We have five days left on our journey HOME. You are doing great! How do you feel about today's practice? Were you happy to relax? Do you find it difficult to relax?
We’ll all be digging through the ywa archives this time next week. Bittersweet, my mind kept going to my body. Does that count as present? Like on where I’m tight and holding??
We’re awesome (giggle)! This was perfect, but I have to admit I repeated day 24 before unwinding, because I felt a bit like I had missed out yesterday by getting left and right mixed up for the high lunge sequence. Loved the combination, too! And now... off to the beach! Happy Sunday!
So happy to relax after my running training :) the hamstrings stretches were very welcome. I always find it difficult to relax, but love yoga for this as it takes me back to my inner self. Love you Adriene and all that you do!
Perfect practice for a sunday, easy and comfortable to relax, even if it left me with kind of a remorse for not having done more for my body today. Thank you again Adriene for this wonderful journey. Can't believe its over soon
*HOME - day 25/30:* This did NOT feel like 18 minutes. I deep-cleaned some of my room today and got completely new and fresh bed sheets and clothing for the first time in a looong time which I can’t wait to sleep in. My room’s been a mess for several years, and as an introvert, I spend most of my time in it and can definitely feel the effect a messy space has on the mind. When I was in the deepest of my depression, I almost didn’t leave my room. It feels good to finally be in a place where I have the energy to start creating a space for myself that feels like “home”. Just wanted to share.😌 Thanks for another lovely practise.💕
Nice sentiment, but not necessary. Psychiatrists and psychologists are but another facet in the diamond of healthy self care. It might help to look at them not as Shrinks, but as Feelings Doctors. They help us understand what we are feeling and why, based on our specific life experience. Nothing shameful about that :)
@@cathlenebell3174 I TOTALLY agreed with👍👍💯💯💯💯 they are both a great balance to/in life journey!!! Thank you Adriene....very much appreciated!!!! Blessings everyone!!
I just got done Doing this in front of a beautiful waterfall down the street from my house. I echo the sentiment about you being key to my health during this lockdown. Thank you for everything you do Adriene.
Winter day here snow outside this was a practice of learning how to breath proper way. Yoga is starting to make me feel good my body been out of shape.
I feel like doing today's practice twice. Once in the morning and a second time at night. I woke up with my head spinning and given the heavy sleeper that I am, I was probably spinning in a merry go round in my dream. Thanks, Adriene for the reassuring practice and really calming me down when I have no idea what's going on in my life. Stay strong everyone. Happy Sunday. Namaste.
If anyone reading this has ever been the victim of childhood sexual abuse, believe me when I say this, yoga can help you truly heal your heart. I remember the first yoga I ever did. It was Adriene's let it go flow. No idea why I was doing it, I just felt the calling from with in me. That was 3 years ago. I was suffering from depression at that time. Over the years yoga has helped reconnect with the essence of my being. The pure joyful innocence I felt I had lost growing up. I'm deeply grateful to Adriene for her hard work. She made yoga accessible to a person like me, someone who's insecurity about how her body looks would never allow her to start yoga at a public class and continue it. This channel made it possible 🙏🏼
My body hurts today. Well, it's hurt for many days now, as I'm deep in a flare with my illness. And my mind hurts. It's heavy and tired of the suffering I'm experiencing. But I can't wait to get cozy and enjoy the feeling of my body, tired as it might be, reconnecting with the earth, and my heart reconnecting with all of you
This journey has reminded me of a Thich Naht Hahn quote from "You Are Here", a short book that I highly recommend: I have arrived, I am home In the here and in the now I am solid, I am free In the Ultimate I dwell Namaste
Day 25 Done! As soon as Adriene said “Bring a pillow and a blanket to class today I knew it was going to be a good one! Have a great Sunday!🧘🏾♀️🧘♂️🇬🇧❤️
I was at the hospital today and they told me to do less sport and yoga, even though I told them yoga was the best thing for my body. they told me to keep it easy and here you are inviting me to unwind. How great is that? Thank you Adriene, we love you
I had a truly shitty day today. Couldn't even bring myself to the mat, I just felt like I didn't deserve it. But doing it now right before bedtime I'm so happy that I did. I haven't given up on this journey yet and that gives me hope in my everyday life. Goodnight world!
