At first I felt resistant to practice effortless Rest but in the process I realized how much I needed this kind, slow and nourishing treatment ❤ sometimes I forget to give myself Rest and just to enjoy myself. Thank you for reminding, Adriene! Namaste 🙏
That was just our zen! At the end when I asked my self how I feel....I felt loved. I took the time to relax and love myself ❤
I feel like I was punched in the stomach 😆
48 hours passed and I’m STILL feeling day 6. Yeah, a burrito blanket feels okay today. 😊
Ha, same
Me too!
Good Morning. Me too! My abs are still sore.🤣🤣❤️
me too! Still chest area still sore!
Lol last night as I was laughing, my abs were aching!
Benji running around with his blanket on made me smile this morning ☺️🫶🏻
Yes, this was absolutely amazing to watch LOL
He is just so sweet, perfect addition to some yoga!
Loved this! 😍 See you all tomorrow!
Yessssss!! 😂😊❤❤❤
Hah! Me too 😂
I really wanted to be on the live 30 day schedule this year, but life happened as it does, and here I am showing up for day 8 on "day 15" and feeling proud of myself! Hope anyone that got sidetracked for whatever reason, can rejoin!
Exactly! Same here. I was sick the first two weeks of the year. Here I am now practicing at my own pace. That´s what it´s all about.
Lots of love for everyone
You're leaving me in the dust. I am on day 8 today (day 22) because it's incredibly hot here in South Africa and I struggle to find my mat when it's 39 degrees C!
January 24th and I just got to this one! But doing pretty good on yoga every (most) days! Have been enjoyed some juicy in person classes and freeyogaTV's classes
Here too a bit late. Today on day 8 and soon it will be February! Back in the days I could do several practices in a day just to get up to pace, but now I know better not to rush.
right here with ya!@@jannar2826
I remember the first time I actually made it to Day 8 and was given permission to relax and do nothing - I burst into tears! I was expecting it today and really looked forward to it! Especially since by belly is still a little sore from Day 6, haha! Enjoy, everyone! 💖
Me too!
Benji wandering into the frame draped in a blanket was so cute, I had a good giggle at that part. He looks so regal, surveying his kingdom outside 😄 👑
I loved it too!!!
As soon as Adriene said to show a little tenderness to your self, I almost burst into tears. I've been so full of self-doubt and I've been really quite hard on myself the last couple of weeks, but felt such a sense of relief after doing this practice. Namaste 🙏
Adriene is amazing! You are amazing! 🙏🏽
Lot's of love to you, whatever you're going through ❤
You're not the only one. Sending you strength and love 💌
Hugs
You are not alone
SUGGESTION-❤It would be amazing to have 5-10 minutes of calm music to meditate to at the end before the commercial busts in. You leave us in such a peaceful place. It would be nice to stay there! Thank you for your yoga! You’re approach makes it easy to keep going and create a habit. I think this is Year 4 or 5 for me. 😊🎉
I feel the same about the ending and like your suggestion, in the meantime, I have saved soft music on TH-cam that I put on when practice finishes. So you still have to get up to switch. I like the hang drum for the heart chakra by Meditative Mind. I wonder if you would like it too:)
I agree!
Been feeling exactly the same! If you change your playback settings to auto play off you’ll get a nice bit of silence at the end.
Yeah I always find the ending music to be too hype/electronic
thank you@@jike4735
I never laughed so hard in a yoga practice then watching Benji with that blanket. 😂 I didn’t know I needed that. Thank you Adriene ❤
Benji walking out with the blanket draped over his back had me audibly laughing this morning. Such a sweet little companion.
Couldn't fall asleep last night, so feeling rather sluggish this morning - and grateful for some prolonged rest thanks to today's practice ✨ Have a lovely day everyone!
Exactly the same! Hope you have a good day even through the tiredness ❤
Me too!
Same here!
