BEGINNER'S MIND! SUCH A POWERFUL TOOL! This week, find other moments in which you can integrate this practice. Sitting down for breakfast, driving in traffic, putting your babe to bed, greeting a friend or partner. This week, what is one place you will implement this practice?
Thank you for this video Adriene :) This week I will implement this practice in my Physics classes. I have benefited from your video all the way from Mauritius, Africa - stay well.
Feeling a little sad. I did YWA almost every day. Then things started shifting in my life: selling my house, living a year 'on the road' and finally last month I moved into my new home in a new country. This last year I never forgot about my yoga practice but did not do it. Sometimes I tried and did a lesson but I did not do my daily practice. Today I started again with a new promise. Doing the session I felt sad. I lost so much of my flexibility and strength! Trying to tell myself that this is normal and that it is also normal to feel a little sad. Sharing this helps. See you tomorrow!
I think sadness can help us more fully experience joy. I hope you will experience many moments of joy as you begin anew with a daily practice and witness that flexibly and strength return.
I’m feeling the same way. I used to do yoga with Adrien everyday when I was at my lowest mentally. It really helped pull me out of a really dark place in life. Now that I’ve been working and life has been moving faster the last year or two I haven’t much at all and picking it back up has been disappointing because of the difference I feel in my body. I’m trying to take it slow and remind myself that everything starts somewhere and it’s the little things that build up to the bigger results
Hugs, friend. I have experienced similiar. I practiced for years. And then came life. I’ve stepped back in this summer and like you said I was so frustrated with things I can’t do that used to be “easy.” But I found that when I came to the mat again the next day and the same type of poses were there, they felt much more easeful. Life is a dance. You’re doing wonderful. We will ebb and flow in our lives. The times we feel less than are the times our inner voice is calling to us to find joy in THIS body and THIS moment no matter how different it might be from past times in our lives. Wishing you little pockets of joy as you begin again ❤
Hi Adriene. I’m 22 years old and started practicing yoga through your channel 5 months ago. I was suffering from exhaustion, low self esteem and eating disorders. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart - working out has always been a very destructive and manic thing for me, but your videos made me fall 100% in love with yoga- I love to roll out the mat and feel strong and happy from the practice! Your yoga made me recover from exhaustion, love my body, eat what I love,and most of all start to actually love myself. I practice yoga every morning and almost every evening with your videos, and you have completely changed my life forever. I introduced your channel to my mom as well, who I believe have suffered from similar things as myself, and she is also loving the impact you have made on her life. Thank you for being such an inspiration and for saving lives. I wish you all the best in the future and pray that you will never stop posting free yoga! Love, Emma xx
Emma Emma, that is truly beautiful and so strong of you. Recovery from any mental disorder is never easy, and yoga has always immensely helped me in my anxiety, so I know what it may be like for you! Namaste, and have a wonderful day.
theFitty hi, sure, yeah, I have always struggled with being overweight and last year I started to feel the onset of anxiety and depression. I had begun meditating but then a therapist that I went to see for two sessions recommended yoga and the combination of a good yoga practice (here) and some meditation has led me in so many more personal development directions including doing what I love, eating a more healthy diet, and not feeling any of the symptoms that I was before. I am losing weight and getting stronger while also feeling good about myself and being more available to be kind to others. It’s like a regular yoga practice makes you want to fix everything in your life and everything just keeps getting better and better ❤️
now on my second month with Adriene. Today was so much about everyone else. Ever have those days? where everyone seems to need an ear, needs to vent, etc? Today was that day and after getting home late I was just about to quit for the day and eat myself into a fish stick coma when it happened, lol, I was like F that I'm doing a yoga practice! Not only am I proud of myself for overcoming my fish stick addiction I did something positive for ME.. something that brings me back to myself. I consider that a win in life.
Yoga with Adriene has been one of my lockdown highlights. At 64 I did the plank, never having done it before, and I without realising I was doing it!!!! It has given me a lot of confidence, and joy. Thank you so much. Namaste.
Attract day 9🎉thank you, Adriene, for this practice, it's a good reminder to take things back to a beginners mind. It's so easy to get caught up and forget the basics or not paying attention to what needs a little more tlc, my practice today felt so much better for going back to a beginners mindset. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
This was perfectly timed on the August 2023 Calendar! Today I go back to school for staff PD. This summer has been about growth for me, so I'm really focusing on coming to this school year with a beginner's mind. I want to reinvent how I think about my teaching and my students this year. Happy School Year to all of my students and school staff! You've got this!
As I am here from Blossom, my core immediately started to hurt when I got up into plank! Still feeling yesterdays workout very much ..but like this, I was actually able to discover new sensations I hadn't experienced before:))) Thank you Adriene!
I’ve been battling sciatica and growing frustrated with myself. But approaching my body like a beginner, because I am beginning in a new type of body, was a helpful reminder to grow with where I’m at now.
