00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.431
(upbeat music)

00:00:05.438 --> 00:00:06.640
- Alright,
my darling friends.

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:08.560
Let's begin with Cat-Cow.

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.534
Come into Tabletop position.

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.519
And we'll start to
move with the breath.

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:19.457
Inhale, drop the belly,
open the chest nice and slow.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.737
Exhale, round
through chin to chest.

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:30.999
Inhale, open the chest,
feel the front body stretch.

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.600
And exhale, 
rounding through,

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.750
navel draws up.

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.400
Couple more here,
move with your breath,

00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:44.720
nice and slow.

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:46.677
Waking up the body.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.237
Setting a mindful
tone for the day.

00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.280
One more Cow Pose,
drop the belly.

00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:56.480
This time really tug the

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.640
shoulders away from the ears
and press into the feet firmly.

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.240
And then one more Cat Pose.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.040
Really arch the spine
and claw into the fingertips.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.480
Chin to chest.

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.490
Great work, inhale, Tabletop.

00:01:11.490 --> 00:01:14.080
This time bump
the hips to the left,

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:16.800
and then turn to look
past your right shoulder.

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:19.040
Feel a nice
stretch in the side body.

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.080
Keep the hands and
feet rooted to the earth.

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:25.200
And then slowly,
gently come through center,

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.960
bump the hips to the right and

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:29.360
turn to look past
your left shoulder.

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:31.600
Again keep the
hands and feet grounded.

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:36.400
Continue to breath here as

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.000
we slowly wake up
the body with love.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.520
Back to center we go.

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:43.840
Drop the elbows
right where the hands are.

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:47.360
Take a deep breath in.

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:51.600
And then on your exhale,
slowly walk the knees back,

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.240
Puppy posture or
Heart to Earth pose,

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:58.240
a beautiful way
to kick off the day.

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:01.360
Nice chest opener here,
breath deep,

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:03.199
opening the shoulders.

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:07.840
We get the head just
under the heart here.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.330
Welcoming some fresh oxygen,

00:02:14.330 --> 00:02:16.859
fresh blood flow.

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.221
And then slowly come all the way
back up to Tabletop position.

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:32.160
Again take your time,
then we'll curl the toes under,

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:34.340
take a deep breath in.

00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:35.280
And on the exhale,

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.320
send the hips up high,
Downward Facing Dog.

00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:40.824
Pedal it out nice and easy.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:47.108
Start to deepen your breath,
shake the head loose.

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:50.748
Give thanks for your body.

00:02:53.837 --> 00:02:56.160
And appreciate yourself for

00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:59.520
taking this moment
to do a quick check in,

00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.161
to move it around.

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:06.020
When you're ready, walk the
feet to the middle of the mat.

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.360
Bend the knees,
come into Forward Fold.

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.240
Again, we're letting the blood
flow opposite direction here.

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.160
Shake the head loose,
relax through your shoulders.

00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:18.692
Really feel your feet 
grounded to the earth here

00:03:18.692 --> 00:03:21.200
and, again, connect 
to a little gratitude.

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:24.560
Definitely appreciate
yourself, smile.

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.360
And you should 
feel good, happy, proud,

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.680
that you took this time
to connect to your body,

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.407
give it some love,
connect to your breath.

00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:41.520
Alright bend the
knees generously,

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.880
bring the belly to
the tops of the thighs.

00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:48.164
And when you're ready
we'll slowly roll it up.

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:57.666
Nice and slow, feel your
feet press into the earth.

00:03:58.880 --> 00:04:02.000
Grounding in this moment for

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.440
yourself as you slowly
rise up to Mountain Pose.

00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:07.400
When you get there,

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.480
take a moment to move
the shoulders a little bit,

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:14.480
just soft easy movement.

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:17.046
Continue to deepen the breath.

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:27.040
And then see if
you can feel it out,

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.360
and align your
head over your heart,

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.880
your heart over the pelvis as

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.640
you either bring
the feet together,

00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:33.840
really together,

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:35.680
or you can choose
to go hip width apart.

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.350
Just nice mindful footing.

00:04:37.350 --> 00:04:39.740
Really feel like you're
pressing away from the earth

00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:41.600
as we spread the fingertips.

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.680
And this is that big
good morning stretch,

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.400
reach your fingertips all
the way up towards the sky,

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:49.200
take a deep breath in,
stretch, stretch, stretch,

00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:50.880
really maximize
the stretch here,

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:53.440
give it your all,
feel it out.

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:55.600
Notice what it feels
like to be alive today.

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.106
Stretch, stretch,
stretch, even more.

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:01.185
And then slowly release,

00:05:01.185 --> 00:05:04.800
interlace the
fingertips behind the back.

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.560
Knuckles draw down and away,

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.240
this is our last move here so

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.880
draw the shoulder blades
together and lift your heart,

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:12.560
open your mind.

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.697
Take a deep breath in.

00:05:14.697 --> 00:05:16.880
And exhale, 
ending with a big hug today,

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:18.880
release the arms,

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.680
and give yourself a big hug.

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.520
And I encourage you to
lift your hearts one last time.

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:28.880
Really feel your feet
pressing away from the earth.

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:31.411
Take one final deep breath in.

00:05:33.128 --> 00:05:36.824
And exhale, Mountain Pose.

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.028
Nice work.

00:05:40.028 --> 00:05:43.444
(upbeat music)
