00:00:00,267 --> 00:00:01,835
- Happy New Year, everyone.

2
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,837
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

3
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:07,441
I'm Adriene and it's 2013.

4
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:08,675
Can you believe it?

5
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:10,544
2012 was a great year.

6
00:00:10,544 --> 00:00:12,246
It was a little bit of a doozy,

7
00:00:12,246 --> 00:00:14,414
but I learned a lot,
fell in love,

8
00:00:14,414 --> 00:00:16,149
got to make an awesome movie

9
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:19,820
and we started this project,
Yoga With Adriene.

10
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:20,678
I'm thrilled.

11
00:00:20,678 --> 00:00:23,210
I'm so humbled and 
grateful to be back with you.

12
00:00:23,210 --> 00:00:26,226
And we have some

13
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:28,595
goodies for you, 2013.

14
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:30,961
Last year, last semester

15
00:00:30,961 --> 00:00:33,066
we focused on the 
foundations of yoga,

16
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:35,202
building things 
from the ground up.

17
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,537
Trying to welcome 
people who are new to yoga

18
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:40,707
and welcome people 
who maybe haven't been

19
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,100
on the mat in a while 
back to their practice.

20
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,480
OK, so what you 
can expect in 2013.

21
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,215
Longer sequences.

22
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:50,350
So even if you 
don't have a lot of time,

23
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:53,320
we're going to extend the 
practices just a little bit

24
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,057
with a more specific 
focus on weight loss,

25
00:00:57,057 --> 00:01:00,093
speeding up our metabolisms,
stress relief.

26
00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:02,496
I also want to 
offer practices that

27
00:01:02,496 --> 00:01:05,565
just invite you to 
go on a little journey.

28
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:07,568
Sometimes it's nice 
to have a little guide

29
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:10,203
so you can put the video on,
hop on your mat,

30
00:01:10,203 --> 00:01:12,105
and we can go 
through a little vinyasa,

31
00:01:12,105 --> 00:01:14,374
or a little flow together.

32
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:16,910
I want to focus on, in 
the early part of the year,

33
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:21,048
poses that inspire 
and create space.

34
00:01:21,048 --> 00:01:23,183
More potential.

35
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:25,852
So in addition to the 
fitness-related things

36
00:01:25,852 --> 00:01:28,588
that we all are kind of 
thinking about right now

37
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,424
at the top of the year,

38
00:01:30,424 --> 00:01:34,328
I also want to offer poses
that inspire and create space,

39
00:01:34,328 --> 00:01:36,640
build potential, confidence,

40
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,599
and the list goes on.

41
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:41,868
At this time of year, 
we're setting our intentions

42
00:01:41,868 --> 00:01:45,906
for a life, an existence,
that serves us.

43
00:01:45,906 --> 00:01:48,252
And the awesome thing about yoga

44
00:01:48,252 --> 00:01:51,478
is that every time 
we come on the mat

45
00:01:51,478 --> 00:01:54,147
we have an opportunity 
to set a positive intention,

46
00:01:54,147 --> 00:01:55,882
to set an 
intention for ourselves.

47
00:01:55,882 --> 00:01:57,584
And yoga's awesome,
because sometimes

48
00:01:57,584 --> 00:02:00,153
we don't fee like 
setting intentions. (chuckles)

49
00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:01,555
We're just like, meh,
it's much easier

50
00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:03,623
to just let it go, give up.

51
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:05,298
But when we come to the mat,
even if the practice is

52
00:02:05,298 --> 00:02:06,994
five minutes, two minutes,

53
00:02:06,994 --> 00:02:08,502
a one minute yoga practice,

54
00:02:08,502 --> 00:02:11,031
just a couple 
deep breaths in an out,

55
00:02:11,031 --> 00:02:14,835
or a 20-minute yoga 
for weight loss series,

56
00:02:14,835 --> 00:02:18,372
we have an 
opportunity to set an intention.

57
00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:19,673
And the power of word,

58
00:02:19,673 --> 00:02:22,175
the power of 
thought goes a long way.

59
00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:24,811
So I invite you to 
hop on the mat with me,

60
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:26,680
subscribe to the channel.

61
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,349
If you're returning to the
practice or if you're beginner,

62
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:32,366
just know that the beginning 
stages are the hardest.

63
00:02:32,366 --> 00:02:33,290
So here at the top of the year,

64
00:02:33,290 --> 00:02:36,289
we can come together,
band of brothers,

65
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:39,426
and inspire each other,
encourage each other

66
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:41,828
to get on the mat,
set our intentions

67
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,564
and find what feels good.

68
00:02:44,564 --> 00:02:49,569
(upbeat music)
