WEBVTT

00:00:00.101 --> 00:00:02.120
- Hello everyone,
welcome to Flow,

00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:03.800
your 30 Day Yoga Journey.

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:04.920
So glad to have you back.

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:09.360
It's Day 3 and we
focus on the how.

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.925
Let's get started.

00:00:11.802 --> 00:00:16.671
(gentle rhythmic music)

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.440
Okie doke, let's begin.

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:35.680
Come on down to the ground.

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:36.880
Find a comfortable seat.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.480
You can sit cross-legged
or legs out long

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:42.800
or maybe on the knees,

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:46.840
if that feels like a
good experiment today.

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.520
And we'll just allow the hands
to rest gently in the lap,

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.960
on the knees,
on the thighs,

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.200
somewhere on your body.

00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:01.630
And we'll just start to
close the eyes, soften the gaze.

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:08.360
You might harken back
to your intention on Day 1.

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:12.760
You might start to notice
how you're feeling today,

00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.000
what you're
bringing to the mat,

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.560
what you're ready to let go of.

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.560
Maybe you're
noticing some resistance.

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.600
The hardest part is showing up.

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:24.760
So we can start to gently

00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.479
deepen the breath knowing
that the hardest part is done.

00:01:34.562 --> 00:01:36.000
And as you're ready,

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.640
start to really
elongate your inhale.

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.760
Really focusing on
how you're breathing.

00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.095
So a good technique for
that is to elongate the inhale,

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.421
maybe to a four
count or a six count.

00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:58.080
And lengthen the exhale,

00:01:58.080 --> 00:02:01.651
maybe to a six
count or an eight count.

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.377
Give it a try.

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.040
You do have to
focus a little for this,

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:14.400
but the more you do it,

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.120
the easier it becomes to drop

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.927
in to finding that long
extension of breath

00:02:22.313 --> 00:02:25.593
in and out.

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.680
Lovely. Then keep this
long extended breath going.

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.560
We'll return to the breath
counts at other points on this

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.120
journey but keep the long
extended breath going as we

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.520
slowly make our way
forward onto all fours.

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.440
And we're just 
going to synchronize

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:52.888
that elongated breath

00:02:52.888 --> 00:02:55.440
with our spinal warm-up.

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:00.080
So this extension,
and flexion,

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.920
this expansion,
and contraction.

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:06.150
So inhale, we drop the
belly, open the chest, Cobra.

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.120
And exhale, we round the
spine, chin to chest, Cat.

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.520
Moving with your breath,

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.493
nice and slow,
long, deep breaths.

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.160
Now you keep it going here with
your breath and I just like to

00:03:31.160 --> 00:03:36.080
invite you to consider here
that it's not what we're doing,

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.520
although it is,
of course, very valuable,

00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.440
but today giving a
little shout out to the how,

00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:45.280
how we move.

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.800
How we're thinking as we move,

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.000
how we're breathing,

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.963
how we're regarding ourselves.

00:03:57.390 --> 00:03:59.640
And my pro tip,

00:03:59.640 --> 00:04:03.160
(chuckles) meaning just
my friendly tip is

00:04:03.160 --> 00:04:06.440
to just focus
on the breath first because

00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:09.693
that really
affects how you move.

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.960
Nice, now slowly drop the
elbows where the hands were

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.120
and we're gonna walk the
knees back to Puppy Posture or

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.962
Anahatasan, which
is Heart to Earth Pose.

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:25.760
Breathe deep here.

00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:30.400
Deep heart opener, forearms
and wrists are parallel.

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:32.840
Forehead reaches
towards the earth,

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:35.400
maybe it rests on the yoga mat.

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.040
Now pull your hip
creases up even more,

00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.160
breathe into your belly.

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.300
Inhale in, exhale, slide through
all the way to the belly,

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:46.200
come to Sphinx Pose.

00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:47.738
Inhale in here.

00:04:47.738 --> 00:04:50.840
Exhale, turn to look past
your right shoulder.

00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:52.360
Inhale to center.

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.480
Exhale, turn to look
past your left shoulder.

00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:56.880
Now we're gonna do
that one more time,

00:04:56.880 --> 00:04:59.080
but consider this,
how you move matters.

