1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,935
- Hey everyone and 
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

2
00:00:01,935 --> 00:00:05,439
I'm Adriene and today 
on the Foundations of Yoga

3
00:00:05,439 --> 00:00:09,610
we're learning Rabbit Pose or
Bunny Posture or Hare Pose.

4
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:12,579
H-A-R-E. (laughs)

5
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:14,882
This is a great near inversion.

6
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:16,483
I love, love, love this posture

7
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:20,053
because it reminds me 
that we need to practice

8
00:00:20,053 --> 00:00:23,090
and be attentive 
to this idea of calm

9
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:25,525
and this practice of breathing

10
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:28,629
in tight or 
uncomfortable situations.

11
00:00:29,796 --> 00:00:31,565
The Foundations of 
Yoga series is really great

12
00:00:31,565 --> 00:00:32,799
'cause it just 
gives us an opportunity

13
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,968
to play with the postures, 
to break it down,

14
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:37,871
to workshop, to explore and
hopefully have a little fun.

15
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:40,540
So hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

16
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,877
(upbeat guitar music)

17
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:52,920
Alrighty my friends, welcome.

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,750
In the Foundations 
of Yoga series

19
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:56,657
we don't just do the pose,

20
00:00:56,657 --> 00:00:59,927
but we very much 
embrace this idea of process

21
00:00:59,927 --> 00:01:04,131
and really put that into
play while learning the pose.

22
00:01:04,131 --> 00:01:07,367
You're rarely going to 
see us just jump right into,

23
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:08,969
like today, Rabbit Posture,

24
00:01:08,969 --> 00:01:10,304
but rather we need 
to warm up the body

25
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:11,972
to make sure 
that we're connected.

26
00:01:11,972 --> 00:01:14,841
Right away, think of 
the body as one moving part,

27
00:01:14,841 --> 00:01:17,544
rather than a bunch 
of disjointed parts.

28
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:19,513
We're gonna maybe 
bring a little blanket

29
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:21,014
or towel to pad the knees.

30
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:22,516
We're gonna come to all fours

31
00:01:22,516 --> 00:01:27,154
and just start with some
gentle spinal flexion, Cat-Cow.

32
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:28,922
Most everyone is 
familiar with this.

33
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:30,824
See if you can slow it down

34
00:01:30,824 --> 00:01:33,126
and start to sync up 
with your breath right away.

35
00:01:33,126 --> 00:01:36,129
So as you inhale you 
press into your hands and feet

36
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:38,598
and drop the belly, 
open the chest.

37
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,068
Find length in the front body.

38
00:01:41,068 --> 00:01:45,772
And then as you exhale start
to round opposite direction,

39
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:50,644
chin to chest, heart lifts up
between the shoulder blades.

40
00:01:50,644 --> 00:01:51,645
You're really pressing

41
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:55,582
into the tops of your 
feet and all 10 fingers.

42
00:01:55,582 --> 00:01:59,653
Then again, inhale, drop 
the belly, open the chest.

43
00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:01,822
Gentle tug of the shoulders back

44
00:02:01,822 --> 00:02:05,292
so you create lots 
of length in the neck.

45
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:07,260
And then exhale, 
start with the tail,

46
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:10,297
rounding through chin to chest.

47
00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:13,000
Again, especially as we 
prepare for Rabbit Pose,

48
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,503
press away from your 
yoga mat so you feel this lift

49
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:20,674
in the upper back body, this
hollowing up through the chest.

50
00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:27,047
Alright, one more time, 
inhale to drop the belly.

51
00:02:27,047 --> 00:02:31,785
And exhale to really round,
draw the navel up this time.

52
00:02:31,785 --> 00:02:35,288
Press, press, press 
away from your foundation.

53
00:02:35,288 --> 00:02:39,760
Try to draw your nose 
towards your navel on this one.

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,827
Awesome, then inhale,

55
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,930
come back to a neutral 
position, neutral spine.

56
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:45,866
You're just gonna 
bump the hips to the left

57
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:48,969
and then turn and look 
past your right shoulder.

58
00:02:48,969 --> 00:02:50,737
Take a deep breath 
in and then exhale,

59
00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:53,573
press away from 
your hands and feet here.

60
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:56,877
And then slowly come 
back to the neutral spine.

