WEBVTT

00:00:00.701 --> 00:00:02.969
- Hi everyone. 
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

00:00:02.969 --> 00:00:05.763
I'm Adriene and this is Benji

00:00:05.763 --> 00:00:09.510
and today we have 
yoga for suffering.

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:13.053
So hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

00:00:13.717 --> 00:00:18.318
(upbeat music)

00:00:26.526 --> 00:00:29.963
Okay my friends, welcome.

00:00:29.963 --> 00:00:34.067
Let's start low 
down on the ground.

00:00:34.067 --> 00:00:38.972
Come on down and find 
Extended Child's Pose.

00:00:38.972 --> 00:00:43.143
And if this shape, if you
already know this shape isn't

00:00:43.143 --> 00:00:45.816
right for your body,
then choose a nice,

00:00:45.816 --> 00:00:49.286
easy posture that you can 
start to tune into your breath

00:00:49.286 --> 00:00:53.720
and really land with. Alright?

00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:55.055
If it is alright in your body,

00:00:55.055 --> 00:00:57.440
go ahead and 
bring the knees wide

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:59.960
(country twang) and just 
melt your whole front side down

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.963
to the ground and 
reach your fingers out way,

00:01:02.963 --> 00:01:04.669
I'm not gonna talk like 
that the whole practice,

00:01:04.669 --> 00:01:05.781
don't worry. (chuckles)

00:01:05.781 --> 00:01:08.454
Reach your fingertips way out.

00:01:09.844 --> 00:01:14.051
And let's begin this 
thing with a surrender.

00:01:16.476 --> 00:01:21.014
So forehead comes to 
the earth, heart melts

00:01:21.014 --> 00:01:22.883
and take a deep breath 
in wherever you are.

00:01:24.763 --> 00:01:27.254
And as you exhale, 
breathe out through your mouth.

00:01:29.343 --> 00:01:30.590
And let's try that again.

00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:31.675
Big inhale.

00:01:34.826 --> 00:01:39.127
And as you exhale, breathe
out through your mouth and just

00:01:39.127 --> 00:01:42.302
start to gently 
deepen your breath

00:01:42.302 --> 00:01:44.504
as you land here in the moment.

00:01:47.207 --> 00:01:49.743
Let this moment 
of conscious breath,

00:01:49.743 --> 00:01:53.780
this surrender, catch you.

00:02:02.322 --> 00:02:07.327
And try not to worry too much
about the outcome of this

00:02:08.935 --> 00:02:12.132
gentle and swift 
loving quick practice.

00:02:13.386 --> 00:02:15.769
Try not to worry too much about
the outcome and instead just

00:02:15.769 --> 00:02:18.639
allow yourself to really be
present in the moment and let

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.376
the magic of yoga 
and it's healing tools,

00:02:22.376 --> 00:02:25.051
let it just catch you 
wherever you're landing today.

00:02:29.716 --> 00:02:31.184
As you're ready, gently begin to

00:02:31.184 --> 00:02:33.330
rock the forehead 
a little side to side.

00:02:34.364 --> 00:02:36.957
And if you're in a seated,
comfortable posture of your

00:02:36.957 --> 00:02:40.043
choice, you can just 
start to slowly move

00:02:40.043 --> 00:02:42.149
the head around nice and easy.

00:02:45.565 --> 00:02:50.103
Let this gentle rocking 
movement soften the jaw.

00:02:51.779 --> 00:02:53.652
Let it effect your jaw.

00:02:53.652 --> 00:02:56.898
Let it effect everything.

00:02:59.079 --> 00:03:01.455
One loving gesture

00:03:02.454 --> 00:03:05.018
bleeding into the next here.

00:03:07.685 --> 00:03:09.723
Right? One thing at a time.

00:03:09.723 --> 00:03:12.851
One day at a time.
Bring it back to center.

00:03:12.851 --> 00:03:14.227
Claw through the fingertips.

00:03:14.227 --> 00:03:17.631
Inhale to slowly come up.

00:03:17.631 --> 00:03:20.700
Walk the knees 
underneath the hip points.

00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:24.104
Walk the hands right 
underneath the shoulders.

00:03:24.104 --> 00:03:25.822
Wrists right 
underneath the shoulders.

00:03:28.833 --> 00:03:32.783
So we're gonna start not 
by moving through vinyasa

00:03:32.783 --> 00:03:35.182
but by holding the Cat shape.

