00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.690
- Hey everyone.

00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:02.600
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.
I'm Adriene.

00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.766
Today we have a quick little
ditty to get the juices flowing.

00:00:05.766 --> 00:00:07.920
So this is a great thing to
do first thing in the morning.

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:09.480
This is also an 
awesome thing to do

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.420
if you are at work and
you need a quick little break

00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:15.030
or you're a student and you
want to take a little study

00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:18.500
break or break from studying
to get the juices flowing.

00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.310
This is also great if you're
just needing a little

00:00:21.310 --> 00:00:24.030
creativity in your life or 
you're feeling a little anxious.

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:27.433
So let's hop on the mat
and get the juices flowing.

00:00:27.433 --> 00:00:30.775
(upbeat music)

00:00:38.856 --> 00:00:43.320
So let's begin today 
standing up nice and tall,

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.030
feet hip width apart or
flush together, you decide.

00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:48.360
But just mindful footing here.

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:51.576
Stand up nice and tall and
let's get a big stretch here,

00:00:51.576 --> 00:00:54.540
reaching up towards the sky,
toes pointing forward.

00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:56.480
Take a big breath in.

00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:58.780
And then exhale, 
release it down.

00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:01.600
Interlace the
fingertips behind the tail.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.690
Open your chest and
again lift and lengthen up.

00:01:04.690 --> 00:01:06.600
Stretch up through
the crown of the head,

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.060
knuckles down towards the earth.

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.390
And then release. Awesome.
Then give yourself a big hug.

00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:14.520
Inhale, lift your heart.

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:16.240
Lift your elbows.

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:18.450
Exhale, release.

00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:19.840
And opposite arm
on top this time.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.411
Give yourself a big hug.

00:01:21.411 --> 00:01:25.030
Inhale, lift your heart,
elbows up.

00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:27.370
And then release.

00:01:27.370 --> 00:01:30.890
Awesome. Left hand.
Excuse me, allergies.

00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:32.140
Left hand to the waistline.

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:34.300
Right hand is gonna go
up and over nice and easy,

00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:35.681
side body stretch.

00:01:35.681 --> 00:01:37.383
Inhale in.

00:01:37.383 --> 00:01:39.214
Exhale, release.

00:01:39.214 --> 00:01:40.760
And to the other side.

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.332
Deep breathe in as you stretch.
Inhale in.

00:01:44.332 --> 00:01:46.570
And exhale, release.

00:01:46.570 --> 00:01:49.630
Awesome. Woosh the arms
forward, up and back.

00:01:49.630 --> 00:01:51.707
Big breath in.

00:01:51.707 --> 00:01:57.176
And exhale all the way down 
to a Forward Fold, Uttanasana.

00:01:57.176 --> 00:01:59.020
Toes are still
pointing forward here.

00:01:59.020 --> 00:02:03.276
You might grab the elbows,
rock a little side to side.

00:02:03.276 --> 00:02:06.578
Inhale, lift up 
to your flat back.

00:02:06.578 --> 00:02:09.380
And then exhale, release.

00:02:09.380 --> 00:02:10.560
Tuck the chin to the chest,

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.310
bend the knees generously,
my friends,

00:02:12.310 --> 00:02:15.960
and slowly roll it up,
connecting with your breath.

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.972
Making the most of
your time here on the mat.

00:02:19.972 --> 00:02:21.190
And then we'll roll it up to

00:02:21.190 --> 00:02:25.030
Mountain and loop the
shoulders forward, up and back.

00:02:25.030 --> 00:02:26.436
Check in with the neck.

00:02:26.436 --> 00:02:28.434
Check in with the pelvis.

00:02:28.434 --> 00:02:30.325
Lower back supported here.

00:02:30.325 --> 00:02:32.430
Big breath in.

00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:35.652
And big breath out.

00:02:35.652 --> 00:02:37.019
Awesome.

00:02:37.019 --> 00:02:41.258
We're gonna step the right foot
forward and the left foot back.

