00:00:00,417 --> 00:00:02,291
- Hi everyone,
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

2
00:00:02,291 --> 00:00:03,125
I'm Adriene.

3
00:00:03,125 --> 00:00:07,041
Today we have an awesome
throat chakra yoga for you.

4
00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:08,667
So this is a big request.

5
00:00:08,667 --> 00:00:11,667
If you want to be
nerdy like me, you can wear

6
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:13,750
a little blue for
your practice today.

7
00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:14,708
If not, don't worry about it,

8
00:00:14,708 --> 00:00:17,458
hop into something
comfy and let's get started.

9
00:00:17,458 --> 00:00:20,250
(upbeat music)

10
00:00:30,125 --> 00:00:31,625
Alrighty my sweet friends,

11
00:00:31,625 --> 00:00:33,917
let's begin in a
nice comfortable seat.

12
00:00:33,917 --> 00:00:35,291
Come on down to the ground.

13
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:43,417
And when you're ready,
sit up nice and tall.

14
00:00:44,375 --> 00:00:46,000
Relax your shoulders down.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,375
And bring your hands
together at your heart.

16
00:00:56,083 --> 00:00:58,542
Take a second here
to just get settled in.

17
00:00:58,542 --> 00:01:00,667
The hardest part is over,
you selected the video.

18
00:01:00,667 --> 00:01:02,583
You carved out
this time for yourself.

19
00:01:02,583 --> 00:01:05,000
Trust, trust the process.

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Trust that this
time is valuable.

21
00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:11,959
Let's begin by
tucking the chin slightly,

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,000
feeling this lengthening
through the back of the neck.

23
00:01:19,291 --> 00:01:21,166
And then gently
lift your heart space,

24
00:01:21,166 --> 00:01:24,500
your heart chakra, your
heart center to your thumbs.

25
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:29,083
So it's ever
so slight, it's subtle.

26
00:01:29,083 --> 00:01:31,500
But there's a
little bit of a connection

27
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:36,000
already brewing heart between
the heart and the throat.

28
00:01:39,417 --> 00:01:41,000
And if you're
like, "Ooh I don't know

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,083
"if I should've done
this video, this is weird,"

30
00:01:43,083 --> 00:01:45,417
Just see what you
can get out of it.

31
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:46,667
You don't have
to get everything.

32
00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:48,792
Everything
doesn't have to resonate.

33
00:01:48,792 --> 00:01:49,959
Just experiment.

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,625
Use this time to stretch to
breathe and to recenter, right?

35
00:01:54,625 --> 00:01:56,041
Working to find

36
00:01:57,667 --> 00:02:02,708
an equilibrium,
a feeling of balance

37
00:02:04,542 --> 00:02:05,708
energetically.

38
00:02:12,583 --> 00:02:14,208
Now close your eyes
if you haven't already.

39
00:02:14,208 --> 00:02:16,959
Trust me, trust yourself.

40
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:19,000
Trust this practice, this video.

41
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:22,417
And hang with me now here.

42
00:02:22,542 --> 00:02:23,625
As you're willing.

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Heart lifted.

44
00:02:27,708 --> 00:02:30,083
Head in a reverent bow.

45
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:33,166
Soften your jaw.

46
00:02:33,166 --> 00:02:35,083
And start to
gently deepen your breath.

47
00:02:40,041 --> 00:02:42,000
Just observe what happens.

48
00:02:45,667 --> 00:02:49,375
Notice if it's
hard to breathe full

49
00:02:49,375 --> 00:02:51,041
depth of breath here today.

50
00:02:52,875 --> 00:02:54,583
Notice if it feels good.

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,166
Let one breath
cycle bleed into the next

52
00:03:00,166 --> 00:03:02,834
so just take once
cycle of breath at a time,

53
00:03:02,834 --> 00:03:04,458
not really
trying to force anything

54
00:03:04,458 --> 00:03:09,041
or do anything, just
allowing the story to unfold.

