less than a minute in right after Adriene said "sit nice and tall" i didn't realize but my video froze... i was dead ass sitting there in silence meditating for a few minutes like wow Adriene's so awesome having us dive right into it.. eventually after a while I peaked at the screen and realized my video was frozen! lol i trust Adrienne too much!
I found today’s practice difficult and frustrating, but I realise that this is okay. I need to remember that I’ve made it 8 days in a row, and that I can continue to make progress with each day.
This was the first of the series where I got stuck. I was tight, stressed and ended up sore and spitting venom by the end. Stillness, mindfulness, and tight backs of the legs are breaking me. I came back to day8 a few days later and was able to get through with a calmer mind going in. I'm going to practice day8 several times a week, I want to work up to being able to do this on a bad day. I hated the first time through, restarted it and the first thing Adrienne says is "Don't Hate"... I've got a lot to learn lol
Day 8 was great. Today was like an emotional cleansing. I cried on the floor at the end a little bit. I am feeling more present each day. That inner child, teacher, guide is coming out spontaneously. I'm enjoying this. En joy ing life more. Thank you. Yoga is not just for girls. Us guys have a lot to learn here and now. Thank you thank you thank you.
Yep me too, it was the stuff about going back to when we were kids and it's all about you...I think, Adrienne is like a hug we need sometimes :) So funny how we all think it's just us. I went down the comments right away to see what others said and sure enough, there were others like me! ❤
Wow, I never look at youtube comments, because there's always so many nasty people, but I've never seen a community so positive and supportive. Love it!
Agreed. I haven't read the comments for the other videos because I was nervous haha. This was the first day I read the comments and I was very pleasantly surprised.
Me tooooo! Gosh! I am on my 8th day and this is my first time of commenting here but I have a ritual of reading the comments before I practice. Makes me feel so connected to everyone in this amazing community. 🤗❣️
Thank you Adriene for the consistent reminders to relax the shoulders and lift the heart! Every time you said it, I realized I needed the nudge! Someday I'll get them down on my own, but for now your gentle reminders are the best!
Quarantined from NY! Can’t believe it took a pandemic for me to sit down and listen to my body. I have been yearning for this attention without even knowing it. Thank you Adriene for making this time alone as enjoyable as possible ❤️
I feel this. Growing up, yoga was my favorite thing on Wii sports. Years later, I think about it everyday and never do it. Finally, we're locked up and I told myself "no more excuses."
Savvy 👏🏽 that’s awesome! I’m glad you’re getting back to it. Im sure you’ll love it this time round too. Honestly, I don’t know if we’ll ever get this time granted again. What is happening is horrible but on the flip side it has granted us time to work on ourselves ❤️
I'm stuck in NYC too!!! I've been doing yoga every day as part of my morning routine. Glad you got what your body was looking for! If you want a smile, I made a rewrite of part of your world I call quarantine world. It's a sweet little song on my channel. Give a listen! keep doing yoga!!
It's surprising for me that I can reach for my ankle in the pigeon pose very easily, but when it comes to some kind of a forward fold I can't place my hands further than on the thighs... It's like bending back is the easiest thing in the world, but bending forward is impossible. I hope it'll get better with time :)
Yoga really points out your strengths and weaknesses doesn't it. It is the never ending practice. There is always something to improve on. That is why I love it so much.
Same here! i have never been able to bend forward and touch my toes without bending my knees, but during pigeon pose today, i challenged myself and found i could touch my ankle!
This is literally the first time in my 25,5 years that I engaged my body for 8 days in a row - because this actually makes me feel better afterwards!! And it's not easy - my abs still sting when I cough from 2 days earlier! Thank you so much Adriene! :)
Gorgeous! I love how you balance these videos. "OK so we've done some harder work over the last couple of days, time for some restorative practice". It's what makes you such an great teacher. You can give us balance - especially when we struggle to find it for ourselves. What a beautiful gift, Namaste.
Yes my friend. I love your feedback Kate. Thank you for sharing. It makes sense if we want to maintain health, wealth, happiness and a good body. BALANCE.
Only this year I truly realised it's all about the BALANCE. I chose it to be my theme/ word of the year and I want everything I do to reflect it. Thank you Adriene!
Can't even explain how much I needed that after the past couple of days! Never thought I'd be able to grab my ankle in pigeon pose but I did!!! Still can't get my crow to fly but at least one of my birds was singing!
+Yoga With Adriene coming back to this a year later and this has to be one of my favourite practices - pigeon has become a fave. Crow still eludes me but I know it's on the horizon [reeeeally far away]. Thanks for this :)
You know it is a fantastic video when the session felt like 10 minutes rather than 25+. Thank you for sharing your yoga practice with us on RUclips Adriene!
Being in isolation these days I decided to give yoga a go. Found your channel and I couldn't stop coming back. This is the first time in years I committed to a daily act of self care, and I can't stress what a lovely and supportive instructor you are. Thank you Adriene, thank you so much!
Intuit day 6! There is something so magical about this practice: the stretches, deep breaths, music, even Adriene’s outfit instantly make you so relaxed. This is definitely my favorite slow practice now. I cannot thank Adriene enough, so grateful for this channel. Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💜💜💜
At the end, when we are just lying and she keeps talking; reminds me of my college roommate. Ah! we could blabber endless about anything and everything in our heart and mind. Though in a different continent, she is my sweetheart, my best friend.
