Hello dear friends! Give yourself a high five and a hug today, you've reached the halfway mark! And it's here that we reset. Did you find something new in your practice today?
Yoga With Adriene yes! I did the side plank in full extension! I am 67 and choose to adapt several poses to “save” my shoulders. Today I did the side plank in full elbow and leg extension. Won’t be doing that a lot though.😝
Today had a surprise for me ! I found that I was able to rest the top of my head on the ground while being in the wide-legged forward fold. It had *never* happened before and I feel so proud, strong and connected!
Something shifted today, it was so different! No anger, no upset, no tears, no bad self talk... In fact at the end I caught myself thinking 'I'm doing this, it's awesome and I can do this' I am eternally greatful to you Adriene, for providing us all with such powerful tools ❤️ I was not expecting anything more than a little bit more physical fitness when I started this, what I actually got was the chance to work through some negative thought patterns that have plagued me my whole life. I'm not saying they are gone, but I can definately deal with them in a MUCH better way now! Thankyou for everyone in the comments that have kept me going also, you are all wonderful and I have so much love for the YWA community. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday xxxxx
YES I have been doing this every morning during quarantine to start my day with positivity and structure! Then I come and read all of the comments hahaha
Yes I have been doing this for the past 2 weeks every night . We are in stage 2 here in Melbourne. This yoga practice has helped me so much at this crazy time .
Can we take a moment to appreciate how beautiful of a flow this was. Adriene really outdid herself, this was so lovely I did real side planks today! This has been a goal for me for some time. Something shifted and it just happened. I didn’t even realize what was happening until I realized I actually did it. Amazing
Chyenne Porter Yes I felt the exact same thing! I am amazed with how much effort Adriene puts into her practice. Not just the guiding us but also lining up the routines to make everything feel seamless and natural. I dont have proper words other than she’s the best :D
Hi there, I am not one for commenting on each class but just felt like reaching out today. I have been with Adriene's classes for 3 months now. First the 30 Days Yoga, then the 30 day Challenge, and now I find myself half way HOME . I must say that these classes and Adriene's easy breezy style makes this the best way to ground and get empowered and energized for the day. It is the very most impt. part of my day. I am 71 yrs old and have been doing yoga off and on for many years. There were times in the past when I did little or no Yoga at all, but this year I decided I needed to develop a home practice and this lead me to Adriene. I am so grateful for this and I would say to any one who thinks that Yoga is too hard or to challenging, JUST KEEP IT UP. There are some classes where I say Adriene, like NO I cant do that pose, BUT instead of giving up, I modify the pose to the best of my flexibility and hold with the idea that in time more strength and flexibility comes. I am so grateful for these 3 courses and would invite all who read this to KEEP IT UP. Make that COMMITMENT, that we are all so afraid of , or that seems useless in these crazy times. But believe me you will see a real difference in every aspects of your lives. I love you all, Adriene, YOU ARE THE BEST! Keep challenging us and making us LAUGH , and give Bengi a HUG for me. THANKS a Million , May PEace, Love, Wellbeing and Abundance be yours Allways. Peace OUT my FRIENDS< Suzen
Hello Dear Susan, I was scrolling down and came across your comment. I am genuinely moved by your dedication and mindset. I wish you more fulfilling days both physically and spiritually. Have a great day and I wish you to be well. Thank you for inspiring words. Wishing you the best xx Zeynep
Hi Suzen - also 71, practicing at home, waking up the old bones (and muscles). This day 15 is a great flow which I will repeat. Adriene is the best teacher I have had the pleasure to have practiced with. I have 'got this' and she has got me. This is the 15th day of the rest of my life.
I am 73 and going strong really enjoyed today exhilarating practice on a lazy? Sunday thank you Adrienne and also the other yogis that wrote in peace and love from New Zealand
I’ve been doing these 30 day journeys every day since February and today I FINALLY did a side plank! Unmodified! Hips up! On my feet, not my knees, feeling balanced! Not collapsed in my shoulders! I was laughing to myself in joy the whole time. I can’t believe I did it!
I am noticing now how this 30 days is infiltrating into my daily life, it’s the small things like engaging my core when doing the dishes so as not to hurt my lower back, or squatting down to load the washing machine instead of just bending over and hurting my back.. so cool. Namaste.
It helps a surprising amount with lifting and other forms of exercise! Every time I have to lift something heavy, I remember to press into all four corners of the feet, and stand up straight!
Enjoyed this practice with an open window today - heard the lovely street musicians and saw a rainbow in the sky. I am all reset and ready for the week, thank you :)
Today is my YWA anniversary! A year ago today I took my first tentative steps with the 20 minute Yoga for Beginners video, and I've been practicing almost every day since. And what a transformation. I am stronger, happier, healthier and I can do all sorts of things I couldn't do a year ago. I still have a fair ways to go, but I am slowly reclaiming my body from injury, and returning to who I used to be. I'm coming home. Adriene, I can't thank you enough for all you've given me. Here's to many more years on the mat.
That’s exactly where I am. A year with Adriene. But today was a shift. I felt so flexible and fit and just DID. So grateful for you Adriene. From windy east coast of England.
Day 105 for me!!! Definitely found something new with that leg work! Phew! My plan for the day got derailed twice. Normally that would make me super frustrated and weepy, but I rolled with it and went to see my mom for a bit. It was a good time, and I knew I had my practice there waiting for me at home. :) Thanks, Adriene. Love ya bunches!
