Give yourself permission to slow down. Practice patience and pay attention to what the body and the heart or guts are telling you. When we go too fast we can miss important signals. Love your body and be kind with your thoughts.There are a lot of nuggets out on the mat. Stay present and enjoy! Use a blanket today to lift the hips! Also, there might be some massage at the end of this practice. YAY. TRUE is like a box of chocolates, you never know are going to get. See You Tomorrow at the HALFWAY mark!
I just wanted to thank you for providing this practice for free on RUclips. I'm a mother of 3 and don't have the option to visit a yoga studio. I do yoga with your videos daily and feel supported and nurtured in my journey. I'm very grateful.
Truth is not something you invent, but something you realize. Every generation must look at what is really needed, and be willing to throw out what no longer works.
I don't know how you're doing it, but you're making me more, well, me. I can't thank you enough. You're a revolutionary. This series has been like a wonder drug, helping me finally work through some inner demons that 3 years of counseling hasn't worked out. You're guiding me through me, which is fascinating... you wizard. Thank you. Namaste.
My dog loves the sound of your voice. As soon as I start the video, he assumes the Benji position and mirrors him exactly. I too had a breathing bolster at the end of my mat today. So peaceful.
By the third day, my dog heard puppy pose and ran over and started doing it over my arms. 😂 now everyday when I bring out my mat she thinks it’s belly rub time! ❤️
Thank you! I teach 3rd grade and we do yoga with you every day! The students enjoy all of your videos, especially the ones with your dog! Can’t wait to do this one on Tuesday 😍
When I printed out my calendar for this journey, I thought I would paint a little heart on those days I'd like to return to after the 30 days were over. Now I painted a heart on every single day so far! Love you Adriene! It is a pleasure to spend time with you every day. As I said on a previous video: 365 day of yoga - here I come!
Lying down with one hand on my heart and the other on my gut brought me to tears today. And here I was thinking the practice to listen would be hard because ever since my recent breakup listening usually brings me memories that are still hard to think of and yet everything went smoothly and by the end my tears were tears of gratitude. Gratitude for this yoga journey, for Adriene and for the self love I've been creating ever since I realized I was on my own again and had to be my own warrior. Hope you also have a mindful practice today. Sending you all love on this journey. Happy day 14!
Hey there, Marta! This is just what I am going through, as well. And if I think about why I scrolled through the comments today, I think it's because I was looking for a comment like yours. And it was closer than I thought. The part with "my own warrior" brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, and may you find peace! Namaste!
Melontree59 You have no idea how much this comment meant to me as well. I think feeling understood is such a powerful thing and I am glad this brought you some peace, despite the tears. Every day feels a bit like a battle but I am confident that with each day things are getting a bit easier and we're slowly recovering and growing. It's not easy but I think we're strong! :) Sending you love!
I am also going through a break up, and learning self-care through daily yoga practise! It’s nice to hear from others in a similar position. We can definitely get through this ❤️
Today was difficult. Including tears. *Thank you* for making me stick to it. Also lots of love to Benji for being such good company. "Trust that the answers you're seeking are within". Hugs. xx
was fighting back tears through the whole practice ~ just one of those days. i'm really loving the variety of the practices and the ebb and flow of the videos day by day. also, thank you for including Benji in the practices this year; there's something about his presence that amps up the meaning for me.
This practice was the most difficult for me by far - it's always surprising to me how hard it can be to quiet my mind and slow things down, even for just a little while! Thanks so much for challenging me to leave my comfort zone and supporting all of us with this beautiful movement.
I gotta say, your daily email is helping me an extra lot this year. Yesterday you warned us it was going to be a challenge, and that today’s was going to be more meditative and restful. Not only did that help me yesterday (“okay, I’ll just expect it to be a challenge and do my best!”) but it also helped me look forward to today. And now that I’ve done today’s practice, I feel accomplished. I really can’t believe that I made it to day 14 with everyone. Here’s hoping I can stick with it to the end. This is my third January starting the year off with YWA, but may be the first that I finish on the 31st. 🤞🏼
I love how you said “just forgive yourself for whatever it is.” Something had been bothering me all day, a silly mistake I made..and you reminded me right then and there to forgive myself and just let it go! Thank you I needed this type of practice
Thank you, Adriene, for another great yoga day. I really like the rhythm and the pace. I appreciate that you have slower, longer, almost meditative / self-care days mixed in with the harder, more energetic yoga. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm already experiencing a difference. I can touch my toes now when I stand up - although the wife says I still have a slight bend in my knees when I do it. No worries. I am where I am today and enjoying seeing the gradual improvement. Thank you for being a positive influence in my life.
