00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:01,040
- Hello everyone.

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,610
Welcome to BREATH,
your 30 day yoga journey.

3
00:00:03,610 --> 00:00:07,942
It's Day 25, Love.

(bright upbeat piano music)

12
00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:58,470
Welcome, let's begin in
a nice, comfortable seat.

13
00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:00,735
It's okay to have fun.

14
00:01:00,735 --> 00:01:03,900
I think we're in the
home stretch of this journey

15
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,263
and this is the perfect time to

16
00:01:07,263 --> 00:01:11,273
tap into some love. (laughs)

17
00:01:11,273 --> 00:01:14,399
Said that like a Texan,
some love.

18
00:01:14,399 --> 00:01:16,285
Some love.

19
00:01:16,285 --> 00:01:19,303
We'll do some love
for the lower back,

20
00:01:19,303 --> 00:01:21,240
love for the neck and shoulders,

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,360
love for the hips,

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,675
but really let this
practice be an invitation

23
00:01:26,675 --> 00:01:28,407
or a reminder

24
00:01:28,407 --> 00:01:32,083
that when you
show up for yourself,

25
00:01:32,083 --> 00:01:33,330
that's an act of love.

26
00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:35,373
It's a huge,

27
00:01:36,598 --> 00:01:38,383
humongous,

28
00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:44,436
Whitney Houston
high-note-sized (chuckles)

29
00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:47,520
act of love,

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,184
and it's beautiful
and it's courageous.

31
00:01:52,068 --> 00:01:55,530
I very much believe that
half the battle is showing up,

32
00:01:55,530 --> 00:01:57,480
and we're here now.

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,737
So I hope you begin to
feel the love that you deserve

34
00:02:05,110 --> 00:02:09,352
now and throughout
this practice and beyond.

35
00:02:11,370 --> 00:02:13,896
Bring the fingertips to
the shoulders, nice and easy.

36
00:02:13,896 --> 00:02:16,214
Take a deep breath in.

37
00:02:16,214 --> 00:02:18,480
As you exhale,
relax the shoulders.

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Feel the shoulder
blades getting heavy,

39
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,377
melting down the back body.

40
00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:24,370
Sit up nice and tall,

41
00:02:24,370 --> 00:02:27,923
lengthening through all
four sides of the torso.

42
00:02:29,470 --> 00:02:32,450
Acknowledging this
lift in the front body

43
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:35,660
and this grounding 
in the back body.

44
00:02:35,660 --> 00:02:39,890
And furthermore,
acknowledging just opposition,

45
00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:43,037
light and darkness,

46
00:02:43,037 --> 00:02:45,632
sun and moon,
masculine and feminine.

47
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:51,550
And in your own time,
we'll start to inhale,

48
00:02:51,550 --> 00:02:53,790
bringing the
elbows together to kiss,

49
00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:55,744
and then taking them 
all the way up, around

50
00:02:55,744 --> 00:02:57,047
and back as you breathe out.

51
00:02:57,047 --> 00:03:00,470
And you can just follow
the rhythm of your breath here

52
00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:04,670
as we start to move
very slowly and gently.

53
00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:12,280
And then reversing
it one elbow at a time.

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,417
You're gonna swim one elbow
forward and then the other.

55
00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:25,390
And then you're
gonna release that

56
00:03:25,390 --> 00:03:27,752
by, listen carefully, 
tossing in a way.

57
00:03:27,752 --> 00:03:29,311
So do it again.

58
00:03:29,311 --> 00:03:31,742
One more time, one more time

59
00:03:31,742 --> 00:03:34,031
toss away that
which no longer serves.

60
00:03:34,031 --> 00:03:37,100
And then we're gonna come
to lie flat on our backs.

61
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:38,823
Nice and slow.

62
00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:44,440
When you get there, 
take a nice full body stretch,

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,838
breathe in.

64
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,010
And breathe out.

