what's up everyone welcome to the yoga

with Adriene vlog I'm Adriene that's

Benji and we're off to Seattle Oh

Seattle how I love yet how I love you

I've been to Seattle a couple times and

I just could not wait to go back didn't

matter how I was feeling I was pumped

about Seattle okay first of all the

Pacific Northwest can I get a name in I

mean I don't know about you

where you're from where you up but

obviously I'm a Texas girl and there is

just nothing like your first experience

of the Pacific Northwest I mean it's

just so beautiful right I mean it's just

subtle gorgeous and diverse you know it

might not sound silly but when you come

from a place like Texas you know it's

it's a lot of the same and it's

beautiful it's so gorgeous and and maybe

that's not even true but for me and I

just hadn't seen anything like this the

Pacific Northwest I remember when I

first went many moons ago and each time

I go back I get to experience a

different part so that's also really

cool so you know I've been spend some

time in a blizzard duty tacoma before

i've spent some time in you know Olympia

and Mount Rainier you know hikes and

gorgeous stuff oh my god super paradise

there but also in the city and so this

time I was just great I was in the city

I got to explore a little more and it

was awesome

so we were there right before Halloween

and so it's this perfect beautiful

autumnal neighborhood queen and all the

leaves are absolutely gorgeous things

are lush you know Halloween decorations

really nice so of course as with any

great travels you set out on foot and

you find a place to eat you explore a

little and so that was really nice the

next day we had a whole day to explore

so I packed my bag put on my coat and

prepared for any type of weather chilly

brisk rainy of course and set out for

the market if you're not familiar with

Pikes Place Market which you probably

are but if you are not it's a magical

place to be especially on the weekend

when it's bustling it's one of the few

places that I feel like I don't get

bogged down by touristy stuff you know

how sometimes you're like oh wherever

the tourists flock you know you don't

necessarily want to be there you want to

go where the people go I'm really

holding back the urge to sing Little

Mermaid um anyway Pikes Place Market is

awesome it's it's it is it is a touristy

place it's a landmark come on but it's

one that I love so of course we had to

go and find the men flinging fish I just

realized is that sexist no because

there's no women flinging fish at that

particular spot there are plenty of

women who fling fish there are plenty of

women working their butts off in the

market one thing I love about the market

which I was planning to say anyway is

the diversity is so awesome from all the

vendors would of course all the tourists

you know there's so many different

languages so many different types of

food being made right in front of your

eyes right in front of your eyes so it's

really awesome you know the smells the

sights the sounds it's so it's so it's

so cool again it's one of my favorite

places to go on a weekend busy touristy

spot Pikes Place Market I got to see

some cheese being made I've got to eat

some great food sample some delicious

little things shop the gifts and then if

I'm being honest which I want to be I

have to tell you I I kind of you know

made my rounds and then and then was

quickly off to the next thing because

it's kind of the same thing every time

you just kind of go to take in the

ambiance support some of the vendors

there's the magical flowers which I feel

like is worth the trip alone and then

you move on after the market I knew that

we had to check out the water I wanted

to take the ferry and so we took the

ferry to Bainbridge Island I really

wanted to just kind of walk around the

island I had been before but it was a

different time of year so it was nice to

just kind of set out on foot and again

explore you know you get great exercise

the air there is so awesome and you know

it's also a fun place it's one of the

few I think fun places to be around

Taurus and watch Taurus

save for Disneyland you know you just

have to like get into that more on that

later

so because it was Halloween time it was

fun to be on the island and see you know

people in costume and are preparing

people going to holiday parties on the

ferry I I posted on Instagram a picture

you know someone getting getting their

kids ready for a Halloween costume party

you know across on the island so that

was fun it's just a really great day to

walk around have oysters and you know

experience a gorgeous Saturday in the

Pacific Northwest after plenty of

walking around in booths and good

exercise and of course good food I

finally made it home early to get

prepared for the next day do a little

legs at the wall and find a sense of

peace and rest which I've learned super

important on these trips the next day it

was a classic Seattle day super rainy

and gray but beautiful and we went to

the studio and we're a little early and

the Luminess is right next to a Whole

Foods Market so I popped in there to get

some flowers I tend to like to do this

before every class some thing if I can

in some way to bring to the space to you

know offer it to the space and and and

just you know make it beautiful so took

my humble bouquet to the studio got

acquainted with the folks at be luminous

thank you so much humans for having us

you are truly are truly awesome

in so many ways in addition to meeting

people in the community we get to branch

out and meet people in

Yoga communities and yoga studios that I

would have never met otherwise and it's

really cool and it's always such a

pleasure to see kind of how they're set

up what the vibe is you know and just

can connect to the things that you

connect to with them is it's really nice

ultimately it's just the yogurt right

the good vibes so this was our final

stop I felt a little emotional as we

were starting it was warm

the aluminous actually has a a movable

door wall excuse me in between their two

yoga studios and they're beautiful where

they can open it up and make the two

Studios one so that's what they did for

us we were at max capacity and we were

thinking about adding another class and

then they came to the rescue

like just amazing just they must have

felt with us trying to add more spots

and said hey we can bust down the wall

one two and we said yes so we did and

that way we were able to accommodate a

lot of people I think we had 70 people I

think yeah in our last stop and again

super diverse group of people really

really smart

Yogi's this this this group and and

really vocal and awesome really vocal

about how they had found the channel a

lot of families on this one we had one

whole family their mom and dad and the

two gals and and they had great stories

about how far they had taken yoga with

Adriene too you know different countries

with them and that was awesome and I got

to see some people that I know from

Austin and that was so nice and and man

people travel pretty far some pretty far

to join us in Seattle for this Roadshow

so we had travelers people from

different areas come to practice so I

would be lying if even before we started

apposite felt pretty special but this

class felt reverent I don't know if it

was who knows what it was right you

can't try to penny about to say that it

was it was such a reverent class it was

a lot of fun and

I only wish they were longer than 90

minutes you know I think next time we

got to give ourselves more time can we I

don't know

lock in so we finished the class by

meeting and greeting everyone and

talking someone Celeste

thank you I met her the day of she had

come with a box a beautiful shoebox of

cranes origami cranes and she said that

she would like to offer them to everyone

as a symbol of our oneness and so we

decided we schemed - while everyone was

in shavasana - put them in front of the

mats and you know I'm gonna no I don't

know about you guys but I just think

that this community rocks like the fact

that we're even thinking that and

sometimes you have an idea to do

something creative or something great

and then you don't do it because the way

our culture is in the way our society is

and I'm guilty of this all the time -

I'm trying to break free you don't do it

because you're afraid that people are

gonna think it's too much or too weird

it's like what well you know know your

limits people I don't want are you're

responsible training grand acts of love

no what come on it's awesome so thank

you for that amazing generous kind

thoughts and for making us the crane

Celeste and thank you everyone for

embracing the entire find what feels

good roto experience with me and or

learning with me and there's like a

squirrel that's really trying to

distract me launching it I'm trying to

say thank you thank you from the bottom

of my heart everyone even those who

weren't able to make it out we're gonna

be doing more travels in the new year I

can't wait to share with you our ideas

and our plans that are actually already

in the works

or visiting and connecting you in all

areas that's it Ben do you have anything

nope hmm thank you

take good care let's keep practicing do

good feel good
