1 00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:03,469 - Hey everyone and welcome to your 31 Day Yoga Revolution. 2 00:00:03,469 --> 00:00:05,638 It's day 24, 3 00:00:05,638 --> 00:00:07,908 and today is really awesome. 4 00:00:07,908 --> 00:00:10,878 We are practicing patience. 5 00:00:10,878 --> 00:00:13,046 Chka-chka-chka-chka-chkhhhh! 6 00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:14,281 Let's get started. 7 00:00:14,281 --> 00:00:17,784 (lively orchestral music) 8 00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:25,726 Alright, today let's begin on our backs, 9 00:00:25,726 --> 00:00:27,060 so come on down. 10 00:00:28,462 --> 00:00:31,298 Take a second to hug your knees into your chest. 11 00:00:31,298 --> 00:00:34,768 When you get there, rock a little side to side. 12 00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:36,737 Feel the earth 13 00:00:36,737 --> 00:00:38,906 ♫ Move under my feet 14 00:00:38,906 --> 00:00:41,942 Just kidding, feel the earth underneath you. 15 00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:44,778 Maybe a little foot massage today. 16 00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:52,219 Alright, and here is where we transition 17 00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:55,422 from whatever it was that you were doing before 18 00:00:55,422 --> 00:00:59,173 to the present moment, your practice. 19 00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:04,096 So many of us have a lot of responsibilities. 20 00:01:04,096 --> 00:01:07,808 The world asks us 21 00:01:07,808 --> 00:01:09,598 to be ambitious, 22 00:01:09,598 --> 00:01:11,538 to work hard, 23 00:01:11,538 --> 00:01:15,876 to take care of others, so now is the time 24 00:01:15,876 --> 00:01:17,878 to take care of yourself. 25 00:01:17,878 --> 00:01:22,349 To practice, to play, and to just be present 26 00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:25,152 with what is, and sometimes that can be really frustrating 27 00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:29,089 and so we use the yoga asana to help navigate that, 28 00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:33,160 negotiate that, so today's practice is about patience, 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,209 practicing, keyword patience. 30 00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:40,100 So after you've taken a couple moments to roll around 31 00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:44,425 like a bug, come into this moment 32 00:01:44,425 --> 00:01:45,605 really owning it, 33 00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:47,541 taking it for yourself. 34 00:01:49,276 --> 00:01:50,444 We're gonna do some core. 35 00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:51,278 (laughs) 36 00:01:51,278 --> 00:01:53,747 So after you've settled in, we're gonna do some core. 37 00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:55,849 But, nice and mindful, so we're just gonna start 38 00:01:55,849 --> 00:02:00,714 by opening the legs out wide and closing, 39 00:02:01,755 --> 00:02:04,725 and then open the knees out wide. 40 00:02:04,725 --> 00:02:05,892 And close. 41 00:02:05,892 --> 00:02:09,062 And nothin' like doin' this on YouTube, love my life. 42 00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:10,931 Just kidding, and close. 43 00:02:10,931 --> 00:02:13,066 And open one more time. 44 00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:13,900 And close. 45 00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,136 Next time you open, stay there. 46 00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:17,838 Flex the feet, spread the toes. 47 00:02:17,838 --> 00:02:19,506 You can also point the toes, just lots of energy 48 00:02:19,506 --> 00:02:23,443 in the toes, and you're gonna reach forward, 49 00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:24,945 and scoop the tailbone up, 50 00:02:24,945 --> 00:02:27,748 and we're just gonna breathe here. 51 00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:30,384 Careful not to really crunch here, 52 00:02:30,384 --> 00:02:34,554 so keep a little space between your chin and your chest. 53 00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:39,760 And this is really great if you're working on Crow Pose. 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,396 Scoop the tailbone up. 55 00:02:42,396 --> 00:02:45,565 Lift your heart, really feel that squeeze 56 00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:48,602 in the abdominal wall, and then reach a little further, 57 00:02:48,602 --> 00:02:51,505 lift your head, your neck, your chest up even more, 58 00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:53,674 and then one more breath, reach a little further. 59 00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:54,875 Give it all you've got. 60 00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:55,942 Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. 61 00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:56,810 Feel that tremble. 62 00:02:56,810 --> 00:02:58,945 All those muscles turn on. 63 00:02:58,945 --> 00:03:02,516 Yay, and then release, give yourself a hug. 64 00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:03,750 Be affectionate. 65 00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,485 Be kind to yourself. 66 00:03:05,485 --> 00:03:06,319 Mmmm. 67 00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:09,523 Wonderful. 68 00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:12,359 Cross the right leg over the left. 69 00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,429 Grab the ankles, the big toes, 70 00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:18,098 or if you can grab on to the outer edges of the feet here, 71 00:03:18,098 --> 00:03:20,267 do, but don't feel like you have to push. 72 00:03:20,267 --> 00:03:23,603 You can also grab onto your pant leg or again, the ankle. 73 00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:26,406 And then we're gonna kick the toes out here. 74 00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:30,310 Breathing, sending lots of awareness and breath 75 00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:34,047 and love to the hips, something we have to be 76 00:03:35,482 --> 00:03:38,085 quite patient with I feel like in our yoga practice. 77 00:03:38,085 --> 00:03:40,353 No matter how many years I've practiced, 78 00:03:40,353 --> 00:03:43,430 I come to a pose that asks 79 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:47,874 my hips to engage and to open 80 00:03:47,874 --> 00:03:51,431 and I feel like beginner's mind all over again, 81 00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:54,868 so have to be really patient and present. 82 00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:59,072 'Tis the way to be, unravel. 83 00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,308 Switch, left leg goes on top. 84 00:04:01,308 --> 00:04:02,976 This hip will be different. 