Day 18 - Center | BREATH - A 30 Day Yoga Journey
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 січ 2021
- Building on yesterday’s exploration, this practice is about noticing if you are willing and available to check in with your true self each day. This is one of my favorite practice themes and HUGE in my personal body of work, which asks, “What is my relationship to center?”
Please do not miss this session as I include some of my favorite lessons for growing your practice both in asana and yogic philosophy. If you want to advance, do this work. Step into your power. Learn how to move from center.
We ease in today, so if you are tired or feeling unmotivated, I got you. Practice slowing down at the beginning of this session, then join me as we mindfully layer to POWER postures.
We will connect to subtle body gestures to make deeper discoveries that may (they will) support you both on and off the mat.
If you are already wondering what you will do when the 30 Days is over, don’t worry! I have a red carpet of options ready for you. I will share them soon.
Please, let me know how this session goes for you down below!

What does center feel like?
Why is center important?
May we use the tools of yoga to learn how to feel our center, to learn how to guide our way back to center, and to celebrate that it is a journey.
Center felt very pleasant today. I am trying to stay focused and stay motivated throughout thick and thin. Thank you so much Adriene for bringing 30 day practice to us. Can't thank you enough
Wow that was powerful. I really had to focus on center to lift my heels with my feet together. I guess dancers really have that center for sure. Ready for day 19 tomorrow. Namaste!
Thank you so much Adriene 🙏💕
My center is engaged and that is welcomed! Loved how Benji came to your head did downdog and gave you a blessing. 🙏💞
I felt so focused and awake during today's practice. Its getting more challenging and more interesting. You're drawing us deeper and deeper into it, thank you so much Adriene.
Benji in the opening clip of this video is the cutest EVER
I couldn't help but go back just to look at his chill self again!
@@shetheconcept same here haha
@@shetheconcept that warms my heart :)
His little face just loving Adriene so much was lovely to see, I had to go back a couple of times to look again, so adorable!
The bond between them is so beautiful 💕💕💕
It truly amazes me to realise that we were around two thousand people practising all together, breathing in sync 🤍 This is truly the best remedy to loneliness ❤️ I hope all of you beautiful people will have a wonderful day ✨ Sending love 🥰
It’s wonderful isn’t it, a fantastic thought that the community all around the world is breathing together! 💗
And a day full of wonder to you all!
Ikr! I find it amazing as well
And I was SO happy to read in our email today, that Adriene has something in store for us when BREATH is over! :)))
🥰🥰
So proud of everyone who’s kept at this for 18 Days! But this comment is for those who had to skip a day or 2 (or 3!) due to the circumstances. Life often gets in the way but I’m proud of you for shaking it off and coming back to the mat the next (or next next) day! There’s for love and admiration for you too!
I cried I really needed to read those kind words of you thank you so much ❤️❤️
I’ve been doubling up if I miss a day since many of the sessions are under 30 minutes.
I’m on day 18.....when it really should be day 24🤦♀️🙏 Life got in the way but imma keep going. Doing 2 lessons a day when I can to catch up
@@jessicaj206 same here! still very proud of our journey 💛
Life does get in the way and then yoga with Adriene brings us back to center! 💕🧘🏼♀️
Today was a special day for me in Yoga. I do yoga with adriene almost a year, every day, and today is the first time that I succeeded to stand in crow pose for around 3 seconds. I got really excited about it, I was finishing the rest of the practice smiling, and I couldn't wait to finish it and tell my brother, because we are both doing yoga, he is in the US and I am in Europe, so this connects us because we can talk about the time on the mat, feels like we are doing it together :D
That's fantastic! My goal is to get into crow for any amount of time. Great job!
Congratulations!!! It's so wonderful that your brother and you can share such a beautiful habit.
Way to go!!! I’m still working on mine 👏👏👏
So nice to read! Keep it going! I also connect with my sister doing it in another place. :)
Hi Irena! :) What is your profile picture? Looks awesome
I love how this is pretty much the only place on the internet where ALL the comments are positive and loving!
So true, like attracts like and love
Isn't it wonderful
that is so true, I never thought of it before. Not one negative comment, so rare these days online no matter what site you go to.
Absolutely! So well said! We need this more than ever! PEACE AND LOVE, EVERYONE!
No lie. It's pretty calm and I love it.
the crow pose not today, maybe not even tomorrow but definitely one day i will! namaste for this amazing community :)
Totally with you, this pose is a goal for me for 2021, but not today.
