WEBVTT 00:00:00.634 --> 00:00:02.803 - Hey everyone, what's up and welcome to Yoga with Adriene. 00:00:02.803 --> 00:00:05.672 I'm Adriene and today we have a big request, 00:00:05.672 --> 00:00:07.040 this is yoga for climbers. 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.076 But also really great for anyone who's wanting 00:00:09.076 --> 00:00:12.045 to do a little ditty to cultivate more balance, 00:00:12.045 --> 00:00:15.816 coordination, flexibility, and stability. 00:00:15.816 --> 00:00:18.552 Hop into something comfy, and let's get started. 00:00:18.552 --> 00:00:22.456 (upbeat music) 00:00:31.665 --> 00:00:34.301 Alrighty my friends, let's begin standing today 00:00:34.301 --> 00:00:36.036 feet hip width apart. 00:00:37.804 --> 00:00:40.040 Take a nice deep breath in, 00:00:41.008 --> 00:00:42.843 and as you exhale, just let go of the day 00:00:42.843 --> 00:00:46.713 or the morning thus far, relax your shoulders. 00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:48.715 Let's really drop in to this time for yourself 00:00:48.715 --> 00:00:52.886 whether you're a climber, or a non-climber, 00:00:52.886 --> 00:00:55.789 let's use this time, really utilize this time 00:00:55.789 --> 00:00:59.059 to cultivate a little balance and to find what feels good. 00:00:59.059 --> 00:01:03.063 So deep breath in again, stand up nice and tall, 00:01:03.063 --> 00:01:06.400 and as you exhale just think of a release, a letting go. 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.769 He totally just sighed. 00:01:08.769 --> 00:01:10.704 Nice buddy, Benji's with us. 00:01:10.704 --> 00:01:11.638 Big inhale, 00:01:13.807 --> 00:01:14.741 and exhale. 00:01:16.410 --> 00:01:19.580 And one more time, big full breath in, 00:01:21.148 --> 00:01:22.849 and exhale, maybe relax your shoulders 00:01:22.849 --> 00:01:26.553 just in case they're creeping up towards your ears. 00:01:26.553 --> 00:01:27.487 Awesome, now to the neck. 00:01:27.487 --> 00:01:30.657 We're just gonna drop one ear over one shoulder. 00:01:30.657 --> 00:01:34.761 And feel a nice gentle release in the side of the neck. 00:01:34.761 --> 00:01:36.229 And then over to the other side. 00:01:36.229 --> 00:01:38.532 And then you're just gonna go back and forth on your own. 00:01:38.532 --> 00:01:40.167 And you can pause there and breathe, 00:01:40.167 --> 00:01:43.103 or you can keep the movement going. 00:01:43.971 --> 00:01:45.138 We're just kind of coming into the moment 00:01:45.138 --> 00:01:49.609 so that we can really maximize this time for ourself, 00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:51.845 but also create efficient movement. 00:01:51.845 --> 00:01:55.749 So, today's practice is about coordination, 00:01:55.749 --> 00:01:59.519 and it's about moving from your center, your core. 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.021 So if your mind is kind of distracted, 00:02:01.021 --> 00:02:04.825 you can start to just zero in on the sensation of the neck, 00:02:04.825 --> 00:02:08.595 the sound of your breath, maybe how you're 00:02:08.595 --> 00:02:12.558 distributing your weight in the feet. 00:02:13.734 --> 00:02:15.569 And then notice if you're kind of locking out the legs here, 00:02:15.569 --> 00:02:18.839 see if you can softly bend your knees. 00:02:18.839 --> 00:02:20.540 Alright, sweet, then bring the head back to center. 00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:22.709 We're just gonna nice and easy nod the head, 00:02:22.709 --> 00:02:24.911 drop the chin to the chest, 00:02:24.911 --> 00:02:28.081 and then look up towards the sky. 00:02:28.081 --> 00:02:30.183 And now notice if you've lost your 00:02:30.183 --> 00:02:33.053 nice, deep conscious breath. 