Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever. RUMI Happy Day 1. I love you all!! - Adriene ☺️
I have the flu, I'm in a foreign country, feeling depressed because I'm sick. There's no yoga mat and the floor is very hard tile. But I found a tablecloth to put down, and gently went through Day 1. It's remarkable how hopeful I feel now; that was a great energy changer. Thank you, Adrienne, and the YWA community!
So proud of you and same!! Currently in Europe, visiting from the US, woke up with sore throat and a heavy head. No yoga mat. Using a bath towel. But guess what - WE SHOWED UP. Sending all the love and healing
Thank you for your comment! I've been having flu like symptoms for days and feeling really crummy, wasn't sure I was up to it but your comment motivated me and showed me I could do it anyway! Thank you
Shout out to everyone who is getting back to their yoga habit after time away, and realised in the first few minutes if this practice just how GOOD it feels - it can be so hard to make time to get on the mat, and then when you do, you feel your body uncrumpling and saying 'thank you!' and you never want to leave again - ! ❤
@@carlijngeukers5718 I have a joy jar that I’ve started and I put little love notes in there whenever I feel an immense moment of joy. Reading all those comments is one for the joy jar. I’m so thrilled for everyone and rooting for each and every one of you!🙏♥️
Hi Adriene! I’m a retired 71 year old from the San Francisco Bay Area, recently widowed from Cris who died from breast cancer April 10, 2022. Before she passed she was doing your videos. I recently got hooked on your 30 day challenges last year. I’ve been posting our daily sessions on Instagram and Facebook. They’ve helped me to stay focused through my grieving process. Thank you.
Hi Sir, I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm glad you showed up for this beautiful practice. I'm sure Cris is watching you and smiling from her beautiful place of rest. Namaste🙏
So sorry for your loss. My dad is going through the same thing after losing my mum at a similar time in 2022. I hope this yoga gives you some peace in your heart and a way to connect to Cris. ❤
Finally did day one on January 7th. Giving myself (and anyone else who needs or wants) permission to go at my own pace. So much love! Thank you, Adriene!
I‘m only starting today. I don‘t think I‘ll be able to do one every day, but I will do all 30 days, at a pace that works for me. Choosing my own flow:)
@@lolathesinger8192 righteous! I am paused as I’m visiting my parents this week. But also trust myself to get back to it at my own pace when I get home. ❤️
I was just thinking the same thing! I love how kind and positive and full of light and love these comments sections always are 😊 I guess it’s hard to be in a bad mood after a good yoga flow haha
Anytime I'm done with a YWA video I always take a few minutes to check the comment section, simply because this community is so precious, diverse and loving. It's really such a treat, especially in January. I also love checking the view count before I press play and then check it again after I'm done. Today I practiced along with approximately 10,000 others. What a joy. Greetings from south of Sweden 💖
I’m 74 and have been trying to recover from long Covid for 2 years and 2 months…as the time increases, it’s been hard to keep my spirits up. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to do this today, but gratefully the practice met me where I was at, and I feel hopeful. Thanks to Adrienne and this community…all of your comments are precious to read.
Sometimes it’s not about the outcome of doing the practice, but the journey we take when we set the intention, acknowledge it, and do it another day. Cheers to you and sending much love!
I'm so sorry to read this. I first started doing Yoga with Adriene when I had long Covid. For me the fatigue lasted nearly a year but I was one of the lucky ones who did get better...I really hope 2024 brings improvements for you. It is a horrible illness.
Hello everyone, This is coming to you from Wisconsin. I love the chance to start this journey on day 1 with everyone. I'm a 62 yr old widow. My husband passed away in 2019 of brain cancer. He built a yoga room to help calm his brain with meditation. I have been using this space doing yoga with Adriene. everyday for the last 4 yrs. I have become stronger and more centered in my mind and body. Thank you Adriene for transforming my life with yoga.
Hi Debbie, I am from Milwaukee, Shorewood really. I now live in Cary, NC. I love connecting with my fellow Cheeseheads. I am very happy we can share yoga together❤️
Hi Debbie, fellow Wisconsinite here! I just started a yoga practice last year thanks to Adriene's videos and I always look forward to my time on the mat. ❤
It’s 4:47am here in Yorkshire, UK. Adriene, I’ve been with you since your first video, and I’m still with you now Lass. You’re a gem, we love you to bits! Love to all my fellow yogis - cannot wait to see where we all end up in 30 days. Love & Light ❤
My 2024 has been off to a rough start emotionally. I find myself in a lot of pain, worry, and preoccupation. I also find myself here, caring for that worried mind and tense body alongside hundreds of thousands of other people. I am so proud of myself for showing up this morning. I am so proud of you all too.
I am the same as you, there is currently no one around me right now friends, family, housemates and so I felt alone and anxious but this helped me calm down so much sending love
I had a recent deeply painful loss and did this practice through tears. I hope to keep coming back to dedicate this practice to my loved one and find some peace. Sending love to you all out there, give your loved ones a big hug.
I’m from Iran. I cannot explain with word how much I was missing for doing yoga with Adrien. Her challenge are really magic. The whole day of my life become full of positive energy after doing yoga. I was a little angry today. But when I finished day 1 it is disappearing. It’s yoga magic.🧘🏻♀️💚🙏🏼thanks dear Adrien.
You said, "Set an intention." I said, "I will be better." Then you said, "Imagine it to already be true," and I said, "I am better." It blew me away! I realized how far I've come! Ty!! ❤
Hello beautiful people. I don’t even know how many years I’ve been doing this journey with Adriene, but here I am again. I’ve had a rough couple of years as my brother passed suddenly from a very aggressive colon cancer and I didn’t realize I was grieving until a couple of months ago. I lost interest in so many things and one of those things was my health. I packed on the pounds as I gave up caring about movement and healthy eating. But, now that I realize this, I can do better. So, here I am. Back on my mat. Struggling to take those cleansing deep breaths and barely making it through each movement. But, I’m here. Thank you for ALWAYS showing up, Adriene, and giving us the gentle reminder to find what feels good even while moving through grief, pain, and struggle. My intention for this practice is attention. Attention to my breath. Attention to the movement. Attention to continue moving through my grief. And attention to myself.
I am moving through a grief cycle, too, with similar repercussions to my health and well-being… and this is a chance for me to reconnect with myself and begin to make healthier choices, as acts of self-care. Just wanted to reach out and say my heart goes out to you in your grief. Thank you for sharing your story-it inspires me and gives me motivation to continue. So glad you are here!
Sending you hugs and healing on your journey through the grief. I also lost my brother [40 years ago] and despite the many years, that loss will always be a part of me. I know that self care is a huge part of the healing. Good for you taking the steps to love yourself, and allowing your emotions to flow through this challenging time. May this FLOW practice bring you inner calm. Namaste.
Mōrena tātou (good morning everyone) from Christchurch, New Zealand ❤️ I’ve been undergoing breast cancer treatment this year and after todays’s practice it feels like I’m finally coming home to myself. I feel good! Thank you Adrienne, and thank you to all the beautiful souls practicing alongside me ❤ have a lovely day.
Kia ora and wishing the new year is filled with much healing and health for you. I was recently in your beautiful town introducing YWA to a lovely friend there who is also joining this 30 days. So beautiful how the community spans the globe and interconnects us.
My youngest brother and I have been doing yoga with Adrienne for almost 4 years now. He is in Charleston, SC and I am in North Georgia mountains. We text each other almost every day with a picture of the calendar checked off that we completed the session. It’s been a wonderful and warm way to stay in touch and keep each other on track. We’ve even saved calendars from last months and years with all of our notes. We look forward to the next session. Thank you for making this available. 🎉. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2024!
I've been scrolling through the comments after completing day one of Flow. I can't read all 5,500+ comments but what I've scrolled through has brought a bit of a tear to an eye. A happy tear. The outpouring of generosity and caring in these comments is so wonderful. Excited to be on this journey with you all, no matter how many you wind up doing. This is my 3rd time doing 30 Days.
I have a habit of always reading the comments after I finish that day's practice--it truly adds another dimension of awe to see how this impacts such a broad community!
I'm in the same place right now, been crying non stop for like 5 minutes. We're all going through our own struggles, and it's amazing to share this experience that's helping us all cope with it all. It's my 9th year doing these 30 day challenges and it's always so grounding, and humbling to read through the comments. Good luck to us all through this journey. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.
