WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.239
- Hey, everyone.
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.239 --> 00:00:05.609
I'm Adriene, and today 
we have a practice

00:00:05.609 --> 00:00:09.643
that is designed to 
reunite you with your core.

00:00:09.643 --> 00:00:12.279
And no, I'm not just 
talking about the abs,

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:13.647
but yes, the abs too.

00:00:13.647 --> 00:00:16.777
So hop into something comfy,
and let's get started.

00:00:16.777 --> 00:00:19.620
(upbeat music)

00:00:29.563 --> 00:00:31.665
Alright, party people,
let's hop right to it.

00:00:31.665 --> 00:00:34.468
We're gonna begin today's 
practice on the ground.

00:00:34.468 --> 00:00:36.234
So come on down.

00:00:37.568 --> 00:00:41.041
Get your back on your mat.

00:00:41.041 --> 00:00:43.143
Take a deep 
"I love you" breath in.

00:00:43.143 --> 00:00:45.380
I'm serious. Breathe like 
you love yourself today.

00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:46.280
Life's too short.

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.949
You're gonna walk the heels
up towards the sits bones,

00:00:48.949 --> 00:00:51.485
bring your palms to the earth,

00:00:51.485 --> 00:00:54.554
and when you're ready, inhale,
lift the hips up high,

00:00:54.554 --> 00:00:56.106
shins go forward.

00:00:56.106 --> 00:00:59.326
You can snuggle the shoulder
blades together a bit here.

00:00:59.326 --> 00:01:03.096
We're slowly lifting 
the hips up towards the sky.

00:01:03.096 --> 00:01:06.900
We're slowly grounding in
through the soles of the feet.

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:09.293
We're slowly 
taking the deepest breath

00:01:09.293 --> 00:01:11.805
we've taken in all day,

00:01:11.805 --> 00:01:15.008
and then slowly exhaling 
as you lower the hips down.

00:01:16.376 --> 00:01:17.811
Excellent. Walk 
the feet together.

00:01:17.811 --> 00:01:19.613
Open the knees wide.

00:01:19.613 --> 00:01:22.328
Reach the fingertips forward,
inhale in.

00:01:22.328 --> 00:01:24.251
Exhale, you're gonna 
reach, reach, reach

00:01:24.251 --> 00:01:25.852
towards the 
front edge of your mat.

00:01:25.852 --> 00:01:27.821
Keep your neck 
nice and long here

00:01:27.821 --> 00:01:31.224
as you start to begin to 
contract through the belly,

00:01:31.224 --> 00:01:32.526
the abdominal wall.

00:01:32.526 --> 00:01:34.161
Keep the neck nice and long.

00:01:34.161 --> 00:01:37.331
If you need extra support 
for the head or neck here,

00:01:37.331 --> 00:01:39.132
no worries, just bring 
the hands behind the head.

00:01:39.132 --> 00:01:40.968
Keep the elbows 
nice and wide though.

00:01:43.437 --> 00:01:45.906
Holding here, breathing,
breathing, breathing.

00:01:45.906 --> 00:01:47.808
Gaze up.

00:01:47.808 --> 00:01:50.510
So not crunching 
the chin to the chest,

00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:52.512
but keeping the 
neck nice and long.

00:01:52.512 --> 00:01:54.694
We're here for three, two.
You did awesome.

00:01:54.694 --> 00:01:57.584
On the one, slowly come back in.

00:01:57.584 --> 00:01:59.653
Great. Lift the shins parallel.

00:01:59.653 --> 00:02:01.621
You're gonna really 
scoop the tailbone up

00:02:01.621 --> 00:02:04.358
so that your navel 
draws down to the earth.

00:02:04.358 --> 00:02:05.625
Great.

00:02:05.625 --> 00:02:07.094
Cross the arms over the chest.

00:02:07.094 --> 00:02:08.627
Inhale in. Exhale.

00:02:08.627 --> 00:02:10.896
You're gonna lift, lift,
lift the heart up.

