00:01:19,800 Just find a gentle bow, 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,050 kind of a bit of reverence here in the beginning 24 00:01:22,050 --> 00:01:26,600 as we find a nice deep breath in. 25 00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:30,394 And a long breath out. 26 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:35,440 Getting in the habit of landing here in the moment, 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,770 just as we established yesterday, 28 00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:41,470 with whatever you got. 29 00:01:41,470 --> 00:01:45,683 So, there's no prerequisite, no expectation. 30 00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:55,190 Just allowing the mere 31 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:56,500 act of showing up 32 00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:00,143 to guide us into the next moment, 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,372 to open 34 00:02:05,201 --> 00:02:08,347 a new door or a new window 35 00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,020 into the next present moment 36 00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:13,620 and into the next present moment. 37 00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:14,850 So, you don't have to get too worried 38 00:02:14,850 --> 00:02:16,560 about kind of where we're going 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,150 or what you're supposed to be doing, 40 00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:24,150 allow yourself to be present here. 41 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:26,053 And then of course, we'll use 42 00:02:26,053 --> 00:02:30,545 the most amazing tool of the breath to 43 00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:36,890 help guide us there. 44 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:38,963 So, inhale in deeply. 45 00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:42,180 Exhale completely, release the hands. 46 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:44,573 Come forward onto all fours. 47 00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:49,120 Spread the fingertips wide, 48 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,110 wrists underneath the shoulders 49 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:53,270 and maybe even a little bit wider today. 50 00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:56,320 So, keep playing, knees underneath the hip points, 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,710 or maybe even just a tad wider today. 52 00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:03,300 Take a second and look at Benji on the screen. 53 00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:06,130 He's leaning his head up against the sill, oh my gosh. 54 00:03:06,130 --> 00:03:08,260 Okay, now bring your gaze back down 55 00:03:08,260 --> 00:03:10,060 and let's find the breath together again. 56 00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:12,620 Inhale, moving the spine. 57 00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:16,403 So, drop the belly, open your heart, look forward. 58 00:03:17,450 --> 00:03:19,190 Exhale, round the spine. 59 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:21,350 Think about opening the back body here 60 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:22,773 as you draw the navel up. 61 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,050 Inhale, open the heart forward. 62 00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:29,470 Feel that stretch through the belly. 63 00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:32,570 Exhale round through the spine. 64 00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:36,080 Navel draws up, we open through the back body. 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,280 One more time, inhale, opening through the front body. 66 00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:44,250 And exhale, rounding through the spine, 67 00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:46,257 opening through the back body. 68 00:03:47,540 --> 00:03:52,540 Inhale to a nice neutral spine, this Tabletop Position. 69 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,630 Good, then we're gonna bump the hips to the left. 70 00:03:56,630 --> 00:04:00,060 Turn your gaze to look past your right shoulders 71 00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:02,390 in our opening up through the left side body. 72 00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:04,370 And if you're into it, 73 00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:07,180 we're gonna take the left fingertips behind the left ear 74 00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:11,330 and just reach it beyond the front right corner of your mat. 75 00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:13,650 So, really opening up through that left side body, 76 00:04:13,650 --> 00:04:16,199 maybe lift your left thumb up just a bit. 77 00:04:17,570 --> 00:04:22,170 Inhale in. Use your exhale to melt it back to center 78 00:04:22,170 --> 00:04:24,700 and we'll switch. Bump the hips to the right, 79 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,220 turn slowly to look past your left shoulder, 80 00:04:27,220 --> 00:04:29,300 maybe towards your left toes. 81 00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,250 Feel that stretch in the right side body, 82 00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:35,900 that opening through the right waistline. 83 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:37,910 Then we can add the right hand if you like, 84 00:04:37,910 --> 00:04:39,840 right fingertips go behind the ear 85 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,460 and we reach beyond the front left corner of the mat. 86 00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:46,120 Let me be lifting the right thumb up, 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,330 breathe as you breathe and feel that opening 88 00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:52,530 in the right side body, right shoulder, 89 00:04:52,530 --> 00:04:55,890 and then slowly exhale to release. 