00:02:41.258 --> 00:02:45.520
Coming into a Warrior II here,
sinking into it with a

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.870
mindfulness so if
it's early early morning,

00:02:47.870 --> 00:02:49.790
and you haven't
had your coffee yet

00:02:49.790 --> 00:02:51.100
or you haven't
had your juice yet,

00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:55.200
just take her easy.
Take it nice and slow.

00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:58.820
When you're ready, we'll
slowly bend that front knee

00:02:58.820 --> 00:03:03.441
and begin to scoop the 
tailbone under, lift your heart.

00:03:03.441 --> 00:03:06.140
Find Warrior II,
nice and strong.

00:03:06.140 --> 00:03:07.640
I can hear Benji
in the background.

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:10.200
Maybe you have your
kids in the other room.

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:11.620
Maybe there are other distractions

00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:13.890
and you're just 
breathing deep knowing that

00:03:13.890 --> 00:03:16.230
when you take
this time for yourself,

00:03:16.230 --> 00:03:19.790
you're able to open yourself
up to the ones you love,

00:03:19.790 --> 00:03:21.297
help others.

00:03:21.297 --> 00:03:23.200
One more breath here.
You got it.

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.740
Then reach the right fingertips
forward, up and back,

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:28.025
Peaceful Warrior.

00:03:28.025 --> 00:03:29.530
Inhale, open your heart.

00:03:29.530 --> 00:03:31.750
Sink deep into that front knee.

00:03:34.625 --> 00:03:36.880
Exhale, 
straighten the front leg.

00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:40.257
Slowly, we're gonna tip
the right fingertips forward.

00:03:40.257 --> 00:03:45.153
Left hip goes back as we come
into Trikonasana, Triangle Pose.

00:03:45.153 --> 00:03:47.164
Opening up through the chest.

00:03:47.164 --> 00:03:49.349
Left fingertips
up towards the sky.

00:03:49.349 --> 00:03:54.150
Breath deep here, Triangle.
Strong grounding in the legs.

00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:56.740
Inhale in, remember your neck.

00:03:56.740 --> 00:04:00.230
Right rib cage scoops up to
get a little sunshine here.

00:04:00.230 --> 00:04:02.340
Deep breath in.

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:03.740
And then exhale.

00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:06.780
We'll slowly
bend that right knee,

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:12.043
pivot everything
down to a nice low lunge.

00:04:12.043 --> 00:04:13.700
Deep breath in.

00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:16.040
Long breath out.

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.130
Awesome. Step that 
back foot up to meet the front,

00:04:19.130 --> 00:04:21.310
Forward Fold.

00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:23.680
Inhale, lift up halfway.

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.310
And exhale, down you go.

00:04:25.310 --> 00:04:28.094
Repeating the
roll up from before.

00:04:28.094 --> 00:04:30.903
Stacking the spine.

00:04:30.903 --> 00:04:33.750
And we'll roll
it up to standing.

00:04:37.662 --> 00:04:39.530
Awesome, and now same 
thing on the other side.

00:04:39.530 --> 00:04:42.370
We're gonna step
the left foot front,

00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:45.800
right foot back
come into your Warrior II.

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.450
If you're new to the practice,
there's a Foundations of Yoga

00:04:48.450 --> 00:04:50.540
video for Warrior II
you can check out.

00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:52.250
We breath deep in here.

00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:54.960
Sink down low.
Take your time getting into it.

00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:58.460
Cultivating a worthy
experience for yourself.

00:04:58.460 --> 00:05:01.760
So for me that means,
really just breathing deep and

00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:06.300
noticing this body

00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:08.180
where it's at today 
or this morning,

00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:10.170
whenever you're practicing.

00:05:10.170 --> 00:05:12.650
Notice where you're at today.

00:05:12.650 --> 00:05:14.810
Kind of holding space 
for yourself here.

00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:17.930
Tuck the tailbone
and lift your heart.

00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:19.305
And then Peaceful Warrior,

00:05:19.305 --> 00:05:21.440
we reach the left fingertips
forward, up and back.

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.420
The tendency here is to strain

00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:25.040
through that front
leg which might feel good

00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.750
and you can do that,
but otherwise,

00:05:26.750 --> 00:05:30.150
maybe we stay nice 
and bent in the front knee.

