00:00:00.534 --> 00:00:02.669
- What's up everyone? 
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.669 --> 00:00:04.471
I'm Adriene and today 
we have an awesome

00:00:04.471 --> 00:00:06.406
yoga for change and drain.

00:00:06.406 --> 00:00:08.809
So this practice is 
gonna be really great if you're

00:00:08.809 --> 00:00:10.811
experiencing some sort of change

00:00:10.811 --> 00:00:12.746
and it's 
manifesting in the body.

00:00:12.746 --> 00:00:13.714
This is what happens.

00:00:13.714 --> 00:00:18.819
Our body is incredibly smart and
whether it's just a change in

00:00:18.819 --> 00:00:21.889
schedule or something a 
little bigger in your life,

00:00:21.889 --> 00:00:25.759
change that might be affecting
the way you're moving or just

00:00:25.759 --> 00:00:30.063
your energy level this yoga
practice is here to support you.

00:00:30.063 --> 00:00:33.400
So hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:38.405
(gentle music)

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:48.215
Okay pals, welcome.

00:00:48.215 --> 00:00:51.818
Let's begin in a 
nice cross-legged seat.

00:00:51.818 --> 00:00:53.687
Come on down to the ground.

00:00:53.687 --> 00:00:56.890
Move the fleshy part 
of the buttocks aside.

00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:59.893
Whatever it is you're 
coming to the mat with today

00:00:59.893 --> 00:01:00.827
just come with it fully.

00:01:00.827 --> 00:01:02.796
If you're just in 
need of a little movement,

00:01:02.796 --> 00:01:05.132
a little stimulus or 
if you're totally drained,

00:01:05.132 --> 00:01:08.257
totally tired let's see 
if we can investigate

00:01:08.257 --> 00:01:11.204
and allow the

00:01:11.204 --> 00:01:15.008
power tools of yoga and 
pranayama to move us in a

00:01:15.008 --> 00:01:18.345
direction where we feel good.

00:01:20.881 --> 00:01:22.979
Sit up nice and tall.

00:01:22.979 --> 00:01:24.851
And we're going to 
begin with the hands together,

00:01:24.851 --> 00:01:26.286
Anjuli Mudra at the heart.

00:01:26.286 --> 00:01:29.723
So just take your 
time getting there.

00:01:29.723 --> 00:01:31.558
And just keep the 
elbows soft here for now.

00:01:31.558 --> 00:01:32.526
Let's ease in.

00:01:32.526 --> 00:01:37.931
Just kind of allowing, again,
ourself to come as we are,

00:01:37.931 --> 00:01:40.067
show up with whatever 
we have even if it's very,

00:01:40.067 --> 00:01:43.870
very little energy.
I got your back.

00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:46.702
Close your eyes.

00:01:46.702 --> 00:01:48.875
Make a wish, just kidding.

00:01:48.875 --> 00:01:52.930
Close your eyes and just allow

00:01:54.748 --> 00:01:59.050
your mind and body to
land here in the moment.

00:02:02.122 --> 00:02:07.127
And when you're ready, gently
draw the chin to the chest,

00:02:07.127 --> 00:02:08.829
bow your head toward your heart.

00:02:08.829 --> 00:02:13.100
Just feel that nice release in
the back of the neck, the traps.

00:02:16.962 --> 00:02:18.505
And make a commitment to stick

00:02:18.505 --> 00:02:20.807
with your practice 
here to the end.

00:02:20.807 --> 00:02:22.809
See what happens.

00:02:24.478 --> 00:02:27.831
Hardest part is showing up

00:02:27.831 --> 00:02:30.373
and you've done that 
so let's rock and roll.

00:02:30.373 --> 00:02:33.054
Here we go. Open the eyes, 
take a deep breath in,

00:02:33.054 --> 00:02:35.589
begin to lift the 
chin parallel to the earth.

00:02:35.589 --> 00:02:37.724
Fingertips are gonna 
come down to the ground.

00:02:37.724 --> 00:02:39.860
We're gonna start by opening
up the chest a little bit.

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:43.130
You're going to 
walk the fingertips back

00:02:43.130 --> 00:02:44.131
as far as you can go.

00:02:44.131 --> 00:02:45.766
And this is a 
great just check into.

00:02:45.766 --> 00:02:47.717
Like if you only 
make it here, great.

00:02:47.717 --> 00:02:49.703
Then we'll just know okay, 
I need to open up through

00:02:49.703 --> 00:02:52.672
the pecs and the chest 
in weeks to come.

