Yes, I see people on Facebook yoga groups and here on RUclips just having a showdown, and it's really offputting. This is why I love Adriene and YWA, because she makes everything approachable even if it's not, and doesn't push you to do things you're not ready for or comfortable doing.
let me tell you that is the reason she got a new subscriber. i love her simplicity !!! her energy !!! these pseudo yoga teacher that spend more time showing of their body than teach you spirituality... poor society and bloody social media . everyone pretend to be yoggi or fitness instructor
Thank you Adriene and Benji, for celebrating with me. Today is my birthday and I am so grateful to be able to celebrate with you and all the wonderful Yoga with Adriene community. I’ve been on this train for over 4 years now and my love of yoga as described and lived by Adriene grows stronger. Thank you for giving this treasure to the world! Namaste 🙏🏻
I was supposed to move to Paris by the end of August to do my Masters there. With everything happening right now, there’s just so much uncertainty that I cannot draw a line between my dream and the unfortunate reality we have brought upon ourselves and to the world. I was stressed about the entire year going to waste. But then I now also realise there are many people who will never get to see the end of the year. This practise made me realise I’m grateful for all that I have now and I choose to be patient. If you feel your future plans are falling apart; if it’s meant to be, it will be.
Love this. I was also supposed to go to Paris this summer for a program really pivotal to my career and have been struggling feeling that summer is now a waste. But I also tell myself if it's meant to be it will be. Wishing you health and love in all that you do!
@@oliviafinkart Thank you! ❤️ I believe we will attend our programs when things eventually get better and when the time is right. Wish you all the love and luck in the world ✨
I was supposed to finish two years of volunteer work in Vietnam but only ended up serving for four months because of the pandemic. It took me a moment to realize that I'm where I'm supposed to be right now.
I know this isn't what you mean by transition but I just got my first testosterone shot today (I'm transgender) so this video is amazingly topical for me! :)
TW: Self-harm/suicide/depression ----- Day 19 of November 2020 - Ground: Yesterday I spent the day in bed trying (and often failing) to resist the urge to hurt myself because I didn't want to live anymore. Today I woke up feeling numb and sore and drained, but Adriene's invitation to accept who/where you are today and "not who or where you were yesterday" really hit home. It's a running joke in my family the amount of times medical professionals have suggested I try yoga to cure my depression, and whilst it by no means has, it gets me out of bed most mornings and allows me to forgive myself. When Adriene invited us to complete the sentence "I choose..." I said to myself that I choose life.
hey, just want to say i'm in the same boat. every day is a struggle, but it's nice to have this community and adriene's videos as a safe place to return to. today, i choose to keep trying (even when it seems impossible to continue). thank you for sharing your story. wishing all the best for you, friend!
This is my first practice after my grandpa died last Monday. He was like a father to me, especially after I lost my parents. Tomorrow is the funeral. This gave me the strength I needed to go: "I choose to be courageous". Thank you Adriene xxx
You are so courageous and you deserve all the time and space to grieve as you need. Sending you healing thoughts and energy your way. I’m sorry for your loss ♥️
I choose to honor myself and the people around me by wearing a mask and following social distancing. I choose to believe that we will get through this together with love and respect. namaste
My favorite thing about YWA is how she always gives permission and even encouragement to meet my body where it’s at today. And if i don’t look like her, that’s okay. Because only Adriene looks like Adriene. And only I look like me. And we both have a beautiful practice.
I am usually not much of a commenter, but this practice brought exactly what I needed today. I will be starting my Research Masters in Psychology on Monday and as an autistic person this time of change is extremely difficult for me. I am really excited, but also scared of the new and unknown. The intentions I set were: I choose calmth and I choose self-love. They feel so bad to set in a culture which is so fast, but I truly do not crave a busy life. Thank you for helping me realise this. Now I can start my studies from my center and strive towards a calm but passionate career.
I'm 16 and a junior in High School. Your words are inspiring me to show my love for my friends and family, appreciate them, and also myself. I especially like when you said, "We are more alike than we are different" because the world feels very divided right now and it is a good reminder. Love your videos, they make adolescence and change just a bit easier :)
Since no one commented today, i will do. Move day 19 complete! I practice with you Adriene 3 months without break.(Im proud of myself :D) You gave me strength and love to my life. Thank you Adriene!
SEEK to meet n greet w openness / beginner mind I choose to be true to be mindful to focus on now to SEEK and connect w breath Thanks for many wise reminder thru out the practice Namaste to all practising (such a good revisit!) and May all find ease in transitions / shift of moments
September 2022 'Celebrate' - Day 1. It's the first day of spring here in Australia and I'm using this month's challenge to get back into yoga, after a long cold winter's break. Here's to a beautiful spring and upcoming summer season!
