At the age of 19, I had to have emergency back surgery and had lost the use of my left leg due to nerve damage. Post surgery I could use my leg but it is permanently weak with nerve damage. At 26, I had my second surgery and was told that the next surgery could leave me paralyzed. I knew that I needed a way to strengthen myself but I was always afraid or frustrated at what my body could not do. This has been the first time that I felt the accommodations my body needs are accepted and that I can do this even though it scares me. This has helped my soul (and body) more than I can say and I thank you. You matter and what you do changes people for the better.
I have also had 2 major back surgeries and I appreciate the accommodations so much as well! I also love having the opportunity to chose to do what Adrianne is doing, and feeling accomplished!! I love this so much! I have never committed to doing any type of exercise daily, and this has given me a lot of inner pride. I did want to find out if there is anything you suggest for nerve damage in my arms. I have terrible circulation due to my severe back injuries, so the only thing I am having problems with is when we are doing a new pose for the first time, and it takes a few extra breaths to get the explanation or to watch the demonstration by the time you start the count my arms are completely numb. I hate to give up and stop early, and was wondering if there are any additional accommodations that we can do to help with the numb arms. I love love love this so much and have recommended it to literally anyone who will listen!! Thank you!!!💜
The first time she said "I love you" I was touched. The second time she said it, I spontaneously started to cry. So amazing what we hold in the body. Thank you for this practice, it's the perfect fit for where my life is right now. Even more than I realized, obviously.
It has taken me longer than 13 days to get here, but I've been enjoying every day so far and can't wait to discover the next 17 days. Thanks Adriene! This is as good as any private class, so I've sent you a donation on your site. Happy to help keep these RUclips videos coming. I encourage others to do the same. Even a buck or two each would show Adriene how much we all appreciate her classes and effort to make these videos for us.
Thank you Adrienne and thank you Gary for noticing how interconnected we all are--not just with donations, but in many other ways as well. I also have taken more than 13 days to get here, but I am so pleased to be just where I am.
Adriene, I'm not even halfway through this challenge and I already feel so much more toned and stronger, not only physically, but mentally. I can't thank you enough, I look forward to doing yoga with you every single and and I've even been doing more than one video a day because I can't get enough, which I didn't expect. Thank you so much for this!
Day 1: Oh my god over half an hour of yoga?!!!! Day 13: Oh are 25 mins done already? I'm genuinely loving this, I'm a bit sore, my flexibility and balance aren't 100% but I am loving loving LOVING the burn and I'm remembering why I loved yoga so much.
Writing from five years in the future from when this was made- Thanks for helping me get through quarantine, Adrienne. It's so nice to go back in time to a simpler world and do daily yoga like its 2015.
For the briefest of moments, my heels hit the the ground during downward facing dog and I started to laugh. They came right back up, but it's a sign that I can and will do it again. Hopefully next time I can keep enough composure to stay there!
Been practicing Yoga with Adrienes videos since 2015 and today was the first day I had the courage to "hop" to the top of the mat and I'm so proud of myself for overcoming my fear of this little step❤😊 thank you Adriene
+shovel268 yoga is cool that way, if u dig that place where u don't want money, u don't want sex ( or at least not much..), u don't want fame or other bullcrap, u jus want to get better an help others do the same...
+shovel268 yeah haven't really watched Adrienne very long but its curious, some guys must be fairly"there" in a yoga sense, without being overly, like, "feminine", but u dont see 2many, an I can do without Richard Simmons type dudes, so I guess there's no hope lately...not that I find Adrienne un -watchable, she's very watchable, but just wondering...
EASE - Oct 2023. I was frustrated with my body for the first half of this practice. My intention was "presence", but I was having a hard time sticking with it. Balancing poses are an amazing reset for me - just a little fall, a little laughter, and a little acceptance. Good stuff. (Day 4 of my yoga journey. Worried my resolve will waver with the weekend. But MAN this is feeling good.)
My dad passed away recently and it’s been tough. I started this challenge at a low point and it’s made a *huge* impact on my mental health and given me a much needed routine to look forward to. Thank you, Adriene, you’re lovely (and hilarious) ❤
Adrienne, you often ask this question” what brought you to the mat today” and I always thought I had to have an amazing answer -I’ve come up with many good answers! But today I realize I’m here because it always and consistently makes me feel better physically and mentally to do yoga with you. The difference in my body and energy and thoughts running through my mind is so noticeable. This is incredibly grounding and centring. Thank you!
One of my favorite practices so far. I love the integrity and balance videos. Because I always want to rush into the next position. And my balance is wobbly at times but today I stuck with it and felt so positive and proud. Thank you!!