00:02:52.672 --> 00:02:56.843
In time you can 
work the fingertips back.

00:02:56.843 --> 00:02:59.813
We'll just start with 
a gentle heart opener.

00:03:03.316 --> 00:03:05.352
Lifting up through 
the armpit chest.

00:03:05.352 --> 00:03:07.270
Lifting up through the sternum.

00:03:08.446 --> 00:03:11.958
You're gonna get a little
lymph massage movement today

00:03:11.958 --> 00:03:13.193
so breathe deep.

00:03:13.193 --> 00:03:14.795
Let's make the most of 
our time here together.

00:03:14.795 --> 00:03:16.096
Take a deep breath in.

00:03:16.096 --> 00:03:17.697
Send your gaze 
up towards the sky.

00:03:17.697 --> 00:03:20.100
We're not crunching in 
the back of the neck at all.

00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:22.792
We're just carving a line 
with the nose up towards

00:03:22.792 --> 00:03:25.038
the ceiling or the clouds.

00:03:25.038 --> 00:03:27.507
And then on an exhale
draw your navel in

00:03:27.507 --> 00:03:28.875
and draw your 
chin to your chest.

00:03:28.875 --> 00:03:32.112
Press into your 
fingertips wherever they are.

00:03:32.112 --> 00:03:35.133
Inhale, sliding the 
nose all the way up.

00:03:37.117 --> 00:03:40.454
And exhale, drawing 
the chin all the way down.

00:03:42.689 --> 00:03:46.059
So try to find some nuances
here as you maybe press into the

00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:49.096
pinky as you lift the nose up.

00:03:51.398 --> 00:03:56.436
And ground through the thumbs
as you draw the chin down.

00:03:56.436 --> 00:03:57.671
Do one more on your own.

00:03:57.671 --> 00:03:59.132
Find your breath.

00:04:01.273 --> 00:04:03.894
And chin to chest.

00:04:04.911 --> 00:04:05.812
Fabulous.

00:04:05.812 --> 00:04:07.481
Slowly release the hands.

00:04:07.481 --> 00:04:09.996
Right arm's gonna 
go over the left here.

00:04:09.996 --> 00:04:11.408
Give yourself a big hug.

00:04:11.408 --> 00:04:14.121
You're gonna really try to inch
your fingertips in towards the

00:04:14.121 --> 00:04:17.124
center of your back body
and again just use this as a

00:04:17.124 --> 00:04:18.591
opportunity to check in.

00:04:18.591 --> 00:04:21.053
Maybe the upper 
back's pretty tight.

00:04:21.053 --> 00:04:23.335
And if so, you're not alone.

00:04:24.364 --> 00:04:26.600
Inhale in, lift the chin.

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.171
Exhale. Chin to chest.
Keep the hands where they are.

00:04:29.171 --> 00:04:30.737
So same movement as before.

00:04:30.737 --> 00:04:32.606
Inhale, lift the heart.

00:04:32.606 --> 00:04:35.040
Think Cat-Cow here.
So this is the Cow Pose.

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.079
Belly nice and long and 
then exhale chin to chest.

00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.948
Contact through 
the front body, back body,

00:04:41.948 --> 00:04:44.117
spine nice and long.

00:04:44.117 --> 00:04:45.528
Great, do one more, inhale.

00:04:47.075 --> 00:04:49.805
And exhale, chin to chest.

00:04:52.392 --> 00:04:54.336
Awesome, release.
Send the fingertips out.

00:04:54.336 --> 00:04:58.031
You're just gonna go to the
opposite side but this time

00:04:58.031 --> 00:05:00.000
instead of a hug 
we're gonna to Eagle Arms,

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.668
left arm on top.

00:05:01.668 --> 00:05:04.838
Inhale to reach the elbows up.

00:05:04.838 --> 00:05:06.339
Exhale, chin to chest.

00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:10.777
We're stretching all around the
shoulder girdle as we inhale,

00:05:10.777 --> 00:05:13.580
lift the elbows up.

00:05:13.580 --> 00:05:16.873
Long Puppy Belly
and then exhale, contract.

00:05:16.873 --> 00:05:19.247
Navel in.

00:05:19.247 --> 00:05:21.922
Do one more on your own.

00:05:23.376 --> 00:05:26.226
And then exhale, chin to chest.

00:05:26.226 --> 00:05:27.761
Oh yeah.

00:05:27.761 --> 00:05:28.895
Great, slowly release.

