1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,879
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:06,034 --> 00:00:07,488
- Alright, my friends, 
let's begin

3
00:00:07,488 --> 00:00:12,012
in a nice power stance 
today to boost our spirits,

4
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,714
boost our confidence.

5
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:16,750
Nice wide stance, just 
a little bit wider than

6
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:21,021
hip width apart, and then strap
your boots on, just kidding,

7
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:23,924
but lift up through the front
body, and ground through

8
00:00:23,924 --> 00:00:27,561
the back body, so we're 
actively lifting up through

9
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:31,832
the chest, and actively 
relaxing, down anchoring down

10
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:35,158
through the fingertips, 
through the shoulder blades,

11
00:00:35,158 --> 00:00:37,261
and then just check 
out where your pelvis is

12
00:00:37,261 --> 00:00:41,168
in that as well, 
just have an awareness.

13
00:00:41,168 --> 00:00:45,212
Okay, so maybe you lift up as
if you had little headlights

14
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:47,481
on your hips maybe you lift
up towards the sky, and then

15
00:00:47,481 --> 00:00:48,973
just lengthen the tailbone down.

16
00:00:48,973 --> 00:00:51,211
Just feel it out, no right or
wrong here, just connecting

17
00:00:51,211 --> 00:00:55,081
to the energy of the body as
we stand up nice and tall.

18
00:00:56,086 --> 00:00:59,840
And send some 
awareness out to all parts.

19
00:01:01,495 --> 00:01:04,809
And then we're trying to walk
off the mat in five minutes

20
00:01:04,809 --> 00:01:08,666
and feel like we're one 
part again, one moving part.

21
00:01:08,666 --> 00:01:11,265
So, we'll bend the knees and
inhale, reach for the sky,

22
00:01:11,265 --> 00:01:15,609
just spread your fingertips
and really stretch the arms.

23
00:01:15,609 --> 00:01:17,388
So really really reach 
energetically, all the way up,

24
00:01:17,388 --> 00:01:20,180
and then exhale, 
float it down.

25
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:21,866
And see if you can take 
up even more space here,

26
00:01:21,866 --> 00:01:23,063
bend the knees, inhale,

27
00:01:23,063 --> 00:01:26,912
spread the fingertips, 
and exhale,

28
00:01:28,322 --> 00:01:29,523
floating down.

29
00:01:29,523 --> 00:01:32,649
Couple more times, 
inhale, nice fresh breath in,

30
00:01:32,649 --> 00:01:34,494
feel your feet on the earth,

31
00:01:35,663 --> 00:01:38,465
and exhale, let go of anything
that's been bugging you

32
00:01:38,465 --> 00:01:40,814
or bringing you 
down, just let it go.

33
00:01:40,814 --> 00:01:44,871
And one more time, big inhale,
reach up overhead fingertips

34
00:01:44,871 --> 00:01:49,843
kiss, and then exhale, 
release again, allowing anything

35
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:53,113
that's not serving you, let it
go, all right, and then we're

36
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:55,716
slowly begin to 
check in with the neck,

37
00:01:55,716 --> 00:01:58,310
by nodding the head no.

38
00:02:00,554 --> 00:02:02,042
And try to keep 
that lift in the heart,

39
00:02:02,042 --> 00:02:06,927
that grounding through the
back, and then yes, yes, I will

40
00:02:06,927 --> 00:02:09,096
rise to my full potential.

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,952
Fabulous.

42
00:02:11,952 --> 00:02:13,550
Bring the head back 
to center stillness,

43
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,205
hands come to the waistline,

44
00:02:15,205 --> 00:02:17,392
and then we take this power
pose a little bit further,

45
00:02:17,392 --> 00:02:21,329
by looping the shoulders around
and back, so we're literally

46
00:02:21,329 --> 00:02:24,218
going to anchor the shoulder
blades down the back body

47
00:02:24,218 --> 00:02:27,147
you can have some fun with it,
and then lift your toes

48
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:29,750
and press the feet 
away from the earth.

49
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:31,999
So you're trying to create 
this little rebound effect

50
00:02:31,999 --> 00:02:34,825
with the feet.

51
00:02:34,825 --> 00:02:36,991
And then take your thumbs to
the back and then just play

52
00:02:36,991 --> 00:02:40,048
with that pelvic tilt again,
finding that lift up through

53
00:02:40,048 --> 00:02:42,587
the front body, and 
then I think it's nice to use

54
00:02:42,587 --> 00:02:45,343
the thumbs to kind of 
press down and find that length

55
00:02:45,343 --> 00:02:48,229
through the back body, so
we're balancing polarities here

56
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:52,440
using the body as a 
tool to feel it out.

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,174
Inhale, nice power pose here,
draw the elbows back towards

58
00:02:56,174 --> 00:02:58,879
each other, notice 
how this makes you feel.

