PNW I’m 72 years old, 125pounds overweight. But “my girls” (7-DIL’s 2-daughters, 3 granddaughters) all began a 30 day squat challenge and invited me to participate in a challenge I felt I could accomplish at the same time, and I found you 🥰I’m excited/ hopeful.

I stopped doing yoga 2 years ago. Today I decided to start again from 0. It is hard realizing I cannot longer do things that I once felt proud of accomplishing, but I'll try to be present and keep showing up! Thank you Adriene
Thank you so much for these amazing practices. We have been following you for about 2 years now and we love you and your yoga. Looking so forward to this 30 day experience with you. Thank you thank you thank you. So very appreciative of all you give to us. 🥰❤🙏
Doing yoga with everyone from around the world has become a favorite tradition of mine in the new year. I’m truly happy to be here with all of you. Much love and thanks to you Adriene for keeping this yearly tradition alive (with all your hard work and dedication), it’s such a gift. You’re a beautiful soul and I always feel blessed to be a part of this. See you all on the mat and Happy 2023 to everyone.💜🧘♀️

Hi Holly, nice to see you again this year! Hope you had a wonderful practice. :)
Good morning everyone. I’m so excited for this series. I’ve been doing yoga with Adrian for 3 years in March. My body craves daily yoga. It’s changed my life. I’m physically stronger,lost weight, less anxiety and stress, more at peace - and I love myself now. Thanks Adrian for showing up on the mat for us. “I can and I will”
0:35 My body now craves yoga too. I discovered Yoga with Adriene about 2-1/2 years ago and it has helped me through anxious moments and I can tell I am stronger. My chiropractor says I have the most flexible back he has ever experienced. I usually do my yoga before bed and sometimes in the morning as well. I’m excited for this series!
Good morning, Adrienne, Sajmt414 and everyone here. We are here. 💕🫂 Day 1. Thankful for showing up, especially after being sick. I feel so much better. ❤️ Here we go...its natural. Namaste.
32:16 "“This journey is about coming back. It’s about knowing and understanding who you are through daily practice.” This really hit home for me as it's been a little while since I've spent time on the mat in earnest. My shoulders were burning in that first down dog and while a little voice whispered "you shouldn't have fallen off in your practice" a much louder voice shouted "welcome home!" 2022 had a few rough patches and I'm so excited to be stepping into 2023 with Adrienne and this wonderful community. 30 days here we come! WE ARE STRONG 💪
Here in June 2024 because we truly need a strong center these days. Thank you Adriene and Benji for this infinite free content. You have no idea how many lives you are permanently changing because of this.
Well - that was challenging. All of my least favourite things - downward dog, plank.. I struggled. I was hot & sweaty, tired & hungry. But, I showed up...! And I did it. And I have to be proud of myself for that. As much as it is so hard to focus on the positive instead of the negatives - I'm here, & I did it. I had to stop & take breaks, but I DID it. To all of you out there who struggled with me - you're not alone. Congratulations to us. We did it! :) Thank you again Adriene for this amazing generous thing that you gift to the world each year. I am grateful. Much love to all of you. Xoxo
I agree! It was very tough and sweaty... But, I know how much easier the struggeling parts will feel in 30 days. I really look forward to that day... As long as we show up! 😊 I will... /Sweden
Well done for showing up and for taking breaks! Those are two can sometimes be way harder than the poses itself. Every time we decide to take a little break on the mat, we are listening to ourself and taking care of ourself. Isn't that a great accomplishment?
It has been almost 10 months since I left my mat. Today is my first day back and I am so thankful Adriene is consistent because I have not been. Congrats to all that have finished Day 1! See you tomorrow! Thank you Ariene. Please sing all the Boys II Men!! heart emoji
i can completely relate as I haven’t practiced for about the same amount of time. what a difference this day made! good luck on your journey & let’s make it to the end!
I wish you luck! I have a shunt that's been kicking my ass for a few year, resulting in a few brain surgeries myself, and the most valuable advice I can give is to take it slow. There are many things one might want to do, but sometimes it's best to wait. Good luck, and I hope your recovery goes well!
Love this so much ❤good luck :))) my goal in general is to do allllllllllll her videos on her channel. I recently adopted a practice that on Sundays I would do a bunch of her foundational videos so took the time on Sundays one to get throw any videos at a time and two to revisit my foundations 😅 🎉so lovely to have goals :)
I stopped doing yoga due to depression and a severe lack of motivation. I'm so glad to be back and taking the next steps to wellness. I hope whoever reads this remembers, you can do this and you make the world a brighter place.
I love refreshing the view count after the video is over. Started with 386k views, then 38,000 more lovely people joined the practice with me. I'm excited for Center. Thank you, Adrienne ❤️🫂
This is part of the YWA 30 Day journey experience for me: ever since I started doing them 3 years ago, I always make sure to check the viewer count before and after and to send love & gratitude to the 2000? 14,000? 38,000? people who joined me!
Did not realize how much pain the holiday season left me in; many hours in a car, a stiff childhood bed that's too small, and taking a lot of time off of exercising for family time (which usually means eating). This was such a struggle to get through, but I showed up. On the path to healing
Wow im feeling exactly the same, felt some shoulder pain the last few days but this practice really showed how stiff my whole upper body is 😵😵😵 can’t wait to continue softening and lengthening haha :-)
I am in exactly the same boat, and feel so supported to read this comment and know there are others who can relate. We're all in this together & you are so loved!
I finished this journey yesterday and today came back to start it again and... wow. The difference in my strength, control, flexibility, and just confidence is incredible. I remember the first time I did this practice I struggled a lot- there were lots of breaks and modifications but today I was able to move through it with so much more strength. It shows what a big difference just a month can make- I can't wait to go through this all again! Is anyone else revisiting this journey a second time?
Yes! Doing it again starting today and love the difference I already feel from the first time I did day 1 a month ago! See you on the mat again tomorrow ❤🎉
Me too, I’m on it a second time. I had a chest infection for much of January and felt compromised so here I am. It’s great to feel stronger having done a practise for the last month. What a wonderful woman Adriene is and what a gift this new 30 day practise is each year. 🙏
2023 here we are! I know this sounds corny but the last three years of doing your yoga regularly has been so truly healing for me, physically and mentally. It's not always easy to show up but I remind myself that even a little makes such a difference. Thank you Adriene for this gift, so excited for these 30 days!
Same! I actually missed Center last year so I'm happy to have a new 30 day journey to look forward to after Flow. Hope everyone's having a great day 1! 💖
Good morning! I have to admit Day 1 was a struggle for me, and harder than I expected. I have been out of practice and I am trying to stay focused on being proud of myself for showing up instead of listening to my inner critic saying if only you have stayed with your practice you would be so much stronger today. My wrists and balance were very off, it is so clear to me why I am here to focus on myself and my health. So grateful to be on this journey with you all!
Girlfriend you are beautiful, you are kind and you are smart.. hi I'm jen and we can shake together for awhile till our strength kicks in.. don't you doubt for one sec that you are anything less then a super star, see ya 2marrow
I start Center today not as a "New Year's resolution" but as a resolution for myself, a much needed one at that. To make up for the self-love I missed out on last year and to feel the greatness of practicing with everyone else in the world. I hope everyone else had a great practice, it certainly has set my day up right. Namaste everyone
Sitting here crying after this practice and reading all the cute comments. I really feel you on this one. Lets make this year the year we fall in love with ourselves. See you tomorrow!!!
"it's too early in the series to start singing Boyz 2 Men... is it though?" 😂 i love that Adrienne reminds us not to take yoga so seriously. ultimately it's a joyous practice. thank you, I'm excited for this journey.
Just arrived here for my February+ 2024 challenge after having just completed my first 30‐days-yoga-challenge (Flow, January 2024) and pinging for more. Hello fellow challenge-yogis & thank you Adriene for Center!
