This week’s offering will likely speak to you. Each and every person will find themselves staring into the face of insecurity and fear, it is a part of life. The trouble is that if we are not careful, we can easily get into the habit of feeding insecurities and thoughts born out of fear. When your fear goes away, the divine takes over. ENJOY!
There needs to be a running total of all the people in the world Adriene has saved. I run to my mat with feelings of anxiety and hopelessness and found profound healing. I'm sure I am not the only one. :) How many people chose life because of the gentle approach to life that Yoga With Adriene teaches?
Me.💙 soon i ll be homeless all with my five cats and doggy. Everyday at the end of ywa i cry. Good healing tears. And i m sure that is one part of that somethong which keeps me going . Namaste
Me. Life was great on paper but because of anxiety I felt like a failure and couldn't appreciate it, which just made me feel like more of a failure. She taught me self love, and the value of slowing down /being silent with myself. Thank you from Japan ❤️❤️
"You are not alone". We are never alone on our mats with Adriene and this beautiful community. Turn Nov 24. 175 of us practicing together love to you all ❤🧘♀️ 🙏
Started the video with 905,200 views and ended with 905,579 views. Hello to the 380 darlings i practiced with around the world. We got this! We are strong! Thank you Adrienne for you and your yoga passion. It really is a big help around this time of the pandemic. Namaste! ❤
Wow, this is such a nice thing to do. When Adriene talked about not being alone during practice I thought to myself "oh well, but this vid is pretty old, so I probably am the only person doing this session right now.". After reading your comment I checked and the view count actually went up by 4. :D
I've practiced yoga daily for about a year and a half, which helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety caused by ptsd. I somehow fell of the yoga bandwagon, stopped practicing consistently and haven't done yoga for almost 2 months now, consistently getting more symptoms back and feeling worse. This was my first practice back after seeing it advertised in the FWFG newsletter and I started crying as soon as Adriene said "You're not alone". I can't emphasize enough how much yoga helps me. A 23 minute practice helped me ground and get back into my body for what feels like the first time in weeks. I hope this enables me to get back into daily practice. Thank you for everything, Adriene. You are an actual hero.
I am here too and couldn’t keep the side planks going but I told myself 6 months ago you couldn’t do one so the fact you can try and get to each side multiple times is a big improvement.
Turn Day 19 🙏 November 19th, 2024 I feel strong & capable. Fully able to let go of what I can't control. Now the challenge ... taking that attitude off the mat 🙏
Today, I’m arriving at the yoga mat right after having to deal with some issues at work. At the beginning my mind kept wandering off back to the problem, but slowly the practice and breath kept reminding me to bring it back to the present moment. How important is Yoga for self care, self love, mental health! Energy thieves are all around us and we must learn to protect our minds, detach and let go. “Bring it back to center” sometimes is also metaphorical. Namaste to all. 💛
I feel the same way when I step on the mat after the work day. It takes time to come back to the present moment instead of obsessing about the work issue. But I have observed, on more than one occasion, that after the recentering done in the yoga practice, my mind feels refreshed and I am able to look at the same problem with a new perspective and find a solution to it as well!
You and Benji have this inflexible 61 year old woman tuning in every single morning since January 1, 2021. Thank you, thank you! I can't afford to take classes and your videos are so AWESOME! So thankful to you. I see myself getting more flexible each time . . . although I am still unable to sit comfortably in a cross sit. Keep up your awesomeness Adriene!
I was starting to feel anxious and insecure about myself. Hearing how other people are getting into their careers and future is setting in for them, while I started to feel lost. I only have a degree in English Arts and I’m struggling to find a suitable career for myself. I started feeling insecure and comparing my life to others even tho I always tell people that it doesn’t matter what age you are or where you are in life, things will come to you. Everyone is on a different chapter in their lives. I really needed this Yoga session. Tears fell on my mat but i stayed strong and told myself “I got this”. I feel less anxious and insecure and I thank Adriene and yoga for that. Tomorrow is a new day.
I resonate with a number of the comments below. I am coming off the mat at a different place then where I started. This was perfect for today. Thank you, Adriene FWFG community!