00:02:33.053 --> 00:02:35.088 And the thing about climbing, and I won't pretend 00:02:35.088 --> 00:02:37.301 that I'm like some professional climber of course, 00:02:37.301 --> 00:02:40.794 but I did talk to some of my pals and do some research, 00:02:40.794 --> 00:02:43.463 and the thing about climbing that I was noticing is, 00:02:43.463 --> 00:02:47.634 the breath, a lot of times when we get into this focused 00:02:49.603 --> 00:02:53.440 scenario, or when we're trying to hold our balance, 00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.045 and we see this in yoga all the time, we hold our breath. 00:02:58.045 --> 00:03:00.814 Alright, bring the head back to center and here we go. 00:03:00.814 --> 00:03:02.949 We're gonna send the fingertips up towards the sky. 00:03:02.949 --> 00:03:07.054 Big inhale as you stretch, reach way up high, 00:03:07.054 --> 00:03:09.890 and then exhale to float it down, wiggle the fingertips, 00:03:09.890 --> 00:03:12.092 really open up through the pecs and the chest. 00:03:12.092 --> 00:03:13.794 So again, maximize this movement, 00:03:13.794 --> 00:03:15.028 see how efficient you can be. 00:03:15.028 --> 00:03:16.797 Instead of just inhaling while you reach up, 00:03:16.797 --> 00:03:19.433 exhale come down, because that's what we do in yoga, 00:03:19.433 --> 00:03:21.068 see if you can really get the most out of your movement, 00:03:21.068 --> 00:03:25.939 nice and in control, so big inhale, then reach for the sky, 00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:28.575 and exhale, opening through the chest, 00:03:28.575 --> 00:03:30.477 float the fingertips down. 00:03:30.477 --> 00:03:32.446 Now you know what you're doing, or somewhat, 00:03:32.446 --> 00:03:35.048 so you can take your eyes off the video, off me, 00:03:35.048 --> 00:03:37.851 and really start to maybe integrate the neck, 00:03:37.851 --> 00:03:41.455 so the nodding movement that we did, chin to chest, 00:03:41.455 --> 00:03:45.559 and then big inhale to look up towards the sky. 00:03:45.559 --> 00:03:48.595 And I start to really sync up with my breath here, 00:03:48.595 --> 00:03:52.599 find length through all four sides of the torso. 00:03:53.467 --> 00:03:55.669 See if you can distribute your weight evenly 00:03:55.669 --> 00:03:58.271 through the soles of your feet. 00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:03.977 (laughing) Benji, man. 00:04:03.977 --> 00:04:06.780 And let's do one more big full breath, 00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:11.284 inhale, why not, lots of love in, reach for the sky. 00:04:11.284 --> 00:04:15.288 And exhale, why not, exhale lots of love out. 00:04:15.288 --> 00:04:16.423 Bring it down, all right. 00:04:16.423 --> 00:04:20.427 Interlace the fingertips behind the back, sorry buddy. 00:04:20.427 --> 00:04:23.530 We're gonna interlace, draw the knuckles down and away. 00:04:23.530 --> 00:04:25.298 Title of my second book, I told you, 00:04:25.298 --> 00:04:26.633 one day I'm gonna write it. 00:04:26.633 --> 00:04:28.802 And lift the chest here. 00:04:28.802 --> 00:04:32.873 Now pause, see if you can lengthen your tailbone down 00:04:32.873 --> 00:04:36.243 and bring your belly button in, 00:04:36.243 --> 00:04:40.213 and then head over heart, heart over pelvis here. 00:04:40.213 --> 00:04:41.281 Breathe deep. 00:04:42.516 --> 00:04:43.950 If you're kind of craving a little more here, 00:04:43.950 --> 00:04:46.787 see if you can bring the palms together, really together. 00:04:46.787 --> 00:04:48.054 And if that's not happening for your body 00:04:48.054 --> 00:04:52.192 just breathe deep and let it unfold, don't force or press. 00:04:52.192 --> 00:04:57.402 So nice and open through the chest, pecs, collarbone, 00:04:57.402 --> 00:04:59.231 breathe deep. 00:05:01.668 --> 00:05:04.571 Fab, then bend the knees, generously inhale, 00:05:04.571 --> 00:05:06.473 smile a little bit, why not, life's too short, 00:05:06.473 --> 00:05:08.441 and then exhale, draw your navel in 00:05:08.441 --> 00:05:10.343 and we're gonna draw a big rainbow with the knuckles 00:05:10.343 --> 00:05:13.680 all the way up towards the ceiling or the sky 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.782 and then maybe over past the head. 00:05:15.782 --> 00:05:17.017 So this'll be different for everyone. 