Great! You have helped me more than you know. Im epileptic, and I have also been diagnosed with PTSD. Your videos have been my support for years. Now, I’m having brain surgery in 3 weeks, and your yoga videos are what get me through most days. When I’m focusing on my breathing and living in the moment on the mat, I’m not scared and stressed about surgery. Thank you Adriene, for helping me realize just how much yoga and meditation help
Admire day 5🎉 Adriene you weren't wrong when you said this one will bring the heat 🤣🥵 thank you Adriene for this practice, and to anyone who practised at the same time x💖🧘🏼♀️🙏
I love this community! Reading these comments, knowing we’re all here spinning around, doing this thing together has me feel thankful this morning. My heart goes out to anyone and everyone putting in the work to connect more deeply to themselves and others. There’s no separating that which is intrinsically connected! Here’s to us! Devotion to the journey! -Good/Bad- Showing up is the hardest part! ✌️
208/365 of 2021✅ today is my birthday. At the end of a very awkward day, I went alone to the beach and this this practice listening to the waves, looking at the moon and the stars in the sky. At the end put my feet in water. An interesting way to start a new year of my life. I want to be able to feel that sense os freedom throughout the entire year. Thanks Adriene. Thanks everyone 🙏
I‘m 62 years old, from Switzerland. Adriene has acompanied my yoga daily practice for the past 4.5 years. This is my absolute favourite video - nothing too fancy, just a perfect flow with everything I like to work on. (and not too much talking either😉). Thank you Adriene for being in my living room every day, you are great. with love, Carla
I did this practice 10 months ago, in the EXPAND calendar, and I loved it. Now doing it in 2024, in the GET TO KNOW calendar I love it even more. I really feel in those 10 months I've got even stronger. Doing this practice this time, felt easier, and calmer. I retained my breath much easier then last time, and didn't have to pause the video as much as last time. I really enjoyed this practice. Thank you Adriene this was awesome, though it was weird practicing without Benji. Can't wait to see you both tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏💜
There are so many things I appreciate about this channel. Once I found it its been hard to do any other yoga videos! 1. I really appreciate your focus on feeling over appearance of poses. While you offer challenging modifications you always emphasize that the pose should feel good in one's individual body, so I never feel intimidated by your practices. You use really specific and descriptive language on how to move through each pose with good form, and how to protect your body. 2. You place an emphasis on mental health alongside physical health and your practices always leave me feeling more tuned in to my inner world and grounded in my physical space. 3. Your videos place a wonderful emphasis on how we can cultivate our own yoga practices, and never push products or glamorize what yoga really is. UA-cam yoga feels super saturated with consumerism and an idealized body/lifestyle that is pushed. But I have never felt that pressure from your channel, and I'm so refreshed by that! Thanks for all the amazing work you do. From a 4+ year YWA follower
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 hi sweet friend 💞 We haven't got much out of the ordinary planned this weekend. Our weather is being really changeable atm. It was wet and cold this morning, blazing hot sunshine this afternoon then thunderstorms early evening! So if there is a break in the weather then hopefully my grandaughter and I will manage to get our second lot of vegetables planted and the rest of our flowers and that will almost certainly be the limit of my energy so hot chocolate and snuggles 😋 How about you?
@@loublou5886 Wow! 😁 That sounds great! I was the hot chocolate 🍫 and snuggles? Did you get vegetables planted? How's the weather now? I'm working 💪🏾 out in between instructing English classes online. 😉
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 oooh fabulous. I'm always astounded and maybe a little envious of your energy lol. The weather has continued to be really unpredictable and so all we managed to do was to earth up the potatoes before it poured down again this weekend. So no flowers in yet which is a shame but I guess we will just have some prettiness into autumn this year 🙏 I have been finding myself getting a bit fed up of doing nothing now and for some reason have been having an urge to try my hand at quilting. So I've borrowed a sewing machine from my friend and have been looking at pretty fabrics and lots of youtube videos. So I'm looking forward to getting started on that. I tend to throw myself in wholeheartedly when I start something so it's quite likely everyone will be getting quilts and throws for Xmas 😂 I had my feeding tube removed finally today and was discharged from the Macmillan nurses. I don't know if you have them over there but they are specialist cancer nurses and hold your hand right from the moment of diagnosis. They have been absolutely amazing and invaluable and certainly made the whole process much more doable. I am going to ask the Dr for my scans and things next time as I chose not to really know much until I got the all clear. Apparently I had a stage 3 which had spread to lymph nodes locally but nowhere else. So although it was quite big I feel extremely lucky 🙏 I can't wait to be able to do some proper stretching now I'm able to 💝 How are your English lessons going? Are you still doing them online or are you doing any in person now? What else have you been up to?
I'm always playing catch up with Adriene videos, so I'm a few days behind, but I stick with it and try to complete every month. I was also really pleasantly surprised by how challenging yet energizing this video was 😎💪❤ def a favorite to save!
