WEBVTT

00:00:00.458 --> 00:00:02.208
- Hi everyone and
welcome to Dedicate,

00:00:02.208 --> 00:00:03.834
your 30 day yoga journey.

00:00:03.834 --> 00:00:06.458
It's Day 21.

00:00:06.458 --> 00:00:07.708
Can you believe it?

00:00:07.708 --> 00:00:09.792
I say that everyday,
I can't believe it.

00:00:09.792 --> 00:00:10.667
You're doing amazing.

00:00:10.667 --> 00:00:12.750
I'm so excited to be
on this ride with you.

00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:15.500
Today we take
out our flashlights

00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:18.458
and we shine our light.

00:00:18.458 --> 00:00:19.583
Let's get started.

00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:23.208
(bright music)

00:00:43.959 --> 00:00:46.000
Alrighty my friends, welcome.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.917
Today we're
gonna begin standing.

00:00:48.917 --> 00:00:51.166
So come on to your mat.

00:00:51.166 --> 00:00:53.375
Bring your feet
right underneath your hips,

00:00:53.375 --> 00:00:55.500
so feet hip width apart.

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.417
And just stand up nice and tall.

00:00:58.417 --> 00:01:01.208
Take a deep breath in,
lift your chest just slightly.

00:01:02.834 --> 00:01:05.959
And as you exhale,
relax your fingertips.

00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.250
Relax your shoulders.

00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:09.250
Arrive.

00:01:12.083 --> 00:01:15.792
Today's practice
is about incorporating

00:01:15.792 --> 00:01:18.834
the whole package,
the total body. Right?

00:01:19.792 --> 00:01:22.375
But not just as a workout.

00:01:22.375 --> 00:01:26.708
As a means of
exploration and finding, again,

00:01:26.708 --> 00:01:31.375
that essence, that light that
just really feels like you.

00:01:31.375 --> 00:01:33.250
So you're gonna find
it in the yummy stuff

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:37.208
and I'm going to
lovingly challenge you

00:01:37.208 --> 00:01:39.875
to find it in the
difficult things too.

00:01:39.875 --> 00:01:41.333
We'll just see what happens.

00:01:41.333 --> 00:01:42.959
Alright.

00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.333
So with feet hip width apart,
knees slightly bent,

00:01:46.333 --> 00:01:47.625
we've been here before together.

00:01:47.625 --> 00:01:48.875
You didn't think we
were just gonna do it

00:01:48.875 --> 00:01:50.333
once in this whole journey.

00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:53.000
Let's take the
fingertips left to right

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.417
for a little warm up of
Knocking on Heaven's Door.

00:01:56.417 --> 00:01:58.708
And since we've
done this once before

00:01:58.708 --> 00:02:02.208
you can kind of pick up
the pace here to begin with.

00:02:02.208 --> 00:02:06.583
And the main thing to
consider is just that you

00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:10.000
leave any, anything
that's holding you back.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.375
Any judgment,
any of your inhibitions.

00:02:13.375 --> 00:02:14.917
Let it go so we can
shine a little light

00:02:14.917 --> 00:02:17.417
in the dark places,
some of those little

00:02:17.417 --> 00:02:21.250
nooks and crannies
that just don't get any love

00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:23.834
because there's a
roadblock or a hiccup

00:02:23.834 --> 00:02:27.500
or a bad memory or a piece
of shame or whatever it is.

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:29.708
And then the other
thing is to keep your knees

00:02:29.708 --> 00:02:32.166
bent a little bit,
just to protect your joints.

00:02:32.166 --> 00:02:35.458
Okay, and then the last
thing is to have fun.

00:02:36.333 --> 00:02:39.375
So slap your
booty if feels good.

00:02:39.375 --> 00:02:40.917
Do quote me on that, guys.

00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:45.291
Lift the corners of
your mouth if it feels good.

00:02:45.291 --> 00:02:46.959
And if you're
showing up to the mat

00:02:48.458 --> 00:02:50.458
a little tired,
or low on energy,

00:02:50.458 --> 00:02:52.792
just easy in, baby, ease in.

00:02:55.875 --> 00:02:57.250
Alright.

