00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:01.560
- Hello, my darling friends.

00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:04.480
Welcome back to Flow,
your 30 Day Yoga Journey.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.000
It's Day 29.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.280
Trust.

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:10.734
Let's get started.

00:00:12.504 --> 00:00:17.352
(light rhythmic music)

00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:34.560
Okie doke, let's begin 
in a comfortable seat.

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.200
Come on down to the ground.

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.280
Sit up nice and tall.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.040
Draw the
shoulders up to the ears.

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:46.280
Take a deep breath
in and as you exhale,

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.080
maybe close your eyes
or soften your gaze

00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:53.323
and allow your shoulders
and elbows to draw down

00:00:53.323 --> 00:00:56.971
as you lift and lengthen

00:00:56.971 --> 00:00:59.920
up through the crown.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.880
Gently begin to
deepen your breath.

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:10.777
And notice what it feels like

00:01:10.777 --> 00:01:13.945
to be alive today.

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:18.280
And you might be like,

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.350
"Oh darn,
feels hard, feels heavy."

00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:26.692
And that's all right.

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.920
Thank you for sharing your

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.880
valuable time
and energy with me.

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:36.204
This session

00:01:37.525 --> 00:01:41.006
is about trust.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.600
So we'll take the vocabulary

00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:48.591
that we've been
learning together,

00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:51.640
put it into a dance,

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.920
but feel free to find moments

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.996
that are really
individual to you.

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.595
Trust your intuition.

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:08.160
And maybe today,

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:11.280
staying open to a connection

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.400
with something
bigger than yourself,

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.716
uniting with

00:02:17.212 --> 00:02:22.381
something bigger 
than this moment.

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:31.080
And if you're like, "Well, 
that sounds kind of good,

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.000
"but I don't really
know how to do that,"

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.570
tap into your breath,
my darling friend.

00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:43.340
Let your breath be

00:02:44.711 --> 00:02:47.040
the song of your heart,

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.985
the song of your spirit today.

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.680
Draw the hands together.

00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.760
You get to choose, thumbs to
third eye or thumbs to sternum.

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.640
Inhale in deeply,

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:05.840
hands at heart or
thumbs to third eye,

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.720
exhale completely.

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:11.909
Let's breathe together, inhale.

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.413
Exhale together.

00:03:17.250 --> 00:03:20.880
Good, inhale together.

00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:23.630
Exhale bat the eyelashes open

00:03:23.630 --> 00:03:27.360
and let's come
forward onto all fours.

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:28.760
Inhale, drop the belly,

00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:33.200
open the chest,
lengthen through the crown.

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:36.360
Exhale, round through
the spine, chin to chest.

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:41.240
Crown chakra points down
towards the core of the earth.

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.984
Inhale, guide it up
to the sky, the stars.

00:03:47.410 --> 00:03:50.855
Exhale, guide it down

00:03:50.855 --> 00:03:53.695
to the core of the earth.

00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:57.925
Inhale, guide it up.

00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:02.080
Exhale, guide it down.

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.280
Keep moving with the
sound of your breath.

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.360
And so you know the
gross movement here.

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.626
There's an opportunity here

00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:18.240
to just think a little
bit outside the mat,

00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.640
beyond the four
corners of the mat.

00:04:20.640 --> 00:04:24.760
The truth is you've already
been doing this the whole time.

00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:29.600
Sending energy way out
beyond the physical body.

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.000
Connecting to
something bigger than yourself,

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.516
whatever that means to you.

00:04:45.490 --> 00:04:49.520
Now, just like we did
in our Day 28 practice,

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:52.480
start to veer off
the railroad tracks,

00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.360
trust your intuition,
listen to your body,

00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.600
Find What Feels Good.

00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.560
Maybe you take it in circles.

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:04.800
Maybe you bump the
hips left to right.

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.960
Maybe it's an
Extended Child's Pose

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:11.920
or you come all the way
forward into a Cobra or Sphinx.

00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.449
Move with your breath.

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:20.640
And then take whatever dance

00:05:20.640 --> 00:05:23.120
you're starting
to cultivate here,

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.760
take it into that squat.