This was the best episode so far. Felt so much conennection and peacefulness but you also brought smile to my face with your playful comments. And I said "maybe today is the day" and here we go I was holding my feet in my hand, and I was so proud. wooow. Thank you Adriene, amazing guided yoga, the best actually! :)
My favourite day so far :) It's incredible how 30 minutes on the mat can change so much in my thinking and feeling. I feel so peaceful and relaxed and am really proud of what I could achieve today, even though I couldn't do some of the poses. Thank you so much for this beautiful practice :) Namaste :)
my practice today was magical, sooo relaxing. It was thundering and raining and the meditative music in the background made me feel so calm. Im very glad i rolled my mat out today
+amyn0va I've been struggling with crow for ages! Granted I did take a long break from yoga so I was rusty to begin with when I started the 30 Days (love you Adriene!), but I'm pretty much exactly where I've always been with crow... super shaky, lucky if I get a toe off the ground. So some day! Good luck with your practice :)
I love all of the day 8 practices, but there is something magical about this first one that keeps me coming back to it even years later. It's like I have a specific mood for this exact video and nothing else hits quite right then. Thank you Adriene ❤
at 3:01 you said "bringing the focus in towards your breath" and I burped so loud! For a second I felt really rude, but realised I only feel that way, 'cause it's ingrained in me to feel that way! Then I smiled and felt a release. Adrienne, your yoga is inspiring and life changing. I have started doing your challenge, plus another video every day. I don't know when I last felt so great. Thank you from the crown of my head to the bottom of my heel.
Yay its a new video / practice for me As I tune inwards to INTUIT (listen to the guts...) What I am Who I am What I truly need - want - thrive towards Thanks for this flow as again, intuitive Adriene and her mojo (knowing what hits the spot!) for allowing / creating space (for me to return to self) Namaste to all practising and May you find healing and inner calm from within
That was a absolutely beautiful yoga practice, thank you Adriene. Before the practice I was stressed and frustrated, I really wasn't happy. But now I feel relaxed, and in a much better place. 😌 thank you so much Adriene for the wonderful gift of yoga, it truly is life changing . Namaste my friend. 🙏 💙
Today I found it hard to do yoga and meditate. My mind was on work. But then I realized how much fear I was letting into my life instead of love, and now I have changed. Thank you all and much love and namaste :)
a gift, timed perfectly. Today I was holding on to a lot of sadness. These poses opened my heart and allowed me to release that sadness. It's ok to be sad sometimes, but how wonderful to have a tool to open the heart and confront those feelings, rather than allowing them to fester. Yoga has so much potential to connect the body, heart and mind, if one is prepared to move into the difficulty, whether that challenge is in the body mind or heart.
Thoughts I have while doing this video: -I need to clean this floor -Why is there so much cat hair on my pajamas, damn you coco -AWW yeah that feels great -Ouch that hurts -Should I be praying or something -Can I release now IM DYING!, Oh wait the internet isnt working.
+aneeqa ali Pretty much same here. - Goddammit, I need to vacuum. - FFS cats, leave me alone for 30 minutes. - Aw, you're trying to bonk my knees and hands because you think yoga is about petting you. - Man my hips are unusually tight today. - MMMMM. - Uh oh, crow. HELP.
I think it's just very beautiful, that all around the world people are following this challenge and can engage in the comments. I normally don't comment, but I just wanted to say Thank you Adriene for uploading these videos!
Hello! Anyone doing this in 2021 I’m here with you. Today was great. I did what was in my comfort zone and let myself grow into these stretches. Loving this 30 day series.
Day 17 of quarantine in the Uk.. not sure if I’m doing it 100% right but I’m getting stronger and I’m learning the poses and names as you say them without looking at the television now!!
The guidance to get into crow allowed me to finally do it! For 3 seconds ha ha ha. 🎉and doing pigeon with the leg up by looking at my back foot really helped get me there.
I usually really have anxiety problems and I've only been doing yoga with you for about a week and I feel very different. I can never wait to get home and do yoga, because it really makes me feel good and relaxed. Thank you so much!
I never usually comment on videos but I'm SO grateful, Adriene. You're helping me go through a major depression (watching from France) and everyday it is so great to see you again and focus on myself, my body, my presence in this world, all thanks to your incredible kindness, authenticity, sweetness. You're a rare person, Adriene, thank you so much.
I live in Istanbul, Turkey so i recieve the #30DaysOfYoga videos at 8am. I like starting the day with yoga and looooved today's practice so much. I think i will come back to this session a lot in the future :))
Yoga With Adriene someone else is watching you from Turkey- Me and my 4 year old son from neighbour city- Kocaeli! He categories your videos by the color of your t-shirt- we will do the pink tonight, we did blue, right mum? Thank you so much making this videos for those who dont have yoga studios were they live! :).
It took me 8 days of yoga practice (and I'm completly new at this) to finally smile. Every other day when Adrienne told us to smile I was like: nope, I'm not at work, I won't force myself to smile. Today I FINALLY smiled on my own, happy, relaxed and greatful.
This video came at the right moment for me. Was feeling especially vulnerable and lonely tonight (guy problems). I'm just wondering if it will ever end and whether I truly will get to experience true love...This video helped me get out of head a little. Hope it helps others too :)
It took me nearly two months to finish the 2024 30 day flow, but I've decided that I want to keep it going for the rest of the year! So I went back to this very first one for the month of March and I'm very excited to have the momentum
This is the second time that i do this video when i get a migraine and within a few minutes of the practice it is just gone and i am so eternally grateful for this adrienne!!!
This was soooooooo good, I'm usually a very messy person. This morning I took the time to make my bed this morning and enjoy cleaning it up while being in the moment.