“Notice what you feel” *ugh I don’t wanna do this* “Commit to this practice” *merrr ok fine* “I am strong” *I am strong* “Let your breath do what it wants” *starts crying (didn’t know that was in there)* “Lots of love in, lots of love out” *starts Actually Breathing again* Thank you, Adriene. I’m sending you (and Benji) love.
When we are insecure we limit possibilities for growth and turn into folks who are just trying to survive. this really hit differently today, thank you for holding space for everyone here who needed it.
I haven't been to an in-person yoga class in forever but seeing all of your familiar names here is like walking into a room with friendly faces. Didn't really pause and sort comments by new until a few days ago and am so glad I did You're all so kind and positive, I'm deeply grateful. 🌼🌸✨ Today's practice made me call out to my brother and show how I finally had good form in planks, I was so proud lol- definitely overcoming insecurities slowly :)
Oh man, the smile on my face. Find what feels good, baby! I got so much relief from “everything is as it should be” and felt so powerful with “I’ve got this”. Really happy I did this practice today.
I am currently on vacation at a very small Greek island having very low internet connection. But I finally managed to connect and practice and I am now feeling grateful and happy. Sun is shining over the Agean Sea, wind is blowing through my open window, life is great, isn’t it? Namaste people all around the world 🙏🏼
I’m commenting this to remember this moment by, and to come back to it later as I’m sure this video will come into circulation another month. As I write this I am going through the roughest patch I’ve ever experienced. My anxiety and panic disorder is at an all time high, and I had to go to the hospital because of it. I picked up yoga again to help regulate my breathing and ground myself, and I’m finding each day to be easier than the last, even if just a little bit. Of course I have days where all I can do is wake up, lie around and hope I have the energy to at the very least feed myself. But more and more I’m finding myself looking forward to this time with my yoga mat, Adrienne, all the kind folk in this community, and most importantly myself. I’m learning to be present and okay with myself. And be okay with waking up every morning. This is something I’ve failed to do for the last 10 years. Thank you. I hope in a couple months or whenever this video is in another playlist I find this comment and remember how far I’ve come and the journey I have ahead.
You got this!! Dark moments come and go, and I can already see the light shining into your life! Keep going! I'm sending you lots of hugs and positive energy!!🥰❤️
Blossom day 11 and still going strong! "fearful thoughts are a part of life." This sentence really spoke to me. I really needed this today, thanks Adriene.
I am pleased I returned to the calendar as although this was quite a challenge with my threatening arthritis, I met my edge along the way to build my strength. Flamingo dog got me trembling but I breathed through and I used half planks to save my arms. So all good today. Thinking of your Mom Adriene, I hope she’s doing well and getting back to ‘everything is as it should be’ 🙏🌺💕 see you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
I thought if you can do it with your threatening arthritis, I can do it with my threatening migraine. I’m glad I did. I feel less tension in my neck. I definitely used my knees for the planks stopped at any time I felt tension developing. It’s so hard to trust that “everything is as it should be” when things are not going well. That’s something I need to work on trusting I guess. Hope you stay as pain free as possible today 💕💕💕
I loved that you went with it today, adjusted to be safe and felt better. Yes 😃👍 I used my knees too in those side planks and loved the rest in extended child’s pose. But this afternoon I strained my right arm in the garden …. so feeling 😳🥺 now I’ve got to fix it somehow 🤔 let’s hope it’s short lived 🤞sending good vibes to shoo away those migraine demons 👿👿💨😊💕🧘🏼♀️
As I write this today, I feel so emotional. It is good, that I feel the tears rising as I write, because for so long I have suppressed my emotions. It was born out of fear, and trauma of my past. But now I am finally facing it, and it does feel good to stair fear down, and say, NO! I will not let you rule my life, I will not let the past have a seat at this table. Thank you so much Adriene, for not only this yoga practice today, that has really spoken to me right when I need it, (I don't know how you always know what I need, and when I need it. You must be magic.) But also for all the wonderful yoga practices, and support every day. You are a true legend, and a real hero. Lots of love to you, and sweet Benji. ❤ I can't wait for our yoga practice tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