Happy new beginnings everyone! Yesterday Adriene asked us to think about our ‘why’. Why we want to join this 30-day journey? Why we want to do yoga? And as always, her questions stirred up a bundle of thoughts in my mind. I started doing yoga in 2019, and I’ve done my best to do it every single day ever since. Of course, there were days I’d skip a practice because I would feel ill or in pain, or I simply felt lazy, but I still went back to yoga after every break. I can confidently and proudly say I have been on the yoga journey with Adriene for exactly three years now. And I’ve never truly asked myself ‘why’. I thought it might have been because I wanted to lose weight, maintain muscles and strength, but when I gave it a deeper thought I realized that’s not it. If that were the only reason, I would’ve given up a long time ago because I’m still not happy with how I look so evidently yoga is not enough (it’s mostly the brain that needs rewiring). But, as I was rewatching the movie Eat, Pray, Love last night, a movie that sparked up my interest in meditation (moving meditation cause I cannot keep still) and thus started my yoga practice with Adriene back in 2019, I finally realized what my ‘why’ really was. Why I come back to the mat every day and why I am joining this 30-day journey once again. The answer is - I want to learn to live with myself, my true self. I want to change my perception of my self and grow and explore worlds that I have hidden deep inside my body and soul. Most of all, I want to embrace change and become comfortable with it. Change is the only constant and I want to stop fearing it. Like Adriene always says, our bodies are different every day. Well, so are our minds, our environments, our circumstances… and they are always gonna be changing no matter what. And the only way we can learn to embrace that change is by becoming truly comfortable in our own skin. That’s why I’m here Adriene. That’s why I am joining this journey and that’s why I am still doing yoga after three long years.
Well said demijoe! Thanks for sharing that! Eat, pray, love was also the catalyst for my spiritual journey. Tibetan Buddhism is my path and im happy to be adding yoga w Adriene to my repritore . I started with her a couple years ago but did not complete the commitment. Kinda my pattern😅. Hopefully this time “ I CAN” 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾
While I have done the 30 days of Yoga videos before this is my first time participating in January when they are uploaded and I can't wait to experience the community of practicing together at the same time. I wish all of you a beautiful month and beginning of 2023!
Wild to think there are people getting ready to experience this journey for the first time, in for such a treat they may not realize. And wild to reflect this is the first daily practice I ever committed to and was able to experience so many moons ago and what a tremendous blessing it has been all this time. Joy awaits! Much love!
@@mauraschreurs3641 from the beginning I felt Adriene encouraged me to tap into listening to my own experience of things and respond to what I needed. This has been such a healing thing for me and because it was so gentle and actually felt good despite of course having a challenging aspect, it aligned at the right time in my life to be exactly what I needed and I was able to stick with it. It has been an ever flowing practice since then, sometimes daily sometimes not, but my ability to listen to what I needed and come to the mat to find solace, comfort, connection to God and healing has been consistent. Adriene is so compassionate, gentle and inspiring, she helped me in cultivating that in my own life and practice. I stand more in alignment, move more joyously, breath with more awareness and sit in stillness with more ease. But probably most important to me is my relationship with myself and probably even others is better and continues to heal. Many blessings to you on your journey! ❤️✨️❤️
My equipment for this session was a box of tissues because just sitting down on the mat and hearing Adriene's voice saying that the hardest part is done was enough to make me start crying. My mind has been too busy to even want to do yoga for a long time and I owe my body a lot of showing up. Better late than never, I'm here now.
Hello from Greece, I'm Eleni! We are all so grateful for this 🫶🏻 This 30 day yoga journey is going to be amazing! Keep showing up everyone, we got this! ❤️
Day 1 ✅ After two years of not doing the 30 day yoga challenge due to some medical things, I'm so glad to be back with all of you. Good luck everyone! And thank you for doing this, as always, Adriene.
On a normal day I follow your yoga videos to find centering and calm. Unfortunately I lost my sister to cancer on New Year’s Eve and being centered has not been easy. Yoga has become a major part of my life and I’m forever grateful that you share your knowledge and time with the world. Namaste
Hello to all who started in February. I was ill in January and was so frustrated that I could not do the journey as the videos were released . But I feel a lot better so despite still having some pains in my back and side and a little shortness of breath I made it! I promised myself I would just try and do as much as I can. I am delighted to have completed the whole thing. Slow and gentle although not so easy after a months break. It’s great to be back!
That is so inspiring! This is the 3rd time I've started, and this time I really need the support! I'm heading back to work tomorrow after 5 months of to deal with cancer treatment. I'm so excited and nervous but it helps to feel I can, like we all can!
Yay!!!! I did it! I did it! I did it! After 3 years of relative inactivity as I dealt with loss after loss, I’m back on the mat. Day 1 in tha bag! A bit of a challenge to be honest, but I’m happy to have done it. Onward! Thank you Adriene!!!!!
I did this challenge last year when I was in the most active stage of my life. I was gaining muscle, climbing every week, eating well, finally taking care of my body after years of struggling with mental health and eating disorders in high school. Then in early May, I got COVID and it sapped the energy out of me for months. That plus helping my family move cross country and spending a semester in Europe means my body has changed a bit, but that’s ok. The theme of Center means a lot to me, it means I can finally settle after a very chaotic year and retune with my body and movement. Thank you again Adriene and I look foreword to this month!
I have NEVER had a more satisfying back crack than what happened to me at 29:00. I started laughing with actual JOY at the release. Thank you so much for the gift!
Always astounding to refresh the video after the practice and see the viewcount increase--I just shared my practice with 17,000 other yogis. Very humbling feeling. Best wishes to all of us in 2023, and see you all tomorrow!💜
I'm not going to lie, this was physically tough for me, even at tabletop my arms were starting to shake!! But as an on-and-off again yogi who has been following Adriene's videos for 9 years I'm ready to start my regular practice again after a hiatus. I'm ready for the challenge! Thank you Adriene for always bringing me back to the mat ❤
I'm with you! It's been a long break for me, and I've definitely lost some of my strength/skills but if I got them once I can get them back now :) our bodies will thank us!
I had a really hard time too! I used to do yoga a couple times a week or at least once a week at the YMCA but then I had a couple of injuries and moved and now it's been a few years since I practiced and I'm a beginner again, but I'm totally ready to get back into it!
I couldn't even lock my hands behind my back! I just put them as close as I could and pushed as hard as I could without overdoing it so that hopefully I will be able to do that again! Everyone is different though - some parts I could do the addons fairly easily but some bits I needed extra breaks
Over 2 weeks late, but I showed up, and that's what matters. I used to love doing yoga and many other forms of exercise but stopped when I got really sick. That was almost 5 years ago at this point. Now I'm nearly 300 lbs and have a bad knee. Doing day one had me crying within the 1st 10 minutes, and I couldn't tell if it was from pain/relief of stretching stiff muscles or emotional release from all the stress and anger I've been carrying. All I know is that I'm glad this is it, and I'll see my future companions who chose to show up tomorrow. I'm proud of you!
I’m in a rough place right now, and when you said “move like you love yourself” … I took that away from the mat and it’s helped me a lot. I needed that.
I resonated so much with your comment and her saying that made me stop in my tracks a little. It feels like i've been living but I haven't really 'felt' myself or my movements in so long. It's been 6 months since you commented and I hope you are in a better place now!
Thank you Adriene for keeping the 30 days yoga challenge alive and thank you everyone for being here together! Sending love and peace! 🙏🏻💚

Hello adrien and everyone! Thank you so so so much for todays practice. I’m a yoga teacher in Istanbul. I was having health issues lately. So, I’ve been skipping my yoga practice. Today I’m on my period. My body was stiff. I showed up anyways. Your commitment motivated me! It was like a reunion with my body, I realized I missed it. I missed myself, I missed to be in touch with my body. I felt it and I felt how it’s in pain in some areas, how it’s doing everything it can for me and I appreciate. I wanted to say thank you so so so much 🙏🏼💐 It’s 9 am in istanbul. I have energy to go through this day!
Here to be held accountable. I’ve been missing yoga for the almost 2 years I was dealing with two cancer diagnosis’s. I almost finished your 30 day challenge in 2022, but treatment prevented a lot of things. I am SO happy to be here, in remission, getting my strength back a little each day. Thank you for being here and doing this for everyone! So grateful 🎉
I did it last January and I’m back again! I’m two days behind but I’m excited to get started today! Last year the 30 day practice taught me a lot about my own strength and about discipline, I’m sad to say my fitness went downhill the rest of the year, but I’m hoping this kickstarts a better routine for 2023!
Trust me, you are not alone. I am in the same boat. I cried today doing first day which I couldn’t do it properly. My body was so still like an iron rod. I used to be so active. Let’s nail 2023!
@@prabus5856 I feel you:) starting a day late. And finding that every part of my body is resistant. Very tight. Very painful. But knowing this is the best thing I can do for it right now helps.
Started tearing up at the affirmation, “I can and I will.” I struggle to love myself daily, but I look forward to getting better at self-love with this challenge. As always, grateful for you, Adriene, and your generosity to share this gift. We can do this, friends. We can and we will.