Crow, headstand, and anything where I balance! 2021!
Some day
Someday for me as well 😊
Some day for me too :-)
GUYS!!! Guys, I did the crow for the first time today!!! I'm so excited and delighted and I didn'tknow who else to share this with but you guys!
Ok, I didn't hold it for very long, but I still held it for a few seconds, which I'm so happy about! I'll keep building my strength to hold it for that bit longer.
Adriene, your tip about focusing on a point while getting into the pose instead of looking down/back at your feet really helped! Thank you!
I hope you all have a great day and practice and we'll meet again tomorrow! ❤🌿
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Jenny! I still can‘t do it so I can imagine how proud you are 😘❤️ lots of love from Germany
@@susannekaut7628 Thank you Susanne! I hope you get to do it soon! It has taken me a long time and I'm still building up strength to hold it longer😅 I believe in you and I hope you enjoy the moment when you do your first successful crow! Best of luck and wishes in the rest of Breath and your yoga practice too ❤ Love from Ireland 😁
@@Girlo98 Thank you so much Jenny! I will keep on practicing. Lots of love back to Ireland 🙋🏻♀️
Me too! I am so happy!! I've been doing the 30 days videos since last April and crow pose was always frustrating. Today was the first time I managed to lift my both feet and hold them. And it felt good! I was wondering why, maybe because the whole practise was focusing on center, making us more aware of it for this pose, but also the way Adriene explained how to move the center up. Happy for you too =)
Gonna be honest I was feeling frustrated when I could not do the crow pose, but you know what? That’s ok. I gotta be patient with myself and show up daily so I can improve.
Jumping Joy, I’m so with you on the frustration of not doing crow pose! I started to have negative feelings and then did my best to change those feelings into positive ones and told myself to look forward to the one day I will do it, however far into the future it may be. I think we have to be honest about those feelings and acknowledge them in order to grow.
Me too, I couldn't do it! My whole body is shaking now 😂 that was tough
Same, I was feeling frustrated too
me too. like i got really, really frustrated and i still am angry about it.
A fellow one who wasn't even close to doing it (I mean how are my arms meant to support my knees?). And couldn't help feel a little frustrated. But both are totally fine. Imagine how lucky we are to have that whole journey in front of us. And for showing up in spite.
Haiku for Day 18
here’s to all the crows
chipping out of their shells and
learning they have wings
Love this so much!
Beautiful!
gorgeous!
crying! love u!
Reading this hit me in a special place, thank you
Just about ready to center myself, can’t believe i’ve done yoga every day of this month. ✨
Proud of you! I’m here with you!
👏🏻👍🏻❤
I hear that, I was on the 30 day Revolution program just before this one. Well done 👍🏾
🤗🤸🏽♀️🙏
@@hannabakker8721 thank you it’s great to be in a supportive community ✨
shoutout to the people that are a day or two "late" (🙋🏼♀️) but are still doing their best to not give up on the challenge!!
Yes!
Delayed, not giving up!

@@evadk2000 :)
Thank you to the Eugenia's amongst you who are with us who aren't in sync! I haven't counted the days I've got behind because I've had three personal huge losses this year :-( (3xalready ?!), but Adrienne and I both know commitment is the compass, front, right and Centre! Here till the end. Thanks YOGIS xxx
When Adrienne said just be patient and wait for the others to find their blocks or dvds that hit me really hard. I was like oh she is right I have to patient I am not alone in this. I am not alone in life. We all have to be patient with each other and learn and grown thru each other. Hope everyone found their center today or got a little closer. ❤
yeah, that was very meaningful to me too. I really loved that Adriene gave us that very important teaching but with so much love and mindfulness.
Same here! I get impatient sometimes now that I’ve been doing yoga for over a year and I want to move faster, but moving faster isn’t always better it’s about how you move and use your breath. what she said resonated with me and reminded me to do just that.
Dear Adrienne, you are a gifted teacher. You’ve always been a natural, guiding us with ease. However, with this journey, you’ve broken through to yet a higher level, and it is magical. Thank you so very much.
YES. Totally agreed - to a higher level. I couldn't find the words to describe this. Thank You.
💕
So much so.
💯❣️
I agree. Another level
Always love when she says “let’s begin lying down.” 🌸🌙💓
It's so cold in my house I prefer diving right in haha. I sit with a blanket around me for beginning meditations lol.
