WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.005
(upbeat music)

00:00:09.843 --> 00:00:11.979
- Hello and welcome 
to Yoga with Adriene.

00:00:11.979 --> 00:00:14.781
I'm Adriene and this is Benji.

00:00:14.781 --> 00:00:20.287
And today we have an awesome
little yoga for when you wake up

00:00:20.287 --> 00:00:22.823
or when you need 
a little wake up.

00:00:22.823 --> 00:00:25.559
So let's begin right away.

00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.495
Starting in a 
nice comfortable seat.

00:00:28.495 --> 00:00:30.230
As soon as you get there,

00:00:30.230 --> 00:00:32.766
start to lift the corners of
your mouth, just gently

00:00:32.766 --> 00:00:34.167
and we're going to 
reach the fingertips

00:00:34.167 --> 00:00:36.136
all the way up towards the sky

00:00:36.136 --> 00:00:39.772
as we invite a big 
beautiful stretch

00:00:39.774 --> 00:00:42.429
and a big beautiful breath 
in through the nose.

00:00:43.883 --> 00:00:46.747
And then as you exhale, 
gentle twists to your left.

00:00:46.747 --> 00:00:49.149
Right hand comes 
to the left knee,

00:00:49.149 --> 00:00:51.952
left fingertips can come behind
and you want to be careful not

00:00:51.952 --> 00:00:56.823
to push or force here but keep
it nice and easy as we begin to

00:00:56.823 --> 00:01:01.428
deepen the breath 
and wake up the spine.

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.540
And keep the shoulders relaxed
as you bring it back to center.

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:17.110
Once again, big inhale 
as you reach for the sky.

00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:19.379
Spread the fingertips.

00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:22.115
Find a nice big 
stretch through the front body,

00:01:22.115 --> 00:01:26.820
the back body and the 
sides of your body here.

00:01:26.820 --> 00:01:29.331
Reaching up to breathe in.

00:01:29.331 --> 00:01:32.993
And then exhale, 
twisting as you breathe out.

00:01:32.993 --> 00:01:34.494
Nice and easy here.

00:01:34.494 --> 00:01:36.908
No pushing, no forcing.

00:01:47.808 --> 00:01:50.877
Great, take a deep breath in.

00:01:50.877 --> 00:01:53.313
Slowly unravel as 
you breathe out

00:01:53.313 --> 00:01:55.946
and we're going to come
forward onto all fours.

00:01:59.252 --> 00:02:03.123
Nice and easy, 
spread the fingertips wide.

00:02:03.123 --> 00:02:07.361
Find a nice neutral spine here
to start, Tabletop Position.

00:02:09.830 --> 00:02:12.899
Then when you're ready,
inhale, drop the belly,

00:02:12.899 --> 00:02:16.103
open your heart, your chest,
forward as you claw through the

00:02:16.103 --> 00:02:19.185
fingertips and press 
into the tops of the feet.

00:02:19.185 --> 00:02:21.775
And then exhale, round 
through the spine again.

00:02:21.775 --> 00:02:26.580
Continuing to wake up 
the body, the spine.

00:02:27.684 --> 00:02:31.404
Then moving with your breath
inhale to drop the belly again.

00:02:33.220 --> 00:02:38.321
And exhale to round the spine,
navel draws up.

00:02:40.588 --> 00:02:42.162
One more time, inhale.

00:02:42.162 --> 00:02:44.631
Feel the skin of 
the front body stretch.

00:02:46.733 --> 00:02:51.334
And then as you exhale, feel
the skin of back body stretch.

00:02:54.508 --> 00:02:58.178
Awesome, inhale back
to that nice, neutral spine.

00:02:58.178 --> 00:03:00.280
You're gonna 
curl the toes under.

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.916
Inhale in with a 
soft bend in your elbows,

00:03:02.916 --> 00:03:04.885
press away from your yoga mat

00:03:04.885 --> 00:03:08.255
and lift your 
kneecaps up for three.

00:03:08.255 --> 00:03:10.146
Lift 'em up for two.

00:03:10.146 --> 00:03:12.505
And lift them up for one.

00:03:12.505 --> 00:03:14.067
And then release.

00:03:14.067 --> 00:03:17.230
Bring the big toes together,
knees as wide as the mat.

