Anybody else super proud of themselves for sticking to the 30 days of yoga thus far? Thanks Adrienne and fellow 30-days-people for providing an accepting atmosphere for beginners :)
I decided to take 1 day away from the mat yesterday and I regret it deeply. 😅 I was depressed and anxious all day yesterday and today, I felt so stiff doing this practice. But after i finished, I feel immediately so much better. Adriene has made my body addicted to yoga! I'm never skipping a day on the mat again. Even if I feel not up to whatever the day's practice is, I'll substitute with an easier practice or a foundations video.
I am definitely proud of myself. I'm on vacation and I still did the exercises. I'm going to keep going with the other series as well and also look into getting a class in Atlanta Georgia. Does anyone have any suggestions?
My husband and I, ages 68 and 70, started this during quarantine and we are on Day 18. Although we do a lot of modification poses, this is a great workout. My husband has never done anything like this and he enjoys it very much.
Day 1...2.3 million views, day 18...201,514 views. I feel like Im bopping along in a version of RUclips "Survivor" Yoga. Nobody votes me off of the 30 Days of Yoga Island! Ill see you kids at the finish like with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. Thanks for posting this series Adriene, you rock.
I made it to day 18. I am going to do this for the rest of my life. Adriene you are an amazing teacher. Your gift is much appreciated. This has changed my life.
I was 335 pounds when I began doing Yoga about 30 days ago. 18 days ago I found Yoga with Adriene. I started eating healthier and maintaining a 2000 calorie a day diet. To date Adriene and better eating has helped me to lose 25 pounds. Thank you so much for sharing this practice with me.
+Brad Goodman That s true. I lost little bit also, I dont have exact numbers, but I see improvement. I am used to workout hard as I do lots of sports, so I can afford do more advanced stuff Adriene is showing, but still ... such a big difference between just excercicing and yoga. I feel my body, feel the strength and especially mental strength :)
Can I just mention how much I love that you practice/teach yoga in normal tanks and bottoms instead of flashy, expensive, skimpy workout clothes? No hate to those who prefer that (different strokes!), but it's nice to see a yoga teacher/personality who has a different, more low-key style. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
She has videos wearing more flashy revealing outfits. It just depends on her mood! It shouldn't matter what the person is wearing. What matters is if they're a good teacher or not. 👍
@@crystalgarza1675 You make a good point, but I think the comment was pointing to something we all love about Adriene-her accessibility. Part of the reason we love her videos is that she's all of us. And sometimes we like to be flashy, too, but I'm glad to see shirts or pants that look like those I wear as a newbie at home. She's at home, too. It would be odd if she dressed up in a flashy style for that comfy, warming space. It would subconsciously give us a feeling of less authenticity. Authenticity is her magic.
I did this as my first ever 30 days when it first came out years ago. I decided to start with it again in this #socialdistance life. I hope others are finding connecting through this channel as grounding as I do. I will do all the 30 days if that is what it takes to heal our world and our people at the moment. Love and light to you all.
Only thing I am not very happy about is that there are 30 days of yoga for this year but youtube did not showed them to me when I started this. But it is day 18 so after day 30 there will be time to start another 30 days :D
Glicer14 she does one every year. I have moved on to the one she put out in 2016 “yoga camp.” She gives them all different names. Enjoy this one. It’s a great starter one. They all have a different tone too.
Who's doing this in 2019? Day 18 was my favourite practice yet! I felt so much more flexible and I just can't believe what my body is able to do now. Feeling better than ever! Thank you Adriene!!
I made it all the way down to squat and got stuck 😂😂 it was so funny trying to get myself up. I collapsed started laughing at myself. I’m really enjoying this challenge. Getting to know myself better and have moments like that with myself 💕 I love it out here! Thank you Adrienne💕💕 And to everyone that made it this far, the comments section is my fav while cooling off after every practice. See you all at day 30 ✨
As a fellow youtubers I understand that you may not even see this but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm only on day 19 and for the first time in 6 years my back is pain free and I'm able to move like a 16 year old again. 6 years ago I injured my back lifting weights and have been living a very pore life. I was at rock bottom with how my body felt when I found your channel and because of you I am happy and feel really great. Thank you so much. I will sub you until the end of time. :)
+grierwolfe Similar story here. Hurty my back playing football (soccer). The problem wasn't so much the injury itself just that I never fixed it. That was 15 years ago, I was always looking for a quick fix off the physio, bowen therapist, osteopath etc. Needless to say they never worked, Any effects they had wore off quickly. Had to quit football 5 years ago (29 years old). It was getting really bad as I am creeping towards middle age :) and it was starting to affect my work. I've always been a labourer of some sort. Started getting hip problems, which caused balance problems which caused ankle problems. I had the body of a 70 year old man. I thought I was going to have to give up my work. Which would have been a disaster as I don't have much of a brain. Not enough to make the kind of money I do just now :D I hurt myself at work 2 months ago so took a few days off. It never lasts too long. My mate put me onto these videos with Adriene. I kid you not. After Day 1 I felt 100 times better, I have more energy, I'm more agile. I do still hurt at times but the pain has gone from a few days to a few hours or even less. All the new practices failed me. And the ancient art of Yoga saved my life.