Last time I did this practice, like a year ago, I was in a proud "some day pose" but today I tried again and surprised myself by bringing that leg up with ease! The power of daily home yoga practice, truly!
Oh wow, today introduced me to my favorite yoga pose thus far: pigeon pose. My hips have never enjoyed a pose so much. I can't believe it was 30 minutes, that felt like ten. I'm definitely going to have to come back to this one.
I'm overweight and I started this as a challenge to see how far Ill keep the practice. Well it has surprise me that although at time the poses can be a bit challenging I just crave for more. Thank you for the opportunity.
After today's practice when I laid down at the end I was suddenly overcome with emotion and began to sob for probably 5 minutes. I'm not sure how but I opened up a part of me that I normal keep stuffed down with emotions and stress I do not what to deal with. Thank you Adrienne.
I never realized what I like about your videos so much, but after completing day 8 it really touched me to see that authentic devotion you have to the practice (you believe in it). Too many youtube yogi's out there seem to be doing what they do for the money and/or fame. It's just refreshing to see that you truly believe in what you do. Today's practice literally left me in tears from all the pent up emotions I hold carry inside on a day to day basis. Keep doing what you do Yoga With Adriene ! It's truly revolutionary!
I am on day 8 and I enjoyed the healing and meditation session! It made me so calm and meditative! Thank you for this 30 day challenge! More power to you! 🙏💪😊
I had an episode of paranoia and anxiety right before this exercise. It all faded away latest when I realized I was able to lift my foot with ease and hold it - this pose and the squatting really helped me connect to myself and let my fear go. Thank you so much for this.
Just wanted to let you know how therapeutic this journey has been for me. This video especially. I sobbed on the mat towards the end. Happy tears, though. It was an emotional release I didn't know I needed. You're incredible Adriene
This was exactly what I needed today. Felt anxious and overwhelmed right when I woke up, and almost didn't come on the mat because I thought I wasn't in the right mindset. This practise helped me get into the right mindset, and I'm ready to take on my day. Thank you Adriene, you have changed my outlook on yoga in just 8 days. Much love, Namaste. x
I love the way you combine this really serious love for yoga with all those funny and light-hearted detours into pop culture references. Thank you so much for always finding such a sweet balance!
Was kinda hoping there'd be at least one of these I could hang with, and this totally delivered. I feel better than I have in months. Hung out in extended child's pose for the second round of squatting and the LOLNO pose (oops, I mean 'crow pose'); I don't know if there's a better counter-pose, but a nice long child's pose always feels good. Thank you for an awesome practice, Adriene.
Kyle, I've noticed your comments multiple times under lovely Adriene's videos and I just wanted to tell you that they always make me chuckle, you're so funny! Thank you for that, seriously. Namaste!
Kyle S. The "LOLNO pose" hahaha I feel the same! XD But trying to work towards it, it's just a bit scary & I think I'm too weak at the moment. But one day, one day. Right, haha!? Take care =)
Sunsets And Love One day for sure. And when another one pops up in a video and freaks me out and makes me go NOPE (which I will say out loud--yay, home practice), at least I'm laughing instead of raging. That's serious progress in my world.
I'm always worried about time so when I saw this was almost 30 minutes I was convinced I would only do 15 minutes then come back to it, but I got so into it and before I knew it I did the whole thing-and I'm so glad for it! Thanks Adriene for helping me slow down and just, well, breathe. :)
I have never practiced yoga before; now I´m on day 8 with Adriene and I´m really liking it! But I have to admit that I´m feeling a little bit frustrated because I´m not flexible at all... but I hope that with time and practice I can get better. Has anybody felt like this? Please tell me I´m not the only one! ;) Thanks! :D
Good to read comments like this as I resonate completely. I like how Adrienne regularly explains we’ll all be at different places but I’m truly shocked by how little I can do some days. It can only get better 🤞🏼
I have never felt so fantastically amazing in my life. Managed to do the one legged pigeon pose easily, really struggled with some others but I can feel how much more flexible I am getting every day and as a person with short, tight tendons and very limited flexibility for most of my life it's really exciting. Loved the music and the guided meditation. Feel so soothed and at ease.
So, here goes. I've been doing some of your videos and felt like I should really comment about my feelings. Everytime I do them, I always have this thought that even though I will feel relaxed afterwards, it won't keep me from being stressed out. But you know what, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I feel so refreshed, good, and relaxed. I literally feel down to Earth. Girl, I don't know what you're doing but pleaaase, keep going! Namaste (:
Great Meditation I really needed this today. After the past 2 days I am sore and this really stretched me out and it was very relaxing. So ready for day 9 tomorrow! Namaste!
This was exactly what I needed today. 4 minutes into the practice, I had to stop the video because I was crying. I'm great at escaping and numbing my emotions until I sit down, and really FEEL my body and soul with your practice- which forces me to release the pain I carry inside. So tired of the endless cycles of ADD, depression and self loathing. Exhausted from trying to land a solid career, be a productive person and learn to use my time better. So tired of feeling like an inadequate mom, wife and human being. So tired of feeling like an unworthy, unloveable mess. Thank you for giving us the space to release, love and nurture ourselves. I always feel stronger after 'spending some time' with Adrienne.