65
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:49,980
Wiggle the fingers,
wiggle the toes

66
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:52,910
rotate the ankles 
and the wrists.

67
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:55,650
Feel the earth rising
up to meet your back body

68
00:03:55,650 --> 00:04:00,630
close your eyes and
just notice what it feels

69
00:04:00,630 --> 00:04:03,087
like for your mat to
kind of have your back here.

70
00:04:03,087 --> 00:04:04,357
I know that
sounds a little cheesy

71
00:04:04,357 --> 00:04:07,396
but truly this is

72
00:04:07,396 --> 00:04:12,470
a sacred space that
we've been cultivating here.

73
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:15,880
So I'm inviting you
to acknowledge that.

74
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,188
Feel held by that, in that.

75
00:04:21,217 --> 00:04:22,520
Bring the arms down.

76
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,190
We're gonna hug the
knees into the chest.

77
00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:27,025
Take a deep breath in.

78
00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:30,620
And then deep
breath out to lower

79
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:32,330
just the left
foot to the ground,

80
00:04:32,330 --> 00:04:33,983
left knee stays bent.

81
00:04:33,983 --> 00:04:37,418
Then we're gonna take
the right leg all the way up

82
00:04:37,418 --> 00:04:40,630
and cross it over the
top of the left thigh.

83
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:43,544
So right ankle to the
top of the left thigh.

84
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,441
Then we'll lift up
off the left foot,

85
00:04:47,441 --> 00:04:49,220
thread the needle here,
we've been here before.

86
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:50,580
Nice and easy.

87
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:52,320
No need to squeeze too hard.

88
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,050
Just let it all
kind of unravel here

89
00:04:56,050 --> 00:04:58,828
as you deepen
your breath gently.

90
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:04,861
Maybe you rock a
little side to side.

91
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:09,230
With some energy
in the feet here,

92
00:05:09,230 --> 00:05:13,010
imagine you're pressing
your left foot into a wall

93
00:05:13,010 --> 00:05:15,900
as you gently draw your legs

94
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,510
up towards your
heart or your chest.

95
00:05:21,980 --> 00:05:23,410
Now, on an inhale,

96
00:05:23,410 --> 00:05:25,460
extend the left leg
up towards the sky,

97
00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:27,350
point your left toes.

98
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:31,440
And then slowly release, 
everything unravel.

99
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,430
We'll bring it back down.

100
00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:33,910
Hug both knees into the chest.

101
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:34,743
Breathe in.

102
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:37,100
Right foot comes to the ground

103
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:38,810
as you breathe out.

104
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:41,770
Inhale, send the left
leg up towards the sky.

105
00:05:41,770 --> 00:05:44,020
Exhale, cross it over
the top of the right thigh.

106
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:45,400
When you're ready,
lift the legs,

107
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,853
thread the needle, and
maybe soft easy movement here.

108
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:52,625
Breathing deep.

109
00:06:06,297 --> 00:06:09,010
Then inhale, extend the
right leg all the way up.

110
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:11,916
Point the toes, 
point, point, point.

111
00:06:11,916 --> 00:06:14,100
And then exhale, unravel,

112
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,910
bring it all back down.

113
00:06:15,910 --> 00:06:17,620
Hug the knees back in.

114
00:06:17,620 --> 00:06:19,760
This time, palms
to the knee caps

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,720
then send the knees out,

116
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,460
open the knees wide.

117
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,170
Then bring them in
towards the chest.

118
00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:30,471
Nice and slow here to start out.

119
00:06:30,471 --> 00:06:31,823
Straighten the arms

120
00:06:33,334 --> 00:06:34,983
around,

121
00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:37,280
in,

122
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:41,315
and then continuing in your
own rhythm with your breath.

123
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:44,520
I encourage you
to move slow here,

124
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,740
at least to start

125
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:47,906
to really feel the sensation

126
00:06:47,906 --> 00:06:49,790
in the hip socket,

127
00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:51,850
and that connection

128
00:06:51,850 --> 00:06:53,511
to the lower body.