55
00:03:15,041 --> 00:03:18,583
And then if you like, you
can repeat this affirmation

56
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:20,000
quietly to yourself.

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,458
I speak my truth,

58
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,250
openly and freely.

59
00:03:34,875 --> 00:03:38,000
I speak my truth,
openly and freely.

60
00:03:44,291 --> 00:03:46,000
Take a deep breath in.

61
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:48,708
A long breath out.

62
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:53,417
Interlace the fingertips,
lift the chin.

63
00:03:53,417 --> 00:03:54,458
Open your eyes.

64
00:03:55,375 --> 00:03:57,083
Bring the knuckles right
underneath the chin here.

65
00:03:57,083 --> 00:03:58,333
Sit up nice and tall.

66
00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:00,166
On an inhale, we're
gonna take the elbows out,

67
00:04:00,166 --> 00:04:01,750
left to right.

68
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:04,041
Continue this
journey up by slowly

69
00:04:04,041 --> 00:04:07,000
pressing the knuckles
up to the chin and looking

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
up towards the sky.

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,834
As sending your
gaze all the way up,

72
00:04:09,834 --> 00:04:12,417
and not necessarily up to
crunch the back of the neck

73
00:04:12,417 --> 00:04:13,333
but just up.

74
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:15,750
Good, exhale.

75
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:17,917
Round it through,
elbows come together.

76
00:04:17,917 --> 00:04:21,041
Navel comes back
towards the spine.

77
00:04:21,041 --> 00:04:24,166
And we look down
towards the ground.

78
00:04:24,166 --> 00:04:25,500
Again, inhale.

79
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:27,667
Lifting up, long puppy belly.

80
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:30,333
Think Cobra, or
Upward Facing Dog here.

81
00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:33,166
Elbows spread left to right,
we look up.

82
00:04:33,166 --> 00:04:36,333
And exhale, chin to chest,
elbows come together.

83
00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:38,083
We round through the spine.

84
00:04:38,083 --> 00:04:40,792
Keep it soft and
easy here this time.

85
00:04:40,792 --> 00:04:44,000
Inhale, elbows wide,
breathe deep.

86
00:04:45,041 --> 00:04:47,166
Exhale chin to chest.

87
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,208
Good.

88
00:04:50,208 --> 00:04:52,250
Inhale to come
all the way back up.

89
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:54,834
Fingertips are
gonna come to our sides.

90
00:04:54,834 --> 00:04:56,959
Inhale to look up.

91
00:04:56,959 --> 00:04:59,708
Exhale, right fingertips
are gonna reach up and over,

92
00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:02,500
nice, gentle side body stretch.

93
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,583
Come back through center.

94
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:06,792
Good, inhale to look up.

95
00:05:06,792 --> 00:05:10,250
Exhale, side body stretch,
nice and gentle.

96
00:05:11,917 --> 00:05:13,208
Checking in.

97
00:05:13,208 --> 00:05:16,000
Beautiful, come back to center.

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,625
Inhale palms come together,
Anjali Mudra at the heart.

99
00:05:19,625 --> 00:05:22,000
Exhale to relax
the shoulders down.

100
00:05:22,834 --> 00:05:23,625
Beautiful.

101
00:05:23,625 --> 00:05:25,875
From here, I'm gonna
slowly tilt the left ear

102
00:05:25,875 --> 00:05:27,458
over the left shoulder.

103
00:05:27,458 --> 00:05:30,000
Place your left
hand on your heart space.

104
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Right fingertips
come to the earth.

105
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:37,458
Breathe deep here, maybe walking
the right fingertips back.

106
00:05:37,458 --> 00:05:39,250
Oop, tickling Benji's paw.

107
00:05:40,792 --> 00:05:44,375
Feel that stretch
in the side neck,

108
00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:46,667
that lengthening
through the crown.

109
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:49,583
Notice how that's connected
to the shoulder and the scaps.

