you're on your feet all day, 00:00:16.697 --> 00:00:18.976 and you need a little bit of a practice 00:00:18.976 --> 00:00:21.822 to decompress and stretch tired, sore muscles 00:00:21.822 -->

time to counterbalance 00:01:04.965 --> 00:01:07.698 all the time you spend on your feet 00:01:07.698 --> 00:01:09.569 and all the hard work you've done 00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:11.789 and put in a

--> 00:01:32.259 And just to make sure we're not collapsing 00:01:32.259 --> 00:01:33.894 into the standing foot, 00:01:33.894 --> 00:01:37.975 just lift up through your chest a little bit. 00:01:37.975 --> 00:01:39.933 And then walk it back just a little bit, 00:01:39.933 --> 00:01:43.136 take it back so you're really stretching even more 00:01:43.136 --> 00:01:45.716 and maybe even you're able to straighten that leg. 00:01:45.716 --> 00:01:49.222 Ooh, and pop your toes, ooh! 00:01:49.222 --> 00:01:51.395 Take one more breath. 00:01:51.395 --> 00:01:53.777 Awesome, then whatever

just gonna come to a little forward fold here, 00:02:01.278 --> 00:02:05.623 but you're really tugging back on that front heel. 00:02:05.623 --> 00:02:07.291 Awesome, just a little counter there, 00:02:07.291 --> 00:02:09.013 and then release and switch. 00:02:09.013 --> 00:02:12.766 So toes come down, opposite toes come down, 00:02:12.766 --> 00:02:15.749 we stretch through the toes, maybe pop your toes here, 00:02:15.749 --> 00:02:17.298 through the front of the foot, 00:02:17.298 --> 00:02:19.166 and then last but not least try to find a lift 00:02:19.166 --> 00:02:21.901 up through the heart. 00:02:21.901 --> 00:02:23.157 Yeah, awesome. 00:02:23.157 --> 00:02:25.449 Then maybe, this will be individual of course, 00:02:25.449 --> 00:02:26.997 but maybe walk it back, 00:02:26.997 --> 00:02:28.229 find a little deeper stretch, 00:02:28.229 --> 00:02:31.184 maybe even straightening that leg. 00:02:31.184 --> 00:02:32.486 So you're feeling it all the way through 00:02:32.486 --> 00:02:35.122 the front of the hip crease. 00:02:37.295 --> 00:02:39.236 Awesome, and then release. 00:02:39.236 --> 00:02:40.727 Dig that heel into the ground, 00:02:40.727 --> 00:02:45.045 bend the standing leg and take it forward. 00:02:45.045 --> 00:02:47.287 So really tug back through that heel here, 00:02:47.287 --> 00:02:49.002 just a little counter, 00:02:49.002 --> 00:02:51.588 stretching

00:03:08.492 so you can get a nice stretch in the lower back. 00:03:08.492 --> 00:03:10.557 Keep the feet firmly planted, 00:03:10.557 --> 00:03:13.293 and begin to let the stress 00:03:13.293 --> 00:03:17.531 and any tension spill off the back body here, 00:03:17.531 --> 00:03:20.333 any weight you've been carrying. 00:03:20.333 --> 00:03:22.433 Again, bend your knees generously so we can 00:03:22.433 --> 00:03:25.172 really get some lower back love here. 00:03:25.172 --> 00:03:27.778 Stretching through the hamstrings. 00:03:27.778 --> 00:03:31.044 Maybe grabbing the elbows, opposite elbows, 00:03:31.044 --> 00:03:33.806 and rocking side to side. 00:03:35.782 --> 00:03:38.110 Shake the head loose. 00:03:39.316 --> 00:03:40.978 And then release. 00:03:40.978 --> 00:03:42.306 Tuck the chin into the chest, 00:03:42.306 --> 00:03:44.925 roll it up, nice and slow. 00:03:46.410 --> 00:03:49.379 Awesome, and then we'll come back to standing. 00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:50.694 Take a cleansing breath here, 00:03:50.694 --> 00:03:53.584 so big inhale in through the nose, 00:03:53.584 --> 00:03:55.958 and exhale, let it go. 00:03:56.767 --> 00:03:58.909 Awesome, take the feet super wide now, 00:03:58.909 --> 00:04:00.544 this is the last standing pose 00:04:00.544 --> 00:04:01.645 before we bring it to the ground, 00:04:01.645 --> 00:04:03.614 so take the feet super wide 00:04:03.614 --> 00:04:05.883 and turn the toes in slightly, 00:04:05.883 --> 00:04:07.918 so you're really feeling this stretch 00:04:07.918 --> 00:04:09.770 by pressing into the outer edge of the foot. 00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:12.155 So you should be feeling sensation 00:04:12.155 --> 00:04:14.191 in the outer edge of the foot. 00:04:14.191 --> 00:04:15.942 Then bring the hands back to the waistline, 00:04:15.942 --> 00:04:18.488 find that lift in the heart. 00:04:18.488 --> 00:04:20.931 And so standing wide leg in forward fold, 00:04:20.931 --> 00:04:23.033 you can't always do everywhere, I understand, 00:04:23.033 --> 00:04:24.635 so you can do the forward fold, 00:04:24.635 --> 00:04:27.804 but this is a good one to do daily if you can. 00:04:27.804 --> 00:04:31.642 So therapeutic and really nice for preventative care. 00:04:31.642 --> 00:04:33.410 So inhale, lift your heart, 00:04:33.410 --> 00:04:35.846 exhale, inner thighs spiral back 00:04:35.846 -->

