1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,203
- Hey everyone 
and welcome to TRUE,

2
00:00:03,203 --> 00:00:04,504
your 30 day yoga journey.

3
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:06,016
It's day 26.

4
00:00:06,016 --> 00:00:08,121
Be still my beating heart.

5
00:00:08,121 --> 00:00:10,811
Hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

6
00:00:10,811 --> 00:00:14,047
(uplifting music)

7
00:00:20,821 --> 00:00:21,955
Okay, my friends.

8
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:25,292
Let's begin today in 
a nice comfortable seat.

9
00:00:25,292 --> 00:00:28,495
We're gonna begin with 
alternate nostril breathing.

10
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:30,831
So we're gonna bring it all in

11
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:32,098
with a little Pranayama today.

12
00:00:32,098 --> 00:00:33,934
So no matter 
what your day is like

13
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:35,215
or your morning, 
or your evening,

14
00:00:35,215 --> 00:00:38,228
or whenever you're 
practicing, we can use this

15
00:00:38,228 --> 00:00:42,075
breath to really 
just come spiral

16
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:46,446
into the present moment 
and find a little stillness.

17
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:50,684
Stillness doesn't 
always mean stillness in body

18
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:53,520
although we'll play a 
little bit with that today.

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,614
It can be something 
that we strive to

20
00:00:57,614 --> 00:01:00,694
return to on a 
regular basis just to

21
00:01:01,862 --> 00:01:05,132
keep the inner 
ecosystem healthy.

22
00:01:06,796 --> 00:01:09,569
I think you probably 
know what I'm talking about.

23
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:12,506
If you don't, shoot me an email.

24
00:01:12,506 --> 00:01:13,574
No, I'm just kidding.

25
00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:16,743
Sit up nice and tall.

26
00:01:19,713 --> 00:01:21,415
Let's just get settled in here.

27
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:22,816
Take a deep breath in.

28
00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:28,355
And as we've been 
doing, use that exhale

29
00:01:28,355 --> 00:01:31,158
to actively relax 
your shoulders down.

30
00:01:31,158 --> 00:01:32,626
Now the idea is 
that we kind of get

31
00:01:32,626 --> 00:01:35,262
in the habit of doing 
this simple gesture of love

32
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:37,597
and then on the 
mat and then you do it

33
00:01:37,597 --> 00:01:39,700
more naturally and 
it's more available

34
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,468
at the ready 
for you off the mat.

35
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:43,470
So it's very simple.

36
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:48,608
Just take a nice conscious
breath in and use your exhale

37
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:51,244
to consciously 
relax your shoulders down.

38
00:01:54,381 --> 00:01:56,294
Great, then we're just going 
to nod the head a little bit

39
00:01:56,294 --> 00:01:58,085
"Yes" and "No" but nice and slow

40
00:01:58,085 --> 00:02:00,220
so you can really pay 
attention to this sensation

41
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:04,608
as you drop your chin 
down and lift your chin up.

42
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:11,064
Then bring it 
back to center and

43
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:12,833
of course take it the other way.

44
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:14,501
And as you do this, 
see if you can

45
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:16,536
activate the 
upper back body a bit.

46
00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:18,038
So if you're rounding down here,

47
00:02:18,038 --> 00:02:19,973
see if you can draw the 
shoulder blades together

48
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,009
and lift your 
heart up a little more.

49
00:02:23,855 --> 00:02:25,245
Yeah, yeah!

50
00:02:25,245 --> 00:02:27,848
Alright, come back to 
center and we'll begin.

51
00:02:27,848 --> 00:02:31,051
You're gonna take the 
hand that you dominate with.

52
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:33,487
(laughs) That sounds wrong.

53
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:36,923
Your dominant hand, any hand.

54
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:39,793
And we're gonna plug the
right nostril with the thumb.

55
00:02:41,028 --> 00:02:43,497
Take a deep breath in 
through your left nostril.

