1
00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:03,480
(upbeat gentle music)

2
00:00:18,982 --> 00:00:20,324
- Hello, everyone.

3
00:00:20,324 --> 00:00:24,391
Welcome to Home, 
your 30-day yoga journey.

4
00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:26,850
I'm Adriene, this is Benji.

5
00:00:26,850 --> 00:00:29,442
And I am so excited

6
00:00:29,442 --> 00:00:33,133
because today is day zero.

7
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:35,969
Alright, so you can 
relax your shoulders now.

8
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:37,838
We're not doing any yoga today.

9
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:42,676
And this is really a 30-day yoga
journey tradition that we just

10
00:00:42,676 --> 00:00:46,446
take a moment before we 
begin tomorrow to connect

11
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:49,449
and collect ourselves.

12
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:51,285
And I just want 
to offer a few tips,

13
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:53,420
things that might help you
along the ride then we'll take a

14
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:57,591
couple deep breaths together
and then meet tomorrow for yoga.

15
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:01,194
So first thing's first, this is
like a little orientation video

16
00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:03,163
but this year, 
in light of our theme,

17
00:01:03,163 --> 00:01:06,704
it really is a heartfelt welcome

18
00:01:06,704 --> 00:01:09,937
from my home to yours but also,

19
00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:13,006
there is an invitation maybe
for you to just kind of feel,

20
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:15,388
you know, welcome 
yourself into this experience,

21
00:01:15,388 --> 00:01:18,312
feel that you've 
made this commitment.

22
00:01:18,312 --> 00:01:19,646
Right, so it's 
not just the doing.

23
00:01:19,646 --> 00:01:22,683
Sometimes it's like 
noticing how it makes you feel.

24
00:01:22,683 --> 00:01:25,919
So maybe you're kind of 
scared for the next 30 days.

25
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:27,521
You don't know how 
you're going to fit it in.

26
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:30,746
Maybe you're excited, 
you've really needed this,

27
00:01:30,746 --> 00:01:33,994
you know, kind of accountability
to show up for yourself.

28
00:01:33,994 --> 00:01:35,696
So whatever's 
bringing you to the mat,

29
00:01:35,696 --> 00:01:38,365
we're gonna really kind of
uncover in the first couple of

30
00:01:38,365 --> 00:01:39,333
days of our practice.

31
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:42,402
But you can get ahead of the
game by just thinking about

32
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:44,834
welcoming yourself back home.

33
00:01:44,834 --> 00:01:48,241
You can imagine rolling out a
little welcome mat and placing

34
00:01:48,241 --> 00:01:50,277
your feet on it, 
feeling the texture,

35
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:52,279
brushing it off.

36
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:55,075
I was an only child and I was
a theater kid so forgive me.

37
00:01:55,075 --> 00:01:56,850
And you know, 
we're getting ready to step

38
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:00,020
inside to see 
what that feels like.

39
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:02,155
So you can start 
to kind of just get,

40
00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:04,224
you know, get 
those feelings going,

41
00:02:04,224 --> 00:02:06,827
be open to 
noticing those feelings.

42
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:08,996
Like, why am I really doing this

43
00:02:08,996 --> 00:02:11,698
and what am 
I really doing this for?

44
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:13,734
In addition, there are some
other practical things that

45
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:18,805
might be helpful as you set off
on this journey home and that is

46
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:22,142
that you might want 
to wear comfy clothes.

47
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:25,045
I encourage people, especially
with at-home yoga practice,

48
00:02:25,045 --> 00:02:28,515
to wear clothes that you can
move in that you really feel

49
00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:30,584
kind of comfortable in, right?

50
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:32,572
Not too constricted.

51
00:02:32,572 --> 00:02:34,388
Something you feel good in.

52
00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:37,791
So plan it out if you 
need to pull some old clothes.

53
00:02:37,791 --> 00:02:39,659
You don't need 
any fancy clothes,

54
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,229
just something comfy 
that you can move in.

55
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:44,698
In addition, if you
have a yoga mat, bring it.

56
00:02:44,698 --> 00:02:45,399
We'll use it.

57
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:49,636
If you do not, you can practice
this program on a hard surface.

58
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:53,840
There will be some days where 
I invite you to bring a towel or

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,237
a blanket, something that you
can sit up on or pad the knees.

60
00:02:57,237 --> 00:02:59,146
Again, you don't 
need anything fancy.

61
00:02:59,146 --> 00:03:01,715
A bath towel will do.
A beach towel is great.

