Yes, I see people on Facebook yoga groups and here on UA-cam just having a showdown, and it's really offputting. This is why I love Adriene and YWA, because she makes everything approachable even if it's not, and doesn't push you to do things you're not ready for or comfortable doing.
let me tell you that is the reason she got a new subscriber. i love her simplicity !!! her energy !!! these pseudo yoga teacher that spend more time showing of their body than teach you spirituality... poor society and bloody social media . everyone pretend to be yoggi or fitness instructor
Joining the many others who are practicing this Reflect calendar 2024 I chose to maintain this daily practice into the upcoming new year Remember as fellow Yogis WE ARE ONE Namaste 🙏🏼
Yay! I did it! I wasn't sure at first, if I could do this yoga practice, today or not. I have a raging migraine, and have struggled deeply to do this practice, pausing it quite a few times when I felt really dizzy. I have done daily yoga, with you for 2 years, 46 days. I was determined, that a migraine wasn't going to change that. I am so pleased, I managed to carry on. I now realise, I am very strong, and there isn't anything I can't over come. ❤ So thank you Adriene, you have given me so much. I wish you all good things. I am off to rest now. See you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
Hello to all my YWA yoga buddies. I decided to post here today. I have been practicing on the FWFG app so have not been here as much. I had not done this practice in over 850 days. I did not even remember it, but it was so good to come back to even if it feels like my body is weaker than it was then. We can only go from where we are, right? Reflect. December 28. 1546 days.
More. One simple word. We need to honor each other more. That is my takeaway. Thank you, Adriene, for teaching me to embrace the change. Though I was terrible at Side Crow.
Reflect day 28🎉 thank you, Adriene, loved this practice, or rather what I could do of this practice, note to self don't do yoga only a few minutes after eating a dessert 🤦🏼♀️, will come back to this one again next year, when I can get the full benefit from it 🤣🤭. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
I'm so happy to do this today.....Thank you Adriene for this space to reflect & for you in my daily yoga journey. I choose to be grateful for all the experience. I choose to be thankful for all that has been and will be. Reflect Day 28:12:24✅ very liberating 💞😌 I choose me. I choose to be happy and free, i wish that for all practicing. May this coming new year be a peaceful fulfilling transition for us all. C u 2moro. Much love❤ Namaste ☮️💖🙏🏾
@zuriwilson-seymore8939 And you too. Peace to you my dear yogi Sis... it's been a lovely pleasure practicing alongside you and all this year. You too, have an amazing weekend❤️🦋🙏🏾🦋
I was supposed to move to Paris by the end of August to do my Masters there. With everything happening right now, there’s just so much uncertainty that I cannot draw a line between my dream and the unfortunate reality we have brought upon ourselves and to the world. I was stressed about the entire year going to waste. But then I now also realise there are many people who will never get to see the end of the year. This practise made me realise I’m grateful for all that I have now and I choose to be patient. If you feel your future plans are falling apart; if it’s meant to be, it will be.
Love this. I was also supposed to go to Paris this summer for a program really pivotal to my career and have been struggling feeling that summer is now a waste. But I also tell myself if it's meant to be it will be. Wishing you health and love in all that you do!
@@oliviafinkart Thank you! ❤️ I believe we will attend our programs when things eventually get better and when the time is right. Wish you all the love and luck in the world ✨
I was supposed to finish two years of volunteer work in Vietnam but only ended up serving for four months because of the pandemic. It took me a moment to realize that I'm where I'm supposed to be right now.
Reflect Day 28 🙏 December 28th, 2024 As another years comes to a close my heart is full of gratitude 🙏 I choose love & compassion 💛 along with a super size dose of acceptance 🙏
Thank you Adriene and Benji, for celebrating with me. Today is my birthday and I am so grateful to be able to celebrate with you and all the wonderful Yoga with Adriene community. I’ve been on this train for over 4 years now and my love of yoga as described and lived by Adriene grows stronger. Thank you for giving this treasure to the world! Namaste 🙏🏻
"I choose to:...Flow!" This mornkng I was looking for my meditation of the qeek, but instead accidentally pushes the button for one that was for Flowing, I honored the "accident" and made it, and I honor it here, too! I loved finding this video as it in fact is almost the end of the year and also, I am in fact during a transition moment. A time to make decisions, and I love coincidences. I love this video, the one on flowing, and a couple more. One speaking how acknowledging our differences is not bad as long as it is done respectfully (or celebrating, as you said), and another one about changing career pathways from a comedian! ♥️🌷🙌
I am usually not much of a commenter, but this practice brought exactly what I needed today. I will be starting my Research Masters in Psychology on Monday and as an autistic person this time of change is extremely difficult for me. I am really excited, but also scared of the new and unknown. The intentions I set were: I choose calmth and I choose self-love. They feel so bad to set in a culture which is so fast, but I truly do not crave a busy life. Thank you for helping me realise this. Now I can start my studies from my center and strive towards a calm but passionate career.
Since no one commented today, i will do. Move day 19 complete! I practice with you Adriene 3 months without break.(Im proud of myself :D) You gave me strength and love to my life. Thank you Adriene!
