space! in my day, in my feelings, in my mind, in my thoughts, in my home, in my work. I imagine moving through the day as if my self is larger than my physical body.
Started this while ‘social distancing’ myself. Working from home, living alone. Trying to use this time to build daily habits that keep me mentally and physically strong. Good luck everyone who is distancing, self isolating or in quarantine! X
Also living alone & working from home during this time. Super strange times! Hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪♥️🙏 It's been hard but these challenges, and this community have helped so much!
I'm from Iran and I'm actually doing these practices to keep myself calm during this madness of war talks. I wish politicians were doing Yoga too!!! Maybe all of this could have been prevented.
Niusha Jokar, I am so so sorry for anything that the country I live in has contributed to the current situation in Iran! (I am German but live in GB). You are so right, if we all did more Yoga, if we felt the connection between each other rather than focused on that which divides us, then we'd deal with conflict in an entirely different way.
@@ruthrozelaar580 Dear Ruth, Thank you for your consolations. The people of Iran, including me, are fully aware that only the politicians are to blame for these killings and bad incidents and of course you are not at fault dear. What we can do is to be positive in times of hardship, send good energy through Yoga, love each other, so maybe this never happen again. I wish you a wonderful life full of joy :) Namaste
As an American, all I have to say is we don’t want war. I wish nothing but peace for you and your country. I am glad you can find calm in these videos. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Salam, my friend.
@@cs-sr5mp Oh salam dear friend :) We as Iranian people have never wanted war either, there are only a handful of politicians who wage war for their own benefits. All people want is freedom and peace. I'm so glad that people like you exist in this world, and that truly gives me hope. Wish you luck
Oh my god I m very happy to see this brotherhood in this comment section . really appreciate your point of view, both from iran and America. That's truly yogis spirit. thank you for spreading thoughts of peace.🙏🙏🙏 Namste from India. Thank you very much dear adriene for this lovely community 🙏👌👌👍
As a bloke living on a continent that is currently on fire. This is what I need to do to calm and focus my energy. Anger won't help, but intention will. Thank you guys, from your brothers and sisters down under.
I've neglected my physical self for the past two years and I'm back with intention for HOME. Thank you Adriene, for always being there when I come back!
I love how I get these videos ar 6am so I can do them whenever I want during the day. Little confession: this is the first time I actually wake up to do it at that time! Have a blessed day everyone!
Hi Majda! Here in Spain they upload at 7am and that's a little late for me cause I need to leave for work at 7:30. I'm finishing my Christmas Holidays next Monday and as I won't be able to do it before work and that's what I want, I think I'm going to start doing them with a one day delay so every morning at 6:30 I can do the previous day video instead of needing to wait to the afternoon. I've found doing them first time in the morning really sets my day with a whole different energy!! Lots of love
@@cris_y_ya That's a great idea! I love doing them in the morning as well and I also love how committed you are- finding solutions that work for you rather than just blaming the upload time and trying to do it later and possibly not following through! Keep up the good practice!
@@cris_y_ya I might do the same as I finish my Christmas holidays on Monday too. I'm in the UK so would need to do them at 5.30am to leave for work at 7am
A little confession here: I had to do this session twice. Yesterday, while doing it for the first time, I noticed, in the middle of the practice, that I was struggling more with my breathing than with the planks. As soon this thinking came to my mind, I disconnected from the practice and it's meaning (to intend). And, funny enough, my intention was to "connect". So when I finished it, I took the decision of doing it again the next day. It was the best decision ever. Today, when setting my intention, I went a little further: "connect with my inner power". I repeated it like a mantra during the session. I also paid more attention to my breathing and softened my movements. It went amazing. It's like I did two completely different sessions. Even I got to notice stuff that I didn't yesterday (like Benji's little claws walking through the room and some things Adriene said). So yeah, this is my story for Day 2. I didn't want to fall (more) behind by redoing an entire session, but I knew that it was the right thing to do. When you really set an intention and go for it during your practice, yoga gets a new meaning. Namaste 🙏.
I also do every day a few times. The first time I am too busy peeping over to see what is going on and what I am supposed to do next. And then there are those crazy days when the cat gets spooked by a toy, takes a flying jump on you bum while you are in down dog and starts playing like crazy around you so that every pose where you don't have the guy in view is a posture of faith. And why not do them a few times. I am not in a hurry, no reason or need to finish in 30 days. I see it more like music, you have to go over a piece, any piece more or less often until it sounds right to you. And if yoga is a journey why not take your time and enjoy the view along the way.
@@christine6878 Hey! I feel you about the glasses problem. Have you tried to do a practice without them? At first, it may be a bit difficult, especially if you don't really understand the movements you are supposed to do (happens to me time to time), but it forced me to trust more in Adriene's voice and instructions, and, therefore, to trust more in myself.
@Brittany Whitlock, This is my 2nd round of 30-Day, I just finished the one she did early this year. To answer your question, I haven't, but I think it's a great idea to do that, especially when one find a position hard to accomplish....thank you for that, I will remember to say that when positions get a bit challenging going forward! Much Blessings
I don't think any words come out, but I can tell you that in my head, I'm totally telling those planks off and Letting them know that I am the boss!!!!
Have been binging again since this Holiday season came and trying to "correct" it thru restriction. Boy have I been going about it wrong. It came to me in the practice, my intention now is to Nourish. In all aspects- the exercise I do, the foods I eat, the music I listen to, the people I surround myself - is this nourishing me? Thanks for helping me hear my inner wisdom. Namaste.
Woke up at 6am in the UK as this uploaded, and just went through this. Made me excited to wake up, and already off to a good start setting my intentions for the day. Thank you Adriene! Hope everyone has a nice day 🤗
I feel like some pieces are coming together for me. I have chronic muscle tension and last time I got a massage, the therapist said, "it's just not wanting to let go". That reached deep into my soul. And I asked my soul, "why don't you want to let go"? The response I got back was fear. So my intention since then, has been to "let go". I have been telling my subconscious - I know you have been trying to protect me, and you have done a great job. But it is time to let go now. We need to move on. Focusing on the intention this practice, has released something inside me. It is small; it will take the letting go of lots of little bits and pieces before the fear is gone and I make it to peace. But one little bit has released today and it is leaving thru my eyeballs. Thanks again Adriene ❤️
This is beautiful... I can soooo relate. Whew! That fear is something else boy... fear will hold u hostage.... before know it ur stuck in the same spot feeling heavy while life passes u by... I almost didn’t do my practice today bc I didn’t feel up to it but after reading ur comment I’m getting on my mat. Thank you! ❤️
Adriene, i am so grateful for you. been practicing your videos for over 2 years, and i was recently diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. i have undergone unsuccessful surgery, and am now being put through medical induced menopause at the age of 23. dealing with chronic pain and feeling weak/unlike myself has been such a struggle as i love to be active and do yoga. but today i was able to follow along this video for the first time in months. i may never be at the same active/health level i once was but i am so proud and grateful i was able to participate today. thankyou for making these videos
Yes! Coffee, a glass of water and then unto the mat! Feels great 😊 btw my cat gets concerned everytime I lay on the floor with my eyes closed. I get checked on, with a wet nose and loud purring right in the face each time. ❤
I did an activity holiday earlier this year, one morning a god from a nearby cafe decided to gatecrash our morning yoga session. She made friends with everyone in turn and when we did corpse pose at the end she was initially concerned for her BFF but eventually lay down and did corpse pose with us.
