00:00:00.334 --> 00:00:02.541
- Hey everyone, and 
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.541 --> 00:00:04.860
I'm Adriene and today we have

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:08.842
another Yoga for Digestion

00:00:08.842 --> 00:00:11.824
or yoga for when 
you've just eaten too much.

00:00:11.824 --> 00:00:14.938
Life is good, it's all good. 
And guess what?

00:00:14.938 --> 00:00:18.198
The tools of yoga and your pal
Adriene, we're here to help.

00:00:18.198 --> 00:00:20.492
That's the beauty of 
the at-home yoga practice.

00:00:20.492 --> 00:00:22.546
So before you get all 
caught up in your head

00:00:22.546 --> 00:00:24.965
and go down that rabbit hole,

00:00:24.965 --> 00:00:26.967
let's just tend to 
the body with some breath

00:00:26.967 --> 00:00:29.720
and some good vibes 
and balance it out.

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:31.055
Hop into something extra comfy.

00:00:31.055 --> 00:00:34.642
I highly recommend 
drawstring pants. (laughs)

00:00:34.642 --> 00:00:36.018
Let's get started.

00:00:36.018 --> 00:00:40.386
(upbeat music)

00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:50.436
Alright buds, let's start

00:00:50.436 --> 00:00:54.602
in a nice comfortable 
seat of your choice.

00:00:54.602 --> 00:00:56.835
It's all good, man.

00:00:57.903 --> 00:01:00.948
Life is good and 
you know what's better?

00:01:00.948 --> 00:01:05.581
Eating, we're so lucky,
grateful that we even get food.

00:01:07.593 --> 00:01:09.278
So, if you're 
starting this practice

00:01:09.278 --> 00:01:11.388
feeling hard for yourself, 
let's try to shift that

00:01:11.388 --> 00:01:14.519
into A, gratitude

00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.399
for the gifts that 
we have received

00:01:17.399 --> 00:01:22.047
and also yeah, 
for food on the table period.

00:01:22.047 --> 00:01:25.050
And we'll just slowly just
try to shift our perspective,

00:01:25.050 --> 00:01:27.970
find what feels good, 
really quick easy breezy today.

00:01:27.970 --> 00:01:30.389
So sit up nice and 
tall and we'll start

00:01:30.389 --> 00:01:32.850
with just a little pranayama.

00:01:34.114 --> 00:01:37.941
A little moment 
of meditation, of pause

00:01:37.941 --> 00:01:41.195
to just really 
soften through the belly

00:01:41.195 --> 00:01:42.996
and sit up tall.

00:01:44.109 --> 00:01:47.182
Lengthen through the neck.

00:01:47.182 --> 00:01:50.979
Let your hands just rest
wherever they fall naturally.

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:57.101
And I just wanna keep 
it real, like it happens,

00:01:58.921 --> 00:02:01.516
you know, we get the 
best of ourselves sometimes.

00:02:01.516 --> 00:02:03.879
We have regrets.

00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.715
The best way to shift 
anything, in my opinion,

00:02:09.507 --> 00:02:14.196
is to think about being graceful

00:02:14.196 --> 00:02:17.845
and also grateful.

00:02:17.845 --> 00:02:21.015
So, the two Gs 
here to the rescue.

00:02:21.015 --> 00:02:21.849
And yeah, we're gonna do

00:02:21.849 --> 00:02:24.077
some digestive 
health stuff, of course, but

00:02:24.077 --> 00:02:27.563
start with the two Gs
and just find a little grace.

00:02:27.563 --> 00:02:30.608
So make sure you're 
not clenching anywhere.

00:02:30.608 --> 00:02:34.413
Especially in the lower belly.
Let your belly just hang.

00:02:36.126 --> 00:02:37.895
Be loose.

00:02:39.507 --> 00:02:43.511
And then, seriously, 
tap into the gratitude.

00:02:43.511 --> 00:02:46.552
What are you thankful for?

00:02:46.552 --> 00:02:51.541
Give thanks for the things that

00:02:51.541 --> 00:02:55.842
you have and the 
nourishment that you receive.

00:02:57.618 --> 00:03:01.764
And we'll cultivate a little
mindfulness here on the mat.

00:03:07.047 --> 00:03:10.127
Grace and gratitude.

