offering a side 00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:19.410 body sequence today which is fantastic 00:00:19.410 --> 00:00:21.060 if you're traveling and your body just 00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:22.890 feels crumpled at the end of a long road 00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:25.439 trip or even on a plane it brings a 00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:27.060 little spaciousness to the entire body 00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:29.910 and you can do it on your hotel room 00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:31.500 floor or the truck stop or in the 00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:34.649 airport or in a beautiful Botanical 00:00:34.649 --> 00:00:38.070 Garden so Google your tatical Gardens 00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:40.140 wherever you're at hop on the mat and 00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:44.510 let's learn side bodies sequence 00:00:53.590 --> 00:00:55.850 okay I'm going to come into a nice 00:00:55.850 --> 00:00:58.700 cross-legged position to start letting 00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:00.140 my sit bones root down through the 00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:02.239 ground and just taking a second on your 00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:06.530 own to roll up through the spine already 00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:08.270 kind of establishing that we are going 00:01:08.270 --> 00:01:11.570 to take some time here for ourselves to 00:01:11.570 --> 00:01:13.580 check in with the body find what feels 00:01:13.580 --> 00:01:16.369 good so that we don't really worry about 00:01:16.369 --> 00:01:19.610 the goal or the pose but just focus on 00:01:19.610 --> 00:01:22.869 the process of the experience okay a 00:01:22.869 --> 00:01:25.930 couple loops of the shoulders here 00:01:25.930 --> 00:01:28.310 anything you think you might need to 00:01:28.310 --> 00:01:32.020 just check in 00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:36.430 and then slowly I'll lift and lengthen 00:01:36.430 --> 00:01:38.050 from the crown of the head to the tip of 00:01:38.050 --> 00:01:40.510 the tailbone I'll hug my navel in 00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:42.190 towards my spine just coming into 00:01:42.190 --> 00:01:44.800 integrity in the torso so I'm not just 00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:46.600 collapsing into my bones but I'm really 00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:48.400 drawing up from the pelvic floor 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.950 whatever that means to you kind of 00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:52.900 plugging in tops of the thighs or 00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:55.830 drawing down as the heart lifts up 00:01:55.830 --> 00:01:58.690 inhale take your left fingertips bring 00:01:58.690 --> 00:02:03.430 them to the side and then I'll take my 00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:06.040 right palm turn it up and on a breath in 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.479 reaching towards the right side of my 00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:09.639 mat I'll think up and over so rather 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.440 than just cranking over into my side 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:13.240 body stretch collapsing in the left side 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.080 body kind of cranking here straining and 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.250 I'm going to think about space spacious 00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:24.970 so reaching towards the left side excuse 00:02:24.970 --> 00:02:27.640 me right side and then going up and over 00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:28.840 nice and slow 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:30.850 first I reach up big beautiful tree 00:02:30.850 --> 00:02:33.550 above me and then I plant the left palm 00:02:33.550 --> 00:02:37.360 and slowly take your time go into my 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.520 side body stretch so again rather than 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.470 just getting to the goal 00:02:41.470 --> 00:02:45.220 I'm enjoying the process which is what 00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:50.980 our Yoga is all about is being in the 00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:54.360 moment and enjoying the the journey 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.120 rather than the destination really 00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.680 feeling the skin of the side body 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.510 stretch nice and long you're all the way 00:03:01.510 --> 00:03:03.850 up through the fingertips enjoying the 00:03:03.850 --> 00:03:08.830 ride right enjoying the road trip loop 00:03:08.830 --> 00:03:10.510 the shoulders even here drawing the 00:03:10.510 --> 00:03:12.160 shoulder blades in and together and down 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:14.500 lots of space between the left ear and 00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:15.910 left shoulder so again the tendency is 00:03:15.910 --> 00:03:18.370 going to be to collapse here and I want 00:03:18.370 --> 00:03:19.690 to create lots of space so if that means 00:03:19.690 --> 00:03:21.760 I don't go as far that's fine extending 00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:23.830 through the crown of the head sit bones 00:03:23.830 --> 00:03:26.230 still rooted down really breathing into 00:03:26.230 --> 00:03:28.090 the side body lastly this is very 00:03:28.090 --> 00:03:29.920 important I'm going to inhale spiral my 00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:31.390 heart towards the sky so even if it 00:03:31.390 --> 00:03:33.780 doesn't make a big move intentionally 00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:37.780 intentionally my intention is to open 00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:40.620 the chest 00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:44.170 if this puts a little strain on the neck 00:03:44.170 --> 00:03:46.330 I can still keep my gaze softened down 00:03:46.330 --> 00:03:47.890 and rotate the heart up towards the sky 00:03:47.890 --> 00:03:49.900 take a deep breath in inhale reach 00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:51.640 through the right fingertips draw your 00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:53.290 left shoulder away from your left ear 00:03:53.290 --> 00:03:56.230 nice and long and then on an exhale I'll 00:03:56.230 --> 00:03:58.660 float it back now right fingertips come 00:03:58.660 --> 00:04:01.390 to the mat I inhale flip the left palm 00:04:01.390 --> 00:04:04.810 up I'm spiraling in the shoulder here so 00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:06.550 this is reminding me to drop that 00:04:06.550 --> 00:04:09.010 shoulder blade in I reach towards the 00:04:09.010 --> 00:04:12.250 left side and then slowly transition up 00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:14.860 and when I'm ready planting the right 00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:17.769 palm now and slowly nice and easy going 00:04:17.769 --> 00:04:19.630 into my side stretch 00:04:19.630 --> 00:04:23.050 so really enjoying the sensation can 00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:24.580 feel the skin on my left side body 00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:28.479 stretching nice and long I'm pressing up 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:30.690 and out of the outer edges of the feet 00:04:30.690 --> 00:04:33.040 keeping the lower body still awake and 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.060 grounded as I move into my side stretch 00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:38.710 now you can experiment here everyone's 00:04:38.710 --> 00:04:39.639 different you can reach your right 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.350 fingertips further away for a little 00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:43.270 extra space maybe it feels better to 00:04:43.270 --> 00:04:45.160 have this here to remind you to keep 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.650 space in the right side body so just 00:04:47.650 --> 00:04:50.880 checking in to each his own 00:04:55.700 --> 00:04:58.090 nice long smooth deep breaths here 00:04:58.090 --> 00:05:00.410 making sure that we

