00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.360
- Hello everyone,
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.360 --> 00:00:06.360
I'm Adriene and
this is sweet Benji.

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.040
And today we have a
love wins practice for you.

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:12.710
This is for those days 
when you're feeling down

00:00:12.710 --> 00:00:16.200
or feeling kind of drab or 
maybe you're in struggle city,

00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:20.190
but deep down inside you
know that you are fabulous.

00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:21.840
You know that you are love and

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:25.400
you just need to move and
breathe it out with a friend.

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.283
So hop into something
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:30.089 --> 00:00:33.520
(upbeat music)

00:00:42.646 --> 00:00:46.665
Alrighty, let's begin in a seat.

00:00:46.665 --> 00:00:50.560
So come on down to the ground,
take your time getting there.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.360
You can sit up on a 
little somethin', somethin'

00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:55.440
if you're feeling it,
(chuckles)

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:57.717
if you have a blanket with you.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.600
And let's drop in together.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.120
Just sit up nice and tall,

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:06.720
whatever you're
coming to this practice with.

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:09.720
Bring it, it's welcome.

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:13.400
I love you.

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.563
That's really what
this practice is all about.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.495
Reconnecting, tapping back into

00:01:22.681 --> 00:01:27.403
our powerful source of love.

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:33.400
If you feel comfortable,
you can close your eyes.

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.520
If that feels uncomfortable
or unsafe for whatever reason

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:41.000
I like to just 
take my focus down

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.520
gently past my nose,

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.810
just kind of soften
my peripheral vision.

00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:51.080
So choose what's right for
you today and we just want to

00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:55.440
begin to guide
our attention inward.

00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:58.200
And so shutting down the
eyelids a little bit helps.

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.360
See if you can sit up a
little bit taller here.

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:07.515
And as you're ready,
take a deep breath in.

00:02:10.600 --> 00:02:15.296
And just slow exhale to release.

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:22.582
Again, big breath
in through the nose.

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.760
And exhale out
through the nose or mouth.

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:32.346
Listen to your body here.

00:02:34.250 --> 00:02:36.654
Inhale in deeply.

00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:43.230
And exhale completely.

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:50.892
Now drop your chin to your chest
and continue to breathe in.

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.633
And out slowly,
mindfully with awareness.

00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:02.453
And we'll start to 
add the layer of

00:03:02.453 --> 00:03:05.320
checking in with 
the neck and shoulders.

00:03:05.320 --> 00:03:07.760
So keep breathing and start to

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:10.050
move the neck
slowly round and round.

00:03:10.050 --> 00:03:14.053
I like to think of
drawing a circle with my nose.

00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.916
Nice and slow.

00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.320
And then take it in
the other direction.

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:34.011
Again, maybe drawing
a circle with your nose.

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.013
It just kind of 
keeps it integrated

00:03:40.313 --> 00:03:42.470
for me instead of kind of just

00:03:42.470 --> 00:03:44.460
rolling my head around.

00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:45.640
Potentially hurting my neck,

00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:49.813
(chuckles) I like to
use the nose as a guide.

00:03:52.113 --> 00:03:53.910
It's kind of a
good lesson in life.

00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.240
(chuckles) Just kidding.

00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.890
Okay, bring the
head back to center.

00:03:57.890 --> 00:03:59.400
Think about aligning your head

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.160
over your heart and
your heart over your pelvis,

00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:03.260
your center.

00:04:04.117 --> 00:04:05.440
Take a deep breath in here.

00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:06.920
And as you exhale,

00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:10.320
draw the shoulders down,
way down away from the ears.

00:04:11.336 --> 00:04:12.920
Capture just a moment of

00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:15.120
stillness to notice
how you're feeling.

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.464
Just feel
yourself in this moment.

00:04:18.464 --> 00:04:23.740
Again, whatever you're coming
to the mat to today is great.

00:04:25.061 --> 00:04:26.701
It's welcome.

