- Join Adriene on Day 2 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Stretch your body and soothe your soul. Relieve stress and ease into your 30-day experience with an open mind, kindness, and curiosity.
Use this Day 2 practice to stretch tight muscles and soothe the nervous system - even an achey heart. This first week we take time to connect to the big picture and a full-body experience. Practice staying present as we deepen the practice and learn vocabulary to play with on our mat. Practices change from day to day - and get shorter towards the end. Stick with it! Take this time for yourself. Have courage to take the time for yourself! Get empowered, find what feels good, listen to your body and don't forget to have some fun!
Connect and support others down below! Cultivate positivity. Remember each day is different! The journey is the reward! See you tomorrow!

Yoga makes me feel like I'm taking care of myself instead of working out. For the first time, it's all about how I feel, and not how I look. So I wanna say thank you!
+Adrieli Cristine Brilliant. ^^^^ Everyone read this and be inspired!!! :-)
+Adrieli Cristine EXACTLY how i feel
+Adrieli Cristine so true!! me to!
+Adrieli Cristine You have just summed up yoga.
+Adrieli Cristine Very well put Adrieli!
I don't know how this makes me both sweat and feel like I've just had a really great nap
Samee
I feel it too
I feel ya !
This makes me sweat and want to take a really great nap after lmao
Lol totally!
I think my biggest challenge is constantly straining my head towards my laptop while I'm in odd poses to figure out if im doing it right lol
I relate
Don’t quit.
struggling with that too !!
I relate but let’s keep going
I'd suggest watching the video first so that you know what to expect. Hope this helps :)
It is 2023 and Adrienne is still my favorite yoga teacher and I am rewatching these old videos and love them!!
best yoga practice ever
She’s great but problem is I have no strength in arms or legs to do downward dog and my worst are the planks cause of my arm strength and my thighs legs doing the high lunge .. there’s no way I can get up .
Me too ❤
Here in 2024!
Me too 😊
Me too in 2024!
I'm about 300 pounds I'm bound and determined to lose weight its hard for me to bend and move around .. But I'm on day 2 a and my husband and our 2 little girls are cheering me on.. Thank you so much for posting these videos and making it possible for people like me to get the motivation to live a better life...
that's something i've noticed, i'm not craving junk food as much as i did before!
If you want to go vegan you can do that too if you aren't already
Josesandra Gonzalez q
It is great you are determined to lose weight and become more healthy! So many of us are here for the same reasons. :-) Like another commenter said, adopting a plant based and cruelty free vegan life style will not only help with shedding the pounds the healthy way, but it is also GREAT for multiple other reasons. :-)
atkins/lowcarb/keto is a great and healthy way to lose weight! i lost 30lbs in a month on it :) just depends on your body type. I tried vegan and gained weight T_T
Hi adrienne
Im 13 and have autism and severe anxiety and panic attacks o find this is a great way to relax and chill out
Glad you enjoy it, girl :) Yoga is really fun!
keep going
17 with autism, anxiety and panic attacks here, keep going love you’re doing so great and everything will get easier with time!
I'm autistic too and I'm glad you're already finding ways to manage your anxiety! It took me years to try yoga and it's really helping
12 yrs old and have anxiety keep going Samantha! :)
adriene: enjoy every minute of it, smile
me: *cursing to get through the last few seconds as my muscles shake*
i do enjoy it once i'm done with my practice for the day though
lmao that is so true tho
Same!
Literally had the same reaction! XD
Same
Day two was way harder than I thought. My knees were all stttttahp
I’m a vet with ptsd. Ppl have been trying to get me to do this for years, but I was always told yoga was for granola eating hippies. Very bad advice indeed. This has done so much for me and my mental state that I just wanted to thank you for doing this and helping me find some peace.
Hey, granola's not bad, either. Especially when you make it yourself.
Awesome to hear - thank you for your service!
I am so happy that you are doing what you need for yourself. I work with folks who have ptsd and I start to recommend these types of intervention as soon as I can. It makes such a huge difference.
I am a child of war and have PTSD . Crazy how it works.. you can be okay for 20 years and then.. bam.. it has your whole existence crushed. Yoga and meditation have been my saving grace. I'm glad it's working for you as well!
This super stiff 50 year old (soooo stiff!) has finally got his head out of his backside to do this as well...been avoiding it for years for numerous lame reasons! I have to say, it's flipping awesome!
On day two and I have discovered that surprisingly the most difficult part of yoga for me is , breathing. Is this just me or do other people feel that the focusing on inhaling and exhaling needs major practice. But I'm loving the tranquility these videos and the practice brings me. :)
I struggle soooo much too. I stopped the video about 4 times because I felt super light headed.
yeah m,y indecisiveness on whether to go in and out through the nose or the mouth or in through nose and out through mouth is insane. but practice practice practice i guess.