I love you, you are too funny, "and then use your dog to", another good one Adriene, and I was actually looking around, for only God knows what, I don't even own a dog; lol! This was TRUEly amazing, stretching is what I look forward to most in yoga. For me, it is a time to not only try to let go but to relax and experience a sense of purging. You are thanking us, well you are welcome, but THANK YOU Adriene!!! God willing have a spectacular day because you have helped to make mine so. Namaste 🙏💖
Recently I’ve noticed an almost-painful tingling in the back of my neck and down my spine when doing forward fold (standing or seated), as if my muscles are coming back to life after being compressed for far too long. Felt it a lot today! Inhabiting my own body has been a challenge since childhood. I’ve always been tall and a little disproportionate. Adriene, you help me take up space and become more of myself. Thank you. 🧘🏻♀️✨❤️
Yes. I get that. I am also a nice height and when younger wanted to fit in and walked around all hunched up. Now....am loving my height. Keep standing tall and being present with your beautiful body. Namaste
Congratulations on showing up today, some days it's really hard! I scraped in right at the end of today because I was procrastinating 😂 We've made it two whole weeks now! Also, I was very relieved when Adriene said today would be a slow practice because I tried a pole dancing class yesterday and my arms are incredibly sore hahaha
I agree with loads of the comments below and a really grateful for this programme. I’m new to daily practice this year and you’ve been such a help. My only request is that we have more quiet, so when you say ‘I’m going to stop talking now’, that you do, even for a minute, as it would stretch me to listen to my own inner voice while I practice and not just rely on you so much. Hope that’s ok to say. Thank you again and much love to you and all xx
I've been doing the 30 day yoga series back to back (doing older ones) since the newest one Jan 1, 2023, and I can really feel myself getting stronger and looser. Particularly my knees and ankles along with a strong core that is now turning inward! I love the sounds of your voice, humor and insight. It really calms me every evening. Namaste.
These are my favorite days...Austin transplant in London...you make me homesick Adriene. My message today is to share my feedback with people that need to hear it to help them stay inspired. So Adriene, I want to give you my heartfelt gratitude for inspiring me to do yoga for 30 days (my first yoga ever!) and everyone else, thank you for inspiring me to show up every day as we are on this path together. 💕 much love and namaste 🙏
Ah! I plan to spend some time in London in the fall! Thank you my friend, it is my sincere pleasure to share this journey with you. Namaste. Let's keep going. xoo
LOVED today (which is nowhere close to the actual "today" of the video, as I am doing this in 2020. I look forward every day to my one anchoring activity in this time of the pandemic (COVID-19, that is. God Forbid sometime in the future, someone might read this and think, "WHICH pandemic?" I realized today how curious I am about each day's practice. Love the variety. Today was just what I needed. Thank you Adriene!!!! (But, yes, as someone below said: I come for the dog. Thanks Benji!!! Wish my dog were as tolerant and cuddly and comfortable. But I love her anyway.)
Noticed a lot of pain in my back and legs but chose to embrace it and lean in. Usually I shy away from deeper stretches because I experience a lot of tightness but I did something different today. I had the thought "my body's got this". And I experienced a flow of energy that I've been needing. Wasn't expecting that with this practice. Sometimes the listen is more brave than anything else.
Today was the day that Harley, my dog, decided to really join me on the mat. He thought it was great fun! Slowing down and laughing with your dog: it doesn't get much better than that! Thanks, Adriene!
Day 14 ✅ Thank YOU, Adriene! If it weren't for your channel and guidance I wouldn't have come to love yoga this much! All the challenges, videos for different purposes and the way you guide us through a video is the best. Really, i love that you talk throughout the video, all the jokes, everything! It's fun and relaxed instead of rigid and formal. 🙏 ❤
Day 14, good morning/afternoon/night everyone!! 💕 I can't think of a better way to start the day than this beautiful calming practice. Thank you sweet Adriene, not only for another awesome day but for the smiles you put on my face today!! 🙏 also, it's great to have Benji back 😍 See you tomorrow, Namaste!
I woke up in cold, snow-covered northern IL today stiff, achy, & slow. I'm a little behind in my 30-day journey, but it turned out to be perfect timing as this practice was just what I needed today. I usually prefer the more aggressive poses, so loving this session so much was a surprise. It was a real gift. I will certainly return to this one, and recommend it to others as well.Thank you, Adriene.
This one made me cry a few times- starting when you talked about forgiveness. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in what I "should" be doing to make myself feel better that I don't realize I'm doing what I can. I needed to slow down and re-focus, instead of continuing to ignore my needs while feeling guilty about it. Thank you for talking me through it today.
Agreed! The tears came when on the left hip for me. I'm beginning to notice that's where my suppressed "I'm fine" emotions have been hiding all these years!
It's amazing how I'm thinking something, then you say: "I know what you're thinking..." and it's exactly what I was thinking! That's half of why I'm loving this series! Oh, and Benji too! My two Jack Russells are often doing downward dog with me. I just love it!
Oh Adriene. Thank you so much! I want to send this session to everyone as a hug right now! I’m going to send it to my mum and hope it makes her feel as warm and contented as it made me feel. Thank you always for your guidance! 🙏🏼💛
DAY 14 completed! Lovely practice. Video liked, and mantra below. Todays Mantra: Day 14 - I will seek answers within and listen to the pure intentions of my heart.
