  • from last week that joined us Bird of Paradise pose

  • and some twists and some shoulder openers and plow pose.

  • We're gonna try to fit all that in

  • and if you have two yoga blocks,

  • I would recommend getting them handy or one.

  • And if you have any knee issues

  • when you put pressure on the knees,

  • on to your mat, grab a blanket or a pillow,

  • or if it's hard to sit up really tall,

  • you wanna sit on the edge of that blanket or pillow.

  • Okay?

  • And now we're gonna get started lying on our backs

  • will come into Supta Baddha Konasana.

  • Oh, how I love this one.

  • So the few together and knees apart.

  • Now if your knees are uncomfortable with this,

  • then you can put a couple of blocks

  • or a couple of pillows on sides of the thighs.

  • Lengthen three or lower back.

  • (clears throat)

  • Just rest your hands on your belly

  • Then close your eyes.

  • Begin taking some longer breaths

  • in and out through your nose.

  • So as you inhale, fill your belly with your breath.

  • (inhales)

  • And then exhale, release the breath from the belly.

  • (exhales)

  • At the bottom of your exhale,

  • draw your navel in towards your spine,

  • a moment holding the air out.

  • And then inhale, fill the belly.

  • (inhale)

  • Now bring it up to the ribcage all the way around.

  • You can put your hands here if you like.

  • And then as you exhale, begin exhaling the ribcage

  • (exhales)

  • and then exhale through the belly.

  • At the bottom of your exhale,

  • draw your navel and an up

  • and lift your pelvic floor muscles and pause.

  • And this time we'll inhale,

  • filling through the belly all the way around

  • the low back to all the way around

  • Remembering your hand steps, and come on up.

  • So we'll practice bird of paradise.

  • So all of the poses that we've been doing

  • have been preparatory poses

  • for our bird of paradise.

  • So we've done some hip opening,

  • we've done some shoulder opening,

  • we've done some twisting and bird of paradise.

  • Open hip, twist, shoulders.

  • It's the whole enchilada.

  • So I'm gonna go this way.

  • Should I go this way?

  • I'm not sure.

  • Okay, I'll go this way.

  • I'll face face you.

  • So just like we did before at the top of the mat,

  • we're gonna come into a little bend in the knees,

  • feet about hips distance apart

  • hip socket, distance, maybe a little bit wider.

  • Take your right hands

  • and thread it under the right sock lift your left arm up.

  • Then take your left hand behind your back to clasp.

  • Now, if you can't clasp your hands,

  • grab your shirt or grab a yoga strap.

  • Then we're gonna start to shift

  • the weight into your left foot.

  • Make sure that Left foot is parallel.

  • It's gonna want to turn out or in it has its tendencies.

  • Pull your belly in, lift your pelvic floor

  • and slowly start to lift up.

  • Find a spot to focus on that's not moving,

  • so that you can keep your balance.

  • Stay with this or start to extend the leg out.

  • Hold the belly and let the pelvic floor and breathe.

  • And three breaths

  • if you come out, just come back in for a moment.

  • To and slowly bend the knee.

  • Return it and hang a moment.

  • (exhales)

  • Nice work.

  • Okay.

  • And with a nice long spine,

  • come on up and we'll do the other leg.

  • Ready?

  • So feet about hips socket distance are a little bit wider.

  • Bend both knees we're gonna take your left arm

  • threaded underneath with a bent knee,

  • bring up behind you to your buttons outside of your butt,

  • right arm up, and then rolling the shoulder

  • and to get back there, collapse or hold on to your prop.

  • So my toes wanna turn out

  • so I have to make sure to keep my toes parallel

  • with the outside of the mat.

  • And then you'll start to shift your weights

  • into your left foots.

  • And then now, no I got confused.

  • Shift your weight into your right foot, right foot?

  • Make sure those toes don't turn out.

  • Then pull your belly and come on to the ball

  • of the left foot

  • and you might just stay practicing right here.

  • Or maybe you'll get it off the floor.

  • Finding your spot focus on open your chest,

  • pull your belly in and perhaps extend.

  • and breathe.

  • So that standing hip is pinning in, strongly

  • lifting my pelvic floor, my belly muscles as much as I can.

  • Take another breath.

  • So if you come out of age, just come back in.

  • It's no big deal.

  • Your bent that slowly let it go.