00:02:57.250 --> 00:02:59.959
And then noticing if
you're just isolating,

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:01.792
maybe the arms or the shoulders,

00:03:01.792 --> 00:03:03.750
start to integrate, again,

00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:07.542
a total body awareness.

00:03:07.542 --> 00:03:10.834
By noticing this beautiful
twist in the lower back

00:03:10.834 --> 00:03:12.708
as you swing side to side,

00:03:12.708 --> 00:03:15.375
this gentle twist
in the mid-back.

00:03:16.333 --> 00:03:18.750
And then start to get
the cervical spine into it

00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:20.458
by integrating the neck.

00:03:20.458 --> 00:03:22.750
And then you
feel like proper fool,

00:03:22.750 --> 00:03:24.667
a fool for love and light.

00:03:24.667 --> 00:03:27.458
So we're here for three,
let's go for the gold.

00:03:27.458 --> 00:03:28.333
Two.

00:03:29.333 --> 00:03:31.250
And on the one, capture it.

00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:33.500
Come back to center, feet are
firmly planted on the earth.

00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:35.625
Palms come together, Namaste.

00:03:35.625 --> 00:03:36.959
Take a deep breath in.

00:03:37.917 --> 00:03:39.875
Long breath out.

00:03:39.875 --> 00:03:42.333
Interlace the fingertips,
bring them underneath the chin.

00:03:42.333 --> 00:03:44.542
Keep your feet where they are,
big breath in.

00:03:44.542 --> 00:03:46.208
Open the elbows wide.

00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:49.041
Center stays
strong and connected here,

00:03:49.041 --> 00:03:50.917
as you lengthen tailbone down.

00:03:50.917 --> 00:03:54.625
And then exhale,
rounding through chin to chest.

00:03:54.625 --> 00:03:55.875
Bring it in.

00:03:57.250 --> 00:03:59.083
Inhale, open.

00:03:59.083 --> 00:04:00.166
Go around through the heels.

00:04:00.166 --> 00:04:02.166
Lift the elbows left to right.

00:04:02.166 --> 00:04:04.208
Lift, lift, lift.
You're coming out of the hips.

00:04:04.208 --> 00:04:06.250
Lifting all four
sides of the torso.

00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:09.625
And then exhale, chin to chest,
navel draws in.

00:04:10.667 --> 00:04:13.291
Now once more,
let's it with your breath

00:04:13.291 --> 00:04:15.166
so you can just move
with the sound of your breath,

00:04:15.166 --> 00:04:16.792
finding that ocean sound.

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.417
And then we'll
slowly release the arms.

00:04:28.417 --> 00:04:31.375
Roll it up, and if you're
facing this way on the mat

00:04:31.375 --> 00:04:35.333
like me, go ahead
and turn to the side.

00:04:35.333 --> 00:04:38.792
And if you're already there,
aren't you just one

00:04:38.792 --> 00:04:40.417
step ahead today, okay.

00:04:40.417 --> 00:04:42.333
So from here the
feet are hip width apart.

00:04:42.333 --> 00:04:45.667
Bring the palms
back together, interlace.

00:04:45.667 --> 00:04:48.041
You're gonna
hold on to this grip

00:04:48.041 --> 00:04:49.250
for a little stability.

00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:51.291
Without looking down,
you're gonna step

00:04:51.291 --> 00:04:53.458
or hop the feet as
wide as your yoga mat.

00:04:53.458 --> 00:04:54.291
Ready?

00:04:54.291 --> 00:04:55.792
Three, two, one.

00:04:55.792 --> 00:04:56.834
Try not to look down.

00:04:57.708 --> 00:04:59.083
Alright, what do you know?

00:04:59.083 --> 00:05:00.750
The ground was there.

00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:03.250
Whatever happened, inhale in.

00:05:03.250 --> 00:05:06.125
Exhale, let it go as you bring
the fingertips down gently.

00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:07.792
Beautiful.

00:05:07.792 --> 00:05:09.625
From here, inhale,
reach for the sky.

00:05:09.625 --> 00:05:12.166
Big breath, big stretch,
take up space.

