I know that around this point in the journey it can get more challenging to keep up the great work and to show up to the mat with enthusiasm and rigor.
But listen - you got this far - and guess what? You can show up with whatever you have. This ride is about being present with what is.
YOU GOT THIS! Let’s RIDE!
Thank you again Adriene!💜🙏🪷
💓💓 what a ride it has been!! 💓💓💓
Thank you! 🫶✌️🧘♀️🙏
Woohoo!! 😄 Enjoying the journey. ❤
What a great message. I'm proud I've made it this far regardless of whatever.
To day for the first time after years of yoga I was able to step straight to a lunge from down dog in one rather than the two step process I normally do 😊. That is a goal I've reached and I'm proud of . So greatful to be in this loving community reading people's comments warms my soul ❤❤
Me too!! Such a good feeling. Well done to you 🎉🎉🎉
Me, too! First time since 2017.
I stubbed my left toes hard today when trying to do that. Had to giggle a little and tried again 😅
Congratulations ❤ Hoping to get there some day as well 🤞🏼
I was just celebrating the same thing myself 🥹✨ Isn’t it a wonderful feeling?
'Laugh, Fall, Fart' is the new 'Live, Laugh, Love'
Right?!
Hilarious 😂❤️
We need a t-shirt 😂
So grateful that Adriene acknowledges the realities of yoga 😂🍂💨
Haha yes!
I struggled today, needing multiple breaks because I’m sick, and completely failing with balancing. The important thing is, we all showed up. No matter how it went, that’s an achievement ☺️
Don't be hard on yourself, you showed up...rest and get better soon!
You stuck with it and did it. I struggled today as I'm having a vertigo episode. Hope the rest of your day is a good one 🙏
What a beautiful example of self love. Take care💟
Get well soon 😊 x
You’re great, see you tomorrow and all the best
Third day of January my husband had a stroke and was suddenly committed to the hospital. Second day of January, as many other people, I had done the first day of Flow. I had decided to commit to it. Throughout what has turned out to be the most difficult January of my life, you can not imagine the strength, warmth and much needed routine and rooting this daily yoga practice has brought me - a place to come back to myself. I have cried and laughed, tears of fear and relief. My husband is back home and recovering from a surgery, he is getting stronger every day - and so I am, as I continue to master my downward dogs with a little bit stronger arms and legs every day.
good luck for you husband. I hope he is recovering well. my dad also recently had a mini stroke and was very lucky with his recovery. Thinking of you
thank you so much
Oh my goodness. Wishing you both well. You are a rockstar!
Thank you for this reminder to push through the journey. My rabbit passed away and I've been shocked how deeply his death has grieved me. Today the mat reminded me of him. And you remind me to love this yoga fully! Sending strength and love to your husband's recovery!
When Adrienne says "Welcome to Flow" I feel so warm and grateful. My name is Flo
😂😂😂😂
so true!
🎉Happy Birthday to me. 76 years young and still doing Yoga with Adrienne. Thanks to Yoga I am here. 🎉 This challenge seems to have a softer, gentle Adrienne. THANKS Adrienne and this community for inspiring me to the mat. Think I'll have a beer to celebrate😮❤
🥳 Happy, happy Birthday to you! You are an inspiration to others by showing up and being kind to your body. Have a lovely day🌹
I'm 73 and fitter now than I think I've ever been. Together with my weight training, I'm going to keep doing this for the rest of my life.
Happy Birthday, friend!
Happy birthday to you! Enjoy the yoga - and the beer! 🥳
Happy Birthday
I'll never get tired of seeing Benji sleeping near you and the two of you having your sweet moments together!
My cats like to come around me when I do yoga, too. Such a blessing 🙏🏼
My cat likes to join me too, however he likes to nip my head, nip my ankles and then try to scratch my lovely purple & pink mat so, out he has to go.
@rosaliejohnson6491 Aw, maybe it's because he wants to play! One of my cats does that, and at some point, I realized they wanted to play and were using those tactics to get my attention/help me understand. So sweet, even if it hurts 😂🥰
My heathen likes to get right up under my down dog. Little cur. She loves these moments, too. Please scritch your kitties from us!
Mine always start with the downward facing cat pose! It's really funny to watch ❤
My cats join me too.