00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:26.120
So you'll curl the toes under

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.660
and slowly take 
it all the way back

00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:31.560
into your Froggy Squat.

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.440
And same thing here,
soft easy movement.

00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:36.993
Maybe you find a sway.

00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.874
Maybe the palms come up.

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:48.120
And let's take
the hands forward,

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.760
spread the fingertips and

00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:52.920
think about the
center of your body.

00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.840
Navel draws back
in towards the spine,

00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:57.880
lifting up as you
shift your knees forward,

00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:59.480
walk the toes together.

00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:03.840
And this is it,
just rocking front to back,

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:08.018
gaze forward,
extension through the crown.

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.560
Lovely.

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.440
Now drop the heels,
crown of the head to the earth,

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:16.720
Forward Fold.

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.061
Bend your knees as much
as you need here, breathe deep.

00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:30.320
Then slowly walk the hands

00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:32.200
forward all the
way to your Plank,

00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:36.640
lots of energy reaching
from the crown of your head here.

00:06:36.640 --> 00:06:39.640
Heels reach back,
press away from your yoga mat.

00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:41.760
You got this.
Breathe in.

00:06:41.760 --> 00:06:43.400
Breathe out.

00:06:43.400 --> 00:06:45.070
Breathe in.

00:06:45.070 --> 00:06:47.360
Breathe out, 
Downward Facing Dog.

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:48.634
Nice.

00:06:49.960 --> 00:06:53.334
Bend one knee
and then the other.

00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:02.765
Find that nice
audible breath here.

00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:10.680
And after some soft,
easy movement in Downward Dog,

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.320
when you feel satisfied,

00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:15.048
make your way to
the top of your mat.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.800
And when you get there,
you decide,

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.360
feet together
or hip width apart.

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.054
Just nice conscious footing,
toes pointing forward.

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.000
Take some breaths here.

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.640
Find some soft,
easy movement,

00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:34.320
waking up the whole body.

00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:37.440
So we're not working
in just isolated parts,

00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:41.938
but considering the
body as one moving part.

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.320
Now ground through the feet,
find center,

00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:56.596
bend the knees generously
and slowly roll up.

00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:06.478
Stack up through the spine,
lift your heart

00:08:06.478 --> 00:08:07.840
and boom, you're ready.

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:12.080
Think about the energy that's
running from the crown of the

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:14.920
head to the tip of the
tailbone and let your

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:19.720
Mountain Pose really
be an energetic pose,

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.868
whatever that
means for you today.

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.320
Maybe it goes beyond
the crown of the head,

00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:32.338
beyond the soles of the feet,
beyond the fingertips.

00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:37.880
And then bend your knees,

00:08:37.880 --> 00:08:41.800
sweep the arms all
the way up and overhead.

00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:46.720
Exhale, Forward Fold
all the way down.

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.640
Inhale, extend,
send the fingertips back,

00:08:49.640 --> 00:08:52.040
airplane arms,
crown of the head forward,

00:08:52.040 --> 00:08:53.280
pause here.

00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:55.440
Draw the shoulder
blades together and again,

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:56.760
what if that energy moves

00:08:56.760 --> 00:09:00.840
beyond the physical body and
extends out through the crown,

00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.840
the feet, the tail,
the fingertips.

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.280
Does that change the way you

00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:09.800
breathe in the posture
and the way you feel?

00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:12.450
Inhale in here.

00:09:12.450 --> 00:09:14.560
Exhale to release.

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:15.560
Nice.

00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:18.960
Fingertips come to the mat,
step the right foot back,

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.800
lower the right knee, inhale,
sweep the arms all the way up.

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:25.120
Big breath, big stretch here.

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.280
Exhale, fingertips release,
pull the left hip crease back,

00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:31.200
flex your left toes 
towards your face.

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.720
Breathe in.

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.840
Breathe out.

00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.057
Keep extension through
the crown as you breathe in.

00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.800
And then breathe out,
rolling through that left foot,

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:44.240
come back to your lunge.

00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.440
Lift the right knee.

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.320
Now inhale, sweep the arms
forward, up and back again.

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.120
This time back knee lifted.