00:03:10.127 --> 00:03:14.050
Gracefully and with gratitude.

00:03:19.011 --> 00:03:23.792
Moving in slow circles, 
inhale, come forward.

00:03:25.195 --> 00:03:28.073
Chest, heart smooths forward.

00:03:28.073 --> 00:03:31.160
Exhale, around and back.

00:03:32.746 --> 00:03:36.430
Notice how slow we're moving.
Inhale, come forward.

00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:37.538
You gotta bring 
the breath though

00:03:37.538 --> 00:03:40.679
and then exhale, 
around and back.

00:03:41.941 --> 00:03:43.423
Now, depending 
on how full you are,

00:03:43.423 --> 00:03:46.904
just see if you can 
really move from your center.

00:03:46.904 --> 00:03:47.947
Whatever that means to you.

00:03:47.947 --> 00:03:50.783
Maybe you picture your 
navel drawing a big circle.

00:03:50.783 --> 00:03:53.619
Maybe you like that 
image of the coffee grinder.

00:03:53.619 --> 00:03:55.554
Shout out to Bev.

00:03:57.745 --> 00:04:00.843
And then reverse your 
circle if you haven't already.

00:04:00.843 --> 00:04:05.042
Go the other way and start to
wake up the body even more.

00:04:05.042 --> 00:04:10.033
So find some extra 
movement here on this circle.

00:04:14.241 --> 00:04:16.327
Alright, then 
bring it all back in.

00:04:16.327 --> 00:04:18.036
Spiral it all back in.

00:04:18.036 --> 00:04:20.247
Bring the hands 
together at your heart.

00:04:20.247 --> 00:04:23.631
Grace and gratitude.
Inhale.

00:04:23.631 --> 00:04:25.716
Bow the head to your heart,
grace and gratitude.

00:04:25.716 --> 00:04:29.595
Feel that deep stretch 
in the back of the neck.

00:04:29.595 --> 00:04:32.444
Keep it soft and easy today.
(clears throat) Excuse me.

00:04:33.891 --> 00:04:36.185
And here you go, left hand's
gonna come down to the ground

00:04:36.185 --> 00:04:39.563
and right fingertips gonna
shoot over towards the left.

00:04:39.563 --> 00:04:43.734
And then you're just 
gonna alternate back and forth.

00:04:43.734 --> 00:04:45.569
And you can 
reach out diagonally,

00:04:45.569 --> 00:04:46.612
you can reach out to the side,

00:04:46.612 --> 00:04:49.281
you can take the classic,
traditional side body stretch,

00:04:49.281 --> 00:04:51.825
but just find a little 
back and forth movement

00:04:51.825 --> 00:04:53.663
that feels awesome.

00:04:55.169 --> 00:04:59.339
And try to keep your 
belly soft and the breath full.

00:05:02.990 --> 00:05:05.159
Then the next time 
your over to the right,

00:05:05.159 --> 00:05:06.750
go ahead and find a twist.

00:05:06.750 --> 00:05:10.203
So you'll inhale, lengthen.

00:05:10.203 --> 00:05:12.956
Then exhale, gentle twist.

00:05:12.956 --> 00:05:16.540
And then what really brings home

00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:19.301
the broccoli or the bacon here,

00:05:19.301 --> 00:05:21.449
that was dumb,
is the breath.

00:05:21.449 --> 00:05:23.360
So breath down into the belly,

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.058
this directional breath, 
breathing down.

00:05:26.058 --> 00:05:28.978
And then keep it smooth 
and even as you breathe out.

00:05:28.978 --> 00:05:32.523
Calming any stress or 
anxiety that might have come,

00:05:32.523 --> 00:05:35.943
that might have led 
you to this practice.

00:05:37.228 --> 00:05:39.694
Yeah, and then with 
nice, easy breeziness,

00:05:39.694 --> 00:05:40.570
just come back to center.

00:05:40.570 --> 00:05:42.220
We'll take the same 
thing on the other side.

00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:45.192
Super chill.
Inhale, lift the chest.

00:05:45.192 --> 00:05:47.419
And exhale to twist.

00:05:47.419 --> 00:05:51.274
Breathe downward into 
the belly as you breathe in.

