I often hear from people that they cannot do yoga because they are not flexible enough.
But being flexible is really the art of being open and available.
Open and available to what is current and present.
It’s an inside job, this… space… making.
We can start with the body but remember what the great yoga guides have shown us…
The body is a metaphor.
And I am no expert, but I suspect… there is a lot to balance and uncover.
This week we meditate on flexibility as conscious openness.
Booyah. Enjoy!
Yoga With Adriene Thank you very much for sharing this video...it helped me very much
Yes! When people say they are too inflexible to practice yoga, that is like saying they are too dirty for a shower! Just do it and you will feel better, and get more in tune with the sensations (and the shapes). Thanks again for a great practice, Adriene!
Yoga With Adriene i
Yoga With Adriene Hello there! I really enjoy your videos. I’m curious if you have an Arthritis practice, or if you have plans to record one in the future.
I so needed this. Thank you x
“You can’t control everything, you don’t control everything”
I needed that.
Princess Consuela Banana Hammock me too
I love your name 😌
i love your name hahhaha :D My name is Regina Phalange. It's a pleasure to meet you.
SAMEEEEEEEE
I came here after watching friends... Phoebe😯
What the.. that felt like 2 minutes.
I felt the same way, but that means we've made progress within. Ive done her videos off and on for years. Now a days I do them as needed due to minor health issues, but the progress is still happening. So cool!
It took so long
Right
ikr!!
Omg right!!!?
I set myself the goal for 2022 of doing 50 consecutive days of yoga, in the hope that achieving that would mean it would become a regular habit, rather than something I do in chunks when I have time off work. Today I reached my 50th day and it feels amazing! Thank you to Adriene and the community for the motivation and inspiration.
Way to go!!!!🎉🎉🎉Namaste❤️💚💛
Keep it up! You're doing a great job!
This practice was just what my body needed today. I especially benefited from Adriene's reminder "We do not control everything. We cannot control everything." Be flexible, go with the flow.
I love a good sequence that doesn't involve downward dog every 5 seconds.
Absolutely!!! Too many DWD's really put me off.
Great practice thanks adriane
Sister you're speaking to my soul right there. So much goddamn downward dog in most crappy yoga videos. I like having blood in my head, but DAMN. lol
downward dog is supposed to be a "resting" pose in a flow if you can believe it XD I guess it's all relative
Downward dogs are great! They make me sweat and feel fire behind my neck!! Super good for the back too!
Who else is trying to become flexible during quarantine?
I'm on day 7 of the Home 30 Days of Yoga and I can touch my toes again.
bkrangel well you’re ahead of me😬👍
meee - best project I've ever undertaken.
Me lol
Louis Pride i’m already hella flexible but that’s what boredom does
Felt good to start the week with this one!
Blossom day 21. 505 days in a row.
Happy Sunday William! Yes, this practice was a jewel and an awesome lead into meditation and my cardio day. Nice to see you in our virtual class again. Namaste & Ase! 🦋❤🦋
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 Nice to see you too!☆
@@williamb7275 Thank you kindly! 🦋❤🦋
Adriene’s love letter this week about how this winter has been hard for her was such a warm hug. Our teacher sometimes seems superhuman. When she shows vulnerability it reminds me how much we are capable of even when we don’t feel that way all the time.
My cat was sitting on my lap at the beginning, and when Benji walked offscreen she got up and looked behind my laptop to see where he went!
Thats soo cuute 😆
Woowww lol 💓
hahah thats so cute
Haha
Awwww 💓 this just reminded me of one time that I had a frog making a noise on the video and my dog was trying to investigate the laptop to see where the frog was or how to get him out!
Update: I have been doing this everyday for the past month and a half and I feel amazing. It's increased my flexibility and helped my lower back pain.
Jerald Thanks for the update! I was considering making this particular video a part of my bedtime routine so now I think I will. Much appreciated! 💜
@@magicalbooknerd I was debating doing a lil time lapse of me doing this video as a starting point and hopefully in a few months I can do the same thing again and see my improvement
Thats great!!
