00:00:00.157 --> 00:00:01.420
- Hello, my darling friends.

00:00:01.420 --> 00:00:04.480
Welcome back to Flow,
your 30 Day Yoga Journey.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.360
It's Day 26.

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.600
Open your heart.

00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:12.234
Let's get started.

00:00:14.095 --> 00:00:18.899
(light rhythmic music)

00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:36.720
And we have begun.

00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:39.040
Come on down to the ground.

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:40.160
Take your time.

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:42.120
Let's find a lift in the heart

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.115
though as soon as we
get down to the earth.

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:50.400
And then just take a little

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:54.440
free-spirited entry
into this practice today.

00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:55.320
Lift your heart,

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.360
maybe close your eyes and
start to find some soft easy

00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:02.240
movement in the
head and the neck.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.320
Maybe the shoulders.

00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:07.789
Maybe the side body.

00:01:07.789 --> 00:01:11.990
You can use all the vocabulary

00:01:11.990 --> 00:01:13.920
we've learned together thus far.

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.240
You can bring in
your own vocabulary.

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.030
Just finding some
soft easy movement.

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:24.955
Dropping in energetically here

00:01:26.550 --> 00:01:28.987
with whatever you've got.

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:37.000
And then as you're ready,

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.480
bring the head
back over the heart,

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.840
heart over the pelvis
and draw the palms together,

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.916
Anjuli Mudra.

00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:50.880
Lift your sternum
towards your thumbs.

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:54.520
Take a deep inhale
in through the nose.

00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.061
And out through the nose slowly.

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.240
Relax the skin of the face.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.903
Again, in through the nose.

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:10.159
And out through the nose slowly.

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.120
Shift your torso a
little bit forward and back.

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.560
Try to find that alignment,
that feeling of alignment,

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.240
head over heart,
heart over pelvis.

00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.669
Continuing to
gently deepen your breath.

00:02:32.770 --> 00:02:35.320
Inhale in deeply.

00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:38.880
Exhale, bow the
head to the heart.

00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:42.160
Feel this deep stretch
in the back of the neck.

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:44.080
Start to activate
through the palms.

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.040
So press into the palms so much

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:49.920
that your elbows
are going left to right.

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:54.160
Chin to chest,
heart stays lifted here.

00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:56.155
Breathe.

00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:01.280
Lovely.
Interlace the fingertips now.

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.160
Slowly lift the head
so the chin is parallel.

00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:07.018
Press the palms forward.

00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:10.880
Inhale in here.

00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:13.360
Exhale, come
forward onto all fours.

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.640
Release the bind.
Come to Tabletop Position.

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:21.920
Drop the belly, slow sip
of air as you look forward.

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:25.018
Heart energy radiates forward.

00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:28.680
Exhale, round through the spine.

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:33.520
Find that detailed articulation
through the vertebra that

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.506
we've been
playing with all week.

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.240
And continue to
flow with your breath.

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.240
Inhale in, dropping the belly, 
opening the heart.

00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.200
Exhaling,
rounding through the spine.

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:50.090
And again, feel free to

00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:54.520
find some moments of freestyle.

00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.080
Listening and responding to

00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.240
what the body is
sharing with you today.

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.320
Maybe bumping the hips
a little left to right.

00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:06.640
Checking in with the shoulders.

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:10.960
So you have the structure of
Cat-Cow but allowing yourself

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.040
to veer off the railroad
tracks a little bit here,

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.311
mindfully and with your breath.

00:04:30.200 --> 00:04:32.880
Then slowly bring it back
to Tabletop Position and

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:36.480
let's drop those elbows
right where the hands were.

00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.320
Spread the fingertips wide.

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:39.960
Forearms are parallel.

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:41.680
Walk the knees back.

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.040
Hip creases up
high for Puppy Pose.

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.760
Big heart opener here.

00:04:46.760 --> 00:04:51.520
Melting the chest down,
forehead to the mat.

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:55.144
Active arms, active feet.

00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.367
Breathe.

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:04.487
Letting go of the day thus far.

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.041
Politely putting 
your to-do list on hold

00:05:11.161 --> 00:05:14.000
and allowing yourself 
the opportunity to be

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.048
really present here
with the energy of the body.

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.000
Carve a line with
the nose forward slowly.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.080
Press into the elbows,

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:29.080
shift your heart
all the way forward,

00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:30.960
slide into home,

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:34.320
lift the chest up,
Sphinx Pose.

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:35.840
Press into the tops of the feet,

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:38.040
hug the low ribs in,

00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.440
open your heart.

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:41.440
Keep the neck
nice and long here.