At the end of this practice, I spent some time laying on the mat, hands placed my chest and feeling love and kindness radiate throughout me. Thank you for helping us all cleanse the stress, grief, anger and all other negative thoughts and energy out of our bodies ❤️
Today reaffirmed one of the reasons that I love doing yoga with Adriene: her silliness as well as her humanness and of course her acceptance of us all wherever we are. I loved the suggestions for different options of how to hold our feet or pant legs or leg hair (the height of fun silliness right there!) during happy baby. I feel accepted as she always says " your version" and reminds me that it's ok if my body can't fold completely in half yet. True namaste right there!
Day 15, everybody, let's go. Today is particularly chilly here. I am super charged to do this, and "press the reset button," as Adriene said. Way to commit everyone. We're all awesome. Looking forward to see what the second half of this journey has in store for me. Can't wait to do this now as it just came out. Thank you, Adriene for the big 'ol smile you put on my face on this magical morning. You can do this, everyone. Namaste.
I found this to be a challenging and unpredictable practice! Great for me to save for every once in a while so it remains unfamiliar, surprising, and new.
OK I hope that people don’t think I’m crazy. But today’s reset couldn’t have come at a better time. I was able to accomplish the side planks on each side and the twist and felt a sense of confidence that I have not felt in a long long time. After my practice I had to head to the dentist to get a filling redone and I can tell you that my trips to the dentist have been spotty for the last 30 years Due to my extreme fear. I can tell you that while I was waiting for the numbing to start, I used the breathing techniques that I learned over the last 15 days when I felt anxiety and fear creeping in. Upon taking those breaths and knowing that I am a stronger version of myself because of the last two weeks I was able to bring my mind to a place of peace and was ready for the work when the dentist came in to start. Thank you to everyone in this community, and most of all thank you Adrienne.
Heading into "second semester" in our challenge, I have some observations: first, I practice yoga first thing in the morning and of course in my pj's. I am having major shirt cave happening in down dog and the lions breath was quite pungent for me. Also, during happy baby, Adriene, how did you know I use my leg hair to hold on to? Just kidding! But not about lions breath... :-O
When you asked, "Notice how you feel," I realized that I felt good, the best I have all day. You somehow always know what I need to hear. Thank you Adriene!
There were a couple of moments this morning when I thought 'no way Adrienne' but then gave it a go and found I could kind of get there (kind of). So thank you Adrienne. Never thought I'd get this far xx
This is my fifth yoga with Adriene challenge to do this year and I can proudly say that I did the full side planks with no problems today! Sometimes progress is super gradual and it’s amazing to see the small strides we can make with an almost daily practice❤️
Reset..restart.. your instructions are reverting my robot life back into a natural human life.. The oxygen of Yoga becomes the oil of my bones! Thanks Benji..i mean Adriene.
I was excited to start BREATH at the beginning of January as it came out, my first 30 day series in real time with Adriene. I kept up for two days until I fell off. Over two months later, I joined again. This time I was doing it, I was building real momentum and showing up day after day. For the last few videos of the series, I felt the real strength and ease that I had dreamed of through months of trembling, sweating, resting during core work, taking extended breaks, showing up again. I was excited and inspired to immediately jump in to this HOME journey. But as soon as I started HOME, the ease was gone. I, fully expecting to coast through the first few days when things were supposed to be easy, trembled and sweated and strained again. I was very disappointed. In one of the early videos Adriene was talking about discipline, and most of me was thinking about the pint of icecream I ate the other day, the few pounds I gained, the lack of a break I took between the two series, wondering if any of those could explain the "reset" in strength I'd experienced. But a tiny part of me said something different: "what if discipline means continuing to show up, even though I'm not progressing the way I thought I would? What if discipline means trusting that my strength will return, as long as I show up?" I was putting off doing this video all day because it sounded hard. I've been showing up every day, getting some benefits, but mostly working through my frustration at feeling weaker than I was a month ago. But this video was EASY. I broke a sweat, I worked hard, but I wasn't waiting for it to end. I didn't feel like there was anything here that I couldn't handle. I feel I'm developing the most important muscle, the muscle that helps me show up. "just notice how you feel" I feel GOOD. (Thanks for reading, I just felt really inspired to say these things! And thank you, Adriene, your videos have been one of my all-time best discoveries! :-)
Feeling great! It’s been YEARS since I last consistently practiced Yoga but these old bones are starting to remember. Thank you for this beautiful practice ❤️
Day 15 was so yummy 😊 can't believe we're mid way through home already! The comment about leg hair at the end gave me a much needed giggle this morning 😆 namaste ❤️✌️
Thank you Adriene for your generosity, time and effort and for your kindness. Your program is so needed right now and is making home isolation a lot more grounded. Thank you so much. Big love to you from Australia xxx
Happy Valentine's Day to my February 2021 friends! What a nice little self-love practice. If you're cooped up and alone like me today, this is such a cozy little gift to give ourselves. Big hugs from -17 degrees F, Midwest, USA!
Having YWA throughout all the lockdowns has been such a huge blessing 🙌🏻 we are 3 months into our 3rd lockdown & the gloominess of winter is making it tough but yoga is helping me appreciate the little things more 🙏🏻💙
@@lydiahicks7577 we're in Wales, UK. Our third lockdown started in December & there's currently no end in sight 🤷🏻♀️ but I'm grateful that we are safe 🙏🏻
I love how inclusive these videos are! No matter your mobility or flexibility- Adriene really makes sure that we can all do it together and feel good while doing it
I felt so strong and stable throughout this practice! I’ve always struggled with side/oblique lifts but today I did it without a problem! Thank you Adrienne. I haven’t felt this way about myself in a very long time. Day 15 was a blast!
