00:00:00.434 --> 00:00:02.602
- Hi everyone, 
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.602 --> 00:00:05.839
I'm Adriene and this 
is Benji and today we have

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:10.043
an awesome rebirth 
yoga practice for you.

00:00:10.043 --> 00:00:13.373
So hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:13.373 --> 00:00:16.126
(upbeat music)

00:00:25.826 --> 00:00:29.963
Okay my darling friends, 
let's begin today's practice

00:00:29.963 --> 00:00:31.632
in a cross-legged seat.

00:00:31.632 --> 00:00:33.934
Feel free to 
sit up on something,

00:00:33.934 --> 00:00:37.237
maybe a blanket or a 
block or a couple towels.

00:00:38.071 --> 00:00:41.575
To find length in the spine,
lift your heart right away

00:00:41.575 --> 00:00:43.677
and let's take a 
deep breath in here.

00:00:45.112 --> 00:00:47.414
As you exhale, 
relax your shoulders down.

00:00:47.414 --> 00:00:50.417
Just kind of come into your
seat, come into this moment.

00:00:51.451 --> 00:00:56.223
Whatever you're coming on
the mat with, it's all good.

00:00:56.223 --> 00:00:59.127
This session is

00:00:59.127 --> 00:01:04.080
just a gentle hand 
to help you renew.

00:01:05.933 --> 00:01:07.331
Feel good.

00:01:09.102 --> 00:01:12.539
Invite, things to 
cycle through, right?

00:01:12.539 --> 00:01:15.542
So the only constant is change,

00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:16.877
and we're constantly changing

00:01:16.877 --> 00:01:18.979
so that's why I love the 
mantra find what feels good

00:01:18.979 --> 00:01:20.981
because how we 
show up on the mat

00:01:20.981 --> 00:01:24.518
and really commit to 
discovery is everything.

00:01:24.518 --> 00:01:26.520
I find it so valuable.

00:01:27.821 --> 00:01:31.391
So just in case this 
is applicable for you,

00:01:31.391 --> 00:01:33.360
just allow things 
to cycle through here.

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:36.029
Allow this practice 
to help you do that,

00:01:36.029 --> 00:01:38.485
and if you're feeling great,

00:01:38.485 --> 00:01:41.201
let's just tend to 
the breath in the body,

00:01:41.201 --> 00:01:43.070
maybe a little 
preventative care.

00:01:44.404 --> 00:01:47.107
Together let's bring the 
palms together at the heart.

00:01:50.877 --> 00:01:53.347
And close your eyes.

00:01:53.347 --> 00:01:55.482
Notice how this mudra,

00:01:55.482 --> 00:01:58.218
this just palms 
together in prayer position

00:01:58.218 --> 00:02:01.154
makes you feel if anything and
if nothing, that's cool too.

00:02:03.423 --> 00:02:05.926
And then we'll take 
another deep breath in here.

00:02:07.327 --> 00:02:08.895
And once again use the exhale

00:02:08.895 --> 00:02:11.531
to actively relax 
the shoulders down.

00:02:14.668 --> 00:02:16.503
Then gently bow 
your head to your hands,

00:02:16.503 --> 00:02:18.705
start to get a nice, good
stretch in the back of the neck

00:02:18.705 --> 00:02:21.375
and maybe set a 
little intention.

00:02:23.510 --> 00:02:25.445
What do you choose 
for this next cycle

00:02:25.445 --> 00:02:26.279
whatever it may be?

00:02:26.279 --> 00:02:29.483
Whether it's just 
the day ahead or perhaps

00:02:29.483 --> 00:02:32.786
you're practicing 
this around a birthday

00:02:34.955 --> 00:02:37.357
or perhaps it's the end of a job

00:02:37.357 --> 00:02:40.694
or the end of a project 
or the end of a relationship,

00:02:40.694 --> 00:02:41.728
whatever it is.

00:02:43.330 --> 00:02:45.232
Maybe you set a little intention

00:02:46.733 --> 00:02:49.839
for what you 
choose moving ahead.

00:03:01.715 --> 00:03:04.718
Just notice what 
came up, if anything.

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.594
And here we go, 
another deep, full,

00:03:14.594 --> 00:03:16.797
conscious I love you breath in.

00:03:19.132 --> 00:03:21.935
And as you exhale,
slowly release,

00:03:21.935 --> 00:03:23.603
hands to the knees or thighs.

00:03:23.603 --> 00:03:26.506
You can lift the head 
back up over the heart.

00:03:26.506 --> 00:03:29.676
Take a second here to nod
the head a little yes and no.

