00:00:00.601 --> 00:00:03.270
- Hello everyone and 
welcome to Revolution.

00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:05.539
Your 31 day yoga journey.

00:00:05.539 --> 00:00:08.007
I'm so honored and 
excited that you're here.

00:00:08.007 --> 00:00:12.742
It's day one and the 
practice is focus on ease.

00:00:12.746 --> 00:00:14.231
So fear not if 
you're a little tired,

00:00:14.231 --> 00:00:15.970
a little heavy today, I got you.

00:00:15.970 --> 00:00:17.985
We're easing 
into it but we're also

00:00:17.985 --> 00:00:22.456
setting ourselves up for a 
smooth ride by focusing on sukha

00:00:22.456 --> 00:00:25.626
or ease on the very first 
day as a way of making sure

00:00:25.626 --> 00:00:27.227
that we take care of our bodies

00:00:27.227 --> 00:00:31.158
and move with a kindness 
and a love that you deserve.

00:00:31.158 --> 00:00:32.730
And that I deserve as well.

00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:36.281
So hop in to something 
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:36.281 --> 00:00:39.281
(light music)

00:00:44.378 --> 00:00:47.247
Alright my friends let's begin 
in a nice comfortable seat.

00:00:47.247 --> 00:00:49.429
Legs crossed.

00:00:49.429 --> 00:00:51.752
Sukhasana or the easy pose.

00:00:53.718 --> 00:00:57.264
So sukhasana, sukha is 
the Sanskrit word for ease

00:00:57.264 --> 00:00:59.927
which is the focus of 
our first practice here

00:00:59.927 --> 00:01:01.995
on this journey together.

00:01:03.130 --> 00:01:05.999
So I'll invite you 
to sit up nice and tall.

00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:10.543
Close your eyes, 
trust me, trust yourself.

00:01:10.543 --> 00:01:13.333
Trust the video and 
trust this experience

00:01:13.333 --> 00:01:15.493
by closing your eyes.

00:01:16.243 --> 00:01:20.080
So don't cheat 
yourself here, close your eyes.

00:01:22.983 --> 00:01:25.752
And take a nice deep breath in

00:01:25.752 --> 00:01:29.356
and as you exhale 
relax the shoulders down.

00:01:30.684 --> 00:01:34.401
And as we just take a 
moment here to settle in.

00:01:34.401 --> 00:01:35.748
Tune in.

00:01:38.318 --> 00:01:41.501
Allow the closing of 
the eyes to be an invitation

00:01:41.501 --> 00:01:45.172
to come in to the 
role of the observer here.

00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:48.469
So you might actually 
think we're here to do

00:01:48.469 --> 00:01:51.772
31 days of yoga, well 
I have a little secret for you.

00:01:51.772 --> 00:01:55.282
We're actually not 
here to do 31 days of yoga.

00:01:55.282 --> 00:01:57.284
Boring, that is 
so two years ago.

00:01:57.284 --> 00:01:59.786
31 days of yoga, boring.

00:01:59.786 --> 00:02:01.255
So we're really here,

00:02:01.255 --> 00:02:02.917
we're gonna use the 
tools of yoga of course.

00:02:02.917 --> 00:02:07.131
But we're really here to 
create and have an experience.

00:02:08.061 --> 00:02:11.098
So today's practice is 
just about getting soft

00:02:11.098 --> 00:02:15.537
and easy, setting 
the tone for a journey,

00:02:15.537 --> 00:02:18.205
a practice that feels good.

00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:22.733
So begin to deepen your 
breath, just nice and slow,

00:02:22.733 --> 00:02:26.179
gently with the inhale.

00:02:26.179 --> 00:02:29.511
And soft and 
easy with the exhale.

00:02:32.091 --> 00:02:35.288
And so the focus 
of today, sukha, ease,

00:02:35.288 --> 00:02:40.027
is kind of perfect because 
the mantra here on the channel

00:02:40.027 --> 00:02:42.923
and in this community 
is find what feels good.

00:02:42.923 --> 00:02:47.401
And the word sukha although 
it can translate to ease

00:02:47.401 --> 00:02:52.205
and it kind of also 
translate to being comfortable

00:02:52.205 --> 00:02:55.328
and soft and happy.

00:02:55.328 --> 00:03:00.347
The actual root word su and 
kha translate to good space.

00:03:00.347 --> 00:03:04.684
So here on our journey 
we are exploring our bodies

00:03:04.684 --> 00:03:06.853
and our breath

00:03:08.379 --> 00:03:10.707
and trying to really,

00:03:12.459 --> 00:03:15.519
go on journey 
within that good space.

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:17.661
The idea of being that 
yes, we're going to get trim

00:03:17.661 --> 00:03:21.421
and tone and fit and 
amazing in our bodies.