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:44.440
In fact, it's nice to tuck
the chin slightly to really find

00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:48.200
that length in
the back of the neck.

00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:50.451
Breathe.

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:55.040
Inhale in here again.

00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.774
Find extension
from crown to toes.

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:02.800
And then release on the exhale.

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.080
Let it all go.

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:06.000
Press back up to all fours.

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:06.960
Curl the toes under.

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:10.520
Walk the hands all the way back
towards the center of your body.

00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:14.360
Come into your yogic squat.

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.560
Heels can stay lifted here.

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.600
We don't need to force it down

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.320
here so you can even use
this as a little opportunity to

00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:23.160
stretch through the
fascia of the foot.

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.880
If you're feeling particularly
childlike or maybe you're

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:28.440
practicing with
someone younger than you,

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:32.880
you might take this opportunity
to do a little Froggy hop here.

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:36.386
Maybe a little
ribbit sound or two.

00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.062
Little playful.

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:43.200
And then from
this Froggy position,

00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:46.440
walk the hands all
the way out to Plank Pose.

00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:47.920
You got this.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.920
So think of your heart center.

00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.020
We're bringing awareness

00:06:53.020 --> 00:06:56.120
to the heart center, 
the heart chakra.

00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.440
Think about lifting
that area of the body up,

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:00.920
way up high here.

00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.840
So you're really pressing
away from your yoga mat.

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:05.800
See if you can 
accentuate that today

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.200
and peek at me if you need to.

00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:10.600
And then I start to say,

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.400
holy abs, (laughs)
when I start to lift there.

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:17.160
Finding that core connection.

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.991
Crown of the head extends.

00:07:21.460 --> 00:07:24.160
And then we'll send
the hips up high and back,

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.515
melting the heart
towards the tops of the thighs.

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.200
Take a couple breaths
here to find what feels good.

00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:36.800
Pedal it out,
deepen your breath.

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.277
Let something go.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.760
Now claw through the fingertips,
press in your knuckles,

00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:52.760
imagine there's
a big golden hurdle

00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:54.240
in the center of your mat.

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.640
We're gonna lift up,

00:07:55.640 --> 00:07:57.600
draw energy up
from the pelvic floor,

00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.400
slowly roll through the spine,
come back to that Plank Pose,

00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:05.240
lifting the heart center up,
crown of the head extended.

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.480
Excuse me.

00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.720
Breathe.

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.200
Inhale in, go up
and over that hurdle,

00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:13.280
back to Downward Facing Dog.

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:14.400
Nice work.

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:16.640
Bend the knees,
inhale, look forward.

00:08:16.640 --> 00:08:20.200
Exhale, make your 
way to the top.

00:08:20.200 --> 00:08:22.000
Feet hip width apart.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.322
Let it all hang.

00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:29.840
Standing Forward Fold.

00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:31.477
Breathe.

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.360
Now find some soft,

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.520
easy movement here
that you fancy today.

00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:43.440
Maybe it's rocking on the feet,
swaying from side to side,

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:47.402
shaking the head yes, no.

00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:53.543
Maybe it's a good day
for some horsey lips.

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.720
And then slowly draw
the hands to the waist,

00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.080
ground through your feet.

00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.120
You got this,
root to rise,

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.967
standing tall in Mountain.

00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.520
Lead with your heart,
draw the elbows back,

00:09:19.520 --> 00:09:22.760
lengthen through
the crown of the head.

00:09:22.760 --> 00:09:26.233
Stand tall, observe your breath.

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.240
Then release the hands,

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.000
interlace the
fingertips behind your back,

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.480
draw the knuckles down and

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.640
away and without
looking down at your feet,

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:39.760
walk the feet together,
squeezing the legs,

00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:41.945
zipping them up tight.

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.640
Inhale, carve a line with
your nose, look up, lift the chest.

00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:52.120
Exhale, keep the bind in
the hands and the fingers as you

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.920
bend the knees and
come into your fold.

00:09:54.920 --> 00:09:57.051
Breathe.

00:10:00.400 --> 00:10:03.560
Slow and with control,
inhale, halfway lift,

00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:07.880
send the knuckles back,
crown of the head forward.

00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:10.800
And then exhale,
release everything, let it go.

00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:13.710
Nice. Step the right foot back,

00:10:13.710 --> 00:10:15.880
lower the 
right knee to the ground.

00:10:15.880 --> 00:10:19.490
Inhale sweep the arms
all the way up and overhead.

00:10:19.490 --> 00:10:22.320
Exhale, bring them
back down to your lunge.

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.120
Lift the back knee,
plant the palms,

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.200
step the left toes back,
Plank Pose.