Hi everyone, I am practicing from Sydney Australia and have done all the 30 days of Yoga since Adrienne started. My daughter got me onto you Adrienne! July 2023 I had a cardiac arrest and was resuscitated thankfully by an amazing man working out next to me at the gym. I am all clear now, know what my heart condition is and so happy that I am still around and I can do another 30 days of Yoga. My intention is to prioritise ME and carve the time for daily practice. ❤
I’ve had horrible mental health recently, gained some extra pounds and haven’t been taking care of myself - I was a bit wobbly at times but so proud that I’ve started this journey! Thank you Adriene for making your videos so calm and inviting - it doesn’t even feel like I’m exercising even though I’m hot and sweaty afterwards 😂🥰
I was airlifted to an ICU across the country this year because I was dying. Yesterday marked 2 months back home. I am honored to be alive and here. Thank you, Adriene and Benji and co. Ready to flow.
Happy for you! I’m on the same boat. I never want to see a hospital again.. How terrible & AWESOME at the same time it is that we are here practicing yoga! Sending strength & good health your way! Thank you Adriene!❤
hello to the 22k friends who practised with me from windy and wet England! Struggled a bit in this one after a bumpy health & work year in 2023, but had a little cry and picked myself up again. My intention is acceptance (and to try and complete all days this year, even if it takes a little longer!)
It’s been a while Adriene. My beautiful baby boy was stillborn on 15th November 2023. My world is forever changed by his absence. But today a rainbow shone in on my carpet before I laid down my yoga mat, and everything felt a little bit lighter. Freddie was with me as I returned to practice today 💛
Hello everyone from Bucharest, Romania. I had taken 3 months break after losing my mom last year. It's feels comforting to be back on the mat. Thank you to the 8k + people who practiced with me today 😊
I lost my Mom last year as well. I have tried to get back to the mat, but this year has been too difficult. I’m joining the 30 challenge to help heal and get back to a regular practice. Much peace and love to all who are struggling. ❤
Hello everyone from Cork, Ireland! I am generally very shy when it comes to online commenting, but just wanted to say a huge thank you to Adriene, Benji 🐶, and this community for having an opportunity to practice in such holistic, loving way. This channel is the reason I got so hooked on yoga like no other exercise, as it's my number 1 remedy for my health anxiety. I'm your avid fan for the fourth year, and this year I have set myself an intention to learn more about yoga practice and show up on the mat more regularly. Thank you very much, Adriene, for everything that you do ❤
Happy Day 1 everyone!! I’m a ballet dancer who just finished a gruelling run of the nutcracker so honouring and healing my body is my intention for this month. Yoga with Adriene has always been my “apology” to a body that I often have to push past its limits at my job. Much happiness to everyone practicing!
Oh, I remember those days! Congrats on wrapping up another year of Nutcracker. While things might feel crunchy and overworked at the moment, years from now those will be dear memories.
Hello everyone! I'm here, nearly 3 months after birth of my second child and I m sooooo happy to be back on the mat ! I missed you a lot, adrienne! My mind&body. Thank you for your work and hi to benji ! Let s flow it ! 💪
I am from Kyiv, Ukraine. Today russia air strikes over 90 different types of rockets, I havent slept all night and morning, one of the largest air attack for two years, and God knows how many lives are destroyed. But 4 hours after strike the electricity is back in my house and the first thing I do is our 30 Days of Yoga. I am happy and greatefull to be alive and I hope everyone can find peace, If not outside, at least inside. Thank You!
Feeling sweetly emotional and very much not alone as I scroll through the comments, seeing that so many of us are breathing together. This is my first time following Adriene's Yoga Journey at the beginning of the year, and what a healing experience it is already turning out to be. I am honored to be moving with all of you, how special. Thank you Adriene! ♥
This comment section solidifies what I love about Adrienne’s 30-day challenges: everyone practicing in their own time yet still together. This isn’t my first 30 day challenge but it’s been a while since I got on the mat, so I made sure to listen to my body and take breaks when I needed. Cheers to everyone on this journey!
I’ve started the journey today- with February. It’s my second year. 🌼 I’ve cried whole way through knowing how resentful I am to myself. And when you said: “Give yourself some grace”, I was finally able to take well deserved deep breath in. Thank you 🌱
I am 44 and from Dorset, UK. I have a lower back and neck degenerative condition in both areas, and the only way I can stay pain-free and mobile is by following Adrienne and her free home workouts. THANK YOU SO MUCH - these words are so full of hope and light because of the time and energy you give your community, which we benefit from for free. You truly are a very kind and generous soul. ❤
Hello everyone! Feeling very emotional as I embark once again on this 30 day journey with so many people! I think it’s important for me to share that it was you, Adriene and community, the biggest inspiration that drove me to seek yoga and movement more and more. And, from complete sickness and sedentary lifestyle ten years ago I became a yoga teacher last year❤. That comes to show the power of being here and now, practicing together, one day at a time! Thank you for doing this with me! ❤
Hi everyone I'm from the UK- the last half of 2023 was really difficult for me, I've never felt more depressed. But my intention for this practice is to stay consistent and reconnect with myself again and hopefully feel better physically and mentally by the end of January 🙏 Good luck to everyone practicing ❤️ Edit: thank you everyone for your kind comments it means the world ❤️
Helloo I’m also from the UK! I’ve been in a similar place, may we find peace through our daily practice and feel better by the end of the month, we’ve got this 😊❤
It's mid July...anyday can be day 1. I was on and off for 5 years because of school, work and relationships. There's no time I said, as I became grumpier, less compassionate, even hateful.... while my bones, muscles, and mind atrophied. I call my BS today through this practice and after reading many comments, realized we are not alone in starting again every day ❤ Thank you Adrienne for being the guide for so many....and blessed this community for showing up on day 1 every day ❤🙏🏽💪🏽🐢
Hey everyone from Brussels, Belgium! I've often tried and never been able to finish these 30-day challenges but I'm feeling more hopeful than ever about this one. Going through the comments and seeing everyone's support and positive energy made me tear up - looking forward to the journey!
I’m practicing today from my parent’s living room in Canada! I see some people in the comments who are having a hard time right now. I know this tradition has been a rock for me in past years when it was harder, I hope it can be that for them now. Sending strength to everyone 💚
Hello from Scotland 🏴 This is my 4th year doing 30 days of yoga in real time, and I'm so happy to be practising alongside all you lovely folks from around the world.
Hi everyone! Joining in from Kyiv, Ukraine, and very happy to be here! Yoga truly helps me to stay sane and connected to my body during the 2-year ongoing war in my country, which has been very stressful and emotionally exhausting. Many thanks to Adriene and to this beautiful community! May all of you have a peaceful day! 💙💛
Hello everyone. I’m practicing from Pennsylvania. I had two knee replacements over the past year so I struggled with some of the poses. But rather than letting it discourage me I just adapted and kept going. It felt great! So excited to be doing this with you all.
I had a total knee replacement of my right knee. I’ve been hesitant to try yoga since because some of the poses are hard. I feel encouraged after doing day 1 and I’m excited to keep going!🙏
Hi everyone! After having a baby last year this is the first time I’ve felt like I had the headspace to return to the mat. I’m wobblier and weaker than the last time I practiced but I’d like to try and use this time to practice kindness to myself. Excited to be here with you all!
Same here!!i have never completed the 30days journey last year as i found out i was pregnant 😊 i 'm coming back this year with a completely different body and mind but Adrienne will always be our safe place ❤
Hello! Yesterday I finished your first 30 day journey from 10 years ago I am now thrilled to be here. No it didn't take me ten years to complete!! I am a late starter and I can't believe at 59 have only just discovered the joy of Yoga. I look forward to these next thirty days and beyond! Thank you Adriene.
Namaste from Bangalore, India 😊. Thank you Adriene for being so gentle and generous 🙏🏻. Will join all the lovely YWA family on this journey to set the tone for 2024, good health and self love 🧘♀️❤
I have been doing yoga with you, Adriene for seven years now. I am now 78 years old. I just finished day one and it was awesomely amazing! I must admit, I took about a year off when my husband of 56 years passed away. But doing yoga with you has been one of the best things I ever found. I can’t believe my flexibility and my strong core. I also walk a minimum of 3 miles Almost every day. I live in MN and if it’s too cold, I ride my stationary bike.