I know that the little "bad jokes" that you make during your practice make you unfocused, but I appreciate those times when your focus shifts for a moment because it is a tangible lesson for me on how to regain focus and integrity when mine, like yours, shifts for a moment. I so appreciate the generous gift of your time through these videos. LOVING every moment! Thanks Adriene.
My family is shocked how much skinnier and healthier I look after only 13 days of yoga. Little do they know nothing has changed other than my posture and my attitude. :) Yoga makes me feel so amazing
I genuinely think these videos are saving my life. I can't remember the last time I've gone two solid weeks feeling this calm in myself. Thank you so much Adriene, you're a wonderful teacher! X
I hadn't done yoga for 4 or 5 days and I was definitely feeling the ill effects.....super stiff. I did this today and I feel sooooo much better. What a great way to start the day.
This is exactly what I needed to read to get me motivated to do it tonight. I have been dragging. It's been 4 days for me. I will do it! Thanks for posting. :)
I tried to make it through shavasana but being outside hearing the neighbors techno music eve through active noise cancelling headphones and with 2 flies that wouldn't stop landing on my skin every 2 seconds and the incense I lit against mosquitoes starting to irritate my asthma, I decided I will try again tomorrow. I did the whole practice until shavasana so I'm happy with that. Sometimes you just gotta accept and try again the next day. Namaste ❤
My knee actually touched my elbow today!! YAY! Practicing every morning is really helping my mood and my confidence in my practice and throughout the day. Thanks for all you do! Happy Wednesday! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Words cannot express how grateful I am for you and for sharing this practice with the world. I just happened upon the 30 day yoga challenge, well I guess 13 days ago, and it's been great, but today was exactly what I needed. I've been going through a really hard time and the last few days I've wondered how I'm going to make it through the next few days, let alone weeks and months. This practice was the first time I actually realized I was present in my body and when thoughts about everything happening in my life came in, it wasn't with a sense of overwhelming hopelessness, it was with a sense of "I'll get through it" and then they floated away, leaving me to focus on what I was doing in the moment. Your daily reminders of the intention of our practice is perfect: My intention for the whole 30 days is intentional self-care and when I find myself getting frustrated about not doing something "right" or body image or anything else, I just say that mantra over and over and over again. I'm rambling, but I needed you to know how much I appreciate you.
Yoga works! I'm completing the #30daysofyoga challenge for the 7th time this year and this practice was always more of a fight than bliss for me, as eagle pose and humble warrior are two poses that i truly struggle with. But this time around i found the ease! Even managed to wrap my foot around my leg in eagle. Truly Adriene, this beautiful program is one of the best things that has happened to me all year! I love you so much for making all of our lives better by just being your awesome self! Namaste :)
2022 - after months off, due to a hip replacement, this yoga starved 71 yo is back in gratitude to your guidance… yep the softly spoken, I love You let the flood gates, of Thank You Adrienne, flow! 🙏🏼Namaste🙏🏼
I started doing yoga in 2021. Boy was I stiff! I would've never imagined holding a balancing pose for as long as I did today with such ease and control over the burn. You're a gift from the universe, Adriene. Loving this month of daily October practices!
Hi Adriene! I've signed up on RUclips solely for the purpose of letting you know how much I love your Yoga videos and how unexpectedly you managed to improve my inner and outer existence! I've first started with some little random videos of yours, then got hooked on Yoga Camp and now going through the 30 Days of Yoga challenge. I've been through some extremely difficult years emotionally speaking and there were times when I considered not being part of this world anymore. I somehow pulled through this very deep depression but struggled to find joy in life. Your videos help me so much on this journey of re-discovering myself and the world, I'm taking baby steps to re-learn hope and shed crusty thick layer of cynicism. I recently began doing yoga also in the morning, along with pranayama and meditation. I am excited to see where this journey leads. I think you are an absolute gift to this world and the internetz!
Can't believe I've been doing yoga for 13 days! Haven't felt so refreshed and energized for so long! Thank you Adriene for re-introducing my body to myself again!
Yes it feels good when Adrian says I love you. It makes me feel like I have a friend. All the silly things she says and the yoga makes me want to come back every morning 🥰
I can’t thank you enough for keeping me positive in times of uncertainty. The practices help with the long days of lockdown. Could you do a yoga practice especially for lockdown to help the world as we all try to mend. Xxxx
Oct 15, 2023....first time doing this great yoga practice....it was so nice after 35 mins elliptical and Vshred Day 43 - Lower Body and Abs. Las Vegas in 2 days!!!
As a guy that never even thought about doing yoga, I found this on RUclips and decided to try it... Don't tell my friends or co-workers :) well, I ended up liking it and now I completed my 13 day of yoga and I actually feel more flexible already. Thanks Adriene for the videos and your once in a while jokes.