Reminders we need, to break away from patterns which are no longer serving us. Being humble and a beginner's mindset are the only tools you need to break molds and begin afresh every time you feel the need of a reset. Thank you Adriene. This one goes a long way beyond Yoga too! Namaste
I am only a year into yoga so I love coming back to this practice as a reminder to hold on to these foundational tools as I learn new poses and new flows.
❤ ✨in me acknowledges the 🌟 in you, thank you so much for being there Adriene. 🙏 for such sweet awakenings. Wishes of a bright day to all in this wonderful community 🌸
Love the short, around 20 minute yoga practices everyday. Thank you Adrienne. Vi a am 66 years old and have been practicing yoga for about 12 years. Since working from home, I have more time to take care of myself.
👋🏻Come on all beginners! And if you have been away from the mat for a while, begin again. In fact, everyon can begin again here. Meditate day 29. 786 days in a row.
hola blossom fam. really loved this practise today, feels like it’s been ages since i’ve had a proper ah ha moment on the mat. loved this approach to practising but i’m excited to take it off the mat. very used to hearing that we should live like it’s our last day, but how nice to live like it’s our first. sending love 🙏🏻
This practice hits close to home today. I have been doing yoga for about 4 years now, since the start of high school. Today marks the day when I move into my university dorm. New beginnings call for new and renewed intentions! Thank you, Adrienne, for giving me the tools to trek life with a sense of awareness, ease, and love. I am filled with excitement, anxiety, and uncertainty for this new chapter in my life, but I will meet the challenge with a balanced state of mind and a willingness to learn new things. 💕
Intention : meditate and be curious Treat each day as if it is your first day to stay curious and enjoy every moment, just as I did in today's practice, remembering who I was and being aware of who I become today because of my practice is what matters to me and for this I am grateful Thank you Adriene See you tomorrow beautiful souls Namaste 🙏
Something I love about yoga is how humbling it is. I love coming back to this practice every so often to pull myself out of yoga robot mode. Had been feeling some elbow pain lately and today I spent a lot of time focusing on my hands in downward dog and look at that! It felt so much better and more stable! For everyone here for blossom ‘22, cheers! 💜
Awesome yoga practice! Thanks Adriene. This was a much needed practice today, I have quite a bit of back pain, in my lower back today, because of my Fibromyalgia. Doing this practice has helped a little, mainly to stretch everything out, I still have pain I'm my lower back, but it does feel better after doing yoga with you. It's funny during practice, I had an epiphany about some thing, that's been bothering me for ages. So thank you for helping with that too. I'm going to meditate now, and see if I have epiphanies, about anything else. Thanks so much Adriene, you rock. See you tomorrow morning. Namaste yoga Bestie. 🙏🧡
Thank you Adriene for another beautiful practice. Today I will have a beginning mindset with everything I do, it’s a great way to make sure you aren’t stuck in your ways and close minded. Sending love to all the beautiful people practicing today!
Blossom day 10! I was worried that I gave up to easy in yesterdays core practice ... but boy do I feel it in my abs today 😅 I guess that means I met my apropriate edge and that it at least did some good. Getting stronger and more energetic every day. 😄
I struggled a little on the mat today. A loved one was being unkind earlier and it put a black cloud over my head. So I tried to exercise my beginner’s mind to leave that aside for a while and take care of myself. It took practice, but I was able to have some moments of presence on the mat in the later potions of this practice, and it made me feel better. Thanks, Adriene, and Benji. 🙏
blossom day 10 i usually practice on evenings or afternoons, but today i did this in the morning. and it felt different, actually the difference is bigger than i thought. and that really helped me to 'find something new'. i also noticed my abs is a bit sore from yesterday's practice hahah.
@@primrose1831 hehehe I'm not THAT great. I practice yoga only once a day, but not always at the same time of the day. I have been practicing yoga for many years; sometimes I take yoga classes and now YWA at home.
Blossom Day 11 : Skipped ahead to one of my favorite practices to reset and renew my love for yoga. It is simple, clear movements while also allowing a lot of room to improvise and experiment. Every time, it makes me take a step back and see it from the perspective of a person beginning with Yoga. And every time, I discover something new in myself, something to ground myself upon and grow from there and to just not take everything seriously for a change. I hope this practice serves you well too, to begin, or to start again, or to step back and appreciate what we already have in us. Wishing you a good day ahead. Namaste.
beginners mind has really helped me come back home in my body so that I can investigate the shameful, insecure and estranged parts of my own being with kindness. residing in beginners mind is a powerful way to heal myself without judgment and feel compassion to others who I have a hard time understanding.
Meditate day 29. November 2022. Started a new job 2 weeks ago. A new beginning. Always learning Begin, day 8. On my travel mat in a new place - this feels very appropriate. A reminder to look at everything from a beginner’s perspective.