00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:55.166
And then it comes up 
and out as you breathe out.

00:06:05.177 --> 00:06:07.221
Come back to center.

00:06:07.221 --> 00:06:08.556
And we repeat.

00:06:08.556 --> 00:06:10.182
Hands come to thighs and knees.

00:06:10.182 --> 00:06:13.019
We're gonna move in a circle.

00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:15.771
Different kinda 
breath this time.

00:06:17.124 --> 00:06:20.377
See if you can find a 
breath that really is deep

00:06:20.377 --> 00:06:21.892
and synchronizes 
with the movement

00:06:21.892 --> 00:06:23.207
in any way that feels good.

00:06:23.207 --> 00:06:24.412
So, there's no 
right or wrong here.

00:06:24.412 --> 00:06:26.884
Just move with your breath.

00:06:29.096 --> 00:06:30.639
Aw, and moving with your belly

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.808
and if any other sounds 
or expressions come out,

00:06:32.808 --> 00:06:34.643
go ahead and let them.

00:06:34.643 --> 00:06:37.605
Hey-o, sorry for the people
you're practicing with though,

00:06:37.605 --> 00:06:38.856
in case it's gas.

00:06:38.856 --> 00:06:41.358
And reverse your circle.

00:06:41.358 --> 00:06:42.902
And if you're 
practicing this alone,

00:06:42.902 --> 00:06:44.091
if you're practicing this alone,

00:06:44.091 --> 00:06:46.906
just get all like, 
oh, freaky-deaky.

00:06:46.906 --> 00:06:49.491
And if you're practicing 
this with friends or family,

00:06:49.491 --> 00:06:51.911
just go ahead and say 
hello to them right now,

00:06:51.911 --> 00:06:55.039
like, "What's up? So glad 
we're doing this together."

00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:57.207
Bring balance to the body.

00:06:58.469 --> 00:07:00.179
Yeah.

00:07:00.179 --> 00:07:01.637
Benji.

00:07:03.427 --> 00:07:05.653
Alright, and then 
bring it back to center

00:07:05.653 --> 00:07:07.529
and easy twist to the right.

00:07:07.529 --> 00:07:09.198
Tuck the chin, 
roll up through the spine.

00:07:09.198 --> 00:07:11.742
Big inhale, soft belly.

00:07:11.742 --> 00:07:14.194
Exhale, twist.

00:07:14.194 --> 00:07:16.020
Big inhale.

00:07:16.887 --> 00:07:18.502
Exhale, twist.

00:07:18.502 --> 00:07:19.849
Oh yeah.

00:07:19.849 --> 00:07:22.181
One more, inhale.

00:07:22.181 --> 00:07:24.630
Exhale, twist, and 
then come back to center,

00:07:24.630 --> 00:07:25.844
take it to the other side.

00:07:25.844 --> 00:07:27.637
Tuck the chin, 
roll up through the spine.

00:07:27.637 --> 00:07:28.847
Make sure you're 
not leaning back,

00:07:28.847 --> 00:07:31.558
so sit, sit up nice and tall
and lift your sternum up.

00:07:31.558 --> 00:07:34.437
Inhale and exhale.

00:07:34.437 --> 00:07:36.397
And so the 
breath is active here.

00:07:36.397 --> 00:07:39.108
Inhale to lift and 
lengthen, create space,

00:07:39.108 --> 00:07:41.739
and then exhale to twist.

00:07:44.892 --> 00:07:46.913
Never underestimate the power of

00:07:46.913 --> 00:07:51.925
breathing deeply 
and consciously in a twist.

00:07:57.131 --> 00:08:00.833
Alright, after three 
cycles of breath at least,

00:08:00.833 --> 00:08:02.626
go ahead and 
bring it back to center.

00:08:02.626 --> 00:08:05.294
Bring the palms together once
again, grace and gratitude.

00:08:05.294 --> 00:08:06.954
Inhale.

00:08:06.954 --> 00:08:09.579
Exhale, bow your 
head to your heart.

00:08:11.191 --> 00:08:14.361
Awesome, come to lie on 
your back, nice and easy.

00:08:14.361 --> 00:08:17.786
Ooh yeah.
Aw yeah, aw yeah.

