00:22:59,767 to the knees here, and just work on 384 00:22:59,767 --> 00:23:03,066 creating strength and stability in the wrists slowly. 385 00:23:03,066 --> 00:23:05,166 If you're a cyclist or a runner, 386 00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:09,166 or you wear high heels, or whatever the hell you do, 387 00:23:09,166 --> 00:23:10,900 you might wanna stretch through the Achilles 388 00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:14,967 or the calf here, calves. 389 00:23:14,967 --> 00:23:17,333 And then when you're ready, we're gonna send 390 00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:20,133 the hips up high, and melt the heart back, 391 00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:21,867 but I want you to decide when you do it 392 00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:25,467 and how you do it, really move from a place of connect, so, 393 00:23:25,467 --> 00:23:27,233 I'll use an inhale and an exhale to do it, 394 00:23:27,233 --> 00:23:31,400 but take your time, I'll meet you in Downward Dog. 395 00:23:33,967 --> 00:23:38,266 And then continue that soft, easy movement, 396 00:23:38,266 --> 00:23:41,867 and if you start to feel a little shake, or a tremble, 397 00:23:41,867 --> 00:23:46,266 welcome that beautiful, fresh, new flush of energy. 398 00:23:49,033 --> 00:23:52,467 So by the end of this practice, you should feel like 399 00:23:52,467 --> 00:23:57,200 you've cultivated a new flow of energy in the body. 400 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,967 And in so many cultures, it's not just yoga or this, 401 00:24:00,967 --> 00:24:05,133 or that, in so many cultures and even in science now, 402 00:24:05,133 --> 00:24:07,934 we 403 00:24:07,934 --> 00:24:13,233 kind of consider the spine as this really sacred channel 404 00:24:13,233 --> 00:24:15,734 that different lines of energy run through. 405 00:24:15,734 --> 00:24:17,867 So when you feel that shake, it's not, "I am weak," 406 00:24:17,867 --> 00:24:20,266 it's, you are alive! 407 00:24:20,266 --> 00:24:22,200 And quite well, my friend. 408 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,166 Alright, baby steps to the top of the mat when you're ready. 409 00:24:25,166 --> 00:24:27,233 Use this, I see so many people blowing 410 00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:29,834 through this beautiful transition. 411 00:24:29,834 --> 00:24:31,967 Check in with your feet, be humble by it. 412 00:24:31,967 --> 00:24:34,367 Oh, tight hamstrings, all of us, 413 00:24:34,367 --> 00:24:37,533 no matter how much yoga you do. 414 00:24:37,533 --> 00:24:38,834 So bend your knees when you land, 415 00:24:38,834 --> 00:24:42,433 Forward Fold at the top of your mat. 416 00:24:42,433 --> 00:24:47,934 Inhale, big breath, exhale, let it all go. 417 00:24:47,934 --> 00:24:51,233 You can clasp the elbows here, 418 00:24:51,233 --> 00:24:54,800 you can take your finger and write someone's name 419 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,667 in imaginary sand, be present, dudes! 420 00:24:58,667 --> 00:25:00,467 Drop the doing of the yoga and let's tell 421 00:25:00,467 --> 00:25:02,100 a little story with the body, I mean, 422 00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:04,400 we're already telling this amazing story 423 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,567 just by all of us showing up here for the livestream! 424 00:25:08,567 --> 00:25:12,233 So stay awake, be present to the experience. 425 00:25:13,834 --> 00:25:16,233 That's why I love saying forget what you think you know 426 00:25:16,233 --> 00:25:18,133 about yoga, and I try to do the same thing too 427 00:25:18,133 --> 00:25:19,967 every time I show up. 428 00:25:19,967 --> 00:25:24,033 Of course, it's hard, 'cause autopilot's so easy! 429 00:25:25,333 --> 00:25:27,600 But what feels good, what's fulfilling, here we go, 430 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,166 inhale, halfway lift, the goal here is to connect 431 00:25:30,166 --> 00:25:33,433 to that line of the spine, the danda, with the breath, 432 00:25:33,433 --> 00:25:35,600 so you inhale, connect, plug in, 433 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,533 and then exhale, seamlessly here, fold, 434 00:25:39,533 --> 00:25:42,967 let's try it again, inhale to find expansion, 435 00:25:42,967 --> 00:25:45,166 pull the shoulders back, create length, 436 00:25:45,166 --> 00:25:48,266 just focus on the sensation rather than the shape. 437 00:25:48,266 --> 00:25:50,433 And then exhale, contract. 438 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,800 And one more time again, cultivating 439 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,834 that healthy flow of energy that runs up and down the spine, 440 00:25:57,834 --> 00:26:02,533 inhale, and exhale to fold. 441 00:26:02,533 --> 00:26:04,633 Plant the feet, they can be hip-width apart 442 00:26:04,633 --> 00:26:06,100 or flushed together, it doesn't matter to me, 443 00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:08,700 just nice, conscious footing, and then bend your knees 444 00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:12,000 so much so that your belly toward the tops of the thighs, 445 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,500 it doesn't have to touch, and then from your navel, 446 00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:17,700 actually, pulling in your center. 