Previously titled: Video 3 - Less Talk
Less talk, more yoga, more delicious stretching. On your back. One leg up, hold on to your ankle or calf. If this is too intense for you, please reconsider your life choices and feel a pang of guilt and shame.
And come to Sebastian for help. Switch sides. Switch sides again this time. Grab your foot, bend the knee and try to pull the knee into your armpit.
Your right arm should be on the outside of your right shin. If it's not, keep doing yoga until it ends up there. Switch sides. Switch sides again.
This time, same thing, knee in the armpit, big toe to nose. I wish I was a bit more flexible, says everyone in this pose. Switch legs, knee to armpit, big toe to nose. Arms overhead, bend your knees, lift your hips.
Squeeze your butt so much that you're stretching the front of your hips. If it's not enough, push your feet down and try to straighten your legs. That should do it. If you go really hard in this pose, the next one will feel better.
Hips down, legs up. Point your toes, legs straight. Flex your feet, pull your heels to your butt and repeat. Warming up the hamstrings by pulling the heels in.
Sit up, legs more or less straight, fold forward to 50%. You shouldn't feel a big stretch, you should barely feel a stretch. Hands behind you, reverse plank for five breaths. Same thing again, but now go to where you were, 50% and then lower your head and suddenly it's 60%.
Letting the weight of the head pull you down to 60%. Sit up, fingers and toes pointing the same direction. Lift your hips. Reverse tabletop into an intense stretch.
From the reverse tabletop, knees forward on your toes, stretching the shoulders and maybe the front of your hips. Sit down, same forward fold again, go to 60% and then move your hands forward. Now, forward to 70%. And at 70% you need to breathe better.
Sit up, cross your ankles, side stretch. Any side stretch as long as you're stretching one side of your body. Switching sides. Back to center, upside down guard.
So we're basically doing a seated forward fold just upside down. No weight in the neck. Breathe where you can find space to breathe. Reverse tabletop again.
Let's repeat the same stretch. Front of the hips, front of the shoulders. This time drop the head back. Sit down.
Instead of going to 80% we stop at 70%. But pull the left foot in. And karate kick your right leg forward so that you're not sitting square, you're sitting angled. Right foot is far forward.
Push your left thigh, grab your pants or your ankle or your foot and pull yourself into a forward fold side stretch. 70%. Five more breaths. Stay at 70%.
Switch sides. Karate kick your left leg. Push your back thigh, left hand pulls. Forward fold side stretch.
Back to center. All fours. Some cat and cows. Pigeon pose, left foot forward, left knee forward.
If you have knee problems stay in a half plank. If you do not have any problems, elbows down. Find something to rest your head on. If you want more intensity, right knee back, right knee in.
Back to center. Switch sides. Switching sides. Rest your head.
Relax. Back to center. Knee back, knee in if you want more intensity. Back to center.
Back to center. Sit up, spread your legs, fore straddle. Back bend in your chest, walk forward, don't fold, just lean forward with a back bend. Rolling your hips forward.
Cross your ankles, close your eyes. Take a moment.