00:04:50.894 finding soft, easy movement. 00:04:51.985 --> 00:04:54.621 If you're able to take it down a little more you will, 00:04:54.621 --> 00:04:57.424 maybe bringing the head down to hang, 00:04:57.424 --> 00:04:58.859 maybe it can touch, 00:04:58.859 --> 00:05:02.759 maybe that's something for another day. 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.574 Or maybe you take a twist, 00:05:04.574 --> 00:05:07.805 right fingertips up towards the sky, 00:05:07.805 --> 00:05:11.238 and then left fingertips up towards the sky. 00:05:11.238 --> 00:05:12.973 Soft, easy movement. 00:05:12.973 -->

00:05:25.309 Take one more breath wherever you are here, 00:05:25.309 --> 00:05:28.365 standing wide legged forward fold. 00:05:29.736 --> 00:05:31.805 And then exhale, release. 00:05:33.343 --> 00:05:34.511 Bend the knees, 00:05:34.511 --> 00:05:36.413 bring the hands to the waistline, 00:05:36.413 --> 00:05:39.282 inhale and again flat back, 00:05:39.282 --> 00:05:41.885 and exhale to come all the way up. 00:05:41.885 --> 00:05:46.356 Whoa, feel the blood flow, opposite direction. 00:05:46.356 --> 00:05:47.364 And then nice and slow, 00:05:47.364 --> 00:05:49.152 so find articulation in the feet here, 00:05:49.152 --> 00:05:52.462 you can even use this motion to really massage 00:05:52.462 --> 00:05:54.765 and dig into the ball joint of the big toe 00:05:54.765 --> 00:05:56.400 and dig into the heel. 00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:00.570 Walk your feet all the way back to hip width apart. 00:06:03.729 --> 00:06:06.090 Big cleansing breath here.

00:06:19.753 --> 00:06:23.323 Alright, so once you get down on the ground, 00:06:23.323 --> 00:06:25.158 you don't even need a yoga mat, 00:06:25.158 --> 00:06:28.141 just get down low, come into a nice comfortable seat. 00:06:28.141 --> 00:06:30.063 This could be cross legged, kneeling, 00:06:30.063 --> 00:06:33.366 you can even sit in a chair for this next piece. 00:06:33.366 --> 00:06:35.068 And sit up nice and tall 00:06:35.068 --> 00:06:36.636 and once again, a cleansing breath, 00:06:36.636 --> 00:06:39.005 just kind of washing away the day thus far, 00:06:39.005 --> 00:06:40.870 inhale in 00:06:40.870 --> 00:06:43.497 and exhale out through the mouth. 00:06:44.584 --> 00:06:47.104 Then working into the neck and shoulders here, 00:06:47.104 --> 00:06:50.907 so drop the chin to the chest, wherever you are, 00:06:50.907 --> 00:06:54.444 and then slowly we're gonna draw a U with the nose, 00:06:54.444 --> 00:06:55.479 back and forth. 00:06:55.479 --> 00:06:57.468 So you'll go

close your eyes you're just kind of signalling 00:07:24.444 --> 00:07:27.047 the brain body connect to go inward 00:07:27.047 --> 00:07:30.465 and to relax. 00:07:38.081 --> 00:07:39.209 Great, even

