Draw your chin in towards your chest, 223 00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:19,185 nose in towards your knees, and pause here and breathe. 224 00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:20,687 Notice if there are places where you're kinda 225 00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:23,756 holding tension, soften and relax. 226 00:10:23,756 --> 00:10:26,726 Become more aware with each breath 227 00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,873 of this line of the spine. 228 00:10:38,404 --> 00:10:40,240 And then dropping through the heels, 229 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,341 we'll lift the hips up high. 230 00:10:41,341 --> 00:10:42,642 Straighten through the legs. 231 00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,444 Forward Fold. 232 00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,479 Inhale lifts you up halfway. 233 00:10:47,914 --> 00:10:50,316 And exhale to soften and bow. 234

without looking down. 240 00:11:08,368 --> 00:11:10,136 A lotta you are gonna wanna look down. 241 00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:12,539 'Cause it happens all the time and I speak from experience. 242 00:11:12,539 --> 00:11:14,874 But without looking down, see if you can bring your feet 243 00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:15,875 together, really together. 244 00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:18,177 That brings this kind of magic to it. 245 00:11:18,177 --> 00:11:21,948 And you have an awareness of where the earth is down below, 246 00:11:21,948 --> 00:11:24,551 so you don't really need to look anyway, you got it. 247 00:11:26,553 --> 00:11:30,123 Unless you're practicing this video on a hillside cliff 248 00:11:30,123 --> 00:11:32,926 or something, then you should be careful of your terrain. 249 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,895 Alright, and from here, you're gonna shift the weight 250 00:11:35,895 --> 00:11:36,896 to the right foot. 251 00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:39,332 And you're gonna peel the left heel up. 252 00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:41,701 And from here, we're just gonna slide the left toes back 253 00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:44,370 so you come into a nice lunge. 254 00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,539 Then you're gonna pivot on the back foot, 255 00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:49,475 draw the hands together like Warrior I. 256 00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:50,910 Inhale in. 257 00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:54,013 Exhale, straighten through that front leg. 258 00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:55,748 Then inhale in again. 259 00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:57,850 And exhale, send the hips back. 260 00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,486 You're gonna start to drape over, nice, flat back 261 00:12:00,486 --> 00:12:03,022 coming into our Pyramid Pose. 262 00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:05,959 So, fingertips will come down eventually, 263 00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:07,627 or maybe to two blocks. 264 00:12:07,627 --> 00:12:09,395 You might need to step your foot in just a bit, 265 00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,397 but we've been practicing with the heel up. 266 00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:13,499 We're gonna come to the full posture today 267 00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:15,168 by bringing the heel down. 268 00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:19,238 Left toes point towards the front, left corner of your mat, 269 00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:21,140 right toes point forward. 270 00:12:22,208 --> 00:12:24,310 Now we're gonna draw energy up from the right hip crease. 271 00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:26,179 So, go ahead and bring your right thumb 272 00:12:26,179 --> 00:12:28,314 to your right hip crease, pull it back if that helps 273 00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,916 just to feel that sensation. 274 00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:33,519 And then fingertips on the mat. 275 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,655 Palms can come together if you want a little more 276 00:12:35,655 --> 00:12:38,625 in the core, if you've been in this shape before. 277 00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,062 Or reverse namaste, or clasping the elbows behind, 278 00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:44,410 is also an option. 279 00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:48,201 Breathing deep. 280 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,105 Ramping up the breath here. 281 00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:02,782 Lengthening from crown to tail. 282

everyone, release the fingertips to the ground. 286 00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:13,092 As you bend your front knee, you're gonna lift 287 00:13:13,092 --> 00:13:15,595 your back foot up and you're gonna bend your back knee 288 00:13:15,595 --> 00:13:17,530 and just hug it in. 289 00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:18,464 Hug it all the way in. 290 00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:19,432 Bend your right knee. 291

breath awareness, being patient. 337 00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:28,094 And then once you feel like you've found your foundation, 338 00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:31,397 you can play around with what you do with the hands. 339 00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:34,667 So palms can stay together here, elbows left to right. 340 00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:37,606 We can go reverse namaste or clasp 341 00:15:37,606 -->