This is day 1 for me and I'm hoping I can last 6 weeks like you and sort out my knee pain.
Just what i needed this morning. As a bonus a video that i had not done before so i was able to "like" it. :) Anybody here fallowing the feb calander ?
As an almost 70 yr old, I come back to this sequence again and again! Thank for sharing these! To a healthy, happy and adventure filled 2023! ❤
The 16 minutes felt like 5 minutes or less! Thank you for this lovely session.
didn't it?! i checked the time a little while in thinking it'd been six or seven minutes and i was less than a minute from the end!
Exactly!!!
honestly, i tried yoga for the second time in my life and this felt like nothing
I was like already 16 minutes ???
Same,didn't felt the time passing
This has been a rough 2 weeks for me. My mom has Covid19 and pnuemonia. She is not going to recover. After days of being away from my yoga practice, this morning I decided it was time to get back to it. If ever there was a time where I need to stay in the moment, it is now. Thank you Adriene ~namaste xoxo Tell the people you love that you love them.
I'm so sorry to hear that, I wish you the best!
Thinking of you!
She WILL recover. Trust. And you will okay ❤️
Sending Prayers To Your Family..Speak Positivity Into the Universe. Everything Will Work Out ✨
@@afshazmn I trust it all worked out for the best. Mom had Alzheimer's that took away her ability to speak. She recognized me until the end. I was able to visit her. Mom is with the angels now. Thank you for all of your positive thoughts.
I needed a good cry this morning. It was building and this movement brought it out in me. I'm still crying and releasing what needs to be released. Thank you Adriene!
I'm practicing and crying with you today. 💜 After all, "the cure for everything is saltwater: sweat, tears and the ocean." -K. Blixten. Let them flow out and they will cleanse, you're not alone! 🤝🏼
@@luciahoneybee thank you! Loved crying with you. You’re right, it’s such a cleanse. Sending you love. ❤️❤️❤️
@@luciahoneybee You are not alone either. Crying is a huge release for me and I do it almost daily. Sending healing and health from the Cayman Islands my friend.
I started doing her videos 3 days ago and i can not stop crying for 2 days. is this the reason???????
Try better help and Bible ❤❤❤
I love your concept of the calendar, so that we as a community can practise together on the old Videos and the New ones. This one especially ive been coming back to for years. Thank you for your work!
Being an indian I feel proud that so many people around the globe are doing yoga 😊
India's gift to the world.
Thanks for inventing it❤
Yess. Proud to be an Indian 🇮🇳
Have a great day/night!
Yall made it happen💖 thanks for the gift
What were people doing before yoga was founded?
This routine makes my back sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies
That's my neck! :)
Lol i know😅
omg me
Me too! Will it go away though? It means that the flexibility increases, right? 🤔
snap,crackle,pop
Align day 21. 870 days in a row.
What's up, Will?! Long time no see! ♥️
Fantastic ❤
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 Still jetlagged. This past week the body as well has been heavy but we continue to the mat.
@William B You most certainly will reclaim your groove with mind, body, and soul! That's great! You're still making it to the mat. Best wishes, yogi friend!🦋♥️🦋
Union day 20. 1142 days.
Always one of my favorites.
Union, November 2023
Update: Adriene, I just checked my calendar and realized this is my 365th day completing "Yoga for Flexibility". I appreciate you and Benji this past year. I will probably branch out and try more of your yoga routines soon. Thanks!
Wow, that real dedication right there. Good job!
After a year of doing this routine, how much improvement have you noticed?
@@quickgirl80 Thanks! I've noticed a lot of improvement compared to when I first started. I used to deal with lower back pain, but it went away after a month of doing this yoga routine. Also, I used to struggle with a lot of these poses (such as the half-happy baby), but now it's so much easier. As of now, I just focus more on breathing.
Holy crap that's GREAT! I hope I can do this for as long as you!!
Ive done her videos and improved so much in flexibility too.
And I thought I was the only one who did this workout every day😁
My yoga mat is the toast and I am the jelly!
Oh yeah!
You're high 😂
Can’t relate
Veci 😂😂😂 fr
Here we go! Day 21 💕🎉
Namaste!