00:02:10.896 --> 00:02:14.017
Try to think about keeping
your gaze up towards the sky.

00:02:14.017 --> 00:02:16.136
You're gonna hold here,
breathing deep,

00:02:16.136 --> 00:02:18.171
breathing, breathing, breathing.

00:02:18.171 --> 00:02:21.174
Scooping tailbone up, 
hugging lower ribs down,

00:02:21.174 --> 00:02:25.746
starting to feel the muscles
of the abdominal wall turn on.

00:02:25.746 --> 00:02:27.244
Great. Then here we go.
Check it out.

00:02:27.244 --> 00:02:29.082
You're gonna 
take the fingertips,

00:02:29.082 --> 00:02:31.351
reach them all 
the way behind you,

00:02:31.351 --> 00:02:34.688
then straighten the legs, 
inhale in, and then exhale.

00:02:34.688 --> 00:02:36.289
Hug everything in to the chest.

00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:38.225
Ah. Find what feels good here.

00:02:38.225 --> 00:02:40.394
Rock gently side to side.

00:02:40.394 --> 00:02:41.762
You can take a Happy Baby.

00:02:41.762 --> 00:02:44.364
You can extend one 
leg and then the other.

00:02:44.364 --> 00:02:46.867
Take a couple deep
"I love you" breaths of here.

00:02:50.404 --> 00:02:51.872
Mmm.

00:02:54.574 --> 00:02:56.843
Awesome, then 
interlace the fingertips.

00:02:56.843 --> 00:02:59.446
Bring them behind the head,
elbows nice and wide.

00:02:59.446 --> 00:03:01.381
Send the legs all the way up.

00:03:01.381 --> 00:03:02.616
Inhale in, exhale.

00:03:02.616 --> 00:03:05.485
Just the left leg lowers down,
just the left leg.

00:03:05.485 --> 00:03:06.920
Try to keep the feet awake here.

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:08.688
So you can point 
the toes or flex,

00:03:08.688 --> 00:03:10.524
just not lots of energy.

00:03:10.524 --> 00:03:12.793
And then slowly 
bring the left leg back up.

00:03:12.793 --> 00:03:16.396
Inhale in, exhale, right 
leg hovers above the ground.

00:03:18.665 --> 00:03:21.968
Beautiful. Keep breathing and
keep switching back and forth,

00:03:21.968 --> 00:03:24.071
scissoring the 
legs back and forth,

00:03:24.071 --> 00:03:25.639
moving with your breath.

00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:26.840
If you want a little more here,

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.609
you can lift the head, 
the shoulders, the elbows.

00:03:29.609 --> 00:03:31.545
Keep the elbows nice and wide.

00:03:31.545 --> 00:03:33.380
So you have two options here.

00:03:35.549 --> 00:03:37.517
Starting to warm up.

00:03:37.517 --> 00:03:39.319
Light a little fire.

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.155
Reunite with your core.

00:03:44.491 --> 00:03:45.325
Awesome.

00:03:45.325 --> 00:03:47.160
Nice and slow and steady here,

00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:50.864
so you don't have to work 
super fast, breathing deep,

00:03:50.864 --> 00:03:55.202
finding that center point to
reconnect with your center,

00:03:55.202 --> 00:03:57.771
and keep the lower 
back flush with the mat.

00:04:01.274 --> 00:04:03.132
Awesome work.
Even it out.

00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:08.215
And then slowly 
release the hands.

00:04:08.215 --> 00:04:09.783
Keep the feet where they are.

00:04:09.783 --> 00:04:11.985
You're gonna walk your hands,
or your thumbs rather,

00:04:11.985 --> 00:04:12.919
underneath your bum,

00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.156
or another option is to grab
the outer edges of the feet,

00:04:16.156 --> 00:04:17.423
of the mat, sorry.

00:04:17.423 --> 00:04:20.494
Flex your feet towards your
face, so toes towards your face.

00:04:20.494 --> 00:04:21.894
Inhale in, exhale,

00:04:21.894 --> 00:04:25.232
you're gonna slowly 
lower the feet and legs down

00:04:25.232 --> 00:04:27.534
just about halfway, halfway.