Haha same but it’s my cockatiel! The little pitter patter of his feet running across the floor and then the feeling of his little claws climbing up my shirt, open my eyes and there is a little beady eye staring at me confused 😂
I completed your Breath 30 day challenge and as I need the structure of a daily session, took your advice and have started this one for February. Thank you so much, daily practice has really eased my back issues.
Adriene when i leave the mat i feel this abundance of energy and POSITIVITY in me and it makes me wants to get back to my desk and be productive. Thankyou Adriene for this series, 🙏 my soul respects your soul🙏
Hi to who ever might be reading this - although this is one of the „older“ YWA journeys: The „Home“ series was my very first YWA I did and I have kept on sticking to my Yoga practice ever since. But there have always been times inbetween where life played hard. Times when I lost track of myself, loosing myself in the chaotic outside of life... But whenever life brings me down to my knees and I need a reset, I do the 30-days-of „Home“ journey. To bring myself back „home“ again literally. To center myself, to feel my body, heart and mind intensively and to turn inward to be able to stand steady again outward, too. I regard the „Home“ series as one of the best of all calenders and journeys I have practiced with YWA so far. Really roots and catches me up ever so softly but also intensively. Makes me feel ready to step outside into life strengthened and completly centered again. Thank you so much for this big big treasure, Adriene...from my 💛 to yours. And same thanks to the huge community out there all around the 🌏💫🌈
I just started this journey yesterday. I felt like it started calling my name again and just found myself going home. My intention is to start showing up for myself every day here on. I am really blessed to read how this has helped transform you and how you continue moving along. Thank you
Checking the views before and after, there were around 7 thousand people joining me today! Such an amazing feeling! My intention is to find my inner power and confindence. What a beautiful practice today! Namaste! 🙏🏻
I lost my practice towards the end of 2019 and I actually felt quite defeated after yesterday as my body didn't respond to me how it used to but after today I feel energised and accomplished!
This is my EXACT feeling. I was pretty on top of it in Oct/Nov last year, but December hit me with illness and the holidays. Yesterday was TOUGH to start. Today felt like coming home (pun intended).
Same here. I gave myself december off no yoga no handstand practice no stretching nothing. Back to square one but I don’t mind it. Doing only the 30 day home practice and February I will pick up my other practices again. Sometimes it is good to give your body some rest.
This was amazing and perfect right before bed - I'm excited to commit to this for the month! I've never done yoga this consistently before and I'm a little nervous but definitely excited!
I’ve just done it before bed to...as I usually do. Lovely way to stretch, relax and get out of my head before bed. My intention this month is to really focus on cultivating my breath
This is why I’m here. At 6pm on day 2 of yet another heatwave day in Australia facing down a day if emergency throughout our state and beyond with fires ringing our capital. The intent to be centred, grounded, kind to myself so I don’t give way to fear. So glad. 🙏❤️
Sending you good energy my friend. A couple months ago here in CA, we had wildfires burning close to our home and we had to evacuate. I remember it being a terrible feeling, and everything to the air and the people's moods were just so grey. Maintaining practice really helped me and I hope it will for you too 🙏
Jay-Ram Rajendra ah I hope you didn’t lose your home. So many homes lost here and so many souls also gone. But also incredible stories of bravery and compassion. And yes this practice helps so much. Especially with a teacher like Adriene. 🙏
I am so happy of having started this classes. I'm from Northen Italy, the region that is now being hit the most harshly by coronavirus; the situation here is awful. I am sad, stressed and frightened but these 20 minutes a day are incredibly regenerating both for the mind and the body. I can totally relax and make room for positive thoughts. I would have never thought that yoga could help so much. Thank you Adriene for making those lessons available for free!
Same! I caught myself panicking when we were going to pick our intentions and was very grateful when she suggested one in the end. Glad I am not the only one, haha. Have a great day!
If yesterday felt a little slow, today I was reminded how much I need this to become stronger. Love the planks, but man they're not easy! Thank you, Adriene!
I am catsitting an adorable little kitty who, as soon as I rolled out my mat, started clawing at it. So my intention today is: I choose to cultivate patience. :p Happy day 2 friends
Yes! My kitty started clawing at my mat which was to expensive to be torn up just yet. So I got said kitty his own mat to sprawl out on next to me! It’s an old crummy mat so he can do whatever he pleases with it 😂. But those ankle attacks during mountain pose are what will really test me! 🙏
After feeling disappointed with the stiffness in my back yesterday, my intention was to love and accept myself fully for where I am right now. By the end of the practice, I was learning to love and accept how much strength I already have. I got quite emotional during the extended child's pose! This is helping me to become so aware of the posture I hold throughout the day and I cannot wait to see the improvement! Thank you Adriene!
starting late, but am on day 2 :” today was a little harder than yesterday and i struggled with the planks but i’m proud of myself for making it through. i feel like today’s lesson to intend was really helpful for me and allowed me to solidify my decision to “get healthy”. i am so thankful that i have access to content like this. hope to continue with my best >_
Keep going! I`m on my third challenge (started in April) and it`s crazy how my body already changed without me noticing! My whole body including my core is so much stronger! Just take it step by step, day by day and in no time you`ll notice a difference.
My intention is to simply be my own friend. To stop beating myself up mentally and be honest not judgmental like I would be for any of my friends. I really focused on that during this practice and sometimes Slipped but I learning. And that's what this year journey that I'm embarking on is about I guess, it's silly but I've just realized that. Love from France, Namaste
I’ll admit. This one kicked my butt a little bit. Middle of last year I would have walked a practice like this. Though lately I have been struggling with mental health issues and lost my motivation and confidence with yoga. This series has come at the best time and although today was hard, I know that continuing to show up for myself on the mat can only be beneficial. Can’t thank you enough for what this channel continues to do for so many around the world ✨💕 so much love to everyone on this journey ❤️
Day 32 for me after completing Breath. Not sure if you had any idea how appropriate the title HOME would be for 2020, but it still applies in 2021. So awesome to continue this journey with everyone here. Loved hearing Benji walking around in the beginning today. My dog decided he should curl up in my lap while I was seated. Dogs make yoga more special!
I always feel much more flexible in the evenings so I enjoy the practice more when I do it at night! But I like to have a look at the video in the morning. Just to see what awaits me in the evening! Best wishes from one German to another :)
@@Jannyl13 I experienced that I am more flexible in the evenings too 🤗. But during the week yoga in the morining wakes me up and feel very good about myself 🌻- but - every day my body feels different and I try to do what feels right. 😊
"I intend to show up for myself" As my arms began to shake or my abs begged me to lay back down - "I show up for myself" I would repeat. Then hold the position until it was time to move on.. This was a powerful message today.
Here am I as well, in the eternal now, of course, where else? Bless those recordings... Welcome to all the other ones practicing with Adriene whenever they do.
It happens to me in every video and I thought I was the only one💔 This journey to myself is really emotional to me and I suppose it happens the same to you, so sending loooots of love from Spain! We got this!!:)
Cristina Espinosa Ohhhhh 💕 yes dear, it's really a journey into ourselfs and I'm so glad for this! sending looots of love for you too, I'm from Brazil 😙 besos
After a whole night of (PTSD) nightmares and struggeling to get out of bed, I had some doubt showing up on the mat today. The first couple of minutes I catched myself mostly worrying and panicking that "it wasn't working", but after a few minutes that thought went away and now I feel so much better and ready to take on my day. Thank you so much Adriene!