I Just had to leave a comment before the practice... This is soooo nostalgic! This was my first 30 day challenge with you about 3 years ago. This is where it all started. It was so hard, I didn't know any "shapes" and their names, I had to look constantly what you are doing, I made some huge (painful) mistakes because I didn't understand much. And now I'm kinda proud I kept coming back so I can be here for for the fifth month of every day practice in 2020. You are the best teacher on yt, thank you for all your videos, jokes, catching us when we fall 😊 Namaste!💚
This is my second lap around the pool with the 30 day yoga program and I'm so happy to have come back to this video. I feel 100x better just mentally and physically right now. Lord knows I did not the first time around haha. Thank you so much Adriene, your confidence and go with the flow vibes really had an affect on me and my yoga performance and how I use my breath. I'm no longer looking at the video to mimic your form, I'm too busy doing what feels good. You are really transforming lives. Have an awesome day, ~ Namaste.
Today I’m going into work for the first time after lockdown of schools in England. I’m a keyworker so need to be in with our vulnerable children. We all work on a rota system so have been home feeling safe the last week. I was feeling scared and anxious about going out. Today I hung my head and shook out all my worries and anxieties and now feel calm and positive for my day ahead. I also for the first time ever caught hold of my foot!! Now that is a positive! Stay safe lovely people xxxxx
I was feeling very resistant to doing day 8 today, but felt relieved as I got into it and realized it was more of a slow, restorative practice! As you said, energizing practices are great, but some days you need to take it slow! This is just what I needed today on Day 8
whooshhh this was nice. challenging, because I'm stiff, but felt so light afterward. Also, today was my 1st time being grateful and enjoying the downward-facing dog. And I'm surprised for being consistent with the practices.
Ive been at it for 8 days now, and I honestly feel really great! I was at work today, and I seriously felt stronger! Some of it is hard, but all of it is so good for the body. I suffer from all sorts of different pain related issues on the daily, and I feel like, if I keep going, that I will, without a doubt, benefit greatly! Thank you so much!
I feel stronger, too! I was going up and down the stairs today and my core felt completely solid because of the ab-focused workout from a day or two before. Can't wait to see how I feel by day 30 :)
After this I felt so saved I that I wanted to cry from happiness. This was pure magic, you're lifesaver Adriene! Cheers from the snowy and dark winter of Finland, keep it up! :) Almost 6 months of yoga now with max 2 day breaks between the practices. :D
less than a minute in right after Adriene said "sit nice and tall" i didn't realize but my video froze... i was dead ass sitting there in silence meditating for a few minutes like wow Adriene's so awesome having us dive right into it.. eventually after a while I peaked at the screen and realized my video was frozen! lol i trust Adrienne too much!
that is awesome and hilarious!
@@hannahhayes3841 i had a GOOD laugh at myself lololl
I've done exactly that with before!!!!
That happened to me before too 😂
The same happened to me lol😂😂
Anyone else here in 2024 for the new year? 🎉🧘🏾♀️✨
My heels touched the floor on downward facing dog today! Namaste everyone :)
namaste brother
And me first time today
omg same i'm happy 😂 i didn't even notice it but i tried it and i can do it how cool
so I saw this comment and immediately tried.. OMG Me too, this is sooo exciting
I am very close too :-)
I found today’s practice difficult and frustrating, but I realise that this is okay. I need to remember that I’ve made it 8 days in a row, and that I can continue to make progress with each day.
I found it hard too, I'm so glad I found your comment because I feel much better about having to take breaks - my legs hurt so bad! T.T
This was the first of the series where I got stuck. I was tight, stressed and ended up sore and spitting venom by the end. Stillness, mindfulness, and tight backs of the legs are breaking me. I came back to day8 a few days later and was able to get through with a calmer mind going in. I'm going to practice day8 several times a week, I want to work up to being able to do this on a bad day.
I hated the first time through, restarted it and the first thing Adrienne says is "Don't Hate"... I've got a lot to learn lol
@@juliahall3047 I have to take breaks too. I thought I was alone.
Yeah, I would have blown my knees out if I would have done the one position the entire time.
Ya, these poses are not possible… it’s all about that breath bout that breath no struggle
Day 8 was great. Today was like an emotional cleansing. I cried on the floor at the end a little bit. I am feeling more present each day. That inner child, teacher, guide is coming out spontaneously. I'm enjoying this. En joy ing life more. Thank you. Yoga is not just for girls. Us guys have a lot to learn here and now. Thank you thank you thank you.
Oh my God me too! I really don't know why I cried at the end but I did and it felt good! I thought I was the only one ❤️
Same here! Like what!?
Me too!!
Me too. This session got me teary eyed and emotions swelled up toward the end as the session closed.
Yep me too, it was the stuff about going back to when we were kids and it's all about you...I think, Adrienne is like a hug we need sometimes :) So funny how we all think it's just us. I went down the comments right away to see what others said and sure enough, there were others like me! ❤

I always read the comments to see how hard each one will be. That way I can be prepared. :-D
I know, right? Part of my routine is reading the comments after each practice to see how everyone else did. Makes me feel connected to the community
Me tooooo! Gosh! I am on my 8th day and this is my first time of commenting here but I have a ritual of reading the comments before I practice. Makes me feel so connected to everyone in this amazing community. 🤗❣️
Don't hate;
Meditate;
Feel great;
LEVITATE!
Levitate?!
Thank you Adriene for the consistent reminders to relax the shoulders and lift the heart! Every time you said it, I realized I needed the nudge! Someday I'll get them down on my own, but for now your gentle reminders are the best!
Hahaha I had the thought that it's as if she knew my shoulders were scrunched up :D

@@andreatobonlira3247 For sure! But is that really the sole of Adriene's foot coming out in that position?? She makes it look easy. Kudos.