A wonderful morning my yoga family. I'm feeling so great, energized and strong. Really need these practices to get me back in tune for each day. Thanks very much Adriene, your team and the yoga community. Love. ❤❤❤
Isn’t it funny how sometimes the right Yoga with Adriene practice comes at exactly the right time! Just leaving a job which hasn’t been a great experience to start another - Freedom Flow was spot on! I needed this 🙏🦋
Noticing this too. Even if you've not been doing YWA for a while & a feeling brings you back, It's always the exact practice you need at the right time to strengthen, sooth , hug, heal or nourish you 🙏❤️
bloom day 5, may 5 12:33pm. after about two years of doing ywa videos every day and just now reflecting back on when i first started, my body has built up so much strength and I've gained so much love and confidence in myself. i no longer feel self-conscious doing yoga, and today i did this video in my backyard regardless if my neighbours could see me. have a beautiful day and take some time to celebrate how far you've come showing up at each practice!
just did this yoga sequence again for expand. was very anxious and feeling out of place today as i went on a road trip with my parents a few hours away from my home. was anxious, sad, and unable to feel calm and collected at all during the beginning of this video, as travel makes me feel this way especially knowing i don't have my own bed to sleep in. but through the middle i was telling myself loving affirmations and listing a multitude of things i am grateful for. by the end i said "i love me, i love myself, thank you for doing this, no matter what happens and how far you may plunge into the depths of despair in life, i will always be here for myself, knowing yoga, meditation, and breathwork IS the solution to anything" (along with a good hot cup of tea). love this community, love ywa, love yoga, there's a lot of love to go around!!
I've been following Adriene's calendar since late April and the 3 legged dog pose where you bring the knee to the elbows and nose has gotten slightly easier. It's still a challenging pose, but it's gone from "OMG! I can't do that!" to "I can do a few of these to remind myself I'm strong, yet not feel like I'm torturing myself."
@yogawithadriene I started my daily practice on January 1st 2023. On the 1st of April I began doing a daily double practice. Today I completed the YWA July 23 Expand programme. First time I have made it through a whole month using all of the prescribed videos and I am delighted by this achievement and excited to see what August brings. This video led me to tears at one point. It's amazing how emotive some of the practices can be. I did the meditation practice in the car this morning then redid it properly this evening with my little girl. Really hoping I can encourage her to engage with this activity as it has been wonderful for me. Thank you so much Adriene for all that you, Beautiful Benji and your wonderful team bring to this fantastic community. Namaste from Scotland.
Today marks 200 days in a row of coming to the mat and taking time for myself. There has been both big and subtle changes, both physical and mental. I have never stuck with anything this long before and the big difference is YWA and the community connected to it. Adriene, Benji and the entire YWA team, thank you for the gift you have given all of us. Namaste. 🙏❤️🧘♀️
I remember doing this practice 2-3 months ago, being covered in sweat, not being able to control or focus as much as I needed on my breath or thoughts, finding every single posture and flow extremely hard to do... And today, after our 30 days Yoga Challenge I was able to find that strength and confidence Adriene always talks about and I'm just crying? I didn't believe I could even finish the practice!! And I did it!! And I felt soooo strong and powerful and connected to myself and my breath that I'm crying (happy tears, I promise)!! I love this community, and I love you, Adriene, for helping me (and us) more than I could even express or explain with words. Sending you all the biggest virtual hug from Spain!! Here's to us!! Namaste 💖🧘🏼♀
Get To Know, day 19🎉 thank you, Adriene, for this practice, a little tired today so had to take a couple of breaks, but still such a good practice. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
Expand day 31, I did it yay! I got through the whole practice. I had to pause the video every now and again, to get my breath back or to roll my wrists. But I did it!!! 😂 I have loved the Expand July playlist, it was awesome! 😀 I can't wait to start the August playlist tomorrow, thank you Adriene for all that you do. You have brought such joy into my life with yoga, you are awesome, always remember that. Namaste my friend. 🙏 🧡
I’m here now - 13th June 2023. I am 18 years old and will be 19 later in the year. The sun is shining bright here in Manchester, England, and it has been for the past couple of weeks or so. I was divinely guided to this practice as my soul wanted to glow, now it is. Thank you so much, Adriene, and every single person practicing this right now, too. We are all amazing and may we now continuously glow from now on! ❤
I'm feeling so grateful to have you Adriene. Reading all the comments and seeing how many life you have changed thanks to those practices you offer on UA-cam have really moved me. Thank you thank you thank you. I love you
It feels really amazing to be finding my strength back again and being able to restart my daily yoga practice. 2021 has been worse than 2020 for me, in the last 7 months i've dealt with catching covid, carpal tunnel syndrome, being sick with typhoid fever, a real battle with depression thanks to starting therapy, dealing with my chronic illness ulcerative colitis each day, and finally standing up for myself enough to leave my relationship. I can't explain how good it feels to move with my breath and focus on me for those 15-30 minutes each day. I haven't been able to practice every single day but I'm feeling my strength come back after a year and a half of not moving, and it gives me so much hope for what's next
Some years drag on in monotony. Adrienne, thank you for being s wonderful reminder to sink back into this moment and into our bodies for self care, with a little wiggle room for a challenge. I might not be as fit as I used to be, but practicing yoga every day at least keeps me focused on feeling good rather than comparing myself to another time or other people. It's great. Thank you!
Yoga with Adriene has been extremely helpful for my mind and body during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks so much, Adriene, for making your fabulous yoga videos freely available to everyone. The world needs more altruistic people like you.
ADMIRE 💖 | February 5, 2024 | It's always a nice treat to come with Adriene into the beautiful greenery. This practice builds heat and gets the breath flowing which is nice on a busy workday. I took the freedom to swap the yogi bicycles for the toe taps from yesterday's practice, I find they help me isolate the core muscles better. 🙏
Wow. It had been nearly a year since I last did this sequence. It felt really good, even if now I am drenched on this hot day. I was reluctant to come down on my back because of the sweating but did so anyhow. The child poses are nicely placed for relaxation in this one. Energize day 27. 631 days in a row.
Bless up my yogi friend! I'm a day late. I made up this practice today. I concur it's a great sequence. I am pleased to be introduced to this jewel of a session. Best wishes! 🦋♥️🦋
I did not need all that sweat, but I certainly needed this sequence. I feel pretty good now. I would have liked to stay longer on the mat, but my mat said get up and shower. Expand day 31. 1030 days.
