1
00:00:00,334 --> 00:00:02,419
- What's up everyone 
and welcome to TRUE,

2
00:00:02,419 --> 00:00:03,921
your 30 day yoga journey.

3
00:00:03,921 --> 00:00:06,969
It's day 23

4
00:00:06,969 --> 00:00:11,261
and I am just so grateful 
and honored and truly

5
00:00:11,261 --> 00:00:13,499
impressed with this community.

6
00:00:13,499 --> 00:00:17,392
I cannot believe that we're
still here together, day 23,

7
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:20,437
the homestretch, 
the beginning of something new,

8
00:00:20,437 --> 00:00:24,107
the process, 
the candy, the unveiling.

9
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:27,110
Day 23 is all about balance
which for me this is one of the

10
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:28,528
many, many 
reasons why we're here.

11
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:31,657
To learn how to 
balance our true nature.

12
00:00:31,657 --> 00:00:33,510
So that we can be our 
best and feel our best

13
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:35,607
and look our best too.

14
00:00:35,607 --> 00:00:37,427
Let's get started.

15
00:00:37,427 --> 00:00:40,922
(uplifting music)

16
00:00:47,065 --> 00:00:50,737
Alright, let's begin in 
a nice comfortable seat.

17
00:00:52,437 --> 00:00:56,012
When you arrive, 
take a deep breath in

18
00:00:57,621 --> 00:01:02,514
and land with your 
nice, long juicy exhale.

19
00:01:08,277 --> 00:01:11,747
Sit up nice and tall

20
00:01:11,747 --> 00:01:15,053
and continue to 
gently deepen your breath.

21
00:01:17,134 --> 00:01:20,378
Today's practice 
is about balance

22
00:01:20,378 --> 00:01:23,496
but not just 
balancing on one leg.

23
00:01:25,791 --> 00:01:31,133
It's about really uniting, 
coming to terms with an

24
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:35,140
understanding this 
idea that in order

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,140
to uncover your true self

26
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,655
we have to

27
00:01:40,655 --> 00:01:44,109
have a practice at balancing

28
00:01:44,109 --> 00:01:48,317
because the whole 
thing requires that.

29
00:01:52,042 --> 00:01:55,449
So you are to continue to focus
on the breath and I'm gonna

30
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:58,677
invite you to open 
one palm, any palm,

31
00:01:58,677 --> 00:02:01,941
and then take the 
other palm and place it down.

32
00:02:01,941 --> 00:02:05,667
So you have one 
palm open, articulate,

33
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:08,029
and one palm down.

34
00:02:08,029 --> 00:02:10,231
Then sit up nice and tall 
and the palm that's open

35
00:02:10,231 --> 00:02:13,132
you're gonna be really 
soft with that hand.

36
00:02:13,132 --> 00:02:15,767
Find that finesse, that grace.

37
00:02:15,767 --> 00:02:16,862
And then with 
the palm that's down,

38
00:02:16,862 --> 00:02:19,723
you're really gonna 
grip that knee or thigh.

39
00:02:19,723 --> 00:02:22,671
We're softening through one
hand and really grounding down.

40
00:02:22,671 --> 00:02:25,003
And then see if for the
hand that your grounding down,

41
00:02:25,003 --> 00:02:27,714
you can really engage all
the muscles of your arm and so

42
00:02:27,714 --> 00:02:32,094
there's this incredible
dichotomy going on here between

43
00:02:32,094 --> 00:02:33,679
the grounding and the softening.

44
00:02:33,679 --> 00:02:37,432
The open palm and 
the palm that is down,

45
00:02:37,432 --> 00:02:39,873
face down.
We have up and down.

46
00:02:44,044 --> 00:02:48,090
Then close your eyes or soften
your gaze to look gently down

47
00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:50,843
past your nose.

48
00:02:50,843 --> 00:02:53,977
Sit up a little taller and 
just notice the sensation

49
00:02:57,265 --> 00:02:58,686
in your body today.

50
00:02:58,686 --> 00:03:00,814
Notice where your thoughts go.

51
00:03:04,653 --> 00:03:07,148
Continue to gently 
deepen your breath.

52
00:03:10,865 --> 00:03:12,668
Then open the 
eyes and we'll switch.

53
00:03:12,668 --> 00:03:14,338
So the palm that's down 
will now come up

54
00:03:14,338 --> 00:03:16,618
and the palm that's 
up will now go down.

55
00:03:16,618 --> 00:03:19,825
And again, want to really 
engage, kind of press down

56
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:22,479
and then really soften.

57
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,731
Find the detail 
in that open palm.

58
00:03:27,089 --> 00:03:29,800
Know when you feel like okay you
kinda got it then take a deep

59
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,115
breath in and close your 
eyes or soften your gaze.

