that I'm on my yoga mat finish the sentence I love and accept myself where I am today I'm like why can't it be like I love my new yoga pants they inspire me get on my mat like let's stop being so judgy make judgment about everything and just connect to what feels good and start connecting the mind of body to that yoga cab here we go inhale reach it up exhale will jog it out inhale lift exhale fold plant the palms step or hop it back and then here we go right hand to the centerline slowly tilting on to the sides of the feet once again another try at this guy as we lift the hips and you can either stack the feet here as you open the left fingertips up or feel free to bend the top leg for a little support here as you build strength now today we're going to take the left fingertips forward and then all the way up and overhead think extended side angle here lengthen through the crown so we're here with the top knee bent or maybe we're stacked here maybe another variation you love take one more breath imagine a fireball just shooting out of the crown of the head of your big breath and then exhale low slowly release take a rest on the knees if you need to and we'll take it to the other side play here stacking the feet again we can bend the top leg bring the sole of the right foot to the earth everyone lift your hips and then we'll send the right fingertips forward plug that shoulder in and then all the way up towards the front edge of the mat lengthen through the crown navel draws in big breath and then slowly release awesome optional vinyasa here otherwise slowly lower to the knees and send it back Child's Pose and slowly release the hands to the earth and it'll come back to all fours walk the knees hip-width apart or so right underneath the hip points actually press into the tops of the feet and then slowly we're going to walk the fingertips what's up crickety old floor all the way up the knees the thighs the hips so we're headed into a camel pose a back bend so pressing into strong foundation here you don't have to go into the full pose in fact be really mindful and if you know if you're new to the practice maybe just kind of start small and save the full expression for another day another year so we'll start just by looping the shoulders letting go of any tension in the head the neck and also giving yourself a chance to really engage through the tops of the feet so see if you can even press it to your pinky toe all hard then fingertips come to the shoulders again and big circles with the elbows great to open up the shoulders here but also to find that lift in the lengthen through the side body and then even bigger circles all out connecting to the line from the crown to the tail then on your next full-out move take the hands behind the back body first fingertips down try to draw the elbows together loop the shoulders and this might be your pose today lengthening the tailbone down finding a little lift in the front body maybe it's just a slight leaning back mmm this is good you can feel it if you feel like you'd like to go a little further take take your microphone put it to the side I'm just going to take your hands and flip your fingertips so that they're up so I'm going to turn so we're here and now I'm moving up so pressing into the base of the palm if you're making that switch they're lengthening the tailbone down as you begin to open up through the front body and here we are really using the palms here pressing into the tops of the feet opening up through the heart a chest this might be your pose here press into your thumbs hmmm or you might release the right fingertips down to the right heel one at a time left fingertips down to the left heel pressing into the tops of the feet opening up through the front body nice and aware in the neck as you inhale in exhale stay connected maybe you're familiar with camel and you are able to release crown of the head down hips move forward we breathe deep here to come out of the pose make your way back the same way you came in one hand at a time and slowly pressing into the tops of the feet stacking head over heart heart over pelvis here beautiful stay here curl the toes under and send the hips back onto the heels so come here before you go into Child's Pose palms can come to the tops of the thighs big breath in and out here and then we can walk the knees together come off the toes and come into our Child's Pose rad radical beautiful big breath in big breath out great slowly reach the fingertips up press into the palms we're gonna cross the ankles and come through to seated then all the way onto the back and then right into a reclined pigeon so take your time getting there crossing the right ankle over the left threading the needle you can do this on your own time you know what to do here you can rock a little side to side it relax the shoulders and enjoy this time on your mat we're almost done with our practice today so really relish with some nice yummy breaths here and then return to the mantra which is really what this whole yoga camp is about today is my goal to infuse a practice not just in the physical body but in the mind so that we can start loving ourselves again so we can make self-love cool again keep squeezing the legs up towards your heart now that might sound stupid to you and maybe it is stupid but I don't think so I think we need it I think that you'll go is a great place to practice that sort of thing so repeat the mantra I love myself and even if you don't feel it or don't believe it maybe you've been struggling with that maybe you've been struggling with that for a long time say it anyway I love myself release the legs take it to the other side even if you don't believe it say loud and proud you know something to that age-old wisdom I like the way RuPaul says it right if you can't love yourself how in the hell you gonna love someone else can I get an amen yes you can yes you can so squeeze the legs up in towards your heart just releasing here should feel really good and say it again maybe you close your eyes maybe open your eyes up towards the ceiling and just drop your shoulders and say it to yourself my friend whether you believe it or not I love myself is what yoga camp is all about a practice practice of self-love slowly release the legs you can center yourself on the mat draw your left hand to your heart your right hand to your belly and slide the legs out long one last time take a deep breath in big breath out and just have a little heart-to-heart moment with yourself I'm serious do it this is the moment say the mantra I love myself and notice how that makes you feel getting a little emotional already I hope you have a wonderful day I hope that you take this mantra with you off the mat and into the rest of the day even if it is just as an experiment right prove me wrong tell me a stupid tell me didn't work but my guess is that you'll be able to find something something that serves you right take what serves you leave behind what doesn't way to rock it out my yogi friends big day tomorrow see you then