@@colourcraze a cosy blanket is ALWAYS a good idea 💡
Here’s to all the people taking weekends off and are 7 or 8 days late but still going 😂
That's me!😜
You don't know how nice it was to find your comment! Due to circumstances, I've also missed yoga on a couple weekdays, but glad that there's someone else here! Doing yoga five days a week has been the most active I've been in my life so I'm hoping to continue going even if I'm days behind
I stopped on this day cause at the time, I just couldn't find the strength to do such a long practice. I've gone a little on and off but today I'm so proud to be back at it ❤️I'm so happy someone else feels the same way
me
I'm with ya!
Today is my 100th day straight practicing! Thank you Adriene, thank you Benji, and thank you community!!! This is the only comment section on the internet that inspires me day after day--thank you all for your joy!
When you own your BREATH, nobody can steal your peace. I hope you all have a beautiful day!❤️
Thank you! Enjoy yours too!
You too Holly, hope it’s a better day for you. Wise words 🙏🏽 ♥️ 🧘🏼♀️
@@natrisp6809 Much better, thank you 🤗
@@hajlana ❤️🙂
You too, Holly! 💖💖💖
One day, I will fly in crow pose. Today was not that day. But I will keep coming back to my centre. Awesome practice today!
"If downward dog is a dreaded pose for you"....that was actually nice to hear as I really struggle to be comfortable in that pose. I can't get my heels to the floor, my wrists hurt...it is just uncomfortable. I kinda felt alone in these feelings so to hear that and then the advice to keep looking for a new sensation really helped today! Thanks so much!
My knees are always at a slight bend and my ankles are always way off the floor, but that's okay!
One of my yoga teachers said to me that the "perfect" downward dog is the one that makes you feel better in your body. 💗
Getting heels down is one of those goals to work for & one of mine. I notice when I practice regularly they actually get lower! As Adriene has said in the past - yoga is a “practice” so we can always improve.
to put your heels perfetly to the mat with your legs nearly straight like all the instructors are doing it, you need at least a year of regular stretching practise to achieve that as a rather inflexible person.
I also find downward dog one of the most uncomfortable poses (I think I actually prefer plank!). I might be able to get my heels down, but I can't actually breathe...! I hope you (and I) keep it up and keep finding new sensations until one day we suddenly find that we're happy in downward dog. 😁
I hate that pose! I can't get my hands to stop sliding on my mat. I've tried putting down different types of towels but nothing has been able to help. I can't help but get incredibly frustrated whenever downward dog comes along.
i skipped three days but managed to come back and i couldn't imagine a better practice to return to 😌
Lol us too! Me and my sister (on video chat) do it every year for 4 years now, never missed a day. This year we are caring for our elderly mom, kids in virtual high school, job problems... people problems (ha ha) and we had to miss a couple. At first we were feeling guilty then we both looked at each other and said “WWAS..(what would Adriene say?)
Just get back on the mat is what she would say. It’s not a competition she would say, it’s a process. We laughed when we realized “how would Adriene know anyways” “is she watching us? Sending out the Yoga police?”
We will just hop back on where we left off and finish, it will still be 30 days of yoga. Did Adriene make a rule that it had to be 30 consecutive days? Absolutely not!!
Love you Adriene for allowing us all to be right where we are at and promising to meet us there. You got us and we got this!!
now, whenever I feel lonely, I think about this whole community of us here, practicing yoga together, sharing our stories and connecting through comments, all united by the lovely Adriene. I'm so grateful for you all!
I feel exactly the same ❤️it's so beautiful
Yes!
Day 18 and still the hardest part is showing up. I’m here, who’s with me?
Yes! That little mantra of just showing up has got me here-every day. And my little ritual of a cup of tea nearby helps too!
I hear you
Honestly almost skipped today but didn’t and so glad I didn’t!
Adrienne always makes me feel accomplished for showing up... then I think about how she shows up every day for us, in front of cameras, giving instruction to a million invisible people... she is super human 🙏
I love how Adriene always says "hug your lower ribs in" and never "suck in your stomach." So much more body positive.
It might sound cute, but those are actually two different things :)
Yep, it's just practicality. Sucking in your stomach doesn't give you the muscular tone and stability that hugging in the lower ribs does.
There are certain pranayamas and kriyas in which you do suck in your stomach though, just not in this journey.