00:05:28.895 --> 00:05:31.131
Fingertips kiss the earth.

00:05:31.131 --> 00:05:34.434
Then flip the palms up and
inhale big stretch as you reach

00:05:34.434 --> 00:05:37.170
fingertips all the way up.

00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:39.239
And then exhale, palms down.

00:05:39.239 --> 00:05:42.008
Float fingertips to the earth.

00:05:42.008 --> 00:05:44.010
Nice and easy, 
inhale, reach it up.

00:05:46.580 --> 00:05:47.881
And exhale, palms down.

00:05:47.881 --> 00:05:48.882
Press into something.

00:05:48.882 --> 00:05:51.151
Give some energy to 
the fingers, the palms.

00:05:52.543 --> 00:05:55.188
And one more time,
with the breath.

00:06:00.193 --> 00:06:01.294
Beautiful.

00:06:01.294 --> 00:06:02.929
Come forward on 
to all fours now.

00:06:02.929 --> 00:06:04.931
Take your time.

00:06:07.767 --> 00:06:08.835
Tabletop Position.

00:06:08.835 --> 00:06:11.004
I have a little blanky here
today padding my knees just

00:06:11.004 --> 00:06:14.207
because when I feel 
kind of tired or achy or like

00:06:14.207 --> 00:06:15.842
I don't really want 
to get on the mat,

00:06:15.842 --> 00:06:18.995
I add one element that helps 
me feel a little extra comfy.

00:06:18.995 --> 00:06:22.351
So if you have a blanket or a
towel you might use it today.

00:06:24.718 --> 00:06:26.453
And then we'll 
ground through the hands.

00:06:28.451 --> 00:06:31.191
So finding a little 
grounding to the earth here

00:06:31.191 --> 00:06:33.764
as we spread the fingertips.

00:06:33.764 --> 00:06:36.796
And I invite you to slowly keep
the right knee bent as you lift

00:06:36.796 --> 00:06:39.699
the right foot, sole of the
right foot up towards the sky.

00:06:41.653 --> 00:06:43.550
Then nice and slow 
we're gonna draw big circles

00:06:43.550 --> 00:06:45.639
with the right knee.

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.042
And best you can, try to keep
your weight evenly distributed

00:06:49.042 --> 00:06:50.977
through both palms.

00:06:50.977 --> 00:06:53.513
So we're finding that 
hand to earth connection.

00:06:56.151 --> 00:06:59.803
That Hasta Banda, that hand to
earth lock here as you draw big

00:06:59.803 --> 00:07:02.689
circles with the right knee.

00:07:02.689 --> 00:07:05.659
This is so great especially
if you marry the breath to it

00:07:05.659 --> 00:07:07.427
because we start 
to open up the hip,

00:07:07.427 --> 00:07:11.853
the low back while also

00:07:11.853 --> 00:07:15.869
connecting to the muscles 
of the abdominal wall.

00:07:15.869 --> 00:07:20.473
Creating stability and strength
in the shoulders and the arms.

00:07:20.473 --> 00:07:23.877
And creating healthy flow of
energy by making sure we're not

00:07:23.877 --> 00:07:27.314
clenching in the neck either
way or dropping in the neck but

00:07:27.314 --> 00:07:29.188
keeping it nice and long.

00:07:30.905 --> 00:07:33.443
Alright, yoga for change.

00:07:33.443 --> 00:07:35.722
Notice which direction 
you've established

00:07:35.722 --> 00:07:37.057
and then let's change it up.

00:07:37.057 --> 00:07:38.998
Take it the other way.

00:07:38.998 --> 00:07:42.262
And you're gonna start 
to get a little tired here.

00:07:42.262 --> 00:07:46.499
That's normal so reconnect to
your foundation and know that

00:07:46.499 --> 00:07:48.501
you're building a nice, 
strong core here as well.

00:07:50.970 --> 00:07:53.409
Great, let's do two more rounds.

00:07:53.409 --> 00:07:56.484
Mmm and my glutes 
are turning on too.

00:07:57.134 --> 00:07:58.473
Hey-o!

00:07:58.473 --> 00:07:59.841
Okay, and then release.

00:07:59.841 --> 00:08:01.097
From here you're gonna bring the

00:08:01.097 --> 00:08:03.583
right foot all the 
way up and through.

00:08:03.583 --> 00:08:04.984
Walk the left knee back.

