body. 27 00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:40,834 So really relishing in the idea 28 00:01:42,049 --> 00:01:44,271 of the at-home yoga practice. 29 00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:45,429 There's nothing like it. 30 00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:49,176 You can feel cozy and this idea 31 00:01:49,176 --> 00:01:52,412 or this feeling of being at home, 32 00:01:54,314 --> 00:01:56,717 and if that brings up some sort of, you know, 33 00:01:56,717 --> 00:02:00,206 less than happy thought, just lean in, breath deep, 34 00:02:00,206 --> 00:02:02,271 I got your back. 35 00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:07,160 Gently begin to deepen your breath. 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,600 Feel the warmth of your hands on your belly. 37 00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,767 And a lotta folks, not everyone, 38 00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:15,936 but will

but also breathing deep down into the belly 42 00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:30,536 with love and kindness, no toxic thoughts. 43 00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:36,256 And nice and slow, you're gonna begin to rock the head 44 00:02:36,256 --> 00:02:39,615 gently side to side, ear to ear, 45 00:02:40,761 --> 00:02:43,930 and try to keep a soft gaze or your eyes closed, 46 00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:46,299 at least for the first beat of this practice. 47 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,476 You can listen to the sound of my voice 48 00:02:51,355 --> 00:02:53,373 and let it guide you. 49 00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:56,610 So, we're massaging the back of the head, 50 00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:58,991 starting to stretch through the neck, 51 00:02:58,991 --> 00:03:01,214 and just arrive here. 52 00:03:01,214 --> 00:03:03,383 If you're doing this with other people, 53 00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:06,494 you can say hello as you turn to one side 54 00:03:06,494 --> 00:03:09,823 and hello as you turn to the other, say, what's up. 55 00:03:09,823 --> 00:03:11,812 I'll say hi to Benji, hey buddy. 56 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,230 Okay, and then even it out and come back to center, 57 00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:19,666 and we're gonna take a nice full body stretch. 58 00:03:19,666 --> 00:03:22,369 To do that, press into your heels, 59 00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:24,327 toes up towards the sky, 60 00:03:24,327 --> 00:03:28,442 and reach the fingertips all the way up behind you, 61 00:03:28,442 --> 00:03:31,611 big full body stretch, totally getting Benji here, 62 00:03:32,913 --> 00:03:35,816 and then point the toes, take a deep breath in, 63 00:03:37,651 --> 00:03:40,320 and then rotate the ankles one way and then the other 64 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,708 and the wrists one way and then the other. 65 00:03:45,292 --> 00:03:49,129 And wherever you are, again, just take in your surroundings 66 00:03:50,464 --> 00:03:53,100 and trust that everything is as it should be. 67 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,534 Home is where the heart is. 68 00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:59,269 Your at-home yoga practice can go anywhere, and we 69 00:04:02,392 --> 00:04:03,877 can maybe use this opportunity 70 00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:05,712 to just tap into gratitude again. 71 00:04:07,747 --> 00:04:09,916 I don't know about you, but I feel quite blessed 72 00:04:09,916 --> 00:04:13,954 and even when I kind of struggle, 73 00:04:13,954 --> 00:04:17,923 I can return to this feeling and it can pick me up, 74 00:04:17,923 --> 00:04:19,226 and speaking of a pick-me-up, 75 00:04:19,226 --> 00:04:21,060 we're gonna bring the palms to the earth 76 00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:23,622 and slowly bend one knee and then the other. 77 00:04:25,169 --> 00:04:28,335 And then walk your heels up towards your seat. 78 00:04:28,335 --> 00:04:30,103 Fingertips are gonna reach down, 79 00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:33,226 and then press into all four corners of the feet, 80 00:04:33,226 --> 00:04:35,809 toes pointing forward, and you're gonna inhale, 81 00:04:35,809 --> 00:04:37,307 lift the hip points up. 82 00:04:37,307 --> 00:04:38,512 You don't have to go super high, 83 00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:39,613 just keep it nice and easy 84 00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:42,115 and maybe open the palms as you lift up. 85 00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:44,417 Knees squeeze in so they're not splaying out, 86 00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:45,252 and then exhale, 87 00:04:45,252 --> 00:04:47,921 get a little massage on your spine as you lower down. 88 00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,525 Alright, and now with the breath, big inhale, 89 00:04:51,525 --> 00:04:55,695 reach it up, hips up towards the sky, shins forward. 