TW: Self-harm/suicide/depression ----- Day 19 of November 2020 - Ground: Yesterday I spent the day in bed trying (and often failing) to resist the urge to hurt myself because I didn't want to live anymore. Today I woke up feeling numb and sore and drained, but Adriene's invitation to accept who/where you are today and "not who or where you were yesterday" really hit home. It's a running joke in my family the amount of times medical professionals have suggested I try yoga to cure my depression, and whilst it by no means has, it gets me out of bed most mornings and allows me to forgive myself. When Adriene invited us to complete the sentence "I choose..." I said to myself that I choose life.
hey, just want to say i'm in the same boat. every day is a struggle, but it's nice to have this community and adriene's videos as a safe place to return to. today, i choose to keep trying (even when it seems impossible to continue). thank you for sharing your story. wishing all the best for you, friend!
I'm 16 and a junior in High School. Your words are inspiring me to show my love for my friends and family, appreciate them, and also myself. I especially like when you said, "We are more alike than we are different" because the world feels very divided right now and it is a good reminder. Love your videos, they make adolescence and change just a bit easier :)
REFLECT 🪞 | December 28, 2024 | This practice felt a bit more challenging than I remember today, a sign that my body is tired. I'm looking forward to starting the new year with Prana! Today I choose space, because I'm ready to make space for more rest. 🙏
Peace Cecilia! I love your choice of space for more rest. I have been receiving a lot of rest lately as I wasn't assigned any collegiate courses to instruct for this term which turned out to be a blessing. I have realized I'm no longer happy being a professor and I'm ready to transition into better opportunities. Have an amazing weekend! 🦋❤️🦋
My favorite thing about YWA is how she always gives permission and even encouragement to meet my body where it’s at today. And if i don’t look like her, that’s okay. Because only Adriene looks like Adriene. And only I look like me. And we both have a beautiful practice.
This is my first practice after my grandpa died last Monday. He was like a father to me, especially after I lost my parents. Tomorrow is the funeral. This gave me the strength I needed to go: "I choose to be courageous". Thank you Adriene xxx
You are so courageous and you deserve all the time and space to grieve as you need. Sending you healing thoughts and energy your way. I’m sorry for your loss ♥️
As we head into the 5th (or 6th) wave here in France and we celebrated Christmas with family and residents of the retirement home yesterday at a hot chocolate and brioche 'tea' yesterday I realize how important these daily sessions are for me to help me get through the last 2 years so I am strong enough and calm enough to continue working despite everything. I don't think I would have made it thus far without them. Thank you so much Adrienne - you help so many people in so many situations allowing us to take time for ourselves, live in the present moment and listen to our bodies and our hearts.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I work in healthcare as well-in a group home and outpatient setting, so I know that this has been a stressful time. Best of luck to you in the new year!
Who is here for the Meditate - YWA May 2020? 🙋🏼♀️ THANK YOU ADRIENNE for all you do. You are a lifesaver and I hope I will have the honor to meet you one day! 🧘♀️💜
If anyone is practicing this during quarantine because of the Coronavirus, as I am, pay attention to what Adriene said on child's pose: "Sometimes things get uncomfortable before they transition, before a blossoming, before a change. Can we remember to trust the process? To trust the struggle?". I think this is very appropriate and important for this moment. Thank you for these beautiful words, Adriene!
I choose to honor myself and the people around me by wearing a mask and following social distancing. I choose to believe that we will get through this together with love and respect. namaste
Aw c'mon Adriene. I'm 55 TODAY Can't get close to that arm balance with feet off the ground, haha. Thank you for all your practices. They have helped me immensely. And today, for the first time ever, I was able to finish your sentence with ME. I choose..ME. (not in a selfish way though.) Namaste
SEEK to meet n greet w openness / beginner mind I choose to be true to be mindful to focus on now to SEEK and connect w breath Thanks for many wise reminder thru out the practice Namaste to all practising (such a good revisit!) and May all find ease in transitions / shift of moments
I choose to continue. I struggle with depression and anxiety and I have wanted to give up during the last couple of months. I accept myself for who I am today and I trust that if I keep going, things will be okay. Thank you for this practice ❤️
April was a rough month for me. My dad passed away and days ago I found out a former love had died last year. That surprisingly really affected me even though two decades had past. I missed a bunch of days in April but am starting off this fresh month strong. We have to use these times to redirect ourselves towards what is important and also care for ourselves. Keep going! 💜
Hi Rachel, please don't give up, you matter so much and so many people would miss you, including me! Please continue and if you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to me 💛💛
My body says thank-you for all the hip opener poses AND the core practice with those fabulous bird-dog movements in the video intro. That thing that looked like a sideways crow pose; well, let's just say it's not in my vocabulary yet, so I instead stayed in a squat and worked with that. I'm learning to recognize my edges AND to respect where I am - all because of you Adriene! A wonderful yoga instructor! Namaste! 🙏 From Dad & his Son 😊
I'm practicing this in what will probably be recorded as the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, when everything is changing. I choose to be optimistic. I choose to believe that eventually, this time of terror and uncertainty will end and we will all be able to walk together in the sun again. Thanks for this practice, Adriene.