129
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:02,660
Alright now, bring the
knees together, really together.

130
00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:04,570
Slide the hands to
the backs of the thighs.

131
00:07:04,570 --> 00:07:06,360
Try to move from center,

132
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,160
from this place of connect.

133
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,968
As we lift our heart up,

134
00:07:09,968 --> 00:07:11,510
hi Benji,

135
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:12,630
and then rock it back.

136
00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:13,690
Give it a try.

137
00:07:13,690 --> 00:07:15,048
Lifting it up.

138
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:16,943
And back.

139
00:07:16,943 --> 00:07:18,370
And if you don't make it,
you're not alone.

140
00:07:18,370 --> 00:07:20,894
And you can use your elbows,
your hands to help lift you up.

141
00:07:20,894 --> 00:07:22,430
I feel like this
is a great moment

142
00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:25,150
for our humility practice too,

143
00:07:25,150 --> 00:07:28,035
but we're rocking up and
down the length of the spine,

144
00:07:28,035 --> 00:07:29,990
your version.

145
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:31,200
Getting a little massage

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,450
and then the next
time you rock up,

147
00:07:32,450 --> 00:07:34,680
you'll cross the
right ankle over the left.

148
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,380
Come through to all fours.

149
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:38,430
Walk the knees back,
back the truck up,

150
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:40,815
so you're nice and
centered on your mat.

151
00:07:43,282 --> 00:07:45,810
Wonderful. From here, 
we're gonna inhale.

152
00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:46,930
Kick just the right leg out.

153
00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:48,300
Kick it out.

154
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:49,840
Exhale, bring it all the way up

155
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,600
and into your nice low lunge.

156
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,748
Walk the left knee back,
walk it back.

157
00:07:54,748 --> 00:07:55,840
And then here we go.

158
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,016
Left hand comes to the earth.

159
00:07:58,016 --> 00:08:01,530
Inhale, right fingertips
all the way up towards the sky.

160
00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:04,529
Exhale, send the right
fingertips all the way back

161
00:08:04,529 --> 00:08:07,004
and then around and down.

162
00:08:07,004 --> 00:08:09,482
Pull the right hip crease back,

163
00:08:09,482 --> 00:08:12,674
flex your right toes 
towards your face.

164
00:08:12,674 --> 00:08:14,580
Inhale to look forward.

165
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:17,589
Exhale, roll through 
that right foot.

166
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:18,990
Left hand comes to the mat,

167
00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:22,020
right hand comes
over to meet the left.

168
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:24,470
We're here in a nice low Lizard.

169
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:26,777
Back knee stays
on the ground here.

170
00:08:26,777 --> 00:08:28,960
(Benji groans)
(Adriene chuckles)

171
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,481
Breathing deep.

172
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,033
Good, walk your right hand back.

173
00:08:35,033 --> 00:08:37,620
Walk your right
foot into center.

174
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:39,430
So you're
framing your right foot.

175
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:43,240
Curl the back toes under 
and here we go, Plank Pose.

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,980
Lift your heart
up towards the sky,

177
00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:46,800
heart center up towards the sky.

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,260
So upper back has
this nice doming position.

179
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:53,222
Inhale in, exhale,
lower all the way to the belly.

180
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:55,783
Inhale, Cobra.

181
00:08:56,752 --> 00:08:59,070
Exhale to release.

182
00:08:59,070 --> 00:09:00,520
Curl the toes under,

183
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,667
press it back up to all fours.

184
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:05,733
Beautiful.
Here we go.

185
00:09:05,733 --> 00:09:07,950
Inhale, kick the left leg out.

186
00:09:07,950 --> 00:09:10,390
Exhale, guide it all the way up.

187
00:09:10,390 --> 00:09:11,223
Take your time.