I came to my mat feeling sluggish, having elevated BP the past days and moved out of it energized and strong. Thank you Adriene for all the help. The Pranayama techniques I learned from you helped me through yesterday without being rushed to the ER. From the bottom of my heart and my spirit, Namaste 🙏
I am here as a continuation of 2021 "Breathe" 30 day challenge. And I found this session to be superhelpful in these dark days of winter ,third lockdown for the pandemic, - thank you
The right video always shows up at the right time. I've been practicing with you for over 20 years and I don't know if I've ever told you how much I appreciate all of you and what you offer. Your voice has become the voice of my best friend that I hang out with in the mornings. I'm grateful, I am strong and part of me being strong is practicing yoga with you. Thank you. Much love.
At the end of work today I was dealing with a situation that I have never encountered before and was feeling the weight of bringing the thoughts of my day home with me. When I opened up the Blossom calendar to do my daily practice, at first I wasn’t thrilled about the title of this practice. I thought, that’s not for me today and I looked to see if there were any others on the calendar that felt more appropriate. But then, after of moment of reflection, I realized I was indeed feeling insecure about how I responded to and dealt with the issues at work. I realized that my racing thoughts were a narrative of self doubt and insecurity… so indeed, this was the perfect practice for today. I am feeling like I’ve been able to relax my nervous system a bit and quiet the internal monologue a tad. Thank you, Adriene 🙏🏼And by the way, the exhale with the “p” sound was a game changer for me! Wow! Who knew?! Namaste friends 💗
Turn - Day 19. Today is the day I jump back in. Broke my ankle in March and haven't practiced since. It's been a slippery slope this past 8 months. But just knowing that Adriene is there, nomatter what, is such a boost. Turn downloaded. Let's go! Thanks Adriene ❤
Welcome back 🙏 Physical injuries can spiral into darkness when our movement is restricted 🙏 take it easy & as Adriene says 'move like you love yourself ' 💛
I actually felt upset when Adriene said 'you are loved' and 'you're not alone'.. because I don't feel this is true for me. But... then I immediately wondered if anyone else out there feels alone and unloved. None of us deserve to feel that way. So I dedicated my practice to you - whoever you are. I'm with you ❤ And at the end of the practice I looked up and saw my two cats, curled up close to me... so it seems I'm loved and not alone after all... 🥰 Thank you Adriene for always challenging my body and my thoughts.
when I repeated the phrase "I got this!!" I could not stop my tears from rolling out of my eyes. I need that strength right now to pick my self up and push forward. I GOT THIS!!!
Day 11 of Blossom 🌸 My goodness I did not know I needed this practice today. I have really noticed how connected to my breath and the Earth I was until today. I can feel my inner strength improving and my body loving these static holds. 👏🥰 Thank you for these video's and practices Adriene! You're a blessing! 💖
My life has been intensely busy and emotionally demanding of late. After an absence of several months I landed back on the mat today and now feel I have got back in touch with the peace and calm that lies within. Thank you Adriene. x
My heart is so heavy - I broke down last night in so much pain. This morning, what a beautiful alignment that this is the practice on the calendar. A practice filled with opportunities to remind myself I'll be okay, I got this. So grateful for the lightness I found during this short practice.
This practice was beautiful, it was so pure. Saying "I got this" made me cry and I realized I had forgotten to say these words to myself for a while. It was a beautiful reminder that WE ALL GOT THIS. Thank you Adriene, thank you for healing us.
Woke up today with my nervous system being all over the place bc I have a lot of things going on and my first thought was “I need yoga and meditation”. Thank you for providing these tools for everyone for free 🙏🏻
It's my birthday! I'm not allowed to host a party but I ate cake with my boyfriend, saw my neighbour, and 2 close friends came by. All in social distances and outside. 😊 ♥️ I'm grateful that I hit level 41!! Have a great day! 😘
I have been reading in the comments recently how people are grateful for their bodies.... i thought about this and realised that i used to see life as a drugery and my body as a burden...but during the last 3 years i changed so much that i actually accept and embrace my body and i am honored and excited where it leads me.🤸♂️ Namaste
It always catches me off guard to cry after the mantra, "I am strong" but little by little as I show up to my mat and tune in, I am getting stronger. Each day I show up I show strength to keep going. With each practice I push my body and gain physical strength. I am strong.