So I’ve read comments from other users who say they cry during practice. Well, today I had my cry. It’s been a rough time for awhile for me and a few months ago I decided I needed new habits to replace my bad habits. I’ve never been one to exercise or even really care about my body/health, apparently losing 3 special people, who were too young to die makes you reconsider your life choices. I’m still partaking in my bad habits and I hope thru my yoga practice I can feel better about myself so I don’t need those crutches. Thank you so much Adriene, your soothing voice reminds me that I’m on the right track and if I keep challenging myself to get on my mat everyday I will begin to see improvements with my practice, posture and poses as well feeling good about myself. Thank you. ❤️
The loss of my sister in a road accident brought me to adriene last year. Just one session did so much for my head it was pretty amazing. I'm still struggling with life and decided to find adriene again. I'm trying to find me, the real me. This 30 challenge is giving me something to focus on. I'm not the most enthusiastic person atm but thinking this is something I can throw myself into, use it to work magic in my head and hopefully I'll be bending in half and wrapping me legs round me neck when I'm 90! No one's perfect, no one's life is perfect, but we do deserve to find balance and happiness. The light in me sees the light in u darling, namaste x
This is the second time I have teared up towards the end of one of these videos. Adriene says quick little harmless phrases every now and then that sneaks into my subconscious and cuts me to the quick. I'm learning a lot both physically and emotionally. Thanks Adriene!
Thank you Adriene, you are a perfect teacher. Always giving the right clues and encouragements at the right time to someone who dreaded sports his entire life. This is my first time in over 28 years that i've worked-out 14 consecutive days. My heels are not even close to touching the ground in downward-facing dog (being 1.96m/6'5'' tall, sitting on chairs most of my life) but stretching out like this every day feels amazing.
+Yoga With Adriene. Adriene you are an inspiration. Thanks for keeping it light and making me laugh during each session. 2 days ago I cried, and I don't know why - some sort of cathartic release that happened at the end of the session - I think you said something about doing this for yourself because you deserve it. I felt grateful and happy in that moment. My sister recommend this series to me as I was having trouble finding time for myself and getting back into fitness after 3 kids (6 and under). Life is busy but I have now thanks to you, found motivation to give this short time to myself before the household wakes up and life demands my attention in other ways. Thank-you for making the difference in my life.
+Stephanie Kinney that is really cool...maybe I needed to read this at this particular point, thank U from someone about something that , well...just thanx...
You are the embodiment of what yoga is about. Thank you for bringing me back to the mat and making me feel just like I’m where I ought to be! You are truly wonderful.
I can't thank you enough for these 30 days videos, Adrienne. You are such a gift to the world. I love your sense of humour too! Makes me laugh when I'm feeling down. I look forward to my morning yoga practice and it has helped me out of depression. I feel more empowered and more in control, positive and confident. It's hard to explain but i think this practice helps a person get back their physical, mental and spiritual health. Like you said, finding ones self again...finding ones integrity and inner child. You really helped me Adrienne. We love you so much!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ may you be blessed
Had a crummy day today. So glad I decided to step on the mat. Your sweet words at the end helped me more than you can know Adriene. Adored this practice. My balancing postures are improving and Im so grateful for that. You are such a great friend. Namaste! See you tomorrow for day 14! Xo
Good morning from Brighton, UK, city of seagulls... I was woken at 4.45am today by these feathered residents, squawking and shrieking all over the rooftops (was going to ask for Yoga for Insomnia, but is there a Yoga for Seagulls?) Gave up trying to get back to sleep... came to my mat. Child's pose first. Aaah... accept. Accept I'm awake. Accept the damn crazy birds. Tuned into my 13th day of this awesome 30 days. Endurance was exactly what I needed. Gonna rename "eagle pose" as "seagull pose". Now bright-eyed, feathered-tailed and flying with the rest of them. Thank you, Adriene! :-D
Like many of the other commenters, I would like to say thank you for these videos. I'm almost half way through your 30 Days of Yoga and loving every day of it. I look forward to doing many other of your videos in the future. Thanks again.
Adriene, You have changed my life! I'm a beginner but have already learned so much from you. I'm going through a difficult time in my personal life and your daily lessons have helped relieve so much of my stress. Thank you so very much for sharing your time, knowledge and love! Much love, Suzette
I have been trying to get "hooked" on yoga for years, often giving up and not sticking with it. All of that has changed with your channel. I get excited everyday when I carve out this yoga time just for me. I feel incredible and my anxiety and back pain have virtually disappeared. And thanks for the humour, it just makes my day! :)
This is my second time through this 30 day challenge, and I for got about the “I love you”. I was genuinely touched when she said it. I felt like the Grinch when his shriveled heart grew three sizes. Dang. I don’t hear that phrase enough in my life.
