00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,429
hello everyone and welcome to yoga with

2
00:00:02,429 --> 00:00:04,470
Adriene I'm Adriene and today we're

3
00:00:04,470 --> 00:00:06,060
going to continue our Yoga for weight

4
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:10,170
loss series with a core check in so

5
00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:23,340
let's hop on the max ok so we're going

6
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:27,210
to begin on all fours I can take a

7
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:29,070
second here to do a couple cat-cows

8
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:31,349
which we have a video for and I actually

9
00:00:31,349 --> 00:00:33,719
recommend just doing a couple maybe a

10
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:35,700
lot of cat-cow so check in with the

11
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,440
spine I've already done my cat cows for

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,390
today so I'm ready to rock and roll so

13
00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:41,070
we'll do a little warm-up of cat cow in

14
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:42,899
the spine I'm going to check in with my

15
00:00:42,899 --> 00:00:45,059
tabletop position which is wrists

16
00:00:45,059 --> 00:00:47,329
directly underneath the shoulders knees

17
00:00:47,329 --> 00:00:51,510
directly underneath the hip points and

18
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:53,340
I'm going to press up and out of my

19
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,500
foundation so spread the palms nice and

20
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,870
wide press into the tops of the feet and

21
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:00,300
even begin to spread the toes so

22
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,039
whatever that means to you sometimes I

23
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:03,840
like to imagine pressing my pinky toe

24
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,210
down and even if that little baby pinky

25
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:09,570
toe in a baby pinky toe doesn't make it

26
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:10,710
to the ground at least I'm spreading

27
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:13,890
awareness really through all edges of

28
00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:16,140
the feet so you can see here right away

29
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:18,000
instead of collapsing into my bones here

30
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,490
I'm pressing up and out of my base my

31
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,009
foundation spreading my awareness

32
00:01:23,009 --> 00:01:25,259
through the palms pressing into the tops

33
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:25,799
of the feet

34
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,930
inhaling extend through the crown of the

35
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:30,000
head keep your gaze straight down so a

36
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,740
lot of times we associate this

37
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:34,290
integration with this all fours posture

38
00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:36,150
let's keep it straight down today nice

39
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:38,909
long neck integrating from the crown of

40
00:01:38,909 --> 00:01:40,320
the head to the tip of the tailbone so

41
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,329
we're not letting them neck hang low and

42
00:01:42,329 --> 00:01:45,030
we're not crunching it ahead but nice

43
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:46,560
and straight letting the back of the

44
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,670
neck get a little sunshine okay inhale

45
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:53,100
in as you exhale press into the tops of

46
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,439
the feet lift the knees nothing big here

47
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,899
just a little hover already my inner

48
00:01:57,899 --> 00:02:00,899
fire that Agni that fire is lit up

49
00:02:00,899 --> 00:02:02,369
burning here tops of the shoulders

50
00:02:02,369 --> 00:02:03,930
drawing away from the ears long

51
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:06,840
beautiful neck inhale in exhale rest

52
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,360
come down and you might have already

53
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,949
just noticed a little shake in the body

54
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:11,760
a little

55
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,560
pronto moving there that's what I'm

56
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,110
talkin about my friends waking up not

57
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:18,329
just the abdominal wall the six-pack the

58
00:02:18,329 --> 00:02:21,209
Coors but the full core integrating full

59
00:02:21,209 --> 00:02:23,610
body experience two more times like this

60
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,250
inhale in exhale shoot just let the

61
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,079
knees hover and really this isn't about

62
00:02:28,079 --> 00:02:30,209
mastering a pose this is about just

63
00:02:30,209 --> 00:02:31,799
checking in because when you lift those

64
00:02:31,799 --> 00:02:33,420
knees even just half an inch for half a

65
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:35,340
second you're going to understand what

66
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:36,000
I'm talking about

67
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,680
if we're collapsing into the bones it's

68
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,000
going to be painful we have to empower

69
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,890
ourselves press up and out of the base

70
00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:42,540
then we'll release the knees back down

71
00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:44,519
check in we can even send it back for an

72
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:46,250
extended Child's Pose

73
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:49,019
and then we come back up for the third

74
00:02:49,019 --> 00:02:51,780
time just checking in inhale in extend

75
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:54,030
through the crown of the head exhale

76
00:02:54,030 --> 00:02:56,900
press on the tops of the feet lift up

77
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,970
let it hover just check in and again if

78
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:01,769
you feel that shake here smile breathe