When I first started 226 days ago I am strong was just something I said to try convince myself. Now I say it because I know I AM STRONG! Stick with it 🥰
How am I feeling? Truthfully I cried the entire time. I'm not really sure why. It was the first time in a very long time that I did yoga. My tears were a big release for me. The stretching and poses helped ease my body a bit but when it came time for breathing love in I couldn't help but feel like I was suffocating. And when it came time to breathe love out, it was like a flood gate was opened up. It's made me realise that I have a lot of love to give to this world but I feel that the world as a whole doesn't offer much back. I'm afraid of this world and saddened by what it has become. My biggest insecurities lie with the dark side of humanity (and I'll be honest, some of my fears can be attributed to shark week too). On a positive note, with the help of this video, I am now at least aware of where this insecurity and anxiety is coming from and can take the first steps in going through it, opening up and gaining clarity in order to face it. Thank You.
Here for Spark Day 11 July '22✅😀💪🏾🍀🌸 ☀️🌅🔥🌅☀️This is my favourite as the hot day cools off here🧘🏾♀️💞💞😌...I really love how slow and calming this felt..I'm even getting stronger with the planks and your guiding soothing voice. Thank you Adriene.. and this lovely Yoga comm. We are not alone. Nice evening to all you yogi buddies😊 Namaste 🙏🏾💚💚
I had a cry at the beginning of the practice during the check-in but now I can slowly feel my power - thank you Adriene for taking yoga practice to another dimmension!
Blessed Beloved Blossom 🌸 Yogis! This practice was both challenging and rewarding which directly correlates with the difficult tasks of a 5 week Certification class I am enrolled in. My body appreciates this experience. Now, I'm ready for meditation. 🧘🏾♀️ Namaste & Ase! 🦋❤🦋
This is my 3rd month of doing yoga everyday and I love how strong my body is becoming. I did this video last year and struggled thru the side planks, this time I felt so strong in the pose and so aligned, yes I was breathing deeply at the finish but it felt so good. I can’t thank you enough Adriene for the inspiration to get on my mat everyday. There are no words for the love you show us 🙏❤️✌️
Thank you Adriene! Does anybody else say “I am strong” anytime you do a plank? I noticed I say it all the time now even during other workouts. ☺️Namaste.🙏🏽❤️💚💛🙏🏽
Well who else came out of that practice with a massive smile and "thank goodness" that Adriene is there for us all. Hope you all are having a great day and keep going. Namaste 🙏
Starting with Move, I'm still here with the Blossommers. Day 41. I am so proud of myself and my people here. It was my first time to do completely as you did on the mat, Adriene. Even in the planks! It's happening and I am surprised of myself and my body every day. I am so happy. I am strong, we are strong. Namaste!
I beat insecurities by telling myself that I am uniquely created, I may not fit into everything but I am perfectly molded to do what's from within. Great practice today everyone Thank you for the beautiful guidance Adriene, be blessed Namaste 🙏
powerful, as always, Adriene keeps it real and authentic. Accessible. Yesterday helped my old shepherd girl die peacefully and buried her in the yard - i needed this today to breath and yes a few tears during the spinal twist. Thank you.
My beautiful kitty man joined me on the mat this morning. He usually watches from afar. Today is the day we say good-bye to him, and thankfully, today is a good day for him. We walked in the morning dew, let him eat some grass, and then I rolled out the mat. Thank you for helping me feel my strength today. I badly need it. When you said things are exactly as they should be, as much as it hurt, I felt that truth. Death is also a part of life, and a peaceful death is a gift.
I nearly didn't do today's yoga because I was feeling completely exhausted and a bit overwhelmed. I'm glad I went ahead and tried, as it is exactly what I needed to feel better. Thank you!
Adriene has a gift for placing a practice on a day that I didn't know I needed until I showed up on my mat. Even though there was a little more heat in this practice I chose to do before bed, I felt lighter, more calm afterwards, which feels good, empowering. Thank you, Adriene for helping me find what feels good. You're my hero. Namaste 🙏🏻.
This week’s offering will likely speak to you.
Each and every person will find themselves staring into the face of insecurity and fear, it is a part of life.
The trouble is that if we are not careful, we can easily get into the habit of feeding insecurities and thoughts born out of fear.
When your fear goes away, the divine takes over.
ENJOY!
Yoga With Adriene my body is my temple and yoga the prayer
Thank you so much for this exercise. It came right on time!
Aaaahhhh...that was heavenly
Oh yeah....
Hi adriene how r u i love your viedo