00:03:17.230 --> 00:03:20.667
Send your hips back, reach your
fingertips forward towards the

00:03:20.667 --> 00:03:24.805
front edge of your mat or
towards your dog's paws and then

00:03:24.805 --> 00:03:28.608
melt your heart down, 
Extended Child's Pose.

00:03:28.608 --> 00:03:31.111
Try to keep nice 
active arms here

00:03:31.111 --> 00:03:34.247
as you bring your forehand 
down towards the mat.

00:03:34.247 --> 00:03:36.316
Gently opening up 
through the shoulders,

00:03:36.316 --> 00:03:38.618
the chest, 
the back body, the hips.

00:03:42.422 --> 00:03:44.094
Close your eyes.

00:03:44.094 --> 00:03:47.260
If you're practicing 
first thing in the morning,

00:03:47.260 --> 00:03:50.911
perhaps use this moment to
set an intention for your day.

00:03:57.626 --> 00:04:00.107
Then find soft, easy 
movement as you sway

00:04:00.107 --> 00:04:02.576
the shoulders gently 
back and forth.

00:04:02.576 --> 00:04:06.229
Maybe massaging the forehead

00:04:06.229 --> 00:04:09.015
as you tilt the 
head left to right.

00:04:10.958 --> 00:04:12.853
And then bring 
it back to center,

00:04:12.853 --> 00:04:14.754
press into the tops of the feet.

00:04:14.754 --> 00:04:16.223
Move from 
your center, your core,

00:04:16.223 --> 00:04:19.793
as you come all the 
way back up to all fours.

00:04:19.793 --> 00:04:22.481
Then when you're 
ready curl the toes under,

00:04:22.481 --> 00:04:25.298
nice, steady 
placement of the hands.

00:04:25.298 --> 00:04:27.768
So strong connection 
of the hand to earth

00:04:27.768 --> 00:04:30.403
and when you're ready 
lift the hips up high.

00:04:30.403 --> 00:04:32.405
Keep the knees bent 
and melt your heart

00:04:32.405 --> 00:04:34.407
back into Downward Facing Dog.

00:04:36.943 --> 00:04:38.879
Take a second 
here to really find,

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.949
just reinforce that 
connection in the hands,

00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:44.951
fingertips, knuckles.

00:04:46.987 --> 00:04:51.091
Biceps hug in towards your
ears as you begin to pedal out

00:04:51.091 --> 00:04:54.566
through the feet, the legs.

00:04:54.566 --> 00:04:58.695
Feeling that full bottle body,
not full bottle. (laughs)

00:04:58.695 --> 00:05:02.918
Hello, wake up!
Full body stretch.

00:05:06.173 --> 00:05:10.110
Then on your next inhale, ground
down through the left heel as

00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:11.878
you lift the right leg up high.

00:05:11.878 --> 00:05:14.781
And you can imagine sliding your
right leg up against a wall.

00:05:14.781 --> 00:05:19.152
So dial your right toes down,
keep the hips leveled.

00:05:19.152 --> 00:05:21.859
Then take one more 
deep breath in here

00:05:21.859 --> 00:05:23.490
and as you exhale,
bend your right knee.

00:05:23.490 --> 00:05:24.758
Bring it all the way up and

00:05:24.758 --> 00:05:27.093
through towards 
your chest or your heart.

00:05:27.093 --> 00:05:29.634
Squeeze and lift here just 
creating a little heat.

00:05:29.634 --> 00:05:31.598
You're here for three, two,

00:05:31.598 --> 00:05:34.167
try to touch your right 
heel to your right glute.

00:05:34.167 --> 00:05:35.835
And then step it all the way up

00:05:35.835 --> 00:05:38.438
and lower the back 
knee to the ground.

00:05:38.438 --> 00:05:41.341
Keep your front knee over your
front ankle here as you squeeze

00:05:41.341 --> 00:05:44.578
the inner thighs in towards the
midline and on your next begin

00:05:44.578 --> 00:05:47.547
inhale, sweep the fingertips
forward, up and back.

00:05:47.547 --> 00:05:50.817
You can keep the back toes
curled under or you can press

00:05:50.817 --> 00:05:53.520
into the tops of the, 
top of your back foot,

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:54.588
Yogi's choice here.

00:05:54.588 --> 00:05:58.191
Find a connection as 
you lift the heart up high.

00:05:58.191 --> 00:06:02.662
Inhale in, reach the fingertips,
wrists all the way up and back.