00:03:29.676 --> 00:03:32.572
Just waking up the neck.

00:03:32.572 --> 00:03:34.948
You can draw circles 
with the nose one way

00:03:34.948 --> 00:03:36.550
and then the other.

00:03:38.318 --> 00:03:42.255
Maybe welcome 
a gentle smile, life is good.

00:03:42.255 --> 00:03:45.959
Things are cyclical 
and I feel like, yeah,

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:48.495
the yoga practice is 
such a wonderful place to land

00:03:48.495 --> 00:03:51.678
to just ground and be present

00:03:51.678 --> 00:03:54.343
in that constant cycle.

00:03:54.343 --> 00:03:56.236
Okay, bring the 
head back over the heart.

00:03:56.236 --> 00:04:00.207
Let's keep the left heel
coming in towards the body here

00:04:00.207 --> 00:04:03.810
and in your own time gently
extend the right leg out long.

00:04:05.078 --> 00:04:09.249
If you are already starting to
feel a stretch here, amazing.

00:04:09.249 --> 00:04:11.051
This is why we're here.

00:04:11.051 --> 00:04:14.254
If not, move the fleshy 
part of the buttocks aside.

00:04:14.254 --> 00:04:17.190
Take a deep breath in to reach
the arms up and overhead.

00:04:17.190 --> 00:04:20.026
And first on the exhale you're
gonna take your right hand

00:04:20.026 --> 00:04:22.442
over towards the 
top of your left thigh

00:04:22.442 --> 00:04:26.433
and your left hand up and
over towards your right toes.

00:04:26.433 --> 00:04:29.603
So don't worry about 
this specific shape here.

00:04:29.603 --> 00:04:32.973
Focus on the 
sensation here instead.

00:04:32.973 --> 00:04:35.142
Flex your right toes,
you can even

00:04:35.142 --> 00:04:36.476
spread the right toes here.

00:04:36.476 --> 00:04:39.012
Breathing deep, inhale in.

00:04:40.347 --> 00:04:43.016
Exhale to come 
all the way back up.

00:04:43.016 --> 00:04:44.885
Now bring your 
fingertips to the earth

00:04:44.885 --> 00:04:46.787
and you're gonna lift 
your hip points up high.

00:04:46.787 --> 00:04:50.357
Shift your center, 
your navel towards

00:04:50.357 --> 00:04:53.693
your right toes and 
here we go, inhale in.

00:04:53.693 --> 00:04:54.961
Exhale, bend your right knee

00:04:54.961 --> 00:04:57.731
as generously as you need 
to as you drape your belly

00:04:57.731 --> 00:05:00.667
and your heart over 
the top of your right leg.

00:05:01.635 --> 00:05:05.872
In time we can work to bow the
head down towards the knee,

00:05:05.872 --> 00:05:08.041
nose towards at the knee.

00:05:08.041 --> 00:05:10.577
And in time we 
might be able to work

00:05:10.577 --> 00:05:12.779
to straighten that leg,
head to knee pose here.

00:05:12.779 --> 00:05:17.040
Breathing into the kidneys,
toward the kidneys, excuse me,

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.620
into the low back, 
relaxing the shoulders down,

00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:22.622
keeping the right foot active.

00:05:24.257 --> 00:05:27.427
Take a second here to listen
to the sound of your breath.

00:05:32.132 --> 00:05:35.468
And then slowly begin 
to roll it up. Awesome.

00:05:36.603 --> 00:05:38.538
We'll bring the right heel in

00:05:38.538 --> 00:05:40.574
and send the left leg out long.

00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:49.202
Inhale, when you're ready,
reach the fingertips up high.

00:05:49.202 --> 00:05:53.119
Exhale, left hand to the right
knee and then here we go.

00:05:53.119 --> 00:05:55.689
Think up with the 
right fingertips and over.

00:05:56.790 --> 00:05:58.284
Towards the left foot.

00:05:59.059 --> 00:06:01.928
And I used to just shove 
myself into these shapes,

00:06:01.928 --> 00:06:03.697
kind of more traditional shapes

00:06:03.697 --> 00:06:06.299
and I wanna 
encourage you not to do that.

00:06:06.299 --> 00:06:07.901
Instead focus on the sensation.

00:06:07.901 --> 00:06:10.670
So I'm feeling this stretch.

00:06:10.670 --> 00:06:13.632
I'm using my 
breath to find depth.

00:06:16.176 --> 00:06:18.645
Flexing the left 
foot towards your head,

00:06:18.645 --> 00:06:20.038
take one more breath.