Another great option is just to reach it 00:09:28.705 --> 00:09:31.201 all the way out in front. 00:09:31.201 --> 00:09:32.342 Then bring the breath here, 00:09:32.342 --> 00:09:34.755 press into the tops of the feet for a little stability, 00:09:34.755 --> 00:09:37.129 and breathe deep. 00:09:45.525 --> 00:09:47.687 And slowly we'll release. 00:09:47.687 --> 00:09:50.623 Use the hands to press yourself back up. 00:09:50.623 --> 00:09:52.158 Come back to all fours 00:09:52.158 --> 00:09:54.444 and we'll reach the left fingertips forward. 00:09:54.444 --> 00:09:55.812 Soft, easy movement, 00:09:55.812 --> 00:09:57.881 find that length in the left side body, 00:09:57.881 --> 00:09:59.649 and then threading the needle here, 00:09:59.649 --> 00:10:01.718 coming onto the left ear, 00:10:01.718 --> 00:10:03.897 should feel really good as you breathe 00:10:03.897 --> 00:10:06.576 into the muscles of the upper back. 00:10:06.576 --> 00:10:09.412 Again, right elbow can come to the sky, 00:10:09.412 --> 00:10:11.615 to the lower back, 00:10:11.615 --> 00:10:13.950 or all the way out in front. 00:10:17.584 --> 00:10:19.803 Breathing into the twist. 00:10:19.803 --> 00:10:21.868 Again sending lots of breath and awareness 00:10:21.868 --> 00:10:24.090 to the upper back body, 00:10:25.191 --> 00:10:27.193 the shoulders, the neck. 00:10:28.528 --> 00:10:32.599 Press into your toes for a little stability here. 00:10:35.605 --> 00:10:38.108 Awesome, then slide it back in 00:10:39.566 --> 00:10:41.601 and come back to all fours. 00:10:41.601 --> 00:10:44.371 Walk the knees underneath the hip points, 00:10:44.371 --> 00:10:47.522 cross the ankles, and slowly, mindfully, 00:10:47.522 --> 00:10:49.039 be careful of your knees and ankles, 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.074 come all the way through, 00:10:51.074 --> 00:10:53.510 and we're gonna send the legs out front. 00:10:53.510 --> 00:10:55.378 Keep it soft and easy movement here. 00:10:55.378 --> 00:10:57.914 So we're gonna windshield wiper the legs back and forth, 00:10:57.914 --> 00:11:01.418 get a little glute massage here, 00:11:01.418 --> 00:11:05.589 so if you're on carpet you might not feel this as firmly, 00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.401 so too bad for you! 00:11:08.401 --> 00:11:09.536 No, just kidding. 00:11:09.536 --> 00:11:10.761 So if that's the case, 00:11:10.761 --> 00:11:13.273 then just make it about moving through the hip sockets 00:11:13.273 --> 00:11:14.908 and maybe even finding a little lift 00:11:14.908 --> 00:11:16.609 through the armpit and chest to open up 00:11:16.609 --> 00:11:18.611 through the pecs and the shoulders. 00:11:18.611 --> 00:11:19.496 But if you're on a hard surface, 00:11:19.496 --> 00:11:22.255 you can really get a nice little 00:11:22.255 --> 00:11:25.583 gluteus maximus (laughs) massage. 00:11:26.856 --> 00:11:28.958 Dude, if you're sore from being on your feet, 00:11:28.958 --> 00:11:30.861 then you know what I'm talking about though. 00:11:30.861 --> 00:11:31.995 Yes. 00:11:33.837 --> 00:11:35.038 Okay. 00:11:35.038 --> 00:11:38.909 After you've windshield wipered the legs a little bit, 00:11:38.909 --> 00:11:40.243 we'll sit up nice and tall 00:11:40.243 --> 00:11:43.813 with the legs straight out in front. 