00:05:12.166 --> 00:05:14.291
Exhale, float
the fingertips down.

00:05:15.333 --> 00:05:19.250
Inhale, big breath,
big stretch, take up space.

00:05:19.250 --> 00:05:20.667
Exhale, float it down.

00:05:22.208 --> 00:05:24.625
Inhale, big breath, big stretch.

00:05:24.625 --> 00:05:26.917
Palms come together,
up and overhead.

00:05:26.917 --> 00:05:28.208
From here we're
gonna exaggerate.

00:05:28.208 --> 00:05:29.750
Turn the left toes in.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.208
Turn the right toes out.

00:05:33.333 --> 00:05:35.917
Inhale in again,
reach, reach, reach.

00:05:35.917 --> 00:05:37.291
Exhale, Warrior II.

00:05:37.291 --> 00:05:39.500
Gaze past your right fingertips.

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:41.000
Inhale, straighten the legs.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.959
Lift up from the pelvic floor,
palms kiss together.

00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.917
Exhale, Warrior II.

00:05:46.917 --> 00:05:48.500
Inhale, rise up.

00:05:50.208 --> 00:05:52.166
Exhale, bend your front knee.

00:05:53.625 --> 00:05:55.583
Inhale, reach.

00:05:55.583 --> 00:05:57.125
Strong legs.

00:05:57.125 --> 00:05:59.417
Exhale, Warrior II.

00:05:59.417 --> 00:06:02.500
Now in this repetition,
go on a hunt.

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:04.583
Take your flashlight,
pay attention.

00:06:04.583 --> 00:06:06.083
What's going on with my hips?

00:06:07.542 --> 00:06:09.625
What's going on with
my forehead or my face

00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:12.875
besides that it's beautiful?

00:06:12.875 --> 00:06:13.959
What else is going on?

00:06:15.083 --> 00:06:16.792
What's going on
with my shoulders?

00:06:18.333 --> 00:06:20.500
My energy, my breath?

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:23.041
And the next time you inhale,
bring the palms

00:06:23.041 --> 00:06:24.333
together all the way up.

00:06:24.333 --> 00:06:27.000
Turn the right toes in,
turn the left toes out.

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.875
Inhale in, exhale, Warrior II.

00:06:30.875 --> 00:06:33.041
Keep exploring, inhale, rise up.

00:06:34.125 --> 00:06:36.166
Exhale, Warrior II.
Arms are gonna get tired here.

00:06:36.166 --> 00:06:38.875
Please try to stick with it,
see what happens, inhale.

00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:40.583
Exhale.

00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:42.792
Inhale.

00:06:44.333 --> 00:06:46.166
The next time you
exhale to Warrior II,

00:06:46.166 --> 00:06:48.792
try to really press into the
knife edge of that back foot.

00:06:53.667 --> 00:06:55.333
Toning the upper arms.

00:06:55.333 --> 00:06:56.875
Toning the upper arms.

00:07:00.333 --> 00:07:02.166
You're doing great,
stick with it.

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.583
The next time you reach
for the sky, palms face up.

00:07:07.583 --> 00:07:10.708
You'll turn the left toes in
so now both toes are turned in.

00:07:10.708 --> 00:07:13.375
Inhale in, exhale,
hands to heart.

00:07:13.375 --> 00:07:15.250
Oh, yes.

00:07:15.250 --> 00:07:17.125
And release the fingertips.

00:07:17.125 --> 00:07:18.792
Draw them underneath the chin.

00:07:18.792 --> 00:07:21.208
Inhale, lift the
elbows left to right.

00:07:21.208 --> 00:07:25.000
Long puppy belly here,
scratching the belly.

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.750
And then exhale, bow,
chin to chest.

00:07:27.750 --> 00:07:28.667
Should feel good.

00:07:30.375 --> 00:07:33.125
Beautiful, feel that awesome
stretch in the back of the neck.

00:07:33.125 --> 00:07:36.542
If you like, breath lots of
love in here, lots of love out.

00:07:36.542 --> 00:07:38.375
If you like,
say a little prayer.

00:07:38.375 --> 00:07:41.041
Something positive,
set a little intention.

