I’ve been doing these every January for 4 years now. It’s funny how I start off feeling stiff as a block of wood and by February feel like I’m made of rubber
I won’t lie, this was tough for me but good to get in touch with neglected parts of my body while taking care not to hurt my lower back. I am 65 in two weeks and this yoga month is my gift to me. Thank you all.
I'm 69 and this yoga month is my gift to myself as well! I started practicing yoga with Adriene's videos on my 63rd birthday. I feel so good in my body, thanks to these gentle (yet challenging) practices. I hope your birthday later this month will be your best ever so far, Lynn!
reading comments from different ciuntries and different ages is awesome. ladies you are the greatest inspiration for me and for lots of people here for sure!
I feel so honoured to get to practice alongside all of you today! Day six has been one of my biggest hurdles in the past - I used to tell myself that I just wasn't in the mood for core work that day, and the next, and the next, until I abandoned the practice altogether. But not this year. I showed up for myself, and while I had to take a few breaks throughout the video, I made it to the end. My abs are on fire, but I am so proud of myself (and of all of you for coming to the mat today). See you all tomorrow!
So proud of everyone who is still showing up here even if you took days off or modified the practice just to make it through. Myself included. Happy to be on the journey. ❤
I have one day to catch up but I've made it nonetheless. 🙂 I also have to modify a couple of poses (the lunge, for example; my limbs are too short and don't let me straighten my legs that way while bent forward like that. 😅)
I’m barely on day 6 😅 I was busy with work and family so starting where I left off lol I have to admit, I’m surprised that I’ve been more mindful. Im always thinking my thoughts and actions. Definitely brings the humility and discernment lol
I love the slow pace - the slow flow - in a world that embraces speed, moving fast, getting things done- this practice is an affirmation - slow down, breath, notice, take your time. Thank you Adriene.
Did anyone else really struggle with this today? Not just me I hope 😅 Excited to gain strength though! This is a journey and yes we all trust you Adriene 😊
If you’re reading this, I hope you know that taking a little rest in between these workouts doesn’t make you any less strong. It doesn’t make you incapable. I hope you know that just by you showing up and trying your very best already means you’re getting stronger by the nanosecond. And you are very much capable of anything you set your heart to doing! I had to remind myself of this today, and I thought I’d share this for anyone else who may be feeling or have felt the same way. We’re all doing amazing! Day 6 in the books ♥️
When she said day six was abs I groaned. I didn’t think I could do it, at all. I had two abdominal surgeries back in September, and it has been a very long, slow recovery. I didn’t think I even had the muscles to do any of this, but I did! I didn’t do everything, and I didn’t do it well, but I was here and I did it. Reading your post and the comment made me feel less alone in what I’m trying to accomplish.
I think you mean, it "doesn’t make you any less *strong"* 💪😉 but other than that, I absolutely agree. I think the biggest mistake one can make when working out is pushing your body too hard. Slow and steady will take you places. Find what feels good ❤
I have to confess I spent a lot of of this practice on happy baby pose and that’s okay, I’m working on being kinder to myself ❤ If you’re too, we got this.
Great reminder & encouragement!A yoga teacher once told me one of the most profound practices he ever had was spent in Child's pose. For the entire practice. Getting to your mat is the hardest part. Do what you can: modify, focus on a singular intention, do something completely different - going with your own flow(making your owns waves but still part of the ocean 😉) or just simply come to your mat and breathe. Yoga is breathing after all😊 Point is - keep showing up for yourself no matter how intimidating/challenging. Listen to your body. Nothing wrong with spending an entire practice in a relaxation pose, breathing and giving your nervous system some TLC💕 Keep on keepin' on, friends ☯️☮️💟
I lay in bed with trepidation this morning as I knew what day 6 traditionally is. I read these comments and thought 'fear should not hold you back just try and be kind'. Well it wasnt to horrid! Yes my abs burn, yes I had to tak break and YES I feel amazing at the end! So for anyone holding back on doing this practice, take a deep breath, trust the process and trust in your body xxx
I had to take a few breaks and there’s no shame in that! Note to self: it’s time to resume my core practice at least twice a week. From snowy New Hampshire, wishing you all a peaceful and happy day! 💕
I hope everyone is kind to themselves with this one!! Simply showing up is amazing! Ive not done a 30 day yoga challenge before so i did not know day 6 was known to be core focused haha but nevertheless i am super proud that i completed it. I couldnt do the crunch style moves for as long as in the video but i am being kind to myself and simply doing my best. We got this everyone!! ❤❤
The note to push the shoulder blades into the floor was such an "aha!!" moment for me... I have always struggled with straining my neck in these kinds of exercises and always end up modifying. It felt amazing to be doing the full movement for the first time without pain.
Oh boy, am I going to feel those abs tomorrow! It's so easy, yet so hard. I missed yesterday as my back was a bit sore, and I felt a little under the weather. I did both day 5 and 6 today. I am starting to notice already that I'm not as stiff and a bit more flexible. Namaste, everyone. Thank you, Adriene, for keeping me on track.
Thank you for the everyone who writes these lovely comments. I was being really harsh to myself but you guys lifted me up with your love and understanding. It's always easier when you know you're not alone. Thank you so much
Hi everyone. This is a beautiful practice. You've made it this far and you're still going. Congratulations🎉. I'm proud of you. Have a bright and peaceful Sunday and let's see again tomorrow.
thank you for those inspirational words @Peacie, I found this one very hard as only started yoga 2 months ago, I had to take extra breaks but this means I can only improve :)
I have had a snapping hip for as long as I can remember. Today was the first time I was able to engage my core in a way where my hip didn’t pop and I could safely do the movements. Thank you for your coaching Adriene! 🥹🫶🏻
I’ll be honest, my scissor legs looked very bent and I didn’t do as many reps, but abs work has always been my weakest area, and can only improve from this point :) Much love everyone on Day 6 ✔ well done for taking part
You allowed yourself to do it in a way that works for you instead of deciding to skip it all along because you wouldn't be able to do it 'perfectly', that's a win!!