00:08:17.786 --> 00:08:19.340
Sounds are 
welcome in this practice.

00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:21.884
This is at-home yoga, man.

00:08:21.884 --> 00:08:24.136
Come all the way on your back,

00:08:24.136 --> 00:08:26.305
and when you get there, 
snuggle your shoulder blades

00:08:26.305 --> 00:08:27.556
underneath your heart space.

00:08:27.556 --> 00:08:31.100
Get comfy, 
feel supported by the earth.

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.728
And then here we go.

00:08:32.728 --> 00:08:35.773
We're gonna hug both 
knees into the chest.

00:08:35.773 --> 00:08:38.942
Take your time, 
scoop the tailbone up.

00:08:38.942 --> 00:08:41.278
Then hold onto your right knee,

00:08:41.278 --> 00:08:43.155
and send the left 
leg out long, all the way.

00:08:43.155 --> 00:08:46.073
Let your heel kiss the ground.

00:08:46.073 --> 00:08:48.690
Then squeeze your 
right knee into your chest.

00:08:48.690 --> 00:08:52.455
Take big ol' breath in.

00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:53.556
And then as you exhale,

00:08:53.556 --> 00:08:57.598
slowly peel your 
nose up towards your knee.

00:08:57.598 --> 00:09:00.818
Breathing deep, try to keep
the skin of the face soft.

00:09:00.818 --> 00:09:02.445
You can rotate the 
right ankle one way

00:09:02.445 --> 00:09:05.654
and then the other, if you want.

00:09:05.654 --> 00:09:07.586
Oh yeah, can you 
hear my stomach?

00:09:07.586 --> 00:09:10.069
Inhale.

00:09:10.069 --> 00:09:12.112
And exhale to release.

00:09:12.112 --> 00:09:13.989
Great, release 
the right foot down.

00:09:13.989 --> 00:09:16.283
Hug the left 
knee into the chest,

00:09:16.283 --> 00:09:19.745
and slowly extend 
the right leg out long.

00:09:19.745 --> 00:09:23.082
Wind relieving pose, 
squeeze the left knee in.

00:09:23.082 --> 00:09:25.292
I'm not playin' 
dude, this is in the books.

00:09:25.292 --> 00:09:27.002
This isn't like 
some weird Adriene stuff.

00:09:27.002 --> 00:09:29.255
This is in the books.

00:09:29.255 --> 00:09:31.940
Squeeze, inhale.

00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:38.222
Slow exhale, slow peeling of
the head, neck, shoulders up.

00:09:38.222 --> 00:09:40.367
Nose toward the knee.

00:09:43.471 --> 00:09:46.307
Keep the skin of 
the face soft. Breathe.

00:09:46.307 --> 00:09:50.519
So, we're creating compression 
now on the left side.

00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.021
The stomach, you always wanna do

00:09:52.021 --> 00:09:53.898
right knee up to the chest first

00:09:53.898 --> 00:09:56.005
in case you're 
doin' this freestyle,

00:09:56.005 --> 00:09:59.028
willy nilly on 
your own without me,

00:09:59.028 --> 00:10:01.175
which I support.

00:10:01.175 --> 00:10:02.760
Inhale.

00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:04.591
Exhale to release.

00:10:04.591 --> 00:10:07.181
Oh, yeah.
(chuckles)

00:10:07.181 --> 00:10:08.694
Bring the left foot 
to the ground,

00:10:08.694 --> 00:10:10.744
right foot to the ground.

00:10:10.744 --> 00:10:12.090
Take a breather, 
hands on the belly.

00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:14.634
You're gonna walk the 
feet as wide as your yoga mat

00:10:14.634 --> 00:10:15.927
and then bring 
the knees into touch.

00:10:15.927 --> 00:10:19.430
So you can just 
soften through your belly.

00:10:20.866 --> 00:10:22.334
Breathe deep, just breathe.

00:10:22.334 --> 00:10:24.911
Close your eyes.
We're almost done.

00:10:29.113 --> 00:10:32.658
Allow the body to go 
through its different stages.

00:10:32.658 --> 00:10:35.536
That ain't never gonna change.

00:10:35.536 --> 00:10:38.252
So don't beat yourself up,
don't be too hard on yourself.