110
00:05:50,792 --> 00:05:53,000
Keep the heart lifted
towards your left palm.

111
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:58,000
And then slowly begin to
float the right fingertips up.

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,417
Press your palm
into an imaginary surface

113
00:06:00,417 --> 00:06:01,708
and breathe deep.

114
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,250
Spread the fingers.

115
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,500
One more breathe, inhale.

116
00:06:08,291 --> 00:06:11,166
And exhale,
and then slowly bring

117
00:06:11,166 --> 00:06:12,458
everything back to center.

118
00:06:12,458 --> 00:06:15,000
Palms come together in prayer.

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Big breath in.

120
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,834
Relax the shoulders
as you breathe out.

121
00:06:19,333 --> 00:06:20,166
Good.

122
00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:22,500
Right ear over right shoulder.

123
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,125
Right palm to the heart space.

124
00:06:24,125 --> 00:06:25,500
And left fingertips
to the earth.

125
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,083
Pause here, just check in.

126
00:06:27,083 --> 00:06:28,458
Close your eyes.

127
00:06:29,542 --> 00:06:32,375
Playing with the
subtle body here today.

128
00:06:32,375 --> 00:06:35,041
So there is some
gross big movements, right?

129
00:06:35,041 --> 00:06:37,875
But see if you can find
that subtle body connection

130
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:39,250
as you breathe deep.

131
00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:45,583
And when you're ready,
draw the shoulder blades

132
00:06:45,583 --> 00:06:48,250
together here, start to
lift the left fingertips up.

133
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:51,375
Press your left palm
into an imaginary surface

134
00:06:51,375 --> 00:06:55,000
and notice, pay attention
to the sensation here.

135
00:06:56,458 --> 00:06:58,542
Finding of course,
soft easing movement,

136
00:06:58,542 --> 00:07:00,917
as you're ready, as feels good.

137
00:07:02,166 --> 00:07:04,000
Staying really
present with your experience,

138
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,708
whatever it may be.

139
00:07:09,542 --> 00:07:11,500
Create more awareness.

140
00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:14,250
Cool, take a deep breath in.

141
00:07:15,125 --> 00:07:17,291
Exhale, release.

142
00:07:17,291 --> 00:07:19,542
And slowly bring
everything back to center,

143
00:07:19,667 --> 00:07:21,542
palms together at the heart.

144
00:07:21,542 --> 00:07:24,083
Inhale in, check it out.

145
00:07:24,083 --> 00:07:26,083
Exhale out through the mouth,
cleansing breath.

146
00:07:27,583 --> 00:07:29,667
Inhale in through the nose.

147
00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:31,542
Come on now, don't be shy.
Exhale out the the mouth.

148
00:07:31,542 --> 00:07:32,917
Let something go.

149
00:07:33,917 --> 00:07:35,917
And one more as if you
were fogging up a window

150
00:07:35,917 --> 00:07:37,542
as you breathe out.
Inhale.

151
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:39,500
Exhale.

152
00:07:43,750 --> 00:07:46,166
Good, from here we're
gonna come on to our knees.

153
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:47,291
If coming on to the knees

154
00:07:47,291 --> 00:07:49,708
is not suitable for you,
you can modify

155
00:07:49,708 --> 00:07:52,250
or you can use a little blanky

156
00:07:52,250 --> 00:07:54,500
by bringing it
underneath the knees.

157
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:55,959
I think the
modification for this

158
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:57,959
is to just stay
in cross-legged seat.

159
00:07:59,125 --> 00:08:00,667
But you can explore.

160
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:05,125
Wow, I hope my
mic picked that up

161
00:08:05,125 --> 00:08:08,041
'cause Benji was doing
like a throat chakra. (huffs)

162
00:08:08,041 --> 00:08:09,792
cleansing breath.

163
00:08:09,792 --> 00:08:11,000
He's so in tune.

164
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,041
Okay.

165
00:08:12,041 --> 00:08:15,083
So from the knees, we're gonna
inhale in, lift the chest. 