90 00:04:55,695 --> 00:04:58,632 Chin to chest first and then chin to the sky. 91 00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:02,150 Nice and then slowly lower, 92 00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:07,174 and then try to make this one kind of yummy, soft, fluid. 93 00:05:07,174 --> 00:05:09,743 Strong foundation in the feet, here we go, 94 00:05:09,743 --> 00:05:11,741 inhale, lift it up. 95 00:05:11,741 --> 00:05:13,446 Maybe on this one, you stay up there 96 00:05:13,446 --> 00:05:16,683 and find a reach of the fingertips up and over the head, 97 00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:19,085 big stretch, shins forward, 98 00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:22,455 and then exhale, float it all the way down. 99 00:05:22,455 --> 00:05:24,491 Rain it down with the fingertips. 100 00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:27,861 Beautiful, now press into the feet, 101 00:05:27,861 --> 00:05:30,063 and you're gonna send the hips to one side of your mat, 102 00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:31,431 any side, you pick, 103 00:05:31,431 --> 00:05:33,433 and then you're gonna come into a little fetal position 104 00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:36,369 as you continue to turn onto your side, 105 00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:38,405 and then really hug the knees up towards the chest. 106 00:05:38,405 --> 00:05:42,609 So, we're getting our spinal flection here 107 00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:45,879 by doing the Bridge lifts and now a little fetal position, 108 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:49,182 so imagine all that space between each vertebra. 109 00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:52,285 If you have a hoodie on, now would be a good time 110 00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:53,794 to go ahead and embrace it, 111 00:05:53,794 --> 00:05:55,155 and then you're gonna take your bottom arm, 112 00:05:55,155 --> 00:05:58,925 whatever arm's on the bottom, imagine that, 113 00:05:58,925 --> 00:06:00,994 and you're gonna bend it, bend at the elbow, 114 00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:02,896 and create a little pillow for yourself, 115 00:06:03,797 --> 00:06:06,666 and then maybe you find that you can hug the knees 116 00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:09,136 up towards the chest a little more, 117 00:06:09,136 --> 00:06:12,672 and then just allow the top arm to rest. 118 00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:16,122 You're gonna close your eyes 119 00:06:16,122 --> 00:06:18,966 and you're gonna take five 120 00:06:18,966 --> 00:06:21,948 nice, long deep breaths in and out. 121 00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:25,960 Close your eyes, five breath cycles. 122 00:06:27,754 --> 00:06:30,657 (deeply breathing) 123 00:06:48,118 --> 00:06:50,543 And after you do about five breath cycles, 124 00:06:50,543 --> 00:06:54,064 you're gonna use your top hand to press into the earth 125 00:06:54,064 --> 00:06:57,083 and then you're gonna slowly lift your heart, 126 00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:59,252 nice and slow, use the bottom hand 127 00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:04,247 to help press you all the up to a nice cross-legged seat. 128 00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:07,460 And when you get here, 129 00:07:07,460 --> 00:07:09,562 you can move the fleshy part of the buttocks aside 130 00:07:09,562 --> 00:07:11,064 if that's your thing. 131 00:07:11,064 --> 00:07:14,534 You can keep the hoodie on or take it off. 132 00:07:16,136 --> 00:07:17,304 If I was just doing this on my own, 133 00:07:17,304 --> 00:07:18,938 I would definitely keep the hoodie on. 134 00:07:19,890 --> 00:07:21,474 And we're gonna sit up nice and tall. 135 00:07:21,474 --> 00:07:24,428 Hands come together at the heart, 136 00:07:24,428 --> 00:07:26,479 and we tap into a little inner smile here, 137 00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:30,369 so if this is a new concept for you, give it a go. 138 00:07:30,369 --> 00:07:32,385 Try not to define it or figure it out, 139 00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:34,621 just that feeling of an inner smile. 140 00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:37,357 You can even lift the corners of the mouth just slightly. 