- Hello, my sweet
friends and welcome to Flow,

A 30 Day Yoga Journey.

It is Day 0.

What is Day 0 you may ask?

Well, let's find out together.

(light rhythmic music)

Alright, if you're
still watching this, you rock.

This is a welcome video
for the 30 Day Yoga Journey.

This is like an orientation day.

A get ready,
get set day, prepare,

tell your loved ones you're
committing to a journey that

is all about falling

into a flow that serves.

So we live in a world that 
is full of distractions and

it has come 
quite common to make

some choices
that are unconscious,

you're kind of moving 
and grooving so fast

or you're being 
fed a lot of information.

This journey is really about
taking two things for yourself,

time and space.

And in this time and space
that we're gonna share together,

we're gonna create 
a more fluid conversation

between the mind 
and the heart and

take care of
your bod as well, of course.

So that's it. Today is 
really an orientation day.

I like this video.

It's short, it's sweet, just
in case you weren't quite ready

to begin it gives you a
day for breathing room.

I really believe in
the power of community.

This is my 10th time to do this

30 Day Yoga Journey
as a project, as an offering,

and I've seen it with
my own heart, my own eyes,

the connection that it
serves individuals at home,

but also the way it connects
us to other people that we would

have normally never even
think to be connected with.

It's really special
and really powerful

and so I hope 
you enjoy this ride.

It will be challenging at times
to show up, but hear me now:

The hardest part is showing up.

If you can just get to the mat,
the two of us,

and maybe my
trusty assistant here,

we'll figure it out together.

I'm really excited
about this year's program.

It is a little bit
different than the years past,

this one focuses on the
energetic body quite a bit.

So while the title may make you

think that it's 30 days
of vinyasa flow, it's not.

You'll see a lot of vinyasa, 
almost in every video,

but this really is about taking
your practice to the next level.

And it's about 
showing up each day

and listening to
your body where it's at.

So you're not
being told what to do,

but rather
given the opportunity,

the time and space,
to find what feels good and

find balance in
all parts of the self,

especially that nervous system.

Okay, some helpful tips that

you probably already know
but just in case you don't,

you don't need anything
fancy for this program.

You don't need any equipment.

You don't even
really need a yoga mat.

You just need a hard surface.

I like to suggest
bringing a blanket or a block

but if you don't 
have those things,

you can use a towel,

you can use a

big, thick book 
(laughs) for a prop and

I really just want
to stress that enough.

You don't need
any fancy clothes.

You can wear anything that
you can move in comfortably and

you don't need a clean
space or a quiet sanctuary.

We will cultivate that
from the inside out together.

Trust me.

I do think it is always nice to

invite people to
join you on this journey.

It's great to 
have the accountability

but also it creates 
the ripple effect that

I think this project has
become so well known for.

So if you want to be a part
of that beautiful ripple effect,

invite your friends,
invite your family,

invite your coworkers to
go on this journey with you.

It costs nothing,

just a little bit of your
valuable time and energy,

but it's all here, of course,
for everyone to have the same

opportunity to
practice together.

Alright, if you miss a day, 
don't skip that day.

Go back and do that day.

This journey does
read like a good book.

Each practice is like a

paragraph or a chapter
that sets you up for the next.

So make sure to go
on the full journey.

I love hearing from
you guys in the comments.

I always have and I always will

whilst I can't always respond
to every single comment anymore,

I do read almost all of them

and I really appreciate you
sharing your experience and

your vulnerability and the
way you love and cheer people on

all across the
world is so beautiful.

So let's keep that going.

Let's use this time to check in

with who we are and where
we are today as individuals

but also as an
international community.

Wherever you're
watching this video,

take a moment now to
sit up nice and tall,

draw your palms
together to your heart space.

And let's take a
deep breath in together

and a long
breath out together.

And again, a deep
breath in together.

And a long breath out together.

And then one more time, inhale.

And exhale.

That's it for today.

Let me know how you're feeling
in the comment section of this

video and I will see
you tomorrow for Day 1.

Take good care.