@@axelmont Truly wasn't looking for a yoga lecture from internet randos, just noting something that makes me feel more positive as I practice.
Oh my 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼. My father did calisthenics every evening between work and dinner. I’ve never seen anyone else do much less explain the alternate leg out, leg to knee move. I hadn’t even thought about it in years! When I was little, I couldn’t do it with him. When I was an adult... he passed in 2001. I’m grateful you brought him into this practice with us ❤️🙏🏼❤️. Now I can do it. And he’s on the mat with me. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so proud I've stuck with this series and haven't missed a single day. I'm going to try to keep going after this and make yoga an everyday practice. Thank you Adriene for these free wonderful practices!
I’m the same. Been doing the 30 day series since they started but have never stuck to one like I have this one. Feel so proud of myself! Well done you too 🥰
@@hazelcarpenter3499 Congratulations, that's great!
Well done! 👏🏼 I can’t believe we made it this far. We CAN do it 🙏🏼💙
I was in a similar position this time last year and made it through the year, missing a handful of days along the way. What helped was to always do something, even a short 10 minute meditation, if I wasn’t up for the suggested video that day. Know that I’m rooting for you.
You go girl!
May you have a wonderful day, whenever you're reading this 💛🌞
Thank you,wishing you the same!
Thank you 🙏🏾 and you 😉
To those of you who think you can't do it: the first time I did this journey I had to take soooo many breaks during crow pose. I definitely felt that shake. Today I got my toes off the ground... Just an inch, but I did it, and I have never felt so accomplished. I believe in you. ❤️
Just finished day 18. I remember last year when I participated in the Home journey I got really discouraged when I couldn’t do the crow pose. I wasn’t able to today either but I found myself being more forgiving and focusing on the fact that I made it to day 18 babyyy! Congrats to everyone who made it here too, you’re doing amazing.
in an era where we have grown accustomed to getting everything instantly, and developed such a short attention span ( via social media tools like tiktok, insta stories, snaps etc...) this serie is such a great way to learn patience and appreciate slowing down.
I'm very energetic and fast-paced by myself, so being able to take 30-40 minutes a day to slow things down has become such a corner stone for my well-being in general
Anyone else imagined everyone else with whom you are doing this practice with? (I’m getting a great deal off support out of my imaginary yoga friend called Anne who is having short hamstrings just like mine. Giggling true the forward folds together when our fingers can’t reach the ground).. or is this just me being crazy 😜
I'm joining the working-on-our-hamstring-club, let's giggle together (let's keep it positive)! 😄 My name is Mercedes, I'm from Austria. 😊
@@zrafklomani1 That's Amazing! Love and giggles from Holland!!
Actually, my name is Tricia and I'm not imaginary at all. 😜 I don't think my heels will ever reach the ground in downward dog, but oh well.
@@triciamoss9074 Amazing to know you were always there 🥰 great to know your name ☺️
I'll join in the short hamstring club :) I tend to laugh a lot too, especially when Adriene folds over while seated and I can't seem to move an inch from just seating upright 😆 (but that may just be my overall stiffness, not just the hamstrings)
Love from Utrecht ❤
Me: (getting impatient)
Adriene: "If you're getting impatient, just remember..."
The best ❤❤❤
Benji was being absolutely SO CUTE right at the beginning. LOVE HIM
I may have only got both of my feet off the ground for a second in crow pose, but you can bet I was excited about it 😂
I have never managed. I'm still blaming it on weak arms and a heavy butt. 😄
Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@ZitaM 😂 yes me too. Heavy butt, weak arms and thunder thighs. We will get there, one pose at a time. See tomorrow on the mat. X
@@ZitaM ahah :)
I know that feeling, I managed ONCE! Congratulations!
I can’t believe we are already at day 18. Time flies when you are enjoying the journey. Thank you and namaste.
I know! I'm amazed that I've kept with it for EIGHTEEN days!!! So cool!
Day 18 of the journey
It was a challenging practice in today's calm.
I couldn't do Bakasana, but for a moment I felt like I could stand with only the support of my hands.
When I moved with awareness of my center, I felt like I was breathing stronger, deeper, and
hotter than usual.
May your body and mind be fulled with lots of love.