141 00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:42,228 Nice, soft skin of the face, pleasant in the face, 142 00:07:43,697 --> 00:07:45,065 and then we're gonna inhale, 143 00:07:45,065 --> 00:07:47,767 lift the sternum up a little bit higher to the thumbs, 144 00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:51,565 and then exhale, relax the shoulders down. 145 00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:54,074 Beautiful. 146 00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,775 Take one more deep breath in here. 147 00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,445 And this time, as you exhale, 148 00:07:58,445 --> 00:08:00,380 gently bow the head to the heart, 149 00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:03,126 you're getting a nice big stretch in the back of the neck. 150 00:08:03,126 --> 00:08:04,884 You can activate the shoulder blades, 151 00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:06,953 drawing them a little bit more together 152 00:08:06,953 --> 00:08:08,988 and down the back body. 153 00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,323 No cranking or forcing though, 154 00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:13,844 just nice awareness in the upper back body. 155 00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:17,330 And now, listen to the sound of your breath 156 00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,099 and set a little intention if you like, 157 00:08:19,099 --> 00:08:21,010 something positive that will serve you. 158 00:08:21,010 --> 00:08:24,170 It can also just be a couple cycles of conscious breath. 159 00:08:25,302 --> 00:08:27,640 Neither one cause any harm. 160 00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:37,350 Sweet, then interlace the fingertips 161 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:38,023 and then here we go, 162 00:08:38,023 --> 00:08:40,720 we're gonna lift the chin and press the palms forward. 163 00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:43,389 Pause here, plug the shoulders in, 164 00:08:43,389 -->

00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:23,581 maybe you stay static, bowing the head, 201 00:10:24,771 --> 00:10:29,028 or maybe you walk the hands from side to side. 202 00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,932 Whatever dance you're choosing here, 203 00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:35,802 try to focus on your breath, 204 00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:43,943 listening to your inhalation and your exhalation. 205 00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:53,786 And then for this last cycle or two of breath, 206 00:10:53,786 --> 00:10:55,989 see if you can really activate the hip creases. 207 00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:58,491 Pull them back, let your bum, 208 00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,593 your hips grow really heavy here, 209 00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:03,062 so your sit bones really, instead of reaching up here, 210 00:11:03,062 --> 00:11:05,632 they reach down, down, down towards the earth. 211 00:11:10,803 --> 00:11:12,071 And then we'll slowly release, 212 00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:14,440 tuck the chin into the chest, come all the way up. 213 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,943 You're gonna actually capture your right foot, 214 00:11:16,943 --> 00:11:18,578 outer edge of your right foot. 215 00:11:18,578 --> 00:11:20,680 Left hand comes back for a little support. 216 00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,352 Got zoned out there, it's working. 217 00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:28,454 Left hand comes back for a little support, 218 00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:30,390 and you're just gonna slowly draw a line 219 00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:31,991 with your right heel forward, 220 00:11:31,991 --> 00:11:35,929 so this right knee is in a nice right angle here. 221 00:11:35,929 --> 00:11:38,932 We're sitting up nice and tall, nice and tall. 222 00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:42,769 Maybe you work, in time, to pull that right knee back. 223 00:11:42,769 --> 00:11:44,571 Inhale, sit up nice and tall. 224 00:11:44,571 --> 00:11:46,406 We're stimulating a healthy flow of energy 225 00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:47,507 that runs up and down the spine, 226 00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:49,753 perfect if you've been a little static, 227 00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:52,512 and then release. 228 00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:53,813 Right heel comes in. 229 00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:56,916 Left

235 00:12:12,432 --> 00:12:15,268 and then the fingertips come down to the ground, 236 00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:18,438 and for most of us, it's the holiday time right now, 237 00:12:18,438 -->

