1
00:00:00,375 --> 00:00:01,208
- What's up everyone?

2
00:00:01,208 --> 00:00:02,500
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene,

3
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,125
I'm Adriene and this is Benji.

4
00:00:04,125 --> 00:00:07,041
And today we
have yoga for chefs.

5
00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:10,125
This is a practice that
I think will benefit many,

6
00:00:10,125 --> 00:00:11,750
so I hope you enjoy it.

7
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:14,166
Hop into something
comfy and let's get started.

8
00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:17,834
(upbeat music)

9
00:00:27,792 --> 00:00:29,583
All righty chef and friends,

10
00:00:29,583 --> 00:00:32,667
let's begin in a
nice comfortable seat.

11
00:00:32,667 --> 00:00:34,500
Come on down to the ground,

12
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:37,041
and if you know it's
a little bit difficult

13
00:00:37,041 --> 00:00:40,166
for you to sit in this
cross legged seat comfortably,

14
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:43,000
go ahead and grab
a blanket or a towel

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,083
and lift the hips up,
sit on your blanket or towel

16
00:00:46,083 --> 00:00:48,333
so that you can
length in the spine

17
00:00:48,333 --> 00:00:49,792
with a little more ease.

18
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:56,166
Alright, so we're gonna start

19
00:00:56,166 --> 00:00:59,792
by just taking a
second to be still

20
00:00:59,792 --> 00:01:01,917
and land here in this moment.

21
00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:05,583
It's such an awesome
thing that you've done,

22
00:01:05,583 --> 00:01:07,375
taken this time
out for yourself.

23
00:01:07,375 --> 00:01:08,917
So let's ease in.

24
00:01:10,417 --> 00:01:11,750
We won't get too crazy today,

25
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:15,291
but I love the practice
of yoga, the tools of yoga,

26
00:01:15,291 --> 00:01:17,834
because I'm constantly reminded

27
00:01:17,834 --> 00:01:19,750
that a little goes a long way.

28
00:01:20,917 --> 00:01:23,208
So taking this little
bit of time for yourself

29
00:01:24,834 --> 00:01:25,834
is so great.

30
00:01:25,834 --> 00:01:28,667
Let's take a
second to tuck the chin,

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,166
relax your shoulders,

32
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:34,083
and if you're
comfortable close your eyes,

33
00:01:34,083 --> 00:01:37,500
or just soften your
gaze down past your nose

34
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,166
and allow the sound of
my voice to guide you here.

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,917
As you're ready

36
00:01:44,834 --> 00:01:47,708
give the thinking mind a break,

37
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:49,208
start to scan the body

38
00:01:49,208 --> 00:01:50,625
and just notice how you feel,

39
00:01:50,625 --> 00:01:52,166
tired, heavy,

40
00:01:54,041 --> 00:01:57,750
sore, tight,

41
00:01:59,792 --> 00:02:01,375
stressed, energized,

42
00:02:01,375 --> 00:02:04,667
just take a second
to do a little scan

43
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:08,208
and observe,
notice how you feel.

44
00:02:10,875 --> 00:02:13,875
Or it could be more subtle,

45
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:15,625
it could be that you soften

46
00:02:19,917 --> 00:02:21,583
your attention towards one thing

47
00:02:21,583 --> 00:02:23,792
that maybe you've
been really focused on.

48
00:02:25,166 --> 00:02:27,959
Maybe you let go of it for
the duration of this practice,

49
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:31,000
just so you can be
in the present moment

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,875
and tend to your body,
and tend to your breath.

51
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,333
Start to notice your breath

52
00:02:41,375 --> 00:02:44,875
and begin to segue into
a more conscious breath,

53
00:02:44,875 --> 00:02:47,000
a more conscious
breathing pattern,

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,166
just deeper, fuller

55
00:02:50,834 --> 00:02:54,792
inhalations and
longer exhalations.

56
00:03:02,834 --> 00:03:05,000
Then continue to
gently deepen the breath

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,375
as you drop the
chin to your chest

58
00:03:07,375 --> 00:03:11,667
and slowly begin to
make circles with the nose

59
00:03:13,125 --> 00:03:16,583
one way, nice and slow,

60
00:03:18,291 --> 00:03:21,708
and then the other,
reversing it nice and slow.