bring the hands back up. 396 00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:38,718 Take a deep breath in. 397 00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:41,988 Full body awareness in this transition. 398 00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:45,024 Again, one moving part, not a bunch of disjointed parts 399 00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:46,993 as you come all the way through. 400 00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:52,131 Then we're gonna come all the way to the back here. 401 00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,402 And when you land, we'll cross the right ankle 402 00:18:56,402 --> 00:19:00,306 over the top of the left thigh for a little Reclined Pigeon. 403 00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,141 So you'll thread the needle here 404 00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:06,278 and slowly squeeze the legs up towards your chest. 405 00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:08,581 Imagine you're pressing your left foot in 406 00:19:08,581 --> 00:19:10,950 to an imaginary wall there, so it's not just hanging here, 407 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:13,119 but the shin is parallel to the ceiling, 408 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,254 and then scoop your tailbone up, squeeze. 409 00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:17,056 If you want, you can straighten that leg actually 410 00:19:17,056 --> 00:19:17,890 if you'd like. 411 00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,726 You can also peel the nose up towards the shin. 412 00:19:20,726 --> 00:19:22,628 Keep the toes alive and active 413 00:19:22,628 --> 00:19:24,897 and keep your breath full. 414 00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,368 It's so good for the back. 415 00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:36,609 Nice, from here, listen carefully, 416 00:19:36,609 --> 00:19:38,444 you're gonna bring the left foot down. 417 00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:39,912 You're gonna cross the right foot. 418 00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:42,815 Continue to cross over kinda like we would 419 00:19:42,815 --> 00:19:44,216 if we were sitting in a desk. 420 00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:46,752 And then you're gonna shift your hips to the right. 421 00:19:46,752 --> 00:19:51,757 And then allow your legs to slowly move to the left. 422 00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:54,660 And then turn your gaze to look over 423 00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:56,862 your right fingertips, right shoulder. 424 00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:58,464 Big stretch, inhale. 425 00:19:59,732 --> 00:20:02,001 Let the breath move you here, exhale. 426 00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,906 Nice, come back to center. 427 00:20:08,607 --> 00:20:11,410 Unravel, and take it to the other side. 428 00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:12,845 Left ankle crosses over. 429 00:20:12,845 --> 00:20:16,015 We thread the needle here, Reclined One-Legged Pigeon. 430 00:20:30,296 --> 00:20:32,465 You can explore some variations here 431 00:20:32,465 --> 00:20:34,600 for your final breaths here. 432 00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:37,970 And then when you're ready, right foot'll come down. 433 00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:41,741 We'll continue to cross that left leg over. 434 00:20:42,875 --> 00:20:45,511 And then shift your hips just a bit to the left 435 00:20:45,511 --> 00:20:47,780 and gently allow your knees to fall to the right. 436 00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:51,584 And you'll turn, just to look past your left fingertips. 437 00:20:56,322 --> 00:20:57,456 Big breath in. 438 00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:01,727 Let the breath move you here, long breath out. 439 00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:06,365 Good, then slowly bring it back to center. 440 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,835 You'll send the legs out long. 441 00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:12,104 Inhale, reach the arms all the way up and overhead. 442 00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:13,739 Nice full body stretch. 443 00:21:14,874 --> 00:21:17,042 And then exhale to relax everything. 444 00:21:17,042 --> 00:21:20,146 Bring your hands down to rest gently at your sides. 445 00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:23,015 Now, tuck your chin here. 446 00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:24,950 Get settled in. 447 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:27,153 Any movement that you need, go ahead and take it now, 448 00:21:27,153 --> 00:21:28,821 and then come into stillness. 449 00:21:30,856 --> 00:21:32,258 Close your eyes. 450 00:21:34,727 --> 00:21:36,195 And just notice how you feel. 451 00:21:37,663 --> 00:21:40,699 Get close to whatever you're feeling. 452 00:21:40,699 --> 00:21:44,203 Any sounds that you hear around you, take it all in. 453 00:21:51,677 --> 00:21:53,646 And then starting at the soles of the feet, 454 00:21:53,646 --> 00:21:54,706 you're gonna bring your awareness 455 00:21:54,706 --> 00:21:56,645 to the soles of your feet. 456 00:21:56,645 --> 00:21:58,417 And you're just gonna do a full body scan, 457 00:21:58,417 --> 00:21:59,418 whatever that means to you. 458 00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,320 Just scanning the body. 459 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,156 Remembering yesterday's intention 460 00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:07,893 to be kind in your thoughts, your vision of yourself, 461 00:22:07,893 --> 00:22:10,596 your relationship, your conversation with yourself. 462 00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:15,568 And just slowly traveling up from the soles of the feet 463 00:22:15,568 --> 00:22:18,404 all the way up through the entire body. 464 00:22:19,505 --> 00:22:22,141 Move up past the ankles and the shins. 465 00:22:23,976 --> 00:22:27,446 Then past the knees and the thighs. 466 00:22:29,415 --> 00:22:32,384 Relax your glutes, sometimes we hold there, as you travel up 467 00:22:32,384 --> 00:22:35,955 through the glutes and the hips, the pelvis. 468 00:22:38,724 --> 00:22:41,627 And let your breath be easy-breezy 469 00:22:41,627 --> 00:22:45,164 as you soften and move up through the belly, the torso. 470 00:22:49,335 --> 00:22:52,338 Keep traveling up through your heart center, 471 00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:57,528 your shoulders, arms, wrists, 472 00:22:57,528 --> 00:23:00,148 fingers, soft and relaxed. 473 00:23:01,413 --> 00:23:06,418

00:23:10,522 --> 00:23:15,094 Soften through the forehead and all the way to the crown. 477 00:23:22,968 --> 00:23:24,551 Give thanks for your body. 478 00:23:28,423 --> 00:23:31,096 For this time