85 00:04:02,976 --> 00:04:05,645 Be mindful, so you grab the ankles, the pant leg, 86 00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:07,981 the big toes, or the outer edges of your feet, 87 00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:11,751 and then this can sometimes be a little yoga for the brain 88 00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:13,120 too, a little coordination, 89 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,189 great for mind-body coordination. 90 00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:19,583 Toes reach out and up. 91 00:04:21,695 --> 00:04:22,829 Some people know what I'm talkin' about, 92 00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:25,165 others'll be like, I got it. 93 00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:27,834 And flex your feet. 94 00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:30,370 And then send lots of awareness to your left hip, 95 00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:33,406 to both hips actually, just send some breath down, 96 00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:35,775 down, down, play with that directional breath 97 00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:39,112 as you breathe in, the air travels all the way 98 00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:41,348 down towards your tailbone. 99 00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:45,318 And as you breathe out, it comes all the way up 100 00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:47,320 and shoots out the nose. 101 00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:51,892 Fabulous, unravel. 102 00:04:51,892 --> 00:04:53,527 Bring your hands to your knees 103 00:04:53,527 --> 00:04:56,163 and you're just gonna reach your knees towards 104 00:04:56,163 --> 00:04:59,340 the front edge of your mat so that your lower back comes up. 105 00:05:00,908 --> 00:05:02,736 So make adjustments as you need. 106 00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:05,152 Should feel really good. 107 00:05:05,152 --> 00:05:07,440 Again, I'm reaching my knees forward. 108 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,411 I'm adjusting so that my lower back can come up 109 00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:12,646 off of the mat. 110 00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:22,289 And now we're gonna take it to the opposite dimension, 111 00:05:22,289 --> 00:05:23,657 so tuck the chin into the chest, 112 00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:25,892 bring the lower back flush with the mat, 113 00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:29,362 squeeze the knees in, then engage your abdominal wall, 114 00:05:29,362 --> 00:05:32,032 hug those lower ribs in, scoop the tail up, 115 00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,601 and lift the shins so they're parallel to the ceiling. 116 00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:36,703 That's just the guide as always. 117 00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:38,605 So, parallel to the ceiling may mean 118 00:05:38,605 --> 00:05:39,973 that your lower back is coming up 119 00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:43,276 so you might actually bring the knees a little bit forward. 120 00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:47,180 What you're looking for is that strong, firm connect 121 00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:50,317 to your mat with your lower back, nice and flush. 122 00:05:50,317 --> 00:05:51,418 Alright, and then when you feel like 123 00:05:51,418 --> 00:05:53,920 you have that connect, interlace the fingertips, 124 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,522 bring them behind the head. 125 00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:59,326 You can extend the thumbs, sneak in a little neck massage. 126 00:05:59,326 --> 00:06:02,796 Then big inhale, open the elbows wide. 127 00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:07,334 Maintain that as you slowly exhale, lift the head, 128 00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:09,269 keep your gaze up so you can look at the video 129 00:06:09,269 --> 00:06:14,241 if you need to, but then take your gaze up and back. 130 00:06:14,241 --> 00:06:17,377 So we're keeping this length through the crown of the head 131 00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:20,480 and this awareness through the whole torso and the spine 132 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,550 as we engage through the core. 133 00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:25,051 Alright, keep breathing here. 134 00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,687 You can even use your hands to gently tuck the chin 135 00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:30,023 and lengthen the back of the head 136 00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:32,392 towards the back edge of your mat. 137 00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:36,296 Breathe, start to fire up a breath here. 138 00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:38,331 Alright, and then we're gonna focus on not just 139 00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:40,767 bringing the right elbow to the left knee, 140 00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:44,137 but actually the right shoulder to the center of your chest, 141 00:06:44,137 --> 00:06:45,772 so practice that really fast. 142 00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:49,409 So rather than trying to kiss elbow to knee, 143 00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:52,078 bring your right shoulder to the center of your chest, 144 00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:55,749 so really getting into the abdominals here. 145 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:57,017 Yes. 146 00:06:57,017 --> 00:06:58,818 And then practice the other side. 147 00:06:58,818 --> 00:07:03,356 So instead of left elbow to knee, think about bringing 148 00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:06,526 your left shoulder to the center of your chest 149 00:07:06,526 --> 00:07:10,597 and notice that sensation, that feeling. 150 00:07:10,597 --> 00:07:13,366 Yep, bring it back to center and let's rock and roll. 151 00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:14,367 Inhale in. 152 00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:19,172 Exhale, twist, right shoulder to the center of your chest. 153 00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:21,207 Inhale to lower. 154 00:07:21,207 --> 00:07:25,245 Exhale, left shoulder to the center of your chest. 155 00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,180 Maintain this awareness through the spine. 156 00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:28,915 As you inhale, find length. 157 00:07:28,915 --> 00:07:30,383 Exhale, twist. 158 00:07:30,383 --> 00:07:32,652 Right shoulder to the center of your chest.