61
00:02:56,877 --> 00:02:59,479
Awesome work, and then 
bump the hips to the right.

62
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,015
Turn and look past 
your left shoulder.

63
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:06,186
Inhale in and then exhale
press away from your yoga mat.

64
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:11,291
Beautiful, inhale, 
come back to neutral spine.

65
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:13,794
Then exhale, you're 
gonna drop the elbows

66
00:03:13,794 --> 00:03:16,029
right where the hands were.

67
00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:19,866
I have my blocks 
right here so I'll use them.

68
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:22,002
Nice and slow you're 
gonna walk the knees back

69
00:03:22,002 --> 00:03:24,271
and come into a 
heart-to-earth pose.

70
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:25,572
We're really opening up

71
00:03:25,572 --> 00:03:27,374
through the 
shoulders and chest here.

72
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:29,176
You're lifting up 
through the hip creases,

73
00:03:29,176 --> 00:03:33,313
feeling that stretch all the
way through the back body.

74
00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:35,515
If you have a block, 
it's nice to keep a block

75
00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:37,150
between the 
index finger and thumb

76
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:40,620
so that your fingers aren't
coming in or splaying out,

77
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,956
but staying nice and square.

78
00:03:45,258 --> 00:03:47,661
And then just lift your tail

79
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:52,515
and since we're 
focusing on Rabbit Pose today,

80
00:03:52,515 --> 00:03:54,201
think of a little bunny's tail.

81
00:03:54,201 --> 00:03:56,403
I know this is silly as heck,

82
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,472
but just give yourself a visual.

83
00:03:58,472 --> 00:04:01,241
Right at the coccyx you have
like a little bunny tail.

84
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:05,078
Try to lift that part up 
towards the sky even more,

85
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:08,081
creating more 
length and more space.

86
00:04:11,485 --> 00:04:15,655
Then breathe, send 
awareness with each inhale

87
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:17,724
all the way to your tail.

88
00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:23,463
And then back up and out
through the nose or the mouth.

89
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:26,299
Again, creating 
spaciousness here.

90
00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:30,871
Then connect to your core 
to come out of this shape.

91
00:04:30,871 --> 00:04:35,342
Draw the navel up and 
in, slowly rise back up.

92
00:04:35,342 --> 00:04:38,512
Walk the hands 
underneath the shoulders.

93
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:41,448
Walk the knees 
underneath the hips.

94
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:43,116
Cool.

95
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:45,385
Now we're gonna take the 
right fingertips forward.

96
00:04:45,385 --> 00:04:48,288
Feel light in your left wrist,

97
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:50,423
so don't crash 
into your left wrist.

98
00:04:50,423 --> 00:04:52,025
Lift your heart, 
feel a lightness

99
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:53,827
as you inhale, reach forward.

100
00:04:53,827 --> 00:04:55,695
And then exhale, 
thread the needle.

101
00:04:55,695 --> 00:04:57,764
We're waking up 
the upper back body.

102
00:04:57,764 --> 00:04:59,866
Right fingertips are 
gonna go underneath the bridge

103
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:02,169
of the right arm and 
you're gonna rest your right ear

104
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:04,404
on the earth or on a block.

105
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:12,491
Lots of loving, 
beautiful, big inhales here

106
00:05:12,491 --> 00:05:15,801
to really make the most of this.

107
00:05:19,052 --> 00:05:22,022
Then just notice where you
might be gripping or holding

108
00:05:22,022 --> 00:05:25,859
and see if you can 
soften there, breathe deep.

109
00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:28,762
Should feel really good.

110
00:05:28,762 --> 00:05:32,632
Then again you can imagine
that little pom-pom of a tail

111
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:36,036
on your coccyx and just lift
that part up towards the sky,

112
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:39,706
creating more 
spaciousness in the pelvis.

113
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:42,776
Lifting the hip creases 
up should feel really good.

114
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:45,612
Then last but not least, 
you can choose a variation

115
00:05:45,612 --> 00:05:48,148
with the left hand, either
taking it up towards the sky,

116
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:52,018
maybe left hand on 
the small of the back,

117
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:54,087
or all the way forward.

118
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:58,291
Make a choice and 
then take a deep breath in

119
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:00,126
and a long breath out.