As we head into the 5th (or 6th) wave here in France and we celebrated Christmas with family and residents of the retirement home yesterday at a hot chocolate and brioche 'tea' yesterday I realize how important these daily sessions are for me to help me get through the last 2 years so I am strong enough and calm enough to continue working despite everything. I don't think I would have made it thus far without them. Thank you so much Adrienne - you help so many people in so many situations allowing us to take time for ourselves, live in the present moment and listen to our bodies and our hearts.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I work in healthcare as well-in a group home and outpatient setting, so I know that this has been a stressful time. Best of luck to you in the new year!
I’m grieving for the victims of hate crimes against Asians and women, and the victims of the military coup in Myanmar. It’s been so hard but I hope to see light at the end of the tunnel.
Some people in general do not see the blessings that abound in the United States. Of course a lot of people do. We immigrants that have grown up in different countries or travelled a lot are ever so grateful for being able to live here and have the freedom to travel and learn. Yes hate crimes are intolerable. More love, more yoga, more Adriene.
If anyone is practicing this during quarantine because of the Coronavirus, as I am, pay attention to what Adriene said on child's pose: "Sometimes things get uncomfortable before they transition, before a blossoming, before a change. Can we remember to trust the process? To trust the struggle?". I think this is very appropriate and important for this moment. Thank you for these beautiful words, Adriene!
I choose to be Well (in body & mind) I choose to be true - self and others I choose to be at ease as can be May all be well, healthy (in body & mind) and be at ease Namaste to all practising Thanks Adriene and YWA for adding this into STILL as we/I remember STill as part of transition as well as choices I am making
I choose to continue. I struggle with depression and anxiety and I have wanted to give up during the last couple of months. I accept myself for who I am today and I trust that if I keep going, things will be okay. Thank you for this practice ❤️
April was a rough month for me. My dad passed away and days ago I found out a former love had died last year. That surprisingly really affected me even though two decades had past. I missed a bunch of days in April but am starting off this fresh month strong. We have to use these times to redirect ourselves towards what is important and also care for ourselves. Keep going! 💜
Hi Rachel, please don't give up, you matter so much and so many people would miss you, including me! Please continue and if you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to me 💛💛
Aw c'mon Adriene. I'm 55 TODAY Can't get close to that arm balance with feet off the ground, haha. Thank you for all your practices. They have helped me immensely. And today, for the first time ever, I was able to finish your sentence with ME. I choose..ME. (not in a selfish way though.) Namaste
Who is here for the Meditate - YWA May 2020? 🙋🏼♀️ THANK YOU ADRIENNE for all you do. You are a lifesaver and I hope I will have the honor to meet you one day! 🧘♀️💜
I'm practicing this in what will probably be recorded as the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, when everything is changing. I choose to be optimistic. I choose to believe that eventually, this time of terror and uncertainty will end and we will all be able to walk together in the sun again. Thanks for this practice, Adriene.
Dear Kind Person, I am an optimistic person too; yet, look at where we are three months later -- back to square one. So sad.... Hope you are well. Love, Sandra
"I choose to:...Flow!" This mornkng I was looking for my meditation of the qeek, but instead accidentally pushes the button for one that was for Flowing, I honored the "accident" and made it, and I honor it here, too! I loved finding this video as it in fact is almost the end of the year and also, I am in fact during a transition moment. A time to make decisions, and I love coincidences. I love this video, the one on flowing, and a couple more. One speaking how acknowledging our differences is not bad as long as it is done respectfully (or celebrating, as you said), and another one about changing career pathways from a comedian! ♥️🌷🙌
I choose to be true I choose to be as Mindful and true to self N others I choose to stay grateful to body and mind I choose to take care of self (so I can serve others) May all be well and have ease of being for now, for 2022 for all transitions Namaste to all practising - Season Greetings, happy holidays and GREAT 2022 (Looking forward to MOVE!!!) yay!
Today, my old boy Flash the cat is transitioning from this life we have shared to the afterlife. I am going to miss him so dang much. He has been my yoga buddy since he joined our family in 2015, and until recently, never missed a session. At this moment, it seems that without him, joy may never be found again. Thank goodness little Red Sonja is here to comfort and remind me that joy can be found if you just look around. Thank you, Adriene, for your lovely practices. Flash and I have enjoyed them so much. I am sure that Lil Red will pick up the slack in her big brothers absence.
After rather suddenly loosing my father yesterday, this practice has given me calm, help with acceptance, and hope. Yoga has not only helped with my physical health over the last 3 to 4 years I've been following Adriene, but my mental health too. Thanks and namaste. 🙏
When we did this practice in December 2019, we didn't know what year 2020 would bring us. It was a blessing for us to be a part of YWA in 2020. Thank you so much Adriene ❤️🙏
Move Day 19: I choose calm, that is to remember to remain calm when in challenging situations. Typically I start my day calmly with Yoga With Adrienne, but it's difficult to remain calm all day. I'm glad to be back on the mat the next morning for a fresh start each day. I enjoyed the challenge of side crow today!
