I almost cried today during your video. I haven't practiced yoga in years and being a very obese individual I have been hyping myself up to practice yoga again and to take it seriously to help my emotional and physical health. I had to modify everything, and I mean everything, but the release of tension through my body has been profound. I have been subscribed to your channel for months hoping to one day take the first step back into my health and today was the lucky day. And I am just so freaking proud of myself. Thank you Adrienne, you can really feel the non judgmental environment you have created here on YT and I am excited to grow with you within 2020 now. 🙏
@@frankjuuh it has been a rough 2020 for everyone but I am still doing yoga pretty much every week. Sometimes I can only do it once a week due to time constraints and sometimes I can do the three day a week goal I originally set. Still a staple in my life.
@@ayaya64 Nice, that's good to hear! It's important to keep something like this up to maintain some normalcy, huh. For me it kinda feels like a quiet moment in the storm that is this pandemic. Stay strong.
The thing is… I’m 36 and I started yoga with Adriene in my mid 20s. I genuinely have so much love for this woman and what I have learned. My relationship with my body and my breath. Every time I come back to the practice after it’s been some time I learn something different because I don’t always need the same thing, but somehow she has a way of guiding me there. And the thing that gets me MOST is that even though I can’t even put into words what she has done for me, there are literally MILLIONS of people who she has done the same with. Best yet 10 years later and she is still the exact same guiding force she was then. All my love to this woman, eternally grateful.
They said it takes up to 21 days to build a habit, today is my 21st day of daily practice 🧘 this is my life now and I love every piece of it. If you are reading this love yourself deeply 💕
When asked how it felt to take time out for myself, I quietly whispered “It feels good” and then promptly started crying because I’ve neglected myself for so long. But here I am, showing up for myself and it’s really in part because of Adriene. 💗
Thank you Adriene. My father had a stroke attack 2days ago, I was in the hospital feeling guilty that I didn't have courage to convince my dad to do yoga, walking or any fitness activity for that matter. My father retired from military 8 years ago and had been sedantary since then. I will overcoming my fear and talk to him to go along with him on morning walks. I will have to get up early around 5:30am when he wakes up. Thank you all the YWA community & hope you all be well and fit too. Lots of love
Wonder day 10 - today was the first time I could do tree pose with my foot above my knee, and I was shocked when we switched legs and I found I could do both sides! I definitely found some joy in celebrating on my mat while trying not to get too distracted and lose my balance 😂🎉 wishing everyone a joyful practice today 💜
Blessed Beloved Embody Yogis! I mistakenly swapped Day 19 & 18. With that being said, "Rebirth" served me perfectly yesterday and "Yoga Joy" is exactly what I needed today after being in the hospital with my Mom for 12 hours yesterday. There's a lot to be joyous about. I am here another day and so is my Mom. Thankfully, she didn't have to pursue any procedure, yet the hospital was backed up and trying a new system that caused their schedules to be off by hours. Now, Mom did have an invasive test which requires she takes it easy for at least a week. I needed this practice today to remind myself of the many things to be joyous about. Namaste & Ase! 🦋❤🦋
Wonder day 10. I don't know how but this video always leaves me smiling at the end. Always. No matter how bad my day had been. I hope it does the same to everyone. Have a great day. Namaste🙏
Day One Delight! I am so grateful I have made it so far this year with the monthly calendars. Huge thank you Adriene for the journal prompts as well. You have impacted my daily life so deeply. Namaste.
Delight day 1. July 2024. Happy new month everyone🎉 This particular practice never fails to put a smile on my face. Had quite a difficult day, had a panic attack in public and here i am at the end of this practice smiling like a goofball😅. Thanks Adriene, Namaste🙏
I kept the knocking pretty light today. I hadn't really gave myself time to relax today. Honestly, taking time for myself is hard. I do, everyday, make time for myself. It is hard to truly be with myself. To just be. This is something I've noticed over the last month. Starting Celebrate, I wasn't sure it was what I needed. But, oh boy it was. Following along with September's calendar, I have learned to celebrate myself. I am trying to. Thank you, Adriene. Celebrate, day 30 💛💜💚 See you soon
I'm practicing joyfully with you all from sunny morning 🌅☀️ London UK. A de-light-ful sweet 19 mins practice to start the month of July with. How awesome to take those beautiful soft breaths well again. I am so grateful & this really got me so tearful, joyful tears😊🙏🏾 and in gratitude to be here after being unwell. Thank you Adriene and this fine community for sharing a joyful warm practice with me. Knocking on heavens door made me giggle in joy. Delight Day01:07:24✅😄🎉 Thank you and i'm all set for a Power Balance practice later today. Happy new Month and see you again 2moro, my delightful yoga buddies. Namaste😊☮️💜
I worked at a Yogasix for about 6 months and no teacher goes in depth, and detail like you do. Not that they are bad at teaching or anything but I would not have the same understanding of yoga without your videos. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you, you have helped me get through really hard times and have made me an overall more mindful, thankful person. You inspire me so much and I hope you know and feel how appreciated and loved you are. Such an amazing soul.
first day back at the mat again after a year and some illnesses. i had to pause every 5 minutes to regain my energy but im proud that i still chose to finish the video and continue my practice at my own pace. Thanks for sharing the joy, Adriene and Benj!!