00:04:29.862 --> 00:04:30.280
And you know,

00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:32.720
I just want to remind
all of us in these moments,

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.640
we can be honest about how

00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:36.240
we're feeling and
where we're struggling.

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.280
But you can also be honest
about where you're feeling good.

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:40.680
And if you're coming to the mat

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.885
feeling fabulous or
things like that can also be

00:04:43.885 --> 00:04:48.800
celebrated in these
types of practices,

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.480
in my opinion,

00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.320
every time we
show up for practice.

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:56.320
It doesn't always have to
be when we are in sorrow.

00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:59.860
Remembering to honor and love

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:03.960
and celebrate our wins

00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:07.520
and our uniqueness.

00:05:09.270 --> 00:05:10.360
Cool.

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.560
Bat the eyelashes open.

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.361
Let's take it
forward onto all fours.

00:05:14.361 --> 00:05:15.510
Move slow.

00:05:15.510 --> 00:05:19.000
Move like you love yourself
is what I always like to say.

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.640
So we kind of
jerk ourselves around,

00:05:21.640 --> 00:05:23.040
you know, just think 
about even getting

00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.600
in and out of the car or
in and out of the subway.

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.040
We're kind of
always moving and grooving.

00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:28.920
On the mat,

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.600
you can practice
moving in different ways,

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.400
ways that feel good and

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:36.960
remembering that
how we move matters.

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:39.620
So as you come into all fours,
we're gonna do a little

00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:42.920
creative version of
spinal flexion today.

00:05:44.619 --> 00:05:47.560
Many of us know the
structure of Cat-Cow.

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.110
So you can use that
as a starting point,

00:05:50.110 --> 00:05:54.600
but then start to just move the
body in a way that feels good.

00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.240
Hi, Benji.
Bye, Benji.

00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.480
If the feet are tight,
for example,

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.960
you can lean
back hips to heels.

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:05.480
If the shoulders are tight,

00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.080
you can start to bump
the hips left to right,

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:10.140
moving the shoulders.

00:06:10.140 --> 00:06:14.240
Maybe some circles with the rib
cage would feel awesome today.

00:06:20.275 --> 00:06:23.290
And then as you're 
moving through this

00:06:23.290 --> 00:06:26.000
creative spinal flexion,

00:06:27.196 --> 00:06:29.520
see if you can
synchronize with your breath.

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:33.120
Think about your breath
being not just this thing that's

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.560
gonna calm you down
and make you

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:40.310
do yoga better.

00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:42.280
But for today,
just for fun,

00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:47.740
think of the breath
as your heart's song.

00:06:49.192 --> 00:06:51.282
And if you're like,
"Okay, Adriene, I get it."

00:06:51.282 --> 00:06:52.780
That's fine.

00:06:52.780 --> 00:06:56.040
But just listen to
the sound of your breath.

00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.801
See if you can
make an audible sound.

00:06:59.760 --> 00:07:02.360
Think of this as your spirit

00:07:03.123 --> 00:07:05.480
or your essence that
you're connecting to.

00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.120
And so when we think about
marrying that to the movement,

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.470
things get more interesting,
at least for me.

00:07:12.470 --> 00:07:15.960
They get a little juicier.

00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:20.140
Alright, peel the hips up and
keep this little dance going,

00:07:20.140 --> 00:07:23.220
this exploration,

00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:27.240
this little experiment
as you breathe and move.

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.120
Take it up to
Downward Facing Dog.

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.280
Just keep it going.

00:07:30.280 --> 00:07:35.720
Pedal out the knees,
stretch through the legs.

00:07:38.604 --> 00:07:40.200
Relax your neck.

00:07:41.506 --> 00:07:44.200
And press into your knuckles.

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:48.800
Lovely.

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.630
Now slowly lower
back to the knees,

00:07:51.630 --> 00:07:54.560
bring the toes together,
knees wide,

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.360
and send the hips back
for Extended Child's Pose.

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.906
Melt your heart down,
forehead towards the mat.

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.800
Inhale, lots of love in.