The best thing is seeing the amount of views go up after I select the video again, and I realize about 6000 people were practicing at the same time. Imagine that! What an awesome group!
I'm so happy to be back! These 30 day yoga journeys at the start of the new year are honestly one of the greatest gifts ever. Sending love to all of you as we embark on this journey together!✨
I have not done yoga in quite a while, life gets busy and you feel tired and overwhelmed.... when that happens to me I forget that yoga gives me energy and helps me feel SO alive and ready for the day. Thank you Adriene for making this series, I am looking forward to getting back on track with regular practice even after these 30 days are up. Internet world, we got this. We can. You are all beautiful.
It's been awhile since I did yoga and my arms, legs were very shaky but I got through it and I feel better. I have never done a 30 day yoga challenge so I'm looking forward to future classes. I can, I will 💖
Same here! I was soo excited for last year's/2022 January journey, but me and my 2 daughters got COVID on my youngest's first birthday! 2 weeks into the challenge... I was so bummed and upset bc I had NO energy to do yoga for months after that. I've struggled to do yoga ever since. I can and I will do it this month! We all CAN ☺️🥰 There is something that motivates me knowing there's thousands of people doing it the same day as me.... I have bad FOMO and I don't like doing/being alone for 95% of the time for things. That's probably why I get discouraged or unmotivated if I miss a day, and also once the month challenge is over! Really trying to have a good mindset that I can do better this year.
@@autumnsworld6103 you CAN do better this year, we all can! I think there are a ton of people who will use this 30 day challenge to spark the fire of coming back to the mat on a regular basis. Myself included. Life is good at throwing curveballs our way to take us off the path but as long as we try to take care of ourselves, the path will straighten out again. Missing a day or two or three of yoga will happen but we can always wake up and start fresh and get back on it!
I was reflecting on how this is another year where I haven't kept up the practice, and it feels physically like I'm back at square one. But one nice thing I've noticed I've retained is the habit of being kinder to myself. I may be no more comfortable in downward dog than on January 1, 2020, but I'm far more at peace with my current ability than I was two or three years ago. I'm thankful to Adriene for helping me learn a healthier mentality, as opposed to the "grind through the pain, your best isn't good enough" approach to fitness I learned growing up. Excited to get back on the mat and see where the 2023 yoga journey takes me :)
I'm in the same boat Banjo, haven't practised for 2 years due to 'life', really felt it, but knowing I can go back to where I was feels so much better. Here's to 30 days:)
I love the honesty about where you are and about your journey to be more gentle with self. I was doing yoga daily for years and years and then 2020 came and I slowly got out of practice. I would pick it up then drop it and realized that beating myself up for dropping it was counterintuitive and forgave myself. Thanks for this reflection here. Love and light your way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. There are truly no other words to describe how grateful and happy I am that we get to start the year practicing together once again. That's precisely what I need right now🤍 Namaste everyone, wishing y'all a new year filled with light, joy, and love.
I happened upon this right as it premiered. I enjoyed every bit of it, even the parts that are a bit of a struggle for lack of practice. I am so thankful I got to practice with you all! 🥰
Warning post may be tramatic ⚠️ I went to start this in the beginning of January, found out I was 6 weeks pregnant, super excited because I’m 32 and it would have been my 1st baby. I ended up devastated having a miscarriage days after I found out. I’ve distanced myself from my emotions and life the last two weeks. I haven’t told anyone what my husband and I experienced, and I don’t know why I’m writing it in a comment on UA-cam.. I guess I just want to say I started this over to get grounded mentally and physically. I finished day 1 today and I am proud of myself.
So sorry for your loss😥. I can not imagine the pain. Glad you are doing what helps your soul. Find someone to talk to. Bottled mourning tends to fester. Prayers for your peace and a healthy family.
Sarah, I'm so sorry for your lost. I joined this journey today after my miscarrige that was happend on 22 weeks. We also were very happy expacting our baby boy but it did not happend. Now my body is very weak and its hard even to go through first practice but I believe that I could finish the journey and became stronger physically and mentally!
Is anyone here May 1st and excited to complete the journey this month? I started a while back but didn't complete it so am ready for the fresh start that May 1 and Day 1 brings! I'd love to hear anyone else's experiences each day along the way. The arms were shakey within seconds of downward dog today, I am looking forward to finding strength and peace again as we go this month with our fearless leader Adriene. Can't wait for tomorrow!
I found this weirdly emotional. I haven't been taking care of myself, and when you said move like you love yourself, it really shocked me to find myself saying, oh no I can't do that. But then you explained that it was more like, to move with the intention to love yourself and that really hit me. Thank you for making your videos and I'm excited to get on this journey.
Anyone else shed a little tear after any Adriene session ? - or is just me being an emotional wreck, who participates in self loathing too much, and Adrienes positive talk, no expectations and just general care get to me
It's my 3rd time this year attempting this 30 day challange. Bc of health complications I had to stop the practice 2 times already. Now I'm feeling better and ready to take it on. I hope my health lets me continue. I'm with all of you mentally who are also trying to do this a couple of months late. We got this :)
Hello from Scotland. Just sang in a New Years concert of Handels Messiah, and one of my fellow singers was going home to do day one of the journey. I just got home and did my day one...yeahhhh... thank you Adriene for being there for us all...here's to day two 🙏🥰
I was there to hear it (and bravo, btw!)! It’s my favourite way to start the new year every time - Handel and Adriene on 2Jan. So special to be doing both together for the first time since 2020, too.
I quit my daily yoga practice almost 2 years ago because depression had such a strong grasp on me. I gained a lot of weight, lost some friends, and even considered whether the world would be a better place without me in it. With lots of support from an amazing therapist and my wonderdul husband, I pulled through. I'm still struggling to love myself, but I've made huge progress. This video is my first practice since I hit rock bottom and quit. When Adriene said "this is about coming back," I sobbed. Thank you, Adriene, for inspiring some cleansing tears for me today. Can't wait for the rest of this series. I'm ready to be back. ❤🧘♀️
As a certified yoga teacher who really lost her flow, and is extremely picky about taking classes with other instructors (Not cool, I know, I’m working on it) YWA is honestly a God Send. I competed the 30 days Move challenge yesterday, and am now here for the Center journey. I am so insanely grateful for YWA. We are all so lucky to have such a wonderful resource, and light to this community!
I am doing this challenge this month. I did it last year, and I loved it. After finishing today's practice, I could relate to why I loved it the first time: Adrienne is a great teacher. Thank you for your patience 🙏 🧘♀️ ❤
Sending you love and good vibes. There's only a like button when there should be we care. I lost my Son 4 years ago in April. Talk about your Father and talk to him. It will heip. Namaste
This is my 4th 30 day challenge in 5 years. I broke my elbow in December of 2020 so 2021 was a no go for me. I never fully left this community, but after my arm healed it was tough to get back to the mat daily. Once or twice a week was all I did. Today was breathtaking - a short burst of song and a "hey-o" from Adriene and I'm back to finding what feels good 💕
Good morning! I'm so excited to be here and take this series on once again. In March last year, I was hospitalized and through a medical nightmare was totally unable to exercise or move for months. I lost a lot of range of motion, strength, and flexibility. Finally feeling like I'm on the other side of itt all now, and. ready to start giving back to my body again!
I started my yoga journey last January 2022 and I was HOOKED. I just completed 365 days of yoga and it's all thanks to the gentle, welcoming, and powerful practices Adriene shares with us! My heart is at peace, my body has healed, and my life is changed. Thank you, Adriene! I've been looking forward to this new 30 days all year!
I commit to this 30 Day Yoga Journey because I want to show my body love. I’m 4 months postpartum, with a beautiful baby boy who requires lots of rocking and nursing which has been hard on my back and shoulders. I’m heading back to work tomorrow, and feeling so many feelings about that. And I’ve finally decided to stop trying to lose weight. I’ve been restricting (or trying to restrict) what I eat since I was ten years old, always dreaming of someday being “thin enough”. Now I’m working to love my body unconditionally, no matter my weight, and yoga has always helped me feel good in my skin. Thank you Adrienne! Glad to be back on the mat 🙏🏼
I had a 5 month old this time last year, so I hear you. I also totally understand the body struggles since ten years old. :( When I discovered YWA at 39 it was the first time I looked forward to exercise and did it for reasons other than trying to be smaller. She helps us feel so much better, doesn't she? Keep loving yourself unconditionally! Thinking of you and your beautiful boy...