Send me WhatsApp no

I randomly cried at the end. Overwhelmed with emotions and joy. Amazing.
I felt the exact same way, this day 8 got me so emotional
+Thomas Murphy exactly the same thing happened to me.
+Thomas Murphy I CRIED TOO WHAT IS WITH THAT lol. i felt great though like i deserved it
+Thomas Murphy I felt the emotion too but didn't get to the cry!
+Thomas Murphy Wow... I did too. It was a wonderful ride.
It's surprising for me that I can reach for my ankle in the pigeon pose very easily, but when it comes to some kind of a forward fold I can't place my hands further than on the thighs... It's like bending back is the easiest thing in the world, but bending forward is impossible. I hope it'll get better with time :)

glad it's not just me, I just point to my toes in forward fold - one day my friends!

This is literally the first time in my 25,5 years that I engaged my body for 8 days in a row - because this actually makes me feel better afterwards!! And it's not easy - my abs still sting when I cough from 2 days earlier! Thank you so much Adriene! :)
This practice is so magical, I also never felt so good and WANTING to practice every day...
Ń
Wow - I finally got past day 7 and what a reward day 8 has been! My hips have never felt so pain-free❤
Me on the 9th day of quarantine in Italy due to covid19: it’s 8 am, just woke up aaaand ready to rock my new yoga routine with you!!💕
Oh my goodness, I'm practicing in quarantine too- so glad I found Adriene!!
Greeting from Spain, 15 days in quarantine, yoga much needed now
Same here! Yoga and meditation is what we need right now. Warm greetings from the US. Stay strong everybody
Its my 8th day.. Lock down yoga
Same here in France. Some pretty challenging poses !
Gorgeous! I love how you balance these videos. "OK so we've done some harder work over the last couple of days, time for some restorative practice". It's what makes you such an great teacher. You can give us balance - especially when we struggle to find it for ourselves. What a beautiful gift, Namaste.
Yes my friend. I love your feedback Kate. Thank you for sharing. It makes sense if we want to maintain health, wealth, happiness and a good body. BALANCE.
Only this year I truly realised it's all about the BALANCE. I chose it to be my theme/ word of the year and I want everything I do to reflect it. Thank you Adriene!
Who else fell more in love with Adriene after this practice bc 🙋♀️
Can't even explain how much I needed that after the past couple of days! Never thought I'd be able to grab my ankle in pigeon pose but I did!!! Still can't get my crow to fly but at least one of my birds was singing!
Awesome! I love it lady! Keep goinnggg!
+Yoga With Adriene coming back to this a year later and this has to be one of my favourite practices - pigeon has become a fave. Crow still eludes me but I know it's on the horizon [reeeeally far away]. Thanks for this :)
Yep, I needed it too! After yesterday's extremal yoga I felt exhausted. And now, I feel like a new-born child. Love ya Adriene!
Pretty Thoughtful haha.. same here 🙈
I find myself craving to do yoga, unlike literally any other exercise. I love the rejuvenating and limber feeling it gives me 💞
This is so true. Me as well! It's like part of my DNA now. Thanks for affirming this.
Yeeeesss!
@@andreataylor928 I'm starting to feel this too. Also omg hi America! I love your channel ❤️
Totally agree with this. after attempting dozens of exercise programs this is the only one I have found enjoyment in
Same here ❤️
You know it is a fantastic video when the session felt like 10 minutes rather than 25+. Thank you for sharing your yoga practice with us on RUclips Adriene!
Someday Crow......Someday........
+Katie Rose Wells I stare down at my toes during forward fold thinking "soon.... I will get to you" XD
Sophie Wright Exactly lol
+Katie Rose Wells same here! ;-) I'm nearly there though, feels great! Namaste
Violet Mountain Good luck- Namaste.
+Katie Rose Wells Oh yeah, I hear you! :D
Being in isolation these days I decided to give yoga a go. Found your channel and I couldn't stop coming back. This is the first time in years I committed to a daily act of self care, and I can't stress what a lovely and supportive instructor you are. Thank you Adriene, thank you so much!
Yessss! She's the absolute best! And my body is happy for this new self care routine.
I think I've discovered muscles.. And maybe that pain isn't pain but energy flowing... yay :)
Best comment. :-) Love you C.
This was just what I needed today. By the end of the video, I was in tears. Thank you Adriene, for somehow always knowing what to say!
Intuit day 6! There is something so magical about this practice: the stretches, deep breaths, music, even Adriene’s outfit instantly make you so relaxed. This is definitely my favorite slow practice now. I cannot thank Adriene enough, so grateful for this channel.
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💜💜💜
At the end, when we are just lying and she keeps talking; reminds me of my college roommate. Ah! we could blabber endless about anything and everything in our heart and mind. Though in a different continent, she is my sweetheart, my best friend.
This was the best episode so far. Felt so much conennection and peacefulness but you also brought smile to my face with your playful comments. And I said "maybe today is the day" and here we go I was holding my feet in my hand, and I was so proud. wooow.
Thank you Adriene, amazing guided yoga, the best actually! :)
my fav episode too! i literally was smiling with joy near the end
My favourite day so far :) It's incredible how 30 minutes on the mat can change so much in my thinking and feeling. I feel so peaceful and relaxed and am really proud of what I could achieve today, even though I couldn't do some of the poses. Thank you so much for this beautiful practice :) Namaste :)
my practice today was magical, sooo relaxing. It was thundering and raining and the meditative music in the background made me feel so calm. Im very glad i rolled my mat out today
Slow and intense! I can finally grab my back leg in pigeon pose. I can fly for one breath in crow! Very proud moment! Yay to getting over fears🎉
Adriene is the Bob Ross of yoga!