00:06:02.662 --> 00:06:05.865
And then exhale, paint a wall, 
press your palms forward,

00:06:05.865 --> 00:06:09.569
paint an imaginary wall all the
way down and then continue to

00:06:09.569 --> 00:06:13.306
paint your mat as you 
pull the right hip crease back,

00:06:13.306 --> 00:06:14.674
sending the hips back.

00:06:14.674 --> 00:06:17.978
Left hip point 
over the left knee.

00:06:17.978 --> 00:06:21.715
Flex your right toes towards
your face or your third eye,

00:06:21.715 --> 00:06:23.082
inhale in.

00:06:23.082 --> 00:06:26.920
Exhale, draw your 
chin to your chest.

00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.221
Great, dig into the right heel.

00:06:28.221 --> 00:06:30.790
Inhale, come all 
the way forward.

00:06:30.790 --> 00:06:34.294
From here you're gonna take your
left toes and gently swing them

00:06:34.294 --> 00:06:36.701
over towards the 
right side of your mat.

00:06:38.131 --> 00:06:40.500
Then press into the 
earth with your feet,

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:43.870
your foundation as you
slowly reach the left fingertips

00:06:43.870 --> 00:06:48.308
forward, up and around and back
coming into a half Warrior here.

00:06:50.310 --> 00:06:53.446
Pull the pinkies back,
lift your chest.

00:06:53.446 --> 00:06:57.506
Right thigh bone's pulling in
just like in regular Warrior II.

00:06:57.506 --> 00:07:01.203
We find this lift up the front,
this grounding through the back.

00:07:01.203 --> 00:07:03.189
Inhale in.

00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:06.259
Exhale, take the left 
fingertips down to the ground.

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:08.662
Right fingertips 
reach up and over.

00:07:08.662 --> 00:07:11.231
We're gonna turn the right toes
in towards the center of your

00:07:11.231 --> 00:07:14.888
mat as you reach back,
Gate variation.

00:07:15.989 --> 00:07:18.004
Inhale in here.

00:07:18.004 --> 00:07:22.104
Exhale, slowly bring the right
fingertips to the earth and

00:07:22.104 --> 00:07:24.711
you're going to, nice and easy,
use your fingertips to walk it

00:07:24.711 --> 00:07:27.981
all the way back to 
your nice low lunge.

00:07:27.981 --> 00:07:30.417
You'll frame the 
right foot with your hands.

00:07:30.417 --> 00:07:32.552
Inhale to look forward.

00:07:32.552 --> 00:07:34.954
And exhale to plant the palms

00:07:34.954 --> 00:07:37.457
and step it back 
to Plank or Half Plank.

00:07:37.457 --> 00:07:39.993
So knees lowered or lifted.

00:07:39.993 --> 00:07:42.457
Take a deep breath in.

00:07:42.457 --> 00:07:46.499
Exhale, hips up high and back,
Downward Facing Dog.

00:07:46.499 --> 00:07:49.192
Waking the body up with love,

00:07:49.192 --> 00:07:51.889
with a mindfulness of breath

00:07:51.889 --> 00:07:54.710
and soft, easy movement.

00:07:57.377 --> 00:07:59.548
Alright, second side.
Anchor through the right heel.

00:07:59.548 --> 00:08:03.783
When you're ready, slide the
left leg up your imaginary wall.

00:08:03.783 --> 00:08:05.618
Keep the hips leveled here.

00:08:05.618 --> 00:08:08.793
Stay rooted through the hands.
Take a deep breath in.

00:08:10.411 --> 00:08:11.624
And when you're ready, exhale,

00:08:11.624 --> 00:08:13.293
bend the left knee, 
shift it forward.

00:08:13.293 --> 00:08:16.196
Hug it all the way up
towards the heart, the chest.

00:08:16.196 --> 00:08:20.133
Try to touch your left heel
to your left glute for three,

00:08:20.133 --> 00:08:22.665
two. Press away 
from your yoga mat.

00:08:22.667 --> 00:08:24.671
And step it all 
the way up on the one.

00:08:24.671 --> 00:08:26.740
Lower the back knee.

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:28.375
Squeeze the inner 
thighs to the midline.

00:08:28.375 --> 00:08:31.144
Find your foundation, you're
alignment and when you're ready

00:08:31.144 --> 00:08:34.847
sweep the fingertips 
forward, up and back.

00:08:34.847 --> 00:08:37.517
Breathing when you land here.

