00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:01,800
what's up everyone welcome to the yoga

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,620
with Adriene vlog I'm Adriene that's

3
00:00:04,620 --> 00:00:08,220
Benji and we're here today to tell you

4
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:19,199
about my trip to Chicago so when we were

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:20,520
talking about to define what it feels

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,980
good roadshow we knew that we had to go

7
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:26,210
to Chicago for starters I've never been

8
00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:28,050
I've heard nothing about great things

9
00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:31,560
and yeah just based on community

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,510
engagement and conversation we knew that

11
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:35,460
we had to take a trip to Chicago so when

12
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:38,579
we finally got it all set and booked we

13
00:00:38,579 --> 00:00:41,010
were super excited to go so because of

14
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:42,660
where we were at with other jobs and

15
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:45,180
things and you know how just life goes

16
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:47,550
of busy schedules Chicago had to be a

17
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:49,649
quick trip but that doesn't mean it

18
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:53,989
wasn't awesome once I got settled in I

19
00:00:53,989 --> 00:00:56,879
ate some awesome food in fact I want to

20
00:00:56,879 --> 00:00:59,219
go ahead and say in public that I I

21
00:00:59,219 --> 00:01:01,079
don't know about all Chicago cooks let's

22
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:02,550
face it I was only there for a couple

23
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:04,500
days but in the short time that I was

24
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,720
there I found it very vegetarian

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,270
friendly I found it very delicious

26
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:11,990
and at this point in my travels like I

27
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:14,760
was kind of done you know just being

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,740
like yeah I'm Coolio v-a-l-e whatever

29
00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:18,330
want at this point some reason by the

30
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:19,409
time I in Chicago was probably why I

31
00:01:19,409 --> 00:01:20,880
didn't have pizza I was just feeling

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,090
like I really just needed to eat

33
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:26,460
nutritious things and you know keep my

34
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:29,400
system happy and you know balanced right

35
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,200
that's all we're talking about here

36
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360
balanced whole living so I had some

37
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,610
awesome food and then a really good

38
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:37,079
friend of mine lives in Chicago actually

39
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:38,130
a couple of really good friends of mine

40
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:40,979
but my friend Alan is an incredible

41
00:01:40,979 --> 00:01:43,560
performer an inspiration to us all he

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,979
does it all and so I went to go see Alan

43
00:01:46,979 --> 00:01:49,649
in a comedy show and it was a lot of fun

44
00:01:49,649 --> 00:01:50,850
at first I was a little worried about

45
00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:53,130
going to a show we usually try to take

46
00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:55,530
it really easy before we have to do our

47
00:01:55,530 --> 00:02:00,240
road show that you know class the next

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,530
morning I was going to a workshop it's

49
00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:02,610
not really

50
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:04,450
but since we're only there two nights

51
00:02:04,450 --> 00:02:06,820
and because Alan is so awesome and he's

52
00:02:06,820 --> 00:02:08,410
a yogi and I knew he was planning on

53
00:02:08,410 --> 00:02:11,230
coming to the find what feels good class

54
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:13,750
I decided I need to buck up and go visit

55
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:16,150
him so he went to a comedy sports show

56
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:17,830
thanks for the ticket

57
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:22,300
Alan and I was brave enough to sit in

58
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,940
the front row and it was super fun and I

59
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:27,780
laughed like a child I stopped my feet I

60
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:31,239
participated and I mean I just made

61
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:33,310
suggestions and and there's a lot of fun

62
00:02:33,310 --> 00:02:35,709
so thanks Alan thanks comedy sports

63
00:02:35,709 --> 00:02:38,500
that's comedy sports with a Z the fine

64
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:40,090
one feels good road show day in Chicago

65
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:42,940
is actually magical in the morning after

66
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:47,190
my ritual we even ran into like ywa

67
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:49,690
community members like just on the

68
00:02:49,690 --> 00:02:51,580
sidewalk outside the restaurant we were

69
00:02:51,580 --> 00:02:54,160
out having a you know fueling up on

70
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,230
caffeine it was really cool I got to me

71
00:02:56,230 --> 00:03:00,250
a puppy dog hey puppy dog you know who

72
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:00,549
you are

73
00:03:00,549 --> 00:03:05,290
shout out and and then as I walked up to

74
00:03:05,290 --> 00:03:08,320
this face I got to meet everyone who had

75
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,350
shown up for the class beforehand while