00:06:21.495 --> 00:06:25.485
And then slowly release,
fingertips come to the earth.

00:06:25.485 --> 00:06:28.822
We're gonna shift the 
hips now towards the left.

00:06:28.822 --> 00:06:31.024
So now your center, 
your navel is pointing towards

00:06:31.024 --> 00:06:34.756
your left toes.
Inhale in, lift up.

00:06:34.756 --> 00:06:37.831
Reach for the sky, exhale,
bend your knees generously

00:06:37.831 --> 00:06:40.100
as you need to and 
start to drape the belly

00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:42.569
and the heart over 
the top of your left leg.

00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:44.037
Now work here with your breath.

00:06:44.037 --> 00:06:47.540
In time we can maybe 
get a little bit closer,

00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:51.678
knee towards the, or excuse
me, nose towards the knee.

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:56.750
Finding your 
appropriate edge today

00:06:56.750 --> 00:06:58.818
and breathing deep 
as you come again

00:06:58.818 --> 00:07:01.354
into your private 
little love cave here.

00:07:01.354 --> 00:07:03.089
Listen to the 
sound of your breath.

00:07:05.125 --> 00:07:07.270
Relax the skin of your forehead.

00:07:11.031 --> 00:07:12.565
Soften through the jaw.

00:07:16.012 --> 00:07:18.405
Gorgeous, then take 
one more deep breath in.

00:07:18.405 --> 00:07:20.607
Breathe into all 
four sides of your torso.

00:07:22.142 --> 00:07:26.413
And then exhale 
to roll it up, awesome.

00:07:26.413 --> 00:07:29.916
Bring the soles of the feet
together here, Cobbler's Pose.

00:07:29.916 --> 00:07:32.319
If the knees are up here,
just let them be up here

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.155
where you are today, 
notice where you are in the hips

00:07:35.155 --> 00:07:38.197
and be thankful that 
you're here making discoveries,

00:07:38.197 --> 00:07:40.226
and in time 
with regular practice

00:07:40.226 --> 00:07:44.397
or with your rebirth, 
rejuvenating your love for yoga

00:07:44.397 --> 00:07:46.296
and your commitment 
to home practice,

00:07:46.296 --> 00:07:49.141
you can work to slowly, slowly,
slowly, slowly open the hips.

00:07:49.141 --> 00:07:53.807
You'd be surprised how 
fast the body can change

00:07:53.807 --> 00:07:56.943
and transform 
with regular practice.

00:07:56.943 --> 00:07:58.144
So layer in the breath here.

00:07:58.144 --> 00:08:00.980
Wherever you are, lift up
through the heart, the chest.

00:08:02.282 --> 00:08:04.918
You can check in with 
the head and the neck again.

00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:08.822
Find a nice, tall posture.

00:08:16.029 --> 00:08:17.664
Excellent and then 
take one more breath,

00:08:17.664 --> 00:08:20.800
sit up a little taller, 
lengthen through the crown,

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.335
relax the shoulders down.

00:08:24.037 --> 00:08:27.374
And then slowly release, 
bring the knees together.

00:08:27.374 --> 00:08:30.043
They're gonna come together,
together, really together.

00:08:30.043 --> 00:08:33.813
And arches of the feet are
gonna squeeze together as well.

00:08:33.813 --> 00:08:35.315
Great, bring the 
hands to the backs

00:08:35.315 --> 00:08:38.784
of the thighs now, 
lean back, way back.

00:08:41.821 --> 00:08:43.523
I was gonna say with my 
mind on my money and my money

00:08:43.523 --> 00:08:46.159
on my mind, okay, and 
then lift the shins up parallel

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.794
to the ceiling as you lean back.

00:08:47.794 --> 00:08:50.730
You can stay on the 
backs of the thighs here

00:08:50.730 --> 00:08:52.265
with the hands holding on

00:08:52.265 --> 00:08:54.667
or we'll reach the 
fingertips forward, palms up.

00:08:54.667 --> 00:08:56.202
Smile here as you breathe deep,

00:08:56.202 --> 00:09:00.340
lighting a little tiny 
little fire in the belly.

00:09:00.340 --> 00:09:02.208
Inhale in.

00:09:02.208 --> 00:09:05.545
Exhale. Inhale, draw 
the hands to the heart.

00:09:05.545 --> 00:09:07.814
Exhale, twisting to the lift,

00:09:07.814 --> 00:09:09.382
tap your right toes down.

00:09:09.382 --> 00:09:11.317
Inhale back to center,
everything.

