Today, I completed a year of doing Yoga With Adriene every day! Thank you so much, Adriene. My strength and balance have increased and I feel more resilient and grounded in my everyday life. I plan to continue - maybe one day my heels will touch the ground in Downward Dog! Thank you all, for such a supportive community, particularly in these strange times. xx
Congratulations to you for making yourself and your well being a daily priority...and yes, those heels will touch the ground one day :). In the meantime, find what feels good in each downward dog, yes?
Full-on nearly burst out into tears when Adriene said 'whenever you feel like you're going to die or not going to make it'. Love this lady with my whole heart

Me too. This was an incredibly emotional practice for me. I was seriously considering ending my life yesterday due to academic stress and was thankfully stopped by my loved ones, but today I just started this practice because I woke up with immense neck and shoulder pain. I wasn't expecting to cry so much or have this practice resonate so much at this time in my life, but here we are.
Finally broke free from all the stress and tension that I had literally hanging on me everywhere. And I didn't realize that a couple of deep breaths with Adriene and Benji could save me and my day. Thank You so much for posting this and doing what you love for us human beings! Namaste
You have no idea how happy I am to bring myself on the mat today as its been 5 minutes since the internet was "freed" in Iran for the first time in a week . I was filled with anger, sadness, frustration and uncertainty and whether I'll be able to leave this place, and now I'm ready for the tears and all the tension to be released, this is my miracle of the day...I might have missed the last 7 days of the grateful plan but I am grateful to be doing this one in case the internet is banned again .your voice was with me though telling me to accept, let go and react differently ,who knows, one day I might be able to not only join your program but actually do a practice behind you!so thank you Adriene . thank you sooooo much...
Who has done the entire September calendar? Tomorrow, we slow down and become STILL, to find peace, strength and inner connection. Today, we finish RESETting with this lovely offering. See you on the mat. Reset day 30. 361 days in a row.
I enjoy and admire your reflections on our themes, not to mention your dedication to your practice and our community. Looks like you are coming up on a full year of faithful daily practice - wonderful!
Hey yogis! Just wanted to say thanks to Adriene and thanks to the 414 people who just practiced this at the same moment, really helps me feel supported and motivated. Wishing you all a lovely day :)
Wow! I just can't put this feeling I have into words, that is to say it feels amazing knowing that Adriene sensei somehow nails it with a video I need every single time. I can't thank you enough for being my go to guide, teacher, and friend whom I consider one that listens to me patiently; of course i'm not the only one who feels this way and I know it. My tight back will definitely thank me for this sweet, magical practice. Thank you for being in our lives and impacting them the way you do. Much love. Namaste.
I was directed to your channel via a medical professional who is helping me with anxiety. This is the third video I have done, and I want to say thank you so much! I'm amazed at the calm, the peace, and the release I feel. You are a gift to this Universe, and I am so thankful you share your knowledge and soul with us! Namaste, Adriene 🙏❤️
Just wanted to say... I'm a few weeks late trying this one because I've only been making about 10-15 minutes for yoga most days. I finally carved out the time for this one tonight and it was heavenly. Thank you, Adriene. 🙏 That said, Adriene has had a huge impact on my life ever since I first heard her say "A little goes a long way." This was a new concept to me, that even if you only put aside a few minutes every day for yoga, it can have a huge rippling effect. I used to be of the mindset that if I can't do at least 25-30 minutes it's a waste of time and not worth doing. Adriene made me realize this is wrong and I am so grateful. I guess I just wanted to let people know that yoga can change your life even if you only have a few minutes a day. Even 5 minutes matters. Just remembering to breathe matters! Thank you so much again. Adriene, for all that you do and for being you and leading so many people to a life of healing and hope. Namaste.
Oh yes! Same here! When I first started practicing yoga, I prcticed for 15 minutes. However, over some time, I understood I needed more and more. Now I need a 1-1,5 hour practiced to feel good!
"So if you feel like you're in an endpoint, start again with the breath" That is all we have to keep going in this present pandemic, totally agree, we have the breath of Life, which we thank God for use it in our favour. Thank you Adriene a wise Yogi you are ❤️ full of wisdom which keeps us focused, hopeful and reassured 🧘🏽♂️Namaste
I have used this routine so many times to relieve my stress, and it works every time! I carry almost all of my stress in my neck and shoulders, and this routine helps it melt away and gives me the opportunity to start my day all over again with a peaceful state of mind.
ATTRACT by relief of tension (been long day n prep for long haul flight) w this flow of connecting body + mind YEs and thanks Adriene (and sleepy benji) - Breath always comes 1st Namaste to all practising and May all find relief w this
This practice is truly yoga for the mind, amazingly calming. No core work or vinyasa flows today. A listening sequence, you speak so much truth Adriene, resonating with me ! See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
Trust day 26, wonderful relaxing practice to unwind! It seemed quite short for me although it was 28 mins, proper breath really helped stay present and enjoy each and every moment! Really lovely! Thank you Adriene❤
Did this after a long day with a sick baby, and your affirmations at the end brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your incredible body of work, Adriene!
That was most definitely what I needed today. As someone who suffers from Fibromyalgia, I know what it's like to have tension in the body. This practice really has helped me, to feel lighter and softer in my body today. I don't feel as bad as I did, before practice, now I feel calm, and at ease. Thank you so much Adriene, for this beautiful yoga practice today. I don't know how, you always know what I need, but you always do. Thank you. See you on the mat tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
Feeling so calm and relaxed after this practice, so kind and soothing, great for neck and shoulders. A quiet end to our challenging Courage. Looking forward to exploring SHIFT. See you tomorrow on the mat Adriene 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💞🙏
A big hug to you Gill, i will take Adriene's advice and do a shift. Next month i will go to do the Yoga for beginners practices, and review the yoga postures, i might come to #ywaShift now and then so i won't be reading you daily for one month at least, don't know where this Shift will take me. Happy day, happy month and happy life, hoping i will meet with you again, xoxo and tlc. francis from Costa Rica.