00:10:38.252 --> 00:10:41.088
Be grateful, be graceful,

00:10:41.088 --> 00:10:44.133
and keep creating 
grooves and patterns that just

00:10:44.133 --> 00:10:48.464
keep bringing you 
back to what feels good.

00:10:48.464 --> 00:10:50.815
Alright, press up 
off the tippy toes

00:10:50.815 --> 00:10:52.375
and lift the 
knees up to the chest.

00:10:52.375 --> 00:10:53.755
One final ditty.

00:10:53.755 --> 00:10:56.696
We're gonna take the 
knees over towards the left

00:10:56.696 --> 00:10:58.114
and then you're 
gonna open your elbows up

00:10:58.114 --> 00:11:00.655
to cactus arms or football,

00:11:00.655 --> 00:11:03.591
Post-Thanksgiving, if you're 
doing this in real time,

00:11:03.591 --> 00:11:06.458
then this is appropriate.

00:11:06.458 --> 00:11:10.239
Ah, football goal post arms.

00:11:10.239 --> 00:11:13.909
If that ain't your 
thing, cactus arms.

00:11:13.909 --> 00:11:15.327
Breathe into your belly.

00:11:15.327 --> 00:11:18.747
If you like, 
turn onto your right ear.

00:11:18.747 --> 00:11:20.819
Close your eyes.

00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:38.819
Inhale.

00:11:38.819 --> 00:11:41.416
Exhale, bring it back to center,

00:11:41.416 --> 00:11:43.167
and take it onto the other side.

00:11:43.167 --> 00:11:44.836
Last one, you got it.

00:11:44.836 --> 00:11:46.254
Try to bring your 
left shoulder to the ground

00:11:46.254 --> 00:11:47.547
as you turn onto your left ear.

00:11:47.547 --> 00:11:50.478
Breathe down into your belly.

00:12:02.997 --> 00:12:04.624
And back to center.

00:12:04.624 --> 00:12:06.827
One more time, 
squeeze the right knee in.

00:12:06.827 --> 00:12:08.341
Right Side, left leg out.

00:12:08.341 --> 00:12:10.000
You can also do 
left leg on the ground,

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.883
I mean, left foot on the ground.

00:12:12.883 --> 00:12:14.993
Breathe.

00:12:18.868 --> 00:12:21.912
And then right 
leg out, left leg in.

00:12:21.912 --> 00:12:23.775
Breathe.

00:12:26.335 --> 00:12:28.403
Both knees in, squeeze.

00:12:29.837 --> 00:12:33.215
And exhale to release 
everything to the ground.

00:12:33.215 --> 00:12:36.466
Corpse Pose, yes, 
rock this Corpse Pose.

00:12:36.466 --> 00:12:39.161
Inhale, lots of love in,
find a little smile.

00:12:39.161 --> 00:12:40.456
It's all good, baby.

00:12:40.456 --> 00:12:43.584
And then exhale 
just to relax everything.

00:12:43.584 --> 00:12:46.336
Way to go for taking 
time to do this video.

00:12:46.336 --> 00:12:47.838
Take some more 
time for yourself.

00:12:47.838 --> 00:12:51.152
You'll bounce back.
Your body will balance out.

00:12:51.152 --> 00:12:53.165
The best thing you 
can do for yourself

00:12:53.165 --> 00:12:55.050
is be graceful and grateful

00:12:55.050 --> 00:12:57.878
and enjoy every 
second of all the gifts

00:12:57.878 --> 00:12:59.943
that life is bringing you,

00:12:59.943 --> 00:13:02.850
even the ones 
that feel a little eh.

00:13:02.850 --> 00:13:05.415
Just know it's all a gift.
It's all a tool.

00:13:05.415 --> 00:13:08.835
It's all an 
opportunity to learn.

00:13:08.835 --> 00:13:11.157
And tomorrow's 
a new day. Deep breath.

00:13:12.593 --> 00:13:14.426
And exhale.

00:13:14.426 --> 00:13:15.722
My stomach's making noises.

00:13:15.722 --> 00:13:18.652
Bring the hands together

00:13:18.652 --> 00:13:21.371
and we say,

00:13:21.371 --> 00:13:23.402
Namaste.

00:13:24.002 --> 00:13:27.913
(upbeat music)
