hey gorgeous people and welcome to the 30 days of yoga camp it's day 21 and the mantra is I believe let's hop to all right let's begin in a nice comfy seat today come on to your bum and then bring one foot in and we're going to do a little half Lotus what's up 21 going to do half Lotus so we're just going to experiment of course bringing one foot over no full Lotus I mean if you got it going on go for it but I find that a lot of knee injuries come from people trying to pretzel their way into that full Lotus so let's just try it one foot in front of the other excuse me one foot on top of the other leg if that's a no-go then just bring one foot in front of the other okay just playing today ah welcome welcome bring the palms together give yourself a little rub here like so and settling in so we're creating a little heat here in the palm little heat friction check out your arm muscles how's it going day 21 we're doing awesome and then bring your hands to your heart close your eyes sit up nice and tall big breath in big breath out relax your shoulders big breath in big breath out soften the skin of the face and one more time big breath in arrive here on your mat right here right now here we go the mantra today is I believe and I am having a little fun today because it's day 21 I feel like we need it but I also think that it's only esoteric and wacky if you make it that way find something so take take charge here find something that works for you what do you choose to believe in right now I believe I can get through this whole video without stopping it I believe I can get through this whole yoga camp without something I believe that I can take my time and do 30 days of yoga and 360 days so what how do you want to finish maybe there's something particular something pertinent to your life right now something that's so beautifully unique to you that will allow you to finish the sentence I believe so this is about connecting to the things that you want to infuse a little good energy into little faith little love so with the hands here on the heart close your eyes again and say I believe and finish that sentence if you like and if not just notice how that resonates with you or not and again repeat yourself I believe once you've dropped that pin just connected to your thoughts and to the mantra will bow the head to the heart and then blossom open here we go pressing into the earth reach the fingertips up this is like you're opening your shell and then fingertips come back and they walk themselves way back here and maybe pinkies even together so everyone will be different here I can walk my pinkies back a little quite a ways here that feels good lifting up through the armpit chest drop your chin to your chest sorry breathe and then gently release one arm at a time and we'll take whatever leg is on top or in front and do a little switcheroo just to play on the other side great inhale reach the arms all the way up and overhead exhale tilt to the rights and your left fingertips and do a side body stretch and you'll reach all the way up and exhale tilt to the left and your right fingertips into a side bolt a stretch and then inhale all the way up you're going to exhale rain it down once again walking the fingertips behind maybe you walk the pinkies together lift up through the armpit chest open your heart and drop the chin down and then one arm at a time we bend at the elbows we come forward inhale squeeze the shoulders up to the ears exhale drop them down inhale squeeze and lift exhale dropping down checking with the head the neck the shoulders inhale reach squeeze mmm and exhale sorry feel good and drop it down I like how on day one I'm like really reserved and my day 21 I'm like mm-hmm it's like that scene in planes trains and automobiles where John Candy's massaging his feet on the plane anyway right arm over the left arm we come to kind of a crossroads here so tempting at the elbows and then we're going to lift the fingertips up like hi-yah okay and then from here you might wrap the wrist and it you go arms you might not lift the elbows so you could just be here lifting lifting lifting lifting the elbows Eagle arms look the elbows and then gently release so we're going to unfold this today so that no no need to rush this thing with the shoulders crossing now left arm over the right elbows cross fingertips up and then you can stay here I like actually to stay here sometimes we crank ourselves in here in the night I kind of feel like we miss out on some other opening so maybe everyone for this time just keep the elbows kissing and reach the fingertips up reach the elbows up read read reach and then exhale release awesome let's dive forward onto all fours if you're in half Lotus unravel first and we'll take it away come to your tabletop position so a little cat-cow variation today I'm going to press them the tops of the feet I'm going to walk the palms just a little bit further out than normal and here I go I'm going to loop the shoulders drop the belly inhale so the same action as we usually do but on the exhale I'm going to start at the tailbone round the spine and send it all the way back to an extended Child's Pose okay looping the shoulders we press into the feet press into the palms inhale scoop the belly come forward and then exhale rounding through tailbone tucks we are through the spine and send it back it takes a while to find a little softness a little rhythm here but you'll find it looping the shoulders inhale sliding through belly front body stretching and
