I keep showing up, just as I am! This is the furthest I have gotten in the 30 day challenge. I don’t have a tranquil quiet space. I am creating it in me! This has been my most valuable lesson from this series. I am extremely appreciative of you for helping me accept that it’s not about the space or the clothes or if I’m feeling perfect. It’s what I bring to the practice, with my breath and my focus and my curiosity ❤
You are showing up with honesty and your best self. That is everything right there. We have the tools we need within ourselves. Last year I was surrounded by chaos and noise. Yoga was my way of creating calm, peace and a sanctuary. Keep on showing up because the benefits are huge. Have a beautiful day 🙏
You know, I fell off this wagon on Day 3, but I'm still going to do it -- all 30 days, too. I mean, who says I can't do it later in January through February? Just wanted to say this to encourage others who haven't been keeping up. Let's do it anyway!
Absolutely! Most other years I have done it at my own pace, life happens and the main thing is making practice fit with your life, so happy to see you continuing to show up for yourself and making the practice work for you 🎉
I love that this year's series are all under 30 minutes which makes it more attainable for every day practice. Not that I don't love Adriene's long workouts, but for 30 days it was the perfect timing to fit it into daily life
I also appreciate the shorter practices. I have been having trouble with motivation to get out of bed in the mornings. But I am able to fit in 20 minutes!
I also appreciate the shorter workouts as someone trying to get fit at the beginning of the journal. I've almost not gotten on the mat till I've seen the practice for the day was 20 minutes. That's a motivator for me. Just enough to get the body moving.
I've been doing the daily practice and then adding an old video to get more time in (but my schedule is pretty open and allows for it). Seeing comments like these reminds me that different people have different lives and levels of business to attend to - and I appreciate the perspective. Some people need more, some people need less, but we all show up.
Thank you to everyone doing this and commenting. -it makes me feel like I’m part of a real community. Love seeing everyone’s comments they’re my great when I finish ❤️
Is it just me? Is this 30 Day Flow Journey somehow just incredibly special? Every day there is something increasingly powerful and almost magical. The physical, spiritual and emotional elements all just seem to be tapped into and explored, embraced and celebrated in a huge warm hug of love, acceptance, support and friendship. Each day I leave my mat with an honest smile both inside and out. I forgive myself if I miss a day due to long shifts and just catch up the next day. I laugh when I wobble and just re-set with a smile. Each day is my new favourite, they are all just so wonderful. Thank you Adriene (and Benji of course)❤. Completely free of charge and with so much love, you offer us a way to change our lives for the better. ❤❤❤❤
I agree - this is my 5th year doing this, and there is something about it....maybe we are more open to the process??? The community always comes through! 🥰
My only goal in life is to be as unbothered as Benji, he gave me a good giggle in this one 😂 I also had another little laugh as I’m not quite flexible enough to get from squat to a seat and tumble every time but oh my goodness isn’t it so much fun! Love love loved this session! Big love to everyone I get to practice with each day 💗
hi everyone. I want to say that I'm giving up on this challenge… Sort of.. I'm 21 years old, and after a huge mental health scare and a year in recovery, yoga has become a haven for me. I have an anxiety disorder that made me anxious about sport and activities, so growing up I did very very little. My body was very weak. During my recovery, yoga became a way of finding strength- but also it was the biggest healer for my mind and to ease my anxieties. It’s taught me so many things- the biggest one being learning when it’s too much for my body. On Jan 1st I did my first day on the challenge, an hour before I left to migrate to Australia for 6 months (day 2 and 3 completed in my hotel in China!) I’m an au pair, travelling and suddenly my schedule has completely changed, I’m finally living my dream that I thought I would never ever do. so the last few days, my body has been exhausted, I could hardly move I just needed sleep, so I missed days and now I am behind. Today I said: ‘I’m not going to be angry with myself, I’ve put too many goals on my plate and my body needs to come first’. I will complete the last few days at the end of the challenge. In yoga, there’s no such thing as failure. Thank you Adrienne, you helped me change my life ❤️
What a journey of self discovery you have been on. I love your self awareness, honesty and vulnerability. It makes you strong and resilient. Keep coming to the mat as a little bit of yoga goes a long way. You don’t need to finish the 30 days in real time just when you have the time and energy. Giving yourself permission is a brilliant first step. Well done. Good luck with the au pair job x
Well done you for being honest with yourself and for giving yourself the freedom to return to the challenge when you are ready. At the end of the day,this is what it's all about.I regularly have to substitute asanas in the practice as major cancer surgery makes some positions impossible for me. Adrian has taught me to.laugh when I can't quite get there and feel proud of myself when I do. Good luck with your new job. What a brave soul you arexx
You’re not giving up on FLOW. It’s just that you are being taken into a flow that you have to follow right now…you’re honoring your truth. God keep you strong in your whole being, always. ✨✨
@@nickoletallen3744 Exactly! I think that the OP is NOT giving up but she/he has realised the point that Adriene is trying to make. Do what you can, if only sit still on your mat.
Awesome session today. My tree was shaking like I was in a strong wind but it made me laugh. Thank you Adriene and everyone that joined us today. Have a super day all. Love and light. Namaste.