120
00:06:01,127 --> 00:06:04,864
Then slowly we'll make 
our way back up through

121
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:07,267
and take it to the other side.

122
00:06:07,267 --> 00:06:08,969
Again, try to 
find a lightness here

123
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:10,604
so you're not just 
diving into the shape,

124
00:06:10,604 --> 00:06:12,706
but find a little buoyancy.

125
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:15,909
Use an inhale to reach 
the left fingertips forward.

126
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:17,777
Find expansion, length,

127
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:21,715
and then thread the 
needle on the other side.

128
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:26,686
Stay present, notice what 
it feels like on this side.

129
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:27,921
Breathing deep.

130
00:06:28,922 --> 00:06:30,257
Give the thinking 
mind a break here.

131
00:06:30,257 --> 00:06:33,893
Just stay present with 
the sensation of the body

132
00:06:33,893 --> 00:06:36,463
and the quality of your breath.

133
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:40,967
And again, 
lifting the hip creases,

134
00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:43,637
feeling the sits
bones spread left to right,

135
00:06:43,637 --> 00:06:46,473
creating an 
awesome spaciousness.

136
00:06:46,473 --> 00:06:49,609
Breathing, breathing, breathing.

137
00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:51,177
And when you're ready to,

138
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:54,414
find a variation that 
feels good with the top arm,

139
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:56,983
make a choice and breathe deep.

140
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,863
Take one more big inhale here.

141
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:14,370
Exhale to unravel and

142
00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:18,305
bring it back to 
center, awesome.

143
00:07:18,305 --> 00:07:22,075
Alright, so walk the knees
right underneath the hip points

144
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:23,410
if they're aren't already.

145
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:24,778
Notice I say hip points

146
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:27,180
because the hip 
sometimes is a little bit wider.

147
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,816
Wanna really bring 
these bones into alignment

148
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:32,118
so the top of the 
thigh bone's coming up

149
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:35,732
and into the hip crease here.

150
00:07:35,732 --> 00:07:39,426
Just an image, so 
we're stacking the bones.

151
00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:44,197
For now we're gonna come 
onto the tops of the feet.

152
00:07:44,197 --> 00:07:46,900
Right away we're gonna 
start to gather some energy

153
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:48,234
up through the lower belly.

154
00:07:48,234 --> 00:07:49,436
Here it is just kinda blah.

155
00:07:49,436 --> 00:07:51,971
We're gonna 
draw navel in and up,

156
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:55,408
find that Uddiyana 
Bandha, that navel lock.

157
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:57,110
Draw the navel in and up.

158
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:59,679
Then we're gonna slowly,

159
00:07:59,679 --> 00:08:01,881
you can of course use a little
blanket to pad the knees.

160
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:02,982
If you need to press pause

161
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:06,686
and go ahead and 
grab one, you can.

162
00:08:06,686 --> 00:08:08,822
But for Rabbit Pose 
we're really gonna focus

163
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:11,491
on the sensation over the shape.

164
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,693
I know when I was younger 
I used to just cram myself

165
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:15,962
into this posture 
'cause I wanted to make it.

166
00:08:15,962 --> 00:08:19,232
Now I've backed 
off a lot to just focus

167
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,334
on the sensation over the shape.

168
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:23,837
It's amazing how, if 
you practice this regularly,

169
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:28,227
it will evolve, body is amazing.

170
00:08:28,227 --> 00:08:31,010
Nice and slow we're 
gonna walk the fingertips

171
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:32,479
underneath the shoulder blades

172
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:34,847
and just narrow 
this Tabletop Position

173
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:36,850
so that the spine 
is starting to round.

174
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,284
The navel's drawing in and up.

175
00:08:39,284 --> 00:08:42,054
Obviously now 
my upper back bardy,

176
00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:45,258
let's party, upper back bardy.

177
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:48,155
My upper back body 
(chuckles)


178
00:08:48,155 --> 00:08:50,435
is starting to lift up,

179
00:08:50,435 --> 00:08:52,399
chest lifting.

180
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,535
There's like this 
doming effect, right?

181
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:59,606
Okay, so I'm cultivating 
the support from within

182
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:01,975
with Mula Bandha, 
pelvic floor lift.

183
00:09:01,975 --> 00:09:05,211
Navel draws in and up, 
I hug the lower ribs in.