Dear Kind Person, I am an optimistic person too; yet, look at where we are three months later -- back to square one. So sad.... Hope you are well. Love, Sandra
I choose to be Well (in body & mind) I choose to be true - self and others I choose to be at ease as can be May all be well, healthy (in body & mind) and be at ease Namaste to all practising Thanks Adriene and YWA for adding this into STILL as we/I remember STill as part of transition as well as choices I am making
REFLECT upon I choose to be well (and what that means to me :) ) i choose to be thankful for all I choose to be grateful for what is namaste to all practising and may all find ease in transitions
September 2022 'Celebrate' - Day 1. It's the first day of spring here in Australia and I'm using this month's challenge to get back into yoga, after a long cold winter's break. Here's to a beautiful spring and upcoming summer season!
Happy to be here for day 2 of Celebrate 💞 My grandaughter has just been allowed her first messenger app so we video called and did it together ❤ Special moments 🙏💕
@@hannalofman2444 it is 💞 She usually will practice with me at weekends using an old mat I had but she's much more inclined now to do every day as I bought her first real mat for her birthday last month. It makes me so happy too that she will already have this in her toolbox as she grows up and encounters stress 💕
Today, my old boy Flash the cat is transitioning from this life we have shared to the afterlife. I am going to miss him so dang much. He has been my yoga buddy since he joined our family in 2015, and until recently, never missed a session. At this moment, it seems that without him, joy may never be found again. Thank goodness little Red Sonja is here to comfort and remind me that joy can be found if you just look around. Thank you, Adriene, for your lovely practices. Flash and I have enjoyed them so much. I am sure that Lil Red will pick up the slack in her big brothers absence.
I know this isn't what you mean by transition but I just got my first testosterone shot today (I'm transgender) so this video is amazingly topical for me! :)
After rather suddenly loosing my father yesterday, this practice has given me calm, help with acceptance, and hope. Yoga has not only helped with my physical health over the last 3 to 4 years I've been following Adriene, but my mental health too. Thanks and namaste. 🙏
i'm leaving to move in to college in a couple hours, so this was very timely! i choose to stay in the moment and embrace all the excitement and uncertainty that comes with starting this new chapter in my life. thank you so much adriene, you helped me get through the pandemic and i'm sure you'll help me through this transition as well!
Little did we know in December 2019 what 2020 and 2021 would bring... I started YWA in March 2020 and have kept up with practising almost every day. I am so grateful for your channel and this community. Let's continue to MOVE...
Moved to tears toward the end when Adriene started talking about recording the practice at the beginning of a new year... Oh, grasshopper, you knew not what we were all heading into in that new year. For some reason, thinking about the poignency of that moment in time and what we have all endured for the past year plus made me weep. Also: I was sort of able to do side crow -- my first time ever. Thanks, Adriene!
I knew this practice would be challenging for this senior yogi but I needed to complete it for my positivity. I wallowed in my favourite shark’s fin child’s pose, the transition from all fours was yummy. I enjoyed the lizards, meeting my edge super stretchy. I did my best with high lunges and missed out the cobra and last chaturanga. I did toe stand balancing while I watched your side Crow poses 😳 how do you do that Adriene ? .... amazing ! Well I’m done for today, see you tomorrow on the mat but not for 51 mins 🤔 I’ll find a yummy swap 😂 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
When we did this practice in December 2019, we didn't know what year 2020 would bring us. It was a blessing for us to be a part of YWA in 2020. Thank you so much Adriene ❤️🙏
Reflect l 🦋❤🦋l Day 28 l December 28, 2924 l Blessed Beloved Beauties! I always appreciate this session which promotes an internal freshness. It's also energizing. I'm excited about transitioning into new opportunities in my life and walking away from what no longer serves me. I choose to be at peace. Best wishes everyone! What di you all choose? 🦋❤️🦋
At the beginning of the quarantine, over a Zoom call, a friend recommended YWA. My teenaged daughter & I have enjoyed yoga (with your video guidance) together 3-5 days/week. ever since. We particularly like that each session has grace, & none are too challenging (for us), so we approach them with enthusiasm, & prioritize that time we spend together. Gracias Adriene!
I choose to trust. Leaving in two hours for a trip to a place I've never seen, with people I've never met. This was perfect for calming my nerves, the excitement in the unknown is now growing bigger than the fear. Thank you so much for this year Adriene, you've been a source of calm in the constant flow of life, the angel on my shoulder whispering that someone always has my back. The same goes for this whole community. I love you. Looking forward to come HOME next month, See you!
Doing this practice as part of MOVE March 2021, I found myself nodding when you said "we're more alike than we are different." Sending love throughout this practice to the Asian-American community - you belong and are loved
I’m grieving for the victims of hate crimes against Asians and women, and the victims of the military coup in Myanmar. It’s been so hard but I hope to see light at the end of the tunnel.
Some people in general do not see the blessings that abound in the United States. Of course a lot of people do. We immigrants that have grown up in different countries or travelled a lot are ever so grateful for being able to live here and have the freedom to travel and learn. Yes hate crimes are intolerable. More love, more yoga, more Adriene.
Wow wow! I just LOVE this one. I’ve never done this before… so I never knew I could do a crow variation. That felt so good. I got emotional. “I choose me”… if I look after myself first then I’m more ready and able to look after others. This is what I said to myself and then Adriene pretty much said the same thing at the end. I felt seen… even through my screen. 🥹 I think Adriene always connects with us all because she always starts from a place of love. ❤️ thank you, Adriene. 🙏🏻💛
I am just scrolling through the calendar archive and I was wondering what practice was on the calendar on December 17th 2021 and it was this one....That day our son was born and I transitioned into the role of a mother. I mean...wow! What a connection!