Good morning! It's so funny that today Adriene should mention not having the perfect sanctuary; My sister and her daughter are staying in our tiny house and I have just done this session in the pitch black of my bedroom, squeezed between the end of my bed and the wall; lights off and earphones in so as not to disturb my daughte who is sleeping in my bed! 😂 Perfect day to find my balance ❤ Thank you Adriene and Benji. Good day everyone xx
Omg me too!! I'm crammed between my bed and a wall with barely any space since it's the only part I can block off where my new puppy can't accidentally pee or poop on 🤣
Setup sounds very familiar 😂 ...and balancing poses in the dark are next level. When I actually get to practise in daylight or with lights switched on, they often appear to suddenly be so much easier. Just now, my swaying tree and I were looking for a shadow on the dark wall to focus on 😂
Each year, the YWA 30 day journey evolves. There is so much depth to this one. So skillfully curated just for us with the focus on tending to the nervous system while strengthening the body (gently & lovingly) rather than simply mastering poses. Thank you for masterfully creating this beautiful series with such care & love, my friend 🩵
That was the most comical practice I’ve had yet - my three year old joined me. She stripped down to her birthday suit, announced she needed a poo, brought her potty in to do said poo, and managed to do many of the poses with me. We loved lions breath together. I laughed my way through it and had a great time. My truth when I allow it to be as it is (poo and all). Thank you Adriene and Benji❤
started this on March 1st as an act of gratitude and still at it. I'm nowhere near perfect, but I'm farther than I'd be if I didn't do this. This is not my first 30 day practise, but I come to each one more and more in awe of how uniting this feels even though I'm doing it alone, and in this instance I'm doing it 2 months after it was originally aired. That's all Adriene ...and the lovely community she has created.
The truth is this community and journey is helping me so much during an extremely rough month. There’s so many things going on right now in my life, (mainly my dad being in the hospital now for over 3 weeks), that could easily keep me away from doing this journey this year. This is my release and thank you all for being here with your lovely comments and thank you Adriene for providing this time for me to release any stress and anxiety and show myself some self love. So very thankful for it all from the bottom of my heart💕
I'm with you Holly, with the Dad in hospital and the stress that goes with it. Isn't it lovely to be able to share this practice with someone who totally gets it. Best wishes for both our dads.
Today’s practice felt SO GOOD! I am surprised at how far I’ve come so far. It inspires me to keep going! Adriene and Benji are a light in my day. My sweet kitty accompanies me on the mat, and that is what makes my space a sanctuary. See you tomorrow, friends! ❤
Guys and gals, I woke up at 6 am to do this before work. I’ve never in my life practiced yoga this early, even after practicing for 6 years. That goes to show that change and transformation can be slow but it sure is possible. Also kudos to all who have made it this far, at any point. You showed up and that’s the hardest part! Way to go!
Last night we had to say goodbye to our kitty, Luey. He usually would perch himself next to me while I did my yoga. A couple times throughout the practice, I’d look over to see if he was there even though I know he isn’t. I miss him so much already. Thank you Adrienne for giving me something to hang onto today.
I started this in January and I’m picking it back up again now!! that decision is such a kindness to myself and i hope to keep working towards showing myself that in every way i can. This community is welcoming and encouraging like no other, there is no place for shame here!!
I love how every day someone will declare this day the absolute best. Adriene, you are meeting us all at just the point where we need you. Felt an unfamiliar ease in my upper back today and I rejoiced. Grateful for every single person here.
I don't know which is better, doing these practices, or reading the comments after! Adriene, Benji, and this community are bright spots in a dreary world!
Truth that this positive community makes a difference in our world. Thank you to all who show up today and sending overflowing gratitude for Adriene, Benji and the team for creating this beautiful journey.
My left side tree pose is so different from my right. I couldn’t get my left foot above my knee while I had my right foot on my upper thigh. I started to get really frustrated with myself but finished on a positive note, pushing away the negative thoughts like those intrusive ones that come up while meditating. I will get there some day. I accept and love my body as it is TODAY.
Day 22! I just love watching Benji laying on the yoga mat while Adriene maneuvers around him. Forward folds would be so much more pleasant with a Benji to greet us! He's so sweet!! Loved the practice today. I can tell that my legs are stronger!
I really did not want to move today. But once I got myself on the mat, I slowly started feeling better. And then a gigantic rainbow appeared outside my window! What a delight!🌈
I am just now taking on this amazing journey, as i recently discovered it. Today was the first time I ever did yoga in a place that wasn’t my room (aka: comforting and known) and it felt amazing! You’re teaching me that I’m my safe space, and I’m so grateful for it❤
9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5
🌞Day 22🌞 I’m trying to be more in the current moment to ease anxiety and stress and yoga helps a lot with it. Thank you and - although I’m behind - see you tomorrow :)
Day 22, February 15th. The Truth is I'm really feeling better in my body and finding flowing in and out of the mat. It's amazing ❤ You are Amazing. Lots of love to all❤❤❤ Thanks, Adriene and Benji ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏 ❤
Day 21.5 😺 After a great morning and on this very long Easter weekend I've managed to come back and catch up on one of my lost days this evening. I really felt like I understood using "all four corners of the feet" for the balance poses and was better for that advice. I'm feeling really tuned in and refreshed again, ready for the final push.
It such a lovely, embrace your truth session...i really loved it.💞🧘🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️To the 644 and counting that just premiered with me live...you are awesome & amazing...😊💪🏾✊🏾🌿💞💞🙏🏾
I'm really struggling this January, after ending one chapter of my academic work while not having moved on to the next quite yet, being sick with covid for 2 weeks and feeling like there's not enough sunlight. These daily practices are really one of a few things that are helping me get through it. Thank you, Adriene❤
I'm a little late in the challenge but doing it right into February. Just wanted to say thank you to Adriene for often doing the less demanding option with the less fit amongst us. Like holding on to the wall for the quad stretch or barely ever showing her full chaturanga-up dog. Most yoga teacher both online and offline show options to modify but still show off their peak pose. this then becomes the default and a source of competitiveness and makes many people feel inadequate despite all the talk of "listen to your body" / ignore others. Adriene not only talks about kindness to yourself but is an active and authentic role model in how to actually DO that. THANK YOU!