00:04:27.534 --> 00:04:29.936
Inhale in as you 
pause at the halfway mark

00:04:29.936 --> 00:04:33.140
and then slowly lower 
them all the way down.

00:04:33.140 --> 00:04:35.342
Whoo, and they kiss the earth.

00:04:36.877 --> 00:04:39.012
Take a deep 
"I love you" breath in.

00:04:39.012 --> 00:04:40.714
Reach the 
fingertips all the way up.

00:04:40.714 --> 00:04:42.482
Take a nice full-body stretch.

00:04:42.482 --> 00:04:46.086
Feel the muscles of the 
abdominal wall get long here.

00:04:46.086 --> 00:04:48.622
Inhale in, and then exhale.

00:04:48.622 --> 00:04:50.090
You're gonna hug everything in,

00:04:50.090 --> 00:04:52.425
we're gonna begin to 
rock all the way up to a seat.

00:04:52.425 --> 00:04:56.563
You can rock as many 
times as you like here.

00:04:58.064 --> 00:04:59.933
Find what feels good.

00:04:59.933 --> 00:05:03.537
And then we're gonna 
come to sit up nice and tall.

00:05:03.537 --> 00:05:04.984
Find length in the spine.

00:05:04.984 --> 00:05:06.807
Feet are gonna 
come to the ground.

00:05:06.807 --> 00:05:08.349
The knees are gonna be bent.

00:05:10.210 --> 00:05:12.179
And right away here,

00:05:12.179 --> 00:05:14.948
we're thinking about lifting
up from the pelvic floor.

00:05:14.948 --> 00:05:16.650
So we're not just like expecting

00:05:16.650 --> 00:05:18.652
everything to just 
magically feel supported.

00:05:18.652 --> 00:05:22.355
You have to activate the parts
of the body that you need to

00:05:22.355 --> 00:05:25.025
to recruit for stability.

00:05:25.025 --> 00:05:27.561
So start to lift up from 
the pelvic floor a bit here.

00:05:27.561 --> 00:05:29.362
Hug the low ribs in.

00:05:29.362 --> 00:05:31.131
Breath helps.

00:05:31.131 --> 00:05:33.166
Reunite with your breath here,

00:05:33.166 --> 00:05:35.335
breathing into all 
four sides of the torso.

00:05:36.236 --> 00:05:37.871
And now, for the core.

00:05:37.871 --> 00:05:41.007
So you're gonna take the left
arm in front, bend it here,

00:05:41.007 --> 00:05:42.375
right arm on top.

00:05:43.577 --> 00:05:47.080
Inhale in. Try to 
keep the shoulders relaxed

00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:48.682
as you exhale.

00:05:48.682 --> 00:05:50.317
Great. Then 
lean back just a bit.

00:05:50.317 --> 00:05:53.053
You'll start to feel 
the transverse abdominals

00:05:54.621 --> 00:05:56.723
turn on here.

00:05:57.724 --> 00:06:01.161
And then you 
might just stay here,

00:06:01.161 --> 00:06:03.964
or you might lift the shins.

00:06:05.565 --> 00:06:07.334
Breathe deep.

00:06:07.334 --> 00:06:10.070
Stay here, or we're 
gonna add a twist.

00:06:10.070 --> 00:06:12.806
So you're gonna take the
elbows, turn them to the left,

00:06:12.806 --> 00:06:14.474
touch the right toes down.

00:06:15.475 --> 00:06:16.309
Great.

00:06:16.309 --> 00:06:18.612
Reconnect back at center.

00:06:18.612 --> 00:06:22.582
Turning to the right now,
touching the left toes down.

00:06:22.582 --> 00:06:24.922
Beautiful. Back to center.

00:06:24.922 --> 00:06:28.555
Turning to the left, 
right toes kiss down.

00:06:28.555 --> 00:06:29.990
Back to center.

00:06:29.990 --> 00:06:32.092
Turning to the right,
left toes kiss down.