Doing YWA is like going into a cake shop thinking you know what you want -- you want that zesty lemon tart. But once you're in the shop you realize there are all these colours, flavours, shapes and smells, and you are so happy to have discovered all of those new things and you start to appreciate and enjoy all of them. Mmm... 🍰
i feel guilty for not starting the new year with these videos despite seeing a notif about it everyday. i just didnt feel like myself at all this january. but im trying. today i will join !!
You've managed to get here at all and that is good enough, well done on pushing through whatever you had to to do it! No guilt needed, the fact you are here, trying now means you have already succeeded when it comes to yoga 😊
Just wanted to let you know that while I'm doing this 30 day challenge, I decided to take an Yogatherapy course, which started yesterday 🥰 hopefully I can get even more deep into yoga. These videos have been a blessing in showing me how much yoga can change your day
Today, I looked back and saw that on day 1, over one million people watched the very first video of home. Today, on day 25, just over 16,000 people are still here. If you are one of them, I have enjoyed every time Adriene has said, "Think of all the people practicing with us all over the world." I don't say this because I feel "better" than anyone else. After all, I have joined the January practice for the last three years, and this is the very first time I have been able to stay with the calendar. What I am trying to say...except I seem to be having some trouble spitting it out already...is that we each really do need to "find what feels good". I think comparing yourself to anyone in this journey can knock you off track more than any other thing. Missing one day can shake confidence. Our own minds can be our worst enemies, and we often cannot turn of that negative voice. Anyway, I appreciate you and am sending well wishes to everyone who is still on track and to those who may have another journey that is more important right now.
Dear Adriene, Thank you very much for these yoga sessions. (I've been meaning to say that for a long time.) You are a great teacher, motivator and instigator of positivity. I'm 75, with a slightly dodgy back, so can't do some of the moves and postures, but I know what not to attempt, and I find that what I can do is of great benefit. I did the 'Dedicate' series last year, although it took me up to April to complete it! (Some days I didn't do any, and other days I did a repeat of the previous session so as not to forget it.) This year so far I'm up to Day 12. I am trying to convince a few friends and family to give it a go, knowing how good it would be for them. Once again, thanks, and all the best to you and Benji.
Adriene has definitely become one of my favorite quarantine buddies!! I've been breezing through the 'Home' journey while Colorado is on lockdown. Since starting I've become much more flexible and happy... my body craves daily yoga now! We also adopted a second dog (a puppy!) into our family during this time. She is absolutely fascinated watching me do yoga and loves it when Benjie appears on the screen. Thank you, Adriene, for bringing a lovely daily practice into my home! Side note, can you imagine what this would be like if the 'Home' journey took place in April instead of January? Wow.
'Thanks for showing up today' - exactly what I needed to hear. I'm a beginner at yoga and can find myself feeling discouraged when I'm unable to do the poses properly and often feel unmotivated to even give it a go. I was about to go to bed but decided at the last minute that I would do at least something, good to know that every little bit of effort counts!
I hope yoga is still bringing you joy and I hope you've learned by now that the only "proper" thing about poses is to do them in a way that does not harm your body! Namaste
I've been doing the series and only missed a few days. Then the big Corona scare happened and I missed 4 days in a row. Today I reluctantly went back to my routine and was greeted with this video. I'm so grateful for the rest days. I love your system.
I don't ever comment on RUclips videos but felt compelled to come on today to say that I never thought I would learn and reflect so much by spending time daily on my yoga mat. I do yoga sporadically but never felt 'moved' by it until I began practising daily on here. This journey has opened up another world for me. I don't know what it was about today's practice, maybe it's what's happening in the world right now but I felt a huge rush of emotion when it ended and all I can describe it as now is "peace in my soul". Thank you x
I had been avoiding this practice because it felt like all I had been doing lately was lying around. I wasn’t interested in a relaxing session! I wanted something full body and incredibly immersive! I was so wrong. Although simple and low-impact, my whole body was engaged and overcome with a clean and welcome feeling of relaxation, unlike the listless boredom that had me couch-locked for days. Adrienne always seems to dole out exactly what I need at any given moment. How serendipitous.