Chineye Emeghara same! it takes a lot of coordination, and then when i become so focused on breathing, sometimes it's hard to get a satisfying breath if that makes sense.
cristi1 It makes total sense I just feel like I can't do any of the moves right without compensating for everything.
hopefully with more practice, we will get the hang of it :)
I worked up a sweat on this one, but I can feel myself getting more flexible after a couple weeks of your amazing videos. It forces me to shower, which is great since my depression makes that hard. Your videos help me stay in a good mood, and are getting me in shape. Thank you Adriene! You're the best yogi, besides Benji of course. haha :)
The female version of Yogi is referred as Yogini))
I didn't expect the second day would be so hard! I had to stop in the middle of the practice because my heart was pounding and i felt dizzy. Doing this practice before sleep was bad idea😅 I will try to complete it tomorrow
I came to the comment section just to see if anyone else was having a hard time
I have had a tiny bit of yoga experience before this. The difference in difficulty between day 1 and day 2 is quite a bit. It might take you some sustained practice before your sense of balance improves to allow you to do day 2 reasonably well.
@@aidamagic lool, same for me. Now I feel relieved
Day 2 felt more difficult than Day 1
I was lagging a bit and that made me feel unfit and incompetent
I'll still finish the challenge though cause practice results in perfection.
@@maanyapagare4600 Oh, definitely. Day 2 is more difficult than day 1. I've done a bit of yoga before this, so this happens with everyone. When you practice, your brain improves your balance without you even knowing it's doing it, quite amazing! Keep with it, you will get better. :))
"let the motion flow through your body with the breath"
my body on an exhale: *a symphony of pops and cracks at every joint*
I just wanted to say thank you for this. I know it's only the second day for me but the little things you do that other videos I've tried have not really make me stick around. You actually take the time to let us do our thing instead of immediately switching which makes for pausing the video. You breathe in a way I can hear and it helps me not hold my breath. You are enlightening and I really feel like you are right here in my room helping me with the yoga. Thank you! I feel highly refreshed and so good!
XHikarixxx it's my second day to :)
XHikarixxx I totally agree with you. The best yogi I've found so far!
+XHikarixxx It's my second day also and I completely agree with you!! So grateful for this channel
Day 2 Complete: I'm so proud of myself for sticking to something for more than one day!
amyn0va Well Done. I've just done Day 2 also and I too will be proud of that instead of wondering if I will actually make it to 30.
amyn0va Same! I'm proud to do day 2 and want to keep at it! I was looking forward to this evening all day to do some yoga.
Kerz1978 TheNadakan Hooray, keep it up! I'm doing day 16 tonight. I had to take some days off to do Adrienne's gentler routines when I was too tired or sore but I didn't give up. What a great journey so far!
+amyn0va ikr? It feels amazing though.
Kerz1978 I know you posted this a while back but you can do it! I made it through all 30 days and took 3 weeks off because of an unrelated injury but I am looking forward to start all over at Day 1 again! I have never been able to stick to any "30-day challenge" type of thing except this one. It's addicting, it helped my anxiety and I've lost a a little weight because I became more mindful of my eating habits and stopped eating out of boredom/anxiety. On the days where I was too tired to do a regular day I would do her Yoga for hangovers or PMS/menstrual just to keep me on track so I didn't feel like a failure.
It is crazy how all of us are on day two even if we have done this in the past present or future. This journey really transcends time, so thank you all for being here on my journey and I'm happy to be here with you on yours, to our day 2 and our beautiful journey.
Hello friends! If you get to about 20 minutes in and start to feel like giving up due to hand/wrist pain, please don't. The last part of the video isn't as intensive in these areas. You can do it, keep going!
Tq for this... Actually I paused doing at 20 mints and started reading the comments... Here u r to motivate me and now I am going to do rest of this tq so much 😇
THANK YOU SO MUCH! i gave in 24 mins in and then read your comment, i loved that i got to do the last part, have a lovely day you!
@@karanapupravallika3570 SAME LOL! My hamstrings can’t hold these poses it burns
Thanks for that!
Thank you my wrists are pretty messed up so I can't put weight on them for long and I thought I would have to stop at 17 minutes in. But now I will keep going
I have a feeling I'm going to be repeating 30 days for each month of the year! Love xx
***** Hooray!
2015 off to a good start!
Exactly what I've been thinking. Cheers!
Exactly what I was thinking too : ) loving it
Me too!!
In the middle of this, I said: I am doing this for my crush to notice that I am getting in shape!
Then I stopped and said instead: No, I am doing this for myself! Because I love that I am getting my butt on the mat and that I am working for improving myself mentally and physically!
Hell yeah!! Do it for you.
If the crush doesn't come to the mat with you, are they worth it?
Do it for you :)
NOTHING you ever do for someone else lasts...
how do you follow along the video ? where do you keep the laptop or phone ? I cant see the instructions and do the pose at the same time
@@gymstuff3700 bro sameee i keep readjusting my phone position
October 2019
congrats for me and everyone who made it on day 2 🙃🙂
Day 1 had me fooled it wouldnt be so difficult but my god my legs are weak doing day 2
I just did day 2 too!!!
Just finished sooo good a d surprisingly hard lol lunges kill me :)
To the rest of the 2021 New Years Resolution crew: Hello! This year I am determined to feel better physically and mentally and I’m starting with 30 days of yoga! I am horribly inflexible, chubby, and out of shape so this routine has me huffing and puffing on an old camping matt on my bedroom floor 😂 But I know self-love means actively working on yourself and on the other side of this experience is a healthier, slimmer, more flexible me who is proud to have checked all 30 days. Best of luck to my fellow newbies!
hi! i hope this is going well for you! i believe in you!