00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:00.480
Are we just kinda
turning the head,

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.240
turning the head or can you

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.920
maybe draw a
line with your nose?

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.920
Really feel that
connection from your left ear,

00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.240
your left neck down
through your left elbow,

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.440
your left hip,
your left ankle.

00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:16.680
Cool, come back through center 
and take it to the other side.

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.271
See what you discover there.

00:05:21.325 --> 00:05:23.520
Mmm, mmm, mmm, beautiful.

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:27.080
Slowly release,
interlace the fingertips here.

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:29.000
Walk the elbows
underneath the shoulders.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.000
If they're not already,
curl the toes under.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:31.680
We got this.

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.120
Inhale in, exhale,
lift the hips,

00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.600
send the heels back.

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.680
Now, where your
mind goes here matters.

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.520
I understand if
it's frustrating,

00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:43.920
I understand if it's hard,
I feel you there.

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.960
But can we soften our gaze down?

00:05:45.960 --> 00:05:47.840
Can we focus on our alignment?

00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:49.240
Can we reach through the heels?

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.360
Can we gather the muscles that
we do have of the belly and say,

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.520
"Hey, I wanna support
you a little more,

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.770
"I wanna give you a chance to

00:05:57.770 --> 00:06:02.340
"become more 
engaged in my daily life."

00:06:03.222 --> 00:06:04.520
We're here for three.

00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:06.560
We're here for two 
and on the one,

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.480
we lower the knees,
we release,

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.280
we come back up
to all fours. We rock.

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:13.120
We're gonna walk the hands back,

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.380
come into our little squat here

00:06:16.380 --> 00:06:17.760
at the back edge of the mat.

00:06:17.760 --> 00:06:20.280
Take a deep breath
in and on an exhale,

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:23.120
lift the hips up high,
Forward Fold.

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.440
Again, just a reminder,
we can use a block or two.

00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:28.280
At any point,

00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:30.480
we feel like it might be
fun to pull it into practice.

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.880
You can also use a book,
just something sturdy at home.

00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:38.080
Bend your knees.

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:40.400
Inhale, lift halfway.

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:42.720
Exhale to soften and fold.

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.120
Then bend your knees generously

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.320
and we're gonna slowly
roll up one vertebra at a time.

00:06:47.320 --> 00:06:50.160
Keep those knees bent
to protect the low back.

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.480
Slow and steady,
stacking the spine,

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.480
rising up into Tadasana.

00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.920
Take a deep breath in.

00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:02.720
And a long breath out.

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.120
Inhale, reach for the sky.

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.800
How you move matters here.

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.640
Bend the knees,
exhale, soften into the fold.

00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:13.680
Walk it out nice and slow.

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.560
Engage those abs,
so we're not crashing down into

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.480
the wrists as we
walk it out to Plank.

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:19.800
Inhale in.

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.760
Think about how you move here,
how you transition.

00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:24.340
Exhale, bend the knees.

00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:27.320
Peel the tailbone up 
towards the sky.

00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:28.840
So careful not to hoist and

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:31.760
throw your body
around here on the mat.

00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:34.520
Pay attention to the how.

00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:37.310
Drop the left heel, inhale,
lift the right leg up high.

00:07:37.310 --> 00:07:39.360
Exhale, step it forward.

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.640
Lower the left knee.

00:07:41.640 --> 00:07:43.840
Press into the
top of that back foot.

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:46.720
Inhale, reach the
fingertips forward, up and back.

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.080
Cresecent Lunge, lift the heart.

00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:51.760
Exhale, release,
slow and steady.

00:07:51.760 --> 00:07:53.960
From here, we're gonna
pull the right hip crease back,

00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:58.640
flex the right foot, your toes,
towards your face.

00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:00.920
Slight bend in
the right knee here,

00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.040
stretching through
that whole hamstring.

00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.358
Breathe.

00:08:06.440 --> 00:08:08.680
Lovely, then roll
through your right foot.

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.680
Again, here's a
great example, guys.

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.000
Just a little
quick workshop moment.

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.720
So here we can just 
shift our weight forward

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.760
or we can think
about kind of how we're doing

00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:19.800
that really
articulating through the foot.

