1
00:00:00,234 --> 00:00:02,135
- Howdy everyone and 
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

2
00:00:02,135 --> 00:00:03,570
I am Adriene and this is Benji

3
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:07,241
and today we have a 
quick yoga for a dull moment.

4
00:00:07,241 --> 00:00:11,745
So it's a never a dull moment in
this house and I totally believe

5
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:14,514
it's because I have a 
regular yoga practice.

6
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:18,151
So if you're wanting to stir the
pot or just wake up something

7
00:00:18,151 --> 00:00:20,087
inside that has been stagnant,

8
00:00:20,087 --> 00:00:22,823
hop in a something 
comfy and let's get started.

9
00:00:22,823 --> 00:00:27,828
(gentle music)

10
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:39,773
Okey-dokey Smokey, let's begin
standing today at the top of the

11
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:41,775
mat feet hip width apart.

12
00:00:44,811 --> 00:00:47,347
When you get there 
stand up nice and tall.

13
00:00:49,036 --> 00:00:53,320
Just allow your arms, your hands
to rest gently at your sides.

14
00:00:55,950 --> 00:01:00,275
And this is a quick practice

15
00:01:00,275 --> 00:01:03,697
to help you flip the script.

16
00:01:03,697 --> 00:01:06,900
To stir the pot.

17
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,465
Maybe find something new,

18
00:01:09,465 --> 00:01:13,206
engage in something that serves.

19
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:14,975
Set yourself up for greatness.

20
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:16,977
Never a dull moment.

21
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:21,715
So plant your feet 
firmly into the earth,

22
00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:24,473
take a deep breath in

23
00:01:24,473 --> 00:01:26,853
and as you exhale 
relax your shoulders and

24
00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:30,791
just be open to this 
notion of letting go,

25
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:35,329
letting go that day thus far,
letting go of expectations,

26
00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:38,265
letting go of any ideas of what
you think you should be doing

27
00:01:38,265 --> 00:01:40,600
now in this moment literally or

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,140
in the grand scheme 
of things in your life.

29
00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:48,008
I always say that 
without the yoga practice,

30
00:01:48,008 --> 00:01:51,378
my life would not be the same
and there is just never a dull

31
00:01:51,378 --> 00:01:54,524
moment in my life. (laughs)

32
00:01:55,849 --> 00:02:00,959
So whether you're just
feeling stuck or little bored,

33
00:02:01,989 --> 00:02:06,026
let's use this time even though
it's quick to breathe deep,

34
00:02:06,026 --> 00:02:10,630
to move with intention 
and to find what feels good.

35
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:14,011
Take a deep breath in,
reach for the sky.

36
00:02:15,902 --> 00:02:16,703
Big stretch here.

37
00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:18,472
As you exhale, bend your knees

38
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:21,074
and rain it down 
to a Forward Fold.

39
00:02:21,074 --> 00:02:23,577
Big stretch here 
so take a deep breath,

40
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:25,712
let the head relax over.

41
00:02:27,301 --> 00:02:29,783
Again, bend your knees and

42
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:31,718
then all the way back 
up towards the sky you go.

43
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:34,788
Press into your feet, inhale,
spread the fingertips start to

44
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:36,990
wake up the 
body with the breath.

45
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,826
Reach, reach, reach 
and then exhale cascading down,

46
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,562
bending the knees, 
wiggling the fingertips,

47
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:44,965
strong foundation in the feet.

48
00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:47,073
Take a breath here.

49
00:02:47,073 --> 00:02:50,837
Shake the head loose and then
one more time catch a wave,

50
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:53,206
press into your heels, inhale,
reach for the sky.

51
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:58,111
Big stretch, big breath and then
the wave crests and falls all

52
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:01,346
the way down once again.

53
00:03:01,346 --> 00:03:05,924
Uttansana, breathing deep.

54
00:03:07,888 --> 00:03:10,824
Awesome, on your next inhale,
slide the hands all the way up

55
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:12,215
to the tops of the thighs.

56
00:03:12,215 --> 00:03:15,495
Catch another wave here as you
inhale find length through the

57
00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:18,198
neck, through the spine,
pull the shoulders back,

58
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:21,334
elbows hug into the side body.

59
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:25,138
Take a deep breath here smile
just a bit and then exhale.

60
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:27,674
Focus, continue to focus 
on your breath as you move,

61
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:30,644
Forward Fold, breathe out.

62
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:31,678
Great, twice more like that.

63
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:34,247
Inhale, slide the palms 
to the tops of the thighs.

