1
00:00:00,105 --> 00:00:02,810
- Hello everyone.
Welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

2
00:00:02,810 --> 00:00:05,960
I'm Adriene and this,
of course, is sweet Benji.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,000
And welcome to the new digs.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,400
Today we have Yoga
for Calves for you.

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,160
This is a full practice so

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,312
hop into something comfy
and let's get started.

7
00:00:15,312 --> 00:00:19,747
(upbeat music)

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,960
Okie doke, let's begin
today in Extended Child's Pose.

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,440
So come on down to the ground.

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,240
We'll come through all fours.

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,440
Bring the knees wide.

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,920
Just in your own time,
get settled in here as you send

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,640
the hips back and
the arms forward.

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,320
And of course,

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600
if this is not a good
starting position for you,

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,000
listen to your body,
find what feels good.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,376
Maybe you begin in a
nice cross-legged seat.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,280
And right away,
let's start to just drop into

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,000
this moment by
noticing the breath.

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,280
You know the drill.

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,561
Take a second to lovingly just
notice where your energy's at.

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,480
Just a reminder,
one of the things I love about

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,360
this type of home practice or
daily practice wherever you're

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,480
practicing from is
it's all connected.

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,840
So while we'll
focus on the calves today,

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,766
this is an opportunity for you
to check in with your energy.

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,840
Check in with the status,

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,400
the status of
your mental health,

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,908
your emotional being,

30
00:01:45,908 --> 00:01:48,958
all that jazz.

31
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,560
Start to deepen the
breath as you're ready.

32
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,800
And I'll just take a
couple breaths here with you,

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,762
quieting my voice so we can

34
00:02:03,762 --> 00:02:07,764
check in with how we're feeling.

35
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Nice. And then press
into your foundation,

36
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,120
that which is
touching the earth,

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,800
and let's come forward slowly,

38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,120
mindfully, lovingly
into a Tabletop Position.

39
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,400
If you started in
a cross-legged seat,

40
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,560
come meet me here.

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440
I wanna thank Benji
for joining us today.

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Little sweetheart.

43
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,160
Wrists underneath the shoulders,
knees underneath the hips.

44
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,520
So we're gonna ease in today

45
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,760
but I am gonna invite you
to bring a little energy,

46
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,000
bring a little love and
intention into the movement so

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
you can get the
most out of this session.

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,440
Drop the belly, open the chest.

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Inhale, lift the chin slightly.

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,640
Then exhale,
round through the spine.

51
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:06,600
Gripping, pressing down
through the fingertips.

52
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Navel draws up
into a Cat Stretch.

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,680
Keep it going, nice and slow.

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,000
Moving with your breath.

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,598
Inhale, drop the belly.

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,800
And then exhale,
round through the spine.

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,620
Gather up your abs.

58
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:28,378
(laughs) It's a funny sentence
but truly, lift up.

59
00:03:30,728 --> 00:03:33,517
And then one more time.

60
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,120
And then slowly bring
the spine back to neutral.

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,681
We're gonna walk the hands
just a couple inches forward.

62
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240
And then inhale,
breathe into your belly here.

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,480
Exhale, draw the navel
and the abs all the way up.

64
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,200
And we're gonna curl
the right toes under,

65
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,080
just the right toes and
extend that right leg out.

66
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Now we're gonna create
a little sawing effect,

67
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,920
forward and back.

68
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Obviously starting to get into

69
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,280
the calf muscle but
also the foot, the ankle.

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,720
And just notice if you're

71
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,720
starting to roll that
right foot in or maybe out.

72
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,080
And see if you can find an
evenness through the toesies.

73
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,998
Careful not to lock
out your elbows here.

74
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,920
Careful not to
disregard your beautiful neck.

75
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,520
So if it's hanging here,

76
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,680
see if you can find extension
through the crown of the head.

77
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,160
Always looking to find that

78
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,160
integrity in the
spine in the yoga practice.

79
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,680
Whatever that means to you,
it'll continue to develop and

80
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,040
evolve and change and
that's why I love yoga.

81
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Alright, bring that
right knee back in.

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,520
Now you're gonna curl both toes

83
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,810
and just take a
second to get off the wrists,

84
00:04:54,810 --> 00:04:56,840
particularly if you're not used

85
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,520
to spending a lot
of time on your hands.

86
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,446
Stick with it though.

87
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,720
And then we'll come back
and repeat on the other side.

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,920
Walk the hands out a bit.

89
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Press into the
top of the right foot.