184
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:08,047
You might just stay 
here working on this.

185
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:11,351
So great for the upper back
body, so great for your posture.

186
00:09:11,351 --> 00:09:14,220
Press into the tops of the feet.

187
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,592
So great for the nervous system,


188
00:09:16,592 --> 00:09:19,592
and breathe, to continue.

189
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:22,562
I'm gonna slowly maintain
this energy in the front body,

190
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:24,197
this gathering up and in.

191
00:09:24,197 --> 00:09:25,932
Press into the tops of the feet.

192
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:28,668
I'm gonna continue to 
walk my hands all the way back

193
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:29,803
and as I do that,

194
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:34,641
I'm gonna reach the crown of
my head towards the ground.

195
00:09:34,641 --> 00:09:37,844
In order to do that, I'm gonna
draw my nose towards my navel

196
00:09:37,844 --> 00:09:41,448
to maybe get the crown 
of the head on the ground.

197
00:09:41,448 --> 00:09:44,818
If not, I'll just 
work as best I can.

198
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:49,456
I can also use a block or 
a little stacking of towels

199
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:50,857
to bring the crown of the head

200
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:53,460
to the mat there and work here.

201
00:09:55,462 --> 00:09:56,963
Crown of the head 
comes to the ground,

202
00:09:56,963 --> 00:10:00,233
chin comes in up 
towards the chest.

203
00:10:00,233 --> 00:10:02,135
I'm not worrying 
about grabbing my heels yet,

204
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:05,004
I'm just working on 
finding this support,

205
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:07,640
this gathering of 
energy through the front body

206
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,410
as I press into 
the tops of the feet.

207
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:12,011
You can take breaks at any time.

208
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:15,081
We're here to 
workshop this and play.

209
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:20,286
See if you can bring your
breath more into the picture

210
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,455
the longer you're in this shape.

211
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:25,625
Let the breath 
support you, guide you.

212
00:10:26,526 --> 00:10:29,796
And then if you're here, you
might interlace the fingertips

213
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:33,266
or grab opposite 
wrists behind the legs.

214
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:35,086
We start to find a little


215
00:10:35,086 --> 00:10:36,736
pressing of the 
tops of the feet,

216
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:39,606
a little resistance 
as we lift the hips up

217
00:10:39,606 --> 00:10:43,576
and then press into the earth,
so a little yielding here.

218
00:10:43,576 --> 00:10:46,279
Playing with opposition.

219
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,848
I'm not gripping, 
I'm not holding,

220
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:52,585
I'm not clenching in my 
jaw or furrowing my brow.

221
00:10:52,585 --> 00:10:55,722
I'm breathing nice and easy.

222
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:58,157
Cool, press into 
the tops of the feet,

223
00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:02,762
release the arms, and 
slow and in control roll up.

224
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:04,564
Stack head over heart, 
heart over pelvis.

225
00:11:04,564 --> 00:11:06,900
We'll just be here for one
beat just to give it a break,

226
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,469
especially if this shape is new,

227
00:11:09,469 --> 00:11:13,185
and then enjoy that yoga high.

228
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:18,755
Feeling good, rabbits.

229
00:11:18,755 --> 00:11:21,447
Alright, let's go 
for it one more time.

230
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:23,149
Make sure the knees are in check

231
00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:25,251
right underneath the hip points.

232
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:27,654
Take a deep breath in, 
long breath out.

233
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:30,623
Connect to your feet, don't
forget about your feet here.

234
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:32,158
Hands are gonna 
come down to the earth.

235
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:33,826
As you're ready, walk 'em back.

236
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:35,094
As you start to walk 'em back,

237
00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:37,964
start to cultivate that energy
up through the front body.

238
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:39,832
Maybe you just bring 
them behind the knees

239
00:11:39,832 --> 00:11:42,135
for this round again, 
grabbing opposite wrists

240
00:11:42,135 --> 00:11:44,637
or interlacing the fingertips.

241
00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:49,142
Or maybe this time you 
reach back to grab the heels.

242
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:50,977
Now, sometimes you 
can shorten the distance

243
00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:53,146
by curling the toes under, 
grabbing the heels,

244
00:11:53,146 --> 00:11:55,048
and then working from here.