00:20:58,290 you can start to draw your gaze all the way up to the sky. 394 00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:02,846 Breathing deep. 395 00:21:05,131 --> 00:21:07,533 And then we'll slowly release. 396 00:21:07,533 --> 00:21:08,768 Bring the palms together. 397 00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:10,249 Both feet come down. 398 00:21:10,249 --> 00:21:11,637 And we'll switch to the other side. 399 00:21:11,637 --> 00:21:13,177 So, shift to your right foot. 400 00:21:14,306 --> 00:21:15,550 Draw your left leg up. 401 00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,978 And then find where you're gonna connect, 402 00:21:18,978 --> 00:21:20,946 so navel draws in and up, 403 00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:22,715 and maybe it's on the thigh, maybe it's on the shin, 404 00:21:22,715 --> 00:21:24,650 or maybe it's on the ground, but it's all connected, 405 00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:26,252 so we're not holding on for dear life, 406 00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:28,053 but it's rather engaged, 407 00:21:28,053 --> 00:21:30,420 and then top of the left thigh bone rotates out. 408 00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:32,925 And then take a variation 409 00:21:32,925 --> 00:21:35,461 that feels really awesome on this side. 410 00:21:35,461 --> 00:21:40,132 I'm gonna go behind my back again, opposite thumb on top. 411 00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:42,018 And then play with your focus. 412 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,575 And then slowly, we'll release. 413 00:21:49,575 --> 00:21:52,611 Palms come together, both feet on the ground, awesome. 414 00:21:52,611 --> 00:21:54,813 Inhale, take a big reach up towards the sky. 415 00:21:56,615 --> 00:22:00,590 Exhale, snowflakes falling all the way down, mm. 416 00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:05,491 And then bend your knees generously. 417 00:22:05,491 --> 00:22:09,195 You're gonna plant one palm and then the other or fingertips 418 00:22:10,563 --> 00:22:13,165 and then we're gonna slowly keep bending the knees, 419 00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:15,534 lift the heels up, stretch through the feet, 420 00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:17,336 and you're gonna drop your center down. 421 00:22:18,588 --> 00:22:20,339 Then walk the fingertips behind, 422 00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:24,227 soft landing as you come onto your bum, onto a seat. 423 00:22:25,651 --> 00:22:27,546 And then we're gonna open the knees wide, 424 00:22:27,546 --> 00:22:29,524 soles of the feet come together, 425 00:22:29,524 --> 00:22:34,060 and we sit up nice and tall for Cobbler's Pose. 426 00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:37,089 And you can take this opportunity 427 00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:39,711 to massage your feet a little bit here. 428 00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:44,363 You can, if you don't, if that's really not your thing, 429 00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,531 here's a little instruction. 430 00:22:45,531 --> 00:22:47,533 You can take your thumbs to the arches 431 00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:50,789 and just start to massage that area, 432 00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:53,606 and then take it from there. 433 00:22:53,606 --> 00:22:54,909 Hey buddy. 434 00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:06,727 That's why we pay him the big bucks. 435 00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:10,684 Hey bud. 436 00:23:15,261 --> 00:23:18,464 Okay, and then sit up nice and tall after your foot massage. 437 00:23:18,464 --> 00:23:20,566 If you skimped out on that foot massage, 438 00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:21,900 put your thumbs to your arches right now 439 00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:24,937 and just give a couple presses, just see what happens. 440 00:23:24,937 --> 00:23:29,181 Notice how you feel when you participate in that action. 441 00:23:30,376 --> 00:23:33,545 Once again, tops of the thighs are rotating out, 442 00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:36,815 just like in Tree Pose, and we're gonna sit up nice and tall 443 00:23:37,883 --> 00:23:39,151 and then send your heart forward 444 00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:41,020 as you bend the elbows left to right. 