    Yoga has the power to bring people together.
    Though our practice we find a spot to share together.
    To move, to breathe, to high five and thrive on common ground.
    So, gather ye, one and all.
    I hope you enjoy this week’s free workshop style practice…
    Let me know how it goes in the comment section down below!

    Adriene, just wanted to share how helpful this video was for me. I have a history of sexual trauma and never realized how much this impacted my pelvic floor and lack of sensation in that area. This video, while I struggled with the movement (a lot) made me feel sensation I haven’t in many years. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and had to share that this video changed my life. I feel like I found a missing puzzle piece to my healing. Thank you endlessly.

    Adriene, I want you to know that your yoga videos have helped me through so much... through everything that dragged me down in life. I look forward to following along to your uploads - it’s part of my routine. I don’t know what I would have done without your videos, I tried to overdose last year, was barely clinging on to life, down to the the wire. I’m 19 and male which i guess is probably strange for someone who watches this content but your yoga saved me and I am so grateful for all you have given me... your kind words, inspiration and uplifting view on life and your beautiful yoga, it has done more than I probably even know to help me. Thank you, for all that it’s worth :)and I want you to know I have made it to a happier place now, and I have friends who support me and I look forward to living again, and your videos have helped me maintain my brighter outlook on life. I Hope you’re doing well and I will be loving every video you continue to put out and I know if I hit rougher times again, I can always just sit down and follow along to some of your videos. 🙏 thank you 😊

    1:00 - Belly breathing
    3:50 - CHEERLEADER POSE with right foot back, twist left, lift pelvic floor

    9:27 - COBBLER’S POSE / BUTTERFLY POSE with pelvic lift
    11:08 - Lie down with knees bent, feet planted. Breathe and lift the pelvic floor. Imagine a diamond shape with an upper and lower triangle. You can try to isolate which triangle you lift by either focusing on the sensation of trying not to pee or trying not to pass gas.
    15:00 - Lift the lower back on inhale, lower your back and lift pelvic floor on the exhale
    16:14 - BRIDGE POSE - Lift hips up, chest to chin and chin to sky. Release. Repeat.
    17:34 - Put feet together. Interlace fingers behind the head. Relax everything
    18:06 - COBBLER BRIDGES - Keep hands where they are. Draw knees together. Lift pelvic floor. Release legs back down. Draw knees together, lift pelvic floor, lift hips, release legs back down. Repeat 2 more times.
    19:26 - If you want a little more, lift the shins, spread legs open, lift pelvic floor as you bring legs together. Repeat. Find the variation that suits you today.
    21:24 - SUPINE TWIST - Hug the knees to the chest. Hold your right knee to your chest, send your left leg out. Take your right knee to your left side. Open your right arm. Turn onto your right ear. On your exhale, lift your pelvic floor.
    22:28 - Repeat switching sides
    23:34 - Return to center. Rock the spine.
    23:54 - FROGGY POSE with heels lifted and lift the pelvic floor,
    25:08 - MALASANA - If deep yogic squat is in your practice, you can lower the heels and do that.
    25:18 - PUPPY POSE - If neither pose is available to you, you can come into puppy pose
    25:45 - Pick your variation. Breathe deep, hear your breath, lift the pelvic floor
    26:15 - HOVERING TABLE - Come to all fours. Bring the knees under the hips, wrists under the shoulders, curl the toes under, press away from your yoga mat. Inhale, exhale and lift the pelvic floor. Maybe hover the knees..
    27:07 - CHILD’S POSE / BALASANA - Lower, join the knees, lower the hips, send fingers down to your toes, forehead to the earth. Relax and soften everything.
    27:40 - DOWNWARD FACING DOG plus lift the pelvic floor on each exhale
    29:42 - Lie on your back, put your hands on your lower belly, lift the knees just over the hips, engage your lower back and lift your pelvic floor. Lower toes down and take a moment to fully relax. Repeat. Close your eyes.
    30:20 - If that is too much for you today, do one leg at a time. Don’t go too fast
    32:31 - Rock as many times as feels awesome for you.
    32:45 - BREATH OF FIRE / KAPALABHATI PRANAYAMA - Sit up tall. Hands on the lower belly. Breathe deep, directional breath down. Lift the pelvis as you breathe out. Now speed up with short, sharp, repeated exhales.
    36:02 - Take deep breaths. Soften and relax everything.
    36:49 - SHAVASANA - Lie on your back. Let everything soften and relax. Close your eyes. Let your weight melt into the earth. Give thanks for your journey, for this practice. Take what you need and leave behind anything you don't need.
    38:12 - From my heart to yours, draw the palms together. Thumbs to third eye. Namaste.

    As a woman who had two children I found yoga to be instrumental to strengthening my pelvic muscles. I had trouble getting the most out of kegel exercises, I would forget or not do them correctly. Yoga helps me visualize the muscles and actually feel the strength of my abdominals. I'm adding this routine to my favorites.

    Probably the most under-addressed, highly important area of the body. Thank you for taking the time to create this!! I have a lot of awareness of this area but I still struggle with it ... I have hypermobility affecting the positioning of my sacrum and pelvis, which has led to a litany of problems that I can't afford to treat. So doing a practice like this is extra important for me, even just to keep those muscles as active as possible and hope that it helps. Thank you, Adriene!! I love you!! Namaste

    Some of this practice went over my head. Particularly with the fire breathe. I have a hard time focusing on when to breathe out and when to breathe in when it came to the pelvic lifts. Learning to not beat myself up when I don't master something right away. This is a journey, and I intend to be patient and loving toward myself as I grow and develop more in my practice. Thank you again Adriene for putting together this build playlist.