Day 6 has become humility and self-compassion day! Where my form and capability is the most distant from Adriene's. Yet, I still come with the intention to practice. The deep part is mental - to be kind to myself for meeting where I am, and steer away from the other voice that wants to berate for my weakness. And enjoying the comments and chance to practice in community. Namaste.
About three weeks behind, I think, and this is where I’ve dropped off earlier years … darn core muscles! Well, this year I am continuing til the end, no matter how far behind I will be :) thank you greatly Adrienne!
I'm right here with you! My goal was to finish all of them, no matter how long it takes! I always tell myself, the goal is to finish, not to finish fast!
That's wonderful! I did my first 30 day journey in Jan 2023 and had a total a ha!, "ohhhh, this is why you do it daily and call it practice" lol. continued pretty regularly through the year and feel so much better in mind and body. Why docs in US don't prescribe yoga, I don't understand.
Plus size girly here read the comments and heard core work . Oh no !! My legs and core where shaking the entire time . I wanted to cry but Adrienne said if your new to core work give your self grace . It takes time and that made me feel so confident. I repeated this video twice and by the second round I can’t believe it was actually getting easier . This burning warmth in my belly felt really good the movements felt more fluid . God I miss this feeling . Love you Adrienne and everyone who’s doing this together!!!! See you tomorrow 😊
Good morning everyone! This was intense and I’m definitely going to feel my abs tomorrow. At the same time this felt so good. I quit my daily yoga practice in summer and now that I’ve started again it just feels so good 😊
I fell out of practice as well last year and am taking this opportunity to remind myself that it does feel good to get back into it! Good job to all of us for getting over the hump! ☺️
Yay!! Same story here! I heard Jay Shetty say to phrase this opportunity as I get to yoga! I get to focus on myself for 20 mins! And I feel better when I do yoga. I am proud of myself when I focus on me for a little. That positive reframe is so helpful Ive found :) and I just love the affirmation: I am a healthy person with healthy habits! ❤
Same here! Fell out of practice at the end of July. Frankly, it is discouraging for me to see how quickly the body loses its strength and flexibility, but I’m back at it! Onward and upward!!! 🤩
I have failed to complete some 30 days yoga challenges over the years because of anxiety and these "day 6". My core is really weak and I've avoided working on it as much as possible. But today I am here, wishing to take care of myself this year and I did it! Not as many reps but heck I did it! Thank you Adriene and thank you yoga community, this in massive for me
I always found yoga pushed my anxiety aside, both for the time I was doing it and then residual time afterwards. Helpful too though to have some meditative music for yoga in the background. But really, the mind focused on the breath and the movement seems to leave little space for anxiety. Best to you.
This one sure was a challenge! There where definitely moments where I felt I couldn’t do it. One important thing I have learned from these classes is PATIENCE! ❤ Thank you Adriene for sharing your awesome teachings !!!
Well done to everyone who did this along with me! Through the difficulty I realised that abs are my biggest weak point, but I will use that to improve myself instead of getting myself down. Another day, another challenge completed. Namaste and until tomorrow!
when Adriene’s hair is in a bun, it’s always a practice with a burn!! enjoyed this one even if it was a bit of a struggle - loving this journey so far 🫶🏻
I am a beginner with barely any core strength and this is the toughest day so far. The reminder to keep the rhythm of the breath is very helpful. Once I am done with all 30 days I will definitely go back to this and try to do better
Good morning everyone! I don't know why, but I always find the core days on the 30 day journey to be nicer than any other core focused sessions. I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday 💛.
In honour of my love for you Adriene I wouldn’t miss a January Day 6 for the world. As a senior yogi I practice core work with you every third day to keep super strong in my precious back and my positivity. You continue to support me and I thank you for that. Sending you love and to all my lovely yoga friends 🧘♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️🧘🏽♀️😊💕💕
Day 6 was definitely tough but did better than expected for an early Sunday morning. At the end while rubbing my belly. I forgot how important it is to love our bodies. Its not perfect but it harbored two soul and so grateful for my belly today. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
I found today really hard - my core is so weak it’s crazy. But I may come back to this session later in the month to see how I have improved. Feeling proud to be involved in this journey with everyone.
NAMASTE... Adriene, I am so glad you pronounce the "namaste" at the conclusion each time in this series! I missed that "namaste" something fierce in a previous series.
Day 6 - missed yesterday because I was sick. Decided not to beat myself up and instead just continue on with practice, be gentle and try to go for consistency. Core work felt great and noticed abs for first time in awhile. Namaste
No way! I’ve never stuck to anything longer than two days. It’s my sixth day doing yoga every evening after “everything is done” ! This was a toughie, but I enjoyed working my centre. Thank you.
I'm a week or so behind because I started the year with a sinus infection but I'm not giving up! Even though it can be hard at times, Adriene's channel has shown me there is a type of exercise I enjoy. Here's to my second year doing the January YWA challenge 🥂
Happy core day! Throughout this journey, I am setting the intention to leave little love notes in the comments, to keep myself reflecting and expressing gratitude, and also to spread love and positivity. DAY 6: Center...The day I used to dread, but this year it was different. In the past I saw this day as the way I SHOULD be working out, only core and for aesthetic purposes. But over this past year I have really reflected on the way I move my body should be with love. While this practice does help my abs it also gives me time to reflect on how far I've come. Last year I would've been upset that the workout wasn't twice as long or that there were flowing, gentle portions to this practice, but this year I am grateful. This video made me love my core for all it helps me do, even if it's not as strong or as visibly toned. My core is beautiful as it stabilizes me and keeps me balanced through all the obstacles I may face.