I choose to intend joy in my everyday life. From drinking my coffee to running errands - I want to see joy in the little things in my daily routine which makes getting up special each day. I woke up very excited to start my yoga with Adriene; setting the right intentions for myself! Happy 2020!
So many people doing this practice alongside me, wow! I am happy to be cultivating this intention, this desire to not only return home, but to care for the home we have here. Namaste
My dog was laying on the end of my yogamatt the whole time and at the end when I was breathing deeply, totally relaxed, she layed her head down next to mine and she sighed, also totally relaxed 💖
I've been sitting too much for work and no yoga to my detriment ☹️. I am doing Home again because it will gently get me back to where I was. I love your sequential days to work different muscle groups so it is easy to continue every day. Plus I love and NEED the hip stretch segments. Thank you so much for your wonderful collection!! I wish you all the happiness and health you give to the world!🙂 Dallas, NC
I also just finished Breath and decided to begin with “Home” today to stay with wonderful energy and momentum of this daily practice! I’ll be joining you from Greece - Namaste 🙏💫
I'm with you, Lydia. We are both in Canada. Wasn't Day 2 such a beautiful and reassuring session. I love my time on the mat each morning with Adriene guiding our moves.
I got to day 2 of this before Christmas and I was all aboard the intention train. I sat down in front of my wood burning stove and got about 5 mins into this video when I started to smell something bad.... cut to 10 mins later and I was up a ladder and on the roof pouring water down my chimney to put out a serious chimney fire. Suffice to say even the very brilliant Adriene could not help me find inner peace that day. That's a true story. I'm back now though and really enjoying it. Thanks Adriene, you rock. See you tomorrow on day 3.
Thank you so much Adriene and everyone involved, all levels of support crew, thank you for making such great content and accessible to all us around the world. I have been waiting for "HOME" for so long, it's just what I need rn to pull myself out of this fuuuunnkkk. Sending you love & light from Minnesota 🥰💛 🙏
Guys your comments make me believe in humanity again! ❤❤ I know Adrienne stuff are always great but reading comments before starting the practice makes me feel connected to you and open to receive and change. 😇
I'm 24 and my body feels like 87 years old, I'm really into meditation but now that I'm getting good at it I realized that my mind cannot feel great in this body. I've been looking for an excuse to move my body and yesterday I tried this challenge, my body was aching everywhere but I immediately felt empowered, energized, cared for. I hope I won't forget to do the entire challenge, keep you updated
Adriene, You are a miracle worker! That was the most beautiful session....so peaceful, so optimistic, so reassuring. I simply LOVE spending time with you....each morning. Big hug!
We repeated day 1 and will definitely have to repeat day 2 as well. It went so much faster but with new poses like 3 legged dog that I could barely get into before we were moving on. I felt like I scrambled to keep up and not fall over for half of it instead of focusing on intent and breathing. I don't mind redoing them, though. I'm showing up for myself. That's a great thing.
It really warms my heart to see so many lovely, kind people coming together for this practice. Thank you so much for being with me. I'm beyond humbled and grateful! ✨
Dear Adriene, Thank you for Day 2 Yoga in your home with your gorgeous calm dog Benji. Today was my second day ever of Yoga. I am 55 and not quite as flexible and strong as you but your calming gentle voice and ever present smile encourages me to follow your advice and take my intention further. Today was easier than yesterday perhaps because of that thought being present during the exercises. I listen to your every word and one phrase popped :”Be kind.” so i realised i need to be kind to myself during the exercises! so i was. Tomorrow i shall return for Day 3. Namaste.
Had a moment too good not to share today. I’m usually not good with the abstract mental aspect of yoga like setting an intent so today I said “to feel good.” And what do you know, after 3 months of regular yoga practice, my heels came comfortably down to the ground without any forcing during downward dog. And it felt GOOD. Thank you YWA for consistently giving me something to feel good about.
I have been struggling with depression and anxiety and have felt so out of touch with my mind and body. This is my first yoga challenge and even though it’s only been two days, I feel incredible. I leave my mat feeling positive and refreshed. THANK YOU❣️
I gotta say... 2019 was a rough year for me and I lost touch of my 'home.' I've been an avid follower for years and it feels so good to 'bring it back home.' I don't know about everyone else, but this has been the best theme yet for me. Thank you so much and namaste to you and everyone in the community 🤗🤗
@@CalebVanSetten extremely. A friend gave me a frame that says home at the bottom and it's just a picture of me. I definitely have left home in search of answers elsewhere. And yet, I was Home all along. I do have some tidying up to do, however! 🙄😉
I ended the video than i start crying without any reason and i let myself get as emotional as possible i felt really great i believe that i released what was holding me back from my intention, thank you so much adriene i'm so grateful for for today's lesson, it's really so important that we keep in mind our intention during all the journey 💚❤ namaste
I was feeling right and tense at the beginning of the video. As you would say, a bit of a “Yoga robot,” but after the moment where we were breathing in mountain pose, everything just fell into place, and my body started responding and working more fluidly. Thanks as always for doing these 30 day challenges.
following you since 2016, we are at third...(ish) lockdown here in Italy...you are saving my Christmas...blessing to you and to this beautiful community
Only just found this it’s Christmas Day and just completed my day 2. We are in full lockdown and this has reconnected me to my love of yoga Thank you feeling blessed xx🙏❤️🎄
Loved this aside at minute 16. I'm adding this to my journal for today: "The more we practice moving with intentions and thoughtfulness, the more likely we are to have these tools when we need them the most. On the mat, in a hard posture or on a day when we didn’t really want to show up or off the mat when we become angry or upset - do we have the practice under our belt to be thoughtful; to pay attention to recognize that our thoughts and words are important and our intentions can cultivate or amplify the things we want to manifest. This versus just being in a reactive state all the time."
Just finished breath and starting this journey, I am a beginner and she says welcome to your 30 day yoga journey, I feel like I am being genuinely gently guided in to my life time of yoga journey, I am normally correct about feelings when I see things and I feel like nothing but love and success in the future for this lady, namaste 🙏🏻
My intention for the next 30 days is simply "action." I have a lot of things that I want to see happen in my creative and professional journey, and now is the time to take action to see these things manifest, rather than just ruminating on them. The same is true in my yoga journey; I want to get stronger and make yoga a more consistent part of my morning, so quite literally, by taking this 30 day challenge, I am taking "action." Thank you for a great video! I hope everyone is having a blessed day! :)
Yoga was in my weekly routine when I was in my 30s after my 2nd child was born. Now in my 40s, I started to have body aches and as a teacher, I knew what I had to do for myself. I am thankful that I found these videos. Thank you!
My intention is to grow and deepen my self-confidence through loving movement. I love how Adriene reminds us to come back to our intention so many times throughout the video. It helps me stay grounded in the reason I am here. Sometimes, I get caught up with how well I can create a shape or if I'm doing my yoga "right." My intention and breath remind me that this is a journey, and I can't wait to see how I feel at the end of this month!