Every day I come here sore, stiff, ready to take an OTC something. I follow the practice - and find myself beyond grateful for the gentle pain relief and peace of mind. Thank you! 🙏
Hello from the UK! This is my first time doing the 30 day challenge. Ngl at points during this I felt a bit sad, I wasn't expecting to feel so stiff and achey, but the intention that came to my head during this was to treat my body with kindness. I need to meet it where it's at and accept where it is rn. It's hard for me to slow down and take time for myself. Here's to 30 days of prioritising myself! You got this everyone. 💪
Somehow I was crying through the first part. Not because I struggled physically, or for some other me-reason. But I felt like those tears were “uniting with the world as it is” kind of tears. After doing this sequence I feel so at peace. Thank you Adriene and everyone in this supportive community! We’re here together ✨
thank you for sharing this - I cried in the beginning as well - felt like something came to the surface to release. Totally unexpected and just went with it.
Hi everyone, I’m 20 and practising in Scotland today! This is my sixth 30 day yoga challenge with Adriene and I’m so excited! Every year I forget how amazing I feel after I practise, so anyone struggling today just know this 30 day commitment is extremely rewarding. My intentions are to be grateful and present. ❤️
Happy anniversary to everybody who started their yoga practice with one of the 30 day series 🎉 It’s the fifth anniversary for myself and I can’t thank Adriene, Benji and the team enough for their beautiful work 🙏
Hi to everyone joining the journey! This is my 5th 30 day challenge, although only the 2nd which I'm doing according to schedule, but every time it's wonderful and amazing and for the first time, I decided to join the comment section as well :) I'm practicing in Munich, Germany and can't wait to start!!! Huge thanks to Adriene for this opportunity and the encouragement to share amongst the community!
Good morning from northern Finland (-29 degrees Celsius today)! I'm so happy to tag along again and be a part of this journey with all of you ❤ Kindhearted greetings from Annika
Hei Annika, greetings from Mauritius where it’s the same number for the temperature but with a + in front 😅 please send us some ice ❤ All the best for this amazing journey we have embarked on. Cheers
It's 7 am in Germany and I'm waiting for two hours already for the challenge to start :). Good morning to all the other Europeans here and good night to the Americans :)
Today marks the 6th year of spending my January with Adriene and I’m as grateful as ever. These 30-day journeys have seen me through mental health sink holes, physical health diagnoses, and a global pandemic and yet here I am, still showing up to the mat. Adriene, thank you for always reminding me that no matter what’s going on in my life or the world, the floor has always got my back. May 2024 be magical, loving, and fulfilling for us all. Namaste ❤️
January was a kind of hibernation month for me. Starting this journey on February 1 and giving myself grace for taking the time to give my body and soul rest when it needed it. I am truly grateful for Adriene for cultivating such an intentional space that encourages me to take the time to make space for my body every single day. I struggle with my mental health and being able to have this safe haven helps immensely. Have a blessed day, namaste.
Two reminders for anyone who might find them helpful: 1. Remember to check for unnecessary tension in your neck. 2. No one will come and ask you if you were able to do all the movements. It's your practice, not a test. These two have changed my own practice for so much better. A big hug to all the 10k people I did this session with, and to everyone joining, and especially to Adriene, Benji and the whole YWA crew! Thank you for making my January every year. 🧡
So true! I started with Bikram yoga in 1996 and had the benefit of many great teachers but still have to check for 'shoulder earrings' - hoisting your shoulders up too far. Her tip about imaging bringing your shoulder blades together is pure gold.
Hi everyone! I’m rooting for you all… this is my first 30 day journey and I couldn’t be more excited and grateful. I’m tuning in from san diego, ca. So much love and light 🌟✨💜
Hi my first one too on the 30 day journey, really enjoyed this. Been to San Diego once on my honeymoon 23 years ago. Still remember how lovely it was. Happy new year 🎉
I am back to this cycle for a second time. A long stretch without yoga has made me realize just how much this practice allowed my body to process all of its tensions and sensations, and today was a wonderful return.
Everyone who showed up for today's practice, I'm proud of you! It's no small thing to take the time for yourself and commit! Keep on going! 💝 I'm tuning in from Southern Finland, where it's -30 Celsius degrees (-22 Fahrenheit) at the moment. At least the weather's beautiful! 🥶😆🌬 In today's practice I caught a glimpse of what "find what feels good" really means and I realized that it might mean I don't to as many reps or go as fast as I could go, if I can do less with more awareness and with deeper breaths. Right after that wonderful realization came the thought that that is actually a great metaphor I need to integrate in my every day life. So if you're reading this and wandering what yoga might offer you, just keep on showing up and you'll never know what treasures you'll uncover! 💎
As I raised my hands up to my third eye it started pouring with rain outside (one of my favourite sounds ever) and I know it sounds cheesy but it really felt like the universe was laying the foundation for a fresh start 🌦️ love from rainy Wales to everyone participating! 🏴❣️x
And just like that...we are on our way and feeling amazing! There is NOTHING like this series, our beautiful guide, and this community! I already feel like I am reaping the benefits! Sending love to all of you from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA 💕
Hi everyone, I'm tuning in from California today. Normally I never comment as I assume it won't be read anyways, but for this journey, I'm commenting to keep myself accountable. Really struggled getting myself to start this video (only 30 mins left in the day), but I really needed this moment to focus in on my breathing and to remember my goals of not running away from myself anymore. The 25 minutes actually passed extremely quickly, and I'm excited to start my day tmrw with the next video!
I’m starting my journey today which is the eighth. It’s never too late. I’ve done another one of these 30 day flows and they are amazing. Keep up the good work.
Hi everyone, checking in from Prague, Czech Republic this afternoon. After a painful 2023 due to the loss of my 100 year old beloved grandmother, I am determined to go back to the mat to find purpose and joy again. Thank you Adriene for reminding me that for every ending there is a new beginning. Glad to be practicing with all of you out there and around the world.. Let's do this!
Hi from Chicoutimi, Quebec, Canada. I lost my grandmother too she was 97, on january 27th. It was the only member of my family that was still there for me. I am sad for your loss and then I say to myself, that I am not alone... I will think of you when I will do my 30 days of yoga with Adriene (flow) ! :)
Hey guys, I’m also practicing from Prague! Sorry for your loss, but I believe that time heals, I hope you’ll find peace soon. It’s so cool to see other people from Prague doing this 30 Day Yoga Journey as well.
Год назад+1
Hi, im currently based in prague too! so sorry for your loss, wish you a year full of peace and hope
Good morning everyone! So happy to be practicing with all of you from the beautiful island of Barbados. I will be doing the second half of this journey from Winnipeg in Canada. I did my first 30 day challenge 3 years ago during COVID and continued throughout the year by doing all the previous 30 day challenges. Since then I have been practicing Yoga With Adriene every single day and it has transformed my life. I will be turning 61 in a few weeks and have never felt healthier and stronger than I do now. Thank you Adriene and thank you to the whole community for supporting each other!
I just have to say, I was well into this yoga journey and it was doing me so well. But I live in Asheville NC and had to take a break and tend to my broken city and broken heart. I'm starting at the beginning of this series again and so grateful to be here.
According to the view count I had just over 6,000 people practicing alongside me this morning, and that gives me more motivation than I could ever explain! Let's get through this together, all you wonderful people out there ✨
That is fascinating! Could someone explain how I can see the view count? I am going to do this 30-day journey from Sweden, as I do every year. Adriene is the best!
I do this as well! I check how many views the video has, and after I practiced, I refresh the video for the new number. I just had a yoga class with around 4000 others. :)
Hello from Arlington, VA! I've had a very hard year. I lost my sweet mom unexpectedly and faced some other hard knocks, but I am hoping to find joy and wellness in 2024 - and Day 1with Adriane and Benji, and all of you, was a very good start. I really appreciate the authenticity and kindness in this community. I'm sending love and peace out into the universe and to all of you!
I'm sorry for your loss (I lost my mom in 2012 and I know it sucks), but I'm glad you're here. The pain will slowly slowly fade, but the love and memories won't. :)
Same with me. I lost my mother two months back. As time is passing by it is making me feel deeply sad even more knowing that I will not see her now. I lost many other relation I holded onto for so long. Everyday I feel deep sense of emptiness. If I don't take care of my thoughts my mind can go haywire. Prayers and meditation helps a bit I realized how much drown in miseries can human existence be.
