And out through the nose. 13 00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:01,483 And then wildcard, breath in through the nose. 14 00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:05,496 And out through the nose or mouth, your choice. 15 00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:09,597 Alright, drop the chin to the chest. 16 00:01:09,597 --> 00:01:13,640 And you're just gonna tilt the head a little left to right 17 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,190 gently tick-tocking, left ear to left shoulder, 18 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:21,883 left ear to right shoulder with the chin down. 19 00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:26,170 And then, ooh yeah, 20 00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:27,820 come back to center. 21 00:01:27,820 --> 00:01:30,571 Lift the chin parallel to the earth and then 22 00:01:30,571 --> 00:01:33,880 carve a line with your nose gently up towards the sky, 23 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,750 but not directly up so you're not crunching 24 00:01:35,750 --> 00:01:37,400 in the back of the neck. 25 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,260 But just a lift to feel the throat open here. 26 00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:43,780 Neck get nice and long in the front. 27 00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:46,093 And then same thing, tick-tocking. 28 00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:50,190 Left ear to

00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:59,310 It's kinda like you're pondering. 32 00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:02,343 It's like you're those cherubs, those angels thinking. 33 00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:09,020 Okay, and then bring the head back. 34 00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:10,826 Head over heart, heart over pelvis. 35 00:02:10,826 --> 00:02:13,820 Pay attention here to this alignment. 36 00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:16,630 So you might find yourself shifting forward 37 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:19,600 or even hunched a little back. 38 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,297 Don't forget to sit up on something 39 00:02:21,297 --> 00:02:24,150 to help you sit up nice and tall. 40 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:26,020 And we're gonna bring the fingertips 41 00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:28,370 to the shoulders here. 42 00:02:28,370 --> 00:02:30,170 Bring the elbows forward to kiss. 43 00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:32,610 As you inhale, they come up and around and back. 44 00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:34,139 Creating space here. 45 00:02:34,139 --> 00:02:37,530 As you inhale, they come forward, kiss together. 46 00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:40,530 Exhale, around and back, and you can soften your gaze 47 00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:43,219 and close your eyes here and start to feel, 48 00:02:44,714 --> 00:02:47,159 feel it out, moving with the breath. 49 00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:53,173 Good, and then do one more. 50 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:55,250 And then we're gonna take it forward, 51 00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:56,550 but one elbow at a time. 52 00:02:56,550 --> 00:03:00,630 So first the right, then the left. 53 00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:04,990 First, the right, then the left like we're swimming, 54 00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:07,794 with the elbows leading the way. 55 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,310 Great, then release that. 56 00:03:16,310 --> 00:03:18,090 Send the palms out just for a second 57 00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:20,010 to stretch, stretch, stretch. 58 00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,610 Cross the right arm over the body towards 59 00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:23,590 the left side of your mat. 60 00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:27,260 Take the left hand and press it along the arm here 61 00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:28,900 to feel this stretch. 62 00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:32,250 And then when you feel like you've found this, 63 00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:34,010 you're gonna drop your right shoulder down. 64 00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:35,610 So chances are it's lifting up, 65 00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:36,950 you're gonna drop it down, 66 00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:40,000 and turn to look past your right shoulder. 67 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,150 Whoo, lots of space. 68 00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:45,231 The neck, the traps, the shoulders. 69 00:03:45,231 --> 00:03:46,440 Good, then release that. 70 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520 We're gonna take it to the other side. 71 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,590 We're gonna reach the left arm over towards the right. 72 00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:53,550 Excuse me, right hand's gonna help guide 73 00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:55,400 the arm all the way. 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,380 A lot of us know this stretch from, you know, 75 00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:03,560 maybe gym class or sports, 76 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,960 but we're gonna drop the shoulder down 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,693 into socket here, and then turn past the left shoulder. 78 00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:11,114 Breathe. 79 00:04:15,370

through all four sides of the torso. 85 00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:35,710 The front, the sides, and the back, lots of space here. 86 00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:37,870 We're gonna do a little pranayama here 87 00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:40,820 to give us a little energy to start moving. 88 00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:44,000 So we're gonna inhale, turn to the right. 89 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,220 We know to sit up nice and tall. 90 00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:49,020 Head over heart, heart over pelvis. 91 00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:52,100 And then exhale, we rotate through center. 92 00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,410 Head, heart and pelvis over to the left. 93 00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:55,910 And we're using the elbows and the shoulders 94 00:04:55,910 --> 00:04:57,210 to help guide the movement. 95 00:04:57,210 --> 00:04:59,378 So inhale to right. 96 00:04:59,378 --> 00:05:01,460 Exhale to the left. 97 00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:03,367 Inhale to right. 98 00:05:03,367 --> 00:05:04,920 Exhale to the left. 99

grounding through the back body. 111 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,830 And release, relax the arms gently. 112 00:06:30,830 --> 00:06:33,370 Inhale in through both nostrils. 113 00:06:33,370 -->