Exactly the same sentiment and routine for me. As my day gets stressful I almost look forward to bedtime so I can wake up and do yoga. A few times I've pushed myself to get on the mat in the evening to release the day as well. Without thinking today, my mind went to "I choose to center what's important." Hope you have a great day1
i'm leaving to move in to college in a couple hours, so this was very timely! i choose to stay in the moment and embrace all the excitement and uncertainty that comes with starting this new chapter in my life. thank you so much adriene, you helped me get through the pandemic and i'm sure you'll help me through this transition as well!
I choose to not judge myself for being a failure after Adriene swiftly transitionned into that side crow which left me confused as to how she got there going "Whaattt?!"
Little did we know in December 2019 what 2020 and 2021 would bring... I started YWA in March 2020 and have kept up with practising almost every day. I am so grateful for your channel and this community. Let's continue to MOVE...
My body says thank-you for all the hip opener poses AND the core practice with those fabulous bird-dog movements in the video intro. That thing that looked like a sideways crow pose; well, let's just say it's not in my vocabulary yet, so I instead stayed in a squat and worked with that. I'm learning to recognize my edges AND to respect where I am - all because of you Adriene! A wonderful yoga instructor! Namaste! 🙏 From Dad & his Son 😊
There is so much running through my mind right now and I've got no idea how to express it, but to say THANK YOU! For giving me this calm, loving space within me, to which I can return to everyday. Lots of love!
At the beginning of the quarantine, over a Zoom call, a friend recommended YWA. My teenaged daughter & I have enjoyed yoga (with your video guidance) together 3-5 days/week. ever since. We particularly like that each session has grace, & none are too challenging (for us), so we approach them with enthusiasm, & prioritize that time we spend together. Gracias Adriene!
Yesterday I really felt like quitting yoga, I didn't feel how I felt when I first did it, and no matter where my mind takes me, whether it's to not believe the good in the world or get confused about every decision I make, I know you are right Adriene. I need to find my breath and accept my situation. I just need to find what feels good. Cheers to being human and not feeling amazing everyday. 💜
Moved to tears toward the end when Adriene started talking about recording the practice at the beginning of a new year... Oh, grasshopper, you knew not what we were all heading into in that new year. For some reason, thinking about the poignency of that moment in time and what we have all endured for the past year plus made me weep. Also: I was sort of able to do side crow -- my first time ever. Thanks, Adriene!
I have read so many posts about people who have broken out into tears during a practice. Although, I could understand why, I never actually experienced it for myself until this one. This practice felt like a best friend giving me a big hug and letting me just sob it out. The peace I now feel is incredible. Thank you so much,.
Sometimes the smallest things can overwhelm us more than the big things in life.... My concept as to why..... Sometimes we don't put up our barriers for these so our true selves become exposed.... Cry but be happy....cause you did get to show your true inner self...
Carolyn Arbuckle I feel the exact same way! I always read about others crying but never experienced it until Adriene said this experience with has taught her “that we are more alike than we are different” and for some reason that reverberated through my core and I was close to tears.
Given that this will be the last practice of the year before we get "Home," I figured I'd put up a toast for everyone in the community to join in on, to honor who we are at this moment and acknowledge that 2020 will be a unique year for all of us, one that we make a promise to make our best one yet, both physically and emotionally. Thank you Adriene for having our back as yet another amazing chapter of our lives comes to a close. I for sure know that I'll be enjoying reviewing my 2019 as I do this practice, possibly even shedding a tear at the end. Happy holidays everyone. Remember to love yourself. Much love. Namaste.
I choose to be me! After so long and finally get myself back to the practice with you Adriene... Every single word is really touched and feel so great to be with you again! Thank you so so much Adriene 🫂 love you
Loved this practice! Transitioning to 41 yo, to motherhood, to my best version. Thank you Adriene for your kindness with this every day practice. It means the world to me. ❤
“How you move matters” was ever so apt for me today as I kept falling out of the poses and making myself laugh in the process! Happy New Year, everyone. Namaste 🙏 🧘♀️💕
I choose to be kind and calm. Thank you for modeling these qualities Adrienne! Your empathy really shines through your practice and honestly that is what keeps me coming back to your channel. Stay well, Namaste!
I am just scrolling through the calendar archive and I was wondering what practice was on the calendar on December 17th 2021 and it was this one....That day our son was born and I transitioned into the role of a mother. I mean...wow! What a connection!
@William B. I knew you were coming onto a full year of daily yoga practice and wanted to congratulate you, but you didn't comment that day- so here is to you committing for over a year now. Have a wonderful day!
