00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.611
(upbeat music)

00:00:05.366 --> 00:00:06.921
- Alright, welcome, my friends.

00:00:06.921 --> 00:00:11.158
Let's begin with the 
left hand on the heart,

00:00:12.343 --> 00:00:16.172
the right hand 
right down on the belly.

00:00:18.258 --> 00:00:22.906
Five minute break to chill out,
to calm the nervous system,

00:00:22.906 --> 00:00:24.548
and to find what feels good.

00:00:24.548 --> 00:00:28.342
Take a deep breath in, 
maybe close your eyes here.

00:00:29.610 --> 00:00:33.166
And on your exhale, 
really relax the shoulders.

00:00:34.498 --> 00:00:36.907
And then choose to give the
thinking mind a break here

00:00:36.907 --> 00:00:40.292
for five minutes 
as you inhale deeply.

00:00:42.303 --> 00:00:45.876
And use the exhale 
to relax your shoulders.

00:00:47.735 --> 00:00:50.100
Alright, on this one really
breathe into your hands here

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:54.021
so fill up with 
breath, big inhale.

00:00:55.816 --> 00:00:59.126
And exhale, 
relaxing the shoulders.

00:01:00.307 --> 00:01:02.196
Awesome, I already feel relaxed.

00:01:02.196 --> 00:01:03.897
Bring the left 
hand to the earth,

00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:07.758
sweep the right fingertips 
all the way up and over.

00:01:07.758 --> 00:01:10.274
Big side body stretch here.

00:01:10.274 --> 00:01:12.883
You can find soft easy 
movement here in the shoulders

00:01:12.883 --> 00:01:14.373
if it feels right.

00:01:14.373 --> 00:01:17.544
Checking in with 
the head, the neck.

00:01:17.544 --> 00:01:19.776
Take a deep breath in.

00:01:19.776 --> 00:01:22.624
And then exhale,
brings you back to center,

00:01:22.624 --> 00:01:24.318
right hand comes to the ground.

00:01:24.318 --> 00:01:27.487
And big inhale, just 
sweep the left fingertips

00:01:27.487 --> 00:01:32.099
all the way up and over, 
feeling it out,

00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:34.957
stretching the side body,

00:01:34.957 --> 00:01:39.838
and paying attention to the
shoulder, the head, the neck.

00:01:41.855 --> 00:01:44.938
Great, take one 
more big inhale here,

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:49.176
and then use your exhale to
come all the way back to center.

00:01:49.176 --> 00:01:52.703
Awesome, let's come to 
lie flat on our backs here,

00:01:52.703 --> 00:01:55.966
breathing mindfully, 
nice conscious breath,

00:01:55.966 --> 00:01:58.870
even as you transition here.

00:02:00.153 --> 00:02:01.839
And right as you come down,

00:02:01.839 --> 00:02:05.376
make sure that you 
tuck the chin to the chest

00:02:05.376 --> 00:02:07.491
just a little bit to 
find length in the neck,

00:02:07.491 --> 00:02:09.827
just lots of awareness in 
the neck and shoulders,

00:02:09.827 --> 00:02:12.352
and then bend the knees,
bring the feet up to the mat,

00:02:12.352 --> 00:02:15.703
so you can find a nice 
support in the lower back.

00:02:15.703 --> 00:02:17.971
So you might even lift your tail

00:02:17.971 --> 00:02:22.109
and just snuggle your 
lower back to the mat.

00:02:23.056 --> 00:02:25.022
Great then snuggle 
your shoulder blades

00:02:25.022 --> 00:02:28.735
underneath your heart 
space as if you were trying to

00:02:28.735 --> 00:02:33.038
do a heart opener here, 
so nice, open chest.

00:02:33.038 --> 00:02:35.297
So we have long neck, 
lower back supported,

00:02:35.297 --> 00:02:37.709
and nice open chest.

00:02:37.709 --> 00:02:38.423
Wonderful.

00:02:38.423 --> 00:02:42.614
Then take your arms out, 
Texas T, and try to maintain

00:02:42.614 --> 00:02:45.450
all of these things, 
open chest, long neck,

00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:47.282
and lower back 
flush with the mat

00:02:47.282 --> 00:02:50.285
as you lift one knee up 
and then the other.