Day 8 complete.. didn't have trouble with pigeon but as for crow..someday...x
+amyn0va I looked at her and was like you smokin I you think I can do that now. LOL
lol same!
+amyn0va I've been struggling with crow for ages! Granted I did take a long break from yoga so I was rusty to begin with when I started the 30 Days (love you Adriene!), but I'm pretty much exactly where I've always been with crow... super shaky, lucky if I get a toe off the ground. So some day! Good luck with your practice :)
I love all of the day 8 practices, but there is something magical about this first one that keeps me coming back to it even years later. It's like I have a specific mood for this exact video and nothing else hits quite right then. Thank you Adriene ❤
Can we just talk about what an awesome person she seems to be?! Thanks Adriene, for every time you make me smile during my practice!!
at 3:01 you said "bringing the focus in towards your breath" and I burped so loud! For a second I felt really rude, but realised I only feel that way, 'cause it's ingrained in me to feel that way! Then I smiled and felt a release.
Adrienne, your yoga is inspiring and life changing. I have started doing your challenge, plus another video every day. I don't know when I last felt so great. Thank you from the crown of my head to the bottom of my heel.
Loooool! XDD
You are so radiant! I am really loving this challenge. Thank you so much for doing this for us for free O.O xox
Love to you. Thank you! Namaste.
Yay its a new video / practice for me
As I tune inwards to INTUIT (listen to the guts...)
What I am Who I am What I truly need - want - thrive towards
Thanks for this flow as again, intuitive Adriene and her mojo (knowing what hits the spot!) for allowing / creating space (for me to return to self)
Namaste to all practising and May you find healing and inner calm from within
That was a absolutely beautiful yoga practice, thank you Adriene. Before the practice I was stressed and frustrated, I really wasn't happy. But now I feel relaxed, and in a much better place. 😌 thank you so much Adriene for the wonderful gift of yoga, it truly is life changing . Namaste my friend. 🙏 💙
Glad to hear you found what feels good☺Best wishes on your journey🙏
@@lanam2842 thank you, best wishes to you too. Namaste. 🙏🧡
Today I found it hard to do yoga and meditate. My mind was on work. But then I realized how much fear I was letting into my life instead of love, and now I have changed.
Thank you all and much love and namaste :)
a gift, timed perfectly. Today I was holding on to a lot of sadness. These poses opened my heart and allowed me to release that sadness. It's ok to be sad sometimes, but how wonderful to have a tool to open the heart and confront those feelings, rather than allowing them to fester. Yoga has so much potential to connect the body, heart and mind, if one is prepared to move into the difficulty, whether that challenge is in the body mind or heart.
Thoughts I have while doing this video:
-I need to clean this floor
-Why is there so much cat hair on my pajamas, damn you coco
-AWW yeah that feels great
-Ouch that hurts
-Should I be praying or something
-Can I release now IM DYING!, Oh wait the internet isnt working.
Lol!
+aneeqa ali Pretty much same here.
- Goddammit, I need to vacuum.
- FFS cats, leave me alone for 30 minutes.
- Aw, you're trying to bonk my knees and hands because you think yoga is about petting you.
- Man my hips are unusually tight today.
- MMMMM.
- Uh oh, crow. HELP.
aneeqa ali Actually LMAO at "oh wait the internet isn't working" 😂
Same. Why does this carpet smell like urine? dang doggos +aneeqa ali
😂
I think it's just very beautiful, that all around the world people are following this challenge and can engage in the comments. I normally don't comment, but I just wanted to say Thank you Adriene for uploading these videos!
Hello! Anyone doing this in 2021 I’m here with you.
Today was great. I did what was in my comfort zone and let myself grow into these stretches. Loving this 30 day series.
Day 17 of quarantine in the Uk.. not sure if I’m doing it 100% right but I’m getting stronger and I’m learning the poses and names as you say them without looking at the television now!!
It has been over four years since I last did this sequence. On the mat late today but this still feels great.
Intuit day 6. 1036 days.
The guidance to get into crow allowed me to finally do it! For 3 seconds ha ha ha. 🎉and doing pigeon with the leg up by looking at my back foot really helped get me there.
I usually really have anxiety problems and I've only been doing yoga with you for about a week and I feel very different. I can never wait to get home and do yoga, because it really makes me feel good and relaxed. Thank you so much!
Thank you woman. 6th year of yoga finally I can see my right leg 🙏
I never usually comment on videos but I'm SO grateful, Adriene. You're helping me go through a major depression (watching from France) and everyday it is so great to see you again and focus on myself, my body, my presence in this world, all thanks to your incredible kindness, authenticity, sweetness. You're a rare person, Adriene, thank you so much.
Totally emotional at the end, did someone else feel that too? I think the pigeon has that effect :P
And what about crow...someday!
You're not the only one, felt a bit teary during shavasana....happy teary though
I legit was wiping tears from my eyes for a minute and got confused lol
@@cybergoddess9428 same here..i was like wait what is this..am i sad? does this hurt? i guess thats the letting go of what doesnt serve us..u think?
Definitely felt that!!
interesting and relieving to read you felt the same, i was crying for a bit too
I live in Istanbul, Turkey so i recieve the #30DaysOfYoga videos at 8am. I like starting the day with yoga and looooved today's practice so much. I think i will come back to this session a lot in the future :))
Yes, do! It is here for you to ENJOY my friend! Hello from across the globe!!!!