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.560
But if you want, you can
always keep it lowered, right?

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:54.880
We know this.

00:09:54.880 --> 00:09:57.360
Listen to your body,
inhale, lift the head,

00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.880
the heart up.

00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:02.440
Exhale, fingertips come
all the way to the mat.

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:03.680
Plant the palms,

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:05.960
step the left toes back,
inhale in here,

00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.840
feel free to lower the knees.

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.880
Exhale all the way to the belly.

00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:13.067
Inhale for Cobra.

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.160
Exhale to soften and release.

00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:18.440
Thank you, Benji.

00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.560
Inhale to press up to
all fours or Plank, your choice.

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:24.560
Exhale, Downward Facing Dog.

00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:27.600
Inhale in deeply here.

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.480
Exhale.

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.840
Inhale to look forward.

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.920
Exhale to make your way
to the top of your mat.

00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:36.040
Thank you, buddy.

00:10:36.040 --> 00:10:37.902
Forward Fold.

00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:43.320
Inhale, halfway lift,
airplane arms find length,

00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.440
extend through the crown.

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.766
Exhale to soften and fold.

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.880
Beautiful.
Fingertips come to the mat,

00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:53.400
step the left foot back,

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:54.800
lower the left knee 
to the ground.

00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:56.440
Front knee over front ankle,

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.480
inhale, sweep the 
arms all the way up.

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.480
Big breath, big stretch.

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.000
Exhale all the way down.

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.240
Pull the right hip crease back,

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.120
flex the right
toes towards the face.

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.560
Breathe in.

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:10.080
Breathe out.

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.560
Length through the
crown as you breathe in.

00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:17.680
Breathe out,
roll through that right foot.

00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:19.080
Lift the left knee.

00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.560
Inhale, sweep the
arms up, high lunge.

00:11:21.560 --> 00:11:24.080
Big breath, big stretch.

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.720
Exhale, bring it
all the way down.

00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.760
Plant the palms, step it back.

00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:29.400
Knees can lower
if you like here.

00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:31.120
Inhale, shift forward.

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.160
Exhale, belly to Cobra
or Chaturanga to Up Dog.

00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:37.200
Use an inhale
to lift your heart,

00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.080
lengthen through the crown.

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.600
Exhale to soften and fold.

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.960
Press up to all fours or Plank.

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.263
Inhale.

00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:49.544
Exhale, Downward Facing Dog.

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.760
Inhale, lift the
right leg up high.

00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:57.360
Exhale, shift it
forward, step it all the way up.

00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.960
Back knee lowered or lifted,
your choice.

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:04.240
Inhale, sweep the arms all
the way forward, up and back.

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.320
Breathe in.

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.280
Breathe out,
relax the shoulders.

00:12:08.280 --> 00:12:12.960
Breathe in, maybe carve a
line with your nose, look up.

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:17.160
On your exhale,
slowly rain the fingertips down.

00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:18.600
Left hand comes to the earth.

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.960
Inhale, right fingertips 
to the sky.

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.560
Squeeze your right knee in just

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:26.800
a bit as you pull
your right hip crease back.

00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:28.200
So a little opposition there.

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.520
Inhale in,
lengthen through the crown.

00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:33.680
Exhale, right hand comes
all the way down to the earth.

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:35.080
Step the right toes back.

00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.160
Inhale in, exhale,
straight to Downward Facing Dog.

00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:40.080
Straight to Dog.

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.840
Inhale, lift the
left leg up high.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.920
Exhale, shift it forward,
nice and easy.

00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:48.720
Step the left foot
into your lunge.

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.680
Sweep the arms up,
back knee lowered or lifted.

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:55.080
Inhale, 
big breath here, big stretch.

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.160
Exhale, relax the shoulders.

00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:01.680
Inhale, carve a line
with the nose, look up.

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:04.400
Exhale, rain it down.

00:13:04.400 --> 00:13:06.160
Right hand to the earth.

00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:08.760
Inhale, sweep the
left fingertips up.

00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.480
So we're pulling the
left hip crease back

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.040
but we're also
hugging the left knee in.

00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:16.142
Beautiful. Inhale.

