hey everyone and welcome to 30 days of yoga camp it's day 20 y'all ten more days yoga camp bliss the mantra today is I am worthy this is a good one so get into something comfy and let's get started ok today we're going to begin in a seat I'm coming to a hero variation with my blog so if you have a block use it if you don't have a block we have a big thick book you might pause the video right now and go grab it and I'm going to sit on the block or the book knees bent toes pointing back either in line with the hips so I'm going to give you time to get settled in here again you can pause the video if you need more time and this is where we'll begin if you're not feeling this then you'll start in a cross-legged seat so first bring the knees hip width apart here as you get settled in and then you might find that no prob you can bring the knees together then we're going to bring the right hand on top of the left so palms face up right hand on top and then begin to sit up nice and tall pressing into the tops of the feet pressing into the toes and find in that length up through the center channel the body so beginning today with a little alternate nostril breathing so yummy so nice so just taking a second to get settled in and noticing your breath noticing where your mind is where your thoughts are maybe you've had a tough time getting to the mat today or maybe you've been waiting for your practice for quite some time either way here we are now drop the pin down and we're going to keep the left hand where it is reach the right arm up right hand up so we can bring the three middle fingers in for a little hang loose here hang loose or you can use if you have smaller hands you can just bring the two peace fingers in to use the ring finger and thumb and then what the heck you have really small hands sometimes it's nice to use the middle finger and thumb so pick a finger you can experiment and read use the thumb to bring right up to the right nostril plug the right nostril inhale deep breath in through the left nostril sit up nice and tall and pause at the top retain the breath and take your extra finger whichever one you choose to seal the left nostril exhale out through the right nostril now just as you begin to settle in and get focus if this is new to you just take your time you'll get it so here we go we inhale in through the right nostril this time and we pause retain the breath we seal the right nostril and alternate exhale out through the left inhale in through the left pause retain seal and switch at the top exhale through the right inhale through the right pause retain switch and seal at the top and exhale through the left so every time you're exhaling you're inhaling through that same nostril and every time you reach at the top you're switching and alternating so let's see if we can get in a little groove here we're not going to be here long if you want there is a video for alternate nostril breathing so you can check that out and get the whole intro and the foundations and stuff here you sealing the right nostril we begin with the big exhale excuse me a big inhale through the left seal and switch exhale through the right give you a second to get caught up here ready inhaling in through the right seal and switch exhale through the left and he'll see you and switch exhale out the right big inhale seal and switch exhale out through the left and now pass it on to you keep it going see if you can extend the inhale and extend the exhale and even it out here my friends you and once you've evened it out gently release the right hand to rest with the left and take a deep breath in both nostrils and exhale both nostrils out again just like that full breath okay now we'll bring the hands just as they are right hand in front of left bring them right to your heart center see if we can lift your heart space whatever that means to you up to your hands keep breathing deep notice any effects of the pranayama nadi shodhana alternate nostril breathing super powerful breath so just getting a little taste of it here today is to help us drop into our mantra and make it count noticing how you feel continue to lift the heart space up to your hands and press the hands into your heart maybe fill it emotion here just notice keep breathing feel the warmth in your right palm and then close your eyes in the mantra today we repeat to ourselves or say it quietly to yourself or say it loudly I am worthy and say it again I am worthy and one more time to yourself or be brave say it out loud I am worthy and notice how you feel believe it know it take a deep breath in feel it exhale out release the fingertips and nice and easy inhale all the way up and overhead exhale gentle twist to the left here keep pressing into the tops of the toes inhale reach to Center and until twist to the right inhale the center and exhale coming forward off the block or the book coming to all fours you can take your block and put it towards the back corner of your mat for later and we'll come to all fours taking a second to just work out any kinks in the body so starting with cat cow synchronizing with the breath and then veering off the railroad tracks whenever you're ready shaking the hips side to side or just on the knees so maybe extending one leg out then the other listening to your body checking with the hands the feet it's a little freestyle here coming into your body maybe you had quite an experience with the pranayama or just by saying the words I am worthy out loud I have to admit I felt something there more on that later inhale and exhale great we're going to come all the way onto the belly now my friends make your way there in your own time palms underneath the shoulders toes heels hip-width apart