00:00:00.161 --> 00:00:03.200
- Hello, my sweet
friends and welcome to Flow,

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:05.720
A 30 Day Yoga Journey.

00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:08.120
It is Day 0.

00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:10.320
What is Day 0 you may ask?

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.257
Well, let's find out together.

00:00:12.257 --> 00:00:15.824
(light rhythmic music)

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.600
Alright, if you're
still watching this, you rock.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.800
This is a welcome video
for the 30 Day Yoga Journey.

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.080
This is like an orientation day.

00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:47.040
A get ready,
get set day, prepare,

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.960
tell your loved ones you're
committing to a journey that

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.480
is all about falling

00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:56.680
into a flow that serves.

00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:00.400
So we live in a world that 
is full of distractions and

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:03.440
it has come 
quite common to make

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:05.840
some choices
that are unconscious,

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.940
you're kind of moving 
and grooving so fast

00:01:07.940 --> 00:01:11.240
or you're being 
fed a lot of information.

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:15.160
This journey is really about
taking two things for yourself,

00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:17.040
time and space.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.840
And in this time and space
that we're gonna share together,

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.690
we're gonna create 
a more fluid conversation

00:01:22.690 --> 00:01:24.760
between the mind 
and the heart and

00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.720
take care of
your bod as well, of course.

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.680
So that's it. Today is 
really an orientation day.

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.680
I like this video.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.800
It's short, it's sweet, just
in case you weren't quite ready

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:38.680
to begin it gives you a
day for breathing room.

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.760
I really believe in
the power of community.

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.200
This is my 10th time to do this

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.920
30 Day Yoga Journey
as a project, as an offering,

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.480
and I've seen it with
my own heart, my own eyes,

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.200
the connection that it
serves individuals at home,

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.560
but also the way it connects
us to other people that we would

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.800
have normally never even
think to be connected with.

00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:04.160
It's really special
and really powerful

00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:07.040
and so I hope 
you enjoy this ride.

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.760
It will be challenging at times
to show up, but hear me now:

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.680
The hardest part is showing up.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.560
If you can just get to the mat,
the two of us,

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.080
and maybe my
trusty assistant here,

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.280
we'll figure it out together.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.880
I'm really excited
about this year's program.

00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:27.720
It is a little bit
different than the years past,

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:30.640
this one focuses on the
energetic body quite a bit.

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:32.560
So while the title may make you

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.560
think that it's 30 days
of vinyasa flow, it's not.

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.920
You'll see a lot of vinyasa, 
almost in every video,

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:43.480
but this really is about taking
your practice to the next level.

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:45.640
And it's about 
showing up each day

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:47.600
and listening to
your body where it's at.

00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.560
So you're not
being told what to do,

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.240
but rather
given the opportunity,

00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.240
the time and space,
to find what feels good and

00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.160
find balance in
all parts of the self,

00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:00.081
especially that nervous system.

00:03:00.081 --> 00:03:01.920
Okay, some helpful tips that

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:05.240
you probably already know
but just in case you don't,

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.120
you don't need anything
fancy for this program.

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.320
You don't need any equipment.

00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:11.000
You don't even
really need a yoga mat.

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.920
You just need a hard surface.

00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:16.000
I like to suggest
bringing a blanket or a block

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:16.890
but if you don't 
have those things,

00:03:16.890 --> 00:03:18.800
you can use a towel,

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.260
you can use a

00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:25.680
big, thick book 
(laughs) for a prop and

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.000
I really just want
to stress that enough.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.000
You don't need
any fancy clothes.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.640
You can wear anything that
you can move in comfortably and

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:35.520
you don't need a clean
space or a quiet sanctuary.

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.680
We will cultivate that
from the inside out together.

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.160
Trust me.

00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:42.040
I do think it is always nice to

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:44.200
invite people to
join you on this journey.

00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:45.790
It's great to 
have the accountability

00:03:45.790 --> 00:03:48.200
but also it creates 
the ripple effect that

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:52.760
I think this project has
become so well known for.

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:56.000
So if you want to be a part
of that beautiful ripple effect,

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.680
invite your friends,
invite your family,

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.920
invite your coworkers to
go on this journey with you.

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:02.920
It costs nothing,

00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:06.680
just a little bit of your
valuable time and energy,

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.800
but it's all here, of course,
for everyone to have the same

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.640
opportunity to
practice together.

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:16.000
Alright, if you miss a day, 
don't skip that day.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.360
Go back and do that day.

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.960
This journey does
read like a good book.

00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:21.880
Each practice is like a

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:25.320
paragraph or a chapter
that sets you up for the next.

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:27.400
So make sure to go
on the full journey.

00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:29.680
I love hearing from
you guys in the comments.

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.000
I always have and I always will

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.040
whilst I can't always respond
to every single comment anymore,

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.280
I do read almost all of them

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:40.880
and I really appreciate you
sharing your experience and

00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:44.000
your vulnerability and the
way you love and cheer people on

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.840
all across the
world is so beautiful.

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:48.040
So let's keep that going.

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.080
Let's use this time to check in

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.480
with who we are and where
we are today as individuals

00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.320
but also as an
international community.

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:01.600
Wherever you're
watching this video,

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.520
take a moment now to
sit up nice and tall,

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:09.520
draw your palms
together to your heart space.

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:13.480
And let's take a
deep breath in together

00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.240
and a long
breath out together.

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.280
And again, a deep
breath in together.

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:24.520
And a long breath out together.

00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:28.198
And then one more time, inhale.

00:05:28.198 --> 00:05:30.360
And exhale.

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.960
That's it for today.

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:34.440
Let me know how you're feeling
in the comment section of this

00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:38.920
video and I will see
you tomorrow for Day 1.

00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.676
Take good care.

00:05:40.676 --> 00:05:44.586
(upbeat rhythmic music)
