1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:03,770
- Hey everyone and welcome to
your 31 Day Yoga Revolution.

2
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:07,194
It's day 25, my, my, my,

3
00:00:07,194 --> 00:00:10,504
and today we 
have a root practice.

4
00:00:10,504 --> 00:00:12,045
Let's get started.

5
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:15,549
(lively orchestral music)

6
00:00:20,921 --> 00:00:25,092
Alrighty my friends, 
let's begin in Sukhasana today.

7
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:28,195
Come into your seat.

8
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:30,898
Sit up nice and tall.

9
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:35,636
If you're here with 
me now, I bow to you.

10
00:00:36,433 --> 00:00:38,839
We have a week 
left in our journey.

11
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:40,407
Of course we have a 
big journey at hand,

12
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,356
but a week left in our

13
00:00:42,356 --> 00:00:45,746
Yoga Revolution 
exploration together

14
00:00:45,746 --> 00:00:47,881
and I'm so honored 
that you're still here.

15
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,083
This last week 
is really special.

16
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:52,886
So today's 
practice is more compact.

17
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:55,122
So we wanna honor the time
that we're taking on the mat

18
00:00:55,122 --> 00:00:58,525
by jumping right into 
a nice, conscious breath.

19
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:00,727
So sit up nice and tall.

20
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:02,562
Take a deep breath in.

21
00:01:04,364 --> 00:01:08,001
And feel, as you exhale, 
your shoulders relax,

22
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,637
and close your eyes and just
feel the weight of your hips

23
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:15,365
really grounding down, 
sinking down into the earth.

24
00:01:17,447 --> 00:01:20,614
So there's really no, 
as we learned yesterday,

25
00:01:20,614 --> 00:01:24,985
task to master here, 
save for this opportunity

26
00:01:24,985 --> 00:01:28,055
to really just be 
present and to embrace

27
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:29,323
the process or the practice.

28
00:01:29,323 --> 00:01:31,458
So if I say something that
doesn't really resonate with you

29
00:01:31,458 --> 00:01:32,926
like, "Let your hips grow heavy"

30
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,294
or "melt your 
hips into the earth,"

31
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:37,764
or "wrap this, wrap that, 
send breath to your bone,"

32
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:40,634
whatever, remember 
that it's a practice

33
00:01:40,634 --> 00:01:43,870
so how you tackle that, 
well how you take that cue,

34
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:46,373
what you do with it 
is entirely up to you.

35
00:01:46,373 --> 00:01:48,742
So that would be a 
great thing to consider

36
00:01:48,742 --> 00:01:51,178
throughout 
today's root practice.

37
00:01:51,178 --> 00:01:54,281
Just really 
grounding in the process.

38
00:01:57,184 --> 00:01:59,486
So continue to deepen 
your breath here and again,

39
00:01:59,486 --> 00:02:02,055
use the exhale to 
relax your shoulders

40
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:05,692
and allow your hips, 
your legs to grow heavy.

41
00:02:05,692 --> 00:02:10,748
You might see your sits bones
pressing down into the earth

42
00:02:10,748 --> 00:02:14,735
like two pushpins as 
you start to lift up through

43
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:17,504
the center 
plumb line, the spine.

44
00:02:24,378 --> 00:02:26,279
Wonderful, then when 
you're ready, draw the hands

45
00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:28,615
to the heart, try to 
maintain this awareness

46
00:02:28,615 --> 00:02:30,884
of just a 
heaviness in the lower body

47
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:33,620
and a lightness or a 
lift in the upper body.

48
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:37,224
As you bow chin to chest, 
head to heart or head to hands.

49
00:02:37,224 --> 00:02:39,259
Feel that stretch in 
the back of the neck.

50
00:02:39,259 --> 00:02:42,362
Activate through 
the upper back body.

51
00:02:43,663 --> 00:02:47,234
And here we kind of 
bow to the big picture.

52
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:51,271
And start to draw some energy
up from your pelvic floor

53
00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:55,308
right where that root 
chakra is if that's your thing

54
00:02:55,308 --> 00:02:57,477
and for everyone 
it's just this awareness

55
00:02:57,477 --> 00:02:59,780
at the base of the spine, 
and then drawing energy

56
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:03,083
all the way up as 
you slowly roll up,

57
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:05,419
tuck the chin into the chest.

