00:00:00,267 --> 00:00:02,236
- Hi everyone, 
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

2
00:00:02,236 --> 00:00:03,537
I'm Adriene and this is Benji

3
00:00:03,537 --> 00:00:07,474
and today we have an 
awesome yoga for gut health,

4
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:10,344
so hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

5
00:00:10,973 --> 00:00:15,048
(upbeat music)

6
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:24,892
Alright, my sweet friends,

7
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:29,357
let's begin seated in a nice,

8
00:00:29,357 --> 00:00:33,253
cross-legged pose.

9
00:00:33,253 --> 00:00:36,970
We call this the 
easy pose, Sukhasana,

10
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:40,908
but it's not necessarily 
to mean that it's easy,

11
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:42,109
so just come on 
down to the ground.

12
00:00:42,109 --> 00:00:43,477
If you need to lift the hips up

13
00:00:43,477 --> 00:00:46,990
or give yourself a little
pillow or something to sit on

14
00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:49,283
to help you sit up 
tall versus rounding

15
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:50,450
and collapsed in the spine.

16
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:52,920
When we sit collapsed, 
our internal organs get

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,123
kind of smushed together, so
pause the video if you need to

18
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:57,824
and find something to sit on

19
00:00:57,824 --> 00:00:59,359
so you can sit up nice and tall.

20
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,061
Find a little lift from within.

21
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:05,832
And then throughout regular
practice we'll find more ease

22
00:01:05,832 --> 00:01:07,901
in the shape, alright?

23
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:11,838
Thanks for being here,
let's jump right in.

24
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:13,340
Sit up nice and tall.

25
00:01:14,608 --> 00:01:16,610
Let your hands just gently rest

26
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:19,279
on the knees or thighs, 
wherever they fall naturally.

27
00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:22,783
If you feel comfortable,
close your eyes here

28
00:01:22,783 --> 00:01:24,618
as we just take a 
second to tune in.

29
00:01:26,353 --> 00:01:30,800
Really utilizing and,

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,858
I'm gonna say it,

31
00:01:31,858 --> 00:01:36,206
maximizing this time that
you've carved out for yourself.

32
00:01:36,206 --> 00:01:40,100
So, with targeted practices 
we have to also remember

33
00:01:41,535 --> 00:01:43,804
that with yoga we're 
working with an understanding

34
00:01:43,804 --> 00:01:46,974
of a whole body and 
that's what we're trying to grow

35
00:01:46,974 --> 00:01:48,308
is this whole body awareness,

36
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:51,078
that it's all connected 
and when we're talking

37
00:01:51,078 --> 00:01:53,246
or considering gut health,

38
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,115
I think that's an 
important reminder.

39
00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:02,456
Alright, if you haven't already,

40
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:06,293
begin to bring your 
attention to your breath.

41
00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:12,866
Notice if you're 
holding in your belly.

42
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:15,702
See if you can soften there

43
00:02:15,702 --> 00:02:17,537
and if you're 
holding any other place,

44
00:02:17,537 --> 00:02:22,376
the jaw, the toes, even in
the hands or the shoulders,

45
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:27,080
start to soften and relax,
come into the present moment.

46
00:02:29,082 --> 00:02:30,888
Right, it's all connected.

47
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:37,224
Then, together,

48
00:02:39,026 --> 00:02:41,428
I'll invite us to 
take the deepest breath

49
00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:43,830
you've taken all day.
Here we go, ready?

50
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:45,098
Big inhale.

51
00:02:47,401 --> 00:02:49,503
And as you exhale, go 
ahead and release it out

52
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:51,571
through the mouth 
with a little ha sound.

53
00:02:54,574 --> 00:02:56,209
Good, big inhale again.

54
00:02:58,712 --> 00:03:00,680
Exhale, ha sound.

55
00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:04,651
Relaxing the shoulders as you
breathe out, one more time.

56
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:07,521
Here we go, big inhale.

57
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:10,190
Lift your heart, 
sit up nice and tall.

58
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,994
And exhale, relax the 
shoulders as you breathe out.