56
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:48,869
You're gonna pause at 
the top, hold your breath,

57
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:51,772
retain the breath, and then
you're gonna seal the left

58
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:54,641
nostril with your 
ring finger and then

59
00:02:54,641 --> 00:02:56,810
exhale out 
through the right nostril.

60
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:00,380
And inhale 
through the right nostril.

61
00:03:03,216 --> 00:03:06,753
We always pause, 
retain, switch and seal

62
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:10,023
at the top and then exhale
out through your left nostril.

63
00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:12,392
Alright, here we go.

64
00:03:12,392 --> 00:03:13,293
Inhale it.

65
00:03:17,264 --> 00:03:19,866
Pause, seal and switch.

66
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,703
Exhale all the way out.

67
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,013
Long exhale.

68
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:29,076
Inhale.

69
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:37,684
Pause at the top, 
switch, seal, and exhale.

70
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:42,222
Inhale.

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,095
Retain the breath at the top,

72
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:50,130
seal and switch and then exhale.

73
00:03:52,099 --> 00:03:53,400
Now soften your gaze.

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,268
Close your eyes 
and keep it going.

75
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:03,343
Seeing if you can 
really elongate the breath.

76
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:07,781
Keep the shoulders relaxed.

77
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:09,116
A gentle lift in the heart.

78
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:23,430
And once you 
get a little rhythm,

79
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:25,098
see if you can, 
again, close your eyes

80
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,797
or soften your gaze so 
you can really feel this out.

81
00:04:27,797 --> 00:04:32,172
Feel the soothing effects of
this Pranayama Nadi Shodhana.

82
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:56,997
Then go ahead and even it out.

83
00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:00,867
Even out right side, left side.

84
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:09,075
Then you'll release both hands
to the knees or the thighs

85
00:05:10,076 --> 00:05:12,612
and take a deep breath 
in through both nostrils

86
00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:16,550
and exhale out 
through both nostrils.

87
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:21,121
Just take a moment 
to find stillness.

88
00:05:23,023 --> 00:05:24,925
This Pranayama practice known

89
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:27,160
to quiet or to still the mind.

90
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:36,212
Excellent for 
anxiety or just that

91
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,251
anxious energy.

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,209
Chaotic energy.

93
00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:51,293
Awesome, then gently 
open your eyes,

94
00:05:51,293 --> 00:05:53,286
we'll bring the hands together.

95
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:57,557
Bow the head to the hands 
and then let's dive on in.

96
00:05:57,557 --> 00:06:01,962
We're gonna come onto 
all fours, Tabletop Position.

97
00:06:06,266 --> 00:06:09,569
Take a couple rounds of 
Cat-Cow when you're ready.

98
00:06:09,569 --> 00:06:12,105
Placing the hands 
and feet mindfully

99
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:14,941
and starting to really 
sync up with your breath here.

100
00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:17,377
You know what to do, 
inhale, drop the belly.

101
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:20,247
Exhale around through the spine.

102
00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:24,951
Use this as an 
opportunity to really

103
00:06:24,951 --> 00:06:27,320
explore how 
you're feeling today.

104
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,490
Chances are there 
are places that might

105
00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:32,692
be a little sore, a little awake

106
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:36,884
from your previous practices.

107
00:06:39,466 --> 00:06:42,469
So I've said it before but
careful, no yoga robots here.

108
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:44,738
Cat-Cow, you know, 
like, use it as an opportunity

109
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:47,040
to explore and that said, 
you can go ahead

110
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,811
and veer off the railroad tracks
whenever you feel like it.

111
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:54,047
Bumping the hips a 
little left to right.

112
00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:57,851
Checking in with the side body,

113
00:06:57,851 --> 00:07:01,288
the shoulders, maybe the feet.

114
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:05,425
And then you're gonna use this

115
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,694
little dance 
that you've created.