This one felt sooo good. Energizing, encouraging and managed to find my breath and just feel completely calm. Found myself just smiling because I haven't felt so good in a long time. We can do this, everybody!!
ok so I know this is 2 years ago 30 day journey but I needed to comment somewhere so here it is. I started using Yoga with Adriene 3 years ago. Loved it and originally wanted to start by doing the 30 day journey but something about it just wasn't hitting me so I stopped that and just started picking and doing videos for about a year or so. Love using this site I also utilized a local Yoga studio. I have been doing Yoga since the early 90's. Anyway when covid happened I went full time Yoga with Adriene. So flash forward to Feb. 2022 - I took on the new 30 day journey - religiously!! Every day. I didn't want to stop so now I am going backwards and doing all the 30 day journey's I'm on my 3rd one (Home) I think this is the one I originally started and stopped. Anyway I"m loving it and plan to continue. It is really cool to see the changes, progress and "journey" if you will of each year. Thank you Adriene.
My journey into the wondrous world of the side plank - a one chapter series: So the first time I attempted the side plank was two months ago and I didn't last even a second, but today I FREAKING DID IT, I fell just before Adriene said one and I am beyond excited and so happy, SO WELL DONE TO ME AND TO EVERYONE WHO KEEPS TRYING AND DARES TO OVERCOME THEIR LIMITS!
Half way up the 30 day mountain. I can't imagine a day where this practise would not improve my day and well being. Warmest wishes to this lovely supportive community from the icy west coast of Scotland. It is nice knowing I am not alone on my yoga journey.
Dear Adriene, thank you so much, I am getting so much from this 25 minutes a day any more would have felt to much right now so it's perfect. I find your way of talking us through the postures very clear and supportive of listening to myself and not over reaching. Thanks again, Namaste
Ive been following the channel for about 2 years and this has been my favourite video yet! All the movements flowed so well! Love and respect from Newfoundland, Canada :)
Day 15 woooooo!!!!! I’m surprised how much I enjoyed the vinyasa today, and more surprisingly how easily i could do them as opposed to when i try to do yoga but keep falling. I’m not sure if the practice is going easy or if my body is opening up a bit but I’m enjoying how I’m able to keep up with the rhythm 😁 Thank you Adriene for this beautiful journey and for all the effort you put in. You’re amazing!
What a beautiful flow today! My eyes are usually glued to the screen during those movements but today I just got what she wanted me to do without looking a lot of the time. I am also starting to really try to take up space. When throughout my whole life all I wanted was to be as small as possible. And now I can embrace my presence at least during the practice. I am so grateful for Adriene and all of you 🙏
A friend told me about these daily yoga practices with Adriene. These have been my go-to's during the COVID-19 pandemic. Love the format and sequencing. Just finished Day 15 and look forward to each day's theme. Benji the dog is a nice addition to the practice. Thank you, Adriene, for making these amazing videos.
Hello beautiful people around the world 💛💛 What a way to start the day! Feeling love, stillness, and power! It’s going to o be a good one! Hope yours will be too 💛
Today has been one of the lessons that I have liked the most, I started with yoga with HOME and today I have followed everything with ease and enjoyment, I have really noticed my improvements in all senses, strength, balance, calmness, breathing.... I'm addicted to yoga!!! Thank you so much Adriene!!!
I agree with Sam King - at the end I thought I can do this; even when my back was to the screen. Great flow! Love being a part of this community. Great work everyone. Namaste.
You are amazing!!!!! Today was a HARD day; I ended up yelling at my kids and crying more than once. I was tempted to just go to bed and skip my yoga practice since I hadn’t gotten to it this morning, but thought that I needed to show up for myself. When I saw the title of today’s practice, I started laughing at how perfect it was to have a reset practice for the day when I desperately needed one of those. I also got my left leg up from downward-facing dog into a lunge for the first time without having to use my hands to guide it up!!! I’m so grateful for this practice and for your generous, beautiful soul that allows me to utilize this in my life. Thank you for helping to turn my day around, my darling friend.
I’ve decided to dedicate most of my energy into taking care of myself in order to heal from some traumatic things from 2019. This morning for whatever reason I was feeling particularly anxious, upset, and hopeless, even while spending time with a dear friend. I rushed into this practice trying to rid myself of these consuming thoughts without much luck, which was pretty frustrating, but slowly I started to feel calmer, as I expected. What I didn’t expect was what happened when I decided to pause the video and stay on my back to meditate for a while at the end. It was like my inner voice released itself and quieted my intrusive thoughts. I felt blanketed in self love and I kept seeing this beautiful sky blue color. My mind told me all these beautiful and reassuring things about myself, like why I’m a good person, why people love me, just things I really needed to hear. It ended with a phrase I’m going to do my best to carry with me: “You are everything to me, because you are me.” I really can’t thank you enough Adriene 💗
I just wanted to say thank you so so much for sharing this with all of us. As I finished this practice today, feeling pretty good, I scanned through comments and my gaze came to rest on yours. Tears came into my eyes. What a beautiful moment you experienced.