It was the hardest for me. Balancing holding my need was definitely not something I'm good at but I continued through it and now I'm resting :-). Are you still doing yoga? I hope to still be doing it in five years :-). Have a great day!
Oh my today was so exciting for me, because I noticed that my shoulders and arms HAVE MUSCLE! It's happening!! I'm building strength in the upper body!! I could also flow comfortably and in sync with your narration. I could slow down the winnyasa-fall to the belly by a great degree! lol And to top it all off my wrists didn't hurt in downward dog! It's a truly a Rock&Roll practise day!
DAY 18: Wonder Yoga!--- Wow wow wow oh Mother Mary of Merriment~!!!! What a wondrous wonderful total body-breath awareness of the now and nowness~!!!! Wunderbar~!!!!! The balance poses were--yes--wonder yoga!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Me: I’m really getting good at this Adrienne: If you want try to move into a squat Me: .....or not. Some day I’ll be there. Doing this after a surgery to get more exercise and I’m loving it so far.
I was amazed, I actually managed the balance poses! There was some wobbliness too but things seem to be getting better, I actually felt a few moments of stillness even on my 'worse' leg. Today was also the first time I managed to get my leading leg all the way up in one go into a lunge, I was so proud of myself and am really looking forward to seeing how my body continues to change as I work through the rest of the 30 days!
I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! Full journey comment thread is on the Day 1 video:) [Day 18/30] - Day 18 - This felt reaaally good for my hip flexors, which have been the common theme of my daily Yoga updates doing this challenge. I also surprised myself that I actually managed to keep my balance AND bend over in that single-legged forward fold! The stretch that I felt was amazing and literally 2 minutes after it, my hips flexors had never felt so loose! Amazing session today.
+Meagan Babin Mine feels a long way off too. But I remember the first time I done it. I don't think I've swore so much in my life. I've not noticed much change in my heal to ground space. But the shape is a lot straighter.
+Meagan Babin I always move my hands a little closer to my heels instead of keeping them exactly where they were in plank pose. I'm not sure how proper that is, but it works for me and gives me a nice stretch. One day I hope to work up to just piking my body upward.
It's taken me about a year for my heels to even brush the mat. A friend if mine has been doing yoga for 5 years and cant. It's all good- just keep practicing
I have been performing on stage since 1978 and teaching since 1980. I've suffered lower back pain for years and shoulder pain due to my occupation as a professional musician and teacher. Your Yoga classes have eliminated any and ALL pain I was suffering!!!! Thank you so much for not grinding us out with practices that are too long and yet so effective!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
wasn't able to fold BUT did manage to successfully peel my foot from the ground without collapsin so WIN! and i must say the thumbnail scared the life out of me but i found today's practice very enjoyable. I could feel the flow between my warriors and boy that felt good! Namaste everyone!
Really loving these balancing postures! They can be frustrating but they also can show you how far along youve come and how much stronger one is becoming. Thank you so much Adriene. Have a lovely day! Namaste xo
I know most people talk about the heels touching the mat in downward dog, but today I got my palms to touch the mat in forward fold!!! I've never been able to do that before in my 25 years of life :)
Thank you Adriene. This is the first time that I am committed to continuous yoga practice in youtube. I aim to continue on with Yoga Camp after I finish this series. :)
I loved how Adriene knew that this was a session that some would find frustrating. I loved even more that even though I couldn't do each pose anywhere near her ability I didn't get frustrated. I didn't because this series has moved with such progression that it's impossible for me to ignore the gains I've made. I highly recommend starting from Day 1 and working through this series. I'm a 50 year old mother of four with very limited pre-yoga before doing this. My teens all have mentioned that yoga has changed my body for the better :) Thank you, Adriene!
Yes! I agree with Johnna. I never would have believed I'd be doing yoga every day. Nor that I COULD be doing yoga! I love it. I feel great. Thank you. Adriene!
I lack motivation when it comes to exercising. I am able to motivate myself to do your 30-day challenges. Thank you for helping me be ok with where I am now.