Wow, a tough one today (and I feel certain I’ll feel it tomorrow) but grateful and glad I can do it. It’s motivated me already to sign up for a 29 day yoga challenge in Feb for Cancer Research - thank you Adriene and everyone - I feel so grateful to be part of this community. I look forward to my evening routine each day x
The infamous day 6. I had no expectations whatsoever, aware that my ABS are my weak spot. It went better than expected, and was actually surprised how soon the session went by. Although I definitely feel it burn and my low back hurts a bit as well, I surprised myself today. Only one day till our first week of yoga is already completed!
When Adriene asks, "Do you trust me?" And I respond, "Why yes, actually I do."😊 And this is saying something for me to trust someone. I am very thankful for Adriene's consistent, loving guidance and presence throughout all these deeply healing and delightful practices.
The core has been one of my weakness for a while but this one is perfect amount of a workout for me that is challenging enough but not too much that I'm discouraged from coming back. I am repeating this one often now and building up my core. THANK YOU!
Day 6. This did not make me love core practice! 😄 Yet I survived and hopefully my abs will treat me nicely in the following days. What a fun start to my day. Have a good one, everyone!
Wow-I was shaking just getting INTO the positions-ugh-I am out of shape! But not for long, though I will feel the little I did manage to do today. Thanks Adriene!
Wow!!!! Such incredible guidance into flow with breath and active body work. Thank you Adriane. I really enjoy the way you teach such a depthful yoga practice. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Phew!! Started the day freezing cold and lethargic, not now!! Warmed up, and energised and feeling alive. That was challenging but revitalising. I always know we're in trouble when Adriene has a bun! 😂😂😂 Have a beautiful day everyone 🤗💞💖💞
This practice reminded me of when you go to the clinic for an injection, and the sweetest doctor or nurse is trying to calm you down with nice words... but you know what is going to happen next: the pain!!... and suddenly, it all ready happend and you didn't even noticed!! 😅 i've been doing 30 days of yogafor 5 years and is amazing!!! ❤🇲🇽
Good morning ywa community.Flow Day 06:01:24✅ ✨🌼Center🌼✨ done happily😄😅inspite of the👌🏾 focus to our center core ... It's felt so lovely & i got emotional as i join in today from cold frosty 🌄❄️🌬️ london UK. I really needed this to start my day by being kind and patient to myself...sweet reminder. We are here and uniquely doing this and as we All take in ♥️🤗 "I love you deep breaths" that felt very center & connecting with you all.... many thanx Adriene ☺️💞 for that beautiful truth & reminder as we all center together beautifully...i really enjoyed practicing with 1700k+ all over🌎. Have a wonderful day friends♥️♥️ and i hope i see you again tomorrow. Namaste💫💫💫♥️🙏🏾
Core work use to be my least favorite of all. I would always make excuses. But not today I got on the mat and did it and did not quit. I am feeling better and alittle stronger each day.
This was the first time in 6 years of YWA 30 Day Challenges that I was able to do Day 6 beginning to end!!! Oh my goodness. Thank you Adriene for your encouraging guidance throughout today's practice. The slow pace with constant reminders to breathe and support your lower back really did the trick. In previous years I said to myself "I can't, I CAN'T!" but I took your advice and opened my mind and partway though I realized I was DOING IT. Your videos and your precious self are such gifts! Thank you!
Round two, day 6 is ready, February 29th. Still challenging, but I managed. Thanks and lots of love to Adriene and Benji and all practicing ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏
I'm here on January 10th! I feel proud of myself. I know where I was at with my core work 3 years ago and I felt more solid each year since I started 30 days. If there was one more round, I would have had to tap out, but I'm proud that I was able to keep up!
Today was a hectic day for me. I almost didn't make it to the mat. Also almost didn't finish today's practice. But I am proud of myself for persevering, even if I had to take more breaks than usual. Thank you for sharing this space with me, everyone. Lots of love.
Honestly, loving the practices being 20 minutes long - feels very manageable jumping on the mat and making space for it amongst every day Life. Happy to be partcipating in my 6th year I think now ❤ Thank you Adriene and this community!
I had a really hard time with this one and had to make a LOT of adjustments but I just kept reminding myself what you said yesterday about the modifications being part of my body's wisdom and being my true self on the mat and that did help me. Thank you!
Good morning everyone, I found this practice challenging, due mostly to previous neck and back injuries, so I cut down on the reps and took a break in the middle, but I’m proud of myself for showing up and not dismissing this class. Thank you, Adrienne. Namaste.
I also cut down on reps due to back pain. I always skip happy baby in yoga for that reason. Would love to try some core work that isn't on the ground. 😊
I came to the mat rather emotional today and was pleasantly surprised by this different core work, slower, gentle but still challenging. It felt like the hug I needed rather than work I dreaded. ❤
I was so sleepy this sunday so only did half of this practice. Came back today and did the other half and I feel the burn 😂❤ now time for day 8 relax ❤
You are so right about core conditioning. It's not about "having abs" but having that center from which everything from deep breath to good posture to heart centering radiates. Loved this and enjoyed the surprise of core work ❤
Hi yoga with Adriene, after completing this practice I can confirm you have abs of steel!! My midsection was on fire. Each time I looked at the screen you were poised while I must have looked like a fish flopping around when it’s out of water. Thanks for the burn and onto day 7!
