on the mat for a good cause open 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:02.320 your mind open your heart 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:13.840 and let's get started 00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:18.799 all right so we're going to begin on our 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.479 backs today 00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:23.840 take a second to stretch out 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.799 and just get settled in so any movement 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.720 you want to make here 00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:31.280 maybe reaching the arms up and overhead 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.240 maybe pointing and flexing the feet 00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:36.640 rotating the wrist anything that feels 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.320 good 00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:40.000 just kind of settling into the moment 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.600 here 00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:44.720 dropping into the moment so that you can 00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:47.759 enjoy your practice 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.560 maybe inhale and then exhale 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.840 let go of the day thus far 00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:00.479 and inhale and exhale let go 00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:02.640 of what's to come your to-do list and 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.560 just kind of settle into this moment 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.479 here and when you're ready 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:09.038 we're going to bring the hands to the 00:02:09.038 --> 00:02:10.399 area that we're going to be focusing on 00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:12.800 today so one hand is going to come just 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.760 below 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:16.400 the belly button or the navel and then 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.640 the other hand will come just above 00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:20.160 so essentially we have one hand on the 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:22.000 lower belly 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.280 and one hand just above right below the 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.120 rib cage here 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.239 in the solar plexus spread your palms 00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:30.720 wide 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:34.239 and then take a deep breath in 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.879 and exhale relax your legs your ankles 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.800 your shoulders your elbows down so if 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.319 you're caught here go ahead and relax 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.040 everything down 00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:45.680 then on your next breath in see if you 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.280 can breathe into your hands 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.200 whatever that means to you so i'm 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:50.879 because we're working with the 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.440 chakra today and kind of stimulating the 00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:54.879 energetic body there might be some 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.480 things that i say that 00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:58.959 may confuse you or throw you off 00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:00.560 especially if you're new to the practice 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.400 i encourage you to not get too caught up 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.680 in your mind and just 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.040 see um what you can do with my prompts 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.000 so the first 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.440 one that we'll play with is breathing 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.280 into your hands or sending breath to 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.720 your belly 00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:14.080 so again you might think well what does 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.519 it mean to send breath to my belly and 00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:17.519 so just explore that 00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:19.360 whatever it means to you if you're 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.360 familiar with belly breathing or 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:22.800 diaphragmatic breathing then you might 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.400 begin that now and we're just going to 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.120 begin to send some breath to this area 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.000 of the body 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.239 where the third chakra points lie 00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:34.480 so perhaps as you inhale you feel the 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:35.760 lungs 00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:38.720 the abdominal wall kind of expands here 00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:41.840 and perhaps you hold at the top 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.480 so as you can see really stretching that 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:46.080 area of the body 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.000 maybe pausing at the top and then using 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.360 the exhale 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.920 to release with control 00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:57.200 so when you feel like you understand um 00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:58.799 what we're doing here go ahead and turn 00:03:58.799 --> 00:03:59.599 your gaze 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.720 up towards the ceiling or the sky and 00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:04.159 maybe even close your eyes we're just 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:05.920 going to play a little bit 00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:08.319 with some belly breathing here again 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.640 breathing into this area of the body 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:12.640 that we're going to stretch and 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:14.080 stimulate and strengthen 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.519 and balance today 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:20.798 at the very least you get a few nice 00:04:20.798 --> 00:04:24.400 long smooth deep breaths 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.919 to calm your nerves to relax 00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:33.919 into the moment and to help you 00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:36.560 choose 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:40.960 to enjoy your time with yourself 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.080 to make the most of your time on the mat 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.639 and to work in an empowering way this is 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.000 the perfect 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.520 practice of the perfect this will be the 00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:57.759 perfect sequence of poses to really gift 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.840 yourself with this sense of 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:04.880 connect to your inner power and 00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:08.080 that unique divine power that's unique 00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:11.840 to you 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:19.599 that is what this chakra is all about 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:25.840 balancing your personal power 00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:29.840 so that you can be confident 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.280 and so that you can 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:35.520 be in a place where you can help others 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.520 and encourage 00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:40.960 that in the world 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:43.840 so just take a couple more full belly 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:46.000 breaths just playing and experimenting 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.840 here even if you only get one good one 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:10.080 and then we'll gently release one hand 00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:11.680 down 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.800 follow the by the other 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.319 and then we'll slide one leg up 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.199 followed by the other and we'll take us 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.880 a second here to just wrap the arms 00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:24.319 around the shin so you know what to do 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:24.800 here 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.560 and rock a little side to side um 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.440 little lower back a body of love here as 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:33.759 you maybe draw circles with the knees or 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.199 again 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.560 just rock a little side to side 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:40.960 find what feels good here and then when 00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:42.800 you're satisfied 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.600 slide the hands to the backs of the legs 