5pm in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺. Beautiful practice for Australia Day. Today I am recognising our indigenous people and the terrible things that happened when the settlers arrived. I am also celebrating living in this beautiful country. I am so grateful ❤️
This was so lovely, and just what I needed after running yesterday (I am sore :D). Thank you Adriene, so much. And reading the comments, I feel like this is what everybody needed, too. The rain sounds outside today were awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And thanks to me, for showing up and listening to myself.❤️ Namaste🙏💙
Morning all! Ok.... I was going to do this practice this morning but now I’ve read the email I’ve decided to use it as part of a winding down session this evening! Seems a massive coincidence that I started using the unwinding anxiety programme yesterday and then this practice is sent to us today! Thank you and a big shout out to everyone experiencing suffering in their lives, we got this! 🧘🏻♀️ 🙏🏻
why was YWA the saving grace for ALL OF US this quarantine?? I started doing yoga over quarantine and it has truly transformed my life. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
My husband has the perfect timing to always come in when I am doing the most awesome things like neck massage, foot massage, forward fold or just laying with a planket over my belly. He is fully convinced this is the most relaxing sports ever, in fact so am I. Namaste everyone!
The restorative practices are so great; it's crazy to think how many days I've gone by with clenched jaws and tense shoulder, only to come onto the mat and let it reveal the truth. Namaste 🙏
*I had a magical moment in this practice which I heard my inner voice!* The first time feeling this was amazing. I just followed Adrienne's instructions to relax from toes to the crown at the end of the tutorial. I tried to felt it deeply and I could feel a sudden gush of warmth in the whole body, and i heard my inner voice saying "deep". :) It's magical, thank you Adrienne and everyone .
last practice of 2020 for me. this year I've done three months and a week of daily yoga. thank you adriene for being there for me, you're an awesome teacher and your videos made my life much happier. see you soon in the new year with the new calendar!
Love this practice..and so does my cat Arthur. This morning he was asleep on my bed, however upon hearing Adriene’s calming voice he bounds down to my mat to get his yoga love. I think he likes Benji too! Thank you Adriene.
Day 25! I have a lot of gratitude for today's practice. In about 3 hours my life is about to get very interesting. I'll need to remember to take moments to breathe.
Normally i should do day 23 practice as i am 2 days behind, but i woke up in a miserable condition after what i went through yesterday... i woke up crying literaly. I received the email from aderiene talking about unwind, i beleive that this practice is designed for me :') i did it twice and i feel less anxious now and more calm. I love you Adriene. I really do. ❤
It's so fascinating how different my body is physically and energetically every day. Like finding a new corner inside of myself daily, usually hiding gifts of tightness. :) Thank you so much! Proud of everybody!
This practice was just what I needed, after a night of disturbing dreams and a heart-pounding anxiety upon waking this morning. My heart was beating fast at the start, my thoughts were all over the place. But I kept returning to the breath, and my heart and head are now calm. Namaste to all.
After all the horrible things that have happened today around the globe, this practice brought peace in my heart and helped me to focus on the moment. Not a single minute of our life is guaranteed, and yet is it so easy for all of us to take it for granted. Practicing gratitude today, and sending prayers and love to all those around the world who are hurting. Namaste xx
Aww I'm leaving this practice for the night, I let myself sleep longer on Sundays and this one will be much better to do when I'll be going to bed than when I'm trying to wake myself up 😂 See ya in the evening, Namaste! 🙏 Update: Leaving it for later was a great decision haha Anyone else did that too?
Day 176 in a row. I am a little under the weather today and was feeling a little trepidation when I rolled out my mat, but like so many times before today's practice was tailor made for me and I feel so much better.
I've had a very though weekend, full of things I had to do, people I had to meet,... So I wasn't able to do yesterdays session and thought about doing it now that it's sunday evening and I'm finally home again. But at first I was like okay I'm just gonna do yesterdays session and just be one day "behind" and that's okay. But as I saw todays theme it was clear that I would just do both even tough I just wanted to go to bed so badly. After these two very full days I literally felt the whole stress clinging to my body. So I just did as if yesterdays and todays videos were one session. And it was the best I could have done. Yesterday's gave me a bit of energy back and today's was just perfect for how I felt. Throughout the whole session I felt the stress falling of my body. It was so amazing. Adriene, I am SO thankful for you. These Yoga-Sessions are my highlight of the day. You motivate me to look after me, listen to myself and my body and to take care. So I did today. I'm so thankful that I'm even writing this comment even if I'm not an comment-person at all and even tough before these practices I just wanted to go to bed. Thank you, Adriene. For everything. You make this world a better place. Lots of love from Germany!!!