79
00:03:01,769 --> 00:03:03,690
keep the skin of the face nice and soft

80
00:03:03,690 --> 00:03:07,769
and the way relax back down again we can

81
00:03:07,769 --> 00:03:09,720
send it back extended Child's Pose just

82
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,909
to alleviate a little pressure off the

83
00:03:11,909 --> 00:03:14,280
hands and the wrists and just check in

84
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:20,790
with the breath we'll take a nice sweet

85
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:23,040
breath in transition back to all fours

86
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,919
okay ready for our cat cow variations

87
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,949
mm-hmm pressing up and out of my

88
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:30,930
foundation my tabletop position i'm

89
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:34,129
going to again check in with that that

90
00:03:34,129 --> 00:03:36,269
sensation that i had here when the knees

91
00:03:36,269 --> 00:03:38,129
were lifted pressing up and out of the

92
00:03:38,129 --> 00:03:38,579
earth

93
00:03:38,579 --> 00:03:40,859
so no collapsing I think I've said that

94
00:03:40,859 --> 00:03:42,660
a million times now okay so hopefully no

95
00:03:42,660 --> 00:03:44,579
one's collapsing but I just don't want

96
00:03:44,579 --> 00:03:46,250
your joints to have that undue pressure

97
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:48,269
so I'm pressing into the tops of the

98
00:03:48,269 --> 00:03:49,739
feet pressing up and out of the palms

99
00:03:49,739 --> 00:03:51,660
I'm going to inhale first I'm going to

100
00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:56,220
extend my left toes out now my weights

101
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:57,449
going to want to shift to the right side

102
00:03:57,449 --> 00:03:58,829
of the body but I'm going to try to keep

103
00:03:58,829 --> 00:03:59,340
it even

104
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:01,949
so my midline still in line with the

105
00:04:01,949 --> 00:04:04,590
spine of my mat toes facing down here

106
00:04:04,590 --> 00:04:05,790
you can press into the heel you can

107
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:06,510
point the toes

108
00:04:06,510 --> 00:04:09,690
a couple times but I want just the top

109
00:04:09,690 --> 00:04:11,760
of the thighbone to be parallel to the

110
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,620
earth pressing up and out of the palms

111
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,299
taking some of that weight out of my

112
00:04:15,299 --> 00:04:17,909
wrists I'm going to inhale in and slowly

113
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:19,858
draw my right fingertips towards the

114
00:04:19,858 --> 00:04:21,690
front of the room so now I have a little

115
00:04:21,690 --> 00:04:23,520
Yoga for the brain here my right

116
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,260
fingertips are extending

117
00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:27,840
as my left toes my left leg is extending

118
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,410
long inhale pull the right shoulder into

119
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:33,300
socket here nice and gentle lots of

120
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,040
space between the ears and shoulders I

121
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200
can spread my fingers spread my toes

122
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,320
just for a little awareness inhale and

123
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,240
draw your navel towards your spine level

124
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,070
out breathe one more nice long breath

125
00:04:47,070 --> 00:04:49,860
here hang with me and then on an exhale

126
00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:51,870
gently with ease so we don't just

127
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:53,960
collapse we got this we got control

128
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,380
we're in charge as we relax back down

129
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,400
shifting the weight to the opposite side

130
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,360
now here we go

131
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,280
inhale we're jumping right into both

132
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,490
limbs this time left fingertips and

133
00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:08,670
right toes extend pressing into the top

134
00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:10,500
of that back foot strong pressing up and

135
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:12,450
out of my right palm I lift from there

136
00:05:12,450 --> 00:05:14,400
so I'm not just cranking my limbs up and

137
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200
then letting the body follow core

138
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,180
integration here extending from the

139
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:21,060
crown of the head leveling that right

140
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:23,130
hip here reaching left fingertips

141
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:23,850
forward

142
00:05:23,850 --> 00:05:28,140
and then pulling that shoulder in inhale

143
00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:31,140
lifting the heart the belly up pressing

144
00:05:31,140 --> 00:05:32,820
up and out of the foundation rather than

145
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:35,760
collapsing into my bones we hold here

146
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,110
for a couple breaths rather than giving

147
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:39,420
you a number of breaths to hold here I

148
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:42,200

151
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,560
bringing the two big toes together

152
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,970

smile and exhale send it back again

155
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:04,680
rather than giving you a number count of

156
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,400
breaths here

157
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,580
take a rest just breathe enjoy we can

158
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:10,860
turn the palms face up we can bring the

159
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:12,840
palms together and up and overhead this