00:02:50.285 --> 00:02:54.476
Inhale in, 
exhale, allow the legs to

00:02:54.476 --> 00:02:57.946
gently fall to the left and
try to keep your right shoulder

00:02:57.946 --> 00:02:59.381
on the ground here.

00:02:59.381 --> 00:03:02.071
Big stretch, you can 
take the left hand to the top

00:03:02.071 --> 00:03:06.037
of the right thigh, 
you can also turn to rest

00:03:06.037 --> 00:03:10.192
on the right ear, 
breathing deep.

00:03:15.122 --> 00:03:18.926
And then slowly 
bringing it back through center.

00:03:18.926 --> 00:03:22.796
Nice mindful breathing
even in the transitions.

00:03:22.796 --> 00:03:24.989
Find that connect 
with the lower back again,

00:03:24.989 --> 00:03:28.702
that openness through the chest,
that long, beautiful neck.

00:03:28.702 --> 00:03:31.807
Inhale, exhale, 
over to the right.

00:03:33.007 --> 00:03:35.872
Allow the legs 
to grow heavy here.

00:03:35.872 --> 00:03:39.719
Try to keep your 
shoulders anchored to the earth.

00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.884
Oh, yeah.

00:03:40.884 --> 00:03:44.121
Right hand comes to the 
top of the left thigh maybe.

00:03:44.121 --> 00:03:47.264
And maybe we turn to 
rest on the left ear.

00:03:47.264 --> 00:03:49.359
Breathing into the belly.

00:03:52.763 --> 00:03:56.048
Close your eyes 
or soften your gaze.

00:03:59.836 --> 00:04:04.207
And then slowly 
unravel, bring it back.

00:04:04.207 --> 00:04:05.742
Awesome work.

00:04:05.742 --> 00:04:08.211
Slowly lower the 
feet to the ground.

00:04:08.211 --> 00:04:10.047
We're gonna bring the 
fingertips to interlace

00:04:10.047 --> 00:04:12.349
behind the tail 
for a Bridge Pose.

00:04:12.349 --> 00:04:15.315
So you'll bring 
your fingertips to

00:04:15.315 --> 00:04:18.517
about where the heels 
meet and then from there

00:04:18.517 --> 00:04:20.899
we'll press in the feet, 
lift the hips up high.

00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:23.035
Here we go.
Snuggle the shoulder blades in,

00:04:23.035 --> 00:04:26.697
interlace the fingertips,
and lift the hips up.

00:04:26.697 --> 00:04:29.669
Long, beautiful spine here

00:04:29.669 --> 00:04:32.539
as you squeeze the 
inner thighs together

00:04:32.539 --> 00:04:35.202
and just imagine 
length in the spine.

00:04:35.202 --> 00:04:39.146
Nice and long. So the knees are 
reaching towards the front edge,

00:04:39.146 --> 00:04:42.849
the sits bones are reaching
towards the backs of the knees.

00:04:42.849 --> 00:04:45.486
Take one more breath here, 
just look straight up

00:04:45.486 --> 00:04:48.165
or close your eyes.

00:04:48.165 --> 00:04:51.758
Chest to chin
and chin towards the sky.

00:04:52.970 --> 00:04:53.804
Wonderful.

00:04:53.804 --> 00:04:57.781
Release everything and 
nice and slow articulating

00:04:57.781 --> 00:05:02.576
through the spine as you 
come all the way back down.

00:05:02.576 --> 00:05:05.138
Beautiful. From here,
we'll walk the feet together,

00:05:05.138 --> 00:05:08.221
open the knees wide, 
Supta Baddha Konasana.

00:05:08.221 --> 00:05:11.094
You're just gonna rock
the head gently side to side,

00:05:11.094 --> 00:05:13.206
ear to ear, 
getting a little massage

00:05:13.206 --> 00:05:16.757
in the back of the neck, 
the head rather.

00:05:16.757 --> 00:05:18.746
Stretching through the neck.

00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:23.840
And then take the deepest
breath you've taken all day.

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:26.600
Nice big inhale in.

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.651
Then long breath out, 
relax your shoulders.

00:05:30.891 --> 00:05:33.310
Left hand comes 
back to the heart,

00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:36.904
right hand back to the belly,

00:05:36.904 --> 00:05:38.861
and we rest.

00:05:43.380 --> 00:05:46.810
(upbeat music)