Today I was sore and kind of down - and this practice was a beautifil moment to relax and unwind during quarentine. During savasana a soft breeze started to come trhough the windows and birds started to sing :') Thank you, Adriane.
For Day 25 of Home I am so pleased after my dreadful head cold to be recovered and able to use my Ujjayi breathing for this lovely practice. Super relaxing, super stretchy, very loving and amazingly emotional at the end ! We love you Adriene, see you tomorrow on the mat with you for Keep 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💞
I’ve been revisiting the Home series as a personal yoga advent this year, and this was the perfect practice for Christmas morning! Wishing everyone who celebrates a merry Christmas 🎄
as soon as she said "Way to show up today" i just started CRYING! all day i've been unable to get motivated and just dragging my feet through my work, feeling like i got nothing done. that made me feel incredible
When Adriene said "the right hamstring is getting some sunshine" I smiled because I did my practice outdoors today and the sun really WAS shining right at my hamstring! So happy to be on this journey with all of you. Can't believe there's only 5 more days! Namaste
I've read comments where people have said that they have randomly burst into tears during practice but I couldn't relate... Until today! When we were doing the hamstring stretches, I began to cry, so very abruptly! The yoga mat really is a reflection, a mirror. Thank you for the love you weave so beautifully into these videos, Adriene ❤
Thanks Adriene for these terrific tutorials.This 30 Days journey is really motivating me to do yoga every day.I hope ,you'll come up with these sort of "30 Days Journey" more in future cause it's really practical :))
Been under the weather and a little behind on 30 days. However, this was perfect for me today. Calm and peaceful but I got simple movements in. Thanks.
The timing of this series has been right on point. The love and thought and hard work you put into the 30 day challenges is just beautiful. Thank you, truly. The awesome in me bows to the awesome in you, Namaste🙏❤🐾
Oh. Today's practice passed too quickly! I almost want to do it all over again. Thank you so much Adriene, for this journey back Home. I feel like I'm at 'Home' in my body. It's one of the most beautiful feelings. ❤
I fell asleep in today's practice, woke up an hour later on my yoga mat...it's actually a really comfy place to nap! Thanks Adriene, I really feel better after this. I had an awful day in quarantine and it just made me feel that little bit brighter.
Told my Mum (91) that in January I pratice yoga every day with a wonderful Yoga teacher from Austin/ Texas. OMG, she said, until I told her that you are on youtube. But it just feels like you are in our home. So real, so connected. Only five days left......
I've been doing this during Covid. Adriene, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love. This has been so beneficial to my wellbeing during this time. Thank you thank you thank you
I saved this practice for bedtime. I even got my teenage son to join me...when he heard pillow and blanket. We were both yawning and had no problem relaxing. It’s bittersweet there’s only 5 days left. Much gratitude 🙏 Adriene.🥰🥰🥰💕💕😇
Had to come back because I realized I didn't leave a comment! 😦 My goal is to unwind my thoughts from my reality. What I am thinking is not always what's true. In fact, it usually isn't. Returning to breath. Breath has your back ❤ Thanks Adriene, Namaste 🙏
We have five days left on our journey HOME. You are doing great! How do you feel about today's practice? Were you happy to relax? Do you find it difficult to relax?
We’ll all be digging through the ywa archives this time next week. Bittersweet, my mind kept going to my body. Does that count as present? Like on where I’m tight and holding??
We’re awesome (giggle)! This was perfect, but I have to admit I repeated day 24 before unwinding, because I felt a bit like I had missed out yesterday by getting left and right mixed up for the high lunge sequence. Loved the combination, too! And now... off to the beach! Happy Sunday!
So happy to relax after my running training :) the hamstrings stretches were very welcome. I always find it difficult to relax, but love yoga for this as it takes me back to my inner self. Love you Adriene and all that you do!
