What are you thankful for today?
I am thankful for having been led to Yoga with Adriene. the stretching comes and goes and feels the same wherever you practice, but, this kindred spirit of hers seems to be a cure for chronic pain that ails me...
I used to have chronic pain for years due to anxiety, but with consistent daily practice with you for the past 3 years, I can honestly say it has left me. I am thankful for myself for showing up everyday and for you, Adriene, Benji, and the YWA community💝
Big lovin’ INHALE, long, slow, EXHAAALLLE🌬
Adriene you ALWAYS know what I need!! getting ready to try out the video cuz I'm having some really bad lower back pain 😪 much love and appreciation ❤️🙏🦌
Answer: Adriene, this yoga community, the ability bodies (and hearts) have to heal and for opportunities to share that.
For Jesus rescuing me from despair and sadness!!! Thank You my God! Love your sweetness Adriene. Thank you for your awesome stretches. Appreciate you.
I have scoliosis and have struggled with chronic pain since my teens. I'm 28 now. And knowing that I will probably be in pain for the rest of my life is overwhelming/maddening/infuriating. I am in pain every day, every minute of that day. Even if the level is just a 2 or 3, it's still ever present. It feels hopeless and exhausting most of the time. I say all this to let anyone reading know it's okay to not be okay. To rage against your body. To feel betrayed by it. To just want give up. You're not weak. You're not whiny. Chronic pain is rough as hell. You deserve wonderful things. Keep trying. Yoga has lessened my pain some but mostly it has helped me reconnect to this body and be a bit more forgiving with its failings. I'm glad you exist, random wonderful human reading this comment. You are more then your body and the pain it brings. Best of luck♥️
Thank you for sharing this, it made me cry. Ive been strugglinig with pain on almost every part of my body for a year now. And I dont know what to do. We went to doctors used creams but nothing really works. Im at the last year of highschool and I have to take an exam but bc of the pain I feel like it is not possible for me to sit and study. So I told myself that I can heal and take the exam next year. I couldnt study this whole year, and bc of the virus I just stayed at home and didnt go to school either. And the year almost ended, tjerr is just 2 months left to exam and I m not sure if this pain will ever stop. Ive been doing nothing all day, just sitting laying on bed. And this doesnt help at all. I know I have to do something but I dont know what to do. Even my hands are in pain, my legs my arms. Not to mention my neck or back. I dont know what to do. What can I do. Im sorry english is not my first language, so at this point Im just writing whatever. Will this video help, I hope it helps. Dpctor sd it is bc of stress and scoliosis, but I cant take treatment right now. And I was never good at being positive, I think I just always had a bad mindset an was not good to my body. So its only fair if my body is giving up on me..
Thank you! Your message is very inspirational. Blessings to your good health.
Im crying reading this, both because of my pain and the relief I got reading your post. To be ok not being ok. It’s so exhausting to be in constant pain. Thank you @meowlock.
Thanks for sharing this. I've struggled with severe PTSD going on 4 years. It got so bad I had to stop driving. Luckily, I have a support system to lean on. Yoga has greatly lessened m psychological pain, and it has been severe. But it is lessening over time now, and I am overcoming the trauma. On that positive note, I'm getting my teeth cleaned next month! I had to put a lot of things off because of daily and hourly panic attacks. Those attacks can last all day, but they come and go now instead of lasting for hours. Even if I have a bad moment or day I feel that I will be okay. Namaste.
hi! i have severe chronic knee pain (in my left knee) and also cannot stand up for long due to a neurological condition that causes weakness and muscle spasms in both legs. i do this yoga every night, you are so strong and i wish you all the best too!
Sending love out there to anyone who may be struggling with chronic pain. 🙏🏻
Right back to you too. Namaste 😊
Thank you
LOVE TO YOU AND NAMASTE.
Hey thanks bro! ♡
@@Averylovellmusic Of course! Stay strong, man!
