Thank you, Adriene, for being such a support to everyone through your tireless work. Sending love to everyone.
Stuck at home during this pandemic - perfect time to check out your first foundations videos! :)
Me too!
Ditto!!
Me 3 er 4 or is it er me too as well
You're absolutely the best... I don't feel like I'm failing doing yoga with you. I feel like I'm treating my body instead if hurting it/forcing it to do things it doesn't do yet. thank you

Wheee! This is great news! I want the videos to serve people at home and in their bodies but also to serve as preparation (physically and mentally - sometimes emotionally :) to go deeper into Yoga and spend some time on themselves. We are worth it! Perhaps then we can feel comfortable and empowered in any public class! Thanks for the feedback! XO A
is your yoga good for children
Been practicing for 10 years and this is the first time I’ve embraced cat cow as a journey, literally a meditative experience. Thank you
Hi Rida, it is common. Your wrists are probably not used to being used in this fashion. Everyone is different so I try not to use the word "Normal" but yes it is common :) Make sure you are pressing up and out of your foundation- and not sinking dead weight into your bones/joints - wake up the body. This becomes easier with practice- or rather with practice you will begin to find more ease. You can also experiment with turning your fingers out just slightly- or also practice this on fists. XO, A
This is tougher than it looks! Wow.
Hi, Adriene.
You, again, remind me that how I "get" to the shape rather than the shape itself.
I am "brand new" to Yoga and I am excited about learning. I must say that your personality/sense of humor is awesome and it brings a smile to my face and to my heart. Thank you for all of the information you share with the world. Keep up the great work!!
Hi! So I'm new to yoga and so far I love it! I have always had horrible posture and basically, I just have never felt comfortable in my body. Does this make sense? Anyway, I am a mother of 5 children working full time out of the home so I have no time to go to classes at this point. So I am thrilled to have found Adriene! I have been working on some of the basic poses and hope that I'm improving. Did I mention the fact that I have zero flexibility and that i'm also over weight? Ha! Anyway, here I am!
It's been three year since you first started ;)
How's it going?
@@blupatches3030 6 now 💀
Music to my ears. I hope you slept well! Also, I love to do this in the morning before I even get out of bed. My dog has learned to wait till I am done doing my cat cow variations before he can whine to be fed ;)
Great video! I love the way you describe the movements of each body part in the poses.
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend recently xD
@Elliot Diego definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
*WOW - WHAT A DIFFERENCE* when you actually do it properly...
Is it normal that this hurt my hands and wrists quite a bit?
Tara you can modify with either fists instead of flat hands or bring forearms to the mat. If bringing forearms to the mat it too low use a stool , chair or stack of blankets. hope this helps... You can also use a yoga wedge ☺
Bend your elbows slightly and try ensuring the 'eye' of the inner elbows are facing towards each other. Also, take the stress off your wrist by pressing your fingers firmly into the ground.
What do you mean about the "eye" of the inner elbows? Do you mean that pit on the inside of the elbow?
Yes! :)
Yes its normal in starting
Thank YOU! It is exchanges like this that INSPIRE ME! Thank you!
Fast forward now to your 2019 videos, you look so different! But have also progressed infinitely!
Thanks Margo! YYTT can be challenging but its an ongoing challenge, right? Find the grace! I had to remind myself I did not need to be perfect in TT and to find the joy. Big time. Thank you and namaste to you!
Tried various yoga videos and now that I've found you I am addicted to yoga!!! starting right at the beginning and love the references you make to what the kids call the poses because they stick in my brain I.e. Cat/cow/superwoman...keep up the good work your bonkers, smiley positivity is a fantastic start to the day and I am literally jumping out of bed each morning to learn a new move xxx ooooh and loved the hands/fingers shared it with everyone in my office....share the lurv!
Is it acceptable for men to wear yoga pants?
I usually rush through this pose, and it left me in more pain than I started with. I never knew that I should do it bit by bit to really feel it, thank you!
2024 I’m starting from the beginning ❤😂
I started using a blanket for a second layer which is nice. I also notice that my movement between the cat and cow may be less because I have some chronic back pain, so I have to be gentle in my expectations of how much I am moving in this pose.
I feel too much stress on my wrist. What am I doing wrong? Should I be using my back muscle more?
And, thanks for the video!
Yay! Glad to hear it! Incorporate!!! Integrate! Visit my channel for your yoga inspiration! ;-) xo
Oh good! My pleasure! I'm excited for the next one too :)
I suffer from RSI in my wrists and am verging on being hyper mobile so this pose puts a lot of strain on my joints. Apart from just not doing the pose, do you have an recommendations on how to adapt it for someone like me?
Do you always start the movement at the tail bone and then up to the top of your head? Or do you sometimes first bow your head, followed by your shoulders and then the tail bone?
Smart man! Ah, just reading this makes me want to lock myself in a room and roll around on the foam roller ;)
(Guys if you are curious about what the heck a foam roller is- lets chat! They are AWESOME)
I love cat cow but I always have wrist pain.. any suggestions on how to aide this?
Bend your elbows slightly and try ensuring the 'eye' of the inner elbows are facing towards each other. Also, take the stress off your wrist by pressing your fingers firmly into the ground.