Up @ 2:45 a.m. up since so I hear you! Have a safe day & may you rest well tonight! 😊❤
I'm in the exact same boat! Hope today is kind to us both so our nights are more restful ❤
Benji walking around with the blanket on 😭
BENJI WATCH DAY 8: Benji began with a blanket on him and walked over to the gold potted plant. Something got Benji's attention by the windowsill and just laid up there for the rest of the session
Little bird 🐦 3:03 ❤
Thank you, I have my eyes closed for much of the practice so I missed this. Namaste
I happened to look at 2:40 and was laughing 😂😂
Today I was searching for Benji watch day in comments 😅
Was a tricky one for me to relax into today - the cat was in play mode, so hard to find stillness when something is biting your feet! But I tapped into my inner smile and saw the light side. Hope everyone else has a great day 8!
Haha sounds like a little extra challenge but also very sweet, hope you got some relaxation anyway. A wonderful day to you too! :)
Hah same here. I took some time to play with the cat until she was satisfied, then rewinded
Hahaha you are not alone in this experience 😻
My car found a leaf to play with. Making all kinds of noises. 😂
My cat decided to eat my hair during this practice so I understand the struggle 😂
Hi all! Day-8 woohoooo! I have a confession to make. I was a little lazy today morning and thought of skipping today's yoga practice and also my morning meditation. I wanted to have a Rest day since I've only last few days of my annual leave left. But then during the day I realized HOW MUCH I love Yoga, Meditation and ofc, Adriene! I missed all of it and decided to schedule all of this in my evening routine. I'm happy to be here and proud of myself for showing up on the mat. Thank you Universe. I hope the others had a great session too!
PS. - What a coincidence that today my mindset was to have a rest day and the Yoga theme for today is 'Relax', ah! I am so blessed and lucky
Dear Adriene, thank you for this a million times❤️ the last two weeks have been hell for me and my family - my dear beloved Mom has been battling cancer for 2,5 years. During the holidays she was hospitalised and yesterday she left us here forever. she is now with the angels, just like she was an angel on earth🤍 she was only 49.
our pain is indescribable and during the last 2 weeks yoga was the only thing that brought me a little peace of mind.
today I did this practice with my sister, who has never done yoga before but I knew this would help us. we held each others's hand during practice and all I could think of is that I hope Mom is very proud of the daughters she raised and of the love that's between us.🤍
thank you, Adriene for helping us through the worst days of our lives - I'm forever grateful.💗💗💗💗
Sorry about your loss. I am sure your mom is indeed very proud of her daughters. And thank goodness for sisters. May you continue to find peace through yoga and each other.
God bless you for coming to the mat during this most heartbreaking time in your life. I'm so glad you have a sister with whom to journey through the pain. Holding hands while practicing yoga.......❤❤❤ My condolennces.....
My heart is with your family. ❤ what a beautiful testament to your Mom.
Om Shanthi to the soul! ❤ .Glad you got a mother in your sister and vice versa...She is indeed proud!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can move gently with yourself as you grieve and celebrate your mother's life. Sending up prayers for you and your sister and family.
Started menstruating last night so this video came at the perfect time❣ So thankful to have found Adrienne, she's my 6am saviour 💖
me too!
Same🥲
Same, perfect timing! 😅
Same
same here. I'm on my second day which is the most painful for me. I'm so glad for this practice today!
Benji with his little blanket just staring at the view made my day
Im out here on Jan 23rd doing day 8 because I skipped so often... With any other program I would just give up but I know the way you teach makes me feel proud for coming back more than ashamed for skipping. So thank you for that!! To all slow bees: We can do it!!!! Lets finish, no matter in what time!!
I'm with you!
I’m even more behind! But I WILL finish it 🙌
I also fall out when I get too busy... But Adriene has always given me comfort to come back, allowing me to not be judgemental about myself. Lots of love to you and others ❤
Good morning friends! Decided to save this practice for this evening but still wanted to remind everyone that they matter and to take care of themselves today! ❤
✨Day 8!✨ ✨Classic day - Day 8, don't hate, meditate, feel great, woohoo!✨
How relaxing today's yoga practice was, absolutely loved it! ❤
✨Benji✨ with the blanket at the beginning is just adorable, AKBHJASKB, it made me smile!😆❤
Hahah love the classic intro phrase! ❤ And Benji was sooo adorable!