00:07:40,327 --> 00:07:43,797 Exhale, right shoulder to your heart. 163 00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,832 Inhale, look up, lengthen. 164 00:07:45,832 --> 00:07:49,135 Exhale, left shoulder to your heart. 165 00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:51,104 Inhale to lengthen. 166 00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,239 Exhale to twist. 167 00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:54,808 And feel the difference as you work 168 00:07:54,808 --> 00:07:58,278 shoulder to heart center, so great. 169 00:07:58,278 --> 00:07:59,412 Keep it going. 170 00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:01,581 Inhale to find expansion. 171 00:08:01,581 --> 00:08:03,350 Exhale to contract. 172 00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:05,418 Squeeze that tailbone up. 173 00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:09,389 Keep it going. 174 00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:19,866 Alright, now the next time you bring right shoulder 175 00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:22,068 to the center of your chest, you're gonna extend 176 00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:24,304 the left leg all the way up towards the ceiling, 177 00:08:24,304 --> 00:08:26,706 and then slowly lower it all the way to the ground, 178 00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:28,908 just to hover actually, not to the ground. 179 00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:31,144 Hover, hover, we're here

gripping onto. 205 00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:32,639 And rising all the way up. 206 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,744 Alright, when you get there, send the legs out long. 207 00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:40,747 Dandasana, Stick Pose or Staff Pose. 208 00:09:41,614 --> 00:09:44,384 Fingertips or palms come right to the hip points 209 00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:47,120 or maybe even slightly behind. 210 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,722 And we loop the shoulders, really wrap around 211 00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:52,725 the back body and find that lift in the heart. 212 00:09:52,725 --> 00:09:54,828 Firm down through the tops of the thighs. 213 00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,764 Take a couple deep breaths in here. 214 00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:01,634 Using this posture not as a place to sit and wait, 215 00:10:01,634 --> 00:10:06,487 but rather, to check in with your energetic body, 216 00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:11,377 to give the thinking mind a break, 217 00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:15,248 and to tap into that self awareness, that discipline 218 00:10:15,248 --> 00:10:19,619 of really embodying a posture, maybe lifting the heels up 219 00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:21,454 or spreading the toes. 220 00:10:22,352 --> 00:10:24,657 Go through your checklist. 221 00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:32,932 Wonderful, then press into your hands, lift the hips, 222 00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:35,835 bring them down so that your knees bend here. 223 00:10:35,835 --> 00:10:39,138 We open up through the chest, big inhale. 224 00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:42,175 And then exhale, we're gonna cross the right ankle 225 00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:43,409 over the left here. 226 00:10:43,409 --> 00:10:44,944 Start to open up through the hips. 227 00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:48,381 Now you can adjust your hands now to turn the fingertips out 228 00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:52,152 or behind, I'm gonna go behind, but keep that lift 229 00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:53,820 in the armpit chest. 230 00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,657 Nice and active in the foot here. 231 00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:01,294 To go a little deeper, of course you'll walk the left heel 232 00:11:01,294 --> 00:11:04,163 closer in towards your body. 233 00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:08,601 And to ease up you'll inch your toesies out. 234 00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:11,404 So we're sending breath, love, awareness to the hip, 235 00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:14,707 but maintaining that lift, that length through 236 00:11:14,707 --> 00:11:16,473 the entire spine. 237 00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:24,844 Wonderful, with control, so we try to watch out 238 00:11:24,844 --> 00:11:26,486 for that slingshot effect here. 239 00:11:26,486 --> 00:11:30,890 Try to keep energy through the foot as you release, yeah. 240 00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:33,927 And we'll take it to the other side. 241 00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:37,063 Left ankle crosses over the right. 242 00:11:37,063 --> 00:11:40,633 Just honor, see how this side is different. 243 00:11:42,835 --> 00:11:45,805 And then again, you can walk the heel in or out, 244 00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:49,242 breathing deep, lots of awareness in that left foot. 245 00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:52,078 Lift up through your armpit chest. 246 00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,883 Tap into that inner smile. 247 00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:07,627 And then again here, try to resist the slingshot effect, 248 00:12:07,627 --> 00:12:10,597 so with control, moving from your center 249 00:12:10,597 --> 00:12:12,165 even here, release. 250 00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:16,169 Yeah, Dandasana, we return. 251 00:12:16,169 --> 00:12:18,471 Fingertips or palms to the earth. 252 00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:21,541 We sit up nice and tall, maybe try to lift the heels, 253 00:12:21,541 --> 00:12:24,877 hug the elbows in, and again, imagine you're sitting up 254 00:12:24,877 --> 00:12:26,012 against a wall here. 255 00:12:26,012 --> 00:12:28,181 So we're honoring the natural curve of the spine, 256 00:12:28,181 --> 00:12:30,750 but the energetic body is trying to be 257 00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:33,252 really nice and tall and long. 258 00:12:37,457 --> 00:12:39,826 Alright, big breath in. 259 00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:40,827 Big breath out. 260 00:12:40,827 --> 00:12:41,728 Grab the right knee. 261 00:12:41,728 --> 00:12:42,662 Lift it up. 262 00:12:44,631 --> 00:12:47,267 And a twist to the right, so you can hook the left elbow 263 00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:50,036 around the left knee, or you can take the bind, 264 00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:51,237 but just make sure you're not pinching 265 00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:52,505 or holding, keep it soft. 266 00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:54,841 Make sure when you breathe, you can feel that expansion 267 00:12:54,841 --> 00:12:58,311 we've been working on, that buoyancy as you breathe in. 268 00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:01,681 And if buoyant breath doesn't really mean anything to you 269 00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:03,750 then just make sure that you can take a breath 270 00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:05,718 that feels good. 271 00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:09,055 Alright, right fingertips come all the way up and around 272 00:13:09,055 --> 00:13:12,358 and we're twisting to the right here. 273 00:13:12,358 --> 00:13:13,671 Breathing. 