60
00:03:34,726 --> 00:03:36,728
Just notice where you are today.

61
00:03:38,247 --> 00:03:42,717
Whatever you're feeling,
it's all good. Feel it.

62
00:03:42,717 --> 00:03:46,046
If you are expecting
to show up to the yoga mat or

63
00:03:46,046 --> 00:03:48,882
anything else 
feeling perfect all the time,

64
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:53,796
you're gonna be disappointed.

65
00:03:56,381 --> 00:03:58,383
You might struggle.

66
00:04:08,007 --> 00:04:11,996
Alright, awesome.
Take a deep breath in,

67
00:04:11,996 --> 00:04:15,580
exhale. Both palms face up 
or down, you get to choose.

68
00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:16,953
Which one do you need today?

69
00:04:16,953 --> 00:04:18,487
Both palms up 
feels right for me today.

70
00:04:18,487 --> 00:04:20,163
I don't know why but 
this just feels right.

71
00:04:20,163 --> 00:04:22,221
My intuition, 
my gut is telling me.

72
00:04:22,221 --> 00:04:25,935
Or both down, definitely 
need that today, grounding.

73
00:04:27,141 --> 00:04:29,155
So you choose.

74
00:04:32,048 --> 00:04:34,641
Then I'd like to invite you to
set a little intention for your

75
00:04:34,641 --> 00:04:36,885
balance practice today.
What's it gonna be?

76
00:04:38,989 --> 00:04:42,072
And it can be simply, "I choose
to be the best version of myself

77
00:04:42,072 --> 00:04:44,701
"here for the 
duration of this practice."

78
00:04:52,222 --> 00:04:53,517
When you feel like 
you have something,

79
00:04:53,517 --> 00:04:55,197
anything, tuck 
the chin slightly,

80
00:04:55,197 --> 00:04:57,040
bow the head to the heart.

81
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,035
Take a deep breath in.

82
00:05:00,035 --> 00:05:02,860
Fill the belly with air and as
you exhale just consider your

83
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:04,444
intention already done.

84
00:05:04,444 --> 00:05:06,447
Already so.

85
00:05:10,884 --> 00:05:13,421
We'll bring the palms 
together, lift the chin up,

86
00:05:13,421 --> 00:05:14,297
smile just a bit.

87
00:05:14,297 --> 00:05:17,926
Take a deep breath in 
and let's dive right in.

88
00:05:17,926 --> 00:05:20,521
We're gonna come all 
the way through to all fours.

89
00:05:26,947 --> 00:05:29,533
Find that nice 
Tabletop Position.

90
00:05:29,533 --> 00:05:32,828
Lift the front body up to meet
the back body and when you're

91
00:05:32,828 --> 00:05:35,497
ready, inhale, 
extend the right leg out.

92
00:05:35,497 --> 00:05:37,374
Curl the right toes under,
you're just gonna stretch a

93
00:05:37,374 --> 00:05:40,885
little bit here, 
rocking front to back.

94
00:05:40,885 --> 00:05:41,848
And then when you're ready,

95
00:05:41,848 --> 00:05:43,463
lift up from the 
right inner thigh.

96
00:05:43,463 --> 00:05:47,426
Keep your right pinky 
toe down and stay here,

97
00:05:47,426 --> 00:05:48,634
find your balance and stability

98
00:05:48,634 --> 00:05:51,617
by pressing away 
from the yoga mat.

99
00:05:52,222 --> 00:05:55,834
Stay there or you can add the
left arm by reaching it forward.

100
00:05:56,852 --> 00:06:00,063
Now, gaze straight 
down today, tuck your chin,

101
00:06:00,063 --> 00:06:02,480
lift your front body up 
to meet your back body

102
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,568
and then lift your back
body up towards the sky.

103
00:06:04,568 --> 00:06:06,987
Keep lifting from 
the right inner thigh.

104
00:06:06,987 --> 00:06:07,905
Pull your left thumb up.

105
00:06:07,905 --> 00:06:09,740
It's as if you're trying to
shake someone's hand here.

106
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:12,106
So your left 
thumb is up, pinky down.

107
00:06:12,106 --> 00:06:13,869
And then take one 
more deep breath in,

108
00:06:13,869 --> 00:06:16,997
let your whole body 
inflate and then exhale,

109
00:06:16,997 --> 00:06:20,626
slow and steady, with control, 
back down to all fours.

110
00:06:20,626 --> 00:06:23,378
Beautiful, here we 
go on the other side.

111
00:06:23,378 --> 00:06:25,047
Curl the left toes under, 
send 'em back.

112
00:06:25,047 --> 00:06:27,174
Just gonna stretch out here.