So I’m new to this, are there any other traditional days? So far, I gathered that 6 is always a core practice and 8 is a relax practice
Benji is the best 🥰
Benji... gorgeous boy, you steal the show again... that blanket... bless bless bless
I decided to save this practice for last today and now I’m here, after having taken care of everything I had to and had a relaxing shower, it’s like a soothing treat for myself before ending the day!❤
I hope we all learn that having those moments to rest is just as important, we deserve to take a breather sometimes and wrap ourselves up like a burrito☺️
Ps I smiled so much seeing Benji running around with the blanket on his back, it was the highlight of my day!
Perfect for today,Adriene💕. My dad is out of the ICU and into a regular hospital room. So relieved about that. Now I want him well and out of the hospital all together. Thank you to everyone here who prayed and sent good thoughts for him. It means so much.❤️
Good to hear!! Sending you positive energy from here. May the recovery be swift.
It blows me away sometimes how aligned things become when I start taking the time and space for myself. Adriene, you never disappoint. I woke up feeling beat up today. Truly. It was hard for me to to focus and get good work done, so I ended up taking half the work day from bed (I work remotely). I came on TH-cam to participate in Day 8 and immediately my heart was full seeing the thumbnail and title for today’s practice. Thank you thank you thank you. 🩵 a much needed dedication of cozy self love.
2:45 had to stop video to say, I LOVE BENJI !! Seeing his actions with the blanket really made my day😊😊 can’t stop smiling ☺️
I really miss the chat before the video 🥺 All of us from all over the world joining to share this moment and exchanging messages of love was beautiful and much needed right now ❤️
I agree, it was definitely a motivation for me to wake up in time to join
Same
yeah, it was a special few minutes, seeing how many people are at this unique moment in time doing the same thing as me. waiting for the youtube countdown to end. but still, glad to share it with you all.
I dunno. I am in the southern hemisphere so this now comes out at a much more approachable time for us in Australia
couldnt agree more😢
I’m 2 weeks “behind” but I’m here! 💫
Benji was such an absolute darling today!! was making it hard to close my eyes HAHA! Also, well done to everyone who reached their second week
"Give yourself the permission to do absolutely nothing!" That was the sentense I needed while my thoughts were going through my to-do-list all the time. Thank you Adriene! And now I feel able to start my busy day.
Yes!!
Aww Benji wearing his blanky - what a cosy boy! And this was a lovely practice :)
The burrito blanket wrap made me smile all say long. ❤ What a simple, fun and nourishing thing to do on the mat 😊
Love day 8! 🤍 Benji is so adorable with his blanket 🥰
Day 8, February 1st. Keep moving, keep flowing. Loved this surrender and relaxation. Benji is so cute with his blanket❤ Thank you, Adriene for this practice ❤Lots of love ❤️. Namaste 🙏
laughed out loud when Adriene said “the practice really picks up after this, so enjoy the rest now” what a great way to start my day!! thank you for providing us with todays flow
I loved that part too! 😂she’s such a cutie, that Adriene!
Benji with his blanket is everything ❤
I am glad you said "trust this practice most valuable." I needed to be encouraged to trust that rest is as valuable as "hard work."
This will be a great practice to come back to on the days where just getting on the mat is a challenge, I'm saving it for that exact occasion
Feeling mentally exhausted today so this was more than needed. How does she always know when to ask "How's the heart?" ❤
My second favorite part (after cozy Benji in a blankie) was when Adriene said something about how if you’re trending towards burrito 🌯 then you really should do it. I just love these guys. ❤ Thank you Adriene❤
Thank you for letting us enjoy this relaxation class it felt so good ….hello to everyone joining in today - see you on the mat tomorrow- as always thankyou 🙏 Newcastle Australia 🇦🇺
Hello to you too! From Essex, UK.