Right there with you!

"Breathe like you love yourself", Who is here from Breath and could actually do all these side planks? I couldn't believe how much stronger I got
I am and the sides seem much more fluid today. So much ease.
Agreed 👍🏼
Yes!! Although I'm certainly whispering "I AM STRONG" pretty frequently so I don't give up lol
I am too, and I can't believe that I can do side planks, I would always just do child's pose and not even try, but now "I got this!"
@@williamb7275 ❤️💪🏻
I love that Yoga For Insecurity is such a badass practice!
Spark Day 11 🙏
🎶 I feel good now like I knew that I would now 🎶
🙏 Blessings to YWA community 💛

We got this
Everything is as it should be

Namaste

Don't know how to say it but I feel like I am "hugging" my yoga practice fully recently. It's awesome. It's peaceful.
well said
I think that's the perfect way to say it. 💖

Loved this one! Can feel how strong my body is becoming. Thankyou so much, Adriene xxx
This practice makes today feel a little less dark.

Great that you got on the mat, hope to see you in future days🥰
The security of my new yoga mat, Adriene's sweet, encouraging murmurings, building strength from the ground up. Solid and strong. Grateful.
We got it!!!💪
Who’s here for BRIDGE day 8? Let’s go!!🧘🏼♀️💗
I am here too and couldn’t keep the side planks going but I told myself 6 months ago you couldn’t do one so the fact you can try and get to each side multiple times is a big improvement.

"You are not alone." A beautiful reminder, especially now. Sending lots of love to everyone who needs it. ❤️🙏🏻

That's so beautifully expressed! I notice I made a similar comment about work 9 months ago. I love that Bring it Back to Center- thanks.

I was starting to feel anxious and insecure about myself. Hearing how other people are getting into their careers and future is setting in for them, while I started to feel lost.

Sending love! I am right there with you, feeling very similar things. Very thankful for this practice!
Your words are wise! I’ve been there before. The path will unfold as you follow your inner wisdom.
You got this!
Just what I needed as I was feeling tired and nervous. Bye everyone. See you tomorrow Luna Bear and Ju Lin!
I hope you’re feeling better now! :)
@ Hello, Cara Noé! Nice to see you again!
I'm feeling better. I will cook mussels à la marinière now for my lunch!

Definitely took a moment to shout and not whisper I GOT THIS!! 😂😁

Everything truly IS as it should be - especially coming to the mat daily with Adriene & the YWA Community 💜
Day 19 complete I feel OK after the practice today. 11/19/2024
I was whispering "I love You Adriene" then You said "I love You". Love You Adriene 💖
I haven't been to an in-person yoga class in forever but seeing all of your familiar names here is like walking into a room with friendly faces.
Didn't really pause and sort comments by new until a few days ago and am so glad I did
You're all so kind and positive, I'm deeply grateful. 🌼🌸✨
Today's practice made me call out to my brother and show how I finally had good form in planks, I was so proud lol- definitely overcoming insecurities slowly :)
Im strong ….healing through my body 😚
TRUST day 5 anyone else? ❤️
Oh man, the smile on my face. Find what feels good, baby! I got so much relief from “everything is as it should be” and felt so powerful with “I’ve got this”. Really happy I did this practice today.
I am currently on vacation at a very small Greek island having very low internet connection.
But I finally managed to connect and practice and I am now feeling grateful and happy.
Sun is shining over the Agean Sea, wind is blowing through my open window, life is great, isn’t it?

Blossom day 11 and still going strong! "fearful thoughts are a part of life." This sentence really spoke to me. I really needed this today, thanks Adriene.