00:03:21.421 --> 00:03:23.140
But that, that's 
really just container

00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:25.295
for what's on the inside.

00:03:25.295 --> 00:03:28.178
So tending to 
that good space inside.

00:03:28.178 --> 00:03:31.178
Knowing that if we 
tend to the inner world,

00:03:31.178 --> 00:03:35.618
the good space within we'll 
able to access that off the mat

00:03:35.618 --> 00:03:37.960
with more ease, with more sukha.

00:03:41.018 --> 00:03:43.087
Alright draw your 
hands to your heart.

00:03:43.087 --> 00:03:45.856
Anjali mudra,
prayer position.

00:03:45.856 --> 00:03:47.191
We'll take a deep breath in,

00:03:47.191 --> 00:03:49.159
sit up nice and tall.

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.295
And exhale bat 
the eyelashes open.

00:03:52.605 --> 00:03:54.958
So we're going to 
start by bowing head to heart

00:03:54.958 --> 00:03:56.944
and bowing to one another 
here as we begin this journey.

00:03:56.944 --> 00:03:59.497
So take a deep 
breath in (inhales)

00:03:59.497 --> 00:04:03.247
and exhale, bow 
the chin to the chest.

00:04:03.247 --> 00:04:05.488
Now keep it here and 
I'll guide you with my voice.

00:04:05.488 --> 00:04:07.590
We're going to activate through 
the upper back body here.

00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:09.493
Bowing head to heart.

00:04:11.678 --> 00:04:14.336
Nice long smooth 
deep breaths.

00:04:15.469 --> 00:04:17.171
And so you take what 
you need on this journey

00:04:17.171 --> 00:04:20.007
and the key word 
I think is allow.

00:04:20.007 --> 00:04:21.909
Allow for the story to unfold.

00:04:21.909 --> 00:04:24.077
We're not here to do yoga.

00:04:24.077 --> 00:04:25.812
Surprise.

00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:28.500
But we're here to 
have an experience.

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:29.668
Can't wait to see what happens.

00:04:29.668 --> 00:04:31.637
Here we go, 
inhale, lift the chin,

00:04:31.637 --> 00:04:33.338
release the 
finger tips to the side,

00:04:33.338 --> 00:04:34.707
take a deep breath 
in through the nose.

00:04:34.707 --> 00:04:37.242
Loop your shoulders, 
open up through the chest.

00:04:37.242 --> 00:04:39.815
(inhales) And then 
exhale out through the mouth.

00:04:39.815 --> 00:04:41.921
(exhale loudly)
Two more like that.

00:04:41.921 --> 00:04:44.851
Big inhales, sit 
up nice and tall.

00:04:44.851 --> 00:04:47.341
(inhales) 
Exhale out through the mouth.

00:04:47.341 --> 00:04:49.673
(exhales loudly) 
One more,

00:04:49.673 --> 00:04:51.725
maybe walk your 
pinkies back a little bit.

00:04:51.725 --> 00:04:55.362
Inhale (breathing in) 
and exhale empty it out.

00:04:55.362 --> 00:04:58.008
(exhaling loudly) So soft 
easy movement here

00:04:58.008 --> 00:05:00.378
as you plant the 
left palm and inhale,

00:05:00.378 --> 00:05:02.406
lift the right 
finger tips up and over.

00:05:02.406 --> 00:05:04.021
So notice right away 
if you're pretty rigid.

00:05:04.021 --> 00:05:08.008
See if you can find 
soft, easy movements.

00:05:08.008 --> 00:05:10.177
Then side body stretch here.

00:05:10.177 --> 00:05:13.547
Finding movement 
that feels good.

00:05:13.547 --> 00:05:17.433
So today's practice is 
nice and low to the ground.

00:05:17.433 --> 00:05:20.497
So you can settle in, 
I got your back.

00:05:23.305 --> 00:05:25.129
Then inhale all 
the way up to center

00:05:25.129 --> 00:05:26.989
and we'll take it 
to the other side.

00:05:26.989 --> 00:05:29.572
Create a smooth ride for 
yourself with the breath,

00:05:29.572 --> 00:05:31.840
with your awareness.

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:34.810
(breathing heavily)

00:05:39.183 --> 00:05:41.819
Then inhale, come all 
the way back up to center.

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:43.487
And this time 
loop the shoulders,

00:05:43.487 --> 00:05:46.223
open the palms, take a 
deep breath through the nose.

00:05:46.223 --> 00:05:48.625
(inhales) And this 
time out through the nose.

00:05:48.625 --> 00:05:51.018
(exhales heavily) 
Two more times.

00:05:51.018 --> 00:05:54.788
In through the nose 
and out through the nose.

00:05:56.423 --> 00:05:59.259
Last time, palms are 
open, ready to receive.