59
00:03:15,996 --> 00:03:18,065
Good, now bring 
your hands to your belly.

60
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:21,802
Inhale, breathe in.

61
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:22,803
This time as you breathe in,

62
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:24,271
think of this 
directional breath,

63
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:25,338
what we call directional breath.

64
00:03:25,338 --> 00:03:26,740
Your inhale goes down,

65
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:29,910
you can feel your hands
actually move as you breathe in.

66
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:34,481
And exhale, soften, 
hands gently draw in,

67
00:03:34,481 --> 00:03:36,349
slight retraction 
as you breathe out.

68
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:38,723
Twice more like that,
here we go. Big inhale.

69
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:43,790
Feel the belly expand,
heart lifts.

70
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:46,893
Exhale, navel gently 
retracts back to the spine.

71
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:49,663
And one more time, inhale.

72
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:53,142
And exhale.

73
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:56,536
Excellent.

74
00:03:56,536 --> 00:03:58,572
Bring your 
fingertips to your sides,

75
00:03:58,572 --> 00:03:59,906
plant the left 
palm to the earth.

76
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:01,808
Inhale, reach the 
right arm all the way up.

77
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:03,830
Big side body stretch.

78
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:06,813
If you feel collapsed 
in the belly, again,

79
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:08,448
maybe lift the hips.

80
00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:11,918
We'll work to find 
that Upward Facing Dog

81
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:13,620
or Cobra sensation in the heart.

82
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:17,318
This lift through 
the chest up so we can

83
00:04:17,318 --> 00:04:19,923
minimize the 
collapse in the belly

84
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:22,028
and then, when you're ready,

85
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:24,364
we're gonna take it 
all the way up and over

86
00:04:24,364 --> 00:04:26,299
just past the 
front of your left knee.

87
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:27,868
So you're feeling a big stretch

88
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:32,439
in your lower right 
side of your back, sorry.

89
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,175
And we're feeling a massage

90
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:38,712
or a little compression 
in the left low belly.

91
00:04:38,712 --> 00:04:40,847
If the fingertips come 
to the ground, let them.

92
00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:42,849
If not, just 
reach, reach, reach.

93
00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:45,919
Great, inhale in.

94
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:49,356
For your next exhale, 
draw the chin to the chest.

95
00:04:50,824 --> 00:04:54,928
Good, inhale, just reverse,
come all the way back up.

96
00:04:54,928 --> 00:04:57,430
And exhale, right 
fingertips to the earth.

97
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,533
Great, second side.
Right hand to the earth.

98
00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:02,102
Inhale, first, come 
out of the left sideways

99
00:05:02,102 --> 00:05:03,837
by reaching all the way up.

100
00:05:03,837 --> 00:05:05,405
Left fingertips to the sky.

101
00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:09,843
Inhale in. Exhale,
slowly take it up

102
00:05:09,843 --> 00:05:11,678
and over just 
past your right knee,

103
00:05:11,678 --> 00:05:13,847
so going on a diagonal line.

104
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:15,916
Creating space in 
the left low back.

105
00:05:15,916 --> 00:05:17,417
Creating a little compression

106
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:20,654
in the right low belly 
and right oblique.

107
00:05:20,654 --> 00:05:22,088
Maybe you stay reaching here,

108
00:05:22,088 --> 00:05:25,225
maybe the fingertips 
come to the ground.

109
00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:26,693
Breathe, breathe, breathe.

110
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:29,729
Alright, listen carefully.

111
00:05:29,729 --> 00:05:33,733
Inhale to look forward.
Exhale, chin to chest,

112
00:05:33,733 --> 00:05:36,036
navel draws in, 
hug the low ribs in.

113
00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:39,306
Sweet.

114
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:42,042
Slowly reverse it, 
come all the way back up,

115
00:05:42,042 --> 00:05:44,377
left hand reaches all 
the way up towards the sky

116
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:48,281
and we come back down, 
fingertips to the earth.

117
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:49,916
Alright, we're gonna 
uncross the ankles here.

118
00:05:49,916 --> 00:05:52,018
Just bring one foot 
in front of the other.

