1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:01,890
- What's up party people?
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

2
00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:03,750
I'm Adriene.
Today we're going to learn

3
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:07,620
Surya Namaskara B
or Sun Salutation B.

4
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:11,460
This is a set structure that
you will find in a public class.

5
00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:15,670
This is really a great
complement to Surya Namaskara A,

6
00:00:15,670 --> 00:00:17,240
which we also have a video for.

7
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,060
And this is a nice thing to have

8
00:00:19,060 --> 00:00:21,090
in your wheelhouse so
that when you go to class

9
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:23,385
you can find freedom
within the form.

10
00:00:23,385 --> 00:00:25,900
Alright, let's hop on
the mat and get started.

11
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:30,211
(upbeat music)

12
00:00:36,973 --> 00:00:40,925
Okay, so we're going to
begin at the front of the mat.

13
00:00:40,925 --> 00:00:43,090
Staining tall in Tadasana.

14
00:00:43,090 --> 00:00:45,120
Just take a second to
connect to your breath.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440
Maybe loop the shoulders

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,850
and lengthen through
the crown of the head.

17
00:00:50,834 --> 00:00:52,350
Take a deep breath in.

18
00:00:54,057 --> 00:00:55,864
And a long breath out.

19
00:00:57,469 --> 00:00:59,752
We're gonna be moving
with the breath today.

20
00:01:01,408 --> 00:01:05,356
So taking a second 
here to just check in

21
00:01:05,356 --> 00:01:08,579
and breathe a little deeper,
a little fuller.

22
00:01:20,661 --> 00:01:24,230
Then on your next breath in,
we'll bring the feet together

23
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:27,170
and find a little
softness in the knees.

24
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:28,930
Inhale, straighten the legs,

25
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:32,105
reach the fingertips up,
full body stretch.

26
00:01:32,105 --> 00:01:34,109
Exhale,
bend the knees generously,

27
00:01:34,109 --> 00:01:37,120
we come into a
Chair Pose or Ukutasan here.

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,070
So there might be a little bit
of space between your heels here

29
00:01:40,070 --> 00:01:42,880
as we send the
fingertips forward, up and back,

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,160
and the sit bones
back, back, back.

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,040
The toes might lift here.
We hug the outer ribs in,

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,899
and we come to that 
strong, fierce Chair Pose.

33
00:01:51,899 --> 00:01:52,990
Squeezing the thighs together.

34
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:54,910
Take a deep breath in,
open your heart.

35
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:56,857
Maybe lift the
chin just slightly.

36
00:02:00,610 --> 00:02:02,720
Take one more breath here.

37
00:02:03,716 --> 00:02:06,910
And on an exhale,
we find that Forward Fold.

38
00:02:08,404 --> 00:02:10,330
So we can take a couple
seconds to stretch it out here,

39
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:13,622
just talking through
nice and slow, being mindful.

40
00:02:15,788 --> 00:02:18,700
And then on your next breath in,
we're gonna inhale,

41
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:20,260
lift to that
flat back position.

42
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:21,580
Again, taking a couple breaths

43
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:23,020
here to check in
with that shape,

44
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:24,870
pull the shoulders back,

45
00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:26,531
draw the
shoulder blades together.

46
00:02:26,531 --> 00:02:28,852
And again, 
we hug the outer ribs in,

47
00:02:28,852 --> 00:02:31,432
maybe draw the
navel up towards the spine.

48
00:02:31,432 --> 00:02:33,340
Long neck here,
so you can take a look at the

49
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:35,782
video and then
take your gaze down.

50
00:02:35,782 --> 00:02:39,110
Imagine placing a little teacup
on the back of the neck here.

51
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:40,408
Deep breath in.

52
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:45,550
And on an exhale, we release
back to the Forward Fold.

53
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:48,400
Great, plant the palms here,

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,370
and we're gonna step or hop
the feet back to Plank position.

55
00:02:52,638 --> 00:02:54,375
Deep breath in.

56
00:02:54,375 --> 00:02:56,110
On an exhale,
lower your knees,

57
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:59,120
lower all the way to
your belly, practice Cobra,

58
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,420
or more traditionally
here for Sun B,

59
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:02,890
we're gonna rock on the toes,

60
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:04,561
hug the elbows
into the side body,

61
00:03:04,561 --> 00:03:06,690
and slowly lower down,
Chaturanga.

62
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:07,900
We hover for a moment,

63
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:10,058
then we flip to
the tops of the feet,

64
00:03:10,058 --> 00:03:11,740
loop the shoulders,
open the heart,

65
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:14,408
and find our Upward Facing Dog.

66
00:03:14,408 --> 00:03:16,330
Take a deep breath in,
stretch it out.

67
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:19,580
Press into your foundation,
and on an exhale,

68
00:03:19,580 --> 00:03:24,523
we send it back, woo, 
Downward Facing Dog.

69
00:03:24,523 --> 00:03:26,580
Really mindful of the breath.

70
00:03:27,659 --> 00:03:28,880
Great, drop the left heel.

71
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,840
On an inhale, let's lift 
the right leg up high.

