Just had to comment and say that Benji was cracking me UP. When you were trying to extend your leg and he was like, "really mom?" and "If you don't have a breathing bolster, highly recommended." Lmao that lasted about 3 seconds. YWA would not be the same without him.
Feeling a bit drawn out today,digestion been playing up. Nurture practice helped stretch out my back,ribs and hips. I am taking a lot more care over to what I put into my body to enhance the self nurturing aspect. Kind words and communication are what I am putting out. Thanks to you and everyone xx
Another great session! Solid stretches for my non stretchy legs but I live in hope that by nurturing myself with yoga I will continue to grow in my practise. Thanks again Adriene and Benji for a relaxing session.
Hi Adriene! Can’t frame my feelings into the words, but... You re incredibly pure and graceful and honest!! I’d like to integrate this in my life, cause last time I feel nervous, not good in my body, so love u
Great practice today. After, I love to just sit awhile and read all the beautiful, loving comments. THIS is how I wish our world could be. Love to all and thank you.
Yes! I like to read the comments too, they are always so inspiring and beautiful. Thanks to y'all beautiful people out there for making this world brighter and more hopeful!
So, I’ve been following this, a couple days behind. Grandma died 2 days ago. Had to pause the practice cause I had to travel 700 miles to get to her. This is a place where funerals take several days, long prayers in latin, lots of food, lots of visitors and people paying their respects. Is exhausting for the family, since everything happens in the same house where grandma lived, died, where the family is staying. So I just came back to the practice, and the burrito practice is just what I needed for my grief. I thank you, from my sore, tired little heart ❣️
Adriene: “Think about the things, if anything, that you would like to be blanketed in” My brain: kittens Adriene: “Support....creativity.....love” My brain: oh yeah those too
I would like to thank you, Adriene, for making this yoga journey achievable for even someone, like me, who for the last 3 days was in hotels, tired and sleep deprived. The videos are short, I never felt like I couldn't fit it in if I didn't try just a little, and they never asked anything of me, I wasn't able to give. Which helped with not giving up. The practice is building me, instead of making me feel like my commitment isn't enough, or I am not trying hard enough. Thank you for teaching me, that 20 minutes is a valuable amount of time, a good enough contribution to give to a new skill or a new practice. I often forget that. Namaste. From my heart to yours. 💕
I forgot to mention your perfect assistant Benji, how we love him ! I confess to peeping when I should have had eyes closed, it was worth it he really made me happy ☺️💕
Just wanted to thank you Adriene. During this practice i felt such an overwhelming sense of love and warmth wash over me, i found myself bawling while laughing on a random Thursday afternoon. Your practices have been there to help me love myself on days when no one else could have.
I am Irish and my two best friends are Dutch! I don't really know how that happened but I love how honest and straightforward they are! (And how excellent their English is haha!)
Anyone doing Home during lockdown? It's been so calming and truly nurturing for me during these difficult times. Thank you, Adriene for everything that you do.
A mother and daughter here in New Zealand, bonding and connecting through this beautiful practice each day. Good for body and soul, thank you Adriene. Arohanui, xxx
Dearest Adriene, You're the kind of mentor who can make anyone feel good inside out! You're simply the magic itself, that envelops with a bright beam...w-when I do yoga with you and Benji, I immediately find myself on a fantastic adventure! You're probably the best thing that has ever happened to me! Thankyou for understanding me and helping me with everything! Thaaanks a bunch, Adriene & Benji ✨🌌✨
Exam week starts today and this was the perfect practice before my exam to find some stillness. I am so incredibly thankful for this. Edit: it really helped, the exam went great. When it got hard I just paused to inhale lots of love in ❤
“A moment of self care.. There’s so many of you out there that I know are caretakers, some of you really intent, beautiful, almost HEROIC caretakers. “ Shoutout to every single doctor, nurse, caretaker, anyone that is helping others get through this tough time. I teared up when Adrienne called caretakers heroic during this practice today, because during this whole pandemic, they really have been our heroes! I hope you can all take a moment to nurture your own bodies and have some quiet time to yourselves, you all deserve it. Thank you so much❤️🙏🏻
I did Day 11 before work today, and then had a crazy day at work. So I came home and did Day 12! THANK YOU Adriene, I hope you know how life changing these are! You are amazing!
