Hello, everyone, and welcome to Yoga with Adriene!
2
I am Adriene, this is sweet Benji.
3
And today we have a Hands Free Mountain Flow.
4
I think this is a great practice that you can do at the top of your mat, or just in your space.
5
You don't even need to roll out of a mat.
6
So let's come to standing.
7
Standing tall in mountain pose.
8
Let's begin with the feet hip width apart.
9
To begin, allow your hands and arms to rest gently at your sides.
10
Maybe turning the palms gently forward just to kind of come into this shape that says I am inviting myself to be present.
11
This is a short practice.
12
Feeling your feet on the earth.
13
Relaxing your shoulders down.
14
Bringing your awareness.
15
Your attention to your breath.
16
Can close the eyes or soften your gaze to help encourage your attention.
17
To drift inward.
18
So moving from the external to-dos.
19
Just inward for a little bit.
20
Inviting balance in.
21
For the mind.
22
For the body and the spirit as well.
23
From here gently begin to deepen your breath, taking a bigger, longer, fuller exhale in through the nose.
24
And out through the nose or mouth.
25
Again, big inhale in through the nose.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