I am automatically filled with dread whenever I see a core class, but in keeping with my intention of acceptance, I decided to surrender and just FLOW. Cannot believe how fast this class went, and I almost even enjoyed the core workout. Feeling strong, centered, and at peace. Thank you, Adriene, for always knowing what my body needs even when I'm not willing to admit it, and to the 8000 people around the world who practiced with me today! Namaste and much love from NYC 🙏🏼🤍
I had a break for two days to give myself some time to heal from a small fall. My body had been craving movement and coming back to this session in the flow series was invigorating. I hope everyone is well and enjoying this yoga journey wherever you are. Namaste 🙏🏽💙
Wow amazing. Day 6 is usually not my favourite but I decided to enjoy the practice and notice what didn’t feel good when I was struggling and soften my face or where I was clenching until I heard Adriene say those magic words ‘you’ve got this, we’re here for….’ once I knew release was not far off I stuck with her and everyone practicing with me. I’m going away for a few days but my mat is going with me so I’ll see you all on the mat tomorrow. Enjoy your day.💕
Day 6, January 30th. It was harder to get on the mat today, but I did it. So glad I managed to almost all of movements. Just at the end I couldn't lower my legs properly so I just did micro movements. It's awesome how gently and smooth this practice came out for me. Thanks, Adriene and sweet Benji❤❤❤ Lots of love ❤️ Keep flowing together 🙏 Namaste
Day six! Thank you for this video, Adriene, Benji, and the YWA team! Today is my birthday! Core is definitely not my favourite, but I'm still glad that I showed up on this love and fun-filled day! Thank you all for practising for me, and I'll see you tomorrow! 🤍🌱🤍
This was lovely! I'm pregnant(at the beginning of my third trimester) so I adapted the exercises to do most of it on the sides and not strain the belly and it still felt awesome to follow along. As Day 5 practice reminded and thought us: our yoga is about our journey. Wherever we are in life. Adapting the practices is truly living them at our pace and it is beautiful and real. Thank you Adriene, Benji, Team and Community for this shared time and space. Thank you to the other 6.680 lovely people who practiced alongside me today. Sending lots of love out to this amazing Community. 🙏🏻💚
This is my first 30 day journey and hoooooo boy did not expect the copious amount of abs, but I'm very proud of myself for powering through and realizing that I have way more control than I thought I did. Fully expecting tomorrow to hurt in a good way

Like Stretch Armstrong?
Wow - remember him??!!!
Did you start with Breath? That's where I started with 30 day yoga 😊
@@astridlim5512it's where I started too! I feel like that was the perfect 30 days for a complete beginner
Good encouraging words
I won’t lie, this was tough for me but good to get in touch with neglected parts of my body while taking care not to hurt my lower back. I am 65 in two weeks and this yoga month is my gift to me. Thank you all.
You go girl !
Congratulations 🎉and happy birthday
I am also 65, and struggle with arthritis pain. But I am strong, and showing up with a full heart every day. I modify, but I am here!!!
I'm 69 and this yoga month is my gift to myself as well! I started practicing yoga with Adriene's videos on my 63rd birthday. I feel so good in my body, thanks to these gentle (yet challenging) practices. I hope your birthday later this month will be your best ever so far, Lynn!

Be so very proud of yourself!! Good for you!!! We are STRONG!
Proud of you! Let’s keep going 🎉❤
I too took breaks but finished. We finished!!Go us!!
Fire is so strong, also had to take a couple breaks but made it, together we all got this!
So proud of everyone who is still showing up here even if you took days off or modified the practice just to make it through. Myself included. Happy to be on the journey. ❤
I have to modify almost everything. Thanks for the reminder that it still counts as showing up!
Thank you! I'm so proud of all of us and myself! I do this a day late, but still very happy to participate
I’m with you 100%!!! We are doing this!
I have one day to catch up but I've made it nonetheless. 🙂 I also have to modify a couple of poses (the lunge, for example; my limbs are too short and don't let me straighten my legs that way while bent forward like that. 😅)
thank you! I had about 2 days off to prioritize my sleep and unlike last year, I got back! I'm happy to be here with y'all🥰💖
You are a gift to humanity Adriene ❤
Yes! An absolutely wonderful gift. Namasté 🙏
thats a FACT
A case of overreacting
Beautifully said 🙏
Indeed!
To anyone a few days behind: You're not alone! You got this :)
Thank you! So happy that I’m all caught up now. Great job for sticking through!
We’re doing it though!
I was supposed to be on day 5 today, accidentally click wrong video, haha. But hey, i showed up and did it 🎉
I’m barely on day 6 😅 I was busy with work and family so starting where I left off lol I have to admit, I’m surprised that I’ve been more mindful. Im always thinking my thoughts and actions. Definitely brings the humility and discernment lol
@@lolawilson1027 I feel ya. Really I just got lazy with it though 😅
I'm 6 months behind lmao
I love the slow pace - the slow flow - in a world that embraces speed, moving fast, getting things done- this practice is an affirmation - slow down, breath, notice, take your time. Thank you Adriene.
It felt even more intense in this slow motion
I'm loving the pace too! ❤
Did anyone else really struggle with this today? Not just me I hope 😅 Excited to gain strength though! This is a journey and yes we all trust you Adriene 😊
Yes I felt it was a departure from the previous days, and significantly tougher.
I guess I know where my work is...core strengthening, here we come!