I am feeling better now that I am seeing your comment! I have been reading yours every day. It has been encouraging to me. It's nice to see you again! You have been missed! ❤️
Doing this practice as part of MOVE March 2021, I found myself nodding when you said "we're more alike than we are different." Sending love throughout this practice to the Asian-American community - you belong and are loved
Second time in one week I do a practice for new begginings or transitions. They nicely pop up when necessary at my mom's phone and I follow! Then, when time allows, I come back to my phone and write. Today, I felt my body flow with the practice!
I choose to trust. Leaving in two hours for a trip to a place I've never seen, with people I've never met. This was perfect for calming my nerves, the excitement in the unknown is now growing bigger than the fear. Thank you so much for this year Adriene, you've been a source of calm in the constant flow of life, the angel on my shoulder whispering that someone always has my back. The same goes for this whole community. I love you. Looking forward to come HOME next month, See you!
I did this practice while being a little sick, I caught a cold and I really go trough this one gently and I did it ! It was a little hard but I love it and I feel a little better now ! Thank you Adriene ! Namaste.
Im having a hard time in my country now and waking up every day and have the opportunity to take the moment in with u especially today as I cried my eyes out the night before its truly what I live for so thank u thank u to your beautiful voice and guidance its been truly a pleasure.
What a way to start the day. I definitely met my appropriate edge haha had to tell myself multiple times, I can do hard things. 😅 but all in all, perfect practice for the message. Things can get uncomfortable before they transition. We have to learn how to sit with that
I enjoyed a lot this practice today. I choose to trust. In a world evolving so quickly and seeming going in the wrong direction I trust that transitions are some times very hard, but they are the basis of everything. Important it’s to find the balance within.
I always think this practice is an adventure. It’s something different, slow and kind with super stretchy poses, my favourite shark fin child’s pose, love caves , some lovely forearm lizards, no sideways crows for this senior yogi 😂 but otherwise all good. Awesome Adriene ! I followed this with the 10 minute medication for our first day of May and now I am slowed down to zero feeling so calm and quiet. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💞🙏
Thank you Adriene.. I met you and your videos at the very hard time in my life. I was going through some loss pain of mine and I started to watch you withouth knowing anything about yoga or meditation. The first time the door of acceptance, observation and grace opened with you. After that every internal approaches to things changed in my life. Especially to myself. Now i realized it was 1 year ago, July is special for me. When you say take care of each other I realized you were the first and the best one took care of me and to my soul at that times and after that I started to take care of myself with "love". It is journey and it started here.. Thank you and thank universe, I am grateful for your existance.
I did this video as I am in the Jewish month of Elul. It is a time of transition into the Jewish New Year. I choose to be grateful for the opportunity to work through another series of transitions. Thank you Adriene for giving me this practice that fits in with where I am at this month.

In this time of transition, how do you finish the sentence - I choose...?
I choose peace and harmony.
I choose to love myself so I can love the other amazing people in my life. Namaste !
Yoga With Adriene I choose to find my passport today it’s hiding somewhere and I choose to find it
Yoga With Adriene I also choose to have a good day today 🙏
To let go!
I like how she is not showing off her yoga’s ability and accepting other people’s abilities. Real guru.
I agree! I think that's one the main reasons so many people love (practicing with) her!
Yes, I see people on Facebook yoga groups and here on RUclips just having a showdown, and it's really offputting. This is why I love Adriene and YWA, because she makes everything approachable even if it's not, and doesn't push you to do things you're not ready for or comfortable doing.
True, very nice sessions.
let me tell you that is the reason she got a new subscriber.
i love her simplicity !!!
her energy !!!
these pseudo yoga teacher that spend more time showing of their body than teach you spirituality...
poor society and bloody social media .
everyone pretend to be yoggi or fitness instructor

I was supposed to move to Paris by the end of August to do my Masters there. With everything happening right now, there’s just so much uncertainty that I cannot draw a line between my dream and the unfortunate reality we have brought upon ourselves and to the world. I was stressed about the entire year going to waste. But then I now also realise there are many people who will never get to see the end of the year.
This practise made me realise I’m grateful for all that I have now and I choose to be patient.
If you feel your future plans are falling apart; if it’s meant to be, it will be.
Amrita Jeremiah wow! This is a huge realization! I know that you are going to make it to Paris!
Love this. I was also supposed to go to Paris this summer for a program really pivotal to my career and have been struggling feeling that summer is now a waste. But I also tell myself if it's meant to be it will be. Wishing you health and love in all that you do!
@@sarahmclin2434 That's so kind of you! Thank you 🙏 ❤️

I was supposed to finish two years of volunteer work in Vietnam but only ended up serving for four months because of the pandemic. It took me a moment to realize that I'm where I'm supposed to be right now.
Sweet Adriene, you make me feel like everything will be alright
Jen Niebla-Love yes!