This has been my favourite of the series by far! This is one I'll return to. It had just the right pace of flow for where I am at right now, and I've been working on my wide-legged forward fold, so always appreciate the practise. Namaste! :)
I’ve been trying to thaw a frozen shoulder for over a year (therapy and at home things) I have to say that I can see a huge difference in what I’m able to do in these last 15days. Thank you
I've made it to the halfway point! I'm so proud of myself after not doing yoga for months. I'm really looking forward to the next half of this journey, so thank you, Adriene :-)
That was a special one! I felt joy building inside of me and suddenly a huge smile broke through and stayed on my face. I am truly grateful for this experience. Namaste 🙏
So, I started this back in Jan...and it took until end of Feb to complete. Circumstances! But with lockdown, I decided at the start of April to redo it. Um...and then I decided to do it again in May, and then that I'd just carry on. It's now 23/10/20, and since September I've been doing two sessions a day. So by the end of the month I'll be "caught up" and have done 10 "Homes" in 10 months. Little achievements along the way have been thrilling but today's was THE one: I lowered to the ground from plank...NOT from my knees but from my toes. It feels like a HUGE achievement. I'm no petite, delicate flower - and I'm very unfit and in my 40s - so this is a total milestone moment! I'll be continuing to year end. Might make December a three-a-day month, just to challenge myself. Wanted to thank you for making this available. It's been great!
I feel as though this home series has not only been helping my yoga practise, but also my spirit. After every home session I honestly feel rejuvenated. It's amazing. Thanks Adriene for being a total star 🥰
this flow was AMAZING today! Personally it was the first day I went through without struggling at all and it just flowed and clicked! Good job everyone!
As calming and restorative as some of the slow moving practices are, I love a good flow that gets the blood moving and the body and breath in sync with each other. Definitely adding this one to my favorites playlist! Nothing like hitting that reset button to get us all ready for the second half of this journey! Shout out to everyone in the YWA fam - we got this! Namaste Adriene, Benji and the entire YWA team 🙏🧘♀️❤️
Feels so good. I love the combo of comments that make us laugh and those which are deeply insightful. "Bring the thumbs to the third eye -killin'it ..then calmly to the thank you" Code switching at its best. Thanks for another great day.
this was amazing and lovely practice, i am in the journal now, today in my 16 day, i love it, doing it in the morning, my body is enjoying this and telling me every day, thanks !!!! then Thanks Adriene!!!
I've been a regular for about two years now and I love that there's always something new for me to learn mixed in with the usual classic poses. Just learned pyramid pose during this video and it felt great. Two years and some poses I sink into completely and others like happy baby are still difficult. I like that I get to be a novice and experienced all at the same time. Glad for all the folks who have found Adriene during quarantine. Welcome to all the quarantine newcomers!
Well done everyone! I feel so grateful to be part of this community and know when I whisper “namaste” that there are so many others whispering it too ❤️ thank you ❤️
What I love about these tougher practices is the realization that a few weeks ago I wouldn't of been able to do this, wasn't stretching that deep, etc.The journey is indeed the reward!
I first did the "Slow your roll" practice then revisited this reset.... People do not understand (except for us;) what the breath and stretching do for the body. The entire body, all systems. It is April 18, 2020. My mom is in a long term care facility. She tested positive for CoVid yesterday. She is very strong and her bloodwork was really great so I am optimistic. But Yoga? has kept me positive, looking forward and hopeful for whatever comes my way. Thank you for being here Adriene. Words can not express what having you to turn to means to me. I am sure there are many here who agree with me. Stay safe. Much Love. ~namaste xoxo
Hello dear friends! Give yourself a high five and a hug today, you've reached the halfway mark! And it's here that we reset. Did you find something new in your practice today?
Yoga With Adriene yes! I did the side plank in full extension! I am 67 and choose to adapt several poses to “save” my shoulders. Today I did the side plank in full elbow and leg extension. Won’t be doing that a lot though.😝
Why do I cry after experiencing this with you???? I have not ever had this happen after yoga before. Thank you.... this is changing me..❤❤
Today had a surprise for me ! I found that I was able to rest the top of my head on the ground while being in the wide-legged forward fold. It had *never* happened before and I feel so proud, strong and connected!
@@pameeds1 67?! Congratulations!! 💙👏
An extra long Savasana 😅
Who by now mastered the arsana of moving their phones with each pose gracefully? 😁
Yup! The graceful slide my screen to the other side of my mat... and hand back in position!
Yup, gracefully moving my laptop every time 😁
Yes - getting quite good at seamless shifting of the phone!!
Oops, that's me! 💖
Lol!! Definitely
Who else is being helped by this practice to combat homesickness??
Thank you, Adriene and to the whole, online loving community of Yoga with Adriene.
Something shifted today, it was so different!
No anger, no upset, no tears, no bad self talk... In fact at the end I caught myself thinking 'I'm doing this, it's awesome and I can do this'
I am eternally greatful to you Adriene, for providing us all with such powerful tools ❤️ I was not expecting anything more than a little bit more physical fitness when I started this, what I actually got was the chance to work through some negative thought patterns that have plagued me my whole life. I'm not saying they are gone, but I can definately deal with them in a MUCH better way now!

Sam King it’s quite something, isn’t it?
I felt it too! When I saw the thumbnail I said “oh god....” but then found myself enjoying this seemingly different flow! I surprised myself! :) 🙏
Love this! About to get on the mat🧘♀️💕
Yay! I’m so proud of you keep going 😊
@@3rddaycompounds I hope you enjoyed as much as I did today 😁 ❤️
anyone else here doing this while were on quarantine!! this series is giving me structure and peace in a chaotic situation were in :) thanks adriene!