I remember the first time I did this flow, I was struggling so much and I was so angry with myself for not being able to go along. Today, having stopped and started again with yoga many times over, I struggle once more, if a little less, but I'd like to say that I at least treat myself with a little more grace. And in time, maybe the struggling will be a memory from long ago, but the grace still present
Bloom day 5. May 2023. Fabulous flow. First thing in the morning so I was a little stiff. This isn’t too challenging but I definitely built up some heat.
BLOOM 🌸 | May 3, 2023 | I'm switching up the sessions a bit this week as this one was scheduled for Friday which is my travel day. So I'm swapping it for the shorter PE Mind practice which I think will be perfect after a long day of travel. Today I enjoyed this one in my hotel room, waking me up nicely before a day with amazing business owners! 🙏
I have been trying to do a bit of yoga everyday since Dec. This was the first practice I had the confidence and built up strength to take my 3 legged dog for an entire walk through a vinyasa. Thank you for giving me the tools to make this journey more successful and with a steady, kind pace for body and mind improvements.
Popped in real quick for the final day of EXPAND (July 2023) and I sure am glad I did. It's been quite a while since I've made it to my mat. This was a great practice to re-invigorate me. I feel energized and refreshed. I'm looking forward to joining in, playing and growing with the August INTUIT calendar!! As always, thank you Adriene. See ya'll on the mat this next month!
adrienne, your have saved my life in this time of severe pain and insecurity and aside from healing the body and my insecure mind your followers are full of love and right now what could build more universal strength and shield us from the loneliness from this virus thanks for being my friend in the times when it’s so dark i may die and fir bringing me into a new light every day i love you adrienne snd i love you all xx namaste
Even having done yoga consistently for a while now I still have those days where my mind is elsewhere. Today was one of those. Despite coming in and out of thought while on the mat I managed to break a bit of a sweat and feel 10x better after this flow! Thanks, Adriene for always being here when I need it most.
I love this practice so much!! Whenever I do it, no matter what’s happening in my body, I feel so powerful, confident, and happy on the mat and off it afterwards! Thank you Adriene for this practice and everything you do ❤️
Unfortunately had to miss yesterday's practice, but this was a great way to start a gorgeous Friday! It's been rainy all week, but the sun's come out today 😊Bloom Day 5, May 2023 🌤
@Anya Forestell How was that run 🏃🏿♀️? I am going to have to go early evening after I instruct my second class today. How were the board games? 🎮 🎲🎯 That sounds fun! I love Connect 4.
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 I went for another run yesterday and it was lovely, a sunny run by the water! I also played more board games this weekend with another group. I don't usually love board games, but I'm challenging myself to be more open to them as they're a great way to spend time with loved ones ☺
It has been 10 years now that I have been frequently practicing yoga with you Adriene!! You have been my shinning light to keep on going, ‘and to whisper to my self ‘I am strong’’. I am forever grateful❤
Incidentally that discomfort has sorted itself out with this practice, I am as good as new❤️I need to be more aware of my body and be gentle with myself, it is no ones fault but my own, I take owness for it. Thanks Adriene, that was super cool. I am real glad you and your Mom are journeying together to rehabilitating, with your TLC and amazing attention it is fruitful for the two of you. Rather reassuring to know you are totally and completely human and have ups and downs, that is why I love you, there is no pretentiousness in you my Darling❤️Namaste🧘🏽♂️
Dear Adriene We have been doing yoga with you every day for over two months now, and finally, twenty years since having my youngest child, my abs are regaining definition, and I have a proper waist again. I am so so delighted. I also feel so healthy and am enjoying every minute. I love getting on to the mat daily and hope to continue to do so for a very long time. I cannot thank you enough for making yoga accessible on a daily basis to all of us. Thank you!
I expected this practice to be more difficult than it was, and almost switched it for a more gentle practice. In the end it was the best one I could have done! Thank you Adriene, and thank you to the YWA community. Bloom day five 🌸
This is one of my favourite practice since follow yoga with adriene at the begginning of the pandemic. There is enough movement and stretch and strength building, the length is perfect. I have been practicing this over an over again. Thank you for help me going through the thoughest time in my life with your calming and encouraging voice!
Started the July calendar strong, but then caught the nasty cold virus (not covid) going around and shortly after the stomach virus or food poisoning. It has been rough and I've missed this community/Adriene. Today was my first time back on the mat in a while and it felt wonderful. The sweat was embraced and needed to cleanse my system even more.
I’m here for Bloom day 5 (may 2023). How fitting that today is liberation day in my country, the day we were liberated from the Germans in ww2 in 1945. Today we celebrate our freedom 😃
Loved this firey practice today and the beautiful calming sounds of the sea on this video💙. Here in July for day 19 of Process. Hi to anyone else on the same Process journey and thank you Adriene as always 💕
Girl, as a beginner I was dying 😂 BUT in a good way, and this was the first flow that wasn't for beginners that I was able to fully complete. I did mine outside & was a sweatin LOL
The young Adriene kicked my butt again with this one. It just felt hard to do most of it but I did it and I'm thankful that I did. What a beautiful setting for us to take in today! Thank you!
@chippi chippi Namaste is a greeting used in India. It's Sanskrit for "I bow before you. It's a deep and honest way of saying "the holy in me recognizes the holy in you".
I was fortunate to do this practice in the beach today with the sound of the ocean as my background music. It was truly healing and magical. Thank you Adrienne!