I thought I would but it was nice. The bf joined in and at the end our breath was in sync and we were so relaxed. Thank you
Perfect practice for a sunday, easy and comfortable to relax, even if it left me with kind of a remorse for not having done more for my body today. Thank you again Adriene for this wonderful journey. Can't believe its over soon
*HOME - day 25/30:*
This did NOT feel like 18 minutes. I deep-cleaned some of my room today and got completely new and fresh bed sheets and clothing for the first time in a looong time which I can’t wait to sleep in. My room’s been a mess for several years, and as an introvert, I spend most of my time in it and can definitely feel the effect a messy space has on the mind. When I was in the deepest of my depression, I almost didn’t leave my room. It feels good to finally be in a place where I have the energy to start creating a space for myself that feels like “home”. Just wanted to share.😌 Thanks for another lovely practise.💕
That's great!! New bed sheets is the best thing
Great to see you coming out, I am stick to the routine and hoping for the change!
Thank you for your genuine sharing 💖 Namaste 🙏🏽
A yoga session with Adriene a day keeps the psychiatrist away. :D ♥
I feel the same! Adriene and Benji help keep me mentally balanced, too.
Nice sentiment, but not necessary. Psychiatrists and psychologists are but another facet in the diamond of healthy self care. It might help to look at them not as Shrinks, but as Feelings Doctors. They help us understand what we are feeling and why, based on our specific life experience. Nothing shameful about that :)
Cathlene Bell Agreed! Nothing wrong with having a psychiatrist as well as practicing yoga 😌 It’s all about balance.
@@cathlenebell3174 Absolutely wonderfully said ❤️I couldn't agree more.
@@cathlenebell3174 I TOTALLY agreed with👍👍💯💯💯💯 they are both a great balance to/in life journey!!! Thank you Adriene....very much appreciated!!!! Blessings everyone!!
Me: I hope today's practice isn't too extreme...
*Sees blanket in thumbnail*
Me: AAAAWWWWYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
I cannot imagine lockdown without your classes. This is a lifesaver during COVID times
I just got done Doing this in front of a beautiful waterfall down the street from my house. I echo the sentiment about you being key to my health during this lockdown. Thank you for everything you do Adriene.
Yeah, she helps me every morning to start into my day!
I’ve been watching her vids since quarantine started
For the first time ever, after 15 years of yoga practice, when I was scanning my body at the end, I felt each part I was concentrating on tingling. 😮
Amazing!
congrats, thats dope.
The birds starting chirping outside my window while I did this practice and it felt so blissful. Hope everybody's having an amazing day!
Nina Hohlfeld Lucky you! We are deep in the dark winter where I am and I miss the birds. Enjoy!
Nina Hohlfeld nice!!! Sunny window & cozy in my loft / woman / yogi 🧘♀️ cave 💚💚💚🙏
Winter day here snow outside this was a practice of learning how to breath proper way. Yoga is starting to make me feel good my body been out of shape.
Same, I feel lucky to have enjoyed this practice on our cottage deck, overlooking a beautiful lake and listening to the birds and chipmunks.
Same!! I closed my eyes and focused on the sound. Feeling so relaxed.

maybe the way you feel relates to new moon which has an impact on how we sleep! i also slept poorly last night and it was a new moon
felt the same about the practice, gonna do it again tonight
Feeling the same here! Sending love 💕
Shadan Zahrooni i migth try that do it again this evening. See my earlier comment that is was rather short but doing it twice migth be the solluation
Figods me too!

@@paratenichost348 It's amazing how the practices seem to line up with what we need!
This journey has reminded me of a Thich Naht Hahn quote from "You Are Here", a short book that I highly recommend:
I have arrived, I am home
In the here and in the now
I am solid, I am free
In the Ultimate I dwell
Namaste
Bella C I love his book 'The Miracle of Mindfulness'🙏🏽✨
Day 25 Done! As soon as Adriene said “Bring a pillow and a blanket to class today I knew it was going to be a good one! Have a great Sunday!🧘🏾♀️🧘♂️🇬🇧❤️
here here
Amen
Yessss, pillow & blankets .... the best way to do Sunday!!
Happy Sunday to you as well!
I love pillow and blanket days!

"Head over heart. Heart over pelvis," is my favorite line b/c I tend to slouch and this a reminder to straighten up!

i feel guilty for not starting the new year with these videos despite seeing a notif about it everyday. i just didnt feel like myself at all this january. but im trying. today i will join !!
Yassi Welcome Yassi! We can start any day and it’s just fine🤗
Your timing is perfect, thanks for joining, way to show up ;)
Marcela Lanz Thank you so much!