Before going into this practice, I read this week's love letter by Adriene, and in it she presented some questions on which to reflect after June's theme of GET TO KNOW. It was wonderful, and I was able to see and feel the ways that I had grown and learned. Then this new theme for July (JOY) is absolutely perfect timing in my life right now! It aligned perfectly with where my thoughts and internal goals have been. And this practice was easy to be joyous during, as I found something new during plank pose that made me feel powerful and strong as I found ease in going into cobra pose, and then I was able to really let loose and find something new yet again in Knocking on Heaven's Door. It is amazing how, after years of doing yoga (even the same videos many times too!), I still find something new to serve me as I grow. Thank you! so so wonderful
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Delight Day - 2 was completed yesterday and the "Yoga Journey" of the "Delight" calendar was completed on Day - 2 instead of Day - 1. It was drenched at the lake practicing amongst the ants on my mat. I politely brushed them away and enjoyed the energizing, strengthening, and refreshing practice. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤️🦋
This will be my third challenge with Adriene. I am using the calendar that will guide my practices for the month of July. I loved this session! I prefer practices that run between 20-30 minutes so this was perfect for me! Thank you!
This practice made me cry. I have always been kind of skeptical about yoga during years of having body image problems and trying to lose weight. This exercise was tough, made me lose my breath a few times. But it was still connecting. Connecting to the earth, the sky, and to myself... It was not torturing my body. It was just soft, kind, good ol' movement for my soul and my body. Thank you for introducing me to this ❤
Extra thankful to be back after finishing breast cancer surgery three months ago and radiation 10 days ago. I was stage 1 and I’ll be ok. Back on the mat after a six month time out - and my theme this year has been Joy. So…Yoga Joy was extra perfect today!
Always yoga joy when this one comes around. I wish it were on our calendars more often, as it is among my favorite short flows. Nourish day 29. 421 days in a row.
that's funny because for some reason this practice doesn't sit right with me... I still got something out of it, tho. Knocking on heavensdoor never disappoints :D
Greetings my virtual yoga friend! It's always nice to see you. How did you enjoy it this time around? I really needed this today. I mistakenly swapped today's Rebirth Embody practice with this one. This was impeccable timing today. Have an awesome weekend! Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤️🦋
My family's first Christmas without my brother here who passed away on 12/18. Heavy hearts. I am so grateful for this practice this morning before starting today's prep for tonight's novena and Christmas Eve celebration. Thank you, Adriene, and the YWA community.
DELIGHT😆 - July 2024 I delight in finding the joy within my practice and following that, my life. Yoga helps me to see the many joys that are constantly surrounding us and to embrace the internal and external light. I found myself taking the time today just to play, have fun and not take myself too seriously as I felt my mental chatter started to take an unhelpful turn prior to todays practice. I needed some time to let it got, let it flow, and take some time to tap into more positive frequencies that I can use to combat the negative. FEEL JOY ATTRACT JOY🤗🤗🤗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨✨✨🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻💛💛💛💛💛 (joy is clearly yellow to me!). Namaste to my joyous yoga friends all the way from Bristol🙏💓 xx
LOVE 💗 | June 27, 2023 | Part 2 - This is a great practice for getting the blood and breath flowing but in a supportive way. I did this outside today which brought a bit more heat than usual, but feeling good and refreshed! 🙏
EMBODY | March 18, 2022 | 💞 Yes! This got the stagnant energy moving and flowing for sure! And may I say that my balancing today was on point! High five to me! 🖐 The perfect way to take us into the weekend. Remember, joy in the world = joy in ourselves, and peace in the world = peace within ourselves. It starts here. ☮❤🥰
Thank you so much Adriene, I can’t thank you enough, if I hadn’t found yoga 18months ago and started to follow you I don’t know how I would have gotten through supporting my mother through her health issues and through the last 3 weeks since her passing and the celebration of her life. I’ve brought yoga into my life on and off the mat and adopted the mantra ‘Everything is as it should be’ I’ve done your ‘Yoga for grief’ video, ‘Yoga for gut health’ and this morning ‘Yoga Joy’ finding the joy my mother left in my life. Through yoga and keeping myself happy and healthy I continue to honour the wonderful woman she was, continuing to find what feels good and letting go that which no longer serves me. Namaste 🙏
Practicing today from sunny Houston, TX. First time taking my practice on the road outside of New England. Feels fun to be in Adriene’s home state. Did this video outside in my friend’s yard facing a big beautiful tree. Feeling loved and blessed and grateful 💜🌈💜
I feel like this is gonna be a good one for what looks to be an all-day rainy day ahead. I woke at 5:00 am in the morning and it was still densely clouded, dark, and raining just as heavily as when it started last night. This practice along with a mug of hot chocolate next to a warm fireplace? well, I don't know about you but this Sunday couldn't possibly get any better. Thank you, Adriene for yet again making my day better by reminding me to appreciate the small things and find joy in my surroundings no matter the situation. In this case, trying to find joy in the rainy weather. Thank you for spreading the positive vibes. Much love. Namaste.