Francis I agree with you 😊 I challenged myself to complete the whole of Courage and I do feel fitter for it but next month I shall go back to dipping in and out of the calendar and going back to some favourites that I’ve been missing. I love my low to the ground core practices but I often go back to my very first ones like Morning Yoga for Beginners - Gentle Morning Yoga and Gentle Yoga - 25 Minute Morning Yoga Sequence, you may already know these ? Anyway, Happy Day Francis, keep very safe and it will be lovely to bump into you on the mat and say Hello or I should say Hola 😃 I’m sure very soon. Much love to you 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
Perfect way to end the month of September. This has been an extremely trying month. Even though it flew by each day felt like a test. I am so thankful for this yoga practice and the YWA community. I hope October brings lots of reassurance and strength.
In honour of our September calendar, when I swapped a few 🙄 I breathed my way through this awesome calming practice. I often use that deep slow Ujjayi breath when I need to be in control of my life, my pain and to reset my mind to keep positive. As we chilled at the end, it came to mind the Mantra given to you by your Mom .... “ everything is as it should be “ 🌺🙏 I feel so calm coming off my mat ! I’m looking forward to our STILL calendar and to being extra positive 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️🙏💕
'if you feel like you're at an endpoint, start again with the breath' - might be the most powerful, life affirming statement i've heard this year. this video is something special, there is wisdom and love here that is truly sublime in its modesty and humbleness.
Wow, everything I needed. I have been coming to the mat with tension every day feeling fearful I do not have the energy to complete the practice. I have been doing daily yoga since Jan. 1st and in the second & third month felt so much stronger but the Flow classes last month put me on edge, because I am not fluid with the flows and do not feel capable. Hoping to get the Mojo back this month. This practice was just what I needed...thank you Adriene!
ATTRACT ⚡ | August 7, 2024 | So lovely to come back to this supportive practice, it's been over 2 years! As always a great reminder to return to the breath, and to be proactive about releasing that tension. 🙏
I am very thankful I found YWA 28 months ago. My life is so much better since I started doing daily yoga on Day 0 of HOME. I appreciate your guidance, gentleness, and mindful compassion Adriene. I have been meditating daily for 45 years, enjoy doing it more often through your practices. I do find sometimes thinking that it might be difficult for beginners to focus intentionally on breath when listening to a lot of information coming from you. I experience some times, like with this video, a bit of frustration. The information. That you give is wonderful and important, yet many times is redundant and so much is coming out of you that there is not enough space to focus on breath and sensations. I hope you take this as a word of help. Will keep followings on UA-cam and as a member of YWA
Just what my body needed, We had nice Sunday with our daughter and her boyfriend😍, and now I am having a restful evening, See you all tomorrow, Namaste💚
And yet again the September calendar is synching with my day! It's my matric farewell today so I will have some tension today, but this video- along with Adriene and Benji- makes me start my day the correct way.
Adrienne tysm for helping me to evolve. Yoga has brought a huge change in me both mentally and physically. I mayn't have been able to do yoga if I didn't get a guide as loving as u. I owe u a lot! ❤
This is the first YWA practice I ever did and it's the one that I come back to every time I fall off my practice. It always feels like finding myself again 😊
Always good to be reminded that all things are cyclical. I needed exactly this practice today to help get perspective and ease a headache. So glad I can always turn to Yoga With Adriene.
Peace Yogi friend! It's so nice to have you back on the calendar with us. I also described the session as being soothing too. Have you ordered the Universal Mind? Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋
I through a hard time. I feel so fail in this life, and this is your first video that I watch and surprisingly you help me a lot. for no reason, I'm crying, without thinking anything, and I feel better after doing this yoga and I think my tension is already relieved, thank you, Adriene.
Needed this practice today, a week on from my beautiful dog passing away and I was struggling today. This helped (albeit it I had a cry while doing it) thank you xx
I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve lost a dog before and it felt like my soul was torn. Time makes it easier but I still hold a place in my heart for him. I’m sure you will too.
Thank you for this, Adriene. I'm currently working through some childhood trauma and this practice is currently my favorite. It helps me release tension in small dosis every day. And your kind words give me hope and strength to keep working through it.
today’s practice done on: * 6/12/22: this was such a yummy practice to do on this restful sunday, perfect way to care for my body and give it the love that it needs. energize day 12 ⚡️
Kitten got a new stick, so while the practice was calming and tension relieving, stick made everything more fun! Thank you, Adriene. We love your show!
Did this practice with ear buds in on noise canceling mode, since my roommates were getting ready to go to a game at the beginning (and the living room is really the only comfortable place to do yoga in my place). It ended up being a surprising benefit because it amplified my breath in my ears, and in the beginning, sitting and doing ujjayi breath, my world filled with the ocean of my spirit. It was so calming. Reminded me of the bee breath I learned in a new video just earlier this week :) awesome!
Exactly what i needed after a 12 hour tension migraine. After a day of pain i left this video finally feeling relief. Also Benji's twitching at 4:23 made me smile for the first time all day.
“ Remember it all begins with the breath. That statement evoked some tears as I surrendered at the end of this practice. This was just what I needed this morning. Thank you, Adriene, as always.