  • And release the arms, nodding yes, no.

  • (inhales and exhales)

  • Deep breath in, nice sigh out of the mouth, inhale.

  • (inhales and sighs)

  • Take a little bend in the knees,

  • hands to hips coming all the way up

  • and turn yourself back to the front of the mat.

  • We did it.

  • We did bird of paradise, how exciting.

  • Inhale reaching up, fold as you exhale.

  • Inhale to lengthen.

  • Exhale to plank.

  • And lower Chaturanga.

  • Come all the way up, inhale, stretch to down dog exhale.

  • And just for a breath here,

  • so come on to the balls of the feet

  • inhale we're gonna come to seated, exhale everything out,

  • bend the knees, look past the fingers,

  • lightly step or hop.

  • And we'll make our way onto our backs

  • for a little bridge pose.

  • So if you have any back issues, use your hands.

  • If your back is good,

  • then lower down using your belly muscles.

  • Walk your heels in so they're under the knees,

  • you might see me reach for my heels.

  • And so a lot of people think that's how you line it up.

  • That works for me.

  • So when I touched my hair I know

  • that my heels are under my knees,

  • but I have a short torso so it doesn't work for everybody.

  • So just make sure that your heels are under your knees

  • and put your toes in toward each other just a little bit

  • so the outer edges are parallel.

  • Then press into the heels.

  • Inhale, lift, low back, mid back, maybe upper back.

  • You can stay here, you can pull the size of the mat apart,

  • or roll the shoulders under and interlace.

  • Now lengthen your butt bones toward the backs of your knees.

  • Spiral your inner thighs down, keep your neck long.

  • Take another big breath.

  • Lifting and pressing shoulder blades to chest.

  • And that's release

  • and whichever feels better either take your knees in

  • towards center or go back to the soles of feet together,

  • knees apart either one.

  • And then wherever you are hand on your belly,

  • hand on your heart center and breathe.

  • And bring to mind vividly

  • and clearly three things that you're grateful for today.

  • Making gratitude in action.

  • All right, if you're in this position,

  • press your legs back up.

  • If your knees are touching,

  • just bring them straight up to the ceiling

  • for another bridge.

  • Some of you might wanna take a wheel pose.

  • I'm not really feeling we'll post today

  • I'm gonna listen to my body,

  • but I will show you how to set up

  • if you're gonna take wheel,

  • hands fingertips facing the heel.

  • Come to the crown and ahead,

  • make sure elbows aren't splaying out and then press up.

  • You're doing well or you're gonna do another bridge pose.

  • I'm listening to my body.

  • Like we're good Yogi's should.

  • (laughs)

  • I know you listen to your body,

  • that's why you're here.

  • Inner thighs spinning down.

  • Either way, lengthening but bones to backs of knees,

  • pressing shoulder blades into the chest.

  • And breathe.

  • Two breaths here.

  • And then come on down

  • and hug the knees into the chest Apanasana

  • rock little side to side.

  • (inhales, exhales and sighs)

  • Okay, one of the requests

  • that we had for today is plow pose.

  • Now if you have neck issues

  • and you have pain in your neck or in your shoulders,

  • or if you haven't done cloud pose before,

  • it's important to watch it first

  • because you don't wanna turn your head

  • while you're in cloud pose.

  • So I'm gonna do it.

  • If you know how to do it, you can do along with me.

  • If you don't know how to do it,

  • watch me get into it and then join me, okay?

  • Taking your feet to the earth, arms next to ury sides.

  • Well first start with like, straight up

  • and I encourage you, if you have neck issues,

  • or if it's during your monthly moon cycle,

  • just stay right here.

  • Actually, I'm gonna scoop the whole body full

  • 'cause I don't want to hit the furniture.

  • Get the furniture out of the way to okay.

  • Yours legs up, the pretty chronic variation.

  • You can stay with this or pressing on to the hands

  • you lift your feet up and over.

  • Then their feet may or may not touch,

  • if they do touch,

  • you can roll your shoulders under like you do for bridge

  • and bring your hands to your lower back.

  • So you can come onto the balls of the feet or the tops.

  • Keep your neck long.

  • If you want to come into shoulder stand from here.

  • Then when we get a time can come on up.

  • My shoulder stand isn't as straight

  • as it supposed to be because of some neck issues

  • that I've had.