Yep. I consider myself fit and (fairly) strong but I had to stop several times. Keep going! :)
My back hurts when I do core exercises:-(
this one was a real struggle
Its always Day 6, its tradition by now that we all die 😂
If you’re reading this, I hope you know that taking a little rest in between these workouts doesn’t make you any less strong. It doesn’t make you incapable. I hope you know that just by you showing up and trying your very best already means you’re getting stronger by the nanosecond. And you are very much capable of anything you set your heart to doing!

Yes!!! And taking breaks means that you're actually listening to your body and being loving towards it. ❤ That is worth honoring.

Yes!! 👏👏👏👏
Yay Abs! Love how Adriene can speak smoothly and without huffing throughout the entirety of those DIFFICULT moves! What a hero! Namaste, all.
Exactly my thoughts haha, I could never!
I have to confess I spent a lot of of this practice on happy baby pose and that’s okay, I’m working on being kinder to myself ❤ If you’re too, we got this.
Thank you, I needed to hear that.
Oh I couldn't even finish 😂
If you’re like me and like to browse the comments before you start, it’s okay if core work scares you but don’t give up!! You’ve got this 💕
Great reminder & encouragement!A yoga teacher once told me one of the most profound practices he ever had was spent in Child's pose. For the entire practice.
Getting to your mat is the hardest part.
Do what you can: modify, focus on a singular intention, do something completely different - going with your own flow(making your owns waves but still part of the ocean 😉) or just simply come to your mat and breathe. Yoga is breathing after all😊
Point is - keep showing up for yourself no matter how intimidating/challenging.
Listen to your body.
Nothing wrong with spending an entire practice in a relaxation pose, breathing and giving your nervous system some TLC💕
Keep on keepin' on, friends
☯️☮️💟
Thanks… I was tempted to just get back off the mat.😂
@@breann_ this is lovely, thank you for sharing!!
@@KO-lw4lo Anytime, best part about the 30 days community is supporting one another! Hope to see you back on the mat today 💕
It was super hard today. I wasn't able to stick with it the whole way, but I didn't get off the mat
Glad to know many of y'all struggled today too, but we made it through! Amazing how many of us are starting 2024 off with this Flow!
I lay in bed with trepidation this morning as I knew what day 6 traditionally is. I read these comments and thought 'fear should not hold you back just try and be kind'. Well it wasnt to horrid! Yes my abs burn, yes I had to tak break and YES I feel amazing at the end! So for anyone holding back on doing this practice, take a deep breath, trust the process and trust in your body xxx
Your words are so encouraging! Thank you.
Can I just say how much I LOVE the outro of this series with sweet ol' Benji and you together in a beautiful dual down dog? ❤
I had to take a few breaks and there’s no shame in that! Note to self: it’s time to resume my core practice at least twice a week. From snowy New Hampshire, wishing you all a peaceful and happy day! 💕
Whew! Thank you Adriene, for that reminder of where my abs are, and thank you to the 1,300 of you who practiced alongside me. Proud of us all!
I hope everyone is kind to themselves with this one!! Simply showing up is amazing!
Ive not done a 30 day yoga challenge before so i did not know day 6 was known to be core focused haha but nevertheless i am super proud that i completed it. I couldnt do the crunch style moves for as long as in the video but i am being kind to myself and simply doing my best.
We got this everyone!! ❤❤
The note to push the shoulder blades into the floor was such an "aha!!" moment for me... I have always struggled with straining my neck in these kinds of exercises and always end up modifying. It felt amazing to be doing the full movement for the first time without pain.
same! I didn't even noticed that at the moment but my neck really did NOT hurt, wow
Oh boy, am I going to feel those abs tomorrow! It's so easy, yet so hard. I missed yesterday as my back was a bit sore, and I felt a little under the weather. I did both day 5 and 6 today. I am starting to notice already that I'm not as stiff and a bit more flexible. Namaste, everyone. Thank you, Adriene, for keeping me on track.
It's tomorrow for me, today, and for the love of God, it hurts in places I didn't even know existed, but it feels AMAZING!
Thank you for the everyone who writes these lovely comments. I was being really harsh to myself but you guys lifted me up with your love and understanding. It's always easier when you know you're not alone. Thank you so much
Hi everyone. This is a beautiful practice. You've made it this far and you're still going. Congratulations🎉. I'm proud of you. Have a bright and peaceful Sunday and let's see again tomorrow.
thank you for those inspirational words @Peacie, I found this one very hard as only started yoga 2 months ago, I had to take extra breaks but this means I can only improve :)
Beautifully said ♥️ I’m so proud of us all! See you all tomorrow!
See you tomorrow 😊
I have had a snapping hip for as long as I can remember. Today was the first time I was able to engage my core in a way where my hip didn’t pop and I could safely do the movements. Thank you for your coaching Adriene! 🥹🫶🏻
I’ll be honest, my scissor legs looked very bent and I didn’t do as many reps, but abs work has always been my weakest area, and can only improve from this point :) Much love everyone on Day 6 ✔ well done for taking part
You allowed yourself to do it in a way that works for you instead of deciding to skip it all along because you wouldn't be able to do it 'perfectly', that's a win!!
I'm exactly the same. Always avoid/minimise core as much as possible...and pay for it on days like these!! Found this one tough.
Aw thank u, great words of encouragement @@eevee2411
Glad I’m not alone :)!@@drpepper3k
I was same, and very loud in my protest at the stomach crunches that was tough! But we all showed up and did it ❤
Proud of myself for doing this one it’s always the most challenging yet also the most rewarding ❤
Day 6 has become humility and self-compassion day! Where my form and capability is the most distant from Adriene's. Yet, I still come with the intention to practice. The deep part is mental - to be kind to myself for meeting where I am, and steer away from the other voice that wants to berate for my weakness. And enjoying the comments and chance to practice in community. Namaste.