Courage Day 30 - Done ✅ and what a lovely practice to end the month of fire... So glad I took the time to practice everyday & So enjoyed this months calendar... And I'm so proud to have created a fantastic habit as this is my first month of a consistent daily practice. Nameste to you all YWA & Benji... 😘💕🙏🏻
Jun 12, 2022 05:11 Intention : energize to find ease I remember doing what I have learned the other day to spread my fingers wider when moving my hands upward in hero pose and it feels awesome, truly by being present at the moment and just listen to Adriene's guidance there are alot to learn with just one session. And for this I am grateful Bless you and your team Adriene Happy Sunday everyone Namaste 🙏🏼
I am from Turkey and live in New Jersey. Came to Turkey to visit my family in March and right after I came, all of our borders closed. As of today I am still in Turkey... Has been lot of curfews, other challenges since then as the whole world knows... Luckily, I have found you end of April and have been doing your yoga classes since then. Finished “Home 30 day” and today “June:Courage”. I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting these together for us. Your videos are something I am looking forward to do everyday. I work from home, and able to do your videos on my lunches! Today, For some reason, I felt like the world was collapsing on me. And after doing this video, I started crying and now I feel much lighter and much more peaceful. Thank you Adriene! You are such a free spirit. Love your energy. And of course love love Benji !!
Practice 152/365 of 2021✅ I soooooo needed this today. I really felt the tension accumulating throughout the day, starting at 6:30 am. My shoulders, my arms, my legs, my neck and even my feet felt like stone. Thank you , thank you, thank you for this one 🙏 thank you all
Completed 2 month of yoga practice today. I started practicing yoga from your yoga calendar from 1st May and I didn't expected that I'll come this far. Thank you Adriene for everything..😊 Lots of love to everyone practicing yoga❤️
"So always, always, always remembering the breath is there for you to return to again and again and again . . . Remember the breath is always there . . . . and the breath always comes first." Wonderful mantra, Adriene~!!!! Thank you~!!!!!!
Caught covid for the first time in 2 years this week (surprised it took til now as I work as a full time healthcare professional). The last day or two I've managed to get out of bed and I've been so sore and achy in my back. I returned to yoga today, and this practise didn't take away all of the pain but I am stunned by how much it did. Thank you Adriene 😊
Thanks so much Adriene for another relaxing, relieving and lovely Yoga that i incorporate with my lifestyle as a Pilates Instructor and Physical therapist. You inspire me to do my best to my clients and to help other people through wellness, proper fitness and exercises that are gentler to our body and soul. Namaste and i am really grateful.
I adore you Adriene, how so conscious all your practices are, but I do also confess that Benji warms my heart and calm me down so much! He reminds me my dog so much, and now that we are a part, I really feel comfort looking to Benji. Thank you for sharing both your practice and your lovely dog with us
Thank you, Adriene. This might have been one of the nicest yoga sessions of my entire life. I was feeling absolutely rubbish today and felt like this might be the end. Today was so, so hard. Somehow I gained a little bit of energy after having dinner and decided to do this session. It was hard to find peace, but in some moments I felt better. And I guess that is what counts. Thank you for your calming voice and this video, which almost seemed like it was made for me today. It's priceless
I loved this practice as much today as I did the other times that I did it lol - Thank you so much for daily yoga and it's calming, inspiring and motivating effect on my life. I am truly on a much clearer path since practicing daily with Adriene. Day 9 #ywaACTION, Namaste & Peace ~
I just got my pfizer vaccine too! Tuesday was my second dose. I skipped YWA yesterday because I didn't sleep well the night before (sometimes I suffer from insomnia) and was therefore too exhausted to do yoga! I strongly recommend this practice for renewing after the Covid vaccine. In my case, two days after.
Attract Day 7: I have A LOT of tension on my neck and shoulders and now clavicle since yesterday practice. I definitely feel some relief though. Thank you Adriene. Namaste 🙏🏽
I’ve done this practice many times and every time Adriene says “and the energetic body… takes a break” I can’t help but hear it in Snape’s voice and laugh a little. That’s all- thank you Adriene for making me smile and provide much needed relief time and time again.
Stress and tension are things that build up over time and I don't get the chance to try and relieve them, this practise helped, I'll admit that at the beginning sitting on the pillows, straight back and breathing, my back was crying out to stop and I have a strong back, by the end though, my back and shoulders were relieved not totally but better than before and this is after waking up, great to see Benji absolutely crashed out during Adriene's practise. Thanks Adriene :)
I just found this channel and it has saved my life. I suffer with chronic pain everyday of the rest of my life. Which has not been easy. Being able to listen to someone who just really gets relaxation and the importance of taking a breath is amazing. My tension was gone. My pain decreased. And you made me feel like I did something right today. I pushed forward and made the decision to do something about it. Hearing someone say they are proud of you for something feels unbelievable. I tried to hold back tears at the end but decided to let it out. Thank you for everything you do for people.
for the first few minutes i struggled to keep still and focus on my breath, my mind kept wandering everywhere but the present moment. i'm glad i thought of all the comments i'd read about other people powering through even when they didn't feel like it... i finished the practice and feel much better. thank you all and thank you adriene ❤️
Man, I absolutely love the chill music at the end of this video. Thank you so much for making these videos for us. May God’s light shine in your life 🙏
I planned to do the members only practice today. I had both open on my desktop. When I returned to do my practice, I selected this one. So, I obviously needed it today! Thank you for this gentle, thoughtful practice. Namaste :)
My friend committed suicide this week and i had a heavy weekend full of gigs to perform. i felt like i was going to lose it halfway through the weekend so used this practice - i felt as though my sadness was being pulled through me and out - i sobbed as i did the seated twists and by the end was in a much improved headspace - ready to continue with my obligations. thank you adriene - you saved me 🙏
Loved the practice, it sure helps a great deal to release tension, which is as you say constantly building up and needs attention and prompt action, great practice. Love the fact that your yoga leggings closely co-ordinated with your Precious Benji's Stunning coat, I love his natural beauty ❤️❤️🧘🏽♂️Namaste
You have no idea how important this practice is for me. It has saved me so many times. I have problems with processing stimulus and emotions. So there is always tension in my muscles and rest of my body. If I had to choose from al my belongings there was only one thing I would keep. I would throw everything away and keep this video! Thank you sooo sooo much!!❤️
Did this just feel amazing? So soft, and slow and gentle... 💚 I reminded myself these things today: - You are doing fine. - Every little step counts. - What's there for you, is there for you. So if anyone else is in need of these truths, serve yourself 💙 Namaste beautifuls
Adriene is the only yoga teacher who can make me cry in a good way, she always has the right thing to say when I am feeling anxious or frustrated. Those 30 minutes flew by and I feel so much more grounded. Sending love to this whole community who always supports each other. Know that you are amazing
It’s straight up gorgeous this morning, so I took the mat to my porch, had a nice dawn yoga session. Gotta practice on hard surfaces more, very different feeling from carpet. Day 526 of the current run.
