WEBVTT 00:00:00.367 --> 00:00:01.501 - What's up dudes and dudettes? 00:00:01.501 --> 00:00:04.538 Welcome to day nine of your 31 day Yoga Revolution. 00:00:04.538 --> 00:00:06.440 I'm super excited because day nine 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.043 is all about feelin' fine, and we have an empower practice 00:00:10.043 --> 00:00:14.200 for you today, so the goal is to feel fine 00:00:15.415 --> 00:00:17.551 in our own body and our own skin, 00:00:17.551 --> 00:00:19.887 and that has everything to do with, 00:00:19.887 --> 00:00:22.322 yeah, how the body is working, but also in how 00:00:22.322 --> 00:00:24.725 we connect the mind, yes, to the body, 00:00:24.725 --> 00:00:26.860 and even the heart or the spirit to the body. 00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:29.596 So today we're gonna bring our best self to the mat 00:00:29.596 --> 00:00:33.700 and work on building strength in a way that is empowering 00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.136 and not disempowering, so that you get strong 00:00:36.136 --> 00:00:39.619 and tone and fit, and pumped, and feel amazing 00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:41.842 in a way that feels good and that's really healthy. 00:00:41.842 --> 00:00:44.211 Alright, let's get started. 00:00:44.211 --> 00:00:47.714 (upbeat music) 00:00:55.222 --> 00:00:58.058 Alright, let's begin on all fours. 00:00:59.126 --> 00:01:01.595 So honor exactly where you're at today. 00:01:01.595 --> 00:01:04.298 If you're not super pumped up, no worries, 00:01:04.298 --> 00:01:07.367 because the most empowering thing 00:01:07.367 --> 00:01:10.037 is to actually listen and be honest 00:01:10.037 --> 00:01:13.473 about how you're feeling in any given moment. 00:01:13.473 --> 00:01:17.246 And then by really listening, 00:01:17.246 --> 00:01:18.946 we can then practice 00:01:18.946 --> 00:01:21.782 responding in ways that feel good. 00:01:21.782 --> 00:01:24.484 So this also helps us off the mat, right, 00:01:24.484 --> 00:01:28.488 when we tend to be really reactionary to things. 00:01:30.857 --> 00:01:32.893 So, just keep that in mind as we dig in. 00:01:32.893 --> 00:01:35.162 If you're not full of energy to start, no worries, 00:01:35.162 --> 00:01:36.196 just honor where you're at. 00:01:36.196 --> 00:01:38.632 Come into a tabletop position, 00:01:38.632 --> 00:01:40.467 and then take it away. 00:01:41.301 --> 00:01:42.602 Honor thyself. 00:01:42.602 --> 00:01:45.639 Maybe it's an active Cat-Cow for you today, 00:01:45.639 --> 00:01:50.444 or maybe it's a little Child's Pose into Cat-Cow. 00:01:50.444 --> 00:01:54.648 Maybe you are working on building strength in the wrists, 00:01:54.648 --> 00:01:59.353 so you come to the fists and send the hips side-to-side. 00:01:59.353 --> 00:02:01.321 So the only thing is that I'll invite you 00:02:01.321 --> 00:02:05.092 to start exploring movement in the spine, 00:02:05.092 --> 00:02:08.929 and also to gently begin to deepen the breath. 00:02:15.369 --> 00:02:18.271 So we warm up the body, the spine physically, 00:02:18.271 --> 00:02:22.670 but we also are kind of warming up, 00:02:22.670 --> 00:02:25.840 exercising the mind-body connect here. 00:02:27.514 --> 00:02:31.718 So we're literally organizing the brain here, sayin', 00:02:31.718 --> 00:02:34.087 "Oh okay, yeah, it's time for practice." 00:02:34.087 --> 00:02:35.730 Day nine, hmm. 00:02:37.958 --> 00:02:41.328 So after some movement here, little Cat-Cow variation 00:02:41.328 --> 00:02:43.497 and whatever feels good, we'll make our way 00:02:43.497 --> 00:02:48.442 to Downward Facing Dog, and commit to the same bit. 00:02:48.442 --> 00:02:49.903 (laughs) 00:02:49.903 --> 00:02:51.805 Listening to your body. 00:02:54.775 --> 00:02:59.206 And moving in one continuous movement. 00:03:00.947 --> 00:03:02.416 So a lot of you have heard me say it before, 00:03:02.416 --> 00:03:07.457 no yoga robots, but really connected from fingers to toes, 00:03:07.854 --> 00:03:12.326 from head to tail, from side-to-side, 00:03:12.326 --> 00:03:15.215 take a deep breath in, and exhale, 00:03:15.215 --> 00:03:16.930 drop the heels, allow them to grow heavy. 00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:20.200 It doesn't matter if they touch the mat or not. 00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:23.570 Wonderful, then press into that index finger and thumb. 