00:00:00.103 --> 00:00:02.760
- Hello everyone,
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:03.800
Thank you for being here.

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:07.520
Per your request,
we have a short wake up video.

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:11.280
And I'm delighted because this
isn't just mindless stretching.

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:12.800
This is something to kind of

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.200
wake up the spirit
and the emotional side,

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.120
mental side, too, 
not just our muscles.

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.026
So hop into something
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:25.026 --> 00:00:28.555
(upbeat music)

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.960
Alright, come on
down to the ground.

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.880
We're gonna actually start

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.869
in a cross-legged seat
in the middle of the mat.

00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:48.800
Just bring the
palms to the knees,

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:50.240
sit up nice and tall,

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.960
take a deep breath in and
lift your chest up towards the sky.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.280
Gently lift your
chin and your nose.

00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.752
Careful not to crunch
in the back of the neck.

00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:04.920
And then round
through the spine.

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.520
Breathe out,
draw the chin to the chest.

00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:11.813
Just catch a little
weight in the palms here.

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.773
And again, inhale, lifting the
chest, sitting up nice and tall.

00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:23.920
And then exhale,
rounding through the spine,

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.800
chin to chest.

00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:31.516
Pressing the palms
into the kneecaps, or pulling.

00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:34.360
Just want to get a
little bit of traction there.

00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:37.155
One more time, inhale, lift.

00:01:39.290 --> 00:01:43.171
And exhale, round.

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.160
Good, now inhale,
come to center.

00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:50.510
Let's bring the palms
together in Anjuli Mudra.

00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:54.000
Can close your eyes here.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.440
Or soften your gaze.

00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:57.000
Take a deep, deep, deep,

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.840
deepest breath you've
taken all morning, all day, in.

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.480
And this time as you exhale,
slow everything down.

00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:06.480
Drop the shoulders.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.103
See if you can
extend your exhale.

00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:16.128
And again, inhale in deeply.

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:24.160
And exhale,
extending that exhalation,

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:28.367
making it
longer than the inhale.

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.334
One more time, just a nice,
full, conscious breath.

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.448
Waking up our spirit,
that connection

00:02:42.163 --> 00:02:44.440
to spirit with the breath.

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:48.911
And exhale, long and slow.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.000
Great, if you like, you can
set a little intention here.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.760
Maybe it's just one
word or it's a sentence.

00:03:03.176 --> 00:03:05.480
And just trust, maybe the 
first thing that came up,

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:08.192
maybe trust that that's it.

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.000
Great, bat the eyelashes open.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.440
We're gonna start
to rub the palms.

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:18.220
Benji has come
front and center now.

00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:19.960
(laughs) Benji, you 
wanna come over here?

00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.600
Come here!
Go lay down over here.

00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:25.737
Rub the palms together,
start to deepen your breath.

00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:28.240
And then when you're ready,

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.071
we're gonna come
forward onto all fours.

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.840
Curl the toes under and

00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.640
slowly peel the hips up
to a Downward Facing Dog.

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:42.580
Now let this be a fluid dog.

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:45.480
(laughs) So bend at the knees,

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:48.240
shift your weight from
left to right in the shoulders,

00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.720
feel a stretch
in that side body.

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:53.581
You can nod the
head a little yes.

00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:57.821
And then slowly, no.

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:01.920
Deep breath in.

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:03.000
And as you exhale,

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.440
walk the hands all the way up
to the front edge of the mat,

00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:08.400
feet hip width apart.

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.080
Let the weight of
your head hang over,

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.240
bend your knees slightly
or maybe generously here

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.040
depending on how you're
feeling in your low back.

00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.720
This time as you inhale,
see if you can listen to the

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.214
sound of your
breath as you breathe in.

00:04:28.090 --> 00:04:32.472
And listen to the sound of
your breath as you breathe out.

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.160
Ground through all
four corners of the feet.

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.720
Slowly start to
roll up with bent knees,

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.480
stacking the spine
one vertebra at a time.

00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.720
You're gonna roll up
to standing, Mountain Pose.

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.880
Loop the shoulders 
forward, up and back.

00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:51.320
Stand up nice and tall.

00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:52.720
Take a deep breath in as you

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.040
lengthen through
the crown of the head.

00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:55.480
Then you're just
gonna go right back down,

00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.080
starting with the
chin to the chest.