274 00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:22,769 One more breath. 275 00:13:22,769 --> 00:13:26,439 See if you can really feel your belly, your waistline 276 00:13:26,439 --> 00:13:28,508 expand as you breathe in. 277 00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:32,145 And then exhale to release. 278 00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,013 Keep the right knee hugging in. 279 00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:36,249 Send the right fingertips forward. 280 00:13:36,249 --> 00:13:37,450 Then reach, reach, reach forward 281 00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:39,752 and we're gonna actually wrap around. 282 00:13:39,752 --> 00:13:43,990 So we're just gonna wrap around so that the right hand 283 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:46,759 is coming to the hip crease here. 284 00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:51,164 But, if you'd like to start to work with the bind, 285 00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,366 you'll swim the left fingertips around 286 00:13:53,366 --> 00:13:56,803 and then maybe they interlace here right on my mic pack. 287 00:13:56,803 --> 00:13:57,804 Cool. 288 00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:00,826 Okay, so when we learn things 289 00:14:00,826 --> 00:14:03,576 like binds or balancing poses 290 00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:05,978 in yoga, we can get really caught up in the goal 291 00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:10,995 of the pose, so we practice patience and remember, 292 00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:15,755 our focus, our commitment to the process. 293 00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:20,393 So we're here, everyone loop the shoulders, open the chest, 294 00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:22,528 or maybe we're working towards that bind, 295 00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:24,464 but we're honoring each breath, 296 00:14:24,464 --> 00:14:29,202 super present for every inhale and every exhale. 297 00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:32,405 Great, take one more inhale as you open the chest 298 00:14:32,405 --> 00:14:34,107 and find length through the crown. 299 00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:35,708 Look forward. 300 00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:38,611 And then exhale, again, resist the slingshot effect 301 00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:41,317 as you slowly release, 302 00:14:41,317 --> 00:14:44,659 Dandasana, Stick Pose or Staff Pose. 303 00:14:46,819 --> 00:14:48,454 And if you've practiced with me before, 304 00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:51,987 then you know danda is Sanskrit 305 00:14:51,987 --> 00:14:54,227 for the stick or the staff, 306 00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,529 literally here Dandasana, right, that holds us up, 307 00:14:56,529 --> 00:14:59,165 so focus on that lift up through the front body 308 00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:01,701 and that grounding energy through the back body. 309 00:15:01,701 --> 00:15:02,835 Look at me, I'm like 310 00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:05,271 ♫ Huh ha ha ha ha 311 00:15:05,271 --> 00:15:07,940 Yes, okay, hug the left knee in. 312 00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:10,843 Find your breath. 313 00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:14,814 Twisting to the left nice and easy. 314 00:15:14,814 --> 00:15:17,717 We'll hook the elbow or you're welcome to take the bind, 315 00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:21,888 just make sure you're not pinching off your breath. 316 00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:29,962 Inhale, think upward. 317 00:15:29,962 --> 00:15:32,965 Lift up, find that upward current. 318 00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:35,434 And then exhale, draw the navel in and maybe 319 00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:39,071 you journey a little more into your twist. 320 00:15:39,071 --> 00:15:43,042 Twists require a lot of patience as well. 321 00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:46,279 Wham-bamming into a twist, not a great idea. 322 00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:47,814 Doesn't really feel great either, 323 00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:51,284 or it feels good for a second and then it's not 324 00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:53,252 long lasting, right, it's just like a quick 325 00:15:53,252 --> 00:15:54,921 honeymoon feel good. 326 00:15:57,557 --> 00:15:59,492 So you can take that into your other practices. 327 00:15:59,492 --> 00:16:01,794 And in twists, really practicing patience, 328 00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:02,862 using your breath. 329 00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:04,697 Inhale as you lift and lengthen. 330 00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:08,134 Exhale as you twist or journey into the twist 331 00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:11,871 as I like to say as a reminder to myself. 332 00:16:11,871 --> 00:16:14,246 Okay, slowly come back. 333 00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:18,477 Find that Dandasana, keep the left knee hugging in, 334 00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:21,080 and then we're gonna reach the left fingertips forward, 335 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,183 find length through the left side body. 336 00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:27,887 Squeeze that left knee in, and then reach around, just play. 337 00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:29,822 We're just playin' here, havin' some fun 338 00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:32,158 and reachin' around, do your best. 339 00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,493 Maybe the left hand comes to the left hip crease here. 340 00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:38,297 If it only comes to the ankle here, amazing, own it. 341 00:16:38,297