@@mimokh7485 Aww hi! Yes I am sticking to it so far and beginning to make some progress!
@@clsisman yayyy lets goo!!!
ah congrats! i'm also trying to get better physically and mentally and hoping that this challenge is good! have you stuck with it?
@@ellaswan6614 Yes! I haven't managed to do every day so now I'm on day 20, not 27, but I'm still really proud of myself. Not much in the way of physical changes but there has been an improvement in my mental health which was really needed. I have chronic OCD.
Sooooo I just finished day 2 and I just wanted to take a quick minute out of my day to thank Adriene and say hello to my yoga family. I'm proud to say that I am a recovering addict and I have also been recovering from a back injury now for over 12 years and I have never felt better in all my life. I legit took all of my negative energy and flipped it to a complete positive new lifestyle. I'm living proof that life is literally what you make of it. How you think is exactly how you're going to feel. I pray that everyone will have a beautiful and positive journey and if you're having a bad day feel free to have some of my positive vibes. Life and love y'all. If you're reading this enjoy the rest of your weekend and tell someone that you love them today!!!
NAMASTE FAMILY
This is really inspiring!!
Namaste❤️
"just one more breath"
me: **breathes heavily 5 times**
😂😂😂 same
”one deep breath out, *soft exhale*”
Me: *WHEEZE*
same here, haha
Definitely me lol
İrem Şirin 🤣
Wow this was hard! I'm on day 3 of my workout and this morning it really hit me. I took a break at only 12 minutes. Praying this gets easier! Haha but thank you so much for this 30 days of yoga. I am flat broke right now so going to a class is not an option. This makes me feel like I'm going through a process and not just a one time thing. Love it!
+Michaela Moxley Boom. Awesome to hear. Yes!
I got to 7:27; you did good.
I got to about 11 minutes, before I took a break and need to skip a few things along the way, glad I'm not alone! looking forward to seeing improvements along the way :)
Mike Struc me too I gives up but my mum is like Ok check if I did alright! My mum doesn't even know which is right and which is left! XD
Old mac Donald had a farm
the second day was tough damn. dreading, but somehow still excited for tomorrow.
OMG Day 1 was the hardest thing Ive ever done LOL - should not have read the comments before I start day 2...
I totally agree... lol but it was fun
how do you follow along the video ? where do you keep the laptop or phone ? I cant see the instructions and do the pose at the same time
@@gymstuff3700 i place my laptop on the floor in 1 m from my mat, so when when i'm laying on my spine i kust need to turn my head to the right and voila i see adriene. and in the beginning of the practice i sit so my head would look straight at my laptop
Was going to give up 15m in, cause I'm pretty sure yoga isnt for me, but you're the best youtube yoga instructor I've come across and reminding me that doing things at your own pace is fine . Also, to do what ever feels good, did childs play instead of giving up for five mins and then continued. I'll be back tomorrow. Detemined not to give in.
holding a plank came at the perfect time because my cat walked right under me and i got to give her a little kiss on the forehead
Jax Cas that’s sweet!
Same exact thing happened to me just now. All planks and downward dogs, my cat was under me. Then she cuddled up with me at the end. She is a full on part of my practice!
honestly, top comment.
I just started this (obviously, since I'm commenting on Day 2), and my kitty is worried what the hell is making me twist into weird positions, so she walks around me, rubs against my legs, head butts me, purrs and meows. It's hilarious and also very sweet. She makes the practice less focused but like 1000% more fun.
My dog and cats love to come see what I’m up to. It’s sweet.
Lost a little confidence there in the middle but took a little break and came back to it and finished day two! Thanks Adriene :D
Had a tough time with the high lunge part so I took a bit of a break. Sometimes it is a mind over body thing though... We can do it!
Yes we can!!! Go us! :D
Paulaena Marie Yes, I found the high lunge really, really hard. I guess that means my legs are definitely out of shape. I hope by the time the month is over, I can restart the program and truly enjoy all the aspects of it.
Elinious i agree! i sort of gave up in the middle there.but i came back to it and finished :D
I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! Full journey comment thread is on the Day 1 video:) [Day 2/30]

Day 2 - Wow I started this with very tight/obstructed hip flexors in the Child's Pose and ended with a completely new flexibility, mobility and 'looseness.' Also began to sweat which was a surprise for a complete Yoga newbie! This was significantly tougher than yesterday for me, but in the end felt so good. Back and hip flexors feel most changed today.
Dear Adriene, this is my 4th time attempting this 30 day yoga challenge. The longest i did was 22 days. This time it feels different. The time doesn't pass in seconds, but in breaths. My poses aren't even close to perfect, but i modify them as much as I need, so i can do it with you, and not stare at the screen and wait for it to pass (I'm very inflexible and downward dog is the hardest one for me). Now everything feels great.. After 3 month pause, there is no frustration this time. Even after the first day exercise I already felt so good in my body. Now I'm very energized and ready to tackle my last year of university, and this quarantine. Thank you for keeping us company in these times. Hope you are staying safe. Lots of love
the title: "stretch and soothe"
me: *struggles and sweats*
Phew I'm glad I'm not the only one
Hahah so true.