Same.
back again for cultivate 😌
Nice to do this practice again. "I am strong" and being a part of YWA Community we are never alone 💜🙏
As I write this today, I feel so emotional. It is good, that I feel the tears rising as I write, because for so long I have suppressed my emotions. It was born out of fear, and trauma of my past. But now I am finally facing it, and it does feel good to stair fear down, and say, NO! I will not let you rule my life, I will not let the past have a seat at this table. Thank you so much Adriene, for not only this yoga practice today, that has really spoken to me right when I need it, (I don't know how you always know what I need, and when I need it. You must be magic.) But also for all the wonderful yoga practices, and support every day. You are a true legend, and a real hero. Lots of love to you, and sweet Benji. ❤ I can't wait for our yoga practice tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
I came to my mat feeling sluggish, having elevated BP the past days and moved out of it energized and strong. Thank you Adriene for all the help. The Pranayama techniques I learned from you helped me through yesterday without being rushed to the ER. From the bottom of my heart and my spirit, Namaste 🙏
Greetings Rose! Are you following the 30 day Blossom 🌸 Journey? I definitely appreciate this practice. This is day 11 of the Journey. Namaste & Ase!
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 Hello there! Yes, I am following the Blossom Calendar. Living in an earlier Time Zone though. Namaste 🙏
@@nuvieenrose2743 Where are you located? I'm in EST zone in the USA.
I cried my way though this practice but “I got this”. This too shall pass...
Same here, everything does eventually pass, trying to stay hopeful and present. I hope it worked for you too
You do got it !! Much love !!
I came here because I’ve been struggling with self love. I cried while doing this flow today. Thank you for sharing
💜
I am here as a continuation of 2021 "Breathe" 30 day challenge. And I found this session to be superhelpful in these dark days of winter ,third lockdown for the pandemic, - thank you
The right video always shows up at the right time. I've been practicing with you for over 20 years and I don't know if I've ever told you how much I appreciate all of you and what you offer. Your voice has become the voice of my best friend that I hang out with in the mornings. I'm grateful, I am strong and part of me being strong is practicing yoga with you. Thank you. Much love.
Goodmorning to everyone 🤗
I'm enjoying the BRIDGE playlist a lot. And hopefully others can feel the same.
Lots of love❤🙏
I'm enjoying the playlist so much!
I guess that seeing your own strength is the best antidote for insecurity. Here to blossom on 11.02.2022.
Side planks are getting easier. Thank you, Adriene!
Turn day 19🎉 thank you, Adriene, I needed this practice today. 💖🙏🏻🧘🏼♀️
Thank you Adrienne! I woke extremely anxious today as I’m scheduled for a repeat mammogram. I feel calm and relaxed now. “I got this!” 😉
At the end of work today I was dealing with a situation that I have never encountered before and was feeling the weight of bringing the thoughts of my day home with me. When I opened up the Blossom calendar to do my daily practice, at first I wasn’t thrilled about the title of this practice. I thought, that’s not for me today and I looked to see if there were any others on the calendar that felt more appropriate. But then, after of moment of reflection, I realized I was indeed feeling insecure about how I responded to and dealt with the issues at work. I realized that my racing thoughts were a narrative of self doubt and insecurity… so indeed, this was the perfect practice for today. I am feeling like I’ve been able to relax my nervous system a bit and quiet the internal monologue a tad. Thank you, Adriene 🙏🏼And by the way, the exhale with the “p” sound was a game changer for me! Wow! Who knew?! Namaste friends 💗
Turn - Day 19. Today is the day I jump back in. Broke my ankle in March and haven't practiced since. It's been a slippery slope this past 8 months. But just knowing that Adriene is there, nomatter what, is such a boost. Turn downloaded. Let's go! Thanks Adriene ❤
Welcome back 🙏
Physical injuries can spiral into darkness when our movement is restricted 🙏 take it easy & as Adriene says 'move like you love yourself ' 💛
I actually felt upset when Adriene said 'you are loved' and 'you're not alone'.. because I don't feel this is true for me. But... then I immediately wondered if anyone else out there feels alone and unloved. None of us deserve to feel that way. So I dedicated my practice to you - whoever you are. I'm with you ❤
And at the end of the practice I looked up and saw my two cats, curled up close to me... so it seems I'm loved and not alone after all... 🥰