90
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,560
Keep the left toes curled under.

91
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,130
And find this
gentle movement here.

92
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,090
Another thing 
you might notice here

93
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:24,720
is if all of your weight

94
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,800
is starting to fall to
the right side of your mat,

95
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,040
start to activate
through your center,

96
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,600
your core muscles,

97
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,120
and all the muscles in the back
body and around the spinal cord

98
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,428
to find that
middle ground here.

99
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:45,709
AKA really press
into your left palm.

100
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,440
Alright, now bring 
that left knee in.

101
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,440
Take a second.

102
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,000
You're not gonna
curl the toes this time.

103
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,880
Just take a second
to send the hips back,

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120
reach the fingertips forward.

105
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,160
Tent the palms which means
you put an imaginary tent pole in

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
the center of the palm and
you press into the fingertips.

107
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,440
Reach the wrists forward.

108
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Stretch, stretch, stretch.

109
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,880
And then we're picking up
the energy here a little bit.

110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,960
We're gonna come
back to all fours.

111
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Curl the right toes under.

112
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,720
And then send
them all the way out.

113
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,600
Then you're gonna
draw a little semi-circle.

114
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,520
So the right toes 
go all the way

115
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,000
to spill off the
left side of the mat.

116
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,200
You can turn your gaze
to look at your right heel.

117
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,680
And then breathe deep here.

118
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,200
Press away from your yoga mat.

119
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,720
Feel that stretch from the

120
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,920
right ear all the way to
the right shoulder, right hip,

121
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,787
and the outer edge
of the right ankle.

122
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Then listen carefully.

123
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,880
We're gonna 
lift that right heel

124
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,040
and slowly drag it all
the way back to the center line.

125
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,880
Inhale, look forward.

126
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Exhale, knee to nose.

127
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,600
Gather up the abs.

128
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Inhale, look forward.

129
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Soft bend in the elbows.

130
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,504
Exhale with control,
knee to nose.

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,040
Last time, inhale, extend.

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,760
Exhale, abs draw up.

133
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,640
Press into your
left foot for stability.

134
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,240
Press, press, press.

135
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,800
And then release.

136
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,600
Second side, curl the left toes.

137
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,120
Send them out.

138
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,240
Then draw a circle,
semi-circle, excuse me,

139
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,760
around to spill
off the right edge.

140
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,400
You can take your gaze to
look at your left foot here.

141
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,480
Breathe.

142
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,920
Press away from the yoga mat.

143
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,452
Feel that big stretch.

144
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,800
And then slow and with control,

145
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,480
stay connected
to your core here

146
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,520
as you lift the left heel,
draw it back slowly to center.

147
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Level the hips best you can.

148
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Hug those low ribs up and in

149
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,760
just a bit to get a
little more core stability.

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Then we'll inhale, look forward.

151
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,360
Exhale, rounding the spine.

152
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Knee to nose.

153
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,360
Inhale, look forward.

154
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,000
Slow and steady here.

155
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,271
Exhale, knee to nose.

156
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,480
Inhale, look forward.
Last time.

157
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Pressing into both palms evenly.

158
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Exhale, squeeze and lift.

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,480
Stay here for a breath.
Squeeze and lift.

160
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Press into your right foot.

161
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,440
And then release.
Awesome.

162
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,760
Send the hips back.
Walk the fingertips forward.

163
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,960
This time we're gonna bring
the palms together and bring the

164
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,320
palms up and behind the
back of the head or the neck.

165
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,997
Breathe in.

166
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,679
Breathe out.

167
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,440
Release the hands
back and guess what?

168
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,319
It's Plank Pose time.

169
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,600
Soften through the elbows.

170
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,320
Send the left leg out.
Send the right leg out.

171
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,640
You got this.
We got this.

172
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,777
You can always lower 
your knees at any time

173
00:08:59,777 --> 00:09:01,960
but since we are
focusing on the calves today,

174
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,840
I encourage you to give
it the old college try.

175
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,480
Reach those heels back.

176
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,160
Maybe even a good adjustment

177
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,520
could just be doing one
at a time until you lift.

178
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,400
Excuse me, one at a time

179
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,616
meaning one knee at a time
until you're ready to lift both.

180
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,960
And then it's a hold but
it's never really a hold in yoga

181
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,640
because you're always moving
with the cycle of the breath.

182
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,120
So just make sure
you're breathing.

183
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,880
Neck is nice and long.