00:08:04.984 --> 00:08:07.520
Very helpful if you have a
little padding today to walk it

00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:11.725
back and then front knee over
front ankle here as we stay nice

00:08:11.725 --> 00:08:13.193
and low in a nice low lunge.

00:08:13.193 --> 00:08:14.561
Keep it nice and 
low to the ground.

00:08:16.643 --> 00:08:18.398
You might as I am find soft,

00:08:18.398 --> 00:08:20.763
easy movement 
here that feels good.

00:08:21.868 --> 00:08:26.133
Benji's totally
Zen'ed out today. Sleepy.

00:08:29.663 --> 00:08:33.145
And then nice and easy, left
hand's gonna come to the ground.

00:08:33.145 --> 00:08:36.515
We're gonna take the right thumb
to the right hip crease and pull

00:08:36.515 --> 00:08:39.852
it back and as you do that turn
your right toes out just a bit

00:08:39.852 --> 00:08:43.356
and let your heart begin to
open and shine maybe towards

00:08:43.356 --> 00:08:46.431
the front right 
corner of your yoga mat.

00:08:48.061 --> 00:08:49.295
Excellent.

00:08:49.295 --> 00:08:50.997
For our last breath,
let's inhale,

00:08:50.997 --> 00:08:53.066
reach right fingertips up.

00:08:53.066 --> 00:08:55.602
And then exhale, wiggle the
right fingertips as you walk

00:08:55.602 --> 00:08:59.539
everything back to 
your nice low lunge.

00:08:59.539 --> 00:09:01.341
Great, inhale to look forward.

00:09:01.341 --> 00:09:03.243
Exhale to send the 
right hip crease back.

00:09:03.243 --> 00:09:05.678
Again, you can imagine your
right thumb in your right hip

00:09:05.678 --> 00:09:06.946
crease pulling it back here as

00:09:06.946 --> 00:09:08.815
you flex your right toes
towards your face.

00:09:10.290 --> 00:09:12.218
Breathe in.

00:09:12.218 --> 00:09:15.355
Breathe out and slowly 
bring it all the way back

00:09:15.355 --> 00:09:16.556
to your nice low lunge.

00:09:16.556 --> 00:09:18.725
Plant the palms, 
connect to your core.

00:09:18.725 --> 00:09:22.475
Oops, sorry buddy. To bring it 
all the way back to all fours.

00:09:22.478 --> 00:09:24.898
Reset, nice neutral spine.

00:09:24.898 --> 00:09:26.900
Inhale in.

00:09:27.934 --> 00:09:30.804
Exhale to press away from your
yoga mat and as you're ready

00:09:30.804 --> 00:09:33.173
begin to lift the left knee up.

00:09:33.173 --> 00:09:34.541
So left knee stays bent.

00:09:34.541 --> 00:09:37.877
You can even start to 
feel this in the lower belly,

00:09:37.877 --> 00:09:39.946
those deep core muscles.

00:09:39.946 --> 00:09:41.714
Sole of the left 
foot to the ground.

00:09:41.714 --> 00:09:43.783
Careful not to 
stack the hips here.

00:09:43.783 --> 00:09:47.020
We want to turn on the core and
stay connected to the hands by

00:09:47.020 --> 00:09:49.022
keeping the hips 
as level as possible.

00:09:50.890 --> 00:09:53.126
And then here we go, 
big circles with the left knee.

00:09:56.460 --> 00:09:59.499
The more you can sync up with
your breath here the better.

00:09:59.499 --> 00:10:03.564
The more I think you'll 
get out of the practice.

00:10:05.905 --> 00:10:07.240
Once you feel like you 
know what you're doing,

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.509
you might soften your gaze,
take it down, or even

00:10:09.509 --> 00:10:11.044
close your eyes 
for a couple rounds.

00:10:11.044 --> 00:10:13.279
Just really focusing 
on the sensation.

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.205
What's going on 
in that left hip?

00:10:16.205 --> 00:10:21.054
How is it connected 
to the whole body?

00:10:23.423 --> 00:10:26.873
Make sure you're keeping a
nice soft bend in the elbows.

00:10:28.207 --> 00:10:33.433
And then acknowledge whatever
way you've established here and

00:10:33.433 --> 00:10:34.601
then let's change it up.

00:10:34.601 --> 00:10:38.338
Inevitably moving 
in the other direction.

00:10:41.474 --> 00:10:43.810
Stay firm in your foundation.

00:10:43.810 --> 00:10:45.311
Fingertips clawing to earth.