00:03:35.182 --> 00:03:38.251
So claw through the fingertips
and start to lengthen the

00:03:38.251 --> 00:03:40.020
tailbone down and
lift your heart up.

00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:41.922
Peek at me if you need to.

00:03:41.922 --> 00:03:44.157
You'll drop the 
crown towards the earth.

00:03:44.157 --> 00:03:47.861
You can even shake the head a
little yes and a little no.

00:03:47.861 --> 00:03:52.032
And what I'm trying to encourage
us to do is find a little

00:03:52.032 --> 00:03:55.035
contraction up 
through the front body.

00:03:55.035 --> 00:03:59.306
So the navel is drawing up, up,
up and then your heart space,

00:03:59.306 --> 00:04:04.628
your figurative heart 
space is lifting up as well.

00:04:07.151 --> 00:04:10.250
And then same thing, one present
moment leads into the next here

00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:13.286
so one action 
actually bleeds into

00:04:13.286 --> 00:04:16.822
or informs the next action here.

00:04:16.822 --> 00:04:19.732
We'll bring your 
breath back into the picture.

00:04:20.827 --> 00:04:23.763
Keep lifting, lifting, 
lifting your heart space up.

00:04:23.763 --> 00:04:26.099
Press into your hands.

00:04:26.099 --> 00:04:29.336
Press away from your yoga mat
with your feet and your hands so

00:04:29.336 --> 00:04:31.567
you're pressing up off the mat.

00:04:34.174 --> 00:04:36.309
Great, let the 
head be heavy here.

00:04:38.067 --> 00:04:39.685
Breathing deep.

00:04:42.349 --> 00:04:45.685
Excellent, and then slow 
and with control unravel,

00:04:45.685 --> 00:04:47.440
uncoil the spine and come

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:51.588
to a nice neutral position. 
Awesome.

00:04:51.588 --> 00:04:55.128
From here drop your elbows
right where your hands were.

00:04:55.128 --> 00:04:57.597
And you can interlace the
fingertips here if you like or

00:04:57.597 --> 00:05:00.333
you can keep palms 
pressing down to the earth.

00:05:00.333 --> 00:05:02.435
Yogi's choice.

00:05:02.435 --> 00:05:05.272
Then peek at me here, notice how
my shoulders are shrugging up

00:05:05.272 --> 00:05:07.073
towards my earlobes here.

00:05:07.073 --> 00:05:08.341
We want to counteract that.

00:05:08.341 --> 00:05:11.756
Create a little more 
space by rotating them

00:05:12.546 --> 00:05:14.080
down and away from the ears.

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:18.216
Shoulder blades moving down the
back body here to create space.

00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:21.588
Great, then send your gaze down,

00:05:21.588 --> 00:05:23.987
straight down so your 
neck is nice and long.

00:05:23.987 --> 00:05:26.112
Press into the top 
of your left foot

00:05:26.112 --> 00:05:28.695
and slowly kick 
your right toes out.

00:05:28.695 --> 00:05:31.597
You can keep your right 
toes on the ground here.

00:05:31.597 --> 00:05:34.834
And you're just gonna 
shift back and forth here.

00:05:34.834 --> 00:05:36.803
Finding that 
connection to your core,

00:05:36.803 --> 00:05:39.539
to your center as 
you breathe deep.

00:05:39.539 --> 00:05:44.010
And I don't know, maybe you're
here for preventative care but

00:05:44.010 --> 00:05:46.813
if this practice is really
catching you in a tough moment

00:05:46.813 --> 00:05:51.251
today and you need to 
really just feel it out,

00:05:51.251 --> 00:05:55.422
let your tears 
drop down, my friend,

00:05:55.422 --> 00:05:58.091
and just try to stay present
with your breath and let the

00:05:58.091 --> 00:05:59.993
sound of my 
voice gently guide you.

00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.451
I got your back.

00:06:05.298 --> 00:06:06.666
Rock a couple more times and

00:06:06.666 --> 00:06:08.868
try to really press into 
your pinky toe here.

00:06:08.868 --> 00:06:12.947
Try to maintain that straight
line from the crown to the tail

00:06:12.947 --> 00:06:15.386
or that feeling 
rather of the straight line.

00:06:15.386 --> 00:06:17.634
So the neck isn't collapsed.

00:06:20.357 --> 00:06:22.844
Great and then 
come to stillness.