Story time: this is the first time I have cried during yoga. Currently I am dealing with an undiagnosed reproductive disorder (as in, the doctors are inconclusive on my exact diagnosis at this time). And the past few days have been some of the worst pain days I've ever had in my life, almost fainting at work and spending most of my night with a heating pad just to feel okay enough to be awake. Today has not been much better and I've been consistent with Yoga with Adriene's yoga calendar almost everyday for a month and a half...except for yesterday. This made me feel very weak, as I had become so much stronger in my daily practice and to feel like I couldn't do basic movements made me very scared. Seeing this video in my subscription box...I was wary. I sat on my mat to begin and got through most things pretty well until we started stretching our sides while standing and then...the tears just flooded. Not because of pain, but because I realized that I didn't need to go full force to be able to do the practice. I wasn't able to stay in the downward dog for long, but I focused on breathing through the moments. It became working with my body to see how I can improve my day IN THIS MOMENT. Not everyday is an advanced posture day, some days you just need to breathe and I think today I was finally able to see that.
sending you love
Sorry to hear your pain, I've had similar symptoms in the past and found out that I have Endometriosis - it might be worth looking into, as my pain was so bad that I was nauseous, sick and so fuzzy headed particularly during my time of the month. Hope this helps xx
I am with @@louiseneale6637. I also had similar symptoms and finally got diagnosed with Endometriosis after many years of struggling. I hope you find relief from your pain and a doctor that will help. I know it can seem hopeless at times but keep at it. You deserve to feel well.
I am just beginning with yoga & started with Adrienne’s gentle yoga for beginners. I found this program & saw your post about Chronic pain. I though I’d share my experience (in the hope it’ll help others). I was severely injured in a motorcycle accident 37 years ago & developed something called “RSD” (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) now referred to as CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). It’s been a real challenge dealing with this over the years with pain medication, multiple internal stim device implants to my spinal cord. I even under went Ketamine therapy when the pain medication I was taking for many years suddenly stopped working. All of this while working & raising a family. First, if it wasn’t for my wonderful wife, I’m not sure I’d have been able to do all of this. She too is a big proponent of yoga (she’s taught yoga & meditation for more than 25-30 years) as well as practicing a responsible nutritious diet (which she has been telling me to investigate for years). I want to share my experience when I finally listened. I first reduced my sugar intake by 90%. I began a gluten-free anti inflammatory diet, reduced soy intake by 95%, no pork, no beef (only fish & poultry) & no dairy. For 2 years (and counting) I’ve reduced my daily nerve pain by >75%. I’ve just recently eliminated poultry & reduced fish by 50% and have seen even more improvement. Overall, beside a huge reduction in pain, I lost about 35 lbs and have more energy. This might not be for everyone but for me it’s worked.
Hey Britney I noticed your comment and had to reply! I was diagnosed with endometriosis 5 years ago and since then I have found so much help over at Flo Loving (it's a website) who has tons of resources for pain. When I discovered Alisa's work I started working with the 4 seasons of my cycle and that led me to activating my calling, studying menstruality and creating a business around it! Perhaps this will help you too! Much love xo
Honestly teared up with every validating statement, as someone with chronic pain, this is way more than a yoga routine.
It sure is. I use this routine on days when I have a Fibromyalgia flare-up and it always lessens the symptoms. Every.Single.Time. The mental relief I get knowing that there is a tool out there I can tap into is, well, priceless.
@siriuslyconfused1 I had the same reaction and emotions as you. Ans Adrienne thank you for helping us not in body but in mind and kindness. You get it. Thank you. So hard to explain to others just what it's like everyday to live with pain with no help from medical professionals.
Me too!
More of these would be great! An all over joint pain/rheumatoid arthritis video would be amazing :)
Yes please!
Definitely!
That would be great #rawarrior
Ooh yum
Yes please!
This video has pulled me out of a weeks long fibromyalgia flare up. I've been doing it almost every day for 2 weeks straight. Thank you so much for everything you give of yourself, Adriene. Your community loves you and needs you.
I feel you. I'm in a flare up right now. Will be gentle on myself and keep moving. The tendency is to be still, but slight movement is important.
