what's up everyone welcome to yoga with Adriene I am Adriene and today we are going to release unwanted toxic gas from our system digestive system that is with wind-relieving pose not joking that is what it's called Pavano Mukta sana I think in Sanskrit still working on those wind-relieving pose head to knee pose such a great pose to massage the abdominal wall to relieve bloating that's good also really great for the lower back so this is our foundational pose of the day hop on the mat and let's let it all out right so we're going to begin lying flat on the bat today just take a second to tuck the chin into the chest find a little length in the back of the neck soles of the feet can come to the mat here at first knees pointing up towards the sky take your hands to your belly and we're just going to sneak in a nice deep yummy conscious breath here expanding through the ribcage as you breathe in and letting the belly fall as you breathe out cool now we're going to take the right leg extend it high up into the sky so if the hammies are tight which most of our hammies are I've stretched out today don't worry about you know straightening that leg just send that foot up to the sky then we're going to slowly reach the fingertips up interlace the fingertips bend the right knee as you catch that chin or the top of the knee and squeeze the right knee up towards the heart cool step one relax the shoulders keep the chest open and the neck long cool so we're going to take a deep breath in here and then slowly we'll begin to extend through that left leg so you can slide the left heel on the ground extending long through the left leg and then we find a little resistance our little opposition here as we squeeze the right knee in and up towards the heart and find a little grounding down through the left thigh in fact you can take your left palm to the top of the left thigh bone for a second here and just firm the top of that left thigh bone down notice how flexing through the left foot left toes pointing up towards the sky a little squeeze in here and as always find a little bit of movement so you might rock that right knee from the shoulder to the heart you might rotate might get little bang for your buck here and rotate the right ankle one way and then the other and then we started learning this foundational pose with a nice deep breath in so breathe in fill the belly massaging the internal organs now you can stay here and its belly is you know a little bit large or the chest is nice and big then no toxic thoughts guys just be here now okay it's so important to just be in your body and do your version of the post so you might be here might be here or anywhere in between and you might just stay here breathing deep checking it out finding that opposition or you might take it one step further inhale in and on an exhale keep extension through the crown of the head as you slowly lift the nose up towards the knee so the nose can touch the knee but really it's not about that that's the intention so again if you have a larger chest rock on just embrace that let that intention be nose to knee not actually literal nose to knee most of us naturally are here in the shoulders spread a little awareness out through the whole body as we breathe in here no tension in the neck I'm keeping extension through the crown again relaxing the shoulders down take one more breath in here find a little movement if that feels good and then on an exhale with control with grace slowly release back down and then we're going to hug both knees into the chest wind-relieving pose the joys of doing a home practice you can fart all day long oh yeah so rock a little side to side squeeze both knees into the chest if you feel any pinch or you know tightness a little cramp in the size or the Front's of the hip creases take your thumb in there dig it out you can already tell this episodes we have butt jokes written all over it okay hmm point and flex the feet here then find a little stillness when you're satisfied squeeze the knees into the chest relax the shoulders down and away from the ears again we could be here we could be here and we might just stay here breathing into the belly squeezing the tops of the thighs into the lower belly or on an yeah we'll extend through the crown energetically and on an exhale slowly again begin to peel it up nose to the center of the knees again that's just an intention so if you can get here awesome good for you or maybe we're here or here or here breathing relaxing shoulders down and away you can point the toes here flex the feet or keep them soft but just I think the point is to just have a little awareness one more breath as we breathe into the lower belly breathe into your butthole and then on an exhale slowly release I have been known to say that in class I've also heard that in class just do it just try it okay here we go taking it to the other side we hug now left knee into the chest extend the right leg out long check it out on the other side again finding a little opposition you might take your right palm to the top of that right thigh bone firm it down smooth it out consciousness on the right foot there relaxing the shoulders down neck nice and long three I can hear the wind chimes outside my house today it's beautiful rock a little side to side if that feels good nice long smooth deep breaths see if you can elongate the inhale and extend that exhale cool we might just stay here breathing we might take it a step further as you inhale extend energetically through the crown through the sole of the foot nice long extension and on an exhale peel it up draw the navel down finding gentle compression to the lower belly as we squeeze and intend nose to knee just the intention could be here could be here no tension in the neck soft face breathe deep cool let's take one more breath and on an exhale with control with grace we release back down cool send the left foot out long and we'll just take a full body stretch here to counteract everything inhale lower back might come up off the ground here you might find a little wiggle waggle in the hip points you know this this is about letting it go so just let it go here for a couple breaths and we're done alrighty so that was wind relieving pose this pose is funny and kind of ridiculous but really good when you think about it just kind of letting out that which no longer serves you whether that's gas in your belly or just energy your emotions that you're carrying that yeah are no longer serving you let it go I'm going to talk a little bit more about how yoga can help release these sort of things I just don't want any fart jokes like that's all I want to do right now but I'm not going to I'm going to do that on the blog with pictures and sounds maybe I don't know hop on over to the blog yoga daydream calm leave questions comments below as always tend to your body work from the inside out listen to