It’s been so many years since I had a regular yoga practice but today I woke up early and decided it was time. After 20 minutes I’m sitting here with tears of joy wondering how it’s taken so long to find my way back. Thank you.
This was just the right practice to get me moving again after having taken a couple of weeks off. The motto is you can`t change the past, what your are doing now and in the future counts. Thank you once again.
July 2024 Delight...an energizing start to this new calendar. And I chose to chuckle & find joy even as I continued to fall out of the balance poses.😇 Happy Canada Day 🍁🎆🍁
I'm so proud of myself for trying! It may be billed as "joy," but it's hard work, and I did the hard work to the best of my abilities - tree pose keeping my toes on the ground, for instance. I often shrink away from the vinyasas, the flows, but I'm trying to embrace them and use what I can do to challenge myself and feel good about what I am able to to.
Well done for giving it a go, we all do it at our own pace and least we are to quote Adriene “turning up” and the joy is that we are all encouraging each other 😊❤
Loved this yoga practice thank you Adriene, I have been seriously stressed recently in my life. This practice was just what I needed this morning to start to calm down, and calm the mental chatter that was getting louder, and louder. So thank you for helping me find the joy in life even through the stress. 😊 see you again tomorrow, Namaste my friend. 🙏❤
I"ve been having some really challenging days, feeling low and only wanting to cry for no apparent reason. I'm scared of never being able to get out of this. Today I finally had enough strength to get on the mat, knowing it would help, and of course... My body is stiff from spending too much time lying down, but this was a first step towards an actual self love practice. Thank you Adriene for this mental health playlist, and the community for all these reactions that make me feel understood and less alone.
just did this practice at 10pm never usually do it at nighttime but today was Mother’s Day in Uk and took my mum out for a meal and finished off the night to this yoga practice such a nice way to end the day , yoga fits into anytime of the day, best wishes to my yogis ❤
Embody Day 18: Man, I was hoping yesterday’s practice had brought the joy back for me but I actually checked out for tree pose today and spaced out on the ground. But as soon as knocking on heaven’s door started I popped right back up. Hopefully I find my yoga joy again.
Embody joy ... even when its hard or when one is feeling blah ... Thanks for the reminder as I/we drop onto the mat and flow Cant do toe stand or arm balance ... but I could do n focus what I can and what feels good for ME So m grateful :) Namaste and May all practising find /e embody JOY :)
Good morning Adriene. I can’t think of better way to get me going for the day than with your yoga joy session. Short, sweet, firey and filled with joy. You have a joyful day. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Adriene for this intuitive vinyasa. ☮ We're grieving the loss of our dog this week, and this was just the thing we needed to bring us back to joy. Because she was 100% pure joy. Thank you for sharing this and I'm so sorry for your loss too. May her spirit live on and visit you often. 💌
Dear Adriene- Thank you so much for being a wonderful teacher. I am in for the journey of practicing Yoga with you. Started my first Day of July with Yoga joy. Loved it. Namaste :)
Breathe day 22 - Love this practice so much! It gives me pure joy everytime. Especially knocking on heaven's door at the end is just perfect👌 Thank you Adriene, namaste🙏💘💫
I came to this practice today after a day of great joy---a day of yoga and lunch with friends, some drawing time in the studio, a nice cup of tea and Adriene. All simple joys, all the best joys. Thank you Adriene.