188
00:09:11,223 --> 00:09:14,210
Remember you can use
your hands to guide it up.

189
00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:16,792
Stay connected to center.

190
00:09:16,792 --> 00:09:19,060
Nice and easy,
right hand to the earth.

191
00:09:19,060 --> 00:09:21,460
Inhale left fingertips 
up towards the sky.

192
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,819
So don't let that
left knee splay out here.

193
00:09:23,819 --> 00:09:26,280
Left knee over left ankle.

194
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,946
Good. Now on an exhale,

195
00:09:27,946 --> 00:09:30,530
guide the left
fingertips all the way back

196
00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:31,640
towards the back edge of the mat

197
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,850
and then all the way back down.

198
00:09:33,850 --> 00:09:36,474
Beautiful. Pull the 
left hip crease back.

199
00:09:36,474 --> 00:09:39,988
Left toes flex
towards the face here.

200
00:09:39,988 --> 00:09:42,170
Inhale, look forward.

201
00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:46,350
Exhale, make your way
back to the nice low lunge.

202
00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:47,830
Go ahead and walk
that right knee back

203
00:09:47,830 --> 00:09:49,633
if you haven't already.
Just get a little deeper stretch.

204
00:09:49,633 --> 00:09:53,150
And then take the left hand,
bring it over to meet the right.

205
00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:55,200
we're breathing here.

206
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,995
We're pressing down through
the front of that right foot.

207
00:10:02,306 --> 00:10:04,161
Good, inhale to look forward.

208
00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:06,870
Exhale, bring it back,

209
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:08,450
framing the left
foot with the hands.

210
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:10,540
Curl the right toes under,
lift the back knee.

211
00:10:10,540 --> 00:10:13,080
Here we go.
Step it back nice and strong,

212
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,270
Inhale in deeply here.

213
00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:18,610
Exhale, belly to Cobra or 
Chaturanga to Upward Facing Dog.

214
00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:20,210
Inhale to open your heart.

215
00:10:20,210 --> 00:10:22,080
And exhale to send it back,

216
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,670
Extended Child's Pose.

217
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:25,930
So you walk the knees back,

218
00:10:25,930 --> 00:10:27,420
hips back towards the heels,

219
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:29,153
heart melts to the earth.

220
00:10:30,050 --> 00:10:32,807
Take any variation you like
in the fingers and the arms,

221
00:10:32,807 --> 00:10:34,609
maybe soft fingers,

222
00:10:34,609 --> 00:10:37,184
or palms together, Namaste.

223
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,210
Maybe you keep nice active arms

224
00:10:40,210 --> 00:10:42,577
if you have good
amount of energy today.

225
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:52,965
Inhale, lots of love in.

226
00:10:54,410 --> 00:10:56,697
And exhale, lots of love out.

227
00:10:57,660 --> 00:10:58,900
Inhale to lift the heart,

228
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:00,730
the head, chest back up.

229
00:11:00,730 --> 00:11:03,113
Walk the knees
underneath the hip points.

230
00:11:04,350 --> 00:11:05,680
Good, ground down here.

231
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,360
On an exhale, draw your navel up

232
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,763
so you have that strong
connection to your core.

233
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:12,060
On your next breath,

234
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:13,060
kick the right leg out.

235
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:14,500
Inhale.

236
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:17,310
Exhale, strong
connection to the core.

237
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:19,993
Next breath, 
left fingertips reach out.

238
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,370
And exhale, 
we're gonna reach behind.

239
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:27,800
Left hand reaches out
to grab the right toes.

240
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,110
We press into the earth

241
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:31,640
as we work to kick
the right toes back.

242
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,276
If this is not working for you,
you're gonna pulse

243
00:11:34,276 --> 00:11:35,710
just the right leg.

244
00:11:35,710 --> 00:11:37,820
Pulsing, pulsing, pulsing here.