My body feels so flexible & body naturally is stretch further, deeper and is still in holding poses! It’s only day 18 & what wonder does yoga does to our body! Thank you for being our teacher Adriene 🙏🙏 Each day I look forward to coming on the yoga mat the next day before I go to bed. You’re a blessing! Hi there everyone in this quarantine times, be strong & stay safe! We got this ❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe how quickly my body is adapting to some poses I've always had trouble with. Vinyasa is flowing better and I don't feel like I'm fighting so much with myself. Like you said today "it's done and it's time to move on!" Thank you for creating these amazing tools, Ms Adriene.
Hey Adriene, I don't know how to show my appreciation for what you have done here! It's sort of unbelievable that I have done 18 days yoga so far. Almost everyday I had to talk me into doing just that day, and every time I felt great after wards Love You And wish you a happy new year 💝🌻
This has been my favourite day!! Finally I see downward facing dog as a rest posture!! This challenge also helps me to improve my English listening (English is not my first language) and I understand some postures without having to look at the screen!! Thankss Adriene🥰❤️
Today's practice was the best thing that could happen to me after a long stressful day of work. Going to have dinner and wine now. Life can be so good :) Thank you, Adriene! You put a smile on my face!
Still here. Starting to hate Adrienne a little bit. If you are new to the practice just stay here she says...I can't even get to her "here". But still here.
day 18 ...there isnt anything ive done in life consistently for 18 days ..not one conscious activity that i can think of .. this ..yoga with Adriene .. this has got me for the last 18 days ..and im determined to continue to day 30 .. you are amazing and Yoga is even more amazing ..thank you Adriene 🙏
Did anybody else started rocking the head at the end of the video before Adrienne actually said it? This Yoga challenge is so relaxing and nice to follow! 👌🏻
DAY 18: Wonder Yoga--This session really brought out the idea of "complexity behind simplicity." I love how each move packs so many amazing moments of breath and muscle into its magic! Thanks, Teacher Adriene!
Thank you so much for creating these videos and building a wellness community! This series has been a huge gift for my life and I’ve even started teaching my 66 year old mother, who hardly ever exercises and is very out of touch with her body, some poses a few times a week!
Day 18: I can balance on my injured knee! Yay! Mobility!! I started this practice noticing all the things I could NOT do. I ended the practice by focusing on all the things I COULD DO! What a mind shift....i just DID yoga for my brain and on my body! What what! (This practice was terribly hard! I re-started it twice, to release my back it was so tight it was messing up with my lunges.) Thank you for guiding me on this journey, I CAN and I AM! Thank you Adriene! Namaste!
Really noticed a change this time round. I balanced for longer this time and there is no knee ouch when I perform a peaceful warrior. I'm so pleased with my progress. I'm off to leap buildings in a single bounds.
I’m in hospital and also on my ‘yoga journey’ and unfortunately I have to be away from my mum. Because of this I decided to record myself doing the pose where you bring your folded leg up and balance, and somehow I can also bend forward without blocks to touch the mat with my fingertips! Anyway so I watched my video before I sent it to my mum and I had no idea it looked so beautiful and effortless? It felt effortless!!!! I’ve been known as ‘clumsy’ my entire life but finally I believed in myself. I’m just these 18 days I’ve progressed dramatically 😊
Thank you for the work you do. I have an active mind ,and have a hard time calming down. I wish you had more smooth joga flows, with breathing, then the stillness at the end. With a million viewers, I doubt you read comments, but thank you for all that you do.
Copying this: I made it to day 18. I am going to do this for the rest of my life. Adriene you are an amazing teacher. Your gift is much appreciated. This has changed my life.
I had to stop halfway through because I got frustrated I couldn't keep up. After shaking it off, I just started over and made sure to just listen closely instead of keeping my eyes on the TV. And I did it!!! DAY 18 YOU GUYS!!! WOOH! 💪😍
I do this practice with a heavy heart, I have been so hard on myself recently and it is really showing through an anxious mind and body. I do this practice with a loving heart to help with this anxiety. I have been doing yoga everyday since February and I think I am seeing how there are dips and valleys when practicing this way. I am definitely going to stick it out and keep going even though I am not really feeling myself or yoga 100% for that matter. It took me to getting on the mat to actually stop and tell myself that I love myself and to release my past self-sabatoge if you will. It's already working! Thank you Adriene, I am so grateful for this practice as usual.
Adriene! Yoga has made some serious positive changes to my everyday life. I liked yoga before but now I don't feel like I can ever go back! These balancing practices are awesome and I'm starting to really get them which feels amazing since usually I am clumsy. Thank you so much for bringing life back into my life. It's good to feel alive!
I AM REALLY ENJOYING DOING these classes. I am going to continue daily from now until I can't anymore. It has helped my gut health as well as giving me more flexability and making my body look and feel so much better
My kung fu teacher taught me a great trick for balancing: never, ever, think about your feet. Your body knows what it is doing, the second you put your head into it you're going to overthink it and loose balance. Just mindfully consider your breath instead!