I choose to be me! After so long and finally get myself back to the practice with you Adriene... Every single word is really touched and feel so great to be with you again! Thank you so so much Adriene 🫂 love you
Yesterday I really felt like quitting yoga, I didn't feel how I felt when I first did it, and no matter where my mind takes me, whether it's to not believe the good in the world or get confused about every decision I make, I know you are right Adriene. I need to find my breath and accept my situation. I just need to find what feels good. Cheers to being human and not feeling amazing everyday. 💜
I choose to be true I choose to be as Mindful and true to self N others I choose to stay grateful to body and mind I choose to take care of self (so I can serve others) May all be well and have ease of being for now, for 2022 for all transitions Namaste to all practising - Season Greetings, happy holidays and GREAT 2022 (Looking forward to MOVE!!!) yay!
Move Day 19: I choose calm, that is to remember to remain calm when in challenging situations. Typically I start my day calmly with Yoga With Adrienne, but it's difficult to remain calm all day. I'm glad to be back on the mat the next morning for a fresh start each day. I enjoyed the challenge of side crow today!
Exactly the same sentiment and routine for me. As my day gets stressful I almost look forward to bedtime so I can wake up and do yoga. A few times I've pushed myself to get on the mat in the evening to release the day as well. Without thinking today, my mind went to "I choose to center what's important." Hope you have a great day1
I have read so many posts about people who have broken out into tears during a practice. Although, I could understand why, I never actually experienced it for myself until this one. This practice felt like a best friend giving me a big hug and letting me just sob it out. The peace I now feel is incredible. Thank you so much,.
Sometimes the smallest things can overwhelm us more than the big things in life.... My concept as to why..... Sometimes we don't put up our barriers for these so our true selves become exposed.... Cry but be happy....cause you did get to show your true inner self...
Carolyn Arbuckle I feel the exact same way! I always read about others crying but never experienced it until Adriene said this experience with has taught her “that we are more alike than we are different” and for some reason that reverberated through my core and I was close to tears.
Im having a hard time in my country now and waking up every day and have the opportunity to take the moment in with u especially today as I cried my eyes out the night before its truly what I live for so thank u thank u to your beautiful voice and guidance its been truly a pleasure.
@William B. I knew you were coming onto a full year of daily yoga practice and wanted to congratulate you, but you didn't comment that day- so here is to you committing for over a year now. Have a wonderful day!
I am feeling better now that I am seeing your comment! I have been reading yours every day. It has been encouraging to me. It's nice to see you again! You have been missed! ❤️
There is so much running through my mind right now and I've got no idea how to express it, but to say THANK YOU! For giving me this calm, loving space within me, to which I can return to everyday. Lots of love!
In this time of transition, how do you finish the sentence - I choose...?
I choose peace and harmony.
I choose to love myself so I can love the other amazing people in my life. Namaste !
Yoga With Adriene I choose to find my passport today it’s hiding somewhere and I choose to find it
Yoga With Adriene I also choose to have a good day today 🙏
To let go!
I like how she is not showing off her yoga’s ability and accepting other people’s abilities. Real guru.
I agree! I think that's one the main reasons so many people love (practicing with) her!
Yes, I see people on Facebook yoga groups and here on UA-cam just having a showdown, and it's really offputting. This is why I love Adriene and YWA, because she makes everything approachable even if it's not, and doesn't push you to do things you're not ready for or comfortable doing.
True, very nice sessions.
let me tell you that is the reason she got a new subscriber.
i love her simplicity !!!
her energy !!!
these pseudo yoga teacher that spend more time showing of their body than teach you spirituality...
poor society and bloody social media .
everyone pretend to be yoggi or fitness instructor
Yup:)
Joining the many others who are practicing this Reflect calendar 2024
I chose to maintain this daily practice into the upcoming new year
Remember as fellow Yogis
WE ARE ONE
Namaste 🙏🏼
I choose hope. I choose to not feel guilty for putting myself first. I choose to enjoy life. Thank you, Adriene. 💜
Day 28 of Reflect! I mistakenly did Day 27 again today. I suppose that means i needed a double dose of Adriene today. Nameste,All. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Yay! I did it! I wasn't sure at first, if I could do this yoga practice, today or not. I have a raging migraine, and have struggled deeply to do this practice, pausing it quite a few times when I felt really dizzy. I have done daily yoga, with you for 2 years, 46 days. I was determined, that a migraine wasn't going to change that. I am so pleased, I managed to carry on. I now realise, I am very strong, and there isn't anything I can't over come. ❤ So thank you Adriene, you have given me so much. I wish you all good things. I am off to rest now. See you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
Hello to all my YWA yoga buddies. I decided to post here today. I have been practicing on the FWFG app so have not been here as much.
I had not done this practice in over 850 days. I did not even remember it, but it was so good to come back to even if it feels like my body is weaker than it was then. We can only go from where we are, right? Reflect. December 28. 1546 days.

Reflect day 28! Better late than never) I choose to be present and to be a present is what came to my mind.