I can definitely feel myself getting stronger, more flexible and connected with my breath! This stuff does work. :) Thank you, Adriene, for making yoga accesible to everyone.
You are such an engaged teacher, I love your videos more than group classes. This is the most consistent I've ever been with yoga, so thank you for the 30-day challenge videos to help keep us all going. You are a stellar yoga instructor!
As a former kickboxer and cyclist i never expected Yoga would be this empowering and give meaning to connect to myself both emotional, and physical. And this all the way at the other side of your llivingroom, in The Netherlands. Your kindness en freshness comes right in , me and my partner stay connected. Thank you for giving, learing and sharing.
EASE 🍁 | October 12, 2023 | I come to this practice late in the day and a bit tired after a full day of sightseeing, and an emotional goodbye of family 💔 🙏
Thank you so, so much for sharing these practices with us! I feel much more awake and energetic now that I have been following your tutorials for 13 days. It is truly amazing how fast I can feel the progress in my body and my mind too, I feel so calm and somewhat content with myself and am more at peace with the world and the chaos it is currently in. Thanks again, you are great!
Day 226 (part 1) of the current run. The eagle-warrior 3 combo thing is a big wake up to the whole body. You definitely tell if you're off balance today.
Thank you so much for this practice. I'm on day 13 and I can already feel the differences yoga is making in my life. I have been under so much stress these past few months and yoga has been a wonderful way to work through that tension. I find myself smiling and relaxed at the start of each video and see each one as a new, exciting challenge. Looking forward to the next 17 days!
I started the challenge thinking that I would probably not see it through, but you have this great attitude and explain everything so well that I decided to stick with it... I love your videos and I already feel so much more in sync with my body and soul! Thank you!
I love you too Adriene! Thank you! I skipped yesterday (holiday too busy) and normally that would automatically break any personal habit i form out of shame. But Adriene is so calming and relaxing and unassuming, I didn’t get any perceived shame or guilt or anxiety to keep me away. She really is the best ❤
Today I really noticed the difference. I felt amazing during and after and even during downward dog!! Also I could do the 3 legged dog to knee moves which I couldn't do a few days ago. Excited to see what the full 30 days brings
omg the 3 legged dog to knee pose killed me the first time and i was sweating soo bad but this time it was half of that struggle! Getting easier, stiiill a challenge tho haha
Each day I spend with you, Adriene, is easier and more calming than the day before. I am a beginner for yoga, and you have helped me through every step of the way, even if it's virtually. I have tried so many yoga teachers on RUclips and none of them have known how to make variations for everyone. Even 13 days in, I have noticed I am stronger and a lot more flexible. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me. Namaste
I haven't come to the mat to practice with you in a while and im so glad I did today! feeling so sore and I love how calming you are and how relaxing the routines are. and most of all I love how you encourage everyone to go at their own pace and do what feels good! by far my favorite yoga guru. thanks adriene for all that you do !
Hello Adriene! Today my friend joined me on the mat and he thoroughly enjoyed it, and 'found new peace' as he put it. I think I have you a new yoga convert-ee! Thank you for inspiring all the people you do every day.
Day 13 done! Why did I feel emotional when she said I love you at the end lol. I love you back Adriene thank you for teaching me how to be gentler with myself through this.
ahhh almost to day 15! half way through! It makes me kind of sad but i love that i've stuck to it for so long, I usually get bored so easily, but i like that it's fun to do and you build your balance, strength, and flexibility throughout it all, Off to reward myself it Parks and Rec on netflix!
having already done 30 days of yoga its always nice to revisit. i spun the bottle and got this today, just what i needed, for this moment. perfect ending to a rather busy day.
day 13. Today I don't know why but just felt very insecure, stressed. Probably because of the uncertainty about my future academic life? (I'm in high school now) I was just so worried and I had a panic attack. After my mom comforting me and took some rest, I did my day 13 of yoga and I start to feel better now. I always feel calmer and relaxed after doing yoga. Thank you so much, Adriene.
When thinking of my intention for doing yoga today, the first thing that came to mind is "Because I'm worth it." It was a pleasant surprise to hear you use this phrase later in the video. A feeling of self-worth is so crucial to health. I'm glad I'm finally at a place where it makes profound sense to me to spend time doing good for myself. Thanks!
Fantastic practice! My Yoga With Adriene-sessions have become sacred to me, as they are often the highlight of my day, during a bit of a rough patch in life, and I am ever so thankful for all the strength and peace of mind they lead me to. Namaste!
I love you, too, Adriene! I feel like after 13 (well, 13+ cause I've tried this one before, plus I've done lots of your other videos) days together, we know each other pretty well. Your videos and your bright spirit have become a regular part of my day, and I'm super grateful for it. Thanks for everything you do!!!