00:03:23.570 --> 00:03:24.881 Press away from your yoga mat. 00:03:24.881 --> 00:03:27.074 Lift your hip creases even more. 00:03:27.074 --> 00:03:31.144 Then hug the lower ribs in, and inhale, look forward, 00:03:31.144 --> 00:03:35.282 and exhale, make your way to the top, any way you like. 00:03:37.617 --> 00:03:39.619 Couple breaths here in Forward Fold. 00:03:39.619 --> 00:03:43.490 I recommend a generous bend in the knees here. 00:03:43.490 --> 00:03:47.027 Start to connect through all four corners of the feet. 00:03:47.027 --> 00:03:49.696 Allow the blood to flow opposite direction here. 00:03:49.696 --> 00:03:52.766 Really great, detoxifying pose here, 00:03:52.766 --> 00:03:54.568 lot of people don't realize letting the blood flow 00:03:54.568 --> 00:03:58.212 opposite direction of standing, 00:04:00.073 --> 00:04:02.642 great for the lymphatic system. 00:04:07.414 --> 00:04:09.116 And then again, organizing the brain to go, 00:04:09.116 --> 00:04:11.017 oh, okay, yeah, yeah. 00:04:11.017 --> 00:04:12.652 Now I pay attention to my feet. 00:04:12.652 --> 00:04:16.822 This is the part of the day where I tend to my 00:04:18.437 --> 00:04:21.060 health, 00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:22.896 in both mind and body. 00:04:24.264 --> 00:04:25.832 Roll it up to Mountain. 00:04:25.832 --> 00:04:27.567 Take your time, bend your knees, 00:04:27.567 --> 00:04:30.498 tuck your chin, nice and slow. 00:04:40.413 --> 00:04:45.018 And find that strong lift up through your chest, 00:04:45.018 --> 00:04:49.618 and that strong anchor down through the shoulder blades. 00:04:51.324 --> 00:04:55.629 Now you're gonna tap into a fierce, victorious breath today, 00:04:55.629 --> 00:04:59.799 an ujjayi breath, so big sip of air in through the nose. 00:05:01.735 --> 00:05:03.804 And out through the nose. 00:05:05.772 --> 00:05:07.874 And so we're creating this soft restriction 00:05:07.874 --> 00:05:08.775 in the back of the throat. 00:05:08.775 --> 00:05:10.043 You can even bring the tip of the tongue 00:05:10.043 --> 00:05:12.445 to the roof of the mouth to play with that, 00:05:12.445 --> 00:05:17.017 and if you want to dive deeper into ujjayi breath 00:05:17.017 --> 00:05:19.286 or delve deeper into that pranayama, 00:05:19.286 --> 00:05:22.989 then you can check out that video as a supplement 00:05:22.989 --> 00:05:24.658 to today's practice. 00:05:29.696 --> 00:05:33.099 So we try to recreate this sound of the ocean, 00:05:33.099 --> 00:05:37.337 or like when you take the conch shell to your ear, 00:05:37.337 --> 00:05:41.474 back before we had cellphones, that's what we did. 00:05:42.442 --> 00:05:44.544 (laughs) 00:05:45.378 --> 00:05:49.516 And I can hear my neighbor singing opera, that's cool. 00:05:50.383 --> 00:05:53.119 He's a regular character on my Snapchat. 00:05:53.119 --> 00:05:55.722 So we'll allow our ujjayi breath to drown out 00:05:55.722 --> 00:05:58.892 my beautiful neighbor's opera singing. 00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:04.264 And see if you can really listen 00:06:04.264 --> 00:06:06.967 to the sound of your breath. 00:06:06.967 --> 00:06:11.037 (inhaling and exhaling) 00:06:11.037 --> 00:06:14.374 Then use your next big inhale to reach for the sky, 00:06:14.374 --> 00:06:16.810 keep that rotation in the shoulder that we've playing with 00:06:16.810 --> 00:06:20.981 and use the sound of your breath to lift your fingers up. 00:06:21.881 --> 00:06:23.683 And then exhale, hands come together, 00:06:23.683 --> 00:06:25.218 and we go down through the midline 00:06:25.218 --> 00:06:27.621 on that nice, audible exhale. 00:06:31.324 --> 00:06:34.327 Audible inhale lifts you up halfway. 00:06:37.097 --> 00:06:40.428 Audible exhale to Forward Fold. 00:06:43.203 --> 00:06:47.374 Big inhale lifts you all the way up towards the sky. 00:06:49.843 --> 00:06:53.513 Soft and easy as you exhale, hands to heart. 00:06:55.115 --> 00:06:56.483 Namaste. 00:06:56.483 --> 00:06:58.551 So, honoring where you're at today, 00:06:58.551 --> 00:07:01.721 bringing that sense of ease, but also that stability, 00:07:01.721 --> 00:07:04.124 and now we're gonna start to really 00:07:04.124 --> 00:07:08.295 power up with the breath, so big inhale, reach for the sky. 00:07:10.397 --> 00:07:12.666 Big exhale to Forward Fold. 00:07:14.834 --> 00:07:17.504 Big inhale lifts you up halfway. 00:07:18.371 --> 00:07:22.809 Notice if you're rushing here, slow it down, exhale, fold.