00:10:45.311 --> 00:10:48.181
Top of the right 
foot firmly rooting down.

00:10:50.316 --> 00:10:52.090
Okay, stick with it.
Do two more rounds.

00:10:52.093 --> 00:10:53.253
You got it.

00:10:53.253 --> 00:10:54.897
Round.

00:10:56.803 --> 00:10:58.206
Ooh.

00:10:58.206 --> 00:11:00.460
And then all the way through
and up into your nice low lunge.

00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:02.795
My left hip was a 
little stickier than my right.

00:11:02.795 --> 00:11:06.866
Hopefully you noticed what's
going on in your hips too.

00:11:06.866 --> 00:11:08.501
Right knee 
comes back just a bit.

00:11:08.501 --> 00:11:10.336
We feel this deep stretch.

00:11:10.336 --> 00:11:12.272
Root chakra grounding down.

00:11:12.272 --> 00:11:14.140
Heart chakra moving forward.

00:11:14.140 --> 00:11:15.808
We got this.

00:11:15.808 --> 00:11:16.509
Breathing deep.

00:11:16.509 --> 00:11:20.313
Maybe soft, easy movement
here as you notice how you feel.

00:11:26.907 --> 00:11:29.856
Okay, and then right hand's 
gonna come to the earth.

00:11:29.856 --> 00:11:33.126
Left thumb is gonna come to the
left hip crease and you're gonna

00:11:33.126 --> 00:11:36.763
use that left thumb as you
pull back to open up left toes.

00:11:36.763 --> 00:11:38.777
Oh yeah.

00:11:38.777 --> 00:11:40.922
Towards the 
left side of the mat.

00:11:40.922 --> 00:11:43.043
Breathe here.

00:11:46.706 --> 00:11:50.243
Let your heart begin to open.

00:11:50.243 --> 00:11:51.878
Chest spirals up.

00:11:51.878 --> 00:11:55.315
Perhaps shining heart center or
your sternum towards the front

00:11:55.315 --> 00:11:56.569
left corner of your mat.

00:11:56.569 --> 00:11:59.319
And then for our final breath
cycle here we're gonna inhale,

00:11:59.319 --> 00:12:01.434
reach the left fingertips up.

00:12:01.434 --> 00:12:05.124
Ooh, and then on an 
exhale bring it back down.

00:12:05.124 --> 00:12:07.493
We'll bring everything 
back to that nice low lunge.

00:12:09.896 --> 00:12:13.880
Inhale in, full refreshing
breath in and on an exhale

00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:15.802
pull the left hip crease back.

00:12:15.802 --> 00:12:18.204
Keep your left 
foot nice and active,

00:12:18.204 --> 00:12:20.773
flexing towards your face.

00:12:20.773 --> 00:12:22.141
Big cycle of breath here.

00:12:22.141 --> 00:12:23.773
Inhaling in.

00:12:25.829 --> 00:12:27.680
And exhaling out.

00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:30.319
Begin to take 
your center forward.

00:12:30.319 --> 00:12:32.485
Come back to 
that nice low lunge.

00:12:32.485 --> 00:12:34.787
Plant the palms 
and we'll come back to,

00:12:34.787 --> 00:12:36.789
ooh, all fours.

00:12:38.124 --> 00:12:39.055
Fabulous.

00:12:39.055 --> 00:12:41.661
From here you're gonna 
bring the big toes to touch,

00:12:41.661 --> 00:12:43.523
the knees as wide 
as your yoga mat

00:12:43.523 --> 00:12:45.898
and you're gonna 
send the hips back.

00:12:45.898 --> 00:12:49.202
Melt your heart down, 
forehead toward the earth,

00:12:49.202 --> 00:12:50.734
take a rest.

00:12:52.505 --> 00:12:55.703
Close your eyes again

00:12:55.703 --> 00:12:58.244
and just enjoy a 
quiet moment here

00:12:58.244 --> 00:12:59.909
low to the ground.

00:13:05.213 --> 00:13:08.786
Keep a nice active breath here.

00:13:09.856 --> 00:13:13.908
So the body is still 
but the breath keeps moving.

00:13:23.777 --> 00:13:27.206
Okie doke then 
slowly come on through.

00:13:27.206 --> 00:13:29.609
Bring the knees back 
underneath the hip points.

00:13:30.937 --> 00:13:35.415
We're gonna bring the hands
underneath the wrists first and

00:13:35.415 --> 00:13:37.216
then bring the elbows 
right where the hands are.