See you tomorrow ❤❤❤ Keep flowing and discovering the beauty of regular practice. Thanks and lots of love and support energy for all practicing people and Adriene with sweet Benji ❤❤❤Namaste 🙏
Loved this practice. When Adrienne says “Thank you for showing up and sharing your time and energy with me” I feel so empowered and proud I took the time to invest in myself. When she says “I see you tomorrow” I really look forward to the next day. This makes the end of the video one of the most important parts for me in the practice but also in my day. Namaste. ❤
Keep your balance and calm your breath. I'll try remember this today. After a tricky day at work yesterday, I didn't get much sleep. As well as turning on my diffuser, I lit 2 candles before yoga. This period will pass and work's just one aspect of my life. Thank you to Adrienne and this community. This has helped me today.
Still going, part of the late crew, so brilliant. Fabulous yoga, you are helping us to care for our whole beings with such love and attention to the details without preciousness. I just love the sense of peer support in amongst all the comments. What a special online space you have created Adriene. Love, peace, joy and just a perfect amount of silliness xxx
I am having such a wonderful time on this journey, thank you! I enjoy reading the comments, as well! Benji makes me smile!! I had to laugh today in down dog, because when we did that first lion's breath I had not swallowed and I drooled all over. Oh dear. Haha. Hope everyone has a nice day! It is warming up a bit into the 40s on the NJ coast, some snow is melting, and it is WELCOME!
Had almost caught up... then the last three days happen. Brought a lot of angst and shame and exhaustion to the mat today, for curiosity-truth. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is coming to the mat like a major grump today too! Not leaving much better, tbh, but still proud to have showed up.
Adriene, I just want to thank you so much for all that you do and stand for! *(I am doing your yoga before I head to the polls in New Hampshire to work and hand out ballots and check people off!) Vote when you can!!! I just wanted to let you know that what I appreciate about the 30 Day Yoga this Jan (2024) is the amount of time each one is. I LOVE that I have time to do these every day and that is what helps me this (JAN) session, is that most are within 20-25 minutes and that is very doable for me....AND so appreciated!! It may even be how I show up each morning knowing I do have time today to do this!!! I spread the word about YWA to anyone who will listen!! *(I am now a retired RN) but when I was practicing (43 years total), I had my diabetes patients tune into you because you are so welcoming and approachable and doable and they (those who listened), found you wonderful as well! I can only hope they are still hooked like I am! Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!!!
i got up early today (finally slept all the way through the night for the first time in ages - I feel like a new parent does when their baby does the same) and celebrated with today's practice. What a great start to the day. Thanks all for being part of this community and helping me celebrate!
I LOVE the little Benji-cuddle between updog and plank! 💜💜 My fave is hugging my dogs when I’m in forward fold and then lifting them up with me when we do flat back or root to rise 💜💜 Thank you for the reminder, not everyone’s “peaceful space” looks the same, but all of them are right for each individual 💜
I just feel sad and have a anxiety today. But I am here and I did it, I move throw whatever comes. Just believe in better days if you have a bad one…love❤️
It’s one thing to do random yoga most days. I’m finding it’s quite another to go on a yoga journey every day with Adriene and all of you. It’s wonderful, it’s working and it’s so worth every second of my morning!
I was a wobbly tree today! Didn't feel super strong but I did accept that this is simply where I am. Thank you everyone for continuing to show up and leaving inspiring comments. Keep it up!
Today was the first day I did in the evening, and after a long day of walking. Though tired, I felt so nourished and appreciative for this time together.
Flow Day 22:01:24✅✨ Truth✨.I love Adriene and Benji💞😊 and this awesome YWA community...You all have kept me sane❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾 This by far has been the best 30 days Yoga journey... it's perfectly timed and just flows from one to the another in 20mins max! I've looked forward to each, every morning, i feel more alive and more energetic and we can revisit month after month. Honestly ,everyone that's still here.well done💕💪🏾, everyone that's playing catch up, or missed some days or weeks, you've got this! we are rooting for you, keep going💪🏾✊🏾🧘🏾♀️❣️ Adriene, i'm eternally grateful for the challenging days and imy entire body, mindset thanks you always. Enjoy! All here globally 🌍 is a blessing. Sending truthful positive vibes to all here or after. Namaste💝🙏🏾🙏🏾
Day 22! Seriously wow! I’ve come to kind of love balancing postures because they demand my full focus which is a difficult thing for me, and I’m usually mentally in a few different -laces at once.
Hi 👋🏿 Vardagalahiel! It's great to meet you. Yes, the balancing postures will assist with improving our focus. I really enjoyed that practice. Have a great day! 🦋❤🦋
This is a testimony: for about three years, I started the 30-day yoga journey but struggled to complete it. Last year was challenging, but I managed to finish the 30-day journey and proceeded to do over 200 days of yoga. This year, showing up on the mat everyday has felt easy and natural, like breathing. If you’ve been struggling to show up consistently everyday, just keep trying. It gets easier. ❤
Thank you for sharing the loving and trusting relationship that you have with Benji with all of us. The gentle way that you interact with each other is special and beautiful to experience.