00:06:32.092 --> 00:06:34.027
Now keep it going,
back and forth,

00:06:34.027 --> 00:06:38.031
finding that 
center point each time.

00:06:41.001 --> 00:06:46.006
Now lighting up through the
obliques, through the low belly.

00:06:50.076 --> 00:06:52.779
Syncing up with a 
breath pattern that serves you,

00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:56.249
maybe inhaling as you come to
center, exhaling to twist.

00:07:03.390 --> 00:07:07.060
Lift up through the chest, 
through the sternum here.

00:07:08.695 --> 00:07:11.687
You're doing great.
Let's do one more on each side.

00:07:11.687 --> 00:07:13.429
Careful not to speed it up.

00:07:14.601 --> 00:07:16.169
Great. Then come back to center.

00:07:16.169 --> 00:07:18.004
You're gonna cross the ankles.

00:07:18.004 --> 00:07:19.862
We're gonna inhale,
lift the elbows up.

00:07:19.862 --> 00:07:21.474
Big stretch up 
towards the sky.

00:07:21.474 --> 00:07:23.877
Inhale in, exhale,
twist to the left.

00:07:23.877 --> 00:07:25.245
Just wring it out here.

00:07:25.245 --> 00:07:28.358
Lift your chest. Grow tall.

00:07:28.358 --> 00:07:32.052
Breathe in, and breathe 
out to come back to center.

00:07:32.052 --> 00:07:33.586
We'll take it to the other side,

00:07:33.586 --> 00:07:36.589
breathing deep here,
finding length.

00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:38.024
Should feel really good.

00:07:39.096 --> 00:07:40.593
Yes.

00:07:40.593 --> 00:07:43.063
And then slowly 
bring it back to center.

00:07:43.063 --> 00:07:45.332
Awesome. From here, 
we're gonna come through,

00:07:46.232 --> 00:07:49.235
slowly making 
our way to all fours.

00:07:49.235 --> 00:07:50.870
Take a deep breath in.

00:07:50.870 --> 00:07:53.106
As you exhale, set 
yourself up for greatness.

00:07:53.106 --> 00:07:56.242
So find a nice strong base.

00:07:56.242 --> 00:07:58.144
Spread the palms super wide,

00:07:58.144 --> 00:07:59.512
wrists underneath the shoulders,

00:07:59.512 --> 00:08:01.214
knees directly 
underneath the hips.

00:08:01.214 --> 00:08:03.249
Benji, you're doing great.

00:08:03.249 --> 00:08:06.407
Okay, here we go.
Finding a hollow position.

00:08:06.407 --> 00:08:07.987
So you're gonna 
slowly draw your navel

00:08:07.987 --> 00:08:09.389
up towards your spine.

00:08:09.389 --> 00:08:11.124
Start to round through the back.

00:08:12.225 --> 00:08:14.227
The placement of the 
hands is so important here,

00:08:14.227 --> 00:08:17.230
my foundation, pressing,
pressing, pressing

00:08:17.230 --> 00:08:19.632
away from the yoga mat,
creating space.

00:08:21.301 --> 00:08:23.403
Great. Just take a 
couple deep breaths here,

00:08:23.403 --> 00:08:26.573
finding that hollow front body,

00:08:26.573 --> 00:08:29.309
lifting the navel up, up,
up towards the sky,

00:08:31.644 --> 00:08:36.016
engaging the muscles 
of the abdominal wall

00:08:36.016 --> 00:08:37.649
with each exhale.

00:08:39.818 --> 00:08:41.321
Excellent.

00:08:41.321 --> 00:08:44.958
You can stay working 
here or curl the toes under.

00:08:44.958 --> 00:08:48.027
Inhale in, and on an exhale,
lift the knees.

00:08:48.027 --> 00:08:49.329
Find this static hold here.

00:08:49.329 --> 00:08:50.897
Now if the knees are lifted,

00:08:50.897 --> 00:08:53.867
hollow in the front body,
breathing deep.