00:07:41.041 --> 00:07:43.667
Something that will serve
you in the present moment.

00:07:49.542 --> 00:07:51.792
Sweet, and then
release the arms.

00:07:51.792 --> 00:07:53.333
I'm gonna take a
step back on my mat.

00:07:53.333 --> 00:07:56.291
You might want to as well,
depending on your space.

00:07:57.917 --> 00:08:00.250
Nice wide legs,
inner thighs engaged

00:08:00.250 --> 00:08:02.583
drawing energy up from
the arches of the feet.

00:08:02.583 --> 00:08:04.834
Inhale, loop the
shoulder forward, up and back.

00:08:04.834 --> 00:08:07.458
Just relax any
stress or tension.

00:08:07.458 --> 00:08:10.500
Then we'll inhale in,
exhale nice and slow.

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.333
Soft bend in the knees.

00:08:11.333 --> 00:08:12.792
You're gonna take
your heart forward.

00:08:12.792 --> 00:08:14.041
Arms can be soft and easy here.

00:08:14.041 --> 00:08:17.625
We're gonna slowly walk
the fingertips to the earth,

00:08:17.625 --> 00:08:20.417
and then maybe
begin to walk them out.

00:08:20.417 --> 00:08:22.291
If that's not available to you,

00:08:22.291 --> 00:08:25.125
you'll take your
blanket or your block

00:08:25.125 --> 00:08:27.417
or your books or
your couch cushion.

00:08:27.417 --> 00:08:29.166
Something to lift
the earth up to you

00:08:29.166 --> 00:08:30.417
and you can work here.

00:08:32.041 --> 00:08:35.375
So obviously, a generous opening
in the backs of the legs.

00:08:35.375 --> 00:08:38.792
Reminder that the toes
are turned in slightly.

00:08:38.792 --> 00:08:41.875
And in time you might
find the palms can come

00:08:41.875 --> 00:08:43.792
to the earth and
we create a little

00:08:43.792 --> 00:08:46.208
standing wide
legged Forward Fold

00:08:46.208 --> 00:08:48.542
with the arms
outstretched in front.

00:08:50.417 --> 00:08:53.083
So find a version
that suits you here.

00:08:54.291 --> 00:08:55.834
Take a deep breath in.

00:08:56.875 --> 00:08:59.291
Lean in, exhale, breath out.

00:09:01.417 --> 00:09:02.458
Awesome.

00:09:02.458 --> 00:09:05.708
Root to rise,
ground through slowly.

00:09:05.708 --> 00:09:08.291
Roll it up, staying
connected to your center,

00:09:08.291 --> 00:09:11.708
not dumping a weight in
that low back, be mindful.

00:09:11.708 --> 00:09:14.500
Inhale, as you stand up,
loop the shoulders forward,

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:19.125
up and back, and as you
exhale let go of any stress,

00:09:19.125 --> 00:09:22.708
any tension, any cobwebs
that might have collected.

00:09:22.708 --> 00:09:26.417
We're here to
lovingly clear them out.

00:09:27.333 --> 00:09:29.083
And it's not
gonna happen in one day.

00:09:29.083 --> 00:09:32.875
Right, that's why
this journey is so insane.

00:09:32.875 --> 00:09:33.708
It's just so incredible.

00:09:33.708 --> 00:09:37.291
Such a wonderful
way to reboot, reconnect,

00:09:37.291 --> 00:09:39.125
revisit what feels like you.

00:09:41.125 --> 00:09:42.000
Alright, let's go again.

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.959
Inhale, loop the
shoulders forward, up and back.

00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:46.417
Exhale, relax.

00:09:47.667 --> 00:09:50.166
So we want our
energetic state to be calm

00:09:50.166 --> 00:09:52.375
as we go into this exploration.

00:09:52.375 --> 00:09:55.083
Soft bend in the knees,
take it forward.

00:09:56.166 --> 00:09:58.583
The struggle is real so
if you're struggling here,

00:09:58.583 --> 00:10:01.542
breathe, lean in and
see how you can adapt.

00:10:01.542 --> 00:10:05.875
Don't worry about
copying me or comparing

00:10:06.750 --> 00:10:08.500
or trying to keep up.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.750
Instead, focus on your light.