61
00:03:23,708 --> 00:03:28,542
And as you begin to create
these circles with the nose

62
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:30,333
and continue to gently
deepen your breath,

63
00:03:30,333 --> 00:03:34,417
see if you can keep your
shoulders relaxing down actively

64
00:03:34,417 --> 00:03:38,667
and your heart
lifting out actively.

65
00:03:42,291 --> 00:03:45,041
Taking your
circles back and forth,

66
00:03:45,041 --> 00:03:50,083
working out any kinks
in the neck, the traps.

67
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,083
Again, telling our brain
as we breathe deep here

68
00:03:56,083 --> 00:03:57,250
and start to move the body,

69
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:59,166
that we're gonna give
the thinking mind a break

70
00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:01,959
and really just be
in the present moment,

71
00:04:03,375 --> 00:04:04,583
fill your cup.

72
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:10,083
Alright, bring the
head back over the heart.

73
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:12,500
See if you can align
the head over the heart

74
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:15,125
and the heart
over the pelvis here.

75
00:04:15,125 --> 00:04:16,417
And we'll bring
the palms together,

76
00:04:16,417 --> 00:04:17,792
take a deep breath in,

77
00:04:19,083 --> 00:04:21,208
and on the exhale go
ahead and take your fingertips

78
00:04:21,208 --> 00:04:22,792
forward and then down.

79
00:04:22,792 --> 00:04:24,542
Big stretch here in the palms,

80
00:04:24,542 --> 00:04:26,125
in the wrists and the forearms.

81
00:04:26,125 --> 00:04:28,125
Try to keep your
shoulders relaxed still,

82
00:04:28,125 --> 00:04:30,750
heart lifting,
take a deep breath in,

83
00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:34,875
stay here, long breath out,
stay here.

84
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:39,166
One more cycle of
breath in and out.

85
00:04:41,708 --> 00:04:42,625
Nice work, Benji.

86
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:45,083
Alright, bring it back up,
interlace the fingertips,

87
00:04:45,083 --> 00:04:46,792
press the palms forward.

88
00:04:46,792 --> 00:04:48,708
Again, stretching
through the palms,

89
00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:50,500
the wrists, the forearms,

90
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,750
but finding a
nice deep slow breath,

91
00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:55,208
kind of calming
the nervous system,

92
00:04:55,208 --> 00:04:57,250
again, telling the body,

93
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:01,250
we're taking a
little bit of time to reset,

94
00:05:01,250 --> 00:05:02,750
to find what feels good.

95
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:06,083
Alright, now continue
the journey up,

96
00:05:06,083 --> 00:05:08,500
press your palms forward
on an imaginary surface

97
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,333
as you reach the palms all
the way up towards the sky.

98
00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:13,125
If the shoulders are tight,
no need to push it,

99
00:05:13,125 --> 00:05:16,166
just keep it nice
and at a diagonal here.

100
00:05:16,166 --> 00:05:18,667
Inhale, lift up
from the waistline,

101
00:05:18,667 --> 00:05:21,667
lift, lift, lift, lift,
and then exhale,

102
00:05:21,667 --> 00:05:23,792
slowly release
the fingertips down

103
00:05:23,792 --> 00:05:25,667
soft and easy on the neck here.

104
00:05:27,041 --> 00:05:29,041
Awesome, left hand
comes to the earth,

105
00:05:29,041 --> 00:05:30,792
right fingertips
reach up and over,

106
00:05:30,792 --> 00:05:32,333
side body stretch.

107
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:34,250
You can pulse
here a couple times,

108
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:38,375
return to the breath,
nice full conscious inhalations

109
00:05:38,375 --> 00:05:43,250
and long exhales, letting
go of any stress or tension.

110
00:05:44,625 --> 00:05:47,917
Cool. Then take the right
hand to your left kneecap,

111
00:05:47,917 --> 00:05:49,333
and then take
your left fingertips

112
00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:51,583
all the way up and
over in the other direction.

113
00:05:51,583 --> 00:05:54,333
Breathe deep, keep
working to ground the shoulders

114
00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:56,875
down away from the ears.

115
00:05:56,875 --> 00:05:59,417
Lift your chest,
lift your heart.

116
00:05:59,417 --> 00:06:02,417
Take one more breath,
inhale in.

117
00:06:02,417 --> 00:06:05,458
Exhale, left hand
now to the right knee,

118
00:06:05,458 --> 00:06:07,667
round everything forward,
chin to chest,

119
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:10,708
navel draws in
towards the spine.