00:08:06.752 --> 00:08:09.380
Exhale, lots of love out.

00:08:11.590 --> 00:08:12.560
Beautiful.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.160
Press into the tops of the feet.

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.640
Move from center, so gather
your abs up towards the spine

00:08:17.640 --> 00:08:19.810
and from there,
move all the way forward.

00:08:19.810 --> 00:08:22.440
You're gonna
interlace the fingertips,

00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:24.720
walk the knees
underneath the hips,

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.880
and we're coming
into a forearm Plank.

00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:28.100
What?

00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:30.160
So press into your elbows,

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.910
reach through the heels,

00:08:31.910 --> 00:08:33.160
gather up those abs,

00:08:33.160 --> 00:08:35.720
and lengthen the
crown of the head forward.

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.540
Breathe in here.

00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:40.010
Breathe out here.

00:08:40.010 --> 00:08:42.430
Breathe in here.

00:08:42.430 --> 00:08:44.540
Breathe out here.
If you took a break, no worries.

00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:46.520
Come back for this
last cycle of breath.

00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:48.760
Let's do it together.
We're stronger than we think.

00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:50.130
Inhale in.

00:08:51.454 --> 00:08:54.040
And exhale out.

00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:56.080
Lovely. Lower the knees here.

00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.360
Puppy's Pose.

00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.920
Press into the palms,
so release the grip.

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.000
Press into the palms.

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.700
Walk the knees back.

00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:08.430
Tailbone up towards the sky,
and we melt the heart deeply.

00:09:08.430 --> 00:09:11.040
Big shoulder opener here,
big heart opener.

00:09:12.927 --> 00:09:14.920
Stretching the front body.

00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:18.120
It's like a long puppy belly
here is what you can imagine.

00:09:21.430 --> 00:09:24.532
And then take a deep breath in.

00:09:24.532 --> 00:09:29.440
Use your exhale to slowly
slide through onto your belly.

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.200
Hips press into the earth,
and we come into Sphinx Pose.

00:09:39.628 --> 00:09:40.798
Breathe.

00:09:42.285 --> 00:09:46.240
So there's like a sophistication
to this posture that I love.

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.160
You press into the hips,
press into the tops of the feet.

00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:52.680
You anchor your shoulder blades
together and down the back body,

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:53.760
and then find the length.

00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:56.520
Essentially,
this is spinal extension.

00:09:56.520 --> 00:10:01.960
So you want to find the
length in the cervical spine.

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.855
So lengthen through
the crown of the head.

00:10:04.855 --> 00:10:06.394
And then you can
bring a little attitude,

00:10:06.394 --> 00:10:07.240
a little love,

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.160
a little sass to this
gesture and do it slow.

00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:12.880
So dig into your elbows.

00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:14.520
Inhale in, look forward.

00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:19.720
Exhale, slow turn to look
past your right shoulder.

00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.360
Feel that deep
stretch from your left temple,

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.980
left jaw all the way
down to your left elbow,

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:29.930
left hip.

00:10:29.930 --> 00:10:32.830
It's all connected and
then come back to center.

00:10:32.830 --> 00:10:36.070
Hold onto your
focus and slow and steady,

00:10:36.070 --> 00:10:38.080
take it to the other side.

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.240
Nice. Bring it 
all the way back.

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.920
Release the head.

00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:49.720
Drag the palms
underneath the shoulders,

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.241
curl the toes under,

00:10:51.241 --> 00:10:53.160
press all the way up to Plank

00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:55.550
and then send it to
Downward Facing Dog.

00:10:57.064 --> 00:11:00.560
On your next inhale, lift your
right leg up towards the sky.

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:01.960
Exhale, shift it forward.

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:06.256
You're gonna step it all the way
up and pivot on the back foot.

00:11:06.256 --> 00:11:09.240
From here, we're gonna
rise up for Warrior II.

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.280
So you're gonna
open up the arms,

00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:14.880
right fingertips forward,
left fingertips back.