Celebrate Day 30 ✨✅ This marks another 30 days of yoga with Adriene for me. During stressful time, doing these practices each day grounds me and supports my well-being. Thank you Adriene and team, and thank you to everyone who comes to the mat and practice together virtually. 💕
Day 40. Thank you, Adriene and Benji, and camera person! I feel strong every day, thanks to your gift for teaching yoga, your compassion, respect, understanding, and humour. Ever grateful. ❤️
I needed this practice this morning! It’s been an extremely hard week for me. I found out that an autoimmune disease that was in remission has flared up again and is now threatening my eyesight. I am devastated. I managed to find a little joy through this practice. Thank you to Joy for inspiring it, sending my love to her family and friends, and to Adriene and team.
It's dawn. A Friday. But I'm at the lowest mood and yeap this one really bring me joy, a real joy for accepting my feelings but not to be drown in it. Yoga IS joy.
I'm in Montreal practicing. Doing HONOR month. I didn't feel a lot of joy doing this practice (having a rough day), but I'm still glad I carved out 20 minutes of my day to give it a shot.
I love the pace of this flow…I usually vibe so much with a slower pace, but 40-something days in to practicing with YWA and suddenly I could keep up. I never thought I would be so thrilled to jump into a practice after a long, long day and celebrate when I get to plank pose...but here I am! So grateful for what you share, Adriene + this community you’ve cultivated. Namaste.❤️
After a very stressfull week and weekend. I did not know what type of practice I needed. So I let the algorithm surprise me (from my mom's phone) and it did! I ususally look for practices that can make me more erfficient or at least functional as I have a lot of trouble with procrastination and mood swings! I would barely search on my own for a practice dor simply joy! But I'm glad this one appeared, today! I think I needed to laugh at myself and everything and amile for only the sake of smiling and laughing! Also it feels great that more and more often plank pose is a confy position for my body where I feel strong and at ease! Namaste! 🙏
I am so glad I found you @yogawithadriene. You are a such a gift. Every practise is a working like magic. This one really made me smile from the inside. And I love your quote (something like): front body up to the sky, back body down to the earth. Beautiful. Thank you, Adriene. Namasté.🙏🏾
Here on Day 18 Embody🍀🌸 March YWA 18/03/2022 This is just amazing Adriene 🤗💝🧘🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️& everyone. Had AM 7am done in my spring looking garden and now PM 7:44pm indoors done and having an early nite sleep. Many tx for another wind down calming practice.☺️🧘🏾♀️💝😔. Namaste to you all.🙏🏾♥️
Thank you!! I’m currently having a bit of a stressful situation going on and this not only made me feel way calmer but I also indeed experienced some joy. Love it!!
March 18 of Embody calendar 2022 Was very depressed this morning Knew I had to keep at with my daily practice no matter what Thank you Adriene for easing my tensions 🙏🏼♥️
September really flew by! This practice is short and efficient and it shows me how stable I've become in many poses that felt difficult when I was getting started :)
Practicing from the Netherlands! Had a knot of feelings in my heart and I have been chewing lot of negative thoughts these past days, and I finally felt strong enough to let go after this practice. THANKS, ADRIENE!
Here for March Embody. I teared up today during practice. Getting in touch with emotion is difficult. Yoga has a way of gently dismantling pieces of those walls I’ve put up. Today was vulnerable and scary *and* filled with joy.
Lovely practice. I don't recall ever doing the #4 shape forward fold while balancing on one leg, but it did wonders for my hip/hamstrings. I had some irritation earlier from a long walk and wasn't sure I'd be strong enough for this vinyasa session, but ending with the balancing stretch and knocking on heavens door was just what I needed. I feel a mixture of calm and joy which only Adriene can help achieve.
I started to combine sciatica stretches with this after them and…..let me tell you this is by far the best video for a light/medium core strengthening yoga practice which helps with my sciatica pain whilst I’m trying to heal it the pain goes away for at least 2 days and I repeat the same stretches after 2 days. Yin yoga helped a bit although nothing like those stretches has helped me combining it with this vinyasa flow. So thank you, it’s a miracle. ❤ I’ll continue doing them and potentially adding more core base yoga to help me heal from sciatica pain…..
These practices have for me been right in sync with my holiday and other related stress level. I am grateful for my situation and really have no particular reason for feeling slightly off kilter. This months practice has been so cleansing and stabilizing and makes me feel like a different person after, magical yoga🙏🏻🎄🎅
came to this practice feeling really turmoiled. towards the end, I found myself smiling and engaged with the practice. my sad and angry feelings haven't totally lifted yet, but I feel lighter and warmed up for the day ahead. I'm grateful for giving myself this time just to check in and be good to myself. my namaste today felt like accepting myself as I am, flaws and all. Happy holidays.