Beginners mind, to listen to teachers instruction and do what she says to do, not knowing what will happen next, no expectations, no anticipitations - something to cultivate! Yes!
It sickens me that 80% of people who practice yoga are women, my fellow men don't know what they're missing yoga is great for people period regardless of gender
On a hard floor today at a friend's place. Switched out Saturday's longer practice for this one. Just what was needed! Balance day 13 (on the 11th). 433 days in a row.
Being pregnant for the first time and feeling my body changeing, the upset stomach and extreme lack of energy did get come in the way of me doing yoga. And then I had a hurdle of not really feeling to do the more powerful yoga sessions that I used to love. So I started to do some cozy yoga videos to get in the groove again and then I saw this video. So perfect! I feel like a beginner with a different body and different needs than before sush a lovely way to embrace that and instead of trying to push myself to continuing in the same tracks as before really listen to what I need now, thank you for the reminder! ❤️
Thank you, Adriene. I’m doing my best to show up on my mat for the month of May. So far its been refreshing and trusting that all will work out. See you tomorrow.🙏
7 days ago, after 7 years of being symptom free from ME/CFS , I relapsed and all the only too familiar and unwelcome fatigue returned. Yoga was a big part of my rehabilitation to health and well living. I remember the first time I attended a yoga class. It was like a coming home to myself and I wept joyful tears throughout the practice. Today when I restarted yoga after 7 days absence I felt the same joy and spiritual connection with self. I have a long journey back to physical and mental health but this yoga practice has set the tone and been my first step back on the road to recovery. Thank you Adriene for providing that support for me today. I fell blessed and full of gratitude 🙏
Glad to be back to this practice, nice afternoon break :) I'm looking forward to a whole new calendar in a couple of days! Meditate Day 29, November 2022 😄
I think it's an important reminder that yoga (and life) is not an achievement, but a process, and that we can learn so much from our beginner mind. Thank you for this practice xx
Hi Adriene this is Suhani from Bangladesh. It’s been months that my husband Arman and I had been doing your 30 days yoga programs. We already feel so energized. We’re in our mid 60s. We simply love doing yoga with you. My grand daughter Sareen who’s 9 years old occasionally joins us. She also loves doing yoga with you. Benji is so cute! A hug to Benji.
Following the calendar for Blossom, and this practice was a perfect active rest from yesterday’s core work. It’s my favorite part of my afternoons ❤️ and my kiddos enjoy it too!
Love coming back to this practice. It always seems like it comes at the right time. Going back to feeling things for the first time. Deepening the sensations of our yoga practice but also to remind us of taking it off the mat as well. Thank you Adriene & team 🤍
Adriene, this was a lovely sequence walk through of refining the basics, slow and steady. As a senior yogi, I always feels rather inflexible in baby cobra and wish I could power up to plank, but you always advise us to adapt to our individuality, so as usual I went through table top to get to downward dog. My triangles need some improving, but it’s all good 😊 see you tomorrow for Day 6 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
Hey Gill, I feel always happy when I find you commenting, knowing that you are still „on bord“ of the YWA crew 🤗💛 Lots of love to you from Germany! CU on the mat 👍😊👍
@@essay7425 lovely to connect with you and share our yoga, feeling positive despite the arthritis, can only be good 😊 returning love from England 🏴 🙏🏻🧘🏼♀️💕
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Meditate 🧘🏾♀️ Day -29 is refreshing and sweet to return to for the 3rd time. Triangle was uncomfortable b/c my lower back hurts, yet I still appreciate a return to the basics. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤❤🦋
Thank you Adriene that was a lovely yoga practice. I've been feeling a bit unwell again today, I've been feeling a bit odd since the big London trip last Thursday. But your yoga is really helping me get through feeling under the weather, you always make me feel better, and brighten my day. Thanks Adriene your the best. I've definitely been Bring yoga into my everyday life on and off the mat since I've been practicing regularly again. So thank you again for helping me to see the world in a slightly different way. Love to you and Benji, Namaste my friend. 🙏
That feeling in the abs after yesterday's core strength practice 🙋🏻♀️😄 So good to keep approaching practice with beginners' mindset, to feel fresh and surprise ourselves 💖🌸
What a cool way to start the day! With a beginners mind! I can remember when I first started yoga. It was a workout just trying to get all the poses right. Which I would have been practicing with you. Probably would have been a lot easier. Thanks Miss Adriene! 😊❤️
This is my 40th straight day of yoga, starting with the 30 days challenge and now into Blossom. This session felt like a helpful reset after I was starting to feel less present the last few days. Thanks for re-inviting me in!