Over 15,000 of us just practiced together. What a feeling. I encourage you to hit refresh at the end of your session and see how the views have gone up. You can truly feel the presence
Good morning! I'm a "strive to be healthy" Mom and teacher from Iowa who used to do all kinds of workouts, but since I reached the half century mark I deal with arthritic discs in my neck and upper spine (I think from a past car accident). Yoga is the only thing that doesn't cause pain and I've been doing Yoga with Adriene for a few years now. Glad to be a part of this January 2024 Flow journey! My One Word for this year is "Anchor"....in God's word, in my health, and in my family :)
Hi everyone, I am Dayu from Jakarta, Indonesia...I just started this journey on January 14th 🎉...celebrating the Day 1, with the hope that I can commit to this loving and warm journey with you all ❤
I'm so moved by everyone's comments. I think this is my third January with Adriene, and I am so excited and honored to be here. 2023 was such a tired year for me for many reasons. I'm looking forward to this month to build healthy routines, both for my body and mind.
this will be my second year doing the 30-day challenge. it totally helped me build healthy routines last year, which definitely helped me through challenges in 2023 too. i feel ya! congrats on starting your third year!
Just wanted to say to anyone also on this journey it’s okay if you skip a day or miss a day. I’ve missed days in the 30 day yoga journey before and I used to do two in one day to make up for it but now I just do one a day at my own pace and it feels so much better ❤️ Sending lots of love and support to everyone🫶🏼
Adriene said on the day 0 not to skip since it's a step by step process, so better to do a day off and prolonged the process. It made so much sense to me, we don't need to rush to finish with everyone, just do every step in our own rhythm 💜
I am in Cygnet (Tasmania, Australia). I do yoga with Adriene almost every morning. When my son visited me from Canada recently, we did it together. That was really special. Thank you so much for all the youtube videos, going way back. I love the older ones too. Such fun! ❤
Landed on my mat with 23,000 other lovely yogis to share in this journey together. I've been participating in Adriene's 30 day journeys since 2016. I look forward to the sense of community this practice offers. I also honor Adriene for sharing herself with all of us! ❤🕉🧘♀You bring light and love to a world that needs it so desperately. Adriene always seems to know what I need when I step on my mat. 🥰
I am a 72 year old woman from California living in Mexico. I used to be quite masterful at yoga, but I got Covid and then Long Covid for three years so I have to start as a beginner. I hope that will work for this class. Thank you so much, Valentina . It’s midnight here, so I’ll need to start tomorrow.
yay..I hope it helps. I have cfs and do the classes but just do what feels ok of them....I dont push. Just watching them and imagining doing them can help Ive found. Best wishes Valentina.
Hello, great to see your messages. I’m another on the ME/CFS journey of learning to stop pushing!! This seems a great place to practise gentleness and finding what feels good. I’ve followed along where I can and otherwise found my own alternatives lying on the floor. My young dog is starting to get the hang of not actively participating 😂. All the best to you, as Adrienne says, let’s do it our way 💪👍
Good morning everyone! I’ve returned to the mat today from North West, England, after a difficult year away. So glad to be back and focusing on caring for myself❤️
Greetings from a gloomy west mids! Welcome back to the mat! It’s been a difficult year for me too, but here’s to a year of healing m, self care and prioritising health ✨❄️✨
I am so proud of myself for getting on the mat today. I haven’t done yoga in at least a year and have been struggling with my weight. Today felt hard, but a good hard. I know that my body can be a lot more physically active and flexible if I just put in the time and effort. And today I put in the time and effort. ❤
Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor.
Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one?
Seek out the source which shines forever.

Happy Day 1. I love you all!! - Adriene ☺️

Thanks a lots by heart Respected Adrienne ❤
Thank you ❤🙏

Hi Adriene :)
At what Time we pratise on live
I have the flu, I'm in a foreign country, feeling depressed because I'm sick. There's no yoga mat and the floor is very hard tile. But I found a tablecloth to put down, and gently went through Day 1. It's remarkable how hopeful I feel now; that was a great energy changer. Thank you, Adrienne, and the YWA community!
Hope you feel better soon!! Greetings from Maria in Spain :)
Sending Love and hoping you feel better really soon!🙏🏽💪🏽❤️❤️
Get better. -tin from saudi
So proud of you and same!! Currently in Europe, visiting from the US, woke up with sore throat and a heavy head. No yoga mat. Using a bath towel. But guess what - WE SHOWED UP. Sending all the love and healing
Thank you for your comment! I've been having flu like symptoms for days and feeling really crummy, wasn't sure I was up to it but your comment motivated me and showed me I could do it anyway! Thank you
Shout out to everyone who is getting back to their yoga habit after time away, and realised in the first few minutes if this practice just how GOOD it feels - it can be so hard to make time to get on the mat, and then when you do, you feel your body uncrumpling and saying 'thank you!' and you never want to leave again - ! ❤
You read my mind! Exactly how I felt. 💜 so happy to be here!
Amen!❤
OMG This is exactly how i feel right now after doing this practice! couldn't say it better!
@@carlijngeukers5718 I have a joy jar that I’ve started and I put little love notes in there whenever I feel an immense moment of joy. Reading all those comments is one for the joy jar. I’m so thrilled for everyone and rooting for each and every one of you!🙏♥️
I could not have said this any better. You have put to words the exact way my body and soul feels upon finishing Day 1.❤
Hi Adriene! I’m a retired 71 year old from the San Francisco Bay Area, recently widowed from Cris who died from breast cancer April 10, 2022. Before she passed she was doing your videos. I recently got hooked on your 30 day challenges last year. I’ve been posting our daily sessions on Instagram and Facebook. They’ve helped me to stay focused through my grieving process. Thank you.
Hi Sir, I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm glad you showed up for this beautiful practice. I'm sure Cris is watching you and smiling from her beautiful place of rest. Namaste🙏
❤❤❤
I'm happy for you taking a positive look at your future after a great loss. I'm sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. My dad is going through the same thing after losing my mum at a similar time in 2022. I hope this yoga gives you some peace in your heart and a way to connect to Cris. ❤
So sorry for your loss! You're still connected to her through yoga ❤
Finally did day one on January 7th. Giving myself (and anyone else who needs or wants) permission to go at my own pace. So much love! Thank you, Adriene!
Nice message! Started today as I’m recovering from Covid 🙏
I‘m only starting today. I don‘t think I‘ll be able to do one every day, but I will do all 30 days, at a pace that works for me. Choosing my own flow:)
@@anne-mariev.3295 blessings and health to you! ❤️
@@lolathesinger8192 righteous! I am paused as I’m visiting my parents this week. But also trust myself to get back to it at my own pace when I get home. ❤️
me too - let's take our time together! @@lolathesinger8192
This comment section is the purest part of the internet with so much love and warmth and support! Thank you for cultivating this community, Adriene!
I was just thinking the same thing! I love how kind and positive and full of light and love these comments sections always are 😊 I guess it’s hard to be in a bad mood after a good yoga flow haha
I totally agree ❤ what a loving community Adrienne and Benji have built 🙏
Every year !!! What a gift we have and all the past memories. My year 9 and I feel so fortunate.
Anytime I'm done with a YWA video I always take a few minutes to check the comment section, simply because this community is so precious, diverse and loving. It's really such a treat, especially in January. I also love checking the view count before I press play and then check it again after I'm done. Today I practiced along with approximately 10,000 others. What a joy. Greetings from south of Sweden 💖
It really is a most wonderful thing to be part of. Have a beautiful day 🙏
Sending love and light!
Oh I love doing this too. It's like a ritual after shavasana. I'm everytime astonished how lovely this community is.
Greetings back from Germany.
Greetings and happy new year from Finland! :)
I also check the view count before and after approx. 10,000 for me too. Greetings from the UK
I’m 74 and have been trying to recover from long Covid for 2 years and 2 months…as the time increases, it’s been hard to keep my spirits up. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to do this today, but gratefully the practice met me where I was at, and I feel hopeful. Thanks to Adrienne and this community…all of your comments are precious to read.
hoping this year is better for you xx
You have my admiration! Good luck!
How lovely that you can join in gentle, healthful movement... And how lovely for us to be sharing this experience with you.
Sometimes it’s not about the outcome of doing the practice, but the journey we take when we set the intention, acknowledge it, and do it another day. Cheers to you and sending much love!
I'm so sorry to read this. I first started doing Yoga with Adriene when I had long Covid. For me the fatigue lasted nearly a year but I was one of the lucky ones who did get better...I really hope 2024 brings improvements for you. It is a horrible illness.
My love and empathy for all of us who practice and support each other during grief and war. Love to you/us as we human on.🎉
Congratulations to everyone who showed up for day 1! It's going to be a great 30 days!
Hello everyone, This is coming to you from Wisconsin. I love the chance to start this journey on day 1 with everyone. I'm a 62 yr old widow. My husband passed away in 2019 of brain cancer. He built a yoga room to help calm his brain with meditation. I have been using this space doing yoga with Adriene. everyday for the last 4 yrs. I have become stronger and more centered in my mind and body. Thank you Adriene for transforming my life with yoga.