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Wow! It's been almost a year since this session showed up on the calendar. I really enjoyed Bloom Day - 5. My cells, organs, muscles, and nerves are refreshed and lubricated. And to think 🤔 that I contemplated skipping, post-poning, or substituting this practice. It's exactly what I needed. Now, it's time for a quaint, short meditation before a few errands, and work. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋
I had no idea what was in store for me this morning! Came straight to the mat after waking up, chose this practice over a longer practice as my toddler is still sleeping and I wanted to get it done before he woke up. Daily yoga has been a lifesaver for me with sciatica and I am now starting to build strength and get into more flow practices. This was incredible. I feel so strong!
Shift, Day 19: I love the strength that your practice forces me to cultivate in asanas that I always considered easy, because I'm just more mindful of how I'm doing them now.
Adriene - my virtual yoga professor, your classes began with strengthening my mind. It's been 4 months of spending hours with you each week, and my body is now growing stronger along with it. Your grace is a blessing. Thank you times a million.
Today was the day I chose to hop back on the mat after months of no practice. I am SO glad I chose this video to come back. Adriene, you're definitely inspirational and everytime I'm asked "what kind of videos do you watch on YT for home practice" I always say "Yoga With Adriene is my one and only". After months without seeing any of your videos, I felt this morning as if I had returned to a long time no seen beloved teacher, and I loved it. I also felt that my running and fitness practice has allowed me to strengthen my core and this 30 min practice was just what I needed: fierce and focused, working with all the muscles I have tried to tone and strengthen these past months. It was such a blast, thank you immensely. See you soon(er than in 4 months or so). Keep up the amazing work. ♥
I'm so grateful for this👌🏾freedom flow for Expand Day 31:07:23✅😄🧘🏾♀️😌...this really helped to loosen those stiff neck & tight shoulders, loving the flow,just what's needed & a perfect end to my day. a liittle sad, expand practice ends today but delighted to start Intuit for August...huge thanks Adriene💖💞..and thx everyone that practiced along side me, it's been a great pleasure. Best Wishes. Namaste everyone.😊😌💖💖🙏🏾
This was so good today. I didn't sleep well and was feeling very groggy, even delayed starting. The only thing missing from today's practice was... BENJI! 🐶❤️
LOVED this. I usually cannot get through a full yoga video on UA-cam because the strength level is too high for me. This challenged me but kept me able to keep going and not get discouraged. Saving this one!
Its boiling hot today in London and I wasn't sure I could keep up with this practice...there was a lot of sweat going on but made it! Feeling great now, thank you Adriene ❤️
40 days of yoga, 41 days of the year. I love yoga with Adriene. It make me feel relaxed, and invigorating, and make my days goes smoothly. Thank you a million Adriene ❤️🧘🏽🙏🏼🇺🇾
It's Day 5 of my Feb 2024 Admire Journey - so cool to see this mix of throwbacks and more recent videos! Turns out that Adriene has ALWAYS been a legend! (Not a surprise at all. 🥰)
🥰Love it! love it! love it! Thank you Adriene for your graciousness and generosity! Truly inspiring! Wishes of a glowing and blossoming weekend to all in this bighearted community! Go out and spread wonders!✨
Sometimes I feel bad that I can't get going even earlier to squeeze in morning yoga, but I really do like it at the end of the day to wind down and re-set to home. Glad it helped you unwind, and hope tomorrow is a better day!
So proud of your growth, I have been following you for years, and your consistency, humour and great teaching abilities has gotten you so far!! Yay Adrienne!
Day 27 of Energise June' 22✅😀☘️🧘🏾♀️🌸 This is absolutely fabulous, excellent for deep stretch & strengthening. I came on so late today😅, asleep all day but, I just have to show up for my daily YWA dose of practice. Ty Adriene😊💝🌹 for this great nature session. See you Yogi lovelies 2moro😌🫶🏾😊 Namaste🙏🏾♥️♥️
Thank you for the reminder - to allow freedom of choice To stay true to stay with self intention(s) Namaste to all practising and enable self to Bloom May you find freedom within
Just perfect - I love how the practices meet me each day with where I am in myself. I have come a long way in my practice over the last 18 months with Adriene's guidance & even on days like today where I am so tired, getting on the mat and connecting with my breath and mindful movement is so nourishing - I am filled with gratitude. 🌳💚
Adriene, I gotta say your videos are amazing and I've been practicing with you every morning for the last 5 months. You're like my personal (and quite hilarious) yoga teacher. Namaste x
In 2011 and 2012 I struggled with a hernia in my lower back. After surgery and a couple of years of boring exercising, I found your yoga-channel. For 5 or 6 years you’ve made my daily practice sessions so much more fun and interesting and exciting. But two weeks ago the hernia pain returned and I panicked. Didn’t practice more than a couple of times very lightly. Today was the first complete session and I was ever so careful. But it went okay, pretty happy now. Hope this is the way back up!
From a yoga instructor, thanks for spreading the love of Yoga through your work and your own love bringing these free practices, Adriene! You're on your mission and we're along with you. xoxo
Soooo good. Did this in my backyard today under a blue sky, warm(ish) breeze, and seeing treetops rocking with the wind. Mind/body/spirit, meet Mother Earth. Loved this one so much.
Hello dear friends! How are you feeling after today's playful practice?
Dead but in a good way lol
Great, so wonderful to be doing poses so mindfully and somehow you always make me want more - thank you!
Great! You have helped me more than you know. Im epileptic, and I have also been diagnosed with PTSD. Your videos have been my support for years. Now, I’m having brain surgery in 3 weeks, and your yoga videos are what get me through most days. When I’m focusing on my breathing and living in the moment on the mat, I’m not scared and stressed about surgery. Thank you Adriene, for helping me realize just how much yoga and meditation help
Hello Adrienne, I am so thankful to you for changing my life during this quarentine. Thanks a ton. Lots of love from India💜

Watching in 2024. Great practice! But is it even yoga with Adriene if Benji isn’t there? 😂
I didn’t notice until u said! 😂
Also in 2024 and I thought the same thing!