62
00:03:01,715 --> 00:03:05,118
If you have a yoga blanket,
awesome but just something to

63
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:07,054
sit up on or pad the knees.

64
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:08,321
Then there will be some days,

65
00:03:08,321 --> 00:03:10,924
not a lot so don't get
too excited, just kidding,

66
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:12,459
where I'll invite 
you to bring a pillow.

67
00:03:12,459 --> 00:03:14,795
And same thing, just 
grab a pillow off the couch.

68
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:15,996
Grab a pillow off your bed.

69
00:03:15,996 --> 00:03:19,366
If you don't have a pillow, you
can use that blanket or towel

70
00:03:19,366 --> 00:03:22,421
that will suffice 
just as well. Alright?

71
00:03:22,421 --> 00:03:25,572
So just a little reminder,
no experience necessary,

72
00:03:25,572 --> 00:03:27,474
no prerequisite.

73
00:03:27,474 --> 00:03:30,977
This is designed for us,
all of us,

74
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:35,382
to come together as we are
and uncover and see what we can

75
00:03:35,382 --> 00:03:39,619
discover about ourselves
that's already there, right?

76
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:42,959
So we may be coming to 
this program wanting to,

77
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:45,125
you know, trim and 
tone the body, you will.

78
00:03:45,125 --> 00:03:46,563
You're gonna get strong.

79
00:03:46,563 --> 00:03:49,796
You may be coming to this
program because you want to heal

80
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:52,065
something that's 
been aching you.

81
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:55,335
Maybe you will but there is
also this really beautiful

82
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:58,872
opportunity that comes with
this amazing Yoga With Adriene

83
00:03:58,872 --> 00:04:01,908
community and that 
is to recognize that

84
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:03,210
you are not alone.

85
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:06,680
That there is usually someone
out there experiencing

86
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,448
something similar to you.

87
00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:11,551
So keep that in mind as you go
along and let that inspire you

88
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:15,889
to engage in the comments or
the conversation on whatever

89
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:18,225
platform suits you best.

90
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:21,928
Alright, so wherever you are,
if you're laying in bed with the

91
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:26,733
laptop on your lap or if you're
sitting on the couch or maybe

92
00:04:26,733 --> 00:04:29,169
you're on your mat,
wherever you are,

93
00:04:29,169 --> 00:04:31,772
I'd like to invite you to

94
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:34,808
just lengthen up through the 
spine so you can sit up tall.

95
00:04:34,808 --> 00:04:37,511
If you're laying down, 
snuggle your shoulders down,

96
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:39,532
away from your ears.

97
00:04:39,532 --> 00:04:43,049
We're gonna take three deep
breaths and then that's it.

98
00:04:43,049 --> 00:04:46,887
We'll close today's practice and

99
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:51,591
I will see you tomorrow 
for our official first day.

100
00:04:52,499 --> 00:04:53,860
So wherever you are, 
relax your shoulders,

101
00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:55,829
maybe sit up tall.

102
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:57,531
You can close your eyes 
if you're feeling brave.

103
00:04:57,531 --> 00:04:59,833
Trust me.
Trust yourself.

104
00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:01,768
Trust this process.

105
00:05:03,603 --> 00:05:05,605
And we'll take a 
deep breath in together.

106
00:05:07,741 --> 00:05:10,027
And exhale out 
through the nose or mouth.

107
00:05:11,378 --> 00:05:12,786
Are you doing it with me?
Come on.

108
00:05:12,786 --> 00:05:14,948
Here we go.
Big inhale.

109
00:05:16,883 --> 00:05:19,352
Check it out, big exhale.

110
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:20,954
And whatever this means 
to you on this last one,

111
00:05:20,954 --> 00:05:23,428
just surprise yourself.
Here we go. Big inhale.

112
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:27,727
And big exhale.

113
00:05:29,529 --> 00:05:30,197
Awesome.

114
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:32,232
Thank you so much for 
saying yes to this journey.

115
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:34,473
I can't wait to 
see what happens.

116
00:05:34,473 --> 00:05:37,704
Myself, for me and for 
you and for us together.

117
00:05:37,704 --> 00:05:40,493
I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow, Day 1.

118
00:05:40,493 --> 00:05:43,719
Take good care 
from my home to yours.

119
00:05:43,719 --> 00:05:45,170
Namaste.

120
00:05:46,505 --> 00:05:50,741
(upbeat relaxing music)
