expectations for myself. I just exist and that is okay. (watch this video almost every night and it has helped me with anxiety disorder more than i can say. thank you)
For almost the last 10 years, since I was a child, I've had severe anxiety. It's uncommon for me to get more than a few hours sleep a night, I have chronic pain from holding so much tension, and I have constant intrusive thoughts, and many panic attacks. I often have to take sedatives to even begin to relax my body. I thought I'd try this tonight and I cried mid way through because I could feel the tension leaving my body. I didn't think once about any of my worries, my fears, my 'failures' during the day. It is bliss to have even 20 minutes without them. This was perfect. Thank you.
Sweet angel, I hope you are doing this every day then. Remember your brain is flexible and you are changing the way it functions by sending it new messages. Look how powerful and courageous you are! Gandhi said, "Be the Change" and love yourself for being exactly that. Cry it out knowing it's also all the toxins leaving your system and not always your emotions driving the bus. Sob it out of the new you and send it on its way! Always remember there are souls out here who support you and love you unconditionally, for we are all connected in the fabric of life. Sleep well. 🙏
i know that this video is old, but this has become part of my nightly routine. i don’t think i’ve ever felt more connected to my body and peace like this ever before. thank you, Adriene. ❤️
If you are looking for newer poses and different kind of yoga experience then you might want to try few sessions from @funityfit , hope that will help you as well. Thanks.
While massaging my feet, I started thinking of where my feet had taken me the last 29 years. I couldn’t help but cry. It was such an intimate moment with myself. Thank you
I myself can relate to the intimate and emotional area, completely. I thought I was a bit strange but this is the first time I am taking the time out for ME and loving myself. Through Yoga and Tai Chi both bring me to tears. Great job in Loving yourself ladies!
Same I cried as well I feel like I'm healing with this video. I never feel relieved and relaxed and calm these days but so am I except I'm sobbing. I feel like I'm good person no matter what my parents said to me.
Just wanted to pop on here and say: I've been using this video nightly for about a year now, and it has allowed me to start falling asleep at a normal bedtime and stop having PTSD nightmares. My mental health is improving, and I no longer have as much pain and tension in my shoulders and back. You are really transforming my life with this simple 20-minute practice. Thank you SO much for sharing!
My daughter and I do yoga together and tonight she was like " mama I'm gonna do what feels comfy" her little interpretation of your mantra. Thought you'd love that. Namaste 🙏🏻

It has been almost 30 days that I have been following this routine. I started following it with the first 30 days challenge. When I first started practicing this video I struggled quite a bit. I'm a bigger girl than average so some poses can be harder for me. For example my nose can not touch my knee because of some... fat... in the way. However, I have made it my goal to get both hands to the bottom of my foot during that pose. And today was the day. I've been coming close these past few days but today I actually held it for a while. It stretched he side of my lower back a lot! But felt good! I think this video will forever stay in my daily routine ❤❤
@@chopper1lady Sometimes it's not about flex though but actual, stuff in the way... I'm a bigger girl too and there are several poses that can't happen due to belly and breasts just, being there. Keep it up Sophie! I do an in person class once a week locally for Yoga Meditation but have loved Adriene's videos for years. Hoping to get to this one more regularly :-)
Sophie M go girl!!! Very inspiring! I say, it doesn’t matter what our body types are with persistence and determination you can do thing if you put your mind to it!
I'm 59 and I've been Bodybuilding since the age of 12. The gyms here in Germany have been closed since Nov 2nd and that's the same day I discovered/started Yoga with Adriene. I like her a lot. I really like how she incorporates humor into the practice and allows for individualism as you're going along. I should point out that I'm an American living in Germany and I came here from Austin, Texas, so being able to have a fellow Texan as an instructor is very cool. I plan to continue Yoga when the gyms re-open to see how Bodybuilding and Yoga will work together. I'm hoping it will be like when I combined Bodybuilding with Martial Arts. Thank you Adriene for being such a good Yoga instructor.
@@thrashgoblin9926 Hello Val, it's nice to know someone is interested in how this is going for me. Thank you. The gyms here reopened on the 21st of May, but I was delayed in getting back to training because of a minor hand surgery I needed on both hands. But after starting back with my training, I have to say that the combo is really good. I do Yoga before I go to the gym as a warm up, then do my usual warm up in the gym for the body part I'm training that day, and it has proven to work very well for me. Especially the day 4 Yoga for your back. I was having a lot of tightness in my lower back and this one has helped a great deal. So it's a combo I would highly recommend to anyone who is weight training. Where were you in Texas?
I am astonished that 20 minutes could go so quickly. I feel utterly serene now. I went to look at the news app on my phone after this (which is my routine) but stopped myself and turned it off; it would certainly spoil the calmness circulating through me. Thank you.