Adriene also has a video "yoga for wrist pain" - where she explains the right foundation for these poses - really-really useful! I had the same issue, now it's getting better!!
Hi, Adriene!
I have been watching your videos for some time now... I noticed i use some of the yoga positions/poses in everyday life without even knowing it is considered yoga. For exampe sukhasana, lotus, cobra... :-)
Anyway, i love your videos and i will continue watching and learning :-)
Warm regards,
Emil Filipov
I am chuckling as automatic captions spits out "cat kapow". LOL No idea what "Guelph eaten" and "fee drying mine" means. My apologies if I am asking too much about transforming videos with automatic captions to closed-captions - just that automatic captions cause me losing my presence trying to decipher what you are saying. Please let me know when closed caption is available.
great teaching
I think ive just done this pose properly for the first time thanks to your video, but it hurts alot. I feel alot of pressure in my wrists and hands i know i should use my feet and knees more for support but i cant seem to. is it suppose to feel like that as a beginner?
This literally made me go to the bathroom 💀
I’ve never seen cat-cow broken down like this. Very helpful. Thx!
The best video on cat-cow I’ve found! Love it! 💗🙏🏻🧘🏽♀️✨🌙
YOU are the one I’ve been looking for! Thank you! Your detailed instructions on how to do this pose leave me floored! I had NO IDEA that there was so much to benefit us from cat/cow, because yes, all of my previous experiences with this pose have been blown through so quickly with not near enough information about how to even do this pose justice. I am so happy to have found you, and to be following you now! ☺️❤️
Should my wrists be hurting or am I positioned wrong? Thanks! Love these!
Try to push your fingers into the ground to take pressure from the wrists, maybe check your shoulders/wrist alignment ? It shouldn't be very painful...
I've just started to learn yoga with You, and I absolutely love it. I have a chronic back pain due to slight scoliosis at chest level. Yet I have to work full time as a healthcare assistant (LOTS of manual handling). Despite the fact, that I follow health&safety guidelines (when possible :)) my back is still suffering. I was always told to exercise to strengthen my back, but I actually hate all the gym exercise and fitness workouts. I really do (and it often makes it worse). Swimming is nice, but membership is very expensive and would take too much time to commute (on the opposite end of the city). But this is like heaven. Gentle exercise which released the stress from my back muscles. Like "poof" and it doesn't hurt. Why haven't I tried this earlier!
When I do cat cow I find my upper arms and the front/tops of my wrists really start to ache. Does anyone have any tips for this?
I think it's the muscles. You don't do pushups regularly, I guess?
Try playing around by turning your wrists slightly out until there’s less pain and more stability. You can also have you index fingers pointed straight out.
Thank you Adriene ❤
Adriene I’m so obsessed with your channel haha I just started doing yoga and you’ve been my primary teacher! I’m so excited to practice these poses and jump back into your 30 days of yoga. I’m on day 7 and realized I need more knowledge when I got to the side plank ;) Looking forward to practicing more foundation. I just LOVE your channel. Thank you for all that you do!!
thanks hilah!!!!
Adriene, I am a first time yoga learner, starting with your foundations and beginners videos. Loving it so much. I have realized just how much "integrity" my back and shoulders need to gain (I also enjoy how with yoga, it is about being gentle to yourself as well). I look forward to learning and growing with you :)
Also... What is the opening song in your video? I love it! Had that little ditty stuck in my head all day yesterday.
Hi Adrienne, I am trying to start some yoga. I love your videos of the basic poses. I am mid 50s with fibromyalgia. I like the cat/cow pose but find my wrists hurting while trying to practice. Is this just normal until my body gets stronger or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Allison B.
Hi Adriene. I am super excited that i found your videos. I was always active, till I gave into RA. With your help, I'm finding me again & not feeling so cramped up :). Thank you so much for helping me to feel better. Not to mention, you being a great teacher for us beginners who feel awkward trying to learn the correct position without hurting ourselves!! Your awesome :)
Should my wrists hurt? I’m new to all yoga and very inflexible?
👍
😺 🐮
Wow! This explanation changes completely the experience. This is a wonderful movement and I didn't even notice before. Thank you!
thank you! i got your back! "the breeze of grace is always blowing, set your sail to catch that breeze!"
Thanks very much 💖 my right hand has more muscles 💪 than my left hand ✋
my wrist hurt is that normal or I did something wrong ?
Bend your elbows slightly and try ensuring the 'eye' of the inner elbows are facing towards each other. Also, take the stress off your wrist by pressing your fingers firmly into the ground.
You could also make fists with your hands for some wrist relief; I have to do that sometimes.
:)
I had back problems for many years, started doing this and it works great, especially before doing any manual work
I don't think I have ever done cat-cow so thoughtfully and diligently. Really expanding the upper back on cat felt so good. 😻
I have a question . Working on the Cat Cow fundamentals video. I'm age 67. I broke a bone in my wrist about 7 years ago which seems to have healed fine. However when I am in tabletop position I get pain in that wrist after a few minutes. I think it is from that 90 degree angle probably because I lost flexibility. Any suggestions about either adjusting the pose or excercised to increase flexibility ? I've been following your videos for a few years, and they were very useful when I was dealing with rotator cuff issues a few years ago. Now trying to learn the fundamentals in hopes of starting a regular yoga practice I am using your fundamentals. Ive learned a lot already so thanks so much.
