slow 96 00:04:16,656 --> 00:04:18,692 and instead of just working to get your knee up, 97 00:04:18,692 --> 00:04:20,994 really pay attention to how this is all connected, 98 00:04:20,994 --> 00:04:22,850 the whole body is connected. 99 00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:28,235 So sometimes when we're tight 100 00:04:28,235 --> 00:04:30,537 in one area of the body, it's helpful 101 00:04:30,537 --> 00:04:34,574 to move the whole body with breath to tend to it 102 00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:37,377 rather than just targeting that one spot. 103 00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:42,716 Alright, the next time your left knee's up, 104 00:04:42,716 --> 00:04:45,752 plant that left foot into the ground. 105 00:04:45,752 --> 00:04:48,488 Use your hands to sit up nice and tall, breathe deep here. 106 00:04:50,724

00:05:06,673 Alright, bring the soles of the feet together here. 112 00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:10,143 We're gonna grab the ankles, and nice and slow, 113 00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,579 bring the knees up and in, feet come to the ground, 114 00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:14,347 and then bring the feet together, 115 00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:16,483 takes the knees down and out. 116 00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:19,286

you might take a second here to close your eyes 120 00:05:26,927 --> 00:05:32,366 and just think about a beautiful, colorful butterfly. 121 00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:40,657 Maybe if you are a kid, or a kid at heart, 122 00:05:40,657 --> 00:05:42,309 you might take this moment here 123 00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:45,011 to ask what color butterfly would you be, 124 00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:46,213 if you
