    I've followed this video 33 mornings in a row, and it still cracks me up at the end when Adriene says, "That was just a simple sequence to get us started." I'm 52. It has definitely not gotten "simple" for me yet, but it's so gratifying to witness myself becoming stronger, slimmer, and more flexible each day. I'm so grateful for this video. Thank you, Adriene!

      Hi Jasmine, I hope you are holding on and excited about tomorrow, amazing badge to have ;) I wanted to tell you about two tools I found incredibly effective, one is tapping technique (many simple instructions on youtube) which is 2-4 minutes powerful amazing 'switch'. When I first started, it was gentle relief, but the longer I did it, the stronger the feel of bliss was. Also, if you know your painful triggers, like memories of trauma or moments that made you take wrong turn, this will help you rewire your brain to detach pain and distress from these past events, extremely powerful and works miracles, like years of therapy in few session at home and for free. Great for sudden anxiety and cravings too.
      Second is subliminal programming, I like work of Thomas Hall and I also use free download from mindofwinner.com where in very easy way you can select or create your own msgs that pops on your screen while you work or watch something.
      Good luck!

      Good job!🎉 keep up the good work I love Adrienne bc she makes yoga so approachable! Whenever I’ve been not practicing I start at her older videos and stay there until my body is curious for more. The best working out you can do is what you will do more often, you don’t need to run miles to work out your body just keep doing what feels good and keeps you coming back. I like to walk on my treadmill or do beginner yoga if I’ve been not working out much. Then I naturally build in that, you don’t have to wear yourself out every day! Be proud of yourself for everytime you hit the mat!❤

    I've been doing this session every morning for 5 weeks and I feel amazing. It was really hard at first, I almost passed out trying to do my first downward dog! Now it's my favorite pose. I've lost 10 lbs and my arthritis is improved. I am so much stronger and have flexibility back - I can not only touch my toes (something I hadn't been able to do for 10 years) but get my hands flat now! Thank you so much Adriene - I think you have saved my life. Kate, Brighton, UK.

    I once did Yoga with Adriene every day for a year. It changed my life. But I 'fell off the mat,' as they say, and that changed my life too, but not so well. Returning to practicing with Adriene feels like hanging out with a sweet friend I'd somehow lost touch with. Showing up really is the hardest part, but once you do, amazing things happen. Namaste, y'all.

    I've been doing this video for over a year; started as a jump-off point in dealing with my depression, and now it starts my productive (or not, lol) day. A trainer used to tell me (in my teens) that I was the least flexible person she knew. After a year, I can finally pedal my feet so EACH HEEL can touch the floor during downward dog! I have never been able to do that before, so THANK YOU! Maybe this feat will give me the confidence to continue and watch/work out to more challenging videos on this channel. THANKS SO MUCH, ADRIENE!

    My depression has kept me in bed a lot, which has caused a lot of pain and tension in my shoulders. I thought this might help me alleviate that, and get my blood flowing to help my brain and body reconnect. This was perfect. The right amount of strengthening burn without pain. I havent done anything active since i was little in gymnastics. I love how the poses quickly felt like falling back into those stretches I did when I was 8. I will definitely be returning to this video as I try to improve my health, and get my brain listening to my body again.

    Thank you so much! I am new to the truck driving world. I cannot explain what my body has gone through driving 18 wheelers in just a month and a 1/2. The vibrations alone in the truck are intense. The position I sit in for hours and hours, and not to mention the food that is available. You helped me make the first step into fighting the evolution of a trucker. I am inspiring to be that yogi trucker. The one who gets out at truck stops and does yoga or performs it in an empty trailer when I have one, instead of sitting longer, watching TV or cramming heart attack burgers down my throat. The career I chose is an easy way to fall away from what I am which is one with earth. I live in chaos and traffic and busy busy hurry hurry. So I am giving you great gratitude for sharing such a warm and loving exercise and way of life, way of connection with the universe. I subscribed and shall continue to view your wonderful work. 💜🙏🏼

Honestly you will notice improvement of your heels in downward facing dog the more you do it.! And other positions too. You're doing great!

    I just did this. I can't even explain...
    I've struggled with my body for years. Abuse on every level. I've PCOS and Adrenal issues that have made weight gain easier and weight loss more difficult. I've read that stress is a nightmare for these things- I stay stressed. Articles and friends have suggested Yoga as an option for relieving stress and a low impact 'exercise' that would go easy on my taxed adrenals.
    I was intimidated. Have looked at local classes but have been ...too insecure.
    It's more than the weight. It's the connecting with my body. In order to survive certain abuses I shut off from my body. Now, what once helped me survive, is literally going to kill me.
    I decided tonight is start. I decided today. I just circles around it until now.
    This little video. This. Little. Video. Your kind voice and the doable poses and the encouragement to connect to a body I've so long neglected and ignored.