After doing these practices before bed, i don’t even bother with my phone anymore. I used to go straight to bed and play on my phone for about 30-40 minutes then try to sleep, but not anymore
To my friends in the comment section: I wish you all the best today, tonight, tomorrow, and every day. I notice a lot of us feeling emotional during this practice, and I want you to know that everyone here is in your corner and rooting for you. You'll get through whatever you're going through, and I'm proud of you.
Thank you - today I was released from my oncologist - 5 years since my bc diagnosis- thank you for this peaceful practice to end a celebratory/emotional day full of gratitude 🙏🏼
Thank you, Adriene. Your lessons heal. While you were talking there was one thing I kept listening to... "Don't mind about deserving it or not. You can give this much love to yourself, you can, do so, feel it." thank you, Adriene, thank you!
just had my final breast cancer reconstruction...got released to do yoga yesterday and tonight I did your bedtime 20 min yoga...thank you so much...it was a great sequence to restart me...subscribed! Namaste
This video got me through some rough times back in 2018. The soft music, and Adriene's voice is soothing. I'm back again, needing her voice and this practice. I'm grateful to have it.
I started this video over a year ago when I couldn't sleep while traveling with work. What's great is I can FaceTime my 10 year old daughter and she can also watch it on UA-cam. So we do bedtime yoga together even when I'm out of town! Great out of town night time ritual and I sleep like s champ.
+George and Molly Well, to be honest I stopped doing yoga like a month ago. But I still believe it's amazing exercise, now I just sometimes practice stretching and of course meditation every day. I can recommend it to you. Have a beautiful day!
Ondra Hrdý same here. I just started a week ago. I try to do it once a day. I'm shaky on some moves but I can't wait to be more balanced. Yoga is so relaxing. I have fell in love with it.
NeQuesha Fraley check out here playlists. It's a practice a day for 30 days. It took me longer than 30 days to finish it, but it was worth it. It's great for beginners and I was able to move my body in ways I never thought possible.
Today was rough...like worst day of the year so far. And i decided I might do some yoga to help me relax and let go of the stress for the day and this was just the first bedtime yoga video I found so i clicked it. All I can say is thank you. I want to start crying because you talked about breathing in love and now I definitely feel ready to fall asleep and make tomorrow a better day
Hi, love! I may not know who you are, but I do know that you're so loved. Even by me, for what it's worth. Whatever it was you were going through when you made this comment a year ago, I'm cheering you on. I know you've made it through - and I'm so proud of you. It will all be okay
Joy and woe are woven fine. I remind myself of this on days like the one you have had. I have had more than one. Be consoled. Yoga is so helpful letting go of heartbreak and body ache. You are not alone. We are all here as one. Seekers. Carry on forgiving first your self.
Umhey, 27, almost 28 year old, and since Saturday, you have already helped my realign my jaw bc of a tensed up muscled that just snapped back into place, I'm working out an ENORMOUS knot in my shoulder, and I don't think I have ever felt this good in my entire life. THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK. I OWE you for bringing me out of the sciatica and tensed up post partum depression I fell into. And not to mention you helped my face. Which I'm confident will rid me of my migraines I've had since I was a child. THANK YOU. I may be new to the family, but Namaste, Adriene. 💛 You have literally saved my life, and I will never leave this practice.💛🧘♀️
I've been pretty down this whole week and just couldn't get myself to come to the mat, although I knew, it would've been good to move a bit. Today I finally made it and when I clicked on the video and heard her voice, I realized how much I missed her and how needed this was. I'll try to be consistent from now on, but I think I can be a bit proud of myself for making it today, right?
I just came to the mat for the same reason. We get so disconnected through life but it’s like getting on a bicycle-you never forget and you are reminded of the joy instantly once you begin again 🙏
Being a nigh shift nurse my sleeping schedule doesn’t make any sense, so I tired doing this at 4am. I have to say I haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time! Thank you for your upload :)
Even though this is a bedtime sequence, I found this a lovely way to start my day 27 of Refresh April 2022. Yet another one to bookmark. Thank you for these gifts Adriene. 🙏🏻
My husband and I have been doing this yoga session before bed for the past month. We feel so great. We both really enjoy your voice and the easy flow from pose to pose. We also start our day with one of your morning yoga videos. We think you are a great teacher. Thank you very much
Love the bedtime yoga videos! For someone who deals with major anxiety, especially at night time, these videos are such a good resource to help wind down before bed. Bedtime yoga has become one of my favorite parts of my nighttime routine, and I look forward to it every day! ❤
This video is where I come when I need to be gentle on myself. I have come back to it time and time again. Thank you Adriene for everything you put out into the world.