Rachel Delattre Thank you so much for the support. Ill be back tomorrow!

“Notice what comes to your mind first”
My mind: *Theres nothing a hundred men or more could ever do. I bless the rains down in Africa.*
I’m serious
🤣
Love it lol😂
This song is always stuck in my head 😂
Lol I had to Google this to see what is it from cuz knew I know it from somewhere 😂
Inman is my maiden name 💓 hello perhaps relative x
The awesome in me recognizes the awesome in you. Namaste
Why did it have to end!!! This session was way too fast and gave me all the warm feelings and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!
Hola Adrienne and Benji Thank you for Day 25 Unwind. Very glad to relax in todays practice. Namaste.

It's 3am here in Brazil and this video came out just in time to heal my insomnia. Thanks Adriene and Benji!
Hi Christy! Please check my videos! They may help you relax and sleep
I don't ever comment on RUclips videos but felt compelled to come on today to say that I never thought I would learn and reflect so much by spending time daily on my yoga mat.

I was so wrong. Although simple and low-impact, my whole body was engaged and overcome with a clean and welcome feeling of relaxation, unlike the listless boredom that had me couch-locked for days. Adrienne always seems to dole out exactly what I need at any given moment. How serendipitous.
5pm in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺. Beautiful practice for Australia Day. Today I am recognising our indigenous people and the terrible things that happened when the settlers arrived. I am also celebrating living in this beautiful country. I am so grateful ❤️
This was so lovely, and just what I needed after running yesterday (I am sore :D). Thank you Adriene, so much. And reading the comments, I feel like this is what everybody needed, too. The rain sounds outside today were awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And thanks to me, for showing up and listening to myself.❤️ Namaste🙏💙
Perfect practice for this day, which I have declared 'Self care Thursday', just because. Thank you Adriene for your love, service and guidance
Thanks for that beautiful way to unwind after an emotionally intense evening.
Enjoying this practice again. Feb2024. I love the home series especially the music. It feels like home.
Morning all! Ok.... I was going to do this practice this morning but now I’ve read the email I’ve decided to use it as part of a winding down session this evening! Seems a massive coincidence that I started using the unwinding anxiety programme yesterday and then this practice is sent to us today! Thank you and a big shout out to everyone experiencing suffering in their lives, we got this! 🧘🏻♀️ 🙏🏻
why was YWA the saving grace for ALL OF US this quarantine?? I started doing yoga over quarantine and it has truly transformed my life. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
That felt like 5 minutes, Adriene is by far the most amazing yogi on youtube. 🙌
My husband has the perfect timing to always come in when I am doing the most awesome things like neck massage, foot massage, forward fold or just laying with a planket over my belly. He is fully convinced this is the most relaxing sports ever, in fact so am I. Namaste everyone!
Just want to say thanks again for uploading all these amazing videos.
And I love practicing with all you lovely folks out there! ❤️
Joe S Me too! Greetings from a Mexican!🇲🇽
I found tears slipping down my face at the end of this class. 🙏🏼
The restorative practices are so great; it's crazy to think how many days I've gone by with clenched jaws and tense shoulder, only to come onto the mat and let it reveal the truth. Namaste 🙏
RIP KB and the others on plane. It was a sad day for many but I showed up here. End of my day, still in disbelief. The world needs so much care. ☹️🌸
*I had a magical moment in this practice which I heard my inner voice!* The first time feeling this was amazing. I just followed Adrienne's instructions to relax from toes to the crown at the end of the tutorial. I tried to felt it deeply and I could feel a sudden gush of warmth in the whole body, and i heard my inner voice saying "deep". :) It's magical, thank you Adrienne and everyone .
Yay day25 feeling abit Sicky today. Buh let's go
I dont know about you, but i did this one with my eyes closed pretty much the whole time... 😌🧘🏼♀️🇧🇷
last practice of 2020 for me. this year I've done three months and a week of daily yoga. thank you adriene for being there for me, you're an awesome teacher and your videos made my life much happier. see you soon in the new year with the new calendar!
Love this practice..and so does my cat Arthur. This morning he was asleep on my bed, however upon hearing Adriene’s calming voice he bounds down to my mat to get his yoga love. I think he likes Benji too! Thank you Adriene.