00:09:11.317 --> 00:09:14.187
Exhale, twist to the right,
tap your left toes down.

00:09:14.187 --> 00:09:16.456
Inhale to center, 
keep your chest lifted.

00:09:16.456 --> 00:09:18.391
Exhale, twist.

00:09:18.391 --> 00:09:20.326
Inhale to center.

00:09:20.326 --> 00:09:21.161
Exhale, twist.

00:09:21.161 --> 00:09:23.096
One more time to each side,
you got this, nice and slow.

00:09:23.096 --> 00:09:26.466
Inhale, lift.
Exhale, twist and tap.

00:09:26.466 --> 00:09:29.836
Inhale, lift. 
Exhale, twist and tap.

00:09:29.836 --> 00:09:33.540
Awesome, from here you're
gonna slowly cross the ankles,

00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:36.676
come through to all 
fours nice and slow.

00:09:36.676 --> 00:09:38.611
Find your Tabletop Position,

00:09:38.611 --> 00:09:40.547
knees underneath the hip points,

00:09:41.614 --> 00:09:43.683
wrists underneath the shoulders.

00:09:44.784 --> 00:09:46.719
On your next 
inhale drop the belly,

00:09:46.719 --> 00:09:47.887
breathe like you love yourself,

00:09:47.887 --> 00:09:50.790
move like you love yourself,
open the heart forward.

00:09:51.858 --> 00:09:54.194
Exhale, mindfully round through,

00:09:54.194 --> 00:09:56.162
draw the navel 
up towards the sky,

00:09:56.162 --> 00:09:57.197
press into the hands,

00:09:57.197 --> 00:09:59.833
press into the 
tops of the feet firmly.

00:09:59.833 --> 00:10:02.802
Again, inhale, 
drop the belly, smooth it out.

00:10:04.838 --> 00:10:07.120
Exhale, rounding through.

00:10:09.275 --> 00:10:11.578
Keep it going now
with your breath.

00:10:13.746 --> 00:10:18.251
Creating soft, easy 
movement in the body,

00:10:19.219 --> 00:10:21.254
focusing on the spine here.

00:10:23.823 --> 00:10:26.893
Always, always, always 
syncing up with your breath.

00:10:26.893 --> 00:10:31.264
Whenever possible, 
spiraling back to that conscious

00:10:32.365 --> 00:10:35.596
attention towards your breath,
towards your spirit.

00:10:38.171 --> 00:10:39.903
Towards you.

00:10:42.175 --> 00:10:45.144
Alright, even it out,
find what feels good.

00:10:45.144 --> 00:10:46.501
Let's meet back in a nice

00:10:46.501 --> 00:10:48.948
Tabletop Position, 
neutral spine.

00:10:48.948 --> 00:10:51.117
So the crown is 
really reaching forward

00:10:51.117 --> 00:10:52.852
and the tail is 
lengthening back,

00:10:52.852 --> 00:10:55.054
so the head's not dipping down.

00:10:55.054 --> 00:10:56.623
Then press away 
from your yoga mat,

00:10:56.623 --> 00:10:58.892
literally press 
away from the earth,

00:10:58.892 --> 00:11:01.895
lift your shoulder 
blades left to right.

00:11:01.895 --> 00:11:03.696
Hollow through the front body.

00:11:03.696 --> 00:11:05.565
So we're hugging the low ribs in

00:11:05.565 --> 00:11:07.800
and we're gonna test 
that by curling the toes under

00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:11.538
and lifting the knee 
caps here for hovering table.

00:11:11.538 --> 00:11:14.307
Breathe in deep, here we go.

00:11:14.307 --> 00:11:16.976
Send your gaze down 
once you have the shape.

00:11:16.976 --> 00:11:18.778
Upper arm bones rotate out,

00:11:18.778 --> 00:11:21.314
you're feeling your abdominal
wall turn on once again,

00:11:21.314 --> 00:11:23.850
lighting that 
sweet fire in the belly.

00:11:23.850 --> 00:11:26.886
We're here for ten, 
mhmmm, nine, you got it.

00:11:26.886 --> 00:11:31.357
Eight, seven, six, five,

00:11:31.357 --> 00:11:35.395
four, three, two, on 
the one lower the knees.

00:11:35.395 --> 00:11:36.863
Bring them together,
really together

00:11:36.863 --> 00:11:38.164
and you're gonna 
send the hips back

00:11:38.164 --> 00:11:40.934
for Balasana, yay, Child's Pose.

00:11:40.934 --> 00:11:44.103
Send the fingertips towards
the back edge of your mat.

