I jumped ahead here on the 11th to Wonder day 27. First time practicing this foundation video. I will need to revisit as my half moons were clumsy. 1163 days.
I've been doing yoga with Adriene for a long while and this was the first time for me too learning half moon. I too was pretty clumsy and will have to revisit this to experience the progress. There is always more to learn and experience with yoga which is why I enjoy it so much and keep returning to my mat!@@CeciliaKautzman
Definitely a tricky one for me, as someone who has never done half moon pose, I think I did well. I did keep falling out of the pose, and at one point I fell onto my bed. 😂 I did have a good laugh when that happened. But all in all I did enjoy this foundations practice, though I don't recommend eating lunch before hand, I did end up feeling a little sick at one point in the practice. I will be returning to this one in the future, it's a very good yoga practice, thank you Adriene. Namaste. 🙏💚
Wonder day 27. I don't really like foundation practices but I just decided to follow the calendar and I realized it's not that easy 😅. I'm definitely coming back to this practice. Namaste🙏
NEW EPISODE!!! Learn the Foundations of Half Moon Pose! Deepen your practice. Stretch and Strengthen! Reduce STRESS hormones. Find What Feels Good! #yoga #yogaathome #yogapractice #yogawithadriene
Completed Day 13 of the 2022 Yoga-Challenge and wanted more input on half-moon-pose. This video - though 8 years old - is still appreciated. Btw: it's really moving watching the younger version of an awesome yoga-teacher!
WONDER ❄ | December 27, 2023 | This was my very first time coming across this foundations video, and it's one I definitely need as I always struggle with Half Moon. My balance was more solid on my right side today, but this breakdown was very helpful in building a stronger pose! 🙏
Great tutorial. The pose felt great on the right hand side but the left side needs some more work. I guess I need to pause and spend a bit more time on the left. Thanks for the tips!
Wow! My outside glute muscles are weak and this pose highlighted the what is required to perform this movement well. Another eye-opening eye-opener that is both inspiring and humbling as well. Thank-you again Adriene for leading me down the garden path! 🙏⚘🙏
I've always struggled with (and dreaded) half moon but mastering it will be my focus for next week! Thanks Adriene for these videos, the foundation of yoga series is so helpful when learning new poses 👌❤️
What I find so amazing is learning to let go of fear and trust. I am sure that I have always believed that I have done that in my life, but I am discovering now that that is not the case. I have recently however through having completed the 21-day Yoga Challenge on One Commune and being exposed to other wonderful yogis as yourself Adriene that foundation is key and above all not being afraid to do the poses and trust that your body can do it, especially when being shown the correct way. Through that challenge and now with your foundation videos and particularly with this pose, it felt great to have my body hinge forward, turn, and enjoy the stretch, knowing that with the correct hand, head, and foot placement and the mind of trusting that my body can do the pose, wow, it for me, is life-changing. I woke up today ready to face the world and feeling particularly determined to not allow fear to poison my mind, and it surely helps one towards endeavors in life, even yoga poses, believe that. I thank God and again thank you. This was a marvelous stretch, each side. Jai Namaste🙏🏽💖💐
New Years Resolution 2023 365 Days of Yoga with Adriene Completed! Thank you Adriene for all your wonderful and inspiring videos! Happy New Year Everyone,
This feels so great! warmed up with the hero pose and goddess pose, wonderful to learn these poses in detail and at a slower pace, taking the time to sink in and stretch well. Your videos really help me prepare for long sessions of homework and getting better results! Thank you.
This felt wonderful, loved the slow pace pose, so appreciative of younger self Adriene. Thank you,😅❣️ Wonder Day 29:12:23✅ anazing 🧘🏾♀️as always. Pleasant evening to you all. Namaste❤️🙏🏽
Another great video lesson focused on just one pose. Me gusta mucho. Even though I'm by no means very strong or advanced at yoga, I can do Half Moon, especially if I only hold it for a few breaths, and then bend the upper leg and catch it with the upper hand. That makes the whole thing easier, for me at least, and I can hold that for another few slow breaths.
Omg cueing the grounded arm outside the small toe has made the difference for me thank u so much was focusing on aligning my grounded arm with the center of my three toes hence losing my balance a lot and thought I had issues with my glutes now it's just a breeze :)