Hi Debbie, I am from Milwaukee, Shorewood really. I now live in Cary, NC. I love connecting with my fellow Cheeseheads. I am very happy we can share yoga together❤️
Hi Debbie, fellow Wisconsinite here! I just started a yoga practice last year thanks to Adriene's videos and I always look forward to my time on the mat. ❤
Hi Debbie! I'm also from WI, just outside of Madison. Happy to be here with everyone.
I’m in Racine county, WI! 🎉. Love these YWA journeys!
@@lindajenkins3950 I am in Madison too!
It’s 4:47am here in Yorkshire, UK. Adriene, I’ve been with you since your first video, and I’m still with you now Lass. You’re a gem, we love you to bits! Love to all my fellow yogis - cannot wait to see where we all end up in 30 days. Love & Light ❤
I just got all my recent angel numbers reading your comment. I'm in Yorkshire, too ☺️🙏🏻💗

Love and light to you.
Hello from Derbyshire! It's 7:10am and I've just finished. Wishing you a lovely day x
The UK Posse in full flow here!! Just finished my session here in sunny Essex. Have a lovely day. 💙
It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one who lost January; it’s never too late to start!🎉
Never too late! I started today!
Started today :)
I am starting tomorrow morning 😊
@@HeyOlive239 🎉👏🙌
I'm starting now.
My 2024 has been off to a rough start emotionally. I find myself in a lot of pain, worry, and preoccupation. I also find myself here, caring for that worried mind and tense body alongside hundreds of thousands of other people. I am so proud of myself for showing up this morning. I am so proud of you all too.
I'm right there with you. Trying to show myself love and support, one day at a time.
I feel you. So good you look after yourself
You got this. Sending lots of good vibes your way.
I am the same as you, there is currently no one around me right now friends, family, housemates and so I felt alone and anxious but this helped me calm down so much sending love
I had a recent deeply painful loss and did this practice through tears. I hope to keep coming back to dedicate this practice to my loved one and find some peace. Sending love to you all out there, give your loved ones a big hug.
Sending you so much love and peace
Sending you comfort and healing ❤🩹
Me too. . . Let’s find peace together.
❤️
Hugs to you. I hope you find peace and calm in yoga and knowing we all care. ❤️
I’m from Iran. I cannot explain with word how much I was missing for doing yoga with Adrien. Her challenge are really magic. The whole day of my life become full of positive energy after doing yoga. I was a little angry today. But when I finished day 1 it is disappearing. It’s yoga magic.🧘🏻♀️💚🙏🏼thanks dear Adrien.
It is magic for sure!! It connects us all together no matter where we live.
You said, "Set an intention." I said, "I will be better." Then you said, "Imagine it to already be true," and I said, "I am better." It blew me away! I realized how far I've come! Ty!! ❤
Hello beautiful people. I don’t even know how many years I’ve been doing this journey with Adriene, but here I am again. I’ve had a rough couple of years as my brother passed suddenly from a very aggressive colon cancer and I didn’t realize I was grieving until a couple of months ago. I lost interest in so many things and one of those things was my health. I packed on the pounds as I gave up caring about movement and healthy eating. But, now that I realize this, I can do better. So, here I am. Back on my mat. Struggling to take those cleansing deep breaths and barely making it through each movement. But, I’m here. Thank you for ALWAYS showing up, Adriene, and giving us the gentle reminder to find what feels good even while moving through grief, pain, and struggle. My intention for this practice is attention. Attention to my breath. Attention to the movement. Attention to continue moving through my grief. And attention to myself.
I am moving through a grief cycle, too, with similar repercussions to my health and well-being… and this is a chance for me to reconnect with myself and begin to make healthier choices, as acts of self-care. Just wanted to reach out and say my heart goes out to you in your grief. Thank you for sharing your story-it inspires me and gives me motivation to continue. So glad you are here!
Sorry to hear about your brother, sending all the healing vibes your way 😊
Sending love and peace. 🕊️
Sending you hugs and healing on your journey through the grief. I also lost my brother [40 years ago] and despite the many years, that loss will always be a part of me. I know that self care is a huge part of the healing. Good for you taking the steps to love yourself, and allowing your emotions to flow through this challenging time. May this FLOW practice bring you inner calm. Namaste.
I'm sorry for your loss 🤍
Mōrena tātou (good morning everyone) from Christchurch, New Zealand ❤️ I’ve been undergoing breast cancer treatment this year and after todays’s practice it feels like I’m finally coming home to myself. I feel good! Thank you Adrienne, and thank you to all the beautiful souls practicing alongside me ❤ have a lovely day.
From one Breast Cancer Survivor to another ..... keep going amazing warrior ...... you are strong, positive, and powerful. Xxx
Kia ora and love from Clyde!
Morena, also practicing from Christchurch 😊 Wishing you awhi on this journey. What a beautiful way to start our year. Ngā mihi mahana.
Kia Ora from the North Island
Kia ora and wishing the new year is filled with much healing and health for you. I was recently in your beautiful town introducing YWA to a lovely friend there who is also joining this 30 days. So beautiful how the community spans the globe and interconnects us.
My youngest brother and I have been doing yoga with Adrienne for almost 4 years now. He is in Charleston, SC and I am in North Georgia mountains. We text each other almost every day with a picture of the calendar checked off that we completed the session. It’s been a wonderful and warm way to stay in touch and keep each other on track. We’ve even saved calendars from last months and years with all of our notes. We look forward to the next session. Thank you for making this available. 🎉. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2024!
Started today April 1, 2024. I haven’t practiced much yoga in the last 6 years so happy to try this. Thank you 💛
April 1st here we go 🎉
I've been scrolling through the comments after completing day one of Flow. I can't read all 5,500+ comments but what I've scrolled through has brought a bit of a tear to an eye. A happy tear. The outpouring of generosity and caring in these comments is so wonderful. Excited to be on this journey with you all, no matter how many you wind up doing. This is my 3rd time doing 30 Days.
I have a habit of always reading the comments after I finish that day's practice--it truly adds another dimension of awe to see how this impacts such a broad community!
I'm in the same place right now, been crying non stop for like 5 minutes. We're all going through our own struggles, and it's amazing to share this experience that's helping us all cope with it all. It's my 9th year doing these 30 day challenges and it's always so grounding, and humbling to read through the comments. Good luck to us all through this journey. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.
The fact that I practised with 19k people today is so encouraging. Happy day 1 everyone!
460,000 people!!!!!!
@@HollyBynoe woww so cool!
Hi everyone, I am practicing from Sydney Australia and have done all the 30 days of Yoga since Adrienne started. My daughter got me onto you Adrienne! July 2023 I had a cardiac arrest and was resuscitated thankfully by an amazing man working out next to me at the gym. I am all clear now, know what my heart condition is and so happy that I am still around and I can do another 30 days of Yoga. My intention is to prioritise ME and carve the time for daily practice. ❤
G'Day! I'll be on the other side of the world, but right there with you! Cheers to you.
I’ve had horrible mental health recently, gained some extra pounds and haven’t been taking care of myself - I was a bit wobbly at times but so proud that I’ve started this journey! Thank you Adriene for making your videos so calm and inviting - it doesn’t even feel like I’m exercising even though I’m hot and sweaty afterwards 😂🥰
Hello from Serbia! I am 62 young and happy to be part of this amazing comunity that I am part of for 6 years.
Thank you❤
I was airlifted to an ICU across the country this year because I was dying. Yesterday marked 2 months back home. I am honored to be alive and here. Thank you, Adriene and Benji and co. Ready to flow.
Congrats of being alive! :D Love from Vancouver!
so happy for you! I brushed death twice , septic shock. Sending love, hugs of comfort.
Wow, you've had quite a journey. Congrats on being back home.
WoW! Let's celebrate 🎉 Life together, even when oceans separate our bodies. Congratz!🎉🎉🎉
Happy for you! I’m on the same boat. I never want to see a hospital again..
How terrible & AWESOME at the same time it is that we are here practicing yoga!
Sending strength & good health your way!
Thank you Adriene!❤
hello to the 22k friends who practised with me from windy and wet England! Struggled a bit in this one after a bumpy health & work year in 2023, but had a little cry and picked myself up again. My intention is acceptance (and to try and complete all days this year, even if it takes a little longer!)