58
00:03:05,419 --> 00:03:07,621
And sit up nice and tall.

59
00:03:07,621 --> 00:03:09,222
Interlace the fingertips.

60
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:12,325
Keep this lift best you can
all the way up, up, up, up, up

61
00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:14,127
from the root as you 
interlace the fingertips

62
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:15,862
and press the palms forward.

63
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:17,864
Plug the shoulders in, 
then reach the pinkies

64
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:19,866
up, and then back.

65
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,334
Big stretch here.

66
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:24,304
So, there's a tendency to 
just kind of arch the back

67
00:03:24,304 --> 00:03:25,439
and let it all spill out.

68
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:28,408
See if you can hug the lower
ribs in and feel this lift

69
00:03:28,408 --> 00:03:30,310
from the pelvic 
floor, Mula Bandha,

70
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:35,262
or this just awareness, this
engaging quality in the muscles

71
00:03:36,032 --> 00:03:39,221
of the pelvic 
floor or this awareness

72
00:03:40,196 --> 00:03:42,289
in the base of the spine, 
the root chakra area,

73
00:03:42,289 --> 00:03:45,786
which is about security.

74
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:52,899
Inhale, slowly without 
crunching the back of the neck

75
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,968
look up or 
another way to think of it

76
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:57,337
is to carve a line 
with the nose and look

77
00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,940
towards your thumbs, 
and then use an exhale

78
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:02,876
♫ To release

79
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,811
And fingertips are 
gonna come slightly behind

80
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:05,679
the hip points here.

81
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:09,316
Actually let's walk 'em behind
the hip points for sure.

82
00:04:09,316 --> 00:04:12,586
So we can find that lift 
up through the armpit chest.

83
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,021
Then once again, lift 
up from the pelvic floor.

84
00:04:15,021 --> 00:04:16,623
Left ear over 
left shoulder here.

85
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:19,625
Press away from your yoga 
mat with your fingerprints

86
00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:22,629
and with the outer 
edges of your feet.

87
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:25,198
Or press away from the earth.

88
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:27,434
So big stretch in the 
right side of the neck.

89
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:29,603
Then lift it back 
up through center.

90
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:32,005
Connect head over heart, 
heart over pelvis.

91
00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:34,174
And then right ear 
over the right shoulder.

92
00:04:34,174 --> 00:04:35,942
Again, press 
away from the earth.

93
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:39,780
So we're aware of 
what's goin' on in the feet.

94
00:04:42,315 --> 00:04:44,951
And then back to 
center then we'll release

95
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:47,621
and come forward onto all fours.

96
00:04:50,157 --> 00:04:51,424
Take your time getting there.

97
00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:54,995
When you arrive, 
take a couple Cat-Cows.

98
00:04:54,995 --> 00:04:56,963
Moving with your breath.

99
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:07,440
And then after a 
couple rounds of Cat-Cow,

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,110
make your way to 
Downward Facing Dog.

101
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:11,878
Give the thinking mind a break.

102
00:05:11,878 --> 00:05:12,946
Stay present.

103
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:15,215
Hips up high.

104
00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:19,986
We start to take our 
dog for a little walk.

105
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:23,657
Really rooting into 
all of the fingerprints.

106
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:25,058
Pressing into the knuckles.

107
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:27,194
Kind of suctioning up 
through the center of the palm

108
00:05:27,194 --> 00:05:31,198
and then pressing into 
the base nice and strong.

109
00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,701
And here we go, 
when you're ready,

110
00:05:34,701 --> 00:05:36,469
inhale, come up 
onto the tippy tip toes,

111
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:38,605
really lift 
from the hip creases.

112
00:05:38,605 --> 00:05:39,573
Lift your heels up.

113
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:41,741
Press away from your 
yoga mat with your palms.

114
00:05:41,741 --> 00:05:43,977
Try to melt your heart towards
the tops of your thighs

115
00:05:43,977 --> 00:05:45,979
just for this action here.

116
00:05:45,979 --> 00:05:48,048
Lift the hip creases even more.