120
00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:13,500
Bow your head down we're
getting an amazing stretch,

121
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:17,083
the whole back body here
creating length in the spine.

122
00:06:17,083 --> 00:06:19,792
Go ahead and let the
weight of the head relax over.

123
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,250
Sweet. Then ground down
through the lower body

124
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:26,792
as you lift up
through the spine,

125
00:06:26,792 --> 00:06:28,500
inhale, lift the elbows,

126
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:30,000
open the arms out, ah,

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,917
and fingertips come
back down to the earth.

128
00:06:31,917 --> 00:06:33,875
Awesome. Take the
right hand to the Earth,

129
00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:36,250
inhale, reach the left
fingertips up and over,

130
00:06:36,250 --> 00:06:37,583
side stretch.

131
00:06:42,542 --> 00:06:45,417
Breathing deep,
finding what feels good here.

132
00:06:45,417 --> 00:06:47,750
Don't really worry
so much about the shape,

133
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:49,250
but the sensation, right?

134
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:50,834
We only have a
little bit of time

135
00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:53,125
to tend to your body,
to get into the good stuff, so

136
00:06:55,792 --> 00:06:57,291
make it your own.

137
00:06:59,708 --> 00:07:01,667
Take one more breath in here,

138
00:07:02,625 --> 00:07:07,125
and then on an exhale bring
the left hand to the kneecap,

139
00:07:07,125 --> 00:07:09,208
and take the right
fingertips up and over.

140
00:07:09,208 --> 00:07:11,417
Opposite direction, big stretch.

141
00:07:11,417 --> 00:07:13,458
Let the thighs be heavy here.

142
00:07:15,625 --> 00:07:17,125
Shoulders relaxed.

143
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,417
Inhale, pull the
right thumb back just a bit,

144
00:07:22,417 --> 00:07:25,041
and then exhale, right hand
comes to the left kneecap.

145
00:07:25,041 --> 00:07:27,208
Go ahead and round
everything through again.

146
00:07:27,208 --> 00:07:30,500
So we're really taking the
navel back towards the spine.

147
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:34,625
Big stretch through

148
00:07:34,625 --> 00:07:38,500
both the upper and the mid-back.

149
00:07:40,708 --> 00:07:43,458
And then take one
more inhale and exhale

150
00:07:43,458 --> 00:07:44,542
to go a little deeper,

151
00:07:44,542 --> 00:07:48,166
feeling that length
in the low back as well.

152
00:07:51,125 --> 00:07:55,166
Great, here we go, releasing.
Lifting elbows all the way up.

153
00:07:55,166 --> 00:07:58,458
Come all the way back
up to a seat. Awesome work.

154
00:07:58,458 --> 00:08:00,583
Take a deep breath in.

155
00:08:00,583 --> 00:08:02,792
Empty it out
through the mouth. (sighs)

156
00:08:02,792 --> 00:08:04,667
Alright, coming
forward on to all fours.

157
00:08:04,667 --> 00:08:06,500
Take your time,
move nice and slow.

158
00:08:09,083 --> 00:08:10,792
Benji, you're so
sleepy today, bud.

159
00:08:11,750 --> 00:08:13,667
Bring the wrists right
underneath the shoulders,

160
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:15,542
knees right underneath the hips.

161
00:08:16,708 --> 00:08:20,583
Inhale to drop the belly,
open the chest, Cow Pose.

162
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:24,083
Exhale to round through,
Cat, chin to chest.

163
00:08:25,250 --> 00:08:28,458
Inhale, drop the belly,
open your heart forward.

164
00:08:29,667 --> 00:08:31,333
And exhale,
rounding through now.

165
00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:33,125
Take a couple
rounds on your own.

166
00:08:34,583 --> 00:08:36,000
Spinal flexion,

167
00:08:38,208 --> 00:08:39,625
getting the spine moving,

168
00:08:41,083 --> 00:08:42,083
nice and easy.

169
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:53,000
Awesome, and then
bring the big toes together,

170
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,583
come back to center,
bring the knees wide.

171
00:08:55,583 --> 00:08:57,542
Inhale in,
send your right fingertips

172
00:08:57,542 --> 00:08:59,458
up towards the sky,
really reach.

173
00:08:59,458 --> 00:09:01,250
And then exhale, you're
gonna thread the needle,

174
00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:04,375
bring the right arm underneath
the bridge of the left arm,

175
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:07,000
and you're gonna come to
a rest on your right ear.