This was so calming, thank you Adriene❤️ You always seem to know exactly what is needed. Yesterday I treated myself to a proper yoga mat after months of working on a short, slippery gym mat (thank you for supporting me, mat, now I will go on :) and it is a blessing! I am not slipping in downward dog, plank or other poses anymore, it is so much better, I am so happy! Now I can even practice with socks on when it is cold😁 Wishing everyone an awesome day. I'll be here tomorrow. Namaste🙏
I am from Spain and i suffer from depression and anxiety so being in quarentine is making me feel so stuck in a negative state of mind so ive decided to try this home series and for now those 2 days im feeling more relaxed ☀️☺️
I’ve been feeling lost lately, anxious and insecure. Not like myself at all. Although I’ve been taking care of my body by exercising and eating right, I forgot to take proper care of my mind and unable to connect body and mind. Your videos are a blessing Adriene. Thank you so much. And also a huge thanks to the ywa community. Reading the comments warms my heart, makes me feel less alone and inspire me that I deserve to show up for myself. I intend to trust. Trust the universe that it’ll all work out the way it’s supposd to. Trust that I’m right where I’m supposed to be. Trust that I’m working hard enough, and that it’s enough. Trust that I am enough. Trust my instincts. And trust that I’ll find my way back to me, to my true home. Much love x
7am on the West Coast of Ireland, love the pace of this one. Managed to balance the cat on my back from plank through down dog to forward fold somehow? 😻😉
I did the 30 day challenge and now I'm working on this one. I think one of the reasons I love it so much is that in days where I constantly have music playing or a video on in the background, this is the only time I really sit with myself and appreciate existence without distraction.
*Home - Day 2 :* (after)noon session Gosh those planks! My wrists and forearms were so tight yesterday today I struggled to find what feels good during the first few planks but the last one felt so amazing! Loving today's practice I'm so sweaty 😂 Can't wait for tomorrow! Peace and love from Algeria 🇩🇿 Namaste ❤️
"Breath" saw me through a difficult March '22. I'm leaving this practice tonight, with a big smile on my face! Thanks Adriene and everyone out there to see me through a rough patch. Full of new found energy for the next thirty days, even if a little later than most here.😃😃
I feel so much less alone knowing I have so many yoga buddies out there. During this time of "social distancing" we are able to gather! Thank you Adriene and everyone out there.
It's Day 2! You are doing great. I am proud of you! Is there something you want to cultivate or amplify through this journey?
I want to cultivate commitment and trust that I can do it! Thank you!
space! in my day, in my feelings, in my mind, in my thoughts, in my home, in my work. I imagine moving through the day as if my self is larger than my physical body.
Physical,mental and spiritual growth and strength 💗
A sense of security, lightness--a releasing of burdens.
Day 2 in the bag. I intend to find inner peace and rid myself of all negativity. Thank you Adriene. Namaste.
Nothing better than trying this 30 day challenge again during this quarantine, anyone with me?
Ellen Klerkx yes I’m on it as well! Day 2, let’s go 🤩

Me too - I love it
I'm doing it during this quarantine.

Ots how I start every morning
My quarantine yoga buddies! How did we all do today?
Prague has completed day 2 :)
hello quarantine friend! hanging in there!!!
Day two completed in Paris :)
Day 2 in Kuwait :)
Hiii my quarantine friendss!! Strenght and love from spain!💪🏻😷💃🏻
Started this while ‘social distancing’ myself. Working from home, living alone. Trying to use this time to build daily habits that keep me mentally and physically strong. Good luck everyone who is distancing, self isolating or in quarantine! X
Also living alone & working from home during this time. Super strange times! Hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪♥️🙏 It's been hard but these challenges, and this community have helped so much!
I'm from Iran and I'm actually doing these practices to keep myself calm during this madness of war talks. I wish politicians were doing Yoga too!!! Maybe all of this could have been prevented.
Niusha Jokar, I am so so sorry for anything that the country I live in has contributed to the current situation in Iran! (I am German but live in GB).
You are so right, if we all did more Yoga, if we felt the connection between each other rather than focused on that which divides us, then we'd deal with conflict in an entirely different way.
@@ruthrozelaar580 Dear Ruth,
Thank you for your consolations. The people of Iran, including me, are fully aware that only the politicians are to blame for these killings and bad incidents and of course you are not at fault dear.
What we can do is to be positive in times of hardship, send good energy through Yoga, love each other, so maybe this never happen again.
I wish you a wonderful life full of joy :) Namaste
As an American, all I have to say is we don’t want war. I wish nothing but peace for you and your country. I am glad you can find calm in these videos. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Salam, my friend.
@@cs-sr5mp Oh salam dear friend :)
We as Iranian people have never wanted war either, there are only a handful of politicians who wage war for their own benefits.
All people want is freedom and peace.
I'm so glad that people like you exist in this world, and that truly gives me hope. Wish you luck
Oh my god I m very happy to see this brotherhood in this comment section . really appreciate your point of view, both from iran and America. That's truly yogis spirit. thank you for spreading thoughts of peace.🙏🙏🙏 Namste from India. Thank you very much dear adriene for this lovely community 🙏👌👌👍
As a bloke living on a continent that is currently on fire. This is what I need to do to calm and focus my energy. Anger won't help, but intention will. Thank you guys, from your brothers and sisters down under.
Stay safe my friend

Fellow Aussie here - nothing else brings me peace like this does right now. Very grateful. Take care
Our thoughts are with you
I've neglected my physical self for the past two years and I'm back with intention for HOME. Thank you Adriene, for always being there when I come back!
I love how I get these videos ar 6am so I can do them whenever I want during the day.
Little confession: this is the first time I actually wake up to do it at that time!
Have a blessed day everyone!
You're doing great!!
Hi Majda! Here in Spain they upload at 7am and that's a little late for me cause I need to leave for work at 7:30. I'm finishing my Christmas Holidays next Monday and as I won't be able to do it before work and that's what I want, I think I'm going to start doing them with a one day delay so every morning at 6:30 I can do the previous day video instead of needing to wait to the afternoon. I've found doing them first time in the morning really sets my day with a whole different energy!! Lots of love
@@cris_y_ya sounds like a great plan 🙌🏼🙌🏼 keep it up, we got this 💪🏼💪🏼
@@cris_y_ya That's a great idea! I love doing them in the morning as well and I also love how committed you are- finding solutions that work for you rather than just blaming the upload time and trying to do it later and possibly not following through! Keep up the good practice!
@@cris_y_ya I might do the same as I finish my Christmas holidays on Monday too. I'm in the UK so would need to do them at 5.30am to leave for work at 7am
A little confession here: I had to do this session twice. Yesterday, while doing it for the first time, I noticed, in the middle of the practice, that I was struggling more with my breathing than with the planks. As soon this thinking came to my mind, I disconnected from the practice and it's meaning (to intend). And, funny enough, my intention was to "connect". So when I finished it, I took the decision of doing it again the next day. It was the best decision ever. Today, when setting my intention, I went a little further: "connect with my inner power". I repeated it like a mantra during the session. I also paid more attention to my breathing and softened my movements. It went amazing. It's like I did two completely different sessions. Even I got to notice stuff that I didn't yesterday (like Benji's little claws walking through the room and some things Adriene said). So yeah, this is my story for Day 2. I didn't want to fall (more) behind by redoing an entire session, but I knew that it was the right thing to do. When you really set an intention and go for it during your practice, yoga gets a new meaning. Namaste 🙏.