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:00.400
A slow roll down of the spine,

00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:01.320
and see if you can really

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:06.220
articulate through 
the vertebra here.

00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:08.480
And then 
eventually we'll release,

00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:13.440
come all the way back
down to your Forward Fold.

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:17.480
Lovely, from here, walk the
feet a little closer together,

00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.160
then step your right foot back

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.240
and lower your
right knee to the ground.

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.440
Beautiful, from here,
palms come together,

00:05:24.440 --> 00:05:28.840
Anjuli Mudra once again,
we inhale in.

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:31.720
Exhale, relax the shoulders,
breathe here.

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.480
Whoa, find your core.
(laughs) Inhale in again.

00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.760
Exhale, you're gonna
straighten your front leg,

00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:43.360
but keep your front foot
on the ground if you can.

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.800
Breathing in here, feeling that
deep stretch in the right quad.

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.400
If you're not feeling it,

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:50.360
lengthen your tailbone down

00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.520
towards the
ground just a little bit.

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:55.320
Good, inhale in.

00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:57.960
Exhale, come all the
way back into your lunge.

00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:01.520
We're gonna come to
Downward Facing Dog.

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:03.960
You're gonna bump
the hips to the left

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:08.560
and then take your gaze and
look towards your left hip.

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.920
Press into your right palm
and then switch to the other side,

00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.440
bump the hips to the right,
turn to look towards your

00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:19.675
right hip and press
into your left palm.

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:23.440
Great, bring it back to center.

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:24.960
Palms press into the earth,

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:27.960
curl the toes under and we
lift the hips up high and back,

00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:29.958
Downward Facing Dog.

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.200
From here we step the
right foot up into the lunge,

00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:36.600
lower the left knee.

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:38.320
Gather that
connection to your core,

00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:40.760
inner thighs squeeze in 
towards the midline,

00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:44.960
and we rise up,
palms together, Anjuli Mudra.

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:47.640
Keep the front knee bent here
at first as we lift the chest,

00:06:47.640 --> 00:06:48.960
find length in the spine,

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:53.139
feel that stretch 
through the psoas here,

00:06:56.078 --> 00:06:58.080
hip flexor.

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:01.960
Nice, and then slow and steady,
keep that core connection,

00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:05.470
you're gonna slowly just
lift up through the heart

00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:08.360
and straighten that front leg.

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.280
Try to press down through
your right big toe mound.

00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:14.920
Feel this
connection to your quad.

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.000
Turn that left glute on.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.730
And just notice if 
your hips feel like they're

00:07:19.730 --> 00:07:21.880
in two different 
planes of space here.

00:07:21.880 --> 00:07:25.520
Pull the right hip crease back

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:29.320
and lengthen the tailbone
down to level it out just a bit.

00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:34.680
Ooh, alright, inhale in.

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.720
Exhale, come forward.

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.920
Plant the palms,
and we'll come to all fours.

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.400
From here, you're gonna
walk the knees together.

00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:45.960
Lift the ankles up and you
can cross them if you like,

00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:48.160
or not, just squeeze
the arches together.

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.680
Inhale in, look forward.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.140
Exhale, you're gonna 
bend the elbows halfway,

00:07:52.140 --> 00:07:54.400
and then press
back up, just three of these.

00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:57.080
Nice and slow with control.
Focus on the quality.

00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:59.480
A little half push-up.

00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:00.920
Half-half push-up.

00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:02.775
And last one.

00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:05.470
Beautiful.
On your next one,

00:08:05.470 --> 00:08:07.480
come all the way 
down to the ground.

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.040
Press the tops of
the feet into the earth.

00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.680
Inhale, reach the
fingertips forward.

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.000
Exhale, send them back.

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.600
Heart is lifted, shoulders
are lifted, gaze is down.

00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.440
Inhale to reach forward.

00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:22.760
Exhale to send it back.

00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:25.000
Press into the pubic bone.

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.880
One more time,
inhale to reach forward.

00:08:27.880 --> 00:08:30.309
Exhale to send it back.

00:08:30.309 --> 00:08:32.880
Now bring the hands
underneath the shoulders.

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:34.680
Squeeze the
elbows in the side body.

00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:37.720
Inhale, lift the
chest up for Cobra.

00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.600
Exhale, release everything down.

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.600
Great, from here
press back up to all fours.

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.840
And your choice,
you can walk the knees together

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.560
or keep them wide
for Child's Pose.