00:05:17.017 --> 00:05:21.154 You may get here, you might get belly towards the thighs. 00:05:22.155 --> 00:05:24.758 And then if you can, relax the weight of your head down 00:05:24.758 --> 00:05:26.826 and breathe a little deeper. 00:05:26.826 --> 00:05:30.463 We're here for five, inhale lots of love in, 00:05:31.464 --> 00:05:34.334 three, exhale lots of love out, and then here we go 00:05:34.334 --> 00:05:37.037 on the one, dig into the heels and you're gonna 00:05:37.037 --> 00:05:40.707 slowly roll it up, keep the fingers interlaced. 00:05:40.707 --> 00:05:43.043 Roll it up, press into your feet, 00:05:43.043 --> 00:05:45.512 and then break free the chains 00:05:45.512 --> 00:05:47.614 (exaggerating exhale) Mountain Pose. 00:05:47.614 --> 00:05:49.683 Now, stay present here, in control. 00:05:49.683 --> 00:05:53.102 Feel that sensation, that flush of 00:05:53.102 --> 00:05:56.587 fresh blood. 00:05:58.992 --> 00:05:59.826 Ah. 00:06:00.827 --> 00:06:03.129 Nice, and we'll take the fingertips forward, 00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:05.865 right arm over the left, just give yourself a big hug here. 00:06:05.865 --> 00:06:08.001 So your fingertips are gonna kind of come in 00:06:08.001 --> 00:06:09.369 towards the center of your back, 00:06:09.369 --> 00:06:14.179 and then you're gonna lift your elbows, inhale and exhale. 00:06:16.509 --> 00:06:19.546 Awesome, same thing, this time opposite thumb on top, 00:06:19.546 --> 00:06:22.449 so reach behind, opposite thumb comes on top 00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:25.585 as you interlace, knuckles draw down and away, 00:06:25.585 --> 00:06:27.754 so the shoulder blades come in towards each other 00:06:27.754 --> 00:06:31.424 and we stand up nice and tall, breathe. 00:06:31.424 --> 00:06:34.261 Maybe the palms come together. 00:06:34.261 --> 00:06:37.897 Lengthen tailbone down, so there's a gentle kind of 00:06:37.897 --> 00:06:40.066 lengthening of the tailbone down. 00:06:40.066 --> 00:06:41.434 You know, like this. 00:06:41.434 --> 00:06:43.536 I hate to say tuck of the pelvis because 00:06:43.536 --> 00:06:45.438 that's a little old school now, people, 00:06:45.438 --> 00:06:49.109 it creates compression so, just lengthen it down, 00:06:49.109 --> 00:06:50.777 just experiment, and then here we go, 00:06:50.777 --> 00:06:53.413 same thing when you're ready, bend the knees 00:06:53.413 --> 00:06:56.082 and we start to take it forward. 00:06:56.983 --> 00:07:00.587 So keep reaching the knuckles way up high towards the sky, 00:07:00.587 --> 00:07:03.556 and then check out how it is for your body today. 00:07:03.556 --> 00:07:06.293 Every time you come to practice on the mat 00:07:06.293 --> 00:07:08.995 stay present in the existing narrative. 00:07:08.995 --> 00:07:12.332 So your hamstrings some days, well every day, 00:07:12.332 --> 00:07:14.668 hamstrings are the exception, they're always tight. 00:07:14.668 --> 00:07:17.704 Relax the weight of the head over, breathe deep. 00:07:17.704 --> 00:07:19.706 But really be present in the sensation of your body. 00:07:19.706 --> 00:07:21.641 Maybe it's different because of a workout, 00:07:21.641 --> 00:07:23.877 because of travel, because of something emotional, 00:07:23.877 --> 00:07:25.779 because of something you ate. 00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:27.914 So it's worth it to really make the practice 00:07:27.914 --> 00:07:31.318 about being present rather than 00:07:31.318 --> 00:07:34.621 what you think you know about your body. 00:07:36.122 --> 00:07:40.627 Dig into the heels, we're here for five, breathe deep, 00:07:40.627 --> 00:07:42.262 four, 00:07:42.262 --> 00:07:43.563 three, 00:07:43.563 --> 00:07:45.465 two, stick with me, nice and in control, 00:07:45.465 --> 00:07:46.733 that's the name of the game today. 00:07:46.733 --> 00:07:48.468 Press into the heels, engage the inner thighs 00:07:48.468 --> 00:07:49.736 as you roll up. 00:07:50.804 --> 00:07:52.639 And if you're shaking or a little trembly here, 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.708 that's the ticket. 