Today is really an orientation day. 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.680 I like this video. 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.800 It's short, it's sweet, just in case you weren't quite ready 00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:38.680 to begin it gives you a day for breathing room. 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.760 I really believe in the power of community. 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.200 This is my 10th time to do this 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.920 30 Day Yoga Journey as a project, as an offering, 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.480 and I've seen it with my own heart, my own eyes, 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.200 the connection that it serves individuals at home, 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.560 but also the way it connects us to other people that we would 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.800 have normally never even think to be connected with. 00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:04.160 It's really special and really powerful 00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:07.040 and so I hope you enjoy this ride. 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.760 It will be challenging at times to show up, but hear me now: 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.680 The hardest part is showing up. 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.560 If you can just get to the mat, the two of us, 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.080 and maybe my trusty assistant here, 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.280 we'll figure it out together. 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.880 I'm really excited about this year's program. 00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:27.720 It is a little bit different than the years past, 00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:30.640 this one focuses on the energetic body quite a bit. 00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:32.560 So while the title may make you 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.560 think that it's 30 days of vinyasa flow, it's not. 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.920 You'll see a lot of vinyasa, almost in every video, 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:43.480 but this really is about taking your practice to the next level. 00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:45.640 And it's about showing up each day 00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:47.600 and listening to your body where it's at. 00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.560 So you're not being told what to do, 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.240 but rather given the opportunity, 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.240 the time and space, to find what feels good and 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.160 find balance in all parts of the self, 00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:00.081 especially that nervous system. 00:03:00.081 --> 00:03:01.920 Okay, some helpful tips that 00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:05.240 you probably already know but just in case you don't, 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.120 you don't need anything fancy for this program. 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.320 You don't need any equipment. 00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:11.000 You don't even really need a yoga mat. 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.920 You just need a hard surface. 00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:16.000 I like to suggest bringing a blanket or a block 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:16.890 but if you don't have those things, 00:03:16.890 --> 00:03:18.800 you can use a towel, 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.260 you can use a 00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:25.680 big, thick book (laughs) for a prop and 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.000 I really just want to stress that enough. 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.000 You don't need any fancy clothes. 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.640 You can wear anything that you can move in comfortably and 00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:35.520 you don't need a clean space or a quiet sanctuary. 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.680 We will cultivate that from the inside out together. 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.160 Trust me. 00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:42.040 I do think it is always nice to 00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:44.200 invite people to join you on this journey. 00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:45.790 It's great to have the accountability 00:03:45.790 --> 00:03:48.200 but also it creates the ripple effect that 00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:52.760 I think this project has become so well known for. 00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:56.000 So if you want to be a part of that beautiful ripple effect, 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.680 invite your friends, invite your family, 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.920 invite your coworkers to go on this journey with you. 00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:02.920 It costs nothing, 00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:06.680 just a little bit of your valuable time and energy, 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.800 but it's all here, of course, for everyone to have the same 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.640 opportunity to practice together. 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:16.000 Alright, if you miss a day, don't skip that day. 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.360 Go back and do that day. 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.960 This journey does read like a good book. 00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:21.880 Each practice is like a 00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:25.320 paragraph or a chapter that sets you up for the next. 00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:27.400 So make sure to go on the full journey. 00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:29.680 I love hearing from you guys in the comments. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.000 I always have and I always will 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.040 whilst I can't always respond to every single comment anymore, 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.280 I do read almost all of them 00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:40.880 and I really appreciate you sharing your experience and 00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:44.000 your vulnerability and the way you love and cheer people on 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.840 all across the world is so beautiful. 00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:48.040 So let's keep that going. 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.080 Let's use this time to check in 00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.480 with who we are and where we are today as individuals 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.320 but also as an international community. 00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:01.600 Wherever you're watching this video, 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.520 take a moment now to sit up nice and tall, 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:09.520 draw your palms together to your heart space. 00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:13.480 And let's take a deep breath in together 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.240 and a long breath out together. 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.280 And again, a deep breath in together. 00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:24.520 And a long breath out together. 00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:28.198 And then one more time, inhale. 00:05:28.198 --> 00:05:30.360 And exhale. 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.960 That's it for today. 00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:34.440 Let me know how you're feeling in the comment section of this 00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:38.920 video and I will see you tomorrow for Day 1. 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.676 Take good care. 00:05:40.676 --> 00:05:44.586 (upbeat rhythmic music)
