Today is really an orientation day. 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,680 I like this video. 27 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,800 It's short, it's sweet, just in case you weren't quite ready 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,680 to begin it gives you a day for breathing room. 29 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,760 I really believe in the power of community. 30 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,200 This is my 10th time to do this 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920 30 Day Yoga Journey as a project, as an offering, 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,480 and I've seen it with my own heart, my own eyes, 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,200 the connection that it serves individuals at home, 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,560 but also the way it connects us to other people that we would 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800 have normally never even think to be connected with. 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,160 It's really special and really powerful 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,040 and so I hope you enjoy this ride. 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,760 It will be challenging at times to show up, but hear me now: 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680 The hardest part is showing up. 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,560 If you can just get to the mat, the two of us, 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,080 and maybe my trusty assistant here, 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,280 we'll figure it out together. 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,880 I'm really excited about this year's program. 44 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,720 It is a little bit different than the years past, 45 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,640 this one focuses on the energetic body quite a bit. 46 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,560 So while the title may make you 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560 think that it's 30 days of vinyasa flow, it's not. 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,920 You'll see a lot of vinyasa, almost in every video, 49 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:43,480 but this really is about taking your practice to the next level. 50 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,640 And it's about showing up each day 51 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:47,600 and listening to your body where it's at. 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,560 So you're not being told what to do, 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,240 but rather given the opportunity, 54 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,240 the time and space, to find what feels good and 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,160 find balance in all parts of the self, 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,081 especially that nervous system. 57 00:03:00,081 --> 00:03:01,920 Okay, some helpful tips that 58 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,240 you probably already know but just in case you don't, 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,120 you don't need anything fancy for this program. 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,320 You don't need any equipment. 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,000 You don't even really need a yoga mat. 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,920 You just need a hard surface. 63 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,000 I like to suggest bringing a blanket or a block 64 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,890 but if you don't have those things, 65 00:03:16,890 --> 00:03:18,800 you can use a towel, 66 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,260 you can use a 67 00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:25,680 big, thick book (laughs) for a prop and 68 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,000 I really just want to stress that enough. 69 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000 You don't need any fancy clothes. 70 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,640 You can wear anything that you can move in comfortably and 71 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,520 you don't need a clean space or a quiet sanctuary. 72 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,680 We will cultivate that from the inside out together. 73 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,160 Trust me. 74 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,040 I do think it is always nice to 75 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200 invite people to join you on this journey. 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,790 It's great to have the accountability 77 00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:48,200 but also it creates the ripple effect that 78 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,760 I think this project has become so well known for. 79 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,000 So if you want to be a part of that beautiful ripple effect, 80 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680 invite your friends, invite your family, 81 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,920 invite your coworkers to go on this journey with you. 82 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,920 It costs nothing, 83 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,680 just a little bit of your valuable time and energy, 84 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,800 but it's all here, of course, for everyone to have the same 85 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,640 opportunity to practice together. 86 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,000 Alright, if you miss a day, don't skip that day. 87 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,360 Go back and do that day. 88 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,960 This journey does read like a good book. 89 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,880 Each practice is like a 90 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,320 paragraph or a chapter that sets you up for the next. 91 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400 So make sure to go on the full journey. 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,680 I love hearing from you guys in the comments. 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000 I always have and I always will 94 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,040 whilst I can't always respond to every single comment anymore, 95 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,280 I do read almost all of them 96 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,880 and I really appreciate you sharing your experience and 97 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,000 your vulnerability and the way you love and cheer people on 98 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,840 all across the world is so beautiful. 99 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,040 So let's keep that going. 100 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Let's use this time to check in 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,480 with who we are and where we are today as individuals 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,320 but also as an international community. 103 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,600 Wherever you're watching this video, 104 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,520 take a moment now to sit up nice and tall, 105 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,520 draw your palms together to your heart space. 106 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,480 And let's take a deep breath in together 107 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,240 and a long breath out together. 108 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,280 And again, a deep breath in together. 109 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,520 And a long breath out together. 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,198 And then one more time, inhale. 111 00:05:28,198 --> 00:05:30,360 And exhale. 112 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960 That's it for today. 113 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,440 Let me know how you're feeling in the comment section of this 114 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,920 video and I will see you tomorrow for Day 1. 115 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,676 Take good care. 116 00:05:40,676 --> 00:05:44,586 (upbeat rhythmic music)