116
00:07:07,694 --> 00:07:12,299
Keep a mindful 
awareness in the hands.

117
00:07:12,299 --> 00:07:15,001
We'll use this dance 
to slowly curl the toes

118
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:17,637
under and make your 
way to Downward Facing Dog.

119
00:07:17,637 --> 00:07:19,939
Keep it going, find that flow.

120
00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:25,412
As you deepen your breath, 
stretch it out.

121
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:33,186
And then you're gonna 
plant the hands mindfully.

122
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:35,722
Make sure they're 
not too narrow here but

123
00:07:35,722 --> 00:07:37,490
widen the hands a bit today.

124
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:40,393
Maybe even turn 
pinkies out, thumbs towards

125
00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:43,229
the front of your mat 
just a bit so you can feel

126
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:44,831
that outer rotation 
because we're gonna

127
00:07:44,831 --> 00:07:48,435
come to stillness 
here as you're ready

128
00:07:48,435 --> 00:07:51,338
allowing the blood 
to flow to the head

129
00:07:51,338 --> 00:07:54,341
as you draw the 
navel in just a bit here.

130
00:07:54,341 --> 00:07:57,043
So if you're dumping all your
energy towards your knees,

131
00:07:57,043 --> 00:07:58,845
see if you can 
draw the navel in a bit

132
00:07:58,845 --> 00:08:02,649
to support the back body 
and we'll find stillness here.

133
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:08,855
Let your breath move 
within this structure.

134
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,765
Then we'll slowly 
bend the knees.

135
00:08:18,765 --> 00:08:21,468
Look forward and then 
you're gonna take baby steps,

136
00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:25,038
just baby steps, tippy-toe
steps all the way to the top

137
00:08:25,038 --> 00:08:27,307
so take your time getting there.

138
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:29,943
There's a bit of 
humility of course

139
00:08:29,943 --> 00:08:31,778
in this transition, 
always, that I love

140
00:08:31,778 --> 00:08:34,813
so don't bypass 
that awesome opportunity

141
00:08:34,813 --> 00:08:36,916
to connect with that, 
always good.

142
00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:40,761
And then we'll 
come to Forward Fold

143
00:08:40,761 --> 00:08:42,288
at the top of the mat.

144
00:08:42,288 --> 00:08:45,125
Clasp the elbows, 
rock a little side to side.

145
00:08:48,895 --> 00:08:49,878
And then bend your knees,

146
00:08:49,878 --> 00:08:52,528
send some extra love 
to your lower back.

147
00:08:56,736 --> 00:09:00,407
Begin to listen 
with more intention

148
00:09:00,407 --> 00:09:01,474
to the sound of your breath.

149
00:09:01,474 --> 00:09:03,309
So really get obsessed with the

150
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:05,078
sound of your 
breath here, today.

151
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:09,849
And then release 
the arms and when

152
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:11,885
you're ready, 
you slowly roll it up.

153
00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:19,426
And then go ahead 
and bring the hands

154
00:09:19,426 --> 00:09:22,629
together as roll 
up into your Mountain.

155
00:09:22,629 --> 00:09:25,298
And then yogi's choice, 
feet hip width apart

156
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:27,600
or really together, 
just nice conscious footing.

157
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,402
Toes pointed forward then you're

158
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:32,038
gonna squeeze the 
shoulders up to the ears.

159
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:35,141
Squeeze, squeeze, 
squeeze, take a deep breath in.

160
00:09:35,141 --> 00:09:37,944
Then bring them up, 
up, up, around and back.

161
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:39,813
Loop the shoulders, 
lift your heart.

162
00:09:39,813 --> 00:09:42,582
Tailbone lengthens down, 
you feel plugged in,

163
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:45,018
connected, active 
in the lower body.

164
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:49,489
And then we're gonna 
slowly just lift all the toes

165
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,927
and then place the 
toes down nice and slow.

166
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:57,363
Just a little awareness in
all four corners of the feet.