I second that! Namaste 💟

TW: Self-harm/suicide/depression
-----
Day 19 of November 2020 - Ground: Yesterday I spent the day in bed trying (and often failing) to resist the urge to hurt myself because I didn't want to live anymore. Today I woke up feeling numb and sore and drained, but Adriene's invitation to accept who/where you are today and "not who or where you were yesterday" really hit home. It's a running joke in my family the amount of times medical professionals have suggested I try yoga to cure my depression, and whilst it by no means has, it gets me out of bed most mornings and allows me to forgive myself. When Adriene invited us to complete the sentence "I choose..." I said to myself that I choose life.
Keep choosing life. You are worth it.
Just think of all the people out there throughout the world wishing you well. You are SO worth it. Stay positive . 💖
I wish the best for you... may you continue to heal and chose life. You are so so strong 💙
Glad you chose to accept who you are today. Wishing you many happy tomorrows full of life and of course yoga with Adriene!❤
hey, just want to say i'm in the same boat. every day is a struggle, but it's nice to have this community and adriene's videos as a safe place to return to. today, i choose to keep trying (even when it seems impossible to continue). thank you for sharing your story. wishing all the best for you, friend!
This is my first practice after my grandpa died last Monday. He was like a father to me, especially after I lost my parents. Tomorrow is the funeral. This gave me the strength I needed to go: "I choose to be courageous". Thank you Adriene xxx
My heart is with you. Be gentle with yourself, even as you are courageous. All love.

I kind of just stared at Adriene in awe when she did those side crow poses.

September 2022 'Celebrate' - Day 1. It's the first day of spring here in Australia and I'm using this month's challenge to get back into yoga, after a long cold winter's break. Here's to a beautiful spring and upcoming summer season!
Namaste🧘♀ God bless🙏
As we head into the 5th (or 6th) wave here in France and we celebrated Christmas with family and residents of the retirement home yesterday at a hot chocolate and brioche 'tea' yesterday I realize how important these daily sessions are for me to help me get through the last 2 years so I am strong enough and calm enough to continue working despite everything. I don't think I would have made it thus far without them. Thank you so much Adrienne - you help so many people in so many situations allowing us to take time for ourselves, live in the present moment and listen to our bodies and our hearts.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I work in healthcare as well-in a group home and outpatient setting, so I know that this has been a stressful time. Best of luck to you in the new year!
Totally with you Lynn on how Adriene has helped get so many through this time.
I feel exactly the same way
I’m grieving for the victims of hate crimes against Asians and women, and the victims of the military coup in Myanmar. It’s been so hard but I hope to see light at the end of the tunnel.
Some people in general do not see the blessings that abound in the United States. Of course a lot of people do. We immigrants that have grown up in different countries or travelled a lot are ever so grateful for being able to live here and have the freedom to travel and learn. Yes hate crimes are intolerable. More love, more yoga, more Adriene.
Agreed! We’ve had a increase in the USA. So terrible 😢
You are a blessing soul, bless u my friend. And may the healing and peace come back to us all soon.

May all be well, healthy (in body & mind) and be at ease
Namaste to all practising
Thanks Adriene and YWA for adding this into STILL as we/I remember STill as part of transition as well as choices I am making
I choose to continue.
I struggle with depression and anxiety and I have wanted to give up during the last couple of months. I accept myself for who I am today and I trust that if I keep going, things will be okay.
Thank you for this practice ❤️
April was a rough month for me. My dad passed away and days ago I found out a former love had died last year. That surprisingly really affected me even though two decades had past. I missed a bunch of days in April but am starting off this fresh month strong. We have to use these times to redirect ourselves towards what is important and also care for ourselves. Keep going! 💜
Hang in there! ❤️
Props to you to still finding the strength to practice yoga (you too William B), I wish you both the best ❤️
@@7ScarletRoses Thank you for your kind comment Anja. 💜
Hi Rachel, please don't give up, you matter so much and so many people would miss you, including me! Please continue and if you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to me 💛💛
Excellent way to start a Friday. Feeling marvelous after this.
Balance day 17. 439 days in a row.
I choose to try the side crow and I did it!!!! I can't believe it 😁 so proud of me!!!
That’s awesome! Congrats 🎉👏🙏
Aw c'mon Adriene. I'm 55 TODAY Can't get close to that arm balance with feet off the ground, haha. Thank you for all your practices. They have helped me immensely. And today, for the first time ever, I was able to finish your sentence with ME. I choose..ME. (not in a selfish way though.)
Namaste
Who is here for the Meditate - YWA May 2020? 🙋🏼♀️
THANK YOU ADRIENNE for all you do. You are a lifesaver and I hope I will have the honor to meet you one day! 🧘♀️💜
I'm practicing this in what will probably be recorded as the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, when everything is changing. I choose to be optimistic. I choose to believe that eventually, this time of terror and uncertainty will end and we will all be able to walk together in the sun again. Thanks for this practice, Adriene.