Thanks u so.much for doing this video Adriene just getting back into yoga after having a baby 11months ago, haven't practiced since I got pregnant as the pregnancy was a high risk, so this was so good to start back into it, I know this video is old but thank u
Adriene thank-you for this practice. After 4 months of daily practice, today was the first day I _really_ experienced yoga. The deepest and most profound moment in my life thus far. I've never slipped so deeply into a practice-either meditation or yoga-in my life. Thank-you for your gift to the world, this practice is making the world a better place 🧙🏻♂️🌞🍄🏖💙
Great beginner practice for day 6 Trust, it was a reminder of me a few months ago when I started yoga with Adriene, I suppose I'm still a beginner since each day I learn something new and keep improving and thank you Adriene for reminding us to find a new way to do the things and there shouldn't be a fixed and set way of doing things! I really appreciate the way you help us do the movements and poses without being dispirted! ❤namaste❤
wow, this really made me realize how much i've grown from the first time i did yoga (a little less than a year ago). I kept thinking 'i used to do this pose this way' during this practice and it made me realize my growth. Thank you for this beautiful practice, adriene
I've been doing daily practice now for a year & a half (mostly, missed a few days here & there) this marks the second time I've trusted myself to do the practice 100% with my eyes closed & it was amazing! I really connected with my breath. I felt powerful & strong. Thank you so much Adriene for guiding me on this yoga journey the whole time! ❤
I've been practicing yoga for 20 years at this point, but I had my first child 4 months ago. This practice of beginner's mind had a whole new meaning as I'm coming slowly back to yoga in a changed body and next to someone who has a *true* beginner's mind. Thank you Adriene! You do amazing work
Perfect for today. The 50th anniversary of the Fischer-Spassky match has me thinking about the opportunities that my brother received around chess and that I was denied. I'm declaring that it's never too late to learn and I'm so grateful for the many ways that are available to me to learn in 2022. And I'm grateful for this practice, and the August 2022 theme of Begin, to willingly put myself in the beginner's mindset.
Swapped yesterday (core wakeup) with today for BALANCE Dec 2021. This is such a powerful practice--especially with triangle and with lunge. I explored the modified versions of the poses and found that my learnings and feelings were quite different from the way that I usually do it! Thanks, Adriene!
Bookmarked this into my favorite YWA playlist now 👍😊 I like this one to be reminded that we will always be a student on the Yoga path, no matter if we have just started or having been on the journey for years. Lots of love to all of you out there - it makes me very happy to belong to this lovely community 💛🌈🙏
Beginner's mind has been a place of solace for me in more areas than one in my life. It's a place I go back to when all feels too confusing, I refute what I've learned so far and try to look at the situation through a new perspective.
Oh this was so welcome! This session was an opportunity to focus on sensation, how the body feels. Making necessary tweaks to feel more stable in lunges and the folds. It's the first time I feel I've done halfway lifts properly. Definitely felt the core today I cat cow after yesterday's core ritual. Goodness!
Thanks for this practice in the august playlist. It was just what I needed to remember how to listen to my body and quiet my mind. ❤ you Adriene! Since 2012!
This practice was a reminder of where we [can] stand in life, as a know-it-all or as a beginner and lifelong learner. Seeing this was shared 4 years ago, it brought me back to that time in my life and showed how much has changed! Thank you for bringing this practice into our space to remind us there is always more to learn and bringing it back the basics isn’t the worst thing.
I try to keep my mind in a begginer's mode, observation mode, it's ok if you fail mode, everytime I come to the mat. That really prepares me for life!! Is awesome. Thank you very much for the gift that this channel is ❤️
10 Million+ people have come to join this beautiful community. It's not about the number in and of itself that makes me happy. It's not about popularity, fame, or money that this channel could potentially have. It's nice to know that this many people, in some shape or form are taking a step to take care of themselves and that is a beautiful thing. It's 10M people moving the world toward a more beautiful place.
Begin day 8 Aug. 2022. Non stop rain (needed) here for 2 days, I'm gonna do several yoga with Adriene today! How blessed we all are to have so many to choose from💗🤗🇨🇦
For me this was a simple lesson in a slow flow, no yoga robots 😄 it was kind and thoughtful. There was some freestyley peddling in this sequence, I love that ! As a senior yogi, when it comes to vinyasa flows, and baby cobras, I just cannot power back up to plank, so I just went through knees to downward dog. All good 🙏 see you tomorrow Adriene for Day 7 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
So glad to hear knees before coming into plank! My planks are becoming stronger, but I am no where near being able to push up straight from baby cobras.
BEGINNER'S MIND! SUCH A POWERFUL TOOL!
This week, find other moments in which you can integrate this practice. Sitting down for breakfast, driving in traffic, putting your babe to bed, greeting a friend or partner.
This week, what is one place you will implement this practice?
At work and at home 🏡 👀😜
Is this for every day? ( I don't only have the mind set... I am a beginner XD)
It's awesome to get back to where all started, the commitment and the energy, love to feel that again!
