1 00:00:00,534 --> 00:00:02,102 - Hey everyone, and welcome to True, 2 00:00:02,102 --> 00:00:03,437 your 30 Day Yoga Journey. 3 00:00:03,437 --> 00:00:05,138 It's day 19. 4 00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:07,074 And today we're gettin' our minds right 5 00:00:07,074 --> 00:00:09,776 by focusing on the power of thought. 6 00:00:09,776 --> 00:00:11,378 Let's get started. 7 00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:14,615 (uplifting music) 8 00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:24,324 Okay everybody, today we're gonna begin standing, 9 00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:29,162 changing it up, with feet hip width apart. 10 00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:35,135 So I'm dressed like a find what feels good ninja today, 11 00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:39,832 because really today is about mind, 12 00:00:39,832 --> 00:00:42,142 the mind, the manas. 13 00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:44,077 So we'll have a bit of a physical practice, 14 00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:46,580 but really bringing our attention 15 00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:49,256 to tending to the mind, 16 00:00:49,256 --> 00:00:52,786 because the way we perceive things 17 00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:55,389 and understanding the power of thought is everything 18 00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:56,690 if you ask me. 19 00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:59,426 It helps dictate every experience 20 00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:01,194 and how we experience everything, right? 21 00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:03,997 So, stand up nice and tall, 22 00:01:03,997 --> 00:01:05,766 if you wanna pause the video and go put on 23 00:01:05,766 --> 00:01:08,435 a ninja outfit, that's fine too, but just imagine. 24 00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:13,273 Thank you so much for being here. 25 00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:16,690 Thank you for sharing your time and your energy. 26 00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:19,146 Let's get started by taking a deep breath in. 27 00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:24,017 And using an exhale to really just land here, 28 00:01:24,017 --> 00:01:28,188 land and ground in whatever you're showing up with today. 29 00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:36,830 Then draw your hands together, Anjali Mudra at the heart. 30 00:01:37,984 --> 00:01:40,167 And then just begin to notice if you're kind of shifting 31 00:01:40,167 --> 00:01:41,935 forward into your toes. 32 00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:44,237 Maybe you tend to stand on the outer edges 33 00:01:44,237 --> 00:01:45,806 of your feet a lot. 34 00:01:45,806 --> 00:01:48,075 Maybe it's the opposite, maybe it's inner. 35 00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:52,379 Maybe you're sinking way back into your heels. 36 00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:54,114 Although, after yesterday, I doubt anybody 37 00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:58,251 is really standing here, 'cause that would mean 38 00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:00,520 that your glutes would need to be turned on. 39 00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:06,526 So after you've taken a moment to essentially, 40 00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:08,862 we're just bringing awareness to the soles of the feet, 41 00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:10,497 let's start to travel up the body, 42 00:02:10,497 --> 00:02:12,933 drawing a little bit of awareness and energy 43 00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:15,068 up through the arches of the feet, 44 00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:20,340 the shins, around the knee joint. 45 00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:23,210 Continue to draw your awareness 46 00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:27,180 up through the thighs, the hips. 47 00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:29,983 Imagine your hip points shining not just forward, 48 00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:34,688 but up towards the sky, and then let that continue. 49 00:02:34,688 --> 00:02:37,124 Sternum lifts to the thumbs, up, up, up. 50 00:02:37,124 --> 00:02:39,393 Shoulders relax, neck is nice and long, 51 00:02:39,393 --> 00:02:42,396 and then lift and lengthen up through the crown of the head. 52 00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:46,733 So you might've heard it before, 53 00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:50,404 and I've certainly shared this many times, 54 00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:53,407 but where attention goes, energy flows. 55 00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:58,378 So if we tend to be the type of person 56 00:02:58,378 --> 00:03:00,981 that kind of focuses on the downfall, 57 00:03:00,981 --> 00:03:04,785 the negative possibilities, then we're giving energy 58 00:03:04,785 --> 00:03:06,319 towards those negative possibilities 59 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,422 to become our reality. 60 00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:11,992 Now if we're able to consider the flip side, 61 00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:15,682 what would happen? 62 00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:21,201 So I'm really here to just continue to ask questions 63 00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:23,804 and help you ask questions, not to really give answers. 64 00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:26,273 So, just a little food for thought. 65 00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:34,081 Now gently begin to deepen your breath. 66 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:38,485 And just come into a stillness. 67 00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:41,755 If you can, an exquisite stillness, 68 00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:43,280 whatever that means to you. 69 00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:57,237 And inhale. 