I'm doing this for every day😅😅 and as you said it feels so much better
Amazing!! 💜
I also do every day a few times. The first time I am too busy peeping over to see what is going on and what I am supposed to do next. And then there are those crazy days when the cat gets spooked by a toy, takes a flying jump on you bum while you are in down dog and starts playing like crazy around you so that every pose where you don't have the guy in view is a posture of faith. And why not do them a few times. I am not in a hurry, no reason or need to finish in 30 days. I see it more like music, you have to go over a piece, any piece more or less often until it sounds right to you. And if yoga is a journey why not take your time and enjoy the view along the way.
Good idea, I think I’ll repeat each session. This was a struggle and trying to watch (with my glasses slipping off all the time) doesn’t help
@@christine6878 Hey! I feel you about the glasses problem. Have you tried to do a practice without them? At first, it may be a bit difficult, especially if you don't really understand the movements you are supposed to do (happens to me time to time), but it forced me to trust more in Adriene's voice and instructions, and, therefore, to trust more in myself.
Any fellow 'Breath" people find themselves involuntarily whispering "I am strong" through each plank pose? Sneak, Adriene, sneaky!!
I do:D but I love it
Рооо
@Brittany Whitlock, This is my 2nd round of 30-Day, I just finished the one she did early this year. To answer your question, I haven't, but I think it's a great idea to do that, especially when one find a position hard to accomplish....thank you for that, I will remember to say that when positions get a bit challenging going forward! Much Blessings
I don't think any words come out, but I can tell you that in my head, I'm totally telling those planks off and Letting them know that I am the boss!!!!
Hearing Benji click-clack around the room was too cute and brought a massive smile to my face!
Same! And my cat joins me, laying next to me while I practice.
me too, its just so satisfying
My dog requires a little petting when I first start a yoga practice. I was happy Beni was there too
Same. I love Benji!❤️
Have been binging again since this Holiday season came and trying to "correct" it thru restriction. Boy have I been going about it wrong. It came to me in the practice, my intention now is to Nourish. In all aspects- the exercise I do, the foods I eat, the music I listen to, the people I surround myself - is this nourishing me? Thanks for helping me hear my inner wisdom. Namaste.
Thank you for this positive and inspiring perspective....or, should I say, Namaste'
This is beautiful!
This will be my question to ask now. "Does this nourish me?" Good perspective.
Oooh nourish, I love that, great word thank you xx
YAY NAMASTE 🧘♀️💕
She's front page news in the UK. Things to do while in lockdown!
Woke up at 6am in the UK as this uploaded, and just went through this. Made me excited to wake up, and already off to a good start setting my intentions for the day. Thank you Adriene! Hope everyone has a nice day 🤗
You too Kate
I love how she uploads as soon as I wake up, it’s like she’s truly an angel ❤️
I enjoyed early yoga....but I could stretch better in the afternoon .!?
Thank you dear 😊, have a great one too 💜
I'm right with you, I woke up at 6am my time in the US just so I could do this before going into work. Grateful I did. Hope your day is wonderful!
I feel like some pieces are coming together for me. I have chronic muscle tension and last time I got a massage, the therapist said, "it's just not wanting to let go". That reached deep into my soul. And I asked my soul, "why don't you want to let go"? The response I got back was fear. So my intention since then, has been to "let go". I have been telling my subconscious - I know you have been trying to protect me, and you have done a great job. But it is time to let go now. We need to move on.
Focusing on the intention this practice, has released something inside me. It is small; it will take the letting go of lots of little bits and pieces before the fear is gone and I make it to peace. But one little bit has released today and it is leaving thru my eyeballs. Thanks again Adriene ❤️
Yoga with Adriene will really help!
This is beautiful... I can soooo relate. Whew! That fear is something else boy... fear will hold u hostage.... before know it ur stuck in the same spot feeling heavy while life passes u by... I almost didn’t do my practice today bc I didn’t feel up to it but after reading ur comment I’m getting on my mat. Thank you! ❤️
Ayverie Ablaze ❤️
This inspired me! Thank you.
I love how you ended your comment "But one little bit has released today and it is leaving thru my eyeballs". Beautiful writing. Wishing you the best.
Adriene, i am so grateful for you. been practicing your videos for over 2 years, and i was recently diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. i have undergone unsuccessful surgery, and am now being put through medical induced menopause at the age of 23. dealing with chronic pain and feeling weak/unlike myself has been such a struggle as i love to be active and do yoga. but today i was able to follow along this video for the first time in months. i may never be at the same active/health level i once was but i am so proud and grateful i was able to participate today. thankyou for making these videos
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Yes! Coffee, a glass of water and then unto the mat! Feels great 😊 btw my cat gets concerned everytime I lay on the floor with my eyes closed. I get checked on, with a wet nose and loud purring right in the face each time. ❤
Awwww, so sweet!
LOL you just reminded me...my dad always checks on my mom for vitals after shavasana 💀😂 🙌
I did an activity holiday earlier this year, one morning a god from a nearby cafe decided to gatecrash our morning yoga session. She made friends with everyone in turn and when we did corpse pose at the end she was initially concerned for her BFF but eventually lay down and did corpse pose with us.
My cat do the same! haha Sometimes when I put the laptop on the floor so I can watch the session, my cat sits on the mat and starts watching too! 😄
Haha same but it’s my cockatiel! The little pitter patter of his feet running across the floor and then the feeling of his little claws climbing up my shirt, open my eyes and there is a little beady eye staring at me confused 😂
I completed your Breath 30 day challenge and as I need the structure of a daily session, took your advice and have started this one for February. Thank you so much, daily practice has really eased my back issues.
Me too!
Same! Hello from the Midwest, USA :)
I'm in Herefordshire, UK
Me too! Hello from Canada :)
You are not alone in this New Journey!
Hello from Ukraine🇺🇦 :)
Adriene when i leave the mat i feel this abundance of energy and POSITIVITY in me and it makes me wants to get back to my desk and be productive.
Thankyou Adriene for this series, 🙏 my soul respects your soul🙏
Just finished and a brill way to head into a mega busy day - I intend to carry the energy from the mat to work...have a great day 😊
Me too, we are as one 😊🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏
Same here!! It really makes the rest of my day better :)

It's reassuring to see so many people starting off as late as I am
Just started now :)
Barely on day 2, but I'm loving it!
@@mitziarciga3094 I'm on day 2 as well :D
I'm on Day 2! 😊
I'm on day 2, too. Even later but at least we started. We got this
Hi to who ever might be reading this - although this is one of the „older“ YWA journeys:
The „Home“ series was my very first YWA I did and I have kept on sticking to my Yoga practice ever since. But there have always been times inbetween where life played hard. Times when I lost track of myself, loosing myself in the chaotic outside of life... But whenever life brings me down to my knees and I need a reset, I do the 30-days-of „Home“ journey. To bring myself back „home“ again literally. To center myself, to feel my body, heart and mind intensively and to turn inward to be able to stand steady again outward, too. I regard the „Home“ series as one of the best of all calenders and journeys I have practiced with YWA so far. Really roots and catches me up ever so softly but also intensively. Makes me feel ready to step outside into life strengthened and completly centered again. Thank you so much for this big big treasure, Adriene...from my 💛 to yours. And same thanks to the huge community out there all around the 🌏💫🌈
Beautifuly written! 🤗❤️😍👌🍀
I just started this journey yesterday. I felt like it started calling my name again and just found myself going home. My intention is to start showing up for myself every day here on. I am really blessed to read how this has helped transform you and how you continue moving along. Thank you
Checking the views before and after, there were around 7 thousand people joining me today! Such an amazing feeling! My intention is to find my inner power and confindence. What a beautiful practice today! Namaste! 🙏🏻
Incredible! Namaste, dear! xx
What a great idea, will do this next time too!
ah! Great idea!