Yoga With Adriene someone else is watching you from Turkey- Me and my 4 year old son from neighbour city- Kocaeli! He categories your videos by the color of your t-shirt- we will do the pink tonight, we did blue, right mum? Thank you so much making this videos for those who dont have yoga studios were they live! :).
It took me 8 days of yoga practice (and I'm completly new at this) to finally smile. Every other day when Adrienne told us to smile I was like: nope, I'm not at work, I won't force myself to smile. Today I FINALLY smiled on my own, happy, relaxed and greatful.
But “making” yourself smile opens your soul 😊❤
This video came at the right moment for me. Was feeling especially vulnerable and lonely tonight (guy problems). I'm just wondering if it will ever end and whether I truly will get to experience true love...This video helped me get out of head a little. Hope it helps others too :)
Trust the universe, you will get everything you want♥️
It took me nearly two months to finish the 2024 30 day flow, but I've decided that I want to keep it going for the rest of the year! So I went back to this very first one for the month of March and I'm very excited to have the momentum
This is the second time that i do this video when i get a migraine and within a few minutes of the practice it is just gone and i am so eternally grateful for this adrienne!!!
This was one of the best practices I've ever had!❤
This was soooooooo good, I'm usually a very messy person. This morning I took the time to make my bed this morning and enjoy cleaning it up while being in the moment.
Last time I did this practice, like a year ago, I was in a proud "some day pose" but today I tried again and surprised myself by bringing that leg up with ease! The power of daily home yoga practice, truly!
I do most of my yoga practice at night after the gym right before bed.. it is amazing how relaxed I am
amazing day 8 !!!
Thankyou, Adriene. Beautiful start to my Sunday xx
With all the stress and sadness going around right now, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you ❤️
thank you, Adriene 💛
I really love you dear Adrienne! ❤️😊
Oh wow, today introduced me to my favorite yoga pose thus far: pigeon pose. My hips have never enjoyed a pose so much. I can't believe it was 30 minutes, that felt like ten. I'm definitely going to have to come back to this one.
I'm overweight and I started this as a challenge to see how far Ill keep the practice. Well it has surprise me that although at time the poses can be a bit challenging I just crave for more. Thank you for the opportunity.
After today's practice when I laid down at the end I was suddenly overcome with emotion and began to sob for probably 5 minutes. I'm not sure how but I opened up a part of me that I normal keep stuffed down with emotions and stress I do not what to deal with. Thank you Adrienne.
i just had the exact same experience, it's so lovely to see someone else had the same a year ago! Adrienne is magic
I never realized what I like about your videos so much, but after completing day 8 it really touched me to see that authentic devotion you have to the practice (you believe in it). Too many youtube yogi's out there seem to be doing what they do for the money and/or fame. It's just refreshing to see that you truly believe in what you do. Today's practice literally left me in tears from all the pent up emotions I hold carry inside on a day to day basis. Keep doing what you do Yoga With Adriene ! It's truly revolutionary!
+Ruby Parga thats true !! you fel that you done your yoga time with one of your friends !!
I am on day 8 and I enjoyed the healing and meditation session! It made me so calm and meditative! Thank you for this 30 day challenge! More power to you! 🙏💪😊
I had an episode of paranoia and anxiety right before this exercise. It all faded away latest when I realized I was able to lift my foot with ease and hold it - this pose and the squatting really helped me connect to myself and let my fear go. Thank you so much for this.
Just wanted to let you know how therapeutic this journey has been for me. This video especially. I sobbed on the mat towards the end. Happy tears, though. It was an emotional release I didn't know I needed. You're incredible Adriene
I cried through this video too. Day 8 might need to be a regular thing.
This was exactly what I needed today. Felt anxious and overwhelmed right when I woke up, and almost didn't come on the mat because I thought I wasn't in the right mindset. This practise helped me get into the right mindset, and I'm ready to take on my day. Thank you Adriene, you have changed my outlook on yoga in just 8 days. Much love, Namaste. x
This was the hardest yoga practice for me. Yet I’m still really grateful, thank you from my heart Adriene
Yes sure reeee! This is what I needed! Love how I am feeling!!!!!
i was super relaxed and zen'd out during this honestly i feel GREAT rn
Crow's Pose? More like a dead bird the way I was doing it. But still a great day!
I love the way you combine this really serious love for yoga with all those funny and light-hearted detours into pop culture references. Thank you so much for always finding such a sweet balance!
Was kinda hoping there'd be at least one of these I could hang with, and this totally delivered. I feel better than I have in months. Hung out in extended child's pose for the second round of squatting and the LOLNO pose (oops, I mean 'crow pose'); I don't know if there's a better counter-pose, but a nice long child's pose always feels good. Thank you for an awesome practice, Adriene.
With pleasure! And there is more where this came from! I'm excited as they all unfold!
Kyle, I've noticed your comments multiple times under lovely Adriene's videos and I just wanted to tell you that they always make me chuckle, you're so funny! Thank you for that, seriously. Namaste!
Kyle S. The "LOLNO pose" hahaha I feel the same! XD But trying to work towards it, it's just a bit scary & I think I'm too weak at the moment. But one day, one day. Right, haha!? Take care =)
Sunsets And Love One day for sure. And when another one pops up in a video and freaks me out and makes me go NOPE (which I will say out loud--yay, home practice), at least I'm laughing instead of raging. That's serious progress in my world.