I'm here with you! This has become a staple part of my day now!
YES I have been doing this every morning during quarantine to start my day with positivity and structure! Then I come and read all of the comments hahaha
Yes I have been doing this for the past 2 weeks every night . We are in stage 2 here in Melbourne. This yoga practice has helped me so much at this crazy time .
Yes. I began 15 days ago.
I couldn't cope without this - this is a true gift - thank you
There should be a 30 day yoga program almost every month.
This is amazing
there is!!
Sometimes it’s a 31 day program!
Amalia A Just cycle back through the old ones.
YWA provides playlists for every month! :-) just not a new video every day, but every sunday!
Hi Amalia! We do a new calendar with a theme each month which comes with an easy to follow playlist! Stay tuned for Feb free calendar soon! xxoo
Can we take a moment to appreciate how beautiful of a flow this was. Adriene really outdid herself, this was so lovely
I did real side planks today! This has been a goal for me for some time. Something shifted and it just happened. I didn’t even realize what was happening until I realized I actually did it. Amazing
Same for me! Clearly Adriene has helped build our strength through these days. :D
me too! side planks are us!
I was feeling the same way! Whoa, I actually did the side planks!!
@@madisonweeks9545 I think it's also the mental aspect. Once you believe you can do the side plank, the body seems to make it a little easier!
Chyenne Porter Yes I felt the exact same thing! I am amazed with how much effort Adriene puts into her practice. Not just the guiding us but also lining up the routines to make everything feel seamless and natural. I dont have proper words other than she’s the best :D

Hi Suzen - also 71, practicing at home, waking up the old bones (and muscles). This day 15 is a great flow which I will repeat.
Adriene is the best teacher I have had the pleasure to have practiced with. I have 'got this' and she has got me.
This is the 15th day of the rest of my life.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’ve been doing these 30 day journeys every day since February and today I FINALLY did a side plank! Unmodified! Hips up! On my feet, not my knees, feeling balanced! Not collapsed in my shoulders! I was laughing to myself in joy the whole time. I can’t believe I did it!
I am noticing now how this 30 days is infiltrating into my daily life, it’s the small things like engaging my core when doing the dishes so as not to hurt my lower back, or squatting down to load the washing machine instead of just bending over and hurting my back.. so cool. Namaste.
YESSS
I keep saying to myself: "head of heart, heart over pelvis" everytime I feel I'm slouching... Hahaha
Same!
@@Eglye Same! It's been 2 weeks and my posture is 10x better!
It helps a surprising amount with lifting and other forms of exercise! Every time I have to lift something heavy, I remember to press into all four corners of the feet, and stand up straight!
Enjoyed this practice with an open window today - heard the lovely street musicians and saw a rainbow in the sky. I am all reset and ready for the week, thank you :)
If we all got here we can go all the way through together!!
We should be really proud of ourselves 😊
Reset is the perfect theme for today, cause I really need some acceptance and reset with how the last few days went 🌻
Today is my YWA anniversary! A year ago today I took my first tentative steps with the 20 minute Yoga for Beginners video, and I've been practicing almost every day since. And what a transformation.

Today reaffirmed one of the reasons that I love doing yoga with Adriene: her silliness as well as her humanness and of course her acceptance of us all wherever we are. I loved the suggestions for different options of how to hold our feet or pant legs or leg hair (the height of fun silliness right there!) during happy baby. I feel accepted as she always says " your version" and reminds me that it's ok if my body can't fold completely in half yet. True namaste right there!
And don't forget lion breath!
namaste to you too! 💗💗
At the end of every practice I always find myself reading the comment section. How amazing is this community. I love it. Namaste ❤
Same for me! ❤
You are keeping me sane Adriene! Thank you for your guidance, humor and excellent "connections". Peace and blessings. Namaste.
Day 15, everybody, let's go. Today is particularly chilly here. I am super charged to do this, and "press the reset button," as Adriene said. Way to commit everyone. We're all awesome. Looking forward to see what the second half of this journey has in store for me. Can't wait to do this now as it just came out. Thank you, Adriene for the big 'ol smile you put on my face on this magical morning. You can do this, everyone. Namaste.
I found this to be a challenging and unpredictable practice! Great for me to save for every once in a while so it remains unfamiliar, surprising, and new.
OK I hope that people don’t think I’m crazy. But today’s reset couldn’t have come at a better time. I was able to accomplish the side planks on each side and the twist and felt a sense of confidence that I have not felt in a long long time. After my practice I had to head to the dentist to get a filling redone and I can tell you that my trips to the dentist have been spotty for the last 30 years Due to my extreme fear. I can tell you that while I was waiting for the numbing to start, I used the breathing techniques that I learned over the last 15 days when I felt anxiety and fear creeping in. Upon taking those breaths and knowing that I am a stronger version of myself because of the last two weeks I was able to bring my mind to a place of peace and was ready for the work when the dentist came in to start. Thank you to everyone in this community, and most of all thank you Adrienne.
hello, I'm back on the mat after one week break but very happy to continue the journey, thank you, with respect and love
I’m so much stronger than I was 15 days ago it’s crazy! Well done everyone! Namaste 🙏
Yay! Can't believe I've made it half way!