🌞 DAY 1 in the books 🌞 Just finished up feeling beyond grateful this journey exists yet for another year. Thank you Adriene, Benji and everyone around the world practicing with me. It already encouraged me to get up early (6.45 in Berlin) and set a healthy and fresh foundation for the day ahead by helping me to get rid of my headache! :) Can’t wait for tomorrow!
Starting here on March 14th 2024! Love these January sets as they are so cumulative and the sequence is perfectly balanced. I just finished MOVE and FLOW before that. Thank you Adriene and the FWFG team for making a daily yoga practice so accessible and enjoyable xxx
And we are off!!! It's so exciting,I love these 30 day experiences so much! Can't wait to spend the next few weeks with you Adriene ☺️ It will be my three year anniversary in April since I first found YWA and can't imagine life without it now! Loved today's practice 💕 "I can and I will" Namaste everyone 🙏
Hello all! This is the first time I've made it to the live practice. I started yoga two years ago. Thanks to Adriene for her generosity in sharing this with everyone in the world and for her commitment to our good health!
Good Morning from Wales UK ❤ Day 1 ✅ so grateful to be starting a new 30 day calendar with you all… We Can do this… Just got to show up everyday… 🎉 excited to see what day 2 has for us tomorrow… Much Love & Gratitude to Adrienne & YWA team… And much Love & Gratitude to All you Beautiful Yogis showing up on the mat with me… 🥰 xxx
Good Morning Wales from Devon UK. Good luck to you too. Much love and Gratitude for sharing and caring. I am excited too. Today was hard in parts but I think I did it! Well we're on the journey now. Thank you for being there too! Namaste
20 mins . That's all . Reminding myself to just breath if I can't do a movement. Love and blessings to all. Excited to be here waiting. Maybe starts at 6am xx
i’ve just restarted yoga again i used to love it when i was 13 but then i stopped and now i’m 16 and happier than ever to start yoga once again! so thank you so much for this!💞
Day 1 complete! Last year I burnt out. 3 months into the new year and recovery has been slow. My stamina is waaaay down, so this 30 minute flow felt brutal, but Adriene's affirmation of "I'm strong" came through just when I needed it. Commenting here to keep myself accountable! See you tomorrow!
I did the “move” 30 day challenge in the last year, not live. It took me many months to complete as I didn’t do it every day. This time I’m committed to following the 30 consecutive day plan. Loved it, such a great thing to do. Thanks.
Hi, I started this 30-day challenge today, I'm short of breath due to anxiety, and today I tried to try yoga with you to calm down, and the result was wonderful. Thank you, and I wish you all the positive energy and health.
I realize that this is the moment when I feel recharged. I'm 16 days behind but I'm motivated to come back here tomorrow. This is a note to myself: I'm strong, I can and I will. Thank you for all the feelings!
After retiring 6 months ago I have kept myself so busy. I realise I have been a human doing, instead of a human being. I have resolved to increase my yoga practice from a weekly class to a daily session. I am so happy I've found these classes, and am looking forward to working with you for 30 days, Adriene ❤
Thank you, all people in Yoga With Adriene's team! This year's soundtrack is so kind and soothing. The room is welcoming. You are the best at making it work by filming facing the window. Light and love to everybody!
So excited for this!! Love the challenges, but yet to start them with everyone else when their premier!!! Namaste everyone. It is an honor to share a classroom with you all!! To those that are new to Adrienne, You are in for such a treat! Perfect way to start and continue the New Year!
PNW I’m 72 years old, 125pounds overweight. But “my girls” (7-DIL’s 2-daughters, 3 granddaughters) all began a 30 day squat challenge and invited me to participate in a challenge I felt I could accomplish at the same time, and I found you 🥰I’m excited/ hopeful.
That’s so cool!
Wow that’s amazing ! You will do great 😊
Brilliant I’m sure you’ll achieve 30 days.
I hope you enjoy it! 🤍
That's ammmazing! Glad to have you here:🌿
I appreciate what you said at the start.
Very thankful timebucks

year 2 of day 1 nervousness and once again i feel so empowered to continue the thirty days🎉
Feeling excited for another 30 day journey. I can.
Huge thanks to the entire team that makes this annual tradition possible.
Thank you for the heads up regarding Adrienne official. That’s too bad.💞
I stopped doing yoga 2 years ago. Today I decided to start again from 0. It is hard realizing I cannot longer do things that I once felt proud of accomplishing, but I'll try to be present and keep showing up! Thank you Adriene
Thank you so much for these amazing practices. We have been following you for about 2 years now and we love you and your yoga. Looking so forward to this 30 day experience with you. Thank you thank you thank you. So very appreciative of all you give to us. 🥰❤🙏
Here for my February 2024 30 Day Challenge! 😊
Me too. ❤ Wish you the best.
@@adrianavirgen9599Good Luck! x
Same!
Same! Enjoy!
Me too (and a bit of March) ♥️ good luck everyone ✨
Doing yoga with everyone from around the world has become a favorite tradition of mine in the new year. I’m truly happy to be here with all of you.
Much love and thanks to you Adriene for keeping this yearly tradition alive (with all your hard work and dedication), it’s such a gift. You’re a beautiful soul and I always feel blessed to be a part of this.
See you all on the mat and Happy 2023 to everyone.💜🧘♀️
Hi Holly, nice to see you again this year! Hope you had a wonderful practice. :)
Hey Holly, nice to see you here again. I also love this tradition. Have a wonderful journey! 🙏✨️
Nice to be part of this tradition.
Happy 2023 to you!
@ Hi Cara! Great to see you too!😊
Good morning everyone. I’m so excited for this series. I’ve been doing yoga with Adrian for 3 years in March. My body craves daily yoga. It’s changed my life. I’m physically stronger,lost weight, less anxiety and stress, more at peace - and I love myself now. Thanks Adrian for showing up on the mat for us. “I can and I will”
This is exactly what I’m hoping for myself 🥰💖💖
Yoga with ADRIENE rocks!
0:35 My body now craves yoga too. I discovered Yoga with Adriene about 2-1/2 years ago and it has helped me through anxious moments and I can tell I am stronger. My chiropractor says I have the most flexible back he has ever experienced. I usually do my yoga before bed and sometimes in the morning as well. I’m excited for this series!
Good morning, Adrienne, Sajmt414 and everyone here. We are here. 💕🫂 Day 1. Thankful for showing up, especially after being sick. I feel so much better. ❤️ Here we go...its natural. Namaste.
This is great! The best part is seeing that you have gained self-love from practice ❤
32:16 "“This journey is about coming back. It’s about knowing and understanding who you are through daily practice.” This really hit home for me as it's been a little while since I've spent time on the mat in earnest. My shoulders were burning in that first down dog and while a little voice whispered "you shouldn't have fallen off in your practice" a much louder voice shouted "welcome home!" 2022 had a few rough patches and I'm so excited to be stepping into 2023 with Adrienne and this wonderful community. 30 days here we come! WE ARE STRONG 💪
Welcome home!
Welcome home 🏡 💓
Welcome home!!
Same - those words hit too
Same! I feel so good and so proud of myself today
Here in June 2024 because we truly need a strong center these days. Thank you Adriene and Benji for this infinite free content. You have no idea how many lives you are permanently changing because of this.
Well - that was challenging. All of my least favourite things - downward dog, plank.. I struggled. I was hot & sweaty, tired & hungry. But, I showed up...! And I did it. And I have to be proud of myself for that. As much as it is so hard to focus on the positive instead of the negatives - I'm here, & I did it. I had to stop & take breaks, but I DID it. To all of you out there who struggled with me - you're not alone. Congratulations to us. We did it! :)
Thank you again Adriene for this amazing generous thing that you gift to the world each year. I am grateful. Much love to all of you. Xoxo
:) 🤍
I struggled too, thank you for your kind words , enjoy the process and the journey ❤
The hunger is real 😂 breakfast time! Way to go
I agree! It was very tough and sweaty... But, I know how much easier the struggeling parts will feel in 30 days. I really look forward to that day... As long as we show up! 😊 I will... /Sweden
Well done for showing up and for taking breaks! Those are two can sometimes be way harder than the poses itself. Every time we decide to take a little break on the mat, we are listening to ourself and taking care of ourself. Isn't that a great accomplishment?