00:08:37.517 --> 00:08:38.784
Finding that stretch.

00:08:38.784 --> 00:08:43.056
Lifting out of the waist,
fully present with the breath.

00:08:43.056 --> 00:08:44.524
Inhale in.

00:08:44.524 --> 00:08:46.760
Exhale, paint your wall.

00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:49.863
Palms press forward 
and then down to the ground

00:08:49.863 --> 00:08:51.598
as we pull it all the way back.

00:08:51.598 --> 00:08:53.266
Nice runner's lunge.

00:08:53.266 --> 00:08:55.268
Keep the right hip 
over the left knee.

00:08:55.268 --> 00:08:58.204
Excuse me, (chuckles) right
hip over the right knee and then

00:08:58.204 --> 00:09:00.140
keep pulling your 
left hip crease back.

00:09:02.776 --> 00:09:05.845
Flex your left toes 
actively towards your face.

00:09:05.845 --> 00:09:07.740
Inhale in here.

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:10.183
And exhale, tuck the 
chin into your chest.

00:09:10.183 --> 00:09:12.185
A little reverent bow.

00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:17.390
Woo! Awesome, rolling
through your left foot.

00:09:17.390 --> 00:09:18.792
Bring it back to your lunge.

00:09:18.792 --> 00:09:20.427
Front knee over front ankle.

00:09:20.427 --> 00:09:22.395
We'll swing the right toes now

00:09:22.395 --> 00:09:24.464
over toward the 
left side of your mat.

00:09:24.464 --> 00:09:27.600
Make sure you really press
firmly into your foundation here

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.171
and connect to your core, 
your center as you rise up.

00:09:31.171 --> 00:09:33.673
Right fingertips reach all the
way forward, up and back.

00:09:33.673 --> 00:09:35.341
Half Warrior.

00:09:35.341 --> 00:09:38.271
Pull the pinkies back,
lift your chest.

00:09:38.271 --> 00:09:40.354
Breathing deep here.

00:09:44.617 --> 00:09:46.986
Nice and then take the right
fingertips all the way down,

00:09:46.986 --> 00:09:48.588
left fingertips all the way up.

00:09:48.588 --> 00:09:51.991
When you reach the earth, you're 
gonna turn the left toes in

00:09:53.124 --> 00:09:57.730
and find an expression here 
in your Gate Pose variation.

00:09:57.730 --> 00:10:01.901
So use your 
breath here to explore.

00:10:01.901 --> 00:10:03.269
Should feel really, really good.

00:10:03.269 --> 00:10:05.905
And then when you're ready,
bring the left fingertips to the

00:10:05.905 --> 00:10:10.264
ground, use your hands,
that hand-to-earth connection,

00:10:10.264 --> 00:10:13.480
that grounding to 
come all the way back.

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.248
You'll frame the left foot.

00:10:15.248 --> 00:10:17.342
Take a deep breath in.

00:10:17.342 --> 00:10:20.539
And exhale to release, 
palms come to the earth.

00:10:20.539 --> 00:10:23.617
We're gonna come to 
Half Plank or full Plank which

00:10:23.617 --> 00:10:25.258
is where we're gonna end today.

00:10:25.258 --> 00:10:28.695
So find length in the spine.

00:10:28.695 --> 00:10:31.177
Breathe deep here.
Press away from your yoga mat.

00:10:31.177 --> 00:10:33.433
Send your shoulder 
blades left to right.

00:10:33.433 --> 00:10:36.736
We're here for three,
breathe deep.

00:10:36.736 --> 00:10:39.953
Two, soften the 
skin of the face.

00:10:39.953 --> 00:10:44.410
And on the one, slowly 
bring the knees to the earth.

00:10:44.410 --> 00:10:47.262
Come into a nice 
comfortable seat of your choice.

00:10:49.549 --> 00:10:52.552
Lift the corners of 
the mouth once again.

00:10:52.552 --> 00:10:55.154
Bring the palms together, 
close your eyes

00:10:55.154 --> 00:10:58.458
and take a deep breath in.

00:10:58.458 --> 00:11:00.960
Exhale to relax the shoulders.

00:11:05.462 --> 00:11:06.132
And when you're ready

00:11:06.132 --> 00:11:10.176
we'll bow the head to 
the heart and whisper,

00:11:10.968 --> 00:11:12.747
Namaste.

00:11:12.747 --> 00:11:17.850
(upbeat music)