00:11:44.103 --> 00:11:47.813
Melt your heart down, 
close your eyes and breathe.

00:11:55.882 --> 00:11:58.418
Notice if you're 
gripping anywhere

00:11:58.418 --> 00:12:00.720
around the shoulders 
or the elbows.

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.256
See if you can let the 
weight of your arms go.

00:12:12.198 --> 00:12:14.634
Then with your eyes closed,

00:12:14.634 --> 00:12:17.337
take one more cycle of 
breath here in and out.

00:12:23.116 --> 00:12:25.945
And then slowly begin 
to wiggle the fingertips,

00:12:25.945 --> 00:12:28.281
draw the hands and 
the arms all the way up,

00:12:28.281 --> 00:12:31.063
carve a line with 
your nose to look forward

00:12:31.063 --> 00:12:35.188
and slowly we'll come 
back up to all fours. Awesome.

00:12:35.188 --> 00:12:38.691
Walk the hands out wide,
curl the toes under,

00:12:38.691 --> 00:12:41.127
start to peel up 
towards Downward Facing Dog.

00:12:42.328 --> 00:12:43.830
Take a deep breath in here.

00:12:44.897 --> 00:12:48.267
Exhale, start to 
pedal it out, stretch.

00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:56.175
Listen to the sound 
of your breath here,

00:12:57.477 --> 00:12:59.278
and when you're ready, 
anchor through the left heel

00:12:59.278 --> 00:13:03.483
and inhale, lift the right
leg up high, Three-Legged Dog.

00:13:03.483 --> 00:13:05.818
Exhale, shift it 
forward all the way.

00:13:05.818 --> 00:13:08.354
Step up the right foot, 
lower the back knee down

00:13:08.354 --> 00:13:10.590
for a nice, low lunge.

00:13:10.590 --> 00:13:12.859
Front knee over front ankle.

00:13:12.859 --> 00:13:16.095
You can walk that left knee
back just a bit if you like.

00:13:16.095 --> 00:13:19.065
Inhale to open 
the chest forward,

00:13:19.065 --> 00:13:21.200
exhale to peel the 
right hip crease back.

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.302
Flex your right 
toes towards your face.

00:13:24.671 --> 00:13:27.707
Slowly draw your nose 
towards your knees here.

00:13:28.608 --> 00:13:31.244
Knee, sorry, nose 
towards your right knee here.

00:13:32.945 --> 00:13:35.348
Got into it, and then rolling 
through the front foot

00:13:35.348 --> 00:13:37.750
we're gonna come back up,
front knee over front ankle.

00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:39.419
This time sweep 
the arms forward up

00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:41.154
and back, Crescent Lunge.

00:13:41.154 --> 00:13:43.256
Lift your heart, peel 
the right hip crease back,

00:13:43.256 --> 00:13:44.524
lift up from the pelvic floor.

00:13:44.524 --> 00:13:48.461
Find that inner support 
system here in this shape.

00:13:48.461 --> 00:13:50.463
Soft fingers or bright fingers,

00:13:50.463 --> 00:13:54.367
just nice conscious fingers,
inhale in.

00:13:54.367 --> 00:13:55.835
Exhale, rain it down.

00:13:55.835 --> 00:13:57.670
Okay, check it out, 
we're gonna lift the back knee,

00:13:57.670 --> 00:13:59.872
come to a nice low lunge here.

00:13:59.872 --> 00:14:01.774
Take your right hand 
over to meet the left.

00:14:01.774 --> 00:14:03.076
You're gonna 
keep walking it around

00:14:03.076 --> 00:14:04.477
as you straighten your legs,

00:14:04.477 --> 00:14:09.482
coming into a nice, standing,
Wide-Legged Forward Fold.

00:14:10.817 --> 00:14:12.982
Slight microbend 
in the knees here,

00:14:12.982 --> 00:14:15.822
toes are slightly turned in.

00:14:15.822 --> 00:14:17.190
We're breathing deep here.

00:14:17.190 --> 00:14:19.826
If the fingertips or hands
don't make it to the ground,

00:14:19.826 --> 00:14:21.694
you can bring the hands 
to the tops of the thighs

00:14:21.694 --> 00:14:23.329
but with slight 
bend in the knee.

00:14:24.564 --> 00:14:25.598
Breathing deep here.

00:14:25.598 --> 00:14:27.467
If the hands do 
make it to the ground,

00:14:27.467 --> 00:14:29.469
you can start to walk them back,

00:14:29.469 --> 00:14:34.073
close to the arches of the
feet and maybe even one day

00:14:34.073 --> 00:14:37.009
getting in line with the
arches of the feet and inviting

00:14:37.009 --> 00:14:39.893
the crown of the 
head to come down.