176
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,583
Left hand can come
all the way forward,

177
00:09:09,583 --> 00:09:12,333
you can bend the
elbow for a deeper stretch,

178
00:09:12,333 --> 00:09:14,041
or you can even
take the left hand

179
00:09:14,041 --> 00:09:15,250
to the small of your back here.

180
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:17,542
As you breathe
deep in the twist,

181
00:09:17,542 --> 00:09:18,875
send breath to your belly,

182
00:09:18,875 --> 00:09:20,708
massaging the internal organs.

183
00:09:24,375 --> 00:09:27,208
And then slowly bringing
it back up through center,

184
00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:30,375
and when you're ready,
switching sides.

185
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:33,000
Sending the left
fingertips up high.

186
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,959
Threading the
needle as you breathe out.

187
00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:40,041
Coming to rest on
the left side, left ear,

188
00:09:40,041 --> 00:09:44,583
the left shoulder, and right
arm can, again, find extension.

189
00:09:44,583 --> 00:09:47,166
You can bend the
elbow for a little fulcrum

190
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:50,375
or you can take the right
hand to the small of the back.

191
00:09:50,375 --> 00:09:51,959
Breathe here.

192
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:54,667
Try to keep your feet
pressing down on the earth.

193
00:09:55,959 --> 00:09:59,041
Yep, you got it. Take one
more cycle of breath here.

194
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:03,417
And then slowly release.

195
00:10:04,417 --> 00:10:05,625
Awesome work.

196
00:10:05,625 --> 00:10:07,750
We're gonna come
to a Downward Dog.

197
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:11,583
Walk the hands out,
upper arm bones rotate out,

198
00:10:11,583 --> 00:10:13,542
opening up through the chest.

199
00:10:13,542 --> 00:10:15,000
And then we'll
curl the toes under

200
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,750
and nice and
slow in your own time

201
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:18,417
send the hips up high.

202
00:10:19,375 --> 00:10:22,875
Bringing the heart
above the head here,

203
00:10:22,875 --> 00:10:24,333
so good for the body,

204
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:27,041
taking a second to
pedal the feet out.

205
00:10:28,083 --> 00:10:29,708
Make sure you're
not holding your breath,

206
00:10:29,708 --> 00:10:32,250
but start to
really stretch the feet,

207
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:37,083
stretch through the ankles,
the calves, the hamstrings.

208
00:10:37,083 --> 00:10:40,000
You can twist a little
bit from left to right.

209
00:10:43,542 --> 00:10:47,166
Mhmmm. Make sure
you're not holding in the neck

210
00:10:47,166 --> 00:10:48,417
or gripping in the neck.

211
00:10:48,417 --> 00:10:51,375
Let your head hang
here for this variation,

212
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:54,792
just nice smooth deep breaths

213
00:10:54,792 --> 00:10:57,875
as you stretch out the feet,
the ankles, the legs.

214
00:11:00,208 --> 00:11:03,041
Great, one more cycle
of breath here in and out.

215
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:09,750
And then we'll
slowly lower to the knees.

216
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:11,208
Awesome work.

217
00:11:11,208 --> 00:11:14,166
We're gonna take the
legs to one side, any side,

218
00:11:14,166 --> 00:11:16,917
and we're gonna
come through to a seat.

219
00:11:17,792 --> 00:11:19,542
Send the legs out long.

220
00:11:19,542 --> 00:11:21,875
You can bend your
knees generously here

221
00:11:21,875 --> 00:11:24,000
or start to straighten
the legs right away.

222
00:11:24,917 --> 00:11:26,417
So just feel it out.

223
00:11:26,417 --> 00:11:28,834
Inhale and send
the fingertips up high.

224
00:11:28,834 --> 00:11:30,250
Exhale, think up and over,

225
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:32,041
you're gonna
reach towards your toes.

226
00:11:32,041 --> 00:11:33,333
Don't even have to come close,

227
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:35,750
we're just wanting to send
some more love to the low back.

228
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:37,417
So feel free, again,
to bend your knees

229
00:11:37,417 --> 00:11:39,041
as generously as you need,

230
00:11:39,041 --> 00:11:43,125
and eventually we
wanna round through,

231
00:11:43,125 --> 00:11:47,417
letting the weight
of the head melt down.

232
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:50,500
So folding in.