119
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:58,124
Let's unify, let's 
bring the left heel in

120
00:05:58,124 --> 00:06:01,394
and then the right foot 
in front just for starters.

121
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:04,531
Then, here we go, 
big inhale, palms face up,

122
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:07,634
sweep up towards the sky,
lift from your waistline.

123
00:06:07,634 --> 00:06:11,504
So creating a long sensation 
through the front body,

124
00:06:11,504 --> 00:06:13,974
just kind of grounding
sensation through the back body.

125
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:17,010
Again, coming up 
out of our organs a bit,

126
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:19,546
finding that left 
from the pelvic floor.

127
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:22,582
Inhale in. Exhale, 
dial your heart space

128
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:24,784
towards your left knee.
So, twist to the left

129
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:27,220
and then we're gonna take it
down just like we did before.

130
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:30,624
But this time both fingertips
coming towards the ground.

131
00:06:30,624 --> 00:06:32,626
Inhale to look forward, smile.

132
00:06:32,626 --> 00:06:34,961
Exhale, chin to chest,
round through.

133
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:37,564
See if you can create a 
little hollow body here.

134
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:38,765
Navel draws in.

135
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:41,201
Cool.

136
00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:44,671
Walk it through center,
get as low as you can.

137
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:46,106
No need to go as low as me,

138
00:06:46,106 --> 00:06:48,441
but if you can get 
forearms to the ground, great.

139
00:06:48,441 --> 00:06:49,376
Otherwise stay lifted.

140
00:06:49,376 --> 00:06:51,444
You can even come 
forehead to the earth.

141
00:06:52,312 --> 00:06:54,614
And then walk it all 
the way to the right.

142
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:58,652
Inhale to look forward, smile.

143
00:06:58,652 --> 00:07:00,086
Exhale, chin to chest.

144
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:03,356
Inhale to bring it 
all the way back up.

145
00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:05,325
Reach for the sky.

146
00:07:05,325 --> 00:07:09,429
And exhale, fingertips float
down gently at your sides.

147
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:10,764
Good, let's switch.

148
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:13,633
Right heel comes in,
left leg out.

149
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:18,338
Here we go, big inhale,
reach for the sky.

150
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,009
Beautiful, exhale from center.

151
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:27,213
So, slowly twisting 
to the right from here.

152
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:30,650
Good, inhale in again.

153
00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,853
Exhale over to your 
right nice and easy.

154
00:07:33,853 --> 00:07:36,456
And just check it out,
breathing deep.

155
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:37,771
So really focusing on the

156
00:07:37,771 --> 00:07:39,826
sensations today 
versus the shape.

157
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:42,796
Really, always in yoga, but
really today so we can start

158
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:46,032
to create more awareness.

159
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:51,137
Well, a deeper 
relationship with your guts.

160
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:54,507
So many metaphors there.

161
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:56,142
Okay, inhale, look forward.

162
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:57,410
Exhale, chin to chest.

163
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:02,382
Good, and then here we go,
walking through.

164
00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:05,452
Coming through center, 
forearms, fingertips,

165
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:06,943
forehead to the mat, 
nice hip stretch here.

166
00:08:06,943 --> 00:08:09,989
So breathe deep, 
breathe into your belly.

167
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:14,961
And then keep this train moving.

168
00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:18,465
Let's go all the way 
over to the left, aw yeah.

169
00:08:18,465 --> 00:08:21,434
Inhale, look forward,
open the chest.

170
00:08:21,434 --> 00:08:23,503
Find extension.
Exhale, contract,

171
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:26,306
navel draws in, chin tucks.

172
00:08:27,574 --> 00:08:29,956
Sweet, and then release 
by bringing fingertips all

173
00:08:29,956 --> 00:08:32,946
the way up towards 
the sky, big breath in.

174
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:34,814
Exhale, fingertips float down.

175
00:08:35,789 --> 00:08:37,450
Awesome work.

176
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:42,122
Alright, from here, we're
gonna slowly come to a seat.

177
00:08:42,122 --> 00:08:44,891
So lean back on your bum.