It has been almost 10 months since I left my mat. Today is my first day back and I am so thankful Adriene is consistent because I have not been. Congrats to all that have finished Day 1! See you tomorrow! Thank you Ariene. Please sing all the Boys II Men!! heart emoji
I second that, more Boys II Men please!
When Adriene said “make a wish”, did anyone else yell “AND BLOW OUT THE CANDLES” at their TV/computer/device of choice?
…no?! Just me? 😂
i can completely relate as I haven’t practiced for about the same amount of time. what a difference this day made! good luck on your journey & let’s make it to the end!
Awesome 🤩 showing up is by far the hardest part, I’m 6 months post brain surgery & need to get my life back……hopefully this is the beginning 🙏🏻
This is the beginning ❤
You are an inspiration. Best of luck on this beautiful journey ❤
I wish you luck! I have a shunt that's been kicking my ass for a few year, resulting in a few brain surgeries myself, and the most valuable advice I can give is to take it slow. There are many things one might want to do, but sometimes it's best to wait.
Good luck, and I hope your recovery goes well!
Vicky, you rock! You and I can get our lives back one day at a time! Know that you you have a cheering section. Go Vicky 🎉
Blessings on your healing journey, sweet Vicky!! :) XO
Good morning! My goal for 2024 is to complete all the Yoga with Adriene 30 day practices. I love how her practices build on skills through the month.
Love this so much ❤good luck :))) my goal in general is to do allllllllllll her videos on her channel. I recently adopted a practice that on Sundays I would do a bunch of her foundational videos so took the time on Sundays one to get throw any videos at a time and two to revisit my foundations 😅 🎉so lovely to have goals :)
I stopped doing yoga due to depression and a severe lack of motivation. I'm so glad to be back and taking the next steps to wellness. I hope whoever reads this remembers, you can do this and you make the world a brighter place.
Congratulations on returning! Here's to your continued wellness! 💖
What a beautiful first practice!! I can and I will, You can and you will, We can and we will✨🤍😇
We can and we will 🤍✨
I second this comment. It was definitely a beautiful first practice!
interested i want to maker passionate love to you soon love always johnny love
Amen 🙏🏼
💛💛💛
I love refreshing the view count after the video is over. Started with 386k views, then 38,000 more lovely people joined the practice with me. I'm excited for Center. Thank you, Adrienne ❤️🫂
What a good idea, to see just how many people are practicing with you!
This is part of the YWA 30 Day journey experience for me: ever since I started doing them 3 years ago, I always make sure to check the viewer count before and after and to send love & gratitude to the 2000? 14,000? 38,000? people who joined me!
@@ourladyfourcakes I'm totally going to start doing this, too!! Thanks for the great idea :)
That's a really cool idea, thank you! I'll try it tomorrow morning!
I came down here planning to say the same thing. Hello to the 23,000 people who just did the same session with me at the same time. :)
Hi Adriene came back after FLOW ,starting this month with this series hope I will complete this series too ,lots of love to you Adriene ❤❤❤❤
this is my plan as well! good luck!
Same here! Good luck 😊
Me too! 😊
Me too - day one :-)
Yes you will and yes you can!
Practicing with Adriene after a long absence is like coming home. She is welcoming, calming and makes you feel included immediately. 🤗
Absolutely!
So glad that I get to do this 30 day journey with all you lovely hearts from around the globe! Happy 2023 everyone! 😍
Happy 2023 Marybeth!
the earth is flat
happy 2023!❤
Did not realize how much pain the holiday season left me in; many hours in a car, a stiff childhood bed that's too small, and taking a lot of time off of exercising for family time (which usually means eating). This was such a struggle to get through, but I showed up. On the path to healing
I felt this. Lol, right there with ya
Wow im feeling exactly the same, felt some shoulder pain the last few days but this practice really showed how stiff my whole upper body is 😵😵😵 can’t wait to continue softening and lengthening haha :-)
I am in exactly the same boat, and feel so supported to read this comment and know there are others who can relate. We're all in this together & you are so loved!
Can 100% relate! Keep showing up 😊❤
Awesome job!
I finished this journey yesterday and today came back to start it again and... wow. The difference in my strength, control, flexibility, and just confidence is incredible. I remember the first time I did this practice I struggled a lot- there were lots of breaks and modifications but today I was able to move through it with so much more strength. It shows what a big difference just a month can make- I can't wait to go through this all again! Is anyone else revisiting this journey a second time?
Yes! Doing it again starting today and love the difference I already feel from the first time I did day 1 a month ago! See you on the mat again tomorrow ❤🎉
@@estherdiemer4782 Woohoo! Here's to getting stronger!
I'm here again as well! Felt stronger and more stable today than a month ago for sure! :)
Yes! Tomorrow! 😊
Me too, I’m on it a second time. I had a chest infection for much of January and felt compromised so here I am.
It’s great to feel stronger having done a practise for the last month.
What a wonderful woman Adriene is and what a gift this new 30 day practise is each year. 🙏
2023 here we are! I know this sounds corny but the last three years of doing your yoga regularly has been so truly healing for me, physically and mentally. It's not always easy to show up but I remind myself that even a little makes such a difference. Thank you Adriene for this gift, so excited for these 30 days!
Congrats on your dedication!
"Even a little makes such a difference." I added you words to my little set of motivational quotes. Thank you!
happy day 1 to all my fellow late-starters! so happy to be on this journey with you all
Yayyyyy thank you!!! Starting 25 days late but so happy to be here! 💗
@@aoiseodwyer Same here:) 🤍
@@aoiseodwyer same 😭💗💗
Yes, just starting today! It doesn't matter when we start. Time is an illusion. What matters is showing up, as she said.
Came back here after Flow, I think I might be hooked 😅❤
Same!🫶🏼
Right here with you🙏
I‘m also here with you❤ That feels nice:) Have a great rest of the day✨
Same! So excited!
Same! I actually missed Center last year so I'm happy to have a new 30 day journey to look forward to after Flow. Hope everyone's having a great day 1! 💖
Feels good to be here again, it's day 31 for me! I got to 180 days last year and I'm hoping to go even further this year ❤
I'm here to continue on from Flow, and I saw a comment that I left here last year! A nice little wave hello from the past :)
Good morning! I have to admit Day 1 was a struggle for me, and harder than I expected. I have been out of practice and I am trying to stay focused on being proud of myself for showing up instead of listening to my inner critic saying if only you have stayed with your practice you would be so much stronger today. My wrists and balance were very off, it is so clear to me why I am here to focus on myself and my health. So grateful to be on this journey with you all!
Girlfriend you are beautiful, you are kind and you are smart.. hi I'm jen and we can shake together for awhile till our strength kicks in.. don't you doubt for one sec that you are anything less then a super star, see ya 2marrow
Same here. I'm going to try Day 1 again at the end of the 30 days and, hopefully, I'll notice that it's a lot easier for me than it was today.
@@donna9005 Great idea!
Yes, hard on my wrists.
So hard on my wrists, in ways that were not a problem when I was younger!
I start Center today not as a "New Year's resolution" but as a resolution for myself, a much needed one at that. To make up for the self-love I missed out on last year and to feel the greatness of practicing with everyone else in the world. I hope everyone else had a great practice, it certainly has set my day up right. Namaste everyone
Sitting here crying after this practice and reading all the cute comments. I really feel you on this one. Lets make this year the year we fall in love with ourselves. See you tomorrow!!!
Starting this after the 30 day challenge in January 2024. Hi I'm Xavienne. Thank you Adrienne
"it's too early in the series to start singing Boyz 2 Men... is it though?" 😂 i love that Adrienne reminds us not to take yoga so seriously. ultimately it's a joyous practice. thank you, I'm excited for this journey.
Just arrived here for my February+ 2024 challenge after having just completed my first 30‐days-yoga-challenge (Flow, January 2024) and pinging for more. Hello fellow challenge-yogis & thank you Adriene for Center!
I revisit the Center series often!
Day 1 - I DID IT! Thank you, self for showing up. I can and I will because I am strong.
Happy new beginnings everyone!
Yesterday Adriene asked us to think about our ‘why’. Why we want to join this 30-day journey? Why we want to do yoga? And as always, her questions stirred up a bundle of thoughts in my mind.
I started doing yoga in 2019, and I’ve done my best to do it every single day ever since. Of course, there were days I’d skip a practice because I would feel ill or in pain, or I simply felt lazy, but I still went back to yoga after every break.
I can confidently and proudly say I have been on the yoga journey with Adriene for exactly three years now. And I’ve never truly asked myself ‘why’.