167
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:00,475
Awesome. Then we're gonna 
bend the knees, here we go,

168
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,101
big inhale to reach for the sky.

169
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,271
Now you're gonna stay here, 
open the palms,

170
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:08,575
wrap the shoulder 
blades around, and then

171
00:10:08,575 --> 00:10:10,009
press through all 
four corners of the feet.

172
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:11,845
You can even lift the 
toes again if that helps.

173
00:10:11,845 --> 00:10:13,146
Draw energy up from the arches.

174
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:14,147
Volcano Pose.

175
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:17,183
Draw energy in so hug the lower

176
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:20,420
ribs in and then draw energy up.

177
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:21,788
Volcano Pose.

178
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:24,624
Tuck the chin and 
then start to breath

179
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:28,094
like you love yourself here. 
Nice full, deep breaths.

180
00:10:28,094 --> 00:10:28,962
And then you're gonna send your

181
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,864
gaze just down past your nose.

182
00:10:30,864 --> 00:10:32,999
Lift the kneecaps, 
kind of engage the quads.

183
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:35,134
Tailbone lengthens down.

184
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,436
The body is really active here.

185
00:10:36,436 --> 00:10:40,206
We're playing with reaching
and lifting and then grounding.

186
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:48,314
That stability with that ease.

187
00:10:48,615 --> 00:10:50,650
Keep breathing here, you got it.

188
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:53,620
Volcano Pose.

189
00:10:58,591 --> 00:11:01,194
So the energetic 
body is working here,

190
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:05,098
playing with balancing 
those two opposing energies.

191
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:08,735
Explore for one 
more breath cycle.

192
00:11:08,735 --> 00:11:10,136
I know your arms 
are getting tired.

193
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:11,571
Stick with me, stick with it.

194
00:11:15,475 --> 00:11:19,656
Awesome, then inhale to carve a 
line with your nose to look up.

195
00:11:19,656 --> 00:11:21,881
Exhale, palms come together, 
and you're gonna bend

196
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:25,251
the knees, and slowly, mindfully
take it down through the

197
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:28,054
midline all the way 
down to your Forward Fold.

198
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:32,535
Nice. Inhale.

199
00:11:32,535 --> 00:11:34,090
Halfway lift your version.

200
00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:36,095
Just find length in the spine.

201
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:38,231
Tug the shoulders 
away from the ears.

202
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:41,568
And then exhale, 
soften and fold.

203
00:11:42,735 --> 00:11:46,450
Great. From here, right toes 
are gonna slide all the way back

204
00:11:46,450 --> 00:11:48,074
and we'll lower the right knee.

205
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:51,330
Inhale. Sweep the 
arms all the way up.

206
00:11:51,330 --> 00:11:54,747
Your volcano arms, 
big stretch, big breath.

207
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:57,050
Exhale, from here, 
the navel draws in and up.

208
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:58,017
We've got this.

209
00:11:58,017 --> 00:11:59,385
We're gonna lift up,
straighten the leg

210
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:03,012
and paint a wall to 
come all the way back down.

211
00:12:03,012 --> 00:12:05,658
Bend that left knee, 
pull that left hip crease back.

212
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:08,895
Breathe deep and then 
on your next inhale,

213
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:11,731
take a moment to 
open through the chest

214
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,833
and then bow the head forward.

215
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:22,275
Then rolling 
through your left foot,

216
00:12:22,275 --> 00:12:23,509
you're gonna lift the back knee.

217
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:24,344
We got this.

218
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:26,946
Inhale, high lunge, 
you can always keep it lower.

219
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:28,748
Reach the 
fingertips all the way up.

220
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:30,350
Big stretch, big breath.

221
00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:33,488
You're connected.
Big volcano arms here.

222
00:12:33,488 --> 00:12:37,390
And then exhale and 
release it all the way down.

223
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:38,591
Pyramid variation.