Dear Kind Person, I am an optimistic person too; yet, look at where we are three months later -- back to square one. So sad.... Hope you are well. Love, Sandra
"I choose to:...Flow!" This mornkng I was looking for my meditation of the qeek, but instead accidentally pushes the button for one that was for Flowing, I honored the "accident" and made it, and I honor it here, too!
I loved finding this video as it in fact is almost the end of the year and also, I am in fact during a transition moment. A time to make decisions, and I love coincidences. I love this video, the one on flowing, and a couple more. One speaking how acknowledging our differences is not bad as long as it is done respectfully (or celebrating, as you said), and another one about changing career pathways from a comedian! ♥️🌷🙌
I choose to be true
I choose to be as Mindful and true to self N others
I choose to stay grateful to body and mind
I choose to take care of self (so I can serve others)
May all be well and have ease of being for now, for 2022 for all transitions
Namaste to all practising - Season Greetings, happy holidays and GREAT 2022 (Looking forward to MOVE!!!) yay!
A very challenging 24 hours for me, so this was a comfort. Well said. On to whatever is next.
Today, my old boy Flash the cat is transitioning from this life we have shared to the afterlife.
I am going to miss him so dang much. He has been my yoga buddy since he joined our family in 2015, and until recently, never missed a session.
At this moment, it seems that without him, joy may never be found again. Thank goodness little Red Sonja is here to comfort and remind me that joy can be found if you just look around.
Thank you, Adriene, for your lovely practices. Flash and I have enjoyed them so much. I am sure that Lil Red will pick up the slack in her big brothers absence.
My condolences on the loss of your Flash. May you continue to find comfort in your Yoga practice as you see him there beside you in Spirit. ❤
“sometimes things get uncomfortable before they transition “ so true🥰
I choose to be HAPPY :) I choose to be STRONG. I choose to be PRESENT ❤️
MOVE day 19 complete!!
Another transition in my life. This was so helpful. I choose balance. I choose to define my own success.
23 Feb 2024 - I choose to continue happily to the next phase of life, whatever that may be. Thank you, Adriene, for being there to accompany me. 💕
I choose to be the best version of myself for myself. 🙏
I choose gratitude. Grateful for yoga with Adriene and the encouraging practice videos she shares with her followers.
Day 1: I choose to open my heart and let go.
As always, I am truly grateful for you Adriene! Namaste 🙏🏻
After rather suddenly loosing my father yesterday, this practice has given me calm, help with acceptance, and hope. Yoga has not only helped with my physical health over the last 3 to 4 years I've been following Adriene, but my mental health too. Thanks and namaste. 🙏
You're very brave, I'm sending you a lot of strenght and love from France. Stay strong 💪
Sorry for your loss, Jason. I hope your memories of your father bring you some joy amidst the sadness.
When we did this practice in December 2019, we didn't know what year 2020 would bring us. It was a blessing for us to be a part of YWA in 2020. Thank you so much Adriene ❤️🙏
Happy trails🎉 never heard her say that before at the end❤ strengthening practice, streach them wrists before this ditty. SEEK SEPT 2023
Move Day 19: I choose calm, that is to remember to remain calm when in challenging situations. Typically I start my day calmly with Yoga With Adrienne, but it's difficult to remain calm all day. I'm glad to be back on the mat the next morning for a fresh start each day. I enjoyed the challenge of side crow today!
Exactly the same sentiment and routine for me. As my day gets stressful I almost look forward to bedtime so I can wake up and do yoga. A few times I've pushed myself to get on the mat in the evening to release the day as well. Without thinking today, my mind went to "I choose to center what's important." Hope you have a great day1
i choose to be happy
thank you so much for the lovely start of this month
i love you
Like an angel dropped down from heaven. I know today I am blessed!
i'm leaving to move in to college in a couple hours, so this was very timely! i choose to stay in the moment and embrace all the excitement and uncertainty that comes with starting this new chapter in my life. thank you so much adriene, you helped me get through the pandemic and i'm sure you'll help me through this transition as well!
Good luck! Enjoy these years, they will be a distant memory before you know it 💞
Good luck girl 🙋🏼♀️
Enjoy every minute of it 🎈
I choose to not judge myself for being a failure after Adriene swiftly transitionned into that side crow which left me confused as to how she got there going "Whaattt?!"
Same! I was like, yeah this isn’t happening at all. It definitely seems challenging though, so trying to not get discouraged!
Little did we know in December 2019 what 2020 and 2021 would bring... I started YWA in March 2020 and have kept up with practising almost every day. I am so grateful for your channel and this community. Let's continue to MOVE...
so I think we were practicing together Namaste sending lots of love ❤
Me too
Let’s transition to 2023. This is the perfect practice for now, as always . Happy new year YWA 🎉 xx
Seek day 26! I choose to be brave!
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💚💚
Big smiles for my first ever side crow!