OH, Adrienne, we love you, too! A perfect morning practice, all the elements of yoga, the right amount of heat, stretch, balance. I'm not perfect at any of this but it is so encouraging to try. Thank you.
Who else is doing this in quarantine?? Thank you for this, Adrienne!
That is waiting for me on Easter. I can't wait . 🙏
I am! Planning to do this one for April and the other 30 day sequences in the coming months!
ryderseven Meeee
Finished Home and now doing this series for April. Thank you, Adriene - A bright light in these dark days! Take good care everyone!
I am... this is kind of my introduction to yoga.

Sending you a big hug! Congrats on doing yoga and hope you and your back are on a healing journey!
I have also had 2 major back surgeries and I appreciate the accommodations so much as well! I also love having the opportunity to chose to do what Adrianne is doing, and feeling accomplished!!

i totally agree with you thank you Adriene!!
Day 1: Oh my god over half an hour of yoga?!!!!

I'm sorry for your loss ♡
Day 13- done. Today, I wasn't feeling very energetic but still made it! Proud of myself and everyone who made it here :)

Writing 8+ years into the future. I laughed out loud when you told the egg yolk joke! Thanks Adriene for always making my day!
One of my favorite practices so far. I love the integrity and balance videos. Because I always want to rush into the next position. And my balance is wobbly at times but today I stuck with it and felt so positive and proud. Thank you!!
Yesssss. Wonderful Carly.
I felt the same, Carly. It felt so good, like the practice had a lot of integrity.
I also felt the same : ) Absolutely loved this session
omg i did it! my heel touched the ground while doing downward dog omg omg! And i loved the humble warrior pose.
DUDE NICEEEEEE mine still doesn't but...one day
Me too lol but i almost cried of pain😂
Me too! And in just under two weeks?! And I haven't been bendy in 25 years.
ahhh im so closeeeee
What is this thing you speak of.... "Balance"?
hahahahhaha
If I were a crow or eagle, I'd fall of trees all day every day...
So true
I know that the little "bad jokes" that you make during your practice make you unfocused, but I appreciate those times when your focus shifts for a moment because it is a tangible lesson for me on how to regain focus and integrity when mine, like yours, shifts for a moment. I so appreciate the generous gift of your time through these videos. LOVING every moment! Thanks Adriene.

Always, always returning to the first 30 days - this can get me back to moving with my body more reliably than anything else! Continued thanks :)
I tried to make it through shavasana but being outside hearing the neighbors techno music eve through active noise cancelling headphones and with 2 flies that wouldn't stop landing on my skin every 2 seconds and the incense I lit against mosquitoes starting to irritate my asthma, I decided I will try again tomorrow. I did the whole practice until shavasana so I'm happy with that. Sometimes you just gotta accept and try again the next day. Namaste ❤
My knee actually touched my elbow today!! YAY! Practicing every morning is really helping my mood and my confidence in my practice and throughout the day. Thanks for all you do! Happy Wednesday! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Words cannot express how grateful I am for you and for sharing this practice with the world. I just happened upon the 30 day yoga challenge, well I guess 13 days ago, and it's been great, but today was exactly what I needed. I've been going through a really hard time and the last few days I've wondered how I'm going to make it through the next few days, let alone weeks and months. This practice was the first time I actually realized I was present in my body and when thoughts about everything happening in my life came in, it wasn't with a sense of overwhelming hopelessness, it was with a sense of "I'll get through it" and then they floated away, leaving me to focus on what I was doing in the moment. Your daily reminders of the intention of our practice is perfect: My intention for the whole 30 days is intentional self-care and when I find myself getting frustrated about not doing something "right" or body image or anything else, I just say that mantra over and over and over again. I'm rambling, but I needed you to know how much I appreciate you.
checkeredress Right on, let be 'right' go. Yoga is play-time...
I missed you and forgot just how much you can speak to my heart! It has been awhile since I could wake up early, glad I showed up today!
Loved this (I feel like I say that on every video!)... Hadn't done this particular practice yet and really enjoyed it. Thankyou, Adriene xxx
Day 12 complete this one was nice to do today. 10/12/2023
Now I actually want to wake up early to do yoga and then start my day feeling fine and refreshed :D
I am a 42 year old mom of two. I discovered 30 days of yoga and I am loving it 😃
It's a rainy day here, perfect time for a yoga practice! Ease Day 12, October 2023 🌧
Thank you so much, Adriene. Love from Prague, Czech republic. You are so present and in touch and so sweetly yourself. Thank you.
