in the body while at the same time practice on finding stillness and presence in your mind we're gonna work hard this is gonna be

a slightly fast paced practice so just stay within your body stay present you won't need any sort of props

just yourself and your mat so if you're

ready let's get to it [Applause]

[Music] oh all right friends so we're going to start today easy

and gentle on our mats at the back of your mat we're going to go ahead and come into a seated position right over top of your heels

so sit up drop the shoulders down away from the ears and as we begin our practice today let's just give ourselves the opportunity to find that presence and stillness so

hands on to your lap or perhaps over to your heart close your eyes and just begin to breathe deeply

inhaling into the belly into the ribs into the chest and then exhaling out and again deep breathing

exhale out with your eyes closed just checking in with yourself checking in with your body how are you

feeling right now in this moment with your exhalation i'd like you to let go of everything that is not serving you in this moment

any thoughts worries of the future of the past about other people i'd like you to completely leave that at the door and enter this sanctuary that you've

created here on your mat for yourself enter your own presence your own eternal stillness as you move and breathe on your next inhalation reach both arms

up towards the skies you lengthen up and then as you exhale i'd like you to shift your weight over to your left butt cheeks you're going to come off your

heels and then just plant your right hand down and reach with your left fingertips towards the right side of the mat just be very mindful that you're not rounding forward i want you to really

open up through the chest and the shoulders and perhaps even look up towards that left elbow beautiful one more inhale keep reaching

with the right fingertips away so you're really lengthening through the left side exhale come back to center we're going to start with a fire breath

breathing prana pranayama practice that allows to build up eternal heat in the body so what you're going to do is just sit up nice and tall inhale into the nose

and exhale rapidly out of your nose to my count all right so inhale exhale 5

into the right side of your body good just breathe opening through the rib cage

your oblique muscles are stretching just finding that breath you can keep your eyes closed here if that feels good and then as you exhale come back to center

shift yourself back to that central position and let's do one more breathing exercise so again fire breath couple of body breathing

very first downward dog so let's gift our body a moment of rejuvenation of release so i'd like you to add whatever movement feels good on your

body today so perhaps it feels really nice to just walk it out on the spot perhaps it feels really good to do some shoulder rolls

or maybe hip rolls feel free to be creative there is no wrong hair what we're doing here is tuning into our own body

and truly asking ourselves what do i need in this moment what will make me feel good in this position and then once you're able to answer that

gift yourself that moment of rejuvenation so move whichever way feels right for you right now in this moment

good so just breathe it out and notice with a little bit of patience a little bit of time your body responds to this posture your body relaxes into this downward dog

allows your heels to gently release closer towards the mat again it's not about touching your heels to the mouth so don't worry if your heels are off the floor the whole time

that's not the point of this position if your hamstrings are feeling too tight slightly bend your knees alright so gift yourself whatever modification you need so that

where you need to be don't force it just feel it so feel into the posture and feel how your body is responding to it

your heels give yourself a second to allow the spine to neutralize and then as you exhale release into child's pose

rounding out your back in the opposite direction your counter pose let's close our eyes in this moment and just focus on that deep inhalation and exhalation

not last postures you opened up your heart ask yourself what is it that you're closing yourself off from in your life

what is it that you wish you could be more open to

is it adventure is it spontaneity is it new relationships is it new habits remind yourself that everything that you

want simply lies on the other side of fear and that by opening ourselves into the unknown

to the universe opening our heart to it we allow ourselves to welcome love which will guide us forward which is stronger than fear which is

more powerful than fear and if we continue to follow our path through love through our hearts it'll guide us exactly where we need to be

let's take another deep breath in exhale slowly come on up [Music] tuck your toes let's just take a downward facing dog stretch it out

your fingertips and toes first as you start to move them then deepen your breath then bring your knees towards your body as you reach your right arm up over your
