WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.507
(upbeat music)

00:00:05.588 --> 00:00:08.130
- Alright, let's begin
standing at the top of the mat,

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:10.580
feet hip width apart.

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:14.310
Just take a moment 
to loop the shoulders

00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:16.020
and come into
a nice conscious breath.

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:18.120
Just do your best,
do whatever you can today,

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:19.720
but breath a little deeper.

00:00:25.124 --> 00:00:27.419
And then on
your next big inhale,

00:00:27.419 --> 00:00:29.730
send the fingertips all
the way up and over head,

00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:31.230
lots of energy
in the hands here,

00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.864
as you just take a
nice full body stretch.

00:00:33.864 --> 00:00:35.470
Pressing the
feet into the earth,

00:00:35.470 --> 00:00:37.832
inhale, inhale,
reach, reach, reach.

00:00:37.832 --> 00:00:39.543
And then exhale, release,

00:00:39.543 --> 00:00:41.700
interlace the
fingertips behind the back,

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:43.030
open up though the chest.

00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:45.390
Find a little stretch,
a little movement,

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:48.020
in the torso, the ribs.

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:50.870
You can check in with 
the head, the neck here.

00:00:50.870 --> 00:00:55.161
And then inhale in again,
exhale to release.

00:00:55.161 --> 00:00:57.847
One more time, inhale,
reach for the sky.

00:00:57.847 --> 00:00:59.840
Really maximize
the stretch here.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:01.586
Big full body stretch.

00:01:01.586 --> 00:01:04.836
Feel your muscles,
maybe tight from a run.

00:01:04.836 --> 00:01:08.280
And then on an exhale, 
release, interlace behind.

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.110
Maybe opposite
thumb on top this time,

00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:12.090
the one that
feels a little strange.

00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:13.690
And we open up
through the chest,

00:01:13.690 --> 00:01:17.825
find a little movement
in the torso and the ribs.

00:01:19.397 --> 00:01:21.877
And maybe the head, the neck.

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:26.380
And then take a deep breath in,
lift your heart.

00:01:27.371 --> 00:01:29.580
Then exhale to release.
Beautiful.

00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:33.731
Big inhale to reach the arms
all the way up and overhead.

00:01:33.731 --> 00:01:35.760
And this time
exhale to Forward Fold,

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.480
so bring it all the way down.
Should feel awesome.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.915
Bend the knees generously.

00:01:42.215 --> 00:01:44.200
Shake the head loose.

00:01:45.811 --> 00:01:48.870
Nice stretch through the
backs of the legs here.

00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:53.400
Again, bend the knees as
generously as you like here,

00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.810
feeling that nice stretch
in the lower back muscles.

00:01:58.861 --> 00:02:01.986
And then bring the
fingertips to the earth.

00:02:01.986 --> 00:02:04.780
We'll walk the feet together,

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:06.660
and bend the knees,
plant the palms,

00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:08.490
and we're gonna step it
back to a Downward Dog,

00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:11.110
so just step one
foot back then the other.

00:02:11.110 --> 00:02:13.330
And then send the hips up high.

00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:15.150
And then really press your

00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:18.035
index finger and
thumb into the earth.

00:02:18.035 --> 00:02:20.450
As you lift up
from the hip creases

00:02:20.450 --> 00:02:23.763
and start to pedal 
the legs back and forth.

00:02:24.783 --> 00:02:27.252
Fire up your breath here.

00:02:30.659 --> 00:02:31.620
And then the next time

00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:35.240
the left heel is reaching
down towards the earth,

00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.120
take a deep breath in and
lift the right leg up high.

00:02:39.201 --> 00:02:40.460
Beautiful.

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:44.310
Exhale all the way up
into a nice low lunge,

00:02:44.310 --> 00:02:47.830
lower the back knee,
open the chest.

00:02:47.830 --> 00:02:50.400
If you're looking for more of a

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.290
stretch you can walk that
left knee back even more.

00:02:53.290 --> 00:02:56.042
Everyone though open
up through the chest.

00:02:57.390 --> 00:03:01.050
Then right fingertips 
are gonna come to the arch

00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:04.033
of the right foot or
the heel of the right foot.

00:03:04.033 --> 00:03:06.400
And then just nice and slow
you're gonna take your left hand

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.350
to the small of your back

00:03:07.350 --> 00:03:10.730
and start to open up
through the chest here.

00:03:10.730 --> 00:03:14.940
Breathe deep, stay here,
or you can bend that left knee,

00:03:14.940 --> 00:03:16.620
and reach back
to grab the toes.

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:18.930
Another option here is to maybe

00:03:18.930 --> 00:03:21.790
bring the right elbow to
the top of the right thigh.

00:03:21.790 --> 00:03:25.270
You're gonna wanna squeeze
into the midline for support,

00:03:25.270 --> 00:03:26.860
for stability.

00:03:28.127 --> 00:03:29.580
Wrap your left
shoulder blade around,

00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:31.310
inhale, open the chest.

00:03:31.310 --> 00:03:34.330
Again, you can just
be here too or here.

