Hello, wild thinkers? So wild thing is in the title. We're gonna flow today. So we know wild thing's probably gonna be in this class at some point. Other than that, this whole deal is revelation over destination.

Right? It doesn't matter how we're gonna end up or what's gonna happen next or any of that. It's revelation. One breath reveals itself. One move reveals itself. Breath to breath, motion, emotion, who cares about anything else. Wild things probably gonna happen.

But it's breath in motion, revelation over destination. Revelation is now destination is fiction. Dig it? So let's start to breathe. Ojai breath because this is a flow, so we're connecting breath to motion. In and out through your nose, right? Me and you are breathing together.

Breathe in through your nose. Little constriction in the back of your throat. Breathe out. Here that whisper in the back of the throat. Breathe in.

Little constriction, breathe out. That's how fast we're gonna move. Breathe in. I should say that's how slow we're gonna move. Breathe out.

Keep breathing, just like that. Take a tabletop right here. Come up to hands and knees and speak in a hands where the fingers are meeting the hand, the metacarpals, the knuckles, press them down into the mat. So they're all rooted down. Where the heel of the hand, the forearm and the heel of the hand, can you make that a bit lighter? So the front of the hands heavier, the heel of the hands lighter.

The breath is still going slow through your nose, revealing itself moment to moment. So with the big inhale, lower your heart through your shoulders, drop your low belly, roll your tailbone up and look up. Breathe out, round your tailbone to your knees, lift your low ribs, eyes to belly, puff up your upper shoulders. Breathe in, soften your heart through your shoulders, drop to low belly, tailbone slash butt knuckles up. Breath out, round your tailbone down, eyes to belly puff up.

Repeat it, breathe in, lower your heart, drop your belly, adding on hug knees to hands against the mat. Breath out round, puff up, press your hands down and out. Try to tear the mat in half. Again, breathe in. Lower your heart.

Drop your belly. Pull hands to knees. Breath out round. Roll your butt knuckles, sits bones towards your knees. Let's do one more.

Big inhale. Lower your heart. Drop your belly. Butt knuckles up. Breath out round, puff up, press your hands out. Come back to a neutral spine with a breath in, somewhat flattish.

And then when you breathe out, start to bear roll around now. Move around. So omnidirectional, you can't really do this wrong. You're just moving, right? Just like I was talking about, you're breathing through your nose, and you're letting the motion reveal itself because there is no specific shape you have to find in a barrel. The motion's already happening.

You're just going along for the ride. It reveals itself. There's no end game here. Now with a breath in, come back up to that all fours tabletop with your breath out lower your chest top of the mat, lower all the way down.

And the way I see it's like your battle buddy, by your side the whole time, as you go through revelation, start to come up one spine, one vertebrae at a time, left leg long, step your right foot outside your left thigh, right hand behind you, inhale, left arm up.

I'm a big fan of a little counter dip to the left. Breathe out. Roll back up. Feed to the mat. Reach forward. Breathe in.

Breath out round back and knees to chest, give it a big squeeze, breathe in, sigh out Shivasana high. Let it go. The breath just drops out of your body. Be breathed here, soften your forehead, relax your inner lips, soften your jaw, skin heavy. You stay in that Shavasana, let the next moment reveal itself Revelation over destination.
