00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:01,770
- Hello everyone, 
welcome to

2
00:00:01,770 --> 00:00:04,000
Center Your 30 Day Yoga Journey.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,400
I'm Adriene and I'm so thrilled
that you're back for Day 2.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,839
This practice is
helping to set the tone.

5
00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:13,643
Still all about listening.

6
00:00:13,643 --> 00:00:15,401
Let's get started.

7
00:00:15,401 --> 00:00:18,889
(light music)

8
00:00:36,071 --> 00:00:38,777
Alrighty, let's begin 
down on the ground.

9
00:00:38,777 --> 00:00:42,486
So come on down, 
take your time getting there.

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,101
Select a comfortable seat
of your choice,

11
00:00:48,101 --> 00:00:49,805
maybe with the legs crossed

12
00:00:49,805 --> 00:00:52,259
or if you're
comfortable on your knees.

13
00:00:52,259 --> 00:00:54,930
Or maybe you sit up 
on a blanket or a block,

14
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:59,960
lift those hips so you can
find length in the spine.

15
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Way to show up, Day 2.

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,760
Let's just shrug the shoulders
up a couple of times here.

17
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,760
So inhale, lift the shoulders
up to the ears and then

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,000
exhale, drop 'em down.

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,853
Again, inhale,
squeeze and lift.

20
00:01:12,853 --> 00:01:16,079
And exhale, drop 'em down.

21
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:19,560
And one more time, 
inhale, squeeze and lift.

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,439
And exhale, drop 'em down.

23
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,159
Now we're gonna take
gentle circles with the nose.

24
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,984
One way for a
couple of breaths.

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,686
And then taking it in
the opposite direction.

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,680
And then bring your right ear
over your right shoulder and

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,599
tag a little weight down in
your elbows so we're drawing

28
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:52,879
the shoulders down
away from the ears.

29
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:54,715
Breathe in.

30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,172
And then slowly, slowly, 
keep the heart lifted

31
00:01:59,172 --> 00:02:01,159
as you draw your 
chin to your chest.

32
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:04,640
Find that nice stretch in the
back of the neck as you slowly

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,959
bring the left ear
over the left shoulder.

34
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:10,680
Again, tag some weight
in those elbows, breathe in.

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Hardest part,
hardest part is already done.

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,039
We've made it here.

37
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:19,520
And that's what matters most.

38
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,170
Okay, lift the 
head over the heart,

39
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:22,729
the heart over the pelvis,

40
00:02:22,729 --> 00:02:25,260
close your eyes
and just see this line,

41
00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:29,240
this stacking of head, 
heart and pelvis.

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,034
This is gonna
be our center line.

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,269
And just as a little experiment,
I'm gonna invite

44
00:02:35,269 --> 00:02:37,430
you to shift head, 
heart and pelvis

45
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:39,840
a little bit front to back.

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,719
So you'll feel, of course,
a rocking on the sits bones,

47
00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,240
your foundation.

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,650
You'll feel a pressure of
weight in the feet as you lean

49
00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:55,482
forward and a relief of
that pressure as you lean back.

50
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,219
And then see if you
can take it side to side.

51
00:03:00,219 --> 00:03:04,169
It's gonna be just moving
from the rib cage so the pelvis

52
00:03:04,169 --> 00:03:08,840
will stay grounded 
for this one

53
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,000
as you move 
a little side to side.

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,014
Might feel good in
the side body here.

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,199
And now, yep, you guessed it,
circular motion.

56
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,939
So taking it for a ride.

57
00:03:24,939 --> 00:03:28,090
Maybe inhaling 
as you come forward

58
00:03:28,090 --> 00:03:31,159
and exhaling around and back.

59
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,680
And as you continue to
just kind of move in a way that

60
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,479
feels good here, 
you might start to

61
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:42,039
extrapolate (chuckles).
You might start to improvise.

62
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:44,040
If you've been practicing with
me for a while, you could bend

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,439
the elbows, you know how to
smooth the chest forward,

64
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:50,950
and then round through 
as you come through the back,

65
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:54,298
maybe allowing the
shoulders to come forward.

