00:00:00.333 --> 00:00:01.458
- Hi everyone.

00:00:01.458 --> 00:00:05.208
Welcome to Dedicate,
your 30 day yoga journey.

00:00:05.208 --> 00:00:08.166
It's Day 0, okay?

00:00:08.166 --> 00:00:10.375
So you may or may not know but

00:00:10.375 --> 00:00:13.708
on this day we actually don't
do any yoga. It's Day 0.

00:00:13.708 --> 00:00:17.708
Just a quick little
orientation day to say hey and

00:00:17.708 --> 00:00:21.917
you're awesome and way to
dedicate the next 30 days

00:00:21.917 --> 00:00:24.708
to taking time on your yoga mat.

00:00:24.708 --> 00:00:27.375
So amazing.
You're in for a real treat.

00:00:27.375 --> 00:00:30.917
So today, wherever this
video finds you I'd just like to

00:00:30.917 --> 00:00:33.458
invite you to
take a deep breath in.

00:00:33.458 --> 00:00:35.125
And as you exhale just know

00:00:35.125 --> 00:00:37.583
(sighs) you've made
an amazing choice.

00:00:37.583 --> 00:00:41.708
Thank you so much for saying yes
to going on this journey with me

00:00:41.708 --> 00:00:44.458
and people all across the globe.

00:00:44.458 --> 00:00:45.166
It's gonna be awesome.

00:00:45.166 --> 00:00:47.000
Today just a few little tips,

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.667
pointers that might help you set

00:00:49.667 --> 00:00:51.458
yourself up for greatness.

00:00:52.375 --> 00:00:54.333
First, keep an open mind.

00:00:54.333 --> 00:00:56.750
An open mind and an open heart.

00:00:56.750 --> 00:00:59.792
This little
journey tells a story.

00:00:59.792 --> 00:01:04.250
It's not your
normal yoga practice.

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:06.625
We will make sure you're safe.

00:01:06.625 --> 00:01:10.125
We'll focus on action and
alignment but ultimately this is

00:01:10.125 --> 00:01:14.542
about breathing and listening
and spending time with yourself.

00:01:14.542 --> 00:01:16.125
Are you gonna get strong?

00:01:16.125 --> 00:01:18.917
Are you going to
gain muscle definition?

00:01:18.917 --> 00:01:22.041
Absolutely, we are
gonna work hard

00:01:22.041 --> 00:01:24.583
but in a really mindful way.

00:01:24.583 --> 00:01:26.375
So keep an open mind.

00:01:26.375 --> 00:01:30.208
Come with an open heart and be
willing to learn something new.

00:01:30.625 --> 00:01:34.000
Okay, the next thing is you
might want to bring a couple of

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.166
blankets or folded up
towels or a pillow to class.

00:01:38.166 --> 00:01:40.542
This is just really helpful
because we spend

00:01:40.542 --> 00:01:41.834
so much time on the ground.

00:01:41.834 --> 00:01:45.208
If the low back, the hips
or the legs are super tight,

00:01:45.208 --> 00:01:48.125
it's really nice to be able to
sit up on something to lift the

00:01:48.125 --> 00:01:51.500
hips so that your knees can drop
and you can create a little

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:53.333
bit of space in the
front of the hips,

00:01:53.333 --> 00:01:55.917
the hip flexors,
to sit up nice and tall.

00:01:55.917 --> 00:01:57.500
So if you have a
little towel or blanky,

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.708
you don't need to have any fancy
yoga blanket or yoga block

00:02:00.708 --> 00:02:02.875
but if you have it you're
welcome to bring it but just

00:02:02.875 --> 00:02:05.625
something that you can
sit up on from time to time.

00:02:06.083 --> 00:02:11.166
Okay, the final little loving
tip is about communication.

00:02:11.166 --> 00:02:13.417
Take a second today,
set an intention,

00:02:13.417 --> 00:02:14.917
write in your journal just say,

00:02:14.917 --> 00:02:18.458
"I choose to take 30 days and

00:02:18.458 --> 00:02:21.667
"dedicate this time
and focused energy 

00:02:21.667 --> 00:02:23.583
"inward toward myself.

00:02:23.583 --> 00:02:25.458
"To get stronger in my body.

00:02:25.458 --> 00:02:30.166
"To get clear in my mind and
to do this so that I can have

00:02:30.166 --> 00:02:34.208
"energy and everything I need
to serve others and show up for

00:02:34.208 --> 00:02:37.208
"others in the world in a
way that feels really good."

00:02:37.208 --> 00:02:38.875
So take a little time,
write it down,

00:02:38.875 --> 00:02:40.291
you can even
write it in your phone.

00:02:40.291 --> 00:02:44.166
Why are you going on this
journey and then the part two of

00:02:44.166 --> 00:02:47.959
this tip of communication is be
sure to communicate with people

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:49.625
that you're living with,
a roommate,

00:02:49.625 --> 00:02:53.291
a partner, your family, let them
know you've dedicated the next

00:02:53.291 --> 00:02:56.250
30 days to spending
time on the mat.

00:02:56.875 --> 00:02:58.917
And they might want to
join you, they might not.

00:02:58.917 --> 00:03:00.417
It's okay either way.

00:03:00.417 --> 00:03:03.667
But do take a second and I think
it's really cool and awesome to

00:03:03.667 --> 00:03:06.750
just say, "Hey,
this is what I'm doing and

00:03:07.834 --> 00:03:10.291
"I'd love for you to
support me on this journey."

00:03:10.708 --> 00:03:14.250
Alright my darling friends,
that's it for now.

00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:16.583
I'll see you tomorrow for Day 1.

00:03:16.583 --> 00:03:19.291
In the meantime,
I love you so much.

00:03:19.291 --> 00:03:22.208
You're my hero for
saying yes to this journey.

00:03:22.208 --> 00:03:24.000
Invite your friends.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.125
It's not too late to invite.

00:03:25.125 --> 00:03:28.291
You can invite a friend today
and they can go on the journey

00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:31.458
live, in real time with
people all across the globe.

00:03:31.458 --> 00:03:35.458
It really is a remarkable
one-of-a-kind experience that

00:03:35.458 --> 00:03:39.750
I'm honored to be a part of so
share it with as many people as

00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:43.708
you can and I'll see
you tomorrow for Day 1.

00:03:44.625 --> 00:03:46.041
Namaste.

00:03:47.041 --> 00:03:50.750