Good morning 🌞 how is everyone's day 2 of HONOR?
Never been better!☺️
great
So great. What a gift 🌞
I got completely lost during this practice, in a positive meaning. It was incredible
Great! How was yours?
Love reading all the comments from everyone doing the Honor practice with me. :) See you all tomorrow.
Being 20 (21 next month) and living with chronic pain is... not easy. It can be hard to acknowledge what I'm going through and take time for myself when I spend my days trying to keep up with my friends and peers who are running around, healthy. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away but addressing it makes me feel weak. Your yoga practices give me time to sit down with myself and tell myself it's okay to be the way I am, and that it's important to slow down and look after myself. And the great thing is that when I do that, I get relief from my pain and my life gets easier. Your videos are a reminder for me that taking time for myself will improve my health and my quality of life. Even if doesn't cure the pain completely, it makes it better. Thank you for all you do, reminding us that we're all important, and no one is alone. You are a light in the lives of so many.
I feel this so so much as a young adult. It's so hard to acknowledge but u realise u have to acknowledge it to get better.
Just hearing the sound of your voice makes me relax.
Honor, day 2. Still wasn't sure if I should or wanted to do yoga, but gave it a try anyways. I fortunately don't suffer from physical chronic pain but mentally, there is a lot of stuff tzat needs to be healed. Thank you for this practice and a great day to everyone! You all are amazing, keep going 😊
This sequence has to be the slowest, gentlest practice ever, suited to many abilities especially suffering painful conditions. It is one to return to for some comfort, you’re always there for us Adriene 🙏☺️🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
So grateful. I cried so many times during this. "Let something go", "you're doing great" and the mention that other people don't understand was so healing and gentle. It was so kind and made me feel like I wasn't a failure, as I have done many times trying to practise. Thank you 💖
yea, finally. thanks Adrienne
Heres my favourite TIP CP peeps: I got a large sized heating pad for dogs ( because it doesn't get too overly hot) and put it under your yoga mat.
.......you might be some kind of genius
Yum
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! I didn’t request this but I definitely need it as I have fibromyalgia. I love your videos!
I also have fibromyalgia. The video is amazing especially helpful at easing a flare up
Love you, Pauline! xx
I suffer from fibromyalgia too
Me too!!
@@yogawithadriene
The split-screen for alternate poses is brilliant. The only way it could be better is if "mirror universe" Adriene and Benji had goatees like Evil Spock. (Maybe an idea for Benji's animated series.) 🤔
When you forget what day it is and your YWA notification feels like Christmas 😂 This looks like such a relaxing practice. Thank you ❤️
Adriene, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me turn my life around.
Day 9 of November ❤️🙏🏼
Nourish Day 9: I'm here today following the YWA calendar. I don't feel chronic pain today, but a few weeks ago I was experiencing severe lower back pain, and at that time I took a break from the YWA calendar to instead follow the YWA yoga for back pain videos. I did not know about this video, but now I do! Hopefully I won't NEED this video any time soon, but it's good to know it's there, just in case. I like the way Adriene recommends use of a chair as a modification. That suggestion would have been helpful for me when my back was hurting. Grateful my back feels back to normal. I wish all of you who are following this video a full and speedy recovery.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m currently dealing with some severe lower back pain myself that came out of nowhere. I’m taking it easy but looking forward to the pain being gone. One day at a time! Namaste Joanne 🙏
Likewise, Joanne…I did her Yoga for Lower Back Pain video, too, this week when I was having a twingey back, and it was very relieving. So nice to find a kind way to help the body feel better. Hope you are doing better, too.
I recently found your UA-cam channel and have tried a few of your older videos. So far I’m enjoying the videos but breaks my heart seeing Benjie trying to get comfi on the hard floor 😌. Please give him a soft bed right there in your studio or I won’t be able to concentrate in my yoga practice 😭🤪😉
showed this to my mom, she has been living with chronic pain almost her entire life with chronic lyme disease and fibromyalgia. she really liked the practice today!