66
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:58,800
So we're playing around here.

67
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,654
The mantra today for 
this listening practice

68
00:04:03,654 --> 00:04:06,090
is "I am in tune."

69
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,400
And you won't always 
feel good on the mat,

70
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,489
just like we don't always
feel good off the mat.

71
00:04:13,489 --> 00:04:15,709
You can reverse the circle now.

72
00:04:16,654 --> 00:04:18,858
Maybe try this on for size.

73
00:04:18,858 --> 00:04:24,039
I am in tune with
what feels good

74
00:04:25,053 --> 00:04:27,160
for me.

75
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,279
I am in tune with what
feels good for my body.

76
00:04:35,432 --> 00:04:40,054
So there's lots of 
room to play and grow

77
00:04:40,054 --> 00:04:42,860
in this journey.

78
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:45,539
And the key to that 
is actually not in the doing,

79
00:04:45,539 --> 00:04:46,949
you can bring it 
back to center now,

80
00:04:46,949 --> 00:04:49,360
but it's in the listening.

81
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,239
So now we're gonna bring
our hands to our body,

82
00:04:51,239 --> 00:04:56,252
so left hand to the heart space,
right hand to the low belly.

83
00:04:56,252 --> 00:05:01,100
Close your eyes or soften
your gaze, relax the shoulders,

84
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,103
lengthen through
the crown of the head.

85
00:05:04,103 --> 00:05:07,758
Start to slow down
your breathing here.

86
00:05:07,758 --> 00:05:11,046
Feel the warmth
of your own touch.

87
00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:16,820
And if you ever feel a little
lost or you feel like judgment

88
00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:21,480
(chukcles) has come a-knockin'
at your door here through any

89
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,578
of these practices, 
remember this,

90
00:05:24,578 --> 00:05:27,680
the breath always comes first.

91
00:05:32,348 --> 00:05:34,841
We, essentially in my mind,

92
00:05:34,841 --> 00:05:39,330
are joining here together

93
00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:42,915
to first breathe together,

94
00:05:42,915 --> 00:05:48,117
our breath being our spirit,

95
00:05:48,117 --> 00:05:50,720
the soul.

96
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,229
And the movement
really comes from that.

97
00:05:58,501 --> 00:06:00,109
Thanks again for showing up.

98
00:06:00,109 --> 00:06:01,957
Take a deep breath in.

99
00:06:03,469 --> 00:06:07,824
Listen to the sound of
your breath as you exhale.

100
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:11,304
And you can open the eyes and

101
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:14,600
we're gonna come 
forward onto all fours.

102
00:06:16,999 --> 00:06:21,600
Listen to a nice audible inhale
today as you drop the belly

103
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,060
and shine your heart forward,

104
00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:27,439
stretch through the 
front body, Cow Pose.

105
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,560
Exhale, round through the spine,
listen to the exhale as

106
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,959
you draw the navel up, crown
of the head releases down.

107
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:38,679
Continue, 
inhaling to drop the belly.

108
00:06:38,679 --> 00:06:41,454
Opening up through 
the front body.

109
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,885
And exhaling, listening to 
the sound of your breath,

110
00:06:46,885 --> 00:06:48,396
rounding through the spine,

111
00:06:48,396 --> 00:06:50,799
opening up 
through the back body.

112
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,639
A couple more times.

113
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:55,944
Listening to the
sound of your breath.

114
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,547
Maybe slowing them
down a couple beats.

115
00:07:18,553 --> 00:07:20,766
And then walk the hands forward,

116
00:07:20,766 --> 00:07:24,800
bring the spine back to neutral,
take a deep breath in.

117
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,880
Exhale, curl the toes under,
send the hips up high and back,

118
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,677
Downward Facing Dog.

119
00:07:30,677 --> 00:07:33,015
Turn the toes 
inward just slightly,

120
00:07:33,015 --> 00:07:35,219
turn your attention 
inward a lot.