59
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,866
Inhale, and then exhale,
soft bend in the knees as you

60
00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:07,627
take your heart forward, and
slowly we're going to come

61
00:03:07,627 --> 00:03:09,600
all the way 
down to Forward Fold,

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,075
but take your 
time, and again keep

63
00:03:11,075 --> 00:03:15,781
bend in the knees, eventually
the fingertips will reach

64
00:03:15,781 --> 00:03:18,031
down towards the earth, whether
they touch the ground or not

65
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:22,021
no big deal, and then we're
going to turn the toes out

66
00:03:22,021 --> 00:03:23,507
and we're just going to 
keep a soft bend in the knees

67
00:03:23,507 --> 00:03:25,772
and swing side to side, 
stretching through the upper

68
00:03:25,772 --> 00:03:29,960
back body, you can do figure
eights with the fingertips,

69
00:03:31,290 --> 00:03:35,390
I'd like to ask you to 
activate the breath here.

70
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:40,554
Little gorilla pose, 
strong in the legs, waking up

71
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,384
the feet, the calves,

72
00:03:42,384 --> 00:03:45,191
the muscles of 
the thighs, the quads,

73
00:03:45,191 --> 00:03:47,211
stretching through 
the hamstrings,

74
00:03:47,211 --> 00:03:51,045
activating through the glutes,

75
00:03:51,045 --> 00:03:53,533
and the lower back body, 
the upper back body,

76
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:57,137
and then finally let 
the weight of the head go,

77
00:03:57,137 --> 00:04:02,042
as you swing and sway, 
side to side, one more breath,

78
00:04:02,042 --> 00:04:04,978
here, you got it, 
stick with it, don't give up,

79
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:06,746
and then release, awesome.

80
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:09,006
Come back to center, 
you're going to walk the feet

81
00:04:09,006 --> 00:04:12,850
right underneath you now, so
it's one solid standing post

82
00:04:12,850 --> 00:04:18,331
here, squeeze the legs together,
bend the knees and roll it up.

83
00:04:18,331 --> 00:04:22,603
And as you roll up, really
feel your feet on the earth.

84
00:04:22,603 --> 00:04:27,624
Draw energy up from the arches,
the inner thighs,

85
00:04:27,624 --> 00:04:31,843
lift up through the front body, 
ground through the back body,

86
00:04:31,843 --> 00:04:36,943
and roll up, rise up strong, 
feel the blood flow.

87
00:04:38,121 --> 00:04:39,246
Fresh.

88
00:04:43,186 --> 00:04:45,306
Beautiful, and here we go,
we're going to walk it out,

89
00:04:45,306 --> 00:04:46,854
so keep the energy up here,

90
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:48,983
even if you're still 
feeling a little tired,

91
00:04:48,983 --> 00:04:50,782
see if you can 
draw energy up from the

92
00:04:50,782 --> 00:04:53,433
pelvic floor up through
the midline even more.

93
00:04:53,433 --> 00:04:55,896
So nice and slow, again,
continuing to wake up through

94
00:04:55,896 --> 00:04:58,055
the hamstrings, and we're 
going to touch opposite

95
00:04:58,055 --> 00:05:00,834
fingertips to opposite 
toes, you can keep that knee

96
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:03,637
bent as much as you want, 
or if you're going for more

97
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:08,208
flexibility today, you'll try
to keep length in the leg,

98
00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:10,107
so this will be a 
little different for everyone.

99
00:05:10,107 --> 00:05:13,046
So we're starting to 
wake up more muscles here.

100
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:14,561
Maybe get the heart rate 
going a little bit,

101
00:05:14,561 --> 00:05:18,955
welcome a little heat, allow 
this to effect your breath,

102
00:05:18,955 --> 00:05:22,055
and allow your breath 
to guide the movement.

103
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:24,839
So we're marrying the 
movement and the breath

104
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,778
in any way you see fit.

105
00:05:27,778 --> 00:05:30,744
Just pay attention to 
your breath, basically.

106
00:05:30,744 --> 00:05:33,925
Alright, then, 
even it out here,

107
00:05:33,925 --> 00:05:35,135
and now we bend the knee

108
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:38,004
opposite elbow to opposite knee.

109
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:40,497
And you can work on a 
contraction in your abs here,

110
00:05:40,497 --> 00:05:42,531
this is our last bit, 
so give it your all,

111
00:05:42,531 --> 00:05:45,045
stand up nice and tall.

112
00:05:49,647 --> 00:05:52,152
Ooh, my glutes are 
sore from something else,

113
00:05:52,152 --> 00:05:54,643
I can feel it, nice.

114
00:05:54,643 --> 00:05:57,278
All right, keep it going.

115
00:05:57,278 --> 00:06:00,911
See if you can be 
light on your feet,


116
00:06:00,911 --> 00:06:04,695
and keep your heart lifted.

117
00:06:04,695 --> 00:06:09,271
Alright, beautiful, 
even it out.

118
00:06:09,271 --> 00:06:11,333
And then release.

119
00:06:11,333 --> 00:06:15,558
Open the palms, 
bring the feet together, inhale.

120
00:06:17,007 --> 00:06:19,176
And exhale, Mountain Pose.

121
00:06:22,436 --> 00:06:26,407
Nice work, inhale, draw 
the hands at your heart,

122
00:06:27,245 --> 00:06:30,493
and exhale, bow the head,

123
00:06:31,388 --> 00:06:35,559
mind intelligence, body
intelligence, coming together.

124
00:06:37,314 --> 00:06:41,485
Sweet bat the eyelashes open,
and have an awesome day.

125
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:44,510
(upbeat music)