184
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Maybe lifting the hips
just an inch up

185
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,982
if they're sinking low here.

186
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,840
Feeling the muscles of the
lower abdominal wall turn on.

187
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,080
You're here for three.

188
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,960
Reach the heels back for two.

189
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,200
And one, awesome.
Lower the knees.

190
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,000
If you need to take a
little break on the wrists,

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,728
you have lots of
options here now.

192
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,160
And then when you're ready,
Downward Facing Dog.

193
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,320
Take your time.

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Hips reach up high.

195
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Palms press firmly 
into the ground

196
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,080
and let's of course
bring the awareness here today,

197
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,720
especially to the lower body.

198
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,974
So start to
slowly pedal the knees.

199
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Bending one knee as you
straighten the opposite leg.

200
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840
And continuing
that nice and slow.

201
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,280
And then same
thing as we did before,

202
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,340
just notice if you're starting
to kind of turn out in the feet

203
00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:32,840
or inward, prone in.

204
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,846
See if you can move
evenly through the toes.

205
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,600
Building strength
and stamina here

206
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,470
in the upper body
as you work the lower body.

207
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,560
Lovely, now drop both heels.

208
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,440
You got this, inhale.

209
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,320
Press firmly into the hands as
you lift the right leg up high.

210
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,920
Point the toes, flex the toes.

211
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Twice more, 
point the toes, flex the toes.

212
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520
There goes my ankle (chuckles)
and point the toes.

213
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,360
Flex the toes, drop the
left heel a little more.

214
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,320
Nice, and then slowly bring
that right foot all the way up.

215
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,440
If it doesn't
make it to the top,

216
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,080
you can always guide, guide,
guide it there with your hands.

217
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Alright, and then from here,
a Crescent Lunge.

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,880
Keep the back
knee on the ground.

219
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,360
We're gonna sweep
the right fingertip.

220
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,840
We're gonna
sweep both fingertips,

221
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,240
excuse me, forward,
up and back.

222
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Pressing into all four
corners of the right foot.

223
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,760
Back toes are
curled under for today.

224
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,560
Breathing deep, inhale in.

225
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:42,840
Exhale, rain it down.

226
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Go ahead and
wiggle the fingertips.

227
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Then tent the palms and

228
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,640
we're gonna send the
right hip crease back,

229
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360
straightening
through the right knee.

230
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,446
Flex your right toes 
towards your face.

231
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,200
Breathing deep here,

232
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480
really pulling that
right hip crease back

233
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,289
and keeping a
soft bend in the right knee.

234
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Then listen carefully,

235
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,920
from here we're
gonna kind of tick-tock.

236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Not kind of, we are going
to tick-tock this right foot.

237
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,840
So you're gonna slowly,
slowly, with care,

238
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,393
open the toes to the right.

239
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,760
And then slowly,
slowly, with care,

240
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,600
turn them inward.

241
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,541
Again, to the right.

242
00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:33,393
And in.

243
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,760
And one last time, to the right.

244
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,960
And in.

245
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,280
Roll through the front foot,
come forward.

246
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,680
One more time, Crescent Lunge.

247
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:43,960
Inhale, reach for the sky.

248
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,200
Big breath in.

249
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,560
Your exhale takes you down.

250
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:49,920
Plant the palms,
step it back to Plank Pose.

251
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,240
So left knee lifts and
we're in our second hold.

252
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,800
Moving with the breath, breathe.

253
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,280
Reach, reach,
reach the heels back.

254
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,200
Lift the hips up an inch.

255
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,480
Lengthen through the neck.

256
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,280
Inhale in again.

257
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,844
Exhale, hips up high and
back, Downward Facing Dog.

258
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,600
Reconnect with your breath here.

259
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,080
Lots of weight in the heels.

260
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,200
It's okay, they don't have to

261
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,920
come close to
touching the earth.

262
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,240
I'm sorry that everyone
got so caught up in that,

263
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,320
but that's no problem.

264
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,960
It's not even a real goal of

265
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,080
mine for my heels to
touch the earth anymore.

266
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,560
So when you're ready,
press into both palms evenly.

267
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,920
Inhale, lift the
left leg up high.

268
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,720
Find that equanimity,
find that balance.

269
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,920
Hug, muscle to bone.

270
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Find the midline and we're gonna
point the left toes and flex.

271
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,680
Point and flex.

272
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:57,280
Really dropping down
through that right heel.

273
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,360
One more time, point and flex.

274
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Yes, and then slowly bring
it all the way up and through.