    Here for the BUILD calendar session. Haven't been able to do every one this month, but def glad I got it in today! I saw 38 min and was expecting to sweat it out crazy, but this took me by surprise. This is why some people make fun of yoga, but maaaan, you don't know what you DON'T KNOW until you've tried it! Going inside yourself, challenging yourself to focus (calmly) on your breathing and targeting a place inside your body - it was a great experience for me! As I'm typing this now, I can feel that my abdominal and pelvic areas were worked on from the inside. And Adrienne, one way you know she's Master level is even though this is a video, she seems to always know when your mind is wandering off and she makes a gentle, funny comment to get your head back into it! I trip out every time like, damn, how did she know???!!! LOL!!!

    I have been watching your videos on the pelvic floor and lower back for a couple weeks now, and it has been seriously helpful in my treatment for vaginismus. It's not very well talked about, but it's basically an involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor when it comes to vaginal insertion of anything, including tampons, and the attempt to do so is very painful. So doing these videos have really helped me loosen up, and made dilating a much easier experience and my progression noticeable. Thank you!

    Spot on practise, as always!
    About dogs loving breath of fire: Recently, I have done a lot of research and reading about assistance and support dogs and basically, in their training their natural instincts are simply brought out more. Hence, I imagine the fast breathing would make some dogs 'wonder' if their owner was in distress, so they come close to you to check the smell of your breath to make sure you're okay. Any chemical imbalance (low blood sugar, an oncoming seizure or other physical distress) I imagine they would be able to detect because it's different from the usual smell.
    Benji came up to you, smelled your breath and then laid down behind you. He might have still been a little unsure of what do as he was yawning. Mother nature gave us impressive friends, didn't she?

    Thank you for this. I'm just recently acknowledging that the pelvic floor engagement is not a death grip bicep type squeeze. This practice helps me visualize, and use my breath in a suka manner rather than muscle death. The idea of the hammock brings awareness. Thank you for this workshop 😊🐶🦋

    as a fellow actress, i am endlessly inspired by you. i'm currently pursuing my degree and reading 'and then, you act' for the first time! life-changing stuff! pursuing the theatre is a journey of self-love and self-knowledge. i feel so strongly connected to the way you choose to practice and live your life. i personally struggle with bipolar disorder, ptsd, anxiety, sexual trauma and other difficult mental issues that have been living in my body for years, but your videos give me the tools to become a better artist and human being. i cannot thank you enough for the gift of your channel. namaste.

    this was eyeopening for me, I connected in a whole new level to my pelvic floor and could feel a whole new sense of space in my body, in my breath, in my brain and my experience. Thank you Adrienne for all. Love leads the way.
    There is just an infine amount of ways we can get to know our bodies, our selfes and eatch an every little creation. I am so grateful and even more excited.

  • @gillsmith6740
    @gillsmith6740 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I think this is a really powerful practice for everyone but especially for us senior yogis. It really was a full body workout for me and attention to detail and breath was essential. I was a little uncertain whether I should be squeezing on the breath in or on the breath out 🤔 I wonder if other yogis wondered this too ? Maybe it was just me but I worried that this mattered, I’m sure it did. See you tomorrow on the mat for some more strength building 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💞

    Wow! Game-changer! Through physical therapy, I've already learned to Kegel when I lift things, sneeze, etc, but I had never noticed the connection with being able to twist farther. It really does create space I didn't know I had. Love this video, and it's going to inform how I do all your videos from now on! My back was hurting when I started this today, and now it's not! Love you so much, Adriene!!

It becomes easier learning to use these vital muscles and strengthening the core at the same time, I loved that ! Fun as always Adriene, see you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💞

    Hello, hello, happy Sunday. Today is 256 yogas this year ! This is the first time I’ve been committed to myself for such a long period of time. Self-betrayal was a common theme in my life. I’ve endured allot of trauma in my life but yoga has helped me calm my nervous system & ground into myself. I truly feel like a different person since I began this journey. Adrienne will say, the way you do it on the mat is how you do it in life. I’ve really noticed that in my life and I’ve been able to bring moving slower on the mat into my day to day. Integrating! I love yoga, I love this community. I am grateful I’ve found this practice. I’m grateful to connect with myself daily. Thank you for offering this channel Adrienne.

    Yoga for the Pelvic Floor and the Hips and Lower Back videos are my absolute favourite all time YWA videos (which is akin to naming a favourite child or pet!) . I've done Pelvic Floor twice now and felt an improvement. I will have to make time to do this 38 minuter on the regular. Love, love, love this and YWA. Everything about it makes me feel better.

    This was wonderful. I recently had an abdominal hysterectomy and was left with virtually no instruction as to how to recover effectively. I’ve been trying to get back into Hatha yoga but it felt like a bit more than my body can handle right now. This was perfect for learning how to isolate and feel the pelvic floor muscles in a way I never have before. I can tell it will be healing for my surgery recovery. Thank you so much!