Welcome England!💗
It’s been a while Adriene. My beautiful baby boy was stillborn on 15th November 2023. My world is forever changed by his absence. But today a rainbow shone in on my carpet before I laid down my yoga mat, and everything felt a little bit lighter. Freddie was with me as I returned to practice today 💛
Hugs. I shed a few tears and thought about you today while doing this yoga session. ❤
❤
@@shapnakumar9808 that is so kind, thank you so much 💛
How heartbreaking. So sorry to read this. But glad you're able to find some peace as you grieve.
I’m so sorry. Proud of you for showing up ❤️
Hello everyone from Bucharest, Romania. I had taken 3 months break after losing my mom last year. It's feels comforting to be back on the mat. Thank you to the 8k + people who practiced with me today 😊
I also lost my mom last year and have come back to the mat of the 30-day challenge. Sending you healing love and energy.
I also lost my mom this year. Sending my love to both of you. Yoga with Adienne is the only one keeping me together. Thanks Adrienne!
Great first day!
I lost my Mom last year as well. I have tried to get back to the mat, but this year has been too difficult. I’m joining the 30 challenge to help heal and get back to a regular practice. Much peace and love to all who are struggling. ❤
Hello everyone from Cork, Ireland!
I am generally very shy when it comes to online commenting, but just wanted to say a huge thank you to Adriene, Benji 🐶, and this community for having an opportunity to practice in such holistic, loving way. This channel is the reason I got so hooked on yoga like no other exercise, as it's my number 1 remedy for my health anxiety. I'm your avid fan for the fourth year, and this year I have set myself an intention to learn more about yoga practice and show up on the mat more regularly. Thank you very much, Adriene, for everything that you do ❤
Happy Day 1 everyone!! I’m a ballet dancer who just finished a gruelling run of the nutcracker so honouring and healing my body is my intention for this month. Yoga with Adriene has always been my “apology” to a body that I often have to push past its limits at my job. Much happiness to everyone practicing!
I've always wanted to do ballet! I hope your performance was everything you hoped it'd be 🤍 and enjoy tending to your body!
I like this notion of this being your "apology" to your body. :)
Oh, I remember those days! Congrats on wrapping up another year of Nutcracker. While things might feel crunchy and overworked at the moment, years from now those will be dear memories.
Hello everyone! I'm here, nearly 3 months after birth of my second child and I m sooooo happy to be back on the mat ! I missed you a lot, adrienne! My mind&body. Thank you for your work and hi to benji ! Let s flow it ! 💪

But 4 hours after strike the electricity is back in my house and the first thing I do is our 30 Days of Yoga. I am happy and greatefull to be alive and I hope everyone can find peace, If not outside, at least inside. Thank You!
I wish peace and safety for you and your country.
Sending love and peace to you and your loved ones.
Sending you love.

Sending you peace and a great yoga journey
Feeling sweetly emotional and very much not alone as I scroll through the comments, seeing that so many of us are breathing together. This is my first time following Adriene's Yoga Journey at the beginning of the year, and what a healing experience it is already turning out to be. I am honored to be moving with all of you, how special. Thank you Adriene! ♥
❤
Welcome! It’s an amazing place to be!
Hi Madison, I also got emotional at the end of day 1! This community is such a joy to be a part of.
Madison, you're definitely not the only one who is sweetly emotional! This community is so lovely to be a part of
Hey! I like to look at the number of views before you start and after you finish, and you’ll see how many people you did the practice together with ❤
This comment section solidifies what I love about Adrienne’s 30-day challenges: everyone practicing in their own time yet still together. This isn’t my first 30 day challenge but it’s been a while since I got on the mat, so I made sure to listen to my body and take breaks when I needed. Cheers to everyone on this journey!
I'm right here with you! Grateful to be back practicing with you!
I’ve started the journey today- with February. It’s my second year. 🌼 I’ve cried whole way through knowing how resentful I am to myself. And when you said: “Give yourself some grace”, I was finally able to take well deserved deep breath in. Thank you 🌱
Amen to that
I'm starting my journey today also... let's get it.
@@johnukno4994 thank you for your words. 😊 Yes, let's get it!
I'm starting today too! February will be a good month, I feel it! It's my 4th year

I am 44 and from Dorset, UK. I have a lower back and neck degenerative condition in both areas, and the only way I can stay pain-free and mobile is by following Adrienne and her free home workouts. THANK YOU SO MUCH - these words are so full of hope and light because of the time and energy you give your community, which we benefit from for free. You truly are a very kind and generous soul. ❤
It wouldn't be January without Adriene and Benji! Much love to both of you!
Love the practice. Let's start the journey in June ❤
Almost 12 thousand of us just practised at the same time!! What a joy to be part of this community. Happy Flowing, everyone!
Hello everyone! Feeling very emotional as I embark once again on this 30 day journey with so many people! I think it’s important for me to share that it was you, Adriene and community, the biggest inspiration that drove me to seek yoga and movement more and more. And, from complete sickness and sedentary lifestyle ten years ago I became a yoga teacher last year❤. That comes to show the power of being here and now, practicing together, one day at a time! Thank you for doing this with me! ❤
Congrats on your journey!
Hi everyone I'm from the UK- the last half of 2023 was really difficult for me, I've never felt more depressed. But my intention for this practice is to stay consistent and reconnect with myself again and hopefully feel better physically and mentally by the end of January 🙏 Good luck to everyone practicing ❤️
Edit: thank you everyone for your kind comments it means the world ❤️
So glad that you're here! 😄
Helloo I’m also from the UK! I’ve been in a similar place, may we find peace through our daily practice and feel better by the end of the month, we’ve got this 😊❤
With you on that! Good luck x
Same. Am trying to remember not to put pressure on myself to 'heal' , hopefully we can all ease ourselves gently through this first month x
We're all on the same dizzy boat and we're getting out of it togethwr ❤
It's mid July...anyday can be day 1. I was on and off for 5 years because of school, work and relationships. There's no time I said, as I became grumpier, less compassionate, even hateful.... while my bones, muscles, and mind atrophied. I call my BS today through this practice and after reading many comments, realized we are not alone in starting again every day ❤ Thank you Adrienne for being the guide for so many....and blessed this community for showing up on day 1 every day ❤🙏🏽💪🏽🐢
also starting in july, you got this
It is so great to be here again. Thank you very much Adriene. Let's flow. Éva (71 years old) from Hungary
Hey everyone from Brussels, Belgium! I've often tried and never been able to finish these 30-day challenges but I'm feeling more hopeful than ever about this one. Going through the comments and seeing everyone's support and positive energy made me tear up - looking forward to the journey!
Hé, bien le bonjour d'une compatriote peut-être? Je suis en Angleterre, mais finirai la dernière semaine à 30 kms de Bxl!
Good luck! You can do it! This year is the year ❤️❤️
Hello! I haven't completed a series either. This is the year we do it!!!
Same here, been trying since 2018. Let's do this!!
Last year was my first time doing it without missing a day. I know you've got this!
I’m practicing today from my parent’s living room in Canada! I see some people in the comments who are having a hard time right now. I know this tradition has been a rock for me in past years when it was harder, I hope it can be that for them now. Sending strength to everyone 💚
Me too! Always helps me start the year with beautiful intention!
I was crying doing the day 30 finale. Thank you Adriene! I had an amazing moments with you. 🥰
Hello from Scotland 🏴 This is my 4th year doing 30 days of yoga in real time, and I'm so happy to be practising alongside all you lovely folks from around the world.
Hi everyone! Joining in from Kyiv, Ukraine, and very happy to be here!

Hello everyone. I’m practicing from Pennsylvania. I had two knee replacements over the past year so I struggled with some of the poses. But rather than letting it discourage me I just adapted and kept going. It felt great! So excited to be doing this with you all.
I had a total knee replacement of my right knee. I’ve been hesitant to try yoga since because some of the poses are hard. I feel encouraged after doing day 1 and I’m excited to keep going!🙏
Almost teared up hearing Adrienne's voice for another 30 day January journey. So grateful to do this again this year from Illinois :)
Hi everyone! After having a baby last year this is the first time I’ve felt like I had the headspace to return to the mat. I’m wobblier and weaker than the last time I practiced but I’d like to try and use this time to practice kindness to myself. Excited to be here with you all!
❤!!!
Same here!!i have never completed the 30days journey last year as i found out i was pregnant 😊 i 'm coming back this year with a completely different body and mind but Adrienne will always be our safe place ❤
Me too! You’re doing great, mama!
Almost the same here, practicing in Germany! Baby is sound asleep and focussing my attention on myself and my body again felt so good!