Benji is simply the cutest. That is all! (Oh, and I love this practice and series)
I wish I could comment with a picture! My dog, Odin, comes running as soon as he hears my yoga mat unroll or he hears the intro music to your videos. He loves Benji. He lays next to my mat, hoping Benji will be a part of the practice that day. I'm glad he can enjoy the time as much as I do! :)
Banji is the cutest yogi ever ❤🐶
Benji!
My dog Nyx and I went on a walk just before this practice. Once we got back, he stayed with me on the mat the entire time. Usually, I get a little flustered because I can’t do all the moves with him laying there, but this time, I just did the moves around him. Boy oh boy, by the end when I was in the burrito, he was at the top of my mat as my pillow and I burst into tears. It was such a tender moment that I’ll never forget. I needed to relax. Thank you universe and Adriene for bringing us this moment.
Benji is Absolutely Adorable, SO Cuuute with hims lil blankie around him to keep him warm, SO Cute !!😘♥️♥️♥️🐶🐾🐾
Amazing relaxation today. Grateful for this on this gloomy Tuesday 🧘♀️💜
I think Benji walking around with a blanket on might have been my favourite part 💕
hahahah Benji with the blanket made my day 😍 I've been following you for several years now and your videos have always been a safe and loving place for me. Thank you Adriene for so much love, time, energy, patience and passion 🫀 And thanks to the beautiful community in this channel that are always showing love and support. Loads of love and light to everyone from Argentina 🇦🇷
Yes to the tokito/burrito, it was a hot summers day here in Australia but I couldnt resist the urge to wrap up snug as a bug in a rug. I am on a journey of slowing down my life and just reelaxing a bit more so thank you Adriene this practice was perfect
Almost don't get to this today. Luckily it's a perfect bedtime routine!
This class was perfection. I usually have a monkey mind and today it got totally quiet and focused in what we were doing. Summer here so I had to skip the burrito part, although a little concerned was risen by Adriene's "threat" that this would be the last quiet day. Love you Adriene and all the people practicing with me. See you tomorrow for Day 9, Day 8 in!!
totally can relate to you!!!❤
Alarm went off for the premiere. It’s chilly in London this morning so I turned it off and turned over to go back to sleep and the monkey mind decided to come play and got up! Forgotten about day 8 being a relax day, so this was perfect - this burrito is finding it hard to move on right now 😂😂 thanks as ever for giving me just what I needed ❤❤
Hi, what time is it live in the UK? X
@@judegates341 it’s now 7.30am - video premieres at 6am in the uk.
@@samanthahill8296 thank you!
Benji with the blanket made my morning!! 😂❤
Yummy and delicious practice today......loved the blanket and the softness. See everyone tomorrow.....love watching Benji on the windowsill so chilled. Thank you Adriene ❤❤
I never skip the slower practices because, to me, they are just as important as the faster paced ones, and so crucial in taking a time out and recovery! Day 8 ✔ 💪💚
woke up sore from days 6 and 7, so this relaxing practice felt lovely and just what the body needed. Thank you Adriene!
It felt like medicine. Thank you Adriene.
This day's practice reminded me of why I fell for this practice! Everything in this video - Adriene's relaxing guidance, blankets, burritos, and Benji with the blankie as the star 😍. Everything is a comfort 🥰
Today was a very hard day emotionally, this rest really helped me to have the tenderness I need to keep going today. Congrats to all of us for making it to Day 8! 🙏
Lovely way to start today! I have a full day ahead, and this was the perfect start. I am leaving my mat down so I will end the day with this practice tonight before bed. Grateful for the invitation. Enjoy the day, everyone ~*~
good idea, I think I will do the same! :)
Great idea,why put the mat away. I like it😊
This has been the hardest practice yet! I have such a hard time slowing down. Thanks for the reminder and by the end of the video I was totally relaxed! Thank you, Adriene! 🙏
I’m here to comment that my benji obsession increases every single practice. Love you guys!