160
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,720
is nice you can rock my belly my ribcage

161
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,800
side to side hips checking in and again

162
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,780
let your mind be at ease don't worry

163
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:23,520
about doing it right or wrong but just

164
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,969
take a rest

165
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560
when you feel satisfied with your rest

166
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,389
hopefully you didn't fall asleep but if

167
00:06:35,389 --> 00:06:37,490
you did rest well when you get up will

168
00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:41,600
inhale come back up to all fours and now

169
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,130
we're going to go into a flow bringing a

170
00:06:43,130 --> 00:06:44,950
little more into the abdominal wall

171
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:47,180
pressing up and out of my tabletop

172
00:06:47,180 --> 00:06:48,440

00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:55,430
reaching front to back integrating full

176
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:56,960
core though here so I'm still drawing up

177
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,220
through my navel just as I did in my

178
00:06:58,220 --> 00:07:00,050
balancing posture but this time I'm

179
00:07:00,050 --> 00:07:02,270
going to inhale draw a line with my nose

180
00:07:02,270 --> 00:07:05,900

here as I draw everything in and up

186
00:07:15,650 --> 00:07:18,889
towards my Center and we'll said towards

187
00:07:18,889 --> 00:07:20,300
my core but we're talking about full

188
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:22,970
body core here then inhale extending it

189
00:07:22,970 --> 00:07:25,180

192
00:07:32,510 --> 00:07:36,350
it in with control with breath pressing

193
00:07:36,350 --> 00:07:37,789
up and out of your foundation draw the

194
00:07:37,789 --> 00:07:39,560
navel up towards the spine nose to knee

195
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,380

197
00:08:00,810 --> 00:08:03,390
no number count today just moving with

198
00:08:03,390 --> 00:08:06,090
the breath so you find your groove

199
00:08:06,090 --> 00:08:11,310

200
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:13,740
this side well inhale extend on your

201
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:15,630

202
00:08:15,630 --> 00:08:18,740
breath taking a full breath cycle here

203
00:08:18,740 --> 00:08:21,480
integrating full body experience and

204
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,850
then on the exhale coming back to

205
00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:26,130
tabletop you can send it back extended

206
00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:28,050
Child's Pose here for a rest but we're

207
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:29,280
going to go straight into the other side

208
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:35,309
here so shifting my weight mind and body

209
00:08:35,309 --> 00:08:36,750
working together here with the breath

210
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:38,880
here we go inhale extending left

211
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,219
fingertips and right toes this time so

212
00:08:41,219 --> 00:08:43,380
I'm working in opposition here I can tec

213
00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:45,060
take a second here to integrate that

214
00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:47,280
shoulder that hip my navel pressing up

215
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,140
and out of my foundation again the

216
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:50,850
tendency is going to let go of the hand

217
00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:53,310
here in the foot use that Mother Earth

218
00:08:53,310 --> 00:08:56,400
plug-in send it up and out and when

219
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:56,820
you're ready

220
00:08:56,820 --> 00:09:00,750
moving into the flow inhale and exhale

221
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:08,040
lots of space inhale lots of space when

222
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,750
I say lots of space I mean we're moving

223
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:11,700
in an integrated way so my nose is kind

224
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,800
of following my fingertips here but

225
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,780
nothing's crunching doing everything

226
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:19,970
with a an awareness

227
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:43,150
no number count today on my last one

228
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:45,400
whenever I feel satisfied I'll hold for

229
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:53,590
one breath cycle here inhale in and on

230
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:56,740
an exhale back to all fours kiss those

231
00:09:56,740 --> 00:09:59,700
two big toes together my Valentines Day

232
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,350
but we can kiss any day any days love

233
00:10:02,350 --> 00:10:05,380
day right spread the knees wide and then

234
00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:05,950
send it back

235
00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:11,400
crest extended Child's Pose for non

236
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,650
bowing to the beloved playing a little

237
00:10:14,650 --> 00:10:24,880
piano here hmm and breathe all right so

238
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,110
that was a great check in with the core

239
00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:28,480
we can repeat the sequence another time

240
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,070
on each side or two more times on each

241
00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:32,800
side as many times as you want we can

242
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,750
also use this as a warm-up for a longer

243
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:36,550
sequence such as our Yoga for weight

244
00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:38,230
loss reuniting with your core video

245
00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:40,120
which is a little bit longer so you can

246
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,400
do it on its own repeat or use it as a

247
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,890
warm-up for a longer practice if you
