704
00:26:56,282 --> 00:26:57,915

705
00:26:57,950 --> 00:26:58,515

today, and...
706
00:26:58,551 --> 00:27:00,217
- Are we?
707
00:27:00,252 --> 00:27:03,420
- We are gonna be practicing
tantric yoga...
708
00:27:03,456 --> 00:27:04,421
- [laughs]

709
00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:06,590
is gonna be leading us
through that experience.
710
00:27:06,626 --> 00:27:11,562
- So tantric yoga is all about
tapping into your energy,
711
00:27:11,597 --> 00:27:12,630
tapping into your chakras.
712
00:27:12,665 --> 00:27:15,366
So the first exercise
we're going to do
713
00:27:15,401 --> 00:27:16,734
to help loosen up
714
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:20,571
is just throw a little bit
of a tantrum.
715
00:27:20,606 --> 00:27:21,939
Just shake it out,
716
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:24,074
and while you're shaking,
you're gonna yell, "ahh!"
717
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:25,376
- ahh!
718
00:27:25,411 --> 00:27:27,344

00:27:27,380 --> 00:27:29,013

721
00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:31,482
So let's take it down
to the mat.

00:27:31,517 --> 00:27:34,318

into this experience.
723

- And we're gonna
come into boat pose.
724
00:27:37,223 --> 00:27:38,956
- I'm not a yogi.
725
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:40,257
I don't know
a lot of the positions
726
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:42,426

but I am open-minded,
727
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:45,396

this with serena.
728
00:27:45,431 --> 00:27:48,165

730
00:27:49,535 --> 00:27:51,368

so into serena.
735
00:27:59,412 --> 00:28:03,447
I'm just taking in
who she is as a person,
736
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:04,648

super yogi and weird,
737
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:07,084
but, like, I'm just vibing
right now, you know?
738
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,088
And I left each pose feeling
that much closer to serena.
739

I'm gonna have you do
740
00:28:12,792 --> 00:28:15,125

741
00:28:15,161 --> 00:28:18,162