That is a beautiful dog
ikr! so cute! 🥰
Jimmy
All dogs are beautiful 🤪
But you are SOOO right
I have cerebral palsy, which is important because my muscles stretch out a lot less and get tighter a lot quicker than an able-bodied person's. My hip flexors are like steel cables. My knees turn in when I sit. I am completely, 100% not flexible. And I still do yoga five times a week because it eases my symptoms and allows me to function optimally. So to people who say they can't do yoga because they're "not flexible enough", you don't get flexible overnight, and you don't even need to BE particularly flexible. All you have to do is be who you are and have an open mind.
Grace Sophia
Great reminder. I used to be in that "I'm not flexible" camp. It is a frame of mind.
inspiring and graciously put . Love to you and admiration too xx
Grace Sophia ur not the only one who has these conditions. I have Fshd (facioscapulahumoral muscular dystrophy) so this might help :)
❤️❤️❤️
i think the important thing to remember is that even if you can't do the pose EXACTLY like the instructor, just trying to mimic it is just as beneficial. how it looks is not important!
I’ve used this video around once a week for around 4 years now and even though I know the sequence well enough to practice independently, Adrienne’s guidance makes it SO much more effective and relaxing. Can’t imagine life without you Yogi Adrienne! ✨🙏✨I do swap in some parts like the knee bend because I feel conscious that my knees are sensitive so I lower my whole leg up and down instead of bending as this is an exercise for osteoporosis which I’m trying to prevent. Adrienne does have a practice for knee issues I know but I prefer to adapt the other routines so that I can practice more widely. This sequence is nicely restorative for someone like me who works fulltime as a gardener in her 40s. Thank you, Adrienne for what you bring to yoga - making it accessible like it should be xxx
What a lovely soft beginning on a BLOSSOM Monday! Thank you Adriene & Benji. See you all on the mat tomorrow. Namaste 🙏💜
Anyone trying to be flexible in 2020?
Me 😌
@@queenbelkita_ And me!
yeah :) enjoy guys!
With you!!
Me too! I'm super inflexible so I rly have to do something about it😬
Align day 21
Happy and fulfilled
Thank you Adriene
🌻🎁
Your dog is SO cute!
When I first started doing this I couldn’t do any of it, now after doing it everyday for two weeks I can do it all very easily
Doing yoga in the middle of the coronavirus quarantine... Might continue even after😁 thank you for the yoga😁
Thank you, Feb 2022, the blossom}ing continues...😍💖🙏
This year in school was rough. I felt lonely and felt not worthy. With the help of your videos and support from my close ones, I now feel so connected with the earth and myself. Self love, inner peace, and positive energy. Sending you positive energy always and forever.
ya girl I hope you’re having a better year this time around 💛
I'm so sorry you felt that way in the beginning! And its great you found something to make you feel better about that! ❤❤❤
I have been making life changes over the past few years and cut drugs, tobacco, alcohol and other toxic vices from my life completely. I recently took up body building and I am realizing how important it is to be healthy spiritually as well as physically. I have been wanting to try Yoga for some time and I stumbled upon your videos this morning. I just wanted to say thank you for providing another positive outlet for people like me to relieve stress and find peace. I am very grateful for these videos.
Michael, it is my pleasure. And WHAT an inspiration this comment is - for all to see. Thank you!
Michael, thank you for sharing your story. I myself have been sober for 14 years now and yoga has been a big part of my sobriety. Adrienne has also helped me in some tough times. Welcome and I hope yoga helps you find that inner peace.
Robie Sprouse it's my pleasure. It's always nice to hear from others in recovery. Fourteen years is amazing and something to be celebrated. Here's to being liberated!
Michael Trevathan and Robbie Spruce- thank you for sharing a glimpse of your stories. So grateful for these positive changes! Thank you for taking care of you. Beautiful!
Wishing you health, peace & success on your journey 💕
Happy to find myself at home here today. ✨💕🙏🏼 much love to everyone and thank you!
Im always amazed by how quick each practice i do with Adrienne goes by, despite the time it felt like it was only 5 mins!!