00:14:41.914 --> 00:14:44.550
If the crown of the 
head is coming down,

00:14:44.550 --> 00:14:48.054
draw up from the 
arches and bring the elbows

00:14:48.054 --> 00:14:51.724
so they're nice and square,
two 90 degree angles.

00:14:53.526 --> 00:14:56.662
And everyone draw the navel
in and up, Uddiyana Bandha.

00:14:56.662 --> 00:14:59.532
Just slowly come back out.

00:14:59.532 --> 00:15:02.034
We're gonna keep turning 
now towards the left foot.

00:15:02.034 --> 00:15:05.338
Come into a nice, low 
lunge on the left side.

00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:08.941
Front knee over front ankle,
breathe deep here.

00:15:08.941 --> 00:15:11.444
If you want, you can 
walk the right knee back now

00:15:11.444 --> 00:15:13.012
for a deeper stretch.

00:15:14.847 --> 00:15:16.282
Inhale, open the chest,

00:15:16.282 --> 00:15:19.886
let your heart energy radiate
forward and then exhale,

00:15:19.886 --> 00:15:22.922
peel the left hip crease back,
flex those left toes towards

00:15:22.922 --> 00:15:24.423
your face and breathe deep

00:15:24.423 --> 00:15:27.460
as you guide the nose 
towards your left knee.

00:15:32.839 --> 00:15:37.603
Mhmmm, mhmmm, so awesome,
take one more breath.

00:15:37.603 --> 00:15:42.074
Here and then rolling 
through the front foot,

00:15:42.074 --> 00:15:44.143
we'll come back to 
that nice, low lunge.

00:15:44.143 --> 00:15:45.444
When you're ready, inhale,

00:15:45.444 --> 00:15:48.347
Crescent, reaching 
fingertips forward, up and back.

00:15:48.347 --> 00:15:50.583
We're not just dumping all
of our energy into the earth,

00:15:50.583 --> 00:15:55.121
we're using it, using the earth
to find that energy within

00:15:55.121 --> 00:15:56.522
and you can literally find

00:15:56.522 --> 00:15:59.492
that muscularly 
through the asana.

00:15:59.492 --> 00:16:01.961
So lift up 
through the pelvic floor,

00:16:01.961 --> 00:16:03.896
find your big beach 
ball up and over head,

00:16:03.896 --> 00:16:07.400
peel the left hip 
crease back, inhale.

00:16:07.400 --> 00:16:10.169
And exhale, 
slowly release it down.

00:16:10.169 --> 00:16:11.938
Back knee lifts, 
we're gonna come right back

00:16:11.938 --> 00:16:15.374
through that standing 
Wide-Legged Forward Fold.

00:16:16.676 --> 00:16:18.344
Awesome.

00:16:18.344 --> 00:16:21.881
Breathe deep here, 
take your variation.

00:16:23.616 --> 00:16:26.598
Whatever works for you, but
make sure you're breathing.

00:16:30.857 --> 00:16:32.358
And if you're folded down,

00:16:32.358 --> 00:16:34.560
slowly walk your 
fingertips back out.

00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:36.929
Come to a nice 
flat back position,

00:16:36.929 --> 00:16:39.398
and together we'll 
continue the journey bending

00:16:39.398 --> 00:16:41.601
the front knee, 
coming all the way back.

00:16:41.601 --> 00:16:43.402
You're gonna 
plant the palms here

00:16:43.402 --> 00:16:44.270
and we're just 
gonna kick it right back

00:16:44.270 --> 00:16:45.705
to Downward Facing Dog.

00:16:48.274 --> 00:16:49.108
Awesome.

00:16:50.476 --> 00:16:52.078
Plant the palms.

00:16:53.045 --> 00:16:55.263
Turn the two big toes in.

00:16:55.263 --> 00:16:57.046
Send the hips up 
high and back.

00:16:58.351 --> 00:17:01.587
Great, inhale, slide the left
up high, Three-Legged Dog.

00:17:01.587 --> 00:17:03.489
Exhale, slowly send it forward

00:17:03.489 --> 00:17:06.291
all the way into 
a nice, low lunge.

00:17:06.291 --> 00:17:07.827
Inhale, Crescent.

00:17:09.028 --> 00:17:11.464
Listen carefully, exhale.

00:17:11.464 --> 00:17:12.832
Floating the fingertips down,

00:17:12.832 --> 00:17:14.733
you're gonna plant the 
palms and we're gonna kick it

00:17:14.733 --> 00:17:16.402
back up to that 
Three-Legged Dog.