70 00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:59,840 And on your next exhale, bow your head 71 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,008 down towards your hands and your heart. 72 00:04:08,215 --> 00:04:09,883 Mindful in your thoughts. 73 00:04:09,883 --> 00:04:11,344 Notice what comes up. 74 00:04:14,888 --> 00:04:17,557 And then slowly release the head, the hands. 75 00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:20,760 We're gonna interlace the fingertips behind the back. 76 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,263 And you're gonna step the feet a little bit wider, 77 00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:25,932 so you're not gonna go full on the length of your mat, 78 00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:28,902 but just a little bit wider than hip width apart. 79 00:04:28,902 --> 00:04:31,404 Then turn the toes in just a hair 80 00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:35,175 and knuckles are gonna draw down, articulate, 81 00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:37,811 draw down and away as you open up through the chest. 82 00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:39,279 So you can square off the wrists here 83 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,680 or you can work to bring the palms 84 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,716 together, really together. 85 00:04:42,716 --> 00:04:43,817 Yogi's choice. 86 00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:46,386 Stand up nice and tall. 87 00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:48,054 And imagine your hip points, again, 88 00:04:48,054 --> 00:04:49,122 going up towards the sky. 89 00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:53,326 As you breathe deep here, open your chest, open your mind. 90 00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:54,161 Mmm. 91 00:04:56,363 --> 00:04:58,799 Nice, then bend the knees just slightly 92 00:04:58,799 --> 00:05:00,233 and you're gonna send your heart forward 93 00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:01,902 and your butt back. 94 00:05:03,603 --> 00:05:05,338 And you're just gonna go halfway. 95 00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:06,840 Halfway here. 96 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,409 Crown of the head reaches forward, knuckles draw back. 97 00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:11,211 Big stretch, big breath. 98 00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:14,047 And then exhale to dig into the heels and come back. 99 00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:16,216 Awesome, release the arms and just let them 100 00:05:16,216 --> 00:05:18,852 drape gently at your side, soft fingertips. 101 00:05:18,852 --> 00:05:19,886 Inhale in. 102 00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:22,455 And exhale out. 103 00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:24,918 Awesome, interlace behind. 104 00:05:24,918 --> 00:05:26,993 Now opposite thumb on top, so the other way, 105 00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:29,162 and knuckles draw down and away. 106 00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,730 We start to open up through the chest. 107 00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,265 Continue to breathe. 108 00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:36,836 See if you can extend your exhale, make it long and smooth. 109 00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:41,174 So, an excellent tool for the mind, 110 00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:45,545 especially a busy monkey mind is Pranayama, breath. 111 00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:48,446 Breath practice, breath control, 112 00:05:48,446 --> 00:05:51,096 awareness of breath. 113 00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:54,754 Inhale, lift your heart. 114 00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,223 Open the chest, open your mind. 115 00:05:56,223 --> 00:05:57,490 And exhale, here we go again. 116 00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:00,727 Slight bend in the knees, slow shift of the heart center 117 00:06:00,727 --> 00:06:02,996 forward, knuckles reach back. 118 00:06:02,996 --> 00:06:04,764 Think of your halfway lift moment 119 00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:07,434 that we've been doing in our flows. 120 00:06:07,434 --> 00:06:11,605 Take a deep breath in here, big stretch through the top 121 00:06:11,605 --> 00:06:13,740 of the hamstring, and then dig into the heels 122 00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:15,609 to come all the way back. 123 00:06:15,609 --> 00:06:18,011 Beautiful, beautiful, release the hands, 124 00:06:18,011 --> 00:06:19,145 let them drape naturally. 125 00:06:19,145 --> 00:06:20,981 Soft fingertips, lots of awareness throughout 126 00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:22,082 the whole entire body. 127 00:06:22,082 --> 00:06:23,216 Deep breath in. 128 00:06:24,684 --> 00:06:26,193 And empty it out. 129 00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:32,826 Awesome, from here you're gonna bring the heels in, 130 00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:35,295 then the toes, and then keep it going, heel-toe, 131 00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:37,564 heel-toe, all the way together. 132 00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:38,765 Hands come back at the heart. 133 00:06:38,765 --> 00:06:39,633 Inhale in. 134 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,869 Exhale, bow head to heart. 135 00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:45,905 Mind intelligence to body intelligence. 136 00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:47,374 Sweet, then slowly release. 137 00:06:47,374 --> 00:06:48,742 We're gonna interlace the fingertips. 138 00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,377 Shift your weight to your left foot. 139 00:06:50,377 --> 00:06:52,178 And then you're gonna catch your right knee, 140 00:06:52,178 --> 00:06:53,880