245
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:40,135
So we're here pulsing
with both hands on the ground,

246
00:11:40,135 --> 00:11:42,883
or we're working
in a little bow.

247
00:11:44,662 --> 00:11:46,920
Breathing deep.

248
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,690
Lots of awareness in
the neck and shoulders.

249
00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:51,514
Draw those shoulders 
away from the ears.

250
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,640
And then slowly
release wherever you are.

251
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,313
Let's all come
back to all fours.

252
00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:00,180
Second side.

253
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:02,410
Inhale, extend the left leg out.

254
00:12:02,410 --> 00:12:04,210
Dial the left toes down.

255
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:07,215
Find your core
connection on that exhale.

256
00:12:07,215 --> 00:12:09,673
Inhale, reach the
right fingertips forward.

257
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,930
Exhale, bend the left knee.
Bend the right elbow.

258
00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:15,350
Reach behind.
Grab the top of the foot.

259
00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:17,670
Kick out. If we're not
doing the bind today,

260
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:20,455
both hands are on the
ground and we're pulsing here.

261
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,983
Pulsing, pulsing, pulsing.

262
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:26,460
Breathing deep,
everyone trying to breed.

263
00:12:26,460 --> 00:12:28,717
Breathe, breed, whoa.

264
00:12:28,717 --> 00:12:31,230
Freudian slip.
Just kidding, breathe wide,

265
00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:33,185
so nice lateral breath.

266
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,990
Feel the rib cage expand.

267
00:12:38,130 --> 00:12:40,776
Front body, 
side body, back body.

268
00:12:44,260 --> 00:12:46,333
(laughs) Then slowly release.

269
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:48,653
Nice and steady.

270
00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:52,010
Gorgeous. Walk the 
hands out in front.

271
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:54,170
Curl the toes under,
send the hips up and back,

272
00:12:54,170 --> 00:12:55,745
Downward Facing Dog.

273
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,824
Inhale, lots of love in here.

274
00:13:00,590 --> 00:13:02,649
And exhale lots of love out.

275
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:07,012
Again, lots of
love in, big breath.

276
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,434
Lots of love out.

277
00:13:11,170 --> 00:13:13,010
It's okay if that
love for yourself

278
00:13:13,010 --> 00:13:15,460
isn't already all there.

279
00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:16,810
We're here to cultivate that.

280
00:13:16,810 --> 00:13:18,290
We're here to uncover it,

281
00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:20,100
to nurture it.

282
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,339
So you're doing great.

283
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:25,130
Inhale, lift the right leg high.

284
00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:26,560
Exhale, step it all the way up.

285
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,390
Lower the back knee.

286
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:31,560
Again, inhale, right fingertips 
up towards the sky.

287
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,232
Option, right hand comes behind

288
00:13:34,232 --> 00:13:37,325
and to the small of the back,

289
00:13:37,325 --> 00:13:39,010
or it comes behind,

290
00:13:39,010 --> 00:13:40,170
we bend the left knee

291
00:13:40,170 --> 00:13:44,400
and we reach for the
top of the left foot.

292
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,380
So we're here,

293
00:13:46,380 --> 00:13:47,350
or we're here.

294
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:50,420
And we're all opening
up through the chest here.

295
00:13:50,420 --> 00:13:54,644
Breathing deep, obviously big
opening in the left side, quad,

296
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,150
left hip crease,
core connection is here.

297
00:13:59,150 --> 00:14:01,940
Opening up through
the chest, lifting.

298
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:04,130
And then slowly releasing

299
00:14:04,130 --> 00:14:06,730
whether you have the hand on
the low back or on the foot,

300
00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:09,060
let's bring it all the way back.

301
00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:12,610
We're gonna slowly drag the
right foot back to all fours,

302
00:14:12,610 --> 00:14:14,030
curl the toes under,

303
00:14:14,030 --> 00:14:15,823
send the hips up high and back.

