00:00:00.267 --> 00:00:01.835
- Happy New Year, everyone.

00:00:01.835 --> 00:00:03.837
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:03.837 --> 00:00:07.441
I'm Adriene and it's 2013.

00:00:07.441 --> 00:00:08.675
Can you believe it?

00:00:08.675 --> 00:00:10.544
2012 was a great year.

00:00:10.544 --> 00:00:12.246
It was a little bit of a doozy,

00:00:12.246 --> 00:00:14.414
but I learned a lot,
fell in love,

00:00:14.414 --> 00:00:16.149
got to make an awesome movie

00:00:16.149 --> 00:00:19.820
and we started this project,
Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:20.678
I'm thrilled.

00:00:20.678 --> 00:00:23.210
I'm so humbled and 
grateful to be back with you.

00:00:23.210 --> 00:00:26.226
And we have some

00:00:26.226 --> 00:00:28.595
goodies for you, 2013.

00:00:28.595 --> 00:00:30.961
Last year, last semester

00:00:30.961 --> 00:00:33.066
we focused on the 
foundations of yoga,

00:00:33.066 --> 00:00:35.202
building things 
from the ground up.

00:00:35.202 --> 00:00:37.537
Trying to welcome 
people who are new to yoga

00:00:37.537 --> 00:00:40.707
and welcome people 
who maybe haven't been

00:00:40.707 --> 00:00:43.100
on the mat in a while 
back to their practice.

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:46.480
OK, so what you 
can expect in 2013.

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:48.215
Longer sequences.

00:00:48.215 --> 00:00:50.350
So even if you 
don't have a lot of time,

00:00:50.350 --> 00:00:53.320
we're going to extend the 
practices just a little bit

00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.057
with a more specific 
focus on weight loss,

00:00:57.057 --> 00:01:00.093
speeding up our metabolisms,
stress relief.

00:01:00.093 --> 00:01:02.496
I also want to 
offer practices that

00:01:02.496 --> 00:01:05.565
just invite you to 
go on a little journey.

00:01:05.565 --> 00:01:07.568
Sometimes it's nice 
to have a little guide

00:01:07.568 --> 00:01:10.203
so you can put the video on,
hop on your mat,

00:01:10.203 --> 00:01:12.105
and we can go 
through a little vinyasa,

00:01:12.105 --> 00:01:14.374
or a little flow together.

00:01:14.374 --> 00:01:16.910
I want to focus on, in 
the early part of the year,

00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:21.048
poses that inspire 
and create space.

00:01:21.048 --> 00:01:23.183
More potential.

00:01:23.183 --> 00:01:25.852
So in addition to the 
fitness-related things

00:01:25.852 --> 00:01:28.588
that we all are kind of 
thinking about right now

00:01:28.588 --> 00:01:30.424
at the top of the year,

00:01:30.424 --> 00:01:34.328
I also want to offer poses
that inspire and create space,

00:01:34.328 --> 00:01:36.640
build potential, confidence,

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.599
and the list goes on.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.868
At this time of year, 
we're setting our intentions

00:01:41.868 --> 00:01:45.906
for a life, an existence,
that serves us.

00:01:45.906 --> 00:01:48.252
And the awesome thing about yoga

00:01:48.252 --> 00:01:51.478
is that every time 
we come on the mat

00:01:51.478 --> 00:01:54.147
we have an opportunity 
to set a positive intention,

00:01:54.147 --> 00:01:55.882
to set an 
intention for ourselves.

00:01:55.882 --> 00:01:57.584
And yoga's awesome,
because sometimes

00:01:57.584 --> 00:02:00.153
we don't fee like 
setting intentions. (chuckles)

00:02:00.153 --> 00:02:01.555
We're just like, meh,
it's much easier

00:02:01.555 --> 00:02:03.623
to just let it go, give up.

00:02:03.623 --> 00:02:05.298
But when we come to the mat,
even if the practice is

00:02:05.298 --> 00:02:06.994
five minutes, two minutes,

00:02:06.994 --> 00:02:08.502
a one minute yoga practice,

00:02:08.502 --> 00:02:11.031
just a couple 
deep breaths in an out,

00:02:11.031 --> 00:02:14.835
or a 20-minute yoga 
for weight loss series,

00:02:14.835 --> 00:02:18.372
we have an 
opportunity to set an intention.

00:02:18.372 --> 00:02:19.673
And the power of word,

00:02:19.673 --> 00:02:22.175
the power of 
thought goes a long way.

00:02:22.175 --> 00:02:24.811
So I invite you to 
hop on the mat with me,

00:02:24.811 --> 00:02:26.680
subscribe to the channel.

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.349
If you're returning to the
practice or if you're beginner,

00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:32.366
just know that the beginning 
stages are the hardest.

00:02:32.366 --> 00:02:33.290
So here at the top of the year,

00:02:33.290 --> 00:02:36.289
we can come together,
band of brothers,

00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:39.426
and inspire each other,
encourage each other

00:02:39.426 --> 00:02:41.828
to get on the mat,
set our intentions

00:02:41.828 --> 00:02:44.564
and find what feels good.

00:02:44.564 --> 00:02:49.569
(upbeat music)