90 00:04:55,890 --> 00:04:58,350 Great, drop the hands down. 91 00:04:58,350 --> 00:05:01,220 Excuse me, drop the elbows down where the hands are. 92 00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:03,690 Palms stay face down here. 93 00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:05,740 As we walk the knees back, 94 00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:07,470 opening up through the front body again, 95 00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:11,320 melting the heart towards the earth for a Puppy Posture 96 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,010 or Heart-to-Earth Pose, Anahatasan. 97 00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:17,290 So, take three to five breaths here. 98 00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:20,115 Maybe the head comes down to the ground, maybe not. 99 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,920 Lifting the hip creases actively up towards the sky, 100 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,830 drawing the navel in just a bit to engage the core, 101 00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:31,263 to support the back, to support the spine. 102 00:05:32,809 --> 00:05:35,170 And this is a big heart opener here. 103 00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:36,463 So, breathe deep. 104 00:05:37,310 --> 00:05:40,583 Press into your fingertips, press into the tops of the feet. 105 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:47,030 Lovely, slow and steady, 106 00:05:47,030 --> 00:05:50,210 carve a line with your nose forward, 107 00:05:50,210 --> 00:05:53,110 allow your heart to slowly shift forward, 108 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:55,770 shoulders over the elbows. 109 00:05:55,770 --> 00:05:57,600 Walk the toes back just a little bit 110 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,073 as we come into a Sphinx Posture here. 111 00:06:01,330 --> 00:06:03,620 Notice if the arms have moved here, 112 00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:05,423 bring them back to parallel. 113 00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:09,770 So, lots of attention to that which is touching the ground 114 00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:12,563 here in our asana, being really specific. 115 00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:17,180 Okay, and then we'll tuck the chin into the chest, 116 00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:19,130 press into your foundation, tops of the feet, 117 00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:23,210 pubic bone, elbows, knuckles, fingertips, 118 00:06:23,210 --> 00:06:25,570 and then we'll

of your neck, ooh, thank you. 128 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,330 And then coming back to center 129 00:06:55,330 --> 00:06:57,480 and taking it slowly to the other side. 130 00:06:57,480 -->

you slowly step the left foot forward 221 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,483 and gently bring the right knee to the ground. 222 00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:25,600 Again, stay here. 223 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,990 If you need to, this is where we are, right? 224 00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:31,590 Noticing we practiced yesterday being here, right? 225 00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:34,050 Not somewhere where we think we're supposed to be, 226 00:11:34,050 --> 00:11:37,120 but really practicing listening being here. 227 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,070 So, stay here if you like. 228 00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:40,760

00:11:47,350 And maybe we uncurl the back toes, 232 00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:49,020 we send the fingertips forward. 233 00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:51,430 We move from center as we reach, 234 00:11:51,430 --> 00:11:53,450 swim the arms around and reach behind, 235 00:11:53,450 --> 00:11:56,170 maybe opposite thumb on top of this time. 236 00:11:56,170 --> 00:12:00,070 So, a little bit different in this bind. 237 00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:00,903 Maybe opposite thumb 238 00:12:00,903 --> 00:12:03,090 on top of the one that feels a little wonky. 239 00:12:04,070 --> 00:12:07,573 Good stuff for the brain. Knuckles go down and away. 240 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,659 So, I know everyone knows this, but I think it's my job here 241 00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:19,290 to remind you to focus on what it feels like, 242 00:12:19,290 --> 00:12:21,510 not on what it looks like. 243 00:12:21,510 --> 00:12:22,850 Squeeze the inner thighs together. 244 00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:27,280 Find that support from within, drop the chin to the chest, 245 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,307 and when you're ready, then lift the chin to the sky. 246 00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:36,610 So, you're creating a nice strong base, making it yours. 247 00:12:38,070 --> 00:12:41,032 Nice, full, long, deep breaths. 248 00:12:44,860 --> 00:12:46,470 Then release the bind slowly, 249 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:48,700 send the fingertips forward, up and back. 250 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,550 Keep the chest lifted, heart lifted, 251 00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:54,590 navel drawing in and up, pelvic floor lifting. 252 00:12:54,590 --> 00:12:56,080 Good, then wiggle the fingertips 253 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,790 to slowly guide it back down to the mat, beautiful. 254 00:12:58,790 --> 00:13:00,300 Right hand comes to the earth. 255 00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:02,000 We lift up that back knee, 256 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,900 strong legs, building strength here each day 257 00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:06,733 with every breath, 258 00:13:06,733 --> 00:13:09,483 inhale, send the left fingertips up towards the sky. 259 00:13:11,050 --> 00:13:14,030 Pull the left hip crease back and then reach that right heel 260 00:13:14,030 --> 00:13:15,820 towards the back edge of your mat. 261 00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:16,653 Big twist here. 262 00:13:16,653 --> 00:13:20,030 So, big breath, inhale, wiggle the left fingertips. 