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:03.710
(inhales heavily)
Beautiful, inhale.

00:06:03.710 --> 00:06:05.249
Reach the 
fingertips all the way up.

00:06:05.249 --> 00:06:08.821
Big stretch up towards the sky

00:06:08.821 --> 00:06:11.071
and exhale, hands to heart.

00:06:12.405 --> 00:06:15.709
Nice, we're going to come to 
all fours, table top position.

00:06:15.709 --> 00:06:19.012
How you move from one 
thing to the next is everything.

00:06:19.012 --> 00:06:22.449
So again consider the 
practice of sukha, of ease today

00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:24.711
as you transition to table top.

00:06:24.711 --> 00:06:26.319
Take your time.

00:06:29.466 --> 00:06:31.335
Alright, center 
yourself on the mat

00:06:31.335 --> 00:06:33.737
and set yourself 
up for greatness here.

00:06:33.737 --> 00:06:35.906
So lots of TLC as 
you plant the hands,

00:06:35.906 --> 00:06:37.841
spread the fingertips wide.

00:06:37.841 --> 00:06:39.343
Wrists underneath the shoulders,

00:06:39.343 --> 00:06:41.278
knees directly 
underneath the hip points.

00:06:41.278 --> 00:06:43.213
Notice that the 
toes are going in and out

00:06:43.213 --> 00:06:44.715
and each time you 
come to this shape

00:06:44.715 --> 00:06:49.019
really be meticulous 
with how you set yourself up.

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:52.990
So we'd find the form and 
then we liberate ourselves.

00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:54.232
We find a little 
freedom within the form.

00:06:54.232 --> 00:06:58.692
As you inhale drop 
the belly, open the chest.

00:06:58.692 --> 00:07:00.404
Then as you exhale 
moving with the breath

00:07:00.404 --> 00:07:04.574
round through 
the spine, cat, cow.

00:07:04.574 --> 00:07:08.745
Inhale, open your heart, 
press into your foundation.

00:07:09.940 --> 00:07:11.508
And then soft easy movement

00:07:11.508 --> 00:07:13.410
as you draw the 
chin to the chest.

00:07:13.410 --> 00:07:17.848
So don't create any added 
tension for yourself here.

00:07:17.848 --> 00:07:22.767
Move with the 
mindfulness and with an ease.

00:07:24.511 --> 00:07:29.049
Alright on your next inhale
come back to table top position.

00:07:29.049 --> 00:07:30.667
Bring the big toes together,

00:07:30.667 --> 00:07:32.416
send the knees as 
wide as your yoga mat

00:07:32.416 --> 00:07:35.335
and then walk the hands 
out towards the front edge.

00:07:35.335 --> 00:07:37.471
Then inhale, 
look forwards, smile

00:07:37.471 --> 00:07:40.374
and exhale send the hips back.

00:07:40.374 --> 00:07:41.870
Life is good.

00:07:43.563 --> 00:07:45.294
Inhale, big breath here,

00:07:45.294 --> 00:07:48.632
feel the skin of 
the back stretch.

00:07:48.632 --> 00:07:50.422
And exhale, 
allow the hips,

00:07:50.422 --> 00:07:52.272
the bum to 
grow heavy here,

00:07:52.272 --> 00:07:54.787
extended child's pose.

00:07:54.787 --> 00:07:56.956
Now I invite you to 
take really active arms here,

00:07:56.956 --> 00:07:59.824
feeling that 
length in the side body.

00:07:59.824 --> 00:08:01.662
Sending lots of 
energy and awareness

00:08:01.662 --> 00:08:03.931
through every fingerprint.

00:08:03.931 --> 00:08:06.366
However if you 
were up late last night

00:08:06.366 --> 00:08:09.472
or you're feeling a bit 
tired for whatever reason,

00:08:09.472 --> 00:08:12.839
maybe you soften the arms 
and bring the palms face up.

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.315
So that's what we're 
trying to establish today.

00:08:16.315 --> 00:08:19.827
Really becoming aware 
that we have the choice,

00:08:21.685 --> 00:08:24.671
to show up on the mat 
and really stay present.

00:08:26.889 --> 00:08:31.751
Feel it out and 
tend to that good space.

00:08:32.949 --> 00:08:35.285
Take one more deep breath here.

00:08:35.285 --> 00:08:39.182
(inhales heavily) 
Exhale out through the mouth.

00:08:39.182 --> 00:08:42.309
(exhales heavily) 
Awesome, big inhale.

00:08:42.309 --> 00:08:44.791
Lifts you all the 
way back up to all fours.

00:08:44.791 --> 00:08:46.580
Walk the wrists 
underneath the shoulders.

00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:49.162
Knees directly 
underneath the hips.