Wow! At first I was like, today seems pretty easy until I tried lifting up my legs with my hands. I found that pretty challenging. I'll be repeating this challenge later on in the day because I found it great for my posture. It's always great listening to you because I trust you as an awesome guide on this journey. Staying true to oneself really requires a lot of dedication and commitment. 🙂 You're simply amazing Adriene. I was in Dallas, Texas last week and pretty cool knowing I was closer to my guide. 🙂 The intuition as they say is always right. I agree that we should always listen to our intuition. You inspire us all Adriene!!! Always delighted waking up to explore the next challenge!!! 🙂👍🙂👍
I think she has classses you can attend in Dallas. I so wish I could go, but I don't ever see myself going to there any time soon. So YWA on youtube will have to do.
💝No doubt, this has become one of my absolute favorites. My heart and mind have been such a wreck lately, and I finally came to the idea that what I might be missing is to LISTEN. Every moment was like a jewel. I couldn’t believe what I was gaining while in the process of this practice. I’m so grateful for being able to find a place of balance within from what you’ve created for us all, on this platform. Thank you, Adriene.
This practice was as if sent directly from the Heavens or from another supernatural force. Literally 5 minutes before getting down on the mat I was telling my flatmates that "I don't know what to do. I think I'll do some yoga and then I'll figure it out." Now I know, so thank you Adriene, you are awesome!
I have to admit, I missed three days. Life got hectic and I feel off. But I'm back today, baby! I just finished day 13's Strength and Harmony (which was fabulous) and THIS... oh man, this practice was perfectly timed. I start my second semester of my junior year of college today and in the midst of printing syllabi, figuring out what to pack for lunch and making sure I grab my laptop charger I was able to stop, breathe, and listen to what my body needs. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I am a yoga newbie, tried it a few times in other times and places, but it never touched me. But now, after 14 days of your amazing yoga, i think i cannot go without it anymore. 💛🙏
This practice was saaa-weeeet... such a lovely way to start the day (as always) and Benji is the cutest bolster haha. TRUE has to be one of the most appropriate titles for your practice, Adriene. You're such an authentic, honest teacher who shines the way forward. Blessed be! xx
Depending on what's going on, I find a stillness practice often more difficult than the more physical practice. Awesome practice today since I needed to 'listen' more closely. I am loving this journey with everyone! Thank you, Adriene!
I love imagining the other 209k people doing this with us. I know not everyone does it at the exact same time, but a lot of us might be. I love your yoga practices and am truly grateful every time i end up back on my mat. Thank you Adriene!
Lat year I would have skipped this day but now I understand its value - thank you! As an aside I have a clothing brand and our model came in for a pre-shoot fitting and guess what, she loves you too and had done the session before she came to us - It was an Adriene love-in! X
Oh my goodness , what a great practice, especially since I did day 13 today, as well. Monday is usually a 2 practice day. I have suffered with intermittent piriformas syndrome for several years. Left hip is out of wack right now, butt (hehehe) the last massage posture has helped and is one that I will be doing repeatedly. Thanks for all you do to make this a great experience for us.
Just finished todays video, and feel like crying! Like a joyful cry. Proud of myself for showing up, proud of all of us working gently with our bodies, proud to find a teacher like Adriene who isn't in it for the yoga glam, the viral fame, or any of that nonsense. She just gets it, she gets me, and I am so very grateful!!!!!
Just what I needed, last night I was reflecting on how I felt like I wasn't listening to myself and how much I needed to find a space of stillness AND THEN THIS HAPPENED. I love you, Adriene.
In England it's very hot - the temperature today is between 28 - 30 degrees celsius. I could not not do my true yoga practice and was pleased to note day 14 was a calm practice. Thank you once again - the perfect tonic to a blisteringly hot day☺
I’m 16 and I️ absolutely love these practices. I’ve been doing them everyday for about a month before the 30 day challenge. Thank you so much for this. It’s truly amazing.
Hiya! First of all; I may sound like a crazy dog lady, but Benji's presence brings something very special to these videos. His super chill doggy energy radiates and makes me feel calmer, even through a computer screen. Crazy, but true haha 😂 What I'm really here for though, is to tell you how thankful I am for this series, and everything you do in general. I've tried to do your 30 day yoga challenges a thousand times before, but I'd always end up quitting, going off track and never picking myself up, which is pretty much what I do with everything in my life. My lack of consistency and faith in myself had brought me to very dark places, and I'm tired of self sabotaging my every attempt to find some light. Something's different this time though. I've commited to a healthier lifestyle, and this series has become the guideline of my journey, like a set little domething that I must do every day, not out of obligation, but because it truly makes me feel better and BE better. You're a very special comunicator, Adrienne. What you say resonates deeply, and yet you manage to make your lessons lighthearted, playful, and just a joy to join. I'm sorry for the wall of text, but today I really clicked, I REALLY listened, and I feel transformed. If, by chance, you ever read this, please know that I am eternally grateful for your work. Love from Argentina ❤️
Sometimes I want to continually push my body to expand but today I’ve been reminded that the contraction and the listening is part of the motion. Thanks sweet lady. ❤️
I thought I should share with you guys my experience during this practise. At the 8:40 pose, I started cry for no reason... But then, I understood why and there is a lot of sense there... Thank you Adriene, for such a rich experiences during this journey.