Adriene is the one whose friendly, not without humour, very understandable workouts made me a yoga fun! And she is so charming, so friendly and so calming, She makes me always feel better, happier, mor self relient, Thanks a lot! and the best to all of users from Tatiana Manukovskaya, Russia
I must have done this yoga a hundred times. It is such a great way to end the day, for a while I didn't need the video 😅 Now as I am recovering from whooping cough, I am so glad that I have yoga to help me slowly become active again. It's a bit of a long road, so I am so glad for this, Adriene. Thank you!
Adriene: I was diagnosed with Covid-19 one year ago today and was hospitalized as the result. My 2 month recovery entailed discovering Yoga, or perhaps Yoga discovered me. In any case, your channel now guides my practice come morning and evening, and I just wanted to send you a huge Thank You for all that you do for so many if us.
I love hearing your soothing voice, that helps calm me down, release stressful thinking and headache almost the time. I wish someone who read those comments know that, everything will be ok, you're on your own unique progress, so no matter what happened, what the silliest things you did, or how many things you find it so hard to do, or even you feel lost, and not belong to this world, just know that, you're always accepted 100%, unconditionally, by your deepest soul
This is basically the best yoga video ever. So relaxing and well guided. I needed that so bad. That was my first yoga after having a baby. My body is not what it used to be 😢
I feel you, sis! I have two lil ones and my body has shifted drastically over the last 5 years. But how can we expect to remain a caterpillar after having literally transformed into a butterfly? 🥹✨
letting go of good moments (instead of trying to cling on) letting go of bad moments (instead of ruminating ) mindful peaceful refresh joyful connnect Thank YOU Adriene/ YWA team and community - Namaste to all practising
same here. but I think it's not only that. Adriene has a special way of communicating with us on a deeper level, like right to the soul and right to the body...not only verbally. it kind of amazes me how this can be possible even through a video. she glows and sends so much love and peace. :)
I felt so much relaxed and totally in entire different world. This is I first time feeling different when I doing yoga. Thank you so much ☺️ good night, the world.😘 🌃
Particularly during the cold season, when walking to the yoga studio in a blizzard loses it's appeal, I've come to your channel. While I often relied solely on sleep meditations before bed, adding this practice as well has assured an amazing night's sleep. Thanks, Adriene!
So tender, so precious. I love the music at the background and the decent amount of time you give to each pose. Feeling so relaxed and ready to sleep now. Big thanks! Blessings to everyone ❤
I've struggled with sleeping since I was 10 years old. I suffer from severe anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, so me getting an adequate night of sleep just isn't something that happens very often. I had started doing yoga and stumbled across this video and it has literally changed my life. Thank you so much.
forward gg Hey! It’s going so well. I’ve been diagnosed with restless leg, sleep apnea, and depression. I also continue to suffer from severe tics due to anxiety and insomnia. Everytime I do this I fall asleep so much more easily. This really really helps.
oh my god. this was my first yoga with adriene video. To my SHOCK, when you had us massaging our feet, I got up and got my oil and then all of sudden you said "maybe you start to bring oils into the mix" and i was like :O. and THEN you were like "a little lavender oil on the feet" and i SHRIEKED because my oil is a lavender oil!!!! such a sign. SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you so much!! You have done what a life time of struggling, alcohol and drug abuse, prescription drugs and many failed attempts on trying to feel centred and okay in my mind… you pretty much saved my life with just being u and sharing it with the world I thank you in the most real way ♥️
This has been my night-time routine for 4 weeks now. Thanks for this video. It’s really helped me get ready for sleep as I’ve been struggling with anxiety lately. Your voice and the background music is very relaxing. And I feel more nimble after this exercise
It maybe took 8 years for this video to find me, but I know that it was waiting for the right moment. Today, I felt a bit shaken by a few bad feelings, and before going to sleep, I won the fight against doing nothing. This video helped me a lot, I felt so connected to my younger self and so relieved. Thank you to everyone in the comments and to you for making this video. I am grateful for being able to experience so many positive emotions♡
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Refresh Yoga 🧘🏾♀️ Day - 27 is truly deep relaxation. I am so sleepy. I should have completed this practice at night. I'm going to do a quick meditation and hopefully, I'll feel rested for my work Zoom this afternoon. Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤🦋
Adrienes style of yoga... being present and moving with your own body, listening, and obeying is something that isn't done enough. She's a rebel 😎 like me lol. I feel like I'm doing yoga with my little sister because her personality is sooo like my sisters. Speaking me through loving myself AND my journey AND tge practice... yeah you a sistah!
This was one of the best yoga sessions I've had in a long time, I didn't realize how much stress I was holding in my body for so long... Thank you Adrienne for helping me truly feel at peace and relaxed
I have done this video so many times of the years and keep coming back to it because it feels like such a caring beautiful thing to do for myself. Thank you Adrienne!