00:08:49.162 --> 00:08:51.018
Inhale, send the 
right leg out long.

00:08:51.018 --> 00:08:53.600
Turn the right toes down

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.212
and then press in 
your foundation here.

00:08:55.212 --> 00:08:57.370
Hug the lower ribs in.

00:08:57.370 --> 00:09:00.173
Inhale, send the 
left fingertips forward.

00:09:00.173 --> 00:09:02.776
Spinal balance and 
exhale, knee to nose.

00:09:02.776 --> 00:09:04.511
Round everything in.

00:09:04.511 --> 00:09:08.348
Inhale to expand, spread 
the fingers, spread the toes.

00:09:08.348 --> 00:09:11.751
Exhale, knee to nose, only 
three of these on each side.

00:09:11.751 --> 00:09:13.987
One more, inhale to expand.

00:09:14.835 --> 00:09:17.666
Then exhale knee to nose.

00:09:17.666 --> 00:09:19.336
Release back to table top.

00:09:19.336 --> 00:09:20.507
We do a cat/cow in between.

00:09:20.507 --> 00:09:23.496
Inhale, drop the belly.

00:09:23.496 --> 00:09:25.298
Tap in to that 
inner smile, it's amazing

00:09:25.298 --> 00:09:28.279
it's helpful. And then 
exhale chin to chest.

00:09:29.502 --> 00:09:32.274
Awesome, inhale back to table.

00:09:32.274 --> 00:09:34.228
Find your footing, 
find your foundation

00:09:34.228 --> 00:09:36.106
and when you're ready 
send the left toes out long.

00:09:36.106 --> 00:09:38.548
Big inhale. 
(inhaling heavily)

00:09:38.548 --> 00:09:41.881
Now take a moment here 
to turn the left toes down.

00:09:41.881 --> 00:09:44.278
Hug those lower 
ribs in, find support

00:09:44.278 --> 00:09:46.630
and then inhale 
right finger tips reach out.

00:09:46.630 --> 00:09:48.688
Exhale, knee to nose.

00:09:49.733 --> 00:09:52.410
Two more, inhale expand.

00:09:52.410 --> 00:09:56.596
Exhale, try to 
soften and move with ease.

00:09:56.596 --> 00:09:59.332
And inhale no 
added tension here.

00:10:00.270 --> 00:10:02.149
Exhale knee to nose.

00:10:02.743 --> 00:10:05.312
Beautiful, back to table top.

00:10:05.312 --> 00:10:08.548
Inhale drop the belly, 
spinal flex here.

00:10:09.728 --> 00:10:12.724
Exhale, chin to chest, fabulous.

00:10:14.180 --> 00:10:17.413
Inhale, come to table top, 
curl the toes under.

00:10:17.413 --> 00:10:19.319
If you walk the 
hands out a little bit

00:10:19.319 --> 00:10:21.675
and then when you're 
ready keeping the knees bent,

00:10:21.675 --> 00:10:25.745
start to peel up from the tail, 
downward facing dog.

00:10:25.745 --> 00:10:27.297
Take your dog for a little walk.

00:10:27.297 --> 00:10:29.233
Soft, easy movement today.

00:10:29.233 --> 00:10:30.624
So again we're setting out

00:10:30.624 --> 00:10:33.492
to go on a 
little journey together.

00:10:33.492 --> 00:10:36.202
It's very personal, 
it's very individual.

00:10:36.202 --> 00:10:40.142
But also remember that you're 
doing it with tons of people,

00:10:40.142 --> 00:10:41.618
all around the globe, 


00:10:41.618 --> 00:10:45.478
connecting to the 
big picture here.

00:10:45.478 --> 00:10:49.738
So find a soft, 
easy, pedaling of the feet.

00:10:50.987 --> 00:10:53.000
Root down through your 
index finger and thumbs.

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.159
Take one more 
deep breath in here

00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.092
and then exhale slowly 
lower all the way back down,

00:10:59.092 --> 00:11:01.104
table top position.

00:11:01.104 --> 00:11:04.397
Bring the big toes together, 
knees as wide as the mat.

00:11:04.397 --> 00:11:07.081
Inhale, look forward, tap 
in to that inner smile here,

00:11:07.081 --> 00:11:09.420
it's super 
helpful and then exhale.

00:11:09.420 --> 00:11:12.138
Send the hips on back.

00:11:12.809 --> 00:11:14.911
So try to stay 
active in this pose today.

00:11:14.911 --> 00:11:18.081
We often will come 
to this pose to rest,

00:11:18.081 --> 00:11:21.645
to cool down, to surrender

00:11:21.645 --> 00:11:22.915
but see if you 
can keep it active.