166
00:08:15,083 --> 00:08:18,333
Exhale, slowly slide
your hips over to

167
00:08:18,333 --> 00:08:22,000
your left side so your
toes are towards each other

168
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
or together on your right.

169
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,208
Fingertips are gonna
come down at your side.

170
00:08:26,208 --> 00:08:29,917
Inhale, lift the left
arm all the way up to start.

171
00:08:29,917 --> 00:08:31,708
Reach reach
reach towards the sky.

172
00:08:31,708 --> 00:08:35,417
Feel that lengthening
from your left waist line.

173
00:08:35,417 --> 00:08:37,291
And then take it
all the way over.

174
00:08:38,125 --> 00:08:39,291
Tuck the chin slightly.

175
00:08:39,291 --> 00:08:40,792
Lengthen through
the back of the neck.

176
00:08:40,792 --> 00:08:43,625
Feel that long deep
stretch in the left side body.

177
00:08:44,375 --> 00:08:47,625
Inhale to look up
towards your left fingertips.

178
00:08:47,625 --> 00:08:49,375
Opening up through the throat.

179
00:08:49,375 --> 00:08:52,041
And then exhale to
slowly bring everything back.

180
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:55,000
Come to center and
take it to the other side.

181
00:08:57,750 --> 00:09:01,083
First, we reach straight up,
right arm all the way up.

182
00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:03,375
Think about reaching
up from your left,

183
00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:06,625
right waistline from
your right waist band.

184
00:09:06,625 --> 00:09:08,375
So up first, inhale.

185
00:09:08,375 --> 00:09:10,000
Exhale, hug the ribs in.

186
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,458
Find your tilt.

187
00:09:13,792 --> 00:09:15,458
Pull the right thumb back.

188
00:09:15,458 --> 00:09:16,583
Breathe deep here.

189
00:09:16,583 --> 00:09:19,667
Feel that stretch as you
breathe in, that expansion.

190
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,083
Hug the low ribs
in as you breathe out.

191
00:09:24,667 --> 00:09:27,417
Last moment here, inhale
carve a line with the nose

192
00:09:27,417 --> 00:09:29,000
to look up towards
your right fingertips,

193
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,834
opening up through the throat.

194
00:09:30,834 --> 00:09:33,417
And then exhale to
release everything,

195
00:09:33,417 --> 00:09:36,083
bring it back through center.

196
00:09:36,083 --> 00:09:37,125
Awesome.

197
00:09:37,125 --> 00:09:38,834
Interlace the fingertips now.

198
00:09:38,834 --> 00:09:41,291
Palms face up.

199
00:09:41,291 --> 00:09:43,458
Then loop the shoulders,
sit up nice and tall.

200
00:09:43,458 --> 00:09:46,291
Bring the thumbs together.
Little Mudra here.

201
00:09:46,291 --> 00:09:48,959
So you're creating a
little hammock with your hands,

202
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:50,208
with your palms.

203
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:53,000
And then
thumbprints come to kiss.

204
00:09:54,375 --> 00:09:55,667
Close your eyes.

205
00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:58,000
Make a wish.
Just kidding.

206
00:09:58,792 --> 00:10:00,000
Close your eyes.

207
00:10:02,041 --> 00:10:04,834
And again, you can
repeat the mantra,

208
00:10:04,834 --> 00:10:06,625
the affirmation quietly.

209
00:10:06,625 --> 00:10:10,000
This time maybe
adding in I choose.

210
00:10:11,333 --> 00:10:14,500
I choose to speak my truth,

211
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,000
openly and freely.

212
00:10:20,792 --> 00:10:23,917
Quietly repeat to yourself,
or whisper to yourself.

213
00:10:23,917 --> 00:10:27,792
I choose to speak my truth,

214
00:10:27,792 --> 00:10:29,333
openly and freely.

215
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:37,458
Sweet. Drop the
chin to the chest.