After a long pause, here I am. It hasn't been easy for me, but somehow each yoga session corresponds with my needs. out of all the days... I chose today to come back to yoga, and the nurturing was just a perfect fit. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this journey, Adriene. I'm relatively new to yoga and can't believe how it has changed my mind and body strength already. At the end of the last couple of sessions, I have ended my practice in tears of gratitude. Thank you so, so much for everything.
i think it's so important to have a connection w/ other people, and to not always do things alone, especially right now. i've been so grateful to be able to start practicing yoga with you, not alone, even if you can't see me. thank you for your videos, adriene
Hey everybody! The sun has come out today! And day 12 has come out ;) Thank you, Adriene for bringing us here to release from cold, cloudy and grayish days and fill our hearts with warmth and love! Namaste
Adriene, thank you. My best friend and I have been doing HOME and Dedication during quarantine, and it really kept us sane during these times and also strengthened our relationship so much by simply talking everyday (even if it was only over FaceTime). This particular day though is special to us. When we first did this practice we found it so calming that we joked we would always do it prior to exams (the high school graduands in Germany still have to take the full A levels). And that's exactly what we did, today was our last time, she has her history final today, and I decided this comment would be perfect to round things off. I have been writing this in my head for the last five days or so and I just really wanted to thank you, for you and this practices being a social connector, a glimmer of hope during long learning days, for not making us feel shit about our bodies, for being the calm before the exam and for being there for us. Thank you and namaste
I got a little laughter yoga in today as well. The volleyball pose brought back memories & I enjoyed the Zoolander reference. Thank you so much Adriene. I look forward to practicing with you every morning & it has been particularly helpful during this time at "Home."
Even after 4 years of doing at home yoga practice with Adriene, she always seem to say what I need to hear the most. Today was no exception and I thank you.
I so needed this today. I almost opted out of using the blanket. So glad I didn't. I am shocked by the comfort it gave me. After a tough day, my practice helped put my nerves back where they belong. Thank you, dear Adrienne.
Thank you from the bottom of my ❤ for this practice. You enrich my days 🙏 Home was what I needed - to come back to myself. To all of you practicing or just scroling - I wish you an amazing day and take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with me. I makes me feel less alone. Namaste ❤🙏🤗
Feeling very emotional today. I needed to nuture my self..even though it made me cry.. Always showing up to the mat on good days and bad. Thank you adrienne ❤
Love that farmer/author Wendell Berry's poetry is quoted... he's an inspiration ... we are regenerative farmers in Tasmania and I'm a mama and also a novelist...Wendell helps show me that life is poetry in motion! And Yoga, this wonderful community, Adriene and Benji help me feel connected to the world! - Once I balance self, I have more energy to help our land rebalance and to love it back to LIFE and then WRITE about it! My Australian Kelpie dog loves being part of the yoga too! Inspired by Benji.
Kung hei fat choi! Wishing you love, happiness, health and prosperity! 💕 Although we are Italians we love celebrating Chinese New Year! 🌍🙏 Much love to you darling Adriene, Benji and the rest of the world. Stefano, Emiliano & Logan 🌈🙋🏻♂️🙋🏼♂️🐶❤️💕
I felt so warm and cozy inside during this practice. Exactly what I needed today! As always so grateful to you, Adriene, for providing all of this magic for free for all of us!
I was practising on the daily until day 11, I collapsed on the floor and had to be hospitalised for 5 days. That was last Tuesday. Then I took the rest of the week to sleep and recover. I can't explain how much I needed this. I am so grateful for Adriene, Benji and this community. I love you.
I thank you from the botttom of my heart ! Lots of love to you all) I'm feeling so alive ! It's beautiful and glorious. Adriene, you are my hero. You are a divine guide to us all. Bless your heart) Bengi is adorable as always.
