- What's up everyone,
welcome to Yoga with Adriene.

I'm Adriene, and we
have an awesome practice

here for you today.

This is a response to a request
for that beach body yoga.

You asked for it, 
you're gonna get it.

But we're gonna go at it
mindfully, really blanket ourselves

in self-love, 
accept where you are today,

get a little heat 
going in the body,

trim, tone but also make
sure that we're being

really kind to ourselves
and really loving because

that's what matters most, right?

That's where the real
transformation comes from.

All right, so hop 
into something comfy

and let's get started.

(uplifting music)

Welcome my friend.

Let's start standing at
the top of your yoga mat,

palms pressing together,
heart center anjali mudra.

Close your eyes, feel
your feet on the earth.

Lift your sternum 
to your thumbs.

Relax the shoulders down and
begin to notice your breath.

(relaxing music)

Gently draw the 
chin to the chest,

draw the head to the heart

tuning into this moment,
accepting where you are today.

And gently release the
fingertips, lift the chin

and inhale, 
squeeze shoulders to ears.

Exhale, drop them down.

Two more, squeeze and
lift as you breathe in.

And exhale, relax and down.

One more time, squeezing and
then releasing on the exhale.

Beautiful.

Soften the knees and 
when you're ready,

inhale, reach for the sky.

Imagine you're carrying a
big beach ball overhead here,

so give yourself lots of space.

Inhale, lift the heart.

Reach and exhale, bend
the elbows, thumbs back,

pinkies forward.

Inhale, reach for the sky.

And exhale, forward fold.

Take your time here.

Find what feels good, 
clasp the elbows,

shake the head 
a little side to side.

Maybe gently walk the fingertips
to one side then the other.

Bend the knees as 
generously as you need.

And when you're ready, 
release the arms

and inhale, draw the palms
all the way up to the tops

of the thighs.

Loops the shoulders 
back and find length

from the crown of the head
of the tip of the tailbone.

Draw the navel in, inhale.

Exhale, fold.

Let's explore that again.

Inhale, this time palms to shins.

Loop the shoulders back.

Draw the navel up 
towards the spine.

Lengthen through the neck.

Breath in and exhale fold.

This time, fingers on the earth.

We inhale, loop the
shoulders, find the length,

kind of an ashtangi version here.

And on an exhale, release.

One more, this time inhale.

Connecting to your center, 
lift the heels.

Draw the navel inward and
upward, uddiyana bandha,

and on an exhale, release.

Great job.

Inhale, sweep the arms up
and overhead, big stretch.

Big stretch.

And exhale, bend the elbows.

Thumbs back, pinkies forward.

Inhale, reach.

Exhale, fold.

Inhale, lengthen, find that
flat back, your version.

Exhale, fold.

Plant the palms, 
step back to plank.

A couple of deep breaths here.

Press away from your yoga mat.

Keep that length 
from crown to tail.

Then when you're ready,
slowly lower the knees down,

hug the elbows into 
the side body,

keep that length as 
you slowly lower down.

Cobra, inhale to 
open your heart.

Exhale to release.

Inhale to plank, and exhale,

navel to spine as you send
it back downward facing dog.

Pedal to the feet.

And when you're ready, 
drop the left heel and inhale,

lift the right leg up high.

Take a moment to work it out,
maybe stack the hips, open it.

And then here we go,
connecting to our center,

we'll squeeze knee to nose.

Inhale, three-legged dog.

And exhale, release.

Switch sides.

Inhale, lift the left leg up high.

Take a second, 
stack the hips, open up.

And we'll bring it back 
and knee to nose.

Draw the navel up.

Inhale, three-legged dog.

And exhale, release, down dog.

Deep breath in.

Big exhale out 
through the mouth.

Make your way 
to the top, take your time.

Move with ease, 
move with your breath.

Inhale lifts you 
up halfway; exhale, fold.

Root to rise.

Inhale, reach for the sky.

And exhale, bending the elbows.

Inhale, reach; exhale, fold,

finding something new each time.

Inhale, halfway lift, your version.

Exhale, soften and bow.

Plant the palm, 
step it back to plank

and this time you can
lower the knees or not.

Lowering down belly 
to cobra or chaturanga

to upward facing dog.

Move with your breath,

find your rhythm, 
we'll meet in down dog.

Here we go, inhale, lift
the right leg up high.