wow around minute 21 when i put my ear to my shoulder and then pressed against an imaginary wall?? my arm went numb and it was a very unpleasant sensation but i could feel it stretching deep, i have always carried so so much tension in my shoulders so hopefully this stretch can help relieve some of that, I have never found one that affects me like that! Thank you Adriene, love you, you've helped me so much over the last couple years on my yoga journey.
For me this is a slow mindful meditating practice. A couple of cushions under my bum was super beneficial for my arthritis pain allowing me to relax into the moment without tension in my legs, well worth doing. The Ujjayi breathing helped me focus on the breath too. Feeling extremely calm coming off my mat this morning, I quite forgot what I intended doing next, 😂 senior moment ! 🤗 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕

Thank you Adriene!!! I woke up feeling nauseous so I drank a glass of water and found this video. You were absolutely right that I stop breathing because I hit a difficult spot. Also, you were absolutely right that I am partly doing this video because I sort out a friend who has become a source of tension in my life. Thank you thank you thank you!
THis is my go to video when I wake up "on the wrong side of the bed" and I can feel my energy and attitude spiraling into negativity and a "woe is me" attitude. Thank you so much Adriene, after this video I feel like a fifty pound weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Amazing what a little breathing and stretching can do! I can't thank you enough.
Attract l 🦋❤️🦋 l Day - 7 l Aug. 7, 2024 l Blessed Beloved Beauties! This session is so refreshing and it was right on time as the last two terms have been overzealously stressful. The university said that teacher assistants aren't qualified to grade. I really need an assistant for the responsibility of 68 assignments per week. I turned down a big class for the upcoming term in 2 1/2 more weeks. I am proud of my decision to choose health and wellness over burnout. I know God will make away. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤️❤️💪🏿🙏🏿
Cooling and calming are the right words to describe this session. Calm enough to make me undergo an itty bitty doze towards the end. Shoulders feel pretty good!
Dear Adrienne, I use this practice many times when I suffer from tension to the point where I actually feel like I might die. I’m in a very stressful living situation and I feel very isolated and alone, your words bring out the tears I’m usually keeping in. Thank you for the empathy you bring to your practice, it’s genuinely a godsend. Your calming and soothing voice and overall energy make me feel like I’m in the company of a caring friend.
Namaste 💖 I’ve just gotten back into yoga again & your videos have always been the perfect way for me to relax & connect! Thank you for what you do, you’re an inspiration and a friend :)
This cooling and calming practice was created specifically to help relieve any accumulated tension. So hop on the mat, my friends! What do you say?
Perfect practice, thank you for sharing! Lots of love
I say, YES!
Benji has this tension relief thing down! #goals
It is amazing i must say how your practice relieved both physical and psychological tension i experienced all day. Thank you for sharing!
Best yoga channel out there!!
Today, I completed a year of doing Yoga With Adriene every day! Thank you so much, Adriene. My strength and balance have increased and I feel more resilient and grounded in my everyday life.

Happy yoga birthday!
Congratulations to you for making yourself and your well being a daily priority...and yes, those heels will touch the ground one day :). In the meantime, find what feels good in each downward dog, yes?
Congrats! I’m working my way to a year too and hearing that others have done it is so encouraging 💜

Caught my breath 😮
Me too. This was an incredibly emotional practice for me. I was seriously considering ending my life yesterday due to academic stress and was thankfully stopped by my loved ones, but today I just started this practice because I woke up with immense neck and shoulder pain. I wasn't expecting to cry so much or have this practice resonate so much at this time in my life, but here we are.

Seriously. I haven't felt this good in years, so happy I clicked!
Namaste, Miia! x
You made me realxa thank you for doing that 😊😊❤
You have no idea how happy I am to bring myself on the mat today as its been 5 minutes since the internet was "freed" in Iran for the first time in a week . I was filled with anger, sadness, frustration and uncertainty and whether I'll be able to leave this place, and now I'm ready for the tears and all the tension to be released, this is my miracle of the day...I might have missed the last 7 days of the grateful plan but I am grateful to be doing this one in case the internet is banned again .your voice was with me though telling me to accept, let go and react differently ,who knows, one day I might be able to not only join your program but actually do a practice behind you!so thank you Adriene . thank you sooooo much...
After a practice like that I'm a bundle of emotion and your comment made me cry. I hope you get to be free and continue yoga, take care
Andréa Deshaies aw sorry for the tears and thank you for the love🥰🙏🏻!
That's rough.. Gives me a more helpful perspective.. I'm in tears.. Bless you
Stay strong beautiful Mahtab, one day Iran will be free again!
Stay your Beautiful self Mahtab 🙋♀️ Stay strong and be on the mat for Joy in yourself. It makes me sad reading your post. You will be free 💖
I basically started to cry afterwards. I guess my tension is really away, thank you Adriene.
me too, gosh - namaste
Yes, same here...
me too, wow
Here too. That was a good release.
Me too!
You need to sell soft shirts that say "Something Comfy".. ..to go along with your "hop into something comfy" saying!
Erinn Cowell I want one that says “Benji is my Drishti” 🤪
would 100% buy a ywa "something comfy" hoodie
I would 100% buy that
Yes please! I would 100% buy this shirt
Yes Yes Yes!!!! I would absolutely buy it!