Yoga works! I'm completing the #30daysofyoga challenge for the 7th time this year and this practice was always more of a fight than bliss for me, as eagle pose and humble warrior are two poses that i truly struggle with. But this time around i found the ease! Even managed to wrap my foot around my leg in eagle. Truly Adriene, this beautiful program is one of the best things that has happened to me all year! I love you so much for making all of our lives better by just being your awesome self! Namaste :)
+Leona Bandager I agree. I feel better after my practise with Adrienne. I'll do this again and again.
Leona Vandiger wow 7th time! Well done! I hope I can do the same. It's awesome !
2022 - after months off, due to a hip replacement, this yoga starved 71 yo is back in gratitude to your guidance… yep the softly spoken, I love You let the flood gates, of Thank You Adrienne, flow! 🙏🏼Namaste🙏🏼
I started doing yoga in 2021. Boy was I stiff! I would've never imagined holding a balancing pose for as long as I did today with such ease and control over the burn. You're a gift from the universe, Adriene. Loving this month of daily October practices!
Hi Adriene! I've signed up on RUclips solely for the purpose of letting you know how much I love your Yoga videos and how unexpectedly you managed to improve my inner and outer existence! I've first started with some little random videos of yours, then got hooked on Yoga Camp and now going through the 30 Days of Yoga challenge. I've been through some extremely difficult years emotionally speaking and there were times when I considered not being part of this world anymore. I somehow pulled through this very deep depression but struggled to find joy in life. Your videos help me so much on this journey of re-discovering myself and the world, I'm taking baby steps to re-learn hope and shed crusty thick layer of cynicism. I recently began doing yoga also in the morning, along with pranayama and meditation. I am excited to see where this journey leads. I think you are an absolute gift to this world and the internetz!
Loved the pose of wrapping the toes around... Managed to do it as it was an Awesome session! God bless you dear Adrienne ❤🙏.
I love you with all my heart my girl and my dog Benji my buddy your father God protect us and all the people that do yoga with adriene amen
Can't believe I've been doing yoga for 13 days! Haven't felt so refreshed and energized for so long! Thank you Adriene
for re-introducing my body to myself again!
Yes it feels good when Adrian says I love you. It makes me feel like I have a friend. All the silly things she says and the yoga makes me want to come back every morning 🥰
I can’t thank you enough for keeping me positive in times of uncertainty. The practices help with the long days of lockdown. Could you do a yoga practice especially for lockdown to help the world as we all try to mend. Xxxx
Oct 15, 2023....first time doing this great yoga practice....it was so nice after 35 mins elliptical and Vshred Day 43 - Lower Body and Abs. Las Vegas in 2 days!!!
As a guy that never even thought about doing yoga, I found this on RUclips and decided to try it... Don't tell my friends or co-workers :) well, I ended up liking it and now I completed my 13 day of yoga and I actually feel more flexible already. Thanks Adriene for the videos and your once in a while jokes.
+Pacheco
same for me :P
So I’ve read comments from other users who say they cry during practice. Well, today I had my cry. It’s been a rough time for awhile for me and a few months ago I decided I needed new habits to replace my bad habits. I’ve never been one to exercise or even really care about my body/health, apparently losing 3 special people, who were too young to die makes you reconsider your life choices. I’m still partaking in my bad habits and I hope thru my yoga practice I can feel better about myself so I don’t need those crutches. Thank you so much Adriene, your soothing voice reminds me that I’m on the right track and if I keep challenging myself to get on my mat everyday I will begin to see improvements with my practice, posture and poses as well feeling good about myself. Thank you. ❤️
The loss of my sister in a road accident brought me to adriene last year. Just one session did so much for my head it was pretty amazing. I'm still struggling with life and decided to find adriene again. I'm trying to find me, the real me. This 30 challenge is giving me something to focus on. I'm not the most enthusiastic person atm but thinking this is something I can throw myself into, use it to work magic in my head and hopefully I'll be bending in half and wrapping me legs round me neck when I'm 90! No one's perfect, no one's life is perfect, but we do deserve to find balance and happiness. The light in me sees the light in u darling, namaste x
This is the second time I have teared up towards the end of one of these videos.
Adriene says quick little harmless phrases every now and then that sneaks into my subconscious and cuts me to the quick.
I'm learning a lot both physically and emotionally. Thanks Adriene!
Thank you Adriene, you are a perfect teacher. Always giving the right clues and encouragements at the right time to someone who dreaded sports his entire life. This is my first time in over 28 years that i've worked-out 14 consecutive days. My heels are not even close to touching the ground in downward-facing dog (being 1.96m/6'5'' tall, sitting on chairs most of my life) but stretching out like this every day feels amazing.
Thank you for these 30 days Adriene ;-) Namaste
With pleasure, it is a blast for to me to share and get inspired in return! What a joy!