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.960
Inhale in here,
exhale to Downward Facing Dog.

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.065
Deep breath in,

00:10:34.065 --> 00:10:36.179
long breath out.

00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:43.320
Slowly, step the right foot all
the way up, lower the left knee.

00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.800
Inhale sweep the arms up high.

00:10:45.800 --> 00:10:48.360
Big breath, big stretch.

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.440
Exhale, bring it back.

00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.680
Lift the back knee,
step the right toes back,

00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:54.240
Plank Pose.

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.640
Inhale in here,
shift forward, look forward.

00:10:57.640 --> 00:11:00.520
Exhale, slowly
lower to the belly.

00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:03.520
Inhale rise up, Cobra.

00:11:03.520 --> 00:11:05.320
Follow your breath.

00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.800
Exhale brings you
all the way down.

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:10.360
Curl the toes under,

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.800
press up to
all fours or Plank

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:15.440
and send the hips up and back.

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.754
Heart melts, Downward Dog.

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.200
Inhale in here deeply.

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.280
Exhale completely.

00:11:25.280 --> 00:11:29.320
Bend the knees, walk the hands
all the way back to the toes.

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.600
Walk the hands all
the way back to the toes.

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.920
So you're in Forward Fold
at the back edge of your mat.

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:39.640
Nice, inhale, lift halfway here.

00:11:39.640 --> 00:11:43.320
Exhale to soften and bow.

00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.960
Hands come to the waistline,
root to rise here.

00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:47.480
Stand up nice and tall.

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:52.040
Big breath as you
lift the chest, lift your heart.

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:53.640
And then exhale, release.

00:11:53.640 --> 00:11:55.040
Interlace the fingertips,

00:11:55.040 --> 00:11:57.240
opposite thumb
on top this time.

00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.280
Knuckles draw down and
away as you open the chest,

00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:01.820
open your heart.

00:12:02.930 --> 00:12:06.400
Inhale in here, lift, lengthen.

00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:09.520
Exhale, bend the knees,
knuckles draw a line,

00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:13.962
tracing all the way up
as you bow into the fold.

00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.000
Inhale, halfway lift,
find length.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.880
Knuckles back,
crown of the head forward.

00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:22.560
Exhale, release the bind,

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:26.160
release everything,
come into the fold.

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:30.465
From here, walk the palms
slowly all the way out to Plank.

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.840
Turn onto the outer
edge of your right foot,

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.240
inner edge of your left foot as

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.720
you send the left fingertips
all the way up high, Side Plank.

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.400
Squeeze the right obliques,

00:12:41.400 --> 00:12:45.040
bring it all the way back
down and take it to the other side.

00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:49.360
Right fingertips reach up,
squeeze and lift, left obliques.

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.720
Right hand comes down,
we shift forward,

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.400
look forward, inhale.

00:12:53.400 --> 00:12:56.280
Exhale, lower all
the way to the belly.

00:12:56.280 --> 00:12:58.840
Inhale for Cobra, Bhujangasana.

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.800
Follow your breath,
ride the wave.

00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:05.240
Exhale to soften and fold.

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.600
Inhale to press up
to all floors or Plank.

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.800
Exhale, Downward Facing Dog.

00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:15.080
From Down Dog,
inhale,

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.600
lift the right leg up high.

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.440
Exhale, slowly shift that

00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.800
right foot forward and
pivot on the back foot.

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:24.720
Rise up, Warrior I.

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.000
Inhale, reach for the sky, 
lift your heart.

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.120
The sun is coming out here.

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.160
And then from here,
we're gonna rain the fingertips

00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:35.800
down to interlace
behind the back once again.

00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:39.710
Feel the root, the power 
of that back leg strong.

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.200
So all the way,

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.960
moving up from the root
chakra all the way to the heart,

00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.320
lift it here.

00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.160
Then find extension through
the crown, maybe looking up.

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:55.040
Inhale it, exhale,
lead with your heart.

00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:57.000
Peel the right hip crease back,

00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.120
Humble Warrior as Benji yawns.
(chuckles)

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.640
Crown of the head
comes towards the earth,

00:14:02.640 --> 00:14:05.360
knuckles reach for the sky.

00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.160
And we breathe here,

00:14:07.160 --> 00:14:11.400
right hamstring
parallel to the earth.

00:14:11.400 --> 00:14:13.733
Back leg is strong.

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:17.400
Press into the outer
edge of that back foot.

00:14:17.400 --> 00:14:19.480
Engage your left inner thigh.

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:23.680
Find center and
slowly rise back up.

00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:27.740
Release the bind,
open up, Warrior II.

