I was taking day 11 yesterday , my mother passed by ( she doe not speak english) and she said with a big smile " when you hear the voice of this girl it is not like she is giving a youga lesson, but it is like she is giving LOVE!" and yes adriene you are giving us so much love!!! thank you so much for what you are doing for us!!
I have never stuck with a work out challenge for so long. Previously to this video I have never done yoga but now I am on day 11 and I am OBSESSED! I really can't see my day without yoga now. I truly have found a new passion that I plan to keep up with. Thanks for making yoga not so scary and fun Adriene! You truly have changed my day to day life not just physically but mentally as well.
hi adriene! i just wanted to thank you - today is my 25th birthday, but more importantly it's day 11 and i am 11 days sober. thank you for everything you do.
I just wanted to say this to anyone who needs it, its okay to take a break and skip a workout if you need a day off. 💖This is not a race, its a journey. 💖 Enjoy every moment of it. Have a beautiful day!
Thank you so much for this. I haven’t been feeling motivated to do anything these past few days and I felt so guilty for it. Seeing your comment made me feel as if a weight was taken off my shoulders. I hope you and everyone else out there as well have a good day or night!
Hey, Adriene! I know you get a billion comments, but I just have to say how thankful I am to have found your videos! I have Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic lung condition. With CF, your lungs get filled with mucus and you can't clear them like normal and it results in numerous hospitalizations and lung damage. It also causes you to cough a ton. With CF, you can cough so hard that you pull muscles, dislocate ribs, pass out, etc. Well, for the last 2-3 years, my back has slowly been getting worse. I have scoliosis and the coughing and pulling muscles has just made it horrible. My prescribed muscle relaxers and I really don't like taking things like that. Tons of people told me to try yoga, so I ordered a Mat and browsed a billion videos and practices trying to find the perfect one. Yours just spoke to me. It wasn't intimidating and made me want to start. I'm about to do this video (Day 11) of the challenge, and just from doing the beginner courses and this 30 Day Challenge, my back has been almost completely pain free! Not only that, but focusing on the breathing helps my lungs a ton. It's also amazing how flexible/strong I've gotten in such a short amount of time. So, thanks so much, Adriene! You absolutely rock. Keep em up, my friend!
I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better :) i thought yoga was just a hipster fad thing until i tried it out with Adrienne. You don't need an expensive mat and latest must-have yoga pants plus a hefty monthly fee. Really, it takes just a mat, and internet connection. :)
Haha, same! Being someone who has lifted weights, I was like "how in the world would stretching into strange positions and breathing different help my body?" but once I finally started I've been blown away. I still don't think I would have ever started if it weren't for Yoga With Adriene . She's just so carefree and doesn't make it so serious. All these other videos everyone takes themselves so seriously and I'm not a very serious person, so Adriene's joking and just fun vibe really helped me and made me want to get on the mat. :)
Hi Cystik1! I hope you are doing well! I'm so glad yoga is helping you. I have a very good friend with cystic fibrosis. Your symptoms, including the scoliosis, sound the same. He was doing very poorly and ended up getting a double lung transplant this past summer. He is literally jogging a mile a day and hiking mountains. Because of him people with CF are near and dear to my heart. I just wanted to reach out and wish you the best!
anyone here 2021?! We're on day 11 WELL DONE!!!!I didn't see there was an up to date on that Adriene is doing but at least I have that challenge to do after :D
I'm here day 11 also. Have had a few days in between of rest but already seeing great improvements. I plan on probably restarting this one once I'm done the 30 days before moving onto her newer stuff. 😊
The coolest thing I am learning from this challenge is that I don't have to do yoga for hours a day to get and feel results. I am excited to be able to do yoga for short periods and feel amazing afterwards. I can't wait to keep going!!!!
I've never been athletic or flexible, then my husband deployed and I gained a lot of weight. Then he came home and I got pregnant. I still haven't lost the baby weight 2 years later and I've been feeling really down about myself. When I started this series, I didn't have much hope for it, but I'm realizing that there are good things about my body that I didn't see before. I'm not thin or flexible, but I'm stronger than I thought I was and my body can make the coolest shapes! I guess you're helping me to love the body I have right now! Thank you so much!
This comment makes me really happy. Self-love will help you care for your body even better. Keep up the amazing work! Also, kudos for finding yoga time w a little one running around. (I know your comment is from 2 years ago but ... It was just a really nice one to see.)
My husband and I are 68 and 70 respectively. We started doing this 30 days of Yoga when we were first quarantined. I had done yoga off and on my whole life but never my husband. It's still difficult for both of us but we love it! My husband is the one who drags me out of bed to do our session. Plus Adriene is a kick !!
Taking the time to do this every single day is really helping me handle the anxiety of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks for bringing us a little bit of peace.
I went to ballet classes from the age of 3 until 18 (I was never very good!) and the one thing I could never do was touch my toes without bending my knees. I was surrounded by all these girls who had their hands flat on the floor while mine were probably a foot away from the ground- I've just always been so tight! After 11 days of yoga I suddenly realised today that my fingertips were comfortably on the ground AND I could almost do downward dog with my feet flat today! I know it doesn't sound like a lot but that's a bit victory for me :D Thank you, Adriene xx #30daysofyoga
Adriene, I started doing yoga with you 11 days ago while quarantined. This has seriously maintained my mental stability and strength, and I look forward to learning and practicing more! Thank you so much!
I've been practicing with Adrienne for quite some time and in one of her more recent 30 day journeys she sporadically stopped saying namaste. I had never missed her saying it before but alas here it is! Namaste to my entire yoga family!
I just love how i feel at the end of every day of this yoga journey. I'm more positive and happier, I feel better about myself and I've noticed that I got so much stronger and more flexible just after 11 days! After every session I go through the comments, read the different stories and experiences and feel the love from everyone . Thank you Adriene!
So here I am on day 11.... I have been practicing now for about 5 weeks, before the 30 day challenge I did the beginners videos. I'm almost 50 and have been suffering with serious pain in my hips and hamstrings for about 2 years which resulted in difficulties walking up stairs and hills, and I couldn't even put my socks on without pain. I had pain medication and physiotherapy but neither had much impact on my pain levels. I was beginning to despair about what was going to happen as the pain was just getting worse and worse, waking me up at night and seriously impacting on my quality of life. I did Adriene's Hamstring video and at the end, she said something that I will never forget.... Give It Time. Tight hamstrings take a while to loosen and become more flexible. But even after just 5 weeks I have noticed the following benefits: I can turn to look over my shoulder now without pain... I can put my socks on while standing (believe me, this is a HUGE deal to me, as both pain and balance have improved), my clothes are a little looser, I'm making better decisions about food (even though weight loss was not a goal when starting this), the breathing helps me stay calmer in my everyday life, I'm drinking more water, I'm sleeping way better, my skin and even my hair looks improved, and even though my hamstrings are still tight I've noticed a VAST improvement in the pain levels and I haven't taken any pain medication for about 3 weeks now! Every part of my body from my fingertips to my toes has shown an improvement in muscle tone and I definitely have more energy and tire less easily. Psychologically too, I just feel younger and more excited about life and my future than I have in a long time. All this in only 5 weeks! So if you're humming and ha-ing about doing this video, hang in there and know it gets better and better. (I started really noticing the benefits after a fortnight of daily practice). Adriene is a daily ray of light coming into my life every morning and I will be forever grateful to her for bringing the gift of yoga to the world... for free. Love and light to all and I wish you all the very best on your yoga journey. Namaste!!