00:06:22.844 --> 00:06:25.862
Press into the top of 
your left foot for stability.

00:06:25.862 --> 00:06:28.296
Hug the low ribs in 
to connect to your core.

00:06:28.296 --> 00:06:31.491
A little bit of action, 
a lot of activity going on here.

00:06:31.491 --> 00:06:32.759
You got this.

00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.228
You're gonna slowly 
lift the right heel up.

00:06:35.228 --> 00:06:37.664
Keep the right 
toes all dialed down.

00:06:37.664 --> 00:06:38.999
Lift from your right inner thigh

00:06:38.999 --> 00:06:42.202
as we start to strengthen
the whole body.

00:06:42.202 --> 00:06:45.405
So the body is kind of going
into a tiny bit of chaos here

00:06:45.405 --> 00:06:49.743
but we're keeping soft 
in the skin of the face.

00:06:49.743 --> 00:06:53.013
In control, finding the grace
between the shoulders and the

00:06:53.013 --> 00:06:55.487
space between the ears 
and the shoulders

00:06:55.487 --> 00:06:57.751
and we're still breathing.

00:06:57.751 --> 00:07:00.420
We got our breath.

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:05.692
We're here for three, two, on
the one slowly bring it back.

00:07:05.692 --> 00:07:08.561
If the fingertips are
interlaced, unravel them.

00:07:08.561 --> 00:07:09.796
Palms kiss the earth.

00:07:09.796 --> 00:07:13.333
This kind of loving kiss 
of the palm to the earth.

00:07:13.333 --> 00:07:17.170
Little respect for Mama Earth
and then from here walk your

00:07:17.170 --> 00:07:19.172
knees back one by one.

00:07:19.172 --> 00:07:21.741
Keep your elbows and 
wrists where they are.

00:07:21.741 --> 00:07:23.076
Wrists are 
gonna want to come in.

00:07:23.076 --> 00:07:24.244
I see it all the time.

00:07:24.244 --> 00:07:27.147
So try to keep them 
like two railroad tracks.

00:07:27.147 --> 00:07:31.184
The forearms parallel and then
we'll come into a Puppy Posture.

00:07:31.184 --> 00:07:33.753
Another surrender, 
melting the heart to the earth.

00:07:33.753 --> 00:07:37.617
Big, big, big stretch

00:07:37.617 --> 00:07:39.959
in the shoulders,

00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.698
the chest, the front 
body nice and long here

00:07:44.698 --> 00:07:46.566
as you breathe deep.

00:07:46.566 --> 00:07:51.137
Rocking the pelvis so that your
coccyx or your tail is reaching

00:07:51.137 --> 00:07:53.139
up towards the sky.

00:07:54.441 --> 00:07:57.510
Lots of mindfulness in the
hands here as you breathe deep.

00:08:03.045 --> 00:08:05.218
And then draw your 
navel up towards your spine.

00:08:05.218 --> 00:08:08.955
Move from center as you 
walk back up to all fours.

00:08:08.955 --> 00:08:10.357
Elbows can stay on the ground,

00:08:10.357 --> 00:08:12.859
knees walk in right
underneath the hips.

00:08:12.859 --> 00:08:15.486
Option to interlace the
fingertips here again

00:08:15.486 --> 00:08:18.971
and if you do, 
see if you can maybe bring

00:08:18.974 --> 00:08:21.501
the opposite one on 
top that you did before.

00:08:22.587 --> 00:08:26.673
Just kind of gaining control
back of our mind, our brain.

00:08:27.941 --> 00:08:30.176
Lovingly through asana,

00:08:30.176 --> 00:08:33.947
through breath, pranayama,
through the practice.

00:08:33.947 --> 00:08:35.048
Okay, here we go.

00:08:35.048 --> 00:08:37.817
Curl the left toes 
under when you're ready.

00:08:37.817 --> 00:08:39.785
Find that connection 
to your center

00:08:39.785 --> 00:08:42.923
and send your left leg out long.

00:08:42.923 --> 00:08:43.923
You're doin' great.

00:08:43.923 --> 00:08:46.493
Hug the front body up to meet
the back body and what that

00:08:46.493 --> 00:08:51.264
means is I'm actively drawing
the muscles of my abdominal wall

00:08:51.264 --> 00:08:53.611
up and in and that affects

00:08:53.611 --> 00:08:56.870
the alignment of my bones.