121
00:07:35,219 --> 00:07:37,439
Listen to the sound
of your breath here.

122
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:40,079
Three breaths,
Downward Facing Dog.

123
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:44,194
So we start to warm up,
bend the elbows slightly,

124
00:07:44,194 --> 00:07:47,480
send weight into the
lower half of the body.

125
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,486
You got this.

126
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:04,160
And then bend your knees, 
inhale to look forward.

127
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Exhale to make your way to
the top of the mat, mindfully,

128
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,516
slowly again, I am in tune
with what feels good

129
00:08:12,516 --> 00:08:14,553
for my body today.

130
00:08:14,553 --> 00:08:17,679
Forward Fold at
the tip-top of the mat.

131
00:08:17,679 --> 00:08:20,800
Benji looking sweet as always.

132
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,560
When you're ready, Uttanasana,
Standing Forward Fold.

133
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,088
Again, feet hip width apart,
toes pointing forward,

134
00:08:28,088 --> 00:08:29,426
relax the weight of your head,

135
00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:31,120
relax the weight 
of your shoulders.

136
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,879
Keep a nice bend
in the knees here.

137
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:38,300
Three breaths,
listening to that inhale.

138
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,399
And listening to the exhale,
noticing the sensations in

139
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:48,282
your body as you breathe.

140
00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:59,039
Nice, then draw the
hands to the waistline here.

141
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:00,200
Inhale in.

142
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,580
Exhale, slowly bend the knees,

143
00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:05,679
dig into your foundation 
and roll it up.

144
00:09:10,994 --> 00:09:13,812
Rise up strong,

145
00:09:13,812 --> 00:09:15,871
lift the chest,

146
00:09:15,871 --> 00:09:18,609
lengthen through 
the crown of the head.

147
00:09:18,609 --> 00:09:20,679
Good, inhale in here.

148
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Exhale to drop your shoulders
down a little more and maybe

149
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,832
pull the elbows back,
opening up through the chest.

150
00:09:27,832 --> 00:09:30,179
Good, legs are active here.

151
00:09:30,179 --> 00:09:31,977
So we're working
always to create

152
00:09:31,977 --> 00:09:34,399
a whole body experience, right?

153
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:38,909
This is a whole body 
experience for our mental,

154
00:09:38,909 --> 00:09:43,699
emotional, 
physical health,

155
00:09:43,699 --> 00:09:45,779
happiness.

156
00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:48,349
So try to
listen with all parts.

157
00:09:48,349 --> 00:09:49,399
(clicks tongue) Wink, wink.

158
00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:53,320
Okay, interlace the fingertips,
bring the hands behind.

159
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,764
Thumbs are gonna extend to

160
00:09:54,764 --> 00:09:56,520
create a little 
support for the neck.

161
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,960
Inhale, lift the chest.

162
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Exhale, we did this yesterday.

163
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:04,139
We're gonna go to one side,
any side, around through center,

164
00:10:04,139 --> 00:10:07,179
take it to the
opposite side and lift back up.

165
00:10:07,179 --> 00:10:11,399
So we're moving a little more
swiftly today with the breath.

166
00:10:13,502 --> 00:10:16,389
Again, each time you 
move through this cycle,

167
00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:18,653
finding something new,

168
00:10:18,653 --> 00:10:22,452
finding a way to 
incorporate your whole self.

169
00:10:22,452 --> 00:10:24,536
Whatever that means to you.

170
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:27,960
And if that's a little too
out there or a little too many

171
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,410
layers for today, just focus
on the spine, spinal flexion,

172
00:10:32,410 --> 00:10:34,559
and staying grounded 
through your feet.

173
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Reverse the circle
if you haven't already.

174
00:10:44,651 --> 00:10:49,540
Maybe bringing that Ujjayi
Breath into the practice

175
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:53,230
if you're familiar, 
this nice audible breath,

176
00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:55,289
this ocean sound.

177
00:10:57,584 --> 00:10:59,870
And then bring it all the
way back up to center,

178
00:10:59,870 --> 00:11:01,820
inhale, look up.