I have chronic pain & Lyme Disease, as well. Give your mom my love! Does she watch UA-cam? My channel is for people who live with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, etc. It's all about being alive & finding joy (without coming out & saying that). I just like keeping it pleasant.
Doing the Honor month! Do people do these in the morning or at night? Trying to figure out when it’s best.
I prefer mornings but sometimes am busy and I make sure I do it at night. The important matter is to make it daily but not beat yourself up if you miss a day. Try both and see what works best for you. In general, the more energetic, flowing practices are better earlier in the day so you do not wind yourself up before bed.
What a treat. Legs up the wall on a Tuesday morning! Good luck to everyone in chronic pain. I’ve been there but no longer I’m pleased to say. Yoga has helped me so much. 🙏
Much love to anyone struggling with their health! Especially those who suffer in silence. In the past few months I've been dealing with chronic bladder pain. I begin physical therapy this week and hopefully am on a journey to finding my own healing alongside medications. Thank you so much Adriene for this video and the reminder of all the ways my body is capable!
i clicked this so fast. i’ve been struggling with chronic pain for about a year and can’t wait to try this. thank you adriene for all you do 💗
hello alex, i'm sorry to hear about that - i too have suffered for years - i'm grateful to adriene and others who share so much wonderful things to help.
if you, or anyone is open to it, there is an amazing book by dr john sarno called 'healing back pain', simply reading it relieved much of my pain from years. there are some fascinating things in this book and hope you could make time to check it out
sending love to all dealing with pain, it's controlled my life for too long
Paul C hi paul, thank you so much. i’ve dabbled a bit in sarno’s work and it’s so fascinating. looking forward to listening to the audiobook 😊. sending love and healing to all dealing with this crazy illness as well 💛
Back to practicing in the morning after meditation. Feels really nice to start off the day. I have allowed some mornings to get away from me, by needing to sleep longer or by doing other things instead. Then I would have had to either get a daily sequence in quickly before afternoon work or in the evening after I returned. Much more fulfulling to start off the day with practice and still have the option of additional time in the evening.
Nourish day 9. 401 days in a row.
To whomever liked this comment a couple hours ago, I appreciate it. The Move calendar is over, and I finally got to sleep earlier last night. I had been thinking since waking that it would be nice to return to morning practice. So thanks! 💜🙏 It was like a message of encouragement!
Hai adriene
I am sridhar 24 year old, I have abnormal heart beat from childhood its always above 95 to 100 then nearly last 9 months regularly doing ur yoga videos, now my heart rate comes to around 75, yes I think this change is only because of you so thank 🙏💕 u soo much for ur wonderful✨😍 contribution in my life🙏🙏🙏
pichamuthu M that is an average heartbeat unless you are crazy athletic.
@@juliettehilton438 my heartbeat is 60. That heartbeat is a bit high.
greenfairy nena the normal resting heart beat for someone over 10 is between 60-100. So yours is actually on the lower side.
Juliette Hilton, just because 90-100 is the top limit of “normal” doesn’t mean it is necessarily a good, healthy resting HR. Though in the “normal” range, a higher resting heart rate could be a sign of an increased risk of cardiac risk in some situations, as the more beats your heart has to take eventually takes a toll on its overall function.
In fact, research has found that a resting heart rate near the top of the 60 to 100 range can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease and even early death. While a heart rate is considered normal if the rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute, most healthy relaxed adults have a resting heart rate below 90 beats per minute.
Your resting heart rate, when considered in the context of other markers, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, can help identify potential health problems as well as gauge your current heart health.
For example, one study that tracked the cardiovascular health of about 3,000 men for 16 years found that a high resting heart rate was linked with lower physical fitness and higher blood pressure, body weight, and levels of circulating blood fats. The researchers also discovered that the higher a person’s resting heart rate, the greater the risk of premature death. Specifically, an RHR between 81 and 90 doubled the chance of death, while a RHR higher than 90 tripled it.
I know I’m throwing out a bunch of facts. But I’m also speaking from personal experience of having a high end of “normal” RHR for basically my whole life. Then eventually graduating to high blood pressure. Which I have since been able to bring down both my resting HR & BP naturally, through exercise.