00:13:16.142 --> 00:13:18.680
Exhale, left hand to the earth.

00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:19.880
Step it back to Plank.

00:13:19.880 --> 00:13:23.760
Inhale in, exhale,
Downward Facing Dog.

00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:24.800
Nice.

00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:28.240
Inhale in here,
bend your knees, look forward.

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.640
Exhale, make your 
way to the top.

00:13:31.640 --> 00:13:34.200
Inhale, halfway lift,
airplane arms.

00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.320
Send the fingertips back,
crown forward.

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.026
Exhale, soften and release.

00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:44.080
Root to rise here,
bend your knees.

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.000
Inhale, spread the fingertips.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:49.440
Reach for the sky.
Take up space here.

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:53.880
And then palms come together
and slide down into home.

00:13:53.880 --> 00:13:55.960
Tuck the chin,
head over heart,

00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.080
heart over pelvis here.

00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.400
Preparing for a Tree Pose.

00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:03.520
Shift your weight to
the left foot slowly.

00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:05.680
And from center,
navel draws in and up.

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:07.440
We lift the right knee.

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.960
You got this.
Standing One-Legged Tadasana.

00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.640
Of course, feel free to always

00:14:12.640 --> 00:14:16.635
trust your support
system around you, it's there.

00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:21.680
Then we'll open the right hip,
nice and slow.

00:14:21.680 --> 00:14:24.280
Maybe right toes
stay on the ground.

00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:27.280
Support system right there.

00:14:27.280 --> 00:14:29.680
Maybe the calf.

00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:31.340
Or maybe we 
grab that right heel

00:14:31.340 --> 00:14:34.320
and bring it into
the inseam of the left thigh.

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.440
Find that connection,
that movement of opposing force.

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.435
It's hugging into
the midline here.

00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:46.040
And then maybe you play,
fingertips up.

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:48.518
Maybe you gaze up.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.603
Maybe you take a variation
you've never taken before.

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:02.880
Take a deep breath in.

00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:04.720
Exhale, slow and steady.

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.720
Come back to that
Standing One-Legged Tadasana.

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.240
And then with so
much love and care,

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.520
you can place
the right foot down

00:15:11.520 --> 00:15:13.650
and take it
to the other side.

00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:16.560
And notice how
this side is different.

00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:21.515
You might need to recruit a
support system on this side.

00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:30.156
Trust that you know
what's right for your body today.

00:15:32.680 --> 00:15:38.120
And trust that staying present
with your breath will help

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.080
guide you further in the
evolution of your practice.

00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.360
In other words, don't give up.

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.834
Don't give up.

00:15:56.680 --> 00:15:59.043
Find something new here.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.480
And then we'll meet in that
Standing One-Legged Tadasana.

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.360
So even if you're a dancing,
falling tree,

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:09.560
let's come back to that

00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:12.640
Standing One-Legged
Tadasana for one breath.

00:16:12.640 --> 00:16:14.120
Inhale.

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.240
And exhale, place it down.

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.120
Big breath to reach the
fingertips all the way up.

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.680
Full body stretch.

00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:24.640
Exhale, fold it
down all the way.

00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:27.520
Inhale, airplane arms,
halfway lift.

00:16:27.520 --> 00:16:29.840
Lengthen through
the crown of the head.

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.200
Exhale to soften and fold.

00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.880
Bend the knees,
step or hop it back to Plank.

00:16:37.880 --> 00:16:41.480
Inhale, shift forward,
reach through the crown.

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.600
Exhale, belly to Cobra or
Chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog.

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.691
Take a deep breath here
as you open your heart.

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:54.520
Exhale, Child's Pose, 
your version.

00:16:54.520 --> 00:16:57.560
Send the hips back.

00:16:57.560 --> 00:16:59.499
Melt the heart.

00:17:00.640 --> 00:17:03.182
Stretch the arms forward.

00:17:04.360 --> 00:17:06.720
Inhale, lots of love in.

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.960
Exhale, actively reach
the hip points back.

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.120
Feel that
length in the low back.

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:17.080
Feel that length
in the side body.

00:17:17.080 --> 00:17:20.146
Soften the skin of the forehead.