00:07:54.708 --> 00:07:57.010 Sometimes it's not what we do but how we do it, 00:07:57.010 --> 00:07:59.379 the way in which we do it, here we go, 00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:02.682 break free the chains (exaggerating exhale). 00:08:02.682 --> 00:08:07.387 Mountain Pose, go ahead and open the palms forward. 00:08:07.387 --> 00:08:08.955 Creaky floor. 00:08:08.955 --> 00:08:11.024 And then lift up from the armpit chest. 00:08:11.024 --> 00:08:14.661 And if you need a little movement, 00:08:14.661 --> 00:08:16.329 rotation in the wrists or anything here, 00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:19.366 of course feel free to take it. 00:08:19.366 --> 00:08:20.700 (sighing) 00:08:20.700 --> 00:08:22.702 Awesome, let's bring the hands together at the heart. 00:08:22.702 --> 00:08:26.873 You're gonna actively press the palms together here. 00:08:31.754 --> 00:08:33.380 Beautiful, and then send the fingertips forward, 00:08:33.380 --> 00:08:36.448 this time left arm over, just give yourself a big hug. 00:08:36.448 --> 00:08:38.918 You're gonna try to inch the fingers behind 00:08:38.918 --> 00:08:40.587 the center of your back one more time 00:08:40.587 --> 00:08:42.822 and inhale, lift the elbow, 00:08:44.591 --> 00:08:46.292 and then exhale let it all go, awesome. 00:08:46.292 --> 00:08:48.461 Inhale, reach for the sky. 00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:54.901 And then all the way down on an exhale, Forward Fold. 00:08:56.102 --> 00:08:56.936 Awesome work. 00:08:56.936 --> 00:09:01.174 Inhale halfway lift, nice flat back position. 00:09:01.174 --> 00:09:04.411 Exhale fold all the way down. 00:09:04.411 --> 00:09:06.379 Inhale to reach for the sky, you got this, 00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:09.182 big stretch, big breath. 00:09:09.182 --> 00:09:13.920 And exhale hands to heart, lengthen tailbone down. 00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:16.389 So start to tap into a longer, smoother breath. 00:09:16.389 --> 00:09:17.524 So if you're new to the practice 00:09:17.524 --> 00:09:20.026 or if it seems really arduous, no problem 00:09:20.026 --> 00:09:22.095 just keep returning to the sound of your breath 00:09:22.095 --> 00:09:24.064 and see if you can really kind of keep that 00:09:24.064 --> 00:09:28.134 as your number one goal, your number one, 00:09:28.134 --> 00:09:31.070 not goal but focus, that's nicer. 00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:32.906 Okay, we're gonna shift our weight to the left foot. 00:09:32.906 --> 00:09:34.908 We're gonna grab the right ankle, 00:09:34.908 --> 00:09:36.509

00:19:48.087 --> 00:19:52.158 Take a second to find that deep conscious breath. 00:19:53.492 --> 00:19:55.394 Awesome, then we're gonna walk the left fingertips 00:19:55.394 --> 00:19:59.071 in towards your left big toe. 00:19:59.071 --> 00:20:00.700 And then take your time. 00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:02.334 Gaining a little coordination sometimes 00:20:02.334 --> 00:20:04.770 if this is new stuff for you, new material, 00:20:04.770 --> 00:20:07.606 new vocabulary that is, it takes some time 00:20:07.606 --> 00:20:09.175 so just move nice and slow. 00:20:09.175 --> 00:20:10.242 You're gonna take the right toes 00:20:10.242 --> 00:20:12.344 over towards the left side of the mat. 00:20:12.344 --> 00:20:15.481 This is still part of your foundation. 00:20:15.481 --> 00:20:18.317 Then lengthen tailbone down and in. 00:20:18.317 --> 00:20:20.152 Activate the upper back body. 00:20:20.152 --> 00:20:24.957 And when you're ready, open right fingertips to the sky. 00:20:24.957 --> 00:20:27.526 Find that expansion, breathe. 00:20:27.526 --> 00:20:30.029 Lift the tailbone, the coccyx is kind of coming out. 00:20:30.029 --> 00:20:32.631 See if you can hug it in, breathing deep. 00:20:32.631 --> 00:20:35.634 And if you need some space, just come on to the top 00:20:35.634 --> 00:20:38.370 of that left thigh with your left elbow. 