    Today is about slowing down. After you slow down, observe. What's going on?

    Exhale day 13🎉 the more I practice yoga, the more I learn it’s not just the body that needs to work out or have rest days, but the mind as well. The more I meditate, the quicker I find peace, and stillness and calm my mind, these are tools that I’ve started to use in day-to-day life, along with Adriene’s voice popping into my head and reminding me to come back to my breath, they help to ground me and to take a few seconds before I carry on. Thank you, Adriene, for this practice my mind needed this rest, as did my body and for the reminders to come back to my breath. 💖🙏🏻🧘🏼‍♀️

    EXHALE 🧘‍♀ | March 13, 2024 | I'm making an intentional effort to bring back meditation into my day this year. I do find it's easier in the morning when the house is quiet and the thoughts aren't as intrusive yet. Doing this late afternoon with all the work tasks buzzing around was definitively more challenging - but I certainly appreciate the extra opportunity to check in! 🙏

    This practise was special to me. I’ve never cried during yoga, but now I found myself crying when we connected from the crown into the body. I felt I let the love from around me to reach my heart which I have never dared to allow before - now I felt loved and safe ❤ This brought up other feelings and I felt overwhelmed for a time - but connecting to the ground these feelings found a path and I felt relieved and lightedned.
    I want to thank you, Adriene, for the November 2022❤ from the bottom of my soul and heart. You have had my back for a time now and for that I am very grateful ❤

    I’ve never cried during meditation until today. With all the chaos in the world right now, I chose this video. I felt the need to meditate rather than the need for what your other videos offer me every Saturday morning. I dropped into deep meditation about halfway through and once that energy rod connected from the top of my head to the earth below, tears gently started and I cried. I’ve been so strong for everyone around me for weeks. It felt so good to cry. Thank you Adriene 🙏

Every day I feel the fruits of my practice transcend into my daily life and manifest in my physical, mental, and spiritual body. Let's keep it going!

    Adriene’s guidance and gentile voice allowed me to imagine that the line down my spine took on a healing glow and surrounded me, grounding me to the earth and the sky. My divergent thought’s melded together and resolved to acceptance, forgiveness and calmness. This emotional release was quite unexpected, but the unexpected can happen when you open to the possibilities.
    She may never know how her instruction affects us individually, but I’m sure she has seen enough responses to know how deeply she reaches us at times. I’m glad to have included her in my daily practice.

I was able to take some time out though for yoga and meditation and my tears just bubbled up. I feel lighter, even if the problems are still there. I was able to find time for myself, no one else. Thank you for that. Love from Pakistan!

    This was a tough one for me today. Meditation doesn’t come easy and I’ve been experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort in my back and neck for some time now. It was hard to not get distracted by it, kept pulling me out of my focus. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do the full 17 minutes but I persevered and was surprised when I got to the “one more minute part”. I’m hoping this months meditation focus will help me to detach a little from my pain and help my body not go into panic mode as much when it flares up. Thank you, Adriene, for all you do.

    Thank you Adriene. I feel grateful and brighter. This one was physically difficult for me for some reason. My mind was there, but my body fought. Bobbled, swayed, shook, ached… couldn’t quite get tall and still. Glad I still have 26 days to look forward to!

    I did something unusual today, I don’t usually deviate from the video but I really needed to move, so I ended up keeping the video playing and listening to Adriene’s breathing instruction, whilst going through my own gentle flow. It actually fit so well together.
    …Now I will do my own silent meditation for 10 mins. 😃 I guess this is part of making the monthly calendar work for ourselves and what we need. 🙏🏼💛 thank you, Adriene!

    Todays practice was just perfect , I haven’t meditated in a while so this was such a nice reminder of how amazing meditation is for me , and by the very end with Adrienne’s visualisation of the string from the top of my head to the earth just gave me this extreme gratefulness for the earth and what it provides us as a source to survive by the time I opened my eyes I knew I went very deep into that gratitude which was amazing ❤ root day 11

    For some reason I almost decide to stop and switch to continuing a headspace mediation I’ve been practicing and then Adriene says, ‘you’re more than half way through’ and the rest of the session I spent so beautifully grounded and tears rolled down my cheeks at the end. Thank you Adriene, truly.

    I realised that I was starting to become incredibly jittery and restless and had the feeling that I was on my way to a panic attack, which I haven't had in years. I've managed to control my breathing when I was about to have them before but this night it felt very near, like I was about to lose myself a little. So I came here, in hope of calming myself down, taking control of my breath and dont let my thoughts waver me to a place I dont wanna see myself be at. A video later and I'm able to write this, thank you, even if I did I myself, this guide certainly helped, Adriene, love from me and to anyone else reading this.

    Adriene I have been very depressed lately. So stressed that my stomach hurts, back of my head hurts, I am clenching my jaws. These symptoms were increasing in the past week. I couldn't sleep without waking up stressed and crying. I came across your channel couple days ago. Thankyou for giving me a ray of hope. I am doing yoga everyday seeing your videos. My own experience in the first week is that I am not waking up from my sleep and getting a better one then before. I feel very good after I finish the session and I will continue yoga with you. I am sure I will be in a stable mental state and will be able to manage my stress much better. I will post an update 3 months from now as to how I feel more better and how you changed my life for good ( Which I am sure will happen). Lots of love.

Getting ready to do it in bed and i know it'll be enough to wake me up to the rest of the day.

Thanks for the soothing practice Adriene. Much love. Namaste.

My lungs felt trapped and for a week now I've been constantly doing yoga with you and meditating twice a day and today I noticed my lungs shaking and releasing emotions, I started giggling and laughing and tearing up, I hadn't realized it was stress and stored up emotions and trauma. Thank you for helping me! Sending you lots of love, always x Hasan

    Adriene, I need to tell you that I started this practice on my mat on 2 cushions for comfort but even then before half way through, as always, I get pain in my upper legs which seriously distracts from my meditation. It’s an arthritis thing and it really spoils my concentration. So I stopped the video and moved to my sofa where I can sit up tall almost pain free and enjoy this practice with you. In future when a meditation practice pops up I will do it this way and not try to persevere on my mat. After we finished today I feel an awesome calmness as if you have slowed down my busy life ! Thanks Adriene, much love 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💞

    I feel grounded at this moment after this meditation practice, the monkey mind is present though but little by little I am beginning to know how to deal with it by acknowledging it and go back to my breath and be aware of the thought.

      @@sarakennelty4914 aw that's so lovely 😍 I did start young with my grandaughter as she has always stayed with me while her Mum is at work. We did this deliberately by working opposite shifts to each other so little one never needed to go to outside child care. This meant even as a very small child she would see me get out my mat. Then she would try to copy as they do and eventually I gave her an old mat to play with. Then this birthday she turned 11 and wanted her own proper mat and my heart just soared. She doesn't always want to do it on a daily basis and sometimes she just flings herself about on her mat, but that's ok, she's still only little and if she gets a little joy from it and some tools to help her as she grows up and encounters all the stress and problems life brings, then I will be happy 🙏 I almost burst one day when I phoned and my daughter said that grandaughter had gone to sit in the car to meditate because it was raining and she was cross about something. I so wish they would teach these little things at school. Anyway, its 5am here and I have Nurse visiting at 10am so maybe should try for a few more hours sleep lol. Lots of love xx