Dear Adriene, I just wanted to share with you what your practice has done for me. I have chronic pain after an accident in my back, head and neck. I also suffer from mental fatigue. I started doing your 30-day challenge with my brother, who is a professional soccer player, and we both began to experience the benefits of yoga. I notice how I can prevent my pain by making sure I practice daily, and how I have become stronger and calmer. My brother notices how he is more flexible and agile on the field. Thanks to your challenges I have started practicing regularly and will begin an instructor course this weekend. I want to make yoga an integral part of my life so that I can deal with my pain and fatigue and just improve my quality of life in general. You have truly led me on a healthier path and I am so thankful. Thank you for sharing this with us, and for being so gentle and caring! Much love/Sarah
Day 11: It was difficult to get on the mat today. I felt unusually tired despite getting plenty of rest last night. lt felt like there was a cloud of negativity following me around the house. I'm really glad I headed towards the mat instead of my bed. I feel less anxious about going to work. Feeling calm and at ease is the reason to stay alive. It's lovely!
NotSoSkinny Me Doing yoga w Adrienne 2018. And look at your comments from 2 years ago. About snapping the elastic band attached to your braces 😁. So cute and sweet, Hope all is well this year in your little mouth 👄 , Be blessed little one ..
I'm sorry I just laughed so hard that was so funny 🤣🙏🤣🙏🤣🙏🤣🙏🤣 my Fiance was in the room last night when I did yoga and every time I did lions breathe I laughed and giggled he never even looked my way but just the thought of doing lions breath makes me laugh every single time....
I've done millionss (or so it feels) of your videos and this was my FAVOURITE to date!!! So fun finding goodies from 8 years ago. Thanks for being you Adriene. You're a life changer.
I know I worked in a strong way but I feel so invigorated. That's what I love about my yoga practice. I never finish & think "I'm knackered" but always "I'm ready! What's next?" Love the t-shirt by the way.
Yes, Kate - It is meant to energize, encourage an awaken - not deplete! Glad to see this comment. I left yoga class wiped for way too long! Be careful with some of those power classes. I was so grumpy in my everyday life when I was taking those- my energy was so whack! Love to you. Day 11!!! WHOO!
That's how I often left feeling when I was trying out Bikram. I think the boot camp like energy also didn't work well for me. It felt too negative. It felt like some people were really competing. I like doing yoga at home because I don't have to feel like anyone is competing. I'm just completing!
I always think "I'm ready what's next?". I had to ban myself from doing Yoga before uni/doing uni work otherwise I will literally bin off my work and stay at home doing Yoga all morning haha :D
Who else is here because you love early days, messier and colourful Adriene (with squeaky floorboards) as opposed to her more slick, monochrome vibe these days...? Of course her yoga is still great, it's just an aesthetic thing for me 😄
I’m 64 years old with 4 heart stents and a pacemaker, but I’m doing it, loving it and I’m sticking to it. My cardiologist says it’s one of the best thing I can do for myself. Your sweet, infectious personality gets the day off to a great start. I like that if we do a more vigorous session, you take it easy on us the next day. You keep up the good work and I’ll try to do the same! Namaste
I'd like to take all the truly lovely comments on here, virtually bundle them up and add them to this huge Thank you. Loved today, loving the journey, adore Adriene. A bundle of light and love. Looking forward to day 12 already. Hugs to all wherever you are ❤️❤️🌞
Adriene, I just want to take a moment to thank you for helping me find myself. I have been struggling with my weight and depression for years, and now I am a new mother. I decided to finally do something about it and try yoga, I found your channel and your 30 day yoga challenge. I am on day 11 and I have never felt better about myself!! Thank you so much for opening my eyes!!!! You are an amazing person!!!
being a newbie sometimes i fall behind or forget to follow my breath but i just love your enthusiasm and humor, each day i feel that i get closer to that person i wana be. thank you so much
I think this is my favorite day in this 30 day challenge. I was ready to give up today because yesterday I only did about 8 minutes out of 12 because I got distracted by a phone call and never finished it. I felt guilty and bad about myself for not finishing but today I decided to show up either way and forgive myself. So glad I did. I will not give up and I will continue showing up for myself. Thank you Adriene!!!
Am I the only one who is doing this challenge half way through 2021? And who else can't put their foot, when in down dog, with one big step between their hands? All the way through the video's I can keep up with Adrienne but this move always slows me down. Still really proud of myself doing this challenge so far in 11 days in a row. Never got this far with any challenge or program. I've loved yoga for years but never been very consistent, but now I'm rocking it. Keep it up everyone, lots of love from the Netherlands!
OMG, my heels ALMOST touched the floor in downward dog. Also I've been feeling so much better since I do yoga almost everyday. I've never looked forward to a work out, but now I WANT to do a yoga practice everyday. This Yoga Challenge helps me unbelievably much with my mental health and it took away my back pain! This is amazing, thank you Adriene.
I read similiar experiences in the commets already many times but today it happened to me - at the very end of the practice a beautiful shiver ran through my whole and I started laughing and crying at the same time full of thankfulness. Adriene seriously changed the life of many people for the far better and I am just so thankful to be one of them. Thank you so much, Adriene! You're making this world a better place.
Looking at this makes me feel teary. Nine years ago, I was doing this with you. Oh my goodness, time has flown by so quickly! It was a wonderful memory, I did this with my sister. Sending you light and love. I came back to check on your channel, and it's very heartwarming to see all the success and positive things you've achieved. Wow, more than 12 million subscribers! Seriously, congratulations!! ❤❤
Day 11 ✔️ Hi friends! I started today's practice by reading the comments to motivate myself, and I wanted to thank everyone for sharing your experiences 🙏 I'm starting to feel like I can't describe the changes I feel as I continue doing the practice. There's probably so much happening at a micro level inside my body; it's beginning to heal, drain (the lymphatic system), and balance all of the molecules (cholesterol, testosterone, hormones, etc.) from energy and movement. The last couple of days were really tough for me for different reasons, but today seems like I'm heading out of the woods to some light. I really appreciate the "Don't Give Up" shirt today teacher, as it reminded me that most breakthroughs and changes are about to happen when things become super difficult and I want to quit. It really helped me to think of all these negative thoughts and physical sickness as toxicity purging itself through myself, and allowed me to embrace the suck...since the suck is what makes the victory feel so amazing. Haha, thanks for listening to my rambles, much love to you all and thank you for continuing to teach me!
My heels touched the ground for the first time during downward dog! I am soooo happy It's incredible how much my body has learned in only 11 days of yoga, I feel so grateful for this classes! Thank you Adriene for keeping me company during this quarantine 😁
After I finish with each day's video I can't help but smile or even sometimes giggle and talk to the "video" saying thank you Adriane for practicing yoga with me, waving peace signs! ^_^ She's a real good example of how to be silly and have fun with life! Loving the spirits and the exercise!
I am so happy to be on day 11! I have been going through some very emotionally and mentally trying times, and starting this challenge has helped me tremendously. Taking time for myself to refocus and center is going to lead to great accomplishments. Not to mention, you seem like a really cool person, a lot like someone I would hang with. So, it's almost like having a friend with me as I work to get back to my best me. Thank you
Thank you for your cheeriness …" enjoy where you're at today. How lucky that we have so much to look forward to" I have been in a really difficult place-- and your Lizard pose and positive words uplifted me! Thank you!