445 00:23:42,154 --> 00:23:44,923 Maybe you pause about right here, 446 00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:48,398 chest open, throat open, inner smile turned on. 447 00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:52,264 Or maybe you continue the journey down, 448 00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:54,967 nose towards the toes, rounding through the spine, 449 00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:57,269 feeling that deep stretch again 450 00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:58,838 through the back of the neck. 451 00:24:06,245 --> 00:24:07,413 Take a deep breath in, 452 00:24:08,747 --> 00:24:11,550 and then use your exhale to slowly roll it back up. 453 00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:14,235 Awesome work. 454 00:24:14,235 --> 00:24:17,623 We're gonna take the feet out in front, hands behind you, 455 00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:20,025 and just gonna windshield wiper the legs one way 456 00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:22,761 and then the other. 457 00:24:22,761 --> 00:24:24,396 Buddy, buddy, keep it clean. 458 00:24:25,564 --> 00:24:27,328 One way 459 00:24:27,328 --> 00:24:28,827 and then the other. 460 00:24:29,735 --> 00:24:31,837 And then just do it a couple more times. 461 00:24:33,005 --> 00:24:35,341 Make it your own, get a little booty massage. 462 00:24:35,341 --> 00:24:36,575 If you need a little more, 463 00:24:36,575 --> 00:24:39,511 you can cross opposite ankle over the top of the thigh. 464 00:24:39,511 --> 00:24:40,646 Keep the toes active. 465 00:24:49,602 --> 00:24:51,023 And then when you feel satisfied, 466 00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:52,624 go ahead and bring it all the way to center. 467 00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:55,060 We're gonna cross the ankles again. 468 00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:58,197 Come onto all fours, prepare for your One-Legged Pigeon. 469 00:24:58,197 --> 00:25:00,599 Now, couple a things before we do this today. 470 00:25:01,597 --> 00:25:05,137 Grab your blankie and your pillow just in case, 471 00:25:06,038 --> 00:25:08,374 and you choose an option. 472 00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:11,010 If you're feeling a little chilly, 473 00:25:11,944 --> 00:25:13,870 you're gonna take your blanket, 474 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,716 this is a very fancy move here, 475 00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:20,753 and you're gonna bring it up on your shoulders, 476 00:25:20,753 --> 00:25:24,256 and you're gonna wear it like this, go the other side. 477 00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:29,695 And then you're gonna keep your pillow handy, like Benji is, 478 00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:32,364 and then you're gonna come into your pigeon like this, okay? 479 00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:36,335 If you're a little bit heated, say you're warm, 480 00:25:36,335 --> 00:25:37,503 that's what that means, 481 00:25:37,503 --> 00:25:40,406 you're going to, instead, lay your blanket, 482 00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:45,558 he thinks it's for him. 483 00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:49,915 Well, I know you love blankies, but, 484 00:25:49,915 --> 00:25:52,785 so if you're heated, you're gonna lay your blanket. 485 00:25:52,785 --> 00:25:55,954 Sorry, this video's turning into a long one. 486 00:25:55,954 --> 00:25:58,323 You're gonna lay your blanket out, but that's okay. 487 00:25:58,323 --> 00:26:00,292 Cozy yoga together. 488 00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:01,393 Like this, and then you're gonna 489 00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:04,313 come into your One-Legged Pigeon like so. 490 00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:07,866 So, it's a little bit special either way. 491 00:26:07,866 --> 00:26:10,269 You're either laying on your blanket 492 00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:12,838 or you're gonna bring it around 493 00:26:12,838 --> 00:26:16,775 and wear it like a shawl, okay? 494 00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:18,710 Both are very simple gestures 495 00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:21,013 that are gonna make you feel awesome in your Pigeon. 496 00:26:21,013 --> 00:26:22,250 I know it seems like 497 00:26:24,016 --> 00:26:27,470 what are we doing, Adriene, but 498 00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:30,289 sometimes it's the little things. 499 00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:32,491 And then you're gonna take your pillow 500 00:26:32,491 --> 00:26:34,626 and your option here for the pillow 501 00:26:34,626 --> 00:26:36,228 is to bring for your head, 502 00:26:37,229 --> 00:26:39,765 imagine that, or bring it over to your right hip 503 00:26:39,765 --> 00:26:42,267 and use it as a little bumper for your right hip. 504 00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:44,336 Keep the toes active. 