00:17:18.671 --> 00:17:21.440
Good, lower the left foot.

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:22.942
Anchor through 
the left heel, inhale,

00:17:22.942 --> 00:17:25.077
lift the right leg up high.

00:17:25.077 --> 00:17:28.214
Exhale, shift it forward,
lower the back knee.

00:17:28.214 --> 00:17:30.516
Crescent on the inhale,
reach it up.

00:17:31.717 --> 00:17:35.321
Finding your flow with 
your breath, exhale, plant.

00:17:35.321 --> 00:17:37.189
Kick it back, Three-Legged Dog.

00:17:39.058 --> 00:17:40.965
Right leg lowers.

00:17:40.965 --> 00:17:42.689
Inhale, left leg up high.

00:17:43.663 --> 00:17:45.164
Exhale, step it forward.

00:17:46.766 --> 00:17:48.701
Inhale, Crescent,
lift your heart.

00:17:49.669 --> 00:17:51.170
Exhale to release.

00:17:52.171 --> 00:17:53.773
Inhale, Three-Legged Dog.

00:17:55.441 --> 00:17:58.244
And exhale, lower left leg down.

00:17:58.244 --> 00:17:59.712
Okay, here we 
go with the breath.

00:17:59.712 --> 00:18:01.480
Inhale, lift the 
right leg up high.

00:18:02.415 --> 00:18:04.417
Exhale, step it forward.

00:18:04.417 --> 00:18:06.419
Lower the back knee, 
inhale, Crescent.

00:18:07.820 --> 00:18:09.355
Exhale, rain it down.

00:18:10.323 --> 00:18:12.458
Inhale, Three-Legged Dog,
you got this.

00:18:13.526 --> 00:18:16.095
Exhale, lower 
the right foot down.

00:18:16.095 --> 00:18:17.830
Inhale, lift the 
left leg up high.

00:18:18.965 --> 00:18:20.299
Exhale, shift it forward.

00:18:21.834 --> 00:18:24.070
Inhale, Crescent,
squeeze the inner

00:18:24.070 --> 00:18:25.404
thighs to the midline.

00:18:25.404 --> 00:18:27.640
Exhale, plant the palms.

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:29.542
Connect to your core,
hug the low ribs in.

00:18:29.542 --> 00:18:30.843
Inhale, Three-Legged Dog.

00:18:31.677 --> 00:18:34.080
Exhale, lower left foot down.

00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:36.649
Inhale, lift the 
right leg up high.

00:18:36.649 --> 00:18:38.886
Exhale, step it forward.

00:18:38.886 --> 00:18:40.519
Lower the back knee.

00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.821
Inhale, lift it up.

00:18:43.022 --> 00:18:44.457
Exhale, float it down.

00:18:45.625 --> 00:18:46.993
Inhale, kick it back.

00:18:48.194 --> 00:18:50.085
Exhale, float it down.
One more round.

00:18:50.085 --> 00:18:52.365
Inhale, lift the 
left leg up high.

00:18:52.365 --> 00:18:53.399
Exhale, shift it forward.

00:18:53.399 --> 00:18:55.835
This time, option to 
keep the back knee lifted.

00:18:55.835 --> 00:18:57.036
Inhale, reach it up.

00:18:57.903 --> 00:19:00.840
Exhale, slowly lower down.

00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:02.341
Inhale, kick it back.

00:19:03.376 --> 00:19:04.677
Exhale, lower.

00:19:04.677 --> 00:19:07.580
Last side, inhale, lift it up.

00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:09.115
Exhale, step it up.

00:19:10.316 --> 00:19:12.551
Inhale, option to 
keep the back knee lifted.

00:19:12.551 --> 00:19:14.262
Reach up high.

00:19:14.262 --> 00:19:17.790
Exhale, slowly send 
the hands down.

00:19:17.790 --> 00:19:19.625
Last one, inhale, lift it up.

00:19:20.493 --> 00:19:23.229
Exhale, lower the 
right foot to the ground.

00:19:23.229 --> 00:19:26.265
Both feet on the ground,
press away from your yoga mat,

00:19:26.265 --> 00:19:28.100
send the hips up high and back.

00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:33.105
Inhale in, exhale, slow descend
to the knees to the earth.

00:19:33.572 --> 00:19:35.875
Bring your knees together,
really together.

00:19:35.875 --> 00:19:38.811
Paint your yoga mat,
flick the palms back

00:19:38.811 --> 00:19:41.047
and melt your 
heart in Child's Pose.