00:13:37.216 --> 00:13:41.721
So your elbows are right 
underneath your shoulders.

00:13:41.721 --> 00:13:44.691
Spread the hands wide.

00:13:44.691 --> 00:13:46.125
Fingers wide, excuse me.

00:13:46.125 --> 00:13:48.628
And nice and easy you're 
gonna curl the toes under

00:13:48.628 --> 00:13:50.029
and send one leg back.

00:13:50.029 --> 00:13:52.198
What? She tricked us
and then the other,

00:13:52.198 --> 00:13:53.199
Forearm Plank.

00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:55.535
Aw man, but don't get mad.

00:13:55.535 --> 00:13:56.536
This is yoga for change.

00:13:56.536 --> 00:13:59.272
How do we react 
to things like this?

00:13:59.272 --> 00:14:02.842
When we're challenged, when
we're seemingly asked to do

00:14:02.842 --> 00:14:05.812
something we don't want 
to do, what's your vibe?

00:14:07.092 --> 00:14:07.980
How can you hang?

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:09.982
And if you're like, "Well really
truly I get the lesson but my

00:14:09.982 --> 00:14:13.886
"body can't do that," then let's
do Half Forearm Plank for you

00:14:13.886 --> 00:14:16.402
with the knees down 
and the toes up.

00:14:20.493 --> 00:14:23.124
If you're breathing 
then you're doing it right.

00:14:24.997 --> 00:14:27.767
Keep breathing.
You've got it.

00:14:27.767 --> 00:14:32.873
Three, two, everyone slowly
lower to the belly on the one.

00:14:33.339 --> 00:14:34.841
Okay, keep the 
elbows where they are.

00:14:34.841 --> 00:14:38.003
Draw the shoulders away 
from the ears, Spinx Pose.

00:14:38.003 --> 00:14:39.779
So you're gonna press 
pubic bone into earth.

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:42.915
Press the tops of the feet down
and inhale, open the chest.

00:14:42.915 --> 00:14:46.686
Grounding, grounding, grounding.

00:14:46.686 --> 00:14:48.321
Neck nice and long.

00:14:48.321 --> 00:14:51.672
We're not crunching here or

00:14:52.358 --> 00:14:54.404
dropping the head but a nice

00:14:55.495 --> 00:14:57.730
balance, a nice 
awareness in the neck.

00:14:57.730 --> 00:15:00.157
Nice and long.
Breathing, breathing, breathing.

00:15:02.168 --> 00:15:05.304
Mmmm, gorgeous 
and then here we go.

00:15:05.304 --> 00:15:06.906
One more curl the toes under.

00:15:06.906 --> 00:15:09.375
Inhale in, exhale, 
hug the low ribs in,

00:15:09.375 --> 00:15:10.643
draw your navel to your spine,

00:15:10.643 --> 00:15:13.112
reach the heels back 
for Forearm Plank.

00:15:13.112 --> 00:15:16.349
Breathing deep, you got it.

00:15:16.349 --> 00:15:18.317
Alright, here we go,
check it out.

00:15:18.317 --> 00:15:22.088
You're gonna turn on to the
outer edge of your left foot,

00:15:22.088 --> 00:15:23.990
inner arch of your right foot.

00:15:23.990 --> 00:15:27.527
Inhale, reach right fingertips
all the way up towards the sky.

00:15:27.527 --> 00:15:30.163
And then exhale,
come on through.

00:15:30.163 --> 00:15:31.330
Forearm Plank.

00:15:31.330 --> 00:15:33.866
Only doing this once on 
each side, you got it.

00:15:33.866 --> 00:15:36.836
Then turning to the
opposite side, here we go.

00:15:36.836 --> 00:15:38.838
Right elbow's right 
underneath my right shoulder.

00:15:38.838 --> 00:15:42.642
I got this as I inhale, 
reach up and then exhale,

00:15:42.642 --> 00:15:44.866
come all the way back down.
Amazing work.

00:15:44.866 --> 00:15:47.980
Bring the knees to the ground,
keep the elbows where they are.

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:50.616
Anahatasan, Puppy Posture.

00:15:50.616 --> 00:15:53.152
We're chillin' out from here
on to the end of this practice.

00:15:53.152 --> 00:15:55.421
You're doing great.

00:15:55.421 --> 00:15:57.523
Hips up high.

00:15:57.523 --> 00:15:58.825
Forehead toward the earth.

00:15:58.825 --> 00:16:02.962
Heart melts down as we open the
shoulders and get a good wash.