Good morning! My essential oils and witch hazel arrived yesterday. Tomorrow I should have a sweet smelling mat for my practice! Thank you for the quick video on making a mat cleaner.
Hi everybody! I Im so glad to be a part of this! I really feel a connection to the world when I practising with you all! I love you Adriene and swwt Benji! Love from a cold an dark Stockholm!❣
Yesterday's practice: My affirmation was "I choose happiness." I have been in a rough place for the last 2 plus weeks. I had decided yesterday to focus on saying positive affirmations instead of negative ones. For example: "I am/will be ok" instead of "I am a mess". Then I did your practice and chose the happiness affirmation. God has sent you to help me and I am so grateful! I just did a HIIT workout with a family member of mine this morning and had so much fun! Your practice followed and helped me stretch and cool down and get ready for my day. I love the balancing poses! Thank you Adriene and cutie Benji!
Definitely creating my sanctuary inward today as I have practiced with 3 kids and 2 cats (fans of the practice and Benji!). And yes I am behind but keeping going... at a much better pace than last year. Very grateful!
Good morning All!💕 I realised during this practice that my truth today is that I am feeling insecure and it was affecting my focus however by the end of practice I was at least gald to remember that I was doing the premier with a bunch of you guys and taking that final breath to close brought me back to community which was comforting. My truth is also that I can experience many emotions at once without attaching to any one too intensely ❤ lots of love to you all
You are not alone in feeling insecure :) today was a bit of an anxious day for me. But yes, we are all practising together, which as you said is very comforting. I really like your truth about experiencing many emotions at once without attaching to any one too intensely. That gives me hope! Thank you for sharing. Sending love ❤
There is so much to love about this practice, especially how Benji wanted to be front and center! The reminder that we don't need perfection to practice is so powerful...as I listen to my 13 and 9 year olds battle it out down the hall.🤣 Namaste everyone!
Once again, today was just what I needed. I am so much kinder to myself now when I fall out of tree pose. No longer striving for a perfect version. Thank you. 🙏
Today I showed up after, not knowing this practice was TRUTH themed, telling the truth to a dear friend. I had disrespected a fact of hers that she’d trusted me, I shared it without her consent. This, on her Words, broke her heart. I assumed my mistake and asked for forgiveness. She’ll think about it. I am not proud of having hurt her. But I recognice the act of truthtelling and of assuming that mistake and of the possibility of fixing. I no longer want to lie, hurt or disrespect. But I did and I dont want to punish myself for it.
I really did not feel it today, but after I started this actually became my favorite day of them all so far. Thank you so much! Lots of love to you all
I keep showing up, just as I am! This is the furthest I have gotten in the 30 day challenge. I don’t have a tranquil quiet space. I am creating it in me! This has been my most valuable lesson from this series. I am extremely appreciative of you for helping me accept that it’s not about the space or the clothes or if I’m feeling perfect. It’s what I bring to the practice, with my breath and my focus and my curiosity ❤
You are showing up with honesty and your best self. That is everything right there. We have the tools we need within ourselves. Last year I was surrounded by chaos and noise. Yoga was my way of creating calm, peace and a sanctuary. Keep on showing up because the benefits are huge. Have a beautiful day 🙏
💗
Yes! Keep showing up. It makes such a difference. ❤❤❤
Good job Lucinda! ❤❤❤

anyone else still pushing through? You've got this!!
You know, I fell off this wagon on Day 3, but I'm still going to do it -- all 30 days, too. I mean, who says I can't do it later in January through February? Just wanted to say this to encourage others who haven't been keeping up. Let's do it anyway!
Exactly...the beauty of this is, you can revisit it month after month. You can do it. Sending you truthful strength & courage 💞✊🏾
Absolutely! Most other years I have done it at my own pace, life happens and the main thing is making practice fit with your life, so happy to see you continuing to show up for yourself and making the practice work for you 🎉
This is probably my fifth year doing it and the first year that I’m on track with days .. either way you’ll feel so proud ❤
This! It's all about your journey with you. Doing what you can, with your body, at your pace. One year I did it over 60 days instead of 30.
Exactly, don't let perfectionism hold you down. It's not realistic to expect of yourself to actually do it every single day anyway. 👍🏻👍🏻
Who else watches the outro with Adriene & Benji's double downward dog to the end every day? It is just so pure! 🥰
I do!
I hadn’t “pawsed” to watch before. Thank you for pointing it out. That is adorable. 🥰
Benji is a Yoga Master. I am thankful for his teachings.
Me! I love it SO much! 💜
My grandkids thought that was hysterical.🥰
Let's be truthful: *_We love Adriene and Benji!!_* 💕
I do.😄😂❤❤👍🏾..I have framed pics of them together esp.this end practice of Benji stretching with her... just awesome😊
ABsolutely the truth!!!
Benji is such a big part of her lessons, I love it! 💖
I talk about Adriene like she's my friend. :)

Yes! For me 15-20 minutes is ideal. Maybe longer workouts during the weekends.
Thank you to everyone doing this and commenting. -it makes me feel like I’m part of a real community. Love seeing everyone’s comments they’re my great when I finish ❤️
Right? All the comments have had an especially community feel this year. It’s been great.
I agree. The comments along with Adriene are so encouraging
Being involved in comments helps me to also feel part of the community!

So wonderful words.