After a week where I have been in a really negative headspace with uncharacteristic stress and anxiety and sadness (for who knows what reason) this practice (following a good nights rest!) was just perfect in a big snuggly hoodie. I aim to repeat it tonight after I finish work ❤️ namaste everyone have a lovely day x
Hi Jess, I was feeling the same today and was so relieved when she said to bring a blanket to the class. It was exactly what I needed. I hope you feel better today. Namaste xx
Having completed Breath in January, I'm now following Home in February 2021. And how appropriate is this? It's Valentines Day today! What better day to give yourself a bit of loving :)
Ok, so I cried during this one?!!?! I have been taking care of everyone else for so long I didn't know how to prioritize myself. Thank you so much, I am truly grateful for every practice you bring to the mat
As one of the new year's resolutions this year I decided to lose weight. I always wanted to do it, but I was give up each time. So I sat on the diet, which is quite hard one to endure. And today the clear thought came into my mind "Why I have to torture myself and my organism just to look toned for someone? I can do it in a much loving way than it is now and I better love myself as I am, because it is me after all!" And today was this amazingly beautiful practice which showed me that I am right and I better enjoy this all that I have and not to try to change it just that somebody liked me. Namaste, Adriene. You helped me out again, thank you.
Today’s practice really connected with my personal development in therapy. Nurturing my inner child all the way through. Blanketing her in security and love! This was amazing!
I think a lot of the best things in life are things that make you feel. As I was burrito’d and Adriene asked about what we’d want to blanketed in my first and only thought was love. I didn’t realize until just now that I don’t feel very loved in my life - and that can very much just be my impression and not how the people in my life feel - but knowing that I feel a lack of love I think will be helpful. Moving forward I will look for love, I will spread more love, and I will wipe these tears off of my face. Thank you Adriene, your videos really are life changing.
Adriene. I love how you defy emotional and mental “walls”. It is so needed to get to the heart where the nurturing is needed. Just you being you does the trick. I was cracking up when Beni started licking your leg...He’s just like you...finding what feels good....ok, that sounds a little....anyway, Benji is so cool! Yes, you said it in front of millions of people...and set us free to be authentic too. I sense I am receiving more that a Yoga practice, it is something words can not describe. I think it’s like the geese in your letter today. The sky is opening up. Thank you, dear Adriene. May you be blessed with every good thing, in all dimensions.
DAY 12-Nurture!!!!! This was amazingly the perfect workout and mindfulness session as it was a bit cold in Nebraska today. The blanket helped! The "volleyball picture pose" was great!!!!!
Adriene, I wanted you to know that I feel so much love coming from you during these practices that I use your presence in my daily loving kindness meditation to help me visualise love coming to me that I can then share. Thank you! ❤️🙏❤️
Wow, I usually opt for yoga with more movement, but I haven't felt this good after a session in a while. WHat would you be blanketed in, you ask Adriene? Well my brain might ask me what do you wanna be covered in Lili, compassion, love, acceptance? And I'm like no, I wanna be blanketed in pink flowers. So that was my intention, I imagined it too and it felt really good, even made me smile a bit. Very comforting session, highly reccomend for stressballs.
I love you Adriene. You bring so much joy and compassion and warmth into peoples lives by connecting us with our bodies and souls, and by just being your funny and honest self. Thank you
I've been trying to nurture the habit of "unbreakable discipline" within myself over the past couple of years but i've found that I have a tendency of slipping off from time to time. Adriene has helped me come to this realization that seriousness without softness doesn't always work. I know this practice is gonna help me get closer to my goal of nurturing discipline. Thanks, Adriene for the gentle, yummy practice, and for teaching me how to show gratitude for where i currently am. Namaste.
That's awesome my friend! As Bruce Lee would say, a stiff tree breaks most easily, but a bamboo is more resilient because it has softness and gives way to force. That which is adaptable is unbreakable, and softness is definitely a characteristic. Namaste 🙏
Thank you with all my heart. This practice made me very emotional and loved. I've been feeling so lonely and this reconnected me back to what it means to be human. To love. Being able to ground my body and let the energy flow, then using the blanket and the warmth of my hands to stimulate a nurturing sensation. It started to make me cry and it was beautiful and releasing. Thank you.
Oh Adriene, let me just tell you: I feel incredible love towards you. You are such a wise, loving, humble and shining soul. It is an honor for me to practice Yoga with you. You are the one teacher I stayed with. Also I am still not taking you for granted. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I absolutley loved this one.
But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung! Maybe it can. If you are wiling to guide it. To nurture it. To believe in it. Thank you for this wonderful therapeutic session Adriene. Loved Benji here too. Such a great chance to pause.❤️ That namaste bow warmed my heart🥺🙏
I am doing the 30 days journey right now during the quarantine, in addition to some other yoga practices (I do have a lot of time on my hands right now). So far, every days practice of this series has just been what I needed that day, and today, without fail, as well. Been feeling tired and drained all day and now I feel cozy and warm and 100% better than before. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift with us, Adriene.