00:10:11.750 --> 00:10:16.333
What feels good, how you can
create support for your body

00:10:17.583 --> 00:10:18.959
and deepen your breath.

00:10:23.834 --> 00:10:27.542
So therapeutic,
but you gotta bring the breath.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.917
And then this time,
ground through all four

00:10:36.917 --> 00:10:38.083
corners of the feet.

00:10:38.083 --> 00:10:40.458
Strong legs, strong center.

00:10:40.458 --> 00:10:42.792
You're gonna slowly
bring the left fingertips

00:10:42.792 --> 00:10:44.500
to the earth and we're
gonna take our open twist

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:46.708
for today's
practice here by inhaling,

00:10:46.708 --> 00:10:48.959
reaching right
fingertips to the sky.

00:10:48.959 --> 00:10:50.750
Breathing into the belly,
drawing the shoulders

00:10:50.750 --> 00:10:52.458
away from the ears.

00:10:52.458 --> 00:10:54.125
And then wiggle
the right fingertips.

00:10:54.125 --> 00:10:56.250
Inhale, exhale, sweep through.

00:10:56.250 --> 00:10:58.041
Right hand replaces the left,

00:10:58.041 --> 00:10:59.333
and we take it
to the other side.

00:10:59.333 --> 00:11:01.041
Big open twist to your left.

00:11:01.041 --> 00:11:02.667
Breath deep.

00:11:02.667 --> 00:11:04.458
Draw the shoulders
away from the ears.

00:11:04.458 --> 00:11:06.083
Neck is nice and long.

00:11:06.083 --> 00:11:09.208
Wiggle the left fingertips,
take a deep breath in.

00:11:09.208 --> 00:11:12.250
Yes, and then exhale to release.

00:11:12.250 --> 00:11:13.667
Great, tuck the chin.

00:11:13.667 --> 00:11:15.083
Soft bend in the knees.

00:11:15.083 --> 00:11:18.667
Slowly roll back up,
connecting to your core

00:11:18.667 --> 00:11:20.792
all the way long.

00:11:20.792 --> 00:11:23.166
Inhale, reach for the sky.

00:11:23.166 --> 00:11:25.500
Kiss or clap the palms together.

00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:27.625
And then bring your
hands back to your heart.

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:29.959
Awesome.

00:11:29.959 --> 00:11:32.333
Interlace the fingertips,
bring them underneath the chin.

00:11:32.333 --> 00:11:33.542
Inhale, lift the
elbows left to right.

00:11:33.542 --> 00:11:34.708
Take a deep breath.

00:11:36.375 --> 00:11:38.250
Exhale, chin to chest.

00:11:39.834 --> 00:11:41.667
Alright, here we go. Inhale in.

00:11:42.583 --> 00:11:44.583
Exhale, release the fingers.

00:11:44.583 --> 00:11:46.625
Relax the shoulders
down your back body.

00:11:46.625 --> 00:11:49.583
So keep this action of
wrapping the shoulders around,

00:11:49.583 --> 00:11:52.667
feeling your shoulder blades,
your scaps,

00:11:52.667 --> 00:11:54.625
melting down your back body.

00:11:54.625 --> 00:11:58.542
Keep that, as once
again we slowly come forward.

00:11:59.708 --> 00:12:04.417
Preparing for a little journey.

00:12:04.417 --> 00:12:06.875
Okay, fingertips
come to the earth to start.

00:12:06.875 --> 00:12:10.333
Inhale in. I'm gonna
turn the left toes out.

00:12:10.333 --> 00:12:12.750
Exhale, I'm gonna bend
my left knee generously,

00:12:12.750 --> 00:12:15.750
bring my center
right underneath me.

00:12:15.750 --> 00:12:17.417
Right toes to the sky.

00:12:17.417 --> 00:12:19.959
I sit back, way back,
fingertips reach forward.

00:12:19.959 --> 00:12:22.250
Just check it out,
it's Skandasana.

00:12:22.250 --> 00:12:25.375
Alright, now if you
can't get your center down

00:12:25.375 --> 00:12:28.750
or underneath you, an option
is to stay a little bit high

00:12:28.750 --> 00:12:31.208
and do like a One-Legged Froggy.