I thought it might have been because I wanted to lose weight, maintain muscles and strength, but when I gave it a deeper thought I realized that’s not it. If that were the only reason, I would’ve given up a long time ago because I’m still not happy with how I look so evidently yoga is not enough (it’s mostly the brain that needs rewiring).
But, as I was rewatching the movie Eat, Pray, Love last night, a movie that sparked up my interest in meditation (moving meditation cause I cannot keep still) and thus started my yoga practice with Adriene back in 2019, I finally realized what my ‘why’ really was. Why I come back to the mat every day and why I am joining this 30-day journey once again.
The answer is - I want to learn to live with myself, my true self. I want to change my perception of my self and grow and explore worlds that I have hidden deep inside my body and soul.
Most of all, I want to embrace change and become comfortable with it. Change is the only constant and I want to stop fearing it.
Like Adriene always says, our bodies are different every day. Well, so are our minds, our environments, our circumstances… and they are always gonna be changing no matter what. And the only way we can learn to embrace that change is by becoming truly comfortable in our own skin.
That’s why I’m here Adriene. That’s why I am joining this journey and that’s why I am still doing yoga after three long years.
Well said demijoe! Thanks for sharing that! Eat, pray, love was also the catalyst for my spiritual journey. Tibetan Buddhism is my path and im happy to be adding yoga w Adriene to my repritore . I started with her a couple years ago but did not complete the commitment. Kinda my pattern😅. Hopefully this time “ I CAN” 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾
Lovely words @demijoe4ever ✨ Thank you. It helps me clarify my own why. 💖
Thank you so much for sharing this. 💓 It got me moved
Thanks for sharing this.
While I have done the 30 days of Yoga videos before this is my first time participating in January when they are uploaded and I can't wait to experience the community of practicing together at the same time. I wish all of you a beautiful month and beginning of 2023!
thsi is my second time starting in Jan--and it makes such a difference to feel part of this loving an nurturing community!
Wild to think there are people getting ready to experience this journey for the first time, in for such a treat they may not realize. And wild to reflect this is the first daily practice I ever committed to and was able to experience so many moons ago and what a tremendous blessing it has been all this time. Joy awaits! Much love!
Ahhw this sounds amazing! Today was my first.. I am ready for that joy😎 Now I am curious about your journey!
First-timer here. It was hard and painful, but I feel accomplished and calm. Looking forward to tomorrow
Joy awaits--yes!!
Thank you for sharing this. And thank you for being here. xx Much love back to you!
@@mauraschreurs3641 from the beginning I felt Adriene encouraged me to tap into listening to my own experience of things and respond to what I needed. This has been such a healing thing for me and because it was so gentle and actually felt good despite of course having a challenging aspect, it aligned at the right time in my life to be exactly what I needed and I was able to stick with it. It has been an ever flowing practice since then, sometimes daily sometimes not, but my ability to listen to what I needed and come to the mat to find solace, comfort, connection to God and healing has been consistent. Adriene is so compassionate, gentle and inspiring, she helped me in cultivating that in my own life and practice. I stand more in alignment, move more joyously, breath with more awareness and sit in stillness with more ease. But probably most important to me is my relationship with myself and probably even others is better and continues to heal. Many blessings to you on your journey! ❤️✨️❤️
My equipment for this session was a box of tissues because just sitting down on the mat and hearing Adriene's voice saying that the hardest part is done was enough to make me start crying. My mind has been too busy to even want to do yoga for a long time and I owe my body a lot of showing up. Better late than never, I'm here now.
Hello from Greece, I'm Eleni! We are all so grateful for this 🫶🏻 This 30 day yoga journey is going to be amazing! Keep showing up everyone, we got this! ❤️
Ναιιι! 🤞🏻❤
Day 1 ✅ After two years of not doing the 30 day yoga challenge due to some medical things, I'm so glad to be back with all of you. Good luck everyone! And thank you for doing this, as always, Adriene.
Same!
Same here!
Welcome back! 🎉❤
On a normal day I follow your yoga videos to find centering and calm. Unfortunately I lost my sister to cancer on New Year’s Eve and being centered has not been easy. Yoga has become a major part of my life and I’m forever grateful that you share your knowledge and time with the world. Namaste
My condolences to you and your family. Wishing you all the best as you journey through this moment.
so sorry for your loss, wishing you a healing journey
Oh darling, I'm sending you lots of love and a big hug 🌹❤️ stay strong
So very sorry for your loss. Hoping you find some solace in your journey with us
I'm so sorry for your loss... I'm sending you love and healing energy
Hello to all who started in February. I was ill in January and was so frustrated that I could not do the journey as the videos were released . But I feel a lot better so despite still having some pains in my back and side and a little shortness of breath I made it! I promised myself I would just try and do as much as I can. I am delighted to have completed the whole thing. Slow and gentle although not so easy after a months break. It’s great to be back!
That is so inspiring! This is the 3rd time I've started, and this time I really need the support! I'm heading back to work tomorrow after 5 months of to deal with cancer treatment. I'm so excited and nervous but it helps to feel I can, like we all can!
Yay!!!! I did it! I did it! I did it! After 3 years of relative inactivity as I dealt with loss after loss, I’m back on the mat. Day 1 in tha bag! A bit of a challenge to be honest, but I’m happy to have done it. Onward! Thank you Adriene!!!!!
Welcome back! 🥳
@@Sonification thank you🤗
I did this challenge last year when I was in the most active stage of my life. I was gaining muscle, climbing every week, eating well, finally taking care of my body after years of struggling with mental health and eating disorders in high school. Then in early May, I got COVID and it sapped the energy out of me for months. That plus helping my family move cross country and spending a semester in Europe means my body has changed a bit, but that’s ok. The theme of Center means a lot to me, it means I can finally settle after a very chaotic year and retune with my body and movement. Thank you again Adriene and I look foreword to this month!
Good morning everyone! Day 1 practice was great 👍 Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Hope you have an excellent day as well!
I have jumped on CENTER after FLOW too. SO happy to be here! Thanks so much. Wonderful to see my FLOW folks on CENTER!
I have NEVER had a more satisfying back crack than what happened to me at 29:00. I started laughing with actual JOY at the release. Thank you so much for the gift!
So it's not just me? Lol GIRL!
@@celesteparker4842 sounded like bubble wrap 😂
Same! ☺️👏❤️
😂
Always astounding to refresh the video after the practice and see the viewcount increase--I just shared my practice with 17,000 other yogis. Very humbling feeling. Best wishes to all of us in 2023, and see you all tomorrow!💜
I'm not going to lie, this was physically tough for me, even at tabletop my arms were starting to shake!! But as an on-and-off again yogi who has been following Adriene's videos for 9 years I'm ready to start my regular practice again after a hiatus. I'm ready for the challenge! Thank you Adriene for always bringing me back to the mat ❤
My arms were burning too! I know how you feel. 30 days here we come 💪
I'm with you! It's been a long break for me, and I've definitely lost some of my strength/skills but if I got them once I can get them back now :) our bodies will thank us!
I had a really hard time too! I used to do yoga a couple times a week or at least once a week at the YMCA but then I had a couple of injuries and moved and now it's been a few years since I practiced and I'm a beginner again, but I'm totally ready to get back into it!
I'm 23 and I feel like this should've been easier for me but it's not, at least we are here showing up.
I couldn't even lock my hands behind my back! I just put them as close as I could and pushed as hard as I could without overdoing it so that hopefully I will be able to do that again! Everyone is different though - some parts I could do the addons fairly easily but some bits I needed extra breaks
Over 2 weeks late, but I showed up, and that's what matters. I used to love doing yoga and many other forms of exercise but stopped when I got really sick. That was almost 5 years ago at this point. Now I'm nearly 300 lbs and have a bad knee.
Doing day one had me crying within the 1st 10 minutes, and I couldn't tell if it was from pain/relief of stretching stiff muscles or emotional release from all the stress and anger I've been carrying.
All I know is that I'm glad this is it, and I'll see my future companions who chose to show up tomorrow. I'm proud of you!
Keep going! ❤
you got this! I'm a month late, but like Adriene said, the hardest part is showing up :)
so proud of you!!! lets do this
Signs ndktbz
Great work and motivating 😊
I’m in a rough place right now, and when you said “move like you love yourself” … I took that away from the mat and it’s helped me a lot. I needed that.
I resonated so much with your comment and her saying that made me stop in my tracks a little. It feels like i've been living but I haven't really 'felt' myself or my movements in so long. It's been 6 months since you commented and I hope you are in a better place now!