00:05:30.150 --> 00:05:31.994
Inhale in.

00:05:31.994 --> 00:05:33.540
Exhale.

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:36.020
Trikonasana, straighten
through the front leg,

00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:38.180
tipping the
right hip point back.

00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:41.590
We come to teeter-
totter in our Triangle here.

00:05:41.590 --> 00:05:43.460
That back thigh is spiraling in

00:05:43.460 --> 00:05:45.170
and out towards
the back of the mat.

00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:47.020
If you want more of
a core workout here,

00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:49.220
you can resist the urge to

00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:53.660
collapse onto your shin
or the earth and hold strong.

00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:55.310
Big breaths here.
You got it.

00:05:55.310 --> 00:05:57.794
Extension through the neck.

00:05:57.794 --> 00:06:00.260
One more big breath in and out.

00:06:03.976 --> 00:06:06.914
Awesome. Then soften
through that left knee,

00:06:06.914 --> 00:06:11.272
pivot on the back foot
and come to your low lunge.

00:06:13.056 --> 00:06:15.230
Inhale in.

00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:17.580
Exhale, 
this time plant the palms,

00:06:17.580 --> 00:06:21.188
step the left toes back,
Downward Facing Dog.

00:06:21.188 --> 00:06:24.910
We gotta have one juicy
Downward Facing Dog in here.

00:06:24.910 --> 00:06:27.705
Stretching out the back body, 
melting the heart.

00:06:27.705 --> 00:06:28.940
Work it out here.

00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:32.252
And then eventually
come to a place of stillness.

00:06:40.028 --> 00:06:42.920
Then when you feel satisfied,
we'll walk the palms,

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.889
the hands back up
towards the toes.

00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:47.120
Once again, inhale,

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.380
lift to that flat back,
my friends.

00:06:49.380 --> 00:06:52.104
And exhale, fold.

00:06:52.104 --> 00:06:54.610
And we roll it up.

00:06:56.013 --> 00:06:58.050
Rolling all the
way up to standing.

00:06:58.050 --> 00:07:00.040
Taking your time.

00:07:02.145 --> 00:07:03.380
Pressing into the feet.

00:07:03.380 --> 00:07:07.500
Inhale, reach the 
arms up and overhead.

00:07:08.982 --> 00:07:10.460
Take your gaze all the way up.

00:07:10.460 --> 00:07:14.504
Fill with energy,
with love, with gratitude.

00:07:14.504 --> 00:07:17.900
And then you
can use your exhale.

00:07:17.900 --> 00:07:18.890
You can move in your own time

00:07:18.890 --> 00:07:20.600
to bring the
palms back to the heart.

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.727
Just whenever you're ready.

00:07:23.727 --> 00:07:25.713
Cool.

00:07:25.713 --> 00:07:27.320
If you're practicing 
this in the morning,

00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:29.450
maybe you're like,
crack your knuckles,

00:07:29.450 --> 00:07:31.960
ready to go.
Take care of business.

00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:35.327
If you have a little more time,
you might use this time here

00:07:35.327 --> 00:07:39.170
to practice a balancing pose
or maybe you want to do some

00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:41.660
jumping jacks
or some bunny hops.

00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:43.100
Or if you want to
work on your core,

00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:45.750
maybe you do some Side Plank.

00:07:45.750 --> 00:07:47.330
Again, if you're really busy

00:07:47.330 --> 00:07:49.140
and that's all the
time you have for today,

00:07:49.140 --> 00:07:51.050
take a second here,
just a quiet moment to

00:07:51.050 --> 00:07:53.970
bow your head to your hands
or your head to your heart.

00:07:56.737 --> 00:07:58.910
And I will pass
the torch onto you.

00:07:58.910 --> 00:07:59.930
Take it away from here.

00:07:59.930 --> 00:08:01.820
Have an awesome day,
rest of the day,

00:08:01.820 --> 00:08:03.120
wherever you are.

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.171
Free Yoga
videos every Wednesday.

00:08:05.171 --> 00:08:06.140
Take good care, everyone.

00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:08.379
I'm gonna
practice some more myself.

00:08:13.469 --> 00:08:17.973
(upbeat music)