Thank you for everything ❤️
From Kyoto, Japan
I missed this practice by a day and was feeling a little bummed out. I was struggling with rocking into crow pose, which has always been a little discouraging for me. I've been doing YWA videos for about two years now, and I've never gotten close to actually balancing in crow. But after the practice today I just had to keep trying, and I DID IT. I stayed in crow for a few seconds, and I popped off like crazy afterward! Thank you for this practice, Adriene!
senior citizen check-in I’m on vacation but started my day with this beautiful practice. namaste
I was really daunted when I saw Crow Pose in the video thumbnail (I have been struggling with this one!!), but approaching it from center made a huge difference! I mean, I still fell forward in spectacularly graceless fashion, but...I got closer this time! 😁 Thanks Adriene! Have an incredible practice everyone! ❤️❤️❤️
@@andrewmcloughlin1642 Hahaha! Thanks Andrew!! 😁😂
I hadn’t even realized how impatient I was being when you would entertain certain modifications for my fellow yogi’s until you pointed it out. Practice is about patience not perfection. Thank you
So, I'm here like 6 months late. I've been trying to do this for months but with so much going on in life it's pretty difficult to me to keep doing it daily. Besides that I feel like I should be proud of myself for showing up, even though I am not doing the way it's supposed to. Adriene always give me so much peace and I feel like she's a friend you know? Just thankful that she exists and brings so many good things to our lifes
I'm Spanish and I like when she says words in my native language ❤️
Más españolas por aquí!! :) A mi tb me hace reír mucho cuando lo hace ;)
Me encanta ♥️
@@mariariosmorales2169 Mejico-Americano por aqui. El Paso, Tx. Saludos!
I always told myself that I couldn't hold my own body weight...cut to today and holding a 10 second plank because I'm actually doing it correctly lol. It's nice to prove others wrong, but it's even better to prove yourself wrong! :)
Awesome job!
so so proud of you!!!!!
hearing the song at the end reminds me of the music they use in 'Inception' to wake people from the dreamstate. I just spent the last 36 minutes in Yoga land!
I started later in the month, but my body and mind and mood are loving this daily practice. I feel strength building, my body opening, and my mind clearing. Thank you for your encouragement and presence! You make yoga accessible and possible for many of us who haven't been able to stick with it over the years.
Same here. I'm two days behind you! And completely agree with you.
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I could barely get through the session and had to take numerous breaks because mentally I was not "there". Today, the session felt like minutes. Committed to showing up every day, even if every day isn't the "best" me.
I’m 6th month pregnant and must exchange/skip some asanas, but I’m still keeping up with you guys 🥰 already 4th year with 30 day journey 💕
Kudos to you 🙌🏼🙏🏻💜
God bless you dear 🙏🏽❤️
Ohhh I just found Im pregnant so I was thinking I wouldn’t be able to do yoga like this anymore but you gave me hope!!
@@alexandraa5635 congratulations! just listen to your body 💕 and avoid asanas that are not recommended during pregnancy 🤰🏼
@@alexandraa5635 congratulations !!!!!!!
i hopped on the mat after fixing a flat tire, but somehow i was filled with JOY. today’s practice had me realizing how little self confidence i’ve had in my life, and how that has correlated to my CENTER. this journey really has shown me just how much I LOVE yoga, and how much it really is about just showing up and really checking in! not gonna lie- i have been a bit distracted the past few videos, but i still showed up and really tried to check in with my breath. and i will continue to do that every day! my goal is to get to the point where i do yoga every day. whether it’s with adriene and this lovely community, or just by myself playing around.
I LOVE YOU ALL. see you tomorrow. namaste 🙏🏽
When she said "I love you so much" 🥺We love you too Adriene!
Crow pose didn't happen today but still proud of how my body managed the rest of the practice 🙂 it's so empowering to know everyone here is cheering each other on ❤️ sending love and good vibes to all. Have a wonderful day x
Ok so just did this CENTERING practice and I totally surprised myself when I could actually feel my center engaged ad helping to lift me up on my toes in Tadasana and lo and behold also to get both my knees up from the ground in crow pose, even if it was for just a few seconds. Will try and keep Adriene’s words in mind as I try to focus my attention on moving with my Centre engaged when I get off the mat today. Can’t wait to see what I experience next on this wonderful journey. Also so far, even though I cannot see any physical change, I feel lighter in my center and mind as I’m learning to accept what my body can do now as opposed to what it can’t and that has made such a difference. I have chosen to let go of that which is no longer serving me and I find myself open to receive both in mind and body and heart. So thank you so much for that Adriene ❤️
You will FEEL change (and sounds like you already are!) before you SEE change - and the biggest surprise for me was realizing that the feeling ended up being much more important and meaningful! The center lifting you up that you describe sounds strong, powerful and fabulous....that's YOU! Enjoy.
