squeeze in towards the heart. 980 00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:01,625 Take a nice, big, solid breath in and then use your exhale 981 00:45:01,625 --> 00:45:04,918 to guide the left leg over towards the right side 982 00:45:04,918 --> 00:45:07,194 of your yoga mat, opening up into your twist 983 00:45:07,194 --> 00:45:08,819 on the other side, should feel awesome. 984 00:45:08,819 --> 00:45:10,723 Notice in the places where you're gripping here, 985 00:45:10,723 --> 00:45:14,833 and see if you can soften and begin to relax. 986 00:45:14,833 --> 00:45:17,333 (deep breath) 987 00:45:22,937 --> 00:45:25,723 Great, and slowly rock it back. 988 00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:28,765 Go ahead and lift both knees here. 989 00:45:28,765 --> 00:45:31,273 Walk the heels up towards the sitting bones. 990 00:45:31,273 --> 00:45:35,104 Inhale, exhale, press into the feet, toes pointing forward, 991 00:45:35,104 --> 00:45:37,078 begin to lift from the tail. 992 00:45:37,078 --> 00:45:40,375 Knees go forward, hips lift up high. 993 00:45:40,375 --> 00:45:41,954 Think about sending your sitting bones 994 00:45:41,954 --> 00:45:43,324 towards the backs of your knees 995 00:45:43,324 --> 00:45:46,946 as you come into Setu Bandhasana, Bridge pose, 996 00:45:46,946 --> 00:45:49,733 pressing into all four corners of the feet. 997 00:45:49,733 --> 00:45:51,869 Imagine a block between your inner thighs, 998 00:45:51,869 --> 00:45:55,630 so really squeezing the inner thighs together. 999 00:45:55,630 --> 00:45:58,603 Keep your gaze right up for now. 1000 00:45:58,603 --> 00:46:00,600 No need to look at the video here. 1001 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:01,668 I'll talk you through this. 1002 00:46:01,668 --> 00:46:03,154 Lifting the hips a little higher, 1003 00:46:03,154 --> 00:46:06,985 see if you can interlace the fingertips behind the tail. 1004 00:46:06,985 --> 00:46:09,141 Press down into the earth, reach your knuckles 1005 00:46:09,141 --> 00:46:11,509 towards your heels. 1006 00:46:11,509 --> 00:46:13,576 Last but not least, keep breathing deep here. 1007 00:46:13,576 --> 00:46:18,220 Lift your chest to your chin, and your chin towards the sky. 1008 00:46:18,220 --> 00:46:20,797 Chest to your chin, and your chin towards the sky. 1009 00:46:20,797 --> 00:46:23,398 One more big breath in, fill it up, 1010 00:46:23,398 --> 00:46:26,393 and then exhale, release everything with control, 1011 00:46:26,393 --> 00:46:28,893 with grace, slowly lower down. 1012 00:46:29,737 --> 00:46:31,176 Awesome work. 1013 00:46:31,176 --> 00:46:34,869 Take the hands, press up off the toes, 1014 00:46:34,869 --> 00:46:38,560 catch your knees, and then just a gentle lengthening here, 1015 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,232 should feel good in the lower back body. 1016 00:46:40,232 --> 00:46:42,392 Knees together or hip width apart, 1017 00:46:42,392 --> 00:46:45,689 you're gonna reach your knees forward, 1018 00:46:45,689 --> 00:46:48,824 find the flushness of the lower back on the mat. 1019 00:46:48,824 --> 00:46:51,494 If I were to reach my hand underneath my lower back, 1020 00:46:51,494 --> 00:46:52,678 I cannot. 1021 00:46:52,678 --> 00:46:55,845 It's nice and stamped down to the mat. 1022 00:46:58,665 --> 00:47:01,165 (deep breath) 1023 00:47:03,936 --> 00:47:06,186 A couple more breaths here. 1024 00:47:13,038 --> 00:47:15,508 You're welcome to take it to Happy Baby here, 1025 00:47:15,508 --> 00:47:17,446 grabbing the outer edges of the feet, 1026 00:47:17,446 --> 00:47:21,301 or the inner arches for a stirrup posture, 1027 00:47:21,301 --> 00:47:23,042 or maybe you'd like to take a more restorative 1028 00:47:23,042 --> 00:47:26,625 hip opener here, a Reclined Cobbler's pose, 1029 00:47:28,638 --> 00:47:32,237 or maybe you are ready to head straight to Shavasana. 1030 00:47:32,237 --> 00:47:35,418 Take a couple breaths to find what feels good, 1031 00:47:35,418 --> 00:47:39,064 and eventually, we'll make our way to our final 1032 00:47:39,064 --> 00:47:41,990 and most precious posture, the Corpse pose 1033 00:47:41,990 --> 00:47:44,939 with the legs out long and the arms resting gently, 1034 00:47:44,939 --> 00:47:47,272 palms face up at your sides. 1035 00:47:48,881 --> 00:47:49,795 Really awesome work today, 1036 00:47:49,795 --> 00:47:51,885 so make sure that you seal the deal 1037 00:47:51,885 --> 00:47:54,968 and end this ritual with Corpse pose, 1038 00:47:56,366 --> 00:47:59,176 opportunity to allow the nutrients of your practice 1039 00:47:59,176 --> 00:48:02,334 to settle in, but also to just balance out the energy. 1040 00:48:02,334 --> 00:48:03,167 Right? 1041 00:48:05,445 --> 00:48:07,791 For years, I was going to these power yoga classes 1042 00:48:07,791 --> 00:48:09,208 and I was kind of 1043 00:48:10,647 --> 00:48:12,086 stressed out all the time. 1044 00:48:12,086 --> 00:48:13,433 I realized that my energy, 1045 00:48:13,433 --> 00:48:17,171 I was making myself quite frazzled. 1046 00:48:17,171 --> 00:48:19,075 So it's nice to move the body, 1047 00:48:19,075 --> 00:48:20,469 and then we need to take a second 1048 00:48:20,469 --> 00:48:23,762 to honor it, and balance it out, and restore. 1049 00:48:23,762 --> 00:48:26,177 So close your eyes when you arrive in Shavasana. 1050 00:48:26,177 --> 00:48:28,010 Take a deep breath in, 1051 00:48:29,312 --> 00:48:32,702 and on an exhale, allow the weight of your body, 1052 00:48:32,702 --> 00:48:34,035 muscle and bone, 1053 00:48:35,372 --> 00:48:36,205 to relax 1054 00:48:37,926 --> 00:48:39,676 completely and fully. 1055 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:46,807 Give yourself permission here to do absolutely nothing. 1056 00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:50,093 If you're on the membership site, 1057 00:48:50,093 --> 00:48:52,137 have a nice, extended Shavasana here. 1058 00:48:52,137 --> 00:48:56,304 I encourage you to milk it, enjoy the whole thing. 1059 00:48:58,592 --> 00:49:00,867 Wherever you are watching this and practicing this, 1060 00:49:00,867 --> 00:49:03,491 I send you love and invite you to stay here 1061 00:49:03,491 --> 00:49:06,440 for a couple moments even after I'm gone. 1062 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,205 I'm not really gone, I'm always here. 1063 00:49:08,205 --> 00:49:09,288 Just kidding. 1064 00:49:11,665 --> 00:49:14,010 Once again, honoring your body and your practice 1065 00:49:14,010 --> 00:49:18,177 by sealing the ritual with a surrender, stillness. 1066 00:49:25,179 --> 00:49:28,081 Thanks again for sharing your time and your energy with me 1067 00:49:28,081 --> 00:49:30,310 and the

guitar music)