Deffo not the same :D
This is probably one of my fave yoga flows I’ve ever done, but definitely strange without Benji!
Loved this practice. It gave me the opportunity to see just how strong my body is becoming. Thankyou, Adriene xxx
Getting stronger each day 😊

Apparently I had a stage 3 which had spread to lymph nodes locally but nowhere else. So although it was quite big I feel extremely lucky 🙏 I can't wait to be able to do some proper stretching now I'm able to 💝
How are your English lessons going? Are you still doing them online or are you doing any in person now? What else have you been up to?
I'm always playing catch up with Adriene videos, so I'm a few days behind, but I stick with it and try to complete every month. I was also really pleasantly surprised by how challenging yet energizing this video was 😎💪❤ def a favorite to save!
A wonderful morning my yoga family. I'm feeling so great, energized and strong. Really need these practices to get me back in tune for each day. Thanks very much Adriene, your team and the yoga community. Love. ❤❤❤
At last a sunny day in N E Scotland and this was the yummiest yoga practice to go with it! Namaste!
2024 Admire Day 4. Cold wet day here just got a little warmer with some yoga heat.
I loved this!! Just finished the 30 day FLOW series. Thank you Adrienne ❤
Fellow 30-day Flower here with you 😊 Really loved this practice too - nice to generate some heat!
Get to Know Day 19🌱
It was hard, but I enjoyed every bit of it🤩
Thank you, Adriene and ❤
Felt like I was partaking opposite that gorgeous sunny view too - what a fabulous, energising practice. Really kicks up the heat 🫶💪
Isn’t it funny how sometimes the right Yoga with Adriene practice comes at exactly the right time! Just leaving a job which hasn’t been a great experience to start another - Freedom Flow was spot on! I needed this 🙏🦋
I noticed that myself.
All the time!
Noticing this too. Even if you've not been doing YWA for a while & a feeling brings you back, It's always the exact practice you need at the right time to strengthen, sooth , hug, heal or nourish you 🙏❤️
Me too 😊
bloom day 5, may 5 12:33pm. after about two years of doing ywa videos every day and just now reflecting back on when i first started, my body has built up so much strength and I've gained so much love and confidence in myself. i no longer feel self-conscious doing yoga, and today i did this video in my backyard regardless if my neighbours could see me. have a beautiful day and take some time to celebrate how far you've come showing up at each practice!
just did this yoga sequence again for expand. was very anxious and feeling out of place today as i went on a road trip with my parents a few hours away from my home. was anxious, sad, and unable to feel calm and collected at all during the beginning of this video, as travel makes me feel this way especially knowing i don't have my own bed to sleep in. but through the middle i was telling myself loving affirmations and listing a multitude of things i am grateful for. by the end i said "i love me, i love myself, thank you for doing this, no matter what happens and how far you may plunge into the depths of despair in life, i will always be here for myself, knowing yoga, meditation, and breathwork IS the solution to anything" (along with a good hot cup of tea). love this community, love ywa, love yoga, there's a lot of love to go around!!
❤ I admire how since January strength flows freely through our practice!
Day 4 of Bloom, May 23. This journey is amazing. Adrienne you are amazing. And Benji is the best yoga partner one can get❤
I've been following Adriene's calendar since late April and the 3 legged dog pose where you bring the knee to the elbows and nose has gotten slightly easier.
It's still a challenging pose, but it's gone from "OMG! I can't do that!" to "I can do a few of these to remind myself I'm strong, yet not feel like I'm torturing myself."
@yogawithadriene I started my daily practice on January 1st 2023. On the 1st of April I began doing a daily double practice. Today I completed the YWA July 23 Expand programme. First time I have made it through a whole month using all of the prescribed videos and I am delighted by this achievement and excited to see what August brings. This video led me to tears at one point. It's amazing how emotive some of the practices can be. I did the meditation practice in the car this morning then redid it properly this evening with my little girl. Really hoping I can encourage her to engage with this activity as it has been wonderful for me. Thank you so much Adriene for all that you, Beautiful Benji and your wonderful team bring to this fantastic community. Namaste from Scotland.
Congratulations! On to August!