00:11:43.813 --> 00:11:45.882 And take your right knee, lift it up, 00:11:45.882 --> 00:11:47.484 hug your right knee in, 00:11:47.484 --> 00:11:51.121 and swim the right fingertips around for a twist. 00:11:51.121 --> 00:11:52.489 Press into your left heel, 00:11:52.489 --> 00:11:55.091 inhale, sit up nice and tall, 00:11:55.091 --> 00:11:58.395 and exhale, look past your right shoulder. 00:11:58.395 --> 00:12:00.269 Inhale, 00:12:00.269 --> 00:12:02.238 and exhale, come back. 00:12:02.238 --> 00:12:05.174 Take your right foot into your left hand 00:12:05.174 --> 00:12:06.655 and we're gonna cradle it, 00:12:06.655 --> 00:12:08.634 maybe rocking a little bit back and forth, 00:12:08.634 --> 00:12:10.012 or if it feels good, 00:12:10.012 --> 00:12:12.915 you can take the foot to the elbow. 00:12:15.572 --> 00:12:19.872 Maybe rock front to back, a little side to side. 00:12:19.872 --> 00:12:21.144 And then release it. 00:12:21.144 --> 00:12:24.013 Cleansing breath here, inhale in, 00:12:24.013 --> 00:12:27.993 exhale, let it go. 00:12:27.998 --> 00:12:29.382 Awesome, hug the left knee in, 00:12:29.382 --> 00:12:31.510 give it a hug, 00:12:31.510 --> 00:12:33.576 swim it around, find your twist. 00:12:33.576 --> 00:12:36.119 Press through that right heel for stability, 00:12:36.119 --> 00:12:38.291 a little grounding in the twist, 00:12:38.291 --> 00:12:41.127 and then inhale, sit up nice and tall, 00:12:41.127 --> 00:12:44.130 and exhale, journey into your twist. 00:12:45.231 --> 00:12:47.741 There's a tendency here to lean back into it, 00:12:47.741 --> 00:12:50.637 so use that pressing of the right heel forward 00:12:50.637 --> 00:12:53.356 and this lift up through the sternum to ground you. 00:12:53.356 --> 00:12:54.374 Sit up nice and tall, 00:12:54.374 --> 00:12:56.643 even if it means you don't twist as much. 00:12:56.643 --> 00:12:58.077 One more breath. 00:12:59.112 --> 00:13:01.247 Use your exhale to release. 00:13:01.247 --> 00:13:03.783 Right hand takes the left foot this time, 00:13:03.783 --> 00:13:04.918 we open up through the hip, 00:13:04.918 --> 00:13:08.187 and it might just be here, ooh, working. 00:13:08.187 --> 00:13:12.148 In time we might take it here, a deeper stretch. 00:13:12.148 --> 00:13:13.917 And everyone's just anatomically different, 00:13:13.917 --> 00:13:15.408 some hips are really open, 00:13:15.408 --> 00:13:18.331 some are really rotated internally, 00:13:18.331 --> 00:13:21.750 so just check it out, feel it out. 00:13:25.438 --> 00:13:27.206 Awesome, and then release. 00:13:27.206 --> 00:13:29.135 Cleansing breath here, this time with arms. 00:13:29.135 --> 00:13:31.271 We inhale, reach for the sky, 00:13:31.271 --> 00:13:32.839 and exhale, bend the knees, 00:13:32.839 --> 00:13:34.441 cleansing breath, bow forward, 00:13:34.441 --> 00:13:38.945 pashit motanasana here in seated forward fold. 00:13:38.945 --> 00:13:41.548 Bow your head, close your eyes. 00:13:45.165 --> 00:13:49.335 Feel that stretch through the back body as you breathe deep. 00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:55.849 And then slowly roll it up. 00:13:56.713 --> 00:13:59.783 Hike both heels in towards the center. 00:14:01.093 --> 00:14:04.686 This is our last pose here, so enjoy this time. 00:14:04.686 --> 00:14:07.880 You can always continue on after this video, 00:14:07.880 --> 00:14:09.262 but just a little something. 