275
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Right knee comes to the earth.

276
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Keep the back toes curled under

277
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,360
for this one and
when you're ready,

278
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,840
we'll sweep the arms up, 
Crescent Lunge.

279
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Big breath in, lift your chest.

280
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,920
Maybe your gaze goes up.

281
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,440
Squeeze the inner thighs to the

282
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,360
center line for stability
if you're feeling off balance.

283
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,800
And then wiggle the fingertips,
let's rain it down.

284
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Fingertips come to the mat.

285
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,591
We pull the
left hip crease back.

286
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,654
Benji takes a little scratch,
maybe you do too.

287
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,560
And then here we go.

288
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,880
And I don't wanna take too much

289
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,160
time talking about it but
this is a pose where I very much

290
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,320
notice I'm always
kind of turned out.

291
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,720
So just letting your toes really
give you some information,

292
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,512
some feedback.

293
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240
And then of course,
we'll play with that

294
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,320
by tick-tocking the foot
and you can really feel

295
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,040
the sensation, of course, of
coming out and coming in and

296
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,120
this will be
different for everyone.

297
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,040
Self study of yoga.

298
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,300
Ooh.

299
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,070
If you're not already 
taking the left toes out

300
00:15:18,070 --> 00:15:22,280
and dialing them in three times.

301
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,001
Really slow please,
nice and mindful.

302
00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:31,920
Woo. That was a lot
for me on the left side.

303
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Roll through that left foot.

304
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,920
One more Crescent
Lunge with the breath.

305
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Inhale, sweep the arms up.

306
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,040
Big breath.

307
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,920
Exhale, rain it down.

308
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,000
Plant the palms,
step the left toes back.

309
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Your last Plank Hold.

310
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,080
We got this, breathing deep.

311
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,840
Finding maybe perhaps an

312
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,920
opportunity here to
soften the skin of the face.

313
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,080
To tap into a focus that you

314
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,680
maybe haven't really
tapped into today as of yet.

315
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,960
Drawing your attention inward.

316
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Feeling that shake, that breath.

317
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,200
You're here for three.

318
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,960
Two, one, hips up high and back.

319
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,200
Downward Facing Dog.

320
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,880
Take a nice cleansing breath

321
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,151
or big breath 
that serves you here.

322
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,920
And then an Adriene favorite,
a Yoga With Adriene favorite,

323
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,560
instead of hopping
or just stepping up,

324
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,360
we're gonna criss-cross step.

325
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,880
I love this for waking
up the fascia of the foot,

326
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,080
the ankle, all the way up

327
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,280
through the calf, of course, 
and the back of the knee.

328
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,720
So you're gonna slowly
criss-cross step one leg over

329
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,960
the other 'til you
hit the top of your mat.

330
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,560
And let's go feet
hip width apart here.

331
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,800
And you're gonna
stay in the Forward Fold.

332
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,920
So start to relax your head,
your neck.

333
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,240
I love a Forward Fold.

334
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,026
It's a great 
opportunity to let go

335
00:17:02,026 --> 00:17:04,520
of anything you've been
hanging on to that just may

336
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,697
not be providing

337
00:17:07,697 --> 00:17:10,716
anything of good use.

338
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,520
Yes.

339
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Then slowly left fingertips are

340
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,040
gonna come to the
center of the mat.

341
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,720
Nice and slow,
you're gonna bring the

342
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,120
right fingertips all
the way across the chest,

343
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:26,360
straightening through
the right leg

344
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:28,960
as you reach
the right arm up.

345
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,920
Left knee bends slowly.

346
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,120
And then you're gonna switch

347
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,800
and you're gonna use
your low abs to support this.

348
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,643
Bend the right knee,
straighten the left leg, woo.

349
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,360
And then release it and
we'll take it to the other side.

350
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,080
Right fingertips
replace the left.

351
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,360
Start with the left leg 
straight, right knee bent.

352
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,400
As you reach the
left fingertips up,

353
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,000
this should be the one you have
potentially more movement in,

354
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,840
flexibility in.

355
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,560
And then you gotta
gather those low abs,

356
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,640
let me tell you,
to make this switch.

357
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,464
So left knee bends slightly,
doesn't have to be a big move,

358
00:18:05,464 --> 00:18:09,050
right leg, straighten.

359
00:18:09,050 --> 00:18:11,640
And then we release.

360
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,200
Release everything,
come back into the Forward Fold.

361
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,656
Take a deep breath here, inhale.

362
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,918
And exhale.