113
00:06:27,174 --> 00:06:29,689
Create more awareness from the

114
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:32,387
crown to the tail 
as you rock front to back.

115
00:06:32,387 --> 00:06:34,848
Kind of sawing motion here.

116
00:06:34,848 --> 00:06:38,352
And then when you're ready,
lift from the left inner thigh.

117
00:06:38,352 --> 00:06:41,310
Keep you left pinky toe down.

118
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:42,898
The glute engages.

119
00:06:42,898 --> 00:06:45,067
Then we stay here, 
hugging lower ribs in.

120
00:06:45,067 --> 00:06:48,153
Lifting front body up 
to meet the back body.

121
00:06:48,153 --> 00:06:49,780
Or we reach the 
right fingertips forward.

122
00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:51,114
Again, like you're 
shaking someone's hand.

123
00:06:51,114 --> 00:06:54,034
Thumb facing up, pinky down.

124
00:06:54,034 --> 00:06:56,036
Plug your right 
shoulder in, draw the navel up,

125
00:06:56,036 --> 00:06:58,038
keep breathing here.

126
00:06:59,249 --> 00:07:03,086
Gaze straight down, 
inhale in, inflate.

127
00:07:03,086 --> 00:07:06,673
And then exhale to release and
soften everything back down to

128
00:07:06,673 --> 00:07:08,717
Tabletop Position.

129
00:07:08,717 --> 00:07:10,844
Great, today with 
the toes curled under,

130
00:07:10,844 --> 00:07:13,805
inhale, drop the belly, 
open the chest.

131
00:07:13,805 --> 00:07:18,560
Exhale, send the hips back,
reach the fingertips forward.

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,938
Inhale, come up, drop the belly.

133
00:07:20,938 --> 00:07:24,733
Carve a line with the nose,
forward and up and then exhale,

134
00:07:24,733 --> 00:07:26,485
send it back.

135
00:07:26,485 --> 00:07:29,529
Stretch, melt your heart.

136
00:07:29,529 --> 00:07:30,577
Keep it going, inhale,

137
00:07:30,577 --> 00:07:33,242
carve a line 
forward, up and back.

138
00:07:33,242 --> 00:07:36,703
Cat Pose and then exhale,
toes are curled under today,

139
00:07:36,703 --> 00:07:37,876
stretch through the foot as you


140
00:07:37,876 --> 00:07:41,106
stretch and lean 
back with the hips.

141
00:07:41,106 --> 00:07:42,626
Heart melts down.

142
00:07:42,626 --> 00:07:44,381
One more time, 
inhale, carve a line

143
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:46,175
with the nose forward and up.

144
00:07:47,553 --> 00:07:50,576
And exhale, send it back.

145
00:07:52,551 --> 00:07:55,137
Great, from here we'll 
come back to all fours,

146
00:07:55,137 --> 00:07:58,489
peel up from the tail, 
Downward Facing Dog.

147
00:08:01,390 --> 00:08:03,683
Pedal it out here, 
shake the head loose.

148
00:08:06,568 --> 00:08:09,633
Then you're just gonna
walk to the center of your mat,

149
00:08:09,633 --> 00:08:10,814
Forward Fold.

150
00:08:10,814 --> 00:08:13,150
Feet and hands come together
in the center of your mat.

151
00:08:13,150 --> 00:08:16,111
Bend your knees, tuck your
chin, and then nice and slow,

152
00:08:16,111 --> 00:08:18,113
roll up to stand.

153
00:08:23,233 --> 00:08:26,890
And as you rise to 
stand tall in your Mountain,

154
00:08:26,890 --> 00:08:29,977
you're gonna shift your weight
to your left foot right away and

155
00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:33,188
inhale, sweep the fingertips
up and we're gonna pick up the

156
00:08:33,188 --> 00:08:35,649
right knee as if it were on a
marionette string here and it

157
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:38,667
doesn't really matter how
high or how low you pick it up.

158
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:41,044
You're gonna pick it up, you're
gonna hug the inner thighs to

159
00:08:41,044 --> 00:08:44,173
the midline, we're gonna come to
a standing one-legged Tadasana.

160
00:08:44,173 --> 00:08:46,329
So if that big toe's 
on the ground, awesome.

161
00:08:46,329 --> 00:08:47,502
You might just be here.

162
00:08:47,502 --> 00:08:50,016
Might be here, here, 
here, here, here.

163
00:08:50,993 --> 00:08:52,713
Then big beach 
ball up and overhead

164
00:08:52,713 --> 00:08:55,368
so give yourself 
more space today.

165
00:08:57,202 --> 00:08:58,773
Breathe deep.

166
00:08:58,773 --> 00:09:02,074
Think of both inner thighs kind
of squeezing into the midline.