Heading into "second semester" in our challenge, I have some observations: first, I practice yoga first thing in the morning and of course in my pj's. I am having major shirt cave happening in down dog and the lions breath was quite pungent for me. Also, during happy baby, Adriene, how did you know I use my leg hair to hold on to? Just kidding! But not about lions breath... :-O
Gretchen Rohr I saw my chest too a lot today 😂
When you asked, "Notice how you feel," I realized that I felt good, the best I have all day. You somehow always know what I need to hear. Thank you Adriene!
There were a couple of moments this morning when I thought 'no way Adrienne' but then gave it a go and found I could kind of get there (kind of). So thank you Adrienne. Never thought I'd get this far xx
Omg same
one of my favorite session, challenging but so rewarding at the end 💛
Am I the only one who almost starts crying every time Adriene says "Namaste"? 🙏🏽
Anna Bilenka , no, I’m right there with you! Every.darn.time! 🙏😭
Loved this! Didn't think I would make it this far but I could actually do this. Feeling great. Thanks Adriene!
This is my fifth yoga with Adriene challenge to do this year and I can proudly say that I did the full side planks with no problems today! Sometimes progress is super gradual and it’s amazing to see the small strides we can make with an almost daily practice❤️
Reset..restart.. your instructions are reverting my robot life back into a natural human life..
The oxygen of Yoga becomes the oil of my bones! Thanks Benji..i mean Adriene.
I cant believe I could do everything in that class! It’s because of you Adriene! And me, for showing up! 🙏❤️
I was excited to start BREATH at the beginning of January as it came out, my first 30 day series in real time with Adriene. I kept up for two days until I fell off. Over two months later, I joined again. This time I was doing it, I was building real momentum and showing up day after day. For the last few videos of the series, I felt the real strength and ease that I had dreamed of through months of trembling, sweating, resting during core work, taking extended breaks, showing up again. I was excited and inspired to immediately jump in to this HOME journey.
But as soon as I started HOME, the ease was gone. I, fully expecting to coast through the first few days when things were supposed to be easy, trembled and sweated and strained again. I was very disappointed. In one of the early videos Adriene was talking about discipline, and most of me was thinking about the pint of icecream I ate the other day, the few pounds I gained, the lack of a break I took between the two series, wondering if any of those could explain the "reset" in strength I'd experienced. But a tiny part of me said something different: "what if discipline means continuing to show up, even though I'm not progressing the way I thought I would? What if discipline means trusting that my strength will return, as long as I show up?"
I was putting off doing this video all day because it sounded hard. I've been showing up every day, getting some benefits, but mostly working through my frustration at feeling weaker than I was a month ago. But this video was EASY. I broke a sweat, I worked hard, but I wasn't waiting for it to end. I didn't feel like there was anything here that I couldn't handle. I feel I'm developing the most important muscle, the muscle that helps me show up.
"just notice how you feel"
I feel GOOD.
(Thanks for reading, I just felt really inspired to say these things! And thank you, Adriene, your videos have been one of my all-time best discoveries! :-)
Feeling great! It’s been YEARS since I last consistently practiced Yoga but these old bones are starting to remember. Thank you for this beautiful practice ❤️
Let's do this! Everyone should be so proud of themselves!☺👍
day 269th in books...loved it...awesome journey going on...
Day 15 was so yummy 😊 can't believe we're mid way through home already! The comment about leg hair at the end gave me a much needed giggle this morning 😆 namaste ❤️✌️
Thank you Adriene for your generosity, time and effort and for your kindness. Your program is so needed right now and is making home isolation a lot more grounded. Thank you so much. Big love to you from Australia xxx
Standing wide legged forward fold is the bees knees 💚🙏🏻💙🌻🌻🌻
My favourite day so far! Felt so good to move through a quick vinyasa flow ♡
Happy Valentine's Day to my February 2021 friends! What a nice little self-love practice. If you're cooped up and alone like me today, this is such a cozy little gift to give ourselves. Big hugs from -17 degrees F, Midwest, USA!
I love that I am trying to build some strength and decided to do push-ups. 10 s later she mentioned "feel free to do some push-ups if you want to"
Having YWA throughout all the lockdowns has been such a huge blessing 🙌🏻 we are 3 months into our 3rd lockdown & the gloominess of winter is making it tough but yoga is helping me appreciate the little things more 🙏🏻💙
Uh oh, third lockdown? Where are you commenting from? We're just wrapping up our second lockdown in Ontario, Canada.
@@lydiahicks7577 we're in Wales, UK. Our third lockdown started in December & there's currently no end in sight 🤷🏻♀️ but I'm grateful that we are safe 🙏🏻
I love how inclusive these videos are! No matter your mobility or flexibility- Adriene really makes sure that we can all do it together and feel good while doing it
I felt so strong and stable throughout this practice! I’ve always struggled with side/oblique lifts but today I did it without a problem! Thank you Adrienne. I haven’t felt this way about myself in a very long time. Day 15 was a blast!
Same! Today felt so great.