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:46.960 and we're going to begin to 00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:49.440 rock and roll front to back so even here 00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:52.000 we're going to begin to activate a 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.599 little awareness which will then turn 00:06:53.599 --> 00:06:55.280 into a lot of awareness 00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:58.000 in this area of the third chakra okay so 00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.759 from the solar plexus down below the 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.039 navel there's a big there's a big 00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:02.720 conversation about where specifically 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:03.840 that is 00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:05.599 i'll talk more about that on the blog 00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:07.280 but we're going to just work with this 00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:10.240 area here so even from this place you 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.000 can draw the navel to the spine kind of 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.800 activate 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.720 this area of the body and then begin 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.120 your rock and roll 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.199 connect to a little playful energy here 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.960 if you can try not to take it too 00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:22.960 seriously as we rock front 00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:25.520 and back and then just notice if you've 00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:27.280 grown soft in this area see if you can 00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:30.080 kind of activate it by hugging muscle to 00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:31.360 bone 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.720 and then of course finding your breath 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.680 and then do one more 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.160 and then when you rise up lift up 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:43.599 through your heart bring the soles of 00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:45.520 the feet together 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:46.879 and the knees wide and we're going to 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.479 come to a cobbler's pose 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:54.160 and this is a little reflexology moment 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.599 this is awesome so a little bonus to 00:07:55.599 --> 00:07:56.639 your yoga practice here where we're 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.160 going to take the thumbs 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.960 right to the arches of the feet and this 00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:02.960 is the pressure point that's associated 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:04.319 with this third chakra that we're 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.840 playing with today so 00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:08.960 we massage this area of the foot 00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:12.080 and we stimulate the third 00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:16.160 chakra energy and its principles 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.400 and at the very least just get a nice 00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:21.120 little stimulation in the feet 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:26.000 a little foot massage 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.479 and then when you feel satisfied bring 00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:30.560 the hands to the ankles 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.679 and sit up nice and tall here draw the 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.599 shoulders away from the ears 00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:37.519 as you lift your heart take a deep 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.679 breath in 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.199 and a long breath out 00:08:43.839 --> 00:08:45.760 awesome we're going to take the ankles 00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:47.440 now and cross them 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.200 nice cross-legged position here we call 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:50.480 this sukhasana 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.040 as we sit up nice and tall palms on the 00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:55.360 tops of the knees 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.920 breathe in and breathe out 00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.519 great see if you can stack your head 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.680 over your heart and your heart over your 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:05.440 pelvis here 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.560 lengthen through the crown of the head 00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:12.560 and lift up through the center channel 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:14.399 so there's this energetic lift it's it's 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.000 more than just sit up tall 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.480 it's this kind of filling the body with 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.240 awareness and energy 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.839 this upward movement or just kind of 00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:26.399 intention 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.080 and then find places where you can also 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.240 ground an anchor maybe in the elbows 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.839 the shoulder blades the tops of the 00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:37.839 thighs 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.279 and then we're going to move and groove 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.360 with a little spinal flex here but also 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.200 stimulate this third chakra so what 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.000 we're going to do is move in a circle 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.000 inhaling as you smear the heart forward 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.360 and then we'll draw the chin to the 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.600 chest as you move around and back 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.920 draw the navel to the spine and exhale 00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:56.880 as you come through 00:09:56.880 --> 00:09:59.920 center again 00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:05.360 inhale coming forward and exhale chin to 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.959 chest as you come around 00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:09.359 and back 00:10:10.079 --> 00:10:11.680 now to really make the most of this 00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:13.920 you're gonna again anchor some awareness 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:17.120 in the space between kind of the navel 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.560 and the spine and then the surrounding 00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:20.560 areas there so you might even 00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:23.519 try to move from that place in your body 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.440 there's this image of the old-fashioned 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.920 coffee grinder moving around and around 00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:28.560 if you 00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:29.839 know what an old-fashioned coffee 00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:33.360 grinder looks like that might help you 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.240 as you really kind of move from that 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:36.720 place 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.640 also super awesome for the digestive 00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:40.720 organs here 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.600 move with your breath 00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.200 when you feel like you've had enough 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.600 reverse your circle and begin to maybe 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.120 stretch through the elbows and the 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.040 shoulders and the neck 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:52.240 so the beautiful thing about a home 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.160 practice too is you can kind of 00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:55.839 own it a little more maybe than you 00:10:55.839 --> 00:10:57.839 would in public so 00:10:57.839 --> 00:10:59.920 find what feels good here get a little 00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:02.479 freaky 00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:06.079 and then we'll come back to center once 00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:07.360 again returning to 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.079 head over heart heart over pelvis 00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:11.200 alignment 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.760 then draw your palms together and sit up 00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:15.360 nice and tall 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.640 if you'd like to just set a quick 00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:20.399 intention for the rest of your practice 00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:23.920 maybe connecting to 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.079 the deeper meaning here maybe why you 00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:31.199 rolled out your mat today 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.120 i'm going to take a deep breath in use 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.399 your exhale