00:16:52,753 all the way around to join the left fingertips for our bind. 345 00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:58,899 But maybe not, maybe we 346 00:16:58,899 --> 00:17:00,119 use this opportunity 347 00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:03,289 as a reminder 348 00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:07,291 to focus on the process. 349 00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:11,464 Are you breathing? 350 00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:15,001 Find one

00:19:55,361 and with practice this becomes, I won't say more easy, 406 00:19:55,361 --> 00:20:00,034 but we'll be able to access, find more ease. 407 00:20:02,168 --> 00:20:06,338 I just remember days of like really there's no way 408 00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:09,942 I could not put weight in my fingers, so just be patient. 409 00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:11,510 (laughs) 410 00:20:11,510 -->

00:22:09,361 to a nice, low lunge, using the hands 442 00:22:09,361 --> 00:22:11,764 to frame the right foot again. 443 00:22:11,764 --> 00:22:13,933 Inhale, look forward. 444 00:22:13,933 -->

blades 468 00:23:11,991 --> 00:23:14,860 around and find length, but your lower back's gonna speak 469 00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:17,329 to you here, if it doesn't feel good, 470 00:23:17,329 -->

with a little wave in the spine here, 493 00:24:37,743 --> 00:24:41,534 finding a root of firmness through that back foot. 494 00:24:51,187 --> 00:24:55,294 Start to become absorbed in the sound of your breath here. 495 00:24:55,294 --> 00:24:58,030 Maybe you haven't quite really gotten into the groove 496 00:24:58,030 --> 00:25:01,110 with your breath.

left foot towards the left side of the mat. 503 00:25:22,287 --> 00:25:23,889 And then listening to your body, 504 00:25:23,889 --> 00:25:26,258 so maybe you curl the toes under and lift the back knee 505 00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:28,591 for a more active Lizard today. 506 00:25:28,591 --> 00:25:30,582 Fierce breath. 507 00:25:30,582 --> 00:25:32,231 Lowering to the forearms. 508 00:25:32,231 -->

00:25:45,077 and we bring the left shoulder around. 512 00:25:46,138 --> 00:25:48,080 And maybe we play here. 513 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,581 Maybe there's other variations here 514 00:25:49,581 --> 00:25:53,419 where we're working towards an arm balance. 515 00:25:53,419 --> 00:25:56,488 So everyone breathe wherever you are. 516 00:25:59,591 --> 00:26:01,427 Soften the jaw. 517 00:26:01,427 --> 00:26:05,597 Notice where you might be adding any extra added tension. 518 00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:08,200 So not only do we carry a tension in our body, 519 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,637 but I notice through teaching and sharing yoga, 520 00:26:11,637 --> 00:26:14,306 guiding yoga, that I notice a lot of times 521 00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:18,143 we don't even realize how we're adding extra tension 522 00:26:18,143 --> 00:26:22,024 to moments in asana and to our day. 523 00:26:23,415 --> 00:26:25,083 So it's really about the awareness. 524 00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:27,753 Okay, take one more breath

539 00:27:19,071 --> 00:27:20,439 Two more. 540 00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:21,974 Press into your foundation. 541 00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:22,808 Inhale. 542 00:27:25,911 --> 00:27:29,815 Can also just do a baby Cobra here, and exhale. 543 00:27:30,679 --> 00:27:33,452 And practice today is patience. 544 00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:36,121 One more, big inhale. 545 00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:41,059 And exhale. 546

idea of where the pose is going 580 00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:24,463 and if you're new to yoga, you're like, "No, I don't." 581 00:29:24,463 --> 00:29:26,565 (laughs) That's okay, we'll do this together. 582 00:29:26,565 --> 00:29:29,001 But let's see if we can really challenge ourselves, 583 00:29:29,001 --> 00:29:30,799 invite each other to really be present 584 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:34,873 in every step of the way, and just see what happens. 585 00:29:34,873 --> 00:29:38,744 So find that gathering of energy up from the pelvic floor. 586 00:29:38,744 --> 00:29:40,979 I love it when I do