About 5000 people doing it at the same time as me!
Ahh that's awesome!
I lost my practice towards the end of 2019 and I actually felt quite defeated after yesterday as my body didn't respond to me how it used to but after today I feel energised and accomplished!
feeling exactly the same! love it!
This is my EXACT feeling. I was pretty on top of it in Oct/Nov last year, but December hit me with illness and the holidays. Yesterday was TOUGH to start. Today felt like coming home (pun intended).
Same here !
Feeling the same here.
Same here. I gave myself december off no yoga no handstand practice no stretching nothing. Back to square one but I don’t mind it. Doing only the 30 day home practice and February I will pick up my other practices again. Sometimes it is good to give your body some rest.
Oh, my, Adriene. Did you have any idea how apt the name "Home" would be in 2020?
I wonder the same thinggg
Yes, I’ve been home for over 9 months now... but I am only on Day 2.
@@desertfamily7256 Me too, I'd tried some a few months ago and gave up - I'm trying again now. We can do this
This was amazing and perfect right before bed - I'm excited to commit to this for the month! I've never done yoga this consistently before and I'm a little nervous but definitely excited!
I feel you
You will love it and WE got this! Just did Day 2 and it's 2AM here. lol.
I’ve just done it before bed to...as I usually do. Lovely way to stretch, relax and get out of my head before bed. My intention this month is to really focus on cultivating my breath
@@helenbrunner7608 my intention is to really intend on good beginnings, to start every day on the right path
Same here! We can do it! Happy New Year ❤️
This is why I’m here. At 6pm on day 2 of yet another heatwave day in Australia facing down a day if emergency throughout our state and beyond with fires ringing our capital. The intent to be centred, grounded, kind to myself so I don’t give way to fear. So glad. 🙏❤️
May rain come soon and in plenty. I've been following the fire stories and I pray that your country finds relief soon.
Sending you good energy my friend. A couple months ago here in CA, we had wildfires burning close to our home and we had to evacuate. I remember it being a terrible feeling, and everything to the air and the people's moods were just so grey. Maintaining practice really helped me and I hope it will for you too 🙏
Kathryn MacDonald thank you!
Jay-Ram Rajendra ah I hope you didn’t lose your home. So many homes lost here and so many souls also gone. But also incredible stories of bravery and compassion. And yes this practice helps so much. Especially with a teacher like Adriene. 🙏
praying for your country!
I am so happy of having started this classes. I'm from Northen Italy, the region that is now being hit the most harshly by coronavirus; the situation here is awful. I am sad, stressed and frightened but these 20 minutes a day are incredibly regenerating both for the mind and the body. I can totally relax and make room for positive thoughts. I would have never thought that yoga could help so much.
Thank you Adriene for making those lessons available for free!
Spent the whole practise unable to decide what it is I actually do intend, which is in it's self, interesting.Thanks!
Same! I caught myself panicking when we were going to pick our intentions and was very grateful when she suggested one in the end. Glad I am not the only one, haha. Have a great day!
And that is ok too! xx
@@chocolatecurls94 same
same! happy Im not the only one :)
It’s okay to not know what your intentions are. They will appear and become clear with time.
If yesterday felt a little slow, today I was reminded how much I need this to become stronger. Love the planks, but man they're not easy! Thank you, Adriene!
shout out to anyone starting this up again under quarantine!
I am catsitting an adorable little kitty who, as soon as I rolled out my mat, started clawing at it. So my intention today is: I choose to cultivate patience. :p
Happy day 2 friends
Yes! My kitty started clawing at my mat which was to expensive to be torn up just yet. So I got said kitty his own mat to sprawl out on next to me! It’s an old crummy mat so he can do whatever he pleases with it 😂. But those ankle attacks during mountain pose are what will really test me! 🙏
@@kaseyboyce4388 yesssss! Also, weird that we have the same last name...
My cat likes to use me as a jungle gym whenever I practice yoga. I think she has as much fun as I do!
My cat is doing the same over here! I guess dogs are better yoga companions 😂
I'm house-sitting a dog! Lol...these sweet pets love YWA too! 💞
Yay child pose with a shark fin! My favourite! This was brilliant, I feel so awake and stretched out now, just what I needed!
It's my favourite too!! Such a good fun stretch
Mine too!
llynnnn shark finn namaste is my new favourite child’s pose :)
🦈💕
I LOVE shark fin
I'm on the 3rd month of quarantine and although I'm late to this challenge, this has definitely helped me keep calm and mindful so far :D
I'm 5 days behind from you ! Hope you re doing great during this journey !
3d month? wow
where are you in the world?
I just started!
After feeling disappointed with the stiffness in my back yesterday, my intention was to love and accept myself fully for where I am right now. By the end of the practice, I was learning to love and accept how much strength I already have. I got quite emotional during the extended child's pose! This is helping me to become so aware of the posture I hold throughout the day and I cannot wait to see the improvement! Thank you Adriene!
it feels so good to realize how strong our body can be. Moving with love
Yes! I’m always surprised how much my body (and I)can do when I just get out of my own way.
starting late, but am on day 2 :”
today was a little harder than yesterday and i struggled with the planks but i’m proud of myself for making it through. i feel like today’s lesson to intend was really helpful for me and allowed me to solidify my decision to “get healthy”. i am so thankful that i have access to content like this.
hope to continue with my best >_
Am with you on that... Started today! Keep going Me 🙂
What does it mean to get healthy?
Keep going! I`m on my third challenge (started in April) and it`s crazy how my body already changed without me noticing! My whole body including my core is so much stronger! Just take it step by step, day by day and in no time you`ll notice a difference.
My intention is to simply be my own friend. To stop beating myself up mentally and be honest not judgmental like I would be for any of my friends. I really focused on that during this practice and sometimes Slipped but I learning. And that's what this year journey that I'm embarking on is about I guess, it's silly but I've just realized that. Love from France, Namaste
I’ll admit. This one kicked my butt a little bit. Middle of last year I would have walked a practice like this. Though lately I have been struggling with mental health issues and lost my motivation and confidence with yoga. This series has come at the best time and although today was hard, I know that continuing to show up for myself on the mat can only be beneficial. Can’t thank you enough for what this channel continues to do for so many around the world ✨💕 so much love to everyone on this journey ❤️
Me, too! You're not alone. You still fucking did it, though! So....how dope are you?!
Day 32 for me after completing Breath. Not sure if you had any idea how appropriate the title HOME would be for 2020, but it still applies in 2021. So awesome to continue this journey with everyone here. Loved hearing Benji walking around in the beginning today. My dog decided he should curl up in my lap while I was seated. Dogs make yoga more special!