505 00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:46,205 Take a deep breath when you get there, 506 00:26:47,539 --> 00:26:49,975 and then use an exhale to find what feels good, 507 00:26:49,975 --> 00:26:52,411 either resting your head on the pillow, 508 00:26:52,411 --> 00:26:55,481 maybe on the forearms, maybe a block if you have it, 509 00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:57,510 or down to the earth. 510 00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:02,754 So, it may seem a bit silly, but I swear, 511 00:27:02,754 --> 00:27:03,889 I put a little thought, 512 00:27:04,954 --> 00:27:08,760 a lot of thought into everything I share, 513 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,529 and so you kind of have to make the decision, 514 00:27:10,529 --> 00:27:14,032 what do I want, the blanket over, the blanket out, 515 00:27:14,032 --> 00:27:15,133 and as you go through that action, 516 00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:16,869 you're committing to your choice. 517 00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:22,040 So without going too into it, 518 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,275 it's like you're sending a very, 519 00:27:23,275 --> 00:27:26,612 you're uniting the mind and the body in a very unique way 520 00:27:27,446 --> 00:27:30,597 through these simple gestures. 521 00:27:33,682 --> 00:27:38,991 And then take that mindfulness and double it in this pose. 522 00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:41,460 Press into the top of the back foot. 523 00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:42,961 Really feel with every breath 524 00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:44,823 the nuance of this shape today. 525 00:27:46,598 --> 00:27:48,166 And then if you've been kind of enjoying 526 00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:50,636 and conversing with your homies that you're practicing with 527 00:27:50,636 --> 00:27:53,205 if you're practicing with someone, go ahead and everyone, 528 00:27:53,205 --> 00:27:54,773 take this moment to close your eyes 529 00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:58,312 and go inward just for a couple breath cycles at least. 530 00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:08,620 A moment of quiet, of silence, maybe you send some love 531 00:28:10,656 --> 00:28:16,014 to someone or maybe you dedicate this moment of silence to 532 00:28:20,465 --> 00:28:25,458 someone who is only with you in spirit. 533 00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:39,730 Embrace this quiet moment with one more cycle of breath. 534 00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:47,066 Whew, and then press into the top of the back foot 535 00:28:48,694 --> 00:28:53,045 and slowly use your hands to bring it all the way back up. 536 00:28:55,434 --> 00:28:57,075 Notice what came up. 537 00:28:57,075 --> 00:28:59,605 You're gonna come through to center. 538 00:28:59,605 --> 00:29:01,640 Soles of the feet kiss together, 539 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,209 and then you can take it to the other side. 540 00:29:04,209 --> 00:29:05,210 Now, if you're like me 541 00:29:05,210 --> 00:29:07,346 and you kind of like the front of your mat 542 00:29:07,346 --> 00:29:08,814 to stay the front of your mat sometimes, 543 00:29:08,814 --> 00:29:10,449 depending on what room you're in, 544 00:29:10,449 --> 00:29:13,085 you can stay facing this way, 545 00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:16,488 just come back to all fours and lift the left leg up. 546 00:29:17,856 --> 00:29:19,091 So, lots of options today. 547 00:29:19,091 --> 00:29:21,827 If you're like, oh, for this one, I wanna try the shawl, 548 00:29:22,695 --> 00:29:23,899 do that. 549 00:29:23,899 -->

(chuckles) 555 00:29:45,283 --> 00:29:47,019 When I look at the video later, 556 00:29:47,019 --> 00:29:48,420 okay, I love you guys. 557 00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:51,456 Find your One-Legged Pigeon on the other side. 558 00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:55,193 Shoulda said this the first round, 559 00:29:55,193 --> 00:29:59,064 but if the first round was a little bit too much for you, 560 00:29:59,064 --> 00:30:00,432 you can do this on your back. 561 00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:01,700 You can come to lay on your back 562 00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:04,112 and do a reclined One-Legged Pigeon here. 563