Thank you Adriene for always challenging my body and my thoughts.
when I repeated the phrase "I got this!!" I could not stop my tears from rolling out of my eyes. I need that strength right now to pick my self up and push forward. I GOT THIS!!!
Day 11 of Blossom 🌸 My goodness I did not know I needed this practice today. I have really noticed how connected to my breath and the Earth I was until today. I can feel my inner strength improving and my body loving these static holds. 👏🥰
Thank you for these video's and practices Adriene! You're a blessing! 💖
My life has been intensely busy and emotionally demanding of late. After an absence of several months I landed back on the mat today and now feel I have got back in touch with the peace and calm that lies within. Thank you Adriene. x
Welcome back Elizabeth 🌟🤗
@@sabrinadjerrah Thank you. 😊
My heart is so heavy - I broke down last night in so much pain. This morning, what a beautiful alignment that this is the practice on the calendar. A practice filled with opportunities to remind myself I'll be okay, I got this. So grateful for the lightness I found during this short practice.
💜🙏
Hope you find yourself lifted back up really soon 🙏
Who is still here?
Blossom day 11. 495 days in a row with Adriene.
This practice was beautiful, it was so pure. Saying "I got this" made me cry and I realized I had forgotten to say these words to myself for a while. It was a beautiful reminder that WE ALL GOT THIS. Thank you Adriene, thank you for healing us.
Thank you Sinem for your beautiful comment 🙏🏻🌸
Isn’t it amazing how our bodies actually speak to us through the practice?? ❤️❤️🌈🌈
Thanks Adrian I needed to be reminded. “ I’ve got this !!! God has got this!!”
Woke up today with my nervous system being all over the place bc I have a lot of things going on and my first thought was “I need yoga and meditation”. Thank you for providing these tools for everyone for free 🙏🏻
Skipping a bit ahead during Blossom since I’m already a day off and needed this today ❤️
Good morning Adriene! Thank you! 🙏❤
It's my birthday! I'm not allowed to host a party but I ate cake with my boyfriend, saw my neighbour, and 2 close friends came by. All in social distances and outside. 😊 ♥️ I'm grateful that I hit level 41!! Have a great day! 😘
I have been reading in the comments recently how people are grateful for their bodies.... i thought about this and realised that i used to see life as a drugery and my body as a burden...but during the last 3 years i changed so much that i actually accept and embrace my body and i am honored and excited where it leads me.🤸♂️ Namaste
It always catches me off guard to cry after the mantra, "I am strong" but little by little as I show up to my mat and tune in, I am getting stronger. Each day I show up I show strength to keep going. With each practice I push my body and gain physical strength. I am strong.
When I first started 226 days ago I am strong was just something I said to try convince myself. Now I say it because I know I AM STRONG! Stick with it 🥰
How am I feeling? Truthfully I cried the entire time. I'm not really sure why. It was the first time in a very long time that I did yoga. My tears were a big release for me. The stretching and poses helped ease my body a bit but when it came time for breathing love in I couldn't help but feel like I was suffocating. And when it came time to breathe love out, it was like a flood gate was opened up. It's made me realise that I have a lot of love to give to this world but I feel that the world as a whole doesn't offer much back. I'm afraid of this world and saddened by what it has become. My biggest insecurities lie with the dark side of humanity (and I'll be honest, some of my fears can be attributed to shark week too). On a positive note, with the help of this video, I am now at least aware of where this insecurity and anxiety is coming from and can take the first steps in going through it, opening up and gaining clarity in order to face it. Thank You.
Honestly started crying some too, it was nice to be able to release the stress ^^
Here for Spark Day 11 July '22✅😀💪🏾🍀🌸
☀️🌅🔥🌅☀️This is my favourite as the hot day cools off here🧘🏾♀️💞💞😌...I really love how slow and calming this felt..I'm even getting stronger with the planks and your guiding soothing voice. Thank you Adriene.. and this lovely Yoga comm. We are not alone. Nice evening to all you yogi buddies😊
Namaste 🙏🏾💚💚
Those yoga practices you do just because they’re on the monthly calendar but they actually end up being exactly what you didn’t know you needed 👌🏽🤩
I had a cry at the beginning of the practice during the check-in but now I can slowly feel my power - thank you Adriene for taking yoga practice to another dimmension!