00:20:38.370 --> 00:20:42.152 Inhale and exhale. 00:20:42.152 --> 00:20:44.210 Draw the shoulder blades together. 00:20:44.210 --> 00:20:45.945 One more breath as you inhale. 00:20:45.945 --> 00:20:47.413 Maybe wiggle the right fingertips, 00:20:47.413 --> 00:20:50.182 lengthen through the crown. 00:20:50.182 --> 00:20:52.818 And exhale to bring everything back, awesome. 00:20:52.818 --> 00:20:55.254 Frame the left foot, bring the right toes back. 00:20:55.254 --> 00:20:58.224 Here we go, pulling back through the left hip crease. 00:20:58.224 --> 00:21:00.326 So keep that bend in the left knee. 00:21:00.326 --> 00:21:04.396 This helps us really stretch the meat, the middle, 00:21:04.396 --> 00:21:08.801 the belly of that hamstring and not just where they attach. 00:21:08.801 --> 00:21:13.205 Which is awesome, for everyone, not just climbers. 00:21:13.205 --> 00:21:17.878 (exhaling) My precious. 00:21:20.212 --> 00:21:21.678 My precious. 00:21:23.415 --> 00:21:24.450 Okay, dig into your left foot, 00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:26.519 let's find a little articulation. 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.387 Pay attention to the nuance of every move. 00:21:28.387 --> 00:21:29.488 So important for climbers. 00:21:29.488 --> 00:21:31.056 So same thing here, don't just shift forward 00:21:31.056 --> 00:21:35.828 but really dig into that foot, find the grammar of the foot, 00:21:35.828 --> 00:21:37.329 as they say. 00:21:37.329 --> 00:21:38.831 And then we'll plant the palms. 00:21:38.831 --> 00:21:41.167 And one last time, we got this, here we go. 00:21:41.167 --> 00:21:42.067 Plank Pose. 00:21:43.669 --> 00:21:46.071 Breathe deep, so really important, 00:21:46.071 --> 00:21:47.873 if the shoulder blades are collapsing here, 00:21:47.873 --> 00:21:48.974 claw through the fingertips 00:21:48.974 --> 00:21:51.677 and dome up through the upper back body. 00:21:51.677 --> 00:21:53.445 Think about your shoulder blades going left and right. 00:21:53.445 --> 00:21:55.314 You can even overdo it a little bit today 00:21:55.314 --> 00:21:57.817 to really find that sensation. 00:21:58.817 --> 00:22:00.586 Awesome, beautiful. 00:22:00.586 --> 00:22:04.823 We're gonna slowly now shift to the knees, nice and slow. 00:22:04.823 --> 00:22:05.825 We're gonna take the right hand 00:22:05.825 --> 00:22:08.561 and bring it right to the center of the mat. 00:22:08.561 --> 00:22:11.230 And then nice and slow we're gonna turn the right toes out 00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:13.632 and we're gonna open up to a little gate variation here. 00:22:13.632 --> 00:22:16.335 So you'll open up kind of the way we did 00:22:16.335 --> 00:22:19.038 in that half Extended Side Angle 00:22:19.038 --> 00:22:22.508 and send the left fingertips towards the sky. 00:22:22.508 --> 00:22:27.107 So we're doing a modified Half Moon today. 00:22:28.781 --> 00:22:30.916 Stacking the shoulders. 00:22:30.916 --> 00:22:32.685 And so the way that we'll activate the modified 00:22:32.685 --> 00:22:35.054 Half Moon is by bringing the upper abdominals 00:22:35.054 --> 00:22:37.656 and lower belly together. 00:22:37.656 --> 00:22:39.592 And then engaging the left inner thigh 00:22:39.592 --> 00:22:41.727 and lifting the left foot up. 00:22:41.727 --> 00:22:43.329 See if you can keep your left toes turned in 00:22:43.329 --> 00:22:44.730 as opposed to out. 00:22:44.730 --> 00:22:47.967 And we're breathing deep here. (exhaling) 00:22:47.967 --> 00:22:50.502 Notice I'm keeping the extension of my neck, 00:22:50.502 --> 00:22:51.937 so nice and long. 00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:57.509 And maybe I turn up to look up towards my left fingertips. 00:22:58.544 --> 00:23:01.647 And I wiggle the left fingertips and then slow 00:23:01.647 --> 00:23:05.784 and with control, bring the left foot down, right hand down. 00:23:05.784 --> 00:23:09.521 And come back to all fours, Tabletop Position. 