then when you get there 566 00:30:13,445 --> 00:30:15,881 and after you get done laughing at the way I look 567 00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:20,752 and kind of enjoying the energy of whatever room you're in, 568 00:30:20,752 --> 00:30:25,974 I'm serious, as your humble yoga guide and your friend, 569 00:30:25,974 --> 00:30:28,894 let's take a moment here to be quiet 570 00:30:28,894 --> 00:30:31,229 and to be with our breath, so when you find it, 571 00:30:33,365 --> 00:30:35,182 breathe deep, a little deeper, 572 00:30:36,435 --> 00:30:38,407 a little more fully, 573 00:30:40,906 --> 00:30:42,674 and take the mindfulness that you put in 574 00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:44,753 and just kinda that fun energy 575 00:30:44,753 --> 00:30:48,445 and maintain that here, but just come into stillness. 576 00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:54,453 And as you listen to the sound of your breath, 577 00:30:54,453 --> 00:30:57,255 again, maybe there's an opportunity to send some love 578 00:30:59,224 -->

00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:13,551 but really, thank you because 636 00:34:15,152 --> 00:34:17,656 anyone who shows up for regular yoga 637 00:34:17,656 --> 00:34:20,725 or just says, yes, maybe this is your first practice, 638 00:34:20,725 --> 00:34:23,228 in which case, do try another. 639 00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:24,462 This one's unique. 640 00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:26,731 (laughs) 641 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:33,629 But, you're my hero to show up at home for yourself 642 00:34:33,629 --> 00:34:36,241 and not press pause and not stop 643 00:34:36,241 --> 00:34:37,242 or if you do, that's fine, 644 00:34:37,242 --> 00:34:41,246 but to show up for yourself in this type of setting is 645 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,417 pretty amazing, especially in this day and age, so. 646 00:34:47,851 --> 00:34:49,562 Basically, you rock. 647 00:34:55,994 --> 00:34:58,396 Just take another cycle of breath here to, 648 00:34:59,698 --> 00:35:01,900 just to be, to calm the nervous system. 649 00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:08,273 This time of year can be intense on many, many, 650 00:35:08,273 --> 00:35:10,809 many, many, many levels. 651 00:35:13,335 --> 00:35:17,916 So, the body itself gets just really caught up, right? 652 00:35:19,417 --> 00:35:20,637 Caught up in the 653 00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:23,627 response to 654 00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:28,760 so many things that happen around this time of year, 655 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,861 so basically, take a moment to really just chill. 656 00:35:36,935 --> 00:35:41,223 Release from that fight or flight. 657 00:35:42,941 --> 00:35:45,143 Soften your breath, make sure, like you might notice, 658 00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,845 oh my gosh, yes, I'm holding my gluts 659 00:35:46,845 --> 00:35:50,021 or I'm holding in my shoulders, soften. 660 00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:57,822 Sweet, and if you're on the membership, 661 00:35:57,822 --> 00:36:01,493 you could probably just stay here, listen to some tunes, 662 00:36:02,394 --> 00:36:03,789 maybe keep stretching, 663 00:36:06,818 --> 00:36:09,467 but if you're on YouTube and you want to, 664 00:36:09,467 --> 00:36:12,804 or if you just want to move onto the next thing, 665 00:36:12,804 --> 00:36:15,440 we're slowly going to press the palms into the earth, 666 00:36:16,641 --> 00:36:18,676 lift the knees, and you're gonna roll onto the side 667 00:36:18,676 --> 00:36:22,113 that you did not roll on in the beginning. 668 00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:26,104 So, roll to the other side, find your fetal position, 669 00:36:26,104 --> 00:36:28,453 really hug the knees up to the chest, 670 00:36:28,453 --> 00:36:30,688 bottom arm can become a pillow here. 671 00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:36,928 And then slowly, come all the way up. 672 00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:41,933 Tap into that inner smile or maybe you have a real smile. 673 00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:47,138 Maybe you have an outer smile. 674 00:36:47,138 --> 00:36:48,506 Inner smile's a real smile. 675 00:36:49,641 --> 00:36:51,246 Alright. 676 00:36:57,215 --> 00:37:02,603 So, we have our inner smile and maybe the outer smile lit. 677 00:37:04,289 --> 00:37:06,224 We'll draw the hands to the heart. 678 00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,655 Sit up nice and tall. 679 00:37:10,829 --> 00:37:13,523 One last time, thank yourself for showing up here, 680 00:37:16,101 --> 00:37:17,769 for sharing this practice with me 681

00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:28,947 will make a difference in our lives 685 00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:31,349 and in each other's lives and in the world, 686 00:37:32,484 --> 00:37:35,553 but I think that sometimes it can be fun and cozy. 687 00:37:35,553 --> 00:37:37,856 Important thing is that you show up. 688 00:37:37,856 --> 00:37:38,690 So, thank you so much 689 00:37:38,690 --> 00:37:40,625 for