but for now, lift, lift, lift. 593 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,442 And then see if you can do this without shifting 594 00:29:57,442 --> 00:29:59,965 your weight too far into your right hip, 595 00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:01,566 that's another thing. 596 00:30:01,566 --> 00:30:04,202 So, lift up, press away from your yoga mat 597 00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:05,804 and try to lift as we've been doing, 598 00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,873 lift, one moving part here, 599 00:30:07,873 --> 00:30:10,415 so I'm grounding into my right heel as I lift 600 00:30:10,415 --> 00:30:12,564 my left leg up. 601 00:30:12,564 --> 00:30:14,086 Then keep your right thumb here 602 00:30:14,086 --> 00:30:16,815 as a reminder for your sternum and slide your left hand 603 00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:20,152 down to grab your ankle, and then squeeze everything in, 604 00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:23,188 press away from your yoga mat with your standing leg 605 00:30:23,188 --> 00:30:25,190 or your right foot. 606 00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:26,491 And then be present here. 607 00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:31,142 Notice that ooh, that work that goes on, 608 00:30:31,142 --> 00:30:33,799 that activity, 609 00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:38,170 what is required of you to be here in this present moment. 610 00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:40,238 And then from here, you might flip the hand around 611 00:30:40,238 --> 00:30:43,175 to the arch of the foot, but you might just stay here 612 00:30:43,175 --> 00:30:44,943 working today, going, "Oh, there's so much 613 00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:47,045 "for me to work on here." 614 00:30:48,046 --> 00:30:49,347 M-kay. 615 00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:52,350 Then keep drawing energy up through the front body. 616 00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:55,287 Grounding through the back body. 617 00:30:55,287 --> 00:30:57,723 Playing with that opposition. 618 00:30:58,990 --> 00:31:01,860 And then maybe we release the right hand 619 00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:03,361 and start to reach it forward. 620 00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:07,032 Keep the chest open, shoulder blades drawing together. 621 00:31:07,032 --> 00:31:10,502 Heart space lifting and soft bend in that standing leg 622 00:31:10,502 --> 00:31:14,673 as you find buoyancy and take your process, your journey 623 00:31:15,941 --> 00:31:19,544 forward as you kick the left leg back, 624 00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:23,215 forward and back, breathing into your belly. 625 00:31:24,516 --> 00:31:26,985 And hold onto your focus here, squeeze the inner thighs 626 00:31:26,985 --> 00:31:29,054 towards the midline. 627 00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:31,857 And lift up through your center, so that scissor effect 628 00:31:31,857 --> 00:31:35,961 we've been playing with, and then just play here. 629 00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:40,098 Soft and easy in the face. 630 00:31:40,098 --> 00:31:42,934 Right shoulder dropping down. 631 00:31:42,934 --> 00:31:43,769 Breathe. 632 00:31:44,740 --> 00:31:47,806 Breathe, kicking left foot out and up. 633 00:31:47,806 --> 00:31:48,640 Reach. 634 00:31:50,315 --> 00:31:53,311 And then slow and resist the slingshot effect, 635 00:31:53,311 --> 00:31:55,147 come all the way back. 636 00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:57,649 Hands come together. 637 00:31:57,649 --> 00:31:59,718 We place the left foot down, so even if you fell out 638 00:31:59,718 --> 00:32:00,685 of the pose a million times, 639 00:32:00,685 --> 00:32:04,689 you can place the left foot down here mindfully. 640 00:32:05,657 --> 00:32:08,260 And then we'll take a deep breath in. 641 00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:10,228 And exhale to let it go. 642 00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:14,869 Fabulous. 643 00:32:14,869 --> 00:32:17,269 Shifting your weight to the left foot 644 00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:21,139 and then without shifting your weight to that hip, 645 00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:22,674 see if you can lift that right leg up 646 00:32:22,674 --> 00:32:25,177 just as we've been working on. 647 00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,879 And if you're really new to the practice 648 00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:30,649 or you're working on something that's healing, 649 00:32:30,649 --> 00:32:33,685 you might honestly just play here 650 00:32:33,685 --> 00:32:37,856 working with this

00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:50,468 we might grab the ankle, maybe you're here already. 655 00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:51,636 And work here. 656 00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:57,108 And then we might flip it and come around here. 657 00:32:57,108 --> 00:32:59,211 And then all that gathering of the energy 658 00:32:59,211 --> 00:33:01,546 that you've done here in your center, your core, 659 00:33:01,546 -->

ease as you send the left fingertips forward 663 00:33:10,755 --> 00:33:15,346 and begin to work here, savoring the process 664 00:33:15,346 --> 00:33:17,395 as you squeeze and press. 665 00:33:18,230

stability. 672 00:33:41,453 --> 00:33:44,055 Soft bend in your standing leg. 673 00:33:44,055 --> 00:33:47,359 You got this, take one more breath. 674 00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:51,296 And then use an exhale to slowly bring it back. 675 00:33:51,296 --> 00:33:53,531 No matter where you are, everyone find a lightness, 676 00:33:53,531 --> 00:33:54,633 whatever that means to you. 677 00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:56,744 Maybe it's hee. 678 00:33:56,744 --> 00:34:00,071 And then place your right foot down with care. 679 00:34:01,907 --> 00:34:04,743 Beautiful, big inhale. 680 00:34:06,011 --> 00:34:07,679