216
00:10:37,458 --> 00:10:40,458
Release the Mudra,
open your eyes.

217
00:10:40,458 --> 00:10:41,500
Rock and roll.

218
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:43,333
No let's come
forward to all fours.

219
00:10:43,333 --> 00:10:44,333
Take your time.

220
00:10:47,792 --> 00:10:49,125
Tabletop Position.

221
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,583
Inhale, drop the belly,
open the chest.

222
00:10:51,583 --> 00:10:53,875
Open your heart forward.
Open the throat.

223
00:10:54,792 --> 00:10:58,041
Exhale with your breath,
round through chin to chest.

224
00:10:58,041 --> 00:11:01,917
Contract navel to spine,
chin to heart center.

225
00:11:03,083 --> 00:11:05,083
Inhale, open the heart.

226
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:07,542
Open the throat,
look forward breathe in.

227
00:11:08,458 --> 00:11:12,000
Exhale, press into your
foundation, chin to chest.

228
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,417
Find that lock.

229
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:17,250
One more with the sound
of your breath, go for it.

230
00:11:26,583 --> 00:11:30,291
Good, then on your next inhale,
come back to neutral spine.

231
00:11:30,291 --> 00:11:32,542
Drop those elbows
exactly where the hands were.

232
00:11:32,542 --> 00:11:34,667
Try to keep your
forearms parallel.

233
00:11:34,667 --> 00:11:35,750
So your elbows are gonna wanna

234
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:38,875
come out here most
likely with tight shoulders,

235
00:11:38,875 --> 00:11:42,000
so keep the elbows right
underneath the shoulders.

236
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Keep the forearms parallel.

237
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,542
Pet your puppy dog,
or your pet if you have one.

238
00:11:47,542 --> 00:11:49,250
Aww.

239
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:52,708
Then reestablish
your foundation, (laughs)

240
00:11:52,708 --> 00:11:55,917
bring your gaze back
down after looking at Benji.

241
00:11:57,125 --> 00:11:58,291
And let's walk it back.

242
00:11:58,291 --> 00:12:00,291
Keep the forearms planted.

243
00:12:00,291 --> 00:12:01,750
Pin the elbows down.

244
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:03,750
Spread the fingertips evenly.

245
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:05,834
Slowly release the heart,

246
00:12:05,834 --> 00:12:08,375
the throat, the forehead
towards the earth.

247
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:10,166
Big heart opener here.

248
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:11,417
Opening up
through the shoulders.

249
00:12:11,417 --> 00:12:12,834
It's gonna be a little sticky.

250
00:12:12,834 --> 00:12:16,708
But keep your elbows planted
in line with your shoulders.

251
00:12:18,417 --> 00:12:20,500
Then send the tailbone up.

252
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:23,375
Create a little
slide with the spine.

253
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:25,875
Let the low ribs hang down.

254
00:12:27,125 --> 00:12:30,166
Anahatasana,
Heart to Earth pose.

255
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:32,542
You can ticktock the
hips a little left to right.

256
00:12:32,542 --> 00:12:36,166
Try to keep your
fingertips firmly connected,

257
00:12:36,166 --> 00:12:38,333
planted to the earth
so lots of awareness

258
00:12:38,333 --> 00:12:39,750
in your foundation here.

259
00:12:43,417 --> 00:12:45,583
Pressing the tops of the feet,
carve a line with the nose.

260
00:12:45,583 --> 00:12:47,959
Slide on into home.

261
00:12:47,959 --> 00:12:50,583
Sphinx Pose, tuck the
chin first to start here.

262
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:52,000
Press into your pubic bone.

263
00:12:53,208 --> 00:12:55,291
Then inhale, slowly
carve a line with the nose

264
00:12:55,291 --> 00:12:57,375
to look forward.

265
00:12:57,375 --> 00:12:59,250
Inhale in here.

266
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:01,333
Exhale.

267
00:13:03,834 --> 00:13:06,667
Again inhale in
through the nose.