  • And I can't turn my head and look at you

  • because that is not good for my neck.

  • So if you're in shoulders

  • and you wanna stay a little bit longer,

  • please feel free to,

  • I'm gonna make my way back into plow pose.

  • So in plow pose, we got to do our best to try

  • and lift the but up toward the ceiling.

  • And so when I do that, my feet don't touch very easily.

  • So it's actually probably better alignment for me

  • to not have my feet touch.

  • Keep the neck launch and away from the chest.

  • And while we're here, let's do Karnapidasana.

  • I haven't done that in a while.

  • So you'll bend your knees

  • and you'll take them down around the outsides of your ears.

  • And if they touch your ears, you squeeze.

  • And breathe, I don't know if you can hear me anymore.

  • So if you're still in your shoulder stand

  • make your way into your plow pose.

  • And then we know roll ourselves down,

  • bring your hands flat so that when you come down

  • your hands are underneath your buttons

  • and if your legs are straight up,

  • you're already there.

  • Just put your hands underneath your buttons.

  • Let me just fix this a moment.

  • (inhales)

  • And then we'll take the feet to the floor,

  • you can bend the knees and take the feet down

  • or come down straight.

  • Press up on to your forearms,

  • lift your chest and take the crown

  • of your head back which may or may not touch.

  • What this is called Matsyasana Fish pose

  • and it is our counter pose for plow pose and shoulder stand.

  • Keep lifting the chest widening the collarbones,

  • if it hurts your neck.

  • Then don't do this.

  • You can keep your chin into your chest if you want to.

  • Three breaths.

  • And two,

  • and let's release this come on to the back of your head,

  • move your hands out of the way.

  • Hug your knees back into your chest.

  • And then take your feet to the floor

  • and pick up your hips, lift them off to the right,

  • and take your knees over to the left.

  • You can cross the right knee on top of the left

  • if you want to.

  • And then turn and look over your right shoulder.

  • As you're here.

  • Turn your belly up toward the sky

  • and breathe.

  • I speak deep cleansing breath in your twist.

  • And now we'll make our way back to center.

  • So if your legs are crossed, uncross them,

  • bring your hips to center,

  • put your knees straight up.

  • And now take your hips over to the left a little

  • and your knees to the right.

  • And to go a little bit deeper, you're welcome to cross,

  • left over, right, if that works with your body

  • and then turn to look over your left shoulder

  • as you move your belly, up toward the sky

  • and just breathe here.

  • Long, smooth, Ujjayi breaths.

  • As inhale, bring your head to center

  • and cross the legs of their cross

  • and bring your hips to center.

  • Hug your knees and one more time.

  • Rock a little on your low back.

  • And then we'll set up for our final resting pose.

  • So releasing the legs,

  • extend your legs out and let your feet flop open

  • but if you have any discomfort in your lower back

  • bent your knees and take your feet on the floor

  • or roll up a blanket or if you have a bolster or pillow,

  • put it right behind your knees.

  • Feels super good, try your shoulder blades

  • away from your ears.

  • And if you have an eye pillow,

  • you can put that over your eyes.

  • If you have another blanket,

  • you can do a little tiny roll for your neck,

  • your cervical spine.

  • Take a few moments

  • to get yourself into a comfortable position.

  • Releasing any tension in your face and neck and shoulders.

  • And then once you found that nice restful position

  • just stay natural breathing.

  • Quiet mind.

  • Quiet body shavasana rest.

  • While you're here,

  • just start to bring your attention back to your body.

  • (exhales)

  • But stay lying down.

  • I will read the quote while you're here,

  • because it is a little bit longer.

  • It's nice to just lay down and listen.

  • This is a quote from Max Strom from his book

  • that's called "A Life Worth Breathing."

  • As you leave your mat,

  • keep your peace as long as possible.

  • At the end of your class, refrain from jumping up

  • and preparing for sudden impact with the outside world.

  • Do not brace for collision with the stress

  • of the outside world instead,

  • keep your heart as open as possible

  • as you go back into the world

  • rather than letting others affect you with their stress.

  • You can affect them with your calm,

  • loving peace for as long as possible.

  • If you're a newer student,

  • you will experience perhaps only brief moments

  • of this peace, but eventually it increases.

- We had some people that wanted us to practice