@@diamondsofsix I read your comment after finishing the video and just tried one of the balancing poses again, this time focusing on the breath instead of my body, and it did indeed feel so much easier - thanks for this great tip!
Sounds silly but in today's practice I realised that I could fully touch my toes with straight legs in a forward fold. I'm filled with joy. I'm like a joyful child today. Thank you Adrienne. Namaste
Dear Adriene, I know you have heard this a lot because you are a great teacher, thank you for the series and thank you for kind and sweet instructions in every lesson. I completed 18 sessions in one and half month, and my strength grew noticeably. You have been so so wonderful. :)
Doing this in 2019! Had a super weird moment today when I tried to lift my leg just for fun behause why not just casually lift your leg up high, right? But then it went higher and higher without any difficulties! I just watched it and said „LOL what the hell is happening to my body?!“ THIS is happening, Yoga is happening and i am completely fascinated how big of an effect those 18 days have had! I will reward myself with a Yoga mat on day 30, cant wait! Thanks for being an awesome guide on this jorney✨🧘♀️
+Yoga With Adriene Just a word of encouragement: I don't practice with you every day, but when I do, it's always just right! Thanks for this 30 day series Adriene!
One of my knees is a lot more fragile after being partially dislocation several times, so I was able to go all the way down to squatting on the right side with my knee bent and had to stay standing and holding my ankle on the left side. It can be frustrating that one side is capable of so much more, something I’ve noticed almost every practice so far, but I love that Adriene always emphasizes that there is nothing wrong with being at different levels, and 18 days later, even my left side is feeling stronger, and I’ve noticed my balance has improved on both sides SO much! Gotta look at all the positives and not dwell on where you struggle!
Wow Adriene!! When I started yoga (thanks to you!) a bit over a year ago I reached day 18 and got to this move and was like:'no way! which normal person is capable of doing that?!' today I redid this session and 'BOOYAH' just did it!!!!! It feels so awesome knowing that my body has changed thanks to your yoga sessions in a year! Thank you so much!!
We are about to get a bad hurricane here in Florida, and I could have easily chose to skip today and go get the essentials.. BUT, my mind kept telling me "come here first". Now, I am prepared my mind is completely calm after today's practice and put back into the place it should be, without fear, anxiety, or worry.. Thank you Adriene!!!!
Thank you Adriene, feel frustrated with my inflexibility today and not able to do the bent squat or even to the bend let alone the squat but being kind to myself
The balancing poses were especially challenging when I had my five-month-old bumping up against me in his little roll-y chair. I really do like the balancing poses!
Due to this series, I've done yoga for 21 days, which is the amount of time it takes to develop a habit! This is a habit I've wanted for a very long time. I'm so excited! :)
Elena A No, I also struggle with the balancing poses, although yesterday I did better than I had done previously, so I’m hoping I’ll eventually improve. I do find it helps if I fix my eyes on a spot directly in front of my eyes.
@@allisonhayes8082I’ve always been heavy footed and unsteady and clumsy, was literally diagnosed with borderline dyspraxia but my best advice about the balancing poses is clear your mind. If I think ‘I’m going to fall I hope I don’t fall’ I’ll fall but if I just feel my foot on the mat and pushing into my leg, relax I can just fold forward and not fall …

Standing on left leg with my right foot at my hip crease and bent over in a forward fold. I was getting very wobbly and waiting for Adrienne to call time on the pose for ages before I realized my internet had frozen. couldn't have happened at a worse time!
Day 17 released something in my about halfway through the practice and I started crying and couldn't stop... I needed it though. It released all the stress of life away. Day 18 was the first time I could chaturanga all the way without breaking and falling. I can feel myself strengthen every day and all my neck, spine, and back pain is gone from my accident. I cannot thank you enough. You help make me laugh and enjoy each day...
It's suspected that the body holds a lot of our past woes, I think yoga squeezes out a lot of that past pain. Aren't we fortunate! And Adriene, she's nothing short of a angel sent to help facilitate it!
Who else is doing this in quarantine?! I'm in NYC! Where are you from? I've been doing yoga every day, mostly with Adriene!! So good for my mental and physical health right now. Hope y'all are staying safe!!
I love you, Adriene ! I nearly chickened out of day 18 when I saw the pose on the front image but I'm so glad I didn't. So proud of myself for persisting and as you keep telling us, it doesn't matter if it's not perfect. I'm so enjoying the 30 day challenge. Thank you very very much.
Anybody else super proud of themselves for sticking to the 30 days of yoga thus far? Thanks Adrienne and fellow 30-days-people for providing an accepting atmosphere for beginners :)
Yessss!! I almost never stick with these 30 day challenges, but this is the first time I've gotten this far!!
I am. Go girl!