00:11:15.888 --> 00:11:18.440
Just take a second
to find your footing.

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.040
Bend that front knee deeply.

00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:21.690
Pull the pinkies back and

00:11:21.690 --> 00:11:24.550
lengthen through
the crown of the head.

00:11:24.550 --> 00:11:25.980
Neck nice and long.

00:11:27.045 --> 00:11:29.360
Then keep that front knee bent,
Reverse Warrior.

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.560
Right fingertips
reach up and over.

00:11:32.458 --> 00:11:34.200
And we lengthen
through the side body.

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.940
Keep the bent knee.

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:39.797
Engage the left inner thigh.

00:11:39.797 --> 00:11:41.360
Now have fun with this move,

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.390
cartwheel it all the
way back to your lunge.

00:11:44.390 --> 00:11:47.050
Plant the palms.
Step it back, Plank.

00:11:47.050 --> 00:11:48.640
Slowly lower to your belly.

00:11:49.532 --> 00:11:51.240
Inhale for a Cobra.

00:11:52.401 --> 00:11:54.400
Exhale to release.

00:11:55.208 --> 00:11:56.760
Press up to Plank here.

00:11:56.760 --> 00:11:59.560
Quietly whisper to yourself,
"I am strong."

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:00.950
I am strong.

00:12:00.950 --> 00:12:02.720
And then send the
hips up high and back.

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.760
Once again, Down Dog.

00:12:05.662 --> 00:12:06.740
Breathe in.

00:12:07.507 --> 00:12:08.670
Breathe out.

00:12:08.670 --> 00:12:11.280
On your next breath in,
lift the left leg up high.

00:12:12.027 --> 00:12:15.435
Exhale, shift it forward
and then step it all the way up.

00:12:15.435 --> 00:12:19.080
Pivot on the back foot 
and we rise up, Warrior II.

00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.560
Take your time.
No rush.

00:12:23.705 --> 00:12:25.235
Now find your footing.

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.480
So once you find your footing,
your foundation,

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.900
you start building from 
the ground up, right?

00:12:31.900 --> 00:12:34.700
We all know this and our
physical practice gives us a

00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:39.990
chance to really embody that
and remember that in our bodies.

00:12:39.990 --> 00:12:41.800
Front knee stays bent.
Here we go.

00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:45.120
Big gesture up and over.

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.600
Left fingertips reaching back.

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.370
Engage the right inner
thigh for a little support.

00:12:51.319 --> 00:12:52.920
Breathe.

00:12:54.251 --> 00:12:55.220
Reach, reach, reach

00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:57.560
and then cartwheel
it all the way back down.

00:12:57.560 --> 00:12:59.030
Take up space.

00:12:59.030 --> 00:13:01.120
Come back to your lunge.

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.820
Awesome. Step the 
left foot back here.

00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:05.080
Breathe in.

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.320
Breathe out as you
slowly lower to the ground.

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.880
On your next breath in,
rise up, Cobra.

00:13:13.144 --> 00:13:16.309
And exhale, soften and release.

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.760
Curl the toes under, drag the
hands underneath the shoulders.

00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:20.560
Inhale,

00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:24.200
press up to Plank again and
quietly whisper to yourself,

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:25.529
"I am strong."

00:13:25.529 --> 00:13:27.400
I am strong.

00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:28.900
Hips up high and back.

00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:30.981
Downward Facing Dog.

00:13:30.981 --> 00:13:33.115
Nice.
Take a deep breath in here.

00:13:33.797 --> 00:13:36.468
And a long breath out.

00:13:36.476 --> 00:13:38.516
Inhale, lift the right leg high.

00:13:38.516 --> 00:13:41.158
Listen carefully.
Exhale, right knee comes all

00:13:41.158 --> 00:13:44.970
the way up and through
for a One-Legged Pigeon.

00:13:44.970 --> 00:13:47.742
Press into the
top of the back foot.