Thank you 💕 Be blessed 💗💕💓
Today marks 200 days in a row of coming to the mat and taking time for myself. There has been both big and subtle changes, both physical and mental. I have never stuck with anything this long before and the big difference is YWA and the community connected to it. Adriene, Benji and the entire YWA team, thank you for the gift you have given all of us. Namaste. 🙏❤️🧘♀️
I remember doing this practice 2-3 months ago, being covered in sweat, not being able to control or focus as much as I needed on my breath or thoughts, finding every single posture and flow extremely hard to do... And today, after our 30 days Yoga Challenge I was able to find that strength and confidence Adriene always talks about and I'm just crying? I didn't believe I could even finish the practice!! And I did it!! And I felt soooo strong and powerful and connected to myself and my breath that I'm crying (happy tears, I promise)!! I love this community, and I love you, Adriene, for helping me (and us) more than I could even express or explain with words. Sending you all the biggest virtual hug from Spain!! Here's to us!! Namaste 💖🧘🏼♀
Get To Know, day 19🎉 thank you, Adriene, for this practice, a little tired today so had to take a couple of breaks, but still such a good practice. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
GTK Day 19 ✅️ Time flies when you're growing ❤ Today was fun! GRACIAS SIEMPRE ❤
Expand day 31, I did it yay! I got through the whole practice. I had to pause the video every now and again, to get my breath back or to roll my wrists. But I did it!!! 😂 I have loved the Expand July playlist, it was awesome! 😀 I can't wait to start the August playlist tomorrow, thank you Adriene for all that you do. You have brought such joy into my life with yoga, you are awesome, always remember that. Namaste my friend. 🙏 🧡
I’m here now - 13th June 2023. I am 18 years old and will be 19 later in the year. The sun is shining bright here in Manchester, England, and it has been for the past couple of weeks or so. I was divinely guided to this practice as my soul wanted to glow, now it is. Thank you so much, Adriene, and every single person practicing this right now, too. We are all amazing and may we now continuously glow from now on! ❤
I'm feeling so grateful to have you Adriene. Reading all the comments and seeing how many life you have changed thanks to those practices you offer on UA-cam have really moved me. Thank you thank you thank you. I love you
It feels really amazing to be finding my strength back again and being able to restart my daily yoga practice. 2021 has been worse than 2020 for me, in the last 7 months i've dealt with catching covid, carpal tunnel syndrome, being sick with typhoid fever, a real battle with depression thanks to starting therapy, dealing with my chronic illness ulcerative colitis each day, and finally standing up for myself enough to leave my relationship. I can't explain how good it feels to move with my breath and focus on me for those 15-30 minutes each day. I haven't been able to practice every single day but I'm feeling my strength come back after a year and a half of not moving, and it gives me so much hope for what's next
Sending you love ❤️
Did this yoga in a beachside resort- so fitting with Adriene's setting 😂 Namaste, everyone ❤️
That sounds nice! Glad to see your comments. It had been a while. ☀️🙏💜
@@williamb7275 thanks william! I'm still here everyday and always happy to see your comments too! 🙏❤️🙌
Some years drag on in monotony. Adrienne, thank you for being s wonderful reminder to sink back into this moment and into our bodies for self care, with a little wiggle room for a challenge. I might not be as fit as I used to be, but practicing yoga every day at least keeps me focused on feeling good rather than comparing myself to another time or other people. It's great.
Thank you!
Yoga with Adriene has been extremely helpful for my mind and body during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks so much, Adriene, for making your fabulous yoga videos freely available to everyone. The world needs more altruistic people like you.
me too - the mat with adriene is my sanity saver - I tellt eh kids i just have to go and do my yoga and thats it - bliss
ADMIRE 💖 | February 5, 2024 | It's always a nice treat to come with Adriene into the beautiful greenery. This practice builds heat and gets the breath flowing which is nice on a busy workday. I took the freedom to swap the yogi bicycles for the toe taps from yesterday's practice, I find they help me isolate the core muscles better. 🙏
Wow. It had been nearly a year since I last did this sequence. It felt really good, even if now I am drenched on this hot day. I was reluctant to come down on my back because of the sweating but did so anyhow. The child poses are nicely placed for relaxation in this one.
Energize day 27. 631 days in a row.
Bless up my yogi friend! I'm a day late. I made up this practice today. I concur it's a great sequence. I am pleased to be introduced to this jewel of a session. Best wishes! 🦋♥️🦋
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 🤗
I admire your commitment. I am into my third year of daily YWA. I’m so glad it has become an integral part of my life too. Namaste 🙏🏽
@@paulmclaughlin6068💜🙏🏼
I did not need all that sweat, but I certainly needed this sequence. I feel pretty good now. I would have liked to stay longer on the mat, but my mat said get up and shower.
Expand day 31. 1030 days.
I remember the first time I did this flow, I was struggling so much and I was so angry with myself for not being able to go along. Today, having stopped and started again with yoga many times over, I struggle once more, if a little less, but I'd like to say that I at least treat myself with a little more grace. And in time, maybe the struggling will be a memory from long ago, but the grace still present
Bloom day 5. May 2023. Fabulous flow. First thing in the morning so I was a little stiff. This isn’t too challenging but I definitely built up some heat.
BLOOM 🌸 | May 3, 2023 | I'm switching up the sessions a bit this week as this one was scheduled for Friday which is my travel day. So I'm swapping it for the shorter PE Mind practice which I think will be perfect after a long day of travel. Today I enjoyed this one in my hotel room, waking me up nicely before a day with amazing business owners! 🙏
I have been trying to do a bit of yoga everyday since Dec. This was the first practice I had the confidence and built up strength to take my 3 legged dog for an entire walk through a vinyasa. Thank you for giving me the tools to make this journey more successful and with a steady, kind pace for body and mind improvements.
Thank you Adriene. I love how cute you have been throughout last 10years. Lots of love to all the Adriene versions on YWA.
Popped in real quick for the final day of EXPAND (July 2023) and I sure am glad I did. It's been quite a while since I've made it to my mat. This was a great practice to re-invigorate me. I feel energized and refreshed. I'm looking forward to joining in, playing and growing with the August INTUIT calendar!! As always, thank you Adriene. See ya'll on the mat this next month!
adrienne, your have saved my life in this time of severe pain and insecurity and aside from healing the body and my insecure mind your followers are full of love and right now what could build more universal strength and shield us from the loneliness from this virus
thanks for being my friend in the times when it’s so dark i may die and fir bringing me into a new light every day
i love you adrienne snd i love you all xx namaste
Even having done yoga consistently for a while now I still have those days where my mind is elsewhere. Today was one of those. Despite coming in and out of thought while on the mat I managed to break a bit of a sweat and feel 10x better after this flow! Thanks, Adriene for always being here when I need it most.