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.800
Is it gonna really roll through?

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.240
Probably not, but it's
the intention we bring to it.

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.320
So rolling
through that right foot.

00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:29.920
And the more we practice,
the more of this kind of nuance

00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.080
we get to pick
up on individually.

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:34.960
And it's really nice,
it's really motivating too.

00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:39.760
Lift the back knee, I'll meet 
ya in this nice low lunge.

00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:41.720
Cool, inhale, here we go.

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.080
Plant the palms,
step the right toes back,

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.280
Plank Pose, breathe in.

00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:49.480
Lower to the knees,
squeeze the elbows,

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.520
slowly breathe
out as you lower down.

00:08:52.520 --> 00:08:55.080
Inhale, lift up, Cobra.

00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:56.920
Exhale, soften and release.

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:58.240
Curl the toes under.

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.680
Press up to Plank or All Fours,
your choice.

00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:03.650
And then send 
the hips up high and back

00:09:03.650 --> 00:09:06.600
Downward Facing Dog once again.

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.800
Inhale, lift the
left leg up high.

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:11.440
Exhale, shift it forward.

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.680
Inhale, slowly
lower the right knee.

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:15.150
Come to the 
top of the right foot

00:09:15.150 --> 00:09:17.160
and reach the
fingertips all the way up.

00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:18.840
Lift your heart.

00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.840
Re-send the gaze up.

00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.000
And then exhale,
soften and release.

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.480
Pull the hip crease back here,

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.720
flex your left toes 
towards your face.

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.880
Slight bend in the left knee,
pull, pull, pull it back.

00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:32.600
And then here we go,

00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.560
we get a chance to
practice how we move matters.

00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:39.360
So consider rolling
through that left foot.

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.440
No need to rush it.

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.760
Nice, lift the back knee.

00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:45.400
Nice low lunge.

00:09:45.400 --> 00:09:46.120
Great, here we go.

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.480
A little vinyasa,
plant the palms.

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.640
Step it back,
belly to Cobra,

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:51.720
knees, chest and chin,

00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.040
or Chaturanga to
Upward Facing Dog.

00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:55.400
Move with your breath.

00:09:55.400 --> 00:09:58.400
Inhaling to open your heart.

00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:02.120
And exhaling to make
your way to Down Dog.

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.860
Inhale in here.

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:06.903
Exhale, let it go.

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.080
Now we're gonna take a little
stroll to the top of the mat.

00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.200
So you get to
choose how you do that.

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.520
You can take baby steps.

00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:18.200
I like to criss-cross my steps,
getting into that IT band.

00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.080
If you wanna
practice floating or hopping,

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.601
that's, of course,
a great idea.

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:28.280
And then we'll meet
at the front of the mat,

00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:31.916
feet hip width apart in a fold.

00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:35.520
On your next inhale,
lift up halfway,

00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:37.880
find a nice flat back position.

00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:39.760
And then exhale
to soften and bow.

00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:42.360
Now root to rise here,
spread your fingertips,

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.480
reach for the sky,
big stretch, big breath.

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.160
And then bring the
right hand all the way down,

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:52.040
right arm at your side.
Left hand, all the way down.

00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:54.720
Left arm at your side,
Mountain Pose.

00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.208
Breathe in.

00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.830
Breathe out.

00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:02.620
Good, inhale,
reach all the way up.

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:06.560
Exhale, soften
down into the fold.

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:10.640
Inhale, halfway lift,
find that long beautiful neck.

00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:13.680
And then exhale,
soften and release again.

00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:17.240
This time we're gonna step the
right foot back into our lunge,

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.360
pivot on the back foot.

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.840
So the outer edge of
the right foot is down.

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.880
And then when you're ready,
sweep the fingertips forward,

00:11:25.880 --> 00:11:29.160
up and back for Warrior I.

00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:32.090
Breathe in, take a nice, wide

00:11:32.090 --> 00:11:37.120
open placement of the hands.

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.400
So not too narrow here.

00:11:38.400 --> 00:11:41.720
Give yourself some
room in the shoulders.

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.720
And then focus on how it feels.

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.560
So we know 
the shape of Warrior I.

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:47.800
It's a great one
to practice this.