Is anyone else so inflexible that it takes all of their strength and willpower just to sit crosslegged with a straight back :(
Hattie Sandes Yas! But the more you do the better it gets!! I'm more flexible now than I was in my teens and I've only been following Adriene for a few months now. Keep it up!! It'll get better, you'll see 😁
I have that issue too. Sometimes I use blocks under my knees to ease the discomfort of sitting cross-legged.
I'm there right now, but I am doing yoga more often and already feel some change
I wasn’t even able to sit cross-legged in kindergarten, so I hope this helps me at least a little!
a little at a time... It's not what you are able to do, it's the quality little that you do consistently as best you can... You can do it!
honestly Adriene you are probably the most encouraging person I know
That is what I think too.
Ditto
Yes she is a beautiful human
Arriving in a moment today!
I couldn’t get out of bed for a few days because I was sick and I missed my daily yoga so this was a lovely way to come back to it.
"Lift the corners of your mouth"
"The light in me recognizes the light in you."
These sentences are so you, Adriene! Thank you for everything you have given us!
Since I was 10 years old in dance class, I'd wanted to be flexible like the other girls, but was always just frustrated. Now fast forward 13 years- I have been practicing with a few of your flexibility and deep stretch videos almost every day for only 6 weeks since lockdown began, and I am already seeing soo much progress in my flexibility and fitness. I have never been this flexible in my life, I never thought it was possible. And this is only the beginning. Thank you so much for teaching me control, space, and patience for my body that I have never, ever had, and never thought I would. Thank you for shining your light to the world, and teaching us to love ourselves. Much love.
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Ah, Align Day - 21 is an internal freshness that encourages an open mind throughout scattered moments. It's time for a brief meditation before I leave for my second job. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️♥️🦋
Blossom Day 21 🌸
Trying to be flexible in my mind, body and perspective this week. See you tomorrow friends 💚
I have tried many of the flexibility yoga video's on UA-cam, but this is by far my favorite. Instead of pushing your body to its limits I feel like this is working with the body.
hello why did i feel like crying in the end? is this a sign of emotional flexibility? 😂
Sometimes you just need a release. I've found myself getting overwhelmed with emotion many times during yoga practice, helped along by Adrienne's gentle words. You're good. Embrace it. 💜
I had the same feeling! Like I feel chill but still kinda wanna cry.
Releasing the psoas muscles release any emotions, you’re fine :)
Lea K. Same but I had to stop myself cus my family around me don’t want them asking questions 😂
I did too. I came to see if anybody else got the same reaction😁💪🏾😭
Not gonna lie. I have been frustrated that I feel I haven’t improved my flexibility after a lot of time on the mat. But approaching it this way makes sense. I committed to daily practice and to creating space. Bookmarking this one. Thank you Adriene. 🙏🏻
21 Feb 2023 - I see that I'm not alone in switching out practices on the calendar 😊 I did this one on the 7th and enjoyed it again today. Love that we're encouraged to find what feels good and own it - thank you! See you tomorrow 💕
"I'm not flexible enough to do yoga"
yo, yoga is the ART of *BECOMING* flexible-you aren't a yogi master on your first try XD
Ikr
Challenge accepted! No but really, you're right.
Hatha yoga was intended to be a way to prepare the body for sitting meditation and not to firm up your butt or make your back more supple. Not to say that it can't do those things. It can enhance physical health in many ways but it's not just about body flexibility.
I've had such a rough week but your videos & positive attitude always take my mind of things...thank you & happy international puppy day to Benji 😊
Sending you love. I find the at home yoga practice to be so valuable in good times and in the tough times too. Namaste my friend.
Just love Benji, always makes me smile!!

I know I am late to the party, but Adriene you are the bee's knees. Thank you so much for getting me through 2020.
This little sequence is such a joy ❤
This is a great one :)
omg I sleep to your videos like every night hahaa
Heyy 😁
Did this in the dark on the veranda in Costa Rica while a giant thunder and lightning storm raged over the Pacific. AWESOME both!