I’m finding this one really tough, I will keep practicing until I find it a bit easier x
Beautiful description and demo of the journey of the Cat Pose. Thank you very much
Day 127 (part 2!) Wanted a bit more today, so I looked up an old video I haven't gone over in my current run. May do this one again tonight to see what bedtime is like post-catcow.
Just found this Yoga With Adriene and am super excited to finally make this a solid base in my life for myself and my family! One question about cat/cow......I have always had small and somewhat weak wrists and I'm finding that being in this pose too long strains my wrists. Should this improve the more I do it or should I make adjustments? Thanks!
My physical therapist has me doing this. Well.. "attempt" more like it. I can't, but at least I know how it looks for those that can. ^^' (car wreck; severe back problems atm.)
This is a good stretching for sure. I always have some question about this position - which one is the "cat" and which one is the "cow" position? And why don't we call is doggie position? 😁😁
I've just started yoga at my local gym. Its amazing i'm starting to feel like i did before some major injuries and in a week i lost 7 LBS it st naturally came off after starting. The gym i go to only has 30 minute yoga though, would you say its better to do it before a good workout or after or neither?
Thanx for ur video..Namaste🙏
If it seems like I'm commenting really quickly after each video I'm watching it on my television internet but I'm not able to comment on my TV internet so I come back to my phone UA-cam page and comment. This was great. 🤣😘🙏🏽
Did this today, I really felt this working my upper arms..but I felt so relaxed and overall just great after doing this one pose! Working up to the first routine, just learning the proper moves first. Namaste🙏🏻
Day two- It’s about the journey, not just the pose.
I got it! With the bangs you remind me of Mandy Moore from This is Us. And let's be real, after watching one of those shows, Yoga is the only way to process all those feels.
Day 1 of my yoga journey with you. My back feels so good by cat cow. Thank you so much 😊❤
I'm a yoga beginner. I have been to two classes of hath a yoga and am really enjoying it. I agree that cat-cow is often rushed through . I really need to work on starting at the tail bone and working through each vertebrae. Thank you for the great explanation its really helped.
Cat cow has never been so organically complete! Thanks!
Loved it thanks girl! I can see how you got so big even your first videos were amazing xo
Completed #2 21/11/20 Namaste x
WTF? I still don't understand how to do that. Like this movements are impossible 😯
Meeeeeeeowzaaaa! That felt amazing. Thnx Adriene! You da bomb
Bitilasana Marjaryasana
Up
So good! I didn't realise how it actually worked and it took time to get the hang of but once I did it was amazing.
I love your videos! Could you maybe do a yoga video on an everyday yoga routine to improve or get flexible. I can't even sit cross legged without my knees and legs hurting a lot.
Jessi Kercher find some yin yoga for that. Flexibility is mostly found in our connective tissue. I wonder if she has done one for yin. I hope so! She is great.
I have bad posture, aches and pains, basically in bad condition, going to keep going with this as i feel it will help me.
Massaging my inner organs sounds uncomfortable... 😢
should my palms wrists and arms be hurting this much? I cant really feel my spine!
Hi
my palms hurts while doing the table top pose. Can you please tell me what can I do.
I am starting from the first video February 2024
Hello, is normal to feel pressure in head and easy headache while doing cat pose?
How do I keep my wrists from tightening up and getting strained?
Wow, you look like Winona Ryder when she was young ❤️
Love the old ones
Love these lessons but struggling to coordinate breath with movement, particularly on the exhale. Even if I try and used pursed lip breathing to prolong it it still feels unsatisfying, like it’s not really coordinated. Is it just a question if practice or are there any postures that particularly assist with this?
Should I inhale in a mouvement and exhale in the other mouvement !
Amazing how little has changed. Nailed it right from Go! What an amazing attitude. Imagine if we all spoke to one another like this, how much better the world would be with a small simple change towards compassion. Thank you so much!
m new ...into yoga ...but i m learing frime adrine
In fact, I suffered from pain in my right shoulder and neck for a long time. I tried the yoga lessons you taught. Glad to say I feel really relaxed now. I am lucky to know you like this. thank you so much. 😀
I always try to follow and do it... and I can something now... I am from Bangladesh and thanks for creating this kinds of nice video for us :)
These videos have one huge flaw. They finish.
My physical therapist is helping me set up a gentle yoga routine and she recommended I check out your videos on the poses she's starting me with. She really recommended this pose for my pelvic floor exercises. I've wanted to get back into yoga for so many years but I struggle a lot with chronic health conditions and it's been really intimidating. I'm so excited to try again though
Thanks for very nice presentation

Thanks for this videos Adriene! I'm just starting again after a while without doing yoga because of my wrist. Please could you tell me what can I do to strengthen it so it's not painful after doing cat cow pose. Thanks 🙌
Is this pose safe for lower back pain?