I love this practice so much!! Whenever I do it, no matter what’s happening in my body, I feel so powerful, confident, and happy on the mat and off it afterwards! Thank you Adriene for this practice and everything you do ❤️
Unfortunately had to miss yesterday's practice, but this was a great way to start a gorgeous Friday! It's been rainy all week, but the sun's come out today 😊Bloom Day 5, May 2023 🌤
Welcome back to class, Anya! It's always great to see you. Do you have any big plans for the weekend?
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 hello Zuri 🤗 I'm going for a run now, and going to have a board games afternoon with my friend tomorrow! What about you?
@Anya Forestell How was that run 🏃🏿♀️? I am going to have to go early evening after I instruct my second class today. How were the board games? 🎮 🎲🎯 That sounds fun! I love Connect 4.
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 I went for another run yesterday and it was lovely, a sunny run by the water! I also played more board games this weekend with another group. I don't usually love board games, but I'm challenging myself to be more open to them as they're a great way to spend time with loved ones ☺
It has been 10 years now that I have been frequently practicing yoga with you Adriene!! You have been my shinning light to keep on going, ‘and to whisper to my self ‘I am strong’’. I am forever grateful❤
Bloom day 5. I almost put my knees down on the high lunges, but I didn’t! I am so much stronger than when I first started, thank you Adriene ❤
Yessss ! you've done amazing :)
Incidentally that discomfort has sorted itself out with this practice, I am as good as new❤️I need to be more aware of my body and be gentle with myself, it is no ones fault but my own, I take owness for it. Thanks Adriene, that was super cool. I am real glad you and your Mom are journeying together to rehabilitating, with your TLC and amazing attention it is fruitful for the two of you. Rather reassuring to know you are totally and completely human and have ups and downs, that is why I love you, there is no pretentiousness in you my Darling❤️Namaste🧘🏽♂️
Dear Adriene
We have been doing yoga with you every day for over two months now, and finally, twenty years since having my youngest child, my abs are regaining definition, and I have a proper waist again. I am so so delighted. I also feel so healthy and am enjoying every minute. I love getting on to the mat daily and hope to continue to do so for a very long time. I cannot thank you enough for making yoga accessible on a daily basis to all of us. Thank you!
I expected this practice to be more difficult than it was, and almost switched it for a more gentle practice. In the end it was the best one I could have done!
Thank you Adriene, and thank you to the YWA community.
Bloom day five 🌸
Beautiful practice Adriene, thank you for helping us be our best version of ourselves for us and others ❤❤❤❤❤❤Namaste
This is one of my favourite practice since follow yoga with adriene at the begginning of the pandemic. There is enough movement and stretch and strength building, the length is perfect. I have been practicing this over an over again. Thank you for help me going through the thoughest time in my life with your calming and encouraging voice!
Just finished and feeling exactly the same! Namaste from my heart to yours! 💗🙏💗
This is the first time I did ALL the high lunge stuff. Usually I back off but today I decided to meet my edge and I'm glad I did 😊
Started the July calendar strong, but then caught the nasty cold virus (not covid) going around and shortly after the stomach virus or food poisoning. It has been rough and I've missed this community/Adriene. Today was my first time back on the mat in a while and it felt wonderful. The sweat was embraced and needed to cleanse my system even more.
I’m here for Bloom day 5 (may 2023). How fitting that today is liberation day in my country, the day we were liberated from the Germans in ww2 in 1945. Today we celebrate our freedom 😃
Loved this firey practice today and the beautiful calming sounds of the sea on this video💙. Here in July for day 19 of Process. Hi to anyone else on the same Process journey and thank you Adriene as always 💕
Girl, as a beginner I was dying 😂 BUT in a good way, and this was the first flow that wasn't for beginners that I was able to fully complete. I did mine outside & was a sweatin LOL
I was deciding between this fiery practice and a more relaxing one. This was was tough but I felt strong throughout it. Glad I chose this one.
The young Adriene kicked my butt again with this one. It just felt hard to do most of it but I did it and I'm thankful that I did. What a beautiful setting for us to take in today! Thank you!
Thanks!
Shift -Day 19 done ✅ Beautiful flow, with beautiful scenery on this beautiful Sunday Morning... I'm definitely glowing, Nameste 😊💕🙏🏻
@chippi chippi Namaste is a greeting used in India. It's Sanskrit for "I bow before you. It's a deep and honest way of saying "the holy in me recognizes the holy in you".
I was fortunate to do this practice in the beach today with the sound of the ocean as my background music. It was truly healing and magical. Thank you Adrienne!
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Wow! It's been almost a year since this session showed up on the calendar. I really enjoyed Bloom Day - 5. My cells, organs, muscles, and nerves are refreshed and lubricated. And to think 🤔 that I contemplated skipping, post-poning, or substituting this practice. It's exactly what I needed. Now, it's time for a quaint, short meditation before a few errands, and work. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋
I had no idea what was in store for me this morning! Came straight to the mat after waking up, chose this practice over a longer practice as my toddler is still sleeping and I wanted to get it done before he woke up. Daily yoga has been a lifesaver for me with sciatica and I am now starting to build strength and get into more flow practices. This was incredible. I feel so strong!
Shift, Day 19: I love the strength that your practice forces me to cultivate in asanas that I always considered easy, because I'm just more mindful of how I'm doing them now.
I agree, the flows are slow yet strong. Mindfulness is key - I always feel that the slower you practice, the more you will feel.
Expand day 31! Wow, the Expand program was so awesome, definitely one of my favorites now)
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🧡🧡🧡 See you tomorrow!
Adriene - my virtual yoga professor, your classes began with strengthening my mind. It's been 4 months of spending hours with you each week, and my body is now growing stronger along with it. Your grace is a blessing. Thank you times a million.