167
00:09:03,323 --> 00:09:05,867
Strong and 
connected to your breath.

168
00:09:05,867 --> 00:09:08,578
Center is engaged, inhale in.

169
00:09:08,578 --> 00:09:11,961
Exhale slowly lower 
the right foot down first,

170
00:09:11,961 --> 00:09:14,126
and then you're gonna 
release the fingertips down.

171
00:09:14,126 --> 00:09:16,837
Come to Mountain.

172
00:09:16,837 --> 00:09:20,806
Deep breath in, long breath out.

173
00:09:21,475 --> 00:09:24,269
Great, shift over to the
right foot now and here we go.

174
00:09:24,269 --> 00:09:25,646
Lifting up from 
the left knee now,

175
00:09:25,646 --> 00:09:28,148
fingertips sweep 
forward, up and back.

176
00:09:28,148 --> 00:09:31,151
Inhale, standing 
one-legged Tadasana here.

177
00:09:31,151 --> 00:09:33,237
Big beach ball up and overhead.

178
00:09:33,237 --> 00:09:35,447
Press away from 
your standing leg.

179
00:09:35,447 --> 00:09:38,700
So we're not sinking into that
hip but really pressing away

180
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,757
from your standing leg.

181
00:09:42,030 --> 00:09:44,695
And then think of the 
intention that you set earlier.

182
00:09:44,695 --> 00:09:46,896
Pull the thumbs back, inhale in.

183
00:09:48,516 --> 00:09:52,077
And exhale, left leg comes down,
left foot kisses the earth.

184
00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:54,048
Inhale

185
00:09:54,048 --> 00:09:57,415
and exhale, 
rain the fingertips down.

186
00:09:57,415 --> 00:10:00,095
Awesome, interlace 
the fingertips behind.

187
00:10:00,095 --> 00:10:02,973
Knuckles draw down and away as
you open up through the chest.

188
00:10:04,676 --> 00:10:06,993
Breathe deep.

189
00:10:10,889 --> 00:10:15,018
Then release, bend the knees
and inhale to reach for the sky.

190
00:10:15,018 --> 00:10:16,631
Exhale, Forward Fold,

191
00:10:16,631 --> 00:10:19,206
all the way down, nice and easy.

192
00:10:20,611 --> 00:10:23,043
Great, from here just 
take a cycle of breath

193
00:10:23,043 --> 00:10:24,415
to shake the head loose.

194
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:26,876
Let go of any stress or tension.

195
00:10:28,212 --> 00:10:29,575
And land here in this moment.

196
00:10:29,575 --> 00:10:31,986
Maybe you're just now 
arriving here with your breath.

197
00:10:31,986 --> 00:10:35,134
Sometimes it takes some time.

198
00:10:36,546 --> 00:10:38,805
Great, then from here, 
inhale, halfway lift.

199
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:42,402
Your version and exhale to fold.

200
00:10:42,402 --> 00:10:44,822
Inhale, reach for the sky.

201
00:10:44,822 --> 00:10:46,446
All the way up, 
reach, reach, reach,

202
00:10:46,446 --> 00:10:48,594
and exhale hands to heart.

203
00:10:49,618 --> 00:10:52,162
Beautiful, now 
without looking down,

204
00:10:52,162 --> 00:10:54,591
so keep your chin lifted here,

205
00:10:54,591 --> 00:10:57,417
you're gonna bring the feet
together, really together.

206
00:11:00,482 --> 00:11:02,310
Then shift the weight 
to your left foot again,

207
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:04,966
fingertips are gonna 
go down to come up, inhale.

208
00:11:04,966 --> 00:11:07,844
Gather energy into your
center of gravity and lift up,

209
00:11:07,844 --> 00:11:09,595
one-legged Tadasana.

210
00:11:09,595 --> 00:11:12,903
Inhale in, as you exhale you're
gonna slowly bring your

211
00:11:12,903 --> 00:11:17,047
left hand to the 
outer edge of your right leg

212
00:11:17,047 --> 00:11:17,937
and you're gonna bring

213
00:11:17,937 --> 00:11:20,149
your right elbow 
behind you, bending.

214
00:11:20,149 --> 00:11:22,291
Cactus arms.

215
00:11:22,291 --> 00:11:24,449
Now you have to not collapse 
into your left hip here.

216
00:11:24,449 --> 00:11:28,370
You have to press away from the
yoga mat with your standing leg.

217
00:11:28,370 --> 00:11:31,790
Find that balance, that 
resistance between the two

218
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:33,959
opposing forces of gravity, yes?

219
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:36,545
Here we go, one more breath.

