1 00:00:00,701 --> 00:00:01,635 - What's up party people 2 00:00:01,635 --> 00:00:02,969 and welcome to Yoga with Adriene. 3 00:00:02,969 --> 00:00:05,138 I'm Adriene and this is Benji. 4 00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:07,841 And today we have yoga for manual labor. 5 00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:09,510 So this is going to be a great practice for anyone 6 00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,679 who uses their body a lot throughout the day. 7 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,648 This is also a really great one if you just need 8 00:00:14,648 --> 00:00:17,150 some stretch and chill and some restores. 9 00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:19,186 This is a great one to wind down. 10 00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:22,883 So hop into something comfy and let's get started. 11 00:00:22,883 --> 00:00:26,226 (upbeat music) 12 00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:40,300 Alright my darlin', let's begin laying down, yay (laughs). 13 00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:44,845 Take your time, getting all down to the ground. 14 00:00:44,845 --> 00:00:47,381 Get down nice and low 15 00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:49,716 and we're gonna bring the feet as wide as your mat 16 00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:52,252 and allow the knees to fall into center. 17 00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:53,287 A lot of you have done this before 18 00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:55,689 but if you haven't, you want to get a point 19 00:00:55,689 --> 00:00:57,024 where you can relax. 20 00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:58,625 You don't have to hold your legs up 21 00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:00,594 so you can really let go. 22 00:01:00,594 --> 00:01:04,531 The femur kind of comes and snuggles into 23 00:01:04,531 --> 00:01:06,733 its place here and you might even start to feel 24 00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:10,871 little stretch through the tops of the thighs already. 25 00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:14,474 And then I hope you have your shoes off by now, 26 00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:19,046 you hard worker, but if you can also take your socks off 27 00:01:19,046 --> 00:01:21,281 today it might be a good idea to really just allow 28 00:01:21,281 --> 00:01:25,052 your feet to breathe and be barefoot. 29 00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:27,988 Alright gently but physically press into your head, 30 00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:29,923 lift your chest up off the ground 31 00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:33,660 and then we're gonna just draw the shoulder blades in 32 00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:35,228 and down so we're not gonna force anything 33 00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:37,331 but we just want to create a little space. 34 00:01:37,331 --> 00:01:38,899 So we don't focus right or wrong here. 35 00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:40,367 Just create space. 36 00:01:40,367 --> 00:01:42,469 And then allow your hands to fall where everything 37 00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:44,571 naturally falls, that feels really good. 38 00:01:44,571 --> 00:01:46,673 So it could be cactus arms. 39 00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:49,476 It could just be blah to the side, hah, 40 00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:52,212 could be down at your sides. 41 00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,816 So I want you to just really come into a place 42 00:01:55,816 --> 00:01:59,920 where you can start to relax and let go. 43 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,655 (inhales) 44 00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:04,491 And if you are really low on energy, its okay. 45 00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:06,467 You'll just make do with what you've got 46 00:02:06,467 --> 00:02:08,729 but try to just focus on being present instead 47 00:02:08,729 --> 00:02:12,232 of I don't know if this was the right video or this and that. 48 00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:13,500 It's all good. 49 00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:16,336 I think this time is valuable no matter how you put it. 50 00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:18,205 So tuck your chin into your chest, 51 00:02:18,205 --> 00:02:19,673 take a deep breathe in. 52 00:02:19,673 --> 00:02:21,742 (inhales) 53 00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:25,445 And use this big old exhale to just arrive here now. 54 00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:28,281 (exhales noisily) 55 00:02:30,183 --> 00:02:32,252 So whatever it is you do, 56 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,024 with your body with your spirit and your focus, 57 00:02:37,924 --> 00:02:41,795 let's use this time to counter all that great work, 58 00:02:41,795 --> 00:02:44,342 hard work and restore. 59 00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:51,738 Close your eyes and notice your breath. 60 00:02:53,073 --> 00:02:56,910 See if you can take longer inhales (inhales) 61 00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:59,613 and see if you can extend the exhales to be a little longer, 62 00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:00,447 a little smoother. 63 00:03:00,447 --> 00:03:03,784 Again if you get sleepy, weepy here that's all good. 64 00:03:03,784 --> 00:03:08,121 Let's just see what happens staying in the moment. 65 00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:12,125 You don't have to perform or meet any task here. 66 00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:15,516 Just use your breath (exhales noisily) 67 00:03:15,516 --> 00:03:17,898 to enjoy the ride. 68 00:03:17,898 --> 00:03:19,132 Keep the feet where they are. 69 00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:22,402 We're gonna bring both knees over to the left. 70 00:03:22,402 --> 00:03:23,470 (inhales) 71 00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:25,906 You'll start to feel a deeper stretch in the top 72 00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:29,042 of the right thigh, stretch through the psoas here 73 00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:32,079 as you reach your right knee towards the front left corner 74 00:03:32,079 -->