00:13:47.742 --> 00:13:49.452
Tent the palms,
so you're gonna lift the palms,

00:13:49.452 --> 00:13:51.048
press into the fingertips.

00:13:51.048 --> 00:13:53.030
Inhale, lift up.

00:13:53.030 --> 00:13:55.018
Find length through the crown.

00:13:56.383 --> 00:13:58.201
Breathe in.

00:13:58.201 --> 00:14:00.606
Stay here. Draw the
shoulder blades together.

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:02.879
Breathe out.

00:14:05.422 --> 00:14:07.426
Breathe in.

00:14:07.426 --> 00:14:09.668
On the exhale, you can 
come to the forearms if

00:14:09.668 --> 00:14:12.030
you like or maybe
you stay upright today.

00:14:15.954 --> 00:14:18.188
Couple breaths here.

00:14:25.165 --> 00:14:28.914
And then slowly bring
the hands to the mat.

00:14:28.914 --> 00:14:32.645
We'll gently press back
up to Three-Legged Dog.

00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:34.811
Nice.

00:14:34.811 --> 00:14:37.835
Then lower the right foot.

00:14:37.835 --> 00:14:39.323
Right heel to the
ground and inhale,

00:14:39.323 --> 00:14:41.397
lift the left leg up high.

00:14:41.397 --> 00:14:42.684
Exhale, take it all the way

00:14:42.684 --> 00:14:46.170
forward for your
One-Legged Pigeon.

00:14:46.170 --> 00:14:49.875
Take a look back at that right
foot and really press the top

00:14:49.875 --> 00:14:51.197
of that right foot 
into the ground.

00:14:51.197 --> 00:14:53.103
Try to get your 
toes, ankles, and shin

00:14:53.103 --> 00:14:55.969
all in one line 
so it's not curving.

00:14:57.058 --> 00:14:58.346
And then we press up.

00:14:58.346 --> 00:15:02.055
We find the lift
of the heart here.

00:15:03.398 --> 00:15:05.729
So there's
tightness in the hips.

00:15:05.729 --> 00:15:07.712
There's a lot
going on down there.

00:15:07.712 --> 00:15:12.448
And yet from there we
listen and slowly maintain this

00:15:12.448 --> 00:15:15.886
awareness up through the
midline through our heart space.

00:15:15.886 --> 00:15:17.867
Take a deep breath in.

00:15:17.867 --> 00:15:19.687
And then keep 
that listening going

00:15:19.687 --> 00:15:22.069
as you
soften and surrender,

00:15:22.069 --> 00:15:25.910
maybe bringing the
forearms to the earth.

00:15:28.204 --> 00:15:31.225
Couple cycles of breath here.

00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.372
And then bringing the
hands slowly back to the mat and

00:15:49.372 --> 00:15:52.433
returning to that 
Three-Legged Dog

00:15:52.433 --> 00:15:54.850
as you inhale in.

00:15:56.231 --> 00:15:59.368
As you exhale, lower
the left leg to the ground.

00:15:59.368 --> 00:16:01.200
We're gonna come to the knees,

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.154
allow them to
gently kiss the mat.

00:16:04.154 --> 00:16:06.775
And we're gonna
swing the legs to one side,

00:16:06.775 --> 00:16:12.065
any side, and slowly 
come to lie on our backs.

00:16:14.464 --> 00:16:17.703
When you get there,
hug your knees into the chest

00:16:17.703 --> 00:16:20.329
and give yourself
a little massage.

00:16:21.392 --> 00:16:26.047
You can soften your
gaze here or close your eyes.

00:16:38.626 --> 00:16:39.400
Nice.

00:16:39.400 --> 00:16:41.100
Then extend the left leg long

00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:44.182
and hug the right knee 
into the chest, breathe in.

00:16:45.472 --> 00:16:48.720
As you exhale, take a twist,
right knee over to the left,

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.560
opening up
through your right arm,

00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:52.880
your right wing,

00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:54.800
your right armpit chest.