For anyone who's doing this early in the morning as part of "Renew", if you want to wake up a little more after this practice (it's just sooo relaxing), I added a minute of Adriene's Knockin' on Heaven's Door after this practice and it's like an espresso shot of wake up fun 😃
lovely idea!!!! I was like "adriene, whyyy the multiple bed time videos? don't you know i do this in the morning?!" lol. Im half considering doing some of these at night just for the switch up, since adriene knows best, but today that's just not an option so heavens door is a great compromise!
this is such a wonderful and restorative practice.. i have debilitating anxiety and recently got off of dangerous prescriptions so now I am feeling everything extra. this practice helps me relax soooo much! if my heart is racing and i'm nauseous and i'm a spiral of negative thoughts and generally feeling awful, i feel confident now that if i give my body and mind a little bit of the attention it deserves, i am capable of feeling better. bless u angel adriene!!!!
Anyone else crying, because of how hard we are working and doing our best even forgetting to take care of our bodies because we are still feeling useless even though we are working really hard ?
My daughter told me about your wonderful yoga classes, even though she lives far away, I feel like I am doing them with her. I feel so relaxed and healthier with your classes Thank you so much. ❤️
Followed you for so long on UA-cam you more than earned my enrollment in “What Feels Good” was having coffee with an old friend. And her husband has been bragging that he works out with you every day. My niece in Vienna, Austria does the same. Thank you for believing in us and prompting us to believe in ourselves
This was the best thing a have ever done in an attempt to fall asleep, relaxing and super helpful to practice breathing, works like a dream! I love this so much! Thank you for making this!
Adriene, I know I'm not alone here in turning to your videos during this deeply stressful time of unrest and uncertainty. About two weeks ago, my unchecked anxiety disorder and unhealthy habits landed me in the ER with heart and chest pain. Embarrassingly, but thankfully, nothing was actually wrong-- I'm sure it was mental stress manifesting physically. And yet, at the time, I was convinced I was going to die. We call that panic, and it's recently been a debilitating force in my life. I'm freshly 26 and otherwise healthy. I've been at war with my body for such a long time. And I turned my nose up at UA-cam yoga because it didn't seem "authentic" to me. But your channel has been a HUGE game changer, and addictive in the best way. Sometime my eyes fill up with tears when I practice. Sometimes I have a huge sense of overwhelming joy. And everytime, I'm grateful I started using your videos to reconnect with yoga, my body, and my soul. Just so grateful for your authenticity and your kind spirit and these wonderful videos. They're changing my life for the better.
I just wanted to say how very much I resonate with everything you said here... right down to the Anxiety/Panic ending me in the ER with the same pains. I suffer from Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety disorder. I’ve been out of work because of this. I’ve been in Intensive therapy programs, individual therapy, just started these amazing Soul Medicine sessions each week. Reading your comment was like you were in my head. So grateful I found Adriene, too. Also glad to know there are more people that suffer as I do, in this world. Namaste 🙏🏼🧘🏻♀️🙏🏼🕉
Forgot how precious Yoga with Adriene is. Here I am after 2 years from my last yoga (I started when I was pregnant, now I have a 2 years old toddler with me). My life has been going up and down but here I am grounding again. Thank you.
I watch your vids everyday and I've noticed this 1.wieght loss witch is very good 2.ansiaty levels down 3.depression levels down 4.that I love you so much because of all of this ♥️♥️♥️
@@aalexjohna why dont you stop being an ignorant person yourself and realise this is a video to help people. Not insult people. If you have nothing else to say instead of being rude then go somewhere else
This is one of my all time favorite sessions. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to do yoga for a few months and now that I am able again… it just had to be this one. It felt like coming home. It meant the world. Namaste❤
I've been doing this yoga routine for a week now and immediately I can tell you, my sleep has gotten much better, my temper and my mind is more relaxed. Overall, I recommend this yoga routine for anyone who has a hard time falling asleep and need some relax time.
I have a sleep disorder called Restless Leg Syndrome, and this video has been a huge help in getting me to fall asleep at night. I watch it every night before bed and have been sleeping with no trouble for the past couple weeks now.
+KatieOrrett I have RLS aswell! thankfully mines not too extreme at the moment though, ive never had trouble getting to sleep because of it. sorry for rambling , just never heard of anybody besides family members who have it haha !
+KatieOrrett I have Parkinson's Disease and sometimes get very painful cramps in my legs when I am asleep. Since i have been doing the gentle yoga morning and evening, this has not happened. Thank you Adriene!!
What is something you can let go of for today?
expectations for myself. I just exist and that is okay. (watch this video almost every night and it has helped me with anxiety disorder more than i can say. thank you)
doubting myself
Letting go of everything. Just be

🤍🤍🤍
hope this finds you well
Another chance :)
Thanks!