363
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Nice.

364
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,120
Plant the palms,
step one foot back,

365
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,400
then the other,
send the hips up high and back,

366
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,900
Downward Facing Dog.

367
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:35,440
Alright, press into
the palms from here.

368
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,920
We're gonna soften the knees.

369
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,680
We're gonna go into a
little bit of a Wild Thing Pose.

370
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,880
So if you need to peek at me,

371
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,600
this is your first time doing 
Wild Thing, please do.

372
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,760
We're gonna start with
the softness in the knees.

373
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,160
Feet and ankles and
calves are all prepped here.

374
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,720
We're gonna
slowly dial the toes,

375
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,080
all of them,
towards the left,

376
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,880
heels to the right.

377
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,040
And then we're gonna
lift this left arm up,

378
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,040
step the left foot back and
come into a little back bend

379
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,160
here as you
straighten the right leg.

380
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,200
And you can reach the arm all

381
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,800
the way up towards the sky or
maybe all the way up overhead,

382
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,791
lifting the hips.

383
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,400
Breathing deep here.

384
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,880
Inhale in for Wild Thing.

385
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,840
Exhale, use those low abs to
help draw you back to center.

386
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,920
Take a break in
between if you need to,

387
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,240
Child's Pose or
Downward Facing Dog.

388
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,680
But as soon as you're ready,

389
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,760
we'll take it
to the other side.

390
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Dialing the toes to the right,
heels to the left.

391
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,920
And then we slowly
lift the right arm up,

392
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,240
right foot steps back.

393
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320
I'm gonna step differently

394
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,240
since I'm trying to
stay on my mat here,

395
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,320
but you will
spill off your mat.

396
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,160
For the shape, inhale,
lifting the chest,

397
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,541
opening through the front body.

398
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Wherever you are, take
one last deep full breath in.

399
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,520
Exhale, connect to
center to come back.

400
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,720
Yes, Downward Facing Dog.

401
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Nice work, way to
try something new.

402
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Inhale in here.

403
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,960
Exhale to lower
the knees to the mat.

404
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,360
Cross the ankles behind you
or swing the legs to one side,

405
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,000
any side and come through for

406
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,680
our final pose which
is Paschimottanasana,

407
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,360
a seated Forward Fold.

408
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:28,720
If this is not your jam,

409
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,840
option two could be to get,

410
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,900
to lay on your back

411
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:37,040
and do this here.

412
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,760
But I'm gonna stay seated.

413
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,760
So maybe you move the
fleshy part of the buttocks aside.

414
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,680
You can work with heels,
hip width apart or together.

415
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,160
We'll just take a deep breath
to reach fingertips to the sky.

416
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Exhale, think up and over
with those low abs they draw up

417
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,600
as you come all the
way into the fold.

418
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000
Slight or
generous bend in the knees.

419
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,160
And same thing here,

420
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,840
just notice toes are
coming in or headed out,

421
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,320
see if we can use the toes to

422
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,600
give us feedback of what's
happening all through the legs.

423
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,333
And then I'll quiet down for a
second and allow you to breathe.

424
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,080
And just take a moment of quiet

425
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,976
for yourself
here in this stretch.

426
00:21:37,146 --> 00:21:42,080
And then slowly
release the stretch.

427
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Roll the spine up.

428
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,248
And we'll cross the ankles

429
00:21:49,248 --> 00:21:51,520
and come to a comfortable seat

430
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,728
which maybe some
of you started in.

431
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,160
And as you come into
your comfortable seat,

432
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,680
you can close the eyes.

433
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,651
Maybe you bring the palms
together at the heart space.

434
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,110
You just notice how you feel
from the crown of the head

435
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:19,880
all the way to the
soles of the feet.

436
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,640
Way to take some 
time to check in

437
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,835
with your bod

438
00:22:27,835 --> 00:22:31,612
but also your whole being.

439
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,640
I love sharing
practice with you.

440
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,680
Thank you so
much for being here.

441
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,680
Hope to see you again soon.

442
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Let's inhale, bring the thumbs 
up to the forehead here,

443
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,760
the third eye space,

444
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,640
take a final deep
collective breath in together.

445
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,800
Here we go, inhale.

446
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,466
And exhale,

447
00:22:51,466 --> 00:22:56,480
option to bow 
to close out the sesh.

448
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,520
Namaste.

449
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,481
Thanks everyone.
See you next time.

450
00:23:00,481 --> 00:23:05,765
(upbeat music)