64
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:36,986
Inhale, find length

65
00:03:36,986 --> 00:03:39,986
and exhale folding forward,

66
00:03:39,986 --> 00:03:41,588
moving with your breath.

67
00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:43,590
One more time, 
here we go, inhale.

68
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:45,592
Find length, big breath.

69
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:50,964
And exhale softened,
soften and release.

70
00:03:50,964 --> 00:03:52,833
Great, from 
here bend both knees.

71
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:55,469
You're gonna walk 
the feet together and then

72
00:03:55,469 --> 00:03:58,205
slide the right toes back.

73
00:03:58,205 --> 00:04:02,609
Inhale to open the chest and
then exhale you're actually get

74
00:04:02,609 --> 00:04:03,810
to straighten the front leg and

75
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:06,646
draw your chin in 
towards your chest.

76
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:09,483
Inhale bend your front knee,
open the chest,

77
00:04:09,483 --> 00:04:11,668
big breath, big stretch.

78
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:15,489
Exhale, 
straighten your left knee,

79
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:18,959
pull the left hip crease back,
tuck your chin to your chest.

80
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,014
Alright you got 
it now, inhale, open.

81
00:04:23,559 --> 00:04:26,145
And exhale rounding through.

82
00:04:28,076 --> 00:04:31,838
And then keep this going with
your breath and each time see if

83
00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:36,209
you can find something new to
focus on so each time you

84
00:04:36,209 --> 00:04:38,345
round maybe you draw your 
navel toward your spine

85
00:04:38,345 --> 00:04:40,480
and lift your hip creases.

86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,150
Maybe when you open the chest
you draw the shoulder blades

87
00:04:43,150 --> 00:04:47,087
together squeeze 
inner thighs to the midline.

88
00:04:47,087 --> 00:04:49,723
Maybe the next time you draw
chin to chest you really lift

89
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:54,427
your right heel up, grow lighter
on the fingertips and then maybe

90
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:57,831
next time you open your heart
forward you drop your right

91
00:04:57,831 --> 00:05:00,567
knee, get a deeper stretch.

92
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:02,002
So a couple more on your own.

93
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:05,939
See if you can find 
something new each time.

94
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:08,654
Moving with the 
breath nice and easy.

95
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:21,588
Great, and then the 
next time your heart,

96
00:05:21,588 --> 00:05:23,689
your chest is opening 
forward go ahead and

97
00:05:23,690 --> 00:05:25,492
lower that right knee 
and we're gonna inhale,

98
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:28,295
sweep the arms all 
the way up and overhead.

99
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:32,232
Big stretch here as you sink
slowly forward into that front

100
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:34,801
leg while pulling 
the left hip crease back,

101
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:36,603
squeeze the inner 
thighs in the midline.

102
00:05:36,603 --> 00:05:39,072
Really feel your core here,
light up your heart,

103
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:42,142
lift, and then 
slowly we'll release it.

104
00:05:42,142 --> 00:05:43,843
Wiggle the 
fingertips all the way down.

105
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:46,213
Plant the palms, 
lift the back knee up.

106
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:47,681
Step the left toes back so

107
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:50,016
you're in a nice 
strong Plank Pose.

108
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:53,420
Strong and steady here,
press away from your yoga mat.

109
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:56,022
Really reach her heels back.

110
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,490
Great, inhale to look forward.

111
00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:00,694
Exhale to lower all 
the way down to the belly.

112
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:04,130
Breathe into your belly here
and press in to the tops of the

113
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:05,899
feet, hug the 
elbows in once again in.

114
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:10,370
Inhale, we rise, baby 
Cobra nice and low here.

115
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:13,206
Great, inhale and again draw
the shoulder blades together.

116
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:17,143
Hug the elbows in even more
and then exhale to release.

117
00:06:17,143 --> 00:06:19,746
Curl the toes under, 
press up into your power.

118
00:06:19,746 --> 00:06:20,413
Here we go.

119
00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:23,550
Big strong plank, 
big move with the breath.

120
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,119
Once you get there 
take a couple breaths.

121
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:28,788
Breathe deep lifting the front
body up to meet the back body.

122
00:06:28,788 --> 00:06:32,425
Really pressing 
away from the yoga mat.

123
00:06:32,425 --> 00:06:33,393
Alright, you're doing awesome.

124
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:34,961
Take one more breath,
you got this,

125
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:37,998
claw through your fingertips.

126
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:40,333
Awesome, then step your right
foot all the way up and

127
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:43,169
here we go, nice low lunge.