Tonight I did this practice by the campfire using a huge log instead of a yoga block. Finishing off in mountain pose breathing in the fresh mountain air looking at the starry night sky enjoying the peacefulness of Mother Nature😍
It's day 11 and i cannot believe how much the views have dropped. If you are here, don't just give up. Yoga is therapy. I love it. I ve just finished day 11 and I love how I am able to work my whole body through this program❤
This one made me release a lot of emotion. I was crying on the forward fold and my tears were streaming up my forehead. I felt a lot better afterwards, really reflective. Thank you
I'm struggling mentally at the moment but I've been struggling since I lost my dad. Decided to try yoga to calm my anxiety and make me appreciate life more. Not sure what it was about this one but the last few breaths made me feel so emotional. I cried & I'm usually someone that keeps my emotions buried away. Thank you. Something is helping 💜
I'm telling anyone who will listen to do this! I feel the best I have in a long, long time. My heels too are now touching the mat in downward facing dog. Woo hoo! Thanks Adriene.
I was so tired this morning that I didn't do my usual morning yoga, I've just done it tonight. I really wish I had done it this morning now, this has been the most enjoyable routine yet and has made me feel really happy and contented. Thanks Adriene, you make me smile and laugh out loud!
I've absolutely been loving this challenge and just the videos in general. On days like day 10 where the day challenge was shorter I followed it up with another session for abs and arms and all the videos are so good. I've already noticed a difference in my posture and how I sit naturally which was starting to become a real problem (a.k.a back problems because of slouching) thank you so much Adriene!!

Day 11 and I am learning more and more about my body and really reconnecting with it. The heels are getting closer to the ground and the back of my knees ache less and less. I am excited to see how my lower back, as well as the back of my legs and thighs get less and less stiff. I feel like I am opening up that energy flow between the lower and the upper part of my body. At the end of todays practice I felt a little crack in my pelvis. It felt good, and I took it as a small sign of appreciation from my body. Thank you Adriene from both my body and my soul!
I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! Full journey comment thread is on the Day 1 video:) [Day 11/30] - Day 11 - This felt so incredible for me today wow, I was really focused on all the moves and positions and just feeling every part of my body being really engaged. I think once this 30 Day challenge is done, I will be coming back to this video daily forever because it targeted where the main site of issue is; my hip flexors. I felt so much warmer and looser after this, can't wait for tomorrow!
I am so impressed with how I'm getting on a mat everyday and how much better mentally and phisically I'm feeling! And I actually only now realized that it's possible for me to finish the challenge! :) Thank you so much, Adriene! x
I don't know how but everyday that I open up a video it is exactly the workout that I need at that very moment. I have been trying to get into yoga for a while and finding this workout challenge was the best thing that happened to me.
This was my best day so far! I have never felt more energized and in tune with my own body. I was extremely excited to get started today and I only felt better as the video went on. My mental attitude progression is absolutely stunning and I couldn't be more grateful to you Adriene. Not only that but I feel myself making small physical progressions as well. I am becoming more flexible and I am no longer incredibly sore every morning. I am so grateful to myself for picking up this challenge and sticking with it.
I feel longer! Every day I am more relaxed and I have found that I deal with stress more calmly now. Becoming more flexible with each day. I LOVE the lion's breath! Yoga has become so much a part of my workout time that I can't see myself not doing it for the rest of my life. 19 days to go!
Deciding to check out your channel was one of the best decisions I've made! Today I noticed that I'm not that far off from being to do a downward facing down with my feet planted on the ground! I feel so much better and happier since I started and just healthy over all. I could never stick with going to the gym and honestly I'm embarrassed to work out in front of people so thank you so much for this! You're an amazing teacher!
Ever since I started yoga, it has become an important part of my life and it's like I got addicted to it. Before training, even if I feel bad, after that I feel better and start my day with vitality. Thank you, dear coach, I am very lucky to have met you.
I love how I'm feeling on day 11. This is the first time a consistent workout routine hasn't felt like a drag. I'm so grateful for these videos, for the strength I've gained ever single day, and for the mental state this practice puts me into to take care of my body the rest of the day. Thanks, Adriene!
Yess! I am ready for day 11! :D We're almost half way there, but honestly- I can't imagine my day without yoga at this point. Thank you Adriene for making my life better :) billion hugs and kisses xoxoxoxox
Day 41 in 2020... I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. Certain poses still take “work” but even in those moments, I still have a sense of ease. Hope everyone’s doing great post-Home (if anyone’s still practicing this series with me). Much love to all 🙏
I’ve always wanted to do yoga but have never committed to a routine. This has really been helpful to me in so many ways. I look forward to it every morning. Still changing lives after 7(+?) years. Thanks to you Adriene 🥰
Little by little I’m getting stronger and more flexible. I didn’t think I would fall in love with yoga and my body before this challenge, yet here I am... in love. I’m noticing the differences in my right and left side for sure, and appreciating them. I have a WHOLE body to do yoga and improve myself with. I am grateful. 🙏🏾
Day 11 Done! I'd only ever heard of Shakti in the context of Shakti kicks so this was a new but really nice practice for me. I always feel so good after doing yoga with Adriene! It's like for those 15, 20, 30 minutes the world is a little bit better! :)
Shakti is an important symbol in Yoga culture. She is on one side of the coin - with dear Shiva on the other. Shakti represents energy, power and empowerment. She represents creative energy, creation, fertility and the feminine energy. In short, Shakti rocks. XOOXOX
Yoga With Adriene Is there a website or something you would recommend for us to get an introduction to the culture around yoga? I´m really interested but a little tired of picking my information from 20 different websites. Either way, thank you for today again! Great practice. Namaste.
Ari Try yogainternational.com - a beautiful resource filled with articles from experts in yoga, kundalini, tantra etc, and not just journalists! (It limits you to 3 articles per month but if you use private browsing you can view as many as you like). Hope this helps :)
2020 crew! I''m doing this challenge for the second time. I've done several of them over the years but this was the first one I ever did and I remembered it being great 😊
I’ve never been much of a workout girl except for walking and I have been out of commission since December 2012 because of my back (had to have surgery) and left hip. Changed my diet to plant-based and no sugar and saw videos of people, some who were told they would never walk unassisted again, who started yoga and have gotten their health back. Well, here I am 9 days in and feeling better each day after even being only able to do 15 minutes of yoga. Grateful for you! ~Namaste
I did this session again to follow up sitting in the car most of the day. I did this series awhile ago, during covid and I like the Shakti flow. I am on my last 30 day session; Yoga Camp. I have done all the 30 day, some calendar work and random sessions since March. Don't know how I'd get through without Adriene.
This was exactly what I needed on a cold, yucky Tuesday morning in Scotland. Feeling calm yet energised and ready to face the day! And you really made me giggle - "I swear I'm sober!" Thanks Adriene, you always brighten my day.
Adriene! Your videos are so freaking wonderful. I just started practicing yoga this year and it has really helped my stiff muscles and is even improving my state of mind. Thank you for offering these great practices for free. The way you explain each pose to beginners (like me) is a must and you do a great job at that. You also bring life to the practice with your playful personality. Thank you very much!
Every morning while fixing breakfast I find myself with Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone" stuck in my head, and I wonder, "WHYY?" This morning I realized it's the little "doo doo doo" music that comes in at the end of each of your videos that kinda matches that tune. Is my brain weird or does this happen to anyone else? haha. Regardless of this silliness, Adriene, I friggin love your videos so much and am very grateful for you. Thank you!