224
00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:42,772
Lift up from the hips 
so lift the hips up high

225
00:12:42,772 --> 00:12:46,099
and then you're gonna walk
that back foot in and option

226
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,868
to stick with the variation 
or bring the heel down

227
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:51,137
but you're gonna 
wanna walk it in just a bit.

228
00:12:55,341 --> 00:12:56,309
Inhale.

229
00:12:57,577 --> 00:12:58,411
Exhale.

230
00:12:58,411 --> 00:12:59,245
Bend your back knee.

231
00:12:59,245 --> 00:13:01,681
You're gonna simply step the
back foot up to meet the front.

232
00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:03,049
Forward Fold.

233
00:13:03,049 --> 00:13:05,151
Inhale, halfway lift, reset.

234
00:13:06,286 --> 00:13:07,286
Exhale, fold.

235
00:13:08,888 --> 00:13:10,657
Slide the left toes back, now.

236
00:13:10,657 --> 00:13:12,525
Lower the left knee.

237
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:15,094
Inhale, sweep the arms up.

238
00:13:15,094 --> 00:13:16,095
Connect.

239
00:13:16,095 --> 00:13:18,398
Draw energy up, ground down.

240
00:13:18,398 --> 00:13:20,066
Find your moment 
of stillness, here.

241
00:13:20,066 --> 00:13:21,501
Big breath.

242
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:22,902
And then to exhale, here we go,

243
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:24,470
navel draws in 
and up, we straighten

244
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:25,605
through the front 
leg and we're gonna

245
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:28,141
paint the wall to 
come all the way down.

246
00:13:29,382 --> 00:13:31,948
Then bend through that 
front knee just a bit.

247
00:13:31,948 --> 00:13:33,746
Pull the right hip crease back.

248
00:13:34,747 --> 00:13:38,651
Use an inhale to open, 
broaden through the chest.

249
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:41,521
And then an exhale to bow 
the head forward and down.

250
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:46,159
So drop what 
the pose looks like.

251
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,495
I could come here 
but I'm working with

252
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:51,130
what's going on 
in my body today.

253
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:54,267
Keep that in mind.

254
00:13:54,267 --> 00:13:55,368
Take stock.

255
00:13:58,438 --> 00:14:00,273
Rolling through the 
right foot when you're ready.

256
00:14:00,273 --> 00:14:02,175
Lifting that back 
knee up if you like

257
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:03,843
and then here we go, big inhale

258
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,079
to sweep the arms 
all the way and overhead.

259
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:07,613
Find a moment 
of stillness, here.

260
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:09,782
Big breath, big stretch.

261
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:13,820
And then exhale to take it down.

262
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:15,988
Step the back foot in, 
Pyramid variation.

263
00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:17,924
Or if you like, 
you can drop that heel.

264
00:14:19,392 --> 00:14:20,326
Breathe deep.

265
00:14:20,326 --> 00:14:21,861
Keep lifting up 
through the right

266
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:23,763
hip crease so it's pulling back.

267
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,909
And then bend your 
back knee and we're gonna

268
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:39,846
rock the back foot up to
meet the front, Forward Fold.

269
00:14:39,846 --> 00:14:41,914
Inhale to halfway lift, 
your version.

270
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:42,949
Reset.

271
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:44,984
And exhale to fold.

272
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:46,969
Awesome. Big inhale 
to reach for the sky.

273
00:14:48,621 --> 00:14:50,223
And exhale, hands to heart.

274
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:53,226
Find stillness, close your eyes,
observe the breath.

275
00:15:06,806 --> 00:15:08,374
Great then bat 
the eyelashes open.

276
00:15:08,374 --> 00:15:10,143
Bend your knees and here we go,

277
00:15:10,143 --> 00:15:12,411
inhale and reach for 
the sky, Volcano Pose.

278
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:15,148
Lift the toes, connect, 
draw energy from the arches

279
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:18,551
up through the kneecaps, 
the inner thighs.