Thank you, Adriene. Your lessons heal. While you were talking there was one thing I kept listening to... "Don't mind about deserving it or not. You can give this much love to yourself, you can, do so, feel it." thank you, Adriene, thank you!
just had my final breast cancer reconstruction...got released to do yoga yesterday and tonight I did your bedtime 20 min yoga...thank you so much...it was a great sequence to restart me...subscribed! Namaste
+georgia morrison you're such an inspiration, keep being awesome!
+Monica Coman thanks...hey I tell ya yoga has made my recovery sooo much better!
Congratulations!! You are a warrior!! kicking cancers ass
Sending you lots of loving healing energy and prayers :)
This video got me through some rough times back in 2018. The soft music, and Adriene's voice is soothing. I'm back again, needing her voice and this practice. I'm grateful to have it.
I started this video over a year ago when I couldn't sleep while traveling with work. What's great is I can FaceTime my 10 year old daughter and she can also watch it on UA-cam. So we do bedtime yoga together even when I'm out of town! Great out of town night time ritual and I sleep like s champ.
Today is the historical day of me starting with yoga. Thank you!
How has it been so far? I started a week ago and feel so peaceful and get so excited when I get to do another session!
+George and Molly Well, to be honest I stopped doing yoga like a month ago. But I still believe it's amazing exercise, now I just sometimes practice stretching and of course meditation every day. I can recommend it to you. Have a beautiful day!
Ondra Hrdý same here. I just started a week ago. I try to do it once a day. I'm shaky on some moves but I can't wait to be more balanced. Yoga is so relaxing. I have fell in love with it.
How is it going? ^^
Ondrej Hrdy same here
Adrienne I did the 30day challenge and I finally fell in love with yoga! You are the best teacher and I love you. Keep up the good work!
Ooh! Is the 30 day challenge here on Adriene's channel?!? I just subscribed and I'm already in love!!
Awesome! Thanks!
Will the 30day challenge help you lose weight?
Hi, wht is the 30day challenge?
NeQuesha Fraley check out here playlists. It's a practice a day for 30 days. It took me longer than 30 days to finish it, but it was worth it. It's great for beginners and I was able to move my body in ways I never thought possible.
Thank you for everything.
Today was rough...like worst day of the year so far. And i decided I might do some yoga to help me relax and let go of the stress for the day and this was just the first bedtime yoga video I found so i clicked it. All I can say is thank you. I want to start crying because you talked about breathing in love and now I definitely feel ready to fall asleep and make tomorrow a better day
Hi, love! I may not know who you are, but I do know that you're so loved. Even by me, for what it's worth. Whatever it was you were going through when you made this comment a year ago, I'm cheering you on. I know you've made it through - and I'm so proud of you. It will all be okay
I know this is a year old comment but I hope you're doing okay! 💖
Joy and woe are woven fine. I remind myself of this on days like the one you have had. I have had more than one. Be consoled. Yoga is so helpful letting go of heartbreak and body ache. You are not alone. We are all here as one. Seekers. Carry on forgiving first your self.
Loving the natural flow of this entire routine! 🌿
I have never enjoyed yoga as much as I do with your videos! you are awesome thank you
same
same she has awesome energy
I agree...she's awesome!
Agree I do love adriene she's awesome
agreed.
Thanks, this is amazing
Umhey, 27, almost 28 year old, and since Saturday, you have already helped my realign my jaw bc of a tensed up muscled that just snapped back into place, I'm working out an ENORMOUS knot in my shoulder, and I don't think I have ever felt this good in my entire life. THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK.
I OWE you for bringing me out of the sciatica and tensed up post partum depression I fell into. And not to mention you helped my face. Which I'm confident will rid me of my migraines I've had since I was a child. THANK YOU.
I may be new to the family, but Namaste, Adriene. 💛 You have literally saved my life, and I will never leave this practice.💛🧘♀️
I've been pretty down this whole week and just couldn't get myself to come to the mat, although I knew, it would've been good to move a bit. Today I finally made it and when I clicked on the video and heard her voice, I realized how much I missed her and how needed this was. I'll try to be consistent from now on, but I think I can be a bit proud of myself for making it today, right?
You sure can! 💖✋🙏
This video brought me back from 2 months of stray after covid : )
You can! Keep it up❤️ You got this!