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💚💚💚
I’ve been watching you for a while and let me say it’s like seeing a friend every time you show up on my time line
I was supposed to move to Paris by the end of August to do my Masters there. With everything happening right now, there’s just so much uncertainty that I cannot draw a line between my dream and the unfortunate reality we have brought upon ourselves and to the world. I was stressed about the entire year going to waste. But then I now also realise there are many people who will never get to see the end of the year.
This practise made me realise I’m grateful for all that I have now and I choose to be patient.
If you feel your future plans are falling apart; if it’s meant to be, it will be.
Amrita Jeremiah wow! This is a huge realization! I know that you are going to make it to Paris!
Love this. I was also supposed to go to Paris this summer for a program really pivotal to my career and have been struggling feeling that summer is now a waste. But I also tell myself if it's meant to be it will be. Wishing you health and love in all that you do!
@@sarahmclin2434 That's so kind of you! Thank you 🙏 ❤️
@@oliviafinkart Thank you! ❤️ I believe we will attend our programs when things eventually get better and when the time is right. Wish you all the love and luck in the world ✨
I was supposed to finish two years of volunteer work in Vietnam but only ended up serving for four months because of the pandemic. It took me a moment to realize that I'm where I'm supposed to be right now.

I choose to try the side crow and I did it!!!! I can't believe it 😁 so proud of me!!!
That’s awesome! Congrats 🎉👏🙏
TW: Self-harm/suicide/depression
-----
Day 19 of November 2020 - Ground: Yesterday I spent the day in bed trying (and often failing) to resist the urge to hurt myself because I didn't want to live anymore. Today I woke up feeling numb and sore and drained, but Adriene's invitation to accept who/where you are today and "not who or where you were yesterday" really hit home. It's a running joke in my family the amount of times medical professionals have suggested I try yoga to cure my depression, and whilst it by no means has, it gets me out of bed most mornings and allows me to forgive myself. When Adriene invited us to complete the sentence "I choose..." I said to myself that I choose life.
Keep choosing life. You are worth it.
Just think of all the people out there throughout the world wishing you well. You are SO worth it. Stay positive . 💖
I wish the best for you... may you continue to heal and chose life. You are so so strong 💙
Glad you chose to accept who you are today. Wishing you many happy tomorrows full of life and of course yoga with Adriene!❤
hey, just want to say i'm in the same boat. every day is a struggle, but it's nice to have this community and adriene's videos as a safe place to return to. today, i choose to keep trying (even when it seems impossible to continue). thank you for sharing your story. wishing all the best for you, friend!
I'm 16 and a junior in High School. Your words are inspiring me to show my love for my friends and family, appreciate them, and also myself. I especially like when you said, "We are more alike than we are different" because the world feels very divided right now and it is a good reminder. Love your videos, they make adolescence and change just a bit easier :)
Still wondering if this really happens!!!! ua-cam.com/video/G1V6iz4YPJ8/v-deo.html
Right? I'm so thankful that I got introduced to yoga at such a young age.
REFLECT 🪞 | December 28, 2024 | This practice felt a bit more challenging than I remember today, a sign that my body is tired. I'm looking forward to starting the new year with Prana! Today I choose space, because I'm ready to make space for more rest. 🙏
Peace Cecilia! I love your choice of space for more rest. I have been receiving a lot of rest lately as I wasn't assigned any collegiate courses to instruct for this term which turned out to be a blessing. I have realized I'm no longer happy being a professor and I'm ready to transition into better opportunities. Have an amazing weekend! 🦋❤️🦋
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 best wishes for your transition!
wow - perfect timing today in late December 2024 - not just the practice but your words and even their tone. Thank you!
My favorite thing about YWA is how she always gives permission and even encouragement to meet my body where it’s at today. And if i don’t look like her, that’s okay. Because only Adriene looks like Adriene. And only I look like me. And we both have a beautiful practice.
I chose not to be a victim of my patterns of behaviour and my thoughts...i chose to be a better person next year...⛄❄🍀☘
Ooooh strong one! That resonated hard. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏼🙏
Yes!!!!!!! 🙏
This is my first practice after my grandpa died last Monday. He was like a father to me, especially after I lost my parents. Tomorrow is the funeral. This gave me the strength I needed to go: "I choose to be courageous". Thank you Adriene xxx
My heart is with you. Be gentle with yourself, even as you are courageous. All love.
@@deb9498 thank you xx
sending you energetic love and comfort doll
You are so courageous and you deserve all the time and space to grieve as you need. Sending you healing thoughts and energy your way. I’m sorry for your loss ♥️
My warm wishes are with you. I hope they envelope you in a tight hug . You're brave and courageous and kind . You're loved ❤️
As we head into the 5th (or 6th) wave here in France and we celebrated Christmas with family and residents of the retirement home yesterday at a hot chocolate and brioche 'tea' yesterday I realize how important these daily sessions are for me to help me get through the last 2 years so I am strong enough and calm enough to continue working despite everything. I don't think I would have made it thus far without them. Thank you so much Adrienne - you help so many people in so many situations allowing us to take time for ourselves, live in the present moment and listen to our bodies and our hearts.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I work in healthcare as well-in a group home and outpatient setting, so I know that this has been a stressful time. Best of luck to you in the new year!
Totally with you Lynn on how Adriene has helped get so many through this time.