280
00:15:18,551 --> 00:15:20,353
Inner thighs 
spiral in and the tailbone

281
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:22,655
lengthens down, 
we feel that connect.

282
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:26,225
Big breath, big stretch.

283
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:29,028
Maybe this time you 
take the gaze all the way up.

284
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:36,202
And then if you're 
holding your breath here,

285
00:15:37,663 --> 00:15:39,839
don't do that. (laughs)

286
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:40,673
Breathe deep.

287
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:42,241
When you are in 
stillness can you

288
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:44,937
allow the breath to move you?

289
00:15:44,937 --> 00:15:46,445
One more breath, 
you've got this.

290
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:47,847
Maybe lean back a bit.

291
00:15:47,847 --> 00:15:49,315
Press into your heels.

292
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,585
Great and then 
bring the palms together

293
00:15:52,585 --> 00:15:54,921
and slow and with control,

294
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:57,523
with finesse, 
all the way down, no force.

295
00:15:58,724 --> 00:16:01,327
Inhale, halfway lift, 
your version.

296
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:05,498
Find length and then 
exhale to soften and bow.

297
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:07,633
Plant the palms, 
step the right toes back,

298
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,369
step the left toes back, 
gonna get off the arms today.

299
00:16:10,369 --> 00:16:11,571
So only one breath here.

300
00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:15,708
Inhale in and then exhale 
all the way onto the belly.

301
00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:18,845
Beautiful.

302
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:20,346
You're gonna press 
into the pubic bone here.

303
00:16:20,346 --> 00:16:21,480
Press into the tops of the feet.

304
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,650
Interlace the 
fingertips behind the back.

305
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,719
Keep it nice and easy here
as you look the shoulders,

306
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:29,622
once again, tuck the chin, 
inhale, and exhale.

307
00:16:29,622 --> 00:16:32,691
Lift the chest, nice and easy.

308
00:16:32,691 --> 00:16:36,629
Gaze is down, 
keep the chin tucking here.

309
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:41,567
Breathing deep and 
then find stillness

310
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:43,769
and just allow your 
breath to move you here.

311
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:51,077
Then take one more breath here

312
00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:54,614
and then on an exhale, release.

313
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:56,582
Press into the palms, 
connect to your center,

314
00:16:56,582 --> 00:16:59,552
come back to all fours, 
curl the toes under,

315
00:16:59,552 --> 00:17:03,456
and gently peel the tail up, 
Downward Facing Dog.

316
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:05,057
Right away we're gonna inhale.

317
00:17:05,057 --> 00:17:06,125
Lift the right leg up high.

318
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:08,560
Claw through the 
fingertips and exhale.

319
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,131
Step it all the way up 
and in to your lunge.

320
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:13,598
We're gonna bring the 
right hand over to meet

321
00:17:13,598 --> 00:17:15,034
the left and we'll 
lower the back knee

322
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:18,424
coming into a 
Lizard variation here.

323
00:17:18,424 --> 00:17:19,913
Now, breathe deep.

324
00:17:21,674 --> 00:17:24,542
Full body awareness.

325
00:17:24,542 --> 00:17:26,479
Notice what's going on today.

326
00:17:26,479 --> 00:17:27,813
Every practice is different.

327
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:31,450
You gotta be really present
with your body in this moment.

328
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:33,953
Your Lizard that you 
did before is gonna be

329
00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:35,721
different now or 
maybe you've never come into

330
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:39,292
this shape before 
and so paying attention.

331
00:17:41,327 --> 00:17:43,095
If you feel good here, you might

332
00:17:43,095 --> 00:17:45,231
experiment with 
coming to the forearms.

333
00:17:46,832 --> 00:17:48,935
You might lift 
that back knee up.