Namaste Adriene and yogi community !!! May you all be blessed with positivity and abundance
Same to you!
Namaste, Leslie! xx
Same for you Leslie. Have a great day. Namaste 😊
aww - you too love!!
Om Shanti Om...ty!! xxx
Who has done the entire September calendar? Tomorrow, we slow down and become STILL, to find peace, strength and inner connection. Today, we finish RESETting with this lovely offering. See you on the mat.
Reset day 30. 361 days in a row.
I enjoy and admire your reflections on our themes, not to mention your dedication to your practice and our community. Looks like you are coming up on a full year of faithful daily practice - wonderful!
@@ellenp.4873 Thank you for your kind words Ellen.
The September calendar was my first monthly calendar and I loved it! It suited me better than the 30 day challenges. Ready for October! Namaste 🧘♂️
Where are you? I don't see your comments in October calendar?!
Just watching your dog laying so peacefully relieved my tension. 🙏🏾
Hey yogis! Just wanted to say thanks to Adriene and thanks to the 414 people who just practiced this at the same moment, really helps me feel supported and motivated. Wishing you all a lovely day :)
Wow! I just can't put this feeling I have into words, that is to say it feels amazing knowing that Adriene sensei somehow nails it with a video I need every single time. I can't thank you enough for being my go to guide, teacher, and friend whom I consider one that listens to me patiently; of course i'm not the only one who feels this way and I know it. My tight back will definitely thank me for this sweet, magical practice. Thank you for being in our lives and impacting them the way you do. Much love. Namaste.
I was directed to your channel via a medical professional who is helping me with anxiety. This is the third video I have done, and I want to say thank you so much! I'm amazed at the calm, the peace, and the release I feel. You are a gift to this Universe, and I am so thankful you share your knowledge and soul with us! Namaste, Adriene 🙏❤️
You are not alone!
Just wanted to say... I'm a few weeks late trying this one because I've only been making about 10-15 minutes for yoga most days. I finally carved out the time for this one tonight and it was heavenly. Thank you, Adriene. 🙏
That said, Adriene has had a huge impact on my life ever since I first heard her say "A little goes a long way." This was a new concept to me, that even if you only put aside a few minutes every day for yoga, it can have a huge rippling effect. I used to be of the mindset that if I can't do at least 25-30 minutes it's a waste of time and not worth doing. Adriene made me realize this is wrong and I am so grateful. I guess I just wanted to let people know that yoga can change your life even if you only have a few minutes a day. Even 5 minutes matters. Just remembering to breathe matters! Thank you so much again. Adriene, for all that you do and for being you and leading so many people to a life of healing and hope. Namaste.
Totally agree with you B-)
Oh yes! Same here! When I first started practicing yoga, I prcticed for 15 minutes. However, over some time, I understood I needed more and more. Now I need a 1-1,5 hour practiced to feel good!
It’s always better to take at least 5-10 minutes to practice than do nothing at all!!!
"So if you feel like you're in an endpoint, start again with the breath" That is all we have to keep going in this present pandemic, totally agree, we have the breath of Life, which we thank God for use it in our favour. Thank you Adriene a wise Yogi you are ❤️ full of wisdom which keeps us focused, hopeful and reassured 🧘🏽♂️Namaste
I have used this routine so many times to relieve my stress, and it works every time! I carry almost all of my stress in my neck and shoulders, and this routine helps it melt away and gives me the opportunity to start my day all over again with a peaceful state of mind.
This June calendar has been one of the best ever!
Agreed! I feel so strong 😍
ATTRACT
by relief of tension (been long day n prep for long haul flight) w this flow of connecting body + mind
YEs and thanks Adriene (and sleepy benji) - Breath always comes 1st
Namaste to all practising and May all find relief w this
Attract day 7🎉 thank you, for this practice Adriene, grateful for the tension release I needed it today. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
This practice is truly yoga for the mind, amazingly calming. No core work or vinyasa flows today. A listening sequence, you speak so much truth Adriene, resonating with me ! See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
It truly was. 🙏
Trust day 26, wonderful relaxing practice to unwind! It seemed quite short for me although it was 28 mins, proper breath really helped stay present and enjoy each and every moment! Really lovely! Thank you Adriene❤
Did this after a long day with a sick baby, and your affirmations at the end brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your incredible body of work, Adriene!
That was most definitely what I needed today. As someone who suffers from Fibromyalgia, I know what it's like to have tension in the body. This practice really has helped me, to feel lighter and softer in my body today. I don't feel as bad as I did, before practice, now I feel calm, and at ease. Thank you so much Adriene, for this beautiful yoga practice today. I don't know how, you always know what I need, but you always do. Thank you. See you on the mat tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
Greetings Yogi Sis! I'm happy to hear you feel better. Likewise. Now, I need to do some grading before it gets too late. Have a pleasant night!🦋❤️🦋
Feeling so calm and relaxed after this practice, so kind and soothing, great for neck and shoulders. A quiet end to our challenging Courage. Looking forward to exploring SHIFT. See you tomorrow on the mat Adriene 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💞🙏
A big hug to you Gill, i will take Adriene's advice and do a shift. Next month i will go to do the Yoga for beginners practices, and review the yoga postures, i might come to #ywaShift now and then so i won't be reading you daily for one month at least, don't know where this Shift will take me. Happy day, happy month and happy life, hoping i will meet with you again, xoxo and tlc. francis from Costa Rica.
Francis I agree with you 😊 I challenged myself to complete the whole of Courage and I do feel fitter for it but next month I shall go back to dipping in and out of the calendar and going back to some favourites that I’ve been missing. I love my low to the ground core practices but I often go back to my very first ones like Morning Yoga for Beginners - Gentle Morning Yoga and Gentle Yoga - 25 Minute Morning Yoga Sequence, you may already know these ? Anyway, Happy Day Francis, keep very safe and it will be lovely to bump into you on the mat and say Hello or I should say Hola 😃 I’m sure very soon. Much love to you 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
Perfect way to end the month of September. This has been an extremely trying month. Even though it flew by each day felt like a test. I am so thankful for this yoga practice and the YWA community. I hope October brings lots of reassurance and strength.