First time doing the monthly calendars this month and I am loving so far, love adding a bit of time on the mat to my morning routine, I can feel myself getting stronger each day and my heels touch the floor in downward dog!
@Yoga With Adriene I am amazed at how fast my body has responded to yoga. Thank you for keeping it real and for being an encouragement to those just starting a practice.
If everyone feels the way I feel towards you when I finish my practices, then there must be soooo much love coming to you. I felt such a loving feeling just now, something I dont't feel for a lot of persons. Thank you for opening my heart just like that...you are blessed.
This really got my blood flowing to the tips of my fingers and toes. My hands are usually cold, so this felt great - warm energy flowing through my body. I enjoyed lion and lizard very much!! :) I am amazed at myself for keeping up with this and doing it every day. I feel my body gaining strength, especially in my wrists which were painful at the beginning. Thank you for making yoga fun and for being so encouraging.
By far my favourite day so far! Had a long and exhausting day and almost called it a night. Thank goodness I didn't, my legs and hips feel amazing! I'm usually pretty tight after busy days of rehearsal. So dreamy now! I can't wait to tag this onto a future day before a run
Although I have been getting great benefits from sorts of yoga I've been doing over the last 15 years, its with these videos that I have been really getting in touch with my body's inner strength. How amazing that we can be so unaware of how to use our body in a manner that optimises our health in body, mind and soul!..Thank you so much Adriene, Although it is obvious that your experience and knowledge in yoga is second to none, I think your attitude and style really makes all the difference...Love Love Love these videos.. Thank you! thank you!
I've been doing this yoga challenge ever since I left my job in hopes of becoming happier, and I think this challenge has helped me a lot! Daily practice of this and meditation has helped to quiet my mind and just enjoy the time and space that I've given myself. My bouldering has surprisingly been improved as well, thanks to yoga. I'm really impressed with the mental benefits so far and look forward to continue checking in with my body over the rest of the month. "How lucky we are to have so much to look forward to." Beautifully said, Adriene. ❤️
(I was also really surprised by how quickly this particular session passed by. I think I was expecting something more intense lol, but there is value in taking it easy sometimes. I just want to keep showing up to this challenge no matter what!)
Yay, just finished day 11! I'm going on and off the challenge but I keep coming back. I want to finish ALL OF THEM in the right order and then start on the new 2016 one! Loving that lizard pose, it's like an advanced plank!
My feet almost touched the floor in downward dog today! I can't believe how far I've come in 11 days. I am loving this challenge and actually look forward to getting home and doing some yoga, thanks and much love Adriene x
Thank you Adriene, I know I bring myself to the mat each day, but I couldn't do it all without ya! Thank you for providing this series and guidance, and making each practice and others accessible to everyone. This is truly a gift. From my heart, thank you so much. I love you and everyone else here on their journey to feeling good, loving and finding themselves, and who are also IN HEAVEN ON DAY 11!!!
Still one of the best you've ever done. All of them are amazing don't get me wrong. But there is something about these hip openers that really release all the tension. This is my bad-mood-cure sequence! Namaste sister yogi!
Today's practice was the first day I really "got" how the forward fold is supposed to feel, and it was awesome! Something just clicked. This 30 day challenge is great. Thank you so much for making it available.
Adriene, I am so happy you do what you do because I keep coming back...doing the 30 days of Yoga AGAIN! Day 11 today was amazing especially for my neck. You are awesome and many thanks! Namaste.
Day 11: Today was the first time I tried to listen more than watch. I kinda of felt like a badass doing this today! It did feel like the practice took a long time but my struggle with some moves, seconds turn into minutes. The last positions - where our legs are in a mid squat and we turn to the east and west...oh my goodness...that was a hip and eye opener!! Gonna have to do that pose more often! Thank you again Adirene! Namaste!
Thank you for these 30 day practices Adriene. I hope you know how absolutely grateful I, and many others feel to have these. It has been a highlight of every single day for me.
Made it to day 11 and let me just say THANK YOU ADRIENE! Everyday is fun, calming, challenging and all around awesome. Your bubbly, sweet and real personality helps me feel like I can access the Yogi club too! After a shoulder break and a super stressful finish to my masters degree I'm looking forward to completing my 30 days and feeling better in touch with my body, my breath and the universe at my toes... then maybe I'll just do it all over again!
very good practice this morning, A thank you! I like so much working on the opening of my hips, they get more flexible with the exercise. Have a good day!
I was taking day 11 yesterday , my mother passed by ( she doe not speak english) and she said with a big smile " when you hear the voice of this girl it is not like she is giving a youga lesson, but it is like she is giving LOVE!" and yes adriene you are giving us so much love!!! thank you so much for what you are doing for us!!
That is so awesome. I love this 💙
This is so sweet ❤ made me smile!
So true, she’s giving us love!
@@lizsmith1681 my mum is amazing hahaha I love her
@@hindassia1741 so so true I try to tell people how good Adrienne is and this sums her up beautifully ,your mum is a clever intuitive lady x
Anyone here in 2024? Love you adrein ❤
I'm here! ❤
I am here❤
Here! 🧡🖤
I’m here starting at the beginning!
Me too!!🎉
I have never stuck with a work out challenge for so long. Previously to this video I have never done yoga but now I am on day 11 and I am OBSESSED! I really can't see my day without yoga now. I truly have found a new passion that I plan to keep up with. Thanks for making yoga not so scary and fun Adriene! You truly have changed my day to day life not just physically but mentally as well.
+Kiara Ficklin I know what you felt girl! It is a good way of being addicted to something like yoga :3
same here! I feel exactly the same way!
you
Kiara Ficklin stfu. i better see you post again at day 30
someone should try meditation as well.. easy buddy
hi adriene! i just wanted to thank you - today is my 25th birthday, but more importantly it's day 11 and i am 11 days sober. thank you for everything you do.
Happy Birthday!! Sending you love and strength! You got this!
I just wanted to say this to anyone who needs it, its okay to take a break and skip a workout if you need a day off. 💖This is not a race, its a journey. 💖
Enjoy every moment of it.
Have a beautiful day!
Thank you so much for this. I haven’t been feeling motivated to do anything these past few days and I felt so guilty for it. Seeing your comment made me feel as if a weight was taken off my shoulders. I hope you and everyone else out there as well have a good day or night!
Thank you! I've skipped a day already so this is a wonderful comment! Still going though! I love this challenge.
Hey, Adriene! I know you get a billion comments, but I just have to say how thankful I am to have found your videos! I have Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic lung condition. With CF, your lungs get filled with mucus and you can't clear them like normal and it results in numerous hospitalizations and lung damage. It also causes you to cough a ton. With CF, you can cough so hard that you pull muscles, dislocate ribs, pass out, etc. Well, for the last 2-3 years, my back has slowly been getting worse. I have scoliosis and the coughing and pulling muscles has just made it horrible. My prescribed muscle relaxers and I really don't like taking things like that. Tons of people told me to try yoga, so I ordered a Mat and browsed a billion videos and practices trying to find the perfect one. Yours just spoke to me. It wasn't intimidating and made me want to start. I'm about to do this video (Day 11) of the challenge, and just from doing the beginner courses and this 30 Day Challenge, my back has been almost completely pain free! Not only that, but focusing on the breathing helps my lungs a ton. It's also amazing how flexible/strong I've gotten in such a short amount of time. So, thanks so much, Adriene! You absolutely rock.