ive skipped many days but hey progress is progress lol im still getting to my mat so its okay!
Did anyone else just do that move and say "I can't believe my body just let me do that?" I love this series so much!
I was so surprised and proud of myself at the same time
yes, i can't believe i could do that pose.
My husband and I, ages 68 and 70, started this during quarantine and we are on Day 18. Although we do a lot of modification poses, this is a great workout. My husband has never done anything like this and he enjoys it very much.

+grierwolfe Similar story here. Hurty my back playing football (soccer). The problem wasn't so much the injury itself just that I never fixed it. That was 15 years ago,
I was always looking for a quick fix off the physio, bowen therapist, osteopath etc. Needless to say they never worked, Any effects they had wore off quickly. Had to quit football 5 years ago (29 years old).
It was getting really bad as I am creeping towards middle age :) and it was starting to affect my work. I've always been a labourer of some sort.

All the new practices failed me. And the ancient art of Yoga saved my life.

It was the hardest for me. Balancing holding my need was definitely not something I'm good at but I continued through it and now I'm resting :-). Are you still doing yoga? I hope to still be doing it in five years :-). Have a great day!
#quarentineyoga, thank you Adriene for providing us with this platform.
Oh my today was so exciting for me, because I noticed that my shoulders and arms HAVE MUSCLE! It's happening!! I'm building strength in the upper body!! I could also flow comfortably and in sync with your narration. I could slow down the winnyasa-fall to the belly by a great degree! lol And to top it all off my wrists didn't hurt in downward dog! It's a truly a Rock&Roll practise day!

Me: I’m really getting good at this
Adrienne: If you want try to move into a squat
Me: .....or not.
Some day I’ll be there. Doing this after a surgery to get more exercise and I’m loving it so far.
Lol I couldn’t even grab my ankle and move my leg to my hip at that part!! Baby steps 😂
I was amazed, I actually managed the balance poses! There was some wobbliness too but things seem to be getting better, I actually felt a few moments of stillness even on my 'worse' leg. Today was also the first time I managed to get my leading leg all the way up in one go into a lunge, I was so proud of myself and am really looking forward to seeing how my body continues to change as I work through the rest of the 30 days!
+Annalie Albelo they definitely weren't long moments of stillness but I'll take what I can get!
Today is finally the day where I can tell I'm getting more flexible. Awesome!! This was fun.
Last days have been difficult for me, I don’t feel like going but here I am. Discipline was my intention with this challenge.
I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! Full journey comment thread is on the Day 1 video:) [Day 18/30]

Day 18 - This felt reaaally good for my hip flexors, which have been the common theme of my daily Yoga updates doing this challenge. I also surprised myself that I actually managed to keep my balance AND bend over in that single-legged forward fold! The stretch that I felt was amazing and literally 2 minutes after it, my hips flexors had never felt so loose! Amazing session today.
The serotonin boost I get from hearing the music at the end is insane because like
Yay!! I did it! 😭
I'm so far away from being able to bring my heels to the mat during downward facing dog. Hoping one day I will get there
+Meagan Babin I have so much trouble with that too!
+Meagan Babin Mine feels a long way off too. But I remember the first time I done it. I don't think I've swore so much in my life.
I've not noticed much change in my heal to ground space. But the shape is a lot straighter.
+Meagan Babin I always move my hands a little closer to my heels instead of keeping them exactly where they were in plank pose. I'm not sure how proper that is, but it works for me and gives me a nice stretch. One day I hope to work up to just piking my body upward.
same :/ not sure if i'll be there by day 30 even
It's taken me about a year for my heels to even brush the mat. A friend if mine has been doing yoga for 5 years and cant. It's all good- just keep practicing
I have been performing on stage since 1978 and teaching since 1980. I've suffered lower back pain for years and shoulder pain due to my occupation as a professional musician and teacher. Your Yoga classes have eliminated any and ALL pain I was suffering!!!! Thank you so much for not grinding us out with practices that are too long and yet so effective!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
That made me feel so happy! You must be getting so many people through isolation!
Adriene is my favorite human to ever human.
wasn't able to fold BUT did manage to successfully peel my foot from the ground without collapsin so WIN! and i must say the thumbnail scared the life out of me but i found today's practice very enjoyable. I could feel the flow between my warriors and boy that felt good!
Namaste everyone!
Really loving these balancing postures! They can be frustrating but they also can show you how far along youve come and how much stronger one is becoming. Thank you so much Adriene. Have a lovely day! Namaste xo
I know most people talk about the heels touching the mat in downward dog, but today I got my palms to touch the mat in forward fold!!! I've never been able to do that before in my 25 years of life :)
Thank you Adriene. This is the first time that I am committed to continuous yoga practice in youtube. I aim to continue on with Yoga Camp after I finish this series. :)
Me too
Same here!
