00:07:16.139 we didn't quite get it the first time or 00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:17.699 just to connect and build strength in 00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:19.379 the abdominal wall we press into the 00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:21.689 tops of the feet and we hover this isn't 00:07:21.689 --> 00:07:23.969 a big lift you guys we keep the gaze 00:07:23.969 --> 00:07:25.289 straight down so you can look at the 00:07:25.289 --> 00:07:26.520 video here and then when you feel like 00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:28.289 you got it take your gaze straight down 00:07:28.289 --> 00:07:29.759 between your index fingers draw the 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.349 shoulders again away from the ears 00:07:31.349 --> 00:07:34.550 shoulder blades down towards the tail 00:07:34.550 --> 00:07:36.809 and we draw the navel up towards the 00:07:36.809 --> 00:07:39.229 spine take one more deep breath in and 00:07:39.229 --> 00:07:42.319 exhale that is enough of that awesome 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.779 curl the left toes under slide away we 00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:48.479 got to do this first right we're going 00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:50.099 to take right toes towards the right 00:07:50.099 --> 00:07:51.479 side of mat and then we'll curl the left 00:07:51.479 --> 00:07:53.939 toes under and slide coming onto the 00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:57.959 outer edge of that foot and again 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.120 drawing energy up through the arch just 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.789 finding that back leg here take your 00:08:01.789 --> 00:08:04.740 left palm give that left inner thigh a 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:06.509 slap common to the fingertips if you 00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:12.509 need to and so for me foundations of 00:08:12.509 --> 00:08:14.909 yoga is about finding that method to the 00:08:14.909 --> 00:08:16.439 madness especially if you're brand new 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.629 to yoga so here we get to take our time 00:08:18.629 --> 00:08:20.249 if you kind of feel like you're doing 00:08:20.249 --> 00:08:22.800 this wonderful you're in the right place 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.479 this is why we have this playlist 00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:26.580 because often in public classes we just 00:08:26.580 --> 00:08:30.569 don't have the time to do this which is 00:08:30.569 --> 00:08:32.519 interesting but okay so we slapping that 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.188 inner thigh we're smearing our honey or 00:08:35.188 --> 00:08:36.299 jelly this time too 00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:38.130 the right ribcage up opening up through 00:08:38.130 --> 00:08:40.708 the heart remembering the neck here 00:08:40.708 --> 00:08:44.760 drawing the shoulders down and away from 00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:48.839 the earlobes and then if we're ready 00:08:48.839 --> 00:08:51.390 we'll slowly trace the line with the 00:08:51.390 --> 00:08:55.230 left fingertips behind the ear and maybe 00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.269 release that right palm down as I find 00:08:57.269 --> 00:09:00.240 my stretch again pelvis might have a 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.820 tendency to tuck out here tuck your tail 00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.910 in and down press into your foundation 00:09:05.910 --> 00:09:07.740 mat which is touching the earth so we're 00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:09.390 not just collapsing into our bones here 00:09:09.390 --> 00:09:11.250 but we're pressing out of the top of 00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:13.680 that back foot pressing into all of the 00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:16.519 knuckles with the right hand 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.320 keeping that inner thigh charged as we 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.519 breathe here nice long beautiful line 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.110 from the outer edge of that left foot 00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:26.430 all the way up through the right 00:09:26.430 --> 00:09:29.209