Keep em up, my friend!
I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better :) i thought yoga was just a hipster fad thing until i tried it out with Adrienne. You don't need an expensive mat and latest must-have yoga pants plus a hefty monthly fee.
Really, it takes just a mat, and internet connection. :)
Haha, same! Being someone who has lifted weights, I was like "how in the world would stretching into strange positions and breathing different help my body?" but once I finally started I've been blown away. I still don't think I would have ever started if it weren't for Yoga With Adriene . She's just so carefree and doesn't make it so serious. All these other videos everyone takes themselves so seriously and I'm not a very serious person, so Adriene's joking and just fun vibe really helped me and made me want to get on the mat. :)
Comments like this make me so emotional!
Hi Cystik1! I hope you are doing well! I'm so glad yoga is helping you. I have a very good friend with cystic fibrosis. Your symptoms, including the scoliosis, sound the same. He was doing very poorly and ended up getting a double lung transplant this past summer. He is literally jogging a mile a day and hiking mountains. Because of him people with CF are near and dear to my heart. I just wanted to reach out and wish you the best!
This makes me so happy!! I love hearing how yoga helps other people! Adriene is a God send
anyone here 2021?! We're on day 11 WELL DONE!!!!I didn't see there was an up to date on that Adriene is doing but at least I have that challenge to do after :D
Me too
I'm here day 11 also. Have had a few days in between of rest but already seeing great improvements. I plan on probably restarting this one once I'm done the 30 days before moving onto her newer stuff. 😊
@@tommyh265 Same, at least gonna get my body to move and recognise some movements before I move on farther into it.
Ps. love the surname ;)
Me! On day 11 had a couple of rest days. It’s just beginning to feel a little easier, thank goodness And I’m starting to enjoy it more.
@@sallycorbin6631 I just finished my day 11. I am here.
Can't believe ive maintained this for 11 days during lockdown 2 UK.. i can see huge improvements. See you tomorrow peeps
The coolest thing I am learning from this challenge is that I don't have to do yoga for hours a day to get and feel results. I am excited to be able to do yoga for short periods and feel amazing afterwards. I can't wait to keep going!!!!
Yes, hopefully by the end of this experience our home practiced will be born, inspired or renewed! Love to you Shanna!
B
Me too. I am amazed at how effective just 10 minutes a day can be.
I've never been athletic or flexible, then my husband deployed and I gained a lot of weight. Then he came home and I got pregnant. I still haven't lost the baby weight 2 years later and I've been feeling really down about myself. When I started this series, I didn't have much hope for it, but I'm realizing that there are good things about my body that I didn't see before. I'm not thin or flexible, but I'm stronger than I thought I was and my body can make the coolest shapes! I guess you're helping me to love the body I have right now! Thank you so much!
wow thats such a nice thing. i hope you find truly who u are. you are beautiful in your own way
This comment makes me really happy. Self-love will help you care for your body even better. Keep up the amazing work! Also, kudos for finding yoga time w a little one running around. (I know your comment is from 2 years ago but ... It was just a really nice one to see.)
you go ! awesome
My husband and I are 68 and 70 respectively. We started doing this 30 days of Yoga when we were first quarantined. I had done yoga off and on my whole life but never my husband. It's still difficult for both of us but we love it! My husband is the one who drags me out of bed to do our session. Plus Adriene is a kick !!
Taking the time to do this every single day is really helping me handle the anxiety of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks for bringing us a little bit of peace.
Me: Day One [music starts playing] - "Oh Thank Goddess!"
Also Me: Day Eleven [music starts playing] - "What! That's all?"
Trueeeeee
And i thought that i'm the only one 😂😂 yesterday's challenge was only 15 min.. The music started playing and i was like whaaattt! That's all?
It's true lol it's so true
You are right!
I was thinking the same thing
I’m totally with you! I feel like I can actually do it!
I went to ballet classes from the age of 3 until 18 (I was never very good!) and the one thing I could never do was touch my toes without bending my knees. I was surrounded by all these girls who had their hands flat on the floor while mine were probably a foot away from the ground- I've just always been so tight! After 11 days of yoga I suddenly realised today that my fingertips were comfortably on the ground AND I could almost do downward dog with my feet flat today! I know it doesn't sound like a lot but that's a bit victory for me :D Thank you, Adriene xx #30daysofyoga
Awesome! Go you! :) x
same goes for me. it took 5 days and voila, i was touching the ground :)
Rebecca B j
It's sounds a victory to me as well 👏
Adriene, I started doing yoga with you 11 days ago while quarantined. This has seriously maintained my mental stability and strength, and I look forward to learning and practicing more! Thank you so much!
I've been practicing with Adrienne for quite some time and in one of her more recent 30 day journeys she sporadically stopped saying namaste. I had never missed her saying it before but alas here it is! Namaste to my entire yoga family!
Loved the lizard pose! Never done that before, it was great!
yes, i love it too!!!
I just love how i feel at the end of every day of this yoga journey. I'm more positive and happier, I feel better about myself and I've noticed that I got so much stronger and more flexible just after 11 days! After every session I go through the comments, read the different stories and experiences and feel the love from everyone . Thank you Adriene!
So here I am on day 11.... I have been practicing now for about 5 weeks, before the 30 day challenge I did the beginners videos. I'm almost 50 and have been suffering with serious pain in my hips and hamstrings for about 2 years which resulted in difficulties walking up stairs and hills, and I couldn't even put my socks on without pain. I had pain medication and physiotherapy but neither had much impact on my pain levels. I was beginning to despair about what was going to happen as the pain was just getting worse and worse, waking me up at night and seriously impacting on my quality of life.
I did Adriene's Hamstring video and at the end, she said something that I will never forget.... Give It Time. Tight hamstrings take a while to loosen and become more flexible. But even after just 5 weeks I have noticed the following benefits:
I can turn to look over my shoulder now without pain... I can put my socks on while standing (believe me, this is a HUGE deal to me, as both pain and balance have improved), my clothes are a little looser, I'm making better decisions about food (even though weight loss was not a goal when starting this), the breathing helps me stay calmer in my everyday life, I'm drinking more water, I'm sleeping way better, my skin and even my hair looks improved, and even though my hamstrings are still tight I've noticed a VAST improvement in the pain levels and I haven't taken any pain medication for about 3 weeks now!
Every part of my body from my fingertips to my toes has shown an improvement in muscle tone and I definitely have more energy and tire less easily. Psychologically too, I just feel younger and more excited about life and my future than I have in a long time. All this in only 5 weeks!
So if you're humming and ha-ing about doing this video, hang in there and know it gets better and better. (I started really noticing the benefits after a fortnight of daily practice). Adriene is a daily ray of light coming into my life every morning and I will be forever grateful to her for bringing the gift of yoga to the world... for free.
Love and light to all and I wish you all the very best on your yoga journey. Namaste!!
Dear Adriene, I just wanted to share with you what your practice has done for me. I have chronic pain after an accident in my back, head and neck. I also suffer from mental fatigue. I started doing your 30-day challenge with my brother, who is a professional soccer player, and we both began to experience the benefits of yoga. I notice how I can prevent my pain by making sure I practice daily, and how I have become stronger and calmer. My brother notices how he is more flexible and agile on the field.