Aye!
i keep doing it froom 30 Day yoga challenge to yoga camp and i have never been happier in my life this is the 3th time im doing 30 Days of yoga
OOOH...I'm doing the sane thing in 2020!
I loved how Adriene knew that this was a session that some would find frustrating. I loved even more that even though I couldn't do each pose anywhere near her ability I didn't get frustrated. I didn't because this series has moved with such progression that it's impossible for me to ignore the gains I've made. I highly recommend starting from Day 1 and working through this series. I'm a 50 year old mother of four with very limited pre-yoga before doing this. My teens all have mentioned that yoga has changed my body for the better :) Thank you, Adriene!
Yes! I agree with Johnna. I never would have believed I'd be doing yoga every day. Nor that I COULD be doing yoga! I love it. I feel great. Thank you. Adriene!
I lack motivation when it comes to exercising. I am able to motivate myself to do your 30-day challenges. Thank you for helping me be ok with where I am now.
My body feels so flexible & body naturally is stretch further, deeper and is still in holding poses! It’s only day 18 & what wonder does yoga does to our body! Thank you for being our teacher Adriene 🙏🙏 Each day I look forward to coming on the yoga mat the next day before I go to bed. You’re a blessing! Hi there everyone in this quarantine times, be strong & stay safe! We got this ❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe how quickly my body is adapting to some poses I've always had trouble with. Vinyasa is flowing better and I don't feel like I'm fighting so much with myself. Like you said today "it's done and it's time to move on!" Thank you for creating these amazing tools, Ms Adriene.
Hey Adriene, I don't know how to show my appreciation for what you have done here! It's sort of unbelievable that I have done 18 days yoga so far. Almost everyday I had to talk me into doing just that day, and every time I felt great after wards
Love You
And wish you a happy new year 💝🌻
TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY I WAS ABLE TO DO A BALANCE POSITION THE ENTIRE TIME WITHOUT FALLING OVER!! Thank you Adriene for helping me stick with it!!
This has been my favourite day!! Finally I see downward facing dog as a rest posture!! This challenge also helps me to improve my English listening (English is not my first language) and I understand some postures without having to look at the screen!! Thankss Adriene🥰❤️
Today's practice was the best thing that could happen to me after a long stressful day of work. Going to have dinner and wine now. Life can be so good :) Thank you, Adriene! You put a smile on my face!
Yoga is teaching me patience. Slow down. Don't rush it. I am seeing my strength everyday and am encouraged by my weaknesses. Namaste🙏
Where's my 2020 30 day yogis?!?!
Trey Douyon 🙌🏼 best way to spend the pandemic!
@@elsamcguire2519 YES!!
Oh we’re here!
Still here. Starting to hate Adrienne a little bit. If you are new to the practice just stay here she says...I can't even get to her "here". But still here.
2020!
I am absolutely loving this series!
Hope to some day have the ability to balance like her! So tough for me right now but not giving up.
Keep pushing! Balance is a challenge for me as well. Gets better with practice
YOU ARE HERE, and I think that's pretty lovely. :) be gentle with your own fine self!
Thank you Adriene... For 2 years I am practicing with these videos... Great... Thanks for this precious gift.
day 18 ...there isnt anything ive done in life consistently for 18 days ..not one conscious activity that i can think of .. this ..yoga with Adriene .. this has got me for the last 18 days ..and im determined to continue to day 30 .. you are amazing and Yoga is even more amazing ..thank you Adriene 🙏
Did anybody else started rocking the head at the end of the video before Adrienne actually said it? This Yoga challenge is so relaxing and nice to follow! 👌🏻
Who's doing this in 2019? Lemme hear ya!
I am here, a German in Manila in September 2019. Namaste to all who are in this together at this time.
I’m here. Uk. On my 4th round of 30 days now. Started in April and feeling much stronger now.
Me!
🖐 ja 😊
Namaste from down under!
I am grateful or this practice, my bookshelf for supporting me through the balancing postures and all you fellow Yogis spreading light and love. xo
DAY 18: Wonder Yoga--This session really brought out the idea of "complexity behind simplicity." I love how each move packs so many amazing moments of breath and muscle into its magic! Thanks, Teacher Adriene!
Thank you so much for creating these videos and building a wellness community! This series has been a huge gift for my life and I’ve even started teaching my 66 year old mother, who hardly ever exercises and is very out of touch with her body, some poses a few times a week!
Great sweating workout. Frustrating now on most balance poses, yet I am on the mat and I know that means a lot. So thanks Adriene.