Day 25! I have a lot of gratitude for today's practice. In about 3 hours my life is about to get very interesting. I'll need to remember to take moments to breathe.
Ah for sure, me and my calm dog try to unwind with a walk of fresh air, while we both experience a good weather! :)
Normally i should do day 23 practice as i am 2 days behind, but i woke up in a miserable condition after what i went through yesterday... i woke up crying literaly. I received the email from aderiene talking about unwind, i beleive that this practice is designed for me :') i did it twice and i feel less anxious now and more calm. I love you Adriene. I really do. ❤
It's so fascinating how different my body is physically and energetically every day. Like finding a new corner inside of myself daily, usually hiding gifts of tightness. :) Thank you so much! Proud of everybody!
No downward facing dog 😀 doing this one before bed to get me back on the right day, namaste 🙏🏼
This practice was just what I needed, after a night of disturbing dreams and a heart-pounding anxiety upon waking this morning. My heart was beating fast at the start, my thoughts were all over the place. But I kept returning to the breath, and my heart and head are now calm. Namaste to all.
After all the horrible things that have happened today around the globe, this practice brought peace in my heart and helped me to focus on the moment. Not a single minute of our life is guaranteed, and yet is it so easy for all of us to take it for granted. Practicing gratitude today, and sending prayers and love to all those around the world who are hurting. Namaste xx
Aww I'm leaving this practice for the night, I let myself sleep longer on Sundays and this one will be much better to do when I'll be going to bed than when I'm trying to wake myself up 😂 See ya in the evening, Namaste! 🙏
Update: Leaving it for later was a great decision haha
Anyone else did that too?
Thank you ❤️ best thing to do before my exam🌸🌸🌸
This journey has really transformed me!! Love you Adriene 🥰
Day 176 in a row. I am a little under the weather today and was feeling a little trepidation when I rolled out my mat, but like so many times before today's practice was tailor made for me and I feel so much better.
Through this journey I can see the transformation in me . Thanks for making me see the real me . Namaste. Love from India xx
My family thanks you, Adriene! The mix of full-mind-body meditation and yoga here is really appreciated! Nice~!!!!
I've had a very though weekend, full of things I had to do, people I had to meet,... So I wasn't able to do yesterdays session and thought about doing it now that it's sunday evening and I'm finally home again. But at first I was like okay I'm just gonna do yesterdays session and just be one day "behind" and that's okay. But as I saw todays theme it was clear that I would just do both even tough I just wanted to go to bed so badly. After these two very full days I literally felt the whole stress clinging to my body. So I just did as if yesterdays and todays videos were one session. And it was the best I could have done. Yesterday's gave me a bit of energy back and today's was just perfect for how I felt. Throughout the whole session I felt the stress falling of my body. It was so amazing.
Adriene, I am SO thankful for you. These Yoga-Sessions are my highlight of the day. You motivate me to look after me, listen to myself and my body and to take care. So I did today. I'm so thankful that I'm even writing this comment even if I'm not an comment-person at all and even tough before these practices I just wanted to go to bed. Thank you, Adriene. For everything. You make this world a better place.
Lots of love from Germany!!!
I fell asleep for 2 hours after practice, still on my mat. Never had a more beautiful bed😄❤️
After cycling yesterday this was just what my shoulders, hips and mind needed. Thank you.
Today I was sore and kind of down - and this practice was a beautifil moment to relax and unwind during quarentine. During savasana a soft breeze started to come trhough the windows and birds started to sing :') Thank you, Adriane.
For Day 25 of Home I am so pleased after my dreadful head cold to be recovered and able to use my Ujjayi breathing for this lovely practice. Super relaxing, super stretchy, very loving and amazingly emotional at the end ! We love you Adriene, see you tomorrow on the mat with you for Keep 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💞
I’ve been revisiting the Home series as a personal yoga advent this year, and this was the perfect practice for Christmas morning! Wishing everyone who celebrates a merry Christmas 🎄
A perfect Sunday practice! Thanks Adriene 🙏
as soon as she said "Way to show up today" i just started CRYING! all day i've been unable to get motivated and just dragging my feet through my work, feeling like i got nothing done. that made me feel incredible
That was lovely. I jumped back into bed and am feeling very relaxed. Thank you.
