00:04:11,885 this time find a little containment in the front body. 78 00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:14,821 So, draw the naval in, hug the lowers in. 79 00:04:14,821 --> 00:04:16,289 So, we're not just dumping all our weight back, 80 00:04:16,289 --> 00:04:17,289 but really finding that 81 00:04:17,289 --> 00:04:19,392 integrity through the front body, 82 00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:20,660 through that midline. 83 00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:24,197 Take a deep breath in here, look up, 84 00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:26,666 and exhale, step your feet up to the top. 85 00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:28,502 You can also do a nice slow walk, 86 00:04:28,502 --> 00:04:31,972 you know that I'm a big fan of that, just taking our time, 87 00:04:31,972 --> 00:04:33,974 connecting the dots. 88 00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:38,745 We'll meet in Uttanasana, extended standing forward fold. 89 00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:41,982 So, take a second here to really find your footing, 90 00:04:41,982 --> 00:04:46,019 toes pointing forward, bend the knees generously. 91 00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:50,123 Eventually, allow the weight of your head to release. 92 00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:52,425 (deep breath) 93 00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:55,996 Like

earth. 96 00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:11,945 Okay, are you just doing yoga asana here, 97 00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:13,547 or can you really find what feels good? 98 00:05:13,547 --> 00:05:15,615 Connect to the big picture. 99 00:05:15,615 --> 00:05:17,918 Understand that it's all connected, 100 00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:20,520 so really feel your feet connecting to the earth, 101 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,224 all four corners, and tuck the chin into the chest. 102 00:05:24,224 --> 00:05:26,193 And as slow as you can go my friend, 103 00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:28,128 roll it up all the way. 104 00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:39,673 Take your time slowly stacking through the spine. 105 00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,776 Eventually, we'll stack head over heart, 106 00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:44,110 heart over pelvis here, 107 00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:47,480 and go ahead and right away open the palms, 108 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,351 and we wanna start to really find this lift in the sternum, 109 00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:54,788 yes, but also really in the armpit chest. 110 00:05:57,257 --> 00:05:59,326 So, if you want, before you get a little sweaty here, 111 00:05:59,326 --> 00:06:01,962 you can take your thumbs to the armpit chest, 112 00:06:01,962 --> 00:06:03,597 and just give yourself a little lift, 113 00:06:03,597 --> 00:06:06,266 and you can feel that lengthen the side body, 114 00:06:06,266 --> 00:06:09,903 and as you do that, lengthen the tailbone down. 115 00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:14,074 See if you can firm the shoulder blades down the back body. 116 00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:19,687 So, we're focusing on this area right from the hip 117 00:06:19,687 --> 00:06:23,332 to the upper back, 118 00:06:23,332 --> 00:06:25,652 the armpit chest, 119 00:06:25,652 --> 00:06:28,221 the shoulder, the lats. 120 00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:30,891 Really working to create space and length, 121 00:06:30,891 --> 00:06:33,493 stretch and strengthen this area of the body, 122 00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:37,030 so you can really think about lifting through the front body 123 00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,232 as we always do, grounding through the back body. 124 00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:42,302 Then also the side body, having this awareness, 125 00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:45,839 this length as you come into mountain pose, 126 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,942 and continue to deepen the breath. 127 00:06:48,942 --> 00:06:50,710 So, we're just gonna start really slow here, 128 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,846 getting in the habit of moving with the breath, 129 00:06:52,846 --> 00:06:55,448 while still maintaining that awareness 130 00:06:55,448 --> 00:06:57,851 in all four sides of the torso. 131 00:06:57,851 --> 00:06:59,653 So, you wanna keep the shoulder in the sockets, 132 00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:01,655 so rather than going out or going forward, 133 00:07:01,655 --> 00:07:05,525 we're gonna take it at a nice diagonal angle here, 134 00:07:05,525 --> 00:07:07,794 so the shoulder stays nice and stable. 135 00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:11,631 And we'll inhale, hands come up to a flying V. 136 00:07:12,666 --> 00:07:15,135 As I like to call it, big breath in. 137 00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:19,406 And then exhale, they just come all the way back down. 138 00:07:19,406 --> 00:07:23,109 And inhale again, see if you can keep all four sides 139 00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,245 of the torso lifted and alive, 140 00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,914 so you start to really find a little bit of awareness 141 00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,516 through the upper back body, 142 00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:33,453 whatever that means to you, exhale, lower down. 143 00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:36,389 And let's do one more big breath in, 144 00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:39,726 and as you inhale spread the fingertips. 145 00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:43,997 Fill the torso with air, and exhale, release. 146 00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:46,199 (deep breath) 147 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,902 Fabulous, interlace the fingertips behind, 148 00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:52,539 open the chest, knuckles draw down and away. 149 00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:56,042 So, you don't need to force this or push this. 150 00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:58,145 We're gonna come to this a couple times during this 151 00:07:58,145 --> 00:07:59,745 practice so maybe you keep 152 00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:01,648 the wrists nice and square to start, 153 00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:03,750 you don't bring the palms together. 154 00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:08,288 Just be really mindful, right, you can never be too mindful. 155 00:08:08,288 --> 00:08:10,090 It's a sign of listening and loving yourself, 156 00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:13,860 deep breath in, exhale release, break free. 157 00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:16,996 (deep breath) Inhale, same flying V. 158 00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:19,199 As you reach up, this time you might lift the toes, 159 00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,468 so you can ground through all four corners of the feet. 160 00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:24,704 Inhale, and then exhale, down we go, 161 00:08:24,704 --> 00:08:26,873 all the way, forward fold. 162 00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:30,377 Great, here we go, we inhale, 163 00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:32,544 lift up to a flat back, your version. 164 00:08:32,544 --> 00:08:35,347 I'm gonna take my palms all the way to the tops of my thighs 165 00:08:35,347 --> 00:08:39,318 so I can really find length through the crown. 166 00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:43,523 Lifting, lengthening, nice long line from the crown 167 00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:47,327 to the tail, big breath in.