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
I was gonna say! Wasn't expecting this tough a practice this early in tha game :)
Saames
this was so difficult!! all the planks and strength poses... I'm out of shape lol!
day 2 is completed though!
lovinglaurenx I just finished day too today! It was definitely hard some parts but felt great! I'm outta shape too 😂😂✌🏻
I couldn't hold the lunge on my right side but did it kinda on my left. I feel good tho x
That was a great idea to do the practice morning and night!
I'm trying to lose 20lbs. It is unbelievable how much harder it is to lose weight as u get older. I use to b able to skip a couple of meals and lose,. Now I don't even have to eat to gain weight!! It is quite frustrating!
YOGA HELPS TO CALM ME AND B MORE IN TOUCH W MY BODY! THANK u Adrienne for the workout and the attitude
lovinglaurenx same
i'm outa shape 2
Just got done day 2! My wrists/hands are very, VERY weak and I almost gave up 20 minutes into the video, but the last 10 minutes were mostly focused on the legs so I pulled through. It was tougher than the first day but instead of feeling tired I feel like I slept for 9 hours straight lol
Yes first day was easy… she got me saying we have 30 days and not to rush! 🤦🏾♀️🤣 now I understand what she meant because I was not expecting this intensity today
I was shaking and sweating the whole time, but I felt great afterwards. Really relaxed. :)
Me too! but it is good to feel so relaxed after :)
Right?! I thought i was in decent shape, psh :) yoga is awesome
Shaking and sweating and feeling out of breath... but now feeling great! :D
this is the exact same for me, tots sweaty as hell but really refreshed.
AGREED!! I had to stop a few times
I can't believe how quickly the time goes doing this
Holly Thacker Right??
+Holly Thacker so true.
+Holly Thacker I know right..
I'm on this for the 2nd time now. Last time I got to day 29, and then on day 30 I was so sick and couldn't do it - then by the time I recovered I was away visiting family in the UK and when I got home I was so busy with being back at work... so many excuses. Now I'm starting again for the 2nd time!
Holly Thacker I think I'm getting more flexible even though it is say four for me. I need to work on my upper body strength because I just can't hold the downward dog pose for too long!
I didn't know I could break a sweat doing yoga..
Tamed Raven Yessss!
Tamed Raven Yoga With Adriene I didn't know I could cry during yoga.
***** the same happend to me!!
Me either!!!
Tamed Raven same! i was sweating more than normal actually! I think its because you hold poses for more time than you would in a conventional workout, so it is really training those muscles! LOVE!
Thank you for the comments! I was soooo close to quitting because I was struggling and thought I wasn’t doing it right or the video was too advanced. The comments said they were struggling and keep going. Reading the comments gave me motivation to keep going. Thank you so much everyone. Even though finishing this video was a small accomplishment; I am so happy I finished it and I had fun too!
Day 2 complete! :) oh my oh my how heavy! I feel like 80 years old, hehe. Had to take a pause at 22 minutes. And really should do this all over again before I go to bed, ´cause I couldn´t keep ut. Feel very silly, but still fun though. I hope in time my hand palms will stop hurting, and that my legs will soften up.
That's exactly where I had to pause also!
+Christina Aas Lauritzen i paused there too lol. im still sore from day 1!
+AbuOfJudeah yes my wrists feel weak and sore when i plank on them :) hopefully they will toughen up :)
+Christina Aas Lauritzen Yep paused there right now. Feel like I'm going to collapse, wobble over, faint and break my wrist all at the same time.
+Kahlia Blake If you guys wrists are hurting try and focus your weight into your hands. Almost through your fingers. I've always had weak wrists and gymnastics destroyed them when I was younger. I had an amazing yoga instructor tell me to shift my weight into my hands when I explained my wrist problems. It has been very helpful in my practice and almost virtually stopped the pain.
Yoga with Adriene has been my go to for a while. She is the best. I feel fortunate to have access to her classes especially during this time. Thank you Adriene for sharing your gift!
Oh my god, this was so much harder than yesterday's
THATS WHAT IM SAYING BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT 😂 feels like it’s not beginners anymore
I'm feeling the same way. I'm going to try tomorrow's but may need to find another more beginners' series.
IK i had to stop 2 times i’m in so much pain
Kristin Taylor don’t give up!!
Day 2of doing day 2. This may be a 60 day challenge for me but that’s ok. Whatever works best for me.
Is it just me, or was this day especially hard? It was a bit too fast as well! XD
I nearly gave up, but today I actually made it to day 3(with a weeks break) and it felt amazing! So I'm back on track. Don't give up if one day is not your day! 💪
Same
Day 2 on January 2, 2020. Starting off my year with yoga everyday
a week behind you! just started yesterday! hope to keep myself motivated this one was wayyy harder than yesterdays!
I just started today, never done this before so excited to learn
Just completed day 3 tonight! :)
Are you still doing yoga every day, Cody?
Tip for beginners : you can adjust the speed to 0.75! Makes this class easier xoxo
*_Gasp_*
Thank you for the tip!
Thanks!
omg i'll do it from day 3 on thanksss
This would mean holding difficult positions for longer periods of time. I wouldn't suggest doing this.
Thank you!