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:54.080
So, Balasana or
Extended Child's Pose.

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.000
Round the shoulders in.

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.706
Connect back to your intention
and the sound of your breath.

00:09:03.400 --> 00:09:06.235
Inhaling, feeling the expansion

00:09:06.235 --> 00:09:09.402
of that breath in internally.

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.640
And exhaling, feeling that

00:09:15.640 --> 00:09:19.985
ability to soften as 
well and surrender.

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.450
Couple more
breaths just like that.

00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:40.169
And then slowly roll it up.

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.000
And if your knees are not
wide here in Extended Child's Pose,

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.040
go ahead and widen them now.

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:48.760
We're gonna bring
the palms forward,

00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:52.200
but with the
fingertips facing inward.

00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.800
So kind of like Lion's Pose,

00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:57.160
but we're coming
up onto all fours.

00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:58.458
Great, and then 
we're just gonna take it in

00:09:58.458 --> 00:10:02.730
some gentle circles one way,
and then the other.

00:10:02.730 --> 00:10:06.320
And as you do this
move gently and sweetly,

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.371
don't press or force anything.

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.515
Reverse the circle
if you haven't already.

00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:23.080
And then we'll release that.

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.720
Palms come back to the mat,
fingertips forward.

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.040
Walk the knees
underneath the hips,

00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:29.280
curl the toes under,

00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:31.000
and send the hips
up high and back,

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.760
Downward Facing Dog once again.

00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:36.400
Inhale in.

00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:37.600
Lift both heels.

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.120
Come up onto the tippy-tip toes.

00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.880
Exhale, drop the heels
slowly and with control.

00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:43.960
Almost like you're reaching

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.880
rather than just dropping
and letting gravity do the work.

00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:50.840
Again, inhale, lift up 
as high as you can go.

00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.197
Exhale, reach down and back.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.059
Inhale, lift up.

00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.800
And exhale, reach down and back.

00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:02.920
Awesome.

00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:05.800
Slowly lower the knees,
back to the mat.

00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:08.360
Cross the
ankles once again here.

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.040
And we're gonna slide back

00:11:10.040 --> 00:11:14.240
through to our cross-legged
seat where we began.

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.880
Take a twist to the left,

00:11:15.880 --> 00:11:17.960
right hand comes
to the left palm.

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.384
Sit up nice and tall,
breathe in.

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.785
Breathe out.

00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:28.208
And then a twist to the right.

00:11:29.560 --> 00:11:33.447
Lengthening through the spine,
breathe in deeply.

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.327
And breathe out.

00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:43.680
Great, then sit up nice
and tall, come back to center.

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:47.330
We're gonna end 
with a little energizing

00:11:47.330 --> 00:11:49.600
breath pattern.

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:50.400
So you're gonna bring your

00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:53.000
fingertips to
your shoulders here,

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.660
sit up nice and tall.

00:11:54.660 --> 00:11:56.520
I've said that a million times,
but sit up tall.

00:11:56.520 --> 00:11:58.320
So if you're tired,
we tend to collapse,

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.880
so we can start to use these
practices to slowly find that

00:12:01.880 --> 00:12:06.520
posture that I know we
all desire to maintain.

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:08.680
Alright, hug the low
ribs in for a little support.

00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:10.600
And for just 20 seconds here,

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.960
we're gonna start a
little movement left to right.

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.400
Find what feels good,
pace-wise, rhythm-wise.

00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:20.840
And find what feels
good with your breath.

00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.320
Maybe it's short and sharp.

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.158
Maybe it's long and smooth.

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.581
Hopefully by now
you're in a groove.

00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:43.510
Keep both sits bones
rooted to the mat for

00:12:43.510 --> 00:12:45.560
five,

00:12:45.560 --> 00:12:48.150
four,

00:12:48.150 --> 00:12:50.649
three, whoo.

00:12:50.649 --> 00:12:53.080
Two, and one.

00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.120
Release the arms, reach all
the way up towards the sky.

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.920
Palms come together and
slide down into home base.

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:03.360
Anjali Mudra.

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.040
You can close your eyes here.

00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:07.489
Just notice how you feel.

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.880
Thank you so much for sharing

00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:17.920
your valuable time and energy
with me and with this community.

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:21.320
I hope you have an
amazing rest of your day.

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.090
Namaste.

00:13:24.413 --> 00:13:29.034
(upbeat music)