179
00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:04,679
Exhale, we're gonna take it
all the way down into the fold.

180
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,260
Release the arms,
relax the weight of the head.

181
00:11:08,260 --> 00:11:10,184
Forward Fold.

182
00:11:10,184 --> 00:11:13,679
Good, this time, inhale,
lift up halfway but today we're

183
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,300
gonna slide the 
hands all the way to

184
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:17,259
the tops of the thighs, 
so the femur bone.

185
00:11:17,259 --> 00:11:20,000
You're gonna loop your
shoulders back, pull back with

186
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,969
the elbows like little
grasshopper legs,

187
00:11:21,969 --> 00:11:24,159
and then find 
extension from here.

188
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,009
Think about your body in
the number 7 shape,

189
00:11:28,009 --> 00:11:31,360
that number 7 figure.

190
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:35,342
Great, draw the 
shoulder blades together,

191
00:11:35,342 --> 00:11:37,929
lengthen through 
the back of the neck.

192
00:11:37,929 --> 00:11:39,720
Good, take a deep breath in.

193
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,199
And then exhale, 
that was a good experiment.

194
00:11:42,199 --> 00:11:44,229
Let it go.
Forward Fold.

195
00:11:44,229 --> 00:11:47,129
Root to rise here, 
inhale, reach for the sky.

196
00:11:47,129 --> 00:11:49,240
Fingertips spread.

197
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,039
Reach, reach, reach.
Big breath, big stretch.

198
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:55,277
Exhale, palms
together at the heart.

199
00:11:55,277 --> 00:11:57,539
Good, inhale in.

200
00:11:57,539 --> 00:11:59,799
Exhale, fingertips come down.

201
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:01,600
Inhale in again to reach up.

202
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,679
Big breath, big stretch.

203
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,759
Exhale, wiggle the fingertips.

204
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:07,429
Make it rain a 
little as you bring it

205
00:12:07,429 --> 00:12:09,180
all the way back 
down into the fold.

206
00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:10,720
Halfway lift, here we come.

207
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,799
Inhale, halfway lift, 
palms on the tops of the thighs.

208
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,446
Now just in one 
breath so as you exhale,

209
00:12:16,446 --> 00:12:19,187
you cascade it back down.

210
00:12:19,187 --> 00:12:21,986
Good, and bend the knees, 
plant the palms,

211
00:12:21,986 --> 00:12:25,159
step one foot back,
then the other, Plank Pose.

212
00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:26,980
Press away from your yoga mat.

213
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:29,899
You can always lower the knees
here for a little Half Plank.

214
00:12:29,899 --> 00:12:33,650
I think this is a really
great place to work as well.

215
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:37,209
So drawing the navel up and in,
hugging the low ribs in.

216
00:12:37,209 --> 00:12:39,948
And then in time, as you build
strength in the shoulders,

217
00:12:39,948 --> 00:12:42,420
you can lift the knees,
reach the heels back.

218
00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:44,580
Wherever you are, think about
lifting through the crown of

219
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:48,999
the head, breathing
nice full inhalations.

220
00:12:49,901 --> 00:12:52,537
And nice long exhalations.

221
00:12:53,517 --> 00:12:56,440
You may be starting to
tremble here, to shake.

222
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,919
Think of your energetic body 
here getting some love.

223
00:12:59,919 --> 00:13:02,179
You're here for three, two,

224
00:13:02,179 --> 00:13:04,884
and on the one, 
slowly lower the knees,

225
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:07,260
lower the belly,
come all the way down.

226
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:09,320
Drag the hands in
line with the shoulders.

227
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,240
Squeeze the elbows
gently into your sides.

228
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,890
Inhale, we rise up, Cobra.

229
00:13:13,890 --> 00:13:15,790
Big breath in.

230
00:13:15,790 --> 00:13:19,679
Exhale, slow and with control,
melt it back down.

231
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,440
Good, curl the toes under.

232
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,064
Lift the kneecaps.