268
00:13:06,667 --> 00:13:08,917
And this time as you
exhale out through the mouth

269
00:13:08,917 --> 00:13:11,083
with sound,
press into your elbows.

270
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:12,458
Grow a little taller.

271
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:15,834
And one more.
You got this.

272
00:13:15,834 --> 00:13:17,500
Notice what's happening
in the abdominal walls

273
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:18,917
as you breathe out with sound.

274
00:13:18,917 --> 00:13:20,000
Inhale.

275
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:23,625
Exhale, reestablish that
connection through the elbows.

276
00:13:23,625 --> 00:13:24,959
Grow taller.

277
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:32,041
Good, send your gaze
past your right shoulder.

278
00:13:32,041 --> 00:13:33,000
Come to your center,

279
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,375
send your gaze
past your left shoulder.

280
00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:35,166
What's up?

281
00:13:36,208 --> 00:13:38,083
And then slowly back to center.

282
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:39,000
Tuck the chin.

283
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,041
Find that chin lock, broaden
through the back of the neck.

284
00:13:42,041 --> 00:13:44,458
Curl the toes under, inhale in.

285
00:13:44,458 --> 00:13:49,000
Exhale, lift the hips, reach
the heels back, Forearm Plank.

286
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Tuck the chin,
press into the palms,

287
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,166
fingerprints firmly planted.

288
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:56,708
Find that hollow body here.

289
00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:59,000
Imagine your
placing the little teacup

290
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,917
on the back of the neck.

291
00:13:59,917 --> 00:14:04,250
So there's a straight line
from the throat to the crown.

292
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:07,625
Three, two, on the one,
slowly lower the knees.

293
00:14:07,625 --> 00:14:10,959
Go back through that Puppy
Posture, walk the knees back.

294
00:14:12,166 --> 00:14:14,500
So you can stay here today,
Puppy Posture

295
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:18,041
or inhale in,
exhale, hug the low ribs in.

296
00:14:18,041 --> 00:14:20,250
Lift one elbow then the other.

297
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:23,667
Curl the toes under and send
your hips up high and back,

298
00:14:23,667 --> 00:14:25,500
Downward Facing Dog.

299
00:14:27,291 --> 00:14:30,083
To start here, you can
find a little movement.

300
00:14:30,083 --> 00:14:32,583
Make sure the base
is nice and wide here.

301
00:14:32,583 --> 00:14:34,417
So walk your hands out.

302
00:14:34,417 --> 00:14:35,750
Spread the fingers evenly.

303
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:38,000
Index fingers
are pointing forward.

304
00:14:39,834 --> 00:14:42,375
Great, biceps by the ears.

305
00:14:42,375 --> 00:14:44,000
And after you've
take a couple of moments

306
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,166
to find some soft easy
movement, find stillness here.

307
00:14:52,875 --> 00:14:54,959
Return to the
sound of your breath.

308
00:14:56,375 --> 00:14:57,542
Inhale in.

309
00:14:59,041 --> 00:15:00,208
Exhale out.

310
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,375
Inhale in again.

311
00:15:03,375 --> 00:15:06,458
Exhale, slowly come
back down to the knees.

312
00:15:07,208 --> 00:15:08,834
Walk the knees back.

313
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:11,125
Bring them together.

314
00:15:11,125 --> 00:15:13,458
Slow and steady,
come to the belly.

315
00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:15,750
Zip the legs up tight.

316
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:18,417
Interlace the
fingertips behind your tail,

317
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:21,333
tuck the chin as you draw
the shoulder blades together.

318
00:15:22,291 --> 00:15:25,625
Inhale in. Exhale,
press into your foundation

319
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:27,500
to slowly send
your gaze forward.

320
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,250
No need to crunch here.

321
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,792
Great.

322
00:15:31,792 --> 00:15:34,000
Reestablish connection
through the pubic bone,

323
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,750
tops of the feet, inhale in.