263 00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:23,750 And then exhale slow and steady, guide it back down. 264 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:24,720 Plant the palms. 265 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,460 This time, step it back to Plank or Half Plank 266 00:13:28,460 --> 00:13:30,610 so you can lower the knees. 267 00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:32,980 Good, breathe in here. 268 00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:35,020 So, we're gonna kind of puff up 269 00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:36,610 through the upper back here in Plank 270 00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:38,950 so you're not collapsed in the shoulder blades. 271 00:13:38,950 --> 00:13:40,010 This is really common. 272 00:13:40,010 --> 00:13:43,290 So, see if you can create almost a doming effect. 273 00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:45,700 So, you're pressing away from your yoga mat. 274 00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,046 Your hip points are kind of tucking in 275 00:13:48,046 --> 00:13:49,410 towards your shoulders 276 00:13:49,410 --> 00:13:53,010 so you feel your full abdominal wall turn on. 277 00:13:53,010 --> 00:13:54,193 We're here for three. 278 00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:58,580 We're here for two, we're here for one. 279 00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:03,180 Slowly lower the knees and send it back Child's Pose. 280 00:14:03,180 --> 00:14:06,360 Take a deep breath in here, close your eyes, 281 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,317 and exhale, let it all go. 282 00:14:09,740 --> 00:14:11,250 Good, twice more like that. 283 00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:14,053 Inhale deeply, lots of love in. 284 00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:18,717 And maybe sigh it out through the mouth, let it all go. 285 00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:21,550 And one more time, don't think, 286 00:14:21,550 --> 00:14:22,890 just breathe, here we go. 287 00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:25,008 Big inhale in through the nose. 288 00:14:27,352 --> 00:14:29,240 And exhale out through the nose or mouth, 289 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,607 you get to choose. 290 00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:35,430 Sweet, slowly come all the way back up, 291 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:39,110 curl the toes under, and let's send it back up to all fours. 292 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:41,210 Excuse me, back up to Downward Facing Dog. 293 00:14:42,890 --> 00:14:45,930 Inhale in deeply here, hips up high. 294 00:14:45,930 --> 00:14:47,940 Exhale as you pedal it out, 295 00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:53,360 noticing what it feels like to create the shape today. 296 00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:56,827 Today. 297 00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,930 Great, then we're gonna go for a little walk. 298 00:14:59,930 --> 00:15:02,080 So, you're gonna cross one foot over the other 299 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,250 nice and slow. 300 00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:06,700 No rush as we slowly walk up 301 00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:08,050 towards the front of the mat, 302 00:15:08,050 --> 00:15:13,240 and careful not to blast through these transitions. 303 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,930 So, I like to really slow down this silly criss-cross walk, 304 00:15:15,930 --> 00:15:16,857 because you start to notice, 305 00:15:16,857 --> 00:15:18,761 "Oh yeah, I feel that in my foot." 306 00:15:18,761 --> 00:15:20,111 "I feel that in my Achilles." 307 00:15:20,111 --> 00:15:21,404 "I feel that in the arch of my foot." 308 00:15:21,404 --> 00:15:22,627 "I feel that in my calf." 309 00:15:22,627 --> 00:15:24,770 "I feel that in my belly." 310 00:15:24,770 --> 00:15:27,800 So, get in the habit of slowing things down here 311 00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:32,400 and then we'll meet with knees slightly bent 312 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,770 in a Forward Fold at the top of the mat. 313 00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:36,773 Again, peek at me anytime you need. 314 00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,693 And we'll just allow the head to hang here, 315 00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:43,320 opening up through the low back 316 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,345 so make sure you bend those knees. 317 00:15:47,450 --> 00:15:49,450 And we'll clasp opposite elbow here, 318 00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:51,720 rock a little side to side, 319 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,490 creating more open space in the back body 320 00:15:55,490 --> 00:15:58,176 and the side body, the waist. 321 00:15:59,810 --> 00:16:03,973 And allowing the blood to flow to the head. 322 00:16:05,330 --> 00:16:07,124 Take a deep breath in. 323 00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:11,560 Use your exhale to release the hands. 324 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,320 Bend the knees even more, 325 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,360 press into all four corners of the feet 326 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,530 and slowly begin to roll it up to standing nice and slow, 327 00:16:19,530 --> 00:16:22,163 slow, slow, slow it down. 328 00:16:23,450 --> 00:16:25,870 And we rise up together, 329 00:16:25,870 --> 00:16:29,558 moving into Mountain Pose. 330 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,950 Close

00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,940 Lift up through the chest, 334 00:16:41,940 --> 00:16:44,633 relax the shoulder blades down the body. 335 00:16:45,830 --> 00:16:48,696 Notice where you might be gripping or holding. 336 00:16:51,339 --> 00:16:55,769 Then allow your breath to move your Mountain. 337 00:16:57,830 --> 00:17:00,906 And yes, absolutely, there's a huge metaphor there. 338 00:17:07,380 -->