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.719
Close your eyes.

00:19:46.719 --> 00:19:49.855
Observe your breath, see if
you can feel your heartbeat.

00:19:52.024 --> 00:19:53.158
Awesome work.

00:19:55.628 --> 00:19:58.230
Take a couple 
quiet breaths here.

00:20:00.232 --> 00:20:02.446
Just blanket yourself in love.

00:20:05.504 --> 00:20:08.232
Feeling the rise and 
the fall of your breath.

00:20:17.550 --> 00:20:20.653
Awesome, then start to 
wiggle your fingertips.

00:20:23.189 --> 00:20:26.058
And when you're ready,
dragging the arms,

00:20:26.058 --> 00:20:31.216
the hands forward, carving a
line with the nose to lift up

00:20:31.216 --> 00:20:35.668
and coming through 
all the way to flat back.

00:20:35.668 --> 00:20:38.437
So you can cross the 
ankles and come through.

00:20:38.437 --> 00:20:42.007
You're gonna lay on your back,
snuggle the shoulder blades

00:20:42.007 --> 00:20:44.100
underneath your 
heart space here.

00:20:46.445 --> 00:20:48.639
And legs out long.

00:20:50.416 --> 00:20:51.550
Take one final stretch,

00:20:51.550 --> 00:20:54.386
inhale, reaching the 
arms up and overhead.

00:20:56.188 --> 00:21:00.960
And exhale to gently 
bring the hands to your sides,

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.329
walk the heels out.

00:21:03.329 --> 00:21:07.233
Allow the feet to relax 
and the hands to relax.

00:21:07.233 --> 00:21:10.269
And you can close your 
eyes here, tucking the chin.

00:21:12.605 --> 00:21:15.407
Finding that length 
in the back of the neck.

00:21:18.944 --> 00:21:21.547
Allow for a moment 
of surrender here.

00:21:24.216 --> 00:21:29.088
Surrendering to that 
which you cannot control.

00:21:31.724 --> 00:21:36.462
Remembering that 
everything that we learn

00:21:36.462 --> 00:21:38.601
and practice on the mat

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:43.052
potentially has 
value off the mat.

00:21:51.510 --> 00:21:54.914
As you're ready, 
bring the palms together,

00:21:54.914 --> 00:21:56.982
thumbs right up 
to the third eye.

00:21:59.051 --> 00:22:01.887
Take one final big inhale in.

00:22:04.190 --> 00:22:09.195
And as you exhale, slowly peel
one foot up, then the other.

00:22:11.263 --> 00:22:13.832
And then when you're ready,
release the hands,

00:22:13.832 --> 00:22:16.635
bring them to the shins, hug
your knees into your chest,

00:22:16.635 --> 00:22:18.442
rock gently side to side.

00:22:26.912 --> 00:22:28.147
Awesome work.

00:22:28.147 --> 00:22:29.281
Cross the ankles,

00:22:29.281 --> 00:22:31.584
we're gonna roll all 
the way up nice and easy.

00:22:31.584 --> 00:22:34.186
You can rock a couple 
times if it feels awesome.

00:22:34.186 --> 00:22:38.924
Come to a seat and bring the
palms together at your heart.

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:44.096
Remember your intention,
whatever came up

00:22:44.096 --> 00:22:45.731
at the beginning 
of this practice

00:22:45.731 --> 00:22:48.267
as you gently bow the 
head to the heart once again.

00:22:50.636 --> 00:22:52.705
And we'll finish this practice

00:22:52.705 --> 00:22:55.040
by taking three deep breaths,
so here we go.

00:22:55.040 --> 00:23:00.179
Big inhale in 
through the nose and out.

00:23:02.514 --> 00:23:03.983
Inhale in.

00:23:06.085 --> 00:23:07.586
And empty it out.

00:23:09.355 --> 00:23:11.991
And one more time, big inhale.

00:23:15.694 --> 00:23:17.229
And final exhale.

00:23:20.966 --> 00:23:23.335
I wish you the 
best on your journey.

00:23:23.335 --> 00:23:25.004
Thank you for 
sharing your practice

00:23:25.004 --> 00:23:27.473
and your valuable time with me

00:23:27.473 --> 00:23:29.508
and with the 
Yoga With Adriene community.

00:23:34.280 --> 00:23:36.515
We'll finish by 
bowing the head to the heart

00:23:36.515 --> 00:23:38.335
and whispering

00:23:38.335 --> 00:23:39.585
Namaste.

00:23:41.515 --> 00:23:45.312
(upbeat music)