00:16:02.962 --> 00:16:04.130
So breathe deep.

00:16:05.697 --> 00:16:10.870
Massaging the 
internal organs here.

00:16:10.870 --> 00:16:13.749
Keeping firmly rooted 
through your hands

00:16:15.609 --> 00:16:18.578
and just noticing how you feel.

00:16:25.716 --> 00:16:29.522
If you need a little more today,
you can now transition from

00:16:29.522 --> 00:16:31.736
Puppy Posture to Downward Dog.

00:16:33.526 --> 00:16:35.228
But if you're still 
feeling a little drained,

00:16:35.228 --> 00:16:38.497
a little tired stay in
Anahatasan, Puppy Posture.

00:16:38.497 --> 00:16:40.535
I'll stay here with you.

00:16:40.535 --> 00:16:44.845
We'll do three to 
five more breaths.

00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.896
When you're ready, slowly
begin to make your way back up.

00:17:10.896 --> 00:17:13.199
Take your time.

00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:15.635
Nice and slow.
Nice and slow.

00:17:15.635 --> 00:17:19.438
We're gonna come to a 
seat in Cobbler's Pose.

00:17:19.438 --> 00:17:21.507
So you can use your blanket to

00:17:21.507 --> 00:17:23.492
sit up on a little 
bit if you like.

00:17:25.196 --> 00:17:29.081
And as you bring your head over
your heart and your heart over

00:17:29.081 --> 00:17:31.651
your pelvis here just feel
this kind of flush of energy.

00:17:31.651 --> 00:17:36.522
Hopefully a good sensation kind
of melt from the ears down the

00:17:36.522 --> 00:17:39.101
neckline to the 
traps and the shoulders.

00:17:42.194 --> 00:17:43.629
And I like to sit 
up on the blanket

00:17:43.629 --> 00:17:44.864
or towel from time to time.

00:17:44.864 --> 00:17:47.733
Sorry, I'm working around my
dog today which is part of the

00:17:47.733 --> 00:17:50.942
at-home yoga experience 
as many of you know.

00:17:50.942 --> 00:17:53.272
But I love to lift 
the hips so I can just find

00:17:53.272 --> 00:17:54.707
a little more in the posture.

00:17:54.707 --> 00:17:57.443
It may not always 
feel necessary but again,

00:17:57.443 --> 00:18:00.346
particularly on days where you
just need a little extra love,

00:18:00.346 --> 00:18:05.909
a little push out of sedentary,
it's nice to bring some props.

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.158
And it's also nice to 
do a little self massage.

00:18:12.158 --> 00:18:14.827
So as you come into 
your Cobbler's Pose,

00:18:14.827 --> 00:18:18.564
bring the heels out wide enough
so that you can take your thumbs

00:18:18.564 --> 00:18:20.266
to the arches of your feet 
and that's where we're gonna

00:18:20.266 --> 00:18:22.702
begin a little massage.

00:18:22.702 --> 00:18:27.373
You can send your gaze down
at your feet and just pull,

00:18:27.373 --> 00:18:29.915
pull, pull back from 
the arches a little bit.

00:18:32.676 --> 00:18:34.914
And then I'm gonna quiet down 
a little bit but I would like

00:18:34.914 --> 00:18:37.783
for you to take the next 
couple cycles of breath

00:18:37.783 --> 00:18:39.051
to explore your feet.

00:18:39.051 --> 00:18:40.876
Whatever that means to you.
Give yourself a little massage.

00:18:40.876 --> 00:18:43.990
You can stay on your arches or
you can start to work towards

00:18:43.990 --> 00:18:47.682
the heels, the toes, the ankles.

00:18:49.829 --> 00:18:51.163
And again, I'm just 
gonna stay out of

00:18:51.163 --> 00:18:52.131
your business for a second.

00:18:52.131 --> 00:18:55.234
Let you send your attention 
down towards your feet.

00:18:55.234 --> 00:18:57.289
Breathing lots of love in.

00:18:58.961 --> 00:19:00.569
And lots of love out.

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.219
Don't decide where it ends.

00:19:29.735 --> 00:19:31.737
Alright, keep going.

00:19:33.572 --> 00:19:37.009
Getting a nice 
opening in the hips as well.

00:19:43.659 --> 00:19:46.218
Alright and then 
last little bit here,

00:19:46.218 --> 00:19:48.423
little, um,

00:19:49.493 --> 00:19:51.856
wacky but a fun little wake up.