+Yoga With Adriene. Adriene you are an inspiration. Thanks for keeping it light and making me laugh during each session. 2 days ago I cried, and I don't know why - some sort of cathartic release that happened at the end of the session - I think you said something about doing this for yourself because you deserve it. I felt grateful and happy in that moment. My sister recommend this series to me as I was having trouble finding time for myself and getting back into fitness after 3 kids (6 and under). Life is busy but I have now thanks to you, found motivation to give this short time to myself before the household wakes up and life demands my attention in other ways. Thank-you for making the difference in my life.
+Stephanie Kinney that is really cool...maybe I needed to read this at this particular point, thank U from someone about something that , well...just thanx...
You are the embodiment of what yoga is about. Thank you for bringing me back to the mat and making me feel just like I’m where I ought to be! You are truly wonderful.
Seriously, these videos have changed my world. Mornings have never been so good.
I can't thank you enough for these 30 days videos, Adrienne. You are such a gift to the world. I love your sense of humour too! Makes me laugh when I'm feeling down. I look forward to my morning yoga practice and it has helped me out of depression. I feel more empowered and more in control, positive and confident. It's hard to explain but i think this practice helps a person get back their physical, mental and spiritual health. Like you said, finding ones self again...finding ones integrity and inner child. You really helped me Adrienne. We love you so much!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ may you be blessed
Had a crummy day today. So glad I decided to step on the mat. Your sweet words at the end helped me more than you can know Adriene. Adored this practice. My balancing postures are improving and Im so grateful for that. You are such a great friend. Namaste! See you tomorrow for day 14! Xo
It is an honor and a pleasure A! Truly! See you tomorrow! xoxoo
Good morning from Brighton, UK, city of seagulls... I was woken at 4.45am today by these feathered residents, squawking and shrieking all over the rooftops (was going to ask for Yoga for Insomnia, but is there a Yoga for Seagulls?) Gave up trying to get back to sleep... came to my mat. Child's pose first. Aaah... accept. Accept I'm awake. Accept the damn crazy birds. Tuned into my 13th day of this awesome 30 days. Endurance was exactly what I needed. Gonna rename "eagle pose" as "seagull pose". Now bright-eyed, feathered-tailed and flying with the rest of them. Thank you, Adriene! :-D
Today was the first day I was able to step into a lunge without dragging my foot underneath me. Yay for progress!
Like many of the other commenters, I would like to say thank you for these videos. I'm almost half way through your 30 Days of Yoga and loving every day of it. I look forward to doing many other of your videos in the future. Thanks again.
Adriene, You have changed my life! I'm a beginner but have already learned so much from you. I'm going through a difficult time in my personal life and your daily lessons have helped relieve so much of my stress. Thank you so very much for sharing your time, knowledge and love! Much love, Suzette
I have been trying to get "hooked" on yoga for years, often giving up and not sticking with it. All of that has changed with your channel. I get excited everyday when I carve out this yoga time just for me. I feel incredible and my anxiety and back pain have virtually disappeared. And thanks for the humour, it just makes my day! :)
This is my second time through this 30 day challenge, and I for got about the “I love you”. I was genuinely touched when she said it. I felt like the Grinch when his shriveled heart grew three sizes. Dang. I don’t hear that phrase enough in my life.
And we love you too, Adrienne
I can definitely feel myself getting stronger, more flexible and connected with my breath! This stuff does work. :) Thank you, Adriene, for making yoga accesible to everyone.
You are such an engaged teacher, I love your videos more than group classes. This is the most consistent I've ever been with yoga, so thank you for the 30-day challenge videos to help keep us all going. You are a stellar yoga instructor!
Normally yoga is my favorite part of my day but this routine had me FRUSTRATED. Those balance poses were kicking my butt. Practice practice practice
As a former kickboxer and cyclist i never expected Yoga would be this empowering and give meaning to connect to myself both emotional, and physical. And this all the way at the other side of your llivingroom, in The Netherlands. Your kindness en freshness comes right in , me and my partner stay connected. Thank you for giving, learing and sharing.
EASE 🍁 | October 12, 2023 | I come to this practice late in the day and a bit tired after a full day of sightseeing, and an emotional goodbye of family 💔 🙏
Thank you so, so much for sharing these practices with us! I feel much more awake and energetic now that I have been following your tutorials for 13 days. It is truly amazing how fast I can feel the progress in my body and my mind too, I feel so calm and somewhat content with myself and am more at peace with the world and the chaos it is currently in. Thanks again, you are great!
Day 197 (part 1) of the current run. Fantastic feeling today.
Day 226 (part 1) of the current run. The eagle-warrior 3 combo thing is a big wake up to the whole body. You definitely tell if you're off balance today.
