She’s genuinely a wonderful human being. Every morning for the last 5 years, her voice, gentle guidance, wise and funny words, as well as yoga at its best, have made a huge difference in my life and made every single day better. The ripple effect is true. Thank you so much Adriene (and Benji ! And her amazing team too) for changing my life. Gratitude is overflowing my heart ❤️ 🙏🏻 namaste
I cancelled a paid subscription yoga app because it was all show-off acrobatics clearly not designed for anyone but other show-offs, and started doing YWA. I would pay twice as much for her classes than I did for that terrible app. She makes yoga accessible for everyone from total beginners to the very experienced. There's no ego to her practice, and that's why it's so appealing.
Fully agree.. I love so much that he held space for her to share deeply without trying to rush her to the next to the next , it felt like he was genuinely listening and it made for such a great interview
I think that makes a great interviewer. Inter~view. We wanna look at what Adriene thinks and believes, so it only makes sense, to me, that the interviewer asks the questions and then let’s the interviewee's stream of consciousness flow and gives little feedback (not none). Well done. So beautiful.
@@catvega7128 I agree, but I think that many interviewers don't have the patience or ability to actually "hear" their guests' responses. I think their egos get in the way. This guy's good.
He read my comment to her 😭 I’m so happy!! I’m a nurse-turned-doctor and I’m STILL in awe of how many lives she has saved! ❤️ Made my day that comment got to her
Yes absolutely Adriene saves lives. I realize every few months (after I fall off the wagon because I don't put self-care first) that I always feel better in every way when I am doing Yoga with Adriene. No other yoga is the same. Adriene's whole approach resonates with me. Thank you Adriene. And selfishly....please never stop.
I instantly clicked. This girl is my voice. She is my church. I'm glad she realizes the power she has with her ripple effect. She saved my mentality and continues to teach me so many things.
I agree with you Sarah! Adriene has actually saved me from complete burnout, raised my selfesteem and every day I look forward to hear her beautiful calming voice and of course challenging myself to practice with yoga with intention.
Adriene embodies grace and calmness. She has the ability to show you can ground yourself and her practice teaches you acceptance to take your practice seriously while still cracking funny jokes. She is truly amazing, Namaste!
Her channel has helped me climb out a depressive episode that I thought would take me out. As I'm taking her lessons, I'm reading a book by a neuroscientist called The Body Keeps the Score, and there is a whole chapter about the healing effects of yoga. I feel so so so priviledged to have access to these classes.
I could have written your comment Savannah Barros, finding Adriene helped me out of a very dark place at the height of isolation during the pandemic. A while ago I started thinking that all my trauma had made its way into the very fibre of my body, my DNA, and all the therapy in the world couldn’t shift it. My psychologist suggested I see a spiritual healer (kinesiologist) and also that I read The Body Keeps The Score. I’m pleased to say I’m doing really well today, hope you are too! 😊
I was so ashamed of finding myself in a physically abusive relationship. Cashed in 401k, quit job, extinguished relationship with Sons. Yoga with Adriane gave me the strength to pack a backpack and find my way home. 4 states away. I have a wonderful life. Thanks to her. I owe this Angel my life.
Thank you for sharing this with us. YWA has changed my life for the better, and I think the most beautiful part of it all is the community we get to share yoga and our experiences with.
Adriene, you truly saved my life. Last year in March, I was at one of the worst places in my life. I didn't want to go any further. Back then I didn't believe in yoga, I had never even considered doing it. But one day I don't know why, but I decided to try it. My first video was the one "yoga for releasing anger". You made me feel so safe. The kind of security I was trying so desperately to find. One and a half years later, I am in a much more stable place in my life. And it all thanks to you. I am still far from being perfect, but I repeat your mantra "lots of love in, lots of love out" and things just make more sense.
deb: Your comment is an inspiration. Now I'm writing to you from February 2022 . . . I hope you are doing well, and I wish you many good things this year!