178
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:47,093
Bring your 
knees up into the sky,

179
00:08:47,093 --> 00:08:49,062
bring your hands 
behind your thighs.

180
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:50,363
Loop the shoulders,
lift your heart.

181
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:53,867
Inhale in, exhale, don't think, 
just breathe, lean back.

182
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,070
Toes can stay on the ground.

183
00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:00,340
Inhale in.
Exhale, lift your heart.

184
00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:04,077
Shoulders drop and one 
more time, big breath in.

185
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:06,146
Send that breath down 
into the belly, inhale.

186
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:09,215
Exhale, maybe the shins lift.

187
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:12,886
Good, try to keep 
your elbows hugging in.

188
00:09:12,886 --> 00:09:15,455
So your shoulder blades 
can wrap down and around.

189
00:09:15,455 --> 00:09:17,357
Down and around, yes.

190
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:18,792
Inhale in again.

191
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:22,195
Exhale, maybe you release the 
fingertips, palms face up.

192
00:09:22,195 --> 00:09:23,096
Inhale in again.

193
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:25,932
You never know, exhale, maybe
you straighten the legs.

194
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:27,600
Lift your heart.

195
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,070
Armpit chest lifting here,
heart's lifting.

196
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:33,006
Elbow creases towards 
the sky for three, two.

197
00:09:33,006 --> 00:09:35,041
On the one, slowly release.

198
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:37,544
Come through to all fours.

199
00:09:37,544 --> 00:09:39,946
Knees underneath the hips,
wrists underneath the shoulders.

200
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:42,816
Just one Cat-Cow here, so drop
the belly, open the chest.

201
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:46,719
Exhale, round through 
the spine, chin to chest.

202
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,890
Good, cross one 
ankle over the other.

203
00:09:50,890 --> 00:09:52,358
You're gonna paint 
your yoga mat with your mat

204
00:09:52,358 --> 00:09:54,527
as you come back all 
the way through to a seat

205
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:57,564
and then all the 
way to your back.

206
00:09:57,564 --> 00:10:00,033
And when you land on your back,
go ahead and center yourself

207
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:02,124
on your yoga 
mat if you have one.

208
00:10:02,124 --> 00:10:07,120
And then I'll invite us all to
hug the knees into the chest.

209
00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:13,379
So I'll meet you here.

210
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:14,747
You can take a 
couple breaths here

211
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:17,317
to rock gently side to side.

212
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:19,752
Little low back love here as
you scoop the tailbone up.

213
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:21,654
Keep your shoulders 
relaxed, elbows.

214
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:25,191
Lots of awareness and the elbows
drawing down perhaps here.

215
00:10:25,191 --> 00:10:26,860
Little awareness in the feet.

216
00:10:28,361 --> 00:10:31,831
Inhale in. Exhale, draw 
your nose towards your knees.

217
00:10:31,831 --> 00:10:33,333
Doesn't matter if 
your nose comes close

218
00:10:33,333 --> 00:10:34,834
to your knees at all.

219
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:37,904
Just find that intention,

220
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:40,974
so really squeezing, 
squeezing and squeezing.

221
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,109
Option to grab the outer edges

222
00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:44,777
of the feet, 
keep breathing here.

223
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:50,583
And then when 
you're ready, slowly release.

224
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:52,352
Hold onto your right shin,

225
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:54,120
kick your left 
leg all the way out.

226
00:10:55,889 --> 00:10:58,124
Inhale in deeply here.

227
00:10:58,124 --> 00:11:01,194
Exhale, peel your nose 
up towards your right knee.

228
00:11:05,265 --> 00:11:09,369
Keep breathing, strong 
left leg, flex your left toes.

229
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:14,407
Good, and then slowly release.

230
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:16,009
We're gonna switch, 
send the right leg out,

231
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,977
bring the left knee up,
inhale in.

232
00:11:19,379 --> 00:11:22,282
Exhale, nose toward the knee.

233
00:11:22,282 --> 00:11:24,617
Breathe here, strong right leg.

234
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:28,821
Shoulders relaxed, 
skin in the face soft.