While I was doing this practice my boyfriend, sitting on the living room couch, randomly started singing. I was slightly annoyed but didnt want to lose my concentration my telling him to stop. At that exact moment the video was as 31:35 when you did that loud "shhhhhhhhhhhh" . He stopped singing and was like "ohh jeez ok i got it" and walked out of the room. thanks Adriane lmao!
hahah supper
Omg. So I'm new to Yoga and only been doing your videos. I love the calm in your voice and the ease of doing it at home. I've gained a lot of weight over the last 3 years and I'm trying to get my life back in line both physically and emotionally. While laying on the mat today finishing this workout....I just broke down in tears. It really is exhausting living with pain, regret, anger, and self-doubt. Thank you Adriene 😊
WOW what a beautiful post! How are you nowadays in 2023?
@Rainbows And Kittens 👋 hello! Thank you for replying with such kind words and asking me how I am doing! I am still on my journey! Each day brings different challenges but I am trying to keep pushing forward and to have more experiences like in my original comment. Some days have been harder than others but that's life, huh? I wish you well and thank you again!
I needed to read your post today Mary. Thank you! I feel the same way. I wanted you to know you are not alone. We got this. Wish we lived nearby.
That moment when you think it's too hard and want to stop but your body is literally telling you "LET'S KEEP GOING I LOVE THIS!" :P
Second day of the 30 day challenge and I find myself different. Gaining peace. Surrendering. Thank you Adriene!
September 2019 anyone?
I just started these videos to help with my anxiety and stress and it’s helping so much! You are such a great teacher!
Well done everyone with Day 2! Whoop!
Yup, starting again for the third time! Someday I'll get thru this! Every day is a new day to start again! :)
October 2019 here whoop whoop!
wow that escalated quickly! lol this had me sweating, struggling and feeling connected with myself all at the same time. thank you for all the options you provide when feeling tightness in the muscles, for teaching us how to breathe and listen to our bodies!
I’m a complete beginner at yoga. Day 1 was challenging but I was able to complete it with relative ease and felt good. Going into day 2 I thought it was going to be similar. I had to pause this video 3 times to catch my breath. After pausing the first time 15 minutes in I thought it was best to continuing the next day as I felt very winded but reading these comments made me determined to finish this video in one day. At the 20 minute mark I had to pause 2 more times I could barely hold myself up but pulled through. My muscles were burning but it is essentially mind over body. I realized whilst doing the child’s pose and sitting up around the last ten minutes that I was now able to sit on my heels as I wasn’t able to connect my hamstrings and calves together on day 1 or at the beginning of this video. Pulling through the exhaustion was the best decision and feeling of accomplishment at the end felt amazing!
Don’t get discouraged at this stage!
Had a crazy day today, spent 5 hours in the ER with my mom after a long day of work. I got home and was preparing for my early work day tomorrow and instead of saying "I have to do day 2 of the challenge!" I said "I want to" it's really cool to find something that's good for my body and my mind that I WANT to do instead of feeling like I HAVE to do it. Perfect way to release all the stress from the day. Day 2 complete!
I really struggled with this and I had to stop a good few times, but taking the time at the end to reflect really helps. hope I can make it to day 30
Did this again after finishing the 30 days! It’s amazing how much stronger I’ve become after only a month!
Day 2 check!
Today is my second day and I admit I procrastinated and felt lazy for today’s session. Eventually I got myself together and forced myself to practice. It’s worth it because I feel better about myself, that I got the grib to do it even when I didn’t for hours and felt lazy to, I STILL DID! Through the session I felt bad about how stiff my mussels are and that some positions were hard for me, but I knew that it’s only a matter of time and me sticking to practicing everyday that will make me more flexible and strong. I’m capable and I can do it and I WILL. I love myself and I am proud of myself. Keep it up everyone! Love yourselves.
This is great for my 30 day coronavirus quarantine
I was a total lump for the first week. Just finished my second day, it's such a relief!
You mean 120 day quarantine. :P
@@stephthinks3109 ahahahahah yup.
This is great for my 90 days corona quarantine. It's been already 2 months lockdown in Nepal. God save😭❤️
Ha you thought
thankyou Adriene, I keep coming back for the classes and your personality, love that you can keep it relaxed and not so serious! Slow enough to feel into the poses, and modify to personal liking
thats so True
I agree, there is something so authentic and playful about her instruction and attitude. thanks Adriene!
This is killing me with all the planks and jumps. Did not once think yoga would cause my body this much pain but I guess that just means I need to change the stiffness of my body! I feel so good afterwards. I cannot thank you enough for these videos
I think it's great that you've discovered yoga. It shouldn't be painful though...slow down and go at your own pace. Take child's pose as often as you need to and you will get there. namaste
Harpreet Bains I'm 63, been doing yoga, just gently, since I was 25. Go slowly and each day your muscles will slowly lengthen so that your body loosens up. Good luck.
That's how I felt at first too. A year later in doing the jumps and not taking baby steps. It's awesome.
I liked this video. I found it very hard at first so the first time I stopped halfway. Later I revisited and I made it all the way through but it was still a challenge. I'm excited to try day 3 tomorrow. Don't get discouraged if you can't finish the workout! What's important is that you're challenging your strength and flexibility. If you make it through ten minutes today, do the next ten tomorrow or take a rest. It will be okay. :)
I have tried video classes before and have not been able to stick with the program for too long. I know that this is only day 2, but I actually feel a connection here. Thank you and much appreciation.
I feel a connection too Lauren...like I will complete the 30 days! All the best to you!