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.120
Press into the palms,
slowly come back up.

00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:32.050
We're gonna walk 
the knees together

00:17:32.050 --> 00:17:34.000
and curl the toes under.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:39.000
Sit back on the heels and
peek at me if you need to.

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.560
We're gonna learn
Bunny Posture here.

00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:44.160
So we're drawing
the knees together.

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:49.000
We can use a block to bring
the earth up to us if we like.

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.280
But we can also
practice without.

00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:53.520
So from Bunny Posture,
I'm gonna squeeze the legs.

00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:56.240
I'm gonna draw energy up
from the pelvic floor all the way

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.480
up through the spine
just like we've been doing.

00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.560
All the way up to
the crown of the head.

00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:04.754
Crown of the head's gonna
come to the block or the mat.

00:18:06.040 --> 00:18:08.418
Breathing deep here.

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.600
And then release.

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:14.000
Next round, 
we're gonna go back in.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.760
But this time we might grab the

00:18:15.760 --> 00:18:18.150
outer edges of the ankles

00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:20.959
or outer edges of the heels.

00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:24.680
Then from here, inhale in.

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:29.160
Exhale, I'm gonna lift
up just like in Cat Pose.

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.840
Inhale in, exhale,
straightening the arms,

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:33.400
lifting the hips and

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.240
little to no pressure on
the crown of the head,

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.820
not unlike headstands.

00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:44.000
We'll lift the belly up,
breathe.

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.401
Give it a try.

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.480
And then slowly release.

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.320
Bunny Posture.

00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:56.880
From here, lift the knees,
come to your Froggy Squat.

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.320
Hi, buddy.

00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:00.840
Crow Practice.

00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:03.280
So we're moving
from Bunny to Crow.

00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:04.800
Let's do it.

00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:06.720
Fingertips on the mat, inhale.

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.200
Navel draws in and up,
find that core connection.

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.400
This is a core exercise.

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.920
We're gonna lift the hips,
lift the knees as high as we

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.600
can up to the armpit chest
and just find that Drishti,

00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:20.080
that focal point out in front.

00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:23.240
Crown of the head is
extending forward, not down.

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.480
If the crown is down,
you're gonna do a somersault.

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:31.040
Maybe you lift one toe 
and then the other.

00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:34.560
Maybe both toes lift off.

00:19:34.560 --> 00:19:37.320
Again, crown of the head,
reaching forward,

00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:40.840
navel drawing up just
like in Bunny Posture.

00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:43.064
Breathing.

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.800
If you have a block,
sometimes it's nice in a little

00:19:51.800 --> 00:19:55.080
Crow practice play to
give yourself a little perch.

00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:58.831
Just gives you
(chuckles) a little lift.

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.932
So you can create
that fulcrum here.

00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:09.920
Rock back and forth.

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.360
Hug those low ribs in.

00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:16.375
Crown of the head
reaching forward.

00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:23.680
Then after a
little bit of Crow play,

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.600
we're gonna come
back to all fours.

00:20:26.600 --> 00:20:28.160
Shake it out, let it go.

00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.200
Swing the legs
to one side, any side,

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.902
and come to lie on your back.

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.800
Hug the knees into the chest.

00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:46.128
Give yourself a little massage
just for a breath or two.

00:20:50.760 --> 00:20:52.040
Then extend the legs out long.

00:20:52.040 --> 00:20:54.160
You're gonna zip
them tight together.

00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:58.690
Point the toes and walk the 
wrists underneath the glutes.

00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:05.000
So we're opening up
through the front body here,

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:06.534
pointing the toes.

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.080
Palms press actively.

00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:13.036
So not passively but
actively into the mat.

00:21:14.520 --> 00:21:15.880
Inhale in.

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.560
Watch me first before you do it.

00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:19.800
Inhale in, exhale.

00:21:19.800 --> 00:21:20.960
You're gonna press into your

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.960
forearms like Sphinx and
you're gonna lift your chest.

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.200
Crown of the head may
come to the earth, may not.

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.840
Opening up through
the throat, looking back.

00:21:32.840 --> 00:21:38.346
We call this a
variation of Fish Pose.