I got a really bad cut on my thumb yesterday evening, and had to go to the ER to get 4 stitches. I was very frustrated that I wouldn’t be able to complete this yoga series, but then I received Adriane’s email, reminding me to come as I am. I am very proud to say that I have done this session, with a lot of modifications to not use my right hand, but I did it. I couldn’t be happier 🌷
Kuddos to everyone doing this, powering through obstacles and meeting themselves where they’re at ❤
Wishing you get well soon ❤️
I'm so sorry! The same thing happened to me a couple years ago during the 30 day journey. I did dolphins instead of downward dog I remember. I had really strong shoulders by the end lol! I hope you're able to find the modifications you need and that you heal quickly and well!
Glad you modified instead of giving up. Sorry you hurt yourself. Get well soon, see you tomorrow 😊
❤
You’re an inspiration that despite obstacles we can still show up!
It’s been easier to show up every morning this go-round and I think part of that is that the flows are all less than 30 minutes so it’s been easier to incorporate into my routine. Grateful for YWA. 🙏
Yes they feel like 10 mins long
This!
I agree, I have no excuse not to do them with this length!😊
I agree. The length is perfect 🥰
@@erinlynn2983 yes 😃 I roll out my yoga mat and it feels like after 10min Adriene says -"Lots of love in, Lots of love out- Namaste" 🥰
I have been interrupted by my kids at least 3 times 😂 does it still count? I think so! Happy Saturday everyone 😊
Absolutely. It happens but you showed up and did it, and it's great your kids can see you doing some loving for yourself, great role model ❤
😂🙌🏾👍🏾 Oh yes! Absolutely counts... it's self care practice and they can join in too, doing modified parts and you'll end up having a good laugh with them which is so good & 👌🏾 food for the soul. Happy Saturday to you also😄❤️🙏🏾
Downward facing dog with kids sitting under me is my favorite pose 😂
Absolutely!
Definitely! And you have a sense of humour about it which is the best! Good for you!!
I felt really unmotivated this morning and convinced myself to show up by telling myself I could stop at any point. Ended up really enjoying this practice and being in a much better mood afterwards! The hardest part truly is showing up, so congrats to us that we keep showing up!😊
It is this, exactly! No matter, how tired, stressed or even angry You are at the time You show up, The feeling afterwors is amazingly relaxed! I would love to say "balanced". I made it - and I loved it!😊
I love this way of looking at it to. I remind myself I just need to try… I don’t need to do anything, just show up. Even in poor spirits I find I do it anyway
@@Piisku05I definitely had an angry day this series. It’s a beautiful lesson that life is up and down but we have the power of showing up
This 30 day challenge has been amazing! Thank you, Adriene!
I whole-heartedly agree ❣️ I have been dabbling in practices with Adrienne...but this 30 day commitment is just so powerful ❤
How grateful I do feel for all of you that have been doing this, and to you Adriene ❤
Wow.... Where did the 23 minutes go 😮. Fabulous, thank you ❤
This is the first day that I consciously noticed how much stronger I've gotten since Day 1! Reaching out with opposite hand and leg was much more stable today than it has been throughout this journey, and boat at the end has never felt so easy! Whether you notice it or not, you are getting stronger!!
Adriene, I Was about to comment, "you've outdone yourself today". However I had a moment of realization that you bring the script and I make my movie. We are all doing outstanding, together. Love for all of you here, or there- everywhere. Namaste
Love to you as well!
Hi everyone. This is a very beautiful flow. The type that I tend to get into a lot😅. Congratulations. We've made it this far🎉. Despite whatever obstacles we faced, we are still here. True definition of perseverance. I'm proud of us all. Have a great day and I hope to see you again tomorrow.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever been so connected to my breath. Absolutely loved this “Ride”! Thank you, Adriene!
Same here! What a wonderful experience.
Yes!!! My always wobbly feet and me did this!!! We didn't fall once! Obviously, we wobbled a bit but who cares!!! 😂🎉
Have a great Saturday everyone! 😊
😂wobbling too, but didn't fall.
🙌🙏💕
Recovering from an autistic burnout, this journey is a wonderful way to get back in the flow 💖
Today I noticed I wasn’t as tired after doing the housework. I attribute it to being consistent with this months live videos and not wanting to miss a day. I colour in each session on my habit tracker and I don’t want to see any blanks. Working so far 😊🙏🏼💪🇦🇺
I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this yoga platform.
This is one of those practices that really demonstrates the benefits of yoga both on and off the mat. As I flow and celebrate one cycle of breath between poses, I feel myself move through my day.