nice and slow. 116 00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:49,370 If the arms are a little sore from our previous practices, 117 00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:51,150 we're working it out, we're building strength, 118 00:06:51,150 --> 00:06:54,130 can start to work with fists here. 119 00:06:54,130 --> 00:06:56,130 Inhaling to drop the belly. 120 00:06:57,380 --> 00:06:59,570 Creating space through the front body. 121 00:06:59,570 --> 00:07:02,440 Exhaling to round through the spine. 122 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,000 Think about creating space here through the back body. 123 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,173 Good, inhale to drop the belly, heart reaches forward. 124 00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:14,540 Exhale, use your foundation to create that space. 125 00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:15,787 Just play. 126 00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,315 Inhaling, drop the belly. 127 00:07:19,770 --> 00:07:21,540 Exhale, round through the spine. 128 00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:23,800 The next time you inhale, go ahead and inhale 129 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,800 to Tabletop, nice neutral spine here. 130 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,130 And you're gonna curl the right toes under, 131 00:07:30,130 --> 00:07:33,470 send the right toes back, and then you're gonna slowly 132 00:07:33,470 --> 00:07:36,890 walk or slide rather, slide the right toes 133 00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:39,360 all the way over towards the left side of your mat, 134 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,990 and then turn to look at your left heel. 135 00:07:42,990 --> 00:07:45,720 Now use, this is a great place to experiment, 136 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,850 to practice using the foundation, 137 00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:49,170 that which is touching the earth, 138 00:07:49,170 --> 00:07:52,000 to really ground and press away from 139 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,650 so that you can create more space 140 00:07:53,650 --> 00:07:57,350 and see what areas you find can create more space 141 00:07:57,350 --> 00:08:02,000 by focusing or refocusing on your foundation 142 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,300 and your breath as well. 143 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,230 So for me, it's the fascia of the foot 144 00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:07,120 as I reach the right heel back. 145 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,030 It's the arms as I claw through the fingertips, 146 00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,630 take pressure out of the wrists. 147 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:13,600 As I turn to look past my left shoulder, 148 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,863 I feel that length in my side body. 149 00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:20,590 The right low back, even the front of my right hip crease, 150 00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:22,163 and the psoas. 151 00:08:22,163 --> 00:08:24,750 So there's a lot there, take a deep breath in. 152 00:08:24,750 --> 00:08:27,151 Exhale to bring it on back. 153 00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:32,470 Reset, draw the navel up and in. 154 00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:34,630 So a little center connection, 155 00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:38,220 and then left toes curl in, we extend the left leg out. 156 00:08:38,220 --> 00:08:39,490 Reach back through that left heel, 157 00:08:39,490 --> 00:08:41,410 and then nice and slow, slide it over. 158 00:08:41,410 --> 00:08:43,472 Keep pressing in to your left palm. 159 00:08:44,450 --> 00:08:47,030 And then send your gaze past your right shoulder, 160 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:49,380 look at your left heel, and same thing. 161 00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:51,400 What can you do, 162 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,800 what actions can you play with 163 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,240 to create more space, and how can adding 164 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,970 a conscious breath invite that spaciousness in as well? 165 00:09:05,530 --> 00:09:06,640 And feel it out. 166 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,863 Notice where you feel that expansion and that stretch. 167 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,423 That opening. 168 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,150 Glorious, one more breath here, inhale. 169 00:09:19,336 --> 00:09:20,472 Exhale. 170 00:09:21,423 --> 00:09:24,180 And then slowly release. 171 00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:26,060 Come back to all fours. 172 00:09:26,060 --> 00:09:28,550 Walk the palms forward. 173 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:30,450 Then we're gonna slowly walk the knees back, 174 00:09:30,450 --> 00:09:33,120 and just gently come on to the belly all the way down, 175 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,690 all the way down, all the way down. 176 00:09:34,690 --> 00:09:38,520 Beautiful, walk the elbows underneath the shoulders. 177 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,100 So we've come to Sphinx Pose before. 178 00:09:41,100 -->

shoulders. 181 00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:50,610 See if you can keep them nice and parallel. 182 00:09:50,610 --> 00:09:51,960 Now dig down through the elbows, 183 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,430 draw the shoulder blades together, 184 00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:56,155 open up through the chest as you look forward, inhale. 185 00:09:56,155 --> 00:09:58,389 Exhale, slight tuck of the chin. 186 00:09:59,980

little bit wider and we're gonna bring the right hand in. 190 00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:15,327 So now we're bringing the forearm 191 00:10:15,327 --> 00:10:17,460 of the right hand parallel with the front of the mat. 192 00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:19,740 Peek at me if you need to. 193 00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:22,720 Right elbow's still underneath the right shoulder. 194 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,520

supported 205 00:10:53,550 --> 00:10:55,530 and hopefully safe to play. 206 00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:58,240 Let's go ahead and release, try it on the other side. 207 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,200 So

back as much. 227 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,360 Let's start to open up, 228 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,810 create space in the whole 229 00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:57,450 shoulder girdle. 230 00:11:57,450

curl the toes under, we lift the knees. 240 00:12:23,070 --> 00:12:27,080 From here, see if you can keep the forearms parallel, 241 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,123 but if it feels more stable to interlace the fingertips 242 00:12:30,123 --> 00:12:31,900 and bring them together, if that's how you're used 243 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:34,550 to practicing and you're craving it, go there. 244