220
00:11:36,545 --> 00:11:38,296
Then exhale to 
come back to center,

221
00:11:38,296 --> 00:11:41,716
hands come together 
first and then we release.

222
00:11:41,716 --> 00:11:46,163
Ooh. Not your normal 
tree pose today, eh?

223
00:11:46,163 --> 00:11:48,456
Here we go, inhale.

224
00:11:48,456 --> 00:11:50,792
Exhale.

225
00:11:50,792 --> 00:11:52,294
Fingertips go down to come up.

226
00:11:52,294 --> 00:11:53,628
Shift your weight 
to your right foot,

227
00:11:53,628 --> 00:11:56,965
we're gonna inhale, peel
the left knee all the way up.

228
00:11:56,965 --> 00:11:59,551
Find your standing one-legged
Tadasana and again remember it

229
00:11:59,551 --> 00:12:01,553
can totally be here.

230
00:12:02,721 --> 00:12:05,267
If your leg's lifted, 
activate that foot.

231
00:12:05,267 --> 00:12:07,519
Full body awareness.

232
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:09,146
Then press away 
from your standing leg,

233
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:12,723
inhale, and then exhale, 
slow and steady.

234
00:12:12,723 --> 00:12:16,060
Right arm's gonna come to the
outer edge of your left leg and

235
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:18,315
the left elbow's 
gonna come behind.

236
00:12:18,315 --> 00:12:22,278
Breathe, twist, hold on 
to a focus or Drishti point.

237
00:12:22,278 --> 00:12:24,447
Maybe just down past your nose.

238
00:12:24,447 --> 00:12:27,340
You got this, inhale, press
away from that standing leg,

239
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:28,416
standing foot. You got it,

240
00:12:28,416 --> 00:12:30,691
create length in 
the right hip crease.

241
00:12:30,691 --> 00:12:33,010
And then slow and steady 
with control back to center,

242
00:12:33,010 --> 00:12:35,762
palms come together and 
we release that foot down.

243
00:12:35,762 --> 00:12:38,717
Awesome work, inhale in.

244
00:12:38,717 --> 00:12:41,550
Exhale to relax the shoulders.

245
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:44,604
Then you're gonna walk 
to the front of your mat,

246
00:12:44,604 --> 00:12:45,814
we're gonna take a flow here.

247
00:12:45,814 --> 00:12:49,196
Here we go, big inhale, 
reach for the sky.

248
00:12:49,196 --> 00:12:52,904
Exhale to rain to 
down, Forward Fold.

249
00:12:52,904 --> 00:12:55,449
Inhale, halfway lift.

250
00:12:55,449 --> 00:12:57,034
Exhale, fold.

251
00:12:57,034 --> 00:12:58,994
Bend the knees, 
step the right toes back,

252
00:12:58,994 --> 00:13:01,210
step the left toes back.

253
00:13:01,210 --> 00:13:04,129
Strong Plank or Half Plank.

254
00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:06,423
Inhale, look forward, 
shift forward.

255
00:13:06,423 --> 00:13:10,177
Exhale, hug the elbows in and
slowly lower down to the belly.

256
00:13:10,177 --> 00:13:12,888
Inhale, Cobra, nice and easy.

257
00:13:12,888 --> 00:13:14,640
Exhale to release.

258
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,477
Inhale, Plank or 
Half Plank, all fours.

259
00:13:18,477 --> 00:13:20,230
Exhale to your Downward Dog.

260
00:13:21,579 --> 00:13:24,752
Inhale to look forward, 
bend the knees.

261
00:13:24,752 --> 00:13:26,694
Exhale to make 
your way all the way up,

262
00:13:26,694 --> 00:13:28,570
top of your mat.

263
00:13:28,570 --> 00:13:31,323
Inhale, halfway lift, 
your version.

264
00:13:31,323 --> 00:13:33,993
Exhale to soften and bow.

265
00:13:33,993 --> 00:13:36,662
Inhale to reach for 
the sky, really reach.

266
00:13:36,662 --> 00:13:39,957
Exhale, hands to heart, 
Mountain Pose.

267
00:13:39,957 --> 00:13:42,334
Close your eyes, 
observe your breath.

268
00:13:47,404 --> 00:13:49,592
Then on your next inhale, 
here we go again,

269
00:13:49,592 --> 00:13:51,219
reach for the sky.

270
00:13:51,219 --> 00:13:54,347
Exhale, rain it down, 
Forward Fold.

271
00:13:54,347 --> 00:13:56,849
Inhale, halfway lift, 
your version.

272
00:13:56,849 --> 00:13:58,351
Exhale, soften and release.

273
00:13:58,351 --> 00:14:00,478
Drop the poses, 
sync up with your breath.

274
00:14:00,478 --> 00:14:02,230
Step or hop it back.