Thank you for this video Adriene :) This week I will implement this practice in my Physics classes. I have benefited from your video all the way from Mauritius, Africa - stay well.
Awesome practice in dialling it back and focusing the mind :) Thank you
In games, we always talk about beginners luck. Maybe that is not luck’s doing, but the power of beginners mind 💡
I really think that's so true 🙏🍀
Wow, what a powerful comment! 👏❤️
Love this idea
That's gold ✨️
Feeling a little sad. I did YWA almost every day. Then things started shifting in my life: selling my house, living a year 'on the road' and finally last month I moved into my new home in a new country. This last year I never forgot about my yoga practice but did not do it. Sometimes I tried and did a lesson but I did not do my daily practice. Today I started again with a new promise. Doing the session I felt sad. I lost so much of my flexibility and strength! Trying to tell myself that this is normal and that it is also normal to feel a little sad. Sharing this helps.

I think sadness can help us more fully experience joy. I hope you will experience many moments of joy as you begin anew with a daily practice and witness that flexibly and strength return.
Keep it up- You've got this. Your flexibility will return with practice.

So great you managed to do that

As I am here from Blossom, my core immediately started to hurt when I got up into plank! Still feeling yesterdays workout very much ..but like this, I was actually able to discover new sensations I hadn't experienced before:))) Thank you Adriene!
Ditto Blossom 🌸 Yogi friend! I felt tightness in the core area from yesterday. Namaste & Ase! 🦋❤🦋
Exactly the same here. Cat Cow has never hurt so much! Great reminder that a little goes a long way. Namaste.
that cat cow tho
Thanks for your sweet answers, I am glad I am not alone with this! Have a good day you all!
My core also said hello!
This practice made me realize: I AM a beginner, in each new present moment that arrives. What a great encouragement to stay present and curious.
This was just what I needed beginning again after foot surgery !! Here’s to my new beginning 😊 thank you ❤
After several months off the mat, this is a great re-introduction. Adriene always presents us with what we need. I’m back in the saddle!
I’ve been battling sciatica and growing frustrated with myself. But approaching my body like a beginner, because I am beginning in a new type of body, was a helpful reminder to grow with where I’m at now.
What a good perspective, and I hope you find some relief.

Thank you Adriene
See you tomorrow beautiful souls
Namaste 🙏
I did a lot of this practice with my eyes closed. It was a great opportunity to turn inward and notice the sensation.
Something I love about yoga is how humbling it is. I love coming back to this practice every so often to pull myself out of yoga robot mode. Had been feeling some elbow pain lately and today I spent a lot of time focusing on my hands in downward dog and look at that! It felt so much better and more stable! For everyone here for blossom ‘22, cheers! 💜
Awesome yoga practice! Thanks Adriene. This was a much needed practice today, I have quite a bit of back pain, in my lower back today, because of my Fibromyalgia. Doing this practice has helped a little, mainly to stretch everything out, I still have pain I'm my lower back, but it does feel better after doing yoga with you. It's funny during practice, I had an epiphany about some thing, that's been bothering me for ages. So thank you for helping with that too. I'm going to meditate now, and see if I have epiphanies, about anything else. Thanks so much Adriene, you rock. See you tomorrow morning. Namaste yoga Bestie. 🙏🧡
Thank you Adriene for another beautiful practice. Today I will have a beginning mindset with everything I do, it’s a great way to make sure you aren’t stuck in your ways and close minded. Sending love to all the beautiful people practicing today!
Blossom Day 10! I like this idea of beginners mind, dropping expectations and being in the moment, here and now. Thank you, Adriene. Namaste y'all.
Blossom day 10!
I was worried that I gave up to easy in yesterdays core practice ... but boy do I feel it in my abs today 😅 I guess that means I met my apropriate edge and that it at least did some good. Getting stronger and more energetic every day. 😄
You're not alone in feeling your abs today from yesterday's practice! Little by little we get stronger, treating our bodies with respect.🙂
Today is my 68th birthday and that was the PERFECT sesh to start the new day and the new year!!! Thank you!!😎💗
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday 🥳
Best wishes for many more 🙏
Happy Birthday💐
Happy birthday to you Margaret ! 😊🌟
I struggled a little on the mat today. A loved one was being unkind earlier and it put a black cloud over my head. So I tried to exercise my beginner’s mind to leave that aside for a while and take care of myself. It took practice, but I was able to have some moments of presence on the mat in the later potions of this practice, and it made me feel better. Thanks, Adriene, and Benji. 🙏
blossom day 10
i usually practice on evenings or afternoons, but today i did this in the morning. and it felt different, actually the difference is bigger than i thought. and that really helped me to 'find something new'. i also noticed my abs is a bit sore from yesterday's practice hahah.