Breathe in, walk into a potentially stressful situation; breathe out, let it go and stay embodied.
Breathe in, look both ways and cross the street; breathe out, turn the corner.
Breathe in, start a new project; breathe out, remember I am capable.
Thank you Adriene + Benji for teaching us how to remember our beautiful humanity. We are human BEINGS (not doings).
♥
Anyone else still making their way through this? 🌻
Day 19. Today was one of the days when I struggle to even get out of the bed. It took me whole morning to drag myself to the mat and even then I started the practice in my hoodie, ready to make it easier for myself and skip the difficult poses. But my body was rested after yesterday's meditation and so I was actually able to follow through the whole practice. I feel better now. Still not good, but better. I'm grateful for this opportunity to be led through a part of my day, the opportunity to move and do something for myself. Something that my future self will always thank me for. Thank you, Adriene, Benji, everyone. Have a nice day. 💛
The best way to start my birthday 🥰💫💛🧘♀🙏
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday 🎂
Happy happy birthday Marianna
Aw congrats, hope u have a special day x
Happy birthday! 🎉
This is the perfect practice to save to your favourite playlist as it gets the blood pumping and recaps a lot of poses, that once you can master, make you feel like a professional yogi. If you can complete this practice, it shows how far you’ve come with stamina and movement, I think. Well done everyone 😊 Day 19 ✔
Well said. Sort of a greatest hits practice.
Day 19, February 12th. I was in boat with straight legs for couple of seconds, my legs tremble but I did it. I'm getting stronger 🎉. Thanks, Adriene and Benji ❤❤❤ Lots of loving to all ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏 ❤
I’m a few days behind, but some how this practice felt perfect for me today. This day. It’s been one of my favorites so far of this 30 day journey. I woke up feeling a little grumpy. But this practice quickly helped me push those negative feelings away and ride the waves of my breath. ❤
I too enjoyed riding the waves of the breath! We're a little behind but still going strong! 🙌
Picking this 30-day journey back up after having to take breaks during Jan. due to getting the flu and pulling my neck. So far I realize that the yoga I've been doing regularly is most often in my comfort zone, and this 30-day journey continues to challenge and expand my practice. Onwards!
Just need to say, Benji is the coolest dude. He really helps bring the chill vibes 😂❤
Today I was able to go straight into plank every time rather than my usual option of half plank or all fours. 😊 Happy day 19 everyone!❤
My favourite sequence so far! Namaste Adriene!
I began on January 1st & two months later, I’m still on my journey 🐢 I’m so grateful for the ability to join at a pace that’s comfortable for my chronic & acute illnesses, mental health, & physical disabilities 🧘🏻♀️
After two years of regualr practice this is the first time that I’ve managed to keep up with a flow sequence. I must be getting stronger. Thank you, Adriene.
I am struggling today with depression/unmotivation. With being cooped up inside for over a week because of this cold weather and snow in the USA, today was the first really hard day that I was struggling with mental health. I allowed myself to be in my baggy PJs for this session and just told myself to "hit start, you don't even have to finish if it's too much" breathing deeply with movements made me realize just how poorly I've been breathing because of my posture today and it helped me so much over these 20min to make me feel a little bit more "alive" again.
Wonderful way to start the weekend. I can feel myself getting stronger and calmer with every video. Thank you Adriene for helping me (us) grow strong! ❤
So I am behind just finished this video but not giving up. This year is start to fresh and new after a hard 2023. Thank you for this 30 days to get into new year with peace
While doing the sun salutation, full flow, my arms reaching up high, I smiled so fully. I hadn’t decided on my word of the year yet and usually have by now. It came to me. BEING. Active presence. It’s perfect. I love this community and this practice was my favorite! ❤️ Bittersweet and I will enjoy every last bit of the rest of it and look forward to what Adriene has in store for the future! 🎉
I am grateful for all of this.
I actually felt a little stronger today. A good flow! 🧘
This flow was floooowing…. I was little wobbly but I felt strong today… 💪🏾 Happy Saturday everyone!
Happy Saturday to you as well!
Another missed day, but I came back and am giving myself some grace. Still grateful to have found this journey. Thanks Adriene!