Incredible, you should be so proud of yourself :) x
I just came to the mat for the same reason. We get so disconnected through life but it’s like getting on a bicycle-you never forget and you are reminded of the joy instantly once you begin again 🙏
Being a nigh shift nurse my sleeping schedule doesn’t make any sense, so I tired doing this at 4am. I have to say I haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time! Thank you for your upload :)
This was perfect for getting me out of a panic attack in the middle of the night and getting some rest. Thank you🙏
❤ you're not alone
Even though this is a bedtime sequence, I found this a lovely way to start my day 27 of Refresh April 2022. Yet another one to bookmark. Thank you for these gifts Adriene. 🙏🏻
Hi Romanow! I actually wish I had saved this session for the evening. I'm so sleepy 😴 🥱 now. Lol! 😆Namaste and Ase 🦋♥️🦋
My husband and I have been doing this yoga session before bed for the past month. We feel so great. We both really enjoy your voice and the easy flow from pose to pose. We also start our day with one of your morning yoga videos. We think you are a great teacher. Thank you very much
Thank you !!! This video has upped our bedtime game, and we love it!
I did this with my cat sleeping beside me on my mat. so peaceful and calming.
Caitlin McCready Haha the difference between cats and dogs
Nah, my demon cat was leaping in and out of a box and bolting across the room
ME TOO!
carswinks same!! With my dogs!!!
me too! but my cat wanted to walk on me and didnt leave me much space on the mat....love him still ;)
Love the bedtime yoga videos! For someone who deals with major anxiety, especially at night time, these videos are such a good resource to help wind down before bed. Bedtime yoga has become one of my favorite parts of my nighttime routine, and I look forward to it every day! ❤
This video is where I come when I need to be gentle on myself. I have come back to it time and time again. Thank you Adriene for everything you put out into the world.
My most beloved of all your routines. This has got me through some very tough times, and I know there will be more to come.
Since the lockdown I’ve not been able to sleep. Did this for the first time last night and got the most restful and blissful sleep. Thank you 🙏🏻
Me too!
Samee
needed to hear this. i am hoping for the same thing tonight.
I just discovered Adriene. Absolutely love her style. This is my third video. And I can foresee many many more.
Adriene is the one whose friendly, not without humour, very understandable workouts made me a yoga fun! And she is so charming, so friendly and so calming, She makes me always feel better, happier, mor self relient, Thanks a lot! and the best to all of users from Tatiana Manukovskaya, Russia
Thank you!
I must have done this yoga a hundred times. It is such a great way to end the day, for a while I didn't need the video 😅
Now as I am recovering from whooping cough, I am so glad that I have yoga to help me slowly become active again. It's a bit of a long road, so I am so glad for this, Adriene. Thank you!
thanks again for this one. i like to do this practice almost every night ❤️
Adriene: I was diagnosed with Covid-19 one year ago today and was hospitalized as the result. My 2 month recovery entailed discovering Yoga, or perhaps Yoga discovered me. In any case, your channel now guides my practice come morning and evening, and I just wanted to send you a huge Thank You for all that you do for so many if us.
I love hearing your soothing voice, that helps calm me down, release stressful thinking and headache almost the time. I wish someone who read those comments know that, everything will be ok, you're on your own unique progress, so no matter what happened, what the silliest things you did, or how many things you find it so hard to do, or even you feel lost, and not belong to this world, just know that, you're always accepted 100%, unconditionally, by your deepest soul
Thanks
When she said “I choose you!” to the pillow 😂 She’s so adorable.
This is basically the best yoga video ever. So relaxing and well guided. I needed that so bad. That was my first yoga after having a baby. My body is not what it used to be 😢
I feel you, sis! I have two lil ones and my body has shifted drastically over the last 5 years. But how can we expect to remain a caterpillar after having literally transformed into a butterfly? 🥹✨
Oh the early days, never gets old. Thank you Adriene ♥️
That went by so fast! That was beautiful 🐱💕💖🫂
Everytime i do yogo with Adriene, i smile, truly feel inner peace and happiness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
letting go of good moments (instead of trying to cling on)
letting go of bad moments (instead of ruminating )
mindful peaceful refresh joyful connnect
Thank YOU Adriene/ YWA team and community - Namaste to all practising
Love this video! Thank you, Adriene! I watch your videos so often that I feel like we're friends even though we've never met! Namaste.
same here. but I think it's not only that. Adriene has a special way of communicating with us on a deeper level, like right to the soul and right to the body...not only verbally. it kind of amazes me how this can be possible even through a video. she glows and sends so much love and peace. :)
I felt so much relaxed and totally in entire different world. This is I first time feeling different when I doing yoga. Thank you so much ☺️ good night, the world.😘 🌃
This remains a favorite practice ❤
Particularly during the cold season, when walking to the yoga studio in a blizzard loses it's appeal, I've come to your channel. While I often relied solely on sleep meditations before bed, adding this practice as well has assured an amazing night's sleep. Thanks, Adriene!
I’ve probably watched this video near a hundred times. Has helped me fall asleep so many nights
So tender, so precious. I love the music at the background and the decent amount of time you give to each pose. Feeling so relaxed and ready to sleep now. Big thanks! Blessings to everyone ❤
"put on something comfortable"
Hey, it is quarantine time, my PJ has been on for the past two weeks
usmiechnietazet 😂😩
😂😂😂
Same, lol 😂😂😂
@@supercat438 today i went to the supermarket with full makeup and high heels on
@@usmiechnietazet Lol! I do the same when I put out the garbage!