00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:51.386
Focus on, how is it
feeling from the ground up?

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.560
And keep
building that connection,

00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:58.274
that sensation
from the ground up.

00:12:01.030 --> 00:12:04.120
Inhale in, exhale,
open it up to Warrior II.

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.240
Now just take a
couple breaths here as well,

00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.800
noticing how our alignment,

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:11.770
when we work from the 
ground up, how that affects

00:12:11.770 --> 00:12:14.021
the rest of the posture.

00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:17.040
Right toes are turned in

00:12:17.040 --> 00:12:19.560
towards the front
right corner of your mat.

00:12:19.560 --> 00:12:22.900
Think about engaging your 
right inner thigh to help roll

00:12:22.900 --> 00:12:27.200
that right femur out externally.

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.490
Inhale, lengthen
through the crown.

00:12:29.490 --> 00:12:31.720
Exhale, take it all
the way up and over,

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.840
back down into your lunge.

00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.320
Plant the palms,
step it back,

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.080
belly to Cobra,
Chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog.

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.297
Find a little flow
here with your breath.

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.786
We'll meet in Downward Dog.

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.520
Inhale in here.

00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:51.040
Exhale, let it go.

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:53.800
Inhale, take a little journey.

00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:55.520
You can play with how you move

00:12:55.520 --> 00:12:58.480
from the back to the
front edge of the mat.

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.384
Really want 
you to feel empowered

00:13:01.384 --> 00:13:02.580
to move in the way that

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:04.680
feels good for
your body, your energy.

00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:07.760
I'll meet you at the top
of the mat in a Forward Fold,

00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:10.520
feet hip width apart.

00:13:10.520 --> 00:13:12.520
Inhale to lift halfway.

00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:14.120
Exhale to soften and fold.

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.160
Root to rise here,
reach for the sky.

00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:19.400
Inhale, big breath,
big stretch, take up space.

00:13:19.400 --> 00:13:22.547
Exhale, we're gonna go
right back down into the fold.

00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:26.811
Beautiful, inhale,
halfway lift, your version.

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.320
Exhale, soften and bow.

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.040
Step the left foot 
back this time.

00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:35.920
Nice low lunge,
pivot on the back foot.

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:40.156
When you're ready,
rise up, Warrior I.

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.480
Front knee over front ankle,
back toes are turned in.

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.000
Draw the belly in,

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.782
give yourself some
space in the shoulders.

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.118
Engage your left inner thigh

00:13:53.118 --> 00:13:57.295
to wrap that left hip open.

00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.553
Pull the right hip crease back.

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.976
Breathe.

00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:09.640
And then open it up, Warrior II.

00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:13.564
Make sure you're breathing here,
not holding and waiting.

00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:18.120
Head over heart,
heart over pelvis.

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.120
How the spine is situated here,
compared to the lower body.

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.692
So letting the power of the legs

00:14:26.692 --> 00:14:29.449
help you find that
lift up through the crown.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.280
Lovely, and then we'll take it

00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:34.480
all the way up with
the left hand and over,

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.960
back down into our lunge.

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.240
Plant the palms,
step the right toes back,

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:40.800
big breath in,

00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:41.960
big breath out.

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.280
Inhale in, exhale,
find a little flow here.

00:14:45.280 --> 00:14:49.597
Belly to Cobra,
Chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog.

00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:55.724
And we'll meet in Down Dog
or Child's Pose, your choice.

00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.154
Lovely.

00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:02.320
If you're in Down Dog,
turn the toes in slightly so

00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.510
we have this inner rotation

00:15:04.510 --> 00:15:09.280
in the hips, 
in the thighs.

00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:11.760
Take a deep breath in.

00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:15.360
And on an exhale,
slowly lower to the knees.

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.160
Everyone lets meet
in Tabletop Position.

00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:20.760
Then inhale in, exhale,

00:15:20.760 --> 00:15:23.140
sweep the legs to one side

00:15:23.140 --> 00:15:25.520
and slowly come to a seat.

00:15:25.520 --> 00:15:28.200
Send the legs on in front.

00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.360
Inhale, reach for the sky.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.800
Exhale, Paschimottanasana,
think about, excuse me,

00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:38.160
think about lifting up and 
over like a beach ball here

00:15:38.160 --> 00:15:39.760
in between the
belly and the thighs.