72
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,750
On an exhale,
step that right foot

73
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:35,720
all the way up 
and into your lunge.

74
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,289
Pivot on the back foot.

75
00:03:38,289 --> 00:03:39,360
And then we'll inhale,

76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,720
reach the fingertips up
high as we come to Warrior I,

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,522
Virabhadrasana I.

78
00:03:45,522 --> 00:03:48,000
Find your breath here,
inhale in.

79
00:03:49,053 --> 00:03:50,580
And on an exhale, we release.

80
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:52,150
We pivot on the back foot,

81
00:03:52,150 --> 00:03:54,678
hands come back
down to the mat.

82
00:03:54,678 --> 00:03:57,197
And we step the
right toes back to Plank.

83
00:03:58,257 --> 00:04:01,590
Take your vinyasa,
lowering to the belly to Cobra

84
00:04:01,590 --> 00:04:04,610
or Chaturanga to
Upward Facing Dog.

85
00:04:05,994 --> 00:04:08,652
Find a big breath in
as you open your heart.

86
00:04:08,652 --> 00:04:13,200
And then use your exhale
to send it back, Downward Dog.

87
00:04:14,399 --> 00:04:16,350
Great, drop the right heel.
This time we lift the

88
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:18,540
left leg up high,
deep breath in.

89
00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:20,520
On an exhale,
step it up into your lunge.

90
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:24,250
Pivot on the back foot.

91
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:27,458
Find your foundation here,
so super strong.

92
00:04:27,458 --> 00:04:31,856
And then when you're ready,
lift up to Warrior I.

93
00:04:31,856 --> 00:04:33,780
Fingertips reach up high,
we bend that front knee,

94
00:04:33,780 --> 00:04:35,490
inhale in, press into the

95
00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:38,790
back edge of,
outer edge back foot, sorry.

96
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:43,090
And then on an exhale,
oh yeah, we release.

97
00:04:43,090 --> 00:04:44,310
And planting the palms,

98
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:46,800
we slide the left toes 
back now and vinyasa.

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,170
So it might look like this if
you're new to the practice or

100
00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:51,750
you're working on
Chaturanga might look like this.

101
00:04:54,112 --> 00:04:58,830
And together, we meet
back in Downward Facing Dog.

102
00:04:59,873 --> 00:05:01,280
Deep breath in.

103
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,610
On an exhale,
bend the knees generously.

104
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:04,440
Slowly bring the belly to the

105
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,210
tops of the thighs
as you look forward.

106
00:05:06,210 --> 00:05:07,990
Inhale in again.

107
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:10,110
And on an exhale,
step, hop,

108
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:11,580
float up towards the
front edge of your mat.

109
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:13,470
Deep breath in.

110
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:16,530
Forward Fold.

111
00:05:16,530 --> 00:05:18,930
Inhale, coming back
to that Chair Pose.

112
00:05:18,930 --> 00:05:19,890
We bend the knees generously.

113
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:21,950
Send the fingertips 
forward, up and back.

114
00:05:21,950 --> 00:05:23,970
Hug the outer ribs in.

115
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:25,640
Draw the navel to the spine.

116
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,010
Take a deep breath in, smile.

117
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:30,800
And then exhale, Forward Fold.

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,420
Inhale, halfway lift,
long, beautiful neck.

119
00:05:35,184 --> 00:05:38,005
And exhale, bow.

120
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:40,070
Inhale, reach the
fingertips all the way up,

121
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:42,782
fingertips kiss
up and overhead.

122
00:05:42,782 --> 00:05:44,990
And exhale to the heart.

123
00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:46,983
Namaste.

124
00:05:46,983 --> 00:05:50,581
(soft music)

125
00:08:07,182 --> 00:08:09,220
Alright, so that
was Sun Salutation B,

126
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:11,690
the structure of
Surya Namaskara B.

127
00:08:11,690 --> 00:08:13,840
I just want to say that,
you know,

128
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,850
although the motto is
Find What Feels Good,

129
00:08:15,850 --> 00:08:19,210
it is nice to have this kind
of structure to play within,

130
00:08:19,210 --> 00:08:21,520
to find freedom within
the form, as I said before,

131
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,760
and also, to just remember
that a little goes a long way.

132
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,390
One Surya Namaskara B
really gets the blood flowing,

133
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:29,410
the juices flowing.

134
00:08:29,410 --> 00:08:31,330
You can do five
for a good workout.

135
00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:33,260
Definitely gets
the heart rate up.

136
00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:35,890
Really nice when you can't
maybe go outside for a jog or

137
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:38,530
walk because of the weather
or because of time or energy.

138
00:08:38,530 --> 00:08:41,500
So just keep this Surya
Namaskara B in your back pocket.

139
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:43,860
Make sure to
visit Surya Namaskara A,

140
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:46,060
a video that we shot before.

141
00:08:46,060 --> 00:08:47,230
And I will see you next time.

142
00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:48,890
Leave questions
or comments below.

143
00:08:48,890 --> 00:08:50,351
Love you guys.
Namaste.

144
00:08:50,351 --> 00:08:54,782
(upbeat music)