This is so good for people like me who struggle with anxiety and depression and wants to exercise at home where no one can judge u, Thank u so much! I'm soking in sweat now xD haha!
Emma Vestergaard it helped with my anxiety too. I thought it was just me!
Emma, I agree with you! it also helps my anxiety and depression. Does it helps yours too?
same here
Definitely helps with anxiety and depression for me as well😊
Day 2 completed! Is it me or was it harder than day 1? Anyway, looking forward to day 3 and beyond :-) !!!
yeah its harder than day 2 :)
It totally was! I broke a sweat this go 'round!
much harder! haha
yes it was my day 2 also and was lil harder i was a bit wobblie but never fell haha thank god and i broke a sweat made me feel great :)
harder .... wish me luck for day 3
I can't say enough how beautiful these daily practices are. This is my 6th 30 day challenge and it is so amazing how much stronger i have become in the past 6 months of daily practice. I have been practicing yoga almost daily for the past 3 years. My life has totally transformed inside and out. So much love to you Adriene for the free yoga you provide to the masses. Namaste!
Today was actually kinda challenging! I was shaking during the squat type pose and the warrior lunge pose. My palms kinda hurt a bit from all the pressing into the earth but maybe I'm not shifting my weight evenly enough. Loving these videos 😊 can't wait for tomorrow's video! Xxx
Could I get any tips on how to relieve some stress from you palms and wrist when doing the downward dog and plank? the really start hurting after a while, and I'm not sure if I'm distributing the weight properly or not.
+DayRiAnn1997 I have the same problem! How on earth does anyone do this without neverending wrist pain?
Keep those palms active! Try to resist sinking all of the weight into your wrists by pressing actively into the thumb and pointer finger. Eventually your forearms will gain more strength and your wrists will feel less stress. Namaste!
cheers
DayRiAnn1997 I read somewhere that your hands have to feel like they're clawing the mat, round your palms like grasping an air bubble
try stretching out those wrists before or after your practice - try a tabletop position and twist your hands around, so your fingers are pointing back towards your knees. From here find a little sway forwards and backwards, micro-movements, to find a nice stretch in the wrists :) namaste!
This was so difficult for me. I've only done the yoga in the Day 1 video so I don't know any of the poses or lingo yet, but she moved so fast between them I couldn't keep up. I'm grateful that I can do yoga at home, but I kind of wish she'd move slower for the Beginner's videos... I'm still trying to figure out how to breathe between poses! lol
It might be a bit funny sounding but you can always go to settings and play the video at 0.5x speed!! :)
I would recommend checking out the foundations of yoga series by Adriene. If you've never done yoga before it could help you understand the poses better and get better feel for what you're supposed to do :)
Honchina Wonderful! Thanks for the tip - i'll definitely do that. I like Adrienne and think she's a good teacher, she just moves a bit fast for me.
sara b That's a good tip! I'll try it! :)
I do the Day1 again and again till I am comfortable with it. It is a very good starting point.
It help me build confidence going forward in to other poses.
Wow, this is super not a day one level. If you failed out of this and ended up in pain or tears by the end -- you're not alone.
A little tip if you sweat or it's getting difficult for you, just press pause, yoga is not work out you don't have to get stressed you need to release stress so take your time and do some poses as long as you are comfortable
That doesn't sound right.
I feel like for absolute beginners this is a much tougher day than yesterday. I have experience doing yoga previously, so I was able to keep up, but I definitely had a moment of "Whoa, okay, hello yoga"! Will give day three a go tomorrow; I haven't fully committed to the thirty day challenge, but I like her teaching style and want to see where it takes me.
Okay, day 2 was way harder than day 1! I had to take multiple breaks and had to focus on not becoming frustrated. Definitely sweat. But what can I expect, this is my first time working out again in over 3 years.
I am starting yoga as a replacement for the antidepressants/anxiety medication I was taking and to help with weight loss. I can already say after the day one session, it helps! I did day one around 5pm and I felt so calm the rest of the night. I can't recall ever feel that at least mentally. Very excited to see where I will be after day 30!
Hi Adriene, I just want to say that while this is physically challenging for a weakling like me, what I like most about this is the practice of being present in the moment (even if my cat demands attention throughout my practice :D). I hardly have any space to practice in my parents' house and it's hard not to get distracted, but it really helps overall to focus on the body and breathing throughout the practice. I feel like I'm already becoming more mindful of my body overall.
Up until now, I've only done yoga as part of workout video series, but this is the first time where it actually feels relaxing cos you have a gentle way of instructing. Thank you.
Sol Echo yes whenever I do her yoga I feel not only relaxed but energized. The way she instructs is so soothing
Sol Echo yo
I know right, she talks so softly and gently but not to the point to where you can’t hear her. Her instructing is perfect ❤️
Wow, only day 2 and I already feel like I'm more flexible in my legs. This is my first time ever trying yoga, and I'm loving it so far.
This day kicked my butt! But every time I get to a point where I tell myself I have to stop you always say "hang in there!" or "you can do it!" It really does help, I stuck with it and did the whole workout. Thank you for doing this!
Laurabi X thanks. You've encouraged me.