233
00:13:23,064 --> 00:13:25,120
Engage the legs.
Inhale in.

234
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,679
Exhale, press up.

235
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,360
Power up to Plank.

236
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,259
Take a deep breath in here.

237
00:13:30,259 --> 00:13:31,680
Nice and strong.

238
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,080
Exhale, hips up high and back.

239
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,510
Downward Facing Dog.

240
00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:37,950
Beautiful.

241
00:13:37,950 --> 00:13:41,840
Take a couple moments here
to stretch through the feet.

242
00:13:42,818 --> 00:13:46,109
And when you're ready, inhale,
anchor through the left heel,

243
00:13:46,109 --> 00:13:49,679
slide your right foot up
against that imaginary wall.

244
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,080
Now think about
your midline here.

245
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,200
So we're not stacking the hips.

246
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,672
We're dialing 
the right toes down

247
00:13:55,672 --> 00:13:57,650
and we're trying to level them.

248
00:13:57,650 --> 00:14:00,719
Using that inner mirror, 
you got this, inhale.

249
00:14:00,719 --> 00:14:02,787
Exhale, shift the 
weight forward,

250
00:14:02,787 --> 00:14:04,919
step the right foot 
all the way up.

251
00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:07,740
Lower the back
knee to the ground.

252
00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:08,579
Sweet.

253
00:14:08,579 --> 00:14:11,159
Think about squeezing your
inner thighs to the midline

254
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:12,480
and that's what lifts you up.

255
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,965
So you're lifting up 
from this sensation

256
00:14:15,965 --> 00:14:17,480
in the center of your body.

257
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,639
And we rise up, send the
fingertips all the way up

258
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:20,559
towards the sky.

259
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:23,080
Back toes can be
curled or uncurled.

260
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,051
Wherever you feel more rooted.

261
00:14:26,051 --> 00:14:28,860
Good, inhale,
maybe take your gaze up.

262
00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:32,672
Exhale, wiggle the fingertips,
rain it down.

263
00:14:32,672 --> 00:14:34,159
Left knee stays where it is.

264
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:37,530
We're gonna straighten the
right leg, flex the right toes

265
00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:41,279
towards your face and actively
pull the right hip crease back.

266
00:14:43,939 --> 00:14:46,859
Nice runner's stretch here.

267
00:14:46,859 --> 00:14:50,393
Careful not to dump all of 
your weight into your left hip,

268
00:14:50,393 --> 00:14:54,069
but again, keeping this 
nice notion of center

269
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:56,829
between the two hips.

270
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:58,679
This nice level.

271
00:15:00,144 --> 00:15:03,299
Great, now it's not just what
we do here, but how we do it.

272
00:15:03,299 --> 00:15:05,041
So think about rolling through

273
00:15:05,041 --> 00:15:08,519
the whole sole 
of your right foot

274
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:11,519
as you come all the way
back to your nice low lunge.

275
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,240
Option to lift that back knee.

276
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,020
We'll take a deep
breath in together.

277
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:18,960
And then exhale together,
plant the palms, step it back.

278
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,759
Plank or Half Plank 
for one breath. Inhale in.

279
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:26,099
Exhale, slowly
lower down with control.

280
00:15:26,099 --> 00:15:29,168
Catch a wave.
Inhale, rise up, Cobra.

281
00:15:29,168 --> 00:15:30,099
Big breath in.

282
00:15:30,099 --> 00:15:33,200
Listen to the sound of
your song, your breath.

283
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,559
And then exhale,
soften and release.

284
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:37,879
Getting the energy flowing.

285
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:39,960
Curl the toes under.
Inhale in.

286
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,000
Exhale, press up, power up,
Plank or Half Plank.

287
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,639
You got this.

288
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:48,115
And then send the hips up high
and back, follow your breath,

289
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:49,559
Downward Facing Dog.

290
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:51,730
Take a couple moments here.

291
00:15:58,191 --> 00:16:00,240
And when you're ready,
anchoring the right heel.