We just found your channel. We really need the foundations to learn proper alignment and pose positions. THIS IS AN AWESOME collection of poses. Thank you so much for doing this series!
Just stumbled across your channel the other week after it was suggested I try some yoga to alleviate some of the back pain I get with arthritis. I'm hooked & have to say I'm already feeling some benefits. Thank you for sharing your expertise :-)
Adriene just a fan comment. I think you are utterly amazing, I love your videos you explain everything so clearly and show it step by step so even a newbie to yoga like myself don't feel overly petrified to try new things. I wish you all the best! x I hope people share and like your videos more because you definitely are an inspirational yogi.
Hi! I really appreciate this. It is nice to get all kinds of feedback but truly wonderful to feel like we are spreading the love through the channel. So, thank you! Enjoy your practice and stick with it! xooxo
Really really cool. Found it easier to no on my left side than right but maybe it was because I was really aiming for integrity in the form. Thank you so much.
Half-moon!!!! Dreams do come true!!!! Thank you Adriene!!!! So much energy going on right now, can't keep up. Gonna channel them through this asana instead :D More power!! * Shanti! Shanti! *
Love the balances - they show me what is lacking in my life. Quick question. Which is better - to have both hands on the floor, one leg off the floor and straight then working on gaining confidence to remove one hand **or** one hand on the floor, the other pointing up (so arms in in "correct" position) and have both feet on the floor working on gaining strength to lift the back leg? Thanks
What tips do you have for maintaining balance? I'm just getting back into yoga, and I'm finding it hard to do some of the poses without falling over...
I've just subscribed to your channel and i love it! I have a question, can yoga keep you fully fit? As in cardiovascular, I read contrasting reports all over the Internet! Thanks
Adriene: First of all, kudos to building such a great yoga blog, I think yours is the best I have seen amongst TH-cam...others either got to fast, or are not so thorough in instructing you how to do poses. ANYWAY, I had a terrible time with this video (I think it was mostly because I had just worked out before, and I havent for a while... as well as done any yoga...yes, I have been neglecting it alot, with work and school :,[ So ... I had a few questions after doing this video... what poses can I do to work on balance (I have always had terrible balance anyway!), and my hips creaked and cracked a lot... is this normal? It may just be because I havent done yoga for awhile. Also, I was wondering if you had any books to recommend, even if they were ones you had to get for yoga school---book(s) that would show the different foundations of yoga, poses, and what they are useful for (like for example, some poses are good for digestion, inflammation, sleepytime, waking up, building muscle, detoxing, etc.) Thanks for being great! Wish I could take your class in person, cause I totally would! :] Autumn
Hi Adriene! I really enjoy your videos. I have a question about Half Moon - I frequently experience really intense pain in the hip of my supporting leg while trying this pose out. The best my yoga teachers have been able to do is offer pose modifications (where I'm on my knee instead of foot) which work out fine, but I was wondering if you've heard of this problem before or have any insight into what might be causing it. I think this pose is just not right for my body, but I'm curious if there's something I can do differently. Thanks!
Well, first of all, way to listen to your body. Kudos for that! I think you might try practicing against a wall to take some of the weight out of that standing leg- as an experiment. Also practice with a chair instead of a block (put your hand on the chair instead of the earth or block) and keep that standing leg bent (not locked) and see if we cannot begin to soften and open that hip. Let me know what you think....
This has always been my challenge, and still working on it. Perhaps practicing a very open chest in triangle pose, as well as different twists (twisting prayer in chair pose, wide leg hamstring stetch w/twist), along with warrior 3. Good luck, keep up the practice :D
Adriene, how do I e-mail you or get a hold of you? I purchased reboot a few days ago, I have on my bank account that the money was taken out but I cannot access the videos!
I sometimes love this pose, but sometimes when I'm spending more time on it, going slow, my standing foot turns and rolls onto its outer edge, and then I lose my balance. any advice?
I love the Foundations of Yoga videos. Thankyou for today, Adriene xxx
A lovely yoga episode on my new mat!
wow whee WONDER ful back to basic video