506 00:25:30,323 --> 00:25:32,570 That's right, a crouched position. 507 00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:35,580 So heels are lifted, you can keep the feet hip width apart 508 00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:37,510 or if you wanna challenge yourself, 509 00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:38,810 if it feels right in your body, 510 00:25:38,810 --> 00:25:40,230 it's not gonna feel right for everyone, 511 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:41,070 I'll tell you that right now, 512 00:25:41,070 --> 00:25:43,976 you can bring the feet together, really together. 513 00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:45,419 Then lift the heels. 514 00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:48,905 So we're focused on sensation 515 00:25:48,905 --> 00:25:51,380 and creating spaciousness in the body 516 00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:54,285 so that when we get off the mat we can move and groove 517 00:25:54,285 --> 00:25:57,830 and live and learn and serve with more ease. 518 00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:59,320 So don't get too caught up in, 519 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,220 "Oh, I wanna get my feet together," you know? 520 00:26:01,220 --> 00:26:03,722 Just, let's come into this crouch position 521 00:26:03,722 --> 00:26:08,230 and feel this spaciousness in the low back. 522 00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:09,570 The whole back really. 523 00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:13,184 And in the fascia of the foot. 524 00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:16,510 And from there, 525 00:26:16,510 --> 00:26:20,390 we're gonna draw some energy up from the pelvic floor 526 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:22,871 and come on to the fingertips. 527 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,360 And then from there, we'll revisit this maybe another day 528 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,170 if it's not right for you, but from there, 529 00:26:31,170 --> 00:26:35,530 you might lift one hand up and then the other 530 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,010 into a little toe stand. 531 00:26:39,010 --> 00:26:40,510 So we're either staying in a crouch 532 00:26:40,510 --> 00:26:42,250 or we're practicing a little toe stand. 533 00:26:42,250 --> 00:26:44,555 Just getting some fun things to play with 534 00:26:44,555 --> 00:26:46,750 as we create space. 535 00:26:46,750 --> 00:26:50,883 But remembering that our goal is to be in the sensation. 536 00:26:52,020 --> 00:26:54,675 And then follow the sensation. 537 00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:58,513 That keeps me in a state of play. 538 00:26:59,710 --> 00:27:02,120 Alright, let that go. 539 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,980 Use the hands to come all the way back on to the bum. 540 00:27:05,980 --> 00:27:08,940 Center your bum in the center of your mat. 541 00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:10,740 Then reach the fingertips forward 542 00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:15,710 as you slowly, slowly, slowly, one vertebrae at a time here, 543 00:27:15,710 --> 00:27:17,340 roll it down. 544 00:27:17,340 --> 00:27:21,010 Controlling the muscles in the center of the body 545 00:27:21,010 --> 00:27:23,300 until you come all the way down to the ground. 546 00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:25,130 We'll take a big full body stretch here 547 00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:27,520 reaching the arms all the way up and overhead. 548 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,620 Point and flex the feet, rotate the ankles. 549 00:27:31,620 --> 00:27:34,311 Rotate the wrists too if that feels good. 550 00:27:39,470 --> 00:27:41,560 Then slowly float the hands down, 551 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,700 palms on the earth. 552 00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:46,213 We'll lift the knees back up, soles of the feet on the mat. 553 00:27:48,090 --> 00:27:51,030 So opening up through the front line here again. 554 00:27:51,030 --> 00:27:53,980 Finding space as we press into all four corners of the feet. 555 00:27:53,980 --> 00:27:56,750 Press into the hands, and slowly begin 556 00:27:56,750 --> 00:27:59,540 to lift the hip points up towards the sky. 557 00:27:59,540 --> 00:28:02,660 Crawl the shoulder blades underneath you. 558 00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:05,230 Bridge pose, shins forward. 559 00:28:05,230 --> 00:28:07,580 Hip points lifting. 560 00:28:07,580 --> 00:28:10,960 Chest lifts to the chin and the chin lifts to the sky. 561 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,036 It's almost as if you're feeling as though you could tear 562 00:28:15,036 --> 00:28:17,200 the center of your yoga mat. 563 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,640 So tearing the mat into two pieces, 564 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,100 that's how strong the connection is in the feet. 565 00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:26,890 Can take the bind by interlacing the fingertips. 566 00:28:26,890 --> 00:28:30,669 Still creating space in the chest, 567 00:28:30,669 --> 00:28:31,920 the shoulders. 568