Perfect Upload Time for Germans and Yoga in the Morning. With my Intention set I am ready to go for the day 😊 see ya'll tomorrow 😘 stay lifted 🤗
I always feel much more flexible in the evenings so I enjoy the practice more when I do it at night! But I like to have a look at the video in the morning. Just to see what awaits me in the evening! Best wishes from one German to another :)
I find the timing, too perfect for us in Germany, Europe in general. Stay lifted and intentional and see you tomorrow! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
totally, it's great to start the day with these yoga sessions! really excited to follow this journey for the next couple of weeks
@@Jannyl13 I experienced that I am more flexible in the evenings too 🤗. But during the week yoga in the morining wakes me up and feel very good about myself 🌻- but - every day my body feels different and I try to do what feels right. 😊
@@EvaPforr See you tomorrow 🌻🌈🧘♀️🧘🏽♀️🧘🏾♀️🧘🏿♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏼♀️
"I intend to show up for myself"
As my arms began to shake or my abs begged me to lay back down -
"I show up for myself" I would repeat.
Then hold the position until it was time to move on..
This was a powerful message today.
Rea Mills mine was similar today. “I can do this and I can do anything” with shaky breath through those planks. But we did it !
It’s never too late to start anything. Just started doing this practice and I am on Day 2.
I just started this practice and I am so happy to see other people who did as well!
Whenever you begin, is the right time.
Here am I as well, in the eternal now, of course, where else? Bless those recordings...
Welcome to all the other ones practicing with Adriene whenever they do.
when the yoga ended and started the music, I cryed. It's such a emotional thing for me. Thank you Adriene for changing our lives this way 😌🙏🏻✨
the music is emotional
It happens to me in every video and I thought I was the only one💔 This journey to myself is really emotional to me and I suppose it happens the same to you, so sending loooots of love from Spain! We got this!!:)
Cristina Espinosa Ohhhhh 💕 yes dear, it's really a journey into ourselfs and I'm so glad for this! sending looots of love for you too, I'm from Brazil 😙 besos
Same!!!!! Balling😭😂🧘♀️💕
This happens to me too. It feels like some kind of release. And I love it 💕
After a whole night of (PTSD) nightmares and struggeling to get out of bed, I had some doubt showing up on the mat today. The first couple of minutes I catched myself mostly worrying and panicking that "it wasn't working", but after a few minutes that thought went away and now I feel so much better and ready to take on my day. Thank you so much Adriene!
Just finished your 30 days Breath and here I go again with Home my routine is getting part of my life now! Thank you Adriene God Bless you!
Hearing Benji's little feet walking
I found such a HUGE smile on my face, couldn't believe it! Thank you for all you give us! 😄
You too Adriene!!😉
I choose to intend joy in my everyday life. From drinking my coffee to running errands - I want to see joy in the little things in my daily routine which makes getting up special each day. I woke up very excited to start my yoga with Adriene; setting the right intentions for myself! Happy 2020!
Yesss! All of this! Beautiful. xx
JOY - the first word that came into my mind, when Adriene said, we should choose an intention. And it stayed the whole practice. I choose joy. ❤️
So many people doing this practice alongside me, wow! I am happy to be cultivating this intention, this desire to not only return home, but to care for the home we have here. Namaste
My dog was laying on the end of my yogamatt the whole time and at the end when I was breathing deeply, totally relaxed, she layed her head down next to mine and she sighed, also totally relaxed 💖
“I choose to be the best version of myself.”
Ditto 🙂
I've been sitting too much for work and no yoga to my detriment ☹️. I am doing Home again because it will gently get me back to where I was. I love your sequential days to work different muscle groups so it is easy to continue every day. Plus I love and NEED the hip stretch segments. Thank you so much for your wonderful collection!! I wish you all the happiness and health you give to the world!🙂 Dallas, NC
Here after completing the Breath 30 Day Challenge yesterday. Looking forward to working through "Home" at home during another lockdown in Canada!
I also just finished Breath and decided to begin with “Home” today to stay with wonderful energy and momentum of this daily practice! I’ll be joining you from Greece - Namaste 🙏💫
I'm with you, Lydia. We are both in Canada. Wasn't Day 2 such a beautiful and reassuring session. I love my time on the mat each morning with Adriene guiding our moves.
Also coming from the end of Breath and in Canada!! Woohoo, let's do this!!
Everyone ready for day 2? You got this! 👍☺
I got to day 2 of this before Christmas and I was all aboard the intention train. I sat down in front of my wood burning stove and got about 5 mins into this video when I started to smell something bad.... cut to 10 mins later and I was up a ladder and on the roof pouring water down my chimney to put out a serious chimney fire. Suffice to say even the very brilliant Adriene could not help me find inner peace that day. That's a true story.
I'm back now though and really enjoying it. Thanks Adriene, you rock. See you tomorrow on day 3.
Thank you so much Adriene and everyone involved, all levels of support crew, thank you for making such great content and accessible to all us around the world. I have been waiting for "HOME" for so long, it's just what I need rn to pull myself out of this fuuuunnkkk.
Sending you love & light from Minnesota 🥰💛
🙏
Guys your comments make me believe in humanity again! ❤❤
I know Adrienne stuff are always great but reading comments before starting the practice makes me feel connected to you and open to receive and change. 😇
Same ❤
I always like to check out the comments before I start practicing; it always helps me feel connected to a larger community!
Thank YOU Adriene and Benji for your valuable time and presence in our lives 🙏🏽❤️🐶 Day 2 full of intention, waw!
9 am in Moscow ☀️
Thank you, Adriene, it's an amazing practice 💗
Have a good day, everyone 🌿
Same to you friend :)

Have a good day too!
Moscow, woop woop 🙌Same here
I'm 24 and my body feels like 87 years old, I'm really into meditation but now that I'm getting good at it I realized that my mind cannot feel great in this body. I've been looking for an excuse to move my body and yesterday I tried this challenge, my body was aching everywhere but I immediately felt empowered, energized, cared for. I hope I won't forget to do the entire challenge, keep you updated
I felt similarly but now I am 2 months into doing yoga every day. Keep at it! Things change and you'll notice progress every day!
Home exactly what we all need right now! 🙏
Adriene, You are a miracle worker! That was the most beautiful session....so peaceful, so optimistic, so reassuring. I simply LOVE spending time with you....each morning. Big hug!
We repeated day 1 and will definitely have to repeat day 2 as well. It went so much faster but with new poses like 3 legged dog that I could barely get into before we were moving on. I felt like I scrambled to keep up and not fall over for half of it instead of focusing on intent and breathing.
I don't mind redoing them, though. I'm showing up for myself. That's a great thing.
Thank you Adriene... Salut from Egypt... Love it and my Cocker spaniel sleeps and snores hearing your calming and peaceful voice!
It really warms my heart to see so many lovely, kind people coming together for this practice. Thank you so much for being with me. I'm beyond humbled and grateful! ✨
Day 2 in the books! Feels so good to start a new journey with the experience of breath!
Dear Adriene, Thank you for Day 2 Yoga in your home with your gorgeous calm dog Benji. Today was my second day ever of Yoga. I am 55 and not quite as flexible and strong as you but your calming gentle voice and ever present smile encourages me to follow your advice and take my intention further. Today was easier than yesterday perhaps because of that thought being present during the exercises. I listen to your every word and one phrase popped :”Be kind.” so i realised i need to be kind to myself during the exercises! so i was. Tomorrow i shall return for Day 3. Namaste.
Had a moment too good not to share today. I’m usually not good with the abstract mental aspect of yoga like setting an intent so today I said “to feel good.” And what do you know, after 3 months of regular yoga practice, my heels came comfortably down to the ground without any forcing during downward dog. And it felt GOOD. Thank you YWA for consistently giving me something to feel good about.