324
00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:38,000
Exhale, maybe
lift a little higher.

325
00:15:40,458 --> 00:15:41,542
Inhale in.

326
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:46,250
Exhale slowly release, hands
come underneath the shoulders.

327
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:48,000
We're gonna curl the toes under.

328
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Press up to all fours or Plank.

329
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,500
Yogi's choice.

330
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:53,500
Deep breath in here.

331
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,542
Long breath out.

332
00:15:55,542 --> 00:15:57,667
Slowly lower to the knees.

333
00:15:57,667 --> 00:16:01,375
Tuck the chin into the chest,
just like Cat Pose.

334
00:16:01,375 --> 00:16:02,792
Press into the tops of the feet

335
00:16:02,792 --> 00:16:04,000
(clears throat) excuse me.

336
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,834
And slowly roll it up.

337
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:09,792
Great, hands come
to the waistline here.

338
00:16:09,792 --> 00:16:12,166
Head over heart,
heart over pelvis.

339
00:16:12,166 --> 00:16:13,458
Inhale in.

340
00:16:13,458 --> 00:16:15,708
Exhale, press into
the tops of the feet.

341
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,625
Send your tailbone
down towards the ground,

342
00:16:17,625 --> 00:16:19,000
lean back just a bit.

343
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,875
Start to open your heart
space up towards the sky.

344
00:16:21,875 --> 00:16:23,583
Hug the elbows
into the side body.

345
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:26,417
Draw the shoulder
blades together.

346
00:16:26,417 --> 00:16:29,625
Little Camel variation,
nothing crazy.

347
00:16:29,625 --> 00:16:33,000
If you wanna do Camel,
it's in your body, you can.

348
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,708
But, perhaps you're not
that warmed up for Camel,

349
00:16:36,708 --> 00:16:39,333
in my opinion,
so just keep it chill.

350
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:40,458
Great.

351
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:43,000
Lift the heart, lift the chin.

352
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,500
Crown of the head is
lengthening, not collapsing.

353
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:47,333
Awesome work.

354
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:51,458
Slowly bring it back by
connect to your core to center.

355
00:16:51,458 --> 00:16:53,667
And then slowly we'll
sit back onto the heels.

356
00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:55,834
Just find an
upright spine here to start.

357
00:16:55,834 --> 00:16:57,875
Head over heart,
heart over pelvis.

358
00:16:57,875 --> 00:17:00,875
And lining from
the root to the crown.

359
00:17:03,166 --> 00:17:04,208
Excellent.

360
00:17:04,208 --> 00:17:05,875
From here, we're
gonna use the hands.

361
00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:06,875
You're gonna
come onto the hands.

362
00:17:06,875 --> 00:17:09,708
Bring the two big toes together.
Knees nice and wide.

363
00:17:09,708 --> 00:17:12,834
Dial the hands,
excuse me, the left fingers

364
00:17:12,834 --> 00:17:15,375
around and back
towards your body.

365
00:17:15,375 --> 00:17:18,875
Right fingers around
and back towards your body.

366
00:17:18,875 --> 00:17:21,500
Walk the hands back
as you feel comfortable.

367
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:24,000
Lion's Breath.

368
00:17:24,917 --> 00:17:27,875
Inhale in through the nose.

369
00:17:27,875 --> 00:17:31,166
Exhale, tongue out gaze you
up towards your third eye.

370
00:17:33,417 --> 00:17:36,083
Two more, you got this.
Don't be shy, inhale.

371
00:17:37,291 --> 00:17:39,000
Exhale, Lion's Breath.

372
00:17:41,458 --> 00:17:43,125
And really go for this next one.

373
00:17:43,125 --> 00:17:44,250
Why not?
What have you got to lose?

374
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:46,083
See what happens, inhale.

375
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:48,333
Exhale.

376
00:17:50,917 --> 00:17:52,792
Good, gently come forward.

377
00:17:52,792 --> 00:17:55,834
Release the hands,
bring them all the way forward.