Hello! Yesterday I finished your first 30 day journey from 10 years ago I am now thrilled to be here. No it didn't take me ten years to complete!! I am a late starter and I can't believe at 59 have only just discovered the joy of Yoga. I look forward to these next thirty days and beyond! Thank you Adriene.
Namaste from Bangalore, India 😊. Thank you Adriene for being so gentle and generous 🙏🏻. Will join all the lovely YWA family on this journey to set the tone for 2024, good health and self love 🧘♀️❤
I have been doing yoga with you, Adriene for seven years now. I am now 78 years old. I just finished day one and it was awesomely amazing! I must admit, I took about a year off when my husband of 56 years passed away. But doing yoga with you has been one of the best things I ever found. I can’t believe my flexibility and my strong core. I also walk a minimum of 3 miles Almost every day. I live in MN and if it’s too cold, I ride my stationary bike.
This may be my favourite Day 1 ever. Thank you, Adriene and Benji. And to my extended yoga fam. (That includes you! Who is reading this comment!)
Me from MI!
Thank-you so much for your including me as your exstended yoga family! Today is my first day, in a LONG time. I loved it!
Every day I come here sore, stiff, ready to take an OTC something. I follow the practice - and find myself beyond grateful for the gentle pain relief and peace of mind. Thank you! 🙏
Hello from the UK! This is my first time doing the 30 day challenge. Ngl at points during this I felt a bit sad, I wasn't expecting to feel so stiff and achey, but the intention that came to my head during this was to treat my body with kindness. I need to meet it where it's at and accept where it is rn. It's hard for me to slow down and take time for myself. Here's to 30 days of prioritising myself! You got this everyone. 💪
Hello from Scotland! Love that these vids drop so early for those of us in other time zones.
Somehow I was crying through the first part. Not because I struggled physically, or for some other me-reason. But I felt like those tears were “uniting with the world as it is” kind of tears. After doing this sequence I feel so at peace. Thank you Adriene and everyone in this supportive community! We’re here together ✨
Thanks for sharing! You encouraged me.
thank you for sharing this - I cried in the beginning as well - felt like something came to the surface to release. Totally unexpected and just went with it.
Hi everyone, I’m 20 and practising in Scotland today! This is my sixth 30 day yoga challenge with Adriene and I’m so excited! Every year I forget how amazing I feel after I practise, so anyone struggling today just know this 30 day commitment is extremely rewarding. My intentions are to be grateful and present. ❤️
Girl, well done you, i am 19 and doing flow, it’s so nice to know someone my age is doing yoga too🩵
After this year's 8 days, time to get back to the habit with new rerun of Flow ❤
same!!! :D
Happy anniversary to everybody who started their yoga practice with one of the 30 day series 🎉
It’s the fifth anniversary for myself and I can’t thank Adriene, Benji and the team enough for their beautiful work 🙏
Hi to everyone joining the journey! This is my 5th 30 day challenge, although only the 2nd which I'm doing according to schedule, but every time it's wonderful and amazing and for the first time, I decided to join the comment section as well :) I'm practicing in Munich, Germany and can't wait to start!!! Huge thanks to Adriene for this opportunity and the encouragement to share amongst the community!
I’m right there with you! Glad to be officially joining the challenge and the community here 😊
Good morning from northern Finland (-29 degrees Celsius today)! I'm so happy to tag along again and be a part of this journey with all of you ❤ Kindhearted greetings from Annika
Fellow Finn joining in! Nice to be here.
Hei Annika, greetings from Mauritius where it’s the same number for the temperature but with a + in front 😅 please send us some ice ❤ All the best for this amazing journey we have embarked on. Cheers
It's 7 am in Germany and I'm waiting for two hours already for the challenge to start :). Good morning to all the other Europeans here and good night to the Americans :)
Today marks the 6th year of spending my January with Adriene and I’m as grateful as ever. These 30-day journeys have seen me through mental health sink holes, physical health diagnoses, and a global pandemic and yet here I am, still showing up to the mat. Adriene, thank you for always reminding me that no matter what’s going on in my life or the world, the floor has always got my back. May 2024 be magical, loving, and fulfilling for us all. Namaste ❤️
January was a kind of hibernation month for me. Starting this journey on February 1 and giving myself grace for taking the time to give my body and soul rest when it needed it. I am truly grateful for Adriene for cultivating such an intentional space that encourages me to take the time to make space for my body every single day. I struggle with my mental health and being able to have this safe haven helps immensely. Have a blessed day, namaste.
Same here, started just now, first time to attempt the series it’s good! best of luck with it, better late than never!
@@eamonn9882 awesome, good job!! Maybe I’ll see you on tomorrow’s video too!
Two reminders for anyone who might find them helpful:
1. Remember to check for unnecessary tension in your neck.
2. No one will come and ask you if you were able to do all the movements. It's your practice, not a test.
These two have changed my own practice for so much better. A big hug to all the 10k people I did this session with, and to everyone joining, and especially to Adriene, Benji and the whole YWA crew! Thank you for making my January every year. 🧡
Wondeful your advice! Thank you!
So true! I started with Bikram yoga in 1996 and had the benefit of many great teachers but still have to check for 'shoulder earrings' - hoisting your shoulders up too far. Her tip about imaging bringing your shoulder blades together is pure gold.
Hi everyone! I’m rooting for you all… this is my first 30 day journey and I couldn’t be more excited and grateful. I’m tuning in from san diego, ca.
So much love and light 🌟✨💜
Welcome!! These have become a beautiful way to start the new year for many of us. Enjoy and much love from Vermont!
Welcome!
❤
Hi my first one too on the 30 day journey, really enjoyed this. Been to San Diego once on my honeymoon 23 years ago. Still remember how lovely it was. Happy new year 🎉
@@valeriefrankcom5463 aww happy new year to you, too! Happy journey too! 🧘♀️ 🙏♥️
Thank you to everyone who shared their practice with me today ❤️
I am back to this cycle for a second time. A long stretch without yoga has made me realize just how much this practice allowed my body to process all of its tensions and sensations, and today was a wonderful return.
Everyone who showed up for today's practice, I'm proud of you! It's no small thing to take the time for yourself and commit! Keep on going! 💝
I'm tuning in from Southern Finland, where it's -30 Celsius degrees (-22 Fahrenheit) at the moment. At least the weather's beautiful!
🥶😆🌬
In today's practice I caught a glimpse of what "find what feels good" really means and I realized that it might mean I don't to as many reps or go as fast as I could go, if I can do less with more awareness and with deeper breaths. Right after that wonderful realization came the thought that that is actually a great metaphor I need to integrate in my every day life. So if you're reading this and wandering what yoga might offer you, just keep on showing up and you'll never know what treasures you'll uncover! 💎
As I raised my hands up to my third eye it started pouring with rain outside (one of my favourite sounds ever) and I know it sounds cheesy but it really felt like the universe was laying the foundation for a fresh start 🌦️ love from rainy Wales to everyone participating! 🏴❣️x
And just like that...we are on our way and feeling amazing! There is NOTHING like this series, our beautiful guide, and this community! I already feel like I am reaping the benefits! Sending love to all of you from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA 💕
Hey fellow Mainer! I’m here too!
I couldn't agree more. I love finding my way back to the mat and YWA time and time again. Big wave to you, neighbor, from York, Maine xo
@@Nia435 Hello to you, fellow Mainer!! xo
Hi everyone, I'm tuning in from California today. Normally I never comment as I assume it won't be read anyways, but for this journey, I'm commenting to keep myself accountable. Really struggled getting myself to start this video (only 30 mins left in the day), but I really needed this moment to focus in on my breathing and to remember my goals of not running away from myself anymore. The 25 minutes actually passed extremely quickly, and I'm excited to start my day tmrw with the next video!
I'm behind but I plan to catch up and I have forgiven myself already! Have a great day everyone!
I just completed day one, five days late. I am hoping to get on track and hold myself accountable too.
@@carriewalsh-hilf2944it’s never to late to start something that make us feel happy, in peace and more things. I just started today 😉
I’m starting my journey today which is the eighth. It’s never too late. I’ve done another one of these 30 day flows and they are amazing. Keep up the good work.
To not running away from ourselves anymore... a big challenge, but together we can.
Hi everyone, checking in from Prague, Czech Republic this afternoon. After a painful 2023 due to the loss of my 100 year old beloved grandmother, I am determined to go back to the mat to find purpose and joy again. Thank you Adriene for reminding me that for every ending there is a new beginning. Glad to be practicing with all of you out there and around the world.. Let's do this!