The time to check your heart rate is first thing in the morning before moving if possible. It might take a bit of practice to get in the habit of checking your HR but when you first wake up, don't move around, gently check your HR and record it. When I was in college running marathons my wake-up resting HR was 40. Keeping track of this value can help tell you that you are overtraining if the value is higher than normal for multiple days along with the symptoms of overtraining. For me, it was an indicator that I was getting sick with a virus, my HR would be up and the next day or so cold symptoms would appear. For someone who always has a resting heart rate of 95-100 and brings it down consistently to 75 that is excellent. Ranges are simply that, ranges for all types of people and sometimes it doesn't matter what the value is but what it does over time. Pichamutha M started HR 95-100 and after 9 months of regular yoga practice with Adriene it has been steady at 75, this shows improvement for them, quite a bit of improvement imo.
I love you so much. I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis and I watch your videos all the time to help relieve and deal with the pain and stiffness. I was so excited to see this video thank you SOOOO MUCHHH
Love you, Lisa. Namaste. xx
What other videos do you recommend as I have rheumatoid arthritis as well and find it hard
YES YES YES!!! Daily practice since January has made me so HAPPY and HEALTHY!!! It's the BEST thing that has happened in 2020 (besides the announcement that I am going to be a Grammy!!!!) Namaste!!!!
Same💚 Not a Grammy yet, but here's hoping☺️
Congrats!
Day 9 of Nourish and I'm not moving from legs up the wall any time soon 🥰
Fibromyalgia warrior. More of these or specifically for fibromyalgia suffers would be so welcomed and appreciated. Give a boop to Benji
Yes pls
Hello Honor community!
It's exam season here in Australia for us uni students and just as I pull away from sitting at my desk all day for some yoga I see this video got released just 30min ago 😍 Adriene you are my guardian angel getting me through med school 🙏
I cant wait to do this! After a back injury and 1 month of rest, I finally did a yoga practice (Dec 2020, day1) a few mins ago. I still need to observe if I can do this tomorrow.
For back pain and injury I really recommend Dr Melissa West Restorative Yoga for Lower Back here on YT, she is very knowledgeable and gentle with pain and injury, really helped my chronic back pain. Hope you heal soon Tina!
Agreed on melissa west. Her restorative yoga helps me sooooo much. I never knew it was what ive been missing all these years!
I absolutely love how careful she is with this video. No promises of curing anyone, and she makes it clear to adjust as needed. This is what people with chronic pain need
yes! couldn't agree more
I love the extra consideration you took with the chair for those with chronic pain. Thank you for what you do! I had a serious bout of mono and extreme fatigue this last year and your videos have helped me love and listen to what my body needs as I increase strength and mobility again!
Rebekah, I send you a hug! I know how you feel. I got chronic fatigue syndrome after mono, so I can relate to you very much! Take care!
Right, i bet that chair insert helped a lot of people
Check into epstein barr and how you can manage. My mono among other viruses trigger fibromyalgia, Epstein Barr and cfs.
hey,
thank you Adrienne for acknowledging people with chronic pain. At then end of 2020 I luckily found your UA-cam channel. I´m 17 years old and struggle with chronic pain since 4 years. No one could diagnose me with anything. And I come from a culture where mental health smh. doesn´t have any kind of relevance. My pain comes from traumas and stress. I never knew that was possible, but last year I changed my perspective. Still no one in my family believes that I could have any pain as the doctors didn´t find anything. That really makes me feel lonely. I just hope that anyone with chronic pain who reads this know, that we are in this together. Let´s just appreciate ppl. like Adriene for showing us these beautiful practises.
I pray that you all can change your circumstances, which help you relieve your pain. I found yoga, work-out, get acupuncture and go to therapy. Sometimes mental issued can harm your body as well. It´s enough if you acknowledge it. You are love and enough.
Stay strong!
Lots of love from me❤✌
11/09/2021 - Thank you for today’s practice Adriene. It has been about 2-3 months that I’ve been off of my yoga mat, but I’m glad that I’m coming back to it.