In honour of our September calendar, when I swapped a few 🙄 I breathed my way through this awesome calming practice. I often use that deep slow Ujjayi breath when I need to be in control of my life, my pain and to reset my mind to keep positive. As we chilled at the end, it came to mind the Mantra given to you by your Mom .... “ everything is as it should be “ 🌺🙏 I feel so calm coming off my mat ! I’m looking forward to our STILL calendar and to being extra positive 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️🙏💕
"Whenever you feel like youre going to die or not going to make, remember, the breath is always there" i-
'if you feel like you're at an endpoint, start again with the breath' - might be the most powerful, life affirming statement i've heard this year. this video is something special, there is wisdom and love here that is truly sublime in its modesty and humbleness.
I was doing the practice with my mom and she said "until there isn't and you die" LOL
ana sofia loll
Cue the ugly crying. Adriene is truly the best yoga instructor
Literally exactly what I needed to hear today
Wow, everything I needed. I have been coming to the mat with tension every day feeling fearful I do not have the energy to complete the practice. I have been doing daily yoga since Jan. 1st and in the second & third month felt so much stronger but the Flow classes last month put me on edge, because I am not fluid with the flows and do not feel capable. Hoping to get the Mojo back this month. This practice was just what I needed...thank you Adriene!
ATTRACT ⚡ | August 7, 2024 | So lovely to come back to this supportive practice, it's been over 2 years! As always a great reminder to return to the breath, and to be proactive about releasing that tension. 🙏
Greetings Cecelia! 👋🏿 Oh, yeah releasing that tension is a must. 🦋❤️🦋
I am very thankful I found YWA 28 months ago. My life is so much better since I started doing daily yoga on Day 0 of HOME. I appreciate your guidance, gentleness, and mindful compassion Adriene.
I have been meditating daily for 45 years, enjoy doing it more often through your practices.
I do find sometimes thinking that it might be difficult for beginners to focus intentionally on breath when listening to a lot of information coming from you. I experience some times, like with this video, a bit of frustration.
The information. That you give is wonderful and important, yet many times is redundant and so much is coming out of you that there is not enough space to focus on breath and sensations. I hope you take this as a word of help. Will keep followings on UA-cam and as a member of YWA
I started this video in tears and now I am in a completely different place! You’ve done it once again, Adriene! You have changed my life. Namaste.🙏😎
Just what my body needed, We had nice Sunday with our daughter and her boyfriend😍, and now I am having a restful evening, See you all tomorrow, Namaste💚
And yet again the September calendar is synching with my day! It's my matric farewell today so I will have some tension today, but this video- along with Adriene and Benji- makes me start my day the correct way.
Thank you, Adriene. During these times of isolation, doing yoga with you is a real ray of sunshine and calm. Blessings to you!
Adrienne tysm for helping me to evolve. Yoga has brought a huge change in me both mentally and physically. I mayn't have been able to do yoga if I didn't get a guide as loving as u. I owe u a lot! ❤
I feel the same way.
This is the first YWA practice I ever did and it's the one that I come back to every time I fall off my practice. It always feels like finding myself again 😊
Always good to be reminded that all things are cyclical. I needed exactly this practice today to help get perspective and ease a headache. So glad I can always turn to Yoga With Adriene.
Hi friends! I joined you on the mat today for Energize day 12. It was soothing, wasn't it?
616 days in a row!
Peace Yogi friend! It's so nice to have you back on the calendar with us. I also described the session as being soothing too. Have you ordered the Universal Mind? Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 No, not yet!
@@williamb7275 Nor have I, yet I hope to sooner rather than later.
I through a hard time. I feel so fail in this life, and this is your first video that I watch and surprisingly you help me a lot. for no reason, I'm crying, without thinking anything, and I feel better after doing this yoga and I think my tension is already relieved, thank you, Adriene.
Thanks Adrienne! I follow your video for tension relief over and over and it really helps.
My first month with miss Adriene is complete. This practice was right on time for me this morning! Thanks again! 🙂
I started this video with a lump in my throat and cold feet. By the end, the lump was gone and my feet had warmed. This practice was magic.
Needed this practice today, a week on from my beautiful dog passing away and I was struggling today. This helped (albeit it I had a cry while doing it) thank you xx
I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve lost a dog before and it felt like my soul was torn. Time makes it easier but I still hold a place in my heart for him. I’m sure you will too.
@@crisdesousa7195 thank you. She will always have a place in my heart. Miss her so so much.
not me reading this while my dog lays with me on the yoga mat and now i'm crying
Thank you for this, Adriene. I'm currently working through some childhood trauma and this practice is currently my favorite. It helps me release tension in small dosis every day. And your kind words give me hope and strength to keep working through it.
today’s practice done on:
* 6/12/22: this was such a yummy practice to do on this restful sunday, perfect way to care for my body and give it the love that it needs. energize day 12 ⚡️
Greetings Abby! Nice to meet you. I concur. I feel asleep at the end. Best wishes! Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋
Kitten got a new stick, so while the practice was calming and tension relieving, stick made everything more fun! Thank you, Adriene. We love your show!
Energise June 2022. Beautiful practice for Sunday afternoon, which I will also return to when I need a reset, or just to feel good. Namaste everyone x
Did this practice with ear buds in on noise canceling mode, since my roommates were getting ready to go to a game at the beginning (and the living room is really the only comfortable place to do yoga in my place). It ended up being a surprising benefit because it amplified my breath in my ears, and in the beginning, sitting and doing ujjayi breath, my world filled with the ocean of my spirit. It was so calming. Reminded me of the bee breath I learned in a new video just earlier this week :) awesome!