Hi from Chicoutimi, Quebec, Canada. I lost my grandmother too she was 97, on january 27th. It was the only member of my family that was still there for me. I am sad for your loss and then I say to myself, that I am not alone... I will think of you when I will do my 30 days of yoga with Adriene (flow) ! :)
Hi (ahoj), I'm also from Prague! So sorry for your loss and good luck on your journey.
Hey guys, I’m also practicing from Prague! Sorry for your loss, but I believe that time heals, I hope you’ll find peace soon. It’s so cool to see other people from Prague doing this 30 Day Yoga Journey as well.
Hi, im currently based in prague too! so sorry for your loss, wish you a year full of peace and hope
Not from Prague, but hope to visit someday. So sorry for your loss. How blessed you are to have her in your life for so long. ❤️
Good morning everyone! So happy to be practicing with all of you from the beautiful island of Barbados. I will be doing the second half of this journey from Winnipeg in Canada. I did my first 30 day challenge 3 years ago during COVID and continued throughout the year by doing all the previous 30 day challenges. Since then I have been practicing Yoga With Adriene every single day and it has transformed my life. I will be turning 61 in a few weeks and have never felt healthier and stronger than I do now. Thank you Adriene and thank you to the whole community for supporting each other!
I just have to say, I was well into this yoga journey and it was doing me so well. But I live in Asheville NC and had to take a break and tend to my broken city and broken heart. I'm starting at the beginning of this series again and so grateful to be here.
According to the view count I had just over 6,000 people practicing alongside me this morning, and that gives me more motivation than I could ever explain! Let's get through this together, all you wonderful people out there ✨
After 1.5 hours in, the views are at 11K!!
Practising from Athens, Greece! I also just saw it seems there were 6000 people practising this last 30 min! Hard to get your head around!
That is fascinating! Could someone explain how I can see the view count? I am going to do this 30-day journey from Sweden, as I do every year. Adriene is the best!
I do this as well! I check how many views the video has, and after I practiced, I refresh the video for the new number. I just had a yoga class with around 4000 others. :)
My heart is overflowing with gratitude… this is so wonderful 🙏 ♥️✨
11 000 people practiced alongside me this morning! I hope you all are having a lovely day!
how do you know?😄
By checking the viewcounter before and after the practice@@sylvanaoktavia920
Am asking this as well. How do you tell?
Check the views before and then after you practice ☺️
@@brookewerner6448
oh, thanks!
Checking in from the Netherlands. Two middle aged people with very stiff joints, but we did day 1!💪🏻💪🏻 You are our daily motivation in 2024❤
Thanks, Namaste everyone ❤❤❤
Hello from Arlington, VA! I've had a very hard year. I lost my sweet mom unexpectedly and faced some other hard knocks, but I am hoping to find joy and wellness in 2024 - and Day 1with Adriane and Benji, and all of you, was a very good start. I really appreciate the authenticity and kindness in this community. I'm sending love and peace out into the universe and to all of you!
My condolences for your mother. I'm sending peace and love right back at you. Stay well!
I'm sorry for your loss (I lost my mom in 2012 and I know it sucks), but I'm glad you're here. The pain will slowly slowly fade, but the love and memories won't. :)
Sending love from over here in Herndon 😽
Same with me. I lost my mother two months back. As time is passing by it is making me feel deeply sad even more knowing that I will not see her now. I lost many other relation I holded onto for so long. Everyday I feel deep sense of emptiness. If I don't take care of my thoughts my mind can go haywire. Prayers and meditation helps a bit
I realized how much drown in miseries can human existence be.
Over 15,000 of us just practiced together. What a feeling. I encourage you to hit refresh at the end of your session and see how the views have gone up. You can truly feel the presence
what a good idea! I did it & ca 1000 people had viewed/done it with me :) Thank you Adriene!
Good morning! I'm a "strive to be healthy" Mom and teacher from Iowa who used to do all kinds of workouts, but since I reached the half century mark I deal with arthritic discs in my neck and upper spine (I think from a past car accident). Yoga is the only thing that doesn't cause pain and I've been doing Yoga with Adriene for a few years now. Glad to be a part of this January 2024 Flow journey! My One Word for this year is "Anchor"....in God's word, in my health, and in my family :)
I like the synergy of your word with mine: "Presence"
Anchor is a really good one, definitely putting that one in the filing cabinet 🤔
Hi everyone, I am Dayu from Jakarta, Indonesia...I just started this journey on January 14th 🎉...celebrating the Day 1, with the hope that I can commit to this loving and warm journey with you all ❤
I'm with you 🧘 my Day 1 as well , from Trondheim, Norway ❤
I'm so moved by everyone's comments. I think this is my third January with Adriene, and I am so excited and honored to be here. 2023 was such a tired year for me for many reasons. I'm looking forward to this month to build healthy routines, both for my body and mind.
❤❤❤
this will be my second year doing the 30-day challenge. it totally helped me build healthy routines last year, which definitely helped me through challenges in 2023 too. i feel ya! congrats on starting your third year!
Just wanted to say to anyone also on this journey it’s okay if you skip a day or miss a day. I’ve missed days in the 30 day yoga journey before and I used to do two in one day to make up for it but now I just do one a day at my own pace and it feels so much better ❤️ Sending lots of love and support to everyone🫶🏼
Adriene said on the day 0 not to skip since it's a step by step process, so better to do a day off and prolonged the process. It made so much sense to me, we don't need to rush to finish with everyone, just do every step in our own rhythm 💜
I did that too.. today is my day one and I'm happy to take my time this time around.
Such dignified placements of the soul and body guided by the mystic Rumi and the yogi Adriene. Many thanks. Peace.
love this. I'm 6 days behind and was almost going to do more classes to catch up. ❤
I just did day 1. I don’t expect myself to be done 30 days from now. I do trust myself to keep going though.
I am in Cygnet (Tasmania, Australia). I do yoga with Adriene almost every morning. When my son visited me from Canada recently, we did it together. That was really special. Thank you so much for all the youtube videos, going way back. I love the older ones too. Such fun! ❤
Day 1 done ✅ Thank you dear Adriene. It was amazing. ❤️
Landed on my mat with 23,000 other lovely yogis to share in this journey together. I've been participating in Adriene's 30 day journeys since 2016. I look forward to the sense of community this practice offers. I also honor Adriene for sharing herself with all of us! ❤🕉🧘♀You bring light and love to a world that needs it so desperately. Adriene always seems to know what I need when I step on my mat. 🥰
I woke up feeling I might not have the energy for this today, but Adriene’s gentle encouragement got me through. 😊 ❤️ Thank you!
I am a 72 year old woman from California living in Mexico. I used to be quite masterful at yoga, but I got Covid and then Long Covid for three years so I have to start as a beginner. I hope that will work for this class. Thank you so much, Valentina . It’s midnight here, so I’ll need to start tomorrow.
yay..I hope it helps. I have cfs and do the classes but just do what feels ok of them....I dont push. Just watching them and imagining doing them can help Ive found. Best wishes Valentina.
Hope you will be feeling better soon, Valentina! Greetings to Mexico!
I am near the same age and also live in Mexico. Longtime yogini.
Hello, great to see your messages. I’m another on the ME/CFS journey of learning to stop pushing!! This seems a great place to practise gentleness and finding what feels good. I’ve followed along where I can and otherwise found my own alternatives lying on the floor. My young dog is starting to get the hang of not actively participating 😂. All the best to you, as Adrienne says, let’s do it our way 💪👍
I have long Covid too and it's been hard to do anything, so I decided just to show up and go from there ❤ lots of love from the Netherlands
Today is my Day 1 and this is the first time I do online yoga with instructions in English. I felt connected to your energy level. Thank you 🙏❤
In my call room at the hospital. Hoping to bring my best self forward for my students and my patients today. Thank you Adriene and the community
Good morning everyone! I’ve returned to the mat today from North West, England, after a difficult year away. So glad to be back and focusing on caring for myself❤️
Greetings from a gloomy west mids! Welcome back to the mat! It’s been a difficult year for me too, but here’s to a year of healing m, self care and prioritising health ✨❄️✨
I am so proud of myself for getting on the mat today. I haven’t done yoga in at least a year and have been struggling with my weight. Today felt hard, but a good hard. I know that my body can be a lot more physically active and flexible if I just put in the time and effort. And today I put in the time and effort. ❤
I'm coming to this late, and I haven't done yoga for ages. But it feels like coming home. I am strong.