Today’s practice was exactly what I needed. Today was the last day of being a caregiver for my grandma, so literally speaking being a strong caretaker. This evening I was feeling very disconnected I held myself while listening to your guide snd let myself cry. It was exactly the emotional release that I needed. Thank you for guiding me and all of us
I guess I really needed to be nurtured today since I was crying by the end of the practice. My mom is in hospice care and we have been going to see her daily. I work in the counseling field and have been strong for everyone during this past year. Now I need some nurturing. I got that today. It seems I get what I need no matter when I get to these videos..💕
Returning to in-person work this week has been exciting, nerve-wracking, and...loud. I didn't realize how "noisy" our lives are, literally and metaphorically. 11 months of my entire world being inside my home has given me the gift of silence. This practice is helping get me ready for one more of day of "noise" and then the precious gift of the weekend and more yoga practice in quiet Home.
Oh wow thank you so much Adriene 🙏🏻🙏🏻 for today’s beautiful and gentle practice. Wish I had one of those breathing bolster 🐾🐾 to rest my head on. Namaste 🙏🏻
Am I the only one that looks forward for the next day? I wake up wanting to do yoga. I'm truly thankful for your work you have no idea of the great impact you've had in my life. Thank you❤️
The happiest day of my life! Finally have I found someone who appreciates the stillness and quietness in this world. Thank You Adriene, for this wonderful wonderful practice. Namaste
I've never given myself an appropriate moment of stillness like I have with Adrienne. It's amazing. I used to wake up, dreading the day and all my responsibilities and just feeling rushed all the time. Since I've started this yoga, it's helped me change how I feel, it really helps set my tone for the rest of my day. Sincerely, thank you Adrienne. I've recommended this yoga to my future mother-in-law. Best recommendation that I can give.
Loved this session! My bengal kitty stayed on my blanket purring away the whole time (note: she would not budge for anyone). Absolute bliss. Thank you Adrienne!
I'm working in a pretty demanding caretaking job, and often I feel overwhelmed and drained, and YWA is one of the things I need to keep stable. For the past few days I've been looking into an open position for another job which will be a little less demanding, and way better for me, but it will mean leaving all the people I take care of now. And I'm really struggling with the feeling of responsibility and failing who I work with now. This session hit straight into those thoughts, and the salute to all caretakers made me think that it's okay to take care of my self this time, so I can keep taking care of others.
I've loved this program since day one and today with all this quarantine, home office, home schooling and all this uncertainty for what's next, was the best session. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world 🙏
I cannot tell you how much I have appreciated this yoga series during this time of intense stress and fear. I started using yoga actually as a switch from running after a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I have found so much benefit, and truly your guidance feels like a warm hug of encouragement and love. Thank you so much!
It’s a beautiful experience and feeling to love and nurture myself through this practice. It’s been an additional resource in my healing journey and I’m so grateful. Benji is also motivating me to get a dog lol.
Happy Day 12 everyone! How are you feeling today? What could you add to your life to feel more nurtured?
felt really lovely to be able to both stretch and nurture!
Just had to comment and say that Benji was cracking me UP. When you were trying to extend your leg and he was like, "really mom?" and "If you don't have a breathing bolster, highly recommended." Lmao that lasted about 3 seconds. YWA would not be the same without him.

Benji was the star of today's practice. I love him!
Agreed! Love that puppy!
Adriene's weirdness in full force today was also a delight!
This was a great day for Benji content.
Great practice today. After, I love to just sit awhile and read all the beautiful, loving comments. THIS is how I wish our world could be. Love to all and thank you.
Jan Reaves same, favorite part :)
I do this as well! Love to see the practice inspiring others
Yes! I like to read the comments too, they are always so inspiring and beautiful. Thanks to y'all beautiful people out there for making this world brighter and more hopeful!
Me too! :)
Yes, same here. Sitting comfortably on the mat and scrolling through all these inspiring and loving comments is part of my practice :)

Putting my warm hands on my heart sent a message that cannot be expressed with words. Thank you.
It was amazing experience, I started to cry. Nothing like this ever happened to me!
@@MayaMaya-yr9qr I did too! That Adriene, she sneaks up on ya
@@MayaMaya-yr9qr That was me on day 8. What an experience. Glad we're in this together!