235
00:11:33,259 --> 00:11:34,761
Good, slowly release.

236
00:11:34,761 --> 00:11:36,663
Switch, right leg comes back up.

237
00:11:36,663 --> 00:11:39,299
Inhale in. Exhale, 
right knee crosses over

238
00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:40,533
the left side of the body.

239
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,569
You can even shift 
your hips to the right side

240
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:46,205
of your mat as you 
come into this Supine Twist.

241
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:50,209
Send your right arm out long,
use the palm of your left hand

242
00:11:50,209 --> 00:11:54,277
to gently comb the 
outer edge of your right thigh

243
00:11:54,277 --> 00:11:58,151
that IT band all the way down.
The power of touch.

244
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:02,922
And maybe gently 
turn onto your right ear,

245
00:12:02,922 --> 00:12:04,090
find that directional breath

246
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:05,959
here breathing 
down to the belly.

247
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,879
You gotta bring the breath,
you got this.

248
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,639
The more depth of breath you
can find in this practice,

249
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:23,476
the more benefits I think 
you're going to experience.

250
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,411
So think of it that way,
my darling.

251
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:27,914
When you're ready,

252
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:30,850
let's come back 
through to center and switch.

253
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:33,786
Take it to the other side,
extending the right leg out,

254
00:12:33,786 --> 00:12:36,356
lifting the left 
knee up and taking it over

255
00:12:36,356 --> 00:12:37,357
into your Supine Twist.

256
00:12:37,357 --> 00:12:39,225
Again, option to 
bring the hips over towards

257
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:40,460
the left side of the mat.

258
00:12:41,461 --> 00:12:44,163
Then we'll extend 
through the left arm.

259
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:48,034
Maybe you come onto 
your left ear, breathe deep.

260
00:12:48,034 --> 00:12:50,570
Oh, my mid-back 
is a bit tight today.

261
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:52,105
And then use your right hand

262
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:55,975
to gently comb the outer
edge of your left thigh down.

263
00:12:57,310 --> 00:13:00,713
Nice, deep, loving 
breaths here, you got this.

264
00:13:05,685 --> 00:13:10,735
Notice how the 
breath, in particular,

265
00:13:10,735 --> 00:13:12,025
the depth of breath,

266
00:13:12,025 --> 00:13:14,394
notice how that can 
change your experience

267
00:13:14,394 --> 00:13:16,496
and the way you 
feel in this shape.

268
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:21,267
Even just three deep breaths
can change it, change it all.

269
00:13:24,337 --> 00:13:28,274
I can even hear my 
stomach talking in this shape.

270
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:29,442
It's working!

271
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:30,710
Okay, one more breath.

272
00:13:32,178 --> 00:13:34,614
Come back to center,
hug both knees up

273
00:13:34,614 --> 00:13:36,215
into the chest once again.

274
00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:39,652
This time we're gonna 
take them wide, nice and wide.

275
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:42,689
Knees wide, squeezing, lifting,
breathing into the belly.

276
00:13:45,725 --> 00:13:47,794
If you wanna take a 
Happy Baby here, you can.

277
00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:51,197
Grab the outer edges of 
the feet or the inner arches,

278
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:54,167
kick the soles of the 
feet up towards the sky.

279
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,737
Deep breath in, long 
breath out as you reach

280
00:13:57,737 --> 00:14:00,192
your tailbone towards 
the front edge of your mat.

281
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:05,745
Nice, and then slowly bring
the soles of the feet down

282
00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:08,557
to the ground, 
hands come to the earth

283
00:14:08,557 --> 00:14:11,934
to walk your heels up 
towards your sits bones.

284
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:15,254
Feet are nice and hip-width
apart, toes pointing forward.

285
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:17,990
Inhale to lift the 
hip points up high.

286
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:22,361
Breathe into the belly, crawl
the shoulder blades down

287
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:27,233
towards your heels and 
exhale slowly to lower.

288
00:14:27,634 --> 00:14:28,634
Good.

