00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:03.009
(upbeat music)

00:00:12.627 --> 00:00:14.730
- Hi everyone.
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:15.930
I'm Adriene.
Here's Benji.

00:00:15.930 --> 00:00:17.552
We're gonna jump right in with

00:00:17.552 --> 00:00:20.880
this five minute
full body stretch.

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:23.506
Take a deep breath in.

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.840
And wherever you
are as you exhale,

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:31.240
relax the shoulders meaning
wherever you are mentally,

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:33.360
however you're
feeling physically.

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:37.080
Take another deep breath in.

00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:38.680
And exhale again.

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:40.280
Relax your shoulders.

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.360
Feel them dropping
away down from the ears.

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:49.680
And one more time,
deep breath in.

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:52.720
And this time draw the
shoulder blades together,

00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:57.440
imagine them melting down
the back as you lift the chest.

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:58.400
Beautiful.

00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:01.844
We're gonna come to
all fours for Cat-Cow,

00:01:01.844 --> 00:01:03.040
so nice and slow.

00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:06.953
See if you can keep up that
nice slow deep breathing

00:01:06.953 --> 00:01:09.810
as we consciously
stretch the body here.

00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.160
Inhale, drop the belly, 
open the chest.

00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.040
Oh my gosh, Benji's so cute.

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.000
Exhale, round through the spine.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.900
Move slow here.
Really feeling the front body

00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:25.600
and the back body
stretch it out as you breathe.

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:31.034
Inhaling the belly drops and
the crown of the head extends.

00:01:32.020 --> 00:01:35.070
And then exhale,
round the spine,

00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:36.800
the chin comes to the chest and

00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:40.560
the navel really
draws up towards the spine.

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.320
One more time really
exaggerating this movement,

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.997
feeling this stretch.

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:54.880
Nice, and then widen the knees 
as wide as your yoga mat,

00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:58.280
send the hips back,
stretch the fingertips forward.

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.080
So really active arms here.

00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:02.900
Then lift the 
center of your palm

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:06.400
so just your fingerprints
are pressing into the mat.

00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.560
Wrists are reaching up 
towards the ceiling

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.130
and then we'll slowly begin

00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:13.760
to melt the chest 
and the shoulders,

00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.037
maybe the head down

00:02:15.037 --> 00:02:19.661
and you feel this 
traction in the arms,

00:02:19.661 --> 00:02:22.080
in the shoulders
and the upper back.

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.560
Now breathe,
feel the expansion as you

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.220
inhale through all
four sides of the torso.

00:02:30.220 --> 00:02:32.510
So expanding
through all four sides.

00:02:32.510 --> 00:02:33.730
Good,
and then exhale,

00:02:33.730 --> 00:02:38.510
hug the low ribs in and
feel that stretch deepen.

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:40.840
Lovely.

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.240
Slowly come
back up to all fours,

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.512
Tabletop Position.

00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.410
On your next inhale,
reach the right arm forward,

00:02:50.410 --> 00:02:54.360
the left foot,
the left leg back.

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.410
Now imagine someone's pulling

00:02:56.410 --> 00:02:59.600
your right wrist and
pulling your left ankle.

00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:02.280
So we're really
focusing on the stretch today.

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.000
Hug those low ribs up and in,

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.280
slight bend in your left
elbow so it's not locked.

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.680
Then drop your left hip in line

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.520
with your right hip 
as you breathe in.

00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.960
Good, exhale, round everything.

00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.000
Think Cat here.

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.640
Good,
inhale, extension,

00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:21.920
stretch it out.

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:24.440
And exhale,
rounding the spine,

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:28.160
feeling that low back stretch
as you hug the low ribs in.

00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:30.840
Good.
One more inhale, reach.

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.160
Spread the fingers,
spread the toes.

00:03:33.160 --> 00:03:35.880
And exhale, round through.

00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:38.360
Good, release and switch.

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.380
Left fingertips forward,
right toes back, stretch it out.

00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:44.360
Deep breath from Benji.

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.120
Nice, exhale, round it through.

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.080
So again, we're focusing 
on the stretch today.

00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.300
So stabilize 
with your foundation

00:03:51.300 --> 00:03:53.830
and then really focus on

00:03:53.830 --> 00:03:57.000
reaching, reaching,
reaching as you extend out.

00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.350
And then as you 
hug it in, focus on

00:03:59.350 --> 00:04:01.600
bringing the low ribs up 
towards the spine

00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:03.990
so you really feel that
stretch in the back.

00:04:03.990 --> 00:04:06.740
You'll feel your 
abs turn on too, bonus.

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:09.381
Inhale, reach it forward.

00:04:09.381 --> 00:04:13.040
Exhale, bring it in.

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:15.880
Good, walk both hands out now.

00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:18.040
Curl the toes under,
take a deep breath in.

00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.440
Keep the knees bent as you
peel the tailbone up towards the

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:26.320
sky and then slowly drop the
heels down towards the earth.

00:04:27.481 --> 00:04:30.440
Bend your right knee as
you anchor the left heel.

00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:33.480
Feel the stretch in
the back of that left leg.

00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:34.520
And then switch.

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:37.620
Right heel comes down,
bend the left knee.

00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.080
Stretching the right leg.

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:41.840
Now both knees bend.

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:43.820
Think about 
bringing your hip points

00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:45.695
higher up towards the ceiling

00:04:45.695 --> 00:04:46.910
as you stretch, 
stretch, stretch.

00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:50.080
Heart melts
towards the knees here.

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:51.680
And then both heels down.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.778
Breathe in.

00:04:53.778 --> 00:04:55.840
And slowly breathe out.

00:04:55.840 --> 00:04:59.560
Bring the knees back to the
earth and come into a seat.

00:05:00.621 --> 00:05:02.680
Good, we're gonna
end with a Forward Fold.

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.680
So send your legs out in front.

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.599
Inhale, reach for the sky.

00:05:07.599 --> 00:05:09.740
Exhale, feel free to bend
the knees or you can keep 'em

00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:12.680
straight here as you
come into Paschimottanasana.

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.640
You can always work to build
that length in the hamstring,

00:05:16.640 --> 00:05:18.200
rounding forward.

00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:19.840
Take a deep breath in.

00:05:21.376 --> 00:05:23.040
Stretching the calves as you

00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.290
flex the toes up
towards your head.

00:05:27.623 --> 00:05:29.760
Feeling that stretch
in the back of the knee,

00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:31.880
the hamstring.

00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:33.480
And if you're really
tight in the low back,

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.330
go ahead and bend those 
knees for one more breath

00:05:36.330 --> 00:05:41.000
and feel that love in the 
lower back as you breathe in.

00:05:42.505 --> 00:05:44.862
And to release.

00:05:44.862 --> 00:05:48.440
On a exhale, slowly roll up.

00:05:49.930 --> 00:05:52.960
We'll bring one ankle
in and then the other.

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:56.280
Draw the hands
to the heart space.

00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:59.160
Inhale, bring the
thumbs up to the third eye.

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.300
May we continue to
stretch throughout our day.

00:06:03.277 --> 00:06:06.870
Keeping an open
mind and open heart.

00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:09.910
And I hope you
feel good in your body.

00:06:09.910 --> 00:06:11.786
Thank you for being here today.

00:06:11.786 --> 00:06:13.659
Inhale in.

00:06:13.659 --> 00:06:16.417
Exhale to bow.

00:06:16.417 --> 00:06:18.390
Namaste.

00:06:19.294 --> 00:06:24.262
(upbeat music)