I finally caught up and am participating live again. I’m glad I didn’t give up! Today felt like a very smooth and active vinyasa flow that opened up parts of my heart and lungs and nose more than I could the past week. I feel more fluid and alive! My core is so much stronger and now I’m understanding that holding my belly button into my spine and really squeezing this core is the *core* (no pun intended) to my practice. I can hold the plank better than a year ago and can draw my arms into a crunch with so much more control. I even feel like I have more potential to reaching my leg into a lung from down dog without having to take steps in my future. Most of all I’m thankful that my breathe and body movements are more synchronized and I feel a relaxation in my body and mind and soul that I rarely connect to. In these moments I realize how beautiful and special a daily yoga practice is and I thank all of you and Adrienne for inspiring me to come to the mat every year. What a beautiful tradition 😌
Good morning Adriene. Thank you for today’s session. My balance was definitely off this morning. I had a good laugh as I kept falling over. Really enjoyed today though. Love and light to you. Xxx Namaste.
Hey, late afternoon here in Oz when Adrienne's videos land...and balance challenged me a bit too! I snuck a sneaky champas in, which might not have been favourable 😂 but I showed up, as you did 🙏
@@yogaontheroad-beginneryogis Good afternoon. It’s easy to forget the different time lines. Adriene’s videos land at 6am here in the UK. Have a fabulous day.
this was awesome! A great flow with a bit of challenge but not too much heat to handle, thank you Adriene! Definitely going in my faves playlist to do again in the future! Good work everybody, we are almost to the end of this journey together! :D
Made it just before the wire!
I'm going on a run for the first time in a long time tomorrow afternoon and I honestly don't think I'd be able to without these daily practices.
Thank you Adrienne and company! And thanks to all the great people in the comments. You rock and you've got this too! 🙏🧘🏼
Today was an absolute delight! My breath and movement were the most connected they’ve been so far, and I really enjoyed the practice. This is such a wonderful experience! ❤
Thank you for my favourite day of the 30 day challenge so far! Such a fun practice ☺️
Gosh I think this is my favourite flow so far ❤ feeling revitalised and deeply grateful on my journey back to self ☀️ such powerful shifts of energy being ushered in today Astrologically ♒️ I’m feeling a huge shift.. I wish this was a 365 day challenge 🧘🏻♀️
What a great session! And what a way to start a new chapter - I've made it through the first half of January where I was working all the time, rehearsed for theatre, got tonsillitis, then a cold, and still I managed to keep it up. Yesterday I nearly crashed from the stress and the perfect practice of just breathing pulled me out of that hole.
And now with today's session I get to start two weeks off from work, just doing what I love being on the stage eveynight and following this beautiful journey to keep me grounded and flexible.
I bet I didn't look very graceful in those balancing postures, but I held them and it made me feel so powerful and strong. I am so glad I started this journey and am still going, it's already done so much for me. ❤
Break a leg!
I'm just so happy to be here. This was one of my favorite practices during this journey so far! I'm so proud of everyone who has stuck with it this far. I can't wait for the next 11 days!
I loved the flowiness of today’s practice. It felt like something clicked in my brain, body, and breath and I moved effortlessly.
I appreciated the reminders to “ ride the wave of the breath”, it really helped me stay connected to the flow. Thank you for a lovely practice!
Came to the mat with a lot of anxiety today but this practice really helped. So grateful for this journey!
I was so excited to see that today's practice was focused on gratitude! I was reading a book about an hour ago and the chapter I was up to talks about gratitude! After reading it, I had decided that I want to focus on being grateful to God for where I am now in life, even though it is challenging. I know there is a purpose for the struggle and I will come out stronger because of it. I then open up your beautiful email that comes everyday and I see the word gratitude! An affirmation that this is an area I need to focus on. Thank You God for letting me see and understand your messages!
I really enjoyed the fast paced practice and riding the waves with my breath. I don't know how you talk and breath and focus and move all at the same time! You're an amazing teacher, Adriene. Thank you so much! I feel my physical body getting so much stronger!
I think this was my favourite practice so far of this 30 day journey. 💚
Knowing this will be the last 30 day challenge I am building my ‘Adrienne & Benji Never Quit Yoga Folder’ filled with all the love & encouragement you generously give daily in each practice. I always have a place to go to practice & brighten my day. ❤ to You & Benji!
So so many great things about practice today 🙏 the timing ✅ the energy ✅ the heart openings ✅ the ebb and the flow ✅ the value and advocacy you radiate, Adrienne ✅...
I practice regularly 🧘♀️ but this (my first) 30 day 'flow' with you and this community, feels transformative...