00:11:22.915 --> 00:11:25.448
So nice active breath here,

00:11:25.448 --> 00:11:30.557
send awareness all the way 
down to the soles of the feet.

00:11:30.557 --> 00:11:35.207
The hips, start to open up 
gently through the shoulders

00:11:37.072 --> 00:11:39.498
and if you have a little 
bit of a headache now today

00:11:39.498 --> 00:11:42.759
or just if it feels 
right you can rock the forehead

00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.817
gently side to side.

00:11:43.817 --> 00:11:45.642
Just kind of 
massaging that third eye,

00:11:45.642 --> 00:11:49.142
kind of perfect
for our day one.

00:11:50.727 --> 00:11:52.562
And then decide what 
feels good in the hands,

00:11:52.562 --> 00:11:57.234
active arms or soft easy 
arms and your palms face up.

00:11:58.297 --> 00:11:59.879
And you have to 
bring the breath here.

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:00.804
Bring the breath.

00:12:00.804 --> 00:12:04.224
Start to listen to the sound 
of your breath in a new way.

00:12:04.224 --> 00:12:07.226
(breathing heavily)

00:12:09.997 --> 00:12:12.069
Alright press in to 
the tops of the feet

00:12:12.069 --> 00:12:15.749
and on your next big 
inhale come all the way back up.

00:12:15.749 --> 00:12:18.681
Walk the knees 
underneath the hips.

00:12:18.681 --> 00:12:20.593
This time we're going 
to curl the toes under.

00:12:20.593 --> 00:12:22.529
Press away from your yoga mat.

00:12:22.529 --> 00:12:24.677
Hovering table, we inhale,

00:12:24.677 --> 00:12:26.423
tug the shoulders 
away from the ears.

00:12:26.423 --> 00:12:28.147
Lengthen through 
the crown of the head.

00:12:28.147 --> 00:12:30.817
So be sure the neck 
is a nice long extension

00:12:30.817 --> 00:12:33.529
of the spine here, 
not collapsed.

00:12:33.529 --> 00:12:36.623
Then inhale in and on an 
exhale draw the navel up,

00:12:36.623 --> 00:12:38.785
lift the knees and 
let them hover for five.

00:12:38.785 --> 00:12:42.695
Breathe deep here, four, 
pressing in to all your fingers.

00:12:42.695 --> 00:12:45.247
Three, two,

00:12:45.247 --> 00:12:47.667
welcome that heat and one.

00:12:47.667 --> 00:12:49.483
Slowly lower down.

00:12:49.483 --> 00:12:50.654
Awesome, from 
here we're going to

00:12:50.654 --> 00:12:52.705
walk the hands 
out towards the front

00:12:52.705 --> 00:12:55.258
and then slide the right 
foot back, followed by the left.

00:12:55.258 --> 00:12:59.333
Come into our one and only 
plank here today on day one.

00:12:59.333 --> 00:13:00.794
So draw the navel up.

00:13:00.794 --> 00:13:02.565
Again press away 
from your yoga mat.

00:13:02.565 --> 00:13:04.350
Tug the shoulders 
away from the ears.

00:13:04.350 --> 00:13:07.887
You can also repeat the 
hovering table here if you wish.

00:13:07.887 --> 00:13:09.389
Here we go.

00:13:09.389 --> 00:13:11.291
Five, count four,

00:13:11.291 --> 00:13:14.761
three, two and one.

00:13:14.761 --> 00:13:16.529
See if as you release you can

00:13:16.529 --> 00:13:18.870
consider the theme 
of today's practice,

00:13:18.870 --> 00:13:20.720
to move with ease.

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.603
Awesome, swing 
the toes to one side,

00:13:23.603 --> 00:13:26.272
come to a seat right 
in the center of your mat.

00:13:26.272 --> 00:13:28.107
Awesome work, if you 
need to take the wrists

00:13:28.107 --> 00:13:30.843
for a couple of wrist 
circles here please do.

00:13:30.843 --> 00:13:33.513
Legs are going to come out long.

00:13:37.634 --> 00:13:39.352
When you arrive 
set up nice and tall.

00:13:42.321 --> 00:13:44.359
And then nice and slowly we're 
going to draw the right knee

00:13:44.359 --> 00:13:46.834
all the way up, sole of the 
right foot comes to the ground.

00:13:46.834 --> 00:13:49.392
You're going to give yourself 
about a fist's width of space

00:13:49.392 --> 00:13:51.504
between your left and your thigh

00:13:51.504 --> 00:13:53.099
and then for 
starters just see if

00:13:53.099 --> 00:13:55.343
you can interlace the fingertips
here, sit up nice and tall.

00:13:55.343 --> 00:13:57.583
So if you really 
collapse here you might sit up

00:13:57.583 --> 00:13:59.226
on a blanket or something.