some yogi squats. 00:23:29.074 --> 00:23:30.576 Bringing the heat. 00:23:32.544 --> 00:23:37.016 Toning the muscles, but working with the breath 00:23:37.016 --> 00:23:40.686 and an integrated spine,

the thighs here. 00:24:08.647 --> 00:24:11.650 Had to sync up with my breath again. 00:24:12.718 --> 00:24:13.952 Inhale, lower. 00:24:13.952 --> 00:24:15.508 Exhale, lift. 00:24:17.122 -->

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.635 One, finish it out. 00:24:29.635 --> 00:24:31.203 On your next one, lower down, 00:24:31.203 --> 00:24:33.672 bring the palms together, namaste and at the heart. 00:24:33.672 --> 00:24:35.374 Sink back a little lower, a little lower. 00:24:35.374 --> 00:24:36.308 Lift your toes. 00:24:36.308 --> 00:24:37.910 Little lower, little lower. 00:24:37.910 -->

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:48.053 Time to cool down. 00:24:48.053 --> 00:24:50.189 (sputtering breath) 00:24:50.189 --> 00:24:52.458 Take a couple moments here in Forward Fold, 00:24:52.458 --> 00:24:54.226 shake the head loose. 00:24:56.095 --> 00:24:57.529 Find your breath. 00:24:58.897 --> 00:25:01.433 Then find a soft bend in your knees here. 00:25:01.433 --> 00:25:04.470 Take your gaze straight down. 00:25:04.470 --> 00:25:06.004 And nice and slow, we're gonna walk the feet 00:25:06.004 --> 00:25:08.107 as wide as the yoga mat and allow the toes 00:25:08.107 --> 00:25:10.409 to spill off the edge. 00:25:10.409 --> 00:25:12.578 And try to track your knees over your toes here, 00:25:12.578 --> 00:25:14.513 so we're not rolling in on the arches, 00:25:14.513 --> 00:25:16.782 but really pressing into all four corners of the feet 00:25:16.782 --> 00:25:20.586 even here, and then from here, I'll slowly drop my center 00:25:20.586 --> 00:25:22.855 down, nice, low yogi squat. 00:25:23.722 --> 00:25:25.224 So body's gonna speak to you right away, 00:25:25.224 --> 00:25:27.192 so remember how powerful that stability 00:25:27.192 --> 00:25:28.761 through the spine, that awareness is, 00:25:28.761 --> 00:25:31.163 so start to open up through your chest, 00:25:31.163 --> 00:25:33.532 find that rotation in the shoulders even here, 00:25:33.532 --> 00:25:35.634 and maybe the palms come together. 00:25:35.634 --> 00:25:39.838 If the heels do not come down to the ground, it's A-Okay. 00:25:39.838 --> 00:25:43.308 You just get an extra bonus stretch in your feet, 00:25:43.308 --> 00:25:46.311 in that fascia in the Achilles. 00:25:46.311 --> 00:25:51.283 So we're gonna stay here in this squat variation breathing, 00:25:51.283 --> 00:25:54.052 pressing the arms into the legs, the legs into the arms, 00:25:54.052 --> 00:25:56.388 or perhaps you're in Froggy. 00:25:57.556 --> 00:25:59.377 Or, we are going to take a 00:25:59.377 --> 00:26:01.727 little moment for Bakasana, Crow. 00:26:01.727 --> 00:26:03.662 So it's optional. 00:26:03.662 --> 00:26:06.131 And the main thing is to keep the gaze out. 00:26:06.131 --> 00:26:07.699 So the spine nice and long. 00:26:07.699 --> 00:26:09.601 You don't want to bring the gaze down, 00:26:09.601 --> 00:26:11.170 'cause then you're gonna do a little somersault, 00:26:11.170 --> 00:26:12.504 a little tumble. 00:26:13.505 --> 00:26:15.674 Little tumble and fall. 00:26:15.674 --> 00:26:18.043 So, plant the palms mindfully. 00:26:18.043 --> 00:26:19.311 And then walk the toes together. 