Thank you Adriene for keeping the 30 days yoga challenge alive and thank you everyone for being here together! Sending love and peace! 🙏🏻💚
Hello adrien and everyone! Thank you so so so much for todays practice. I’m a yoga teacher in Istanbul. I was having health issues lately. So, I’ve been skipping my yoga practice. Today I’m on my period. My body was stiff. I showed up anyways. Your commitment motivated me! It was like a reunion with my body, I realized I missed it. I missed myself, I missed to be in touch with my body. I felt it and I felt how it’s in pain in some areas, how it’s doing everything it can for me and I appreciate. I wanted to say thank you so so so much 🙏🏼💐 It’s 9 am in istanbul. I have energy to go through this day!
Thank god I'm. Not the only one on my period as well.
@@paige15803 Ah wish you well my friend!
Here to be held accountable. I’ve been missing yoga for the almost 2 years I was dealing with two cancer diagnosis’s. I almost finished your 30 day challenge in 2022, but treatment prevented a lot of things. I am SO happy to be here, in remission, getting my strength back a little each day. Thank you for being here and doing this for everyone! So grateful 🎉
I did it last January and I’m back again! I’m two days behind but I’m excited to get started today! Last year the 30 day practice taught me a lot about my own strength and about discipline, I’m sad to say my fitness went downhill the rest of the year, but I’m hoping this kickstarts a better routine for 2023!
Trust me, you are not alone. I am in the same boat. I cried today doing first day which I couldn’t do it properly. My body was so still like an iron rod. I used to be so active. Let’s nail 2023!
@@prabus5856 I feel you:) starting a day late. And finding that every part of my body is resistant. Very tight. Very painful. But knowing this is the best thing I can do for it right now helps.
I’m starting a day late too. The important thing is starting
I'm on day 1 today, but that's ok. It just means day 30 will be the day before my birthday lol Glad to be here!

Started tearing up at the affirmation, “I can and I will.” I struggle to love myself daily, but I look forward to getting better at self-love with this challenge. As always, grateful for you, Adriene, and your generosity to share this gift. We can do this, friends. We can and we will.
The best thing is seeing the amount of views go up after I select the video again, and I realize about 6000 people were practicing at the same time. Imagine that! What an awesome group!
I'm so happy to be back! These 30 day yoga journeys at the start of the new year are honestly one of the greatest gifts ever. Sending love to all of you as we embark on this journey together!✨
I have not done yoga in quite a while, life gets busy and you feel tired and overwhelmed.... when that happens to me I forget that yoga gives me energy and helps me feel SO alive and ready for the day. Thank you Adriene for making this series, I am looking forward to getting back on track with regular practice even after these 30 days are up. Internet world, we got this. We can. You are all beautiful.
It's been awhile since I did yoga and my arms, legs were very shaky but I got through it and I feel better. I have never done a 30 day yoga challenge so I'm looking forward to future classes. I can, I will 💖
Same here! I was soo excited for last year's/2022 January journey, but me and my 2 daughters got COVID on my youngest's first birthday! 2 weeks into the challenge... I was so bummed and upset bc I had NO energy to do yoga for months after that. I've struggled to do yoga ever since. I can and I will do it this month! We all CAN ☺️🥰
There is something that motivates me knowing there's thousands of people doing it the same day as me.... I have bad FOMO and I don't like doing/being alone for 95% of the time for things. That's probably why I get discouraged or unmotivated if I miss a day, and also once the month challenge is over!
Really trying to have a good mindset that I can do better this year.
@@autumnsworld6103 you CAN do better this year, we all can! I think there are a ton of people who will use this 30 day challenge to spark the fire of coming back to the mat on a regular basis. Myself included. Life is good at throwing curveballs our way to take us off the path but as long as we try to take care of ourselves, the path will straighten out again. Missing a day or two or three of yoga will happen but we can always wake up and start fresh and get back on it!
I was reflecting on how this is another year where I haven't kept up the practice, and it feels physically like I'm back at square one.
But one nice thing I've noticed I've retained is the habit of being kinder to myself. I may be no more comfortable in downward dog than on January 1, 2020, but I'm far more at peace with my current ability than I was two or three years ago. I'm thankful to Adriene for helping me learn a healthier mentality, as opposed to the "grind through the pain, your best isn't good enough" approach to fitness I learned growing up.
Excited to get back on the mat and see where the 2023 yoga journey takes me :)
I'm in the same boat Banjo, haven't practised for 2 years due to 'life', really felt it, but knowing I can go back to where I was feels so much better. Here's to 30 days:)
Ditto! I've done the last 2 Januarys with Adrienne, haven't maintained it at all throughout the year, but maybe this year will be different! 😘🤞🙏😁
I love the honesty about where you are and about your journey to be more gentle with self. I was doing yoga daily for years and years and then 2020 came and I slowly got out of practice. I would pick it up then drop it and realized that beating myself up for dropping it was counterintuitive and forgave myself. Thanks for this reflection here. Love and light your way.
That's truly the most important valuable progress and growth
I feel the same way. Thank you ladies for your transparency. 💟🙌
Thank you, thank you, thank you. There are truly no other words to describe how grateful and happy I am that we get to start the year practicing together once again. That's precisely what I need right now🤍
Namaste everyone, wishing y'all a new year filled with light, joy, and love.
I happened upon this right as it premiered. I enjoyed every bit of it, even the parts that are a bit of a struggle for lack of practice. I am so thankful I got to practice with you all! 🥰
Way to go Jennifer! I hope you can stick with it to see the benefit of regular practice & your growth! ❤ happy new year!
Thanks!
Warning post may be tramatic ⚠️
I went to start this in the beginning of January, found out I was 6 weeks pregnant, super excited because I’m 32 and it would have been my 1st baby.
I ended up devastated having a miscarriage days after I found out. I’ve distanced myself from my emotions and life the last two weeks.
I haven’t told anyone what my husband and I experienced, and I don’t know why I’m writing it in a comment on UA-cam..
I guess I just want to say I started this over to get grounded mentally and physically.
I finished day 1 today and I am proud of myself.
Proud of you Sarah 💕
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace in this practice.
I'm proud of you too! So very sorry for your loss. I think what you're doing, starting over, is a very good idea. Take care 🫂 ✌️
So sorry for your loss😥. I can not imagine the pain. Glad you are doing what helps your soul. Find someone to talk to. Bottled mourning tends to fester. Prayers for your peace and a healthy family.
Sarah, I'm so sorry for your lost. I joined this journey today after my miscarrige that was happend on 22 weeks. We also were very happy expacting our baby boy but it did not happend. Now my body is very weak and its hard even to go through first practice but I believe that I could finish the journey and became stronger physically and mentally!
Is anyone here May 1st and excited to complete the journey this month? I started a while back but didn't complete it so am ready for the fresh start that May 1 and Day 1 brings! I'd love to hear anyone else's experiences each day along the way. The arms were shakey within seconds of downward dog today, I am looking forward to finding strength and peace again as we go this month with our fearless leader Adriene. Can't wait for tomorrow!
i am
@@nazifaislam Amazing! See you at Day 2!
May 8th
May 8th is my day 1!
I found this weirdly emotional. I haven't been taking care of myself, and when you said move like you love yourself, it really shocked me to find myself saying, oh no I can't do that. But then you explained that it was more like, to move with the intention to love yourself and that really hit me. Thank you for making your videos and I'm excited to get on this journey.
Adriene you keep amazing me. I've done a few of your 30days over and over. And i keep improving.😊 started Center today again. 🙏
Anyone else shed a little tear after any Adriene session ? - or is just me being an emotional wreck, who participates in self loathing too much, and Adrienes positive talk, no expectations and just general care get to me
It's my 3rd time this year attempting this 30 day challange. Bc of health complications I had to stop the practice 2 times already. Now I'm feeling better and ready to take it on. I hope my health lets me continue. I'm with all of you mentally who are also trying to do this a couple of months late. We got this :)
This is my 3rd time trying to complete it aswell only I've stopped out of lack of discipline. But here we are ❤
Hello from Scotland. Just sang in a New Years concert of Handels Messiah, and one of my fellow singers was going home to do day one of the journey. I just got home and did my day one...yeahhhh... thank you Adriene for being there for us all...here's to day two 🙏🥰
I was there to hear it (and bravo, btw!)! It’s my favourite way to start the new year every time - Handel and Adriene on 2Jan. So special to be doing both together for the first time since 2020, too.