275
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:03,481
Inhale, shift forward.

276
00:14:03,481 --> 00:14:06,067
Exhale, lower down.

277
00:14:06,067 --> 00:14:08,903
Inhale, open your heart.

278
00:14:08,903 --> 00:14:13,366
And exhale to slowly make
your way to Downward Facing Dog.

279
00:14:13,366 --> 00:14:15,952
Now this time in 
your Dog, inhale,

280
00:14:15,952 --> 00:14:18,663
lift the right leg up high.

281
00:14:18,663 --> 00:14:21,666
Exhale, knee to nose.

282
00:14:21,666 --> 00:14:23,709
Step it all the way up.

283
00:14:23,709 --> 00:14:25,711
Pivot on the back foot.

284
00:14:25,711 --> 00:14:28,548
Connect to your center as you
press into the front foot and

285
00:14:28,548 --> 00:14:30,675
come up, hands at the heart.

286
00:14:30,675 --> 00:14:33,636
Now pull the right 
hip crease back here.

287
00:14:33,636 --> 00:14:36,347
Strong and steady, press into
the knife edge of your back

288
00:14:36,347 --> 00:14:39,725
foot, breath deep.

289
00:14:39,725 --> 00:14:43,716
Inhale, exhale, 
you're gonna slowly dial heart

290
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,439
and center to the left.

291
00:14:45,439 --> 00:14:46,691
Lengthen tailbone down.

292
00:14:46,691 --> 00:14:49,026
Feel the muscles that engage.

293
00:14:49,026 --> 00:14:51,195
And then send the 
fingertips out wide,

294
00:14:51,195 --> 00:14:53,406
Warrior II.

295
00:14:53,406 --> 00:14:55,950
Inhale to send it back, 
Peaceful Warrior.

296
00:14:55,950 --> 00:14:57,994
Big breath, big stretch.

297
00:14:57,994 --> 00:15:00,663
And then exhale to 
bring it all the way forward,

298
00:15:00,663 --> 00:15:02,081
Extended Side Angle.

299
00:15:02,081 --> 00:15:05,084
Left fingertips to the sky,
option to bring right fingertips

300
00:15:05,084 --> 00:15:06,748
down to the earth.

301
00:15:06,748 --> 00:15:11,257
Inhale in, exhale bring 
it back down to your lunge.

302
00:15:11,257 --> 00:15:14,177
Inhale, big twist here, 
right fingertips to the sky,

303
00:15:14,177 --> 00:15:15,887
inhale.

304
00:15:15,887 --> 00:15:18,264
Exhale to release.

305
00:15:18,264 --> 00:15:22,977
Now from here, we're gonna come
up into that modified Pyramid.

306
00:15:22,977 --> 00:15:24,812
So instead of the 
heel down, the heel's up.

307
00:15:24,812 --> 00:15:28,274
Front leg is straight, 
back leg is straight.

308
00:15:28,274 --> 00:15:30,693
Inhale, look forward, 
bend the knees.

309
00:15:30,693 --> 00:15:33,529
Exhale, lift the 
back leg up, any height,

310
00:15:33,529 --> 00:15:35,698
any length!

311
00:15:35,698 --> 00:15:38,284
Standing Splits.

312
00:15:38,284 --> 00:15:40,119
The big toe can 
be on the ground.

313
00:15:40,119 --> 00:15:42,705
Want to keep the pinky toe
dialed down and lift from your

314
00:15:42,705 --> 00:15:44,790
left inner thigh.

315
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:48,753
Option here to draw the 
nose in toward the knee.

316
00:15:48,753 --> 00:15:51,631
Maybe to wrap the arms 
around the ankle or the calf.

317
00:15:53,114 --> 00:15:56,135
Breathe deep here.

318
00:15:56,135 --> 00:16:00,056
Lifting from the 
left inner thigh.

319
00:16:00,056 --> 00:16:02,183
Then slowly release 
the fingertips down,

320
00:16:02,183 --> 00:16:03,184
check it out everyone.

321
00:16:03,184 --> 00:16:06,771
We're gonna bring 
the big toe down here.

322
00:16:06,771 --> 00:16:09,732
Left big toe down, and we're
gonna bend the left knee and

323
00:16:09,732 --> 00:16:11,692
we're gonna bring 
it in just behind.

324
00:16:11,692 --> 00:16:14,779
We're gonna do a 
little plie, little bend here.

325
00:16:14,779 --> 00:16:16,904
Give it a try, looking forward.

326
00:16:16,904 --> 00:16:20,041
And then send it all the way
back to your nice low lunge.

327
00:16:20,041 --> 00:16:23,461
Awesome, plant the palms, 
step the right toes back.