Wow. Just starting this practice. I am a bit behind because I’ve put off a few days here and there from stress. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and there have been times in my life where I have felt the depths of self-loathing, having social anxiety hasn’t made my perception of other people all that great either. When I follow your practises I feel a lot more connected, balanced, and true to myself, and I feel the potential to feel that way towards others too. Some of your words towards the end really got to me and I teared up. What you seek you already have ❤️ thank you for helping me connect with myself and be a little more grounded. This is an exciting journey for me as I already notice improvements in my centre, balance, posture, strength, self-love, and my connectivity to others. Love from Ontario 🇨🇦
After 44 days of yoga (did dedicate before this challenge), I cannot begin to describe how much it has done for me - I'm mentally stronger, physically stronger, starting to feel spiritually stronger (and I thought I wasn't spritual at all starting this journey!). Yoga makes me smile, Adriene makes me laugh and Benji makes me happy - perfect trio! Did this after travrling for 10 hours by car, bus, train and a long walk carrying way too much for one small girl. My whole body was sore, but right now I feel like I just gave everything the best massage. And for a long time I wasn't able to rest my head on my knees without it hurting due to stiffness from stress, but suddenly I could! And it felt good! Thank you sp much Adriene! Without these videos I don't know if I'd ever discover or even tried doing yoga - and not for 44 days straight! Namaste ❤
That was great! I must have been a bit tensed up over all this winter loveliness we're having in Ohio, though, had one major muscle spasm in my neck one one of those leg stretches. I worked it out, though, and moved on! Hugs to Benji.
Ahhh, I giggled aloud every time you referenced Benji... from "sharing the stage" to "use your dog to really press your foot in" to your "breathing bolster" - hahahahaha. I love how he didn't move an inch throughout the whole video too! Too funny! He's so sweet! Loved how that practice felt too - it feels really good today. I don't know why but every time you end the video telling us you love us or that you're proud of us... I cry. I don't know where that comes from, but thank you... because I'm obviously responding to that because I need it. Thank you so much for this journey. - Ashlee Schmitt * P.S. I can't believe how much more flexible I've become in just 14 days!!!
The magic of Yoga! Sometimes I can’t tell which is harder, slowing down or working hard, lol. I did this practice by candlelight with some good intention thrown in. I needed this since I was hunched over my study materials for hours today. I’m glad to give it a rest for now and center myself. I chose to do a grounding meditation at the beginning to balance myself out a bit. This is how I improvise. I spent a lot of time unclenching my eyes and my jaw and my neck, so I know that sometimes slowing down I can focus on the little things which are just as important as all the big things I have going on too. See you tomorrow! Namaste 🙏🏾
Give yourself permission to slow down.
Practice patience and pay attention to what the body and the heart or guts are telling you.
When we go too fast we can miss important signals. Love your body and be kind with your thoughts.There are a lot of nuggets out on the mat. Stay present and enjoy!
Use a blanket today to lift the hips! Also, there might be some massage at the end of this practice. YAY.
TRUE is like a box of chocolates, you never know are going to get.
See You Tomorrow at the HALFWAY mark!
Yoga With Adriene thank you!!!
Mmmmmmm yoga chocolates - thank you :D
Thank you for today, I needed to listen and slow down, to stop feeling like I am not doing enough and listen to my body.
I really enjoy today thank u💗
Wow today was definitely a treat! And you and the puppy are so adorable. You make me smile every day. Thank you so much Adriene.
Yoga With Adriene 📦🍫🍫🍫🤛🏾👌🏾😍
“What you seek, you already have.” 🙏
I just wanted to thank you for providing this practice for free on RUclips. I'm a mother of 3 and don't have the option to visit a yoga studio. I do yoga with your videos daily and feel supported and nurtured in my journey. I'm very grateful.
I second that!
thank you for this birthday gift, 64 and smiling deep...
Happy Birthday, friend! xxoo
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday!
puresue Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Truth is not something you invent, but something you realize. Every generation must look at what is really needed, and be willing to throw out what no longer works.
I don't know how you're doing it, but you're making me more, well, me. I can't thank you enough. You're a revolutionary. This series has been like a wonder drug, helping me finally work through some inner demons that 3 years of counseling hasn't worked out. You're guiding me through me, which is fascinating... you wizard.
Thank you. Namaste.
SAME!
I feel the same way, only after 30 years of therapy. Here
's my other teacher/treasure: breakyourselfhelpaddiction.com/
I couldn't agree more! Lots of love from Germany
❤️❤️❤️ same!!
Yoga wizard Adriene ✨️ ♥️ 🙏🏼
My dog loves the sound of your voice. As soon as I start the video, he assumes the Benji position and mirrors him exactly. I too had a breathing bolster at the end of my mat today. So peaceful.