Thanks to your challenges I have started practicing regularly and will begin an instructor course this weekend. I want to make yoga an integral part of my life so that I can deal with my pain and fatigue and just improve my quality of life in general. You have truly led me on a healthier path and I am so thankful. Thank you for sharing this with us, and for being so gentle and caring! Much love/Sarah
Day 11: It was difficult to get on the mat today. I felt unusually tired despite getting plenty of rest last night. lt felt like there was a cloud of negativity following me around the house. I'm really glad I headed towards the mat instead of my bed. I feel less anxious about going to work. Feeling calm and at ease is the reason to stay alive. It's lovely!
Had the same feeling yesterday and didn't make it onto the mat until 7 pm. I'm so glad I did it then and was feeling so much better afterwards!
My heels are getting close to touching the mat in downward dog!!!
Mine too!
mine to. I actually noticed it today. WOW its amazing how the body changes in such small ways but totally makes a difference.
Mine too... and in sitting forward fold i can touch my feet! Two weeks ago I could only go shortly past my knee.
Same!
lovinglaurenx yay
Got a little too excited about lion's breath. I snapped the elastic band attached to my braces in my mouth ...
NotSoSkinny Me As someone who also had to wear those dreaded rubber bands, I couldn’t stop laughing at your comment
NotSoSkinny Me Doing yoga w Adrienne 2018. And look at your comments from 2 years ago. About snapping the elastic band attached to your braces 😁. So cute and sweet, Hope all is well this year in your little mouth 👄 , Be blessed little one ..
I'm sorry I just laughed so hard that was so funny 🤣🙏🤣🙏🤣🙏🤣🙏🤣 my Fiance was in the room last night when I did yoga and every time I did lions breathe I laughed and giggled he never even looked my way but just the thought of doing lions breath makes me laugh every single time....
omg this reminded me of high school when i would yawn and my elastic bands would snap 🤣🤣❤️
Oof
I've done millionss (or so it feels) of your videos and this was my FAVOURITE to date!!! So fun finding goodies from 8 years ago. Thanks for being you Adriene. You're a life changer.
I know I worked in a strong way but I feel so invigorated. That's what I love about my yoga practice. I never finish & think "I'm knackered" but always "I'm ready! What's next?"
Love the t-shirt by the way.
Yes, Kate - It is meant to energize, encourage an awaken - not deplete! Glad to see this comment. I left yoga class wiped for way too long! Be careful with some of those power classes. I was so grumpy in my everyday life when I was taking those- my energy was so whack! Love to you. Day 11!!! WHOO!
That's how I often left feeling when I was trying out Bikram. I think the boot camp like energy also didn't work well for me. It felt too negative. It felt like some people were really competing. I like doing yoga at home because I don't have to feel like anyone is competing. I'm just completing!
missdarque Completing not competing, think that should be everyone's daily yoga mantra!
When you said "love the t-shirt" for a second I thought there was a " I did the 30-day challenge" t-shirt. Idea in the making, Yoga With Adriene ?
I always think "I'm ready what's next?". I had to ban myself from doing Yoga before uni/doing uni work otherwise I will literally bin off my work and stay at home doing Yoga all morning haha :D
Who else is here because you love early days, messier and colourful Adriene (with squeaky floorboards) as opposed to her more slick, monochrome vibe these days...? Of course her yoga is still great, it's just an aesthetic thing for me 😄
I’m 64 years old with 4 heart stents and a pacemaker, but I’m doing it, loving it and I’m sticking to it. My cardiologist says it’s one of the best thing I can do for myself. Your sweet, infectious personality gets the day off to a great start. I like that if we do a more vigorous session, you take it easy on us the next day. You keep up the good work and I’ll try to do the same! Namaste
I'd like to take all the truly lovely comments on here, virtually bundle them up and add them to this huge Thank you. Loved today, loving the journey, adore Adriene. A bundle of light and love. Looking forward to day 12 already. Hugs to all wherever you are ❤️❤️🌞
Adriene, I just want to take a moment to thank you for helping me find myself. I have been struggling with my weight and depression for years, and now I am a new mother. I decided to finally do something about it and try yoga, I found your channel and your 30 day yoga challenge. I am on day 11 and I have never felt better about myself!! Thank you so much for opening my eyes!!!! You are an amazing person!!!
being a newbie sometimes i fall behind or forget to follow my breath but i just love your enthusiasm and humor, each day i feel that i get closer to that person i wana be. thank you so much
I think this is my favorite day in this 30 day challenge. I was ready to give up today because yesterday I only did about 8 minutes out of 12 because I got distracted by a phone call and never finished it. I felt guilty and bad about myself for not finishing but today I decided to show up either way and forgive myself. So glad I did. I will not give up and I will continue showing up for myself. Thank you Adriene!!!
Day 11 and I realize that I love all the poses that focus on stretching. I never realized before how much I needed it.
Feeling better and better every day.
any coronavirus lockdowners 2020 still here?
Yep!!
Yes!!
Here.i figured if im gonna gain all this weight i might as well have good posture
yes, still going!
Yes.
Am I the only one who is doing this challenge half way through 2021?
And who else can't put their foot, when in down dog, with one big step between their hands? All the way through the video's I can keep up with Adrienne but this move always slows me down. Still really proud of myself doing this challenge so far in 11 days in a row. Never got this far with any challenge or program. I've loved yoga for years but never been very consistent, but now I'm rocking it. Keep it up everyone, lots of love from the Netherlands!
haha I always struggle with this so much too
OMG, my heels ALMOST touched the floor in downward dog.
Also I've been feeling so much better since I do yoga almost everyday. I've never looked forward to a work out, but now I WANT to do a yoga practice everyday.
This Yoga Challenge helps me unbelievably much with my mental health and it took away my back pain! This is amazing, thank you Adriene.
I read similiar experiences in the commets already many times but today it happened to me - at the very end of the practice a beautiful shiver ran through my whole and I started laughing and crying at the same time full of thankfulness. Adriene seriously changed the life of many people for the far better and I am just so thankful to be one of them. Thank you so much, Adriene! You're making this world a better place.
I have never done 11 days of yoga or any type of exercise in a row EVER. Thank you Adriene for inspiring me at just the right time.
Looking at this makes me feel teary. Nine years ago, I was doing this with you. Oh my goodness, time has flown by so quickly! It was a wonderful memory, I did this with my sister. Sending you light and love. I came back to check on your channel, and it's very heartwarming to see all the success and positive things you've achieved. Wow, more than 12 million subscribers! Seriously, congratulations!! ❤❤
Day 11 ✔️ Hi friends! I started today's practice by reading the comments to motivate myself, and I wanted to thank everyone for sharing your experiences 🙏 I'm starting to feel like I can't describe the changes I feel as I continue doing the practice. There's probably so much happening at a micro level inside my body; it's beginning to heal, drain (the lymphatic system), and balance all of the molecules (cholesterol, testosterone, hormones, etc.) from energy and movement. The last couple of days were really tough for me for different reasons, but today seems like I'm heading out of the woods to some light. I really appreciate the "Don't Give Up" shirt today teacher, as it reminded me that most breakthroughs and changes are about to happen when things become super difficult and I want to quit. It really helped me to think of all these negative thoughts and physical sickness as toxicity purging itself through myself, and allowed me to embrace the suck...since the suck is what makes the victory feel so amazing. Haha, thanks for listening to my rambles, much love to you all and thank you for continuing to teach me!
