take a deep do see full breath in really filling the back body with air on your exhale smile release your heart to the earth let go of the day thus far or maybe setting intentions for the day ahead we'll take a couple private moments here to connect to an intention and to deepen the breath beautiful you might repeat your intention here slowly rocking the head gently massaging the forehead here and then we'll confirm the intention with a deep breath in consider it already done already so big breath in and long breath out great on your next breath in spread your palms wide send your shoulder girdle towards the left person at the tops of your feet and inhale we rise up come forward on an exhale circle around and back through that extended Child's Pose again yummy and we're gonna keep

inhale tuck the chin into the chest and roll it up as you come into Mountain Pose 4s into all four corners of the feet as you open your heart and lift and lengthen up through the crown of the head and we'll send the fingertips left to right here in Mountain Pose so just like yesterday we're gonna take a second here to just kind of wipe the counter and open up through the chest stretching those muscles drawing the shoulder blades apart and then together keep breathing deep and inhale bring them in line with the shoulders and on an exhale palms come together again at the heart chin to chest

much and then we'll release curl the toes under press back up to that plank or half plank deep breath in and long breath out awesome work my friends send it up and back and downward facing dog work it out find your breath again we'll walk the two big toes together here and drop the left heel down strong really stretching through that left calf we inhale lift the right leg up high so I want to keep the hips level here I can really lift my right leg up high and I'm sure you can too but see if you can dial the right toes down and we're gonna build strength and slowly to your leg might be here and slowly in time with practice will begin to incrementally find that lift so find where you're at today notice that the body starting to tremble hug everything in towards the midline square your shoulders building strength with the support of the breath one more breath then we'll bend that right knee and squeeze it in and up towards the heart squeeze squeeze squeeze and then from here nice and easy careful not to slam your right foot down too hard as you can stay in control particularly in your Center as you step the right foot up great pivot on the back foot hands come to the waistline here and we loop the shoulders forward up and back to come up nice strong warrior one foundation here you might walk the right foot out make sure you're not on a tightrope really strong foundation

lower on to the knees come up to that Cobra or we'll shift the weight forward to coming on the big toes hug the elbows into the side body and slowly lower down chaturanga to upward facing dog so we have lots of options of course just a reminder stay kind to yourself together for me an outward facing dog walk the two big toes together my friends anchor down through the right heel this time so if your heels don't touch the ground in dog for one no who cares no worries but if you're kind of thinking about that lately this is a great place to really begin to connect that sit bone to heel connection anchoring that right heel down stretching those tight muscles of course without locking the knee staying buoyant as you inhale lift the left leg up high again leveling the hips drawing those left toes down press into the earth remember your right heel is a nice strong anchor here inhale in exhale bend the left knee squeeze it up and in towards your heart then draw your nose towards your knee deep breath and then we'll step it up and into our lunge pivot on the back foot hands come to the waistline keep that front knee bent as you loop your shoulders forward up and back then we

opening the chest taking up space and we'll take one more breath in here and use the exhale to draw the palms together at your heart once again chin to chest stretch through the back of the neck reach behind an inhale plug into the earth as you reach up high exhale forward fold inhale halfway lift exhale bow step or hop the feet back to plank or half plank move through a vinyasa that suits your mood today hugging the elbows in and lifting up to Cobra or updog keep it soft use your exhale to guide you back to downward facing dog when you arrive once again we'll bring the two big toes together