Bless you for this video! I am a teen with severe MPS, and a lot of people just tell me to just push through the pain which j find harder and harder to do. I used to be a big athlete before my symptoms started showing, and I really hate living in pain. This is seriously like a light in my life. Thank you
No one is alone, we're all in this together ❤️
Remember that!!
That was wonderful! Nourish Nov 9, 2021. Namaste🙏🏽❤️💚💛🙏🏽
Enjoyed the slow pace of this practice, so so gentle! As I was holding my legs against the wall, I was like "wow, I've got such pretty legs!" Who knew?! Again, I bow to you and your infinite love to the human kind(ness)!
cool words, Nice profile you got, how are you doing today?
cool words, Nice profile you got, how are you doing today?
I just have to say, as a fellow yoga guide, I always ALWAYS recommend your channel to my students! You always give such spot on cues, and throw in some humor. Also, my almost 1 year old daughter gets SO EXCITED everytime I roll out my mat and turn on your videos.
Thank you for all you do! 🙏
Sure enough I am experiencing chronic pain but I am also experiencing my menstrual cycle. It seems like the two go hand and hand. I get the really bad headaches that make me feel nauseous.
You super yoga, thanks 🙏
Fantastic 💗💗💗
wow!! i have chronic pain and this gives me hope. what a beautiful practice thank you so much
I’ve never cried during yoga until now. I have fibro as a lot of us in these comments do. I think it’s east for us to distance ourselves from out bodies because of the amount of pain we go through on a daily basis but this video forces you to reconnect. I resisted at first and wanted to stop but I kept going even though I was in pain and I’m proud of myself
Good morning from Germany to everyone out there 🤗 Am starting my daily YWA practice now, feeling connected to everyone who is also starting the video right now or who is doing it today according to November‘s schedule 🤗💛 lots of love and have a good day
💕🙏😊
This is new video for me - I appreciate it.
I am thankful for this video - to remind self to nourish/ embrace discomfort / pain within
Wake up feeling blah so this is such a timely re set space of being for me
Namaste to all practising
nice 25 minutes.....thanks! Nov 9, 2021
It’s practices like this that drive home how versatile and beautiful the practice of at home yoga truly is ☺️ thank you Adriene. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Namaste, Jess. x
Yoga With Adriene 🙏
This is an excellent practice for cold and flu season! I have a head cold and yesterday I substituted with Yoga for When You're Sick. I was glad to see a gentle practice on the calendar for today so I didn't have to think of another substitute.
My chronic pain had me at breaking point this week, I came home from work Wednesday and did one of your videos, it is only Friday and I have done one every evening since, and feel so much better already, my neck and shoulder pain has become more manageable and mentally I feel stronger xxx thank you xxx
I’ve really been internally stressed for the last couple of days or so and this video has calmed my nervous system down so much! Thank you Adriene!
This really helps me calm down when my overuse injuries are flaring up like crazy. Thank you so much for what you do! 💜
I cried too, as soon as I started. I think a lot of my pain was from chronic stress and anxiety. I felt infinitely better afterwards. You're an angel Adriene
Have you overcome the pain?
I always skipped the legs up the wall part before and didn't this time and it completely takes away any pain. Thank you :)
Interesting to experience a slower pace, initially feeling a bit frustrated but then found my focus and appreciated working through each posture. Loved feet up the wall & def going to try that before bedtime. Thx Adrienne B-)
I loved that cobbler's pose variation! The change in blood flow/ different feeling of gravity in legs was really interesting.
My hip was already hurting me when I started this, so I was a bit nervous to continue. However, this is the first yoga video for chronic pain that I’ve found that doesn’t hurt me. I completed it all the way through! Thank you.
Oddly enough my employer gave me my new shoes yesterday and this morning I cannot stand on my left foot! Oh the agony! The pain of having a foot and using it on the ground to move! Thank you for one, precisely on time in my life🧘🏻♀️
Benji had me laughing out loud licking Adriene's leg in the chair version! Thanks Adriene for a great video.
for anyone who feels like they can’t do this, just go through half the video and it’s always okay to modify and take breaks. i’m on day 2 of honor and i felt like a failure for almost missing this session, but like what adriene said you find what feels good for YOU. it’s okay if you finish 5 minutes, or 10, or even just stay for the breath. you’re doing amazing!
Love this video! I'm in the beginning of a fibro episode and only made it 1/2 way through, but I'll be finishing it up after I take a rest. My body is still seriously tender but way better than it was before I started the video! Thanks Adriene!!!
Was such an emotional release for me, I spent the majority of the practice releasing those pent up emotions through tears; which meant modifying nearly the entire video to just sit. and. breathe. Thank you ❤️
A million thanks for this practice! 🙏💚 Some days are harder than others. After back and/or neck spasms, moving is extremely challenging. Thankfully, I can manage some of the modifications and move enough to finish the day. Thank you for all you do. 💚
Awesome Relaxing in Standing and Wall Stretching!!!
Done in these days:
-8th November 2021: ✅
I’m so happy I found you. My daughter has CRPS. I can’t wait to have her see this and start doing yoga. This is a very bad week for her. As her mom I feel helpless. I hope this session will help. Thanks
Awesome practice. I've been trying to do legs up the wall once a day for at least 5 minutes because the feeling afterwards is so great. The way it literally gets the blood moving and causes you to breathe through the initial weird feelings is really beneficial.
December calendar 💮anyone?
Thank you so much for this practice, I have an undiagnosed neurological disease and I'm in pain all day, I have trouble walking and doing just my daily life. I felt so assured during this practice, and I let myself be flexible with my body's capacities without judging it. Just doing what felt right, you're a great teacher! I'll definitely keep doing this :)
agreed! ,,,, i have severe chronic knee pain (in my left knee) and also cannot stand up for long due to FND which causes weakness and muscle spasms in both legs and i do this yoga every night
Hello Adriene, thank you for another great yoga practice! I've been rehabbing a torn rotator cuff since March and am now able to do a few downward dogs without pain. I found that your yoga for surfers video helps and completed the root chakra vid on Tuesday, wondering if you have a practice video that helps with gentle strengthening those muscles that wrap around that rotater cuff?? Thanks again for sharing your awesomeness and Benji too!! Namaste
Thank you so much! I am 23 and have a hip injury from my time in the military and have been so discouraging trying to stay active because I feel weak. Your message of kindness brought me to tears multiple times and made me feel so accepted. I was medically discharged and went through YEARS of doctors and my peers downplaying my pain. Thank you for giving me permission to be gentle with myself.
I started this practice feeling anxious and overwhelmed and that feeling continued to where I had to stop the video a few times to calm myself. When I started the legs up the wall pose and you started talking about relaxing the body I felt so understood and that helped me to finish the video. Thank you.
Love the split screen, I had forgotten about seated warrior I. I can bring that back for my students with limited mobility. Excellent!
I don't have chronic pain, but I have numbness in my left leg and left foot that doctors suggest is a result of a pinched nerve in my L4, L5; just above the spine. The numbness is normally not painful, but it is a nuisance, and I know it is always there. I have tried physical therapy, chiropractors, physical therapy, TENS machines and acupuncture. Nothing has worked, although yoga seems to alleviate the situation. I feel better throughout my body after exercising daily with your yoga videos for 2.5 years. Do you have any recommendations for pinched nerves or numbness? I'll try anything. Thanks, from Dallas.
Enjoyed trying the legs up the wall part!
hi! thank you for this adaptable yoga, i have severe chronic knee pain (in my left knee) and also cannot stand up for long due to muscle spasms in both legs and do this yoga every night
I practiced this today to tell my self that everything is going to be ok and Im ok despite the feelings I am having now..
it was my first time to cry during practicing yoga as I felt Im not alone..
Thanks Adriene.. Im grateful 🌸
You are not alone and everything is going to be ok. I once read that everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end. Remember this 💞
@@loublou5886 yes you are right.. Its not the end.. Thanks for your kind words and support

Love Yoga. Corps pose is my favorite:-)
Wow! Thanks so much Adriene.
I said to a friend how I wanted to start yoga but was a little hesitant about it, and my friend recommended your channel.
This is by far the best yoga instruction I've ever had.
Thank you for your calming and loving instruction.
My body can do this~
hello I am here.... sorry, the ad ran before I could hit SEND.... thank you Adrienne... this will help arthritis...
Honor Day 2! Day 60 of return to YWA! This was nice. I loved the reminder to do legs up the wall. That had been missing from my daily practice. I even managed a happy baby on the way down. That was fun! Thank you Adriene! 💜
I am so relaxed , wanna go to bed right nowww. in a few hours. thksss Adriene Xxx
We forgot to shut the window last night, I woke up acheing all over from the cold. Looked at my yoga calendar and was relieved to see the lesson for today. Just about able to go to work now thank uuuu xxcc
*Splendid Work. Regards You.*
Thank you Adrienne, I am 81years young and have had several spinal surgeries. I pray I can do this daily. I was amazed at how hard it was to get on the floor. I did yoga when I was younger and raised a family, it allowed me to handle stress.
I have lots of chest pains from stress and they come out even when I'm not stressed. Doctors don't know why and all I can do is relax for them to stop flaring up. If you have any advice please help
My daughter suffered like this when she was preparing for exams and beyond. Hers got so bad she was sent to hospital for an ECG (electrocardiogram) which showed no heart or other physical causes. A kind young doctor sat down with her and explained that there was nothing physically wrong but that stress could cause physical responses - as a young person she didn't really know that. The attention he gave her, and his explanation about the benefits of breathing (and yoga) helped her a lot. She still gets this pain but so much less, and she seems more able to deal with it because she knows her heart is OK and it will pass. I realise it's not as simple as this for many people and there might be all sorts of causes like trauma which don't go away just because you tell them to... I have found that yoga is not an instant fix but with time, repetition and commitment it creates in me a balance in mind and body which protects me from the many anxieties life rattles me with. I wish you well x
Thank you, Adriene! I enjoyed this practice this morning with the sun shining through my windows. ⛅
I don't have chronic pain and have never dealt with chronic pain, but I've recently had terrible nerve pain in my lower body. This offered relief (that and ibuprofen). The gentle warrior and the legs on the wall gave me immense relief. Thank you. It would also be amazing if you made your videos more disabled people-friendly, like this one. You visually showed what the variations would look like on the screen next to the "normal" postures. There was a lot of thought and care put into this specific video, so thank you again.
Im writing this comment during the practice to say this - this one is one of the hardest - FOR MY MONKEY MIND
My gosh I'm all over the place.
Namaste! 🙏
I randomly started doing yoga because I thought it might help with any type of headache I'm going through (we're not sure if those are mini strokes, cluster headaches, a simple migraine, brain tumor or anything alike) and I am so thankful I did. I feel so much better already and your routines help me feel better and feel accepted. So glad I tried it out. Thank you Adriene, greetings from Adrianna. :)
Hello just interested in your comment, my mom suffered with migraines really bad, she would pass out and at times it would mimic a stroke, after a few hospital trips they discovered it was a rare form of migraine called hemiplegic migraine. I’m not sure if you have found out what yours is but I just thought I’d share the name in case you as still searching. Hope you’re well.
Had a nasty slip and fall last week-- smacked head and tailbone. This thoughtful and compassionate practice was exactly what I needed to start toget back on my feet. Almost feeling human today. Thank you, Adriene!

Nourish day 9, really gentle practice today without putting any pressure! It had calming effect on me specially last part, now I feel like going back to sleep again! ❤
Andrea you are amazing!! I have fibromyalgia and tried normal yoga and it didn't work. You have changed my life today! I am going to totally recommend you to my fibromyalgia Canada site. Much love from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦💞💞💞💜💜
I love the emphasis on "Honour where you are today"!!
NOURISH day 9