loop the shoulders inhale lift the head the neck the shoulders but keep the chin tucking in today as you press into the tops of the feet and then nice and easy we're going to slowly open the palms just so you make sure you're not muscling here now try to draw your elbows back so that there's lots of space between the ears and shoulders here breathe in release the palms breathe out great breathe in again open your heart and exhale softly release great send the fingertips out left to right lift the center of the palms now check it out I'm going to bend my right knee so my right toes are coming up towards the sky this is kind of hard to do on the video but I'm doing it anyway then inhale in exhale take your right toes drawl it all the way over to the left my reboot friends will remember this from reboot or know this from reboot ok maybe the right foot comes on to the earth here maybe not be super duper mindful of your left shoulder here so maybe release on the palm if you come off it a little bit so I'm supporting myself with my right fingertips here breathing deep and then slowly I'll melt it back to Center nice and slow slow as you can go sending the right fingertips out long bending the left knee lift the left toes up try not to get frustrated if your brain is doing a little weird thing it's okay it's normal and then take the left toes over towards the right takes time sometimes what comes to the ground right left fingertips support the earth and you might extend the right fingertips now down to the ground take a deep breath in and then slowly will unravel back yep press into the air come back to all fours great press away from your yoga mat come to nice stacked bones here and then from here I'm going to slowly press into the top of the left foot lift the right toes up towards the sky so that the right thigh bone is parallel to the earth or at least it feels like that then draw the lower belly in and breathe here stay here or begin to rotate the right ankle one way and then the other and then when you're ready shift your weight to your right hand nice and slow and send the left fingertips maybe to grab the top of the right toes maybe you made it that far if so begin to draw a line with the right toes up towards the sky press into your foundation inhale open through the heart lift your right toes and then exhale release back to all fours rotate the right wrist a little if you knee and then pressing into the top of the right foot bend left knee or keep the left knee bent and lift the left toes up in your mind's eye see your right quad right excuse me what are we saying left quad sorry parallel to the earth stay here or rotate that ankle one way and then the other and feel free to stay here hugging the lower ribs in I have this comfy sweater on today but really drawing the front body up and in and maybe we reach the right fingertips around to grab the toes if you made it that far see what happens if you draw a line with your right left toes all the way up towards the sky opening up through the right armpit chest big breath in here just playing and then exhale with control release awesome send it back Child's Pose those knees together hips back connect to your breath inhaling fill with air see if you can feel the skin of the back body stretching is you take such a big breath in and such a big breath out then reach the fingertips forward and pressing into the tops of the feet once again we'll slide all the way onto the belly pressing into the elbows pressing into the base of the palms we find a little Sphinx pose here pressing into the tops of the feet so I can come here nice with a little bit of ease now but I remember we first come into Sphinx you can get really kind of caught here so press into your elbows draw the shoulder blades in together and down it might just be here might not be that tall we're going for a nice right angle elbow underneath the shoulder wrist in line with the elbow take one more breath wherever you are then exhale release palm stack you rest the forehead on the palms excuse me so with this little palm pillow here close your eyes and repeat the mantra to yourself I am worthy say it I'm worthy you are dudes we are all worthy and you might take a second here to just think about finishing that sentence maybe it's just fine how it is it feels good then pressing into the tops of the feet we'll send the fingertips out long excuse me out left or right tenth the palms which into the earth great turning on to the left ear now nice and slow obviously I've to watch the video so I'll move nice and slow so you can catch up going where we were before this time adding on right toes lift towards the sky bend your right knee and slowly drawing a line with your right toes towards the left side of your mat this time you might bring the sole the right foot to the earth you might bring fingertips Ahmet or we might reach around this time grab either the tops of the toes or the inner arch so super important to stay connected to your foundation here anchor through that left leg breathe here as you kick the right foot in to the right hand this is a very sensitive posture so if you don't feel comfortable here at all you need to keep your right fingertips on the ground or even your right leg wherever you are take one more breath and then use an exhale to slowly unravel back to Center forehead to the mat or chin to the mat and same thing on the other side we bend the left fingertips we draw a line with the left toes over again well you might just stop here breathing breathing breathing breathe a lot here and then send the left fingertips maybe around to clasp either the left toes or the inner arch and we play here taking that left foot into the left hand