Day 18: I can balance on my injured knee! Yay! Mobility!! I started this practice noticing all the things I could NOT do. I ended the practice by focusing on all the things I COULD DO! What a mind shift....i just DID yoga for my brain and on my body! What what! (This practice was terribly hard! I re-started it twice, to release my back it was so tight it was messing up with my lunges.) Thank you for guiding me on this journey, I CAN and I AM! Thank you Adriene! Namaste!
Really noticed a change this time round. I balanced for longer this time and there is no knee ouch when I perform a peaceful warrior. I'm so pleased with my progress. I'm off to leap buildings in a single bounds.
I’m in hospital and also on my ‘yoga journey’ and unfortunately I have to be away from my mum. Because of this I decided to record myself doing the pose where you bring your folded leg up and balance, and somehow I can also bend forward without blocks to touch the mat with my fingertips! Anyway so I watched my video before I sent it to my mum and I had no idea it looked so beautiful and effortless? It felt effortless!!!! I’ve been known as ‘clumsy’ my entire life but finally I believed in myself. I’m just these 18 days I’ve progressed dramatically 😊
Confidence will lead you on. Congratulations!!!!
Day 18 is awesome! I was surprised that my body allowed me to actually do that balancing squat. Thanks Adriene!
Thank you for the work you do. I have an active mind ,and have a hard time calming down. I wish you had more smooth joga flows, with breathing, then the stillness at the end.
With a million viewers, I doubt you read comments, but thank you for all that you do.
Copying this: I made it to day 18. I am going to do this for the rest of my life. Adriene you are an amazing teacher. Your gift is much appreciated. This has changed my life.
I had to stop halfway through because I got frustrated I couldn't keep up. After shaking it off, I just started over and made sure to just listen closely instead of keeping my eyes on the TV. And I did it!!!
DAY 18 YOU GUYS!!! WOOH! 💪😍
When I have a bad day, I tell myself that everything's gonna be okay , tonight I will take care of myself with Adrienne. Thank you .
Nothing like some Yoga with Adriene to help kick those hurricane blues! Hope you're staying safe this weekend. Namaste.
I do this practice with a heavy heart, I have been so hard on myself recently and it is really showing through an anxious mind and body. I do this practice with a loving heart to help with this anxiety. I have been doing yoga everyday since February and I think I am seeing how there are dips and valleys when practicing this way. I am definitely going to stick it out and keep going even though I am not really feeling myself or yoga 100% for that matter. It took me to getting on the mat to actually stop and tell myself that I love myself and to release my past self-sabatoge if you will. It's already working!
Thank you Adriene, I am so grateful for this practice as usual.
Adriene! Yoga has made some serious positive changes to my everyday life. I liked yoga before but now I don't feel like I can ever go back! These balancing practices are awesome and I'm starting to really get them which feels amazing since usually I am clumsy. Thank you so much for bringing life back into my life. It's good to feel alive!
Anybody doing it in 2021? I am glad i made it this far . Thank you Adriene
I got so frustrated with my balance but I learned that is something I need to keep working on. Day 18 done. ✅
This video was one of my favorites so far! Simple, slow, but still made my calves burrrnnn and sweat from top to bottom. Namaste everyone
Bára Křepínská i
"slow". lol. I was so behind her on every single vinyasa. I'm still getting into the lunge and she's 2 steps ahead
I AM REALLY ENJOYING DOING these classes. I am going to continue daily from now until I can't anymore. It has helped my gut health as well as giving me more flexability and making my body look and feel so much better
I find the balancing so hard, I guess it takes time, strength and patience. Thank you Adriene you are an inspiration!!
My kung fu teacher taught me a great trick for balancing: never, ever, think about your feet. Your body knows what it is doing, the second you put your head into it you're going to overthink it and loose balance. Just mindfully consider your breath instead!
@@diamondsofsix I read your comment after finishing the video and just tried one of the balancing poses again, this time focusing on the breath instead of my body, and it did indeed feel so much easier - thanks for this great tip!
Adriene, I really adore practicing yoga with you! You are amazing, the way I make a progress with you it's just wonderful !!!
Sounds silly but in today's practice I realised that I could fully touch my toes with straight legs in a forward fold. I'm filled with joy. I'm like a joyful child today. Thank you Adrienne. Namaste
Dear Adriene, I know you have heard this a lot because you are a great teacher, thank you for the series and thank you for kind and sweet instructions in every lesson. I completed 18 sessions in one and half month, and my strength grew noticeably. You have been so so wonderful. :)
Doing this in 2019! Had a super weird moment today when I tried to lift my leg just for fun behause why not just casually lift your leg up high, right? But then it went higher and higher without any difficulties! I just watched it and said „LOL what the hell is happening to my body?!“
THIS is happening, Yoga is happening and i am completely fascinated how big of an effect those 18 days have had!
I will reward myself with a Yoga mat on day 30, cant wait!