This is my fifth year doing this too and I completely agree! Couldn't have put it better myself
My only goal in life is to be as unbothered as Benji, he gave me a good giggle in this one 😂 I also had another little laugh as I’m not quite flexible enough to get from squat to a seat and tumble every time but oh my goodness isn’t it so much fun! Love love loved this session! Big love to everyone I get to practice with each day 💗
Big love to you too❤. It is so much fun. I😂😂@ your honest comment here
Truth! 😂😂💯🎯
"but oh my goodness isn’t it so much fun!" That is beautiful!

hi everyone. I want to say that I'm giving up on this challenge…
Sort of..
I'm 21 years old, and after a huge mental health scare and a year in recovery, yoga has become a haven for me. I have an anxiety disorder that made me anxious about sport and activities, so growing up I did very very little. My body was very weak. During my recovery, yoga became a way of finding strength- but also it was the biggest healer for my mind and to ease my anxieties. It’s taught me so many things- the biggest one being learning when it’s too much for my body.
On Jan 1st I did my first day on the challenge, an hour before I left to migrate to Australia for 6 months (day 2 and 3 completed in my hotel in China!) I’m an au pair, travelling and suddenly my schedule has completely changed, I’m finally living my dream that I thought I would never ever do.
so the last few days, my body has been exhausted, I could hardly move I just needed sleep, so I missed days and now I am behind. Today I said: ‘I’m not going to be angry with myself, I’ve put too many goals on my plate and my body needs to come first’. I will complete the last few days at the end of the challenge. In yoga, there’s no such thing as failure.
Thank you Adrienne, you helped me change my life ❤️
So powerfull from you! To find what your mind and body needs, and follow your own challenge ro your higest good.
What a journey of self discovery you have been on. I love your self awareness, honesty and vulnerability. It makes you strong and resilient.
Keep coming to the mat as a little bit of yoga goes a long way.
You don’t need to finish the 30 days in real time just when you have the time and energy. Giving yourself permission is a brilliant first step. Well done.
Good luck with the au pair job x
Well done you for being honest with yourself and for giving yourself the freedom to return to the challenge when you are ready. At the end of the day,this is what it's all about.I regularly have to substitute asanas in the practice as major cancer surgery makes some positions impossible for me. Adrian has taught me to.laugh when I can't quite get there and feel proud of myself when I do. Good luck with your new job. What a brave soul you arexx
You’re not giving up on FLOW. It’s just that you are being taken into a flow that you have to follow right now…you’re honoring your truth. God keep you strong in your whole being, always. ✨✨
@@nickoletallen3744 Exactly! I think that the OP is NOT giving up but she/he has realised the point that Adriene is trying to make. Do what you can, if only sit still on your mat.
Benji stole the show tonight. He helps us all to relax. We love you Benji. ❤
You too our dear Adrain.
I usually just listen to the video - so today I replayed on FF to watch Benji! Thx for tuning me in to his adorable yoga today ❤
I think Benji thinks it’s his show and Adrienne is his side kick. 😂
Awesome session today. My tree was shaking like I was in a strong wind but it made me laugh. Thank you Adriene and everyone that joined us today. Have a super day all. Love and light. Namaste.
Mine too!!!!
Mine to and I also laughed!
I wound up having to touch the nearby wall so that shaking tree didn’t become crashing tree. 😂
Right there with you on the shaky tree- it's been a while.
my boat was shaking like there was a tsunami! lol
Good morning! It's so funny that today Adriene should mention not having the perfect sanctuary; My sister and her daughter are staying in our tiny house and I have just done this session in the pitch black of my bedroom, squeezed between the end of my bed and the wall; lights off and earphones in so as not to disturb my daughte who is sleeping in my bed! 😂 Perfect day to find my balance ❤ Thank you Adriene and Benji. Good day everyone xx
Nice work showing up anyway 🎉
Wow! Showing up with Modification 💞👍🏾
Omg me too!! I'm crammed between my bed and a wall with barely any space since it's the only part I can block off where my new puppy can't accidentally pee or poop on 🤣
That sounds very much like my setup!!
Setup sounds very familiar 😂 ...and balancing poses in the dark are next level. When I actually get to practise in daylight or with lights switched on, they often appear to suddenly be so much easier. Just now, my swaying tree and I were looking for a shadow on the dark wall to focus on 😂
Each year, the YWA 30 day journey evolves. There is so much depth to this one. So skillfully curated just for us with the focus on tending to the nervous system while strengthening the body (gently & lovingly) rather than simply mastering poses. Thank you for masterfully creating this beautiful series with such care & love, my friend 🩵
That was the most comical practice I’ve had yet - my three year old joined me. She stripped down to her birthday suit, announced she needed a poo, brought her potty in to do said poo, and managed to do many of the poses with me. We loved lions breath together. I laughed my way through it and had a great time. My truth when I allow it to be as it is (poo and all). Thank you Adriene and Benji❤
Loved this!
I was a sad tree today, my beloved cat passed away yesterday. But doing yoga felt good, thank you for that 💚
❤
@@leomickelssonoren657 appreciated 💚
I am very sorry❤
Sending love ❤ animals hold such a special place in our hearts!
So very sorry for your loss!
Late yoga gang! 🧘🏼🙏 who else took a lions breath to close the practice?
I’ve a deeper respect for trees in a stormy breeze! 🙏🏼
I’m still here. And feeling more and more comfortable and part of this journey
Same!