The breathing bolster! :D
By the third day, my dog heard puppy pose and ran over and started doing it over my arms. 😂 now everyday when I bring out my mat she thinks it’s belly rub time! ❤️
Thank you! I teach 3rd grade and we do yoga with you every day! The students enjoy all of your videos, especially the ones with your dog! Can’t wait to do this one on Tuesday 😍
That is so great. I try to get my daughter to do yoga with me, but she has the attention span of a fly. Maybe when she gets older.
Adriene also has quite a robust collection of yoga videos for children. 😊 She's my hero!
When I printed out my calendar for this journey, I thought I would paint a little heart on those days I'd like to return to after the 30 days were over. Now I painted a heart on every single day so far! Love you Adriene! It is a pleasure to spend time with you every day. As I said on a previous video: 365 day of yoga - here I come!
Lying down with one hand on my heart and the other on my gut brought me to tears today. And here I was thinking the practice to listen would be hard because ever since my recent breakup listening usually brings me memories that are still hard to think of and yet everything went smoothly and by the end my tears were tears of gratitude.

Ur not alone ! Sending so much love ur way ❤ xoxo
The three pillars of yoga: Mind, Body, and Dog. Beautiful practice
Today was difficult. Including tears. *Thank you* for making me stick to it. Also lots of love to Benji for being such good company. "Trust that the answers you're seeking are within". Hugs. xx
aww hey past me I luv u
I love how Benji is just chilling out with you!
keep talking as you guide us please, as I tend to listen more than watch
Yes, I talk so you don't have to watch and to guide you to listen to your body not emulate. Thank you my friend. Have an amazing day.
was fighting back tears through the whole practice ~ just one of those days. i'm really loving the variety of the practices and the ebb and flow of the videos day by day. also, thank you for including Benji in the practices this year; there's something about his presence that amps up the meaning for me.

You can do it! And even if you don't, remember you are awesome for every day you made it to your mat already!
sarahgrin stick to it girl! See you on day 30.
I agree! I felt the same way!!
Thank you so much!😍
A beautiful practice for my 30th birthday. What a gift! Thank you Adriene. Namaste
Suzanne den Daas Happy Birthday!! 🎂🎉
Happy birthday!!!!! :)
Happy Birthday, Suzanne!
I love how you said “just forgive yourself for whatever it is.” Something had been bothering me all day, a silly mistake I made..and you reminded me right then and there to forgive myself and just let it go! Thank you I needed this type of practice
I️ made it to the mat. That’s all I️ have to say
Thank you, Adriene, for another great yoga day. I really like the rhythm and the pace. I appreciate that you have slower, longer, almost meditative / self-care days mixed in with the harder, more energetic yoga. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm already experiencing a difference.

Thank goodness today was a calmer practice... I am SORE!
me too lol
Oh Benji, he doesn’t mind anything!
Thank you, thank you, great practice especially the way of the world at the moment. xxx
Love you Adriene! “FANCY” 😂😂😂
TRUE is so wonderful, thank you!!
Who didn’t want to do yoga today? 🙋🏼♀️ who did it anyways & was obsessed with the fact that it was so chill? 🙋🏼♀️ Thank You Adriene.
Recently I’ve noticed an almost-painful tingling in the back of my neck and down my spine when doing forward fold (standing or seated), as if my muscles are coming back to life after being compressed for far too long. Felt it a lot today! Inhabiting my own body has been a challenge since childhood. I’ve always been tall and a little disproportionate. Adriene, you help me take up space and become more of myself.

Yes. I get that. I am also a nice height and when younger wanted to fit in and walked around all hunched up. Now....am loving my height. Keep standing tall and being present with your beautiful body. Namaste
Ntathu Allen ❤️🧘🏻♀️✨🙏🏼 namaste!
the same feeling!
My mind was super distracted today, but I showed up and I'm glad I did 😊
Congratulations on showing up today, some days it's really hard! I scraped in right at the end of today because I was procrastinating 😂 We've made it two whole weeks now! Also, I was very relieved when Adriene said today would be a slow practice because I tried a pole dancing class yesterday and my arms are incredibly sore hahaha
@@tamsycam 🤣 oh wow you must be tired! That was the perfect practice then to recharge your sore arms! Nice job doing pole and yoga!
Yesssss, Adriene - nailed it with this upload time. Just in time for a London morning practice 🌧🙏🇬🇧
Yummmmm. Feeling much more centered and calm. Thank you!
teacher u have help overcome a ansiety attack...thanks for saying that i have everything i need is true and tnaks to u

My six year old did this one with me. Sooo good we both needed it THanks Adriene
I've been doing the 30 day yoga series back to back (doing older ones) since the newest one Jan 1, 2023, and I can really feel myself getting stronger and looser. Particularly my knees and ankles along with a strong core that is now turning inward! I love the sounds of your voice, humor and insight. It really calms me every evening. Namaste.