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:31.160
Inhale, Reverse Triangle,
straighten your front leg,

00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:35.280
reach the right fingertips
all the way up and back.

00:14:35.280 --> 00:14:40.280
Inhale in, exhale, cartwheel
all the way back to your lunge.

00:14:40.280 --> 00:14:44.280
Plant the palms,
step it back, Plank Pose.

00:14:44.280 --> 00:14:48.040
Inhale to shift forward,
exhale to lower.

00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:51.000
Inhale for Cobra, your version.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.920
Exhale to soften and release.

00:14:53.920 --> 00:14:58.000
Inhale to press up
to all fours or Plank.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.880
Exhale, Downward Facing Dog.

00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:02.475
Way to follow your breath.

00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:09.320
As you're ready,
lift the left leg up high.

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.040
Exhale, step it forward.

00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:14.080
Pivot on the back foot.

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.800
Find your foundation,
use your vocabulary,

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:19.560
pull the left hip crease back.

00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:21.920
Draw that energy up
from the pelvic floor.

00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:26.760
We slowly reach forward,
up and back, Warrior I.

00:15:26.760 --> 00:15:29.383
Feel the power in that back leg.

00:15:31.640 --> 00:15:34.920
Integrate your tools,
draw the navel in and up,

00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:36.623
lift the heart.

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.760
And then we'll rain
the fingertips down.

00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:43.440
Find the bind,

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.440
knuckles draw down and away
as we open up through the heart,

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.120
open up through the chest.

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.240
Humble Warrior, inhale in.

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.380
Keep that 
back foot rooted strong

00:15:55.380 --> 00:15:57.800
as you guide
the heart space forward.

00:15:57.800 --> 00:16:00.640
Peel the left hip crease back.

00:16:00.640 --> 00:16:04.248
Find the posture today.
It'll be different every day.

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.236
Stick with your breath.

00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.320
Stay focused.

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.982
Right leg is strong.

00:16:25.640 --> 00:16:29.090
And then root down through
the outer edge of that back foot.

00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:31.920
Draw energy
from your right arch,

00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:33.640
right inner thigh's engaged

00:16:33.640 --> 00:16:38.520
as we slowly lift
the heart back up.

00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:43.120
And release the bind,
Warrior II.

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.336
Heart-Led Warrior.

00:16:46.640 --> 00:16:49.160
Straighten the front leg,
reach it back.

00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:51.581
Big full body moment here.

00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:55.080
Peaceful Warrior or 
Reverse Triangle rather,

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.480
excuse me.

00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.020
What's in a name?
Cartwheel all the way back,

00:17:00.020 --> 00:17:01.720
follow your breath.

00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:05.160
Let the palms step it to Plank.

00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:06.640
Inhale in here.

00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.378
Exhale to slowly
lower to the belly.

00:17:11.840 --> 00:17:13.080
Stack the palms.

00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:17.760
Bring your forehead to
rest on them like a pillow.

00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:21.560
And then just allow the hips
to shake a little left to right.

00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:23.440
Breathe.

00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.245
Rest your heart.

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:30.880
As you breathe,

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:35.310
feel your belly protrude
(laughs)

00:17:35.310 --> 00:17:36.640
into your mat space

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:41.138
feel that deep belly
breath as you inhale.

00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:44.880
And soften as you exhale.

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.660
We call this
alligator breathing.

00:17:53.560 --> 00:17:54.840
We'll slowly come up.

00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:58.040
We're gonna bring the
palms underneath the shoulders.

00:17:58.040 --> 00:17:59.640
Bend the left knee.

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.183
Reach around,
grab the left ankle.

00:18:04.750 --> 00:18:07.920
Now, draw the navel in
and up just a bit here.

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.000
I know it seems impossible
on the belly but give it a try.

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.680
And then reach your
right hand back to maybe,

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.920
oops, sorry Benji, (chuckles)
grab your right ankle.

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.240
Maybe the top of the foot.

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.840
And if this isn't available,

00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:22.990
maybe we come onto one elbow
and we just do one at a time.

00:18:22.990 --> 00:18:25.360
It gives you a
little more space.

00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:27.240
So you're getting
your quad stretch here.

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.080
Now press into the pubic bone

00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:32.680
best you can and
relax the forehead down.

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.320
Inhale in.
We're gonna grow this.

00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:37.360
Pressing into the pubic bone.

00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:41.640
Slowly begin to
kick the toes up and out.

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:42.880
That's your action here.

00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.640
Up and out.
So not just out.

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.600
Up and out.

00:18:46.600 --> 00:18:48.280
Lengthen through
the crown of the head.