128
00:06:43,169 --> 00:06:44,838
Moving with your 
breath as you're ready.

129
00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:47,807
Find that ease, 
inhale to open the chest.

130
00:06:47,807 --> 00:06:49,909
Nice and easy, 
one breath at a time.

131
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:51,911
Exhale, pull the 
right hip crease back,

132
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:53,900
straighten the front leg.

133
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:57,350
Lift the hips, chin to chest.

134
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:59,753
Nice, inhale to 
open your heart forward.

135
00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:03,957
Exhale, grow 
light on the fingertips.

136
00:07:03,957 --> 00:07:06,660
And now you'll start to 
move in your vinyasa here,

137
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:08,461
see if you can 
move with intention.

138
00:07:08,461 --> 00:07:10,163
Whatever that means to you.

139
00:07:10,163 --> 00:07:12,766
See if you can move with your
breath and see if you can find

140
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:14,707
something new each time.

141
00:07:14,707 --> 00:07:17,504
So start with the big gestures
and then move inward

142
00:07:17,504 --> 00:07:19,539
towards the small things.

143
00:07:19,539 --> 00:07:21,597
See what you can find.

144
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:41,561
See if you can 
soften the hard edges.

145
00:07:41,561 --> 00:07:43,339
Whatever that means to you.

146
00:07:52,962 --> 00:07:56,509
Great, and then the next time,
take your time,

147
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:59,446
no rush, the next time you're
opening your chest forward go

148
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:02,115
ahead and soften that 
left knee to the ground.

149
00:08:02,115 --> 00:08:05,151
And then we'll inhale, sweep
the fingertips all the way up

150
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:08,096
towards the sky.
Start to collect your energy.

151
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:10,190
Stay centered or get centered.

152
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:13,226
Navel draws in, we squeeze the
inner thighs to the midline,

153
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:17,831
reaching for the sky here, let
this shape affect your breath

154
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:21,334
and let this also be 
inspired by your breath.

155
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:23,603
So you're taking 
nice full breaths here.

156
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:26,373
Maybe it kind of changes 
the way you feel and

157
00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:29,476
the way the shape looks. Right?

158
00:08:29,476 --> 00:08:30,377
If you're kind of clenching

159
00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:33,313
and holding and 
not breathing, yes.

160
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:35,280
Okay, I think we get it.

161
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,162
Okay, inhale.

162
00:08:37,162 --> 00:08:39,371
Just give it your best shot.
And exhale.

163
00:08:39,371 --> 00:08:42,722
And one more time, big inhale.

164
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:44,824
And exhale to rain 
it all the way down.

165
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:47,660
Awesome work, plant the
palms, step the right toes back.

166
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:49,963
Alright, Plank Pose.

167
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:52,232
Inhale, shift 
forward on the toes.

168
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:55,602
Exhale, lower belly to Cobra or
now maybe Chatarunga to Up Dog.

169
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:58,405
You're gonna use an inhale
either way to open your chest,

170
00:08:58,405 --> 00:09:00,807
Cobra or Up Dog.

171
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:04,577
And then exhale to 
Downward Facing Dog.

172
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:05,879
Great, pedal it out here.

173
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,213
Start to breathe deep.

174
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:08,214
Get a little primal.

175
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:09,249
Bend your knees.

176
00:09:09,249 --> 00:09:12,719
Claw into the earth 
with your fingertips.

177
00:09:14,773 --> 00:09:18,458
Create space between the 
ears and the shoulders and

178
00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:20,527
then here we go, 
never a dull moment,

179
00:09:20,527 --> 00:09:23,886
inhale deeply 
through the nostrils.

180
00:09:23,886 --> 00:09:26,833
You knew it was coming, exhale,
lion's breath, tongue out.

181
00:09:28,991 --> 00:09:31,737
One more time, big inhale,
surprise yourself.

182
00:09:32,712 --> 00:09:35,213
Exhale, let it roar.

183
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:38,812
Nice, inhale, lift 
the right leg up high.

184
00:09:38,812 --> 00:09:40,880
Exhale, you're gonna 
bend your right knee,

185
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,117
and just slowly press 
firmly into your left palm.

186
00:09:45,117 --> 00:09:48,388
You're gonna slowly draw a
circle with your right toes all

187
00:09:48,388 --> 00:09:51,458
the way around 'til they touch
the ground potentially ending up

188
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:53,059
in Wild Thing here.

189
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:55,361
Maybe spiraling the hip 
points up towards the sky,

190
00:09:55,361 --> 00:09:56,396
heart up towards the sky.