00:17:00.481 --> 00:17:05.000
And then slowly
melt it back to center,

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.560
bring the left knee in,
extend the right leg out.

00:17:09.002 --> 00:17:10.290
Inhale in.

00:17:10.290 --> 00:17:13.750
Exhale, take your 
left knee over to the right,

00:17:13.750 --> 00:17:16.760
open up through your left wing,
your left arm.

00:17:16.760 --> 00:17:19.140
Feel that stretch 
through the pec.

00:17:20.171 --> 00:17:21.150
Breathe in.

00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.355
Breathe out.

00:17:27.763 --> 00:17:29.100
Breathe in.

00:17:31.186 --> 00:17:32.320
And breathe out.

00:17:35.492 --> 00:17:37.840
And slowly bring
it back to center.

00:17:40.327 --> 00:17:43.320
Allow the feet to come as
wide as your yoga mat here.

00:17:43.320 --> 00:17:46.700
If you have a blanket and you
want to use it here as a pillow,

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.711
you could.

00:17:48.761 --> 00:17:50.530
We'll allow the knees 
to come together

00:17:50.530 --> 00:17:53.120
and allow the hands
to gently rest on the belly.

00:17:56.154 --> 00:17:58.190
Close your eyes 
or soften your gaze

00:17:58.190 --> 00:18:01.960
and feel the warmth of
your hands here on your center.

00:18:10.149 --> 00:18:15.600
Draw your attention
to this loving awareness.

00:18:17.871 --> 00:18:21.080
This opportunity
for loving awareness.

00:18:33.102 --> 00:18:37.010
And just be with this feeling,
whatever it is for you,

00:18:37.010 --> 00:18:39.040
of loving awareness.

00:18:50.268 --> 00:18:52.000
Then you can stay with that or

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.881
there's an invitation to 
send that loving awareness

00:18:57.923 --> 00:18:59.881
to others.

00:19:01.142 --> 00:19:06.040
Other people
practicing this video.

00:19:09.464 --> 00:19:13.280
Someone who's in need
of a friend right now.

00:19:19.263 --> 00:19:22.321
Even those who 
are working hard

00:19:24.382 --> 00:19:27.120
to show up for others.

00:19:31.728 --> 00:19:36.357
One way that I like to do
this that just feels really

00:19:36.357 --> 00:19:40.500
actionable on the mat
is to think about

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:43.440
inhaling love in.

00:19:47.998 --> 00:19:50.910
And exhaling love out.

00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:52.760
So it's a give and take.

00:19:54.813 --> 00:19:57.380
Inhale love in.

00:20:02.664 --> 00:20:05.941
And exhale love out.

00:20:08.499 --> 00:20:11.680
And one more time,
inhale lots of love in.

00:20:14.295 --> 00:20:18.120
And exhale lots of love out.

00:20:19.216 --> 00:20:21.557
Walk the feet together,

00:20:21.557 --> 00:20:23.800
can extend one leg
and then the other.

00:20:24.679 --> 00:20:26.960
If it feels good,
take the arms all the way up

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.400
and overhead for a
nice full body stretch.

00:20:31.918 --> 00:20:33.760
And we'll bring
the palms together,

00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:35.790
thumbs to third eye.

00:20:35.790 --> 00:20:38.400
That's to that
seat of intuition.

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.000
We like to think about this
point is like our inner knowing.

00:20:44.418 --> 00:20:45.760
You know,
your intuition,

00:20:45.760 --> 00:20:49.200
it's like your gut instinct,
your feeling, trust it.

00:20:50.122 --> 00:20:55.280
I send lots of love to you and
thank you so much for sharing

00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:57.940
your time and
valuable energy with me.

00:20:59.739 --> 00:21:01.280
Hope to see you again soon.

00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:05.760
Let's take one last
sip of breath in together.

00:21:07.066 --> 00:21:09.880
And exhale to
close the practice.

00:21:11.933 --> 00:21:13.414
Take good care.

00:21:15.367 --> 00:21:18.758
(upbeat music)