You have described it so beautifully. Great job, keep it going!
Center, for me, is that place where my stillness resides. No matter what is happening externally, my center is always a gentle flowing river that I can return to when I get caught up and forget that my truest form lives there. Wishing you all deep peace and thanks to all who practiced with me.
Morning loves! 🌈❤🌈❤ Anyone else start this beautiful practice at the start of February? I'm here for you!❤🌈❤🌈❤🌈 After suffering post COVID symptoms, and doing gentle yoga to ease pains, I started February with intent to make it through this 30 day practice. Sending love and light to you all around the world and thank you Adrienne for always keeping me smiling through the practices, I sing along with you😍😍😍😍 xxx
This is my third year of YWA 30 day journey. Never thought Yoga would be a go to work out for me. But as I turn 57 yr of age next month, I can say, I’m really enjoying the gained strength, flexibility, meditation and focus. Keep up the great work Adriene and fellow yogies
Centre right! just as my mother videocalls me mid practice, this difficult lady is the reason I am needing psychotherapy and my yoga, so I ignore this demanding old bird who did not give me that unconditional love every kid needs.Back to centre, breathe.
The crow pose was a struggle for me! It felt so awkward and difficult as I lifted one foot a time, I even fell over once. I realized though through Adriene's words it was not about the pose but about bringing what I've learned to the pose and focusing on my center, and my hand to earth connection. It was a liberating feeling when I realized that. And even though it was still a struggle I feel more confident to try again next time!
To those of you who may be frustrating with crow pose... keep at it!!! I wasn't able to do it today because my wrist just weren't feeling it. But... I have practiced it randomly after some of the other videos in the past and just a couple of weeks ago, was able to do crow pose and actually hold it! I leapt around the house so excited. I just kept practicing at other times other than during the video. So keep going and you'll find yourself doing it before you know it. Love to Adriene and my fellow yogi's! Namaste!
Sooo grateful for your service. And the community you allow us to build of like minded beautiful souls
This came in the right time! I’m feeling a little anxious today.. my medical license exam is nearing and I’m this 👌🏻 close to graduating med school.. guess future anxiety has been kicking my butt hahaha 🥲 I’m sending everyone watching this love and peace, you all are cared for and more than worthy of happiness.

Great job making it to the mat if you are starting this now. May you enjoy this practice and have a wonderful day ahead ❤️
I feel you 😉. Have a nice day and later on enjoy yourself this nice practice
@@cleo2526 Thank you 😊 These practices are my 'me-time' rewards to do in peace
In awe that you usually do yoga BEFORE the little one gets up. I don't think I ever managed that! Just wow! Hope you get chance later in the day, but let it be no biggy if you don't. There's masses of off-the-mat yoga to experience when we also have young children around us ;) We just have to keep coming back to the mat. Have a lovely day both of you x
This journey has been a lovely break for me from my 24/7 job of taking care of my toddler
Thanks girl, do your thang and fuljoy. Have a positive day☀️
That last "I love you so much" brought a tear to my eye! Thank you!
I am doing this series again because I love it. Today, while in plank, my beautiful cat, Pepper, came and curled up right under my centre! I missed one Cobra due to this! Yoga cat! Love it. xxx
I am so amazed and grateful when I think that we are receiving this wonderful tutorial for free along with all the support and love 🤗 Thank you Adriene and your team x
So proud of me and you all, we are still practicing together 💕
so many GEMS here. i so respect how you brought up the struggle with impatience during the DVD/yoga block moment - any parts that don't speak to us directly...choosing to experience viewing it as a moment to explore and check in is of such value and opportunity. i felt empowered after that session.
Adriene: “ok, lower onto belly from plank.”
My cat: *walks underneath me before I can lower to the floor*
Me: “I guess I live in plank now.”
You live in plank meow
Today was just wonderful. I struggled a lot during this month with feeling very low in energy and sometimes even had to pause the videos to manage them. But today I felt very strong, connected to myself and even though the video was long it felt like a breeze :) Thank you
Yay! :)
Keep up the good you are doing for yourself!! You deserve this!!!