My heels touched the ground for the first time during downward dog! I am soooo happy
It's incredible how much my body has learned in only 11 days of yoga, I feel so grateful for this classes! Thank you Adriene for keeping me company during this quarantine 😁
After I finish with each day's video I can't help but smile or even sometimes giggle and talk to the "video" saying thank you Adriane for practicing yoga with me, waving peace signs! ^_^ She's a real good example of how to be silly and have fun with life! Loving the spirits and the exercise!
Thank you, Adriene and to the whole community!
I am so happy to be on day 11! I have been going through some very emotionally and mentally trying times, and starting this challenge has helped me tremendously. Taking time for myself to refocus and center is going to lead to great accomplishments. Not to mention, you seem like a really cool person, a lot like someone I would hang with. So, it's almost like having a friend with me as I work to get back to my best me. Thank you
Thank you for your cheeriness …" enjoy where you're at today. How lucky that we have so much to look forward to" I have been in a really difficult place-- and your Lizard pose and positive words uplifted me! Thank you!
Tonight I did this practice by the campfire using a huge log instead of a yoga block. Finishing off in mountain pose breathing in the fresh mountain air looking at the starry night sky enjoying the peacefulness of Mother Nature😍
It's day 11 and i cannot believe how much the views have dropped. If you are here, don't just give up. Yoga is therapy. I love it. I ve just finished day 11 and I love how I am able to work my whole body through this program❤
This one made me release a lot of emotion. I was crying on the forward fold and my tears were streaming up my forehead. I felt a lot better afterwards, really reflective. Thank you
Today my heels touched the floor in down dog! I was like: WHAAAAAAAT? and even shouted it out loud :D
+Klára Prchlíková Congrats!!!! Mine still don't touch but they are getting there :)
They surely will eventually. I keep my fingers crossed :)
No kidding my heels touched the floor today too! Exactly how I feel "whaaaaaaat!?"
That is so wierdly amazing! Such a co-incidence :D Keep working beautiful. I am currently day 18 and I am feeling awesome :) Good luck xxx
+Klára Prchlíková how long did it take you? Its one of my goals and i just want to make an estimate about how long it will take me lol.
Amazing practice with you Adrienne. Thank you for your knowledge and exceptional teaching. Namaste, my friend.
Using this 30 day yoga to get through online school at the moment :) Anyone here in 2021?
Yep
I'm struggling mentally at the moment but I've been struggling since I lost my dad. Decided to try yoga to calm my anxiety and make me appreciate life more. Not sure what it was about this one but the last few breaths made me feel so emotional. I cried & I'm usually someone that keeps my emotions buried away. Thank you. Something is helping 💜
I'm telling anyone who will listen to do this! I feel the best I have in a long, long time. My heels too are now touching the mat in downward facing dog. Woo hoo! Thanks Adriene.
i did not took the day 11 yesterday, due to personal reasons and now im back and ready as ever :). thanks again adrienne
I was so tired this morning that I didn't do my usual morning yoga, I've just done it tonight. I really wish I had done it this morning now, this has been the most enjoyable routine yet and has made me feel really happy and contented. Thanks Adriene, you make me smile and laugh out loud!
I really appreciate your 30 day Yoga practices, Adriene. I've been noticing a little bit of improvement everyday!
I've absolutely been loving this challenge and just the videos in general. On days like day 10 where the day challenge was shorter I followed it up with another session for abs and arms and all the videos are so good. I've already noticed a difference in my posture and how I sit naturally which was starting to become a real problem (a.k.a back problems because of slouching) thank you so much Adriene!!
Day 11 and I am learning more and more about my body and really reconnecting with it. The heels are getting closer to the ground and the back of my knees ache less and less.
I am excited to see how my lower back, as well as the back of my legs and thighs get less and less stiff. I feel like I am opening up that energy flow between the lower and the upper part of my body. At the end of todays practice I felt a little crack in my pelvis. It felt good, and I took it as a small sign of appreciation from my body. Thank you Adriene from both my body and my soul!
I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! Full journey comment thread is on the Day 1 video:) [Day 11/30]
-
Day 11 - This felt so incredible for me today wow, I was really focused on all the moves and positions and just feeling every part of my body being really engaged. I think once this 30 Day challenge is done, I will be coming back to this video daily forever because it targeted where the main site of issue is; my hip flexors. I felt so much warmer and looser after this, can't wait for tomorrow!
I am so impressed with how I'm getting on a mat everyday and how much better mentally and phisically I'm feeling! And I actually only now realized that it's possible for me to finish the challenge! :)
Thank you so much, Adriene! x
This was definitely the day I've enjoyed most so far! I'm feeling way more able for all the poses and I love the lizard pose!
I don't know how but everyday that I open up a video it is exactly the workout that I need at that very moment. I have been trying to get into yoga for a while and finding this workout challenge was the best thing that happened to me.
This was my best day so far! I have never felt more energized and in tune with my own body. I was extremely excited to get started today and I only felt better as the video went on. My mental attitude progression is absolutely stunning and I couldn't be more grateful to you Adriene. Not only that but I feel myself making small physical progressions as well. I am becoming more flexible and I am no longer incredibly sore every morning. I am so grateful to myself for picking up this challenge and sticking with it.
I feel longer! Every day I am more relaxed and I have found that I deal with stress more calmly now. Becoming more flexible with each day. I LOVE the lion's breath! Yoga has become so much a part of my workout time that I can't see myself not doing it for the rest of my life. 19 days to go!
Deciding to check out your channel was one of the best decisions I've made! Today I noticed that I'm not that far off from being to do a downward facing down with my feet planted on the ground! I feel so much better and happier since I started and just healthy over all. I could never stick with going to the gym and honestly I'm embarrassed to work out in front of people so thank you so much for this! You're an amazing teacher!
Ever since I started yoga, it has become an important part of my life and it's like I got addicted to it. Before training, even if I feel bad, after that I feel better and start my day with vitality. Thank you, dear coach, I am very lucky to have met you.
I love how I'm feeling on day 11. This is the first time a consistent workout routine hasn't felt like a drag. I'm so grateful for these videos, for the strength I've gained ever single day, and for the mental state this practice puts me into to take care of my body the rest of the day. Thanks, Adriene!
Yess! I am ready for day 11! :D We're almost half way there, but honestly- I can't imagine my day without yoga at this point. Thank you Adriene for making my life better :) billion hugs and kisses xoxoxoxox
Day 41 in 2020... I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. Certain poses still take “work” but even in those moments, I still have a sense of ease. Hope everyone’s doing great post-Home (if anyone’s still practicing this series with me). Much love to all 🙏
I’ve always wanted to do yoga but have never committed to a routine. This has really been helpful to me in so many ways. I look forward to it every morning. Still changing lives after 7(+?) years. Thanks to you Adriene 🥰
Little by little I’m getting stronger and more flexible. I didn’t think I would fall in love with yoga and my body before this challenge, yet here I am... in love. I’m noticing the differences in my right and left side for sure, and appreciating them. I have a WHOLE body to do yoga and improve myself with. I am grateful. 🙏🏾
Day 11 Done! I'd only ever heard of Shakti in the context of Shakti kicks so this was a new but really nice practice for me. I always feel so good after doing yoga with Adriene! It's like for those 15, 20, 30 minutes the world is a little bit better! :)
Shakti is an important symbol in Yoga culture. She is on one side of the coin - with dear Shiva on the other. Shakti represents energy, power and empowerment. She represents creative energy, creation, fertility and the feminine energy.