191
00:09:56,396 --> 00:09:58,198
Totally flipping the script here

192
00:09:58,198 --> 00:10:00,900
as you look forward 
beyond your right fingertips.

193
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,555
Take a deep breath in.

194
00:10:02,555 --> 00:10:04,804
Inhale, long puppy belly.

195
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:07,841
Exhale, navel draws in as 
you come all the way back,

196
00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:10,643
slowly, with ease, 
back to your Down Dog.

197
00:10:10,643 --> 00:10:12,312
If you need to 
take a rest in-between,

198
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:13,980
you can lower the knees.

199
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:16,182
Otherwise, back to Down Dog.

200
00:10:16,182 --> 00:10:18,218
Re-center.

201
00:10:18,218 --> 00:10:21,992
Inhale in, and exhale.

202
00:10:21,992 --> 00:10:25,725
Great, inhale, lift 
the left leg up high.

203
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:27,093
Find your foundation here.

204
00:10:27,093 --> 00:10:29,662
When you're ready, bend the left
knee and you're gonna draw just

205
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:33,066
a slow circle with the 
left toes all the way around.

206
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,567
You'll spiral 
on your right foot.

207
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:38,071
Keep pressing away from the
earth with your right hand.

208
00:10:38,071 --> 00:10:40,974
And here we go, lifting the
hip points up towards the sky.

209
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:42,642
If you're 
interested in Wild Thing,

210
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,077
you want the foundations,

211
00:10:44,077 --> 00:10:46,513
I have a foundations 
video for you here.

212
00:10:46,513 --> 00:10:49,682
Shot on a Halloween one year,
it's pretty fun.

213
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:51,885
Inhale in, lift the 
hip points up high.

214
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:53,653
Press away from the earth.

215
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,154
And then exhale, 
from your center,

216
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:56,956
from your core, 
all the way back.

217
00:10:56,956 --> 00:11:00,026
Awesome work, here you go,
back to Downward Facing Dog.

218
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:01,661
Last big cleansing breath.

219
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,796
Head below the heart, 
lift your hips up high,

220
00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:05,598
bend your knees if you need to.

221
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:06,799
Deep breath in.

222
00:11:08,206 --> 00:11:11,804
Lion's breath, tongue out.

223
00:11:11,804 --> 00:11:14,573
Awesome, slowly lower 
the knees to the ground.

224
00:11:15,930 --> 00:11:17,563
Paint your yoga 
mat with your hands,

225
00:11:17,563 --> 00:11:18,859
tug them all the way back.

226
00:11:18,859 --> 00:11:21,881
Inhale, look forward,
strong focus.

227
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:23,550
Send your fingertips back,

228
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:25,084
shoulder blades 
come together here.

229
00:11:25,084 --> 00:11:26,419
You're reaching, 
reaching, reaching,

230
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:27,744
really activating 
the upper back body.

231
00:11:27,744 --> 00:11:31,833
Inhale, open mind, open heart

232
00:11:31,833 --> 00:11:35,628
and then exhale surrender.

233
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:39,132
Child's Pose, close your eyes,
relax your shoulders,

234
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:40,992
breathe deep.

235
00:11:42,481 --> 00:11:46,224
Listen to the 
sound of your breath.

236
00:11:46,224 --> 00:11:48,208
Listen to your heart.

237
00:11:59,277 --> 00:12:01,721
And slowly start to 
wiggle the fingertips,

238
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:04,807
press into the tops of 
the feet, engage your center.

239
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:10,563
That can be physically or
even just through awareness.

240
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:15,383
And from your center, 
begin to slowly rise up.

241
00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:19,339
Awesome work, bring the 
hands together at the heart.

242
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:24,310
Trust.

243
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:30,183
Quietly whisper 
to yourself, "I trust."

244
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:36,089
Gently bring the 
thumbs up to the third eye.

245
00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:40,326
Inner teacher.

246
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:42,495
Get hot for inner teacher,
trust yourself,

247
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:44,897
trust your intuition.

248
00:12:44,897 --> 00:12:48,067
Keep showing up on your mat,
all will be well.

249
00:12:48,067 --> 00:12:49,678
Love you so much!
Have a great rest of the day.

250
00:12:49,678 --> 00:12:52,187
Let us know how 
you're doing down below

251
00:12:52,187 --> 00:12:54,562
and I'll see you soon.

252
00:12:54,568 --> 00:12:56,876
Namaste.

253
00:12:56,876 --> 00:13:01,471
(gentle music)
