  • Our Yoga For Weight Loss series continues with this 31-minute warming practice that invites you to focus on the power of thought as you build strength and awareness in the arms and abdominals.
    In this practice, I invite you to work with the body rather than on the body.
    With a focus on upper body strength, waking up the abdominal wall, and bringing some energy to the third chakra - the power center, we’ll also check in with the attitude that surrounds how we feel about our bodies. This sequence will have you stepping off your mat feeling your best, physically AND mentally.
    Return to this video to build muscle tone.
    Return to this video anytime you need a reset.
    I got your back.
    Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!
    Namaste.

    My girlfriend showed me yoga with Adriene a year ago and, without planning it, I’ve done yoga every day since. It has changed my life. I was able to quit drinking, lose weight healthily and calm down my nervous system. I have tourette’s, and like how stutterers don’t stutter when they sing, I don’t tic when I’m doing yoga. It puts my body in flow. Believe Adriene when she says trust the video and trust yourself. I gave up all my expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I hope everyone finds what they’re looking for through their yoga practice. I know it’s possible. Blessings to all ✌️

    Hi Adriene. I'm a 36 year old guy. Last night started a 60 day exercise routine and the instructor said find a basic yoga routine online and do about 20 mins a day. Having never done yoga before I didn't know where to start. So I UA-cam searched and found your video 'beginners yoga 20 minute workout' and did that last night. Tonight inquisitively I decided to check this one out, and kept up with it. I am going to stick with this one. You are amazing and have great energy. Thanks for your content and helping people like me. Greetings from the UK. I feel great having just finished this video, it really hits muscle groups that I thought were strong but are actually very weak, in some of these poses! Perfect conditioning for the body. Namaste!

    BLOOM 🌸 | May 19, 2023 | Finishing out the workweek with strength and power between yesterday's Core & Restore and today's Abs, Arms & Attitude! I do appreciate the standing poses in this practice which work on both abs and arms without requiring crunches! 🙏

    I have to say I appreciate so much the way Adrianne talks about our bodies when doing weight loss yoga. She knows many are coming to this video from a place of feeling lack or dislike or hatred towards their bodies. Without pushing it, she is just reminding us to be kind to ourselves. It genuinely means a lot to me.

    Today was the first day of my period and i had BAD cramps. I was supposed to do this practice in the morning but pushed it to 10pm. Im so beyond proud of myself for doing this practice though, as it helped me not only physically, but mentally. Thank you Adriene, benji and this incredible community for keeping me healthy and sane

So grateful for these videos, this community, this wonderful teacher in more than just yoga.... I'm definitely finding what feels good.

    I believe it’s so important to do these attitude practices even when you’re in the worst of moods and just don’t feel like it. It didn’t magically improve my mood this time, but it allowed me to be frustrated and see how that affects my practice, as well as let me cry it all out so I can move forward with my day feeling a bit lighter, as well as left me with sore arms 😂❤️

    last time i did this practice a few months ago, i couldn't do the side planks for more than a moment and simply had to do my best. now, about 9 months into yoga as a daily practice, i could do them the whole time! still no modifications, but i'll get there in time. for today, i'm very proud of how far i've come. :)

    Wow that felt alot more intense, today then it should have. Today I'm not feeling my best, I've got my Fibromyalgia acting up as it does. My shoulders, and lower back hurt like hell, but even so I persisted with my daily yoga with Adriene. I had to pause the video a couple of times to rest, and get my breath back, but I did it. I feel so good that I did it. Today's practice has helped my pain in one way, and I do feel stronger, but now I'm gonna do a slightly gentler practice, and cool it down. Thank you so much Adriene & Benji, for always being there for me. Love you both, see you again tomorrow, with me hopefully feeling a little more myself. 💕 Namaste 🙏🧡

    I’m so glad you called this month COURAGE. I am relatively new to yoga (47 days in) and I thought there was no way I could do this “ass-kicking” month. I considered finding a different 30 day focus. I decided to have COURAGE and just try. I did it. It wasn’t pretty, but I did it. Looking forward to challenging my self the next 29 days.

    I started this morning on the wrong side of the bed and had a mind full of negative self talk and bitterness so I decided to get on and do one of Adriene's videos. By the end of the video I feel centered, more positive, and I don't feel a shred of that negativity I woke up with. Yoga is playing such a huge role in my mental and emotional health and I cannot thank Adriene enough.

    I started following your yoga channel back in 2016 and really got into daily yoga again last year. Love all your videos but this one in particular was a lovely one! I had the worst sluggish day today and wasn’t in the mood to do yoga, let alone a core workout. So I made this commitment to follow your monthly yoga calendars and so I had to do todays one. I even thought about swapping it with the meditation one that’s how bad my day was going and this seemed intimidating. I am so happy I did it. I feel a lot more energized and it wasn’t that bad. I was fully committed and did full planks the entire practice and I just want to say thank you! I never comment but todays practice was lovely! Thank you for your time and commitment, both you and your team! ❤

    Good morning, afternoon and evening YWA friends. Who is still breathing? moving?
    This one really can take you to your edge. I know it did for me. I had to ease up a couple times but right now, I feel quite good. I do have a question that perhaps someone can answer. I noticed bumps appear on each of my ankles. I think they are actually blood vessels. They only seem pronounced while standing. Right now, sitting, I do not see or feel them. However, having just stood up to check, I can see and feel them again, although less so than while we were practicing. Any idea what that is? What causes that?
    Enjoy the day!
    Move day 10. Day 157.

    Can’t believe how much I loved this one today.

Was unsure going in if this was what I wanted for today but came out knowing it was just what I needed. 🌟

    I love how you added the "attitude" element into the workout. The idea of working with the body instead of on the body makes me feel like I'm in a relationship with my body instead of at war with it. I have started to admire it's strength and even though I'm not at my fitness goals I can still admire it for what it is.