This is an attitude adjuster, which I'll admit, was very needed. Stay strong and stay positive fellow yogis. Namaste 🙏
sometimes things get uncomfortable before they transition and blossom. Thank you for that reminder, Adriene
That is one chilled dog! Benji is a role model to us all. Thank you Adriene
This video actually selected me. We have all been transitioning these last two years. Hope and health to all!
My body says thank-you for all the hip opener poses AND the core practice with those fabulous bird-dog movements in the video intro. That thing that looked like a sideways crow pose; well, let's just say it's not in my vocabulary yet, so I instead stayed in a squat and worked with that. I'm learning to recognize my edges AND to respect where I am - all because of you Adriene!
A wonderful yoga instructor!
Namaste! 🙏
From Dad & his Son 😊
There is so much running through my mind right now and I've got no idea how to express it, but to say THANK YOU! For giving me this calm, loving space within me, to which I can return to everyday. Lots of love!
After 9 months of yoga just about every night, I finally noticed I am a bit more flexible at 49 years old. Consistency pays off ❤
At the beginning of the quarantine, over a Zoom call, a friend recommended YWA. My teenaged daughter & I have enjoyed yoga (with your video guidance) together 3-5 days/week. ever since. We particularly like that each session has grace, & none are too challenging (for us), so we approach them with enthusiasm, & prioritize that time we spend together. Gracias Adriene!
Yesterday I really felt like quitting yoga, I didn't feel how I felt when I first did it, and no matter where my mind takes me, whether it's to not believe the good in the world or get confused about every decision I make, I know you are right Adriene. I need to find my breath and accept my situation. I just need to find what feels good. Cheers to being human and not feeling amazing everyday. 💜
One thing I'm greatful for that Ive done during my lifetime so far is this, my yoga practice with YWA. Love to you. Thank you! Namaste
Greetings Kara! Are you on the Spark journey? It seems as if I'm on the wrong practice. I thought this was day 22? Nice to meet you. 😊
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 everything is as it should be ♥️
@@karamiller7311 Absolutely! 🦋❤🦋💯 👌🏿
i am happy that these last few practices in March 2021 calendar allow us to explore new things
Reminding myself to always choose love over fear ❤
ayyy do you follow yes theory?
Moved to tears toward the end when Adriene started talking about recording the practice at the beginning of a new year... Oh, grasshopper, you knew not what we were all heading into in that new year. For some reason, thinking about the poignency of that moment in time and what we have all endured for the past year plus made me weep. Also: I was sort of able to do side crow -- my first time ever. Thanks, Adriene!
Day 100 with Adriene - feeling stronger, feeling calmer and feeling grateful for this practice during this uncertain time. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you Adriene, namaste x
I have read so many posts about people who have broken out into tears during a practice. Although, I could understand why, I never actually experienced it for myself until this one. This practice felt like a best friend giving me a big hug and letting me just sob it out. The peace I now feel is incredible. Thank you so much,.
Sometimes the smallest things can overwhelm us more than the big things in life.... My concept as to why..... Sometimes we don't put up our barriers for these so our true selves become exposed.... Cry but be happy....cause you did get to show your true inner self...
Carolyn Arbuckle I feel the exact same way! I always read about others crying but never experienced it until Adriene said this experience with has taught her “that we are more alike than we are different” and for some reason that reverberated through my core and I was close to tears.
Given that this will be the last practice of the year before we get "Home," I figured I'd put up a toast for everyone in the community to join in on, to honor who we are at this moment and acknowledge that 2020 will be a unique year for all of us, one that we make a promise to make our best one yet, both physically and emotionally. Thank you Adriene for having our back as yet another amazing chapter of our lives comes to a close. I for sure know that I'll be enjoying reviewing my 2019 as I do this practice, possibly even shedding a tear at the end. Happy holidays everyone. Remember to love yourself. Much love. Namaste.
I choose to be me! After so long and finally get myself back to the practice with you Adriene... Every single word is really touched and feel so great to be with you again! Thank you so so much Adriene 🫂 love you
Great practice--balanced with some heat and some slower moments. The flying poses are tough, especially the side-crow, or whatever it is called!
Loved this practice! Transitioning to 41 yo, to motherhood, to my best version.
Thank you Adriene for your kindness with this every day practice. It means the world to me. ❤
“How you move matters” was ever so apt for me today as I kept falling out of the poses and making myself laugh in the process! Happy New Year, everyone. Namaste 🙏 🧘♀️💕
Happy New Year, Princess! xx
I choose to be kind and calm. Thank you for modeling these qualities Adrienne! Your empathy really shines through your practice and honestly that is what keeps me coming back to your channel. Stay well, Namaste!
I am just scrolling through the calendar archive and I was wondering what practice was on the calendar on December 17th 2021 and it was this one....That day our son was born and I transitioned into the role of a mother. I mean...wow! What a connection!