When Adriene said "the right hamstring is getting some sunshine" I smiled because I did my practice outdoors today and the sun really WAS shining right at my hamstring! So happy to be on this journey with all of you. Can't believe there's only 5 more days! Namaste
Thank you for this softness ❤️
I've read comments where people have said that they have randomly burst into tears during practice but I couldn't relate... Until today! When we were doing the hamstring stretches, I began to cry, so very abruptly! The yoga mat really is a reflection, a mirror.
Thank you for the love you weave so beautifully into these videos, Adriene ❤
Whew. Who knew after a weird night's sleep I would need to stretch out and relax first thing in the AM... But it was timely! 🙃
Thanks Adriene for these terrific tutorials.This 30 Days journey is really motivating me to do yoga every day.I hope ,you'll come up with these sort of "30 Days Journey" more in future cause it's really practical :))
Nice to unwind, let go and loosen up those hip sockets, felt the tightness being released. Thank you Adriene! ❤️
What a beautiful practice! Every muscle of my body is at peace. Thank you so much, Adrienne! You're a gift
Been under the weather and a little behind on 30 days. However, this was perfect for me today. Calm and peaceful but I got simple movements in. Thanks.
This is how I imagine a moving meditation. Notice your thoughts, acknowledge them and let them pass like the clouds in the sky.
Thank you Adriene!
That was so relaxing and calm. I somehow felt strongly connected to other people while doing this. I'm feeling so grateful 💙
"The awesome in me recognizes the awesome in you", Namaste 🙏🏽❤️🐶❤️🐶🙏🏽
The timing of this series has been right on point. The love and thought and hard work you put into the 30 day challenges is just beautiful. Thank you, truly. The awesome in me bows to the awesome in you, Namaste🙏❤🐾
Oh. Today's practice passed too quickly! I almost want to do it all over again. Thank you so much Adriene, for this journey back Home. I feel like I'm at 'Home' in my body. It's one of the most beautiful feelings. ❤
Perfect timing for this unwind session!! Lots of love in, lots of love out💗Buenos días a todos! 🌞Thank you Adriene, Namaste to everyone 🙏🏻💗💫🌟✨
Don't hate, meditate. Be kind, unwind! Thank you SO MUCH Adriene. Of all the days so far today was the day I needed this the most.
I'm feeling so relaxed and at peace. I meditated afterwards mostly in savasana. Life is good
I fell asleep in today's practice, woke up an hour later on my yoga mat...it's actually a really comfy place to nap! Thanks Adriene, I really feel better after this. I had an awful day in quarantine and it just made me feel that little bit brighter.
I had a few aches and pains from yesterday so this was perfect for me today. Thank you😊
Told my Mum (91) that in January I pratice yoga every day with a wonderful Yoga teacher from Austin/ Texas. OMG, she said, until I told her that you are on youtube. But it just feels like you are in our home. So real, so connected. Only five days left......
I have thoroughly enjoyed this home practice so far and today was just wonderful.. feeling super relaxed but ready for the day. Namaste 🙏
Day 17 of quarantine, day 25 of home yoga 🧘♀️ thank you
Perfection! Thank you! These videos are beyond helpful ♥️♥️♥️
I've been doing this during Covid. Adriene, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love. This has been so beneficial to my wellbeing during this time. Thank you thank you thank you
Day 25: Unwind! I've invited a sence of relaxation with the passing clouds. Breath in breath out🧘♂️ towards the sky
I saved this practice for bedtime. I even got my teenage son to join me...when he heard pillow and blanket. We were both yawning and had no problem relaxing. It’s bittersweet there’s only 5 days left. Much gratitude 🙏 Adriene.🥰🥰🥰💕💕😇
My happy baby somehow always ends being more of an "upward struggling turtle"... Oh well, still one of my favourite moves!
Adrienne always seems to know what I need! This was perfect after a migraine and awful night's sleep the night before. Thank you 🙏
OMG, I have that same mug (well, the "d" version) *and* I'm using it today! Mug-twinning with Adriene makes me stupid happy. 😁
Had to come back because I realized I didn't leave a comment! 😦 My goal is to unwind my thoughts from my reality. What I am thinking is not always what's true. In fact, it usually isn't. Returning to breath. Breath has your back ❤ Thanks Adriene, Namaste 🙏