I agree, it feels different. I have practice in the morning, afternoon and just before I go to sleep. Nice to find something new.
@@hebbaskula9883 woah you're great!! i only practice once a day + do another workout, like cardio.
@@primrose1831 hehehe I'm not THAT great. I practice yoga only once a day, but not always at the same time of the day. I have been practicing yoga for many years; sometimes I take yoga classes and now YWA at home.
Blossom Day 11 :
Skipped ahead to one of my favorite practices to reset and renew my love for yoga. It is simple, clear movements while also allowing a lot of room to improvise and experiment. Every time, it makes me take a step back and see it from the perspective of a person beginning with Yoga. And every time, I discover something new in myself, something to ground myself upon and grow from there and to just not take everything seriously for a change.
I hope this practice serves you well too, to begin, or to start again, or to step back and appreciate what we already have in us. Wishing you a good day ahead. Namaste.
I love the sense of wonder and surprise of beginner's mind
beginners mind has really helped me come back home in my body so that I can investigate the shameful, insecure and estranged parts of my own being with kindness. residing in beginners mind is a powerful way to heal myself without judgment and feel compassion to others who I have a hard time understanding.
Meditate day 29. November 2022. Started a new job 2 weeks ago. A new beginning. Always learning
Begin, day 8. On my travel mat in a new place - this feels very appropriate. A reminder to look at everything from a beginner’s perspective.
Beginners mind, to listen to teachers instruction and do what she says to do, not knowing what will happen next, no expectations, no anticipitations - something to cultivate! Yes!
It sickens me that 80% of people who practice yoga are women, my fellow men don't know what they're missing yoga is great for people period regardless of gender
Yes sir I agree! Yoga is for everyone!
Men here. I have been practicing for 14 yrs and it's the best thing I have ever done for my health.
I couldn´t agree more! I got into Yoga because Joe Rogan started talking about the benefits on his podcast.
it sickens me that you think this is worth mentioning
Of age too
Oh I love Beginner’s Mind, everytime it’s repeated !
Such a nice and gentle yoga 🧘♀️, thanks Adrien, my Blossom friends, I hope you have a great day. Namaste 🙏
You too! Namaste :)
On a hard floor today at a friend's place. Switched out Saturday's longer practice for this one. Just what was needed!
Balance day 13 (on the 11th). 433 days in a row.
Being pregnant for the first time and feeling my body changeing, the upset stomach and extreme lack of energy did get come in the way of me doing yoga. And then I had a hurdle of not really feeling to do the more powerful yoga sessions that I used to love. So I started to do some cozy yoga videos to get in the groove again and then I saw this video. So perfect! I feel like a beginner with a different body and different needs than before sush a lovely way to embrace that and instead of trying to push myself to continuing in the same tracks as before really listen to what I need now, thank you for the reminder! ❤️
Day 5 of Cultivate. Practiced this with a heavy heart about the wildfires in Turkey. This made me feel better. Sending everyone love
Thank you Adriene. I have run out of superlatives to describe your classes. I appreciate your giving to the world.
Day 13 All caught up, beautiful way to end the day with beginners mind. Maybe start the day like too!♥️♥️💗💗💗
Thank you, Adriene. I’m doing my best to show up on my mat for the month of May. So far its been refreshing and trusting that all will work out. See you tomorrow.🙏
Me too Joan, I'm going for consistency this month, as I did in January.
Back home and switched this one out for yesterday's. I did this one on Saturday. Don't miss it! It is lovely.
Balance day 13. 435 days in a row.
7 days ago, after 7 years of being symptom free from ME/CFS , I relapsed and all the only too familiar and unwelcome fatigue returned. Yoga was a big part of my rehabilitation to health and well living. I remember the first time I attended a yoga class. It was like a coming home to myself and I wept joyful tears throughout the practice. Today when I restarted yoga after 7 days absence I felt the same joy and spiritual connection with self. I have a long journey back to physical and mental health but this yoga practice has set the tone and been my first step back on the road to recovery. Thank you Adriene for providing that support for me today. I fell blessed and full of gratitude 🙏
I've been loving the May 2021 playlist and this was just what I needed!
Glad to be back to this practice, nice afternoon break :) I'm looking forward to a whole new calendar in a couple of days! Meditate Day 29, November 2022 😄
Attract day 9 ❤❤
I am worthy, good things are flowing to me🤩
Love returning to Beginners mind, let the mind rest and observe💜
I totally zenned out on this before bedtime 🥰 it's the 3rd time I've done this practice and it's now going into my favourites 🥰
I think it's an important reminder that yoga (and life) is not an achievement, but a process, and that we can learn so much from our beginner mind. Thank you for this practice xx
Practice 132/365 of 2021✅ we are always learning something new. We’re all beginners at something. And that’s the beauty of life. ❤️
Hi Adriene this is Suhani from Bangladesh. It’s been months that my husband Arman and I had been doing your 30 days yoga programs. We already feel so energized. We’re in our mid 60s. We simply love doing yoga with you. My grand daughter Sareen who’s 9 years old occasionally joins us. She also loves doing yoga with you. Benji is so cute! A hug to Benji.