00:08:53.867 --> 00:08:56.069
Soften through 
the skin of the face.

00:08:56.069 --> 00:08:58.138
So no gripping, no clinching.

00:08:59.372 --> 00:09:00.774
Breathing, breathing, breathing

00:09:00.774 --> 00:09:03.710
to find that Sukha,
that ease here,

00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:07.914
as you hold for ten, 
nine, you got this,

00:09:07.914 --> 00:09:12.018
eight, seven, six, you got it,

00:09:12.018 --> 00:09:16.289
five, four, three, two,

00:09:16.289 --> 00:09:18.491
on the one, lower the knees.

00:09:18.491 --> 00:09:22.061
Bring the big toes to touch,
knees as wide as the yoga mat.

00:09:22.061 --> 00:09:25.965
Send the hips back, 
walk the fingertips forward,

00:09:25.965 --> 00:09:28.165
and melt your sweet heart down.

00:09:30.003 --> 00:09:31.704
Alright, this is precious time

00:09:31.704 --> 00:09:32.972
that you've 
carved out for yourself,

00:09:32.972 --> 00:09:36.309
so close your 
eyes and utilize it.

00:09:36.309 --> 00:09:37.277
Lean in.

00:09:37.277 --> 00:09:39.145
You can take the palms together,

00:09:39.145 --> 00:09:40.880
bring them up over 
the back of the neck

00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:42.882
as you walk the elbows forward,

00:09:44.984 --> 00:09:49.489
and really take a big 
breath in and out here.

00:09:51.991 --> 00:09:53.827
And find what feels good.

00:09:53.827 --> 00:09:58.131
So dropping into 
the present moment.

00:09:59.999 --> 00:10:02.135
Acknowledging any 
thoughts that come to mind

00:10:02.135 --> 00:10:05.805
but then returning to 
the sensations in your body.

00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:09.008
Returning to the breath.

00:10:13.746 --> 00:10:16.549
And I feel like this is 
a super important moment,

00:10:16.549 --> 00:10:18.017
particularly in this practice,

00:10:18.017 --> 00:10:21.788
because reuniting with your
core is not just about the abs.

00:10:24.557 --> 00:10:26.359
It's about finding center,

00:10:27.727 --> 00:10:31.888
and it's about taking 
time to get to know yourself

00:10:31.888 --> 00:10:34.367
in whatever stage 
of life you're in.

00:10:36.803 --> 00:10:41.407
Knowing who you are, 
knowing your core beliefs,

00:10:41.407 --> 00:10:43.576
having this sense of center.

00:10:49.382 --> 00:10:51.784
If you're down with that,
take a deep breath in,

00:10:53.403 --> 00:10:55.145
and a long breath out.

00:10:56.756 --> 00:10:59.759
And then slowly 
release the fingertips forward.

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.895
We'll slowly come back up.

00:11:01.895 --> 00:11:03.162
Hi, Benji.

00:11:03.162 --> 00:11:04.931
You woke up.

00:11:04.931 --> 00:11:06.032
Say hello to everyone.

00:11:08.167 --> 00:11:09.002
Okay.

00:11:09.969 --> 00:11:11.471
Walk those palms out now.

00:11:11.471 --> 00:11:13.673
Spread the 
fingertips once again.

00:11:13.673 --> 00:11:14.841
Come into Plank.

00:11:14.841 --> 00:11:16.309
You got this.

00:11:16.309 --> 00:11:19.045
If the wrists are sensitive,
ooh, hair toss,

00:11:19.045 --> 00:11:20.547
shout out to Lizzo,

00:11:21.681 --> 00:11:24.450
then you can come onto the
elbows here for a Forearm Plank.

00:11:26.686 --> 00:11:28.655
So yogi's choice.

00:11:28.655 --> 00:11:31.524
Lift your heart space up
between your shoulder blades.

00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:32.692
Spread them left to right

00:11:32.692 --> 00:11:34.427
so you feel this 
kind of doming effect

00:11:34.427 --> 00:11:36.029
in the upper-back body.