328
00:16:23,461 --> 00:16:28,424
Move straight to Downward Facing
Dog or take a little flow here.

329
00:16:28,424 --> 00:16:30,426
Moving with your breath.

330
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,319
In Downward Dog, inhale, 
lift the left leg up high.

331
00:16:39,319 --> 00:16:41,613
Exhale, squeeze 
and shift forward.

332
00:16:41,613 --> 00:16:43,407
Knee to nose.

333
00:16:43,407 --> 00:16:44,825
Then, step it up.

334
00:16:44,825 --> 00:16:47,452
Pivot on the back 
foot and rise up strong,

335
00:16:47,452 --> 00:16:51,123
Warrior I with the 
hands at the heart.

336
00:16:51,123 --> 00:16:55,460
So find this connection 
through your front body.

337
00:16:55,460 --> 00:17:00,134
Use the sternum 
and thumb connection

338
00:17:00,134 --> 00:17:01,284
and then when you're ready,

339
00:17:01,284 --> 00:17:04,118
press into the knife edge 
of that back foot, inhale.

340
00:17:04,118 --> 00:17:06,454
Exhale, dial it to the right.

341
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:11,355
Beautiful, find your 
foundation here.

342
00:17:11,355 --> 00:17:13,440
And then send 
it out, Warrior II.

343
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,776
Arms reaching way 
beyond the fingertips.

344
00:17:15,776 --> 00:17:19,320
Energy reaching way 
beyond the fingertips.

345
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,490
Your arms can't really 
reach beyond your fingertips.

346
00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:24,409
Okay, send it back, 
inhale, Peaceful Warrior.

347
00:17:24,409 --> 00:17:26,120
Keep a deep bend 
in that front knee.

348
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:29,665
Big stretch, big breath 
and then all the way forward.

349
00:17:31,293 --> 00:17:35,170
Extended Side Angle, 
your version.

350
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:37,589
Breathing deep here, inhale.

351
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:41,343
Use an exhale to gently soften,
bring it back to your lunge.

352
00:17:42,268 --> 00:17:45,712
Inhale in, exhale 
ready for that twist.

353
00:17:45,712 --> 00:17:47,489
Right hand comes down.

354
00:17:47,489 --> 00:17:49,700
On your next breath in, 
reach for the sky.

355
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:51,703
Lift the hips up high, 
left fingertips reach,

356
00:17:51,703 --> 00:17:55,498
reach, reach and 
then bring it back down.

357
00:17:55,498 --> 00:17:56,957
Sweet, Pyramid Pose.

358
00:17:56,957 --> 00:18:00,336
Step it in, so modified, we're
gonna keep the heel lifted.

359
00:18:02,108 --> 00:18:04,590
And when you feel like you've
gathered your bearings here

360
00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:08,135
you're gonna bring 
the fingertips in front.

361
00:18:08,135 --> 00:18:11,597
Bend that front knee, bend
your back knee and here we go,

362
00:18:11,597 --> 00:18:13,641
lift off.

363
00:18:13,641 --> 00:18:15,434
So it can be very 
low here to start.

364
00:18:15,434 --> 00:18:16,776
Big toe on the ground.

365
00:18:16,776 --> 00:18:19,654
We're gonna keep the 
right inner thigh lifting.

366
00:18:21,952 --> 00:18:23,715
So the hips are level.

367
00:18:23,715 --> 00:18:27,050
And just play with 
wherever you're at today.

368
00:18:27,050 --> 00:18:29,386
Maybe in time we 
work to wrap the hands,

369
00:18:29,386 --> 00:18:31,972
the palms gently with 
finesse around the calf.

370
00:18:33,593 --> 00:18:36,101
Breathing deep.

371
00:18:36,101 --> 00:18:38,103
Everyone dial 
your right toes down.

372
00:18:38,103 --> 00:18:42,190
So it may mean that 
you don't go as high.

373
00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:44,192
Engaging the right glute.

374
00:18:44,192 --> 00:18:46,861
Breathing deep, 
keeping the shoulders relaxed.

375
00:18:53,443 --> 00:18:55,372
And then release the 
fingertips back to the earth.

376
00:18:55,372 --> 00:18:57,958
We'll go ahead and put 
the right big toe down.

377
00:18:57,958 --> 00:19:00,252
Inhale, look forward.

378
00:19:00,252 --> 00:19:02,379
And then exhale, you're gonna
bend your right knee and bring

379
00:19:02,379 --> 00:19:04,256
it right behind your left knee.

380
00:19:04,256 --> 00:19:07,176
Squeeze as you 
bend your standing leg.

381
00:19:07,176 --> 00:19:08,594
Big plie here.

382
00:19:08,594 --> 00:19:10,763
Squeeze, squeeze, 
squeeze, hug it all in.