117
00:05:48,048 --> 00:05:49,282
Inhale.

118
00:05:49,282 --> 00:05:52,285
Exhale, slowly 
lower the heels down.

119
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:55,188
Two more times, inhale.

120
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,959
Lift it up, 
lift as high as you can go.

121
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,061
Exhale, lower the heels.

122
00:06:01,061 --> 00:06:02,195
One more, you got this.

123
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:03,730
Press into the palms.

124
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:07,300
Shoulders to upper arm bones
wrap around, we got this.

125
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:10,036
One more breath, 
melt your heart back.

126
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,872
This is great if you're 
working on handstanding.

127
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:16,109
And then exhale, 
heels to the mat, awesome work.

128
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:18,278
Walk the big toes together.

129
00:06:18,278 --> 00:06:21,248
Then inhale, 
lift the right leg up high.

130
00:06:21,248 --> 00:06:24,551
Exhale, step it all 
the way up into your lunge.

131
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:27,387
Pivot on the 
back foot, Warrior I.

132
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:33,460
Inhale, reach for the sky.

133
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:37,831
Strong legs here, 
feel the power of that back foot.

134
00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:39,871
Big breath in.

135
00:06:39,871 --> 00:06:44,511
Big breath out, come 
all the way back down.

136
00:06:44,511 --> 00:06:46,973
Downward Facing Dog, 
step the right toes back.

137
00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:48,642
Hips up high.

138
00:06:48,642 --> 00:06:50,410
Lift the heels.

139
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:52,312
Press into your tippy tip toes.

140
00:06:52,312 --> 00:06:54,781
Inhale, lift, lift, lift, lift.

141
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:56,049
Exhale, ground.

142
00:06:57,884 --> 00:07:00,153
Inhale, lift from 
the base of the spine.

143
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:02,522
Find length 
through the crown, lift.

144
00:07:02,522 --> 00:07:04,824
And exhale, ground.

145
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:05,859
One more time.

146
00:07:05,859 --> 00:07:08,094
Big inhale, lift, lengthen.

147
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,731
And exhale, ground, beautiful.

148
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:13,066
Walk the big toes together.

149
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:15,602
Inhale, lift the 
left leg up high.

150
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:18,505
Exhale, step it 
all the way through.

151
00:07:18,505 --> 00:07:21,107
Pivot on the 
back foot, Warrior I.

152
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:22,776
Feel the power of that back foot

153
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:26,346
as you rise up strong, 
that scissor effect as you lift,

154
00:07:26,346 --> 00:07:28,548
lift, lift up through 
the center channel.

155
00:07:28,548 --> 00:07:30,950
Inhale, send the 
fingertips up high.

156
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:33,019
Tap into that inner smile here.

157
00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:34,754
Big breath.

158
00:07:34,754 --> 00:07:36,423
And exhale, release.

159
00:07:38,158 --> 00:07:41,061
Plant the palms, 
Downward Facing Dog.

160
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:42,796
One more time here, we got this.

161
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:45,298
So we're not just 
moving the ankles, the feet,

162
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:48,401
the heels, create a 
full body experience,

163
00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:51,271
a big one-loving 
working big machine.

164
00:07:51,271 --> 00:07:52,605
(laughs)

165
00:07:52,605 --> 00:07:54,207
I'm a machine!

166
00:07:54,207 --> 00:07:56,176
So what I mean by that 
is it's all working as one.

167
00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:59,813
As I suction the palms, 
I lift the heels, I draw up

168
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:02,849
from the pelvic floor, nice
and stable in the shoulders,

169
00:08:02,849 --> 00:08:05,251
all this beautiful work I've
been doing in the shoulders.

170
00:08:05,251 --> 00:08:08,154
Lift, melt the heart back.

171
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,256
Inhale and exhale, lower.

172
00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:12,392
Two more times, inhale, lift.

173
00:08:12,392 --> 00:08:15,662
Maybe walk the 
toes a little closer.

174
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,163
And exhale, lower.

175
00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:21,267
And one more time, inhale, lift.

176
00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:23,470
And exhale, lower.

177
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:24,771
Child's Pose.

178
00:08:24,771 --> 00:08:26,573
Lower the knees.