I had a similar experience! So powerful!
Definitely! I feel as if I could ease some major anxiety with this skill.
Adriene: “Think about the things, if anything, that you would like to be blanketed in”
My brain: kittens
Adriene: “Support....creativity.....love”
My brain: oh yeah those too
Me: hot chocolate
for some reason 'hot dog bun' was the first thing to pop into my mind.....lol idk
I said 'Nutella' out loud
Me: wisteria blossom.
Burrito pose. Giant warm tortilla.
I would like to thank you, Adriene, for making this yoga journey achievable for even someone, like me, who for the last 3 days was in hotels, tired and sleep deprived. The videos are short, I never felt like I couldn't fit it in if I didn't try just a little, and they never asked anything of me, I wasn't able to give. Which helped with not giving up.

When Benji posed for the "volleyball photo" 😭😻
I forgot to mention your perfect assistant Benji, how we love him ! I confess to peeping when I should have had eyes closed, it was worth it he really made me happy ☺️💕
Gill Smith me too!
I was laughing so hard, he was equally 'i want to be close to you' and 'you are so annoying'. I know that one!
haha.. me too! It was so sweet watching Benji.
💝💝💝
Just wanted to thank you Adriene. During this practice i felt such an overwhelming sense of love and warmth wash over me, i found myself bawling while laughing on a random Thursday afternoon. Your practices have been there to help me love myself on days when no one else could have.
"We can share it " - taking the whole blanket from Benji lol
Haha!
Alternate share vinyasa ;-)
lol
🤣💜
Lol he had it the other day it was her turn today.. see sharing 😉
This was such a heartwarming practice 🥰 special thanks to Benji of course for the cuteness overload 💕

Perfect for this post-election in a pandemic day; needed the nurturing, my burrito blanket and the awesome cobbler''s pose to warm my feet.

The way Benji looked at you when you removed the blanket from under him... I felt that.
Even after 4 years of doing at home yoga practice with Adriene, she always seem to say what I need to hear the most. Today was no exception and I thank you.

I was practising on the daily until day 11, I collapsed on the floor and had to be hospitalised for 5 days. That was last Tuesday. Then I took the rest of the week to sleep and recover. I can't explain how much I needed this. I am so grateful for Adriene, Benji and this community. I love you.
I thank you from the botttom of my heart ! Lots of love to you all) I'm feeling so alive ! It's beautiful and glorious. Adriene, you are my hero. You are a divine guide to us all. Bless your heart) Bengi is adorable as always.
My favorite so far. I laughed out loud several times. Love to you and Benji!
Yay good morning everybody 💚💚💚
Just what I needed to calm down my spiralling busy mind. Thank you xx
After a week where I have been in a really negative headspace with uncharacteristic stress and anxiety and sadness (for who knows what reason) this practice (following a good nights rest!) was just perfect in a big snuggly hoodie. I aim to repeat it tonight after I finish work ❤️ namaste everyone have a lovely day x
Hi Jess, I was feeling the same today and was so relieved when she said to bring a blanket to the class. It was exactly what I needed. I hope you feel better today. Namaste xx
Caroline Delaney much better, thank you! Hope you are also doing better! ❤️
Having completed Breath in January, I'm now following Home in February 2021. And how appropriate is this? It's Valentines Day today! What better day to give yourself a bit of loving :)
There's only one Monday a week, kicking it off to a good start with this practice 😊 let's do this! Namaste 💖🙏
Roanna Kowal wasn’t it just the best?
Namaste, Roanna!
Happy monday!
Awesome as always, loving these daily home Yoga sessions. Thank you
I needed some love & nurturing today, thank you for the beautiful practice Adriene! 💚💚💚 PS benji needs an extra blanket 😂 so adorable
That was 22 minutes of heaven today 😊 thank you 🙏
Ok, so I cried during this one?!!?! I have been taking care of everyone else for so long I didn't know how to prioritize myself. Thank you so much, I am truly grateful for every practice you bring to the mat
As one of the new year's resolutions this year I decided to lose weight. I always wanted to do it, but I was give up each time. So I sat on the diet, which is quite hard one to endure. And today the clear thought came into my mind "Why I have to torture myself and my organism just to look toned for someone? I can do it in a much loving way than it is now and I better love myself as I am, because it is me after all!" And today was this amazingly beautiful practice which showed me that I am right and I better enjoy this all that I have and not to try to change it just that somebody liked me.
