    Allow, release and let go for optimal flow.
    Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.

      Such an insightful and profound quote about making friends with reality! It reminds me of this, also by Lao Tzu: "The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail." Thank you for another year of a beautiful journey, Adriene! Much love to everyone practicing, apart but together in community 💖

      Made it to Day 9!! I still feel ridiculously "clunky" (nothing "flows"), but I found out I still have decent balance so "woohoo" to that.
      Not as sore, except for when we squat at the end of the mat before standing. Left leg just burns - any suggestions to accommodate this so it is not so painful or is it just a strengthening thing that needs time.

    As we prepare for our daughter's brain surgery on Friday (first time typing that - ouch!), I am going to release the worry about it, as it will not serve us. I am saving this practice, so I can do this over and over again - totally felt the energy shift from beginning to end. Hope everyone got their Zoolander on today and knocked loud on heaven's door! Thankful for you all!

I sobbed my heart out while doing it and felt so grateful that Day 8 was named Relax and allowed myself to surrender to it. After another day of grieving but with more smiles and laughter today I feel such strength and peace from today's Release. Much Love to all on this journey whatever we are going through xx Thank you Adriene. xx

    If you get to my comment, then let it be a reminder to always work at your own pace. Last year was my first 30 day challenge which I planned to complete in 30 days but life got in the way and I did it in about 80 days. But I DID finish and that’s a lot more yoga than I did all of the rest of the year. This year, knowing myself, I challenged myself to do this in 60 days: one session every other day. I started a little late but I’ve kept up with my commitment even though I’m pregnant and doing this with modifications. Set realistic goals for yourself and see yourself succeed! 🚀

      Thanks for sharing I have been really frustrated and insecure about myself double doubting if I should give up and if I'm doing it wrong because I'm doing at most 3 days every week but I promise myself that I would complete these 30 days. It feels good to know that we are not alone, and gives me confidence knowing that trying is enough even if it's not perfect. I wish you all the success in your path and I'm greatfull for your indiscriminate words of support.

    I unfortunately got Covid on 2 January - my fourth infection. I've still been tuning in every day, even though all I do is breathing exercises and some floor work (cat-cows feel so nice on my back after being in bed all day). Then I just watch Adriene and Benji and read all the lovely comments. I join in when we say 'I feel strong' to send my struggling body some positive healing vibes. It's not what I imagined for this month, but I really appreciate having something to look forward to every night and staying in touch with people around the world when I'm isolated at home. Thank you Adriene, and everyone in this community 😊💛

    i did that with 6259 people this morning! i haven't gotten up this early in a long time (6am) and the reason for that is i have a diploma exam in a few hours. my body was nervous before this, due to nightmares about the exam, and i noticed that. there's a tiny bit of nerves left but i feel centred. before and during my yoga i found happiness in the small moments, and those are the moments that truly matter to me. i looked outside at the darkness and realized "huh, i think i like being up this early" i saw the snow hugging the trees and land outside and i felt a childlike joy. during my downward dog i suddenly felt this joy toward a lamp in the corner of the room. it may sound silly to some but seeing that warm light made me feel cozy inside and i felt so happy to have that. i chose to release control, and expectations of how well i will 'perform' on my exam. any result is okay, all that matters is that i showed up to that exam and tried my very best. i can be a perfectionist, and so usually during exams i would push myself too hard to perfect everything, and i'm going to notice that today and try to keep my time as mindful as possible there. i know i will be okay, like always, despite some discomfort, and i'm looking forward to going for a walk afterwards in the trails in the forest with my mom. good luck future me! and thank you so much for this practice, and if you've read this far thank you for doing this for yourself

    20 min are really just the perfect duration for such a challenge. It is neither too short like 10 min, where you have to stop when you warmed-up, nor is it too long for procrastination to kick in.
    As I am currently doing the challenge on top of my regular workout schedule (all group fitness courses), I was really glad about the relaxed session yesterday. Tuesday is one of my harder days and as I feel like I had a breakthrough with my body awareness last year, I moved with a lot of intention through yesterdays flexibar and deepWork workouts. My muscles got the message that they need to grow to support me so today was accompanied by muscle pain. Good thing today was about release! :D And that I learned through yoga to notice and accept how my body feels.
    Thanks for the workout, Adrienne! ❤

    I'm doing this practice on the 29th of January, very much feeling behind and before starting today I even wondered if it was even worth it, as the month is coming to an end. For me, this has definitely been a month of trasformation. I began this yoga journey, as I do every year, in holiday mode and in lovely Paris. On the 8th of January I moved out of my parents home to start my new life in Turin, Italy. I felt so weird and agitated in the new house and I didn't feel 'safe' enough to let go and practice for even 20 minutes. I'm now slowly settling into my new life and organically feeling the need to get on the mat again, so right now I just feel immensely grateful for the comfort and the alignment I can always find in these yoga practices! It feels like coming home to myself! From now on, whenever I feel like doing some yoga I will just do it. I guess I could say, today I released the guilt of not following this with the utmost consistency!