breathing deep inhale in use an exhale to bring it back ravel then send the fingertips down for little locust variation here pressing the pubic bone into the earth turning the palms face down inhale in exhale begin to slowly lift reaching the fingertips actively back towards the back edge of your mat pulling the shoulders away from the ears should feel strong here pressing into the palms pressing into the lower body keep the chin nice and tucked so the back of the neck can be nice and long take two more breaths here let your breath move you literally and then we use an exhale to release Child's Pose make your way there nice and slow be kind to yourself knees together send the hips back stick with your breath I'm slowly reaching the arms all the way up we have one down one dog here today so find your best and most beautiful downward dog sending the hips up high maybe smiling a little bit here the mantra I am worthy comes in pedal it out find a moment of stillness align with your breath and bend the knees look forward hop through all the way or slow walk all the way to the front then cross the ankles and use your fingertips to come to a nice seat or you can hop all the way through great sit up nice and tall here palms on the knees and again whether you smile here literally or you just kind of tap into that inner smile close your eyes and relax the shoulders down the back body this notice how you feel a little meditation pose here drawing the shoulders down okay and send the legs out long and slowly begin to lower down center yourself on the mat I'll bring the knees up nice and slow soles of the feet to the mat so you're reclined one-legged pigeon today for the hips nice and easy finishing with the support of the earth on your spine here we go right leg lifts up we cross right ankle over the left interlace thread the needle squeeze the lower body up towards your heart and then Yogi's choice here you can press your left foot into an imaginary wall here squeeze or you can extend it up long getting that hamstring stretch here close your eyes neck nice and long relax the shoulders hmmm restoring the body checking in with the breath and checking your mind man it's it's pretty easy the self-loathing this feeling that maybe we must not be worth it if it's not happening and so today we take some extra time on on the ground here at the end to just acknowledge those thoughts and those feelings and then return back to the mantra I am worthy gently unravel switch to the other side don't give up there's something you've had your eye on your mind's eye on a dream a goal a desire a sensation I am worthy manifest my friends you are worthy so how can we expect to find support and faith from others if we don't have it for ourselves we can't find support from within and we don't have faith in ourselves I know it's difficult so that's why we're here I am totally worthy or as a friend of mine would say I'm totes worthy I'm gonna regret saying that okay gently unravel just play bring the knees in to touch your feet as wide as your yoga mat interlace the fingertips and send them wide extend the thumbs give yourself a massage crawl the shoulder blades down so Yogi's choice today you can stay here for the next beat calm blanketing yourself in love that you are worthy of so more restorative today or if you'd like to end with a little core we're going to send the legs up high keeping the arms elbows nice and wide so there's an option today you can stay here nice restorative or slowly bring the legs up here we go inhale in exhale lift lift your chin towards your ankles send your gaze up towards your toes not here nice and wide then baby pulses here baby baby pulses tables scooping up towards the sky baby pulses you got it look up towards the ceiling out baby pulses find that exhale with me and keep it going release the fingertips reach towards the outer edges of feet smile take it to the left this is our symbol pose here what's up to the right taking Simba up and over the cliff and one more time to each side you got it to the left last time to the right and slide back to Center the gentle gentle Tootsie Roll reference there if you were on the restorative please release the arms everyone bring your hands to your kneecaps and draw a big circles here massaging the sacrum and then allow your breath to just return back to a natural rhythm reversing and give yourself a big hug draw your nose up towards your knees gently release send the legs out long again to open up the arms left to right get comfy here so if you have a block if you have a block if you don't don't worry about it maybe grab a pillow maybe you grab comfy blanky maybe grab a stuffed animal maybe grab a pet and start to snuggle here we're going to take a nice loving moment together so if you have a block go ahead and bring it at the lowest height to be a little pillow here bring it right to the back of the neck so that back of the head excuse me so that the first ledge here kind of comes right to the base of the negative should feel awesome especially if you have a harder block but every every bunch of good and then just give it a gentle rock arms at your sides should feel awesome gentle rock back and forth again if you don't have the lock I really usually don't like to use a whole bunch of props on the videos I do in class but because I love the home practice you don't really need everything anything just your body your breath it's got a nice intention and boom boom town okay when you feel satisfied bring the head back to Center you can keep the block there's little pillow if you like or digit whenever you want say it loud and proud I am worthy again I am worthy and one more time you guys I am worthy hell to the yeah