way 143 00:06:58,551 --> 00:06:59,386 and then the other. 144 00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:02,555 Now, this of course requires balance and stability, 145 00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:05,095 a little coordination, so find something to focus on 146 00:07:05,095 --> 00:07:06,226 if you need to. 147 00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,963 Play with that lift up from the pelvic floor. 148 00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:15,635 And

fall and zoom it right back in. 178 00:08:16,696 --> 00:08:19,199 Exercising that muscle is actually more important 179 00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:20,266 than being here. 180 00:08:22,635 --> 00:08:23,470

imagine you're pinching a pencil between 209 00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:35,975 your two shoulder blades, and then soften through the knees, 210 00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:38,111 so we're not locked here, and

in 222 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,108 so they're in line with your shoulders. 223 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:13,013 Wherever you are, this is big breath time. 224 00:10:13,013 --> 00:10:15,415 Big, big,

00:10:32,465 I've got my Julia Robert's hair going today. 231 00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:36,636 My friends used to always tease me 232 00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:38,771 'cause I had every Julia Roberts DVD 233 00:10:38,771 --> 00:10:42,142 when I was a young lady. 234 00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:46,813 Back to upright position. 235 00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,015 Head over heart, heart over pelvis. 236 00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:53,052 Alright, find your support system again here. 237 00:10:53,052 --> 00:10:55,088 Draw energy up. 238 00:10:55,088 --> 00:10:56,556 Lengthen tailbone down. 239 00:10:57,924 --> 00:10:59,225 And now, we're gonna release 240 00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:00,793 the fingertips, interlace again. 241 00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:03,496 So now you can really pinch that pencil. 242 00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:10,003 Adriene says the darnedest things. 243 00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,504 That's gonna be my new show. 244 00:11:12,472 --> 00:11:14,340 Knuckles draw down and away. 245 00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:17,944 Again, you can work in time to bring the palms together. 246 00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:20,380 Inhale, lift your chest, lift your heart. 247 00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:26,786 And

Head comes down to the earth. 254 00:11:38,831 --> 00:11:40,400 If this is not suited for your body, 255 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,702 you'll break free of the bind and bring the hands 256 00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:44,571 or fingertips to the earth. 257 00:11:44,571 --> 00:11:48,207 Otherwise, stay here and actively reach your fingertips, 258 00:11:48,207 --> 00:11:50,143 rather than just allowing your shoulders 259 00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:52,745 to collapse in space, reach your knuckles rather, 260 00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:55,114 not your fingertips, up towards the sky. 261 00:11:55,114 --> 00:11:58,051 So you're creating length from the shoulder 262 00:11:58,051 --> 00:11:59,485 to the earlobe. 263 00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:02,255 Breathe deep. 264 00:12:02,255 --> 00:12:04,023 Change

world just tells us so much, 268 00:12:12,932 --> 00:12:14,434 gives us so much information. 269 00:12:16,202 --> 00:12:20,974 It's hard to exercise our right to think for ourselves 270 00:12:20,974 --> 00:12:23,243 and direct our attention. 271 00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:29,315 Alright, from here, strong legs, press into your heel. 272 00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:31,851 Exhale, draw the navel in and up.