I feel exactly the same way
I always finish your classes with a smile. You are an inspiration namaste 🙏
Who is here for the Meditate - YWA May 2020? 🙋🏼♀️
THANK YOU ADRIENNE for all you do. You are a lifesaver and I hope I will have the honor to meet you one day! 🧘♀️💜
If anyone is practicing this during quarantine because of the Coronavirus, as I am, pay attention to what Adriene said on child's pose: "Sometimes things get uncomfortable before they transition, before a blossoming, before a change. Can we remember to trust the process? To trust the struggle?". I think this is very appropriate and important for this moment. Thank you for these beautiful words, Adriene!
Yes!! I heard those powerful words too
@@BrittStarr Stay safe too!
I choose to honor myself and the people around me by wearing a mask and following social distancing. I choose to believe that we will get through this together with love and respect. namaste
Namaste🧘♀ God bless🙏
Aw c'mon Adriene. I'm 55 TODAY Can't get close to that arm balance with feet off the ground, haha. Thank you for all your practices. They have helped me immensely. And today, for the first time ever, I was able to finish your sentence with ME. I choose..ME. (not in a selfish way though.)
Namaste
SEEK
to meet n greet w openness / beginner mind
I choose to

Thanks for many wise reminder thru out the practice
Namaste to all practising (such a good revisit!) and May all find ease in transitions / shift of moments
i choose to be happy
thank you so much for the lovely start of this month
i love you
I choose to continue.
I struggle with depression and anxiety and I have wanted to give up during the last couple of months. I accept myself for who I am today and I trust that if I keep going, things will be okay.
Thank you for this practice ❤️
April was a rough month for me. My dad passed away and days ago I found out a former love had died last year. That surprisingly really affected me even though two decades had past. I missed a bunch of days in April but am starting off this fresh month strong. We have to use these times to redirect ourselves towards what is important and also care for ourselves. Keep going! 💜
Hang in there! ❤️
Props to you to still finding the strength to practice yoga (you too William B), I wish you both the best ❤️
@@7ScarletRoses Thank you for your kind comment Anja. 💜
Hi Rachel, please don't give up, you matter so much and so many people would miss you, including me! Please continue and if you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to me 💛💛
My body says thank-you for all the hip opener poses AND the core practice with those fabulous bird-dog movements in the video intro. That thing that looked like a sideways crow pose; well, let's just say it's not in my vocabulary yet, so I instead stayed in a squat and worked with that. I'm learning to recognize my edges AND to respect where I am - all because of you Adriene!
A wonderful yoga instructor!
Namaste! 🙏
From Dad & his Son 😊
Happy trails🎉 never heard her say that before at the end❤ strengthening practice, streach them wrists before this ditty. SEEK SEPT 2023
I'm practicing this in what will probably be recorded as the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, when everything is changing. I choose to be optimistic. I choose to believe that eventually, this time of terror and uncertainty will end and we will all be able to walk together in the sun again. Thanks for this practice, Adriene.
Dear Kind Person, I am an optimistic person too; yet, look at where we are three months later -- back to square one. So sad.... Hope you are well. Love, Sandra
I choose to be Well (in body & mind)
I choose to be true - self and others
I choose to be at ease as can be
May all be well, healthy (in body & mind) and be at ease
Namaste to all practising
Thanks Adriene and YWA for adding this into STILL as we/I remember STill as part of transition as well as choices I am making
Excellent way to start a Friday. Feeling marvelous after this.
Balance day 17. 439 days in a row.
I choose to be the best version of myself for myself. 🙏
Thank you Adriene ❤

September 2022 'Celebrate' - Day 1. It's the first day of spring here in Australia and I'm using this month's challenge to get back into yoga, after a long cold winter's break. Here's to a beautiful spring and upcoming summer season!
Happy to be here for day 2 of Celebrate 💞 My grandaughter has just been allowed her first messenger app so we video called and did it together ❤ Special moments 🙏💕
Great to hear from you, what a lovely thing you too can do together🤗😍
@@hannalofman2444 it is 💞 She usually will practice with me at weekends using an old mat I had but she's much more inclined now to do every day as I bought her first real mat for her birthday last month. It makes me so happy too that she will already have this in her toolbox as she grows up and encounters stress 💕
@@loublou5886 That is so great, lots of love to both of you
@@hannalofman2444 and you 💞 have a great weekend 🙏💞
Another transition in my life. This was so helpful. I choose balance. I choose to define my own success.
Today, my old boy Flash the cat is transitioning from this life we have shared to the afterlife.
I am going to miss him so dang much. He has been my yoga buddy since he joined our family in 2015, and until recently, never missed a session.
At this moment, it seems that without him, joy may never be found again. Thank goodness little Red Sonja is here to comfort and remind me that joy can be found if you just look around.
Thank you, Adriene, for your lovely practices. Flash and I have enjoyed them so much. I am sure that Lil Red will pick up the slack in her big brothers absence.
My condolences on the loss of your Flash. May you continue to find comfort in your Yoga practice as you see him there beside you in Spirit. ❤
Big smiles for my first ever side crow!
I know this isn't what you mean by transition but I just got my first testosterone shot today (I'm transgender) so this video is amazingly topical for me! :)
Congrats! Sending you love and good vibes! :)
@@alliecity Thank you!