00:18:48.280 --> 00:18:49.800
Don't crunch the
back of the neck.

00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:52.023
Keep the neck long.

00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:55.000
Look at you.
Breathe here.

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.965
You might find a little
rocking motion with your breath.

00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:06.466
Soften the skin of the face.

00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:13.240
And after a couple rocks,
release.

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.360
Come back to your pillow.

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:18.160
Bring the two big toes to touch

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.920
and allow the heels
to splay left to right.

00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.840
You can rock the hips
a little side to side.

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:28.280
Take a deep
breath in and exhale.

00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:29.756
Sigh it out.

00:19:31.320 --> 00:19:33.320
Nice work.

00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:34.440
Alright, from here we're gonna

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.560
inch ourselves over towards
the left side of the mat.

00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:40.550
Turn onto the
left shoulder, left ear.

00:19:40.550 --> 00:19:45.480
And it's a whole new world.

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.575
Come onto your back.

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.899
Hug the knees into the chest.
(laughs)

00:19:56.840 --> 00:20:01.400
Couple more
moments here with the breath.

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:02.920
Hug the right knee in.

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:05.586
Extend the left leg out long.

00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:09.920
Find that 
Wind Relieving Pose again.

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:10.800
Inhale in.

00:20:10.800 --> 00:20:11.800
Exhale.

00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:15.537
Peel the nose up
towards the knee.

00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:19.680
Then release the
weight of the head,

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.200
the neck, the shoulders
and find your twist.

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.040
Bump the hips to the right.

00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:27.400
Send your right knee to
the left side of your mat and

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:31.040
allow your right
shoulder to find the ground.

00:20:31.040 --> 00:20:32.640
Today I'll invite you to bring

00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.760
your left hand to the outer
edge of your right thigh and

00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:41.240
guide it a little
deeper into the twist.

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.755
The power of touch here.

00:20:55.360 --> 00:20:58.360
And then slowly
melt it back to center.

00:20:58.360 --> 00:21:00.440
Extend the right leg out long.

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.920
Left knee in.

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:04.200
Squeeze.

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:05.000
Inhale.

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.864
Exhale, navel draws down

00:21:07.864 --> 00:21:11.200
as we peel the head up,

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.226
nose towards the knee.

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.400
And then slowly release.

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.640
Bump the hips to the left,
if you can.

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.313
And then find your twist.

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.040
Guiding the left shoulder 
down to the earth,

00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:31.360
opening your heart
towards the heavens

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:35.560
and using the warmth of
your right hand to gently

00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:39.220
guide the outer edge

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:41.800
of that left thigh,

00:21:41.800 --> 00:21:45.529
that hip, the IT band

00:21:45.529 --> 00:21:47.812
into the twist.

00:21:59.080 --> 00:21:59.880
Delightful.

00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.920
Bring it back slowly.

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.760
If there's any other movement
your body's craving here,

00:22:05.760 --> 00:22:10.021
something that we've
done safely together before,

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.006
maybe explore that now.

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.626
And I'll meet you
with the legs extended.

00:22:20.040 --> 00:22:21.080
Let's take the left hand,

00:22:21.080 --> 00:22:24.760
bring it to the heart space,
right hand to the belly.

00:22:24.760 --> 00:22:27.830
Make it so that your elbows 
can relax on the ground

00:22:27.830 --> 00:22:32.080
so you're
not holding anywhere here.

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:35.080
We can relax the
weight of the body fully.

00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:39.360
Maybe close the eyes and

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:43.356
a flash of surrender 
comes upon us.

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.997
Some days it's
easier than others.

00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:52.240
But I think the most beautiful

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.920
thing is that we bring
ourself to this moment,

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.680
this opportunity where we even

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.971
have a chance

00:22:59.971 --> 00:23:04.076
to practice stillness.

00:23:08.040 --> 00:23:11.560
To practice surrender.

00:23:28.320 --> 00:23:31.080
Gently begin to
wiggle your toes.

00:23:31.080 --> 00:23:35.568
Bring the palms together
slowly up to the third eye.

00:23:38.010 --> 00:23:41.400
Wonderful work
today my darling friends.

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.640
I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow.

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.920
We're nearing the end but

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.240
fear not in every end
is a new beginning.

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.200
I'll have your back so
just stay present with your

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:55.960
practices and have a
beautiful rest of the day.

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.600
Inhale in deeply.

00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:03.760
And exhale to seal
this one with a kiss.

00:24:03.760 --> 00:24:04.982
Namaste.

00:24:05.901 --> 00:24:10.723
(upbeat rhythmic music)