THANK YOU! Anyone else feel not necessarily impatient when Adriene 'talks so much' but more anxious about spending more time on one side than the other?
I struggle with this too! I either pause it and do the other side for a bit or come out of the pose completely to make sure it’s evened out - it’s ok! Otherwise I get super frustrated and I can’t enjoy her little talks, which are great, but please not in the middle of a left sided plank hahaha
Oh god yes. I so often worry about being "uneven" or something, when it feels like one side is getting more attention than the other... Guess it's a good opportunity to practice trusting that it will be fine even if it doesn't feel perfect.
Dang, thank you for bringing us all together, from all parts of the world, uniting in something so powerful, yet so gentle. Namaste!
After years of not being able to accomplish crow pose I was finally able to get my feet off the ground and accomplish it for a few seconds !! Thank you Adriene ❤️❤️❤️
Crow is always a struggle for me and today I was reminded that it is still a struggle. However, I thought of the phrase that is said so often here in our little village "petit à petit l'oiseau fait son lit." I need to remember patience.
Yes, it took me several months of practicing it every day to be able to fly it but once you do you'll never stay on the grown ever again. So yes, it is "persevere and you will triumph". See you on the mat!!💕
Anyone else occasionally look at the initial freeze frame pic and think, "Uh oh." :) Still, the good thing about committing to this daily is that I don't hem and haw about whether I want to do it or not. I'm doing it. Just with a smidge more trepidation than I would otherwise. Day 18, attempted crow and all, is in the books!
Yes, definitley! I was feeling very afraid 😨 but it wasn't bad at all. Exactly what my body needs actually. Did I do a beautifully graceful crow pose, nope. Do I now have the foundation and tools and desire to continue to try, Yes indeed!
Yay, thank you wonderful 140 people practicing with me (or even if you coming after this)! It was an honor!
This is a beautiful community. I've been doing yoga with Adriene for years now but honestly never read any of the comments. Reading about all of y'alls experience while I'm discovering my own is simply spectacular and I'm so happy I was led to start reading what you all have to say. Cheers to Adriene and her team for bringing us together and to all of us for doing our best. We all get distracted and detoured but we come back when we're ready! Kudos. Peace and Love Everyone!
I've found my soulmate, it's myself :D
My cake is in the oven and I'm ready to do my practice and then have an after-yoga-party!!! 😊😝
Did you bring enough cake to share with all of us? Hmm... Well maybe next time?
I have never felt more connected to my own center. That sweet, light place that allows me to truly tap into the now and become aware of my own power and energy in this world. I am finally unlocking the confidence and courage I have always had, but could never truly discover. After today's practice, I felt so enlightened that I was able to truly explore what it means to be present in my body. Committing to BREATH is single-handedly the best choice I have ever made when it comes to my yoga practice (and arguably in life!). I completed HOME and felt changed forever, but this year's journey is on a whole other level. Thank you to all of you who make this experience happy and proud. I know there is always someone out there who will appreciate me and how far I've come. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! LET GO. LET THE BREATH GUIDE YOUR WAY. Thank you, Adriene, for the best gift I have ever received. It's something I've always had, but never appreciated or found a love for. Thank you.
somehow you saying “I love you so much” felt very special today 🥰 thank you for this journey!
✨🌟 The most look-forward-to “me-time” of the day, right next to sleep! Thank you Adriene & community! 🌟✨🤗🙏
What a difference connecting to the center makes!
Chaotic. That's how I've felt recently when she asks us to check in with our feelings... so many feelings swirling around chaotically within me... with an overarching feeling that I need to forgive myself for... all the things I hold myself accountable for...
I have been enjoying your videos since 2017 when I was leaving in Paris for a while and needed it to bring my yoga routine with me.. It brought me so much joy, fulfillment and alignment with God and myself; never forgot. I've been following you since then ☺️
Thank you for your Charisma and love 🧡
Love the way each practice builds on the one that came before. I have loved each practice as well, and want to revisit each of them. I'm committing to start the series over again when it finishes. Thank you for this gift.
7 a.m. in Germany! Happy to practice with all of you lovely people ...and pets ;)
Good morning from Germany as well! We were practicing together 😊 wishing you a wonderful day!
Good morning from Cyprus 🤗 x
Thank you and see you tomorrow
I can't stop laughing, I just did my first crow pose!!
Last year I couldn't do it, y ahora me salió bien.