Namaste, Adriene. You helped me out again, thank you.
Today’s practice really connected with my personal development in therapy. Nurturing my inner child all the way through. Blanketing her in security and love! This was amazing!
I think a lot of the best things in life are things that make you feel. As I was burrito’d and Adriene asked about what we’d want to blanketed in my first and only thought was love. I didn’t realize until just now that I don’t feel very loved in my life - and that can very much just be my impression and not how the people in my life feel - but knowing that I feel a lack of love I think will be helpful. Moving forward I will look for love, I will spread more love, and I will wipe these tears off of my face. Thank you Adriene, your videos really are life changing.
I wished for love too! Sending you lots of love, be sure to catch it !
Thank you for your realness...the mistakes you make honestly allow me to be more gentle with myself. You are a GIFT!
Almost fell asleep in my cozy wozy burrito 😂
Late for work???? I love the cozy burrito!
Me too !
Love Adriene’s playful energy on this practice ❤️
Adriene.
I love how you defy emotional and mental “walls”. It is so needed to get to the heart where the nurturing is needed. Just you being you does the trick. I was cracking up when Beni started licking your leg...He’s just like you...finding what feels good....ok, that sounds a little....anyway, Benji is so cool!
Yes, you said it in front of millions of people...and set us free to be authentic too.
I sense I am receiving more that a Yoga practice, it is something words can not describe. I think it’s like the geese in your letter today. The sky is opening up.
Thank you, dear Adriene. May you be blessed with every good thing, in all dimensions.
DAY 12-Nurture!!!!! This was amazingly the perfect workout and mindfulness session as it was a bit cold in Nebraska today. The blanket helped!
The "volleyball picture pose" was great!!!!!
Adriene, I wanted you to know that I feel so much love coming from you during these practices that I use your presence in my daily loving kindness meditation to help me visualise love coming to me that I can then share. Thank you! ❤️🙏❤️
Wow, I usually opt for yoga with more movement, but I haven't felt this good after a session in a while. WHat would you be blanketed in, you ask Adriene? Well my brain might ask me what do you wanna be covered in Lili, compassion, love, acceptance? And I'm like no, I wanna be blanketed in pink flowers. So that was my intention, I imagined it too and it felt really good, even made me smile a bit. Very comforting session, highly reccomend for stressballs.
Benji is such a calming presence, I was trying to embody him during this practice! 🤗
So, so beautiful - now I feel amazing! Thank you, Adriene!
the perfect start to a week. I'm all set. love to all x
I love you Adriene. You bring so much joy and compassion and warmth into peoples lives by connecting us with our bodies and souls, and by just being your funny and honest self. Thank you
I've been trying to nurture the habit of "unbreakable discipline" within myself over the past couple of years but i've found that I have a tendency of slipping off from time to time. Adriene has helped me come to this realization that seriousness without softness doesn't always work. I know this practice is gonna help me get closer to my goal of nurturing discipline. Thanks, Adriene for the gentle, yummy practice, and for teaching me how to show gratitude for where i currently am. Namaste.
That's awesome my friend! As Bruce Lee would say, a stiff tree breaks most easily, but a bamboo is more resilient because it has softness and gives way to force. That which is adaptable is unbreakable, and softness is definitely a characteristic. Namaste 🙏
Thank you with all my heart. This practice made me very emotional and loved. I've been feeling so lonely and this reconnected me back to what it means to be human. To love. Being able to ground my body and let the energy flow, then using the blanket and the warmth of my hands to stimulate a nurturing sensation. It started to make me cry and it was beautiful and releasing. Thank you.
Oh Adriene, let me just tell you:
I feel incredible love towards you. You are such a wise, loving, humble and shining soul. It is an honor for me to practice Yoga with you. You are the one teacher I stayed with. Also I am still not taking you for granted. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I absolutley loved this one.
But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung! Maybe it can. If you are wiling to guide it. To nurture it. To believe in it. Thank you for this wonderful therapeutic session Adriene. Loved Benji here too. Such a great chance to pause.❤️ That namaste bow warmed my heart🥺🙏
Amazing that I've read this just after watching the new Kung Fu Panda 4 trailer!! Exciting times!