383
00:19:10,763 --> 00:19:13,682
Awesome, then shoot it all back
out into your nice low lunge.

384
00:19:13,682 --> 00:19:15,684
Awesome, inhale to look forward.

385
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:19,215
Exhale to plant the palms, 
go straight to Downward Dog

386
00:19:19,215 --> 00:19:20,637
or move through a flow.

387
00:19:20,637 --> 00:19:23,270
Moving with your breath.

388
00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:26,190
Keeping it soft and easy.

389
00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:28,317
No forcing.

390
00:19:28,317 --> 00:19:31,987
Awesome and one more time, 
take a deep breath in.

391
00:19:31,987 --> 00:19:33,822
Nice cleansing 
exhale, let it go.

392
00:19:35,716 --> 00:19:39,657
Now pause here, keep breathing
but just come to stillness.

393
00:19:39,657 --> 00:19:41,659
Close your eyes.

394
00:19:43,832 --> 00:19:46,977
Head below the heart.
An inversion here.

395
00:19:46,977 --> 00:19:51,125
So good for 
balancing out the body.

396
00:19:53,437 --> 00:19:56,036
The energy of the body.

397
00:19:57,958 --> 00:20:01,295
Nice, then 
slowly bend the knees,

398
00:20:01,295 --> 00:20:03,594
bring 'em down to the earth.

399
00:20:03,594 --> 00:20:06,091
You're gonna bring the knees
together and we're gonna come to

400
00:20:06,091 --> 00:20:07,217
sit on the heels.

401
00:20:07,217 --> 00:20:09,553
If this is not available 
to you and your body,

402
00:20:09,553 --> 00:20:10,645
then we'll just make a shift

403
00:20:10,645 --> 00:20:12,723
and you can just 
sit however you like.

404
00:20:12,723 --> 00:20:15,517
Cross-legged or on 
a towel or a block.

405
00:20:20,742 --> 00:20:23,295
In whatever seat 
that you have chosen,

406
00:20:23,295 --> 00:20:25,773
you're gonna sit up nice and
tall so you're not just dumping

407
00:20:25,773 --> 00:20:29,735
all of your weight but rather
we're connecting a little bit to

408
00:20:29,735 --> 00:20:32,405
Mula Bandha, this lift 
up from the pelvic floor.

409
00:20:32,405 --> 00:20:35,159
Just explore.

410
00:20:35,159 --> 00:20:38,868
And then we're gonna take one
palm up and place one palm down.

411
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,158
And close your eyes and 
just feel if you can just

412
00:20:47,158 --> 00:20:49,144
notice any sort 
of sensation at all.

413
00:20:49,144 --> 00:20:51,179
Just energy 
stirring in your body,

414
00:20:51,179 --> 00:20:52,522
any tension.

415
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:58,347
And deepen your breath 
as you continue to assess.

416
00:21:07,111 --> 00:21:09,281
And then the palm that's up,
go ahead and bring it down.

417
00:21:09,281 --> 00:21:11,439
The palm that's down, 
go ahead and flip it up.

418
00:21:11,439 --> 00:21:15,568
Same thing, sit back, 
lean in to this moment.

419
00:21:15,568 --> 00:21:19,739
Just noticing, 
quieting the mind.

420
00:21:19,739 --> 00:21:21,741
Listening to the 
sound of your breath.

421
00:21:37,646 --> 00:21:42,192
And again, you decide both
palms up or both palms down.

422
00:21:44,461 --> 00:21:46,431
Make that brain and body connect

423
00:21:46,431 --> 00:21:49,838
and whichever you land on

424
00:21:49,838 --> 00:21:51,356
this is where we'll end today.

425
00:21:51,356 --> 00:21:54,473
Take a deep breath in,

426
00:21:54,473 --> 00:21:56,897
and a long breath out.

427
00:22:00,555 --> 00:22:03,119
Little moment of gratitude.

428
00:22:04,201 --> 00:22:07,606
Really, really incredible
work showing up here every day.

429
00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:12,562
It's not lost on me and I'm
pretty sure it can not be lost

430
00:22:12,562 --> 00:22:14,648
on you even if it's 
deep down inside of you,

431
00:22:14,648 --> 00:22:16,931
this appreciation for yourself.

432
00:22:23,101 --> 00:22:26,088
As you're ready, gently 
bring the palms together.

433
00:22:26,088 --> 00:22:29,967
We'll bring the thumbs 
right up to the third eye.

434
00:22:29,967 --> 00:22:34,190
Take a deep breath 
in and exhale to bow.

435
00:22:35,774 --> 00:22:38,195
Namaste.

436
00:22:38,195 --> 00:22:41,974
(uplifting music)