I have been meeting Adriene on the mat every day since I discovered her (and yoga) on April 6th, during lockdown. I had just finished the Breathe series and re-started this 30 Days challenge when I broke my foot 😖. I was afraid I would not be able to do yoga for the next few months, but then I realized that, as Adriene always reminds us, I "have the tools" to modify the practice to meet my needs. I will be forever grateful for everything that I have learned from her 💗🙏.
I thought I would die during this, but I didn't ! I am new to Yoga, 56 yrs old, 2 yrs past breast cancer/mastectomy and living with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I take a breast cancer drug (to prevent recurrence by blocking estrogen from my body) and has greatly effected by joints and flexibility. I am determined to preserve all that I can and maybe even reverse these side effects. I have to take the drug for 5 years and 2 yrs, 1 month through. Thank you for these videos. Your foundation videos are amazing and such a blessing to me.
this morning i recieved the email that i had been laid off from my job, after a very emotional few hours stopping and taking the time to complete day 2 has eased and calmed me. I feel energised and ready to pick myself back up already and start looking for other work. Thank you adriene, I know i can do it
I hope you are doing well now. ❤️
I started this journey yesterday. I started for three reasons; 1) To create a habit - as I have a tendency to never finish anything I start, 2) For strength (body and mental) and 3) To take time for me and just love myself. Even if it's 30min a day. I hope there's a lot of people who start and finish with me. I just finished day two and I feel so calm and strong already. Do it for you.
I am doing this practice in Feb 2022 following on from the 30 day Move; it’s equally brilliant and I am finding it builds well on what I have learned so far, so I can fully recommend this and of course Adrien was as brilliant in 2015 as she is today. Namaste.
Day two for me after Move.... We are community! Like her vibe way better in this challenge, goofy and innocently playful, missed that in Move.....All the bestest on this journey😼
The toe yoga was much needed. I need toe flexibility. And the warrior pose destroyed me lol I'm excited for day 3 tomorrow
day 2: this was definitely more harder, especially in the legs, and my legs were shaking, but again: it didn't feel like 33 minutes! looking forward for day 3 though!
I had a little visitor while I was exercising today. My cat came to check on me and purred the whole time. I guess he likes yoga! :D
The best.
Yep. My kitty cat loves to practice with me!
Mine too. She sat on my back during child's pose. She wasn't too thrilled when I moved on though.
Hahaha, yes my cat joined as well! She loves to play with my feet.
my dog came on the mat with me too haha, interspecies yoga :P
ive been practicing yoga for 5 yrs. Recently going through some rough times, rehabbing and detoxing after having Covid. Yoga was always my center, my main pillar and some how the last few weeks I just didnt have the strength and motivitation to get on the mat. I decided to use this challange as my method to gradually get back, and MAN it hurts as If I never practiced. but having done the second day I am flushed with a wave of optimism and faith. I know I will get back. I trust the process, and you, My dear Adrian, are my guiding voice in this process. so thank you.
When she says one more breath and then she starts talking about how you can change it up and you breathe like 10 times while your muscles are screaming at you until she finally gets to that breath 😂 I guess it’s good for my muscles, but damnnnn I’m out of shape 😅
Yesssss! I was thinking the same thing while my legs were shaking
I start cursing when she does that 😂
I am so glad I am reading thru these comments. I was really hating myself doing today's session, feeling so grossly out of shape. It's good to know that I'm not struggling all alone, and that we will all come out so much better after this.
Karen Morris I didn't start to notice the changes in myself until 2 weeks in! Keep going, you got this!!
Adriene is so serene and i'm here shaking after 5 minutes 😂 i'm so glad i started this challenge, it's the first time i do anything for myself and my health since my last depression relapse. i feel good :')
I've tried sticking with other yoga routines before and sometimes they are so serious that I get bored.... I'm so happy I found your channel! My body feels amazing, plus you are so chill and entertaining that I am smiling the whole time. I always leave the practice with a smile on my face and a positive attitude to start my day. Thanks Adriene!
Adriene, thanks a lot for what you're doing! And I doubt that someone will read this, but thanks for the comments as well for all of you ❤ Most comfortable and satisfying thing for today😊
I feel so much more limber and relaxed :) and it's only day 2 , my goal is to find inner peace by day 30
Oh.My.God. This day 2 workout made me sweat. Day 1 was a breeze compared to this one. But! I'm in it to win it. I can do this. Day 3, I'll see you in a while. :-)
Tanya Francis As soon as she came out of the warm up I was like, "Oh man, here we go!" The sweat is an indication you're doing right! I was sweating all over my mat!
Also, I'm glad to see someone else is as late to this party as I am. I'm not alone!
Ali Marie ok. I'm doing it right! Let the sweat pour! :-) thanks for the encouraging words. I'm starting day 3 tomorrow. I started day 1 on April 29th. I'm not giving up!!!
Tanya Francis Likewise
Same here, mate! ;) Keep goiiiing!
Today was defenitely more challenging than yesterday. But for that I am grateful, without challenge it is hard to improve. Can't wait until tomorrow's video! Thank you for the beautiful yoga practice on day two! :)
Yes, they will all be different! Trust it!
just finished and while it was hard, the mental clarity and utter peace i felt at the end made it worth it. yoga has always been something ive either associated with intense spiritualism, and the little yoga i did as a kid was always something to endure, something i was bad at. bookmarking here on day two so that hopefully i can come back and see how far ive come
Anyone else just started 30 days ? , I am hoping to get down to my ideal weight by Christmas , and hope to do it with Adrienes find what feels good moto , life changing :)
Hi how are you getting on , I am on day 16 and loving it :)
Loving it on day 27 are you still on it ?
