      I'm having a weird pain going throw my body effecting my left ribs amd my right kidney. I had neck surgery 13 years ago. I am now suspecting my nerves in my neck are affecting my ribs and organ disfunction after they checked my organs my blood and that I have no kidney stone to obstruct my kidney. They are all baffled and are sending me for an MRI. I'm now wondering if the nerves in my neck where I had the surgery are causing all this and it makes me wonder if organ failure, in mysterious cases is directly related to that very thing.

    I need to take a moment to say that I have had frozen shoulders for about 4 years from working in pipefitting. And about a year of recurring neck immobility and pain where my right shoulder would turn into a rock and go into spasm.
    I practically cured it with this routine. At one point I was letting my arms down and my shoulders let out an otherworldly amount of cracks as if they JUST released all of the tension they’ve been carrying the past 4 years. It feels incredible and I have only you to thank. My wife is a HUGE fan and she told me to try this. So glad I did. Thank you so much. You’re a fantastic human.

      I have had frozen shoulder in both shoulders now. 2 years apart. Now I am dealing with tendinitis in one shoulder. So going to try this. I've been doing her 30 days this month and doing fine since I had a cortisone shot in my arm, but it wore off this past weekend and so sore when holding my arm over my head at an angle. So disappointing! Wanted to finish this month pain free! So taking it easy with the routines and doing what I can do. I'll definitely be doing this for neck and shoulders! Great to read your comment and know I'm not alone with this!!

    I tend to turn to yoga alot when I'm anxious, depressed, etc. (as well as tight) and so by extension I end up turning to your videos in times of need, it wasn't purposeful, I literally just youtubed "yoga for anxiety" and stumbled upon it. You've weirdly talked me through breakdowns, breakups, deaths, and long days in general, so just wanted to say thank you, love the subtle bits of humor and your constant reminders of "letting go"

    Hey Adriene, I have been doing this video just over a year now and it completely healed my neck. But recently I woke up with extreme neck pain again. When I did the video and you talked about not seeing two sides or both sides, that comment finally resonated with me! I am struggling with a personal issue and realized I hadn't ever taken the time to see the situation from the other's perspective. I had a peaceful sleep last night with positive dreams about the person. So thank you!!!

    Today I was desperate to try anything to avoid a visit to the ER. My pain was at a level 10+. I'm under pain management, nothing is working, and the ER was going to charge me a huge co pay for short term relief. So I did what I could in the video and now I'm crying because my pain has significantly decreased to a 6/7. I'm giving myself an hour and trying this routine again. I wish you could feel what I feel right now.

I’ve had a rough couple of weeks with heightened anxiety and I kept feeling like my neck stiffness was related to that. Doing this practice not only released my neck stiffness - about halfway through it I started to feel tears coming on and I cried the rest of the way. Really made me sit with my emotions. Acknowledged my body and mind and feel the better for it!

      That's sweet that you do exercise with your daughter. People underestimate how much stress & tension children can hold in their muscles because they are so resilient overall. I am aware of this because i remember when i was a kid i would give my parents v high quality massage & then when it was my turn they would always say i didn't need as much because i was still young. haha gdi. Actually, i think the amount of tension most adult humans hold in their bodies is probably to an unhealthy extreme that no animal was ever meant to reach.

    Hi, Adrienne! I just realized while doing this workout that your constant reminders to tuck the hips, heart over hips, head over heart, and imagine that string pulling straight up is having a positive effect on my crumbling spine. I suffer from debilitating osteoarthritis in my spine, with bone spurs, crumbling vertebrae, and degenerative disc disease, with some locations completely missing discs. I had been limited to 2 hours of easy activities out of bed per day. By doing your gentle yoga a minimum of 3 times per week, more when able, I'm now able to manage 3 hours per day out of bed! Thank you so much for decreasing my pain, and for improving my health and my life! Soon I might be able to begin painting again or, dare I hope, to go out to lunch, shopping, or museums again! Maybe eventually back to work part time? Thanks for giving me back a little bit of a life! You are an angel!

    Dear Adriene, I am so glad to have found your videos on UA-cam years ago, because whenever I need it I know you have the right thing to help me with! I had incredible relaxation in my shoulders and my whole body after this and it was exactly what I needed. Not only that but also your wise words to go along with it. I think I know why I had such tensed shoulders and neck and now I am starting to let go! Namaste and thank you!!

    When you talked about how stress creates tension in the body I felt my eyes begin to water uncontrollable as my mind and body finally connected together. I have had this pain for a long time. I also felt a tear run down my cheek at the end. To some people yoga might be an every day norm but this stretch has awakened a deeper part of my soul. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And your voice is very soothing. Your language is clear and helpful. Great teacher.

I’ve been fighting and recovering from some nearly fatal blood infections the last 4 years, and the last 3 I have been 99% bed bound and often unable to even sit up. Most yoga is completely out of my realm of possibility, but on my good days I can do this whole routine in bed!! It’s SO healing and restorative for me, and I come back over and over! My muscles have atrophied horribly, and this helps me strengthen and restore my body’s alignment. I know I don’t know you, but I feel like you are a dear friend who comes to my house just to encourage and help me! Thank you SO much for putting out these videos, I am ever so grateful! 💗.