00:14:09.262 --> 00:14:10.754 We'll come into cobbler's pose, 00:14:10.754 --> 00:14:13.486 so the knees come nice and wide 00:14:13.486 --> 00:14:14.734 and the feet come together, 00:14:14.734 --> 00:14:17.494 and if you have a hard time sitting up tall here, 00:14:17.494 --> 00:14:19.358 just bring the toes out, 00:14:19.358 --> 00:14:21.527 or sit up on a blanket or block. 00:14:21.527 --> 00:14:23.090 And or. 00:14:23.090 --> 00:14:24.788 We're gonna use the thumbs here 00:14:24.788 --> 00:14:26.092 to really massage the feet. 00:14:26.092 --> 00:14:30.403 So start with the arches, rubbing the arches of the feet, 00:14:30.403 --> 00:14:34.207 and then on to the heels, the ankles, 00:14:34.207 --> 00:14:37.043 and just start to soften your gaze here, 00:14:37.043 --> 00:14:38.911 so, you know, when you're at work, 00:14:38.911 --> 00:14:42.115 you have to be, you know, spinning a ton of plates 00:14:42.115 --> 00:14:43.950 and focused and eyes open, 00:14:43.950 --> 00:14:46.252 so just kind of go inward a little bit here. 00:14:46.252 --> 00:14:48.254 Soften your gaze, you might even close your eyes, 00:14:48.254 --> 00:14:50.972 as you rub your toes. 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.728 Awesome, then grab your ankles. 00:14:58.728 --> 00:15:00.897 Inhale, lift your heart, 00:15:00.897 --> 00:15:03.333 and exhale, bend the elbows left to right, 00:15:03.333 --> 00:15:06.302 come forward, try to touch your nose to your toes. 00:15:06.302 --> 00:15:10.640 Again, feel that big stretch in the back body. 00:15:10.640 --> 00:15:13.009 Relax your shoulders down away from your ears. 00:15:13.009 --> 00:15:15.778 Take one more breath here. 00:15:15.778 --> 00:15:17.780 And tuck the chin into the chest, 00:15:17.780 --> 00:15:19.940 and slowly roll it up. 00:15:21.431 --> 00:15:25.602 Awesome, cross the ankles and we'll come to sukhasan. 00:15:27.303 --> 00:15:29.739 Final cleansing breath, here we go. 00:15:29.739 --> 00:15:34.111 Inhale deeply through the nose, and exhale, 00:15:34.111 --> 00:15:37.123 relax your shoulders as you exhale completely, 00:15:37.123 --> 00:15:39.372 out through the mouth. 00:15:41.407 --> 00:15:43.176 Awesome work. 00:15:43.176 --> 00:15:44.744 Alright, my darling friends, 00:15:44.744 --> 00:15:46.589 so that was your practice for today. 00:15:46.589 --> 00:15:47.510 If you're hungry for more, 00:15:47.510 --> 00:15:49.479 dive into another video right now, 00:15:49.479 --> 00:15:52.952 or might I suggest maybe taking an epson salt bath, 00:15:52.952 --> 00:15:54.591 if you're not already into that you should give it a try. 00:15:54.591 --> 00:15:55.842 You can also just do a foot bath, 00:15:55.842 --> 00:15:57.937 it's really quick and easy and a little goes a long way, 00:15:57.937 --> 00:16:00.492 I swear to heaven. 00:16:00.492 --> 00:16:02.862 Another great thing is sending your legs up the wall, 00:16:02.862 --> 00:16:05.798 for legs up the wall pose, vrida karini. 00:16:05.798 --> 00:16:07.737 We have a whole video for legs up the wall 00:16:07.737 --> 00:16:10.269 which talks about how amazing that is, 00:16:10.269 --> 00:16:12.305 and again, how a little goes a long way, 00:16:12.305 --> 00:16:13.610 so you just kick your legs up the wall, 00:16:13.610 --> 00:16:15.385 and you can kind of support your lower back with a blanket. 00:16:15.385 --> 00:16:17.540 Anyway, check that out if you're interested. 00:16:17.540 --> 00:16:18.414 I've got your back. 00:16:18.414 -->