00:11:36.029 --> 00:11:38.164
Reach, reach, 
reach your heels back.

00:11:38.164 --> 00:11:41.601
Send the crown of your head
forward, breathing deep here,

00:11:41.601 --> 00:11:46.137
for ten, nine, 
eight, seven, six,

00:11:46.137 --> 00:11:50.310
five, four, lift your heart 
space a little higher, two,

00:11:50.310 --> 00:11:52.278
and on the one, 
send the hips up high

00:11:52.278 --> 00:11:54.996
and back Downward Facing Dog.
Pedal it out.

00:11:54.996 --> 00:11:56.783
Find what feels good here.

00:11:56.783 --> 00:11:58.037
Remember your breath.

00:12:03.990 --> 00:12:05.858
Then anchor the left 
heel down and inhale.

00:12:05.858 --> 00:12:08.027
Lift the right leg up high.

00:12:08.027 --> 00:12:09.963
On the exhale, you're 
gonna shift it forward.

00:12:09.963 --> 00:12:11.331
Upper body's gonna be in Plank

00:12:11.331 --> 00:12:14.634
as you slowly hug your right
knee in towards your heart.

00:12:14.634 --> 00:12:17.503
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze,
then inhale, kick it back out.

00:12:18.404 --> 00:12:21.007
Exhale, right knee 
to left elbow.

00:12:21.007 --> 00:12:22.875
Cross it over, nice and slow.

00:12:22.875 --> 00:12:24.077
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.

00:12:24.077 --> 00:12:25.745
Careful not to rush.

00:12:25.745 --> 00:12:28.448
Great. Inhale, kick it out,
Three-Legged Dog.

00:12:28.448 --> 00:12:31.150
Exhale, right 
knee to right elbow,

00:12:31.150 --> 00:12:33.086
nice and slow, slow and steady.

00:12:33.086 --> 00:12:34.554
You got this.

00:12:34.554 --> 00:12:36.689
Beautiful. Inhale, kick it out.

00:12:36.689 --> 00:12:38.758
One more time. 
Back to center, exhale,

00:12:38.758 --> 00:12:40.927
take it all the way up and
in toward your heart space.

00:12:40.927 --> 00:12:42.528
Squeeze and lift,
squeeze and lift.

00:12:42.528 --> 00:12:45.298
Try to touch your right 
heel to your right glute.

00:12:45.298 --> 00:12:48.134
Excellent. Then send it back,
Downward Facing Dog.

00:12:48.134 --> 00:12:49.502
We're going right 
into the other side.

00:12:49.502 --> 00:12:50.570
Anchor the right heel down.

00:12:50.570 --> 00:12:51.871
Inhale. Lift the 
left leg up high.

00:12:51.871 --> 00:12:53.006
Claw through your fingertips

00:12:53.006 --> 00:12:54.607
to take pressure 
out of the wrists.

00:12:54.607 --> 00:12:56.142
Exhale. Draw it in.

00:12:56.142 --> 00:12:58.144
Squeeze, knee to nose.

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:01.147
Great. Inhale, kick it out.

00:13:02.215 --> 00:13:04.117
Exhale, cross it 
over nice and slow.

00:13:04.117 --> 00:13:06.986
See how slow you can move here,
slow and steady.

00:13:08.655 --> 00:13:10.526
Beautiful.
Inhale, kick it out.

00:13:10.526 --> 00:13:12.291
Claw through the fingertips.

00:13:12.291 --> 00:13:14.193
Now left knee to left elbow.

00:13:14.193 --> 00:13:18.210
Take it nice and slow, 
shoulders over the wrists.

00:13:19.666 --> 00:13:21.467
Excellent. Kick it out.

00:13:21.467 --> 00:13:24.303
Here we go, last one, 
squeezing that left knee

00:13:24.303 --> 00:13:26.906
all the way up and in,
breathing deep.

00:13:26.906 --> 00:13:29.409
Try to touch your left 
heel to your left glute,

00:13:29.409 --> 00:13:32.645
squeezing it up, 
up, up, defying gravity.

