00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,010 Just notice how this side is a little different. 36 00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:08,558 Maybe you've been carrying a backpack or a bag. 37 00:02:10,312 --> 00:02:14,141 Or who knows what you've been up to. 38 00:02:14,141 --> 00:02:15,412 Life is an adventure and 39 00:02:15,412 --> 00:02:18,335 I'm sure your day is 40 00:02:20,443 --> 00:02:22,712 emblematic of that. 41 00:02:22,712 --> 00:02:25,580 Take the right hand up and over. 42 00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:28,441 Just a soft stretch here, breathe. 43 00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,840 Release that hand, 44 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,080 come all the way up through center and we're gonna take it 45 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,655 through some circles now, nice and slow. 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,720 For these, I really like to 47 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,210 think about drawing a circle with my nose. 48 00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:51,220 So, I'm not just gonna throw my head around 49 00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:55,183 but I'm almost tracing a line with my nose. 50 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200 If your shoulders are really creeping up towards your ears, 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,747 think about adding a little weight to your fingertips here. 52 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,206 And then reverse your circle. 53 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,880 And chances are if anyone sees you doing this at the airport, 54 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,240 you're gonna inspire them to 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,760 move their neck a little bit which is going to create a 56 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,350 lovely little ripple effect so high five. 57 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:26,160 Bring the head back over the heart. 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,460 If the feet are not together, 59 00:03:29,563 --> 00:03:30,749 go ahead and draw them together. 60 00:03:30,749 --> 00:03:35,165 So move them from hip width apart to a nice 61 00:03:35,165 --> 00:03:37,960 zipped up line in the legs. 62 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,560 And then we're gonna inhale reach the arms up and overhead, 63 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,590 interlace the fingertips and you're just gonna bump the 64 00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:48,000 hips to one side as you stretch and then press into 65 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640 the heels and the feet and go to the other side. 66 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,040 Just a couple of times back and forth. 67 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,840 And again, if someone sees you doing this, 68 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,871 chances are you're gonna inspire them 69 00:03:58,871 --> 00:04:00,960 to take a little stretch and check in with 70 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,540 their body so I think that is awesome. 71 00:04:07,321 --> 00:04:08,760 Then we'll release that. 72 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,010 We're gonna interlace the fingertips now behind the back. 73 00:04:12,010 --> 00:04:15,140 Keep the legs zipped up here if you can. 74 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,120 And if you're doing this seated, 75 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,026 you can just melt your belly over your thighs in your chair. 76 00:04:23,026 --> 00:04:25,560 Opening up through the chest here. 77 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,320 We're working to get the palms together 78 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,440 but it might be really tight so you might 79 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,100 square the wrists like I'm doing here. 80 00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:38,530 Then inhale, lengthen through the front body. 81 00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:41,474 Maybe take your gaze up just a little bit. 82 00:04:41,474 --> 00:04:42,810 And then, exhale we're gonna 83 00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:46,004 bow forward with a bend in the knees. 84 00:04:46,004 --> 00:04:47,120 Ooh. 85 00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:52,240 For stability, squeeze the legs. 86 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,400 Just allow some blood to flow to the head here. 87 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,840 Reach your knuckles up towards the sky. 88 00:05:01,421 --> 00:05:05,509 Make sure you're breathing here and not holding your breath. 89 00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:11,760 And then ground through your feet, 90 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,771 keep your knees bent as you slowly rise back up. 91 00:05:18,014 -->

You can bring the feet back to 95 00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:28,270 shoulder width if that feels more stable or keep them 96 00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:30,530 together or maybe you're in a seat. 97 00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:33,230 We're just gonna slowly twist a 98 00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:35,850 little to the right and the left. 99 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,160 And this is gonna be a little 100