Thank you so much for this practice. I'm on day 13 and I can already feel the differences yoga is making in my life. I have been under so much stress these past few months and yoga has been a wonderful way to work through that tension. I find myself smiling and relaxed at the start of each video and see each one as a new, exciting challenge. Looking forward to the next 17 days!
I started the challenge thinking that I would probably not see it through, but you have this great attitude and explain everything so well that I decided to stick with it... I love your videos and I already feel so much more in sync with my body and soul! Thank you!
I love you too Adriene! Thank you! I skipped yesterday (holiday too busy) and normally that would automatically break any personal habit i form out of shame. But Adriene is so calming and relaxing and unassuming, I didn’t get any perceived shame or guilt or anxiety to keep me away. She really is the best ❤
Today I really noticed the difference. I felt amazing during and after and even during downward dog!! Also I could do the 3 legged dog to knee moves which I couldn't do a few days ago. Excited to see what the full 30 days brings
omg the 3 legged dog to knee pose killed me the first time and i was sweating soo bad but this time it was half of that struggle! Getting easier, stiiill a challenge tho haha
We love you too!! The way you teach yoga is very mesmerizing & relaxing. I appreciate the sound of your voice. Thank you for being you!
Each day I spend with you, Adriene, is easier and more calming than the day before. I am a beginner for yoga, and you have helped me through every step of the way, even if it's virtually. I have tried so many yoga teachers on RUclips and none of them have known how to make variations for everyone. Even 13 days in, I have noticed I am stronger and a lot more flexible. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me.
Namaste
I haven't come to the mat to practice with you in a while and im so glad I did today! feeling so sore and I love how calming you are and how relaxing the routines are. and most of all I love how you encourage everyone to go at their own pace and do what feels good! by far my favorite yoga guru. thanks adriene for all that you do !
Wow! I did my first wheel bridge pose and I've been trying for over a year now! I'm so happy! Thank you, Adrienne! !!
She's just sending yoga love around the world. We need more of this.
Ease Day 12 🙏
October 12th, 2023
Hello Adriene! Today my friend joined me on the mat and he thoroughly enjoyed it, and 'found new peace' as he put it. I think I have you a new yoga convert-ee! Thank you for inspiring all the people you do every day.
"crack an egg on your leg, let the yolk run down.." 😂😂😂
Day 13 done! Why did I feel emotional when she said I love you at the end lol. I love you back Adriene thank you for teaching me how to be gentler with myself through this.
ahhh almost to day 15! half way through! It makes me kind of sad but i love that i've stuck to it for so long, I usually get bored so easily, but i like that it's fun to do and you build your balance, strength, and flexibility throughout it all, Off to reward myself it Parks and Rec on netflix!
Thank you for the gift of sharing a yoga class with you Adriene. My body shouts out loud: Give me yoga! #gratitude
Today was the first time I have ever been able to flow steadily from three legged dog, into the lunge position. progress woo 🥳
On a path to being good to myself so I can be good to others- thank you
Love u too yogi adriene.
having already done 30 days of yoga its always nice to revisit. i spun the bottle and got this today, just what i needed, for this moment. perfect ending to a rather busy day.
day 13. Today I don't know why but just felt very insecure, stressed. Probably because of the uncertainty about my future academic life? (I'm in high school now) I was just so worried and I had a panic attack. After my mom comforting me and took some rest, I did my day 13 of yoga and I start to feel better now. I always feel calmer and relaxed after doing yoga. Thank you so much, Adriene.
When thinking of my intention for doing yoga today, the first thing that came to mind is "Because I'm worth it." It was a pleasant surprise to hear you use this phrase later in the video. A feeling of self-worth is so crucial to health. I'm glad I'm finally at a place where it makes profound sense to me to spend time doing good for myself. Thanks!
The 13 days have not been consecutive, but ahhh I feel amazing! Thanx so much for a gentle approach to yoga! You rock!
Fantastic practice! My Yoga With Adriene-sessions have become sacred to me, as they are often the highlight of my day, during a bit of a rough patch in life, and I am ever so thankful for all the strength and peace of mind they lead me to. Namaste!
Almost halfway there! Thanks for taking us on this journey to wholeness.
I love you, too, Adriene! I feel like after 13 (well, 13+ cause I've tried this one before, plus I've done lots of your other videos) days together, we know each other pretty well. Your videos and your bright spirit have become a regular part of my day, and I'm super grateful for it. Thanks for everything you do!!!
Done! I don't think I did too well on this one but its ok I tried! Thank you Adriene!
OH, Adrienne, we love you, too! A perfect morning practice, all the elements of yoga, the right amount of heat, stretch, balance. I'm not perfect at any of this but it is so encouraging to try. Thank you.
