    As we continue our journey to better ourselves and to be the best version of ourselves we must do it mindfully and lovingly.
    I propose we don’t buy in to language that doesn’t support a healthy mind with that “summer body”.

      A "summer body" is a body that is loved with a mind that is present and loving. Whatever body you bring into the summer is perfect and beautiful, and a great way to boost this idea is to love your body through yoga and mindfulness and trying our best to love ourselves as we are.

    It's funny, once we finished I was like "Well, that wasn't so hard"... And then reading the comments I remembered all the hard parts :D. Like others have said, this practice is a tough one on the wrists. I was on my fists for most of the time and then went down to the forearms for the hip dips (those things went on forever lol). I recommend Adriene's 11 min wrist video if someone's looking for some extra wrist care :)

      Janelle, it’s great to hear from a fellow senior yogi, especially one with arthritis. Why is it that sharing our pain somehow helps so much ? It’s comforting to know we are not alone. I love how Adriene acknowledges this and says “We are all different “ and says find what feels good 😊 I want to thank you for sharing your modifications.

    I really need to work on my arm strength because the first half of this killed my arms, my abs felt okay but I just couldn't stay up! The core work on the back though made me feel better about struggling in the first half, I was able to bring my legs lower than i have in a while so i suppose I am improving! BALANCE day 14

  • @williamb7275

    Funny, reading my previous comments I would never have guessed it, but I hated this one today. 😝 Just felt all over the place, given the lack of space and the mind and body resisting. But then I remembered the mind and body are not essentially me. They can react as they wish, but I do not need to be dragged into it. Once I did that, I enjoyed what followed the bridge pose at about 15:15.
    Curiously, a previous time I did this, it was my mom's birthday. Today, Dec. 14, is my late grandma's birthday. Happy day grandma!

For the first time ever I checked where I was in the video and was only half way through. I almost stopped it but continued on.

    When doubling up on Adriene’s yoga videos, I must remember that her shorter videos often end up being more intense than the longer ones. The two shorter videos ended up turning into one long and intense workout. Even though I was shaking very early on into this second practice while still recovering from the first, I am extremely happy with how much strength and progress I’ve gained from six months of yoga. I wouldn’t have made that progress without Adriene and her daily/monthly guidance. Thank you for all you do for this community, Adriene! Even when we struggle and doubt ourselves, your gentle voice is there to tell us to remind ourselves, “I am strong.” Always grateful. 💞

      @@chocolatecurls94 Thank you! I had been exercising daily before yoga but yoga has still made a huge difference in how my body feels. Kind of put off trying before because I thought yoga was more for flexible bodies and mine is far from flexible, although I’ve made more progress there than I ever thought possible after six months. You just have to stick with it and repeat the harder videos later to see how much progress you’ve made. I definitely agree on the mental benefits as well. Yoga is amazing for body, mind and spirit once you are fully open to it. I’m glad you are also enjoying the benefits! Sending much love to you too! 💞

No matter how intense, or whether or not we can complete the video(s), the important part is that we tried and keep on trying. Every minute counts and should be seen as a victory.

    My belly and I definitely still have a way to go towards unconditional love...
    It's crazy for me to realize over and over again how societal beauty standards have been ingrained so deeply into my soul and have changed how I value my body. The thing that carries me through every day without fail.
    I use this time on the mat to remind myself of that. My belly is beautiful just the way it is. And if I get into a better shape while doing yoga, that's nice, but it can't be my priority. That has to be connecting with myself and making room for mindfulness and love!
    And I do feel that. Every day that I turn up is a surrender and I am so grateful for it!
    I send love your way, Namaste! ☀️

    Align, day 17. February 2023. That was tough, particularly on my shoulders. Couldn’t manage more than a couple of the hip dips.
    Energise, day 8. June 2022. I found the first half really tough on my shoulder, which I broke last year. Definitely a challenge today.

    Still here for UNION - November 2023, Day 12
    Not going to lie, this was hard today. I almost gave up but kept going with tiny breaks and getting right back into it. Made it 'til the end, and I'm feeling so good now. When life gets difficult, we have to push through and by doing so, we get stronger every day.
    Sending love to everybody who is still here! You got this! ♥

    Well, this practice definitely showed me I have some things to work on. Core work really brings up a lot of emotions for me. I burst into tears after the first round of “flamingo dog” circles, and was flushed with words on non-affirmation like “I can’t do this,” “I don’t know what’s going on,” and generally “what the f--!?” 😅I stuck it out, but found myself being super hard on my amazing body that still pulled me through (with some sort of grace I might add) even though I wasn’t really encouraging. At the end I made sure to give thanks to my body, because even though I’m feeling under the weather and a bit irritated today, i couldn’t have done it without my body and breath. I try to remember when talking to myself I’m talking to my inner child too. That helps me be a bit more gentle, but there’s work to be done.
    This practice is definitely that. I look forward to forgetting about this video and finding it later, to see how the next session compares.
    Namaste everyone, here’s to being true to the moment, even when the feelings aren’t so comfortable and pretty!❤🙏🏼

    I'm only 36 and already have carpel tunnel. A friend suggested yoga because it's weight bearing. (While still being gentle and not pounding on the wrists) Last night my wrists were bothering me so this morning I looked up core yoga because I figured that would bear weight quite a bit. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Also Adriane's constant message of loving my body-specifically my wrists this morning-was just what I needed. Thank you, Adriane, you are a lovely human!

It was amazing to observe myself doing all movements easily with minimum effort and it was first time I felt the heat with no fatigue in addition to the energy and elation created afterwards!

    After 690days of yoga with Adriene, today was a fail! I couldn't carry on after 10 minutes. When Adriene said " not at the expense of your sanity . . ." I realised I didn't have to carry on. I'm going to find 'yoga for when you are not feeling well' and do that instead. Thank you Adriene. You are truly a blessing to the world ❤

    I’m counting the fact that I showed up for this today as a victory. I didn’t do half of the reps (at least), but no guilt tripping over here, thanks to Adriene’s ever loving (and funny!) guidance that has sunk in over the years. Adriene makes me enjoy this and take it at my own pace. Makes me love her even more! I look forward to some day nailing videos like these, but today is perfect where I am.

    Okay, weird thing...I had a dream last night that I was sitting and doing back bends with my upper body to touch the floor with the back of my head (NOT something I can actually do! Lol) and was told that when I could do that perfectly I would "win" the opportunity to be paired with a guy who was sick and needed my help. Then, in the morning, I choose to watch this video which I discover has back bending poses that felt very similar to my dream. Plus Adriene is saying to "trust you chose the right video" and "when you take care of yourself, you can take care of others." This video felt oddly connected to my dream.
