00:17:46.610 --> 00:17:50.610 Thread the needle here, opening up the hip. 00:17:50.610 --> 00:17:52.970 Massaging the low back with a little rock 00:17:52.970 --> 00:17:54.623 gently side to side. 00:18:01.490 --> 00:18:03.220 And then cross the right foot. 00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:05.880 Just continue that journey 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:08.650 of crossing the right leg over the left, 00:18:08.650 --> 00:18:10.890 maybe bumping the hips to the right side of your mat, 00:18:10.890 --> 00:18:13.350 and then allowing the weight of your legs 00:18:13.350 --> 00:18:15.620 to spill to the left edge of your mat. 00:18:15.620 --> 00:18:17.440 Turn onto your right ear. 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.130 Maybe open the arms out into a Texas T, 00:18:21.130 --> 00:18:24.393 or bending at the elbow for cactus arms and breathe. 00:18:32.077 --> 00:18:35.820 And then unravel, come back to center, nice and easy. 00:18:35.820 --> 00:18:38.860 Take a deep breath in and we'll take it to the other side. 00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:40.880 Just crossing the left ankle 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.480 over the top of the right thigh, 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.944 finding soft, easy movement here. 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:55.310 And then releasing the right foot down, 00:18:55.310 --> 00:18:57.370 crossing the left leg over the right. 00:18:57.370 --> 00:18:59.800 Bump the hips to the left. 00:18:59.800 --> 00:19:01.240 Allow the weight of your legs 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:04.400 to draw down to the right side of your mat. 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.430 And we keep the left shoulder down here 00:19:06.430 --> 00:19:08.427 as we maybe turn onto the left here 00:19:08.427 --> 00:19:12.963 and breathe for a moment or two in the twist. 00:19:20.851 --> 00:19:24.900 And then slowly unravel, make your way back. 00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:26.220 Knees up, feet down. 00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:29.180 Last thing here, Bridge Pose. 00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:31.440 So we're gonna inhale, peel the tailbone up. 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.880 Toes pointing forward. 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.453 Lift the hip points high up towards the sky. 00:19:37.390 --> 00:19:40.590 Snuggle the shoulder blades underneath your heart space. 00:19:40.590 --> 00:19:43.620 Palms can stay down on the mat here. 00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:46.850 Shins forward, lift your chest to your chin. 00:19:46.850 --> 00:19:49.230 Chin to the sky, breathe into your belly. 00:19:49.230 --> 00:19:51.703 Feel that stretch on the inhale. 00:19:52.834 --> 00:19:54.918 And the softening as you exhale. 00:19:57.050 --> 00:19:59.432 And then slowly release it down. 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.150 Good, you can tick-tock the knees to one side 00:20:03.150 --> 00:20:04.430 and then the other. 00:20:04.430 --> 00:20:06.873 Eventually extending the legs out long. 00:20:08.550 --> 00:20:10.760 Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in. 00:20:10.760 --> 00:20:14.083 As you exhale, let everything go. 00:20:17.430 --> 00:20:20.393 Taking a moment to pause and surrender. 00:20:29.730 --> 00:20:34.103 Taking a moment to just thank yourself for showing up. 00:20:40.300 --> 00:20:42.080 That's the most beautiful part. 00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:44.900 No matter what happened, you did it. 00:20:44.900 --> 00:20:48.610 You showed up, and I love you for that. 00:20:48.610 --> 00:20:50.350 Bring the palms together. 00:20:50.350 --> 00:20:52.048 Thumbs up to the third eye. 00:20:53.590 --> 00:20:56.250 We'll close with a final breath here together. 00:20:56.250 --> 00:21:00.323 So I invite you to inhale one last time with me. 00:21:03.139 --> 00:21:04.876 And exhale. 00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:10.119 Nice work, my friends. Take good care. 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:11.559 Namaste. 00:21:13.092 --> 00:21:17.385 (upbeat music)