Good morning to my yoga family. Excellent practice. We all deserve these stretches and self love, especially when we're always on the go. Blessings to you Adriene. Love sweet Benji he's always on the mat with us. See you all tomorrow morning on the mat. Love always.❤❤❤
Perfectly said. Thank you 🙏🏽
Blessings and more blessings.
I've really been struggling with my mental health this month. I haven't practiced in two days but didn't want to let another day pass. I checked what day 8 had in store and knowing it was a floor practice lined up perfectly with the day I've had. I've struggled to stay out of my bed aside from a little walk, and allowed myself to take the pressure off fitting in the practice by saving it for bed time. I didn't force myself to the mat, I just did it in bed because that's all I could today.
It's 12:34am and I've just finished, I'm grateful for the suggestion of tenderness. I feel so tender at the moment, and I'm happy to be in touch with those feelings, no matter how sensitive they are.
Thanks Adriene.
❤
A simple practice with such profound takeaways for everyday life! Thank you, Adriene, for the reminder to embrace tenderness and the beauty of slowing down to rest
Well said, thank you for sharing your reflection 🙏
I felt emotional as we started the precious burrito pose. I came in to the practice after refilling our bird feeder and watching the birds come right when I was done filling it from our window. I have a fireplace on. I am amazed at the impact of this practice. It was gold, and more. Thank you, from the bottom of my love-filled cup. :)
Thanks for sharing that moment with the birds, the sense of peace transmitted through your words 🙏
@@Sonification thank you for the kindness ❤️
❤ I am commenting daily to support my journey in observing what goes on in me during yoga & then writing if time allows. Today was spectacular ❤ I tend to hold stress & today's practice helped me to notice that. Thank you, Adriene & all who are practicing along side me.
It’s been a rough several months for my family and today was a particularly challenging day for me. This was just what I needed today. Thank you so much for this gift. 💖
My birthday flow. Exactly what I needed! Happy Day 8 everyone!
Happy birthday dear! ♥️🥰✨✨✨
I just brough my cat back from the vet after she had 5 teeth extracted. She's on pain meds and post anesthesia and I am always a bundle of anxiety when she's not herself. This relaxing practice and the guidance to be tender to myself came at the best time. I set up my mat next to her on the bed so I could keep a watchful eye
Day 8 OBLITERATE!! ... any tension or resistance I had going into this practice.
8 is definitely my favorite in these series. It's easy to get caught up in energy and activity but not always easy to carve out time for intentional rest and recovery. Everyone needs to turn into jelly every once in a while.
"Everyone needs to turn into jelly every once in a while." Well said! And agreed 🙌
These particular days are beautiful little gems during the journey. Thank you !!!! Still on track 💪🏽
Dear, sweet Adriene- Thank you for sharing yoga with the world, and with me today. What a beautiful gift you are. I love exploring the world of yoga with you, and hearing your kind voice and beautiful insights. Namaste, friend! ❤
This was marvelous...abs decidedly were sore, such a wonderful feeling. Thank you for today's loving practice ❤️ 🙏
Love love love these relaxing practices! Benji and huis blanket made me laugh. Noticed I’m still quite stiff, and during butterfly pose I got a cramp in my left foot. Ah well, it’s all good! Ending in burrito pose felt nice. Namaste everyone!
That was gorgeous. Thank you. As you said Benji had a starring role. He looks so chilled out. I saved this for early evening today instead of first thing, and it was a good choice. Aiming to be up bright and early for tomorrow though. Thanks. A chilled out Sue, New Forest, UK 🙏
Thankyou Adrienne 😊
You are a true gift in my life.
So grateful to be part of YWA.
Lots of love 😘
Thank you and lots of love and energy for Adriene and sweet Benji and all practicing ❤❤❤Namaste 🙏
Adriene, I wanted to personally say thank you.
Thank you for all that you do with this channel, and thank you for always being there for me on this journey known as life.
In the past, I dabbled with yoga but never had a consistent practice.
Two years ago, today, in the midst of severe postpartum depression, I decided to start yoga again, determined to make it stick and see if it would help alleviate the noise in my mind. As I wrapped up today's practice, I beamed with pride at how far I've come.