The Love and Light in Me...Honours the Love and Light in Everyone Here 🙏 Namaste❤
Did this on the Eve of my 27th birthday and what a wholehearted gratitude I feel for being alive and in my body ❤ thank you Adriene!
This sequence was amazing! I felt incredibly strong and centered-and was able to flow more easily than usual and do some things I normally struggle with. I have taken to doing a short 16ct bouncy dance when the percussion kicks in on the intro each day. 🙂 Puts a smile on my face (even if it’s a tough morning) and gets me ready to join Adriene and Benji for each days journey!
Thank you! By now I can really feel the change, not only in a sense of habit, but also in the feel of power and uplift/flow of the postures in the body.
This was truly a RIDE! 4 years ago I would have struggled with this one. I sit here with a huge, ridiculous grin, pleased and grateful for this self care that I totally deserve. Thank you, Adriene, for sharing your time with us, once again, much love❤
Greetings from Day 19 - I am certain I laughed, smiled, fell and farted with today's journey. I felt my breath through most of the movements today. Grateful to be here.
Each day's title really matches whatever is happening in my day! It's crazy! I do have a big ride today with work. Yesterday, I really needed to just meditate. Tomorrow, I'm taking a break, so yes, turning inward is what I need. The same happened for all the days before that!
NGL benji's prompt to be still and to look out to the horizon is what I am leaving the mat with! thanks puppers! AND YES! I also love this one, added to my faves.🐕🥰
Ah, I feel like I just floated down a mountain and the mountain was me. Beautiful session! Thank you, Adriene, for your graceful lead.
I have been practicing Yoga with Adriene for about three years now. Before then I would practice on and off. I always liked yoga. I am stronger and healthier now. YWA is also therapeutic for me. If I miss a day I feel off. I feel fortunate to share space on earth with you Adriene, all the followers of YWA, and everyone else too.
OMG! I was in such a flowy, floaty state after my practice this morning I forgot to say thank you. Adriene and Benji I am very grateful to be a part of your community. Thank you for today:)
I felt like with this practice I got to marry all the lessons of yoga. Felt great to finally flow.
Extremely grateful for this journey with Adriene and all the wonderful people here. Only a little over a year in following and practicing and at 70 years old I can say, it is never too late! Thank you so much!❤
Every day is wonderful. I get out of bed in the morning, get my mat and meet Adriene and Benji. Then I am ready for my day. I can see a difference in my flexibility already! So glad to be back on the mat with you all!
Glad you are here as well!
I appreciated when you said “capture the flag,” for it used to be my favorite game as a child! In the moment of you saying that, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be🙏🏼❤️
Very soothing, loved building that heat! Lots of down dogs. Love me some lunges. Really connected to the breath! FLOW JAN 2024
i was worried yesterday you said you'd bring the fire! but that was great. more like the wind. i am getting stronger too. thanks adriene, thanks benji, thanks yogis 💓💓💓
You are not alone🤝🏾❤️😂🙏🏾
Oh! Adriene is such a smooth operator! What a delightful ride of flow today!
Cue: Sade! ♥️♥️♥️🥰
It was challenging at some points but rewarding. Glad I did it. Thanks and lots of love to Adriene and sweet Benji and all practicing people ❤❤❤Namaste 🙏
This challenge is my favorite so far. Maybe it's because I really needed it this year. Became a mom in 2023, now ready to find my way back to selfcare ❤ Namaste
Oh, what a wild ride this one was! One of my favorite practices from this series so far. Feeling very grateful 💞
If you would not be here I would not, this is my only promise to myselve at the New year that I haven not break. And its because so many of us doing it together thank you for giving me strength and leading by example. ❤️ YWA❤️
"Notice how you feel."
I felt my heartbeat in my fingertips
Thank you, Adriene for this wild ride with a laugh, smile, fall and fart workout! You are hilarious and thanks for making our practice fun and love that Benji takes it all in :) Namaste 🕉
I've finally caught up with the practices! I started this year's 30 days a couple of days late because I was away over new years. I've been doing Adriene's 30 days challenges for a few years now, and usually find myself in the opposite position, missing a couple of days and finishing the whole thing a bit late, so I'm really proud of myself. I didn't't find today particularly easy, I was a bit sore and tired, but I did it! Yay :) thank you Adriene x
Day 19 was wonderful! I am approaching my 5-year anniversary of the yoga class that inspired me to make yoga a part of my life. My milestone is finding balance on one leg. How gratifying to feel strong! I am so grateful. Thank you, Adriene!