Kyle S. LOLNO pose :D That's brilliant! Thank you so much!
I find myself waking up going to the mat knowing no matter how I feel starting out... I feel great afterwards. 👍
Was going to comment something else (kind of random) but started reading the comments and realized how truely amazing you are. Love it.
lovely way to start the day ❤❤Thank you Adriene :)
Ìntuit Day 6 🙏
I'm always worried about time so when I saw this was almost 30 minutes I was convinced I would only do 15 minutes then come back to it, but I got so into it and before I knew it I did the whole thing-and I'm so glad for it! Thanks Adriene for helping me slow down and just, well, breathe. :)
me too!
W. O. W, This practice was the best yoga practice I EVER had in ly life, Adriene really brought me in a sort of other world an phase, thank you
I have never practiced yoga before; now I´m on day 8 with Adriene and I´m really liking it! But I have to admit that I´m feeling a little bit frustrated because I´m not flexible at all... but I hope that with time and practice I can get better. Has anybody felt like this? Please tell me I´m not the only one! ;) Thanks! :D
Yas! You’re not aloneee🦋❤️
You are not alone - My knees hurt if I sit too long in a bent knee pose
Good to read comments like this as I resonate completely. I like how Adrienne regularly explains we’ll all be at different places but I’m truly shocked by how little I can do some days. It can only get better 🤞🏼
@@olgapalacio265 Mine too!!
Done on August 6th 2023 🖤
I have never felt so fantastically amazing in my life. Managed to do the one legged pigeon pose easily, really struggled with some others but I can feel how much more flexible I am getting every day and as a person with short, tight tendons and very limited flexibility for most of my life it's really exciting. Loved the music and the guided meditation. Feel so soothed and at ease.
So, here goes. I've been doing some of your videos and felt like I should really comment about my feelings. Everytime I do them, I always have this thought that even though I will feel relaxed afterwards, it won't keep me from being stressed out. But you know what, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I feel so refreshed, good, and relaxed. I literally feel down to Earth. Girl, I don't know what you're doing but pleaaase, keep going! Namaste (:
Great Meditation I really needed this today. After the past 2 days I am sore and this really stretched me out and it was very relaxing. So ready for day 9 tomorrow! Namaste!
This was exactly what I needed today. 4 minutes into the practice, I had to stop the video because I was crying. I'm great at escaping and numbing my emotions until I sit down, and really FEEL my body and soul with your practice- which forces me to release the pain I carry inside. So tired of the endless cycles of ADD, depression and self loathing. Exhausted from trying to land a solid career, be a productive person and learn to use my time better. So tired of feeling like an inadequate mom, wife and human being. So tired of feeling like an unworthy, unloveable mess. Thank you for giving us the space to release, love and nurture ourselves. I always feel stronger after 'spending some time' with Adrienne.
I Just had to leave a comment before the practice... This is soooo nostalgic! This was my first 30 day challenge with you about 3 years ago. This is where it all started. It was so hard, I didn't know any "shapes" and their names, I had to look constantly what you are doing, I made some huge (painful) mistakes because I didn't understand much. And now I'm kinda proud I kept coming back so I can be here for for the fifth month of every day practice in 2020.
You are the best teacher on yt, thank you for all your videos, jokes, catching us when we fall 😊
Namaste!💚
I can't explain it but I cried at the end of this yoga practice. I truly loved it.
This is my second lap around the pool with the 30 day yoga program and I'm so happy to have come back to this video. I feel 100x better just mentally and physically right now. Lord knows I did not the first time around haha. Thank you so much Adriene, your confidence and go with the flow vibes really had an affect on me and my yoga performance and how I use my breath. I'm no longer looking at the video to mimic your form, I'm too busy doing what feels good. You are really transforming lives. Have an awesome day, ~ Namaste.
Oh this was my favourite day so far! Awesome
"Someday..." (pointing to foot) I got a chuckle here.. 😁 Thank you Adriene for helping me start my day.
Today I’m going into work for the first time after lockdown of schools in England. I’m a keyworker so need to be in with our vulnerable children. We all work on a rota system so have been home feeling safe the last week. I was feeling scared and anxious about going out. Today I hung my head and shook out all my worries and anxieties and now feel calm and positive for my day ahead. I also for the first time ever caught hold of my foot!! Now that is a positive! Stay safe lovely people xxxxx
Just what I needed after my session at the gym :) Thank Adriene!
E
I was feeling very resistant to doing day 8 today, but felt relieved as I got into it and realized it was more of a slow, restorative practice! As you said, energizing practices are great, but some days you need to take it slow! This is just what I needed today on Day 8
whooshhh this was nice. challenging, because I'm stiff, but felt so light afterward. Also, today was my 1st time being grateful and enjoying the downward-facing dog. And I'm surprised for being consistent with the practices.
Ive been at it for 8 days now, and I honestly feel really great! I was at work today, and I seriously felt stronger! Some of it is hard, but all of it is so good for the body. I suffer from all sorts of different pain related issues on the daily, and I feel like, if I keep going, that I will, without a doubt, benefit greatly! Thank you so much!
I feel stronger, too! I was going up and down the stairs today and my core felt completely solid because of the ab-focused workout from a day or two before. Can't wait to see how I feel by day 30 :)
After this I felt so saved I that I wanted to cry from happiness. This was pure magic, you're lifesaver Adriene! Cheers from the snowy and dark winter of Finland, keep it up! :) Almost 6 months of yoga now with max 2 day breaks between the practices. :D