292
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,600
So right heel's anchored,
pressing into both palms evenly.

293
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,037
We slide the left foot 
up with control.

294
00:16:07,037 --> 00:16:08,942
Dial the left toes down.

295
00:16:08,942 --> 00:16:11,880
Hug the low ribs in.
Breathe. Find that midline.

296
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,844
You got this.

297
00:16:13,844 --> 00:16:18,189
Takes a lot of discipline,
but the payoff is grand.

298
00:16:18,189 --> 00:16:20,710
Hugging that left knee 
in through center,

299
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:23,379
sending it all the 
way up into your lunge.

300
00:16:23,379 --> 00:16:26,685
Whenever you're ready,
lower the right knee down.

301
00:16:26,685 --> 00:16:29,600
Alright, again, rather than
getting into the posture and

302
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,459
then finding your center,

303
00:16:31,459 --> 00:16:33,469
see if you can move 
from that sensation,

304
00:16:33,469 --> 00:16:37,321
that sensation
of the midline,

305
00:16:37,321 --> 00:16:40,209
your core, your pelvic floor.

306
00:16:40,209 --> 00:16:43,919
Here we go, squeezing the inner
thighs in towards the middle,

307
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,480
finding that sensation.
We're just exploring.

308
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,199
And it's from
there that we rise up.

309
00:16:48,199 --> 00:16:51,020
I already have
captured the flag here.

310
00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:53,509
And then maybe 
I send the fingertips up.

311
00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:56,572
Back toes can be curled
or uncurled your choice.

312
00:16:56,572 --> 00:16:59,190
Front knee is bent, breathe.

313
00:16:59,190 --> 00:17:01,919
Maybe take the gaze up.

314
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:04,000
Sweet, and then
wiggle the fingertips.

315
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,279
Actually wiggle
them all the way down.

316
00:17:07,775 --> 00:17:09,079
This is a good
work for the brain.

317
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,599
And then sending the hips back,
really pulling that left hip

318
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,940
crease back as you straighten
through that left knee.

319
00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:18,320
Flex your left toes 
towards your face.

320
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,759
So we're gonna come to
this move a couple times.

321
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:24,480
I'm saying straighten that leg,
but anytime I say straighten,

322
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,440
you want to keep a little
bit of a bend in the knee.

323
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,640
Sometimes we'll bend generously
here to really get into that

324
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,520
belly of the hamstring, 
but just a little rule since

325
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,095
all bodies and 
all different levels of

326
00:17:41,095 --> 00:17:43,279
our journey are 
coming to practice,

327
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:45,470
you never really
want to lock the joints.

328
00:17:45,470 --> 00:17:48,729
Keep it nice and soft always.

329
00:17:48,729 --> 00:17:51,440
Alright, rolling
through that left foot.

330
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:54,810
Nice and slow.

331
00:17:54,810 --> 00:17:58,079
Option to lift the back knee as
we all, inhale, let your heart

332
00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:00,160
energy just kind
of radiate forward.

333
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,239
Open up through
the throat as well.

334
00:18:02,239 --> 00:18:05,319
Good, then plant the palms,
step it back, Plank Pose.

335
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:07,299
Listen carefully.
Inhale in.

336
00:18:07,299 --> 00:18:11,741
Exhale, send the hips up high
and back, Downward Facing Dog.

337
00:18:11,741 --> 00:18:13,567
Inhale in.

338
00:18:13,567 --> 00:18:16,919
Exhale, all the
way back to your Plank.

339
00:18:16,919 --> 00:18:18,809
Inhale in.

340
00:18:18,809 --> 00:18:22,180
Exhale, Downward Facing Dog.

341
00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:24,340
Inhale in.

342
00:18:24,340 --> 00:18:25,880
All the way back to your Plank.

343
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,310
One more cycle.
Inhale in.

344
00:18:29,474 --> 00:18:31,240
Exhale, Downward Facing Dog.

345
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,610
Think about slow and
with control. You got this.

346
00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:35,385
Inhale in.