00:19:51.856 --> 00:19:54.955
A little stimulus 
to help you get along

00:19:54.955 --> 00:19:57.830
on your merry way and

00:19:57.830 --> 00:20:02.268
not only rock and roll with
the waves of change but find the

00:20:02.268 --> 00:20:06.005
energy you need to hopefully
make positive change

00:20:08.087 --> 00:20:09.467
in your life. (chuckles)

00:20:09.467 --> 00:20:11.426
You're gonna 
bring the knees together.

00:20:11.426 --> 00:20:13.465
Get my blanket back.

00:20:13.465 --> 00:20:15.314
And you're gonna 
come to a seat with

00:20:15.314 --> 00:20:16.649
your feet right out in front.

00:20:16.649 --> 00:20:18.620
So bring the legs together.
Come on back.

00:20:18.620 --> 00:20:20.262
You can use your 
hands behind you.

00:20:21.655 --> 00:20:26.425
This is a little ditty that I
used to do in kids yoga but I've

00:20:26.425 --> 00:20:29.886
definitely done it at least 50
adult yoga classes now so this

00:20:29.886 --> 00:20:31.732
is one for all the ages.

00:20:31.732 --> 00:20:33.164
You're gonna 
lift your front body,

00:20:33.164 --> 00:20:35.102
ground down 
through the shoulders,

00:20:35.102 --> 00:20:36.969
take a deep breath in.

00:20:36.969 --> 00:20:39.672
Lift your legs and then as
you exhale we're gonna start to

00:20:39.672 --> 00:20:42.374
bring the soles of the feet to
the ground and just create a

00:20:42.374 --> 00:20:45.311
little slapping 
effect on the ground.

00:20:45.311 --> 00:20:48.720
And you can do it as 
light or as hard as you like.

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:50.750
It's fun when we do 
this with a group of people.

00:20:50.750 --> 00:20:54.233
It sounds like the 
sound of rain pitter-patting.

00:20:54.233 --> 00:20:56.455
And we're just waking up.

00:20:56.455 --> 00:20:58.073
Sorry buddy.

00:20:58.073 --> 00:20:59.615
We're waking up 
the soles of the feet.

00:20:59.615 --> 00:21:03.004
All that energy is translating
up through the ankles.

00:21:03.004 --> 00:21:05.866
Keep going.
Up through the shins, the knees.

00:21:05.866 --> 00:21:08.696
Sorry Benji. (chuckles)
The thighs.

00:21:09.656 --> 00:21:12.235
Waking up all the 
pets in the house too.

00:21:12.241 --> 00:21:14.012
Keep it going.

00:21:14.012 --> 00:21:16.609
Anything that's not serving you
maybe we just stamp it out now.

00:21:16.609 --> 00:21:17.569
We don't need it.

00:21:17.569 --> 00:21:21.859
Keep it going 
for three, two, one.

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:24.316
Cross the ankles, sit up tall.

00:21:24.316 --> 00:21:26.858
Flip the palms up, Sukhasana.

00:21:26.858 --> 00:21:29.021
Back to that cross-legged seat.

00:21:29.021 --> 00:21:31.323
Take a deep breath in.

00:21:31.323 --> 00:21:33.425
As you exhale, 
relax your shoulders

00:21:33.425 --> 00:21:35.613
and notice how you feel.

00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:42.301
Nice work.

00:21:42.301 --> 00:21:45.037
Let's bring the palms 
together back at Anjuli Mudra,

00:21:45.037 --> 00:21:46.562
at the heart.

00:21:48.774 --> 00:21:52.444
And just take a little moment
here to give thanks for yourself

00:21:52.444 --> 00:21:54.446
for choosing this practice.

00:21:55.915 --> 00:22:00.509
For listening to 
your inner wisdom

00:22:01.575 --> 00:22:04.101
when it whispered move.

00:22:04.101 --> 00:22:06.792
Find what feels good.

00:22:06.792 --> 00:22:07.560
Love you so much.

00:22:07.560 --> 00:22:10.429
Thanks for sharing your practice
with me and all of the amazing

00:22:10.429 --> 00:22:12.998
people practicing 
right now around the world.

00:22:12.998 --> 00:22:15.334
Let us know how you're feeling
in the comment section down

00:22:15.334 --> 00:22:17.803
below and I'll 
see you next time.

00:22:17.803 --> 00:22:19.154
Namaste.

00:22:26.106 --> 00:22:31.639
(gentle music)