Exhale, knee to nose.

This time, 
step the right foot up,

lower the back knee down.

We'll find a nice low
lunge here as we pull

the right hip crease back and
reach the fingertips up high.

Big beach ball over the head.

Inhale in, open the chest.

And on an exhale, 
raining it down.

Lift the back knee,
connect to your center.

Inhale, open up to a
twist, right fingertips

towards the sky, lengthen
through the neck,

through the crown.

On an exhale, we bring it back.

a flow that suits you.

Again, work to find your rhythm.

We'll meet in down dog.

Step it up, lower the 
right knee down

and take your time

overhead, big beach ball.

Lots of space.

Inhale, lift your heart, smile.

And on an exhale, 
rain it down.

Plant the right palm.

When you're ready, pull
that left hip crease back.

Left fingertips up towards the sky.

Breathing deep here.

Long, beautiful neck.

And exhale, release.

Plant the palm, step it back

and you go with the flow.

In downward dog, take a
deep breath in and exhale,

sigh it out.

Inhale, look forward.

On the exhale, 
make your way to the top.

And exhale, thumbs back, 
pinkies forward.

Inhale, reach; 
exhale, forward fold.

This time, 
bend the knees generously.

Pull both hip creases back.

Feet are together.

And when you're ready, left
fingertips come right down

in front of your gaze and we're
gonna open right fingertips

to the sky.

Keep that, 
lengthen the crown, inhale.

And on an exhale, bring it back,

right fingertips replace
the left and inhale

as if you were pulling
a bow and arrow back.

Reach left fingertips 
up towards the sky.

Big breath in, you got this.

Exhale, back down you go.

Forward fold.

And exhale, 
big twist to the right.

Left tricep to the outer edge
of that right thigh bone.

Strong in the back leg.

You can always

as you grow your practice.

Lift it up whenever you're ready.

Option here to open up the arms.

Keep length from crown to tail.

Awesome.

Inhale in, exhale, release.

Step the back foot up halfway.

Pyramid pose, 
straightening both legs,

Lots of space.

Exhale, moving into your twist.

Outer edge of the right
arm against the outer edge

Great, step that back

Peaceful warrior.

And exhale, all the
way back to your lunge.

Really nice work.

We'll pivot on the back foot,

and here we go, inhale.

Standing splits, 
or as I like to call it,

standing one legged 
forward fold.

So think uttanasana 
on that front leg.

Lift from the left inner thigh.

Left toes point down.

Keep breathing here.

We're gonna soften 
through that left knee,

bend that left knee and slowly
lift it up through center.

Reach the arms up and overhead,

standing one legged
tadasana, you got this.

Stay connected to your core.

Inhale, and exhale,

arm underneath your right,

garudasana arms.

Inhale, lift the elbows up high.

Beautiful,

Moving with the breath,
inhale, peaceful warrior,

reach fingertips forward, 
up and back.

Create space.

On an exhale, 
extended side angle.

Maintain that length 
from crown to tail.

Keep energy in the right inner thigh.

Peaceful warrior one more
time, moving with your breath,

just nice, long, 
smooth, deep breaths.

Inhale and exhale, cartwheeling
all the way back down

to your lunge, awesome work.

Pivot on the back foot, 
standing splits

whenever you're ready.

Working to keep the
inner thighs engaged,

the toes full of energy.

Hips are leveled here so
you're really thinking about

bringing your right inner
thigh up towards the sky.

Maintain nice control of
the breath, strong focus.

Here we go bringing the
right knee in nice and slow,

all the way up.

Fingertips reach 
towards the sky,

standing one legged tadasana.

Big beach ball overhead.

Squeeze right knee up and in
and, on an exhale, release.

Inhale, reach, maybe
slight back bend here.

And exhale, 
hands to heart, namaste.

Awesome work, take a moment
here to loop the shoulders,

close your eyes, cool it
down, observe your breath.

When you're ready, step
or hop the feet as wide

as your yoga mat, and then turn
your toes out left to right

so they're spilling off the map.

Inhale, reach for the heavens.

And exhale, down you go,
have some fun, keep it light.

We're coming into 
our yogic squat.

Some love for the hips
here, keep a nice awareness

in the head, the neck.

Press into all four 
corners of the feet,

and if the heels don't 
come down, no prob,

you can keep them lifted here.