347
00:18:35,385 --> 00:18:38,759
Exhale to your Plank.

348
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:43,200
Hold for three, two, and one.

349
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Slowly lower the knees.

350
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,240
Bring them as wide as your yoga
mat and send the hips back,

351
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Extended Child's Pose.

352
00:18:53,104 --> 00:18:56,432
Now close your
eyes here, dear one.

353
00:18:57,505 --> 00:19:00,876
I love this shape because it is,

354
00:19:00,876 --> 00:19:03,119
for me and I'm nerd,

355
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,270
but an emulation of kind 
of coming into my own

356
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:09,342
private little love cave.

357
00:19:09,342 --> 00:19:13,940
Now I know this shape is just
not all that for everyone so

358
00:19:13,940 --> 00:19:17,709
some modifications would be to
come to lie on your back with

359
00:19:17,709 --> 00:19:21,235
your feet as wide as the mat
and the knees coming together.

360
00:19:21,235 --> 00:19:24,836
That's what we're
gonna meet up soon.

361
00:19:24,836 --> 00:19:30,030
Or to come up into a
meditation pose, a seat.

362
00:19:30,030 --> 00:19:33,063
The head and the heart
and the pelvis stacked.

363
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:39,389
Maybe it's a
fetal position day.

364
00:19:40,399 --> 00:19:42,924
Wherever you are, 
close your eyes

365
00:19:42,924 --> 00:19:45,319
and inhale lots of love in.

366
00:19:48,539 --> 00:19:51,319
And exhale lots of love out.

367
00:19:53,018 --> 00:19:54,880
And we're gonna add
a little count to this.

368
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,479
Inhale for five, four,

369
00:19:58,479 --> 00:20:01,720
three, two, one.

370
00:20:02,597 --> 00:20:07,954
Good. Exhale for 
five, four, three,

371
00:20:07,954 --> 00:20:09,759
two, one.

372
00:20:11,125 --> 00:20:14,638
Inhale for five, four,

373
00:20:14,638 --> 00:20:18,377
three, two, one.

374
00:20:19,492 --> 00:20:23,069
Exhale five, four,

375
00:20:23,069 --> 00:20:26,887
three, two, one.

376
00:20:28,096 --> 00:20:31,719
Inhale for five, four,

377
00:20:31,719 --> 00:20:34,759
three, two, one.

378
00:20:36,775 --> 00:20:40,072
Release, five, four,

379
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:43,079
three, two, one.

380
00:20:44,158 --> 00:20:47,224
Count two more
rounds on your own.

381
00:21:03,024 --> 00:21:05,694
And slowly begin 
to open your eyes

382
00:21:05,694 --> 00:21:08,667
and shift forward, up

383
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:11,640
and around to a seat.

384
00:21:14,981 --> 00:21:17,600
Send the legs forward.

385
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,566
Point your toes, 
send the fingertips forward.

386
00:21:21,566 --> 00:21:23,799
And we're gonna
slowly roll down.

387
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:28,481
Just using this
week to take stock.

388
00:21:28,481 --> 00:21:30,539
Notice where we're at now.

389
00:21:32,219 --> 00:21:34,977
Then eventually, humbly,

390
00:21:34,977 --> 00:21:37,680
surrendering the weight 
of our body to the mat.

391
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,149
We're gonna bring the
feet as wide as the mat.

392
00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:41,740
Knees come in to touch.

393
00:21:41,740 --> 00:21:44,039
A little resting pose here.

394
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:47,400
So this is a great place to
come to whenever we're doing

395
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,561
Extended Child's Pose
and that's not your jam.

396
00:21:49,561 --> 00:21:51,720
Alright, we're gonna
interlace the fingertips.

397
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,878
Bring them behind the head.

398
00:21:55,165 --> 00:21:56,559
Elbows nice and wide.

399
00:21:56,559 --> 00:21:58,359
Take a deep breath in.

400
00:22:00,047 --> 00:22:01,888
Long breath out.

