in,

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:47.774
start to straighten 
through your left leg,

00:11:47.774 --> 00:11:49.776
and turn those left toes in.

00:11:51.377 --> 00:11:54.214
Then left fingertips reach up,
we breathe deep

00:11:56.816 --> 00:12:00.553
using this shape, this 
opportunity to go inward.

00:12:03.056 --> 00:12:07.594
Self care, self love,
and then here we go,

00:12:07.594 --> 00:12:10.263
bringing the left 
fingertips down and around.

00:12:10.263 --> 00:12:13.499
You're gonna move 
in a circular motion here,

00:12:13.499 --> 00:12:16.669
really feeling the 
skin of the body stretch

00:12:16.669 --> 00:12:18.605
as you go through your dance.

00:12:22.542 --> 00:12:24.444
Try to keep your foundation,
that which

00:12:24.444 --> 00:12:26.646
is touching the 
earth nice and strong.

00:12:30.553 --> 00:12:32.169
Alright.

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.022
When you're ready,
let's reverse it,

00:12:36.022 --> 00:12:38.958
so here we go, 
really hug the low ribs in.

00:12:38.958 --> 00:12:41.294
Connect to your core, 
your center as you reverse it.

00:12:41.294 --> 00:12:42.362
You're gonna 
take your paintbrush

00:12:42.362 --> 00:12:43.630
all the way up and over,
you're gonna

00:12:43.630 --> 00:12:46.566
turn the left toes back towards
the front edge of your mat,

00:12:46.566 --> 00:12:49.398
right leg comes to follow as we

00:12:49.398 --> 00:12:52.505
come back to our nice low
lunge, framing the left foot.

00:12:53.339 --> 00:12:57.310
Here we go, big breath as you
sweep the fingertips forward,

00:12:57.310 --> 00:13:00.509
up and back, lift your 
heart up towards the sky

00:13:00.509 --> 00:13:02.515
and then exhale, melt it down.

00:13:03.583 --> 00:13:04.984
Plant the palms.

00:13:04.984 --> 00:13:07.053
Come back to all fours.

00:13:07.053 --> 00:13:08.855
You can just shake 
your tail a little bit here

00:13:08.855 --> 00:13:11.591
one way, and then the other.

00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:14.694
Awesome, now we're 
gonna walk the knees back,

00:13:14.694 --> 00:13:16.562
come on to the belly.

00:13:16.562 --> 00:13:18.765
Drag the hands in 
line with the ribcage,

00:13:18.765 --> 00:13:21.200
squeeze the elbows 
into the side body.

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:25.038
Tuck the chin into the chest,
and Cobra Pose, here we come.

00:13:25.038 --> 00:13:27.240
Inhale, lift the heart.

00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.643
Gaze forward.
Exhale, release.

00:13:30.643 --> 00:13:32.612
Awesome, let's do one more.

00:13:32.612 --> 00:13:37.750
Inhale, lift the heart.
Gaze forward.

00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:41.487
And exhale to release, awesome.

00:13:41.487 --> 00:13:45.692
Pressing back up to all fours,
walk the knees together.

00:13:45.692 --> 00:13:47.627
You're gonna paint,
just imagine,

00:13:47.627 --> 00:13:50.363
now each fingertip is a
paintbrush, a different color,

00:13:50.363 --> 00:13:53.499
and you're gonna paint 
two beautiful rainbow lines

00:13:53.499 --> 00:13:57.537
all the way down your mat,
flick it away,

00:13:57.537 --> 00:14:02.008
and then melt 
gently forward into

00:14:02.008 --> 00:14:04.177
Child's Pose, Balasana.

00:14:05.411 --> 00:14:08.214
This is our last 
yoga pose for today,

00:14:08.214 --> 00:14:11.384
so find what feels good here.

00:14:11.384 --> 00:14:13.986
If you need to modify 
or change this up

00:14:13.986 --> 00:14:17.990
to come into a relaxation
pose that feels okay for you,

00:14:17.990 --> 00:14:19.525
go ahead and do that now.

00:14:21.194 --> 00:14:25.198
And then I'll invite 
everyone to close their eyes,

00:14:25.198 --> 00:14:26.833
relax your shoulders,

00:14:29.435 --> 00:14:33.973
and give thanks for yourself, 
to yourself, rather,

00:14:33.973 --> 00:14:37.677
for showing up here today,
for keeping an open mind.

00:14:41.180 --> 00:14:43.316
And when we practice

00:14:45.618 --> 00:14:49.989
having and experiencing 
an open mind on the yoga mat,

00:14:53.092 --> 00:14:56.329
then we know what it feels like

00:14:57.563 --> 00:14:59.565
to maintain that or have that

00:14:59.565 --> 00:15:01.868
or create that 
experience off the yoga mat.

00:15:05.938 --> 00:15:07.607
So in other words, if we wish

00:15:07.607 --> 00:15:10.710
to stay open minded 
instead of close minded,

00:15:11.677 --> 00:15:16.682
yoga practice is 
(stammers) a great way

00:15:17.465 --> 00:15:18.883
to do that.

00:15:22.889 --> 00:15:24.323
Who would have thought?
I swear.

00:15:24.323 --> 00:15:27.994
Okay, here we go, slow 
and steady, come back up.

00:15:27.994 --> 00:15:29.762
Imagine you're a 
little seedling growing

00:15:29.762 --> 00:15:32.231
into a beautiful flower here,

00:15:32.231 --> 00:15:34.100
and you keep 
growing really tall,

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:36.369
and you're gonna end 
just the way we started,

00:15:36.369 --> 00:15:39.105
in a seated 
posture of your choice.

00:15:39.105 --> 00:15:41.207
So you can get creative here,

00:15:41.207 --> 00:15:45.111
you can add some style elements
to your seated posture,

00:15:45.945 --> 00:15:47.446
or you can go traditional.

00:15:50.183 --> 00:15:52.552
Wherever you are, 
sit up nice and tall now.

00:15:53.986 --> 00:15:55.588
Lift your heart.

00:15:55.588 --> 00:15:58.224
We'll close today's practice
by bringing the palms together

00:15:58.224 --> 00:16:01.527
and honoring the 
love and the light

00:16:01.527 --> 00:16:04.497
and just the 
awesomeness in ourselves

00:16:04.497 --> 00:16:07.633
while also 
celebrating and recognizing

00:16:07.633 --> 00:16:11.971
and seeing that in everyone
else, and everything else.

00:16:15.908 --> 00:16:17.944
When you're ready, 
take a deep breath in,

00:16:20.213 --> 00:16:23.382
and we'll seal 
today's rainbow yoga practice

00:16:23.382 --> 00:16:27.887
by bowing head to heart,
and shouting,

00:16:27.887 --> 00:16:30.623
saying, declaring, or whispering

00:16:31.958 --> 00:16:35.661
Namaste.

00:16:35.661 --> 00:16:37.163
Thanks everyone.

00:16:37.163 --> 00:16:38.631
Benji and I send you our love.

00:16:38.631 --> 00:16:39.832
Let us know how you're feeling

00:16:39.832 --> 00:16:41.934
in the comments 
section down below.

00:16:41.934 --> 00:16:42.768
Take care.

00:16:44.047 --> 00:16:47.383
(bright music)