00:23:09.521 --> 00:23:12.057 Beautiful, other side, left hand comes to the center. 00:23:12.057 --> 00:23:14.159 Take your time, press away from your yoga mat, 00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:16.195 claw through your fingertips so you're not putting 00:23:16.195 --> 00:23:19.565 a bunch of pressure in your wrists. 00:23:19.565 --> 00:23:21.800 Sweet, then we're gonna take the left toes out 00:23:21.800 --> 00:23:23.435 and here we go, keep breathing here 00:23:23.435 --> 00:23:26.505 as you move into this gate variation. 00:23:26.505 --> 00:23:30.042 So we open up and the right foot really roots down 00:23:30.042 --> 00:23:32.678 to start here just so you can build your foundation. 00:23:32.678 --> 00:23:34.346 And then I reach up. 00:23:36.181 --> 00:23:38.317 And then maybe my whole body's lit up here 00:23:38.317 --> 00:23:40.586 and I'm breathing, I'm lengthening my tailbone 00:23:40.586 --> 00:23:41.920 towards my right heel. 00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.456 I'm feeling awesome, so I just stay here. 00:23:44.456 --> 00:23:46.392 Or I try that modified Half Moon 00:23:46.392 --> 00:23:49.628 by engaging my core and the right inner thigh, 00:23:49.628 --> 00:23:50.929 pressing into my foundation 00:23:50.929 --> 00:23:53.365 and lifting that right leg up high. 00:23:53.365 --> 00:23:54.600 Gonna turn on that outer hip here. 00:23:54.600 --> 00:23:57.202 Breathe, breathe, breathe. 00:23:57.202 --> 00:23:59.071 Remember the neck is an extension of the spine 00:23:59.071 --> 00:24:03.042 so equidistant between each earlobe and shoulder. 00:24:03.042 --> 00:24:04.443 Breathe, wiggle the right fingertips, 00:24:04.443 --> 00:24:06.712 maybe lift your right leg a little higher. 00:24:06.712 --> 00:24:10.949 And then soften with control, bring everything down. 00:24:10.949 --> 00:24:13.786 Come back to that Tabletop Position. 00:24:13.786 --> 00:24:16.288 Awesome, inhale, look forward. 00:24:17.256 --> 00:24:19.491 And exhale, Child's Pose. 00:24:19.491 --> 00:24:22.695 Awesome, bring the knees wide, big toes to touch 00:24:22.695 --> 00:24:24.430 or toes come in towards the center 00:24:24.430 --> 00:24:28.567 and just melt your heart here, melt your forehead. 00:24:30.336 --> 00:24:31.816 Inhale deeply. 00:24:34.573 --> 00:24:36.975 And exhale and everything go. 00:24:39.978 --> 00:24:41.780 So keep the lower body where it is, 00:24:41.780 --> 00:24:44.249 we're just gonna lift the chest. 00:24:44.249 --> 00:24:47.286 You wanna slide the right hand underneath 00:24:47.286 --> 00:24:49.221 and thread the needle. 00:24:49.221 --> 00:24:51.357 So right fingertips come in and underneath 00:24:51.357 --> 00:24:53.025 the bridge of your left arm. 00:24:53.025 --> 00:24:55.060 You're just gonna turn, you can lift the hips up high 00:24:55.060 --> 00:24:57.062 to get a deeper stretch. 00:24:58.297 --> 00:24:59.932 And if you need a little more you can create 00:24:59.932 --> 00:25:03.235 a little resistance by bending your left elbow. 00:25:03.235 --> 00:25:04.069 Oh yeah. 00:25:06.071 --> 00:25:06.905 Oh yeah. 00:25:09.108 --> 00:25:12.044 (breathing

bum really lifts up so you can get a deeper stretch 00:25:24.356 --> 00:25:27.426 here and create more flexibility. 00:25:27.426 --> 00:25:28.660 And if you're craving a little more 00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:31.797 you can use that right hand to press the right elbow up. 00:25:31.797 --> 00:25:34.960 See if you can keep (mumbles) 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.780 consciousness in the feet. 00:25:42.074

--> 00:26:38.965 Right, drop the pose 00:26:38.965 --> 00:26:40.365 and then find the sensation 00:26:40.365 --> 00:26:42.701 that feels really awesome, feels really good for you. 00:26:42.701 --> 00:26:44.603 So bow your head down. 00:26:44.603 --> 00:26:46.872 If you are working on straightening legs, awesome, 00:26:46.872 --> 00:26:48.607 you do that, if you're here and this is like
