00:00:56,456 --> 00:00:58,538 Strength. 17 00:00:58,538 --> 00:01:01,261 So we think of a strong yoga practice, 18 00:01:01,261 --> 00:01:05,599 we think, ah physical muscles and we are going to have

your gaze and think of one thing 22 00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:16,543 that you love about yourself. 23 00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:20,342 Just honestly, don't hold back. 24 00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:25,319 No holding back, just think of one thing 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,982 that you're like, I'm pretty awesome at this, 26 00:01:29,982 --> 00:01:32,826 or I love this about myself. 27 00:01:32,826 --> 00:01:34,995 Anything at all, no rules. 28 00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:46,263 Okay, taking a moment to think of one thing 29 00:01:46,263 --> 00:01:49,309 that you just love about yourself. 30 00:01:55,515 --> 00:01:57,451 And when you feel like you have something, anything, 31 00:01:57,451 --> 00:02:01,917 anything at all, it could be 32 00:02:01,917 --> 00:02:03,457 simply that you love 33 00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:05,192 that you're showin' up for yourself here 34 00:02:05,192 --> 00:02:06,626 in this 31 day journey. 35 00:02:06,626 --> 00:02:08,762 You can get really specific. 36 00:02:08,762 --> 00:02:10,931 It can be 37 00:02:13,031 --> 00:02:15,467 anything really. 38 00:02:17,537 --> 00:02:19,667 If it feels like it's superficial even, 39 00:02:19,667 --> 00:02:20,841 no, it's perfect, 40 00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:24,911 just whatever you landed on, embrace it. 41 00:02:24,911 --> 00:02:26,146 One thing you love about yourself, 42 00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:28,148 and then let's take a deep breath in. 43 00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,985 Big, full, full, full, full, full breath. 44 00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:33,820 And a long breath out. 45 00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:37,424 And just hold on to that one thing you love about yourself 46 00:02:37,424 --> 00:02:42,129 as you breathe in, notice how it makes you feel. 47 00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:44,113 And breathe out. 48 00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,401 Way to show up for yourself today. 49 00:02:47,401 --> 00:02:48,235 Let's get crackin'. 50 00:02:48,235 --> 00:02:49,536 We're gonna bring the palms together. 51 00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:51,405 If you're feeling adventurous and fiery, 52 00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:53,674 clap the palms together. 53 00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:55,142 Jai namaste. 54 00:02:55,142 --> 00:02:59,346 And we're gonna come forward and through all fours 55 00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,315 and to our Downward Facing Dog, right away. 56 00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:04,718 Take a deep breath in when you get there. 57 00:03:04,718 --> 00:03:08,088 And a long breath out to shake the head loose. 58 00:03:08,088 --> 00:03:11,263 So, the mantra today 59 00:03:11,263 --> 00:03:13,293 is I am strong, 60 00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:15,929 but not in just the physical body, 61 00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:17,762 or working in the physical body, 62 00:03:17,762 --> 00:03:22,247 in mind and spirit. 63 00:03:22,247 --> 00:03:24,738 So hold on to that feeling you had 64 00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:27,441 when you thought about one thing you loved about yourself 65 00:03:27,441 --> 00:03:30,677 and anchor in that feeling, that sensation 66 00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:32,946 as you move here in Down Dog 67 00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:37,275 and begin to cultivate a more conscious breath. 68 00:03:40,287 --> 00:03:44,124 Press away from your yoga mat with your hands. 69 00:03:45,425 --> 00:03:50,063 And then slowly inhale, look forward, bend the knees, 70 00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:53,166 and exhale, make your way to the top. 71 00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,504 Forward Fold, take a couple breaths here. 72 00:03:58,371 --> 00:04:02,075 Strong awareness throughout the whole body. 73 00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:03,343 Let it unravel. 74 00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:16,723 So when we become strong and aware in our inner world, 75 00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:19,959 we're able to move with strength and awareness 76 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,394 in the outer world. 77 00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:25,866 So yes the body can be, and I would say is a reflection 78 00:04:25,866 --> 00:04:28,001 of that, so when we're strong in body, 79 00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:30,237 it's easier to move that way. 80 00:04:30,237 --> 00:04:32,038 But really it's gotta come from the right place, 81 00:04:32,038 --> 00:04:34,508 we can't just be arbitrarily building these muscles 82 00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:36,109 and then hope for the best. 83 00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:41,070 When we look in the mirror, we need to be able to feel 84 00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:44,184 the strength, not just see it. 85 00:04:44,184 --> 00:04:46,520 Okey doke, here we go. 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,822 Slowly rolling up whenever you're ready. 87 00:04:48,822 -->

together 93 00:05:11,177 --> 00:05:14,414 so you can really feel that awareness through the feet, 94 00:05:14,414 --> 00:05:17,184 that strong, four-part equal standing. 95 00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:19,619 You might even lift the toes so you can experiment 96 00:05:19,619 --> 00:05:21,388 with that, and then squeeze 97 00:05:21,388 --> 00:05:23,356 the legs together, really together. 98