00:12:51,004 --> 00:12:53,606 in your side body, your back, your arms. 282 00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,408 Inhale in. 283 00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:57,644 And exhale, gently bow the head to the heart. 284

00:18:32,078 by squeezing the legs in. 405 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,082 And then tuck your chin slightly 406 00:18:36,082 --> 00:18:37,316 and just bow your head. 407 00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:39,485 Send your gaze just past your nose here 408 00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:41,320 and breathe deep into your belly. 409 00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:46,926 Lean back a bit if you're on your heels. 410 00:18:46,926 --> 00:18:49,895 If you're on your toes with the heels lifted, 411 00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:52,431 draw energy up from the pelvic floor even more. 412 00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,256 Breathe deep. 413 00:19:01,374 --> 00:19:03,309 Nice, and then to slowly release, 414 00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:04,543 we'll keep the toes active. 415 00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:05,745 Lift up from the pelvic floor. 416 00:19:05,745 --> 00:19:07,480 Use your fingertips to guide you 417 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,316 and we're gonna come all the way to a seat here. 418 00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:13,886 Feet stay on the mat, knees up towards the sky. 419 00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:15,988 Let your hands rest gently behind you. 420 00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,557 Fingertips facing away from your body. 421 00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:21,093 And then allow your knees to just fall to one side, 422 00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:24,096 any side, and then pause here, close your eyes 423 00:19:24,096 --> 00:19:26,916 and imagine, ah, 424 00:19:26,916 --> 00:19:30,305 you're on the beach or on a hill. 425 00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:38,210 And then bring it back through center 426 00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:39,578 and take it to the other side, and again, 427 00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:41,480 close your eyes and just have a peaceful moment 428 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,615 essentially is what we're tryin' to do. 429 00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:45,651 Just create a little peaceful moment with your breath. 430 00:19:45,651 --> 00:19:47,253 Close your eyes. 431 00:19:47,253 --> 00:19:50,112 Should feel really good, that inner rotation 432 00:19:50,112 --> 00:19:51,589 in the left hip. 433 00:19:58,464 --> 00:20:01,100 And then slowly come back to center. 434 00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,008 Send the legs out long. 435 00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:09,508 Then you're gonna bring the palms together, interlace, 436 00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:11,477 press the palms forward. 437 00:20:11,477 --> 00:20:15,614 Then keep them forward as you slowly begin to roll down. 438 00:20:15,614 --> 00:20:17,316 Tuck the tailbone. 439 00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:18,784 You can point the toes if you like here. 440 00:20:18,784 --> 00:20:20,786 Slow, slow, slow and steady. 441 00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:24,824 Keep pressing the palms forward, nice and slow, slow, slow. 442 00:20:24,824 --> 00:20:28,160 And then eventually, you'll come all the way down 443 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,696 to the earth, open the palms. 444 00:20:30,696 --> 00:20:32,631 Let them rest gently at your sides. 445 00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:36,335 You can shake the toes a little one way and then the other. 446 00:20:36,335 --> 00:20:37,703 Take a deep breath in. 447 00:20:38,804 --> 00:20:42,975 And exhale to relax everything, my darlings. 448 00:20:44,877 --> 00:20:46,412 Close your eyes again. 449 00:20:55,955 --> 00:20:57,990 And the at home yoga practice is awesome 450 00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:01,393 for considering the mind, getting your mind right, 451 00:21:01,393 --> 00:21:06,031 so great for tending to what's really going on. 452 00:21:06,031 --> 00:21:09,835 Sometimes we'll go work out or go to yoga 453 00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:13,405 and it's very prescribed, and that's really fun 454 00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:16,041 and you should do that too, but at home you get to really 455 00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:18,344 notice how you feel and check your thoughts. 456