378
00:17:55,834 --> 00:17:57,708
Extended Child's Pose.

379
00:17:57,708 --> 00:17:59,083
Forehead comes to the earth.

380
00:18:00,750 --> 00:18:02,750
Rest your sweet heart,
close your eyes,

381
00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:05,000
soften your jaw,
part the lips.

382
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
We'll take five final
relaxing breaths here.

383
00:18:13,291 --> 00:18:15,083
Pay attention to
that moment between

384
00:18:15,083 --> 00:18:17,458
the inhale and the exhale.

385
00:18:17,458 --> 00:18:19,375
Imagine you're
coming in to your own

386
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:21,083
private little love cave here

387
00:18:22,291 --> 00:18:26,000
to soothe any aches,

388
00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:29,625
to calm any anxiety,

389
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:33,500
and to welcome
your energetic body,

390
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:36,458
your energetic
channels to clear.

391
00:18:38,542 --> 00:18:41,917
So that you can feel good,
because when you feel good,

392
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:45,959
you attract 

393
00:18:47,333 --> 00:18:50,500
all that you need
and you equip yourself

394
00:18:53,208 --> 00:18:58,166
with the tools to provide
for others, serve others.

395
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:04,834
Find that
meaningful contribution

396
00:19:06,417 --> 00:19:09,500
to society,
whatever it is for you.

397
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:11,834
Getting your
energy right is key.

398
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:15,542
A couple more quiet breaths.

399
00:19:33,583 --> 00:19:35,208
Relax the jaw again,

400
00:19:36,625 --> 00:19:39,208
and slowly start to
massage the forehead.

401
00:19:42,542 --> 00:19:47,333
Connecting the heart to
the throat to the third eye.

402
00:19:50,458 --> 00:19:53,750
Then when you're ready, smile,
take a deep breath in.

403
00:19:55,125 --> 00:19:57,750
As you exhale,
slowly rise back up.

404
00:20:01,458 --> 00:20:04,417
Come to a nice
comfortable seat of your choice.

405
00:20:06,417 --> 00:20:09,375
And bring your fingertips to
the tops of your shoulders.

406
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:12,291
Smile, sit up tall.

407
00:20:12,291 --> 00:20:14,458
Lift the elbows, inhale in.

408
00:20:14,458 --> 00:20:16,375
Exhale twist to one side.

409
00:20:16,375 --> 00:20:18,458
And you're just gonna
go back and forth here.

410
00:20:18,458 --> 00:20:20,000
Just bringing little energy

411
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,834
stimulating through
the mid back all the way up

412
00:20:22,834 --> 00:20:25,667
through the throat, all
the way up to the crown.

413
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:28,125
Low body's nice and heavy,
nice and grounded.

414
00:20:29,291 --> 00:20:30,708
Breathing deep.

415
00:20:31,959 --> 00:20:34,250
Back and forth.
Ooh, I can feel it.

416
00:20:39,875 --> 00:20:41,959
Alright and
then we'll release it

417
00:20:41,959 --> 00:20:45,333
by bringing the palms
to the knees or the thighs.

418
00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:47,542
Just take a second
to notice how you feel.

419
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,667
If you like that, you
can do it a little bit longer

420
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:52,458
after this video.

421
00:20:52,458 --> 00:20:54,333
It's a great way to
kinda get the juices flowing.

422
00:20:56,291 --> 00:20:58,000
Hmm.

423
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,542
Alright bring
the palms together.

424
00:21:00,542 --> 00:21:04,208
Lift your sternum
to your thumbs,

425
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:07,458
and we'll seal this deal

426
00:21:07,458 --> 00:21:09,542
by saying, what
are we gonna say Benji?

427
00:21:11,333 --> 00:21:13,000
He said, "Namaste."

428
00:21:14,083 --> 00:21:15,792
Thanks everyone.

429
00:21:17,792 --> 00:21:21,208
(upbeat music)