    This was my first ever yoga lesson 5 years ago. I practiced this particular flow every morning for weeks and it was the first time I ever felt safe and at home in my body. I have fallen away from yoga the last two years, and today I decided to come back to this video. Returning to this space felt like coming home to myself. It felt so good I cried. Thank you Adriene💗🌸

    I took a yoga class at my gym once and I was absolutely out of my league and a very inflexible beginner. I was turned off by it and how the teacher led the class (too fast, not very encouraging). But this short video gave me the confidence to try again! And so encouraging! I love that you say there's no "perfect" pose, since I am not at my most flexible. Thank you, Adriene! I can't wait to watch all your videos!

      @rophiny 4 года назад +1

      It’s important to remember classes are catered towards specific levels. It would be counter productive for teachers who host intermediate classes to stop the class every pose for extended amounts of time to show basic poses. Try Hatha or yoga, they are great places to start and will teach you the foundations of asana practice.

I've been following several of your yoga videos and would love to request a video that is specific to helping with anxiety.....particularly the kind of anxiety that cause tightness in the body, such as our chest, and anxiety that can lead to shortness of breath or holding the breath all together. Thank you!

    I'm pretty unfit. I find exercising embarrassing, partly because of body insecurity and partly because I'm not strong or flexible. I've always had tight hamstrings, which doesn't help. I've always wanted to try yoga, and I really enjoyed it. My favourite thing is that your voice is reassuring and comforting, rather than pushy or harsh. I didn't feel guilty for not being able to straighten my legs fully or whatever. I felt reassured that it's okay as long as I'm trying. Thanks Adrienne. Gonna try the 30 days of yoga and see how I go. 😊

What is this about?There must be a chemical in the brain and a way of seeing things that produces this resistance. Today though I just said to myself, stop wasting time thinking about it and get on with it and that was easy, so maybe I've got this resistance thing nailed, for today anyway😂🙏Thanks again.

I am coming back from a significant injury and this is just what I wanted and needed to make a serious start in yoga. I looked at several other "beginner" videos before I found this one by Adrienne, and none of the others was even doable. This video is definitely going to improve my overall flexibility, mobility and strength over time. I am looking forward to having done this so many times that I am ready to move up a level, but for now this is perfection and I plan to do it regularly. Highly recommend it.

I was disappointed I gave into breaking the downward dog position, but I at least knew the next time I could hold it. Today, I went through it all without breaking pose. I breathed through the pain. I’m proud I made it through the video twice now in two days. I want to keep this up! :)

    I practiced Yoga with Adriene quite a lot (daily actually) during the lockdowns, but also, like others, fell off the wagon sometime since, and this week felt the need to get back into doing 'some yoga'. Foolishly I thought I'd try something new so downloaded the free trial of the 'downward dog' app thing. I honestly set it to the absolute beginners restorative session, but it exacerbated all the aches and tension I felt in my back, neck and shoulders. Not to mention the stiffness in my knees and hips. It didn't explain anything about how to get into a pose, or what to be thinking about to improve your posture whilst you're in it. I hurt for the next few days, and then returned to this, my old favourite: Yoga for complete beginners (with Adriene). Sometimes it makes sense to go with the best (for me this feels good) and luckily I know where to come to find it. So much gratitude and love x

    First time I've EVER done Yoga, been struggling a lot recently with mental health. Have lost 70lb since April and wanted to expand my range of experiences with my body, so tried this out. Got a lil' emotional at the end when you said the biggest thing is just showing up, and I've been trying to just show up all year ya' know? It's really hard learning to become more comfortable with your body and love yourself better. Definitely hope to grow through this experience.

    I’ve tried other yoga channels, but seriously NOTHING compares to this one. I can go at my own pace to a soothing instructors voice and still feel energized for my day after each session. 🧘🏻‍♀️

    7 years ago? Geez, well thank you for helping me today Adriene ! I tried another yoga video today and it wore me out in the first 2 minutes. Thank you for making it truly for beginners and allowing me a chance to begin this journey. Thank you thank you

    I'm well past the 7 day challenge now. Each day with this routine, plus the hip opener & upper/lower back exercises is amazing. I've transitioned from "couch potato" to "floor flounder". I honestly though I'd me more sore, but the sensation of increased flexibility and better sleep is amazing. I'm excited to decide on my next routine. Thanks again.

    Hello i just wanted to comment and say a few things. Im on day 3 of doing this video and ive noticed such a difference. I wasnt able to sit cross legged before, im very short and also very heavy so to sit cross legged was always such a painful struggle for me. On day 3 im finding it so much easier to get in that position and just stay there without my legs burning. Thank you for that. In downward dog the first time i tried it i stepped out of it and back into it 4 or 5 times because it hurt to bold myself up, with working on my breathing on day 3 i only stepped out of it and in again once! Im going to continue to practice these poses with this video. Its giving me more confidence and awareness of my body and helping me push past my limitations. I feel like i dont have to be intimidated by yoga. Thank you so much for that!