00:26:19.311 --> 00:26:21.113 Again, you can opt out of this and just chill 00:26:21.113 --> 00:26:23.615 in your squat, breathing deep, 00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:27.252 like the animal that you are. 00:26:28.153 --> 00:26:30.322 And I mean that in a good way. 00:26:30.322 --> 00:26:33.392 And if you're practicing Crow, bring the toes together, 00:26:33.392 --> 00:26:35.627 plant the palms mindfully, and then all this glorious 00:26:35.627 --> 00:26:39.231 work we've done with our core and the spine, find lift, 00:26:39.231 --> 00:26:41.333 hike the knees up to the armpit chest. 00:26:41.333 --> 00:26:43.769 And, I'm gonna come to the center of my mat, 00:26:43.769 --> 00:26:48.073 and then send your gaze forward before you even lift at all. 00:26:48.073 --> 00:26:49.541 Now that rotation of the shoulders, 00:26:49.541 --> 00:26:51.410 imagine your two pickle jars going out 00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:53.745 in the opposite directions, and then gaze forward 00:26:53.745 --> 00:26:57.549 as you maybe lift one toe and then the other. 00:26:57.549 --> 00:26:58.917 Press away from your yoga mat. 00:26:58.917 --> 00:27:00.319 Breathe deep here. 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.621 Think Cat through the spine. 00:27:03.822 --> 00:27:05.958 And then release. 00:27:05.958 --> 00:27:08.460 Awesome, slowly come onto your back. 00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:09.294 Take your time. 00:27:09.294 --> 00:27:12.764 If you're in the squat, use your hands to come out. 00:27:12.764 --> 00:27:15.767 We'll take a big, full body stretch. 00:27:18.704 --> 00:27:19.671 Oops. 00:27:19.671 --> 00:27:22.074 Fingertips reaching all the way up and overhead, 00:27:22.074 --> 00:27:24.476 and point and flex your toes here. 00:27:24.476 --> 00:27:28.146 Feel supported by the ground underneath you. 00:27:33.018 --> 00:27:36.054 Then float the hands down and hike the right knee 00:27:36.054 --> 00:27:38.557 all the way up towards your chest. 00:27:38.557 --> 00:27:41.426 Squeeze right knee all the way up towards the chest, 00:27:41.426 --> 00:27:44.429 and then open towards the right shoulder. 00:27:44.429 --> 00:27:45.998 And then exhale, supine twist. 00:27:45.998 --> 00:27:49.067 Take the right knee over towards the left side of your mat. 00:27:49.067 --> 00:27:51.703 You can hook the right foot on your left inner thigh 00:27:51.703 --> 00:27:55.523 or let it go free and liberated. 00:27:57.075 --> 00:27:58.911 And then try to anchor your right shoulder down 00:27:58.911 --> 00:28:02.414 as you breathe deeply and close your eyes. 00:28:10.088 --> 00:28:14.426 Then inhale in and exhale, come back to center. 00:28:14.426 --> 00:28:16.361 Send the right leg out long. 00:28:16.361 --> 00:28:18.397 Lift the left knee in. 00:28:18.397 --> 00:28:20.399 Hug it in towards your chest and then open it 00:28:20.399 --> 00:28:22.200 towards your left shoulder. 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.371 And then big inhale, big exhale takes you into your twist. 00:28:32.511 --> 00:28:35.180 Close your eyes, relax your jaw. 00:28:40.852 --> 00:28:44.790 Inhale, and then exhale, come all the way back. 00:28:46.491 --> 00:28:51.129 Happy Baby, so hike both knees up towards the chest. 00:28:51.129 --> 00:28:52.397

00:28:58.937 towards the front edge of your mat 00:28:58.937 --> 00:29:00.606 so that your lower back comes up, 00:29:00.606 --> 00:29:02.608 so you create a little bit of space there. 00:29:02.608 --> 00:29:06.311 And then kick one foot up, and maybe the other. 00:29:06.311 --> 00:29:08.246 And then find movement here that feels awesome, 00:29:08.246 --> 00:29:12.843 so you can extend one leg,