00:13:59.226 --> 00:14:02.875
Sit up nice and tall, do 
your best, that's all we can do.

00:14:02.875 --> 00:14:05.745
And then you might just 
stay here and begin to turn,

00:14:05.745 --> 00:14:07.613
to look past the right shoulder

00:14:07.613 --> 00:14:10.149
or you might hook 
left elbow to right knee,

00:14:10.149 --> 00:14:11.984
swing your right 
fingertips around.

00:14:11.984 --> 00:14:17.220
Inhale, find 
length and exhale twist.

00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:18.822
So everyone's going to be 
a little bit different here.

00:14:18.822 --> 00:14:21.093
The main thing we 
want to set up is that,

00:14:21.093 --> 00:14:23.996
the head, the heart and 
the pelvis are in alignment.

00:14:23.996 --> 00:14:26.165
So you don't want to be leaning 
back into your twist here

00:14:26.165 --> 00:14:28.788
but finding that 
support from within.

00:14:28.788 --> 00:14:32.405
And then keeping 
it soft and easy.

00:14:32.405 --> 00:14:36.576
As you explore the twist, 
so no cranking, no pushing.

00:14:38.646 --> 00:14:41.131
So we kind of drop the struggle.

00:14:41.791 --> 00:14:44.494
Even if it means 
we don't go as far.

00:14:44.494 --> 00:14:47.443
There's an integrity.

00:14:47.443 --> 00:14:50.810
(breathing deeply)

00:14:54.941 --> 00:14:57.077
Beautiful and we'll release.

00:14:57.077 --> 00:15:00.419
Right foot goes out, left knee 
comes all the way up and in.

00:15:02.141 --> 00:15:04.737
And then just for 
starters find that length.

00:15:04.737 --> 00:15:09.208
Don't take this for granted 
this support from within.

00:15:11.310 --> 00:15:15.789
So good for the energy 
of the body, the spine.

00:15:15.789 --> 00:15:16.887
And then you can stay here

00:15:16.887 --> 00:15:20.303
and just begin to turn 
past your left shoulder.

00:15:20.303 --> 00:15:23.116
Or if you like hook the 
right arm around the left knee,

00:15:23.116 --> 00:15:25.038
swim the left fingertips around

00:15:25.038 --> 00:15:26.926
and we journey into the twist.

00:15:26.926 --> 00:15:30.345
So inhale, to lift and lengthen.

00:15:30.345 --> 00:15:33.123
And exhale to twist.

00:15:33.123 --> 00:15:36.435
And let your breath 
move you here, soft and easy.

00:15:36.435 --> 00:15:39.372
(breathing deeply)

00:15:46.723 --> 00:15:49.159
Beautiful and then 
come all the way back.

00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.128
Send both legs out long, 
dig the heels into the ground

00:15:52.128 --> 00:15:56.299
and the knees can be bent 
as generously as you need here.

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:57.901
So find what feels good for sure

00:15:57.901 --> 00:15:59.903
by bending the 
knees a lot if you like.

00:15:59.903 --> 00:16:01.671
And inhale, reach for the sky,

00:16:01.671 --> 00:16:03.206
big beach ball up and overhead.

00:16:03.206 --> 00:16:05.308
And then exhale, draw energy up.

00:16:05.308 --> 00:16:08.411
Up and over, 
paschimottanasana, forward fold.

00:16:08.411 --> 00:16:10.647
Again bend the knees 
as generously as you need.

00:16:10.647 --> 00:16:13.116
We're here for three breaths.

00:16:13.116 --> 00:16:17.506
Finding nice, 
smooth deep breaths here.

00:16:18.377 --> 00:16:22.215
(breathing deliberately)

00:16:29.188 --> 00:16:31.578
And then slowly tuck 
the chin in to the chest

00:16:31.578 --> 00:16:33.226
and roll it up.

00:16:37.140 --> 00:16:39.709
Beautiful, we'll bring 
the hands to the earth

00:16:39.709 --> 00:16:42.545
and come to lie 
flat on our backs.

00:16:45.895 --> 00:16:49.232
When you get there take 
a big full body stretch.

00:16:49.232 --> 00:16:51.000
Pointing and 
flexing through the feet

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.171
and reaching the fingertips 
all the way up and overhead.

00:16:58.434 --> 00:17:00.336
Inhale lots of love in.

00:17:01.658 --> 00:17:03.660
Exhale lots of love out.

00:17:05.550 --> 00:17:07.954
Beautiful, float the hands down.

00:17:07.954 --> 00:17:11.023
Soft easy movement 
here as we play in bridge.

00:17:11.023 --> 00:17:13.059
So we'll bring the knees up

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:15.494
and the soles of the 
feet come to the ground.