About three weeks behind, I think, and this is where I’ve dropped off earlier years … darn core muscles! Well, this year I am continuing til the end, no matter how far behind I will be :) thank you greatly Adrienne!
Same!
I'm right here with you! My goal was to finish all of them, no matter how long it takes! I always tell myself, the goal is to finish, not to finish fast!
I'm three weeks behind too! By this point im probably 8 days behind you! Keep going friend 🎉
Ive had more health care from Adriene helping me manage a condition in 8 months of practice than any doctor ❤🎉
That's wonderful! I did my first 30 day journey in Jan 2023 and had a total a ha!, "ohhhh, this is why you do it daily and call it practice" lol. continued pretty regularly through the year and feel so much better in mind and body. Why docs in US don't prescribe yoga, I don't understand.
Plus size girly here read the comments and heard core work . Oh no !! My legs and core where shaking the entire time . I wanted to cry but Adrienne said if your new to core work give your self grace . It takes time and that made me feel so confident. I repeated this video twice and by the second round I can’t believe it was actually getting easier . This burning warmth in my belly felt really good the movements felt more fluid . God I miss this feeling . Love you Adrienne and everyone who’s doing this together!!!! See you tomorrow 😊
Good morning everyone! This was intense and I’m definitely going to feel my abs tomorrow. At the same time this felt so good. I quit my daily yoga practice in summer and now that I’ve started again it just feels so good 😊
abs are burning 😆 it did feel amazing, lets keep going 🥰
I fell out of practice as well last year and am taking this opportunity to remind myself that it does feel good to get back into it! Good job to all of us for getting over the hump! ☺️
Yay!! Same story here! I heard Jay Shetty say to phrase this opportunity as I get to yoga! I get to focus on myself for 20 mins! And I feel better when I do yoga. I am proud of myself when I focus on me for a little. That positive reframe is so helpful Ive found :) and I just love the affirmation: I am a healthy person with healthy habits! ❤
Same here! Fell out of practice at the end of July. Frankly, it is discouraging for me to see how quickly the body loses its strength and flexibility, but I’m back at it! Onward and upward!!! 🤩
@@srimayilauramerwin3004 agreed... Once u stop for even one wk... It's like u've never done a tap 😂
"If this work is new to you"... auwh... the sweetest! She doesn't say, if it's too hard. Such grace! We love you dearly, Adriene... ♡♡♡ xx..
❤
I have failed to complete some 30 days yoga challenges over the years because of anxiety and these "day 6". My core is really weak and I've avoided working on it as much as possible. But today I am here, wishing to take care of myself this year and I did it! Not as many reps but heck I did it! Thank you Adriene and thank you yoga community, this in massive for me
I always found yoga pushed my anxiety aside, both for the time I was doing it and then residual time afterwards. Helpful too though to have some meditative music for yoga in the background. But really, the mind focused on the breath and the movement seems to leave little space for anxiety. Best to you.
This one sure was a challenge! There where definitely moments where I felt I couldn’t do it. One important thing I have learned from these classes is PATIENCE! ❤ Thank you Adriene for sharing your awesome teachings !!!
You are the light in this darkness Andrien
Much love from Ukraine 🤍
❤🤗
And much love back to you from a fellow European. S.U!
This one was tough but great😅
Thank you Adriene❤
Thank you, everyone, for practicing with me!
Well done to everyone who did this along with me! Through the difficulty I realised that abs are my biggest weak point, but I will use that to improve myself instead of getting myself down. Another day, another challenge completed. Namaste and until tomorrow!
Well done right back at ya! We are STRONG 💪🏽
Day 6 completed- Feb 24th keeping with it! 💕
when Adriene’s hair is in a bun, it’s always a practice with a burn!! enjoyed this one even if it was a bit of a struggle - loving this journey so far 🫶🏻
I am a beginner with barely any core strength and this is the toughest day so far. The reminder to keep the rhythm of the breath is very helpful. Once I am done with all 30 days I will definitely go back to this and try to do better
Good morning everyone! I don't know why, but I always find the core days on the 30 day journey to be nicer than any other core focused sessions. I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday 💛.
wow!! day 6 and i did not expect that!! to have no back pain or neck pain after this is also insane. incredible and thankyou. Absolutely killed by abs
In honour of my love for you Adriene I wouldn’t miss a January Day 6 for the world. As a senior yogi I practice core work with you every third day to keep super strong in my precious back and my positivity. You continue to support me and I thank you for that. Sending you love and to all my lovely yoga friends 🧘♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️🧘🏽♀️😊💕💕
So great to see you join the calendar,always appreciate your words of encouragement ☮️
Love your comments Gill ❤
Thank you 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏼♀️😊💕💕
Grateful to have picked up from where I left off after 2+ months. Feeling strong! Thanks Adriene
Day 6 was definitely tough but did better than expected for an early Sunday morning. At the end while rubbing my belly. I forgot how important it is to love our bodies. Its not perfect but it harbored two soul and so grateful for my belly today. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
thanks to you. i feel alive and well, physically and mentally. my gratitude to you adriene.
I found today really hard - my core is so weak it’s crazy. But I may come back to this session later in the month to see how I have improved. Feeling proud to be involved in this journey with everyone.
😮💨 I had to have breaks but also did way more than I thought I was capable of 😊 winning ❤ thank you for this offering ❤
NAMASTE... Adriene, I am so glad you pronounce the "namaste" at the conclusion each time in this series! I missed that "namaste" something fierce in a previous series.