I am doing the same 😊
These are my favorite days...Austin transplant in London...you make me homesick Adriene. My message today is to share my feedback with people that need to hear it to help them stay inspired. So Adriene, I want to give you my heartfelt gratitude for inspiring me to do yoga for 30 days (my first yoga ever!) and everyone else, thank you for inspiring me to show up every day as we are on this path together. 💕 much love and namaste 🙏
Ah! I plan to spend some time in London in the fall! Thank you my friend, it is my sincere pleasure to share this journey with you. Namaste. Let's keep going. xoo
LOVED today (which is nowhere close to the actual "today" of the video, as I am doing this in 2020. I look forward every day to my one anchoring activity in this time of the pandemic (COVID-19, that is. God Forbid sometime in the future, someone might read this and think, "WHICH pandemic?" I realized today how curious I am about each day's practice. Love the variety. Today was just what I needed. Thank you Adriene!!!! (But, yes, as someone below said: I come for the dog. Thanks Benji!!! Wish my dog were as tolerant and cuddly and comfortable. But I love her anyway.)
Noticed a lot of pain in my back and legs but chose to embrace it and lean in. Usually I shy away from deeper stretches because I experience a lot of tightness but I did something different today. I had the thought "my body's got this". And I experienced a flow of energy that I've been needing. Wasn't expecting that with this practice. Sometimes the listen is more brave than anything else.
Today was the day that Harley, my dog, decided to really join me on the mat. He thought it was great fun! Slowing down and laughing with your dog: it doesn't get much better than that! Thanks, Adriene!
Day 14 ✅
Thank YOU, Adriene! If it weren't for your channel and guidance I wouldn't have come to love yoga this much! All the challenges, videos for different purposes and the way you guide us through a video is the best. Really, i love that you talk throughout the video, all the jokes, everything! It's fun and relaxed instead of rigid and formal. 🙏 ❤
knowing that, what you seek, you already have. made my tears flow down unexpectedly. Thank you❤️🧘✨
"I came here for Love" on radio, guided. .simultaneously as lying in shivasana👌
I like how you do yoga. My kids were watching youtube so I heard a combination of gunfire and laughing.
Benji is just the cutest! The love and trust between you two is so evident.
Day 14, good morning/afternoon/night everyone!! 💕 I can't think of a better way to start the day than this beautiful calming practice. Thank you sweet Adriene, not only for another awesome day but for the smiles you put on my face today!! 🙏 also, it's great to have Benji back 😍
See you tomorrow, Namaste!
Really loved this slow down day! My sides were a little tender from yesterday. This gave them a rest and a good stretch. See you tomorrow
I woke up in cold, snow-covered northern IL today stiff, achy, & slow. I'm a little behind in my 30-day journey, but it turned out to be perfect timing as this practice was just what I needed today. I usually prefer the more aggressive poses, so loving this session so much was a surprise. It was a real gift. I will certainly return to this one, and recommend it to others as well.Thank you, Adriene.
I can never thank you enough. You've helped me so much, I am finding myself again. Thank you you're my role model
Somehow this journey is exactly what I need every single day. Thank you so much Adriene, I already am feeling lighter, stronger and alive.
I completely agree!
I was just telling my husband how I feel so much lighter, bouncy even!!
It was beautiful. Cried, mind wandered yet completed the practice❤
Adriene you are amazing👍
This one made me cry a few times- starting when you talked about forgiveness. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in what I "should" be doing to make myself feel better that I don't realize I'm doing what I can. I needed to slow down and re-focus, instead of continuing to ignore my needs while feeling guilty about it. Thank you for talking me through it today.
Agreed! The tears came when on the left hip for me. I'm beginning to notice that's where my suppressed "I'm fine" emotions have been hiding all these years!
It's amazing how I'm thinking something, then you say: "I know what you're thinking..." and it's exactly what I was thinking! That's half of why I'm loving this series! Oh, and Benji too! My two Jack Russells are often doing downward dog with me. I just love it!
This has really helped my exam stress for my mocks, thank you Adriene, I appreciate you putting your time in for this lovely practice
Ellen Coughlan Oh boy, me too. I write chemistry in two days and I'm so anxious. Good luck!
Same to you my friend
Oh Adriene. Thank you so much! I want to send this session to everyone as a hug right now! I’m going to send it to my mum and hope it makes her feel as warm and contented as it made me feel.
Thank you always for your guidance! 🙏🏼💛
DAY 14 completed! Lovely practice. Video liked, and mantra below.
Todays Mantra: Day 14 - I will seek answers within and listen to the pure intentions of my heart.
Beautiful Monique!
Thank you Adriene!
"Knowing that what you seek you already have."
Wow! At first I was like, today seems pretty easy until I tried lifting up my legs with my hands. I found that pretty challenging. I'll be repeating this challenge later on in the day because I found it great for my posture. It's always great listening to you because I trust you as an awesome guide on this journey. Staying true to oneself really requires a lot of dedication and commitment. 🙂 You're simply amazing Adriene. I was in Dallas, Texas last week and pretty cool knowing I was closer to my guide. 🙂 The intuition as they say is always right. I agree that we should always listen to our intuition. You inspire us all Adriene!!! Always delighted waking up to explore the next challenge!!! 🙂👍🙂👍
I think she has classses you can attend in Dallas. I so wish I could go, but I don't ever see myself going to there any time soon. So YWA on youtube will have to do.