304
00:14:16,660 --> 00:14:19,100
Now I cannot believe
it's taken me this long

305
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,050
to share this with
you on this journey.

306
00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:23,060
But we pick the
love day because this

307
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:27,830
is one of my most
favorite breath techniques.

308
00:14:27,830 --> 00:14:30,700
The one I love the most,

309
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:31,870
it's called horsey lips.

310
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:34,697
It's very intelligent

311
00:14:34,697 --> 00:14:37,300
astute technique.

312
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:39,760
You inhale in through the nose.

313
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,852
When you exhale out
through the lips like so.

314
00:14:41,852 --> 00:14:43,480
(horse snorting)

315
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,190
Give it a try, inhale.

316
00:14:46,210 --> 00:14:48,433
And exhale.
(horse snorting)

317
00:14:48,433 --> 00:14:50,930
Good inhale, 
lift the left leg up high.

318
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:52,840
Slowly, exhale,
bring it all the way up.

319
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,339
Lower the right knee down.

320
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:57,830
Inhale, reach
left fingertips up.

321
00:14:57,830 --> 00:14:59,810
So left knee squeezes in

322
00:14:59,810 --> 00:15:01,070
and we have options here.

323
00:15:01,070 --> 00:15:04,160
We can bring the left
hand to the low back,

324
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,990
or we can bend that right knee.

325
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:06,870
Reach behind.

326
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:09,224
Grab the top of the left toes

327
00:15:09,224 --> 00:15:10,500
and play here.

328
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,100
Everyone, lift your chest.

329
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,010
Breathe wide.

330
00:15:14,010 --> 00:15:15,887
Inhale, lots of love in.

331
00:15:17,155 --> 00:15:19,422
And exhale lots of love out.

332
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:28,250
Take one more
cycle of breath here.

333
00:15:28,250 --> 00:15:30,960
Think about spiraling
your heart up towards the sky.

334
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,164
Or imagine that honey on
the rib cage that we had

335
00:15:34,164 --> 00:15:37,163
before spiraling
your chest up, up, up.

336
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,470
Then slow and with control,

337
00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:41,881
slowly bring it
back to your lunge.

338
00:15:41,881 --> 00:15:44,138
We're gonna plant both palms,

339
00:15:44,138 --> 00:15:46,755
both knees come back,

340
00:15:46,755 --> 00:15:48,340
all fours here.

341
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:51,510
Now from here, walk the
knees together, really together.

342
00:15:51,510 --> 00:15:53,930
Then shift your weight
forward to this half push-up

343
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:56,530
that we've been in before.
Inhale to look forward.

344
00:15:56,530 --> 00:16:00,850
Exhale, slowly lower down
all the way to the belly.

345
00:16:00,850 --> 00:16:03,219
Lower the tops of
the feet to the ground,

346
00:16:03,219 --> 00:16:07,140
fingertips and palms
drag back just a bit

347
00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:09,690
in line with the rib cage
as you squeeze the elbows in,

348
00:16:09,690 --> 00:16:12,805
just refining a little,
and inhale, Cobra.

349
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,210
Exhale, soften and release.

350
00:16:16,210 --> 00:16:17,140
Beautiful.

351
00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:19,841
Slowly, press
back up to all fours.

352
00:16:20,820 --> 00:16:22,523
Curl the toes under

353
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:24,170
and Downward Facing Dog.

354
00:16:24,170 --> 00:16:26,510
Let's do it again.
Big inhale in through the nose.

355
00:16:28,010 --> 00:16:31,123
And release little horsey
lips out through the mouth.

356
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:33,620
(horse snorting)

357
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:35,126
Inhale in.

358
00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:38,930
Horsey lips on our love day.

359
00:16:38,930 --> 00:16:40,780
(horse snorting)

360
00:16:40,780 --> 00:16:42,381
One more time.

361
00:16:43,171 --> 00:16:44,800
(horse snorting)

362
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,730
Good, slowly lower to the knees.