I've struggled with sleeping since I was 10 years old. I suffer from severe anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, so me getting an adequate night of sleep just isn't something that happens very often. I had started doing yoga and stumbled across this video and it has literally changed my life. Thank you so much.
Its been 6 months since this comment was posted. Is it going well now?
forward gg Hey! It’s going so well. I’ve been diagnosed with restless leg, sleep apnea, and depression. I also continue to suffer from severe tics due to anxiety and insomnia. Everytime I do this I fall asleep so much more easily. This really really helps.
@@iantoon This is great to know. I have had insomnia for two weeks now and hoping this helps me calm my sleep anxiety
I love the way you describe the breath like a wave crashing in the ocean. Simply beautiful and calming. You are a natural poet.
Thank you so much! Over the last year and a half your yoga has helped so much with reducing my panic attacks!
I can’t help but smile at the end of every one of your videos. Thank you for helping me through some of the worst times of my life. You’re an angel.
oh my god. this was my first yoga with adriene video. To my SHOCK, when you had us massaging our feet, I got up and got my oil and then all of sudden you said "maybe you start to bring oils into the mix" and i was like :O. and THEN you were like "a little lavender oil on the feet" and i SHRIEKED because my oil is a lavender oil!!!! such a sign. SUBSCRIBED!
lovely coincidence! This was the first YWA video I ever did, several years ago now, and I've never looked back. She's my daily yoga teacher now 💖
Thank you so much!! You have done what a life time of struggling, alcohol and drug abuse, prescription drugs and many failed attempts on trying to feel centred and okay in my mind… you pretty much saved my life with just being u and sharing it with the world
I thank you in the most real way
♥️
This has been my night-time routine for 4 weeks now. Thanks for this video. It’s really helped me get ready for sleep as I’ve been struggling with anxiety lately. Your voice and the background music is very relaxing. And I feel more nimble after this exercise
only when you truly relax do you realize how stressed you actually were. so important to check in with yourself
Yes! 🙌
This is so true
It maybe took 8 years for this video to find me, but I know that it was waiting for the right moment. Today, I felt a bit shaken by a few bad feelings, and before going to sleep, I won the fight against doing nothing. This video helped me a lot, I felt so connected to my younger self and so relieved. Thank you to everyone in the comments and to you for making this video. I am grateful for being able to experience so many positive emotions♡
i feel the same way right now
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Refresh Yoga 🧘🏾♀️ Day - 27 is truly deep relaxation. I am so sleepy. I should have completed this practice at night. I'm going to do a quick meditation and hopefully, I'll feel rested for my work Zoom this afternoon. Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤🦋
feels awesome after work, at night... thank you so much ♥
I am on a mission. I wanna do all your videos. You got me obsessed with YOGA. Best doctor ever!
Adrienes style of yoga... being present and moving with your own body, listening, and obeying is something that isn't done enough. She's a rebel 😎 like me lol. I feel like I'm doing yoga with my little sister because her personality is sooo like my sisters. Speaking me through loving myself AND my journey AND tge practice... yeah you a sistah!
💜🙏
This was one of the best yoga sessions I've had in a long time, I didn't realize how much stress I was holding in my body for so long... Thank you Adrienne for helping me truly feel at peace and relaxed
I have done this video so many times of the years and keep coming back to it because it feels like such a caring beautiful thing to do for myself. Thank you Adrienne!
For anyone who's doing this early in the morning as part of "Renew", if you want to wake up a little more after this practice (it's just sooo relaxing), I added a minute of Adriene's Knockin' on Heaven's Door after this practice and it's like an espresso shot of wake up fun 😃
lovely idea!!!! I was like "adriene, whyyy the multiple bed time videos? don't you know i do this in the morning?!" lol. Im half considering doing some of these at night just for the switch up, since adriene knows best, but today that's just not an option so heavens door is a great compromise!
this is such a wonderful and restorative practice.. i have debilitating anxiety and recently got off of dangerous prescriptions so now I am feeling everything extra. this practice helps me relax soooo much! if my heart is racing and i'm nauseous and i'm a spiral of negative thoughts and generally feeling awful, i feel confident now that if i give my body and mind a little bit of the attention it deserves, i am capable of feeling better. bless u angel adriene!!!!
Anyone else crying, because of how hard we are working and doing our best even forgetting to take care of our bodies because we are still feeling useless even though we are working really hard ?
Go us!
I feel this so much...
💕
i feel this on a spirtual level
This might not be the answer you're looking for but... You're a person. You don't need to have an "use".