Then stay here, or if
you have a crow practice

or want to practice vakasana, 
now would be

a great chance to do that,
bringing the toes together,

sending the gaze forward.

Your practice thus far has
really prepped you nicely

for vakasana, but be sure
to keep your gaze forward,

navel drawing up.

You can also just 
stay in yogic squat.

So a little bit of play
time for you to either

give some love to the hips

or work on your arm balance.

When you're satisfied, 
we'll meet by slowly bringing

the fingertips behind
us and coming to sit.

When you're ready,
extend the legs out long,

maybe give them a little shake.

We'll bring the right
knee up towards the chest,

swing the right 
fingertips behind.

Check in with the neck.

Make sure there's 
no added tension there.

Sometimes in the 
powerful practice,

we can create some 
tension in the neck.

And then when you're ready,
just switch to the other side,

same little twists.

Sit up nice and tall,
check in with the neck.

Breath, big breathes all the
way down into your diaphragm,

into your belly.

Awesome. Then when 
you're ready, release.

We'll bring both knees
up, feet on the ground.

Bring the hands behind
the backs of the thighs.

Loop the shoulders, 
lift your heart,

stay there or slowly lift the
shins parallel to the sky.

Stay there or reach the
fingertips forward, palms up.

Lift your heart, 
plug the shoulders back.

Here we go, inhale,
reach the fingertips up.

Exhale, twist to the right as you extend

through the left leg.

Inhale, up to center,

exhale to the left

so palms can 
be together, namaste

or you can separate 
them and pretend like

you're holding Simba.

I'm gonna take Simba off
the ledge literally there,

have some fun with it.

Inhale, up to center.

Exhale, you twist.

Keep going.

Try to maintain 
that lift in the heart.

This is so great for the core
strength, for the back body.

You got it, keep it going.

And if you need to back
off a little bit, you can.

No worries.

Stay present, smile.

And here we go, 
two more on each side.

Now one more in 
each side, stick with it.

And release.

Oh, one of my 
favorite yoga poses here,

arms resting on the
knees, just bow the head.

And when you're ready, 
coming to lie down.

Interlace the fingertips,

bring them behind 
the head and go ahead

and extend the thumbs.

Begin to give yourself
a little massage there,

releasing any tension, 
should feel good.

When you're ready, let the
knees fall heavy to the right.

If you need more, cross the
right ankle over the top

of the left thigh here,
then close your eyes

and big breaths to 
find some release.

And take it to the other
side whenever you're ready.

And again, if you need a
little more, you can cross

the left ankle over the
top of the right thigh.

Breathe deep.

Massaging the back of the neck.

And then release.

All right, keep the knees
bent, heels on the ground.

Inhale, lift the head,
the neck, the shoulders;

and then exhale, 
lift the shins parallel.

Yogi bicycles.

Slow and mindful.

Right knee to right elbows,
you extend the right leg.

And then exhale, twist.

Inhale to center; exhale, twist.

Inhale to center; exhale, twist.

Keep it going.

Scoop the tailbone up,
draw the navel down.

Try to keep the elbows
wide as you come to center,

cultivating strength, you're
so awesome, so strong.

Let's do two more.

And now one more on
each side, you got this.

And we rock!

Release.

Supta baddha konasana,
recline to cobbler's pose,

take your hands to your
belly, give them a little pet.

Soles of the feet 
come together here,

knees nice and wide.

Ahhh, then when you're
ready, bring the left hand

to the heart and the right
hand gently to the belly.

Awesome work today.

Allow your breath to return
to its natural rhythm

and take a solid moment
to appreciate your body.

When you're ready, we'll
release the fingertips

to the outer edges of the legs,

bringing the knees together.

Lift the toes, squeeze.

Knees up towards the chest,
give yourself a big hug.

Then bring the palms to the
knees and reach the toes

towards the front edge.

Should feel really 
good in the back body.

And then whenever you're
ready, roll it up.

On an inhale, squeeze, 
shoulders to ears.

And exhale, drop them down.

Inhale, squeeze and lift.

Exhale, let it go.

Last one, big squeeze.

And exhale, release.

Just take a quick moment
here to close your eyes

and experience stillness.

Once again, give thanks 
for this moment.

And gently bat 
the eyelashes open.

Inhale, lots of love in.

And exhale, lots of love out.