I highly appreciate how well you guided this sequence Adriene. It gave me enough time to bring my body and mind to the same frequence. Have a beautiful (Sun)day fellow yogis! x
Motivate day 19. March 2023. It’s Mothers’ Day in Ireland and it hasn’t stopped raining all day. This was a good practice for today although my balance was bad. Lovely to finish with Knocking on Heaven’s Door. Breathe day 22, December 2022. First day of the Christmas break. It was busy. Loved this practice. Simple and fast, but enough time to check in with the body, and breathe. Celebrate day 20. September 2022. This practice was so great. I have had quite the week, finishing on a pure high. This was just what I needed to take some time for myself.
Wow, I didn't know how much I needed this practice today! I've been disconnected from my practice this last few days, but now I feel renewed and ready to face life head on. I'm grateful for this journey 💗 embody, March 2022. day 2 for me!
CELEBRATE 🎉 | September 30, 2022 | What a great way to end the Celebrate calendar with this joyful flow that gets us moving and grooving! I appreciated the glute stretch in the standing figure 4 balance sequence and feel like I shook off some dust from the work week to go lightly into the weekend. See everyone tomorrow for Play! 🙏🧘♀
Every time I do one of your yoga classes I can’t help but feel weightless and immensely grateful afterwards no matter what I was feeling before, thank you!
Sometimes I wake up and choose whatever practice of yours yt recommends. I'm glad today was one of those days. This practice was exactly what I needed to head into 2022!

Wow congratulations! Keep up enjoying yourself!

Always yoga joy when this one comes around. I wish it were on our calendars more often, as it is among my favorite short flows.
Nourish day 29. 421 days in a row.
that's funny because for some reason this practice doesn't sit right with me... I still got something out of it, tho. Knocking on heavensdoor never disappoints :D
@@johannafrog2684 I think it is because my bad attitude this year regarding warrior poses seems not to be present on this one at all.
Greetings my virtual yoga friend! It's always nice to see you. How did you enjoy it this time around? I really needed this today. I mistakenly swapped today's Rebirth Embody practice with this one. This was impeccable timing today. Have an awesome weekend! Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤️🦋
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 Always glad to practice this one.
@@williamb7275 Ah, yes! 😉🦋❤🦋
My family's first Christmas without my brother here who passed away on 12/18. Heavy hearts. I am so grateful for this practice this morning before starting today's prep for tonight's novena and Christmas Eve celebration. Thank you, Adriene, and the YWA community.
Thinking of you-take it easy. Merry Christmas
DELIGHT😆 - July 2024
I delight in finding the joy within my practice and following that, my life.
Yoga helps me to see the many joys that are constantly surrounding us and to embrace the internal and external light. I found myself taking the time today just to play, have fun and not take myself too seriously as I felt my mental chatter started to take an unhelpful turn prior to todays practice. I needed some time to let it got, let it flow, and take some time to tap into more positive frequencies that I can use to combat the negative. FEEL JOY ATTRACT JOY🤗🤗🤗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨✨✨✨✨🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻💛💛💛💛💛 (joy is clearly yellow to me!). Namaste to my joyous yoga friends all the way from Bristol🙏💓 xx
LOVE 💗 | June 27, 2023 | Part 2 - This is a great practice for getting the blood and breath flowing but in a supportive way. I did this outside today which brought a bit more heat than usual, but feeling good and refreshed! 🙏
EMBODY | March 18, 2022 | 💞 Yes! This got the stagnant energy moving and flowing for sure! And may I say that my balancing today was on point! High five to me! 🖐 The perfect way to take us into the weekend. Remember, joy in the world = joy in ourselves, and peace in the world = peace within ourselves. It starts here. ☮❤🥰
"if you feel like a goofball, you are doing it right" is my new mantra !
💕 me too 😊
And, ‘stop fidgeting’. Classic.
Thank you so much Adriene, I can’t thank you enough, if I hadn’t found yoga 18months ago and started to follow you I don’t know how I would have gotten through supporting my mother through her health issues and through the last 3 weeks since her passing and the celebration of her life. I’ve brought yoga into my life on and off the mat and adopted the mantra ‘Everything is as it should be’ I’ve done your ‘Yoga for grief’ video, ‘Yoga for gut health’ and this morning ‘Yoga Joy’ finding the joy my mother left in my life. Through yoga and keeping myself happy and healthy I continue to honour the wonderful woman she was, continuing to find what feels good and letting go that which no longer serves me. Namaste 🙏
Just did this video and love looking through the recent comments after and this comment warmed my heart well done to everything you’ve done❤
@@v49795 Thank you. Adriene has our back no matter how we feel when we come to the mat.❤💔
Practicing today from sunny Houston, TX. First time taking my practice on the road outside of New England. Feels fun to be in Adriene’s home state. Did this video outside in my friend’s yard facing a big beautiful tree. Feeling loved and blessed and grateful 💜🌈💜
I feel like this is gonna be a good one for what looks to be an all-day rainy day ahead. I woke at 5:00 am in the morning and it was still densely clouded, dark, and raining just as heavily as when it started last night. This practice along with a mug of hot chocolate next to a warm fireplace? well, I don't know about you but this Sunday couldn't possibly get any better. Thank you, Adriene for yet again making my day better by reminding me to appreciate the small things and find joy in my surroundings no matter the situation. In this case, trying to find joy in the rainy weather. Thank you for spreading the positive vibes. Much love. Namaste.