Wow ❤️🙏 never knew how much I needed this practice. Thanks YWA 💖🥺 & Gnite Yogis ✨
You are an amazing teacher Adrienne thank you so much. Finally a routine with a teacher who I flow naturally with!
Lets give a thumbs up for Adriene. She is so awesome
So true! ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍😊💕
This is my "go to" video before bed almost every night now! And I awaken to Morning Yoga with Adriene! Thank you so much.
You are honestly so awesome, I am so grateful the planet has you to help so many of us find light❤
My daughter told me about your wonderful yoga classes, even though she lives far away, I feel like I am doing them with her. I feel so relaxed and healthier with your classes
Thank you so much. ❤️
Followed you for so long on UA-cam you more than earned my enrollment in “What Feels Good” was having coffee with an old friend. And her husband has been bragging that he works out with you every day. My niece in Vienna, Austria does the same. Thank you for believing in us and prompting us to believe in ourselves
This was the best thing a have ever done in an attempt to fall asleep, relaxing and super helpful to practice breathing, works like a dream! I love this so much! Thank you for making this!
Haven't done yoga in a while and wow I must say my mind and body missed it❤ Glad to be back on this beautiful journey to self
discovery❤
Thank you for being there for me and everyone else practicing.🙏
Adriene, I know I'm not alone here in turning to your videos during this deeply stressful time of unrest and uncertainty.
About two weeks ago, my unchecked anxiety disorder and unhealthy habits landed me in the ER with heart and chest pain. Embarrassingly, but thankfully, nothing was actually wrong-- I'm sure it was mental stress manifesting physically. And yet, at the time, I was convinced I was going to die. We call that panic, and it's recently been a debilitating force in my life. I'm freshly 26 and otherwise healthy.
I've been at war with my body for such a long time. And I turned my nose up at UA-cam yoga because it didn't seem "authentic" to me. But your channel has been a HUGE game changer, and addictive in the best way. Sometime my eyes fill up with tears when I practice. Sometimes I have a huge sense of overwhelming joy. And everytime, I'm grateful I started using your videos to reconnect with yoga, my body, and my soul.
Just so grateful for your authenticity and your kind spirit and these wonderful videos. They're changing my life for the better.
I just wanted to say how very much I resonate with everything you said here... right down to the Anxiety/Panic ending me in the ER with the same pains. I suffer from Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety disorder. I’ve been out of work because of this. I’ve been in Intensive therapy programs, individual therapy, just started these amazing Soul Medicine sessions each week. Reading your comment was like you were in my head. So grateful I found Adriene, too. Also glad to know there are more people that suffer as I do, in this world. Namaste 🙏🏼🧘🏻♀️🙏🏼🕉
@@stephaniemoser167 we're not alone! Sending love. Namaste ❤
@@judithprenzlow1311 Much love & light to you! 🤍
Best way to fall asleep before bed! Totally took away my migraine!
Forgot how precious Yoga with Adriene is. Here I am after 2 years from my last yoga (I started when I was pregnant, now I have a 2 years old toddler with me). My life has been going up and down but here I am grounding again. Thank you.
I watch your vids everyday and I've noticed this
1.wieght loss witch is very good
2.ansiaty levels down
3.depression levels down
4.that I love you so much because of all of this ♥️♥️♥️
Never mind yoga, you need to learn to read and write you ignorant bastard.

@@aalexjohna stop insulting people
@@aalexjohna why dont you stop being an ignorant person yourself and realise this is a video to help people. Not insult people. If you have nothing else to say instead of being rude then go somewhere else
@@aalexjohna calm down, mate. English may not be this person's first language
This is one of my all time favorite sessions. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to do yoga for a few months and now that I am able again… it just had to be this one. It felt like coming home. It meant the world. Namaste❤
I've been doing this yoga routine for a week now and immediately I can tell you, my sleep has gotten much better, my temper and my mind is more relaxed. Overall, I recommend this yoga routine for anyone who has a hard time falling asleep and need some relax time.
This stretching of the thigh/hip released anxiety/sadness to m'y oesophagus and throat ❤
All in all a soft, calm, deep and emotional practice ❤
I have a sleep disorder called Restless Leg Syndrome, and this video has been a huge help in getting me to fall asleep at night. I watch it every night before bed and have been sleeping with no trouble for the past couple weeks now.
+KatieOrrett I have RLS aswell! thankfully mines not too extreme at the moment though, ive never had trouble getting to sleep because of it. sorry for rambling , just never heard of anybody besides family members who have it haha !
That's okay! Mine's not that bad either, I know of people who actually have severe pain in their legs, but it does keep me up pretty often
+KatieOrrett I have Parkinson's Disease and sometimes get very painful cramps in my legs when I am asleep. Since i have been doing the gentle yoga morning and evening, this has not happened. Thank you Adriene!!
