    Got very frustrated with this one and felt very weak, so I stopped about 9 minutes in and scrolled through the comments. I saw so many people expressing similar feelings and made it all the way, so I actually kept going--and then I did my first side plank EVER! Oh my gosh! I feel stronger than ever now! Thank you YWA community!!!

    Day 3 - Embody. One of my routines after completing a YWA practice: reading the comment section and looking for comments that are similar to how I feel during the practice. Don't let your frustration discourage you. You can do it. If not today, one day you will. I still remember how frustrated I was the first time I did this practice 2 yrs ago. My arms were shaking, my knees were burning. And today, repeating this practice for Day 3 - Embody, I can feel how much my body has changed. I can do side plank smoothly without bending one knee for additional support.

      Day 3 of Embody for me too. I did MOVE in Jan/Feb and grew to look forward to my time on the mat (for me around 5pm). Upper body is a challenge for me but I found I could just about manage this on my knees and feel I could come back and practice this one a bit more. So many other yoga practices leave me frustrated and feeling disheartened but Adriene you have a gift of loving encouragement for us who are learning late in life. Thank you! x

    With my left arm still sore, and my body seemingly lower on strength, I still managed this, even a fair share in full plank. Still, I was a little discouraged afterwards until I read my comment from two months ago when I expressed the difficulty then as well. So now I am quite happy because my arm is not feeling as good as it did then but I finished the practice. Don't give up. Pause if you need to.

      Keep doing yoga, you'll get stronger! When I first started, I could hardly hold even down dog for very long. My wrists would hurt and I thought I simply had weak wrists and that it was just going to be that way for me, but I kept going to class, not expecting that to change really. But it did! Everything gets stronger. Keep doing yoga and come back to this one an a couple months and see how you do then! Then try it again some time after that and see how you do then! You'll notice differences. I've now been doing yoga every day with Adriene and notice new differences regularly. So far I've listed a 30 day review and 60 day review video. I've noticed some really amazing things: physically and in many other ways as well. Some have been completely unexpected things I'd never have even imagined. Keep doing yoga! I'm convinced!!

    Good morning fellow Bridge folks. I was vaccinated yesterday (whoop whoop!), so have a heavy arm. My energy levels felt a little below par so I mostly did the modified version. All good though, and a practice I’ll come back to. Have a great day everyone, thank you Adriene. Namaste 🙏

    Balance Day 9, December 2021 :
    I could feel my shoulders and abs trembling during this short but power-packed practice. All those vinyasa must be helping, since I could, for the first time, do a couple of full pushups! Proud of myself and what the body is capable of.
    If you are doing this practice, it is tough but definitely gets easier with time and practice. Be proud of where you are today. Namaste.

      @@J.Ilene. I too had sore wrists when I started practicing yoga. Staying on all fours for a few minutes was also causing me discomfort. But slowly it got better with regular practice. I would recommend a few wrist stretches and Adriene's wrist care videos now and then, along with massaging your palms regularly. Good luck!

    As a senior yogi, I was not sure if to do this practice, but my arm strength is my weakness so I was curious. It was a bit of a challenge, but you say ‘ Have some fun ‘ Adriene, so I did my mindful senior version to keep safe but to improve my arm strength. The short breaks between were so good and I was rewarded with my favourite shark fin namaste 😃 ! I ended with my knee down side planks and 13 minutes was just fine for a short workout. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

    I'm here for day 3: embody 💘 upper body strength has always been my weakest point since I've started taking notice of how I feel while doing yoga. I can't say I did all of the push ups, nor can I say I did them in full plank very much if at all. But I can say that I showed up, listened to my body (wrists especially), and tapped into my breath. 2 years ago I would have skipped this video entirely. I'm proud to say I tried, and am so grateful that I can try again! Progress, not perfection. 🙏 namaste to Adrienne, Benji, and everyone else here breathing along. We are all connected 💘

    When you think you know how to do pushups and then you bring the breath…
    First time I did this I was so confident I picked full plank from the beginning and fell on my face. The second time I decided I had much to learn and took half plank posture and brought the breath. The third time and I was breathing properly with full planks. All that time under contraction really adds up, so don’t be discouraged.