That honestly sounds so, so cozy! Have a great day.
That sounds perfect, Shadan. Namaste, dear! xx
Wow, that sounds amazing! I’d now like a rainy holiday day because it all sounds so calming :Dd Such a great attitude towards rain!🥰
Woke up to little snow on the ground this morning. This was a wonderful way to start the day, I'm awake and ready for the day!
Namaste!
Good morning to July 2024! Thank you Adriene for all your generous offereings - a great start to the day.
It’s been so many years since I had a regular yoga practice but today I woke up early and decided it was time. After 20 minutes I’m sitting here with tears of joy wondering how it’s taken so long to find my way back. Thank you.
This was just the right practice to get me moving again after having taken a couple of weeks off. The motto is you can`t change the past, what your are doing now and in the future counts. Thank you once again.
July 2024 Delight...an energizing start to this new calendar. And I chose to chuckle & find joy even as I continued to fall out of the balance poses.😇
Happy Canada Day 🍁🎆🍁
Happy canada day! 🇨🇦
Honoring all the light that graces this world
I'm so proud of myself for trying! It may be billed as "joy," but it's hard work, and I did the hard work to the best of my abilities - tree pose keeping my toes on the ground, for instance. I often shrink away from the vinyasas, the flows, but I'm trying to embrace them and use what I can do to challenge myself and feel good about what I am able to to.
💜🙏
Well done for giving it a go, we all do it at our own pace and least we are to quote Adriene “turning up” and the joy is that we are all encouraging each other 😊❤
Wow, another cleanse for our bodies. I'm really feeling joyful. Thanks very much, Adriene ,Benji, and my yoga family. Love you all. ❤️ Namaste ❤.
Loved this yoga practice thank you Adriene, I have been seriously stressed recently in my life. This practice was just what I needed this morning to start to calm down, and calm the mental chatter that was getting louder, and louder. So thank you for helping me find the joy in life even through the stress. 😊 see you again tomorrow, Namaste my friend. 🙏❤
Grateful for the reminders to breathe, to smile, to clear the mental chatter, to experience joy in the moment.
I"ve been having some really challenging days, feeling low and only wanting to cry for no apparent reason. I'm scared of never being able to get out of this. Today I finally had enough strength to get on the mat, knowing it would help, and of course... My body is stiff from spending too much time lying down, but this was a first step towards an actual self love practice. Thank you Adriene for this mental health playlist, and the community for all these reactions that make me feel understood and less alone.
just did this practice at 10pm never usually do it at nighttime but today was Mother’s Day in Uk and took my mum out for a meal and finished off the night to this yoga practice such a nice way to end the day , yoga fits into anytime of the day, best wishes to my yogis ❤
Embody Day 18: Man, I was hoping yesterday’s practice had brought the joy back for me but I actually checked out for tree pose today and spaced out on the ground. But as soon as knocking on heaven’s door started I popped right back up. Hopefully I find my yoga joy again.
Embody joy ... even when its hard or when one is feeling blah ...
Thanks for the reminder as I/we drop onto the mat and flow
Cant do toe stand or arm balance ... but I could do n focus what I can and what feels good for ME
So m grateful :)
Namaste and May all practising find /e embody JOY :)
Good morning Adriene. I can’t think of better way to get me going for the day than with your yoga joy session. Short, sweet, firey and filled with joy. You have a joyful day. Thank you 🙏
I concur Joan. Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤️🦋
Thank you Adriene for this intuitive vinyasa. ☮ We're grieving the loss of our dog this week, and this was just the thing we needed to bring us back to joy. Because she was 100% pure joy. Thank you for sharing this and I'm so sorry for your loss too. May her spirit live on and visit you often. 💌
This is such a beautiful comment - I'm so sorry for your loss and so happy you reconnected to your joy to honour your dog's memory 💜💜💜
Thank you Adrienne for making me feel calm in a world that has been so chaotic, they’ve been a great escape during these last few weeks ♥️
I have used this video before and I found joy practicing with it again! Forever grateful!