00:08:58.831 --> 00:09:01.674
And the metaphor is 
you start to find strength

00:09:01.674 --> 00:09:03.770
and support from within.

00:09:04.534 --> 00:09:08.118
And it's real.
Take it from me.

00:09:08.118 --> 00:09:11.551
Start to rock front to back if
you are not already stretching

00:09:11.551 --> 00:09:15.055
through the fascia of 
the foot on the left side.

00:09:15.055 --> 00:09:17.857
And maybe you started this
practice feeling like you're

00:09:17.857 --> 00:09:20.460
just broken into a million
pieces and here we start

00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:23.680
to use this design,

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:26.666
this practice to recognize

00:09:26.666 --> 00:09:30.303
that we are whole again.

00:09:30.303 --> 00:09:31.471
One moving part.

00:09:33.952 --> 00:09:37.143
And if you are emotional today,
again, it's okay.

00:09:37.143 --> 00:09:39.345
We're here to 
pick up the pieces.

00:09:39.345 --> 00:09:41.681
Feel our way through the 
practice so it's all good.

00:09:41.681 --> 00:09:43.251
Breathe deep.

00:09:44.751 --> 00:09:46.352
Building strength in the arms.

00:09:46.352 --> 00:09:48.354
Building strength 
in the shoulders.

00:09:48.354 --> 00:09:50.056
Keeping the neck nice and long.

00:09:51.363 --> 00:09:55.258
And then when you're ready,
bring it back to stillness.

00:09:56.229 --> 00:09:59.065
And with control,
slowly levitate,

00:09:59.065 --> 00:10:01.306
lift that left foot up.

00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:07.574
Imagine lifting from 
your left inner thigh.

00:10:07.574 --> 00:10:11.010
Spiral the left pinky 
toe down to the earth.

00:10:11.010 --> 00:10:14.380
Feeling that snugly 
sensation in your left hip.

00:10:14.380 --> 00:10:15.849
Keep the neck nice and long.

00:10:17.316 --> 00:10:19.417
Breathing deep here.

00:10:27.227 --> 00:10:30.563
Slowly waking up the 
muscles of the left leg.

00:10:31.395 --> 00:10:33.753
The muscles of the glutes.

00:10:33.753 --> 00:10:37.137
But incorporating 
your core strength.

00:10:37.137 --> 00:10:39.105
Finding that connection.

00:10:39.105 --> 00:10:41.107
Recruiting your center.

00:10:43.209 --> 00:10:44.444
Great, take one more breath.

00:10:44.444 --> 00:10:46.271
You're doing awesome.
Welcome that heat.

00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:53.152
And then exhale, 
slowly bring it back down.

00:10:53.152 --> 00:10:56.789
Knees walk underneath the hips
and we're gonna slowly pop up to

00:10:56.789 --> 00:10:59.382
the hands here, 
spreading the fingertips wide.

00:10:59.382 --> 00:11:01.528
All fours.

00:11:01.528 --> 00:11:03.830
Alright, now 
we'll drop the belly,

00:11:03.830 --> 00:11:05.565
open the chest.

00:11:05.565 --> 00:11:07.700
Elbow creases and biceps really

00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:10.837
spiral towards 
the front of your mat.

00:11:13.239 --> 00:11:15.441
Belly gets nice and long here.

00:11:15.441 --> 00:11:17.546
We press into 
the tops of the feet.

00:11:17.546 --> 00:11:20.413
And then you can just start to
draw a line with the nose one

00:11:20.413 --> 00:11:22.382
way and then the other.

00:11:22.382 --> 00:11:26.119
Creating a stretch in 
the front side of the neck.

00:11:26.119 --> 00:11:27.747
Clawing through the fingertips.

00:11:29.303 --> 00:11:30.608
And then bring the head,

00:11:30.608 --> 00:11:33.593
the gaze straight 
back to center and

00:11:33.593 --> 00:11:36.429
try to slowly lengthen 
through the crown by

00:11:36.429 --> 00:11:38.431
tucking the chin just a hair.

00:11:40.333 --> 00:11:43.736
Then, I love you so much,
let's pay attention.

00:11:43.736 --> 00:11:46.214
Really pay attention. Let's
take good care of our bodies.

00:11:46.214 --> 00:11:51.144
Notice if you're collapsing here
or if you can in this shape,

00:11:51.144 --> 00:11:54.647
Cow Pose, see if you can really
press away from your yoga mat.