I loved this practice today, I will try to work on the side crow, not there yet :) Thank you Adriene and Benji for the sunshine every day ❤❤
Nice, swift practice today. Feeling pretty good at the moment. Hope everyone else is! 💜🙏
Still day 8. 369 days in a row.
@William B. I knew you were coming onto a full year of daily yoga practice and wanted to congratulate you, but you didn't comment that day- so here is to you committing for over a year now. Have a wonderful day!
Yeaaay now i can see your comment again!! Same, I'd like to congratulate you for the 1 year anniversary. Thanks for always inspiring us here! 🙏🥳
Now I can see you! Happy yoga birthday and congrats on the milestone -- félicitations ! 🥂
I am feeling better now that I am seeing your comment! I have been reading yours every day. It has been encouraging to me. It's nice to see you again! You have been missed! ❤️
Huge congrats on getting to this point.🎉👏🏻🙏🏻
Doing this practice as part of MOVE March 2021, I found myself nodding when you said "we're more alike than we are different." Sending love throughout this practice to the Asian-American community - you belong and are loved
I felt the same, it felt so topical right now.
I practice yoga everyday with you Adriene, Thank you so much, this is a sweet session. Hugs!
I choose to live my life to the fullest today😌
Second time in one week I do a practice for new begginings or transitions. They nicely pop up when necessary at my mom's phone and I follow! Then, when time allows, I come back to my phone and write. Today, I felt my body flow with the practice!
I choose to trust.
Leaving in two hours for a trip to a place I've never seen, with people I've never met. This was perfect for calming my nerves, the excitement in the unknown is now growing bigger than the fear.
Thank you so much for this year Adriene, you've been a source of calm in the constant flow of life, the angel on my shoulder whispering that someone always has my back. The same goes for this whole community. I love you.
Looking forward to come HOME next month,
See you!
Have a great trip!!!!
Jen Niebla-Love thank you!!
Ella Warnberg 😊♥️
Have a wonderful adventure, Ella! Love you!
❤️❤️❤️
I did this practice while being a little sick, I caught a cold and I really go trough this one gently and I did it ! It was a little hard but I love it and I feel a little better now ! Thank you Adriene ! Namaste.
I choose to be happy, healthy me :) Balance: Day 17 - did three yoga session this week, slowly accomplishing my goal to be more consistent
Just moved to Alaska from Colorado. First yoga practice since the big transition. Helped me get re-centered. Thanks you :)
Im having a hard time in my country now and waking up every day and have the opportunity to take the moment in with u especially today as I cried my eyes out the night before its truly what I live for so thank u thank u to your beautiful voice and guidance its been truly a pleasure.
What a way to start the day. I definitely met my appropriate edge haha had to tell myself multiple times, I can do hard things. 😅 but all in all, perfect practice for the message. Things can get uncomfortable before they transition. We have to learn how to sit with that
This practice felt so good !
EDIT : I'm back in September 2022, and this practice made me feel so strong !
How is it that no matter how I'm vibing on the days that you release a video you channel that and the video connects. Magic. 🙏
We are transitioning into a re-opening phase at my job and I am very thankful for this quick, meaningful, peaceful practice tonight. Thank you!
I enjoyed a lot this practice today. I choose to trust. In a world evolving so quickly and seeming going in the wrong direction I trust that transitions are some times very hard, but they are the basis of everything. Important it’s to find the balance within.
I always think this practice is an adventure. It’s something different, slow and kind with super stretchy poses, my favourite shark fin child’s pose, love caves , some lovely forearm lizards, no sideways crows for this senior yogi 😂 but otherwise all good. Awesome Adriene ! I followed this with the 10 minute medication for our first day of May and now I am slowed down to zero feeling so calm and quiet. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💞🙏
Cool 🙎🏼♀️🌼
Just hopped on my mat and even though I am fighting a virus right now I'm gonna do this🥰 your videos help my chronic illness so much!
Lots of love and it will get better!
@@VladGhica you are so kind! Thank you! ❤
This week of Move has been amazingly timed with my life. Love all the hip opening. Thank you for being in tune with humanity.
Thank you Adriene.. I met you and your videos at the very hard time in my life. I was going through some loss pain of mine and I started to watch you withouth knowing anything about yoga or meditation. The first time the door of acceptance, observation and grace opened with you. After that every internal approaches to things changed in my life. Especially to myself. Now i realized it was 1 year ago, July is special for me. When you say take care of each other I realized you were the first and the best one took care of me and to my soul at that times and after that I started to take care of myself with "love". It is journey and it started here.. Thank you and thank universe, I am grateful for your existance.
I did this video as I am in the Jewish month of Elul. It is a time of transition into the Jewish New Year. I choose to be grateful for the opportunity to work through another series of transitions. Thank you Adriene for giving me this practice that fits in with where I am at this month.
🙏💜