Thanks for the information. I'll check it out when next I'm in Dallas. Glad we get to encourage one another on this awesome challenge. Cheers! :)
Thank you do much for being here 💚
Today I enjoyed the lesson with my friends on my mat (dog and cat)
Well, I had to restart 7 minutes in because I was so fidgety!! I will repeat this one again just before bed. Thank you Adriene x
Yes, this is the practice.
💝No doubt, this has become one of my absolute favorites. My heart and mind have been such a wreck lately, and I finally came to the idea that what I might be missing is to LISTEN. Every moment was like a jewel. I couldn’t believe what I was gaining while in the process of this practice. I’m so grateful for being able to find a place of balance within from what you’ve created for us all, on this platform. Thank you, Adriene.
This practice was as if sent directly from the Heavens or from another supernatural force. Literally 5 minutes before getting down on the mat I was telling my flatmates that "I don't know what to do. I think I'll do some yoga and then I'll figure it out." Now I know, so thank you Adriene, you are awesome!
"what you seek, you already have" is such a beautiful quote.. *__*
I have to admit, I missed three days. Life got hectic and I feel off. But I'm back today, baby! I just finished day 13's Strength and Harmony (which was fabulous) and THIS... oh man, this practice was perfectly timed. I start my second semester of my junior year of college today and in the midst of printing syllabi, figuring out what to pack for lunch and making sure I grab my laptop charger I was able to stop, breathe, and listen to what my body needs. Thank you!!!
"Remember: what you seek is what you already have."
Made my day
Thank you so much! I am a yoga newbie, tried it a few times in other times and places, but it never touched me. But now, after 14 days of your amazing yoga, i think i cannot go without it anymore. 💛🙏
This practice was saaa-weeeet... such a lovely way to start the day (as always) and Benji is the cutest bolster haha. TRUE has to be one of the most appropriate titles for your practice, Adriene. You're such an authentic, honest teacher who shines the way forward. Blessed be! xx
A lovely practice to take stock breathe listen. Ooh Adriene ! How we all wish we had a Benji bolster .... perfect ☺️💞
My two bolsters were both curled up sleeping on the couch today. No bolster for me.
Depending on what's going on, I find a stillness practice often more difficult than the more physical practice. Awesome practice today since I needed to 'listen' more closely. I am loving this journey with everyone! Thank you, Adriene!
Absolutely! You are not alone in this! Thank you for sharing Suzanne! Namaste.
I love imagining the other 209k people doing this with us. I know not everyone does it at the exact same time, but a lot of us might be. I love your yoga practices and am truly grateful every time i end up back on my mat. Thank you Adriene!
Lat year I would have skipped this day but now I understand its value - thank you!
As an aside I have a clothing brand and our model came in for a pre-shoot fitting and guess what, she loves you too and had done the session before she came to us - It was an Adriene love-in! X
Perfect end to a very challenging day. Can't imagine life without yoga after 2 months following your channel. Thank you. 🙏❤️
Oh my goodness , what a great practice, especially since I did day 13 today, as well. Monday is usually a 2 practice day.
I have suffered with intermittent piriformas syndrome for several years. Left hip is out of wack right now, butt (hehehe) the last massage posture has helped and is one that I will be doing repeatedly. Thanks for all you do to make this a great experience for us.
Just finished todays video, and feel like crying! Like a joyful cry. Proud of myself for showing up, proud of all of us working gently with our bodies, proud to find a teacher like Adriene who isn't in it for the yoga glam, the viral fame, or any of that nonsense. She just gets it, she gets me, and I am so very grateful!!!!!
Just what I needed, last night I was reflecting on how I felt like I wasn't listening to myself and how much I needed to find a space of stillness AND THEN THIS HAPPENED. I love you, Adriene.
The practice showed up because you did! Whooo!
In England it's very hot - the temperature today is between 28 - 30 degrees celsius. I could not not do my true yoga practice and was pleased to note day 14 was a calm practice. Thank you once again - the perfect tonic to a blisteringly hot day☺
I’m 16 and I️ absolutely love these practices. I’ve been doing them everyday for about a month before the 30 day challenge. Thank you so much for this. It’s truly amazing.
I gotchu!! Body, mind,spirit, soul! The whole package💕
Yeah! Benji!! My Meg decided to do her yoga on the couch today not on my mat. Enjoyed this slow Monday morning practice.
Hiya! First of all; I may sound like a crazy dog lady, but Benji's presence brings something very special to these videos. His super chill doggy energy radiates and makes me feel calmer, even through a computer screen. Crazy, but true haha 😂
What I'm really here for though, is to tell you how thankful I am for this series, and everything you do in general. I've tried to do your 30 day yoga challenges a thousand times before, but I'd always end up quitting, going off track and never picking myself up, which is pretty much what I do with everything in my life. My lack of consistency and faith in myself had brought me to very dark places, and I'm tired of self sabotaging my every attempt to find some light.
Something's different this time though. I've commited to a healthier lifestyle, and this series has become the guideline of my journey, like a set little domething that I must do every day, not out of obligation, but because it truly makes me feel better and BE better. You're a very special comunicator, Adrienne. What you say resonates deeply, and yet you manage to make your lessons lighthearted, playful, and just a joy to join.