00:11:56.983 --> 00:11:58.384
Create space.

00:11:58.384 --> 00:12:00.320
Find that inner support.

00:12:02.755 --> 00:12:03.590
One more breath here.

00:12:03.590 --> 00:12:04.991
You're doing great.

00:12:04.991 --> 00:12:08.595
For this last breath cycle,
see if you can really press into

00:12:08.595 --> 00:12:10.597
your index finger and thumb.

00:12:13.933 --> 00:12:18.605
Awesome and then slowly we'll
bring it back to neutral spine,

00:12:18.605 --> 00:12:20.206
back to center.

00:12:20.206 --> 00:12:23.689
Rotate one wrist and 
then the other if you need to.

00:12:25.411 --> 00:12:28.781
Taking opposite 
hand into a fist.

00:12:28.781 --> 00:12:31.110
Just rotating it, 
rotating, rotating.

00:12:32.418 --> 00:12:35.188
And then when you're ready,
bring your pinkies almost as

00:12:35.188 --> 00:12:36.189
wide as your yoga mat.

00:12:36.189 --> 00:12:37.890
So right on the edge.

00:12:37.890 --> 00:12:40.660
Again, bicep spiral 
towards the front of the room.

00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:44.664
Now we'll curl the toes under,
take a deep breath in.

00:12:44.664 --> 00:12:48.334
And as you exhale, keep the
knees bent but peel the hips up

00:12:48.334 --> 00:12:52.171
and back as you press away from
the yoga mat once again and lift

00:12:52.171 --> 00:12:55.475
the hips up high, 
Downward Facing Dog.

00:12:55.475 --> 00:12:57.744
Start to pedal through the legs.

00:12:57.744 --> 00:13:01.914
Keeping lots of 
space in the shoulder area.

00:13:01.914 --> 00:13:05.652
Whatever that means to you and
recruiting your center even here

00:13:05.652 --> 00:13:08.454
as you hug the low ribs in.

00:13:08.454 --> 00:13:10.456
Breathe deep, you got this.

00:13:12.959 --> 00:13:14.794
Awesome.

00:13:14.794 --> 00:13:18.131
Downward Facing Dog,
find stillness here.

00:13:18.131 --> 00:13:21.668
Close your eyes or soften your
gaze if you need to and take a

00:13:21.668 --> 00:13:23.472
big "I love you" breath in.

00:13:25.394 --> 00:13:29.699
And let the heels get heavy,
really heavy as you breathe out.

00:13:31.110 --> 00:13:33.746
Claw through the fingertips,
take pressure out of the wrists.

00:13:33.746 --> 00:13:36.349
Now as you shift your weight
to your left foot and slowly

00:13:36.349 --> 00:13:38.384
inhale, lift the 
right leg up high.

00:13:38.384 --> 00:13:41.688
Three-Legged Dog but 
just like we did on all fours,

00:13:41.688 --> 00:13:43.756
dialing the 
right pinky toe down.

00:13:44.715 --> 00:13:48.541
Inhale in, exhale, slowly
step it all the way forward.

00:13:48.541 --> 00:13:50.792
Nice low lunge.

00:13:50.792 --> 00:13:54.867
You can keep the back knee
lifted here as you look forward.

00:13:54.867 --> 00:13:57.837
Or feel free to lower the back
knee if you need to keep it nice

00:13:57.837 --> 00:13:59.072
and low today.

00:13:59.072 --> 00:14:00.440
Find what feels good.

00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.075
Breathing, breathing, breathing

00:14:02.075 --> 00:14:04.477
into all four 
sides of the torso.

00:14:04.477 --> 00:14:06.961
Front knee is 
over the front ankle.

00:14:08.114 --> 00:14:10.883
Great, with the back knee lifted
or lowered you're going to

00:14:10.883 --> 00:14:15.288
inhale in, think Cow Pose,
open your heart forward.

00:14:16.042 --> 00:14:19.592
And then exhale, you're gonna
round through chin to chest.

00:14:19.592 --> 00:14:22.762
Again, back knee 
lowered or lifted.

00:14:22.762 --> 00:14:24.764
Inhale to open your heart.

00:14:26.299 --> 00:14:30.002
Exhale to round through,
chin to chest.

00:14:30.002 --> 00:14:33.373
One more, big inhale,
open your heart.