245
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,716
But again, for too 
many years I feel like

246
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,685
I just wanted to 
come in the shape

247
00:11:58,685 --> 00:12:02,989
and I bypassed creating 
all this length and space.

248
00:12:02,989 --> 00:12:05,191
Now lift the hip creases 
up the same way you did

249
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,860
when we lifted our tails.

250
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:11,030
Press into the shins, press
into the tops of the feet.

251
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:12,765
I'm not putting a ton of weight

252
00:12:12,765 --> 00:12:14,033
on the crown of the head, guys.

253
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:17,770
I'm not hurting my neck, 
I'm being super mindful.

254
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:21,140
I'm keeping my 
shoulders nice and stable.

255
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:24,911
Breathing deep here, 
hugging the lower ribs in.

256
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:29,048
Creating so much 
spaciousness in the back body.

257
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:33,453
There's this gentle compression
on the internal organs

258
00:12:33,453 --> 00:12:36,522
as I lift up through the 
front body, so great

259
00:12:36,522 --> 00:12:40,915
for your body, 
oh my gosh, so good.

260
00:12:40,915 --> 00:12:43,763
Feeling the blood 
flow opposite direction.

261
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:45,565
This can be a 
frustrating posture too,

262
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:49,217
so just breathe deep, explore.

263
00:12:49,217 --> 00:12:51,070
Notice I'm not 
collapsing in the shoulders

264
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,905
but drawing them away.

265
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,210
One more breath 
here, you got it.

266
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:04,104
And then with control, slowly
release hands to support.

267
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:08,454
From here, we're gonna 
walk the hands forward

268
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:10,223
and we're gonna 
cross the ankles behind us

269
00:13:10,223 --> 00:13:12,792
and we're going to use 
the fingertips to guide you,

270
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:15,361
but we're gonna 
come to Sukhasana.

271
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:18,197
You should feel 
all the blood flow

272
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:23,436
shifting once again, it 
should feel really good.

273
00:13:23,436 --> 00:13:26,806
Just see if you can tag a little
weight in your elbows here

274
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:29,642
as you lift up 
through your heart.

275
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:32,655
Feels good.

276
00:13:38,251 --> 00:13:42,594
Rabbit Pose can 
bring energy to the body,

277
00:13:42,594 --> 00:13:46,251
it can bring a focus, a clarity.

278
00:13:46,251 --> 00:13:49,884
Nice, fresh rinse

279
00:13:49,884 --> 00:13:51,664
to the energetic channels

280
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:55,323
that run up and down the spine.

281
00:13:55,323 --> 00:13:59,930
Encouraging healthy 
flow of energy,

282
00:13:59,930 --> 00:14:02,252
healthy blood flow.

283
00:14:05,211 --> 00:14:10,251
I invite you to practice
Rabbit Pose maybe once a week

284
00:14:10,251 --> 00:14:13,186
and just see how it goes, 
see how it grows.

285
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:14,687
You can also add 
a little Rabbit Pose

286
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:15,988
to the end of another practice

287
00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:18,825
just like you would a 
Crow Pose or a back bend

288
00:14:18,825 --> 00:14:21,294
and just see how it 
evolves through time.

289
00:14:21,294 --> 00:14:25,198
We'll draw the hands 
together, Prayer Position.

290
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,768
And just because, 
let's think of something

291
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:31,938
that we're thankful for today

292
00:14:31,938 --> 00:14:35,575
and place it 
right between the hands.

293
00:14:35,575 --> 00:14:38,311
Could be someone or something.

294
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:40,446
It could be chocolate.

295
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:43,883
Whatever came to 
your mind, go with that.

296
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:48,054
Something you're grateful for.

297
00:14:50,123 --> 00:14:51,090
Then take a deep breath

298
00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:54,160
'cause we have so 
much to be grateful for.

299
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,897
For me, this yoga 
practice and this community

300
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,866
is certainly one of them,

301
00:14:59,866 --> 00:15:02,835
one of the things 
I am most grateful for.

302
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:06,172
Inhale, lift your heart, smile.

303
00:15:06,172 --> 00:15:07,406
Exhale, we bow.

304
00:15:09,308 --> 00:15:10,576
Namaste.

305
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:13,913
(upbeat guitar music)