Me too❤
started this on March 1st as an act of gratitude and still at it. I'm nowhere near perfect, but I'm farther than I'd be if I didn't do this. This is not my first 30 day practise, but I come to each one more and more in awe of how uniting this feels even though I'm doing it alone, and in this instance I'm doing it 2 months after it was originally aired. That's all Adriene ...and the lovely community she has created.
The truth is this community and journey is helping me so much during an extremely rough month. There’s so many things going on right now in my life, (mainly my dad being in the hospital now for over 3 weeks), that could easily keep me away from doing this journey this year. This is my release and thank you all for being here with your lovely comments and thank you Adriene for providing this time for me to release any stress and anxiety and show myself some self love. So very thankful for it all from the bottom of my heart💕
So important to take care of yourself especially during stressful times!
@@brooksma9194 very important 💜
I'm with you Holly, with the Dad in hospital and the stress that goes with it. Isn't it lovely to be able to share this practice with someone who totally gets it. Best wishes for both our dads.
It is my birthday today! Can't wait to do this session in the morning!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday 💕
Happy birthday! Have a wonderful day.
Happy birthday! 🌷
Today’s practice felt SO GOOD! I am surprised at how far I’ve come so far. It inspires me to keep going! Adriene and Benji are a light in my day. My sweet kitty accompanies me on the mat, and that is what makes my space a sanctuary. See you tomorrow, friends! ❤
Yes agree❤
Guys and gals, I woke up at 6 am to do this before work. I’ve never in my life practiced yoga this early, even after practicing for 6 years. That goes to show that change and transformation can be slow but it sure is possible. Also kudos to all who have made it this far, at any point. You showed up and that’s the hardest part! Way to go!
That's so awesome!
I love this, so grateful. Namaste!
Dancing Tree team is here! Thank you Adriene for this beautiful practice and your lovely words!🥰🤗
Benji is so cute, calm and fluffy 🤩
Last night we had to say goodbye to our kitty, Luey. He usually would perch himself next to me while I did my yoga. A couple times throughout the practice, I’d look over to see if he was there even though I know he isn’t. I miss him so much already. Thank you Adrienne for giving me something to hang onto today.
I am so sorry for your loss. He is still there watching over you, even if you can't see him
Sending much love to you, it's so hard when we lose our furry family ❤️
I started this in January and I’m picking it back up again now!! that decision is such a kindness to myself and i hope to keep working towards showing myself that in every way i can. This community is welcoming and encouraging like no other, there is no place for shame here!!
I love how every day someone will declare this day the absolute best. Adriene, you are meeting us all at just the point where we need you. Felt an unfamiliar ease in my upper back today and I rejoiced. Grateful for every single person here.
I don't know which is better, doing these practices, or reading the comments after! Adriene, Benji, and this community are bright spots in a dreary world!
Same
Started this journey in January and it's already March... but I'm still making it through these 30 videos! Finally made it to day 21!
Me too. Loving it now I’m back on track
Me too! We are not alone 🧡
Me too! Farthest I've made in these 30 day challenges so still feeling good about it!
Truth that this positive community makes a difference in our world. Thank you to all who show up today and sending overflowing gratitude for Adriene, Benji and the team for creating this beautiful journey.
My left side tree pose is so different from my right. I couldn’t get my left foot above my knee while I had my right foot on my upper thigh. I started to get really frustrated with myself but finished on a positive note, pushing away the negative thoughts like those intrusive ones that come up while meditating. I will get there some day. I accept and love my body as it is TODAY.
Thank you, Adriene, Benji, and every beautiful soul who's practicing today☀️💛
Thank you again, Adriene, Namaste
I started this in April and still here. Loving every day
Day 22! I just love watching Benji laying on the yoga mat while Adriene maneuvers around him. Forward folds would be so much more pleasant with a Benji to greet us! He's so sweet!! Loved the practice today. I can tell that my legs are stronger!
I really did not want to move today. But once I got myself on the mat, I slowly started feeling better. And then a gigantic rainbow appeared outside my window! What a delight!🌈
🙌🌈
I am just now taking on this amazing journey, as i recently discovered it. Today was the first time I ever did yoga in a place that wasn’t my room (aka: comforting and known) and it felt amazing! You’re teaching me that I’m my safe space, and I’m so grateful for it❤
🌞Day 22🌞 I’m trying to be more in the current moment to ease anxiety and stress and yoga helps a lot with it. Thank you and - although I’m behind - see you tomorrow :)
You are showing up, that is all that matter!!! and you are not planning to give up anytime soon
It’s March 11th and I just completed consecutively 21 days! How freaking incredible to be doing this!!!
You can tell Adriane’s got a calm demeanor because she just lets Beni be. She’s been telling us to just be, so she’s practicing what she preaches
I’ll be honest, today I really didn’t feel like showing up.. but I did, and I’m so happy about it❤ “The hardest part is showing up”!
Excellent practice for today's inner world engineering organisation. Benji felt very comfortable on the mat. Have a nice day everyone.
Thank you, Adriene, and sweet Benji, and all practicing people ❤❤❤ we rock, we flow, we are curious and alive. Lots of love ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏
Day 22, February 15th. The Truth is I'm really feeling better in my body and finding flowing in and out of the mat. It's amazing ❤ You are Amazing. Lots of love to all❤❤❤ Thanks, Adriene and Benji ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏 ❤
I loved this class! very special. and the moment of Adriene sleeping on Binji was cuteeee
The truth is Adriene’s beauty is universally unmatched 😍
Day 21.5 😺 After a great morning and on this very long Easter weekend I've managed to come back and catch up on one of my lost days this evening. I really felt like I understood using "all four corners of the feet" for the balance poses and was better for that advice. I'm feeling really tuned in and refreshed again, ready for the final push.
