      I did this one sitting in the sun next to a pond with fish and with the autumn leaves coming down in a preoccupying-not-normal but beautiful hot autumn day. Thanks for asking how we are feeling! After I felt so grateful and honoured to have the opportunity to “see you in real life” at the global girls’ summit I realised I still have a long way to go on this journey. Even though the idea of sisterhood and inspiration is very clear to me, I found myself the day after with this critical voice in my head. Asking myself over and over again if I behaved in the right way to show appreciation but thereby downgrading myself. Thanks to your classes about self love I reflected on that and I felt for once the need to share. Thank you for daily reminding us about self-love and being such an inspiration..

    Thank you, Adriene, for this video and for not only being an incredible teacher but also an incredibly strong, smart, courageous, funny, stunning, generous, kind and inspirational Woman, you are also so much more, the list really could go on. What you do and have done over the years is inspiring, I've learnt and grown so much from your videos, practices and words of wisdom, that I and I'm sure many others are better people for having you in our lives. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

I have this video on my watch later list and this morning, I decided to try and live for my loved ones. This practice has healed me and saved me from yesterday's aftermath. Thank you Adriene sensei. Thank you for helping me get back on my feet.

      a few years ago i also made the decision to live for my loved ones. sometimes i go back and have to remake that decision, but lately i've been having days where i've felt that i'm not only happy to be alive for my loved ones, but also happy to be alive for myself, to explore and to reinvent myself. it sometimes is difficult, as i'm attached to old habits that are hurting me but somehow without them i feel like i'm not myself. the ego is strong, but with love within and without it is possible to overcome them and just be. somedays it comes naturally, some days it's nowhere in sight. i hope you too have experienced a day of being happy and grateful to be alive in the past 2 years. sending love, forgiveness and hope to you!

    Clicked on it and hated it. Thought to myself “it better not just be this position the entire time” and I wanted to fast forward throughout to see if it was. I didn’t and continued however. About half way through, breathing 4-6’s, my ache in the midst of my back, slightly right side, went away. I had a mental shift and realized this is one I need every morning to ground my mind and improve my posture. It dissolved the negativity within me. What a discovery. Thank you all the way from California to London. Have a good day everyone.

      Robin George It’s all the ego. It’s still very difficult to operate in this system of ego’s in an egoless way. I’m not planning on moving to Tibet to become an egoless monk, but what I will do is work to have an ego of compassion and care instead of the nihilistic tendency’s that know to surface. Yoga helps balance ego and spirt so both work in harmony as best as “we” can manage this dance within the vessel. Thank you for checking my ego. I always appreciate someone else’s perception. Cheers.

    Adriene - I was diagnosed with Chronic Pain Disorder 3 years ago, aged 16. I was in constant pain all down the right side of my body for years. I tried everything: painkillers, acupuncture, more, stronger pain killers, hot water bottles, tens machines etc, but nothing really helped. It was so limiting, I couldn’t do sport or walk long distances, it prevented me from going out with friends and even going to school. However, it’s been a lot better the last few months and i put this mainly down to the fact that I started doing yoga around a year ago; it’s helped me unbelievably. Im so much stronger and have this connection to my body that I’ve never made before. I still get the pain and it hasn’t gone completely away, but it’s a lot more manageable now. I’m at university doing a degree that I love, I have some wonderful, new friends, and importantly I am able to live a life that’s not defined by my pain, and it’s wonderful. Thank you Adriene xxx

    I rarely post comments on videos, but I'd really like to share this. I started doing yoga with Adriene almost a year ago, with the beginning of the first lockdown in Italy. I was suffering and am still dealing with anxiety issues. More than once I gave up for days or weeks, because it was easier (and I was more used) to not care about myself. Today I started again after 20 days of pause, from the end of "breath", and I am so glad I found the way to reconnect with myself. I wanted to thank you Adriene and all the community for teaching me self love and self kindness. Everyone of us and in the world is worthy, is loved, is important. Thank you for reminding me this everyday. Namaste😊💜🌸🍀

    Adriene-first time commenter, but really hope you see this one:
    In January, I attempted the 30 day yoga journey for the 3rd time. Tried 3 years in a row and just couldn’t stick with it. I hadn’t found exercise or movement that resonated with me enough to stick with it. I have a tough relationship with my body. Former dancer, gained ~100lbs over the past 11 years after I stopped dancing and never could stay consistent with a fitness routine or if I did, I got injured doing it. Every type of exercise feel like a chore
    This year’s Breath was the first 30 day I completed. And now in June, I’m still here. I can only describe it as: it was just the right time this time around for me. It felt right. It felt like an oddly divine push that compelled to keep going. I never planned to adopt a daily practice, but here I am.
    It’s the first time I feel strong and SEE how strong I feel. I notice the differences in my every day breathing, and my overall outlook feels lighter. My husband and I recently moved and I had to miss the end of May’s calendar. Previously, I would have given up after that. But I’m still here and motivated to keep going.
    Thank you for cultivating such an inclusive space for my fellow fat folks. It’s never about the weight loss or the way you can look from yoga here. It’s the connection, the inner reflection, and the ~expansion~ to be part of something greater. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So eternally grateful for this channel, you, and this community.

    Honestly, this felt like a prize at the end of the day because, oh? Someone actually just wanted me to sit down, clear my mind, connect to myself and just breath for 20 minutes? I was half driven to tears. And when you asked, close to the end, to check up on how we are feeling? I unfortunately couldn't find any emotions, it was like they were all buried so deep or it was like they were intentionally hidden to keep me from crumbling but I did find gratitude for the moment. So thank you so much for this

I followed this awesome practice with Gentle, Relaxing, Cozy Flow for some yummy slow stretches. This combination is perfect because it ends with a breath count of 5 in, then 7 out, exactly as in today’s Pranayama Potion. I was so zenned, I had to get up off my mat carefully and REAL SLOW 😆 but feeling relaxed and happy. See you tomorrow on the mat Adriene 🙏🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️💕

    The way you talk and are authentic helps a lot. You identify with hard days and great days. You help me meet myself where I’m at. I’ve only been doing your videos for 10 days in a row now but I’m proud of myself and can tell I am growing already. The ability to feel and see my emotions vs react is the first thing I noticed, second is my flexibility and less dissociating. Third is, i can tell if I haven’t done yoga yet in a day. I crave the mat now and am grateful to practice with you! Thank you friend! Peeling back one layer at a time to meet myself.
