Get Happy Routine | The Yoga Solution With Tara Stiles

Hey everyone, I'm Tara Stiles, and today on the Yoga Solution, I'm gonna show you a great
routine that you can do for happiness. It's gonna open up your body, so you're gonna feel
really good, really energized and happy. Let's get started. We'll start in a Downward Dog.
Spread your fingers nice and wide. Tuck your toes. Big inhale lifts yourself all the way
up and back. Let's take a few easy breaths here. Move around a bit. Work out any kinks
and corners here. And then we'll take a big inhale, reach your right leg all the way up
and back behind you. Open up the hips and shoulders. See if you can open up your hips
so much that maybe you start to tip on over here, opening up the whole back of your body.
Breathe a lot. And then we're gonna tip it all the way up and over right where we came
from, right back to your Downward Dog Split. Lift the leg nice and high. So we're gonna
come over to the side here. Bring your knee to the outside of your left arm. Start to
slide your foot on the ground, right outside of your yoga mat there. Open your whole body
right upward. Easy breath, should feel really good. Nice, big opening. And we'll bring the
leg all the way right back behind you to your Downward Dog Split, nice and high. Big breath
here. And gently lift your knee right up into your forehead. Softly bring your foot between
your hands: Low Lunge. Push down through your feet. Big inhale lifts yourself all the up.
And then as you exhale, open your whole body to the side, big twist here. Big inhale lifts
yourself all the way back up, and we'll bring it right back down to the ground. Finger tips
find your ground. Start to shift your weight all the way into a nice Warrior 3. Top of
your head floats forward. Back heel floats back behind you. So we're gonna roll all the
way up to stand from here. Soften the knees, round your back, use your belly, give the
knee a nice squeeze. And then we'll open up the back a bit here. Drop your knee down to
the ground, catch ahold of your foot, gently start to press your foot into your hand, open
up the whole back. Breathe a lot. And when you're ready, draw your knee all the back
and give it a good squeeze, and we'll send the leg right back down to the ground. Big
inhale lifts everything all the way up. And then as you exhale, soften all the way up
and over your legs. Take a big inhale, lengthen up to a nice, long, flat back. As you exhale,
plant your palms. Step right back into your Downward Dog. Relax your whole back here.
So same thing on the other side: Big inhale lifts your left leg all the way up. Open up
the hips, open up your shoulders. And then here, bend your knee, reach the toes all the
way back behind you. Maybe you tip on over. Nice opening, breathe a bunch. And we'll flip
it all the way back around. Lift the leg all the way up. And then same thing across here:
Draw your knee all the way in. Slide your foot on the ground, right outside of this
right hand. Open up the whole front of your body. Breathe easy. And open your whole body
right upward. And coming out of this, lift everything all the way back into your Downward
Dog Split, nice and high. And then we'll take your knee right up into your forehead. Gently
place your foot between your hands: Low Lunge. Press down through your feet, big inhale fills
you all the way up to a nice High Lunge. And then as you exhale, spin around to your left
side. Arms open really wide. Big inhale lifts you all the way back up. And then as you exhale,
sink all the way right back down. Finger tips find your ground. We'll mosey on to that Warrior
3 again, crawling your fingertips out a little ways. Top of the head floats forward, back
heel floats back behind you. And again, we'll roll up to stand. So round your back, use
your belly a bit to draw this knee into your chest, give it a good squeeze. It's okay if
you wobble a little bit. And then drop your knee down to the ground. Catch ahold of your
foot with your hand behind you. Maybe stay here. If there's a little bit more space in
your back, slowly press your foot into your hand. Breathe a lot. And when you're ready,
coming out of this one, draw your knee in and give it a good squeeze. And we'll bring
the foot right back down to meet the other one. Big inhale lifts everything right up.
And then as you exhale, soften everything all the way back in. Nice inhale to lengthen
up to a flat back. And then as you exhale, plant your palms, step right back to your
Downward Dog. Relax your heels, relax your whole spine. And then gently ease your knees
down to the ground. Relax your hips back to your heels. Rest your forehead, and breathe
a lot into the back of your body. And when you're ready, gently roll yourself all the
way back up from that one. So there you have it: A great routine that you can do to feel
happiness right away. I'm Tara Stiles, and I'll see you next time on the Yoga Solution.