master the pose right again we're 00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:23.649 just using it as an opportunity to check 00:14:23.649 --> 00:14:25.119 in with the bots especially if you've 00:14:25.119 -->

00:16:31.170 posture hands back to the waistline here 00:16:31.170 --> 00:16:33.270 found already use this as a reminder to 00:16:33.270 --> 00:16:35.640 tuck the pelvis inhale lift and lengthen 00:16:35.640 --> 00:16:37.740 through the spine and exhale I'm gonna 00:16:37.740 --> 00:16:39.990 soften here by bringing my right elbow 00:16:39.990 --> 00:16:42.120 to the top of the thigh 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.680 but I'm not going to collapse my weight 00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:45.000 into it that's the first tendency and 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.050 then it's kind of hard to get back from 00:16:46.050 --> 00:16:48.120 there so stay lifted stay lengthened 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.700 from here almost like a ballerina would 00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:52.320 you know like they have such strength 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.890 from here to here some strong muscle 00:16:55.890 --> 00:16:58.020 man's watching this going like ballerina 00:16:58.020 --> 00:17:03.370 what not muscle men do ballot every yeah 00:17:03.370 --> 00:17:05.589 let's bring the right elbow to the top 00:17:05.589 --> 00:17:06.339 of the thigh 00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:08.440 from here before I even get this hand 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.390 involved I'm going to this is what I've 00:17:10.390 --> 00:17:12.069 been practicing spiral my heart up 00:17:12.069 --> 00:17:13.900 towards the sky now the thing

like collapse 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.700 here and actually instead of bringing an 00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:41.920 awareness into the deep muscles we could 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.840 even injure