Blessed Beloved Blossom 🌸 Yogis! This practice was both challenging and rewarding which directly correlates with the difficult tasks of a 5 week Certification class I am enrolled in. My body appreciates this experience. Now, I'm ready for meditation. 🧘🏾♀️ Namaste & Ase! 🦋❤🦋
This is my 3rd month of doing yoga everyday and I love how strong my body is becoming. I did this video last year and struggled thru the side planks, this time I felt so strong in the pose and so aligned, yes I was breathing deeply at the finish but it felt so good. I can’t thank you enough Adriene for the inspiration to get on my mat everyday. There are no words for the love you show us 🙏❤️✌️
Exactly this!
I am definately overly cautious about side planks, and modify them to be on a 90° arm, or on one knee. I have previously hurt my wrist seriously.
What's better than doing yoga at home with your pajamas and hangout with Adriene!
Namaste 🙏
Zakia Zemmour nothing!!! That’s the best🧘♀️
Thank you Adriene! Does anybody else say “I am strong” anytime you do a plank? I noticed I say it all the time now even during other workouts. ☺️Namaste.🙏🏽❤️💚💛🙏🏽
Great practice. Such control. Definitely cultivating strength and self discipline.
Well who else came out of that practice with a massive smile and "thank goodness" that Adriene is there for us all. Hope you all are having a great day and keep going. Namaste 🙏
Yes! ME!
❤thank you ❤ Adriene ❤
Friday blossoms - such a lovely practise. I enjoy every session! I’m happy that I made it to the mat again, the journey to it can be very long.
Thank you Adriene. My mind and body feels like a complete clear channel. I feel open.
Thank you Adriene ☀️
Day24 Cultivate Aug’21
See you tomorrow 🧘🏻♀️
Namaste 🙏🏻
Just completed this soul therapy for me, and also sending love out to a friend who has just lost his mum xx
Starting with Move, I'm still here with the Blossommers. Day 41. I am so proud of myself and my people here. It was my first time to do completely as you did on the mat, Adriene. Even in the planks! It's happening and I am surprised of myself and my body every day. I am so happy. I am strong, we are strong. Namaste!
Turn day 19! I am strong, I got this.
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🤎🤎🤎
I beat insecurities by telling myself that I am uniquely created, I may not fit into everything but I am perfectly molded to do what's from within.
Great practice today everyone
Thank you for the beautiful guidance Adriene, be blessed
Namaste 🙏
powerful, as always, Adriene keeps it real and authentic. Accessible. Yesterday helped my old shepherd girl die peacefully and buried her in the yard - i needed this today to breath and yes a few tears during the spinal twist. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss. Glad you found a moment to release some emotion in a safe space
Never easy. Good vibes your way
I am feeling calm, peaceful and brave. Thank you for this practice. :)
I was feeling all over the place, but it's all good now. Feel so much calmer. 💖🌸
Same! This practice helped me to find trust and also remind myself that "it's okay to not be okay".🌹🌹
Just what I needed today. Plenty of gratitude for our beautiful teacher Adriene and our whole YWA family.
Thank you Adriene for your dedication to our everyday practice and for our well being.
My beautiful kitty man joined me on the mat this morning. He usually watches from afar. Today is the day we say good-bye to him, and thankfully, today is a good day for him. We walked in the morning dew, let him eat some grass, and then I rolled out the mat. Thank you for helping me feel my strength today. I badly need it. When you said things are exactly as they should be, as much as it hurt, I felt that truth. Death is also a part of life, and a peaceful death is a gift.
so needed this. I have been feeling very insecure about my self today and the past couple of months
I nearly didn't do today's yoga because I was feeling completely exhausted and a bit overwhelmed. I'm glad I went ahead and tried, as it is exactly what I needed to feel better. Thank you!
This was exactly me today, just wanted to rest and this hit the spot 😊💙
You make this world a better place Adriene
I just cried my way through this one. Wow.
Crying is so good sometimes, I hope you’re feeling better now! 🌸
Adriene has a gift for placing a practice on a day that I didn't know I needed until I showed up on my mat. Even though there was a little more heat in this practice I chose to do before bed, I felt lighter, more calm afterwards, which feels good, empowering. Thank you, Adriene for helping me find what feels good. You're my hero. Namaste 🙏🏻.
TURN Day 19.....perfect....just what I needed today. Thank you Adriene. Namaste🙏🏽 ❤️💚💛🙏🏽
Thank you Adriene ❤️
Day 8 Bridge Febr’21
See you tomorrow 🧘🏻♀️
Namaste 🙏🏻