I'm sorry for the wall of text, but today I really clicked, I REALLY listened, and I feel transformed. If, by chance, you ever read this, please know that I am eternally grateful for your work.
Love from Argentina ❤️
Man, this practice felt so good! I didn't want it to end!
Added to favorites*
Thank you once again, you are a blessing to this Universe. Namaste ~
Sometimes I want to continually push my body to expand but today I’ve been reminded that the contraction and the listening is part of the motion. Thanks sweet lady. ❤️
I finished this practice off with a nice long shavasana. Perfection.
Awwww... benji is such a good puppy! I love how he exemplifies what a true yogi will experience on your channel. Great practice today!
I am seriously thinking about getting a pet now, lazy Benji is a missing part of my life I did not know about❤️
I have to say..I love how chill Benji is and just lets you use him as a bolster :)
I thought I should share with you guys my experience during this practise. At the 8:40 pose, I started cry for no reason... But then, I understood why and there is a lot of sense there... Thank you Adriene, for such a rich experiences during this journey.
this practice is awesome. Should be a weekly parentheses. Great for when you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or when there's a lot of energy around you.
Wow. Just starting this practice. I am a bit behind because I’ve put off a few days here and there from stress. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and there have been times in my life where I have felt the depths of self-loathing, having social anxiety hasn’t made my perception of other people all that great either. When I follow your practises I feel a lot more connected, balanced, and true to myself, and I feel the potential to feel that way towards others too. Some of your words towards the end really got to me and I teared up. What you seek you already have ❤️ thank you for helping me connect with myself and be a little more grounded. This is an exciting journey for me as I already notice improvements in my centre, balance, posture, strength, self-love, and my connectivity to others. Love from Ontario 🇨🇦
I struggle with anxiety and depression as well , and Yoga With Adriene has helped me tremendously . Ur on the right path . Sending love ur way 😘❤ xoxo
After 44 days of yoga (did dedicate before this challenge), I cannot begin to describe how much it has done for me - I'm mentally stronger, physically stronger, starting to feel spiritually stronger (and I thought I wasn't spritual at all starting this journey!). Yoga makes me smile, Adriene makes me laugh and Benji makes me happy - perfect trio! Did this after travrling for 10 hours by car, bus, train and a long walk carrying way too much for one small girl. My whole body was sore, but right now I feel like I just gave everything the best massage. And for a long time I wasn't able to rest my head on my knees without it hurting due to stiffness from stress, but suddenly I could! And it felt good! Thank you sp much Adriene! Without these videos I don't know if I'd ever discover or even tried doing yoga - and not for 44 days straight! Namaste ❤
Holy moly, that was so nice
Love day 14! Find it harder to easy do it! Lol thank you Namaste 🙏
That was great! I must have been a bit tensed up over all this winter loveliness we're having in Ohio, though, had one major muscle spasm in my neck one one of those leg stretches. I worked it out, though, and moved on! Hugs to Benji.
THANK YOU for reminding me to LISTEN - wonderful way to start the day
Who doesn't love a bum mush on a Monday mornin'?!! love to all from rainy England
Love coming back to you from frigid Canada.
Hey Danielle! I can't even imagine how frickin baltic it is over there! Brrrrrrrrrr....get brewing some yogi tea!!! x
YES, a good bum mush. I will have to remember this term.
Adriene!!! You know Billy Ocean... and you’re a young buck!! I’m loving your guidance!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Oh man, that glute massage 😂 this practice was really different, but I welcome something a little softer after yesterday! See you all tomorrow ♥
"Knowing that what you seek; you already have" Always such a pleasure to come back to this practise. Merci !
Ahhh, I giggled aloud every time you referenced Benji... from "sharing the stage" to "use your dog to really press your foot in" to your "breathing bolster" - hahahahaha. I love how he didn't move an inch throughout the whole video too! Too funny! He's so sweet! Loved how that practice felt too - it feels really good today. I don't know why but every time you end the video telling us you love us or that you're proud of us... I cry. I don't know where that comes from, but thank you... because I'm obviously responding to that because I need it. Thank you so much for this journey. - Ashlee Schmitt * P.S. I can't believe how much more flexible I've become in just 14 days!!!
Same here, everytime towards the end I feel such a warm love and relief almost, like I am a bit more home. Makes me tear up almost every day.
Ahhh, thank youuuuuu!! I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one. I was feeling like such a weirdo!
I cry everytime girl lol 😘❤ xoxo
The magic of Yoga! Sometimes I can’t tell which is harder, slowing down or working hard, lol. I did this practice by candlelight with some good intention thrown in. I needed this since I was hunched over my study materials for hours today. I’m glad to give it a rest for now and center myself. I chose to do a grounding meditation at the beginning to balance myself out a bit. This is how I improvise. I spent a lot of time unclenching my eyes and my jaw and my neck, so I know that sometimes slowing down I can focus on the little things which are just as important as all the big things I have going on too. See you tomorrow! Namaste 🙏🏾