In short, Shakti rocks.
XOOXOX
Yoga With Adriene
Is there a website or something you would recommend for us to get an introduction to the culture around yoga? I´m really interested but a little tired of picking my information from 20 different websites. Either way, thank you for today again! Great practice. Namaste.
Ari Try yogainternational.com - a beautiful resource filled with articles from experts in yoga, kundalini, tantra etc, and not just journalists! (It limits you to 3 articles per month but if you use private browsing you can view as many as you like). Hope this helps :)
Any 2019 crew out there?! Still feeling good about this 30 day challenge 😎
Etienne, I'm doing the challenge now (for the first time). Just finished Day 10 and I feel SO GOOD!
Yep me too, am loving it 💕💕💕
And me yayyy x
2020 crew!
2020 crew! I''m doing this challenge for the second time. I've done several of them over the years but this was the first one I ever did and I remembered it being great 😊
I’ve never been much of a workout girl except for walking and I have been out of commission since December 2012 because of my back (had to have surgery) and left hip. Changed my diet to plant-based and no sugar and saw videos of people, some who were told they would never walk unassisted again, who started yoga and have gotten their health back. Well, here I am 9 days in and feeling better each day after even being only able to do 15 minutes of yoga. Grateful for you!
~Namaste
I did this session again to follow up sitting in the car most of the day. I did this series awhile ago, during covid and I like the Shakti flow. I am on my last 30 day session; Yoga Camp. I have done all the 30 day, some calendar work and random sessions since March. Don't know how I'd get through without Adriene.
When you didn't say namaste at the end I was like 'omg... who is she and why did she take Adriene?'!!
After discovering your channel I can't imagine a day without yoga! Also those series are amazing!
This was exactly what I needed on a cold, yucky Tuesday morning in Scotland. Feeling calm yet energised and ready to face the day! And you really made me giggle - "I swear I'm sober!"
Thanks Adriene, you always brighten my day.
Adriene! Your videos are so freaking wonderful. I just started practicing yoga this year and it has really helped my stiff muscles and is even improving my state of mind. Thank you for offering these great practices for free. The way you explain each pose to beginners (like me) is a must and you do a great job at that. You also bring life to the practice with your playful personality. Thank you very much!
Every morning while fixing breakfast I find myself with Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone" stuck in my head, and I wonder, "WHYY?" This morning I realized it's the little "doo doo doo" music that comes in at the end of each of your videos that kinda matches that tune. Is my brain weird or does this happen to anyone else? haha.
Regardless of this silliness, Adriene, I friggin love your videos so much and am very grateful for you. Thank you!
First time doing the monthly calendars this month and I am loving so far, love adding a bit of time on the mat to my morning routine, I can feel myself getting stronger each day and my heels touch the floor in downward dog!
@Yoga With Adriene I am amazed at how fast my body has responded to yoga. Thank you for keeping it real and for being an encouragement to those just starting a practice.
If everyone feels the way I feel towards you when I finish my practices, then there must be soooo much love coming to you. I felt such a loving feeling just now, something I dont't feel for a lot of persons. Thank you for opening my heart just like that...you are blessed.
This really got my blood flowing to the tips of my fingers and toes. My hands are usually cold, so this felt great - warm energy flowing through my body. I enjoyed lion and lizard very much!! :) I am amazed at myself for keeping up with this and doing it every day. I feel my body gaining strength, especially in my wrists which were painful at the beginning. Thank you for making yoga fun and for being so encouraging.
By far my favourite day so far! Had a long and exhausting day and almost called it a night. Thank goodness I didn't, my legs and hips feel amazing! I'm usually pretty tight after busy days of rehearsal. So dreamy now! I can't wait to tag this onto a future day before a run
Although I have been getting great benefits from sorts of yoga I've been doing over the last 15 years, its with these videos that I have been really getting in touch with my body's inner strength. How amazing that we can be so unaware of how to use our body in a manner that optimises our health in body, mind and soul!..Thank you so much Adriene, Although it is obvious that your experience and knowledge in yoga is second to none, I think your attitude and style really makes all the difference...Love Love Love these videos.. Thank you! thank you!
I've been doing this yoga challenge ever since I left my job in hopes of becoming happier, and I think this challenge has helped me a lot! Daily practice of this and meditation has helped to quiet my mind and just enjoy the time and space that I've given myself. My bouldering has surprisingly been improved as well, thanks to yoga. I'm really impressed with the mental benefits so far and look forward to continue checking in with my body over the rest of the month. "How lucky we are to have so much to look forward to." Beautifully said, Adriene. ❤️
(I was also really surprised by how quickly this particular session passed by. I think I was expecting something more intense lol, but there is value in taking it easy sometimes. I just want to keep showing up to this challenge no matter what!)
This lady is brilliant!
Yay, just finished day 11! I'm going on and off the challenge but I keep coming back. I want to finish ALL OF THEM in the right order and then start on the new 2016 one! Loving that lizard pose, it's like an advanced plank!
My feet almost touched the floor in downward dog today! I can't believe how far I've come in 11 days. I am loving this challenge and actually look forward to getting home and doing some yoga, thanks and much love Adriene x
Thank you Adriene, I know I bring myself to the mat each day, but I couldn't do it all without ya! Thank you for providing this series and guidance, and making each practice and others accessible to everyone. This is truly a gift. From my heart, thank you so much. I love you and everyone else here on their journey to feeling good, loving and finding themselves, and who are also IN HEAVEN ON DAY 11!!!
Still one of the best you've ever done. All of them are amazing don't get me wrong. But there is something about these hip openers that really release all the tension. This is my bad-mood-cure sequence! Namaste sister yogi!
Today's practice was the first day I really "got" how the forward fold is supposed to feel, and it was awesome! Something just clicked. This 30 day challenge is great. Thank you so much for making it available.
Adriene, I am so happy you do what you do because I keep coming back...doing the 30 days of Yoga AGAIN! Day 11 today was amazing especially for my neck. You are awesome and many thanks! Namaste.
Day 11: Today was the first time I tried to listen more than watch. I kinda of felt like a badass doing this today! It did feel like the practice took a long time but my struggle with some moves, seconds turn into minutes. The last positions - where our legs are in a mid squat and we turn to the east and west...oh my goodness...that was a hip and eye opener!! Gonna have to do that pose more often! Thank you again Adirene! Namaste!
MY FOREARMS TOUCHED THE FLOOR ON THAT HIP STRETCH!!! YALL I DID NOT KNOW I WAS CAPABLE OF THAT!!! I AM A BIG GIRL AND I AM GETTING FLEXIBLE!!!
I feel really relaxed after this amazing practice! Loved it!
Wonderful!
Thank you for these 30 day practices Adriene. I hope you know how absolutely grateful I, and many others feel to have these. It has been a highlight of every single day for me.
Made it to day 11 and let me just say THANK YOU ADRIENE! Everyday is fun, calming, challenging and all around awesome. Your bubbly, sweet and real personality helps me feel like I can access the Yogi club too! After a shoulder break and a super stressful finish to my masters degree I'm looking forward to completing my 30 days and feeling better in touch with my body, my breath and the universe at my toes... then maybe I'll just do it all over again!
very good practice this morning, A thank you! I like so much working on the opening of my hips, they get more flexible with the exercise. Have a good day!
Right on - something we all need! Yes! Have a good one!