Exactly what i needed after a 12 hour tension migraine. After a day of pain i left this video finally feeling relief. Also Benji's twitching at 4:23 made me smile for the first time all day.
days been tough. also can't afford a mattress or to replace my pillow. but at least i choose to show up here for myself. thank you adriene :)
Thank you, sweet Adriene, for a much needed session today. Sending you lots of love and happiness 💐
“
Remember it all begins with the breath. That statement evoked some tears as I surrendered at the end of this practice. This was just what I needed this morning. Thank you, Adriene, as always.
Courage Day 30 - Done ✅ and what a lovely practice to end the month of fire... So glad I took the time to practice everyday & So enjoyed this months calendar... And I'm so proud to have created a fantastic habit as this is my first month of a consistent daily practice. Nameste to you all YWA & Benji... 😘💕🙏🏻
A very centering calm practice, with energy too. Much needed today for me
Once again, Adriene, you've saved my day
Jun 12, 2022 05:11
Intention : energize to find ease
I remember doing what I have learned the other day to spread my fingers wider when moving my hands upward in hero pose and it feels awesome, truly by being present at the moment and just listen to Adriene's guidance there are alot to learn with just one session. And for this I am grateful
Bless you and your team Adriene
Happy Sunday everyone
Namaste 🙏🏼
I cried throughout this entire practice. I didn't know how much I needed this until I stepped onto the mat today. Thank you!
I am from Turkey and live in New Jersey. Came to Turkey to visit my family in March and right after I came, all of our borders closed. As of today I am still in Turkey... Has been lot of curfews, other challenges since then as the whole world knows...
Luckily, I have found you end of April and have been doing your yoga classes since then. Finished “Home 30 day” and today “June:Courage”. I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting these together for us. Your videos are something I am looking forward to do everyday. I work from home, and able to do your videos on my lunches!
Today, For some reason, I felt like the world was collapsing on me. And after doing this video, I started crying and now I feel much lighter and much more peaceful. Thank you Adriene! You are such a free spirit. Love your energy.
And of course love love Benji !!
Practice 152/365 of 2021✅ I soooooo needed this today. I really felt the tension accumulating throughout the day, starting at 6:30 am. My shoulders, my arms, my legs, my neck and even my feet felt like stone. Thank you , thank you, thank you for this one 🙏 thank you all
Completed 2 month of yoga practice today.
I started practicing yoga from your yoga calendar from 1st May and I didn't expected that I'll come this far.
Thank you Adriene for everything..😊
Lots of love to everyone practicing yoga❤️
"So always, always, always remembering the breath is there for you to return to again and again and again . . . Remember the breath is always there . . . . and the breath always comes first." Wonderful mantra, Adriene~!!!! Thank you~!!!!!!
Caught covid for the first time in 2 years this week (surprised it took til now as I work as a full time healthcare professional). The last day or two I've managed to get out of bed and I've been so sore and achy in my back. I returned to yoga today, and this practise didn't take away all of the pain but I am stunned by how much it did.
Thank you Adriene 😊
Feel better soon!
Thanks so much Adriene for another relaxing, relieving and lovely Yoga that i incorporate with my lifestyle as a Pilates Instructor and Physical therapist. You inspire me to do my best to my clients and to help other people through wellness, proper fitness and exercises that are gentler to our body and soul. Namaste and i am really grateful.
Annie Pilates Physical Therapist this helps me too... 🙏
I adore you Adriene, how so conscious all your practices are, but I do also confess that Benji warms my heart and calm me down so much! He reminds me my dog so much, and now that we are a part, I really feel comfort looking to Benji. Thank you for sharing both your practice and your lovely dog with us
Thank you, Adriene. This might have been one of the nicest yoga sessions of my entire life. I was feeling absolutely rubbish today and felt like this might be the end. Today was so, so hard. Somehow I gained a little bit of energy after having dinner and decided to do this session. It was hard to find peace, but in some moments I felt better. And I guess that is what counts. Thank you for your calming voice and this video, which almost seemed like it was made for me today. It's priceless
This was perfect for today. Super calming. Thankyou, Adriene & Benji xxx
I loved this practice as much today as I did the other times that I did it lol - Thank you so much for daily yoga and it's calming, inspiring and motivating effect on my life. I am truly on a much clearer path since practicing daily with Adriene. Day 9 #ywaACTION, Namaste & Peace ~
Super relaxing and calming. Perfect for my post covid vaccine morning as my body dealing with the first pfizer dose. 🙏🏻💉💖
I just got my pfizer vaccine too! Tuesday was my second dose. I skipped YWA yesterday because I didn't sleep well the night before (sometimes I suffer from insomnia) and was therefore too exhausted to do yoga! I strongly recommend this practice for renewing after the Covid vaccine. In my case, two days after.
This has relieved my psychological tension I experienced today. As always, thank you Adriene!
Attract Day 7: I have A LOT of tension on my neck and shoulders and now clavicle since yesterday practice. I definitely feel some relief though. Thank you Adriene. Namaste 🙏🏽
It's always just what I need today...
Agreed ❤️
I’ve done this practice many times and every time Adriene says “and the energetic body… takes a break” I can’t help but hear it in Snape’s voice and laugh a little. That’s all- thank you Adriene for making me smile and provide much needed relief time and time again.