Day 6 - missed yesterday because I was sick. Decided not to beat myself up and instead just continue on with practice, be gentle and try to go for consistency. Core work felt great and noticed abs for first time in awhile. Namaste
No way! I’ve never stuck to anything longer than two days. It’s my sixth day doing yoga every evening after “everything is done” ! This was a toughie, but I enjoyed working my centre. Thank you.
I'm a week or so behind because I started the year with a sinus infection but I'm not giving up! Even though it can be hard at times, Adriene's channel has shown me there is a type of exercise I enjoy.
Here's to my second year doing the January YWA challenge 🥂
I have a love/hate relationship with core work. I made it through with a lot of internal love talk. Feeling like a rock star!!! Namaste
That was so hard…I could barely finish. I’m looking forward to doing this routine again in March to see my progress 🙌
Happy core day!
Throughout this journey, I am setting the intention to leave little love notes in the comments, to keep myself reflecting and expressing gratitude, and also to spread love and positivity.
DAY 6: Center...The day I used to dread, but this year it was different. In the past I saw this day as the way I SHOULD be working out, only core and for aesthetic purposes. But over this past year I have really reflected on the way I move my body should be with love. While this practice does help my abs it also gives me time to reflect on how far I've come. Last year I would've been upset that the workout wasn't twice as long or that there were flowing, gentle portions to this practice, but this year I am grateful. This video made me love my core for all it helps me do, even if it's not as strong or as visibly toned. My core is beautiful as it stabilizes me and keeps me balanced through all the obstacles I may face.
Lovely words ❤
I’m on day 6 and I already feel so much better after being totally lazy in winter! Thank you so much Adriene!❤
Wow, a tough one today (and I feel certain I’ll feel it tomorrow) but grateful and glad I can do it. It’s motivated me already to sign up for a 29 day yoga challenge in Feb for Cancer Research - thank you Adriene and everyone - I feel so grateful to be part of this community. I look forward to my evening routine each day x
The infamous day 6. I had no expectations whatsoever, aware that my ABS are my weak spot. It went better than expected, and was actually surprised how soon the session went by. Although I definitely feel it burn and my low back hurts a bit as well, I surprised myself today. Only one day till our first week of yoga is already completed!
When Adriene asks, "Do you trust me?" And I respond, "Why yes, actually I do."😊 And this is saying something for me to trust someone. I am very thankful for Adriene's consistent, loving guidance and presence throughout all these deeply healing and delightful practices.
The core has been one of my weakness for a while but this one is perfect amount of a workout for me that is challenging enough but not too much that I'm discouraged from coming back. I am repeating this one often now and building up my core. THANK YOU!
Day 6. This did not make me love core practice! 😄 Yet I survived and hopefully my abs will treat me nicely in the following days. What a fun start to my day. Have a good one, everyone!
I love core centered yoga practice, Thank you!
Benji looks so peaceful ❤ it adds to the ambience
Wow-I was shaking just getting INTO the positions-ugh-I am out of shape! But not for long, though I will feel the little I did manage to do today. Thanks Adriene!
Did I just… enjoy Day 6? In all my years, I never thought I’d see the day 🤯
Wow!!!! Such incredible guidance into flow with breath and active body work. Thank you Adriane. I really enjoy the way you teach such a depthful yoga practice. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Phew!! Started the day freezing cold and lethargic, not now!! Warmed up, and energised and feeling alive. That was challenging but revitalising. I always know we're in trouble when Adriene has a bun! 😂😂😂 Have a beautiful day everyone 🤗💞💖💞
A beautiful day to you as well!
This practice reminded me of when you go to the clinic for an injection, and the sweetest doctor or nurse is trying to calm you down with nice words... but you know what is going to happen next: the pain!!... and suddenly, it all ready happend and you didn't even noticed!! 😅 i've been doing 30 days of yogafor 5 years and is amazing!!! ❤🇲🇽
Good morning ywa community.Flow Day 06:01:24✅ ✨🌼Center🌼✨ done happily😄😅inspite of the👌🏾 focus to our center core ... It's felt so lovely & i got emotional as i join in today from cold frosty 🌄❄️🌬️ london UK. I really needed this to start my day by being kind and patient to myself...sweet reminder.

Have a wonderful day friends♥️♥️ and i hope i see you again tomorrow.
Namaste💫💫💫♥️🙏🏾
Core work use to be my least favorite of all. I would always make excuses. But not today I got on the mat and did it and did not quit. I am feeling better and alittle stronger each day.
This was the first time in 6 years of YWA 30 Day Challenges that I was able to do Day 6 beginning to end!!! Oh my goodness. Thank you Adriene for your encouraging guidance throughout today's practice. The slow pace with constant reminders to breathe and support your lower back really did the trick. In previous years I said to myself "I can't, I CAN'T!" but I took your advice and opened my mind and partway though I realized I was DOING IT. Your videos and your precious self are such gifts! Thank you!
You're experience gives me hope that I'll be able to complete this beginning to end some day! thank you! ♥🙏
As @strongertogether13 said above, thank you for saying this, it’s very inspirational to me that I’ll be able to complete it one day too!
@@StrongerTogether13 Oh my heart! You are welcome. Just showing up is so beautiful!
@@sallybites I seriously doubted I'd ever be able to, but after doing this for years, I surprised even myself. Thank you for your kind words! 💗
Round two, day 6 is ready, February 29th. Still challenging, but I managed. Thanks and lots of love to Adriene and Benji and all practicing ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏
180 000 yogis here! Congrats y’all, we did it!