401
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:05,000
Then slowly lift the heels,

402
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,234
bring the knees up 
towards the chest,

403
00:22:07,234 --> 00:22:09,327
deep breath in.

404
00:22:09,327 --> 00:22:12,599
And exhale, you're gonna send
the legs over to the left for

405
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:13,960
a little reclined twist.

406
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,819
You can keep the arms behind
the head if that feels good or

407
00:22:16,819 --> 00:22:20,400
if you're used to extending
them out in any direction,

408
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,349
of course, you can do that.

409
00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:26,359
Breathe in deeply.

410
00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:30,679
And exhale completely.

411
00:22:32,859 --> 00:22:34,430
Inhale in again.

412
00:22:34,430 --> 00:22:37,160
Use your exhale to
melt it back to center.

413
00:22:38,462 --> 00:22:40,283
And then take a deep breath in

414
00:22:40,283 --> 00:22:43,160
and use your exhale 
to take it to the other side.

415
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,019
Oh, yeah. (chuckles)

416
00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:51,799
Finding any variation with 
the arms that feels good.

417
00:22:53,748 --> 00:22:56,560
Tuning into what feels good.

418
00:22:58,707 --> 00:23:03,735
That is a heck of
a centering practice.

419
00:23:03,735 --> 00:23:08,140
And if we take the time to just
get to know what that feels

420
00:23:08,140 --> 00:23:12,990
like here, then the ideas that
we're able to access that

421
00:23:12,990 --> 00:23:18,227
off the mat and in our
daily lives with more ease.

422
00:23:19,755 --> 00:23:22,890
The practice of tuning in,
listening.

423
00:23:25,454 --> 00:23:28,000
Finding what feels good, 
what feels true.

424
00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:31,009
Alright, inhale in.

425
00:23:31,009 --> 00:23:34,519
Use the exhale to
melt it back to center.

426
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:36,456
So, navel draws down.

427
00:23:36,456 --> 00:23:37,659
Hug the knees into the chest.

428
00:23:37,659 --> 00:23:41,599
You can lift the chest and
the nose up towards the knees.

429
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:42,400
Just an option.

430
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,210
Just giving you options
here for a breath or two.

431
00:23:47,210 --> 00:23:50,200
Finding this contraction,
drawing the navel down so you

432
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,210
can engage your deep core here.

433
00:23:53,278 --> 00:23:56,120
And then slowly release.

434
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:57,799
Let it all go.

435
00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:00,079
Extend one leg, then the other.

436
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,240
Let your arms rest
gently at your sides.

437
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,626
You can rotate
the wrists and ankles.

438
00:24:05,626 --> 00:24:09,237
If you like, wiggle the 
fingers and the toes

439
00:24:09,237 --> 00:24:12,668
if you're into that. (laughs)

440
00:24:12,668 --> 00:24:15,440
And then let's 
come to stillness.

441
00:24:19,421 --> 00:24:21,870
Then we begin to surrender.

442
00:24:26,035 --> 00:24:29,124
Each day we come 
to this practice in

443
00:24:29,124 --> 00:24:31,619
the Center Journey 
will be different.

444
00:24:33,518 --> 00:24:36,079
One day building, 
of course, upon the next.

445
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:40,119
So showing up, to listen.

446
00:24:46,128 --> 00:24:47,178
(chuckles)

447
00:24:47,178 --> 00:24:50,179
Thank you for sharing 
your valuable time and

448
00:24:50,179 --> 00:24:55,269
energy with me and with all
of the beautiful people showing

449
00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:59,079
up around the world to
do this practice with us.

450
00:25:01,854 --> 00:25:05,029
Look forward to
seeing you tomorrow.

451
00:25:07,232 --> 00:25:09,528
Inhale, bring the palms
together in prayer

452
00:25:09,528 --> 00:25:11,819
all the way 
up to the forehead.

453
00:25:13,118 --> 00:25:17,400
And exhale to close
this Day 2 practice.

454
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:22,900
See you tomorrow.

455
00:25:24,401 --> 00:25:28,623
(light music)
