WEBVTT

00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.800
what's up everyone welcome to the yoga

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:04.620
with Adriene vlog I'm Adriene that's

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:08.220
Benji and we're here today to tell you

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:19.199
about my trip to Chicago so when we were

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.520
talking about to define what it feels

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.980
good roadshow we knew that we had to go

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:26.210
to Chicago for starters I've never been

00:00:26.210 --> 00:00:28.050
I've heard nothing about great things

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:31.560
and yeah just based on community

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:33.510
engagement and conversation we knew that

00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:35.460
we had to take a trip to Chicago so when

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:38.579
we finally got it all set and booked we

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:41.010
were super excited to go so because of

00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:42.660
where we were at with other jobs and

00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:45.180
things and you know how just life goes

00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:47.550
of busy schedules Chicago had to be a

00:00:47.550 --> 00:00:49.649
quick trip but that doesn't mean it

00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:53.989
wasn't awesome once I got settled in I

00:00:53.989 --> 00:00:56.879
ate some awesome food in fact I want to

00:00:56.879 --> 00:00:59.219
go ahead and say in public that I I

00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:01.079
don't know about all Chicago cooks let's

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:02.550
face it I was only there for a couple

00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:04.500
days but in the short time that I was

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.720
there I found it very vegetarian

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:09.270
friendly I found it very delicious

00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:11.990
and at this point in my travels like I

00:01:11.990 --> 00:01:14.760
was kind of done you know just being

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.740
like yeah I'm Coolio v-a-l-e whatever

00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:18.330
want at this point some reason by the

00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:19.409
time I in Chicago was probably why I

00:01:19.409 --> 00:01:20.880
didn't have pizza I was just feeling

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.090
like I really just needed to eat

00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:26.460
nutritious things and you know keep my

00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:29.400
system happy and you know balanced right

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.200
that's all we're talking about here

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.360
balanced whole living so I had some

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:35.610
awesome food and then a really good

00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:37.079
friend of mine lives in Chicago actually

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.130
a couple of really good friends of mine

00:01:38.130 --> 00:01:40.979
but my friend Alan is an incredible

00:01:40.979 --> 00:01:43.560
performer an inspiration to us all he

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.979
does it all and so I went to go see Alan

00:01:46.979 --> 00:01:49.649
in a comedy show and it was a lot of fun

00:01:49.649 --> 00:01:50.850
at first I was a little worried about

00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:53.130
going to a show we usually try to take

00:01:53.130 --> 00:01:55.530
it really easy before we have to do our

00:01:55.530 --> 00:02:00.240
road show that you know class the next

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:01.530
morning I was going to a workshop it's

00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:02.610
not really

00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:04.450
but since we're only there two nights

00:02:04.450 --> 00:02:06.820
and because Alan is so awesome and he's

00:02:06.820 --> 00:02:08.410
a yogi and I knew he was planning on

00:02:08.410 --> 00:02:11.230
coming to the find what feels good class

00:02:11.230 --> 00:02:13.750
I decided I need to buck up and go visit

00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:16.150
him so he went to a comedy sports show

00:02:16.150 --> 00:02:17.830
thanks for the ticket

00:02:17.830 --> 00:02:22.300
Alan and I was brave enough to sit in

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:24.940
the front row and it was super fun and I

00:02:24.940 --> 00:02:27.780
laughed like a child I stopped my feet I

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:31.239
participated and I mean I just made

00:02:31.239 --> 00:02:33.310
suggestions and and there's a lot of fun

00:02:33.310 --> 00:02:35.709
so thanks Alan thanks comedy sports

00:02:35.709 --> 00:02:38.500
that's comedy sports with a Z the fine

00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:40.090
one feels good road show day in Chicago

00:02:40.090 --> 00:02:42.940
is actually magical in the morning after

00:02:42.940 --> 00:02:47.190
my ritual we even ran into like ywa

00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:49.690
community members like just on the

00:02:49.690 --> 00:02:51.580
sidewalk outside the restaurant we were

00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:54.160
out having a you know fueling up on

00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:56.230
caffeine it was really cool I got to me

00:02:56.230 --> 00:03:00.250
a puppy dog hey puppy dog you know who

00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:00.549
you are

00:03:00.549 --> 00:03:05.290
shout out and and then as I walked up to

00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:08.320
this face I got to meet everyone who had

00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:11.350
shown up for the class beforehand while