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:41.560
Let's give it a try.

00:21:41.560 --> 00:21:43.560
When you're ready,
point the toes.

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:46.280
Press actively into
the palms, elbows walk in.

00:21:46.280 --> 00:21:48.360
We press into the forearms,
press into the elbows,

00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:50.000
just like Sphinx Pose.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.232
Lift the chest, crown of
the head comes to the earth.

00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.314
Breathe.

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.120
And then slowly
hug those low ribs in.

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:12.600
Keep active in the
palms as you release.

00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:15.800
Tuck the chin,
release the arms,

00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:18.760
and we'll hug both knees
up slowly into the chest,

00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:21.240
knees wide.

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.680
And then take it to Happy Baby
whenever you're ready.

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.400
Grabbing the outer edges of
the feet or the inner arches.

00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.880
Kicking the soles of
the feet up towards the sky.

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.937
Lengthening the tailbone towards
the front edge of your mat.

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.060
Noticing how you feel.

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:45.800
And then we'll take
it into a Reclined Twist.

00:22:45.800 --> 00:22:49.498
So allow the legs to fall
to one side, any side.

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:53.520
Relaxing the shoulders down.

00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:56.400
Softening through
the skin of the face.

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:58.440
Relaxing the jaw.

00:23:00.623 --> 00:23:02.160
And then rolling
it through center,

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:05.053
taking it to the other side.

00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:13.317
Inhaling deeply.

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:17.858
Exhaling completely.

00:23:20.510 --> 00:23:23.080
And slowly bring it
all the way back up.

00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:25.600
Knees bent, soles of
the feet to the mat.

00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:27.520
Center yourself on your mat.

00:23:27.520 --> 00:23:30.480
Palms pressed down as we slowly

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:32.360
lift the tailbone all the way up

00:23:32.360 --> 00:23:37.864
for one final posture,
Bridge Pose.

00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:44.480
Close your eyes here.

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.960
Feel the connection of
your feet on the earth,

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.040
hands on the earth.

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.200
Inhale in.

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.040
Exhale, start to
soften through the sternum.

00:23:56.040 --> 00:23:58.505
And roll down the spine.

00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:02.482
With so much attention,

00:24:03.573 --> 00:24:05.342
love and care.

00:24:06.600 --> 00:24:08.720
When you're ready,
we can extend one leg out,

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:10.000
then the other.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.560
Turn the palms to face up.

00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:14.120
Snuggle the shoulder blades
underneath your heart space.

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:18.108
Maybe walk your feet,
your ankles out wide today.

00:24:19.520 --> 00:24:21.320
Inhale, lots of love in.

00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:23.960
Biggest breath
you've taken all day.

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:25.760
Exhale, lots of love out.

00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:28.120
Let everything go.
A flash of surrender.

00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:31.973
Can we practice?
Can we trust the stillness?

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:41.156
A total letting go.

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.526
And it's in this
shape that we

00:24:53.786 --> 00:24:56.053
surrender.

00:24:58.320 --> 00:25:01.248
And for me, for me,

00:25:01.248 --> 00:25:04.160
unite with something bigger

00:25:05.507 --> 00:25:07.901
through that surrender.

00:25:17.800 --> 00:25:20.740
So trust the union of yoga

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:24.800
can be of your 
breath and your body,

00:25:24.800 --> 00:25:28.557
your guts,
your intuition and your heart.

00:25:28.557 --> 00:25:33.882
It can also be union of
yourself with your bigger self.

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.320
Never forget.

00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:39.320
Love you guys.
Let's bring the palms together.

00:25:39.320 --> 00:25:42.400
Thumbs to third eye.

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.680
Oh gosh, we have one more
day of this particular journey

00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.080
together and in every
end is a new beginning.

00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:51.010
Tomorrow will be different.

00:25:51.010 --> 00:25:55.160
And I cannot wait to
share that experience with you.

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.759
Thank you for showing up.
Let's take a deep breath in.

00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.620
And a long breath out
to close this practice.

00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:05.700
Namaste.

00:26:06.861 --> 00:26:11.683
(upbeat rhythmic music)