00:11:47.760 and then we'll slowly come on to all 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:49.040 fours 00:11:49.040 --> 00:11:51.440 so take your time getting there when you 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:57.839 do spread your hands wide like starfish 00:11:57.920 --> 00:11:59.279 wrists underneath the shoulders knees 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.760 directly underneath the hip points 00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:03.920 then inhale in as you exhale press away 00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:05.360 from your yoga mat 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.880 hollow through the upper back body and 00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:09.040 lift your knees let them hover 00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:10.880 now we're engaging the abdominal wall 00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:13.040 here strong you might feel a little heat 00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:14.639 you might begin

00:12:35.360 when you arrive paddle the feet find 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.040 what feels good here as you bend the 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:38.399 knees 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.519 one and then the other 00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:45.200 then we'll go for a nice slow walk up 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.079 towards the middle of your mat 00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:50.399 and then take a forward fold feet hip 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.079 width apart grab the elbows rock a 00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:53.519 little side to side you know what to do 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.360 here 00:12:55.360 -->

breathing deep 00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:11.760 then we're going to slowly roll it up 00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:18.000 pressing into the feet drawing energy 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.519 up through the legs stacking the spine 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:22.560 and then eventually 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:25.839 lifting up through the sternum 00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.680 take a second to just get settled in so 00:13:27.680 --> 00:13:29.360 you might draw circles with the nose if 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.560 you have a crick in your neck 00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:32.880 you might loop the shoulders one way and 00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:35.839 then the other 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.480 and then when you feel satisfied send 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.839 the fingertips behind 00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:46.480

butterflying open through the 00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:54.320 front body but keeping the tailbone nice 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.920 and heavy here so we're not here 00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:58.399 but

moving to our first warrior 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.600 pose 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.600 we're going to slowly lift the back knee 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.800 up and spiral on that back foot 00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:34.399 so as you pivot on the back foot really 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.079 pay attention to pressing into that 00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:36.880 outer edge 00:15:36.880 -->

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:51.120 by dropping the tail down 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.040 and for me it helps to widen the stance 00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:55.120 a little bit here so i can find that 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.320 power that lift here that feels 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.639 um not forced but strong and lifted so 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.519 if you're 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.519