Again, I had to take a couple days break for my painful wrist, but I'm still here catching up with you all!!!
Thank you for letting me going through this journey with yall🥰
I'm so grateful🙏
The day is not complete without a new video from the Flow yoga journey! 😁
Whoa Neddy! That was fast! Struggling with vertigo today, but showed up, took care and did it. It's awesome that we're all here everyday. Have a beautiful day everyone 🤗💞💖💞
🤣 whoa Neddy really made me laugh
@@freetobe8345 Cool!! It's really making me laugh again now!! Tally-ho!! 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great day 😊🙏
Tally-ho Christina 😂🤗
I definitely forgot to do yoga yesterday so now I'm one day behind but I'm still here!
This was my favorite session in this series so far. The first half with the constant breath guidance really helped my pair the breath and the movements. Best of luck to everyone making their way through!
Namaste my family and good morning
Omg that was magical
I think that this was my favorite so far for this journey! Despite a lot of things going on around me in the room while practicing, I was able to have such a focus. With closed eyes, and only letting Adriene’s voice guiding me, I now finished this practice feeling FIERCE!
Thank you, Adriene and to the whole community. Namaste!
Yesterday I was so grateful for a rest day because my back seemed tweaked. But something magical happened. I focused on my core and posture all day...trying to move with ease and grace. I came home from work and had a hot Epsom salt bath and practiced self care and rest. Today I was nervous for this practice... but my back feels so much better! Movement IS medicine. Pay attention to your body and honor it! I love that Adriene focuses on "find what feels good" rather than "push through the pain" ... that's why I keep coming back day after day, year after year... Adriene is the best instructor and I couldn't be more grateful to practice with her and everyone here! Namaste!
Did anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable in yesterday's meditation but then realise today that it helped them mentally settle in quicker & easier?
Day 19 done! Can't believe I did 4 days of practice in one day!!! I'm so proud of myself for being determined and strong. I am also happy because I am now catching up by completing the missed days
I’m 12 days late but still going and feeling stronger! Namaste Adrienne!❤
The intention I chose at the beginning of the practice is to be kind to myself. I realise more and more that that is exactly what this journey is about for me; learning more about what being kind to myself entails, as well as learning to be more kind to myself. I have a hard time being consistent, and I've learnt that it's about chosing to do what I know is good for me everyday more than it is about forcing myself into routine. It is kind to myself to do yoga every day even if I am not particularly excited about it that day, and it is also kind to myself to not beat myself up when I don't do it. I'm used to trying to force myself into routine, and then giving up and feeling like I failed when I inevitably skip a day (or a few). This time around I really try to give myself grace; I already was a few days behind and yesterday I didn't practice again. I notice wanting to do an extra session some days so I can catch up, or skipping some videos to catch up, but I am practicing being okay with 'being behind'. It is easier for me to push myself forward or give up than it is to allow myself to be imperfect, so I'm sitting with that uncomfortable feeling as I do each practice when I get to it. This is what feels good to my body, this is what will make me proud at the end (even if a few days later than the rest), completing this 30 day journey on my own terms instead of morphing it to what I think is expected.
This was so nice to read you can tell how much you’ve grown from reading this well done ❤ that is so so true when you say that it’s about being kind to yourself and continuing to show up whenever you can regardless of the days you’ve missed because it’s about the fact that this channel is here for life and that’s the beauty of it that we can do these practices and feel the benefits ❤
We did it! After yesterday's beautiful meditate session, you prepared us to face today's invigorating session. This is a great way to energize your day. Thank you Adriene...the YWA community loves you!
😮Mrs. Adriene! I knew you were going to give it to us! OHDOGGY!😅 Thank you 🙏🏽 for another amazing practice. Much love to all who showed up and showed out! Great job Collective! 👏🏽 GREAT 👍🏽 JOB 👏🏽 ❣️
Today was absolutely lovely. This Flow series continues to delight. I am feeling a bit blue this week, but coming to the mat feels good each time. I really appreciate it and am grateful to be here. 💕
Sorry about the blues, way to make it to the mat!
I have severe scoliosis & I remember not being able to stand on my left leg at the beginning of my yoga journey about 4 years ago. Today I managed to do the dancer pose on both of my legs :) ♡ Even though my spine won't get better anymore I still love improving like this, but of course every day is different❤
Beautiful!