363
00:16:47,730 --> 00:16:51,134
Swing the legs to one side.

364
00:16:51,134 --> 00:16:52,620
Then bring the soles
of the feet together.

365
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:54,920
You can sit up on your
blanket here if you like,

366
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,837
Cobbler's Pose.

367
00:16:56,837 --> 00:16:59,334
So every day is love day.

368
00:16:59,334 --> 00:17:03,441
It's just so great
to remember to have fun

369
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:07,891
and that while it is

370
00:17:07,891 --> 00:17:11,226
challenging to 
show up for yourself,

371
00:17:12,010 --> 00:17:15,697
and courageous to love
yourself for who you really are,

372
00:17:17,910 --> 00:17:20,910
it's not a chore.

373
00:17:20,910 --> 00:17:22,990
We don't have to
see it as a chore.

374
00:17:22,990 --> 00:17:26,310
That's why I call this a
journey and not a challenge.

375
00:17:26,310 --> 00:17:28,494
Doesn't mean
it's not challenging.

376
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,440
Grab the ankles or
the toes, your choice.

377
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,030
You can sneak in a little
foot massage as I am doing here.

378
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:40,560
Sit up nice and tall,
deep breath in.

379
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,550
Exhale, begin to lean forward.

380
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:45,100
Maybe elbows bend left to right.

381
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:48,160
So actively draw the
tops of the thighs down.

382
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,540
Try not round
through the spine here,

383
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:53,490
but keep a nice
beautiful line of integrity

384
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:55,730
from the crown through the neck

385
00:17:55,730 --> 00:17:58,885
all the way down
the torso to the tail.

386
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:04,000
And then here you are,

387
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,758
back at that pond looking down,

388
00:18:07,758 --> 00:18:09,611
your reflection.

389
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,487
Delighted

390
00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:22,868
by your own beauty.

391
00:18:31,050 --> 00:18:32,836
Take a deep breath in here.

392
00:18:33,890 --> 00:18:34,970
And then exhale,

393
00:18:34,970 --> 00:18:38,040
draw the chin to 
the chest and roll it up.

394
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,550
Recognizing your beauty,

395
00:18:42,550 --> 00:18:46,270
investing in a
relationship of loving yourself

396
00:18:46,270 --> 00:18:48,860
truly and deeply and sincerely

397
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:53,580
so that you can love others

398
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:57,524
in that way and see
others for who they truly are.

399
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,130
Let's bring the hands to
the outer edges of the legs.

400
00:19:01,130 --> 00:19:02,760
Let's bring the knees together.

401
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Now send the legs out in front.

402
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,560
You can stay on
top of your blanket.

403
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,170
Benji reveal.

404
00:19:08,170 --> 00:19:09,582
Ta-da.

405
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:13,020
Paschimottanasana.

406
00:19:13,020 --> 00:19:14,180
We're gonna flex the feet.

407
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:17,160
Heels are gonna be in
line with the hip points.

408
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,030
So a little bit of space.

409
00:19:19,030 --> 00:19:22,500
Inhale, reach for the sky,
sit up nice and tall.

410
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:26,020
Dandasana, we have this long,
beautiful line of integrity

411
00:19:26,020 --> 00:19:27,230
from crown to tail.

412
00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:29,280
And then bend your
knees if you need to.

413
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,560
We're gonna 
slowly shift forward.

414
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,238
Heart stays open towards
the front as long as possible.

415
00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:38,150
Maybe we reached the shins,

416
00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:41,391
the ankles, the toes,
the outer edges of the feet.

417
00:19:41,391 --> 00:19:42,990
Take a deep breath in here.

418
00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:44,650
Find a little more extension,

419
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:47,200
just play and then exhale,
round it through.

420
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,530
And you can bend the knees again

421
00:19:48,530 --> 00:19:50,690
as generously as you like here.