179
00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:27,874
Take a rest.

180
00:08:27,874 --> 00:08:30,043
Forehead comes to the mat.

181
00:08:31,411 --> 00:08:34,981
Listening to the 
sound of your breath here.

182
00:08:42,322 --> 00:08:44,891
Great, reach the 
fingertips all the way up.

183
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:47,327
Come back to all fours.

184
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:48,995
Downward Facing Dog.

185
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:57,804
When you're ready, 
big inhale to look forward.

186
00:08:57,804 --> 00:08:59,572
Exhale to make 
your way to the top.

187
00:08:59,572 --> 00:09:01,674
Now you can 
practice bending the knees

188
00:09:01,674 --> 00:09:03,777
and giving it a hop, lifting.

189
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:06,046
A friend of mine gave 
me the great cue of lifting

190
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:07,881
your butt cheeks when 
you do that, it really helps.

191
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,382
As you inhale, look forward.

192
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:11,351
Exhale, claw through 
the fingertips and lift

193
00:09:11,351 --> 00:09:15,522
the butt cheeks to hop, but
you can just walk or step too.

194
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:19,759
I'll meet ya in Forward Fold.

195
00:09:25,131 --> 00:09:27,267
When you're ready, 
bend the knees,

196
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:31,438
tuck the chin into the 
chest and slowly roll it up.

197
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:41,314
And as you roll up, 
really see if you can draw

198
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:44,084
energy up from the 
arches of the feet today,

199
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:47,720
pressing into all 
four corners of your foot.

200
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:55,028
And you can really feel 
this idea that we mention

201
00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:57,497
a lot in yoga, 
this idea of rooting to rise,

202
00:09:57,497 --> 00:09:59,466
so this kind of rebound.

203
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:03,203
And if you can't feel it, 
just again, practice, play.

204
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:07,207
This idea of rebounding, 
this yielding effect

205
00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:10,710
as you press your feet 
into the earth and lift up

206
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:12,278
through your heart.

207
00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:19,619
And then continue to listen
to the sound of your breath.

208
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:23,056
And we'll draw the 
hands together at the heart.

209
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:26,259
Big inhale to 
lift the right knee up.

210
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:28,828
And then exhale, place it down.

211
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,487
Big inhale to 
lift the left knee up.

212
00:10:30,487 --> 00:10:33,066
Lift your 
sternum to your thumbs.

213
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:35,668
And exhale, place it down.

214
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:37,437
Now see if you can do 
it a couple more times

215
00:10:37,437 --> 00:10:39,873
without shifting in the hips.

216
00:10:41,037 --> 00:10:42,642
Maybe we shift in the 
hips just a little bit,

217
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,711
little dance break.

218
00:10:44,711 --> 00:10:45,612
Alright, we've earned it.

219
00:10:45,612 --> 00:10:47,380
And then here we go.

220
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:50,717
Connect, inhale, 
lift the right knee up.

221
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:54,153
And exhale, place it down.

222
00:10:54,153 --> 00:10:56,656
Spread awareness through 
all four corners of the foot.

223
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:59,125
Then again, we're 
trying to shift without

224
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:02,328
really dumping 
weight into the right heel

225
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:04,931
but pressing down to come up.

226
00:11:04,931 --> 00:11:07,500
And then a couple 
more times, you can play.

227
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:12,205
And so one great way to 
really embrace this practice

228
00:11:12,205 --> 00:11:16,951
is to imagine really moving
from your center,

229
00:11:16,951 --> 00:11:18,611
connecting.

230
00:11:18,611 --> 00:11:22,549
Another great 
image is the headlights.

231
00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:25,901
Not those headlights, a-hole.

232
00:11:25,901 --> 00:11:27,487
(laughs) Just kidding.

233
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:31,224
But like little 
flashlights on your hips.

234
00:11:31,224 --> 00:11:34,594
And you don't want those
headlights or those flashlights

235
00:11:34,594 --> 00:11:37,664
to shift too much 
when you move, yes?

236
00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:43,636
Alright, just a little playtime
here, a little practice.