the yoga mat once again. 690 00:34:34,306 --> 00:34:37,909 This time let your toes spill off the edge. 691 00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:43,815 And then allow your knees to track your toes. 692 00:34:43,815 --> 00:34:46,952 Press into the outer edges of your feet and come down 693 00:34:46,952 --> 00:34:49,530 into a nice yogic squat. 694 00:34:51,989 --> 00:34:53,792 When the cool weather comes in, 695 00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:56,293 I feel like the floor gets creakier. 696 00:34:56,293 --> 00:34:57,829 Press the palms together. 697 00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:59,698 If your heels are lifted here, fabulous. 698 00:34:59,698 --> 00:35:02,467 Opportunity here to practice Crow, 699 00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:07,120 a posture that requires patience, discipline. 700 00:35:08,997 --> 00:35:11,343 Or you're just here in the squat. 701 00:35:11,343 --> 00:35:13,378 So again, opportunity to practice Crow. 702 00:35:13,378 --> 00:35:15,580 If you are going to practice Crow, 703 00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:18,116 bring the toes together, look forward. 704 00:35:18,116 --> 00:35:20,418 Keep that focus forward, that length. 705 00:35:20,418 --> 00:35:22,087 We've already tapped into the core here 706 00:35:22,087 --> 00:35:24,789 so really broadness through the upper back body. 707 00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,925 Then you bring the knees right up to the armpit chest. 708 00:35:26,925 --> 00:35:29,160 Keep the gaze forward, neck nice and long 709 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,797 as you look forward, and then maybe one toe lifts up. 710 00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:34,933 And then maybe the other, but gaze is forward. 711 00:35:34,933 --> 00:35:37,769 I'm lifting my heart space through my upper back body 712 00:35:37,769 --> 00:35:40,195 and pressing away from my yoga mat. 713 00:35:40,195 --> 00:35:42,007 And I'm breathing. 714 00:35:47,112 --> 00:35:48,913 And if you're still working on the posture, 715 00:35:48,913 --> 00:35:51,416 you're welcome to stay there, take your time. 716 00:35:51,416 --> 00:35:54,586 The rest of us are going to slowly swim the fingertips 717 00:35:54,586 --> 00:35:58,590 around, use our hands to come back to Dandasana. 718 00:36:02,827 -->