Adrienne has been there through so many emotions in my life. I've came to the mat crying, heartbroken, unconfident, happy, stressed, joyous, gassy 😂😂 and she'll never know! I remember finding her channel in 2012 at 22 and now here I am ten years later at 32 still doing her yoga 🧘♀️ 🕉 Find what feels good! 🙌
I'm also 68 and have been doing daily yoga with Adriene for the past year and 8 months! I began right when our area went into lockdown and the yoga studio I had attended twice weekly closed. I had happened upon Adriene's videos years before, but life got in the way and I never began a practice until the pandemic kept me home. Now Adriene's steady influence in my life is so reassuring, and I love the way she teaches with more intention than the fast flow classes held locally. I love her holistic attitude - running through all the reminders of which body areas to focus on during each pose. The way she varies the targeted body areas keeps me from feeling sore or overwhelmed or too challenged. Yet I've really noticed huge improvements in my flexibility and strength as time goes on. I just love doing Yoga with Adriene!!
She gives you tools to be a best friend to yourself and that's pretty magical. With the huge catalog of videos, I know I can find something that will work with me wherever I am at the moment. Need a hug? A massage? An excuse to do nothing and breath? Someone to suggest something a little weird to get out of your head? Someone just to push you a little further? It's all there. I feel so lucky to have found this gift!!!
Adriene I was there every week before, during and after your voice surgery and the black and whites were awesome. So creative. I was one of your first 100 yoga followers, so incredible to watch you through your journey. Keep up the great work. We love you.
Following her for the last 1.5 years, doing yoga at home with her every morning. I feel like I can not start my day without her. I would not be able to show the resilience during pandemic. Thanks to Adrienne and her team. You are our heros. Namaste.
Same here! Not for mental reasons, but I do it for my back. Home office is evil, but thanks to her I feel like I can keep my body healthy - and mind too!
yes, it is her voice that puts her light years ahead of others. Soothing, reassuring, comforting. It is not just her voice in a physical aspect though. Her inner tranquility and goodness shines through.
What makes her work so impactful and beautiful is she's not afraid to be vulnerable and be fully human. I love that she's not interested in perfecting yoga or performing, but simply showing up as you are. This is also what she teaches in class to simply show up exactly as you are and let that be enough but also letting that be the magic and beauty of it all.
I love what she said about wanting to make the science of it more accessible too. I do yoga mainly for mental health and have watched a few versions of "yoga for anxiety" or for stress that she has but I've always wondered like why those sequences in her classes help so much and how I could maybe replicate the sense of relief I get from those specific classes more often in my life.
I found her back in 2017 I believe. Because of her influence and the yoga, I'm down to the lowest dose blood pressure medicine. I conquered morning IBS symptoms and took my dream job as a choir director for my church. She has saved lives and improves lives. At the end of every workout I say "thank you, sweet girl". I'd claim her as my own. We're all so proud of her. Even those who dont know her personally.
I love love love love Adriene. She has saved my life when I was extremely ill and dying I used her videos in my healing process. I still do today . She is amazing.
I love her! I trained for years, did muscular weight training and yoga. then I got sick, stopped everything and couldn't get back to any of it. 7years of trying ang not following through. Thanks to Adrienne, i am now on week 9 of yoga with Adrienne everyday. I have a total of 5days off in the whole 9weeks. i am stronger, my numerous pains have dissipated (shoulders, neck, back...) I am 54 years old and my muscles remember so the positive changes have been impressive. I thought that having been away from it, it would be very long before I could see changes but I was wayyyy wrong. I am so grateful to her and her teaching method. I do a minimum of 30 min a day and many times I wind up doing more. She's even helped me sleep better. So thank you thankyou thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently got two bionic knees and am reintroducing myself to yoga. Your style of accepting where I am today in this process motivates me to continue to show up everyday. Than you for your generous and welcoming spirit. ❤️🙏🏻
What makes her so great is that she is so grounded and real! She is the first teacher that actually makes me wake up every morning to do yoga! Adriene is so real, singing, joking, making fun of herself, is like doing yoga with a friend rather than this mystic Goddess that is untouchable. She makes yoga relatable, she makes yoga accesible to ALL, she makes it fun, allows the space for us to be vulnerable and also have fun with our bodies in the comfort of our homes. I love you so much Adriene....best teacher, master, Goddess, real divine person...you are an asset to humanity.