Oh man, my body just barely remembers doing sidekicks in TKD when I do this from many many years ago. Day 302 of the current run.
Enjoying it - and my cat observes me with great interest

Amazing! After attempting for several weeks, I finally nailed the pose thanks to you.
It's hard without a block
Thank you, Adriene. Your videos really helped me relax and build up strength. Thank you very much!

I really love your videos, you're very articulate and make yoga (for me - a beginner) manageable! Your naturalness is a joy to watch! 💜
"Ta-da...sana!" You make me smile!
This really works for flat feet i have really big flat feet. And by day 2 my feet are stronger and stronger. GO GO yoga
this is the one loga pose that gives me difficulty :)
This loga pose is tough - but it is fun to see it grow! xoxoxo
pro trick : watch series on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Gideon Judah Yup, been using KaldroStream for years myself :D
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, I actually did it :O And it used to be very non-friendly pose to me! BTW. Loved the "distressed jeans" part, lol :D
I love the dance break! Moar!!!
Another first time....Dec 29, 2023....Vshred day off....M2 starts in a couple days..
ta-daa-sanaaa :) !!! you ROCK!!! x

I always have to turn in my standing foot slightly. I cant keep it straight as in triangle. Is that a problem?
❤❤
What tips do you have for maintaining balance? I'm just getting back into yoga, and I'm finding it hard to do some of the poses without falling over...
Day 418 in books ❤️
I love your videos. Could you please do a dancers pose for beginners video?
I've just subscribed to your channel and i love it! I have a question, can yoga keep you fully fit? As in cardiovascular, I read contrasting reports all over the Internet! Thanks
Yes! Sun Salutations alone do wonders! xoox
Yoga With Adriene Thanks so much :)

Is its possible to do it without your hands off the ground basically just with your legs and core that would be awesome
Thanks adriene!
With pleasure M!
Inspirational.
Thanks once again adriana. Haha my bad its a mexican thing. But really can i join the class i need silencio and just down time with yoga.
I'm just going to say YES. Yes. Because when you arrive on your mat you can work to find that peace my friend! Love.

I could do this fairly easily standing on my right leg... but couldn’t lift my leg at all when standing on my left leg! Does anyone know why this is?
✔
Struggling with this one! I do ok until I lift my arm in the air. Then I topple over. Any tips?
This has always been my challenge, and still working on it. Perhaps practicing a very open chest in triangle pose, as well as different twists (twisting prayer in chair pose, wide leg hamstring stetch w/twist), along with warrior 3. Good luck, keep up the practice :D
Hey how can i sign up for a class im not doing so great solo. Need help haha no but really. Jerry o austin. Thanks.
Have you seen the beginners playlist? Its great to practice at home! Not sure what you are asking- can you clarify? I want to help! :)
As always, amazing! Thak you A
Rock it out G! Namaste!
Clearly, yoga doesn't cure ADHD [5:22] ;-)
Adriene, how do I e-mail you or get a hold of you? I purchased reboot a few days ago, I have on my bank account that the money was taken out but I cannot access the videos!
:( my balance was so off today. Didnt get to so this one very well
Think Ausitn is Yoga City can See many Instructions from there
:)
I sometimes love this pose, but sometimes when I'm spending more time on it, going slow, my standing foot turns and rolls onto its outer edge, and then I lose my balance. any advice?
I am sorry... couldn't help but notice.. You are cute-r than our old videos. Whats the secret?
Thanks for the video. Good tips for Chandrasana.
Let's do some loga haha