76
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:12,820
we were waiting to get in and it was so

77
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:15,430
fun it felt like I was beating a bunch

78
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:18,130
of old old friends I know it seems hokey

79
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:20,200
but this the truth there's there's never

80
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,880
anything awkward about meeting complete

81
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,350
strangers and being connected to them

82
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:25,450
and I find that pretty interesting right

83
00:03:25,450 --> 00:03:28,299
because it should be awkward but I don't

84
00:03:28,299 --> 00:03:29,650
know there's an agreement there's a

85
00:03:29,650 --> 00:03:32,500
there's something there that I will

86
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:34,810
write about one day but I'm still I'm

87
00:03:34,810 --> 00:03:36,010
still thinking about art pottery and

88
00:03:36,010 --> 00:03:38,109
it's hard to articulate but from the

89
00:03:38,109 --> 00:03:41,650
get-go I felt a little bit of magic we

90
00:03:41,650 --> 00:03:43,690
walked up started getting people checked

91
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:45,040
in check out the space

92
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,170
this time we're at an awesome space bend

93
00:03:47,170 --> 00:03:49,000
yoga thank you so much for having us

94
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,530
each space is totally different you have

95
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:52,090
to understand too that I'm walking into

96
00:03:52,090 --> 00:03:54,489
this space for the first time so my

97
00:03:54,489 --> 00:03:57,150
normal things that I rely on you know to

98
00:03:57,150 --> 00:04:00,579
to make myself comfortable to host to

99
00:04:00,579 --> 00:04:02,590
you know own own the room and whole

100
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:05,650
space for people I don't have so it's

101
00:04:05,650 --> 00:04:07,600
been a really good experience as a

102
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,340
teacher and as a guide I think and as a

103
00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:12,060
person of course you know

104
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:13,860
of staying present and being on your

105
00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:16,769
toes and oddly enough not to be cheesy

106
00:04:16,769 --> 00:04:18,510
but I actually think a lot of my acting

107
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:21,600
training and improv training take tying

108
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,030
it into Alan's comedy sports night and

109
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:25,560
my whole Chicago thing all right the

110
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,450
whole second city thing I'm gonna hate

111
00:04:27,450 --> 00:04:29,130
this vlog I can't tell just King I

112
00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:31,290
really think that that that background

113
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:32,669
helps in these moments you know you

114
00:04:32,669 --> 00:04:34,139
don't panic you take one thing at a time

115
00:04:34,139 --> 00:04:36,060
you just say yes to everything and you

116
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:38,430
know you're super gracious and and you

117
00:04:38,430 --> 00:04:40,080
respect the space and each other and

118
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,990
ultimately try to dig down and have some

119
00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:44,250
fun so that's what we did we had an

120
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:47,220
awesome class a really diverse group I

121
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:49,320
had such a great time meeting everyone

122
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,320
afterwards and yeah it was it was it was

123
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,970
a really great class again these

124
00:04:53,970 --> 00:04:56,040
desserts serve as little souvenirs to

125
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,660
say thank you to everyone who came and

126
00:04:57,660 --> 00:05:00,540

128
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:08,220
didn't have much time but Alan took us

129
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:09,660
to find some food do a little

130
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:10,919
sightseeing of course I just see the

131
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:14,460
stadium you know this was a big this was

132
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:17,729
right right as some serious ballgames

133
00:05:17,729 --> 00:05:20,729
were happening as I understand it and so

134
00:05:20,729 --> 00:05:22,410
that was exciting walked around had some

135
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:25,560
more awesome vegetarian food at Chicago

136
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,030
diner this time a little different than

137
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:28,410
the place I was at before totally

138
00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:29,640
different actually but still very

139
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,740
vegetarian friendly super awesome and

140
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:34,440

00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,330
short little trip was also chilly so a

144
00:05:42,330 --> 00:05:43,860
little cocktail felt good and I have no

145
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:45,750
footage from that because if you know

146
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:47,580
anything about the violent hour you know

147
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,830
that there are rules and so it is

148
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:51,479
against the rules so no footage from the

149
00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:53,370