00:36:21,780 Then the left leg is gonna be nice and strong here and firm. 726 00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,114 We're gonna peel the right knee up 727 00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:25,950 just like we did at the beginning of practice. 728 00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:27,218 Alright, but this time we're gonna grab the leg 729 00:36:27,218 --> 00:36:29,621 just like we've done before here in our Yoga Revolution, 730 00:36:29,621 --> 00:36:31,556 and we're gonna pull the right knee back 731 00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:34,459 and then use your left hand to kind of brace yourself here. 732 00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:36,394 So working nice hip opener here. 733 00:36:36,394 --> 00:36:40,365 Stretching through the hamstrings, it takes patience. 734 00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:42,067 Pulling back. 735 00:36:42,067 --> 00:36:44,169 Pulling back that bow nad arrow. 736 00:36:44,169 --> 00:36:45,370 Lifting up through the heart. 737 00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:48,206 Alright, so this is your bus stop one. 738 00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:49,474 Lifting up through the chest. 739 00:36:49,474 --> 00:36:50,308 Working here. 740 00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:52,010 You can even find a little movement here 741 00:36:52,010 --> 00:36:55,113 if you're working in bus stop one. 742 00:36:55,113 --> 00:36:58,049 Another option would be to keep lifting up through 743 00:36:58,049 --> 00:37:01,586 the chest, take your right foot to your left hand. 744 00:37:01,586 --> 00:37:03,688 Right hand comes in and underneath, 745 00:37:03,688 --> 00:37:06,291 and we're going to work and keep a sense of humor here, 746 00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:09,260 be patient, we're gonna work to hike the right leg 747 00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:12,230 all the way up over the right shoulder. 748 00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:14,499 I know, I know, I know. 749 00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:16,768 Then right hand's gonna come right underneath here 750 00:37:16,768 --> 00:37:21,239 and I'm gonna really squeeze actually my right leg down 751 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,908 on that shoulder just to find a little connect, 752 00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:26,277 and then maybe you lift the shin. 753 00:37:26,277 --> 00:37:29,280 So a little Elephant Pose variation. 754 00:37:30,682 --> 00:37:32,217 Bus stop number two. 755 00:37:32,217 --> 00:37:34,452 Pressing into the palms, keeping the heart lifted. 756 00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:37,088 So even though I've contorted my sweet body 757 00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:41,893 into a different shape here, still think Dandasana. 758 00:37:41,893 --> 00:37:43,528 Firming down through the legs. 759 00:37:43,528 --> 00:37:44,956 Lifting up through the heart. 760 00:37:44,956 --> 00:37:47,732 Really strong, strong pose here. 761 00:37:47,732 --> 00:37:50,668 Alright, so from this bus stop, you might stay here, 762 00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:54,272 bus stop two, or I might shift back a bit. 763 00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:57,976 Lift my left leg and cross my left ankle over the right. 764 00:37:57,976 --> 00:38:01,379 Use your palms to really create stability 765 00:38:02,647 --> 00:38:05,250 and lift your heart even more. 766 00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:07,285 Breathing here. 767 00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:09,320 Breathing here. 768 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,889 Alright, you can come out of this posture 769 00:38:10,889 --> 00:38:12,657 whenever you like. 770 00:38:12,657 --> 00:38:14,759 And then so this was a request and I don't do it 771 00:38:14,759 --> 00:38:18,496 for a lot of reasons, but patience practice, 772 00:38:18,496 --> 00:38:19,831 I feel like there's a lesson here, 773 00:38:19,831 --> 00:38:21,299 so everyone lift your heart. 774 00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:24,769 Last bus stop is to loop the shoulders, wrap. 775 00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,337 Draw the navel in and up. 776 00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:28,907 Shift your gaze forward, shift onto the palms, 777 00:38:28,907 --> 00:38:31,576 and then kick the legs out long. 778 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:34,312 So I'm tapping into my core. 779 00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:36,981 I'm not dumping weight into my shoulders. 780 00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,918 I'm drawing my navel in and up, in and up. 781 00:38:39,918 --> 00:38:42,253 And then exhale to release, come back. 782 00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:47,025 So actually in time too this elbow will come out. 783 00:38:47,025 --> 00:38:50,495 So, that was an experience, and you just have to also 784 00:38:50,495 --> 00:38:52,197 keep in mind how many people are practicing 785 00:38:52,197 --> 00:38:53,832 along with this journey. 786 00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:56,167 So we want to be really mindful of every bus stop. 787 00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:58,336 Be really kind to our bodies, but then remember, 788 00:38:58,336 --> 00:39:01,105 this is all just a big ole metaphor. 789 00:39:01,105 --> 00:39:02,574 How do you deal with things like this? 790 00:39:02,574 --> 00:39:03,608 What is your approach? 791 00:39:03,608 --> 00:39:04,442 Can you laugh it off? 792 00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:05,810 Can you smile? 793 00:39:05,810 --> 00:39:09,981 Can you enjoy that that just changed the way you breathe? 794 00:39:11,549 --> 00:39:14,953 And then let it go and let's do the other side. 795 00:39:14,953 --> 00:39:16,230 Dandasana. 796 00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:19,691 So, through that process though, 797 00:39:19,691 --> 00:39:22,126 it's really not about the shape. 798 00:39:22,126 --> 00:39:24,095 Through that process, we open up the hip. 799 00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:25,396 We build strength in the arms. 800 00:39:25,396 --> 00:39:27,599 We tap into the core, which is great for our back bodies, 801 00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:29,334 so that we can carry our groceries and our neighbor's 802 00:39:29,334 --> 00:39:32,870 groceries well into our 90s, yeah, right? 803 00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:35,173 Alright, super loud airplane. 804 00:39:35,173 --> 00:39:36,107 Alright, let's go. 805 00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:38,943 Lift the left knee all the way up. 806 00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:43,648 Find your right hand on the earth. 807 00:39:43,648 --> 00:39:45,984 Then when you're ready, maybe grabbing that, 808 00:39:45,984 --> 00:39:48,486 you can just stay here I guess, breathing. 809 00:39:48,486 --> 00:39:51,656 And maybe you grab that, pull it back. 810 00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:55,159 Grab your foot, pull it back. 811 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,331 And so, this is the action, but really where I need to work 812 00:40:00,331 --> 00:40:02,934 is finding Dandasana here. 813 00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:03,901 Super tough. 814 00:40:07,672 --> 00:40:10,441 Reconnect with your breath and this is the first bus stop. 815 00:40:10,441 --> 00:40:12,644 Can also return to the leg baby. 816 00:40:12,644 --> 00:40:14,345 I won't start singing today, 817 00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:17,448 but you can return to the leg baby. 818 00:40:17,448 --> 00:40:18,583 It's really hard not to sing. 819 00:40:18,583 --> 00:40:19,417 Okay. 820 00:40:25,223 --> 00:40:26,758 Second bus stop. 821 00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,993 We'll bring this leg, hike it all the way up 822 00:40:28,993 --> 00:40:30,628 and so there is a bit of a lift up 823 00:40:30,628 --> 00:40:33,331 through that sit bone at first to just really 824 00:40:33,331 --> 00:40:35,366 get it up and over. 825 00:40:35,366 --> 00:40:36,868 And just do your best. 826 00:40:36,868 --> 00:40:39,470 And we come into Elephant Pose. 827 00:40:40,972 --> 00:40:43,441 And think Dandasana. 828 00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:45,610 And in the traditional posture, you lift your leg 829 00:40:45,610 --> 00:40:47,111 and everything up. 830 00:40:48,713 --> 00:40:50,481 Ha-ha-ha-ha. 831 00:40:50,481 --> 00:40:51,316 Okay. 832 00:40:53,611 --> 00:40:57,922 Breathing, notice we're not rushing any of this on purpose. 833 00:41:00,558 -->