00:03:11.350 --> 00:03:12.820
we were waiting to get in and it was so

00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:15.430
fun it felt like I was beating a bunch

00:03:15.430 --> 00:03:18.130
of old old friends I know it seems hokey

00:03:18.130 --> 00:03:20.200
but this the truth there's there's never

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:21.880
anything awkward about meeting complete

00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:23.350
strangers and being connected to them

00:03:23.350 --> 00:03:25.450
and I find that pretty interesting right

00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:28.299
because it should be awkward but I don't

00:03:28.299 --> 00:03:29.650
know there's an agreement there's a

00:03:29.650 --> 00:03:32.500
there's something there that I will

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:34.810
write about one day but I'm still I'm

00:03:34.810 --> 00:03:36.010
still thinking about art pottery and

00:03:36.010 --> 00:03:38.109
it's hard to articulate but from the

00:03:38.109 --> 00:03:41.650
get-go I felt a little bit of magic we

00:03:41.650 --> 00:03:43.690
walked up started getting people checked

00:03:43.690 --> 00:03:45.040
in check out the space

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:47.170
this time we're at an awesome space bend

00:03:47.170 --> 00:03:49.000
yoga thank you so much for having us

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.530
each space is totally different you have

00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:52.090
to understand too that I'm walking into

00:03:52.090 --> 00:03:54.489
this space for the first time so my

00:03:54.489 --> 00:03:57.150
normal things that I rely on you know to

00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:00.579
to make myself comfortable to host to

00:04:00.579 --> 00:04:02.590
you know own own the room and whole

00:04:02.590 --> 00:04:05.650
space for people I don't have so it's

00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:07.600
been a really good experience as a

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:09.340
teacher and as a guide I think and as a

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:12.060
person of course you know

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:13.860
of staying present and being on your

00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:16.769
toes and oddly enough not to be cheesy

00:04:16.769 --> 00:04:18.510
but I actually think a lot of my acting

00:04:18.510 --> 00:04:21.600
training and improv training take tying

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.030
it into Alan's comedy sports night and

00:04:24.030 --> 00:04:25.560
my whole Chicago thing all right the

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.450
whole second city thing I'm gonna hate

00:04:27.450 --> 00:04:29.130
this vlog I can't tell just King I

00:04:29.130 --> 00:04:31.290
really think that that that background

00:04:31.290 --> 00:04:32.669
helps in these moments you know you

00:04:32.669 --> 00:04:34.139
don't panic you take one thing at a time

00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:36.060
you just say yes to everything and you

00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:38.430
know you're super gracious and and you

00:04:38.430 --> 00:04:40.080
respect the space and each other and

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:42.990
ultimately try to dig down and have some

00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:44.250
fun so that's what we did we had an

00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:47.220
awesome class a really diverse group I

00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:49.320
had such a great time meeting everyone

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:52.320
afterwards and yeah it was it was it was

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:53.970
a really great class again these

00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:56.040
desserts serve as little souvenirs to

00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.660
say thank you to everyone who came and

00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:00.540
thank you to everyone who supported us

00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:04.500
and Chicago I love you after class we

00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:08.220
didn't have much time but Alan took us

00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:09.660
to find some food do a little

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:10.919
sightseeing of course I just see the

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:14.460
stadium you know this was a big this was

00:05:14.460 --> 00:05:17.729
right right as some serious ballgames

00:05:17.729 --> 00:05:20.729
were happening as I understand it and so

00:05:20.729 --> 00:05:22.410
that was exciting walked around had some

00:05:22.410 --> 00:05:25.560
more awesome vegetarian food at Chicago

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.030
diner this time a little different than

00:05:27.030 --> 00:05:28.410
the place I was at before totally

00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:29.640
different actually but still very

00:05:29.640 --> 00:05:31.740
vegetarian friendly super awesome and

00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:34.440
then ended it at the violet our son is

00:05:37.710 --> 00:05:40.440
and I was just a nice little cap on our

00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:42.330
short little trip was also chilly so a

00:05:42.330 --> 00:05:43.860
little cocktail felt good and I have no

00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:45.750
footage from that because if you know

00:05:45.750 --> 00:05:47.580
anything about the violent hour you know

00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:49.830
that there are rules and so it is

00:05:49.830 --> 00:05:51.479
against the rules so no footage from the

00:05:51.479 --> 00:05:53.370
violent hour alright that's all for now

00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:55.729