233
00:11:54,875 --> 00:11:57,375
Listen to the
sound of your breath here.

234
00:12:06,083 --> 00:12:07,917
Taking a little
time to go inwards,

235
00:12:07,917 --> 00:12:09,333
so close your eyes.

236
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,750
Take one more breath in.

237
00:12:17,792 --> 00:12:19,834
Exhale to slowly roll up.

238
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,500
Bring the feet together,
Cobbler's Pose.

239
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:25,542
It's okay if the hips are tight,

240
00:12:25,542 --> 00:12:27,834
that's why we're here,
checking in.

241
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,500
You can grab the ankles
or you can take your thumbs

242
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:32,917
right to your sweet feet

243
00:12:32,917 --> 00:12:35,166
and give yourself
a little massage.

244
00:12:35,166 --> 00:12:37,875
So holding onto the ankles,
sitting up nice and tall,

245
00:12:37,875 --> 00:12:40,041
drawing the tops
of the thighs down,

246
00:12:40,041 --> 00:12:43,583
or give yourself a
little foot massage.

247
00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:45,417
It might sound weird at first,

248
00:12:45,417 --> 00:12:48,667
but a little goes a long ways.

249
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:51,583
So take your thumbs
to the arches of the feet

250
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:52,959
and you can go to town here

251
00:12:52,959 --> 00:12:54,708
just stretching
through the feet.

252
00:12:58,125 --> 00:12:59,542
Giving yourself some love.

253
00:13:05,625 --> 00:13:08,625
Awesome. Then we'll bring the
knees back up through center,

254
00:13:08,625 --> 00:13:11,291
walk the feet as
wide as your yoga mat,

255
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:12,625
or a little bit
wider than your hips,

256
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,583
and you're just
gonna windshield wiper

257
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:17,375
the legs one way
and then the other.

258
00:13:17,375 --> 00:13:20,041
And your hips and your
bum are gonna kinda scoot down

259
00:13:20,041 --> 00:13:21,625
and we're just
gonna let that happen,

260
00:13:21,625 --> 00:13:24,667
'cause we're coming
onto our backs next.

261
00:13:24,667 --> 00:13:27,291
So we have external
rotation in one hip,

262
00:13:27,291 --> 00:13:28,708
internal rotation in the other,

263
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:32,083
as you windshield
wiper side to side.

264
00:13:33,333 --> 00:13:36,458
And eventually we will come
all the way onto our backs.

265
00:13:38,333 --> 00:13:39,417
When you get there,

266
00:13:39,417 --> 00:13:42,417
go ahead and hug the
knees into the chest,

267
00:13:42,417 --> 00:13:45,041
more lower back love.

268
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:49,792
And then kick
your left foot out,

269
00:13:49,792 --> 00:13:51,500
hold your right knee in,

270
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:55,041
but let your left heel
hover just above the earth.

271
00:13:56,208 --> 00:13:57,792
Take a deep breath in.

272
00:13:57,792 --> 00:14:00,458
On the exhale, switch.
Bring your left knee in,

273
00:14:00,458 --> 00:14:01,750
send your right leg out,

274
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:04,542
but let your right heel
hover just above the earth.

275
00:14:04,542 --> 00:14:07,417
So just welcoming
gently a little core.

276
00:14:07,417 --> 00:14:10,500
Switching in your
own time back and forth,

277
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:13,875
seeing if you can get
the low belly to draw in,

278
00:14:13,875 --> 00:14:17,250
the low ribs to hug in as
you switch back and forth,

279
00:14:17,250 --> 00:14:20,125
just lighting up
the abdominal wall.

280
00:14:21,792 --> 00:14:24,417
You have the support
of the earth here,

281
00:14:24,417 --> 00:14:26,834
your yoga mat literally
has your back in this moment.

282
00:14:26,834 --> 00:14:28,792
Let's do one more on each side.

283
00:14:30,917 --> 00:14:33,291
Awesome. And then allow
the feet to come to the earth,

284
00:14:33,291 --> 00:14:34,917
knees up towards the sky,

285
00:14:34,917 --> 00:14:37,125
kick the right foot up,
cross the right ankle

286
00:14:37,125 --> 00:14:39,375
over the top of the left thigh.

287
00:14:39,375 --> 00:14:42,083
Reclined Pigeon,
you'll lift the legs up.