I am doing the 30 days journey right now during the quarantine, in addition to some other yoga practices (I do have a lot of time on my hands right now). So far, every days practice of this series has just been what I needed that day, and today, without fail, as well. Been feeling tired and drained all day and now I feel cozy and warm and 100% better than before. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift with us, Adriene.
What a wonderful, restorative session🙏
Today’s practice was exactly what I needed. Today was the last day of being a caregiver for my grandma, so literally speaking being a strong caretaker. This evening I was feeling very disconnected I held myself while listening to your guide snd let myself cry. It was exactly the emotional release that I needed. Thank you for guiding me and all of us
I guess I really needed to be nurtured today since I was crying by the end of the practice. My mom is in hospice care and we have been going to see her daily. I work in the counseling field and have been strong for everyone during this past year. Now I need some nurturing. I got that today. It seems I get what I need no matter when I get to these videos..💕
What a prophetic series. Your words mean more now than ever. I so enjoy these practices. Thank you for your time and energy.
Returning to in-person work this week has been exciting, nerve-wracking, and...loud. I didn't realize how "noisy" our lives are, literally and metaphorically. 11 months of my entire world being inside my home has given me the gift of silence. This practice is helping get me ready for one more of day of "noise" and then the precious gift of the weekend and more yoga practice in quiet Home.
Oh wow thank you so much Adriene 🙏🏻🙏🏻 for today’s beautiful and gentle practice. Wish I had one of those breathing bolster 🐾🐾 to rest my head on. Namaste 🙏🏻
Am I the only one that looks forward for the next day? I wake up wanting to do yoga. I'm truly thankful for your work you have no idea of the great impact you've had in my life. Thank you❤️
The happiest day of my life! Finally have I found someone who appreciates the stillness and quietness in this world. Thank You Adriene, for this wonderful wonderful practice. Namaste
She called caretakers heroic, and this was filmed before the pandemic. Its like it was made for this time...we are so grateful for this Adriene!
I've never given myself an appropriate moment of stillness like I have with Adrienne. It's amazing. I used to wake up, dreading the day and all my responsibilities and just feeling rushed all the time. Since I've started this yoga, it's helped me change how I feel, it really helps set my tone for the rest of my day. Sincerely, thank you Adrienne. I've recommended this yoga to my future mother-in-law. Best recommendation that I can give.
My sister turned me on to Adriene 7months ago, been here everyday since. Love her so much
All I have to say is thank you, you touch the heart
Loved this session! My bengal kitty stayed on my blanket purring away the whole time (note: she would not budge for anyone). Absolute bliss. Thank you Adrienne!
I'm working in a pretty demanding caretaking job, and often I feel overwhelmed and drained, and YWA is one of the things I need to keep stable. For the past few days I've been looking into an open position for another job which will be a little less demanding, and way better for me, but it will mean leaving all the people I take care of now. And I'm really struggling with the feeling of responsibility and failing who I work with now. This session hit straight into those thoughts, and the salute to all caretakers made me think that it's okay to take care of my self this time, so I can keep taking care of others.
I've loved this program since day one and today with all this quarantine, home office, home schooling and all this uncertainty for what's next, was the best session. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world 🙏
Beyond thankful to have these yoga videos during the quaratine
Hello, I felt so happy when I put my warm hands to my heart, thank you so much Adriene for this practice.
I cannot tell you how much I have appreciated this yoga series during this time of intense stress and fear. I started using yoga actually as a switch from running after a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I have found so much benefit, and truly your guidance feels like a warm hug of encouragement and love. Thank you so much!
I didn't know it when I pressed play but oh this practice was so needed! ❤️
It’s a beautiful experience and feeling to love and nurture myself through this practice. It’s been an additional resource in my healing journey and I’m so grateful. Benji is also motivating me to get a dog lol.
This looks like another practice I'll be doing in bed with my cat. Can't wait!
Sal same lol
Don't you just love yoga with cats???
Your humour is heartwarming. I wish I could bring everybody with me in this yoga journey that I have been enjoying so much.
Ooh, what a lovely way to start the day. I feel terrific; I'm loving being a part of this! Thanks, Adriene!
Another absolutely beautiful, "yummy" practice. Thank you Adriene & team for letting us have a nurturing, supportive, funny, inspiring role model