237
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:47,006
Okay, then we'll take 
whatever you experienced here

238
00:11:47,006 --> 00:11:50,977
into our Tree Pose, so the
next time that your left foot

239
00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:53,553
is down, slowly, so slow 
it down so you can really

240
00:11:53,553 --> 00:11:56,583
be present through the journey
of lifting the right knee

241
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:57,717
all the way up.

242
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:01,387
And then you'll take your
right foot, press it against

243
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:05,525
the inner thigh, and then 
press your inner thigh back

244
00:12:05,525 --> 00:12:06,993
towards your right foot.

245
00:12:06,993 --> 00:12:11,130
Other options, calf still
finding that squeeze, that lift,

246
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:15,301
or toes on the ground still
finding that lift, that squeeze.

247
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:18,538
Alright, so wherever you 
are, we're kind of working

248
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:20,807
with that idea of 
pressing down into the earth

249
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:24,177
and lifting up, finding that
lightness, that strength.

250
00:12:24,177 --> 00:12:27,547
This is whole Yoga 
Revolution is just gonna totally

251
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:29,115
change your yoga game.

252
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:32,819
For me, I can just see already
right now this Tree Pose,

253
00:12:32,819 --> 00:12:37,056
this idea of moving 
from a place of connect

254
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:40,283
is so much more fun 


255
00:12:40,283 --> 00:12:42,683
and joyful and grounding

256
00:12:42,683 --> 00:12:45,264
than holding on for dear life.

257
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:48,635
So top of the 
right thigh wraps around.

258
00:12:48,635 --> 00:12:50,436
You might even try 
lifting your left toes

259
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:53,640
if you're at a place in your
practice or your energy level

260
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,112
feels strong today.

261
00:12:57,112 --> 00:13:02,015
You might press into the
outer edge of your right foot

262
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:04,550
and just see if you can 
really find that stability,

263
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:06,519
so if you fall, fabulous.

264
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:08,788
That means things weren't
connecting in the way you needed

265
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:11,691
or you needed to have 
that process to come back to it

266
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:12,859
and try again.

267
00:13:13,926 --> 00:13:16,596
Right, everything 
is as it should be.

268
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:19,599
Take the hands 
where they feel good.

269
00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:28,708
Listen to the 
sound of your breath.

270
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:31,144
And take one more big inhale.

271
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:35,148
And then use your exhale to
slowly release with control.

272
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:39,318
Place the right foot 
down and then immediately

273
00:13:39,318 --> 00:13:42,722
lift the left knee as you
press into your standing leg.

274
00:13:42,722 --> 00:13:45,258
Yes, and then let's 
check it out on the other side.

275
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:48,127
Again, if this foot is 
coming into the inseam,

276
00:13:48,127 --> 00:13:53,183
squeeze and press, 
hug the lower ribs in.

277
00:13:53,183 --> 00:13:54,459
Play here.

278
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,538
Maybe lifting the toes.

279
00:13:58,538 --> 00:14:01,908
Finding that stability, 
that grounding.

280
00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:04,610
So tailbone lengthens down.

281
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:08,815
And so here, imagine those
lights are on your hip creases

282
00:14:08,815 --> 00:14:11,718
here and they're not actually
even trying to shine forward,

283
00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:15,254
but think of them as trying
to shine up towards the sky.

284
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:16,823
Great action point.

285
00:14:18,891 --> 00:14:20,122
Mhmmm.

286
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:24,030
Now playing 
around with the arms.

287
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:27,934
Pressing into the 
outer edge of your left foot.

288
00:14:27,934 --> 00:14:32,105
Letting the top of the left
thighbone really ground down

289
00:14:34,474 --> 00:14:37,477
as you lift up 
through your heart.

290
00:14:37,477 --> 00:14:40,079
Tap into that inner smile here.

291
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:45,084
Take one more big breath in.

292
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:49,989
And exhale with control, 
release it down.

293
00:14:49,989 --> 00:14:52,391
Awesome work, deep breath in.

294
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:55,423
Big exhale out.

295
00:14:57,463 --> 00:14:59,432
Imagine your 
breath is washing you.

296
00:14:59,432 --> 00:15:00,785
Inhale in.

297
00:15:02,802 --> 00:15:04,357
Exhale.

298
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:07,507
Wonderful.