¡Nos vemos mañana, Adriene!
This is a pre-yoga comment. Today, I feel kinda sore of all the days practices... I'm tired, so my way to the mat has become a difficult one (only today). I'm changing into my yoga clothes as I write, and seeing the miniature and just dreading today a little bit. But I'm going to try. Because I compromised and I want to do it. 36 minutes. Here I come.
I was closer to crow than i thought, it made me so happy! Sending love to all :)
Me at first: 'Adriene has a bun, power poses here we come' 💪😜
I saw that bun and thought, "on the floor, for sure, so her hair doesn't get in the way".
I TOTALLY FRICKIN DID CROW POSE! After 138 days of yoga, I finally did it. I'm so proud of myself.
Thank you Adriene! I have watched your videos and have practiced for 23 days straight...I still can't believe it. Now I'm on late on this challenge but still here even if its the last thing I do before bed. Good luck to everyone else still here. YOU GOT THIS!!!
Loved the practice today. Have just done crow pose for the first time ever and held it for 3 breaths!!! I’ve been trying for ages and finally got there.
Awesome, well done! First crow is an amazing feeling
Well done...not there yet, but will be one day! :))
I came to the mat feeling overwhelmed, sad, depressed, anxious and frustrated. I didnt think i could start my day or even do a yoga session, but now i feel so much better, not quite good - but more calm, more positive, more centered.
I hope you all feel better or good, too
I am really in a bad mood today, same like you...now feel a little bit more positive...thanks for sharing ❤️from germany
@@Alexa-rk7lp good to hear that it brightened your mood as well, i hope you will feel better soon :) Love from Germany as well
Sending you ❤️ from Canada! Way to persevere & to feeling a bit better after the session. Keep up the tough work, you’re worth it! 🤗💖
i felt the sameeee. thank you for sharing your experience ❤️
That's how I felt coming to the mat today, but I got here eventually, though it's 2:22am! Feeling a bit better though. I leave for work at 3:30am
Benji is so chill in the intro!! My cat sits with me every yoga session and watches Benji when he starts moving around haha. Yoga pets unite!😂🙏
My body felt heavy and sore today. After finding my center, I feel lighter and less tender. WE got this!
I loved some of the sensations I experienced here this morning. There was an emotional moment on the mat as I connected with myself and realized that I am an amazing person. I’ve recently entered into a serious battle for my health and I’m realizing that the world needs me to be around for a long time and that I am worth the battle. I deeply appreciate Adriene for leading the journey and all of those who also join. It feels like you’re all around me and I am not alone.
You are worth the battle! Breathe and fight. We’re all here breathing with you. 💛
Adored that. So joyful. ‘Da Bears’ 😂😂💙💙🥰🙏🏻
I've been kind of on and off with this series, not really using it as a daily practice as intended, but still really glad its here when I have the time!
This practice helped me in so many ways. I get completely entranced in your guiding and feel for the first time I can really get there in my yoga practice… You are such a great mix of spiritual, easy-going, fun, hilarious at times, but so peaceful and so YOURSELF. It’s obvious you’re fully in it and it makes people really understand what this is all about. All your cues and hints resonate with me more than any instructor I’ve experienced, and it feels like “she GETS me!” LOL.
My puppy isn’t exactly as zen as Benji but we’re having a good time over here.
Thank you for making me see yoga in a whole different light.
With love, Renee and Kobe :)
I’m loving these 30 days. I have to make adjustments (a lot) because of my back pain but today, lying down with my knees up I felt my center turn on for the first time in months. Started shaking a little (“don’t hate the shake”) and actually felt this core strength in my body. My center. I know now it will heal and I will be strong again. Thank you so much Adriene, Benji and team for these wonderful practices.
Thank you Adriene for taking the time to share your gifts and passion to add value and hope to this community.
It’s challenging and fun to discover our individual journeys together. To really discover the awareness of our bodies, our breath and thoughts in space is exhilarating. More importantly bringing this awareness and these tools to the world in our lives to serve as you are is what I look forward to the most. I’m finding that we do need this time for us in order to step in our lives and live freer, with more love and buoyancy. Pleasure sharing with you all.
I usually practice in the evening (because I wake up very early in the morning) and I love the energy that yoga give me: when is time to slow down and the day is nearly over, I still have energy to do this with all of you!! I’m so thankfull for all I have: energy, time and you 💕🙏🏻