447 00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:22,367 Your center pulls in, your tailbone lengthens down, 448 00:26:22,367 --> 00:26:26,433 and slowly, we roll up, tuck your chin, 449 00:26:26,433 --> 00:26:31,467 take your time, meet in Mountain Pose. 450 00:26:35,066 --> 00:26:36,667 And then when you get there, a lot of you 451 00:26:36,667 --> 00:26:38,567 have heard me say this, 452 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,700 you know what to do. 453 00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:44,667 I'm sure thousands of people are like, 454 00:26:44,667 --> 00:26:46,100 "No, girl, I don't know what to do, 455 00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:47,834 "tell me what the hell to do," 456 00:26:47,834 --> 00:26:50,033 but the thing is, you actually do know what to do, 457 00:26:50,033 --> 00:26:54,500 so fix your hair, pull up your pantaloons, 458 00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:58,400 lick your lips, stretch your jaw. 459 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,967 Maybe you find stillness a lot quicker than you thought, 460 00:27:08,533 --> 00:27:10,767 so we're blasting through these vinyasa classes, 461 00:27:10,767 --> 00:27:15,567 we sometimes, not all the time, just sharing my experience, 462 00:27:15,567 --> 00:27:18,467 we kind of blast through that listening, 463 00:27:18,467 --> 00:27:21,033 and that is kind of the most, 464 00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:25,600 that's the good stuff. 465 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,266 So each time we come to Mountain, 466 00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:31,033 you'll have that experience, and you can take this 467 00:27:31,033 --> 00:27:33,734 invitation with you off the mat today 468 00:27:33,734 --> 00:27:36,233 and into your other practices. 469 00:27:37,834 --> 00:27:42,600 Be brave, listen to your body, listen to your breath. 470 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,300 Soft bend in the knees, when you're ready, 471 00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:45,900 we're gonna inhale, reach for the sky, 472 00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:49,867 take a big stretch, just notice what it feels like 473 00:27:49,867 --> 00:27:52,834 up and down the body, one moving part here, 474 00:27:52,834 --> 00:27:55,400 inhale, and then exhale, bend the knees, 475 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,500 move slow here all the way down, Forward Fold. 476 00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:02,333 Big inhale to lift you up halfway. 477 00:28:03,166 --> 00:28:06,266 Find length, and then exhale to fold. 478 00:28:08,333 --> 00:28:10,633 Inhale, reach for the sky, bend your knees, 479 00:28:10,633 --> 00:28:12,600 feel your feet pressing into the earth again, 480 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,500 think of the body as one moving part, 481 00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,433 and then exhale, hands to heart. 482 00:28:18,433 --> 00:28:19,033 Sweet. 483 00:28:19,033 --> 00:28:22,133 If the feet are together, step them hip width apart, 484 00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:24,400 you're gonna bring the fingertips to your side. 485 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,133 Take what you need, leave what you don't, 486 00:28:26,133 --> 00:28:28,433 so if you need to fix stuff, great, 487 00:28:28,433 --> 00:28:31,834 but if you don't, leave it, it's a practice. 488 00:28:31,834 --> 00:28:33,033 There's a lot more to that. 489 00:28:33,033 --> 00:28:35,033 Alright, it wouldn't be a special practice 490 00:28:35,033 --> 00:28:37,033 if we didn't do some knocking on heaven's door, 491 00:28:37,033 --> 00:28:40,400 so plant your feet, find soft bend in the knees, 492 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,300 open up through the chest, think of someone you love. 493 00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:47,467 Dedicate this next little beat to someone you love, 494 00:28:47,467 --> 00:28:50,266 whether they're here, present with you, 495 00:28:50,266 --> 00:28:52,500 in body, or just in spirit. 496 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,934 And take a deep breath in. 497 00:28:55,934 --> 00:28:56,767 Then on the exhale, 498 00:28:56,767 --> 00:28:58,233 you're gonna just swing your arms 499 00:28:58,233 --> 00:29:00,567 to one side, back and forth. 500 00:29:04,433 --> 00:29:06,300 Now, it's important to keep soft bend in the knees, 501 00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,633 so you don't tweak your knee, and stay a little bit alive 502 00:29:08,633 --> 00:29:11,633 in your toes, I like to kinda lift my toes. 503 00:29:11,633 --> 00:29:12,767 And then I thought this was a good one, 504 00:29:12,767 --> 00:29:14,266 because we're probably gonna get a lot of people 505 00:29:14,266 --> 00:29:16,333 on this livestream, I hope, I haven't checked it, 506 00:29:16,333 --> 00:29:18,266 I'm just going in blind here, 507 00:29:18,266 --> 00:29:21,233 but this is one that will really help you forget 508 00:29:21,233 --> 00:29:23,133 what you think you know about yoga. 509 00:29:23,133 --> 00:29:25,166 So this is stuff we used to do as a kid, 510 00:29:25,166 --> 00:29:28,133 so you can start to beat yourself a little too here. 511 00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:30,367 (chuckles) 512 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,700 Get into a rhythm. 513 00:29:34,867 --> 00:29:37,667 "She told me to beat myself!" 514 00:29:37,667 --> 00:29:40,233 You know what I mean, find a little connection. 515 00:29:40,233 --> 00:29:42,133 And then keep it going. 516 00:29:43,633 --> 00:29:45,600 For all my Kundalini homies out there, 517 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,066 maybe you find a sharp exhale. 518 00:29:48,066 --> 00:29:50,700 (exhaling) 519 00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:52,934 Or