299
00:15:08,341 --> 00:15:11,310
Take the feet as 
wide as your yoga mat.

300
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:13,312
Toes are gonna 
spill off the edge

301
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:14,981
and we're gonna 
come down into that squat

302
00:15:14,981 --> 00:15:17,183
really mindfully, really slowly.

303
00:15:17,183 --> 00:15:18,351
So take a deep breath in.

304
00:15:18,351 --> 00:15:22,688
Again, let your breath 
wash or as we say in Texas,

305
00:15:22,688 --> 00:15:25,772
warsh, in and out of you.

306
00:15:25,772 --> 00:15:26,926
Big inhale.

307
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:30,263
Interlace the fingertips, 
press the palms forward,

308
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:33,199
up, and back, 
and slowly sink down.

309
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:37,270
Pause here, 
don't sink all the way,

310
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:39,438
pause, stop just before.

311
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:41,274
Take a deep breath in.

312
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:44,710
And then exhale, hands to heart.

313
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:45,812
Stay lifted.

314
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:48,147
So check it out, if you're 
sinking all the way down

315
00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:50,349
here, my friends, 
challenge yourself.

316
00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:52,819
Lift up, press, really 
root, ground through the tops

317
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:57,190
of the feet and lift up 
from the base of the spine.

318
00:15:57,190 --> 00:16:00,126
One more breath, 
inhale, you got this.

319
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:03,529
Such power, exhale, 
release, gorgeous.

320
00:16:03,529 --> 00:16:07,667
We're gonna come to a nice
cross-legged seat here.

321
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:09,561
Back to Sukhasana.

322
00:16:12,772 --> 00:16:15,775
♫ Back to Sukhasana

323
00:16:16,843 --> 00:16:19,078
♫ Back to reality

324
00:16:19,078 --> 00:16:20,079
But not yet.

325
00:16:21,047 --> 00:16:23,716
Come to a nice 
comfy seat and inhale,

326
00:16:23,716 --> 00:16:25,351
blanket yourself in love.

327
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:27,887
As you exhale, 
relax the shoulders.

328
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:31,858
Just a couple more 
breaths here, your yoga time.

329
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:44,437
Awesome work.

330
00:16:44,437 --> 00:16:46,272
Let's bring the left 
hand to the right knee,

331
00:16:46,272 --> 00:16:49,242
right fingertips behind, 
just gentle twist to the right.

332
00:16:49,242 --> 00:16:52,345
Feel that lifting up 
from the pelvic floor,

333
00:16:52,345 --> 00:16:55,147
grounding through 
the tops of the thighs.

334
00:16:55,147 --> 00:16:58,150
Little goes a long way, 
inhale, exhale.

335
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:59,452
Twist to the left.

336
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:01,220
Inhale, lift.

337
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:02,388
Exhale, twist.

338
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,030
And release.

339
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:12,665
Bring the hands to the heart.

340
00:17:12,665 --> 00:17:14,233
Alright, what do 
you want to root into

341
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:16,402
for the rest of 
your day or your evening?

342
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:17,803
Pick one word.

343
00:17:17,803 --> 00:17:19,070
Find it now.

344
00:17:19,070 --> 00:17:21,440
Place it right in 
between your palms here.

345
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,943
What do you want to root into?

346
00:17:25,678 --> 00:17:27,422
Drama?

347
00:17:27,422 --> 00:17:28,954
No.

348
00:17:31,017 --> 00:17:33,286
Alright, and when you feel
like you have your one word,

349
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:35,755
place it right in 
your hands, rockstars.

350
00:17:35,755 --> 00:17:37,823
Take a look at 
your beautiful body.

351
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:41,260
Experience your 
beautiful breath, inhale.

352
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:43,429
And we bow to one another.

353
00:17:43,429 --> 00:17:46,098
The awesome in me 
bows to the awesome in you.

354
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:50,269
Whatever you chose to root
into, I am rooting for you.

355
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:52,538
Take good care, 
I'll see you tomorrow.

356
00:17:52,538 --> 00:17:54,740
Hope you show up, 
it's gonna be awesome.

357
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:55,908
Namaste.

358
00:17:55,908 --> 00:18:00,079