Beautiful and timeless. Thank you Adriene. Thank you Yoga with Adriene community. Namaste 🙏🏽
A month well celebrated, so grateful ,with a heavens door smile 🌝
I like knocking on heaven’s door as I can really get into it now! Thank you!!🙏🙏
Dear Adriene- Thank you so much for being a wonderful teacher. I am in for the journey of practicing Yoga with you. Started my first Day of July with Yoga joy. Loved it. Namaste :)
Breathe day 22 - Love this practice so much! It gives me pure joy everytime. Especially knocking on heaven's door at the end is just perfect👌 Thank you Adriene, namaste🙏💘💫
Same, friend! Just adore this one.
I came to this practice today after a day of great joy---a day of yoga and lunch with friends, some drawing time in the studio, a nice cup of tea and Adriene. All simple joys, all the best joys. Thank you Adriene.
Celebrate Day 30 ✨✅ This marks another 30 days of yoga with Adriene for me. During stressful time, doing these practices each day grounds me and supports my well-being. Thank you Adriene and team, and thank you to everyone who comes to the mat and practice together virtually. 💕
Day 40. Thank you, Adriene and Benji, and camera person! I feel strong every day, thanks to your gift for teaching yoga, your compassion, respect, understanding, and humour. Ever grateful. ❤️
I needed this practice this morning! It’s been an extremely hard week for me. I found out that an autoimmune disease that was in remission has flared up again and is now threatening my eyesight. I am devastated. I managed to find a little joy through this practice. Thank you to Joy for inspiring it, sending my love to her family and friends, and to Adriene and team.
It's dawn. A Friday. But I'm at the lowest mood and yeap this one really bring me joy, a real joy for accepting my feelings but not to be drown in it. Yoga IS joy.
Thank you for sharing the mat...from 광주!
@@williamb7275 안녕하세요 광주!!!
I'm in Montreal practicing. Doing HONOR month. I didn't feel a lot of joy doing this practice (having a rough day), but I'm still glad I carved out 20 minutes of my day to give it a shot.
I love the pace of this flow…I usually vibe so much with a slower pace, but 40-something days in to practicing with YWA and suddenly I could keep up. I never thought I would be so thrilled to jump into a practice after a long, long day and celebrate when I get to plank pose...but here I am! So grateful for what you share, Adriene + this community you’ve cultivated. Namaste.❤️
Knocking on Heaven's Door and airplane arms are some of my favorite elements in your videos! Joy and peace to everyone! Thank you!
Day 18 of EMBODY. Beautiful start to the day with JOY!
I did day one! In Melbourne, AUS. Thank you for being here Adriene!
Thank you for all the reminders of self ❤️
What a beautiful way to start the day, week, and month! Thank you.🙏 ❤
Happy July everyone!🌻 Thank you, sweet Adriene, for this joyful session. It worked its magic. 😊
After a very stressfull week and weekend. I did not know what type of practice I needed. So I let the algorithm surprise me (from my mom's phone) and it did! I ususally look for practices that can make me more erfficient or at least functional as I have a lot of trouble with procrastination and mood swings! I would barely search on my own for a practice dor simply joy! But I'm glad this one appeared, today! I think I needed to laugh at myself and everything and amile for only the sake of smiling and laughing! Also it feels great that more and more often plank pose is a confy position for my body where I feel strong and at ease! Namaste! 🙏
I am so glad I found you @yogawithadriene. You are a such a gift. Every practise is a working like magic. This one really made me smile from the inside. And I love your quote (something like): front body up to the sky, back body down to the earth. Beautiful. Thank you, Adriene. Namasté.🙏🏾
Liked this one so much yesterday-practicing it again today!
I usually don't like to do yoga at home but this was amazing! I am feeling super relaxed now and - even better - excited to keep practicing yoga!!
Here on Day 18 Embody🍀🌸 March YWA 18/03/2022
This is just amazing Adriene 🤗💝🧘🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️& everyone.
Had AM 7am done in my spring looking garden and now PM 7:44pm indoors done and having an early nite sleep. Many tx for another wind down calming practice.☺️🧘🏾♀️💝😔. Namaste to you all.🙏🏾♥️
Thank you!! I’m currently having a bit of a stressful situation going on and this not only made me feel way calmer but I also indeed experienced some joy. Love it!!
March 18 of Embody calendar 2022
Was very depressed this morning
Knew I had to keep at with my daily practice no matter what
Thank you Adriene for easing my tensions
🙏🏼♥️
September really flew by! This practice is short and efficient and it shows me how stable I've become in many poses that felt difficult when I was getting started :)
Yay! I'm glad to hear that Giantus! Yeah, September did fly by. I really appreciate this session. 🙏🏿
Practicing from the Netherlands! Had a knot of feelings in my heart and I have been chewing lot of negative thoughts these past days, and I finally felt strong enough to let go after this practice. THANKS, ADRIENE!
