Obviously, I'm on my yoga mat 00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:25.200 but you do not have to be. 00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:26.720 Wherever you are is wonderful. 00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:28.710 In fact, I love you for selecting this video 00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:32.920 and taking a time on your travels to 00:00:34.365 --> 00:00:35.970 check in with your body, 00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:38.000 do somethin' good for yourself. 00:00:40.091 --> 00:00:42.720 Feet hip width apart, just standing. 00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:46.920 We're not gonna draw too much attention to ourselves. 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.080 Although, you can. 00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:52.900 We are gonna find some nice little stretches and breaths 00:00:52.900 --> 00:00:56.560 to support us on the journey. 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.730 Just stand up nice and tall. If you feel comfortable, 00:00:58.730 --> 00:01:02.860 you can close your eyes or just allow your focus to soften. 00:01:02.860 --> 00:01:05.680 So you can soften your peripheral view. 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.880 Just maybe look down past your nose. 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:11.680 Despite the environment around you, 00:01:12.765 --> 00:01:14.920 come into stillness. Feel your feet on the ground. 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.150 Just ground for a second by taking a deep breath in. 00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:21.880 And a long breath out. 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:25.080 Then drop your left ear over your left shoulder. 00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:27.190 Feel this deep stretch in the neck 00:01:27.190 --> 00:01:30.468 as you draw the shoulder blades together. 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.510 And then for a deeper stretch, you might take the left hand 00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:39.355 over and rest it gently on 00:01:39.355 --> 00:01:42.200 the right temple or the right ear. 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.590 Benji's here if you're a fan of animals. 00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:50.220 Hopefully he'll brighten up your travel day. 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.720 Then we'll release that. Drop your chin through to center to 00:01:56.720 --> 00:01:59.920 your chest and then take it to the other side slowly. 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.280 Right ear over right shoulder. 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.010 Just notice how this side is a little different. 00:02:04.930 --> 00:02:08.558 Maybe you've been carrying a backpack or a bag. 00:02:10.312 --> 00:02:14.141 Or who knows what you've been up to. 00:02:14.141 --> 00:02:15.412 Life is an adventure and 00:02:15.412 --> 00:02:18.335 I'm sure your day is 00:02:20.443 --> 00:02:22.712 emblematic of that. 00:02:22.712 --> 00:02:25.580 Take the right hand up and over. 00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:28.441 Just a soft stretch here, breathe. 00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:36.840 Release that hand, 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.080 come all the way up through center and we're gonna take it 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.655 through some circles now, nice and slow. 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:45.720 For these, I really like to 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:49.210 think about drawing a circle with my nose. 00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:51.220 So, I'm not just gonna throw my head around 00:02:51.220 --> 00:02:55.183 but I'm almost tracing a line with my nose. 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.200 If your shoulders are really creeping up towards your ears, 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:03.747 think about adding a little weight to your fingertips here. 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.206 And then reverse your circle. 00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:11.880 And chances are if anyone sees you doing this at the airport, 00:03:11.880 --> 00:03:15.240 you're gonna inspire them to 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.760 move their neck a little bit which is going to create a 00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:23.350 lovely little ripple effect so high five. 00:03:23.350 --> 00:03:26.160 Bring the head back over the heart. 00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:28.460 If the feet are not together, 00:03:29.563 --> 00:03:30.749 go ahead and draw them together. 00:03:30.749 --> 00:03:35.165 So move them from hip width apart to a nice 00:03:35.165 --> 00:03:37.960 zipped up line in the legs. 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.560 And then we're gonna inhale reach the arms up and overhead, 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.590 interlace the fingertips and you're just gonna bump the 00:03:43.590 --> 00:03:48.000 hips to one side as you stretch and then press into 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.640 the heels and the feet and go to the other side. 00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:55.040 Just a couple of times back and forth. 00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:56.840 And again, if someone sees you doing this, 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.871 chances are you're gonna inspire them 00:03:58.871 --> 00:04:00.960 to take a little stretch and check in with 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.540 their body so I think that is awesome. 00:04:07.321 --> 00:04:08.760 Then we'll release that. 00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:12.010 We're gonna interlace the fingertips now behind the back. 00:04:12.010 --> 00:04:15.140 Keep the legs zipped up here if you can. 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.120 And if you're doing this seated, 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.026 you can just melt your belly over your thighs in your chair. 00:04:23.026 --> 00:04:25.560 Opening up through the chest here. 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.320 We're working to get the palms together 00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:29.440 but it might be really tight so you might 00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:33.100 square the wrists like I'm doing here. 00:04:36.030 --> 00:04:38.530 Then inhale, lengthen through the front body. 00:04:38.530 --> 00:04:41.474 Maybe take your gaze up just a little bit. 00:04:41.474 --> 00:04:42.810 And then, exhale we're gonna 00:04:42.810 --> 00:04:46.004 bow forward with a bend in the knees. 00:04:46.004 --> 00:04:47.120 Ooh. 00:04:49.873 --> 00:04:52.240 For stability, squeeze the legs. 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.400 Just allow some blood to flow to the head here. 00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:58.840 Reach your knuckles up towards the sky. 00:05:01.421 --> 00:05:05.509 Make sure you're breathing here and not holding your breath. 00:05:10.010 --> 00:05:11.760 And then ground through your feet, 00:05:11.760 --> 00:05:16.771 keep your knees bent as you slowly rise back up. 00:05:18.014 --> 00:05:18.720 Great. 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.430 Release the bind now 00:05:20.430 --> 00:05:23.980 and you're gonna bring your fingertips to your shoulders. 00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:26.010 You can bring the feet back to 00:05:26.010 --> 00:05:28.270 shoulder width if that feels more stable or keep them 00:05:28.270 --> 00:05:30.530 together or maybe you're in a seat. 00:05:30.530 --> 00:05:33.230 We're just gonna slowly twist a 00:05:33.230 --> 00:05:35.850 little to the right and the left. 00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:38.160 And this is gonna be a little 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.098 fasted pace here as much as you're comfortable doing. 00:05:42.098 --> 00:05:43.440 We're not here for long. 00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:47.012 Breathing deep, lengthening up through the crown of the head. 00:05:47.012 --> 00:05:50.920 Just energizing a bit here, getting some mobility. 00:05:51.820 --> 00:05:53.030 It's fine. 00:05:56.158 --> 00:05:58.720 And then we'll come back to center. 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.740 You're just gonna take some circles now with elbows. 00:06:04.376 --> 00:06:05.936 Oh, yeah. 00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:09.095 Then reverse it. 00:06:15.930 --> 00:06:17.416 Nice.