It such a lovely, embrace your truth session...i really loved it.💞🧘🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️To the 644 and counting that just premiered with me live...you are awesome & amazing...😊💪🏾✊🏾🌿💞💞🙏🏾
😂💪🏾❤❤
Even though I'm a little behind on the journey... Daily self love .🧡
I'm really struggling this January, after ending one chapter of my academic work while not having moved on to the next quite yet, being sick with covid for 2 weeks and feeling like there's not enough sunlight. These daily practices are really one of a few things that are helping me get through it. Thank you, Adriene❤
Thank you 🙏🏼 truly I felt I was in my truth today although of fear
Good morning Yogis. Have a wonderful day❤️
Namaste 🙏🏻
Good morning ☀️
Have a wonderful day too! ❤
Another great session, thanks for sharing!
I'm a little late in the challenge but doing it right into February. Just wanted to say thank you to Adriene for often doing the less demanding option with the less fit amongst us. Like holding on to the wall for the quad stretch or barely ever showing her full chaturanga-up dog. Most yoga teacher both online and offline show options to modify but still show off their peak pose. this then becomes the default and a source of competitiveness and makes many people feel inadequate despite all the talk of "listen to your body" / ignore others. Adriene not only talks about kindness to yourself but is an active and authentic role model in how to actually DO that. THANK YOU!
See you tomorrow ❤❤❤ Keep flowing and discovering the beauty of regular practice. Thanks and lots of love and support energy for all practicing people and Adriene with sweet Benji ❤❤❤Namaste 🙏
Loved this practice. When Adrienne says “Thank you for showing up and sharing your time and energy with me” I feel so empowered and proud I took the time to invest in myself. When she says “I see you tomorrow” I really look forward to the next day. This makes the end of the video one of the most important parts for me in the practice but also in my day. Namaste. ❤
Namaste 🙏
A bless morning to Adriene, Benji and the rest of yoga family. Great practice. Thanks very much Adriene Love you, have a great day.❤❤
I adore starting my day like this, thank you Adriene!!!
Oh Benji ❤❤❤ So grateful for this community, we've got this!!
Greatful to you as well!
Keep your balance and calm your breath. I'll try remember this today. After a tricky day at work yesterday, I didn't get much sleep. As well as turning on my diffuser, I lit 2 candles before yoga. This period will pass and work's just one aspect of my life. Thank you to Adrienne and this community. This has helped me today.
Still going, part of the late crew, so brilliant. Fabulous yoga, you are helping us to care for our whole beings with such love and attention to the details without preciousness. I just love the sense of peer support in amongst all the comments. What a special online space you have created Adriene. Love, peace, joy and just a perfect amount of silliness xxx
I am having such a wonderful time on this journey, thank you! I enjoy reading the comments, as well! Benji makes me smile!! I had to laugh today in down dog, because when we did that first lion's breath I had not swallowed and I drooled all over. Oh dear. Haha. Hope everyone has a nice day! It is warming up a bit into the 40s on the NJ coast, some snow is melting, and it is WELCOME!
Amazing lovely yoga whit Benji. Thank you very much. Namaste.
Just loved how Benji was Adrienne’s pillow today ❤
😊
So trusting, not even a flinch!
I was a dancing tree today. Had fun and was more relaxed. Thanks ❤❤❤ Namaste
Thanks Adriene , see you and your furry pillow tomorrow ! ✌🙏
Benji - what a sleepy sweet angel! Had me giggling throughout this practice. Just wonderful!
Every day is a joy. Thank you.
Had almost caught up... then the last three days happen. Brought a lot of angst and shame and exhaustion to the mat today, for curiosity-truth. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is coming to the mat like a major grump today too! Not leaving much better, tbh, but still proud to have showed up.
Adriene,
I just want to thank you so much for all that you do and stand for! *(I am doing your yoga before I head to the polls in New Hampshire to work and hand out ballots and check people off!) Vote when you can!!!
I just wanted to let you know that what I appreciate about the 30 Day Yoga this Jan (2024) is the amount of time each one is. I LOVE that I have time to do these every day and that is what helps me this (JAN) session, is that most are within 20-25 minutes and that is very doable for me....AND so appreciated!! It may even be how I show up each morning knowing I do have time today to do this!!!
I spread the word about YWA to anyone who will listen!! *(I am now a retired RN) but when I was practicing (43 years total), I had my diabetes patients tune into you because you are so welcoming and approachable and doable and they (those who listened), found you wonderful as well! I can only hope they are still hooked like I am!
Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!!!
You are the best! I love your classes! Thank you so much!
i got up early today (finally slept all the way through the night for the first time in ages - I feel like a new parent does when their baby does the same) and celebrated with today's practice. What a great start to the day. Thanks all for being part of this community and helping me celebrate!
I LOVE the little Benji-cuddle between updog and plank! 💜💜 My fave is hugging my dogs when I’m in forward fold and then lifting them up with me when we do flat back or root to rise 💜💜 Thank you for the reminder, not everyone’s “peaceful space” looks the same, but all of them are right for each individual 💜
I just feel sad and have a anxiety today. But I am here and I did it, I move throw whatever comes. Just believe in better days if you have a bad one…love❤️
After an horrible work day, really needed to see cute little Benji sleeping. I look forward to every practise every day. Thank you Adriene!
