1 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:02,609 - Hello, everyone, welcome to Yoga With Adriene. 2 00:00:02,609 --> 00:00:04,925 I'm Adriene and that's Benji there behind me. 3 00:00:04,925 --> 00:00:10,380 And today, we have a 20 minute intermediate power yoga flow. 4 00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:12,930 Say that (chuckles) five times fast. 5 00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,064 Hop into something comfy and let's get started. 6 00:00:16,064 --> 00:00:20,409 (upbeat music) 7 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:29,969 Alright, let's jump right in. 8 00:00:29,969 --> 00:00:33,513 We're going to start standing at the top of the mat. 9 00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:39,150 Feet hip width apart or flush together. 10 00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:42,510 Your choice, just nice conscious footing here, 11 00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:44,970 and stand up nice and tall. 12 00:00:44,970 --> 00:00:49,200 And just draw your hands to your belly and your heart here. 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,660 One hand on the belly, one hand on the heart. 14 00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:53,474 Close your eyes or soften your gaze, 15 00:00:53,474 --> 00:00:58,410 and let's take just a moment to tune in. 16 00:00:58,410 --> 00:01:03,793 So we'll begin to draw our attention 17 00:01:03,793 --> 00:01:05,425 to the soles of the feet. 18 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,505 Letting go of the day thus far, 19 00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:15,033 giving yourself the next 20 minutes to explore, 20 00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:18,573 to meet your appropriate edge. 21 00:01:19,770 --> 00:01:23,728 And ultimately, I see this as an opportunity to play. 22 00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:26,880 Spread your awareness 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,040 throughout all four corners of your feet. 24 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,811 Maybe lifting the toes for a moment 25 00:01:30,811 --> 00:01:34,473 to ground through all four corners of the feet. 26 00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:38,850 And then continue to make your way up. 27 00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:39,776 Just kind of scanning the body, 28 00:01:39,776 --> 00:01:43,173 drawing up through the arches, 29 00:01:44,610 --> 00:01:47,079 past the ankles. 30 00:01:50,968 --> 00:01:52,155 And get taller through the spine 31 00:01:52,155 --> 00:01:56,010 as you continue to travel up through the kneecaps, 32 00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:59,493 lifting, toning the quads slightly. 33 00:02:00,990 --> 00:02:02,939 Nice neutral pelvis here. 34 00:02:02,939 --> 00:02:05,470 Just nice and easy as you lift up 35 00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:11,313 through the belly and low back, mid back. 36 00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:13,833 Heart lifts. 37 00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:18,538 Chin lifts slightly. 38 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:22,557 And crown of the head reaches up 39 00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:26,550 beyond the ceiling, beyond the sky. 40 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:29,959 So now we are in our bodies 41 00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:33,841 or working our way to this embodiment, 42 00:02:33,841 --> 00:02:37,043 this feeling of energy in the whole body. 43 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,427 Now take a deep breath in here. 44 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:45,240 And as you exhale, you're going to drop your fingertips 45 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,680 down to come up. 46 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,920 On your next inhale, reach for the sky. 47 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,495 You can open the eyes, and exhale, Forward Fold. 48 00:02:53,495 --> 00:02:56,223 Bend your

through the crown of the head. 52 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:05,997 And then exhale, fold it all the way down. 53 00:03:05,997 --> 00:03:09,150 Now take a couple breaths here with the knees bent. 54 00:03:09,150 --> 00:03:11,910 You can grab onto the heels here. 55 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:16,200 You can clasp opposite elbow either behind the calves 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,917 coming into a deeper fold, or this is our first fold, 57 00:03:18,917 --> 00:03:21,046 so maybe you just keep it nice and easy 58 00:03:21,046 --> 00:03:24,270 in front of the shins. 59 00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:25,103 If you changed your mind, 60 00:03:25,103 --> 00:03:26,867 you want to go feet hip width apart 61 00:03:26,867 --> 00:03:30,236 when they're flush together, go ahead and make adjustments, 62 00:03:30,236 --> 00:03:33,600 and just kind of know that you can make those adjustments 63 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,414 throughout the practice, listening to your body, 64 00:03:36,414 --> 00:03:39,993 and allowing the breath, of course, to lead the way. 65 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,495 If you're in a bind, inhale in, exhale, release the arms. 66 00:03:45,495 --> 00:03:47,653 In a bind, meaning with your arms, not in life. 67 00:03:47,653 --> 00:03:50,128 Although maybe this will help with that too. 68 00:03:50,128 --> 00:03:52,076 We're gonna inhale, halfway lift again, 69 00:03:52,076 --> 00:03:55,880 palms on the shins, deep breath in, long neck. 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,930 And exhale, fold. 71 00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:00,367 Good, keep the knees bent here as we

00:21:38,332 So I'm gonna suggest coming onto the back, 434 00:21:38,332 --> 00:21:40,462 but you could stay here if you're capturing a moment 435 00:21:40,462 --> 00:21:43,863 of stillness and meditation, you might stay here, 436 00:21:45,150 --> 00:21:47,280 end your practice here today. 437 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,673 Otherwise, we'll come onto the back. 438 00:21:48,673 --> 00:21:53,143 I'm gonna grab my block, it's actually my new block. 439 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,310 My Manduka With Adriene block, 440 00:21:56,310 --> 00:21:58,080 and I'm going to use it as a pillow

or a bolster, 444 00:22:04,596 --> 00:22:07,140 you could roll it up under the knees. 445 00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:10,140 I know that you have a practice of your very own, 446 00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:11,970 so you can choose here. 447 00:22:11,970 --> 00:22:14,433 Maybe taking a spinal twist, 448 00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:18,183 hugging the knees into the chest, 449 00:22:19,650 -->