this time a long exhale out through the mouth then bending the knees generously again we'll take a deep breath in on an exhale float up towards the front if you're feeling adventurous or go for a slow walk together we'll and forward fold this time take a couple breaths here to explore a couple options you can bring the palms underneath the soles of the feet using the toes to massage the wrists feels really great you can interlace the fingertips behind the calves bend the elbows left to right begin to deepen this tone asana maybe interlacing the fingertips bringing them to the base of the neck or hanging like a rag doll wherever you are take one more full breath in and use your exhale to release inhale lift up halfway exhale bow inhale reach it all the way up fingertips spread and exhale to your heart last time here we go soft knees inhale send the fingertips left to right exhale palms together at the heart inhale reach behind send it all the way up crawl up through the spine stretch stretch stretch and then exhale enjoy this move as we release forward fold so nice inhale halfway lift and exhale soften and release back down great from here we're gonna plant the palms slide the toes back come into your downward facing dog deep breath in and on an exhale slow descend to the knees back down we're going to walk the fingertips up to meet the tops of the thighs and it's up to you if you want this kind of yoga for the feet moment you can stay on the feet like so if that is not comfortable for you today you can stay lifted tops of the feet press into the earth and we tuck the pelvis in option three which is just a little bit more advanced and I want you to be really mindful if you're new to the practice just be really careful in your knees option three would be to come into Verona a hero pose you can bring a block between the ankles or you can just snug your booty down in there Hale and bring the fleshy part of that calf to the side so we are coming into a hero variation essentially so we might be here sitting up nice and tall pressing into the tops of the feet we might be on a block or both guys if you're wanting to grow growver asana this is a great place to be or again we can just come simply to the toes we're here okay plenty of options you know I just want to take care of everybody okay so I'm gonna go in and use this blog and come into a little supported hero so wherever you are and you don't you don't have to feel stuck in one you can mix and match we're gonna come to that beautiful open heart and we're going to move with the breath here really challenging ourselves letting the breath again fuel the movement as we inhale send the fingertips out left to right exhale hands together at the heart chin to chest reach behind inhale lift up exhale keep the heart lifted as you float the fingertips down we're gonna do is three more times just moving with the breath here we go chin the chest might connect to that mucho you breath here that ocean sound chin to chest reach behind and last time here we go smoothing out all the hard edges after your final exhale here just let the fingertips rest gently at your sides or palms gently on the tops of the thighs close your eyes and find stillness notice how the deep breathing and this synchronicity can change your mood just notice how you feel then we'll bat the eyelashes open really nice everyone if you feel like you're in a calm you know state of meditation you might stay there longer instead of transitioning here so just again offering up a little playtime otherwise we're going to transition slowly to our buttocks you might take a forward fold here if your legs need to stretch out or mm-hmm you might come straight to flat back so I really like telling people what to do but what I'm trying to do here at the 30-day home practice is really encourage you and invite you to really listen to your body and empower you to kind of do this on your own as well so right now you could be meditating in hero pose for the rest of your practice you might be stretching your legs out or you might be here hugging the knees into the chest closing your eyes and asking your body what do I need next I'm gonna slide my hands to the inner arches coming into a little stirrup posture here or happy baby really pressing the soles of my feet up towards the sky and then gently finding a little opposition as I draw my shoulders down breathe here breathe into the hips this should feel amazing in the spine and the chest and the shoulders lengthen the tailbone down and you might even close your eyes here breathing deep into the hip creases even massaging your heels with your thumbs close your eyes trust the moment wherever you are and breathe deep and you can play here you might straighten the legs one and then the other you might transition into a twist you might draw a couple circles with the knees one way and then the other choreograph your own dance here be really mindful listen to your body keep it soft and easy and then together we'll meet in soup to baddha konasana so I like to offer suggestions and I really love it when you break the rules you know like oh I loved here oh I'm gonna stay there and meditate and pause the video now peace Adrian or we could stick together you know each day is different so maybe you're in swoop tabata Kinison with me reclined cobblers pose hands are gonna rest gently on the belly here and I'm just letting a little bit a little bit of gravity do the work here little Yin practice to finish today letting the soles of the feet kiss together you might pillow the head with a blanket or a towel I begin to soften the breath you can slide the legs out to shavasana here opening through the arms or I'm gonna stay here a little bit longer today relaxing the weight of my body completely and fully into the mat thank you for sharing your commitment to your practice with me I believe it truly is an awesome act of self-love so good work everyone tomorrow we turn 21 yay bringing it drunk and cat cow drunken love I'll see you then take good care of yourself namaste [Music]