Same same pals 🙏🏼💕
My favorite practice so far for me, for sure! Absolutely loved this flow x
This one felt sooo good. Energizing, encouraging and managed to find my breath and just feel completely calm. Found myself just smiling because I haven't felt so good in a long time. We can do this, everybody!!
it’s been about two weeks of not doing yoga daily and i’ve really been missing it. a good reset today to get me back on the journey
“Embrace exactly who you are and where you are today...” 😌 Thank you so much Adriene 💗 Namaste 🙏🏻✨
ok so I know this is 2 years ago 30 day journey but I needed to comment somewhere so here it is. I started using Yoga with Adriene 3 years ago. Loved it and originally wanted to start by doing the 30 day journey but something about it just wasn't hitting me so I stopped that and just started picking and doing videos for about a year or so. Love using this site I also utilized a local Yoga studio. I have been doing Yoga since the early 90's. Anyway when covid happened I went full time Yoga with Adriene. So flash forward to Feb. 2022 - I took on the new 30 day journey - religiously!! Every day. I didn't want to stop so now I am going backwards and doing all the 30 day journey's I'm on my 3rd one (Home) I think this is the one I originally started and stopped. Anyway I"m loving it and plan to continue. It is really cool to see the changes, progress and "journey" if you will of each year. Thank you Adriene.
So happy I’m still here.
Good night
See you tomorrow.
day 15 complete
I enjoyed today. I feel like I'm doing better
My journey into the wondrous world of the side plank - a one chapter series: So the first time I attempted the side plank was two months ago and I didn't last even a second, but today I FREAKING DID IT, I fell just before Adriene said one and I am beyond excited and so happy, SO WELL DONE TO ME AND TO EVERYONE WHO KEEPS TRYING AND DARES TO OVERCOME THEIR LIMITS!
This community is so loving and wonderful ❤️ I am so thankful
Half way up the 30 day mountain. I can't imagine a day where this practise would not improve my day and well being. Warmest wishes to this lovely supportive community from the icy west coast of Scotland. It is nice knowing I am not alone on my yoga journey.
Oh man I feel strong!!! I thought this was going to be so hard but I moved through with a lot of grace for myself ❤️❤️❤️
Same! I was so proud of myself today! We rock!
I love how she doesn't brag about the new merch ! Still ordered one though, you deserve it !
Dear Adriene, thank you so much, I am getting so much from this 25 minutes a day any more would have felt to much right now so it's perfect. I find your way of talking us through the postures very clear and supportive of listening to myself and not over reaching. Thanks again, Namaste
Ive been following the channel for about 2 years and this has been my favourite video yet! All the movements flowed so well! Love and respect from Newfoundland, Canada :)
Agree that is a very nice flow. This will end up in the do over often list! :-)
Me too!! Grand Falls-Windsor! What about you? :)

Day 15 woooooo!!!!! I’m surprised how much I enjoyed the vinyasa today, and more surprisingly how easily i could do them as opposed to when i try to do yoga but keep falling. I’m not sure if the practice is going easy or if my body is opening up a bit but I’m enjoying how I’m able to keep up with the rhythm 😁 Thank you Adriene for this beautiful journey and for all the effort you put in. You’re amazing!
What a beautiful flow today! My eyes are usually glued to the screen during those movements but today I just got what she wanted me to do without looking a lot of the time. I am also starting to really try to take up space. When throughout my whole life all I wanted was to be as small as possible. And now I can embrace my presence at least during the practice. I am so grateful for Adriene and all of you 🙏
This one reminds me how much I love to do yoga with you. ❤ the intro music still makes me a bit teary
A friend told me about these daily yoga practices with Adriene. These have been my go-to's during the COVID-19 pandemic. Love the format and sequencing. Just finished Day 15 and look forward to each day's theme. Benji the dog is a nice addition to the practice. Thank you, Adriene, for making these amazing videos.
Lots of love to all my fellow yogis.... Namaste💙
Hello beautiful people around the world 💛💛
What a way to start the day! Feeling love, stillness, and power! It’s going to o be a good one! Hope yours will be too 💛
one of the yummiest practices from this playlist, loved it!
Pulled a good sweat on today’s practice, and lots of love for my hip sockets. Proud to make it half way through this journey so far! 🙏
Today has been one of the lessons that I have liked the most, I started with yoga with HOME and today I have followed everything with ease and enjoyment, I have really noticed my improvements in all senses, strength, balance, calmness, breathing.... I'm addicted to yoga!!! Thank you so much Adriene!!!
I agree with Sam King - at the end I thought I can do this; even when my back was to the screen. Great flow! Love being a part of this community. Great work everyone. Namaste.
Namaste, Denise! x
Well done!
You are amazing!!!!! Today was a HARD day; I ended up yelling at my kids and crying more than once. I was tempted to just go to bed and skip my yoga practice since I hadn’t gotten to it this morning, but thought that I needed to show up for myself.
When I saw the title of today’s practice, I started laughing at how perfect it was to have a reset practice for the day when I desperately needed one of those. I also got my left leg up from downward-facing dog into a lunge for the first time without having to use my hands to guide it up!!! I’m so grateful for this practice and for your generous, beautiful soul that allows me to utilize this in my life. Thank you for helping to turn my day around, my darling friend.