334
00:17:51,203 --> 00:17:53,172
Breathing deep here, 
we want to get

335
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:55,207
into a place where 
we can find stillness

336
00:17:55,207 --> 00:17:58,945
in the body and allow the breath
to really move within that.

337
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:01,881
So once you feel like you've
set yourself up for greatness,

338
00:18:03,182 --> 00:18:05,117
pull the right hip 
crease back, lift the hips up

339
00:18:05,117 --> 00:18:08,454
just like in 
Pyramid and breathe.

340
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:10,489
Nice, long, beautiful neck.

341
00:18:10,489 --> 00:18:14,694
Lots of awareness, cultivating
a healthy flow of energy

342
00:18:16,696 --> 00:18:18,731
up and down your spinal chord.

343
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,334
Breathing deep.

344
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:23,302
Back knee can 
be lowered or lifted.

345
00:18:25,204 --> 00:18:27,773
Use the stillness to push you

346
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:31,007
into a breath with more depth.

347
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:44,757
Beautiful.

348
00:18:44,757 --> 00:18:47,460
Use the hands to slowly come up.

349
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:48,694
Really, really nice.

350
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:52,565
We're gonna walk the 
right foot back to center

351
00:18:52,565 --> 00:18:55,334
and then we're gonna 
repeat this runner's stretch.

352
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:57,436
This time pressing into 
the top of the back foot.

353
00:18:57,436 --> 00:18:59,805
So give those 
toes a break and pull

354
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,374
the right hip crease back, 
nice and easy.

355
00:19:01,374 --> 00:19:03,142
A little wave in 
the spine, inhale to

356
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:06,712
look forward, exhale to release.

357
00:19:06,712 --> 00:19:07,546
Awesome.

358
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:09,979
Slowly coming through, 
we'll plant the palms.

359
00:19:09,979 --> 00:19:12,685
We're just gonna step it 
right back to the Downward Dog.

360
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:16,489
Inhale, lift the 
left leg up high.

361
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:17,757
Here we go.

362
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:21,494
Exhale, slow and 
steady up into your lunge.

363
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:24,448
Great. Lower the back knee,
bring the left hand around

364
00:19:24,448 --> 00:19:26,432
and let's see 
what this side is like.

365
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,468
Breathing deep.

366
00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:31,570
So remember, be aware.

367
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:36,976
And then once you feel 
like you've figured out

368
00:19:36,976 --> 00:19:40,546
where you would like to 
be on this side, be still.

369
00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:44,483
Let your breath move 
you within that stillness.

370
00:19:44,483 --> 00:19:46,208
Find more depth.

371
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:48,681
And then honestly, 
watch the magic unfold

372
00:19:48,681 --> 00:19:52,114
when you do this, 
when you find stillness

373
00:19:52,114 --> 00:19:54,427
and allow the breath 
the move within that.

374
00:20:17,783 --> 00:20:20,019
And then notice if it's 
hard to be still in this.

375
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:22,688
I notice on this side it's
very hard for me to be still

376
00:20:22,688 --> 00:20:25,091
and this is great information.

377
00:20:25,091 --> 00:20:26,492
Just keep listening.

378
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:39,338
And then connect to 
your center, your core

379
00:20:39,338 --> 00:20:41,273
as you press into the palms.

380
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,375
Slowly come up and 
walk that left foot in.

381
00:20:43,375 --> 00:20:45,791
Lower the back knee 
if it isn't already

382
00:20:45,791 --> 00:20:48,047
and then here we go, 
we'll pull the left hip crease

383
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:49,782
back, flex the left 
toes towards your face,

384
00:20:49,782 --> 00:20:51,550
find a little wave in the spine,

385
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:54,420
catch a wave, 
inhale, press into the top

386
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:56,355
of that back foot to 
just give that foot a break

387
00:20:56,355 --> 00:20:59,625
and then bow the head.

388
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:02,928
Awesome.

389
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:05,097
Slowly bring it forward.

390
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:06,098
We're gonna plant the palms.