See you tomorrow, let’s hit fool week of yoga!❤
I'm here on January 10th! I feel proud of myself. I know where I was at with my core work 3 years ago and I felt more solid each year since I started 30 days. If there was one more round, I would have had to tap out, but I'm proud that I was able to keep up!
Today was a hectic day for me. I almost didn't make it to the mat. Also almost didn't finish today's practice. But I am proud of myself for persevering, even if I had to take more breaks than usual. Thank you for sharing this space with me, everyone. Lots of love.
Great program Adriene, appreciate your sessions that you post, they are simple yet still challenging.
Honestly, loving the practices being 20 minutes long - feels very manageable jumping on the mat and making space for it amongst every day Life. Happy to be partcipating in my 6th year I think now ❤ Thank you Adriene and this community!
Oh no the bun is up! And I felt it. Was already so sore and tired so I took it a little easier. Thank you again.
this was so tough for me, i was definitely shaking and feeling it ..but the calmness of Benji (and Adriene of course ;] ) helped me get through !!
😄, benji is great motivation!
I had a really hard time with this one and had to make a LOT of adjustments but I just kept reminding myself what you said yesterday about the modifications being part of my body's wisdom and being my true self on the mat and that did help me. Thank you!
When she says "We have a shorter practice today" you better buckle your seat because she's going to take you on a ride 🔥
Well done everyone for doing this one! it was hard CORE! But so worth it! Thanks so much!!!
Good morning everyone, I found this practice challenging, due mostly to previous neck and back injuries, so I cut down on the reps and took a break in the middle, but I’m proud of myself for showing up and not dismissing this class. Thank you, Adrienne. Namaste.
I also cut down on reps due to back pain. I always skip happy baby in yoga for that reason. Would love to try some core work that isn't on the ground. 😊
Wowza, I thought I had some core strength, I need to revisit this one often, and my abs are on fire! Thank you!
I came to the mat rather emotional today and was pleasantly surprised by this different core work, slower, gentle but still challenging. It felt like the hug I needed rather than work I dreaded. ❤
I was so sleepy this sunday so only did half of this practice. Came back today and did the other half and I feel the burn 😂❤ now time for day 8 relax ❤
You are so right about core conditioning. It's not about "having abs" but having that center from which everything from deep breath to good posture to heart centering radiates. Loved this and enjoyed the surprise of core work ❤
Hi yoga with Adriene, after completing this practice I can confirm you have abs of steel!! My midsection was on fire. Each time I looked at the screen you were poised while I must have looked like a fish flopping around when it’s out of water. Thanks for the burn and onto day 7!
I am automatically filled with dread whenever I see a core class, but in keeping with my intention of acceptance, I decided to surrender and just FLOW. Cannot believe how fast this class went, and I almost even enjoyed the core workout. Feeling strong, centered, and at peace. Thank you, Adriene, for always knowing what my body needs even when I'm not willing to admit it, and to the 8000 people around the world who practiced with me today! Namaste and much love from NYC 🙏🏼🤍
Thank you 💚 Adrienne!💚💚💚💚💚💚
I had a break for two days to give myself some time to heal from a small fall. My body had been craving movement and coming back to this session in the flow series was invigorating. I hope everyone is well and enjoying this yoga journey wherever you are. Namaste 🙏🏽💙
Thanks!
Wow amazing. Day 6 is usually not my favourite but I decided to enjoy the practice and notice what didn’t feel good when I was struggling and soften my face or where I was clenching until I heard Adriene say those magic words ‘you’ve got this, we’re here for….’ once I knew release was not far off I stuck with her and everyone practicing with me. I’m going away for a few days but my mat is going with me so I’ll see you all on the mat tomorrow. Enjoy your day.💕
Day 6, January 30th. It was harder to get on the mat today, but I did it. So glad I managed to almost all of movements. Just at the end I couldn't lower my legs properly so I just did micro movements. It's awesome how gently and smooth this practice came out for me. Thanks, Adriene and sweet Benji❤❤❤ Lots of love ❤️ Keep flowing together 🙏 Namaste
Day six!
Thank you for this video, Adriene, Benji, and the YWA team!
Today is my birthday! Core is definitely not my favourite, but I'm still glad that I showed up on this love and fun-filled day!
Thank you all for practising for me, and I'll see you tomorrow!
🤍🌱🤍
Happy birthday! Hope you had an awesome day and kudos to you for showing up on your special day 💜💚
Happy Birthday 🎉 what a wonderful gift to yourself💟
@@simranscammell6349 Thank you so much! ❤️
@@breann_ Thank you! I really appreciate it! ❤️
Happy Birthday!!
Ab work is not my favorite, but I trusted...and did it. By far, my favorite is the bridge pose, it feels so good.
Just turned 63 and love yoga with Adriene and Benni!
that was a tough one. Thanks for keeping me going through it in your usual gentle way. 🥰
This was lovely!
I'm pregnant(at the beginning of my third trimester) so I adapted the exercises to do most of it on the sides and not strain the belly and it still felt awesome to follow along.
As Day 5 practice reminded and thought us: our yoga is about our journey. Wherever we are in life. Adapting the practices is truly living them at our pace and it is beautiful and real.
Thank you Adriene, Benji, Team and Community for this shared time and space.
Thank you to the other 6.680 lovely people who practiced alongside me today. Sending lots of love out to this amazing Community.
🙏🏻💚
This is my first 30 day journey and hoooooo boy did not expect the copious amount of abs, but I'm very proud of myself for powering through and realizing that I have way more control than I thought I did. Fully expecting tomorrow to hurt in a good way