I’ve decided to dedicate most of my energy into taking care of myself in order to heal from some traumatic things from 2019. This morning for whatever reason I was feeling particularly anxious, upset, and hopeless, even while spending time with a dear friend. I rushed into this practice trying to rid myself of these consuming thoughts without much luck, which was pretty frustrating, but slowly I started to feel calmer, as I expected. What I didn’t expect was what happened when I decided to pause the video and stay on my back to meditate for a while at the end. It was like my inner voice released itself and quieted my intrusive thoughts. I felt blanketed in self love and I kept seeing this beautiful sky blue color. My mind told me all these beautiful and reassuring things about myself, like why I’m a good person, why people love me, just things I really needed to hear. It ended with a phrase I’m going to do my best to carry with me: “You are everything to me, because you are me.” I really can’t thank you enough Adriene 💗
💞💞💞💞💞
So much love how wonderful x
I just wanted to say thank you so so much for sharing this with all of us. As I finished this practice today, feeling pretty good, I scanned through comments and my gaze came to rest on yours. Tears came into my eyes. What a beautiful moment you experienced.
so lovely, I'm really happy for you! sometimes these amazing shifts come unexpectedly💖
@@musicsummer129 🥺 oh my goodness. Only seeing this now. So happy it resonated with you 💗
Today I found myself actually able to do the side planks and thinking "I am strong" as I did them. What a boost. :)
This has been my favourite of the series by far! This is one I'll return to. It had just the right pace of flow for where I am at right now, and I've been working on my wide-legged forward fold, so always appreciate the practise. Namaste! :)
My favorite session so far!❤️
Wow, we have managed to reach halfway! This was tough in bits but great. I can feel myself getting stronger. Have a great day😊🙏
I’ve been trying to thaw a frozen shoulder for over a year (therapy and at home things) I have to say that I can see a huge difference in what I’m able to do in these last 15days. Thank you
I've made it to the halfway point! I'm so proud of myself after not doing yoga for months. I'm really looking forward to the next half of this journey, so thank you, Adriene :-)
I have to say, yoga with genuine LOLs peppered throughout is the BEST kind of yoga. "Get down lowwww" had me chuckling. Love ya Adriene! :D
That was a special one! I felt joy building inside of me and suddenly a huge smile broke through and stayed on my face. I am truly grateful for this experience. Namaste 🙏
Home yoga has never meant so much.
This is one of my favorite practices of all time! Loved every minute of it! Namaste🙏🥰🌠
So, I started this back in Jan...and it took until end of Feb to complete. Circumstances!
But with lockdown, I decided at the start of April to redo it.
Um...and then I decided to do it again in May, and then that I'd just carry on.
It's now 23/10/20, and since September I've been doing two sessions a day. So by the end of the month I'll be "caught up" and have done 10 "Homes" in 10 months.
Little achievements along the way have been thrilling but today's was THE one: I lowered to the ground from plank...NOT from my knees but from my toes.
It feels like a HUGE achievement. I'm no petite, delicate flower - and I'm very unfit and in my 40s - so this is a total milestone moment!
I'll be continuing to year end. Might make December a three-a-day month, just to challenge myself.
Wanted to thank you for making this available. It's been great!
Umm. I think you'll find you are NOT unfit. Doing two yoga sessions a day proves that. You're doing an amazing thing!
I feel as though this home series has not only been helping my yoga practise, but also my spirit. After every home session I honestly feel rejuvenated. It's amazing. Thanks Adriene for being a total star 🥰
Bless you may the spirit be healthy to shine through the body in wellness and vitality.-Ocean, Sue's Awsome Daughter of the Stars
Today was exactly what I needed. Thank you Adrienne 🙏
this flow was AMAZING today! Personally it was the first day I went through without struggling at all and it just flowed and clicked! Good job everyone!
Great job-Ocean Sue's Awsome Daughter of the 🌟
As calming and restorative as some of the slow moving practices are, I love a good flow that gets the blood moving and the body and breath in sync with each other. Definitely adding this one to my favorites playlist! Nothing like hitting that reset button to get us all ready for the second half of this journey! Shout out to everyone in the YWA fam - we got this! Namaste Adriene, Benji and the entire YWA team 🙏🧘♀️❤️
Feels so good. I love the combo of comments that make us laugh and those which are deeply insightful. "Bring the thumbs to the third eye -killin'it ..then calmly to the thank you" Code switching at its best. Thanks for another great day.
this was amazing and lovely practice, i am in the journal now, today in my 16 day, i love it, doing it in the morning, my body is enjoying this and telling me every day, thanks !!!! then Thanks Adriene!!!
I've been a regular for about two years now and I love that there's always something new for me to learn mixed in with the usual classic poses. Just learned pyramid pose during this video and it felt great. Two years and some poses I sink into completely and others like happy baby are still difficult. I like that I get to be a novice and experienced all at the same time. Glad for all the folks who have found Adriene during quarantine. Welcome to all the quarantine newcomers!
This was wonderful. One of my favorite classes so far. Thank you so much for guiding us through this journey. :)
Well done everyone! I feel so grateful to be part of this community and know when I whisper “namaste” that there are so many others whispering it too ❤️ thank you ❤️
I always love it when we do lion’s breath!!! 🙏❤️
We cannot self assess when anger or sadness is in our hearts. This course has taught me how to calm down. Thank you!
Hi to my YAH buddies stay strong!
When I wake up I'm so stiff that I don't want to move but I know after yoga I'll feel amazing and that gets me up.
What I love about these tougher practices is the realization that a few weeks ago I wouldn't of been able to do this, wasn't stretching that deep, etc.The journey is indeed the reward!
I first did the "Slow your roll" practice then revisited this reset.... People do not understand (except for us;) what the breath and stretching do for the body. The entire body, all systems. It is April 18, 2020. My mom is in a long term care facility. She tested positive for CoVid yesterday. She is very strong and her bloodwork was really great so I am optimistic. But Yoga? has kept me positive, looking forward and hopeful for whatever comes my way. Thank you for being here Adriene. Words can not express what having you to turn to means to me. I am sure there are many here who agree with me. Stay safe. Much Love. ~namaste xoxo
This sequence ticks all the boxes for me! Def saving it as a favorite
i love love love this flow