Here for March Embody. I teared up today during practice. Getting in touch with emotion is difficult. Yoga has a way of gently dismantling pieces of those walls I’ve put up. Today was vulnerable and scary *and* filled with joy.
Here's to feeling emotions. Namaste.
Lovely practice. I don't recall ever doing the #4 shape forward fold while balancing on one leg, but it did wonders for my hip/hamstrings. I had some irritation earlier from a long walk and wasn't sure I'd be strong enough for this vinyasa session, but ending with the balancing stretch and knocking on heavens door was just what I needed. I feel a mixture of calm and joy which only Adriene can help achieve.
been struggling to get back into yoga after a few years hiatus... this was perfect.
I started to combine sciatica stretches with this after them and…..let me tell you this is by far the best video for a light/medium core strengthening yoga practice which helps with my sciatica pain whilst I’m trying to heal it the pain goes away for at least 2 days and I repeat the same stretches after 2 days. Yin yoga helped a bit although nothing like those stretches has helped me combining it with this vinyasa flow. So thank you, it’s a miracle. ❤ I’ll continue doing them and potentially adding more core base yoga to help me heal from sciatica pain…..
These practices have for me been right in sync with my holiday and other related stress level. I am grateful for my situation and really have no particular reason for feeling slightly off kilter. This months practice has been so cleansing and stabilizing and makes me feel like a different person after, magical yoga🙏🏻🎄🎅
came to this practice feeling really turmoiled. towards the end, I found myself smiling and engaged with the practice. my sad and angry feelings haven't totally lifted yet, but I feel lighter and warmed up for the day ahead. I'm grateful for giving myself this time just to check in and be good to myself. my namaste today felt like accepting myself as I am, flaws and all. Happy holidays.
I highly appreciate how well you guided this sequence Adriene. It gave me enough time to bring my body and mind to the same frequence. Have a beautiful (Sun)day fellow yogis! x
Wow this time went super fast this morning! Thank you so much Adriene
Motivate day 19. March 2023. It’s Mothers’ Day in Ireland and it hasn’t stopped raining all day. This was a good practice for today although my balance was bad. Lovely to finish with Knocking on Heaven’s Door.
Breathe day 22, December 2022. First day of the Christmas break. It was busy. Loved this practice. Simple and fast, but enough time to check in with the body, and breathe.
Celebrate day 20. September 2022. This practice was so great. I have had quite the week, finishing on a pure high. This was just what I needed to take some time for myself.
Hello July and with it the joy of yoga! Thank you 😊
Day after my birthday practice. I feel full of joy and energy. Thank you Adriene for your kindness and your lovely energy.
Wow, I didn't know how much I needed this practice today! I've been disconnected from my practice this last few days, but now I feel renewed and ready to face life head on. I'm grateful for this journey 💗 embody, March 2022. day 2 for me!
March 2023. Wonderfully invigorating start to the day. I loved the depth of this practice! Namaste.
Wonder Day 10 🙏
December 2023
I am full of joy ....
with plans to see both my adult children today ❤
Day 1 of Delight ❤ This was sooooo good! ❤
CELEBRATE 🎉 | September 30, 2022 | What a great way to end the Celebrate calendar with this joyful flow that gets us moving and grooving! I appreciated the glute stretch in the standing figure 4 balance sequence and feel like I shook off some dust from the work week to go lightly into the weekend. See everyone tomorrow for Play! 🙏🧘♀
Jumped out of bed and started my day with this video. Thank you Adriene. 23 days in a row.
Yay!! Well done friend.
Always struggle with balancing but glad to have a joy focused yoga practice today! Embody 2022.
Every time I do one of your yoga classes I can’t help but feel weightless and immensely grateful afterwards no matter what I was feeling before, thank you!
Love it!!!❤🤸♀️❤🤸♀️❤🧘♀️💜🙏 Third time on the calendar in the last four months for this favorite.
Embody day 18. 530 days in a row!
These practices are life changing, life savers, they really do nourish the soul, I can feel it 🥺💖
I never loved yoga until I started these videos. Now I notice a definite change in myself in days I skip yoga. I love yoga now. ❤
Sometimes I wake up and choose whatever practice of yours yt recommends. I'm glad today was one of those days. This practice was exactly what I needed to head into 2022!
Yes, thats how I do my daily yoga... whatever Adrienne yoga pops up in YT... Amazing 👏