Yes, life is still messy, and I've missed days (or weeks), but I still show up the best I can, knowing that yoga is always there for me.
The growth I've seen in myself over these last two years has been amazing.
You've been there with me through losses that left me crying on my mat in the middle of a flow, to moments of pure joy at the things I've been able to achieve through this practice, and everything in between.
I hope you know how much of an impact you have on all of us, and I will always be in awe of what you've created.
Thank you, truly, for all that you do 💜
This was such a lovely start to the day - going forth feeling cared for. Many thanks to this community - I love checking in with the comments after 🌞
Perfect timing today my 6 Month old is sick and i was feeling overwhelmed this was therapeutic to say the least❤❤❤
A lovely way to end my very stressful day - practicing relaxing with over 4K of this wonderful community (and getting to watch Benjiwith his blanket) is priceless
The break I didn't know I needed. There are currently so many things on my to do list which makes it easy to forget that we should relax from time to time. Thank you and everyone who was with me for this yummy practice. I hope you have a lovely Day 8! ❤
Blessed Beloved Beauties! I made it to the mat for Day - 8 at 11:15 P.M. The session soothed my soul. It is a great practice right before bedtime. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤️🦋
Wow. I feel like my nervous system benefitted from today's practice. Lovely to think tender thoughts about myself. ❤❤
I can't get enough of Benji and his blanket! My dog saw me get my blanket and spent the session on the floor with me. 😊
It's raining hard this morning, making it a little difficult to get out of bed this morning. What a cozy way to start the morning-with the perfect combination of today's sequence and the rain in the background. I'm so thankful for this practice today. 💓
I'm a few days behind, but I'm on still on track. Grace. Only Grace. Especially for Self. I LOVED this practice.
My legs and abs are still aching from previous days and it feels good! Day 8 perfect practise to relax in the evening and Benji with his little blanket ❤ pure cuteness!!
This was sooo cozy. Also Benji truly did steal the show. I love when my dog walks around with a towel or blanket on his back. so cute.
You know you're gonna have a good stretch when the blanket comes out! Feeling great after Day 8! 🥰
Agree AND especially when you can wrap up like a burrito
Needed a slow start today as we're all back to school and work. Lovely way to start the day. Thank you ❤
19:02 "And just notice, what are you feeling?" ... A warmth in my chest, a sense of inner peace and contentedness, and the sensation of a tiny dog resting on my legs 😂
“ if you have a pillow or a blanket you’d like to bring”
Girl i brought my entire bed for this ❤
Same girl
Started today with rubbish sleep. Issues with my eyes which have been on-going for a long time flaring up again. I was stressed about it and about going to the doctor and got the notification saying relax and thought to myself, sorry Adriene im not sure ill manage that today yet here i am in the evening with new medication, new hope and an intact daily streak. This is my first time doing anything like this. Im sure im doing things wrong but im really enjoying it. Thank you Adriene and to all joining in and especially my amazing friend who introduced me to this. If youre reading this you know who you are and you are wonderful ❤
Such a kind practice. Reading all the comments it seems that everyone responds to that kindness. Have a kind day everyone ❤
To be more kind is my New Year’s resolution so perfect today, have a kind day too ❤xx
And you, Alison
Literally every time I come this practice you have planned exactly what I can handle. It's feeling very magical for me. Thank you for taking the time to practice caring for ourselves together, and for sharing such caring space with us. You are an absolute gem.
Who else absolutely adores Adriene? 🥰🙌 Love and light 💙🌟
This was so beautiful, and Benji has such a sense of calm that is wondrous 😍😍
Flow Day 8:01:24✅ Relax....This felt so warm with soft release. and went by fast. Thank you Adriene and all that practice with me...I'm here, we're here and ready to thrive into week 2.... sending love to all, take care and see you tomorrow. Namaste❤❤️🙏🏾
Hugs to you too
@@hannalofman2444 💕😊. I hope to see you again Hannah