00:12:31.208 --> 00:12:33.708
So this heel,
left heel is lifted.

00:12:33.708 --> 00:12:34.834
Right toes are still up.

00:12:34.834 --> 00:12:37.917
You can find that
space between the toes here

00:12:37.917 --> 00:12:39.959
working, breathing, breathing.

00:12:40.959 --> 00:12:42.291
Or we're here.

00:12:42.291 --> 00:12:45.166
And then everyone,
use your breath to guide you.

00:12:45.166 --> 00:12:48.333
We're creating a
100% full body experience.

00:12:48.333 --> 00:12:50.667
So integrate
everything as you inhale in.

00:12:50.667 --> 00:12:52.667
Exhale, you're gonna
connect to your core.

00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:56.375
Lift, and I just
realized that in my explanation

00:12:56.375 --> 00:12:57.166
I had come onto my bum.

00:12:57.166 --> 00:13:00.041
So you're gonna lift
your bum if it's not lifted.

00:13:00.041 --> 00:13:02.583
And we're gonna
slowly come through.

00:13:02.583 --> 00:13:04.125
Come through a nice squatting.

00:13:04.125 --> 00:13:05.417
You're gonna go
right to the other side

00:13:05.417 --> 00:13:07.208
by turning your right toes out.

00:13:07.208 --> 00:13:09.208
Lifting your left
toes toward the sky.

00:13:09.208 --> 00:13:11.083
And then just seeing
what it's like on this side.

00:13:11.083 --> 00:13:12.875
Fingertips reaching forward.

00:13:12.875 --> 00:13:14.834
Maybe you come to
a One-Legged Froggy,

00:13:14.834 --> 00:13:17.375
lift it up a little bit high.

00:13:17.375 --> 00:13:18.667
We're breathing deep.

00:13:20.750 --> 00:13:21.750
Beautiful, here we go again.

00:13:21.750 --> 00:13:23.375
Lifting up from
the pelvic floor.

00:13:23.375 --> 00:13:24.583
You can use your hands here.

00:13:24.583 --> 00:13:27.125
If you don't need them,
then you can light a fire

00:13:27.125 --> 00:13:29.750
in your core by bringing your
palms together at the heart.

00:13:29.750 --> 00:13:32.875
If you are able to do,
we'll try that steeple grip.

00:13:32.875 --> 00:13:34.834
Reaching forward here,
lifting the chest.

00:13:34.834 --> 00:13:37.166
Otherwise,
keep nice and low, guys.

00:13:37.166 --> 00:13:39.250
Honor where
you are today, right?

00:13:39.250 --> 00:13:41.291
Breathing deep, inhale.

00:13:41.291 --> 00:13:43.041
Notice how
you're reacting to this.

00:13:43.041 --> 00:13:45.500
And let's pay attention as
we come all the way through

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:47.708
and take it to the right.

00:13:47.708 --> 00:13:50.542
Our last side here,
breathing deep, Skandasana.

00:13:51.667 --> 00:13:53.000
So this is not to torture you.

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.417
Just leading
you to meet an edge.

00:13:55.417 --> 00:13:57.125
Breath deep,
you're doing awesome.

00:13:57.125 --> 00:13:59.166
Take one more
breath wherever you are.

00:13:59.166 --> 00:14:02.417
And then exhale,
slowly come back to center.

00:14:02.417 --> 00:14:05.542
We'll come back to that standing
wide legged Forward Fold.

00:14:05.542 --> 00:14:08.041
Hands will come to the earth,
or fingertips to the earth.

00:14:08.041 --> 00:14:10.333
And if you like,
can take the hands.

00:14:10.333 --> 00:14:13.166
Drag them in line with
the arches of the feet.

00:14:13.166 --> 00:14:15.333
Bring the crown of
the head to the earth.

00:14:15.333 --> 00:14:17.750
In time, you can take
it up into an inversion.

00:14:17.750 --> 00:14:20.041
But only when
it's right in your body

00:14:20.041 --> 00:14:21.959
and you have the
proper foundation.