Best of luck to you!
This is a perfect transition for this video! I think yoga would pair super well with HRT to find love and power in your body!
Congratulations! I'm two months late to this comment but I hope it's going well
After rather suddenly loosing my father yesterday, this practice has given me calm, help with acceptance, and hope. Yoga has not only helped with my physical health over the last 3 to 4 years I've been following Adriene, but my mental health too. Thanks and namaste. 🙏
You're very brave, I'm sending you a lot of strenght and love from France. Stay strong 💪
Sorry for your loss, Jason. I hope your memories of your father bring you some joy amidst the sadness.
i'm leaving to move in to college in a couple hours, so this was very timely! i choose to stay in the moment and embrace all the excitement and uncertainty that comes with starting this new chapter in my life. thank you so much adriene, you helped me get through the pandemic and i'm sure you'll help me through this transition as well!
Good luck! Enjoy these years, they will be a distant memory before you know it 💞
Good luck girl 🙋🏼♀️
Enjoy every minute of it 🎈
Seek day 26! I choose to be brave!
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💚💚
Little did we know in December 2019 what 2020 and 2021 would bring... I started YWA in March 2020 and have kept up with practising almost every day. I am so grateful for your channel and this community. Let's continue to MOVE...
so I think we were practicing together Namaste sending lots of love ❤
Me too
Done on September 26th 2023. In the process of moving so it was very fitting 💖
sometimes things get uncomfortable before they transition and blossom. Thank you for that reminder, Adriene
23 Feb 2024 - I choose to continue happily to the next phase of life, whatever that may be. Thank you, Adriene, for being there to accompany me. 💕
Moved to tears toward the end when Adriene started talking about recording the practice at the beginning of a new year... Oh, grasshopper, you knew not what we were all heading into in that new year. For some reason, thinking about the poignency of that moment in time and what we have all endured for the past year plus made me weep. Also: I was sort of able to do side crow -- my first time ever. Thanks, Adriene!
I knew this practice would be challenging for this senior yogi but I needed to complete it for my positivity. I wallowed in my favourite shark’s fin child’s pose, the transition from all fours was yummy. I enjoyed the lizards, meeting my edge super stretchy. I did my best with high lunges and missed out the cobra and last chaturanga. I did toe stand balancing while I watched your side Crow poses 😳 how do you do that Adriene ? .... amazing ! Well I’m done for today, see you tomorrow on the mat but not for 51 mins 🤔 I’ll find a yummy swap 😂 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
I choose gratitude. Grateful for yoga with Adriene and the encouraging practice videos she shares with her followers.
When we did this practice in December 2019, we didn't know what year 2020 would bring us. It was a blessing for us to be a part of YWA in 2020. Thank you so much Adriene ❤️🙏
Thank you Adriene, namaste x
Like an angel dropped down from heaven. I know today I am blessed!
That is one chilled dog! Benji is a role model to us all. Thank you Adriene
Reflect l 🦋❤🦋l Day 28 l December 28, 2924 l Blessed Beloved Beauties! I always appreciate this session which promotes an internal freshness. It's also energizing. I'm excited about transitioning into new opportunities in my life and walking away from what no longer serves me. I choose to be at peace. Best wishes everyone! What di you all choose? 🦋❤️🦋
last week of the Dec series and I have been skipping around a bit but planning to do them all by the end of the month and keep going in the new year
At the beginning of the quarantine, over a Zoom call, a friend recommended YWA. My teenaged daughter & I have enjoyed yoga (with your video guidance) together 3-5 days/week. ever since. We particularly like that each session has grace, & none are too challenging (for us), so we approach them with enthusiasm, & prioritize that time we spend together. Gracias Adriene!
I loved this practice today, I will try to work on the side crow, not there yet :) Thank you Adriene and Benji for the sunshine every day ❤❤
Day 1: I choose to open my heart and let go.
As always, I am truly grateful for you Adriene! Namaste 🙏🏻
I choose to trust.
Leaving in two hours for a trip to a place I've never seen, with people I've never met. This was perfect for calming my nerves, the excitement in the unknown is now growing bigger than the fear.
Thank you so much for this year Adriene, you've been a source of calm in the constant flow of life, the angel on my shoulder whispering that someone always has my back. The same goes for this whole community. I love you.
Looking forward to come HOME next month,
See you!
Have a great trip!!!!
Jen Niebla-Love thank you!!
Ella Warnberg 😊♥️
Have a wonderful adventure, Ella! Love you!
❤️❤️❤️
I practice yoga everyday with you Adriene, Thank you so much, this is a sweet session. Hugs!
Day 100 with Adriene - feeling stronger, feeling calmer and feeling grateful for this practice during this uncertain time. Thank you! ❤️
One thing I'm greatful for that Ive done during my lifetime so far is this, my yoga practice with YWA. Love to you. Thank you! Namaste
Greetings Kara! Are you on the Spark journey? It seems as if I'm on the wrong practice. I thought this was day 22? Nice to meet you. 😊
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 everything is as it should be ♥️
@@karamiller7311 Absolutely! 🦋❤🦋💯 👌🏿
Doing this practice as part of MOVE March 2021, I found myself nodding when you said "we're more alike than we are different." Sending love throughout this practice to the Asian-American community - you belong and are loved
I felt the same, it felt so topical right now.