289
00:14:28,634 --> 00:14:30,436
From here, we're 
gonna walk the feet

290
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:31,704
as wide as the yoga mat,

291
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:33,573
knees come into touch,

292
00:14:33,573 --> 00:14:35,808
soften through 
the bowl of the pelvis

293
00:14:35,808 --> 00:14:37,543
and bring your 
hands to your belly.

294
00:14:38,845 --> 00:14:43,583
Slow and steady clockwise
circles rubbing the belly nice

295
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:45,284
and slow, breathing deep.

296
00:14:45,284 --> 00:14:48,154
If you have not caught a nice,
deep breath yet,

297
00:14:48,154 --> 00:14:49,722
do it for yourself now.

298
00:14:56,662 --> 00:15:01,100
And then stop, pause, 
relax everything here.

299
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,735
Knees are kissing 
towards each other,

300
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:05,238
elbows are relaxed on the
ground, shoulders are relaxed.

301
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:08,641
Close your eyes and just
listen, listen to your breath.

302
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,777
Learn to take more time

303
00:15:10,777 --> 00:15:14,147
to listen to your guts,
your intuition.

304
00:15:15,314 --> 00:15:16,616
It's all connected.

305
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:31,531
And then just pay attention,
notice what came up here.

306
00:15:31,531 --> 00:15:33,499
There's no right or wrong.

307
00:15:33,499 --> 00:15:36,569
We're gonna open the knees wide,
lift the heels, lift the feet.

308
00:15:36,569 --> 00:15:37,937
Cross one ankle over the other,

309
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:41,274
grab the outer edges of 
the feet or your big toes.

310
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:44,177
We're gonna rock and 
roll up and down the length

311
00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:45,763
of the spine here.

312
00:15:45,763 --> 00:15:47,613
Should feel really good.

313
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:51,117
Come back up to that nice,
comfortable seat.

314
00:15:54,053 --> 00:15:55,721
Voice cracked.

315
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:56,856
Hands on the knees,

316
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:58,491
we're gonna finish 
with a coffee grinder.

317
00:15:58,491 --> 00:16:01,994
Here we go, inhale, 
smoothing the heart forward.

318
00:16:01,994 --> 00:16:05,565
Exhale, round the spine,
send it back.

319
00:16:05,565 --> 00:16:09,635
Inhale, forward.
Exhale, round the back,

320
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:11,337
getting the juices flowing here.

321
00:16:11,337 --> 00:16:14,674
So, some of you 
may not know (laughs)

322
00:16:14,674 --> 00:16:18,945
what those old-fashion 
coffee grinders look like,

323
00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:20,980
but they look like this.

324
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:22,752
And you turn the 
handle and you grind

325
00:16:22,752 --> 00:16:28,020
the coffee down below and then
you open the little drawer

326
00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:30,389
and your coffee's there for you.

327
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:32,558
If you do know 
what I'm talking about,

328
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:36,729
awesome, if not, 
you can imagine it.

329
00:16:37,930 --> 00:16:39,298
Reverse your circle.

330
00:16:40,766 --> 00:16:42,086
Sync up with your breath.

331
00:16:46,906 --> 00:16:48,441
Alright, let your 
circle get smaller

332
00:16:48,441 --> 00:16:49,909
and smaller and smaller here.

333
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:55,057
Smaller and smaller and
smaller and smaller and smaller

334
00:16:55,057 --> 00:16:56,716
and smaller until eventually

335
00:16:56,716 --> 00:16:59,619
you are stacked head 
over heart, heart over pelvis.

336
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:04,957
Sweet, bring the palms together,
Anjuli Mudra at the heart.

337
00:17:06,459 --> 00:17:08,227
Sit up nice and tall once again.

338
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,330
Inhale in deeply.

339
00:17:12,265 --> 00:17:13,799
Nice, cleansing 
breath out through the mouth

340
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:15,735
as you relax the shoulders down.

341
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:19,839
Thank you so much 
for sharing your time

342
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,242
and your energy with me 
and with Benji here today.

343
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:25,244
I hope this 
practice serves you well.

344
00:17:25,244 --> 00:17:27,914
Bookmark it, favorite it,
make a mental note.
