- What's up, everyone?

Welcome to Yoga with Adriene.

I'm Adriene and this is Benji.

And it's a beautiful day
in the neighborhood and...

What?

Oh.

This?

This is my red nose,

because we are celebrating 
Red Nose Day.

Thank you for celebrating
Red Nose Day with me.

Red Nose Day is a charity event

that encourages people to be silly,

to have fun, to laugh,

and most importantly, to
raise money for kids in need.

Pretty cool, right?

So, we've got our 
Red Nose Day flair.

I encourage you to go get your
red nose or your red flair,

only at Walgreens.

Big thanks to 
Walgreens for supporting

and working with me on this video.

You ready to go 
to the park, buddy?

Let's go!

(upbeat music)

Hey buddy, want to put 
this red nose on?

I'll take that as a no.

Maybe later.

Maybe later!

No problem.

So, we're out here in
Zilker Park, Austin, Texas.

This park is special to me

because I've been coming
here since I was a kid.

It's pretty beautiful.

It's kind of right here
in the heart of the city.

This field, actually, is where they have

the big Austin City 
Limits Music Festival.

So, many years out here dancing

and having awesome experiences,

with music and people from all over.

Really cool.

Across the way, we'll head over there,

but I've had birthday parties
over there as a kiddo.

Been going to the Barton
Springs my whole life,

every stage of life.

So, it's a special, magical place here.

It's always nice, always a
really nice place to come

and just get away from
the hustle and bustle.

Benji really likes it,

because there's so many
other cool dogs here.

And yeah, it's really awesome.

(upbeat music)

So, one of the awesome things

about celebrating Red Nose Day,

just the little added perk, 
in my opinion,

is that just by wearing red,

we balance out the root chakra.

So, each chakra, 
there's seven of them,

these seven energy 
centers of the body.

Each chakra has a color
associated with it,

and just by wearing red,
as we already are doing,

wearing our red flair 
for Red Nose Day,

we are balancing out that chakra.

And that root chakra is right
at the base of the spine,

and it's awesome, because
that is the one that's kind of

connected to the earth
and it's about security.

And when we tend to that chakra,

and balance it and 
find harmony there,

we are just preparing ourselves

to be able to move up
through the energy centers

and serve others and open our hearts.

So, in every day terms, 
by taking care of yourself,

you make yourself more
available and ready and healthy

to take care of others, to serve others,

to raise money for kids in need,

to do something nice 
for your neighbor,

or just do something 
nice for a loved one.

But it really starts with
taking care of yourself.

So, just by wearing red too,
you're taking care of yourself,

balancing out that root chakra.

Which I find really awesome
and just kind of cool.

Another odd thing 
though that I realized,

is that the sense organ that's
associated with that chakra,

the root chakra which 
is the color red,

is the nose!

(upbeat music)

So, if that isn't synergy,
I don't know what is.

There are yoga poses you can do

to balance out the 
root chakra as well.

Yoga poses you can 
do are really things

that connect you to the earth.

Things that ground you.

So, Mountain Pose is an easy one

you can do anywhere, anytime.

Standing in line to buy
your Red Nose Day flair!

No, standing in line anywhere.

Even in your kitchen,
just grounding your feet,

and standing up nice and
tall, and breathing deep.

Getting down low, yogic
squat's always nice.

And then really, my method
is that there are no rules.

When you really listen 
to your body

and try to find what feels good,

your body will 
tell you what to do.

Be safe, be mindful,

but if you want to go up in
a handstand, give it a try!

Connect your hands to the earth.

Make your hands your feet.

If you want to just lay in Savasana

for five long deep breaths
and just give thanks.

Blanket yourself in
nice red light special.

Hey-oh!

Then that'll work too.

But there are lots of 
things we can do,

just without any tools,

just our bodies, and our
breath, and our mind,

that help balance out the
energy systems of the body.

Which again, the more
were tending to ourselves,

the more likely we're available

and awesome and 
ready to help others.

And save the children

and conquer the world 
with greatness!

Alright, you ready to 
go play some more?

(upbeat music)

Alright my friends, thanks
so much for watching.

We've had an awesome 
day in the park.

We've got to do a little
yoga, play some ball,

connect to the earth,
meet some new friends.

But most importantly, help others,

by sporting our red noses
and our Red Nose Day flair.

So, go get your red
nose, only at Walgreens,

and thank you so much to
Walgreens for supporting me

and working with me on this video,

so that we can spread love and light

and continue to 
find what feels good.

Alright, signing off.

Say bye, Benji.

Take good care, everyone.

Be sure to post a picture
of you in your red flair,

maybe include 
your four-legged friend,

and share it with me.

We'll see you next time.

Namaste.
