- Hello everyone and
welcome to Yoga With Adriene.

I am Adriene and this is Benji
and today we have an awesome

at home yoga practice
that's gonna help you learn

So hop into something comfy,
grab two blankets or two even

towels if you have
them and let's get started.

We're gonna begin
seated on your two blankets

If you don't have them and you
still want to experience this

practice, it's okay
but just be really mindful.

If you do have them, let's
go ahead an put 'em to use by

Just getting the hips higher
than the knees and right away

Start to bring a little
awareness to the body

And then start to relax the
shoulders as you just start to

So even though we have a
focus today of breaking down the

foundations of a beginner's
shoulder stand we're gonna

create a little practice so that
you can feel really good when

you get off the mat because time
is valuable and you deserve it.

We're gonna start with a little
warm up together and then I'll

break down the pose with the
demonstration that you can watch

and then we'll take some
time to practice it together.

And the reason for this is we
want to be just super mindful

and aware of the neck as we
learn and practice shoulder

stand so you don't want to
be looking at the video while

Same with Bridge Pose
which we're also gonna do.

me and you and all of the
beautiful people around the

world taking time to
practice in this very moment.

As you're ready, once you're
in your nice comfortable seat,

take a nice deep breath in
through your nostrils

this time really,
really relax your shoulders

And maybe for this last
one you close your eyes.

Be open to just
dropping into this moment.

Nice and slow,
dropping the chin to the chest.

Careful not to
crunch the back of the neck.

And nice and slow carving a line
with the nose all the way up.

And I say loving because once
you reach this highest point

looking up, you don't
want to take it so far back

And whether you're brand new
to yoga practice or you've been

practicing for a long
time you just want to

or you're a part of the KULA
and you do the free video every

Sunday as it comes out live,
which is something we've all

But essentially whatever brought
you here see if you can use this

So rather than just
nodding the head up and down,

what would it look like, feel
like to consider this that I'm

actually integrating my
neck into every posture?

Whether it's a sweaty 90 minute
vinyasa or a foundations of yoga

Alright, and then when you're
ready we'll bring the head back

to center, right over the heart
and nice and easy you're gonna

drop one ear over one shoulder
and then come through center

Rather than just
going through the motions,

stretching out, see if you can
right away peel back another

layer of the onion and
think of this gesture as a way,

"I don't really understand
what this lady's talking about."

You can enjoy this time for
yourself and maybe another

Something we're really
going to be talking about