Just noticed a message from me a year ago , this time I am gonna Defos keep doing yoga everyday :)
Yes, Day 2,
@Alexa Jordan , my mood has improved too! Also trying to get back in shape. I love adriene's gentle way of instructing. Good luck to you sweetie.
I'm starting this challenge to cure my depression,let's see if it works
good for you :) I really hope it helps, one thing that's helped me a lot in the past is meditation - I really recommend it. I can recommend you some videos if you'd like
Sam Chaloner yeah sure why not
That's why I am doing this again. I did it 2 years ago when I was really depressed and for me it helped a lot. But I got lazy and stopped. Now that i start feeling depressed I got started again. Good luck to you!
When Im practising yoga it really helps me out with my depression, some times Ill put it off but once I get passed that I do some yoga and feel much better for it... I started Astanga Yoga at beggining of the year for 6 months, but then I couldnt pay for class, doing this to get back into home yoga... Well worth persisting with. Durig my break from it my also lowered. Feeling much better just after one session back... Peace xxxx
You could also try Breathe app. You find it in app store. It's really worth a try.
Day 2 completed! I injured my ankle almost two weeks ago and I have problematic knees and lower back - But I was determined and I managed to do almost everything. I did have to pause a couple of times when I felt like the pain wasn't the good kind. Thank you so much for doing these videos Adriene! I'm loving it.
I have to add - I'm not a spiritual person, but I do find that connecting to your mood constantly as you're working your body is such a calming, liberating experience. Yoga is the only form of exercise that really tunes into the importance of emotional well being as you practice.
me I 'm ten years old
I really appreciate this class
I'm confined doing this for thirty days , I do yoga with my mum
she fells so dizzy at the end of the class
But I really don't understand about all these comments
Because me , I'm totally fine !
It's so calm but at one part when you had the towel and to go get your toes ,
I was nearly gone die !!!
but that is yoga ...
and thank Adriene our yoga teacher ...
THANK YOU ADRIENE FOR TEACHING US YOGA !!!!!!!
From the girl of ten years old
You both can do this! :)
After trying a few yoga apps that weren’t quite what we were looking for, my boyfriend found this series and we love it! I love that Adriene is silly sometimes, it makes me feel at ease that we don’t have to be super serious! Definitely sore after doing this video last night, but looking forward to day 3
I’m 110 pounds. I’m not here to lose weight but I want to tone my stomach arms and legs and have a moment out of my day for this. After I did this day two I felt awesome even if it was challenging.
day two ☆
so good so far
who is in day two like me now let's do it together
and I would like to thank you for these videos
+Gisselle Piloto am in day 5 I stopped a little while because of period I'll get back in two or three days
I m day 2 And you are not alone #zineb
I know your comment is 3 months old but are you moroccan by any chance? :D
i know ur comment is 1 year old but are you morrocan by any chance ? 2 xD
I am haha!
I started with this one ... I used to teach yoga, but haven't practiced in a long time and it was too hard for me. So I looked for an easier one b/c Adriene is the best teacher I've ever had. I found a terrific Beginners vid and I am loving it. I haven't felt so good in years! Before long I'll be practiced and strong enough for the 30 Days of Yoga ... Thank you Adriene!
I received some bad news before doing this day of a challenge. I cried a little bit during the practise partially because I couldn't do all the poses perfectly and partially because of how anxious I was. I even stopped for ten minutes but came back and finished it. I love that in the end of the video there is time to reflect. I told myself that it's okay if I can't do everyting because I'm a complete beginner to yoga and I was feeling very stiff in general due to a recent illness. After all I felt relieved not only physically but also mentally. Thank you, Adrien! I hope I won't give up and last the whole month.
Hi Adriene,
Thank you for what you do through your online videos. I've been dipping in and out for a few months - yours were the online videos I found most accessible and am finding myself getting subtly stronger and finding postures and sequences that were near impossible more doable now. This 30 day challenge is a chance to make this more of a habit. Found day 2 a challenge but a delicious sense of satisfaction in being able to see it through. You make yoga accessible, fun but also with a sense of purpose behind it all. Always feel good afterwards. Thank you very much!! Bianca from London :)
Who else is doing this because of Corona?!
Not because, but it helps forget about it for 30 minutes!
Can't go to my regular gym (which closed), so here I am!
Helps me to think I'm not a bum while working from home
I am ... finally time to redeem with intentions.
I am, cause I can't go out, and also gives some 'me time'.
I used to watch your videos all the time! For 2 years, we used your videos in our mild-moderate SPED class of 4th-5th graders. We would do a video every day and the kids LOVED it! The aides and teacher even loved it so much we practiced at home and weekends too! I was so into it but over the last year experienced some huge life changes so I haven't practiced at all. I just started your 30 day one as the schools are still out right now so I have lots of free time! I lost all my strength and flexibility. However just doing 2 days of it makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER mentally and physically. For anyone who is questioning, it WORKS! And is so worth it! Just takes a little time and practice! Adriene, you're the best! ❤