Love when I don't want to do yoga and then it's a short, mellow, yummy practice. Score! ❤
november 20, 2023. thank you Adriene
I was doing this stretch and my dad walked in and subconsciously followed ur breathing commands 😂
Hahahaha
Lol
My husband did the same. He was watching my daughter and I do it, now hes asleep. lol
I don’t know how, but every time you post a video it’s EXACTLY what I need. Thank you ❤️
Good!
Good for you
Here with blossom after the core strengthening practice. Yayyyy
Thank you Adriene ☀️

In the intro Benji steals my heart even more than usual
This is my favorite. I’m on day 3 or 4 now and keep coming back. It’s so easy and makes you feel so good.
Wow I needed this. When you said "the light in me recognizes the light in you" I almost started crying. I'm going to write that everywhere around my room. Everyone who sees this, have a great day. xoxo namaste.
2 years later I hope you are doing well 🤍
@@Nicm29 y'know, I really am. Thank you for that, because I don't acknowledge how far I've come often enough

Align 2023 - Day 21 🥳✅💖 Mmmm nice to stretch to start the day! Enjoy beautiful yogis Xx much love to you all ❤Xx
Thank again Adriene :-) God bless
I'm doing this for the calendar of December 2019 and it's being such a gentle start of the month, great to oppose the stress of the festive season. Thanks Adriene for sharing 🙏
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Union Day - 20 is always refreshing. Ah, I am excited about my run.🏃🏿♀️ However, I did avoid the neck rolls in the beginning of the session to prevent injury. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤🦋🤞🏿
Thankyou Adriene, this coiled spring of a body feels ironed out. ❤
Thanks for repeatedly reminding me to breathe! 😆 I was holding it.
definitely my fav and appreciate the add on to ALIGN
Feeling a bit blah ... so, this really help me to ALign and flex body & mind
May the light in me recognise and honour the light in you / all
Namaste to all practising
My quarantine has become 6 hours of sitting in front of my laptop for school, then ~40 minutes of exercising with Chloe Ting instead of extra fries high cholesterol eating then whatever time I have left is either crying or yoga
O god I feel you..
When you said crying or yoga I felt that💀👀
Macey. Venus I just have to like... moisturise my eyes.... they’re not tears hahaha whaaat they’re eye moisture drops haha definitely
@@liyre4189 Yeah totally.... Definitely eye drops 👀🤷♀️
@@liyre4189 eye sweat from doing chloe ting eee
Intention : align to surrender
I feel relaxed after I surrender to this session 😍 as my body make a sound to every stretch I know I am creating space, and for this I am thankful🙏
Thank you Adriene 🙏❤😊
See you tomorrow beautiful soul ❤😊🙏
Namaste 🙏
I had fallen off the mat after January’s Center ended. But I’m back on after travel and so glad to have a curated calendar to follow. I’m bookmarking today’s flexibility practice-a perfect re-entry! Thanks, Adriene!
Lol!😆 I seemed to have fallen off, too. February has been super busy and exhausting. It's so delightful to meet you! Thank you for your comment, and welcome back! We got this. I always appreciate this session. 🦋♥️♥️🦋
Every morning I pick a new yoga lesson from you ! Thank you for being here!
This is just the type of video I needed. One that recognises we're not crazy flexible yet, but also one that is just so positive
After two years, back on the mat finally
My dog, Moxey, always does yoga with me...just like Benji! Love, Love your yoga practices!
No way that was 16 minutes, felt so much shorter
I have to admit that today I had to really focus on doing yoga and not just sit there and look at what Benji was doing 😂
But when I got into it, this practice was just perfect after finishing my day 7 of 'yoga camp'! Namasté ❤️
Thank goodness it's only 16 min so it's easy to repeat! :D Haha!
Same here :)
Dienotruux
Align day 21 February 2023. Love a good stretching sesh. Day 51 of yoga ❤️
Just what I needed today with an injured IT band. this practice is soothing and hopefully will help me relaxl and be patient till my IT bad pain subsides. Again Adriane this Yoga is such great therapy. Thanks again.
"flexible in your mind" thank you. I needed to hear this today.