Day 2 on 2.2.21! I just practiced with 156 other people -- hello! Sending everyone warm wishes this February
Anyone else loving these yoga videos during quarantine?!
I have been struggling with depression and anxiety and have felt so out of touch with my mind and body. This is my first yoga challenge and even though it’s only been two days, I feel incredible. I leave my mat feeling positive and refreshed. THANK YOU❣️
I gotta say... 2019 was a rough year for me and I lost touch of my 'home.' I've been an avid follower for years and it feels so good to 'bring it back home.'
I don't know about everyone else, but this has been the best theme yet for me.
Thank you so much and namaste to you and everyone in the community 🤗🤗
Home is resonating with me. I'm feeling very grateful it's this years theme. 🧘♀️💓🙏

@@CalebVanSetten extremely. A friend gave me a frame that says home at the bottom and it's just a picture of me. I definitely have left home in search of answers elsewhere. And yet, I was Home all along. I do have some tidying up to do, however! 🙄😉

Good morning to all my fellow peeps following up Breath with Home :) hope you have a great day
have a great day!! proud of you and everyone else doing this journey too :))
I ended the video than i start crying without any reason and i let myself get as emotional as possible i felt really great i believe that i released what was holding me back from my intention, thank you so much adriene i'm so grateful for for today's lesson, it's really so important that we keep in mind our intention during all the journey 💚❤ namaste
J-vibes subliminal I cried day 1 and 2!! Thought I was crazy but it felt so good!
I love that moment of release.
I was feeling right and tense at the beginning of the video. As you would say, a bit of a “Yoga robot,” but after the moment where we were breathing in mountain pose, everything just fell into place, and my body started responding and working more fluidly. Thanks as always for doing these 30 day challenges.
Going back through HOME in the month of March 2022. Part of my year long journey of yoga. A 30 day journey every month.
Going through it again in November. Almost a whole year of yoga daily.
Love how passionate everyone in this community is and January always feel like a month in which we all connect even more. :)
Home, what a comforting word.
following you since 2016, we are at third...(ish) lockdown here in Italy...you are saving my Christmas...blessing to you and to this beautiful community
Being in the present moment. A colossal challenge for my mind.
Kimberly Marqui Same 😩We will get there.
Who else just looooves the music from this series?? It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it
Thank you Adriene for having all our backs
Only just found this it’s Christmas Day and just completed my day 2. We are in full lockdown and this has reconnected me to my love of yoga
Thank you feeling blessed xx🙏❤️🎄
Loved this aside at minute 16. I'm adding this to my journal for today:
"The more we practice moving with intentions and thoughtfulness, the more likely we are to have these tools when we need them the most. On the mat, in a hard posture or on a day when we didn’t really want to show up or off the mat when we become angry or upset - do we have the practice under our belt to be thoughtful; to pay attention to recognize that our thoughts and words are important and our intentions can cultivate or amplify the things we want to manifest. This versus just being in a reactive state all the time."
Anyone else on day 2 today? I’m a little behind!
I’m on Day One. I’m sure there are lots of us here too! Didn’t realize it was simultaneous!
I'm just on Day 2 today!
I'm on day 2 also! No rush, we will get through the 30 days on our own time! Hope you had a good practice!
I'm on day 2 today haha, I thought of posting the same and then I saw your post 😊
I'm even further behind you, but enjoying every moment of this practice!
Just finished breath and starting this journey, I am a beginner and she says welcome to your 30 day yoga journey, I feel like I am being genuinely gently guided in to my life time of yoga journey, I am normally correct about feelings when I see things and I feel like nothing but love and success in the future for this lady, namaste 🙏🏻
My intention for the next 30 days is simply "action." I have a lot of things that I want to see happen in my creative and professional journey, and now is the time to take action to see these things manifest, rather than just ruminating on them. The same is true in my yoga journey; I want to get stronger and make yoga a more consistent part of my morning, so quite literally, by taking this 30 day challenge, I am taking "action."
Thank you for a great video! I hope everyone is having a blessed day! :)
Yoga was in my weekly routine when I was in my 30s after my 2nd child was born. Now in my 40s, I started to have body aches and as a teacher, I knew what I had to do for myself. I am thankful that I found these videos. Thank you!
My intention is to grow and deepen my self-confidence through loving movement. I love how Adriene reminds us to come back to our intention so many times throughout the video. It helps me stay grounded in the reason I am here. Sometimes, I get caught up with how well I can create a shape or if I'm doing my yoga "right." My intention and breath remind me that this is a journey, and I can't wait to see how I feel at the end of this month!
This was so calming, thank you Adriene❤️ You always seem to know exactly what is needed. Yesterday I treated myself to a proper yoga mat after months of working on a short, slippery gym mat (thank you for supporting me, mat, now I will go on :) and it is a blessing! I am not slipping in downward dog, plank or other poses anymore, it is so much better, I am so happy! Now I can even practice with socks on when it is cold😁 Wishing everyone an awesome day. I'll be here tomorrow. Namaste🙏
I am from Spain and i suffer from depression and anxiety so being in quarentine is making me feel so stuck in a negative state of mind so ive decided to try this home series and for now those 2 days im feeling more relaxed ☀️☺️
I’ve been feeling lost lately, anxious and insecure. Not like myself at all. Although I’ve been taking care of my body by exercising and eating right, I forgot to take proper care of my mind and unable to connect body and mind. Your videos are a blessing Adriene. Thank you so much.
And also a huge thanks to the ywa community. Reading the comments warms my heart, makes me feel less alone and inspire me that I deserve to show up for myself.
I intend to trust. Trust the universe that it’ll all work out the way it’s supposd to. Trust that I’m right where I’m supposed to be. Trust that I’m working hard enough, and that it’s enough. Trust that I am enough. Trust my instincts. And trust that I’ll find my way back to me, to my true home.
Much love x
I am rocking the home series 🧡 Love setting intentions. Learning to do daily as a guide for my heart each day! TYA!
good morning everyone 😍 good morning adriene ❤ its going to be a great day❤have fun everyone ❤namaste❤
7am on the West Coast of Ireland, love the pace of this one. Managed to balance the cat on my back from plank through down dog to forward fold somehow? 😻😉
I did the 30 day challenge and now I'm working on this one. I think one of the reasons I love it so much is that in days where I constantly have music playing or a video on in the background, this is the only time I really sit with myself and appreciate existence without distraction.
I choose to be kind to myself, not only during this practice but during 2020 ❤️
Day 2 done of home... I am now sweaty... I was struggling to get to the mat today. I am glad I chose to come today. Thank you Adriene. Namaste
I'm supported by the universe, is my affirmation!
*Home - Day 2 :* (after)noon session
Gosh those planks! My wrists and forearms were so tight yesterday today I struggled to find what feels good during the first few planks but the last one felt so amazing!
Loving today's practice I'm so sweaty 😂
Can't wait for tomorrow! Peace and love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Namaste ❤️
I feel the same way
"Breath" saw me through a difficult March '22. I'm leaving this practice tonight, with a big smile on my face! Thanks Adriene and everyone out there to see me through a rough patch. Full of new found energy for the next thirty days, even if a little later than most here.😃😃
I feel so much less alone knowing I have so many yoga buddies out there. During this time of "social distancing" we are able to gather! Thank you Adriene and everyone out there.
My mom and I are feeling lonely being at opposite ends of the country. We just started this together and I feel so much closer to her. Thank you. :)