So sorry you had a horrible day! I hope you’re able to get some good rest and that tomorrow’s better.
@@Vardagaladhiel Thank you so much! Yes today I feel better
It’s one thing to do random yoga most days. I’m finding it’s quite another to go on a yoga journey every day with Adriene and all of you. It’s wonderful, it’s working and it’s so worth every second of my morning!
❤❤❤
Thank you Adriene 🩵
I was a wobbly tree today! Didn't feel super strong but I did accept that this is simply where I am. Thank you everyone for continuing to show up and leaving inspiring comments. Keep it up!
Keep going !!!! With time you’ll be a strong rooted tree😊 I’m working on this also . Sending love and strength to you !!!
@@megancruz2169 Thank you! Much appreciated. Good luck to you too! You got this!
Today was the first day I did in the evening, and after a long day of walking. Though tired, I felt so nourished and appreciative for this time together.
Flow Day 22:01:24✅✨ Truth✨.I love Adriene and Benji💞😊 and this awesome YWA community...You all have kept me sane❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾 This by far has been the best 30 days Yoga journey... it's perfectly timed and just flows from one to the another in 20mins max! I've looked forward to each, every morning, i feel more alive and more energetic and we can revisit month after month. Honestly ,everyone that's still here.well done💕💪🏾, everyone that's playing catch up, or missed some days or weeks, you've got this! we are rooting for you, keep going💪🏾✊🏾🧘🏾♀️❣️ Adriene, i'm eternally grateful for the challenging days and imy entire body, mindset thanks you always. Enjoy! All here globally 🌍 is a blessing. Sending truthful positive vibes to all here or after. Namaste💝🙏🏾🙏🏾
Day 22! Seriously wow! I’ve come to kind of love balancing postures because they demand my full focus which is a difficult thing for me, and I’m usually mentally in a few different -laces at once.
Hi 👋🏿 Vardagalahiel! It's great to meet you. Yes, the balancing postures will assist with improving our focus. I really enjoyed that practice. Have a great day! 🦋❤🦋
This is a testimony: for about three years, I started the 30-day yoga journey but struggled to complete it. Last year was challenging, but I managed to finish the 30-day journey and proceeded to do over 200 days of yoga. This year, showing up on the mat everyday has felt easy and natural, like breathing. If you’ve been struggling to show up consistently everyday, just keep trying. It gets easier. ❤
Well done keeping at it!
Thank you for sharing the loving and trusting relationship that you have with Benji with all of us. The gentle way that you interact with each other is special and beautiful to experience.
Good morning! My essential oils and witch hazel arrived yesterday. Tomorrow I should have a sweet smelling mat for my practice! Thank you for the quick video on making a mat cleaner.
Hi everybody! I Im so glad to be a part of this! I really feel a connection to the world when I practising with you all! I love you Adriene and swwt Benji! Love from a cold an dark Stockholm!❣
Yesterday's practice: My affirmation was "I choose happiness." I have been in a rough place for the last 2 plus weeks. I had decided yesterday to focus on saying positive affirmations instead of negative ones. For example: "I am/will be ok" instead of "I am a mess". Then I did your practice and chose the happiness affirmation. God has sent you to help me and I am so grateful! I just did a HIIT workout with a family member of mine this morning and had so much fun! Your practice followed and helped me stretch and cool down and get ready for my day. I love the balancing poses! Thank you Adriene and cutie Benji!
Definitely creating my sanctuary inward today as I have practiced with 3 kids and 2 cats (fans of the practice and Benji!). And yes I am behind but keeping going... at a much better pace than last year. Very grateful!
Good morning All!💕 I realised during this practice that my truth today is that I am feeling insecure and it was affecting my focus however by the end of practice I was at least gald to remember that I was doing the premier with a bunch of you guys and taking that final breath to close brought me back to community which was comforting. My truth is also that I can experience many emotions at once without attaching to any one too intensely ❤ lots of love to you all
You are not alone in feeling insecure :) today was a bit of an anxious day for me. But yes, we are all practising together, which as you said is very comforting. I really like your truth about experiencing many emotions at once without attaching to any one too intensely. That gives me hope! Thank you for sharing. Sending love ❤
You are not alone ❤
There is so much to love about this practice, especially how Benji wanted to be front and center! The reminder that we don't need perfection to practice is so powerful...as I listen to my 13 and 9 year olds battle it out down the hall.🤣 Namaste everyone!
Tree was so needed today. Wobbly or not. Thank you for this practice
Amazing how this session has flowed sooo smoothly. Adriene classes deserves / must be transcribed and studied ❤
Lion's breath - just what I needed 🦁
Am reaping the benefits of these always well guided practices..namaste
Once again, today was just what I needed. I am so much kinder to myself now when I fall out of tree pose. No longer striving for a perfect version. Thank you. 🙏
Today I showed up after, not knowing this practice was TRUTH themed, telling the truth to a dear friend. I had disrespected a fact of hers that she’d trusted me, I shared it without her consent. This, on her Words, broke her heart. I assumed my mistake and asked for forgiveness. She’ll think about it.
I am not proud of having hurt her. But I recognice the act of truthtelling and of assuming that mistake and of the possibility of fixing. I no longer want to lie, hurt or disrespect. But I did and I dont want to punish myself for it.
I really did not feel it today, but after I started this actually became my favorite day of them all so far. Thank you so much! Lots of love to you all
"I'll see you tomorrow" sounded so lovely and familiar and I felt such a sense of belonging that I am so grateful for! Thank you!