00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:44.200
So there's an active lift
here as we reach up and over.

00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.847
And then melting into

00:15:46.847 --> 00:15:50.094
this seated Forward Fold.

00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:54.521
How are you breathing?

00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.760
Acknowledge whatever thoughts
come to mind here in the fold.

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:04.814
And then notice 
how your breath can

00:16:06.085 --> 00:16:10.299
do a little curtsy and
then guide you back to

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.240
the next moment.

00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.400
I always say one present moment

00:16:15.400 --> 00:16:19.523
is just like a
window to the next.

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.680
And then slowly release.

00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:26.480
Bring your palms to the mat.

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.120
You're gonna shift your booty

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.240
forward and then
come onto your elbows.

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.320
And then slowly
release down from here.

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.820
So just, again,

00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:40.480
how we come
to our backs, matters.

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.440
Using the
vocabulary we learned here,

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.840
but also creating your own.

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.340
Snuggle your shoulder blades
underneath your heart space

00:16:47.340 --> 00:16:50.440
here and relax the weight of

00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.812
your body
completely into the earth.

00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.520
Inhale in, exhale.

00:16:58.520 --> 00:17:01.640
How you move matter here.
Slowly bend your left knee,

00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:03.360
bring your left
foot to the mat.

00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.640
You can play with
really slowing it down.

00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.720
Nice, now send your
right leg up towards the sky,

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.120
cross the right ankle 
over the left thigh.

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:17.280
Take a second here,
just bringing the palms

00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:20.160
to the legs in a 
way that feels good.

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.600
And then if you want,
you can interlace the fingertips

00:17:22.600 --> 00:17:25.560
for a figure four stretch,

00:17:25.560 --> 00:17:27.460
breathing deep.

00:17:34.906 --> 00:17:38.000
And then we'll release,
pay attention to the release,

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.480
the transition.

00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:43.255
Extend both legs out long, 
arms at your side.

00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.680
And repeat, slow and steady.

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.120
Maybe you can imagine this time,
like a marionette string

00:17:50.120 --> 00:17:54.188
on your right knee,
pulling it up.

00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:58.680
And then maybe
on your left ankle,

00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.010
drawing it up and across.

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.760
And finding your figure four.

00:18:04.760 --> 00:18:06.360
Many of us have
been here before,

00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:08.360
but how we get in and out of

00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:11.200
the posture can
change how we feel in it.

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.080
So just again,
highlighting that today.

00:18:13.080 --> 00:18:15.480
Find what feels good here
if you like to take the bind,

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.760
interlace the fingertips.

00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:23.628
Start to draw the
legs up towards the chest.

00:18:28.170 --> 00:18:32.299
And then slowly, 
when you're ready, release.

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.246
One leg at a time.

00:18:39.320 --> 00:18:41.280
And reach the arms up.

00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:45.320
Extend the right arm down,
left arm down.

00:18:45.320 --> 00:18:47.920
Take a deep breath in.

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.720
And on the exhale,

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:54.680
allow the weight of
your body to release,

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:58.842
soften, surrender.

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.563
Just a moment to be.

00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:21.790
I love the, just the love that
comes with this practice,

00:19:21.790 --> 00:19:25.695
this way of practicing

00:19:25.695 --> 00:19:29.600
because it really,

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:32.720
to me,
shows that we're all worthy of

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.360
taking up space and
our actions matter,

00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:39.553
the way we move matters,
we matter.

00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:45.120
So, whether you're
practicing this in the morning,

00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:48.840
mid-day or night,
you can start to pay

00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:51.160
attention to the
how a little bit more.

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.240
And notice how that
changes the way you move,

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.897
the way you exist,
if at all.

00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.720
Love you so much,
bring the palms together,

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:01.760
thumbs to third eye,

00:20:01.760 --> 00:20:04.615
let's take a final
breath in together.

00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:09.559
And out to close
today's practice.

00:20:10.840 --> 00:20:12.160
Great work.

00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.360
See you next time.

00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:15.086
Namaste.

00:20:15.086 --> 00:20:19.141
(upbeat rhythmic music)