Thanks for being an awesome guide on this jorney✨🧘♀️
This gave me the inspiration to get a self-congratulating yoga mat on day 30!
Every day is a great day with Adriene. Namaste
Am I the only one here in 2024?
Me
Me too
I’m here, I’m really enjoying this 30 days
Nope!
You are not alone
+Yoga With Adriene Just a word of encouragement: I don't practice with you every day, but when I do, it's always just right! Thanks for this 30 day series Adriene!
One of my knees is a lot more fragile after being partially dislocation several times, so I was able to go all the way down to squatting on the right side with my knee bent and had to stay standing and holding my ankle on the left side. It can be frustrating that one side is capable of so much more, something I’ve noticed almost every practice so far, but I love that Adriene always emphasizes that there is nothing wrong with being at different levels, and 18 days later, even my left side is feeling stronger, and I’ve noticed my balance has improved on both sides SO much! Gotta look at all the positives and not dwell on where you struggle!
An energizing and lovely sequence to kickstart my day! You never fail to do this Adriene, thank you!! Namaste.
Wow Adriene!! When I started yoga (thanks to you!) a bit over a year ago I reached day 18 and got to this move and was like:'no way! which normal person is capable of doing that?!' today I redid this session and 'BOOYAH' just did it!!!!! It feels so awesome knowing that my body has changed thanks to your yoga sessions in a year! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Adriene and to the whole community!
I may just restart the 30 day challenge when this is over.....or maybe do it again backwards. Whatever I do I shall keep going for real!!!!!!!!!
Relocating now from PA to NH! So much excitement and stress. 30 days of yoga is keeping me grounded and healthy during this process! Thank you, A!!!
We are about to get a bad hurricane here in Florida, and I could have easily chose to skip today and go get the essentials.. BUT, my mind kept telling me "come here first". Now, I am prepared my mind is completely calm after today's practice and put back into the place it should be, without fear, anxiety, or worry.. Thank you Adriene!!!!
Thank you Adriene, feel frustrated with my inflexibility today and not able to do the bent squat or even to the bend let alone the squat but being kind to myself
Great practice. I was so tired today but I did the thing!! Thank you Adriene
Love the balancing poses! This video is a good one to get going on a Monday morning! Thank you Adriene for making your yoga videos available to us!
The balancing poses were especially challenging when I had my five-month-old bumping up against me in his little roll-y chair. I really do like the balancing poses!
Due to this series, I've done yoga for 21 days, which is the amount of time it takes to develop a habit! This is a habit I've wanted for a very long time. I'm so excited! :)
Am I the only one who finds the balancing poses really, REALLY hard?!!!
Elena A No, I also struggle with the balancing poses, although yesterday I did better than I had done previously, so I’m hoping I’ll eventually improve. I do find it helps if I fix my eyes on a spot directly in front of my eyes.
I do!
@@allisonhayes8082I’ve always been heavy footed and unsteady and clumsy, was literally diagnosed with borderline dyspraxia but my best advice about the balancing poses is clear your mind. If I think ‘I’m going to fall I hope I don’t fall’ I’ll fall but if I just feel my foot on the mat and pushing into my leg, relax I can just fold forward and not fall …

Thank you Adriene for bringing me back to my love of yoga
wow! it's unbelievable how you can mix up the exact thing I need for the day. I just love this sequence, perfect.
For some reason this was so much fun today!
*ending music comes on*
"Goodbye bestfriend );"
Standing on left leg with my right foot at my hip crease and bent over in a forward fold. I was getting very wobbly and waiting for Adrienne to call time on the pose for ages before I realized my internet had frozen. couldn't have happened at a worse time!
Day 17 released something in my about halfway through the practice and I started crying and couldn't stop... I needed it though. It released all the stress of life away. Day 18 was the first time I could chaturanga all the way without breaking and falling. I can feel myself strengthen every day and all my neck, spine, and back pain is gone from my accident. I cannot thank you enough. You help make me laugh and enjoy each day...
It's suspected that the body holds a lot of our past woes, I think yoga squeezes out a lot of that past pain. Aren't we fortunate! And Adriene, she's nothing short of a angel sent to help facilitate it!
Who else is doing this in quarantine?! I'm in NYC! Where are you from? I've been doing yoga every day, mostly with Adriene!! So good for my mental and physical health right now. Hope y'all are staying safe!!
I'm very proud of myself- I was able to do the one-legged squat! I felt like such an accomplished yogi lmao, now the tops of my thighs are burning
I love you, Adriene ! I nearly chickened out of day 18 when I saw the pose on the front image but I'm so glad I didn't. So proud of myself for persisting and as you keep telling us, it doesn't matter if it's not perfect. I'm so enjoying the 30 day challenge. Thank you very very much.