00:14:33.373 --> 00:14:36.828
Nice and easy, exhale,
round through, chin to chest.

00:14:36.828 --> 00:14:38.511
Awesome work.

00:14:38.511 --> 00:14:43.382
From here, plant the palms, step
the right toes back to Plank or

00:14:43.382 --> 00:14:45.852
Half Plank with the 
knees on the ground.

00:14:45.852 --> 00:14:48.354
Inhale in to 
lengthen through the crown.

00:14:48.354 --> 00:14:51.624
Exhale to lower everything
gently down to the belly.

00:14:51.624 --> 00:14:53.659
Hi Benji. (chuckles)

00:14:54.646 --> 00:14:56.429
Squeeze the elbows in.

00:14:56.429 --> 00:14:58.164
Inhale, gently open your heart.

00:14:58.164 --> 00:15:00.266
Just nice and low Baby Cobra.

00:15:00.266 --> 00:15:02.468
Soft and easy in the neck.

00:15:02.468 --> 00:15:04.237
Exhale to release.

00:15:04.237 --> 00:15:06.906
Press up to all fours first.

00:15:06.906 --> 00:15:10.643
Find your foundation 
so root to rise up.

00:15:10.643 --> 00:15:13.579
Find that 
connection to the earth.

00:15:13.579 --> 00:15:15.374
Ground it down, darling.

00:15:15.374 --> 00:15:18.117
And then when you're ready,
curl the toes and from that

00:15:18.117 --> 00:15:20.787
connection, peel the 
hips up high and back.

00:15:20.787 --> 00:15:23.214
Downward Facing Dog once again.

00:15:24.423 --> 00:15:26.159
Inhale lots of love in.

00:15:29.051 --> 00:15:33.185
And on the exhale, 
heavy in the heels,

00:15:33.191 --> 00:15:35.261
melt your heart back.

00:15:35.261 --> 00:15:37.134
Maintain that 
connection to the earth,

00:15:37.134 --> 00:15:38.868
you got this.
Here we go.

00:15:38.868 --> 00:15:40.706
Inhale, lift the 
left leg up high.

00:15:40.706 --> 00:15:43.309
Hold on to your core center.

00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:46.212
And exhale 
slowly shifting forward,

00:15:46.212 --> 00:15:49.248
stepping that left 
foot all the way up.

00:15:49.248 --> 00:15:52.785
Front knee over 
front ankle, back leg,

00:15:52.785 --> 00:15:55.183
excuse me, back 
knee lowered or lifted.

00:15:57.924 --> 00:16:00.059
Try to get light on the 
fingertips and here we go,

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.561
with the breath, inhale.

00:16:01.561 --> 00:16:03.830
Open the chest, let 
your heart radiate forward.

00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:06.299
Notice what this action 
does to your whole body.

00:16:06.299 --> 00:16:08.467
Notice how it's all connected.

00:16:08.467 --> 00:16:10.670
You are whole.

00:16:10.670 --> 00:16:12.405
And then exhale, 
rounding through the spine.

00:16:12.405 --> 00:16:13.773
Lift your 
figurative heart space.

00:16:13.773 --> 00:16:15.641
Lift your chest up 
between your shoulder blades.

00:16:15.641 --> 00:16:18.631
Just like we did before.
Strong back leg.

00:16:18.631 --> 00:16:20.950
Inhale to open your heart.

00:16:22.181 --> 00:16:23.683
Exhale to round 
through the spine.

00:16:23.683 --> 00:16:26.085
Chin to chest, 
moving the energy.

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.957
Last round, inhale, 
open, big breath.

00:16:30.957 --> 00:16:32.391
Long puppy belly here.

00:16:32.391 --> 00:16:35.880
Think lengthening through that
front of the right hip crease.

00:16:37.029 --> 00:16:40.099
And then exhale, 
contract navel to spine.

00:16:40.099 --> 00:16:44.303
Think about 
shortening the front hip crease.

00:16:44.303 --> 00:16:46.472
Yes, gorgeous.

00:16:46.472 --> 00:16:48.507
Then slowly release.

00:16:48.507 --> 00:16:50.343
Nice work, plant the palms.

00:16:50.343 --> 00:16:53.251
You're doing awesome.
Step it back, Plank Pose.

00:16:53.251 --> 00:16:55.499
Lower down.
Belly to Cobra.

00:16:56.883 --> 00:16:59.785
With your breath, 
inhaling to open the heart.