00:17:15.494 --> 00:17:17.797
So again, today's about 
kind of setting the tone,

00:17:17.797 --> 00:17:19.398
that we're not going 
to be jerking ourselves

00:17:19.398 --> 00:17:23.225
around on the yoga 
mat or rushing or holding.

00:17:23.225 --> 00:17:25.605
We'll build strength for sure,

00:17:25.605 --> 00:17:29.000
moving in that direction

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.820
as the days grow long.

00:17:30.820 --> 00:17:33.613
But keep it soft and easy 
today so walk the heels in,

00:17:33.613 --> 00:17:34.678
in line with your fingertips.

00:17:34.678 --> 00:17:37.293
Snuggle the shoulder blades 
underneath your heart space

00:17:37.293 --> 00:17:38.928
and see if you can keep it soft

00:17:38.928 --> 00:17:40.283
and easy as you lift the hips.

00:17:40.283 --> 00:17:43.293
So don't fling the hips up 
into the air but stay in control

00:17:43.293 --> 00:17:45.662
as you press in to 
the feet and inhale.

00:17:45.662 --> 00:17:47.895
Start to explore 
the line of the spine

00:17:47.895 --> 00:17:50.186
as you lift the hips up.

00:17:50.186 --> 00:17:53.147
You can imagine a block 
in between the legs here

00:17:53.147 --> 00:17:56.800
so the knees aren't splaying 
out but we're squeezing in,

00:17:56.800 --> 00:17:58.274
the inner thighs there

00:17:58.274 --> 00:18:02.114
and then maybe open up 
through the palms as you lift

00:18:02.114 --> 00:18:05.785
and then your journey 
down with your breath.

00:18:06.429 --> 00:18:09.379
So take a moment here.

00:18:09.379 --> 00:18:12.915
Maybe you even close the 
eyes to just feel this out.

00:18:12.915 --> 00:18:15.851
Allow for

00:18:15.851 --> 00:18:18.131
whatever sensation 
this brings to come

00:18:18.131 --> 00:18:18.999
and then notice it.

00:18:18.999 --> 00:18:21.461
So again we're not 
trying to do bridge,

00:18:21.461 --> 00:18:23.954
but just experience it.

00:18:32.722 --> 00:18:35.658
Let's do one 
more wherever you are.

00:18:37.213 --> 00:18:40.550
Maybe on this last one 
you interlace the fingertips

00:18:40.550 --> 00:18:41.884
behind the tail.

00:18:42.913 --> 00:18:46.815
Keep breathing, 
nice full deep breaths.

00:18:50.129 --> 00:18:54.067
And then use your 
exhale to release everything.

00:18:55.155 --> 00:18:56.823
We'll walk the feet together

00:18:56.823 --> 00:18:58.385
and then send 
the knees out wide.

00:18:58.385 --> 00:19:00.827
Reclined cobbler's pose.

00:19:00.827 --> 00:19:03.396
Bring your left hand to 
rest gently on your heart

00:19:03.396 --> 00:19:07.467
and your right hand to 
rest gently on your belly.

00:19:07.467 --> 00:19:08.735
Then take a deep breath in

00:19:08.735 --> 00:19:11.571
and close your 
eyes as you exhale.

00:19:18.444 --> 00:19:20.680
Relax the weight 
of your shoulders.

00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.617
Allow the tops of 
your thighs to grow heavy.

00:19:24.617 --> 00:19:29.606
Really relish in this time, 
in this experience for you.

00:19:31.481 --> 00:19:35.251
Tell your loved ones, tell 
the people who are around you

00:19:35.251 --> 00:19:39.088
that you've committed 
to this 31 day practice.

00:19:40.436 --> 00:19:42.146
Each day you 
show up on your mat,

00:19:42.146 --> 00:19:44.700
see if you can find a softness.

00:19:47.737 --> 00:19:52.672
A map in towards that 
sukha or the good space.

00:20:00.590 --> 00:20:03.926
One more minute just 
keep your eyes closed.

00:20:03.926 --> 00:20:06.562
Allow gravity to 
do the work here.

00:20:06.562 --> 00:20:09.699
Send nice conscious 
breath into your hands,

00:20:09.699 --> 00:20:13.238
your heart space and your belly.

00:20:13.238 --> 00:20:17.379
Two beautiful

00:20:17.379 --> 00:20:20.379
parts of the body that,

00:20:22.939 --> 00:20:24.444
for me anyway,

00:20:24.444 --> 00:20:28.975
resemble, embody, listening, 
deep listening into my heart,

00:20:28.975 --> 00:20:32.398
into my guts, 
my belly, my intuition.

00:20:32.398 --> 00:20:34.900
(breathing loudly)

00:20:40.053 --> 00:20:42.666
Great then slowly, softly,

00:20:42.666 --> 00:20:45.874
bring the fingertips to 
the outer edges of the legs.