Hi there! Im a Macleod too, although with an 'a', and my daughter is called Fiona! We already have a connection! Here's to us and our journey!
@@lizmacleod7654 we certainly do…how wonderful. Look forward to our journey 🙏🏻
Thanks
Happy 1st dayyy to anyone who's also starting today!! 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you! Happy to be here 🎉
@@JOSHUADIXON.You'll enjoy the journey. 🫶🏼
I quit my daily yoga practice almost 2 years ago because depression had such a strong grasp on me. I gained a lot of weight, lost some friends, and even considered whether the world would be a better place without me in it. With lots of support from an amazing therapist and my wonderdul husband, I pulled through. I'm still struggling to love myself, but I've made huge progress. This video is my first practice since I hit rock bottom and quit. When Adriene said "this is about coming back," I sobbed. Thank you, Adriene, for inspiring some cleansing tears for me today. Can't wait for the rest of this series. I'm ready to be back. ❤🧘♀️
As a certified yoga teacher who really lost her flow, and is extremely picky about taking classes with other instructors (Not cool, I know, I’m working on it) YWA is honestly a God Send. I competed the 30 days Move challenge yesterday, and am now here for the Center journey. I am so insanely grateful for YWA. We are all so lucky to have such a wonderful resource, and light to this community!
I am doing this challenge this month. I did it last year, and I loved it. After finishing today's practice, I could relate to why I loved it the first time: Adrienne is a great teacher. Thank you for your patience 🙏 🧘♀️ ❤
Today is one year since my father died. I am very greatful for the opportunity to let go of my emotions here with all of you and Adriene.
Sending you love and good vibes. There's only a like button when there should be we care. I lost my Son 4 years ago in April. Talk about your Father and talk to him. It will heip. Namaste
This is my 4th 30 day challenge in 5 years. I broke my elbow in December of 2020 so 2021 was a no go for me. I never fully left this community, but after my arm healed it was tough to get back to the mat daily. Once or twice a week was all I did. Today was breathtaking - a short burst of song and a "hey-o" from Adriene and I'm back to finding what feels good 💕
We are the veterans of this community. So glad to see you are back 😇
I also didn’t do yoga for some time now & I’m happy to be back with you😌❤️
Good morning! I'm so excited to be here and take this series on once again. In March last year, I was hospitalized and through a medical nightmare was totally unable to exercise or move for months. I lost a lot of range of motion, strength, and flexibility. Finally feeling like I'm on the other side of itt all now, and. ready to start giving back to my body again!
Anybody else here starting the 30 days a month late? Better late than never, am I right? I hope I can show up for myself every day during this series.
I started my yoga journey last January 2022 and I was HOOKED. I just completed 365 days of yoga and it's all thanks to the gentle, welcoming, and powerful practices Adriene shares with us! My heart is at peace, my body has healed, and my life is changed. Thank you, Adriene! I've been looking forward to this new 30 days all year!
I commit to this 30 Day Yoga Journey because I want to show my body love.
I’m 4 months postpartum, with a beautiful baby boy who requires lots of rocking and nursing which has been hard on my back and shoulders. I’m heading back to work tomorrow, and feeling so many feelings about that. And I’ve finally decided to stop trying to lose weight. I’ve been restricting (or trying to restrict) what I eat since I was ten years old, always dreaming of someday being “thin enough”. Now I’m working to love my body unconditionally, no matter my weight, and yoga has always helped me feel good in my skin. Thank you Adrienne! Glad to be back on the mat 🙏🏼
I had a 5 month old this time last year, so I hear you. I also totally understand the body struggles since ten years old. :( When I discovered YWA at 39 it was the first time I looked forward to exercise and did it for reasons other than trying to be smaller. She helps us feel so much better, doesn't she? Keep loving yourself unconditionally! Thinking of you and your beautiful boy...
🌞 DAY 1 in the books 🌞 Just finished up feeling beyond grateful this journey exists yet for another year. Thank you Adriene, Benji and everyone around the world practicing with me. It already encouraged me to get up early (6.45 in Berlin) and set a healthy and fresh foundation for the day ahead by helping me to get rid of my headache! :) Can’t wait for tomorrow!
👏🏻 Got mine done this morning as well! Starting a new job tomorrow and hopefully I won’t lose momentum to continue.
@@leahlong5573 Uhh how exciting!! I’m sure you can do it!!
Starting here on March 14th 2024! Love these January sets as they are so cumulative and the sequence is perfectly balanced. I just finished MOVE and FLOW before that. Thank you Adriene and the FWFG team for making a daily yoga practice so accessible and enjoyable xxx
And we are off!!! It's so exciting,I love these 30 day experiences so much! Can't wait to spend the next few weeks with you Adriene ☺️ It will be my three year anniversary in April since I first found YWA and can't imagine life without it now! Loved today's practice 💕 "I can and I will"
Namaste everyone 🙏
Hello all! This is the first time I've made it to the live practice. I started yoga two years ago. Thanks to Adriene for her generosity in sharing this with everyone in the world and for her commitment to our good health!
Yes!
Hello everyone! Here for my second 30 day practice live :) Hope to keep up with it this year! Thank you Adriene for gathering us together once again
Yayyy, I showed up and so happy that I did🥰 Peace and blessings to all🙏 Thanks to Adriene and her awesome Team for this gift❤️❤️
What a gift for anyone on the journey of yoga!
Good Morning from Wales UK ❤ Day 1 ✅ so grateful to be starting a new 30 day calendar with you all… We Can do this… Just got to show up everyday… 🎉 excited to see what day 2 has for us tomorrow… Much Love & Gratitude to Adrienne & YWA team… And much Love & Gratitude to All you Beautiful Yogis showing up on the mat with me… 🥰 xxx
Good Morning Wales from Devon UK. Good luck to you too. Much love and Gratitude for sharing and caring. I am excited too. Today was hard in parts but I think I did it! Well we're on the journey now. Thank you for being there too! Namaste
20 mins . That's all . Reminding myself to just breath if I can't do a movement. Love and blessings to all. Excited to be here waiting. Maybe starts at 6am xx
i’ve just restarted yoga again i used to love it when i was 13 but then i stopped and now i’m 16 and happier than ever to start yoga once again! so thank you so much for this!💞
ok
ok
It is a lifelong practice! I found it young too and now, many years later, I appreciate it more than ever!
DO IT
Day 1 complete! Last year I burnt out. 3 months into the new year and recovery has been slow. My stamina is waaaay down, so this 30 minute flow felt brutal, but Adriene's affirmation of "I'm strong" came through just when I needed it. Commenting here to keep myself accountable! See you tomorrow!
I did the “move” 30 day challenge in the last year, not live. It took me many months to complete as I didn’t do it every day. This time I’m committed to following the 30 consecutive day plan. Loved it, such a great thing to do. Thanks.
During this practice I was frustrated at how weak my body felt. I’m glad I made it, and I know that day 30 I will feel so much stronger.
Me too! I knew I was in bad shape but...whew! This one kicked my butt!
Hi, I started this 30-day challenge today, I'm short of breath due to anxiety, and today I tried to try yoga with you to calm down, and the result was wonderful. Thank you, and I wish you all the positive energy and health.
This practice, Center Day 1, is such a good one for us… we consistently come back to it, because the pace and the movements are just right. Thanks!
I’m here November 1, 2023 for Day 1! Thank you Adriene.
I realize that this is the moment when I feel recharged. I'm 16 days behind but I'm motivated to come back here tomorrow. This is a note to myself: I'm strong, I can and I will. Thank you for all the feelings!
After retiring 6 months ago I have kept myself so busy. I realise I have been a human doing, instead of a human being. I have resolved to increase my yoga practice from a weekly class to a daily session. I am so happy I've found these classes, and am looking forward to working with you for 30 days, Adriene ❤
Showing up is truly the hardest part. I loved the affirmation at the beginning!!!
Thank you, all people in Yoga With Adriene's team! This year's soundtrack is so kind and soothing. The room is welcoming. You are the best at making it work by filming facing the window. Light and love to everybody!
So excited for this!! Love the challenges, but yet to start them with everyone else when their premier!!! Namaste everyone. It is an honor to share a classroom with you all!! To those that are new to Adrienne, You are in for such a treat! Perfect way to start and continue the New Year!
last year i got the flu half way through this journey and fell off the wagon, this year after finishing flow, center will carry me through february!
