    I've followed this video 33 mornings in a row, and it still cracks me up at the end when Adriene says, "That was just a simple sequence to get us started." I'm 52. It has definitely not gotten "simple" for me yet, but it's so gratifying to witness myself becoming stronger, slimmer, and more flexible each day. I'm so grateful for this video. Thank you, Adriene!

    I once did Yoga with Adriene every day for a year. It changed my life. But I 'fell off the mat,' as they say, and that changed my life too, but not so well. Returning to practicing with Adriene feels like hanging out with a sweet friend I'd somehow lost touch with. Showing up really is the hardest part, but once you do, amazing things happen. Namaste, y'all.

When you are an addict all you can care about is drugs so when you finally get clean the stress the real world has to offer can be quite over whelming. Thank you for this video it's been very helpful in my recovery of mind, body and soul🙂

      Hi Jasmine, I hope you are holding on and excited about tomorrow, amazing badge to have ;) I wanted to tell you about two tools I found incredibly effective, one is tapping technique (many simple instructions on youtube) which is 2-4 minutes powerful amazing 'switch'. When I first started, it was gentle relief, but the longer I did it, the stronger the feel of bliss was. Also, if you know your painful triggers, like memories of trauma or moments that made you take wrong turn, this will help you rewire your brain to detach pain and distress from these past events, extremely powerful and works miracles, like years of therapy in few session at home and for free. Great for sudden anxiety and cravings too.
      Second is subliminal programming, I like work of Thomas Hall and I also use free download from mindofwinner.com where in very easy way you can select or create your own msgs that pops on your screen while you work or watch something.
      Good luck!

The vibrations alone in the truck are intense. The position I sit in for hours and hours, and not to mention the food that is available. You helped me make the first step into fighting the evolution of a trucker. I am inspiring to be that yogi trucker. The one who gets out at truck stops and does yoga or performs it in an empty trailer when I have one, instead of sitting longer, watching TV or cramming heart attack burgers down my throat. The career I chose is an easy way to fall away from what I am which is one with earth. I live in chaos and traffic and busy busy hurry hurry. So I am giving you great gratitude for sharing such a warm and loving exercise and way of life, way of connection with the universe. I subscribed and shall continue to view your wonderful work. 💜🙏🏼

    I practiced Yoga with Adriene quite a lot (daily actually) during the lockdowns, but also, like others, fell off the wagon sometime since, and this week felt the need to get back into doing 'some yoga'. Foolishly I thought I'd try something new so downloaded the free trial of the 'downward dog' app thing. I honestly set it to the absolute beginners restorative session, but it exacerbated all the aches and tension I felt in my back, neck and shoulders. Not to mention the stiffness in my knees and hips. It didn't explain anything about how to get into a pose, or what to be thinking about to improve your posture whilst you're in it. I hurt for the next few days, and then returned to this, my old favourite: Yoga for complete beginners (with Adriene). Sometimes it makes sense to go with the best (for me this feels good) and luckily I know where to come to find it. So much gratitude and love x

    I am 65 and have fallen seven times in as many months.😐😞🫤. I was previously very active but something happened in January.🤷🏻‍♀️😳. My sense of balance was as if someone threw ‘ an off switch’. Anyway, today I was inspired to try yoga for the first ever time. I was able to do most of this class, but the walking the feet together at the end was impossible.😂. But this was my first time. You are so graceful and your voice is so soothing that I will do this same class until I get a little balance back. Thank you SO much for making this available to us who cannot make it to an actual yoga class. ✨🙌😬💖. You are a blessing to us. See you all tomorrow.

    This video workout is wonderful. It starts exactly where a beginner needs to be and explains so much of what is needed to do yoga moves well. I am coming back from a significant injury and this is just what I wanted and needed to make a serious start in yoga. I looked at several other "beginner" videos before I found this one by Adrienne, and none of the others was even doable. This video is definitely going to improve my overall flexibility, mobility and strength over time. I am looking forward to having done this so many times that I am ready to move up a level, but for now this is perfection and I plan to do it regularly. Highly recommend it.

So you will be able to have a some variety while you explore and extend where your body and mind are right now, and going forward. Welcome, and all the best!

    Hi Adriene. Namaste. I have been doing yoga every week for 1 year and 2 weeks now. I have been building up my arm muscles in that time especially for doing downward facing dog and plank poses and I’m slowly learning how to master the yoga poses. Still have got a long way to go. I have learnt quite a lot about yoga over the past year and love love love yoga. Quite a lot of hard work. I watch your beginners video as well as your other videos to learn the basics and improve on them before learning and doing other poses. I am also getting better at doing the lion’s breath and pigeon pose as well. I have been going to yoga classes for a few months now.

Got a lil' emotional at the end when you said the biggest thing is just showing up, and I've been trying to just show up all year ya' know? It's really hard learning to become more comfortable with your body and love yourself better. Definitely hope to grow through this experience.