00:14:21.959 --> 00:14:24.667
There is a great video.

00:14:24.667 --> 00:14:27.250
Yoga with Adriene
video for a headstand.

00:14:28.583 --> 00:14:30.208
But be mindful.

00:14:33.458 --> 00:14:36.291
Wherever you are,
trust that that's exactly

00:14:36.291 --> 00:14:38.625
where you're supposed
to be and I mean that.

00:14:39.625 --> 00:14:40.875
Take a deep breath in.

00:14:41.792 --> 00:14:43.000
And a long breath out.

00:14:43.708 --> 00:14:46.000
And we'll walk the hands out.

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.250
Slowly begin to come back up.

00:14:48.250 --> 00:14:50.375
And you're just
going to walk the feet

00:14:50.375 --> 00:14:52.750
right underneath your
hips and bend your knees

00:14:52.750 --> 00:14:57.583
so that we all come down into
a little Malasana variation.

00:14:57.583 --> 00:14:59.375
A little yogaic squat.

00:15:01.125 --> 00:15:03.417
And if the soles of the
feet don't come to the earth,

00:15:03.417 --> 00:15:05.959
again, enjoy
that Froggy Posture.

00:15:05.959 --> 00:15:09.250
Keeping the heels lifted,
staying a little bit higher up.

00:15:12.125 --> 00:15:14.166
And pay attention to
your heart space here.

00:15:14.166 --> 00:15:17.291
Find your breath
again by softening your gaze

00:15:17.291 --> 00:15:19.208
or closing your eyes.

00:15:19.208 --> 00:15:21.500
Take a deep breath in.

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:23.875
Relax your shoulders
down as you breath out.

00:15:25.041 --> 00:15:27.458
Then swim the fingertips around.

00:15:27.458 --> 00:15:28.959
Come to a seat.

00:15:30.583 --> 00:15:32.875
We'll send the
fingertips behind us.

00:15:32.875 --> 00:15:34.250
Soles of the
feet come on the mat

00:15:34.250 --> 00:15:36.417
and we're gonna walk
them as wide as the mat.

00:15:36.417 --> 00:15:37.500
Then this should feel awesome.

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:40.333
Let's find some
internal rotation after all that

00:15:40.333 --> 00:15:42.583
external rotation,
so move nice and slow.

00:15:42.583 --> 00:15:44.708
Send your knees
over towards the left.

00:15:46.417 --> 00:15:49.417
Oh yeah, take a deep breath in,
lift your heart.

00:15:51.417 --> 00:15:53.667
For a little more,
you can cross the left ankle

00:15:53.667 --> 00:15:57.166
over the right and
maybe come on to your elbows.

00:15:57.166 --> 00:16:01.333
But again, listen to your body.

00:16:01.333 --> 00:16:02.708
Pay attention.

00:16:08.625 --> 00:16:11.083
Keep the feet bright,
let's transition.

00:16:11.083 --> 00:16:12.417
Slowly coming through center.

00:16:12.417 --> 00:16:15.583
Taking the knees, now windshield
wipering them to the right.

00:16:16.875 --> 00:16:20.291
And this is perhaps enough,
but if you just gotta have more,

00:16:20.291 --> 00:16:23.000
you wanna shine a little
light in the dark places,

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.333
take your right ankle,
cross it over the top

00:16:25.333 --> 00:16:26.667
of the left thigh.

00:16:26.667 --> 00:16:28.625
And maybe we'll come
down onto the forearms.

00:16:28.625 --> 00:16:31.583
Breathe, keep the feet awake.

00:16:34.333 --> 00:16:35.291
Lift your heart.

00:16:39.458 --> 00:16:40.917
Alrighty.

00:16:40.917 --> 00:16:42.708
Stay nice and active in the toes

00:16:42.708 --> 00:16:44.917
as you slowly
bring it back to center.

00:16:44.917 --> 00:16:47.917
You're gonna walk the heels
just in line with your hips.

00:16:47.917 --> 00:16:50.083
You're gonna sit up
nice and tall like this.

00:16:50.083 --> 00:16:54.417
Feel that connection of your
root chakra to the earth.