391
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:07,566
Step it back to Downward Dog.

392
00:21:07,566 --> 00:21:09,769
This is it, 
we're near the end here.

393
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,470
So take a nice deep breath in.

394
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:15,508
Exhale out through the 
mouth and find stillness.

395
00:21:16,375 --> 00:21:20,613
Inner thighs rotate in, 
upper arm bones rotate out.

396
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,517
Upper arm bones, that was hard.

397
00:21:26,318 --> 00:21:29,688
Sits bones shine 
left to right, hip creases lift.

398
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:32,458
Claw through the fingertips.

399
00:21:33,526 --> 00:21:35,361
Draw the lower ribs in.

400
00:21:35,361 --> 00:21:36,595
Find stillness here.

401
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:37,930
Breathe deep.

402
00:21:37,930 --> 00:21:40,536
Your spirit, 
your breath, swirling

403
00:21:40,536 --> 00:21:43,615
and whirling 
inside your container.

404
00:21:43,615 --> 00:21:47,006
So alive, waking up 
the inner ecosystem.

405
00:21:49,074 --> 00:21:50,609
Yes. (laughs)

406
00:21:50,609 --> 00:21:52,211
Take a deep breath in.

407
00:21:52,211 --> 00:21:54,313
Slow descend of the knees down.

408
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:55,848
Beautiful.

409
00:21:55,848 --> 00:21:57,683
Come to nice, 
comfortable seat of your choice.

410
00:21:57,683 --> 00:21:59,785
It can be cross-legged, 
it can be on the knees,

411
00:21:59,785 --> 00:22:01,554
and you're gonna 
flip the palms up

412
00:22:01,554 --> 00:22:04,490
in whatever seat you 
choose and sit up nice and tall

413
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:06,125
and just feel 
that flush of energy.

414
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:07,693
Try not to 
fidget here if you can.

415
00:22:07,693 --> 00:22:09,195
Just be really still.

416
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:11,430
Feel the flush of energy.

417
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:13,599
Just notice 
anything at all and it

418
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:14,867
doesn't have to be 
positive, if you have

419
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:18,270
a little bit of a headache
today, let's notice that, too.

420
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:19,305
It's all good.

421
00:22:23,609 --> 00:22:24,443
Yoga.

422
00:22:25,644 --> 00:22:28,047
So good for 
headaches, by the way.

423
00:22:28,047 --> 00:22:30,953
So many wonderful 
healing tools in the practice.

424
00:22:36,856 --> 00:22:39,959
Alright, take one more cycle
of breath to be really still.

425
00:22:43,429 --> 00:22:45,497
Listen to the sounds around you.

426
00:23:03,349 --> 00:23:05,284
I love stillness 
practice and I love

427
00:23:05,284 --> 00:23:08,053
practicing being 
still because one,

428
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:09,488
to me it's really elegant.

429
00:23:10,823 --> 00:23:14,501
Two, it really is a

430
00:23:14,501 --> 00:23:16,061
nice way of slowing down

431
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:17,997
and honoring 
where you are, exactly

432
00:23:17,997 --> 00:23:19,565
where you are and who you are.

433
00:23:20,499 --> 00:23:21,600
Honoring the practice.

434
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:26,805
Let's bring the palms together.

435
00:23:26,805 --> 00:23:29,808
Draw those thumbs 
up to the third eye.

436
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:32,411
Speaking of honor.

437
00:23:35,481 --> 00:23:39,911
Honoring the highest within

438
00:23:39,911 --> 00:23:42,621
ourselves and each other.

439
00:23:42,621 --> 00:23:43,809
Killing it. Doing awesome.

440
00:23:43,809 --> 00:23:44,857
I'll see you tomorrow.

441
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:46,125
Take good care.

442
00:23:46,125 --> 00:23:47,026
Namaste.

443
00:23:47,026 --> 00:23:50,362
(uplifting music)