288
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:45,166
You can interlace the fingertips
behind your left hamstring,

289
00:14:45,166 --> 00:14:47,208
and then start
to squeeze your legs

290
00:14:47,208 --> 00:14:48,208
in towards your body.

291
00:14:48,208 --> 00:14:50,500
This is our last
shape here on both sides,

292
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:52,875
so reconnect with your breath,

293
00:14:52,875 --> 00:14:55,834
close your eyes,
relax your shoulders.

294
00:15:04,750 --> 00:15:08,959
For this last inhale, you
might straighten the left leg.

295
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:11,708
Flexing the left toes
towards the face,

296
00:15:11,708 --> 00:15:14,500
and then slowly
release as you breathe out.

297
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:16,708
We'll switch to the other side.

298
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:19,834
Right foot on the ground,
left leg kicks up.

299
00:15:19,834 --> 00:15:22,375
Left ankle crosses over
the top of the right thigh.

300
00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:24,542
When you're ready,
thread the needle,

301
00:15:24,542 --> 00:15:28,500
lifting it up, interlacing
behind the right hamstring.

302
00:15:30,291 --> 00:15:34,875
And you can imagine pressing
your right foot into a surface,

303
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:36,583
like an imaginary wall here.

304
00:15:37,917 --> 00:15:39,542
You can use your left elbow

305
00:15:39,542 --> 00:15:41,458
to create a deeper
stretch in the hip,

306
00:15:41,458 --> 00:15:44,166
pressing it into the left thigh.

307
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:46,875
You can move around here
a little bit, breathe deep.

308
00:15:51,792 --> 00:15:53,250
Close your eyes.

309
00:15:58,542 --> 00:16:00,834
Feel your back supported here.

310
00:16:00,834 --> 00:16:02,000
For this last inhale,

311
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,166
you might consider
straightening the right leg,

312
00:16:05,166 --> 00:16:07,625
flexing your right
toes towards your face.

313
00:16:08,834 --> 00:16:12,625
And then as you breathe out,
let's unravel everything.

314
00:16:12,625 --> 00:16:16,291
Release everything,
send the legs out long.

315
00:16:16,291 --> 00:16:18,917
Inhale, reach the arms
all the way up and overhead,

316
00:16:18,917 --> 00:16:21,917
a final big stretch here,
full body.

317
00:16:21,917 --> 00:16:25,875
Spread the fingertips,
open and close the jaw.

318
00:16:25,875 --> 00:16:27,375
Spread the toes.

319
00:16:28,917 --> 00:16:31,500
And then take one
more deep breath in.

320
00:16:32,125 --> 00:16:33,250
And as you exhale,

321
00:16:33,250 --> 00:16:36,041
just bring your arms to
rest gently at your sides.

322
00:16:36,041 --> 00:16:38,667
Walk your ankles,
your feet out just a bit,

323
00:16:38,667 --> 00:16:41,333
and close your
eyes as you breathe in

324
00:16:42,917 --> 00:16:46,458
and relax the weight
of your body completely

325
00:16:46,458 --> 00:16:49,041
and fully into the mat,
into the earth

326
00:16:49,041 --> 00:16:50,208
as you breathe out.

327
00:16:51,959 --> 00:16:55,000
For a hot second here
just let everything go,

328
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,333
a total surrender.

329
00:17:05,917 --> 00:17:08,083
Awesome, nice work everyone.

330
00:17:11,875 --> 00:17:16,667
If time allows you to be still
and relax here a bit longer,

331
00:17:16,667 --> 00:17:19,625
you can pause the video
and return to this position.

332
00:17:21,125 --> 00:17:24,041
Otherwise we'll
bring the palms together.

333
00:17:24,041 --> 00:17:25,959
Thumbs right up
to the third eye.

334
00:17:28,667 --> 00:17:31,834
Take one final big
breath in through the nose.

335
00:17:34,250 --> 00:17:36,250
And out through the mouth.

336
00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:42,375
And we finished this practice

337
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:44,875
by recognizing

338
00:17:46,708 --> 00:17:49,875
the light in ourselves
and each other.

339
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:53,000
Thank you for what you do.

340
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,542
Thank you for
taking time for yourself

341
00:17:54,542 --> 00:17:56,250
and sharing it with me

342
00:17:56,250 --> 00:17:58,500
and the
Yoga With Adriene community.

343
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:00,041
I'll see you next time.

344
00:18:00,041 --> 00:18:01,250
Namaste.

345
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:06,625
(upbeat music)