00:20:45.874 --> 00:20:47.913
We'll close the knees

00:20:49.001 --> 00:20:52.338
and send one leg 
out and then the other.

00:20:54.527 --> 00:20:58.130
Interlace the finger tips 
bring them behind the head.

00:20:58.130 --> 00:21:00.199
Elbows nice and wide, 
thumbs extend.

00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:01.667
You can give 
yourself a little massage

00:21:01.667 --> 00:21:03.369
here in the back of the neck.

00:21:03.369 --> 00:21:04.430
Alright and if you're wanting

00:21:04.430 --> 00:21:06.488
a more restorative practice 
today for whatever reason.

00:21:06.488 --> 00:21:08.311
Then you're just 
going to chill here,

00:21:08.311 --> 00:21:11.310
giving yourself a little 
massage in the back of the head.

00:21:11.310 --> 00:21:13.246
Breathing deep.

00:21:13.246 --> 00:21:16.616
Otherwise we're going to 
slowly bring the heels together.

00:21:16.616 --> 00:21:18.951
Keep the elbows 
pinned to the ground.

00:21:18.951 --> 00:21:21.220
Start from the tail 
and slowly lift the knees,

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:22.402
all the way up to the chest.

00:21:22.402 --> 00:21:24.650
Keep the elbows 
pinned to the ground.

00:21:24.650 --> 00:21:27.059
Then exhale send them out long.

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:29.195
See if you can let 
them hover, inhale,

00:21:29.195 --> 00:21:33.886
slowly peeling up, 
lower back flush with the mat.

00:21:33.886 --> 00:21:35.356
Then exhale, release,

00:21:35.356 --> 00:21:38.348
keep the lower 
back flush with the mat.

00:21:38.348 --> 00:21:41.741
Slowly peeling up, 
keep the elbows.

00:21:43.743 --> 00:21:48.507
It's a little bit of core 
everyday, goes a long way.

00:21:48.507 --> 00:21:50.126
Great we'll do one more.

00:21:50.126 --> 00:21:52.981
Extending the legs out long,

00:21:52.981 --> 00:21:55.701
squeezing knees to chest.

00:21:55.701 --> 00:21:58.447
Awesome, slowly 
release the legs out long.

00:21:58.447 --> 00:22:00.292
Release the hands at your sides.

00:22:00.292 --> 00:22:02.732
Take a deep breath in.

00:22:02.732 --> 00:22:04.944
And exhale, release.

00:22:04.944 --> 00:22:08.110
Come into shavasana, 
soften through the toes,

00:22:08.110 --> 00:22:10.026
the feet, the ankles.

00:22:10.026 --> 00:22:13.399
Wiggle the fingers, the wrists.

00:22:13.399 --> 00:22:14.233
Soften.

00:22:15.735 --> 00:22:17.189
Tuck the chin slightly

00:22:18.138 --> 00:22:21.928
and we'll take just a 
couple of quiet moments here,

00:22:21.928 --> 00:22:24.814
to again tap 
into that inner smile.

00:22:24.814 --> 00:22:27.913
Listen to the 
sound of the breath

00:22:28.928 --> 00:22:33.833
and meditate on this idea 
of sukha, moving with ease.

00:22:33.833 --> 00:22:36.702
The more we practice 
moving this way on the mat,

00:22:37.762 --> 00:22:40.860
the more we'll move in 
such a way off the mat.

00:22:41.751 --> 00:22:44.287
I'm really excited 
about the next 30 days.

00:22:44.287 --> 00:22:48.057
Today is just a 
little taste, easing into it.

00:22:50.089 --> 00:22:54.694
Alright take a deep breath 
in of gratitude for your body.

00:22:57.762 --> 00:23:02.019
For this opportunity to 
take this time for yourself

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:05.651
and cultivate the 
good space, the sukha.

00:23:07.393 --> 00:23:09.629
Thank you so much for 
sharing your time and energy.

00:23:09.629 --> 00:23:11.597
I'm so excited 
for the next 30 days.

00:23:11.597 --> 00:23:13.165
Can't wait to 
see what happens.

00:23:13.165 --> 00:23:14.901
Let's draw the palms together

00:23:14.901 --> 00:23:19.705
and we close out the practice 
by taking a deep breath in.

00:23:19.705 --> 00:23:23.609
And bowing to that 
good space within ourselves

00:23:23.609 --> 00:23:25.278
and within everyone.

00:23:26.335 --> 00:23:28.037
I'll see you tomorrow day two.

00:23:28.037 --> 00:23:29.872
It's gonna be awesome.

00:23:29.872 --> 00:23:31.307
Namaste.

00:23:31.307 --> 00:23:34.043
(light music)