Adriene was a turning point for me. I found her right after getting diagnosed with accute depression and I did so many 30 days of yoga and I do believe it was instrumental in my mental health getting better. I cried so many times after videos and her presence through it made me feel it was OK for me to let the emotion out. Her heart shines through so bright it is life changing
I love Adriene and Benji. I found her channel during the pandemic and have been following her yoga practice since then. I love her calm and soothing voice, esp since i grapple with anxiety. She has taught me alot about slowing down and being kind and gentle with myself. 🥰
I've been a part of her community since 2015. On again off again. No matter which video I do she connects with me in the moment and helps me thru what ever I'm struggling with regardless of whether I even recognize I am struggling. She keeps me in contact with me and reminds me that we are all part of something bigger.
Adriene is my daily landing for almost 4 years now. I once stopped doing my daily yoga with her and was replaced by some sun salutations on my own. After two weeks I realized what Adriene is: she is not only Yoga, she is not only meditation. She reaches to my real soul. It brings me such comfort just hearing her guidance. Thank you, lady!
I don’t know what it is about her, but the love and compassion just comes right through her voice. There are times something she says makes me cry, and I don’t even know why. Just a release.
I'm almost 61 and have never had the feeling of looking forward and feeling motivated to any exercise program until I discovered Adriene and YWA in 2016. This woman is amazingly wonderful, kind and so generous ❤
I have been watching Adriene since I was in college 4 years ago. Everything about her page/technique is so soothing. This just inspired me to keep pushing forward, you never know who you are helping/when your big break is about to come ❤️
Yoga with Adriene is grounding, healing and a movement inward. So grateful to her. Her ripple (from Texas) reached out to me here in Asia (Philippines) 🙂
This makes me want to hug Adriene. It's amazing how she manages to impact us all in a positive way, even when she's not feeling her best. Thanks so much, Adriene!!
This really speaks to me. I'm an English teacher, but my hope is to provide a safe community and to bring out the best in others. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
Love you Adriene! One of the few western yoga teacher who seems to actually understands the core values of Yoga and embodies it! My morning is not complete without a yoga with Adriene. You make me feel calm, make me laugh (ay-yo) and make me confront what I struggle to do on my own. I find what feels good in your virtual presence all the time. Namaste from London x
I have been with Adrienne since 2013!!! She saved me from stress going into first year at uni and still does today with the daily stress from adulthood. She was my first yoga teacher and no other yoga classes - online subscriptions or in studios - I had tried since can live up to yoga with Adrienne. I always find myself coming back to her videos & there's always something new to discover even after all these years
Every year seems to grind down and then finally its January again and the boost with Adrienne's 30 days of yoga, and I'm off again. Adrienne saves my life every year. ❤🙏
Yep gotta hop on the band wagon here. Been following Adriene for around 6 years now. Love this lady. She has helped me so much and I can never thank her enough. Love her and Benji (dogs are better than people) deeply and I do not even know them. That is strong stuff. I cry every time I see her in an interview because she is the person she seems to be. Not many in this digital world are that way .
Love 💘 love, love her!!! Her yoga classes have helped me soo much! I have stage 4 cancer and I am feeling sooooo much better since doing Yoga with Adrienne!
The fact she made me go through so many hard times and haven't even met her in person. I feel like I am meeting with me best friend every single day during our practices. She is an angel ❤
That moment when i'd been Adriane's subscriber long before the pandemic, and I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT SOMETHING CHANGED on the channel. That's what I call a consistently safe space! Such a surprise to see Adriane at GQ! Wow! I am so proud and inspired to be a part of this community! Thank you Adriene!!! 🤸♀️♥️🙏
Adriane is authentic, grounded and really humble. I just love how her sessions have helped me so much in loving myself. She gives out positive energy! Thank you Adriene. Love from Dubai.
Absolutely one of my Covid Heroes. Down to earth and genuine. Yoga is truly a practice that is for everyone, and Adriene makes it so much more accessible. I'm glad to see her channel explode, not only for her but for all of us. We need teachers like Adriene, now more than ever. Namaste.
I watched this right after day 7 of the latest 30 day yoga journey. