Day 2 was awesome, thank you! It feels MAGICAL to be alive today, aware and open to all of the possibilities out there for us to embrace! Beautiful existence, grateful and excited! Namaste, Peace & Awesomeness ~
@@JG-qp9dl I can feel you, but Adriene and this community is here to pick you up when you feel like you can´t do this. You can and i believe in you. As Adriene always says it`s all ready enough that you come to the mat. You are never alone with those feelings and i hope you all the best
I love these 30 day challenges! I am in Scotland…these are for the world. So for those asking for a change of timings to fit their personal time zone, just start the programme one day late! The videos are available and free. This is for the world!
Yup today is 3 Jan in Singapore and I'm following the video for day 2 at 930pm. I can also choose to do this practice again say tmr morning. And then day 3 practice on the morning of Jan 5. Just adjust my timing a bit to fit. V appreciative for the videos' availability 🥰
2020 was a hard year for me. My wife passed , I have a toddler so I’m a single parent in my 20s and I had an injury which stopped my boxing career. 2021 I just comfort ate and put all my waking hours into my kid. I haven’t slept and This year 2022 I decided to start getting back to Me. So I take this time and follow your lessons and hopefully can get physically and mentally fit again Thankyou Edit - Wow thanks so much for the messages I really really appreciate it. All love
As Adriene suggested in one of her emails, I shared the fact that I would be doing a daily yoga practice in January with my family. It turned out to be very helpful today! I woke up later than usual, which altered my whole schedule for the day, I was already thinking I would have to do this 30 minute practice tomorrow! But my grandma encouraged me and helped me find a moment for it. Grandmas are the best 💘 I'm grateful for these peaceful minutes, for the heat and the struggle. Today I felt I was pushing myself while still listening to my body. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did, and that you have a lovely day. Namaste.
I mentioned to a few people that I'm doing 30 days of yoga ... one friend remembered that I used to go to yoga classes frequently, and reminded me how much I enjoyed it. Very true! I am grateful for the support as well - to read your stories and share mine.
I am doing Move again in March 2024. When Adriene mentioned doing the video with others, I was curious to see how many did it at the same time. I checked the numbers and there were seven of us. Select community. 😂
Don't know why but when you said, "notice what it feels like to be alive today" it really hit me at the end. When we practice and it's challenging, there's a bit of heat and our hearts are beating a little faster; it's really great to be aware and feel that we are alive. Make the most of each day! Good morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are, wishing you all the best and sending lots of love. Thanks again Adriene! Namaste ❤
What I really like about this series already is it doesn't feel like working out. Yes, it's physically quite challenging, but instead of my brain cursing me out the whole time I feel calm. Instead of fighting myself, I am working with myself. I can already feel my balance getting better through taking big breaths and anchoring my body to the ground. I am excited to come back tomorrow!
You articulated what I could not. I have always struggled going to the gym, but this feels so much different and yet somehow I can still feel and see myself getting stronger
Exactly! My heels can never touch the ground in downward dog so I kinda start shaking and sometimes I have to go back to tabletop but I never beat myself up for it, even for some of the core stuff where it was really starting to burn it feels good to slowly work on those muscles
I am not sure who will read this. But if you came here today despite having the worst time of your life. I’m proud of you. I lost all my money to a person I trusted and have been crying all day, but I came to the mat and finished the session right before midnight. And I want you to know that you are worthy of everything amazing and you can get through anything. Sending lots of love.
You are amazing, strong, and beautiful. I’m so sorry for what you’re experiencing but you’re resilient and so strong for not letting it stop you. Be kind to yourself, one day at a time. Namaste 🙏 ❤
Here here! I completely agree! My best friend of 10+ years recently ghosted me, and it finally hit me last night. But I still showed up and am so glad I did. Let's continue being strong together! 💙💙💙
I've discovered today why I don't like to exercise. When my heart started racing as the poses got more intense, it felt the same as when my heart beats in my chest and throat when my anxiety kicks in. With Adriene's guidance I pushed through those negative thoughts and feelings. It's only day 2 and I'm already feeling better and noticing progress.
I'm the same way! especially when we unfold and relax, the feeling of my heart pounding between my chest and the floor immediately makes my mind race. But I think that getting used to that feeling and associating it with exercise, something that makes me feel good and connected with myself, will help battle that feeling out. Definitely glad for Adriene's guidance in those moments ☺️
I've struggled with this for years! You are not alone. Just keep breathing, deeply, and rest when you need to. Over time, you'll realize you're ok, your heart will calm, and you'll be able not only to enjoy yoga but also push through terribly anxious moments when they pop up off the mat in life!
i've experienced a fear of exercise since i developed hypochondria after a girl i knew died of a heart attack a couple years ago when we were just 18. it instilled this horrifying cardiophobia and exercising made me feel like i was going to die. it's such a scary feeling and it's hard to explain to someone...("well if you are scared of heart attacks/racing heart/etc, you should exercise MORE to make sure your cardiovascular system is strong!" ugh. i hated being told that.) some people just dont get it. but some do! and a lot of us here do! youre not alone. i remember one video of adriene's where my heart was picking up and i was going to stop, and she said something along the lines of "just see what happens if you surrender" and i remember thinking...wow... maybe i should just trust myself and let whatever happens happen. it was a small moment but it really hit me. sometimes we just need to surrender, if only for a moment. you can let yourself feel uncomfortable and scared after, but just see what happens if you let every part of you surrender for that tiny moment. sending love, from a fellow anxiety ridden exercise-phobe. x
Several years ago, I was so strong & proficient in yoga in even the most challenging poses. Since then my health has declined and fitness has not been possible for me for years. I am now hitting the mat again but carrying so much self-judgment. I can not even do half of these poses and I spend most of my time in child's pose, recovering from what little I can do. Right when I am feeling so discouraged, you tell me to whisper that I am strong. Thank you, Adriene... A million times thank you for helping my mind come back to the mat now that my body finally can.
Thank you for this practice, Adriene. I lost my Dad three weeks ago. With your practices yesterday and today I noticed how much my body literally and unconciously has collapsed into itself to ward off the hurt, the anger, the loss. Crouching the lower back, not lifting the pelvic floor. Things that came naturally to me before, are now weak. I'm trembling. I have to stop poses I had no trouble holding before. I will show up every day, hoping my body will find its way back to itself. Thank you.
Im sorry for your loss Anne. You are brave to share this, and I bet your Dad would be so proud of you right now . I am sure you will find your way back to your body. Stick with it!
I am so sorry for your loss! It is so hard to lose a parent. Well done you for showing up, yoga really helped me through a tough time when my mum died. Take care of yourself
So sorry for your loss, Anne. Lost my dad this past summer. Please be patient with your body and mind. I know it's frustrating when your body feels weak. But grief can be a lot. I'm having trouble with certain poses too, and working out in general, because of the grief. It will take time.
Anyone else doing this in March? :D It's good to be back even though I feel a little rusty after a long break from exercising. Thank you, Adriene! I love the 30-day programs!
Hi Ttattyiana, yup, started March 3! I'm coming out of health crisis for my daughter. Trying to get back to taking care of the caregiviner. See you on the mat!
I started yesterday lol day 2 was definitely a struggle for me after not doing yoga for 7 years 😩 but I’m so happy I’m committed and showed up. I lost my gma last year and we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of her passing. Among depression and stress, I decided I have to show up for me. My gma would have wanted that
Day 2, I’m still shaking and trembling in what seems to be “easy” positions. My wrists can’t go under my shoulders cuz I damaged them landscaping. I’ve cried during both practices, yet I’m still here. That, for me is a win. I will make it to the end, no matter how many downward dogs I have to sit out 😅
You are not alone! My right wrist doesn't bend normally either, but I do what I can. The fact that I am able to do anything at all on it is a miracle. And each day, I find I can do a little more. So grateful.
I did it! Yay! I wasn't sure I'd make it today, but I tried and I did it. Today I have terrible period pain, but I wasn't going to let that stop me, from meeting you, & sweet Benji on the mat, for some awesome yoga today. My Discovery that I've made, in this practice today, is my breath. Seeing how important the breath really is to life, and to yoga, and how much it helps with pain. The more I was breathing deep, the less pain I was experiencing, it was awesome. Thank you so much Adriene, I love my yoga practices with you, and Benji. See you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡🧘♀️🐶
A person is never lonely if there's someone in the world who treats them with sensitivity and care! It's so important for our hearts to be wrapped in warming rays of kindness! With joy, inexpressible deep gratitude and a warm feeling in my heart I say 'Thank YOU' for your sincere attention, Adriene! And indeed, the breath always comes first! I'm deeply grateful to you! May everything in your life create a happy, precious pattern! Thank you sooo much, Adriene & Benji 🙏🏼❤️🐾
@@amberflower6667 that's for sure, Amber! may we continue to support each other in this magical challenge! take good care! btw, great profile picture, hehe! ✨
It is hard to believe it has been two years since MOVE has released, and I started doing yoga again! and now I am doing the move series again in July 2024!! Thank you Adriene for all of these!!
Yoga with Adriene was my first ever yoga experience about 6 years ago now (Can't believe its that long ago now) I'm about 5 days 'late' to this 30 day journey as my day 2 was today but determined to do it all! I may not go through it in 31 consecutive days but finish it I will! while being kind to myself all through it but tough when I need that push. To all the 'late' comers! lets do this and do it at our own pace:)
I even like that I am late on the train. but I still continue and I will do all 31 days! I think it teaches you to be gentle with yourself. Being late is also a gift :)
Late? Or right on our time? I am also joining past the start date....yet it feel so empowering to show up and choose me..choose us choose this community...Adriene has been part of yoga journey for the past 10 yrs...and beautifully unfolded this yoga path that I am now forever connected to...
Yesterday I really struggled on day 1 and reached out to the community for support. I was comforted with kind words, love and encouragement. Today I showed up, I completed day 2 and it was like I could feel the strength of those words holding me in pose and trying that bit harder. I feel stronger already. Thank you for helping me to connect to the universe, something much bigger than just exercise 💜
Honestly, She's the most calming instructor. I really like the way you speak, it feels like you're with us in the same moment even if the video was released a year ago. Such a loving soul, thank you, Adrienne. Day 2🎉
I'm here again, and I couldn't agree with myself more! today was the first time in ages where I felt I had a blast of energy after the yoga session. I'm always thankful to your guiding voice in each practice. sending my warm hugs to you dear Adrienne.🥰🤍
Dear Adrienne, do you think you could release the videos ealier in the morning so we in europe can start our day with a sessio with you.that would be amazing.thank you for everything.
I just thought the same. I was all ready to do this before going out for the day and realised it isn't there until 10am. I might miss a day and do them 1 day behind so i can do them earlier.
When Adriene says "we're just waking up those muscles, but for now we're here" thats my entire energy. I did the 30 days last year and yoga in between then and now, but I'm finding that certain stretches/poses are difficult all over again. Have to start from where I am, and love my body through it. Very happy to be doing this journey with you all.
As Adrienne always says: "The hardest part is showing up"... and you're doing excatly that 🏆 I hope you will be able to MOVE with ease and grace and pleasure. Sending you greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark ☀️
One of my favorite parts of YWA is reading through the comments after practice. It's so nice seeing how much support is here, despite personal struggles. Keeping going, y'all! 💛
For those of you who are struggling: There’s some great warm up videos for the wrists and shoulders. It isn’t uncommon for newbies to get really sore wrists and shoulders. How do I know? because that was me 2 years ago! I still do 2 to 5 minutes of wrist and shoulder warm ups beforehand. Yoga Tx has a great warm up video! I am dealing with a hip injury and have done research to see what to do and what avoid and how to modify. If something hurts, don’t do it. You can hurt yourself. Instead, remember the name of the pose and research it. You may just need some tips or it may not be right for you. Modify and listen to your body and breathe, that’s how you will get the most out of your practice. You can do it!
My cat crawled on my chest when we lay down and stuck it through to the end, despite half falling off with every bicycle. Thank you for guidance today Adrienne! 💕
What a sweet kitty. I found the bicycle to be the most challenging, as well. Plank pose is getting easier after 2 weeks of regular 10-20 minute practice. My arms and wrists are gaining strength and it feels so empowering!
Mine chose to lie under me while I was doing downward dog, and I wanted to warn him that that definitely wasn't a safe place to be, given how likely I was to collapse at any moment 😆
This is such a minor thing but I absolutely love that in the still moments your microphone picks up your heartbeat. I’ve always found that sound to be incredibly soothing and helps me to find my stillness in my movements.💕
And I realized this year that the YWA theme music on the channel begins with a thump-thump heart sound...just like when her mic picks up her beating heart
@@lina987 it will not be in the music for this 30 day journey, but it is in the "day to day" yoga videos on her channel- her "yoga with Adriene" videos (there are hundreds!)
I'm lying here in corpse pose thinking about your question, "what does it feel like to be alive today in your body?" and it made me think of a story. A couple of years ago I was doing yoga with a friend who I recently introduced to Adriene's videos. We were doing a series of standing poses that required us to lift our arms above our head and I noticed him looking at me weird. After the practice he asked me why I didn't raise my arms completely over my head. How strange, wasn't that what I was doing? Apparently not. After showing me what I looked like in a mirror, my arms were nowhere near vertical. Now, I always had shoulder and upper back issues, but I thought I was improving. It felt like I was improving. I could have sworn my arms were over my head, so I never bothered to take the time and look. That was a big "aha" moment for me. Sometimes what you feel isn't always real. I think I became so familiar with the routine that I was turning on autopilot and no longer listening to what my body was telling me, and this disconnect between my mind and my body was making it very difficult to feel alive in it. So that's my challenge for everyone today. Be open to approaching each pose from a new perspective. You'll be shocked how much you still have to learn, even from something as simple as shavasana. This is another lesson I like to carry off the mat. The biggest disservice we can do to ourselves is assume we know everything.
It's funny you should say that because it resonates with something in my mind: I'm _completely_ new to this yoga business, as of yesterday, and I was wondering what I'd see if I recorded myself. I don't have a mirror nearby, and I found it surprisingly hard to tell if my body matched Adriene's or not. I feel like I was in that "downward dog" pose reasonably well, but it's entirely possible I was getting it completely wrong. I guess that's one of the advantages of real-life sessions!
I practiced Day I for four days and then rested on the fifth day. Now I am here for Day II, which I will practice for another four days. My journey and intent isn’t a sprint to Day 30, but to gradually incorporate Yoga into the very fibre of my fitness regiment. Namaste to all of you 🙏
I'll openly admit that I struggled a bit with this one after months of inactivity, but I kept going! I was happy to notice that I had no pain during the forward fold, which was such a huge relief! I can't wait for tomorrow!
Anyone of the ‘next-day’ group here? I just finished this session. It feels goooood. Adriene guides us into stepping up our game gradually. So, Have fun 😊🍀🙏🏻
Day 2 … oh how my body shook, argued and finally released 🙌. Who knew that seemingly simple stretches could break me out in a full on sweat. I have a whole new respect for yoga and it’s practicers🙏.
To those of you, like me that are on a different time zone as Adriene, last year I just joined in a day later. Surely we will still be connecting with hundreds of people in the same situation and Adriene, or whoever is in charge won't need to wake up in the middle of the night to release the video. 😊
I lost a lot a physical strength last year. As someone who struggles with anorexia, anemia, and a low tolerance for heat in this Aotearoa summer, it's been such a challenge! But I sooo want to regain that strength and return to the yoga that I love. I know it's a challenge but with you cheering me on Adriene, I feel supported. Thank you
You can do it!!! I believe you can. I'm overcoming my health issues, and now I believe everyone can. Keep practicing, inform yourself as much as you can about health. Personally, I used UA-cam to learn about functional medicine and nutrition, and even the mind, and went from there. Your body is amazing, and every second it's making it's best effort to ensure your survival. Support it and you will see amazing things. Best wishes!
You got this!! I was just reflecting on how I started 100 days of yoga on 11/4/21, with the intention to heal my knee. Today my knee feels better, I have more strength in my body, mind and even my sound healing practice has transformed! I can't wait to see where this journey takes you! 😌 💯🤝🏽🕉🙏🏽💝🎉🎉🎉❤
Who else is here, repeating the Move series? So excellent the first time, and I feel like I’m hearing it all anew this time too. A real testament to Adriene’s superb teaching and planning! 🏵❤️🏵
Hi! I would also like if the practice would be released earlier so that I have time to do it before work. Please consider so it fits to everyone’s calendar better. 🧘♀️
i usually get discouraged when I struggle to hold a position but I am trying to grow to accept my struggle. Thank you for another great day! Looking forward to tomorrow with you and Benji
I am a very healthy 55 year old male with no pre existing conditions and I go to the gym daily. In December I came down with covid and it developed into pneumonia. I spent a week in the hospital and I am home now. Adrienne has been a gift of my healing journey. I am so grateful for this series. Adrienne you have challenged me but at the same time it feels so connected to spirit, which is what I need. From the bottom of my heart, thank you (and Benji) for your skill and your truth.
I cannot wait for day 2! Could you please consider uploading earlier? I would like to do the practice before work. I live in Europe and there is a time difference. I am already in my yoga gear, but just found out I have to wait a couple of hours. For me it would be easier to show up early in the morning. Thank you for this 30 days!
I did this one back when it was first running - I wasn't aware of how much nostalgia I'd get from the music playing at the end. The core workout at the end really really woke me up. Day 533 of the current run.
"I am strong" breathe "I am strong" breathe. this got me through this session today. I Imagine we all have that voice telling us to quit when the work gets hard and we are quaking but just that gentle reminder helped me power through and I couldn't be more grateful; for the practice and the reminder that you CAN change the way you think about things. See you tomorrow!
Thank you to the 13,579 incredible souls who just did yoga with me right now 💜 And to the person who taught me to refresh the page to see how many had been on with me too 💜 Namaste
After the practice, I love to check out the comments and find strength in the community: people who has arthritis like me and powering through, people who hadn't done this in a while and found themselves shaking through the shapes... I'm surprised by the amount of people complaining about the time- it's almost all I can see when I check the comments. It honestly brings me down and I know I'm not the only one. Where I am right now, the video goes live at 5pm, and some other places, even more "inconvenient" times. Adrienne gives this annually for free and later on-demand, maybe it's our turn to give grace to her and others. Please remember that convenience is a privilege. If it's too late for you, please consider doing the practice the day after in a time that suits you best.
omg I'm crying reading these comment. I could just be emotional but this is just so powerful to me. Thank you sooo so much Adriene! You got me into yoga about 2 years ago, and I've fell off of my consistent practice for a while now, but I was so excited to start another 30 day journey w you all!! Getting back into it just these past 2 days has literally shifted my mindset and gave me a little push to start getting out of this funk. You always make me realize how much I love and need yoga. Love you guys, thank you for being you💜✨
The same for me too Kayy, not practiced since August due to much work stress & currently off work as my post after 18years is being deleted & options to continue working there are not really options so looking at redundancy. I started to feel really stiff and oh my goodness am I but I knew that this programne will be the best thing to do to get me feeling physically free & mentally light & feeling excited about new opportunities & to feel me again 💜 Thankyou Adrienne & just keep turning up everyone, my first 30days turned into over a year of praticing, enjoy x
had a lovely moment on the mat at the very end of the practice. we're getting our first real cold snap of the winter here today and had a few flurries of snow with more expected overnight. when lying there with open palms i imagined the sky overhead and all the snow drifting down onto me, and felt very connected to the world and happy to be in it and alive. "open" is my word of the year for 2022 so i was hoping this practice would be a special one and it definitely was!
This session really opened everything up around my chest and shoulders, I didn't realise how stiff and tensed up I was!😆 Also Benji and his long gaze out the window melted my heart 🥰
This past year has been rough with healing from a mental breakdown, understanding new diagnoses, etc... Let's just say my bed and I are good friends 😂 Day 1 reminded me that "I am here"...not where I have been, but "here" and "now". Yesterday I did Day 2...my depression was heavy, but I decided I would sit on the mat and watch the video if that is all I could manage. I did about 10%, but it felt good that I had kept my commitment. I opened my mind to accept my limitations and do what I could. I will do Day 3 some time today, even if I can't do it fully. 😊 Thank you for being "real", Adriene 😊
Taking the time out to roll out your mat and watch the video, even when your body and brain can't handle following along is a wonderful idea. Do what you can, make modifications when needed. Yoga is supposed to feel good. My heart is with you, my friend. I hope you're still practicing!!
I'm in a similar situation where I'm handling multiple diagnosis's including depression. I felt like giving up half way through the video but I remembered what you said in your comment and it helped me push through until the end! You are so strong for accepting your limitations and listening to what your body is telling you, I wish you the best of luck in your healing journey and thank you for being a small but significant part of mine!
Wow, bicycles on day 2 - Adriene is not kidding around this year 😂 thank you for getting us moving (although I am dreading the hipdips that I assume are coming soon...) 😄❤️ (Also hit refresh after I finished and realised I had practised together with 13,000 others - how amazing is that!) Namaste all! 🙏🙌
The vibe this year is very new and refreshing. I am so glad I joined for this challenge again. Adriene & Co, you guys are saints for bringing us this transformative 30 day practice year after year for FREE! Endless gratitude.
ATTRACT🌟 - August 2024 I attract all the good and divine that is coming my way and constantly surrounding me by remaining open and clear in the heart, mind, body and soul. I feel spiritually uplifted especially considering the fact that in a very metaphorical manner as I opened my eyes at the closure of todays outside practice I saw how all of the clouds had parted to reveal a brilliant blue evening sky. The serenity and stillness of the blue ceiling is reflective of how my mind is feeling now post-yoga and the state I need to remain in and return to in order to receive all of the gifts that the universe is constantly bestowing on me. Optimistic is another way to describe this heightened and enlightened spiritual state i find myself in as I step towards my highest most divine form. Namaste yogi friends🙏. I hope all of the divinity that you deserve comes to you✨💓 xx
Day 2, Open. To open the heart and the mind. This practice was so…empowering. I could feel myself shake, but for the first time in a long time, I accepted it and this practice provided a chance to do just that. From every breath to every step, I felt a little more supported. Life nowadays is so fast paced but then, all of a sudden slows down and it’s so hard to know what to leave and what to do next. Yoga just offers that time to take a break and be present in the moment. Thank you…Adriene for this beautiful practice and to Benji for decorating a smile on our faces today
As I suffer from depression mornings are hard, therefore my challenge for January is to come to the mat when this is released. So today, instead of fluffing around slowly inside my head and house, I am letting out little roars moving towards that fire in my body, and a loud OMGGGGG! when I'm done. Its so much better to be in sweet guided movement at this time. Thank you Adriene and all fellow brave yogis : D
I know what depression feels like, it can be really hard, but Adriene's videos really do help with that! So great you are on this journey too, I wish you all the best
Here after Flow for 2024. This is one I missed but I think it was for the best. Great timing to have a challenge for February :) Thank you Adriene, and all practicing.
I'm with you three, Molly, Elizabeth and Sophie, but I'm a day behind, lol. Will be doing day two on Saturday! Maybe I'll catch up at some point. Let's stick with it!
Me 4 😂. Also a day behind, but I"ll try to end this in feb. I missed this on in 2022 because I was ill with a heart problem. So is really nice to be able to do this one now after Flow.
Also here post 2024s Flow but took a few days to do other (shorter) sessions. Missing the real time community aspect and happy to see these comments 🤍🧘🏻♀️
Attract day 14🎉 thank you, Adriene, for todays practice, it was another special practice for me with my old girl 🐶 although she didn't stay for the whole practice, I think she knew how it was going to end 🥵🤣. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
I am a Canadian who is spending three months in the U.K…. We would love it if the videos could be posted earlier!! I feel the pain all your followers from Europe and afar feel. Love your yoga and love you Adriene!!
Greetings any bedtime yogis out there. We'll take the energy from the day and carry it forward. Day 2 done, and man, did that move some energy! In ways I didn't know I needed. See everyone tomorrow.
Thank you for bringing attention to Benji with his head on the windowsill. Benji has always reminded me of our sweet blue heeler, Bailey. She would always sit just like that looking out the window. We lost Bailey last year and it was a sweet reminder to see Benji doing that same thing. ❤️
I feel for you, Emily. I lost my black lab mix almost three years ago, loved her so much and will miss her forever. She was my first dog, but I know she won't be the last. Dogs just do this, and we their humans can't help it but melt over them doing so 🥰
So good, thank you so much. It doesn't matter that it's released later here, I'm just grateful for your time and giving this to us. And Benji is lovely!
Everyone who wants the videos uploaded earlier there’s a link in the video description where you can download a few at a time for a Pay What Feels Good fee or you can use the Find What Feels Good app (which I use as I am in the UK) and that uploads them 12hrs earlier than UA-cam! Happy Yoga-ing! (PS Adriene pls pin so this comment doesn’t get lost! 🙏🏽)
I tried to do day 2, but I’m so depressed and stressed I started crying and turned it off. I couldn’t even get through a yoga session. 😔 Im posting this because I’m sure there are people who feel how I do today. I just want you to know you’re not alone in how you feel. And it’s ok to feel they way you’re feeling. I’m going to try Day 2 again, tomorrow. ♥️
Good job even turning it on! It's taken me several tries to do this video and today I completed it with a lot of floor modifications. It's better to do a little than nothing and you already accomplished that by trying today and promising yourself you'll try tomorrow. Good job!
I've been there. It gets better. Trust me! Getting through the yoga session could help to get your thoughts sorted out. I hope you stick to it! Best of luck!
It's okay, take your time and take it easy but take it. I've went through depression and now in a post depression i still find it hard to even begin doing it. But i can confirm you that it makes your journey through these rought times so much more calming
I'm going through a hard time as well and I've gotta say that even though it might feel tough, you've gotta try and listen to your body and take it slow. I really struggle with downward dog for example and I look like a bowl when doing it 😅 but I try not to get discouraged and not force it too much.. also try to take it day by day and not look at the finish line 😊😊
I'm so ready for day 2! Adriene, could you consider uploading a bit earlier please? I like to do my routine before starting to work and it would be amazing to continue my routine with this challenge. Thank you so much for considering it :)
I do a different challenge during the day because I’am in australia so the video becomes available at 9pm here, but I still do the live move video with Adriene because two yoga sessions a day is a great feeling (if we have the time) xxx hope everyone has a lovely practise
If you go in the description for the video, there is an option to download the series a couple days in advance. They are “Pay-what-feels-good” which I think we all should support her in some way for this amazing yearly service! I hear the FWFG Membership releases the videos earlier as well. 🙏💕 Namaste and so happy to be on this journey w y’all! 😌🌱
Hi Adriene, thank you so much for your time and loving practise. I recognise you can,t fit in with everyone’s time zones and I am grateful that I can access your videos at my own time, even if I do it a day later so I can do it before work. I hope your voice recovers soon. And thank you again 💗💕
At the point when Adrienne was talking about "burning warmth" near the end, I kind of felt like a burning worm 😂 The practice was really challenging but also rewarding. I finally managed to tap into lateral breath, and it felt awesome!
I‘m just gonna leave a comment as well because I love reading about everyone‘s experiences doing this year‘s challenge! My new years resolution for 2022 is a little bit more discipline in everything I do. I really feel like this yoga journey helps a lot with that. Showing up on the mat and not quitting half way through the practice because it gets hard requires lots of discipline for me. I loved practicing in the morning during the last years but because the videos are uploaded later now (11am in Germany) I already had breakfast, read my book (which I usually don‘t find the time for) and got some work done. Never imagined I could be this productive, lol. (Not saying productivity is all that matters!! But it simply feels good for me right now.) I wish everyone a great journey, can‘t wait to keep reading all of your comments. Doing this together really motivates me! And last but most importantly: Thank you so much Adriene!
Thank you for sharing Cara! Wish you a great journey as well and good luck with your new years resolution 🥰 I'll definitely take you up on that, I also need more discipline in things I do. Thank you for encouraging me :)

July 26th, Day 2 in the books! I was really able to be in the moment today and it felt sooo good!
I've never had the opportunity to do these practices live before since for me they began in the night! Now they begin at 5 a.m., and I can participate right away! What a joy! Thank you for this opportunity and for sharing these videos with us at no cost! Yesterday I didn't know that they went live at 5. I thought they just posted at that time, so I was about 25 minutes late! Today --- Yay! Right there!
You can do the video whenever you want Sherry! People around the world are doing it at all different times so chances are, you'll still be doing it with someone! :)
@@yogawithadriene It was just cool to do it when it first comes on. I still haven't figured out how people are commenting while they are doing yoga, ha ha! My thinking on this was when I saw so many people wanting to change the time to make it earlier was that it doesn't matter. I have been doing these yearly month-long Yoga with Adriene events every January for years. Today is the first time I did it right when it posted. It was kind of cool! I actually don't consider whether anyone is doing yoga with me. Even in the pre-pandemic times when I went to an inexpensive (like $3 per session) studio, my eyes are usually closed, and the other people disappear.
Just have to admire Adriene's descriptions of these positions and transitions. I often feel like I can follow along with just the audio. She's a wonderful speaker and instructor.
Decided I’d like to leave comments of gratitude after I finish each lesson. Thank you Adriene for so lovingly sharing your practice. This has been a beautiful start to my health journey and I’m so thankful for these videos you make.
Thank you, Adrienne! And whatever you might have said a million times, some of us haven’t heard that often yet, so it’s always good if you repeat something. Thank you thank you thank you.
Hi Adrienne - so happy to be joining you again this year - I agree it would be so helpful if the release time could be earlier - by maybe 3 hours? Then people in the UK could start their day with their practice before work - thank you and Namaste 🙏
Dear Adrienne and Benji ! You are My daily LIGHT , the two of you . I started 2 months ago and it is a marvel to realize what you are giving me, my body and my life ! Thank you endlessly from Sweden
Repeating “I am strong” really got me through the planks today. I feel so relaxed yet empowered because I was able to do more today than I was yesterday. While it may not have always looked great, I feel great
Thank you Adrienne for this much needed challenge to begin this year the right way 🥰 The videos will always be out ar the same time? I am living in France and the video is available at 11 a.m… I am used to do my yoga as soon as I wake up at 7am before work. I may let pass a day to do it the following morning. I am so excited for this, thank you ✨
I have the same « problem », I am from Belgium, I am afraid that after 11AM I won’t show up at the end of the day rather this morning when I have a little time … your idea to skip a day to be able to follow up the next morning sounds a great idea ! ☺️ wish you a great day !
Thanks so much for this tip Indra! I’m in the UK and am having the same issue too. Considering Universal Time is +0 (UK time) and it comes out at 10am in the UK, there can’t be that many places where it comes out in the morning. I love the videos but would really appreciate them being released a bit earlier 🥰
Thank you Adriene for making the pandemic bearable. Yoga heals my body and soul after a long practice at the gym. i hope you know how helpful you are for people like me. Thank you Adriene.
Hi fellow Europeans, just collectively practice at 7/8ish the next morning. Let's not push for another upload time, I am sure there is many reasons for them choosing this particular schedule. We need to consider the fact that there is folks all around the world trying to practice. Given the fact they uploaded the former series earlier, the new delay might be due to some fairness regarding other places in the world.
Finally someone with some sense! The world is not Europe alone, thus not only European needs should be the only ones that matter. Thank you fellow yogi 💖
Personally I am in Europe and I follow the videos at night, since that fits my schedule better. As long as we show up, I don't see the problem in not doing it live!
It feels like I'm uncovering my brain 🧠 from the patterns and thoughts I hold onto. Yoga, and your kind and loving approach, has helped me heal myself. I have practiced since 2015 with you and have grown so much since then. Thank you, Adriene Mishler.
I'm from Australia and I think the sessions are perfect; it's 9pm here when they air, and it's the way I wind down before bed. Really love that they're on at this time, thank you so much!

Love reading all the comments from Australia. I used to do the same when I was an aupair over there in 2018/19. *nostalgic feelings arise* Good night to you!
I’m thankful to be here today and feeling my body works and struggle but push through gives me the confidence and hope for a strong healthy and aligned body
I am 71 today. By showing up to this class as frequently as possible I remain ageless in my mind. Thank you Adrienne for making me feel strong and good. I love you classes!
Day 2 is upon us! What does it feel like to be alive in your body today?
Challenging but grateful to be here and now. Love you Adriene, thanks for everything ❤️
Wonderful
Day 2 was awesome, thank you! It feels MAGICAL to be alive today, aware and open to all of the possibilities out there for us to embrace! Beautiful existence, grateful and excited! Namaste, Peace & Awesomeness ~
Feels great, even this early! 😉 Thank you for sharing with us Adriene!
Feels really good. I am trying to indulge
Whoever is here just a little late but definitely still wants to stick with the challenge: I'm here with you. You got this
me and thx, you go too!! : )
@@sparra3819 me too! i am always late lol
I appreciate this. I found this to be very difficult. I may never be good at this 😓
Same here sista! ❤No need for hate over being late. 😀
@@JG-qp9dl I can feel you, but Adriene and this community is here to pick you up when you feel like you can´t do this. You can and i believe in you. As Adriene always says it`s all ready enough that you come to the mat. You are never alone with those feelings and i hope you all the best
I love these 30 day challenges! I am in Scotland…these are for the world. So for those asking for a change of timings to fit their personal time zone, just start the programme one day late! The videos are available and free. This is for the world!
Yep... for the world 🌎❤‼💯🙏🏽 Thank you!
💜This is for the world!💜🏯⛺🏡🗻🌇🌅💖
Thank you Susan! And we're so glad to have you here!
Yup today is 3 Jan in Singapore and I'm following the video for day 2 at 930pm. I can also choose to do this practice again say tmr morning. And then day 3 practice on the morning of Jan 5. Just adjust my timing a bit to fit. V appreciative for the videos' availability 🥰
Yes, these 30 day challenges are wonderful!
Here for April 2024, love moving through the past yoga journeys start-to-end
Sameeee. Me too
Samee :)
Same only a few days late
2020 was a hard year for me. My wife passed , I have a toddler so I’m a single parent in my 20s and I had an injury which stopped my boxing career. 2021 I just comfort ate and put all my waking hours into my kid. I haven’t slept and This year 2022 I decided to start getting back to Me. So I take this time and follow your lessons and hopefully can get physically and mentally fit again
Thankyou
Edit - Wow thanks so much for the messages I really really appreciate it. All love
lots of love and best wishes to you for a sweet new year!
Best of luck and may you and your kid always be safe!
sending love
You can do it!
Good luck, you'll do it, just go with the mantra,"I am strong". I never thought I was, but turns out I'm wrong💚🙏🏻
As Adriene suggested in one of her emails, I shared the fact that I would be doing a daily yoga practice in January with my family. It turned out to be very helpful today! I woke up later than usual, which altered my whole schedule for the day, I was already thinking I would have to do this 30 minute practice tomorrow! But my grandma encouraged me and helped me find a moment for it. Grandmas are the best 💘 I'm grateful for these peaceful minutes, for the heat and the struggle. Today I felt I was pushing myself while still listening to my body. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did, and that you have a lovely day. Namaste.
I love this 💜 idk why but I teared up reading this
I was coerced into joining by my family in the first place. 🤪 I think we've got half a dozen onboard.
Grandmas ARE the best!
I mentioned to a few people that I'm doing 30 days of yoga ... one friend remembered that I used to go to yoga classes frequently, and reminded me how much I enjoyed it. Very true! I am grateful for the support as well - to read your stories and share mine.
For me it's my boyfriend pushing me to do it :p
I am doing Move again in March 2024. When Adriene mentioned doing the video with others, I was curious to see how many did it at the same time. I checked the numbers and there were seven of us. Select community. 😂
Hey, just caught up🙋🏻🇨🇭
I just finished Flow and I was looking for another 30 days challenge to complete, happy to know I am not alone going through this journey 😄
I'm also here with you, guys:) Just a little late;)
I’m here too
Me tooo 🎉😊
Don't know why but when you said, "notice what it feels like to be alive today" it really hit me at the end. When we practice and it's challenging, there's a bit of heat and our hearts are beating a little faster; it's really great to be aware and feel that we are alive. Make the most of each day! Good morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are, wishing you all the best and sending lots of love. Thanks again Adriene! Namaste ❤
Yes, that bit got me too!
And Benji with his head on the window ledge!🖤
So true!
It's the most beautiful awareness, to be embodied in the present and know that you're here, and be grateful.
@@SteventheThorn yes!
@@SteventheThorn I completely agree, it’s like a reset!
What I really like about this series already is it doesn't feel like working out. Yes, it's physically quite challenging, but instead of my brain cursing me out the whole time I feel calm. Instead of fighting myself, I am working with myself. I can already feel my balance getting better through taking big breaths and anchoring my body to the ground. I am excited to come back tomorrow!
This is exactly what I thought today! I don't dread coming to the mat even though I'll have to do hard things. That is the magic of Yoga with Adriene!
You echo my thoughts entirely!
I feel the same way too!
You articulated what I could not. I have always struggled going to the gym, but this feels so much different and yet somehow I can still feel and see myself getting stronger
Exactly! My heels can never touch the ground in downward dog so I kinda start shaking and sometimes I have to go back to tabletop but I never beat myself up for it, even for some of the core stuff where it was really starting to burn it feels good to slowly work on those muscles
I am not sure who will read this. But if you came here today despite having the worst time of your life. I’m proud of you. I lost all my money to a person I trusted and have been crying all day, but I came to the mat and finished the session right before midnight. And I want you to know that you are worthy of everything amazing and you can get through anything. Sending lots of love.
You are amazing, strong, and beautiful. I’m so sorry for what you’re experiencing but you’re resilient and so strong for not letting it stop you. Be kind to yourself, one day at a time. Namaste 🙏 ❤
Here here! I completely agree! My best friend of 10+ years recently ghosted me, and it finally hit me last night. But I still showed up and am so glad I did. Let's continue being strong together! 💙💙💙
She's a wonderful speaker and instructor.
The power of her words is amazing.
I close my eyes as soon as she starts talking and let her guide me
Good earning
Hum
I love that theres no background music. Just her soothing voice. Its perfect!
I've discovered today why I don't like to exercise. When my heart started racing as the poses got more intense, it felt the same as when my heart beats in my chest and throat when my anxiety kicks in. With Adriene's guidance I pushed through those negative thoughts and feelings. It's only day 2 and I'm already feeling better and noticing progress.
I'm the same way! especially when we unfold and relax, the feeling of my heart pounding between my chest and the floor immediately makes my mind race. But I think that getting used to that feeling and associating it with exercise, something that makes me feel good and connected with myself, will help battle that feeling out. Definitely glad for Adriene's guidance in those moments ☺️
I've struggled with this for years! You are not alone. Just keep breathing, deeply, and rest when you need to. Over time, you'll realize you're ok, your heart will calm, and you'll be able not only to enjoy yoga but also push through terribly anxious moments when they pop up off the mat in life!
It's ok to take a moment and have some water when you need to as well
i've experienced a fear of exercise since i developed hypochondria after a girl i knew died of a heart attack a couple years ago when we were just 18. it instilled this horrifying cardiophobia and exercising made me feel like i was going to die. it's such a scary feeling and it's hard to explain to someone...("well if you are scared of heart attacks/racing heart/etc, you should exercise MORE to make sure your cardiovascular system is strong!" ugh. i hated being told that.) some people just dont get it. but some do! and a lot of us here do! youre not alone. i remember one video of adriene's where my heart was picking up and i was going to stop, and she said something along the lines of "just see what happens if you surrender" and i remember thinking...wow... maybe i should just trust myself and let whatever happens happen. it was a small moment but it really hit me. sometimes we just need to surrender, if only for a moment. you can let yourself feel uncomfortable and scared after, but just see what happens if you let every part of you surrender for that tiny moment. sending love, from a fellow anxiety ridden exercise-phobe. x
i feel this!
Several years ago, I was so strong & proficient in yoga in even the most challenging poses. Since then my health has declined and fitness has not been possible for me for years. I am now hitting the mat again but carrying so much self-judgment. I can not even do half of these poses and I spend most of my time in child's pose, recovering from what little I can do. Right when I am feeling so discouraged, you tell me to whisper that I am strong. Thank you, Adriene... A million times thank you for helping my mind come back to the mat now that my body finally can.
💜💜💜
you are strong and none of our journeys are a straight line. take care ♥️
The fact you’re showing up when you’ve had ill health is amazing! Be kind to yourself, and as Adriene always says, just find what feels good! :)
this brought me to tears. thank you for sharing. you ARE strong. ❤️
Heartfelt comment. My thoughts are with you. XO
Thank you for this practice, Adriene.
I lost my Dad three weeks ago. With your practices yesterday and today I noticed how much my body literally and unconciously has collapsed into itself to ward off the hurt, the anger, the loss. Crouching the lower back, not lifting the pelvic floor. Things that came naturally to me before, are now weak. I'm trembling. I have to stop poses I had no trouble holding before. I will show up every day, hoping my body will find its way back to itself. Thank you.
Im sorry for your loss Anne. You are brave to share this, and I bet your Dad would be so proud of you right now . I am sure you will find your way back to your body. Stick with it!
I am so sorry for your loss! It is so hard to lose a parent. Well done you for showing up, yoga really helped me through a tough time when my mum died. Take care of yourself
So sorry for your loss, Anne. Lost my dad this past summer. Please be patient with your body and mind. I know it's frustrating when your body feels weak. But grief can be a lot. I'm having trouble with certain poses too, and working out in general, because of the grief. It will take time.
@@lara854 i will be patient! This month of yoga won't fix everything, but hopefully it will be a stepping stone to return back to my inner self.
I am very sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
Anyone else doing this in March? :D It's good to be back even though I feel a little rusty after a long break from exercising. Thank you, Adriene! I love the 30-day programs!
Hi Ttattyiana, yup, started March 3! I'm coming out of health crisis for my daughter. Trying to get back to taking care of the caregiviner. See you on the mat!
So, so rusty and sore rn but glad to be here and grateful for this channel and the lovely ppl on it.
I started yesterday lol day 2 was definitely a struggle for me after not doing yoga for 7 years 😩 but I’m so happy I’m committed and showed up. I lost my gma last year and we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of her passing. Among depression and stress, I decided I have to show up for me. My gma would have wanted that
I did Breath x 2 (Jan and Feb). Completed Day 2 Move today!
starting today!:)
Day 2, I’m still shaking and trembling in what seems to be “easy” positions. My wrists can’t go under my shoulders cuz I damaged them landscaping. I’ve cried during both practices, yet I’m still here. That, for me is a win. I will make it to the end, no matter how many downward dogs I have to sit out 😅
Yes yes yes!!!! Glad you’re here.
I feel this so much. 4 broken arms and weak wrists. It hurts. And I cry so much.
I do downward dogs on fists for the same reason, maybe that'll help you. Thought I was the only one who suffered wrist issues as a yogi
Try doing the downward dogs on your forearms! (I think that's called dolphin pose)
You are not alone! My right wrist doesn't bend normally either, but I do what I can. The fact that I am able to do anything at all on it is a miracle. And each day, I find I can do a little more. So grateful.
I did it! Yay! I wasn't sure I'd make it today, but I tried and I did it. Today I have terrible period pain, but I wasn't going to let that stop me, from meeting you, & sweet Benji on the mat, for some awesome yoga today. My Discovery that I've made, in this practice today, is my breath. Seeing how important the breath really is to life, and to yoga, and how much it helps with pain. The more I was breathing deep, the less pain I was experiencing, it was awesome. Thank you so much Adriene, I love my yoga practices with you, and Benji. See you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡🧘♀️🐶
Always good to MOVE together. One of my favorite 30 day journeys. Aug 2024 still here moving. Love to all.
My 73 year old body was super happy to revisit this wonderful practice!🧘🏻♀️🤗🤗
A person is never lonely if there's someone in the world who treats them with sensitivity and care! It's so important for our hearts to be wrapped in warming rays of kindness! With joy, inexpressible deep gratitude and a warm feeling in my heart I say 'Thank YOU' for your sincere attention, Adriene! And indeed, the breath always comes first! I'm deeply grateful to you! May everything in your life create a happy, precious pattern! Thank you sooo much, Adriene & Benji 🙏🏼❤️🐾
I'm so grateful to be part of this journey as well! May we keep supporting each other throughout this challenge ❤
Well said. Thanks for your comment. I wish you all the best, in the new year and beyond.
@@amberflower6667 that's for sure, Amber! may we continue to support each other in this magical challenge! take good care! btw, great profile picture, hehe! ✨
@@estebanb7166 no, thank YOU, Esteban! thank you for your insanely kind wishes, it means a lot, and I wish you the same! take good care! :)
So true
Wow, I could feel the heat building up inside my body. Thanks very much, Adriene. You're awesome. I love this practice. ❤❤ Namaste.
It is hard to believe it has been two years since MOVE has released, and I started doing yoga again! and now I am doing the move series again in July 2024!! Thank you Adriene for all of these!!
Such a sweet nostalgic feeling as I discovered Yoga with Adrienne from MOVE ❤ thank you 🙏
Yoga with Adriene was my first ever yoga experience about 6 years ago now (Can't believe its that long ago now) I'm about 5 days 'late' to this 30 day journey as my day 2 was today but determined to do it all! I may not go through it in 31 consecutive days but finish it I will! while being kind to myself all through it but tough when I need that push. To all the 'late' comers! lets do this and do it at our own pace:)
I even like that I am late on the train. but I still continue and I will do all 31 days! I think it teaches you to be gentle with yourself. Being late is also a gift :)
Joined late too, day 2 complete.
Late? Or right on our time? I am also joining past the start date....yet it feel so empowering to show up and choose me..choose us choose this community...Adriene has been part of yoga journey for the past 10 yrs...and beautifully unfolded this yoga path that I am now forever connected to...
omgme too ijust know her for about 6 or 7 years from the 30 days yoga challenge
Sometimes i do 2 videos to "catch up." Fun, and feels so good.
Yesterday I really struggled on day 1 and reached out to the community for support. I was comforted with kind words, love and encouragement. Today I showed up, I completed day 2 and it was like I could feel the strength of those words holding me in pose and trying that bit harder. I feel stronger already. Thank you for helping me to connect to the universe, something much bigger than just exercise 💜
Glad to hear you felt supported, hope that continues for you throughout your yoga journey!
Struggling is the best part because soon you will see improvement and it gets addictive!
Here I am doing Move after having completed Center. After those 30 days, I crave yoga now!
Same here! We got this 💪🙂
Hey me too ! Except a month later XD
Aww me too, I completed Center back in Jan and loved it!
Same!! I completed Center a couple of days ago! Is it just me or is this series a little harder?
Saaaame❤❤❤
Honestly, She's the most calming instructor. I really like the way you speak, it feels like you're with us in the same moment even if the video was released a year ago. Such a loving soul, thank you, Adrienne. Day 2🎉
I'm here again, and I couldn't agree with myself more! today was the first time in ages where I felt I had a blast of energy after the yoga session. I'm always thankful to your guiding voice in each practice. sending my warm hugs to you dear Adrienne.🥰🤍
Dear Adrienne, do you think you could release the videos ealier in the morning so we in europe can start our day with a sessio with you.that would be amazing.thank you for everything.
This please 🙏🏼
This!!! Would be awesome!
Please❤️
I just thought the same. I was all ready to do this before going out for the day and realised it isn't there until 10am. I might miss a day and do them 1 day behind so i can do them earlier.
Here here!
I start my day with yoga and it would be awesome to follow the same day as everyone else. ❤️
When Adriene says "we're just waking up those muscles, but for now we're here" thats my entire energy. I did the 30 days last year and yoga in between then and now, but I'm finding that certain stretches/poses are difficult all over again. Have to start from where I am, and love my body through it. Very happy to be doing this journey with you all.
me too!! Hope by the end to feel different and stronger!
So happy you're here!!
As Adrienne always says:
"The hardest part is showing up"...
and you're doing excatly that 🏆
I hope you will be able to MOVE with ease and grace and pleasure.
Sending you greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark ☀️
An incredible practice - pulling so many of the "magic" pieces together. Thank you Adriene, our community and Benji!
One of my favorite parts of YWA is reading through the comments after practice. It's so nice seeing how much support is here, despite personal struggles. Keeping going, y'all! 💛
For those of you who are struggling: There’s some great warm up videos for the wrists and shoulders. It isn’t uncommon for newbies to get really sore wrists and shoulders. How do I know? because that was me 2 years ago! I still do 2 to 5 minutes of wrist and shoulder warm ups beforehand. Yoga Tx has a great warm up video! I am dealing with a hip injury and have done research to see what to do and what avoid and how to modify. If something hurts, don’t do it. You can hurt yourself. Instead, remember the name of the pose and research it. You may just need some tips or it may not be right for you. Modify and listen to your body and breathe, that’s how you will get the most out of your practice. You can do it!
Thanks ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you & get well soon.xx
@@sagalsabrie2715 thank you so much!
Thank you that is really helpful
Thank you for this! My wrists definitely are very sore
My cat crawled on my chest when we lay down and stuck it through to the end, despite half falling off with every bicycle. Thank you for guidance today Adrienne! 💕
Your cat sounds amazing 😂❤️
What a sweet kitty. I found the bicycle to be the most challenging, as well. Plank pose is getting easier after 2 weeks of regular 10-20 minute practice. My arms and wrists are gaining strength and it feels so empowering!
Mine chose to lie under me while I was doing downward dog, and I wanted to warn him that that definitely wasn't a safe place to be, given how likely I was to collapse at any moment 😆
Haha that’s awesome. I wish my cat did yoga with me!
My cats say hello! :D
This is such a minor thing but I absolutely love that in the still moments your microphone picks up your heartbeat. I’ve always found that sound to be incredibly soothing and helps me to find my stillness in my movements.💕
And I realized this year that the YWA theme music on the channel begins with a thump-thump heart sound...just like when her mic picks up her beating heart
I’ve noticed that too and i absolutely adore it. We are humans connected by our beating hearts
Wow! Your ears are amazing. 🙂 I never heard that. Will try to hear it tomorrow at day 3 😇
@@lina987 it will not be in the music for this 30 day journey, but it is in the "day to day" yoga videos on her channel- her "yoga with Adriene" videos (there are hundreds!)
I'm lying here in corpse pose thinking about your question, "what does it feel like to be alive today in your body?" and it made me think of a story. A couple of years ago I was doing yoga with a friend who I recently introduced to Adriene's videos. We were doing a series of standing poses that required us to lift our arms above our head and I noticed him looking at me weird. After the practice he asked me why I didn't raise my arms completely over my head. How strange, wasn't that what I was doing? Apparently not. After showing me what I looked like in a mirror, my arms were nowhere near vertical. Now, I always had shoulder and upper back issues, but I thought I was improving. It felt like I was improving. I could have sworn my arms were over my head, so I never bothered to take the time and look. That was a big "aha" moment for me. Sometimes what you feel isn't always real. I think I became so familiar with the routine that I was turning on autopilot and no longer listening to what my body was telling me, and this disconnect between my mind and my body was making it very difficult to feel alive in it. So that's my challenge for everyone today. Be open to approaching each pose from a new perspective. You'll be shocked how much you still have to learn, even from something as simple as shavasana. This is another lesson I like to carry off the mat. The biggest disservice we can do to ourselves is assume we know everything.
It's funny you should say that because it resonates with something in my mind:
I'm _completely_ new to this yoga business, as of yesterday, and I was wondering what I'd see if I recorded myself. I don't have a mirror nearby, and I found it surprisingly hard to tell if my body matched Adriene's or not. I feel like I was in that "downward dog" pose reasonably well, but it's entirely possible I was getting it completely wrong. I guess that's one of the advantages of real-life sessions!
I practiced Day I for four days and then rested on the fifth day.
Now I am here for Day II, which I will practice for another four days. My journey and intent isn’t a sprint to Day 30, but to gradually incorporate Yoga into the very fibre of my fitness regiment. Namaste to all of you 🙏
I'll openly admit that I struggled a bit with this one after months of inactivity, but I kept going! I was happy to notice that I had no pain during the forward fold, which was such a huge relief! I can't wait for tomorrow!
Anyone of the ‘next-day’ group here? I just finished this session. It feels goooood. Adriene guides us into stepping up our game gradually. So, Have fun 😊🍀🙏🏻
What about people from the next-next day 😅🍀
Better late than never ! ;) Enjoy 🤗🐥
@@lauramols9788 Just started mine today lol
@@sagalsabrie2715 That’s wonderfull! How did you like ‘today’s’ flow? Have a great day! 🍀 See you later in the challenge 👋
@@lauramols9788 Amazing 🙌🏽 thanks for asking. Laters. X
Day 2 … oh how my body shook, argued and finally released 🙌. Who knew that seemingly simple stretches could break me out in a full on sweat. I have a whole new respect for yoga and it’s practicers🙏.
To those of you, like me that are on a different time zone as Adriene, last year I just joined in a day later. Surely we will still be connecting with hundreds of people in the same situation and Adriene, or whoever is in charge won't need to wake up in the middle of the night to release the video. 😊
Thank you for posting this!!! 100% agree. Enjoy your yoga practice!!
Agree ❤ I'm going to do day 2 again tomorrow and then do daily at my normal 6.30ish ❤🥰
Videos are usually scheduled to go live at a certain time, nobody needs to get up
@@marinar1380 Oh! I wasn't aware of that. 🥰
@@SewintoSports Thank you! You too.
I lost a lot a physical strength last year. As someone who struggles with anorexia, anemia, and a low tolerance for heat in this Aotearoa summer, it's been such a challenge! But I sooo want to regain that strength and return to the yoga that I love. I know it's a challenge but with you cheering me on Adriene, I feel supported. Thank you
🤗🤗
I’m right there with you Audrey. Let’s hang in there until we succeed.
You can do it!!! I believe you can. I'm overcoming my health issues, and now I believe everyone can. Keep practicing, inform yourself as much as you can about health. Personally, I used UA-cam to learn about functional medicine and nutrition, and even the mind, and went from there. Your body is amazing, and every second it's making it's best effort to ensure your survival. Support it and you will see amazing things. Best wishes!
Kia Kaha. You got this
You got this!! I was just reflecting on how I started 100 days of yoga on 11/4/21, with the intention to heal my knee. Today my knee feels better, I have more strength in my body, mind and even my sound healing practice has transformed! I can't wait to see where this journey takes you! 😌 💯🤝🏽🕉🙏🏽💝🎉🎉🎉❤
Who else is here, repeating the Move series? So excellent the first time, and I feel like I’m hearing it all anew this time too. A real testament to Adriene’s superb teaching and planning! 🏵❤️🏵
Hi! I would also like if the practice would be released earlier so that I have time to do it before work. Please consider so it fits to everyone’s calendar better. 🧘♀️
I feel ya
I was actually going to comment something similar, would be great if I could come out 2/3 hours earlier so I can do it before work!
Totally agree
Yes, I agree. Fantastic classes, but I practice in the mornings and 10am uk time is too late for me on weekdays.
I agree, 10am UK time is late but it may be early in the US?
i usually get discouraged when I struggle to hold a position but I am trying to grow to accept my struggle. Thank you for another great day! Looking forward to tomorrow with you and Benji
We've got this together, Autumn! 🥰
I am a very healthy 55 year old male with no pre existing conditions and I go to the gym daily. In December I came down with covid and it developed into pneumonia. I spent a week in the hospital and I am home now. Adrienne has been a gift of my healing journey. I am so grateful for this series. Adrienne you have challenged me but at the same time it feels so connected to spirit, which is what I need. From the bottom of my heart, thank you (and Benji) for your skill and your truth.
I cannot wait for day 2! Could you please consider uploading earlier? I would like to do the practice before work. I live in Europe and there is a time difference. I am already in my yoga gear, but just found out I have to wait a couple of hours. For me it would be easier to show up early in the morning. Thank you for this 30 days!
Same for me! 3-4 hours earlier will make it available to us 👍🏻
I had the same problem but did day 2 via the downloadable collection!
Same!
@@indra6710 where is the downloadable collection please? Normally these are only released on the day.
@@lizt5658 you can find the link in the discription of the video :)
I did this one back when it was first running - I wasn't aware of how much nostalgia I'd get from the music playing at the end. The core workout at the end really really woke me up. Day 533 of the current run.
"I am strong" breathe "I am strong" breathe. this got me through this session today. I Imagine we all have that voice telling us to quit when the work gets hard and we are quaking but just that gentle reminder helped me power through and I couldn't be more grateful; for the practice and the reminder that you CAN change the way you think about things. See you tomorrow!
yes!! that was so nice. it’s rare that we tell our self encouraging words out of love and that helped so much 💕
@@laurenbanister6805 you are so right.
Thank you to the 13,579 incredible souls who just did yoga with me right now 💜 And to the person who taught me to refresh the page to see how many had been on with me too 💜 Namaste
Doing this in April & committed to Slay!! I hope everyone who’s doing it at the same time is having an incredible journey too
Just starting this in May 🤭🎊💪
@@hanazielke178 lol same we’ll see how far I make it😂
@@hanazielke178 so we're doing this together! Yay
Just started!!! 🎉🎉 good luck to you !!
@@11colorfulaura11 good luck to you
After the practice, I love to check out the comments and find strength in the community: people who has arthritis like me and powering through, people who hadn't done this in a while and found themselves shaking through the shapes... I'm surprised by the amount of people complaining about the time- it's almost all I can see when I check the comments. It honestly brings me down and I know I'm not the only one. Where I am right now, the video goes live at 5pm, and some other places, even more "inconvenient" times.
Adrienne gives this annually for free and later on-demand, maybe it's our turn to give grace to her and others. Please remember that convenience is a privilege. If it's too late for you, please consider doing the practice the day after in a time that suits you best.
omg I'm crying reading these comment. I could just be emotional but this is just so powerful to me. Thank you sooo so much Adriene! You got me into yoga about 2 years ago, and I've fell off of my consistent practice for a while now, but I was so excited to start another 30 day journey w you all!! Getting back into it just these past 2 days has literally shifted my mindset and gave me a little push to start getting out of this funk. You always make me realize how much I love and need yoga. Love you guys, thank you for being you💜✨
The same for me too Kayy, not practiced since August due to much work stress & currently off work as my post after 18years is being deleted & options to continue working there are not really options so looking at redundancy. I started to feel really stiff and oh my goodness am I but I knew that this programne will be the best thing to do to get me feeling physically free & mentally light & feeling excited about new opportunities & to feel me again 💜 Thankyou Adrienne & just keep turning up everyone, my first 30days turned into over a year of praticing, enjoy x
Day 2 I'm still here proud of myself. Making a commitment not to miss a day.
had a lovely moment on the mat at the very end of the practice. we're getting our first real cold snap of the winter here today and had a few flurries of snow with more expected overnight. when lying there with open palms i imagined the sky overhead and all the snow drifting down onto me, and felt very connected to the world and happy to be in it and alive. "open" is my word of the year for 2022 so i was hoping this practice would be a special one and it definitely was!
What a beautiful image you captured while lying on your mat. I could almost see and experience it as I was reading your comment.
This session really opened everything up around my chest and shoulders, I didn't realise how stiff and tensed up I was!😆 Also Benji and his long gaze out the window melted my heart 🥰
This past year has been rough with healing from a mental breakdown, understanding new diagnoses, etc... Let's just say my bed and I are good friends 😂 Day 1 reminded me that "I am here"...not where I have been, but "here" and "now". Yesterday I did Day 2...my depression was heavy, but I decided I would sit on the mat and watch the video if that is all I could manage. I did about 10%, but it felt good that I had kept my commitment. I opened my mind to accept my limitations and do what I could. I will do Day 3 some time today, even if I can't do it fully. 😊
Thank you for being "real", Adriene 😊
Taking the time out to roll out your mat and watch the video, even when your body and brain can't handle following along is a wonderful idea. Do what you can, make modifications when needed. Yoga is supposed to feel good. My heart is with you, my friend. I hope you're still practicing!!
I'm in a similar situation where I'm handling multiple diagnosis's including depression. I felt like giving up half way through the video but I remembered what you said in your comment and it helped me push through until the end! You are so strong for accepting your limitations and listening to what your body is telling you, I wish you the best of luck in your healing journey and thank you for being a small but significant part of mine!
Wow, bicycles on day 2 - Adriene is not kidding around this year 😂 thank you for getting us moving (although I am dreading the hipdips that I assume are coming soon...) 😄❤️
(Also hit refresh after I finished and realised I had practised together with 13,000 others - how amazing is that!) Namaste all! 🙏🙌
One of those 13000 was me! ❤️😊
Imagine what will go on, at day six. HELP :'D
but we will get this! like every year :)
The vibe this year is very new and refreshing. I am so glad I joined for this challenge again. Adriene & Co, you guys are saints for bringing us this transformative 30 day practice year after year for FREE! Endless gratitude.
ATTRACT🌟 - August 2024
I attract all the good and divine that is coming my way and constantly surrounding me by remaining open and clear in the heart, mind, body and soul.
I feel spiritually uplifted especially considering the fact that in a very metaphorical manner as I opened my eyes at the closure of todays outside practice I saw how all of the clouds had parted to reveal a brilliant blue evening sky. The serenity and stillness of the blue ceiling is reflective of how my mind is feeling now post-yoga and the state I need to remain in and return to in order to receive all of the gifts that the universe is constantly bestowing on me. Optimistic is another way to describe this heightened and enlightened spiritual state i find myself in as I step towards my highest most divine form. Namaste yogi friends🙏. I hope all of the divinity that you deserve comes to you✨💓 xx
Day 2, Open. To open the heart and the mind. This practice was so…empowering. I could feel myself shake, but for the first time in a long time, I accepted it and this practice provided a chance to do just that. From every breath to every step, I felt a little more supported. Life nowadays is so fast paced but then, all of a sudden slows down and it’s so hard to know what to leave and what to do next. Yoga just offers that time to take a break and be present in the moment. Thank you…Adriene for this beautiful practice and to Benji for decorating a smile on our faces today
"Let your breath move your mountain". That one struck like lightning. Thanks for you little bits of strength to take along on my day!
Attract day 14. August 14, 2024. This was a fun practice for me and i loved the flow. Thanks Adriene and everyone. Namaste🙏
As I suffer from depression mornings are hard, therefore my challenge for January is to come to the mat when this is released.
So today, instead of fluffing around slowly inside my head and house, I am letting out little roars moving towards that fire in my body, and a loud OMGGGGG! when I'm done. Its so much better to be in sweet guided movement at this time.
Thank you Adriene and all fellow brave yogis : D
I know what depression feels like, it can be really hard, but Adriene's videos really do help with that! So great you are on this journey too, I wish you all the best
Yesssssss!
Good morning from the Highlands of Scotland. This is the first time I have managed the start of your 30 day challenge and I am enjoying so much!
Here after Flow for 2024. This is one I missed but I think it was for the best. Great timing to have a challenge for February :) Thank you Adriene, and all practicing.
I’m with you Molly!
Me too 😊 I missed a lot of this challenge. Nice to have someone else doing this with me!
I'm with you three, Molly, Elizabeth and Sophie, but I'm a day behind, lol. Will be doing day two on Saturday! Maybe I'll catch up at some point. Let's stick with it!
Me 4 😂. Also a day behind, but I"ll try to end this in feb. I missed this on in 2022 because I was ill with a heart problem. So is really nice to be able to do this one now after Flow.
Also here post 2024s Flow but took a few days to do other (shorter) sessions. Missing the real time community aspect and happy to see these comments 🤍🧘🏻♀️
Attract day 14🎉 thank you, Adriene, for todays practice, it was another special practice for me with my old girl 🐶 although she didn't stay for the whole practice, I think she knew how it was going to end 🥵🤣. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
I am a Canadian who is spending three months in the U.K…. We would love it if the videos could be posted earlier!! I feel the pain all your followers from Europe and afar feel. Love your yoga and love you Adriene!!
Greetings any bedtime yogis out there. We'll take the energy from the day and carry it forward. Day 2 done, and man, did that move some energy! In ways I didn't know I needed. See everyone tomorrow.
Just finished!
I’m a few days late but I’m here at 12am lol
back w adriene to regain my strength, this seems to be the only way I can enjoy exercise
Here with you in December!
Thank you for bringing attention to Benji with his head on the windowsill. Benji has always reminded me of our sweet blue heeler, Bailey. She would always sit just like that looking out the window. We lost Bailey last year and it was a sweet reminder to see Benji doing that same thing. ❤️
I feel for you, Emily. I lost my black lab mix almost three years ago, loved her so much and will miss her forever. She was my first dog, but I know she won't be the last. Dogs just do this, and we their humans can't help it but melt over them doing so 🥰
So good, thank you so much. It doesn't matter that it's released later here, I'm just grateful for your time and giving this to us. And Benji is lovely!
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was JUST challenging enough for my level at this time.
I am so happy to be here on this journey with an open heart and a willing mind and body. Love you!
here with you :) feeling grateful
Everyone who wants the videos uploaded earlier there’s a link in the video description where you can download a few at a time for a Pay What Feels Good fee or you can use the Find What Feels Good app (which I use as I am in the UK) and that uploads them 12hrs earlier than UA-cam! Happy Yoga-ing! (PS Adriene pls pin so this comment doesn’t get lost! 🙏🏽)
I tried to do day 2, but I’m so depressed and stressed I started crying and turned it off.
I couldn’t even get through a yoga session. 😔 Im posting this because I’m sure there are people who feel how I do today.
I just want you to know you’re not alone in how you feel. And it’s ok to feel they way you’re feeling.
I’m going to try Day 2 again, tomorrow. ♥️
Good job even turning it on! It's taken me several tries to do this video and today I completed it with a lot of floor modifications. It's better to do a little than nothing and you already accomplished that by trying today and promising yourself you'll try tomorrow. Good job!
I've been there. It gets better. Trust me!
Getting through the yoga session could help to get your thoughts sorted out. I hope you stick to it! Best of luck!
It's okay, take your time and take it easy but take it. I've went through depression and now in a post depression i still find it hard to even begin doing it. But i can confirm you that it makes your journey through these rought times so much more calming
I'm going through a hard time as well and I've gotta say that even though it might feel tough, you've gotta try and listen to your body and take it slow. I really struggle with downward dog for example and I look like a bowl when doing it 😅 but I try not to get discouraged and not force it too much.. also try to take it day by day and not look at the finish line 😊😊
I'm so ready for day 2! Adriene, could you consider uploading a bit earlier please? I like to do my routine before starting to work and it would be amazing to continue my routine with this challenge. Thank you so much for considering it :)
Do what I did! Pick any Yoga with Adriene video today and follow the rest of Move one day behind, so it's available to you at any time! 😀
@@iamdidicolor thanks Didi! I'll do it that way🤗
I have also followed a different video today 😊
I do a different challenge during the day because I’am in australia so the video becomes available at 9pm here, but I still do the live move video with Adriene because two yoga sessions a day is a great feeling (if we have the time) xxx hope everyone has a lovely practise
If you go in the description for the video, there is an option to download the series a couple days in advance. They are “Pay-what-feels-good” which I think we all should support her in some way for this amazing yearly service! I hear the FWFG Membership releases the videos earlier as well.
🙏💕 Namaste and so happy to be on this journey w y’all! 😌🌱
Hi Adriene, thank you so much for your time and loving practise. I recognise you can,t fit in with everyone’s time zones and I am grateful that I can access your videos at my own time, even if I do it a day later so I can do it before work. I hope your voice recovers soon. And thank you again 💗💕
Attract day 14 2024❤❤
I am worthy good things are flowing to me🤩
At the point when Adrienne was talking about "burning warmth" near the end, I kind of felt like a burning worm 😂 The practice was really challenging but also rewarding. I finally managed to tap into lateral breath, and it felt awesome!
Seriously, first I did hear "burning worm" :D
I‘m just gonna leave a comment as well because I love reading about everyone‘s experiences doing this year‘s challenge! My new years resolution for 2022 is a little bit more discipline in everything I do. I really feel like this yoga journey helps a lot with that. Showing up on the mat and not quitting half way through the practice because it gets hard requires lots of discipline for me. I loved practicing in the morning during the last years but because the videos are uploaded later now (11am in Germany) I already had breakfast, read my book (which I usually don‘t find the time for) and got some work done. Never imagined I could be this productive, lol. (Not saying productivity is all that matters!! But it simply feels good for me right now.) I wish everyone a great journey, can‘t wait to keep reading all of your comments. Doing this together really motivates me! And last but most importantly: Thank you so much Adriene!
Thank you for sharing Cara! Wish you a great journey as well and good luck with your new years resolution 🥰 I'll definitely take you up on that, I also need more discipline in things I do. Thank you for encouraging me :)
July 26th, Day 2 in the books! I was really able to be in the moment today and it felt sooo good!
Did anyone else catch "right nose over right shoulder"? It added some good laughter to my practice. Adriene IS human! :)
I've never had the opportunity to do these practices live before since for me they began in the night! Now they begin at 5 a.m., and I can participate right away! What a joy! Thank you for this opportunity and for sharing these videos with us at no cost!
Yesterday I didn't know that they went live at 5. I thought they just posted at that time, so I was about 25 minutes late! Today --- Yay! Right there!
You can do the video whenever you want Sherry! People around the world are doing it at all different times so chances are, you'll still be doing it with someone! :)
@@yogawithadriene It was just cool to do it when it first comes on. I still haven't figured out how people are commenting while they are doing yoga, ha ha! My thinking on this was when I saw so many people wanting to change the time to make it earlier was that it doesn't matter. I have been doing these yearly month-long Yoga with Adriene events every January for years. Today is the first time I did it right when it posted. It was kind of cool! I actually don't consider whether anyone is doing yoga with me. Even in the pre-pandemic times when I went to an inexpensive (like $3 per session) studio, my eyes are usually closed, and the other people disappear.
Just have to admire Adriene's descriptions of these positions and transitions. I often feel like I can follow along with just the audio. She's a wonderful speaker and instructor.
Decided I’d like to leave comments of gratitude after I finish each lesson. Thank you Adriene for so lovingly sharing your practice. This has been a beautiful start to my health journey and I’m so thankful for these videos you make.
I loved the phrase 'notice where your mind went' it really struck a chord with me today. I might make that my focus for the year!
mindfulness! A very worthy practice!
Almost a month later, I just practiced with about 700 people. That's what I call a community. Thank you, Adriene for the wonderful flow!
Thank you, Adrienne! And whatever you might have said a million times, some of us haven’t heard that often yet, so it’s always good if you repeat something. Thank you thank you thank you.
Hi Adrienne - so happy to be joining you again this year - I agree it would be so helpful if the release time could be earlier - by maybe 3 hours? Then people in the UK could start their day with their practice before work - thank you and Namaste 🙏
I 2nd this. Would love to be able to do this at 7am to start my day off.
Great slow flow practice for morning or any time of day.
Dear Adrienne and Benji ! You are My daily LIGHT , the two of you . I started 2 months ago and it is a marvel to realize what you are giving me, my body and my life ! Thank you endlessly from Sweden
Repeating “I am strong” really got me through the planks today. I feel so relaxed yet empowered because I was able to do more today than I was yesterday. While it may not have always looked great, I feel great
Well done finding what feels good! Best wishes to you!
Thank you Adrienne for this much needed challenge to begin this year the right way 🥰
The videos will always be out ar the same time? I am living in France and the video is available at 11 a.m… I am used to do my yoga as soon as I wake up at 7am before work. I may let pass a day to do it the following morning. I am so excited for this, thank you ✨
I have the same « problem », I am from Belgium, I am afraid that after 11AM I won’t show up at the end of the day rather this morning when I have a little time … your idea to skip a day to be able to follow up the next morning sounds a great idea ! ☺️ wish you a great day !
I had the same problem and decided to follow via the downloadable collection! You can see the videos up to day 5 already
Thanks so much for this tip Indra! I’m in the UK and am having the same issue too. Considering Universal Time is +0 (UK time) and it comes out at 10am in the UK, there can’t be that many places where it comes out in the morning.
I love the videos but would really appreciate them being released a bit earlier 🥰
Adriene
I did this too… just did another class today instead. I’m going to carry on Revolution in February after Move finishes
Thank you Adriene for making the pandemic bearable. Yoga heals my body and soul after a long practice at the gym. i hope you know how helpful you are for people like me. Thank you Adriene.
Hi fellow Europeans, just collectively practice at 7/8ish the next morning. Let's not push for another upload time, I am sure there is many reasons for them choosing this particular schedule. We need to consider the fact that there is folks all around the world trying to practice. Given the fact they uploaded the former series earlier, the new delay might be due to some fairness regarding other places in the world.
Finally someone with some sense! The world is not Europe alone, thus not only European needs should be the only ones that matter. Thank you fellow yogi 💖
Exactly. You could always just start a day later. 😄
I agree!
Personally I am in Europe and I follow the videos at night, since that fits my schedule better. As long as we show up, I don't see the problem in not doing it live!
welcome everyone to DAY TWO! The hardest part is showing up; be proud to the commitment you made today, Nameste
It feels like I'm uncovering my brain 🧠 from the patterns and thoughts I hold onto. Yoga, and your kind and loving approach, has helped me heal myself. I have practiced since 2015 with you and have grown so much since then. Thank you, Adriene Mishler.
Attract day 14: sore from the gym and cramping from that time of the month. Definitely was a difficult session today. Namaste 🙏🏽
I'm from Australia and I think the sessions are perfect; it's 9pm here when they air, and it's the way I wind down before bed. Really love that they're on at this time, thank you so much!
Love reading all the comments from Australia. I used to do the same when I was an aupair over there in 2018/19. *nostalgic feelings arise* Good night to you!
In Sydney great time of the evening for us
I’m thankful to be here today and feeling my body works and struggle but push through gives me the confidence and hope for a strong healthy and aligned body
I am 71 today. By showing up to this class as frequently as possible I remain ageless in my mind. Thank you Adrienne for making me feel strong and good. I love you classes!