Hey, I just want to say that you looks beautiful in your profile picture! 😁
Today was the day I chose to hop back on the mat after months of no practice. I am SO glad I chose this video to come back. Adriene, you're definitely inspirational and everytime I'm asked "what kind of videos do you watch on YT for home practice" I always say "Yoga With Adriene is my one and only". After months without seeing any of your videos, I felt this morning as if I had returned to a long time no seen beloved teacher, and I loved it. I also felt that my running and fitness practice has allowed me to strengthen my core and this 30 min practice was just what I needed: fierce and focused, working with all the muscles I have tried to tone and strengthen these past months. It was such a blast, thank you immensely. See you soon(er than in 4 months or so). Keep up the amazing work. ♥
I'm so grateful for this👌🏾freedom flow for Expand Day 31:07:23✅😄🧘🏾♀️😌...this really helped to loosen those stiff neck & tight shoulders, loving the flow,just what's needed & a perfect end to my day. a liittle sad, expand practice ends today but delighted to start Intuit for August...huge thanks Adriene💖💞..and thx everyone that practiced along side me, it's been a great pleasure. Best Wishes. Namaste everyone.😊😌💖💖🙏🏾
This was so good today. I didn't sleep well and was feeling very groggy, even delayed starting. The only thing missing from today's practice was... BENJI! 🐶❤️
Thank you for your love - after cataract surgeries - I’m ready to join your practice everyday! Love you!
LOVED this. I usually cannot get through a full yoga video on UA-cam because the strength level is too high for me. This challenged me but kept me able to keep going and not get discouraged. Saving this one!
Yes! Amazing JC! Enjoy the unfolding!
I really loved this flow this morning. I found it really energising. Thankyou, Adriene xxx
Day 5 of ADMIRE. missed this yesterday so i am here doing it now. 🙏
Its boiling hot today in London and I wasn't sure I could keep up with this practice...there was a lot of sweat going on but made it! Feeling great now, thank you Adriene ❤️
40 days of yoga, 41 days of the year. I love yoga with Adriene. It make me feel relaxed, and invigorating, and make my days goes smoothly.
Thank you a million Adriene ❤️🧘🏽🙏🏼🇺🇾
May Day 5! This one did get me sweating a bit more than I expected. Now that I’ve done my yoga I feel like I can take on the rest of my day 😊
It's Day 5 of my Feb 2024 Admire Journey - so cool to see this mix of throwbacks and more recent videos! Turns out that Adriene has ALWAYS been a legend! (Not a surprise at all. 🥰)
Congratulations on the 12 millionth subscriber. Bloom May 2023😌💚💫
Beautiful location. Having to mix up the days of BLOOM depending on free time in the morning. Thank you Adriene for all you’re free videos x
🥰Love it! love it! love it! Thank you Adriene for your graciousness and generosity! Truly inspiring! Wishes of a glowing and blossoming weekend to all in this bighearted community! Go out and spread wonders!✨
Thank you Hong !
Needed this practice after a frustrating day, the heat helped burn off some of my anger and find some calm. Thank you Adriene! Namaste
Sometimes I feel bad that I can't get going even earlier to squeeze in morning yoga, but I really do like it at the end of the day to wind down and re-set to home. Glad it helped you unwind, and hope tomorrow is a better day!
So proud of your growth, I have been following you for years, and your consistency, humour and great teaching abilities has gotten you so far!! Yay Adrienne!
Day 27 of Energise June' 22✅😀☘️🧘🏾♀️🌸
This is absolutely fabulous, excellent for deep stretch & strengthening. I came on so late today😅, asleep all day but, I just have to show up for my daily YWA dose of practice. Ty Adriene😊💝🌹 for this great nature session. See you Yogi lovelies 2moro😌🫶🏾😊
Namaste🙏🏾♥️♥️
Phenomenal! I am saving this to my "yoga favs" watchlist. Namaste
Thank you for the reminder - to allow freedom of choice
To stay true to stay with self intention(s)
Namaste to all practising and enable self to Bloom May you find freedom within
Day 19 of PROCESS - YWA July 2021- gotta say, i LOVED this! it was sweaty but really fun. I now feel very energized and woken up.
Just perfect - I love how the practices meet me each day with where I am in myself. I have come a long way in my practice over the last 18 months with Adriene's guidance & even on days like today where I am so tired, getting on the mat and connecting with my breath and mindful movement is so nourishing - I am filled with gratitude. 🌳💚
shifted the schedule since I won't have time tomorrow. what a great workout!
Adriene, I gotta say your videos are amazing and I've been practicing with you every morning for the last 5 months. You're like my personal (and quite hilarious) yoga teacher. Namaste x
I got you girl!!! :D Thanks for sharing your practice with me Kim. xooxox Lets keep going.
In 2011 and 2012 I struggled with a hernia in my lower back. After surgery and a couple of years of boring exercising, I found your yoga-channel. For 5 or 6 years you’ve made my daily practice sessions so much more fun and interesting and exciting. But two weeks ago the hernia pain returned and I panicked. Didn’t practice more than a couple of times very lightly. Today was the first complete session and I was ever so careful. But it went okay, pretty happy now. Hope this is the way back up!
From a yoga instructor, thanks for spreading the love of Yoga through your work and your own love bringing these free practices, Adriene! You're on your mission and we're along with you. xoxo
Oh man, I needed that!
I'm always amazed at how much the comments motivate me to get on my mat ❤️
Soooo good. Did this in my backyard today under a blue sky, warm(ish) breeze, and seeing treetops rocking with the wind. Mind/body/spirit, meet Mother Earth. Loved this one so much.