Following the calendar for Blossom, and this practice was a perfect active rest from yesterday’s core work. It’s my favorite part of my afternoons ❤️ and my kiddos enjoy it too!
Love coming back to this practice. It always seems like it comes at the right time. Going back to feeling things for the first time. Deepening the sensations of our yoga practice but also to remind us of taking it off the mat as well. Thank you Adriene & team 🤍
Cultivating a Beginner's Mind brings us to the here and now and to experience everything fully and feel alive, curious and be joyful.
yes
Love the beginners mindset, bringing us back to many possibilities......thank you Adriene 🧡🧡❤❤
Adriene, this was a lovely sequence walk through of refining the basics, slow and steady. As a senior yogi, I always feels rather inflexible in baby cobra and wish I could power up to plank, but you always advise us to adapt to our individuality, so as usual I went through table top to get to downward dog. My triangles need some improving, but it’s all good 😊 see you tomorrow for Day 6 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
Hey Gill, I feel always happy when I find you commenting, knowing that you are still „on bord“ of the YWA crew 🤗💛 Lots of love to you from Germany! CU on the mat 👍😊👍
@@essay7425 lovely to connect with you and share our yoga, feeling positive despite the arthritis, can only be good 😊 returning love from England 🏴 🙏🏻🧘🏼♀️💕
Hi Gill. Missing your comments and your presence. I think of you every day and hope you’re doing well.
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Meditate 🧘🏾♀️ Day -29 is refreshing and sweet to return to for the 3rd time. Triangle was uncomfortable b/c my lower back hurts, yet I still appreciate a return to the basics. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤❤🦋
Thank you Adriene that was a lovely yoga practice. I've been feeling a bit unwell again today, I've been feeling a bit odd since the big London trip last Thursday. But your yoga is really helping me get through feeling under the weather, you always make me feel better, and brighten my day. Thanks Adriene your the best. I've definitely been Bring yoga into my everyday life on and off the mat since I've been practicing regularly again. So thank you again for helping me to see the world in a slightly different way. Love to you and Benji, Namaste my friend. 🙏
That feeling in the abs after yesterday's core strength practice 🙋🏻♀️😄 So good to keep approaching practice with beginners' mindset, to feel fresh and surprise ourselves 💖🌸
What a cool way to start the day! With a beginners mind! I can remember when I first started yoga. It was a workout just trying to get all the poses right. Which I would have been practicing with you. Probably would have been a lot easier. Thanks Miss Adriene! 😊❤️
This is my 40th straight day of yoga, starting with the 30 days challenge and now into Blossom. This session felt like a helpful reset after I was starting to feel less present the last few days. Thanks for re-inviting me in!
Day 5 Cultivate, I've always loved beginners practice since I keep learning and I move better and properly with deep breath! Thank you Adriene❤
Well, today I had a yoga partner, Hank my son’s rescue pup from Texas….your voice is so soothing, Adriene, he slept right through it ❤️🙏
Thanks u so.much for doing this video Adriene just getting back into yoga after having a baby 11months ago, haven't practiced since I got pregnant as the pregnancy was a high risk, so this was so good to start back into it, I know this video is old but thank u
Adriene thank-you for this practice. After 4 months of daily practice, today was the first day I _really_ experienced yoga. The deepest and most profound moment in my life thus far. I've never slipped so deeply into a practice-either meditation or yoga-in my life. Thank-you for your gift to the world, this practice is making the world a better place 🧙🏻♂️🌞🍄🏖💙
Missed Day 4 yesterday, but I am trying to practice grace over guilt. Enjoyed Day 5 of Cultivate, see you tomorrow!
This practice always brings peace to my mind!
Here for Blossom Day 10
Day 491
Beginner indeed - first yoga practice in a new flat. Everyhting is new for me haha
Namaste, 🙏
Congrats on the new place!
@@arthurg7894 thank you 💚
Day 13 of Balance. Day 166/365. Thankful for this practice right before bed 🥰
Great beginner practice for day 6 Trust, it was a reminder of me a few months ago when I started yoga with Adriene, I suppose I'm still a beginner since each day I learn something new and keep improving and thank you Adriene for reminding us to find a new way to do the things and there shouldn't be a fixed and set way of doing things! I really appreciate the way you help us do the movements and poses without being dispirted! ❤namaste❤
Thank you Adriene, you rock
We rock everyone, keep it up see you all tomorrow. Namaste 🙏
Thank you Adriene, your practices always serve me well, whichever they are. Namaste x
Beginners mind practice is good to return back to.Thank you. I think it is well placed in yoga, but can be overused elsewhere.