00:13:32.645 --> 00:13:34.947
Excellent. Then 
Downward Facing Dog.

00:13:34.947 --> 00:13:38.284
Take an inhale in here,
and as you exhale,

00:13:38.284 --> 00:13:39.686
go ahead and breathe 
out through your mouth,

00:13:39.686 --> 00:13:42.088
pressing into the 
index finger and thumb.

00:13:43.423 --> 00:13:46.592
Awesome. From here, 
slowly lower the knees.

00:13:46.592 --> 00:13:48.594
Come to sit back on your heels.

00:13:50.763 --> 00:13:51.731
Nice and easy.

00:13:51.731 --> 00:13:53.466
Just take the fingertips forward

00:13:53.466 --> 00:13:55.501
and then drop them 
down to the ground.

00:13:55.501 --> 00:13:56.582
Ahh.

00:13:59.939 --> 00:14:01.559
Zombie arms.

00:14:05.611 --> 00:14:07.847
(snaps)

00:14:07.847 --> 00:14:09.449
And then you can take some fists

00:14:09.449 --> 00:14:12.185
and take a 
couple of wrist circles.

00:14:15.855 --> 00:14:18.213
Alright, last beat.
Let's do it.

00:14:18.213 --> 00:14:19.864
Coming back to our Plank.
You got this.

00:14:19.864 --> 00:14:21.494
Do not stop this video.

00:14:21.494 --> 00:14:22.862
Do not press pause.

00:14:22.862 --> 00:14:24.263
Do not pass go.

00:14:24.263 --> 00:14:26.332
Do not collect $200.

00:14:26.332 --> 00:14:27.734
Here we go. We got this.

00:14:29.402 --> 00:14:31.204
So it's not really even about

00:14:31.204 --> 00:14:33.606
the side planks we're 
about to do, wink, wink.

00:14:33.606 --> 00:14:36.075
It's about following through.

00:14:36.075 --> 00:14:37.949
You carved out this 
time for yourself. Let's do it.

00:14:37.949 --> 00:14:39.946
And I'll give you a 
couple options to modify,

00:14:39.946 --> 00:14:42.301
so you can find what feels good.
Here we go.

00:14:42.301 --> 00:14:44.584
From the Plank, 
we're gonna slowly

00:14:45.918 --> 00:14:48.994
turn onto the outer 
edge of the right foot.

00:14:49.822 --> 00:14:53.893
First, first, bus stop.

00:14:53.893 --> 00:14:55.495
Bring the top leg up and over

00:14:55.495 --> 00:14:58.131
so you create a strong
foundation, a little kickstand,

00:14:58.131 --> 00:15:00.032
so that you can 
press away from the earth

00:15:00.032 --> 00:15:00.967
with your right hand

00:15:00.967 --> 00:15:04.570
and slowly take the 
left fingertips to the sky.

00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:06.038
Option one.

00:15:06.038 --> 00:15:07.673
Option two: stack the feet.

00:15:08.908 --> 00:15:10.710
Option three: lift the top leg.

00:15:12.812 --> 00:15:13.880
Connect to your center.

00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:16.516
Hug the lower ribs in,
breathing deep.

00:15:16.516 --> 00:15:18.684
Find a variation 
here that feels awesome.

00:15:18.684 --> 00:15:22.688
Maybe it's a 
tree side Plank today.

00:15:26.192 --> 00:15:27.994
Breathing, breathing, breathing.

00:15:29.162 --> 00:15:30.730
On your last 
cycle of breath here,

00:15:30.730 --> 00:15:33.866
lift the hips little higher,
you got this.

00:15:33.866 --> 00:15:36.302
And then exhale the 
come back to center.

00:15:36.302 --> 00:15:38.171
Take a break with the 
knees down if you need to.

00:15:38.171 --> 00:15:39.472
Otherwise, going right in.

00:15:39.472 --> 00:15:41.713
This is the last bit.
Here we go.

00:15:41.713 --> 00:15:44.210
Stacking the feet, 
creating a kickstand

00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:46.078
by bringing the 
right foot to the ground.