00:16:59.785 --> 00:17:03.422
Maybe it grows a little bit
bigger this time, maybe not.

00:17:03.422 --> 00:17:05.057
And then exhale to release.

00:17:06.503 --> 00:17:08.327
Inhale to press up to all fours.

00:17:08.327 --> 00:17:10.262
Nice and easy, 
you're doing great.

00:17:10.262 --> 00:17:12.926
Walk the knees in, 
curl the toes under.

00:17:12.926 --> 00:17:14.500
Hands are nice and wide.

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:17.203
Pinkies toward the outer edge of
the mat and when you're ready,

00:17:17.203 --> 00:17:19.412
lift it up in 
Downward Facing Dog.

00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:22.909
Beautiful, inhale in.

00:17:25.065 --> 00:17:27.059
Exhale to empty it out.

00:17:29.288 --> 00:17:30.816
Inhale in.

00:17:32.300 --> 00:17:34.169
Exhale to empty it out.

00:17:36.589 --> 00:17:38.710
Last time, inhale.
Breathe in.

00:17:41.737 --> 00:17:43.822
And empty it out.

00:17:45.031 --> 00:17:47.764
Slow descend of the 
knees down to the earth.

00:17:50.636 --> 00:17:52.305
Swing the legs to one side.

00:17:53.800 --> 00:17:56.509
And let's do like Benji.

00:17:56.509 --> 00:17:59.745
Let's come to lie down.

00:17:59.745 --> 00:18:01.681
Just for a second.

00:18:03.950 --> 00:18:06.552
Come on to your 
back or your side.

00:18:07.887 --> 00:18:10.156
We'll bring the feet 
as wide as the yoga mat,

00:18:10.156 --> 00:18:11.780
knees to fall into center so

00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:14.060
a nice constructive, 
resting posture.

00:18:14.060 --> 00:18:17.403
Hands can rest on the 
belly or out at your sides.

00:18:17.403 --> 00:18:19.398
Take a deep breath in.

00:18:19.398 --> 00:18:21.701
And as you exhale, close 
your eyes and just allow the

00:18:21.701 --> 00:18:25.471
nutrients of your practice,
this mindful moment,

00:18:25.471 --> 00:18:29.075
just allow them all to 
settle and do their thing.

00:18:29.075 --> 00:18:31.077
You don't have to do anything.

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:36.590
Try to find stillness
so no fidgeting.

00:18:38.651 --> 00:18:42.757
Just let your breath return
to it's natural ebb and flow.

00:18:52.164 --> 00:18:54.289
Then keep your 
right hand on your belly

00:18:54.289 --> 00:18:57.269
and bring your left hand 
to your sweet heart.

00:19:00.206 --> 00:19:03.438
Feel the warmth of 
your hands on your heart

00:19:03.438 --> 00:19:06.045
and on your belly.

00:19:06.045 --> 00:19:09.849
These two great 
listening centers,

00:19:09.849 --> 00:19:11.250
your guts and your heart.

00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:14.246
Listen to your guts.
Listen to your heart.

00:19:14.246 --> 00:19:17.757
Trust the process.

00:19:17.757 --> 00:19:20.726
Trust the flow, 
this cyclical flow.

00:19:20.726 --> 00:19:24.163
I wore my 
"Catch A Wave" tank top today

00:19:24.163 --> 00:19:28.671
as a reminder to ride the wave.

00:19:31.571 --> 00:19:36.709
And the tools of yoga certainly
help us do that with more grace,

00:19:36.709 --> 00:19:41.443
with more ease and 
I wholeheartedly believe

00:19:42.982 --> 00:19:45.051
with more love.

00:19:45.051 --> 00:19:48.554
Thank you for sharing your
valuable time and energy with me

00:19:50.101 --> 00:19:54.178
and all of the people 
practicing around the world.

00:19:55.661 --> 00:19:57.496
All of our fellow sufferers.

00:19:58.822 --> 00:20:00.708
I love you.
Bring the palms together,

00:20:00.708 --> 00:20:02.535
take one final breath
in as you bring

00:20:02.535 --> 00:20:07.540
your thumbs up to your 
third eye and breathe out.

00:20:08.431 --> 00:20:10.104
Take good care.

00:20:10.689 --> 00:20:12.708
Namaste.

00:20:12.708 --> 00:20:17.706
(upbeat music)