00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:35.600
And then on an exhale,

00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:39.449
release your left leg and
come all the way back,

00:03:39.449 --> 00:03:42.951
hands come to the earth and we
come back to that Downward Dog.

00:03:42.951 --> 00:03:45.480
Pedal it out, pedal it out.

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:48.390
Activate the breath and the next
time your right heel is down.

00:03:48.390 --> 00:03:50.890
Inhale, lift the
left leg up high.

00:03:50.890 --> 00:03:53.910
Exhale, step it all
the way up and through.

00:03:55.616 --> 00:03:57.180
Now lower your back knee,

00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:00.807
feel free to walk it
back for more of a stretch,

00:04:00.807 --> 00:04:03.761
and just be really
mindful here as you explore.

00:04:04.709 --> 00:04:09.323
Send fresh breaths and
awareness to tight muscles.

00:04:09.323 --> 00:04:10.960
And when you're
ready left fingertips

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.254
come around to the
inner arch or the inner heel.

00:04:14.254 --> 00:04:16.000
And we lift up
from the pelvic floor

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.070
and we reach the right hand

00:04:18.070 --> 00:04:19.650
to the small of
the back or the sacrum,

00:04:19.650 --> 00:04:20.730
and we open up
through the chest.

00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:22.220
And you can just stay here

00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.270
maybe pressing into
the top of that back foot,

00:04:25.270 --> 00:04:29.184
sinking a little deeper,
opening up through your heart,

00:04:29.184 --> 00:04:32.511
or maybe you
come onto the thigh,

00:04:32.511 --> 00:04:34.980
or maybe we
bend that right knee,

00:04:34.980 --> 00:04:37.830
grab the toes,
and stretch it out here.

00:04:39.507 --> 00:04:40.380
So again, squeeze,

00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:44.302
hug into the midline
for stability, for support.

00:04:44.302 --> 00:04:46.761
Breathing deep here.
One more inhale.

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.333
And then exhale to release.

00:04:50.333 --> 00:04:51.743
Awesome work.

00:04:51.743 --> 00:04:55.325
Plant the palms back to
your Downward Facing Dog.

00:04:57.837 --> 00:04:59.297
Pedal it out.

00:05:03.891 --> 00:05:07.687
Awesome, walk the feet all
the way to the center line.

00:05:07.687 --> 00:05:10.185
You're just gonna step the
right foot behind the left

00:05:10.185 --> 00:05:12.600
so that the ankles
are crossed here.

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.190
Then let your head hang over,

00:05:14.190 --> 00:05:17.730
relax your shoulders,
and you can keep the fingertips

00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:19.170
on the earth for
a little stability,

00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:23.736
and maybe even 
sway a little side to side.

00:05:23.736 --> 00:05:26.401
Nice, soft, easy movement here.

00:05:26.401 --> 00:05:28.650
If the fingertips don't come
to the ground, no big deal.

00:05:28.650 --> 00:05:33.310
You can clasp the elbows
here as you breathe.

00:05:36.074 --> 00:05:37.900
Beautiful,
and then we'll release,

00:05:37.900 --> 00:05:42.430
and we'll bring the right foot
back beside the left,

00:05:42.430 --> 00:05:45.299
and then take
the left toes around.

00:05:46.018 --> 00:05:48.510
Crossing the other direction,
and then the same thing,

00:05:48.510 --> 00:05:51.002
if the fingertips
don't come to the mat here,

00:05:51.002 --> 00:05:54.122
you can clasp the elbows,
maybe opposite clasp,

00:05:54.122 --> 00:05:57.420
and just relax the weight
of the head over as you press

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:00.940
evenly through all
four corners of your feet.

00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:05.090
And take one
more deep breath in.

00:06:06.484 --> 00:06:07.790
And then nice and slow,

00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:11.230
bringing the feet side by side,
back together,

00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:13.569
rolling up to Mountain Pose.

00:06:13.569 --> 00:06:16.150
Tucking the
chin into the chest.

00:06:17.197 --> 00:06:19.040
Take your time.

00:06:20.402 --> 00:06:25.512
And we rise up, Mountain Pose.

00:06:27.249 --> 00:06:29.950
Shift your weight to one side,
grab the opposite ankle,

00:06:29.950 --> 00:06:31.020
quad stretch.

00:06:31.020 --> 00:06:32.920
Squeeze inner
thighs to the midline.

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.880
Smile, you're amazing.
Appreciate your body.

00:06:36.789 --> 00:06:38.860
So awesome, and release.

00:06:38.860 --> 00:06:42.320
Other side,
just quick quad release here.

00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:45.378
Squeezing in, smiling.

00:06:45.378 --> 00:06:47.478
Life is good.

00:06:47.478 --> 00:06:51.360
Wonderful, then release,
rotate one ankle,

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.880
then the other.

00:06:54.104 --> 00:06:57.200
And then bring the
hands together at the heart.

00:06:58.372 --> 00:07:00.043
We take a deep breath in.

00:07:00.816 --> 00:07:04.975
And exhale,
bowing chin to chest.

00:07:04.975 --> 00:07:06.760
Namaste.

00:07:08.007 --> 00:07:11.380
(upbeat music)