422
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:52,531
Now, close your eyes.

423
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,633
As you breathe in,

424
00:19:54,633 --> 00:19:58,753
feel the skin of
the back stretch.

425
00:20:00,487 --> 00:20:03,518
And as you breathe out,
feel it soften.

426
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,116
Relax the weight of the head.

427
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,700
An intimate moment with
the sound of your breath.

428
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:14,877
Listen.

429
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:30,270
And then begin to slowly
roll it up, nice and slow.

430
00:20:30,270 --> 00:20:32,030
Move like you love yourself.

431
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:34,130
Breathe like you love yourself.

432
00:20:34,130 --> 00:20:36,770
We say it all the time in
this beautiful community.

433
00:20:36,770 --> 00:20:38,100
We're gonna just, 
nice and easy,

434
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:41,758
take a little counter twist
to the left, nice and easy.

435
00:20:41,758 --> 00:20:44,352
And to the right.

436
00:20:44,352 --> 00:20:46,310
Hola Benji.

437
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:48,400
And then we're
gonna come our backs.

438
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,410
If you have a blanket,

439
00:20:49,410 --> 00:20:52,983
you might unravel it and
wrap up like a burrito today.

440
00:20:54,050 --> 00:20:57,161
Or you can bring it
underneath your head

441
00:20:57,161 --> 00:21:00,768
or the legs, of course.

442
00:21:00,768 --> 00:21:02,240
In an act of self love,

443
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,726
I'm gonna go burrito style.

444
00:21:07,410 --> 00:21:10,167
Tucking myself in,

445
00:21:10,167 --> 00:21:13,400
using this time in my practice

446
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,878
to learn how to
love myself, right?

447
00:21:19,930 --> 00:21:21,880
It's like, sometimes you
feel like you need something.

448
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,720
You're like, "Oh babe,
do this for me."

449
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,090
Or, "Why isn't this happening?"
Or, "They didn't think of me,"

450
00:21:26,090 --> 00:21:28,280
or when sometimes we can,

451
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,336
the nurturing we
seek is actually within,

452
00:21:31,336 --> 00:21:34,242
the attention and the love
we seek is actually within.

453
00:21:37,970 --> 00:21:39,565
Close your eyes.

454
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,778
Inhale, lots of love in.

455
00:21:47,530 --> 00:21:49,617
Exhale, lots of love out.

456
00:21:55,580 --> 00:21:59,950
Feel the earth rising
up to meet your back body

457
00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:04,086
and know that your
practice has your back.

458
00:22:09,709 --> 00:22:12,290
And so do I.

459
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:14,755
Thank you for
showing up here today.

460
00:22:17,410 --> 00:22:20,160
Look forward to
seeing you again tomorrow.

461
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,739
Until then,

462
00:22:24,140 --> 00:22:25,910
move like you love yourself.

463
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,907
Breathe like you love yourself.

464
00:22:32,705 --> 00:22:35,469
Keep an open mind, stay open

465
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,019
to the idea that you are love.

466
00:22:47,670 --> 00:22:50,155
Alright, slowly bring 
the palms together.

467
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,150
Palm to palm is
holy palmers' kiss.

468
00:22:54,150 --> 00:22:55,340
You might even open your eyes

469
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:58,100
and look at your
beautiful hands today.

470
00:22:58,100 --> 00:22:58,963
Let's do it.

471
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,410
Look at the backs of the hands.

472
00:23:01,410 --> 00:23:03,816
Look at the palms.

473
00:23:05,470 --> 00:23:06,910
And kiss them back together.

474
00:23:06,910 --> 00:23:09,150
Thumbs to third eye.

475
00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:11,105
Inhale lots of love in.

476
00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:13,760
Thanks for hanging with me.

477
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,944
Exhale lots of love out.

478
00:23:17,686 --> 00:23:19,474
Namaste.

479
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:26,374
(bright upbeat piano music)