Sweet return to this one!
Blossom day 10. 494 days in a row.
Agreed!
@@trishakingsbury2224 🤗
wow, this really made me realize how much i've grown from the first time i did yoga (a little less than a year ago). I kept thinking 'i used to do this pose this way' during this practice and it made me realize my growth. Thank you for this beautiful practice, adriene
I've been doing daily practice now for a year & a half (mostly, missed a few days here & there) this marks the second time I've trusted myself to do the practice 100% with my eyes closed & it was amazing! I really connected with my breath. I felt powerful & strong. Thank you so much Adriene for guiding me on this yoga journey the whole time! ❤
I've been practicing yoga for 20 years at this point, but I had my first child 4 months ago. This practice of beginner's mind had a whole new meaning as I'm coming slowly back to yoga in a changed body and next to someone who has a *true* beginner's mind. Thank you Adriene! You do amazing work
Perfect for today. The 50th anniversary of the Fischer-Spassky match has me thinking about the opportunities that my brother received around chess and that I was denied. I'm declaring that it's never too late to learn and I'm so grateful for the many ways that are available to me to learn in 2022. And I'm grateful for this practice, and the August 2022 theme of Begin, to willingly put myself in the beginner's mindset.
Swapped yesterday (core wakeup) with today for BALANCE Dec 2021. This is such a powerful practice--especially with triangle and with lunge. I explored the modified versions of the poses and found that my learnings and feelings were quite different from the way that I usually do it! Thanks, Adriene!
Bookmarked this into my favorite YWA playlist now 👍😊 I like this one to be reminded that we will always be a student on the Yoga path, no matter if we have just started or having been on the journey for years. Lots of love to all of you out there - it makes me very happy to belong to this lovely community 💛🌈🙏
Kudos to all yoga darlings around the world. Namaste! 🙆♀️❤
Beginner's mind has been a place of solace for me in more areas than one in my life. It's a place I go back to when all feels too confusing, I refute what I've learned so far and try to look at the situation through a new perspective.
Great thought of life, thank you for sharing it 👍💛
Such a great start to my morning. Thankyou, Adriene xxx
Meditate Day 29🙏
I rock, you rock, we all ROCK ✌️
Oh this was so welcome! This session was an opportunity to focus on sensation, how the body feels. Making necessary tweaks to feel more stable in lunges and the folds. It's the first time I feel I've done halfway lifts properly. Definitely felt the core today I cat cow after yesterday's core ritual. Goodness!
Agree on both points- the beginner's mind to refine and notice, and the sore core from yesterday!
Ive got to say that there is truly always something new or different that I feel when I slow down and focus, in yoga and in life❤️💚
Agreed ❤️
Thanks for this practice in the august playlist. It was just what I needed to remember how to listen to my body and quiet my mind. ❤ you Adriene! Since 2012!
This practice was a reminder of where we [can] stand in life, as a know-it-all or as a beginner and lifelong learner. Seeing this was shared 4 years ago, it brought me back to that time in my life and showed how much has changed! Thank you for bringing this practice into our space to remind us there is always more to learn and bringing it back the basics isn’t the worst thing.
I am practicing outdoors today at a beautiful Ayurvedic spa and wellness centre and I feel super blessed to have you along! Forever grateful!
I try to keep my mind in a begginer's mode, observation mode, it's ok if you fail mode, everytime I come to the mat. That really prepares me for life!! Is awesome. Thank you very much for the gift that this channel is ❤️
10 Million+ people have come to join this beautiful community. It's not about the number in and of itself that makes me happy. It's not about popularity, fame, or money that this channel could potentially have. It's nice to know that this many people, in some shape or form are taking a step to take care of themselves and that is a beautiful thing. It's 10M people moving the world toward a more beautiful place.
Begin day 8 Aug. 2022. Non stop rain (needed) here for 2 days, I'm gonna do several yoga with Adriene today! How blessed we all are to have so many to choose from💗🤗🇨🇦
For me this was a simple lesson in a slow flow, no yoga robots 😄 it was kind and thoughtful. There was some freestyley peddling in this sequence, I love that ! As a senior yogi, when it comes to vinyasa flows, and baby cobras, I just cannot power back up to plank, so I just went through knees to downward dog. All good 🙏 see you tomorrow Adriene for Day 7 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
So glad to hear knees before coming into plank! My planks are becoming stronger, but I am no where near being able to push up straight from baby cobras.
🤖💔
I'll try knees first bc this flow triggers the sciatic I have no idea why? I hope you're having a peaceful day ♥️🙏🏻
@@laurareed2612 I'm certainly no expert, but I find personally find my lower back is trying to do the work. I have very little core strength.
Thank you for sharing this practice. It is exactly what I needed for today.