00:16:54.417 --> 00:16:57.959
Rise up through the spine,
creating a nice

00:16:57.959 --> 00:17:02.959
beautiful highway for
your energy to cruise on.

00:17:04.125 --> 00:17:07.166
And then now it's
time for one of my

00:17:07.166 --> 00:17:10.208
all time favorite
advanced yoga postures.

00:17:10.208 --> 00:17:14.250
This is a perfect,
beautiful asana for connecting

00:17:14.250 --> 00:17:17.000
to your own inner unique light.

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.375
And it looks like this.
Sit up nice and tall.

00:17:19.375 --> 00:17:21.000
Allow your hands to
rest gently on your knees.

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.834
Take a deep breath in.

00:17:22.834 --> 00:17:24.000
And exhale, bow.

00:17:27.291 --> 00:17:29.917
Not playing, dudes.
This is awesome.

00:17:33.041 --> 00:17:35.875
Peek at me if you need
to and then create your own.

00:17:35.875 --> 00:17:36.875
Surrender.

00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:41.917
Benji is doing
his version of this.

00:17:41.917 --> 00:17:43.125
I'm doing my version of this,

00:17:43.125 --> 00:17:44.250
and you're going to
do your version of this.

00:17:45.625 --> 00:17:49.083
And we're going to
soften the skin of the face.

00:17:50.834 --> 00:17:52.959
Breathe like you love yourself.

00:17:58.625 --> 00:18:00.000
Just get quiet.

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:09.375
When we show up
regularly to participate

00:18:12.375 --> 00:18:14.542
with our body and our breath,

00:18:17.875 --> 00:18:18.667
we

00:18:20.208 --> 00:18:23.625
ultimately are
creating beautiful dance

00:18:24.917 --> 00:18:29.500
between all parts of ourself
where we can find balance

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.875
and find truth.

00:18:31.959 --> 00:18:33.792
And just this sense

00:18:37.375 --> 00:18:40.166
that we are
being ourselves, authentic.

00:18:41.625 --> 00:18:44.792
And when I'm in
that energetic state,

00:18:45.792 --> 00:18:47.542
I feel like I
can conquer anything.

00:18:47.542 --> 00:18:50.667
I can change the world,
be the change.

00:18:52.291 --> 00:18:54.500
So we can't
always be in this light.

00:18:56.125 --> 00:19:00.291
But knowing that it exists
and knowing how to nurture it,

00:19:01.291 --> 00:19:03.166
is certainly a way to move.

00:19:06.208 --> 00:19:09.166
Okay, big stretch in
the back of the neck here.

00:19:09.166 --> 00:19:10.417
If none of that
resonates for you,

00:19:10.417 --> 00:19:11.750
at least you're
getting an awesome stretch

00:19:11.750 --> 00:19:12.750
in the back of the neck.

00:19:13.708 --> 00:19:15.500
Tuck the chin, open your eyes.

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:17.291
Roll it up.

00:19:17.291 --> 00:19:20.542
A whole new world!

00:19:20.542 --> 00:19:25.333
A new fantastic
point of view!

00:19:25.333 --> 00:19:27.667
Come to a nice
comfortable seat of your choice.

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.834
Perspective, I thought about
calling this perspective.

00:19:34.750 --> 00:19:35.834
But I think light.

00:19:39.417 --> 00:19:41.750
And we honor the darkness too.

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.667
Knowing that this
light moving in a way that

00:19:45.667 --> 00:19:49.375
feels good exists, is again,

00:19:49.375 --> 00:19:51.792
certainly a helpful
tool for the dark days.

00:19:51.792 --> 00:19:52.667
Am I right?

00:19:52.667 --> 00:19:54.750
Love you guys,
bring the palms together.

00:19:54.750 --> 00:19:55.959
I wish you well.

00:19:58.333 --> 00:20:00.542
Amazing, amazing work.

00:20:00.542 --> 00:20:02.917
It's all I can say.
Thanks for showing up.

00:20:02.917 --> 00:20:04.125
I'll see you tomorrow.

00:20:04.125 --> 00:20:05.208
Namaste.

00:20:07.166 --> 00:20:11.583