Stress and tension are things that build up over time and I don't get the chance to try and relieve them, this practise helped, I'll admit that at the beginning sitting on the pillows, straight back and breathing, my back was crying out to stop and I have a strong back, by the end though, my back and shoulders were relieved not totally but better than before and this is after waking up, great to see Benji absolutely crashed out during Adriene's practise. Thanks Adriene :)
I just found this channel and it has saved my life. I suffer with chronic pain everyday of the rest of my life. Which has not been easy. Being able to listen to someone who just really gets relaxation and the importance of taking a breath is amazing. My tension was gone. My pain decreased. And you made me feel like I did something right today. I pushed forward and made the decision to do something about it. Hearing someone say they are proud of you for something feels unbelievable. I tried to hold back tears at the end but decided to let it out. Thank you for everything you do for people.
for the first few minutes i struggled to keep still and focus on my breath, my mind kept wandering everywhere but the present moment. i'm glad i thought of all the comments i'd read about other people powering through even when they didn't feel like it... i finished the practice and feel much better. thank you all and thank you adriene ❤️
Man, I absolutely love the chill music at the end of this video. Thank you so much for making these videos for us. May God’s light shine in your life 🙏
I planned to do the members only practice today. I had both open on my desktop. When I returned to do my practice, I selected this one. So, I obviously needed it today! Thank you for this gentle, thoughtful practice. Namaste :)
Thank you Adriene and Benji, this was so good......remember the breathe always comes first.......thank you for this wonderful practice🧡🧡❤❤
Thank you Adriene for being so calm relaxing and inviting. I haven't practiced in a while, but took the time today and feel so much better for it.
My friend committed suicide this week and i had a heavy weekend full of gigs to perform. i felt like i was going to lose it halfway through the weekend so used this practice - i felt as though my sadness was being pulled through me and out - i sobbed as i did the seated twists and by the end was in a much improved headspace - ready to continue with my obligations. thank you adriene - you saved me 🙏
Loved the practice, it sure helps a great deal to release tension, which is as you say constantly building up and needs attention and prompt action, great practice. Love the fact that your yoga leggings closely co-ordinated with your Precious Benji's Stunning coat, I love his natural beauty ❤️❤️🧘🏽♂️Namaste
You have no idea how important this practice is for me. It has saved me so many times.
I have problems with processing stimulus and emotions. So there is always tension in my muscles and rest of my body.
If I had to choose from al my belongings there was only one thing I would keep. I would throw everything away and keep this video! Thank you sooo sooo much!!❤️
Did this just feel amazing?
So soft, and slow and gentle... 💚
I reminded myself these things today:
- You are doing fine.
- Every little step counts.
- What's there for you, is there for you.
So if anyone else is in need of these truths, serve yourself 💙 Namaste beautifuls
Adriene is the only yoga teacher who can make me cry in a good way, she always has the right thing to say when I am feeling anxious or frustrated. Those 30 minutes flew by and I feel so much more grounded. Sending love to this whole community who always supports each other. Know that you are amazing
It’s straight up gorgeous this morning, so I took the mat to my porch, had a nice dawn yoga session. Gotta practice on hard surfaces more, very different feeling from carpet. Day 526 of the current run.
wow around minute 21 when i put my ear to my shoulder and then pressed against an imaginary wall?? my arm went numb and it was a very unpleasant sensation but i could feel it stretching deep, i have always carried so so much tension in my shoulders so hopefully this stretch can help relieve some of that, I have never found one that affects me like that! Thank you Adriene, love you, you've helped me so much over the last couple years on my yoga journey.
For me this is a slow mindful meditating practice. A couple of cushions under my bum was super beneficial for my arthritis pain allowing me to relax into the moment without tension in my legs, well worth doing. The Ujjayi breathing helped me focus on the breath too. Feeling extremely calm coming off my mat this morning, I quite forgot what I intended doing next, 😂 senior moment ! 🤗 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
Perfect for returning to the mat after 1,5 year without yoga! Thank you very much for this lovely video.
Adriene: breath to release the tension
Me: [screams]

In this video, you will find out why it’s so important to reduce tension as well as how to prevent it from building up in the first place. You’ll walk away with 7 effective things you can do right now to feel relaxed and a sense of flow within.
Thank you Adriene!!! I woke up feeling nauseous so I drank a glass of water and found this video. You were absolutely right that I stop breathing because I hit a difficult spot. Also, you were absolutely right that I am partly doing this video because I sort out a friend who has become a source of tension in my life. Thank you thank you thank you!
wow this one made everything melt away. Thank you so much! Day 26 of trust
THis is my go to video when I wake up "on the wrong side of the bed" and I can feel my energy and attitude spiraling into negativity and a "woe is me" attitude. Thank you so much Adriene, after this video I feel like a fifty pound weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Amazing what a little breathing and stretching can do! I can't thank you enough.
Wow, I didn't realize how much I needed this until I got to the end and I had tears running down my face. Thank you!
Your ending statement really helped me today. Thank you.
Attract l 🦋❤️🦋 l Day - 7 l Aug. 7, 2024 l Blessed Beloved Beauties! This session is so refreshing and it was right on time as the last two terms have been overzealously stressful. The university said that teacher assistants aren't qualified to grade. I really need an assistant for the responsibility of 68 assignments per week. I turned down a big class for the upcoming term in 2 1/2 more weeks. I am proud of my decision to choose health and wellness over burnout. I know God will make away. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤️❤️💪🏿🙏🏿
Cooling and calming are the right words to describe this session. Calm enough to make me undergo an itty bitty doze towards the end. Shoulders feel pretty good!
Was actually tensed before felt relaxed after performing. Such beautifully designed and gracefully executed !💐
Dear Adrienne, I use this practice many times when I suffer from tension to the point where I actually feel like I might die. I’m in a very stressful living situation and I feel very isolated and alone, your words bring out the tears I’m usually keeping in. Thank you for the empathy you bring to your practice, it’s genuinely a godsend. Your calming and soothing voice and overall energy make me feel like I’m in the company of a caring friend.
Namaste 💖 I’ve just gotten back into yoga again & your videos have always been the perfect way for me to relax & connect! Thank you for what you do, you’re an inspiration and a friend :)
Yoga is real life magic. Thank you Adriene, you make the world a better place.