I’m grieving for the victims of hate crimes against Asians and women, and the victims of the military coup in Myanmar. It’s been so hard but I hope to see light at the end of the tunnel.
Some people in general do not see the blessings that abound in the United States. Of course a lot of people do. We immigrants that have grown up in different countries or travelled a lot are ever so grateful for being able to live here and have the freedom to travel and learn. Yes hate crimes are intolerable. More love, more yoga, more Adriene.
Agreed! We’ve had a increase in the USA. So terrible 😢
You are a blessing soul, bless u my friend. And may the healing and peace come back to us all soon.
Wow wow! I just LOVE this one. I’ve never done this before… so I never knew I could do a crow variation. That felt so good. I got emotional. “I choose me”… if I look after myself first then I’m more ready and able to look after others. This is what I said to myself and then Adriene pretty much said the same thing at the end. I felt seen… even through my screen. 🥹 I think Adriene always connects with us all because she always starts from a place of love. ❤️ thank you, Adriene. 🙏🏻💛
I am just scrolling through the calendar archive and I was wondering what practice was on the calendar on December 17th 2021 and it was this one....That day our son was born and I transitioned into the role of a mother. I mean...wow! What a connection!
I choose to let go of what I cannot control and embrace the beauty around me 🙏🏻💕
💖
I choose to be me! After so long and finally get myself back to the practice with you Adriene... Every single word is really touched and feel so great to be with you again! Thank you so so much Adriene 🫂 love you
I choose to be HAPPY :) I choose to be STRONG. I choose to be PRESENT ❤️
MOVE day 19 complete!!
Yesterday I really felt like quitting yoga, I didn't feel how I felt when I first did it, and no matter where my mind takes me, whether it's to not believe the good in the world or get confused about every decision I make, I know you are right Adriene. I need to find my breath and accept my situation. I just need to find what feels good. Cheers to being human and not feeling amazing everyday. 💜
I choose to be true
I choose to be as Mindful and true to self N others
I choose to stay grateful to body and mind
I choose to take care of self (so I can serve others)
May all be well and have ease of being for now, for 2022 for all transitions
Namaste to all practising - Season Greetings, happy holidays and GREAT 2022 (Looking forward to MOVE!!!) yay!
A very challenging 24 hours for me, so this was a comfort. Well said. On to whatever is next.
Just moved to Alaska from Colorado. First yoga practice since the big transition. Helped me get re-centered. Thanks you :)
How is it that no matter how I'm vibing on the days that you release a video you channel that and the video connects. Magic. 🙏
Move Day 19: I choose calm, that is to remember to remain calm when in challenging situations. Typically I start my day calmly with Yoga With Adrienne, but it's difficult to remain calm all day. I'm glad to be back on the mat the next morning for a fresh start each day. I enjoyed the challenge of side crow today!
Exactly the same sentiment and routine for me. As my day gets stressful I almost look forward to bedtime so I can wake up and do yoga. A few times I've pushed myself to get on the mat in the evening to release the day as well. Without thinking today, my mind went to "I choose to center what's important." Hope you have a great day1
I have read so many posts about people who have broken out into tears during a practice. Although, I could understand why, I never actually experienced it for myself until this one. This practice felt like a best friend giving me a big hug and letting me just sob it out. The peace I now feel is incredible. Thank you so much,.
Sometimes the smallest things can overwhelm us more than the big things in life.... My concept as to why..... Sometimes we don't put up our barriers for these so our true selves become exposed.... Cry but be happy....cause you did get to show your true inner self...
Carolyn Arbuckle I feel the exact same way! I always read about others crying but never experienced it until Adriene said this experience with has taught her “that we are more alike than we are different” and for some reason that reverberated through my core and I was close to tears.
This video actually selected me. We have all been transitioning these last two years. Hope and health to all!
Im having a hard time in my country now and waking up every day and have the opportunity to take the moment in with u especially today as I cried my eyes out the night before its truly what I live for so thank u thank u to your beautiful voice and guidance its been truly a pleasure.
Nice, swift practice today. Feeling pretty good at the moment. Hope everyone else is! 💜🙏
Still day 8. 369 days in a row.
@William B. I knew you were coming onto a full year of daily yoga practice and wanted to congratulate you, but you didn't comment that day- so here is to you committing for over a year now. Have a wonderful day!
Yeaaay now i can see your comment again!! Same, I'd like to congratulate you for the 1 year anniversary. Thanks for always inspiring us here! 🙏🥳
Now I can see you! Happy yoga birthday and congrats on the milestone -- félicitations ! 🥂
I am feeling better now that I am seeing your comment! I have been reading yours every day. It has been encouraging to me. It's nice to see you again! You have been missed! ❤️
Huge congrats on getting to this point.🎉👏🏻🙏🏻
Happy Trails to you too! Thanks Miss Adriene! You always help to put a smile on my face! I sure do appreciate you! 😊❤️
There is so much running through my mind right now and I've got no idea how to express it, but to say THANK YOU! For giving me this calm, loving space within me, to which I can return to everyday. Lots of love!
Done this one several times because it’s such a great little vinyasa and stretch but today it really resonated with me. ❤
I choose to live my life to the fullest today😌