00:04:01,675 --> 00:04:02,876 one moving part. 87 00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,578 This awareness will help you in your job 88 00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:05,579 whatever it is you do 89 00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:09,916 and then take it over to the other side, nice and slow, 90 00:04:09,916 --> 00:04:13,353 experiencing ah what it feels like to take the knees 91 00:04:13,353 --> 00:04:17,257 to the

up (breathing noisily). 203 00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:18,525 Breathing deep (breathing noisily). 204 00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:21,961 And then we'll release. 205 00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:25,465 Awesome both feet come to the ground here, Bridge Pose. 206 00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:28,101 We're gonna send the toes towards, 207 00:09:28,101 --> 00:09:29,169 point the toes towards the front 208 00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:31,404 and you're gonna walk the heels up towards your fingers 209 00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,540 and then you're gonna imagine you're squeezing 210 00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:36,309 an imaginary ball between your thighs 211 00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:37,811 so there's a little bit of engagement here 212 00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:40,914 as you life the tailbone, slowly up, 213 00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:44,217 and slow and steady hips lift up. 214 00:09:44,217 --> 00:09:47,620 We reach the glutes towards the back so that 215 00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:51,891 the knees sorry, getting really in the

really helpful to do the 219 00:09:58,498 --> 00:10:01,267 movements and talk but then once you really 220 00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:05,004 train yourself and practice as a teacher to 221 00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:08,441 guide people and just really guide them with your voice 222 00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:11,311 its hard to actually do both at the same time. 223 00:10:11,311 --> 00:10:12,178 (inhales)

00:10:17,016 --> 00:10:18,618 You don't have to power up and squeeze the glutes 228 00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,186 like you would in gym class. 229 00:10:20,186 --> 00:10:20,987 Just slow and steady. 230 00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:23,423 Let it be about the articulation of the spine 231 00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:25,391 as you press into all four corners of the feet, 232 00:10:25,391 --> 00:10:29,963 lift the tailbone and slowly make your way all the way up. 233 00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,065 Lift the chest more towards the chin 234 00:10:32,065 --> 00:10:35,668 and then lift your chin up towards the sky. 235 00:10:36,546 --> 00:10:39,539 Inhale in, imagine that ball or that block between 236 00:10:39,539 --> 00:10:43,381 your thighs and then slow and steady, 237 00:10:43,381 --> 00:10:48,308 articulate and gentle release. 238 00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:51,732 Yes! 239 00:10:53,686 --> 00:10:57,423 One more time, inhale, lift the tail bone up. 240 00:10:57,423 --> 00:10:58,335 (inhales noisily) 241 00:10:58,335 --> 00:10:59,559 Yogis, try this time, 242 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,960 if you want to interlace the fingertips 243 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,897 behind you, walk the shoulder blades underneath, 244 00:11:03,897 --> 00:11:05,932 find your bind. 245 00:11:05,932 --> 00:11:07,267 Lift and squeeze 246 00:11:08,701 --> 00:11:11,204 and maybe chest to chin 247

allow the knees to slowly open (inhales) 254 00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:35,795 bring your hands to your belly 255 00:11:35,795 --> 00:11:39,098 and close your eyes and just take a couple of solid breaths. 256 00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:40,033 In and out. 257 00:11:41,834 --> 00:11:44,837 (breathing noisily) 258 00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:57,083 Cool, we're gonna slowly turn to one side 259 00:11:57,083 -->

the legs out long. 262 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,896 Oh yeah feel the blood flow here. 263 00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:13,199 If you need to lift your hips on something 264 00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:16,002 you can just make it a little bit easier to sit up 265 00:12:16,002 --> 00:12:17,170 nice and tall. 266 00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:20,773 And then when you get there, you're gonna lift the knees 267 00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:22,475 just a little bit so that you can dig the heels into 268 00:12:22,475 --> 00:12:24,877 the ground and we're gonna inhale reach for the sky 269 00:12:24,877 -->

with the breath 272 00:12:34,554 --> 00:12:37,757 and the back (inhales) send breath into your back 273 00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:40,393 but you should literally be able to feel your breath, 274 00:12:40,393 --> 00:12:43,596 stretch the skin of your back here. 275 00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:45,164 And once if you like you got the ticket 276 00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:47,600 you can of course take your gaze away from the video 277 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,071 and bring your head toward the middle of your legs. 278 00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:55,975 If it doesn't make it, no problemo, no problem. 279 00:12:56,943 --> 00:12:59,746 See if you can use your breaths to create more space. 280 00:12:59,746 --> 00:13:03,916 I said breath, it sounded like breast but I meant breath. 281 00:13:05,551 --> 00:13:07,153 Relax the shoulder. 282 00:13:09,188 --> 00:13:11,924 And then in your own time, if it's right for your body today 283 00:13:11,924 --> 00:13:14,994 so I wanted to serve you today for

00:13:21,334 that would feel really great, 287 00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:23,569 then lets ditch it today, but you can try to 288 00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:25,271 straighten the legs. 289 00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:28,274 (breathing noisily) 290 00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:32,445 And just keep listening, what feels good, what serves. 291 00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:36,382 (breathing noisily) 292 00:13:40,086 -->

00:15:29,362 on the other side but just check in 328 00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:31,030 and stretch the shoulders. 329 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:32,665 We are also stretching through the forearms 330

more in alignment 345 00:16:21,514 --> 00:16:24,851 by coming forward and then sitting back. 346 00:16:28,621 --> 00:16:31,657 And then I'm really suggesting that you just stay upright 347 00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:33,426 but if you want to come forward, of course you can 348 00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:35,294 but find a little opposition. 349 00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:37,463 So even though we want to enjoy the stretch 350 00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:40,166 and the restorative aspect of this, 351 00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,667 we have to stay a little active. 352 00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,637 So

00:16:52,545 --> 00:16:55,548 (breathing noisily) 356 00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:04,957 Awesome, awesome, now inhale reach for the sky. 357 00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:07,926 (inhales) Exhale you're gonna take

other side of the legs. 364 00:17:20,906 --> 00:17:22,808 Now you should have the left leg on top. 365 00:17:22,808 --> 00:17:25,912 You'll make your same adjustments by coming forward 366 00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:28,013 to get the knees together. 367 00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:29,582 And then sending it back. 368 00:17:29,582 --> 00:17:32,318 Same thing, definitely acknowledge 369