00:15:46.078 --> 00:15:47.613
Everyone, lift 
your hips up high.

00:15:47.613 --> 00:15:50.650
Spiral your heart 
up towards the sky.

00:15:50.650 --> 00:15:52.885
You have everything 
you need to play here.

00:15:53.920 --> 00:15:56.856
Breathing deep, 
just find your version

00:15:56.856 --> 00:16:00.293
of the shape today, and 
then remember your breath.

00:16:01.727 --> 00:16:03.863
Lift the hips up high.

00:16:03.863 --> 00:16:05.131
You got this.

00:16:05.131 --> 00:16:06.399
Have fun.

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.067
Be kind to yourself.

00:16:08.067 --> 00:16:10.169
Take one more 
breath to spiral your heart

00:16:10.169 --> 00:16:12.205
and lift your 
hips up a little higher

00:16:12.205 --> 00:16:15.308
and then use the exhale to
come all the way back down.

00:16:15.308 --> 00:16:16.309
Alright, check it out.

00:16:16.309 --> 00:16:18.845
Inhale the shift forward,
exhale the lower halfway,

00:16:18.845 --> 00:16:20.046
halfway, halfway.

00:16:20.046 --> 00:16:21.447
Inhale the lift up.

00:16:21.447 --> 00:16:23.950
Exhale the lower halfway,
halfway, halfway.

00:16:23.950 --> 00:16:24.784
Inhale the lift up.

00:16:24.784 --> 00:16:26.652
Feel free to lower 
the knees if you need to.

00:16:26.652 --> 00:16:28.321
Last one, exhale lower halfway.

00:16:28.321 --> 00:16:29.555
Keep those elbows hugging in.

00:16:29.555 --> 00:16:31.757
Draw your navel 
up towards the spine.

00:16:31.757 --> 00:16:34.227
And then slowly 
release everything down.

00:16:35.127 --> 00:16:38.764
Take a deep breath in,
a long breath out.

00:16:38.764 --> 00:16:40.666
Drag the fingertips off the mat.

00:16:41.667 --> 00:16:43.736
Lift up through 
the center of the palm.

00:16:43.736 --> 00:16:44.704
Inhale.

00:16:44.704 --> 00:16:47.740
Cobra or a little modified 
Cobra here as you inhale.

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:49.027
Smile just a bit.

00:16:51.010 --> 00:16:53.579
And then exhale to 
release everything.

00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:54.947
Press up to all fours.

00:16:54.947 --> 00:16:57.516
Walk the knees in 
together really together.

00:16:57.516 --> 00:17:00.386
Child's Pose, yay.

00:17:00.386 --> 00:17:01.787
Forehead comes to the earth.

00:17:02.822 --> 00:17:04.957
If Child's Pose 
is not right for you,

00:17:04.957 --> 00:17:06.559
just come into a nice,
comfortable seat

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.179
and take three

00:17:09.749 --> 00:17:13.424
long, beautiful,
centering breaths.

00:17:15.067 --> 00:17:17.403
(breathing)

00:17:32.225 --> 00:17:36.640
After three breaths, 
slowly begin to rise up.

00:17:39.592 --> 00:17:41.294
Bring the palms together.

00:17:43.195 --> 00:17:47.967
Let them gently come 
together at your heart.

00:17:51.570 --> 00:17:55.575
So you can repeat this video
if you want a little more

00:17:55.575 --> 00:17:58.577
or maybe it is 
inspiring for you

00:17:58.577 --> 00:18:00.246
to maybe try another video.

00:18:00.246 --> 00:18:03.783
I will link to some 
videos that I suggest

00:18:03.783 --> 00:18:06.082
might go well with this

00:18:06.082 --> 00:18:09.177
reuniting with your core practice.

00:18:10.823 --> 00:18:13.693
And as always, 
subscribe to the YouTube channel

00:18:13.693 --> 00:18:14.560
if you haven't already.

00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:17.063
That's the best 
way to support YWA.
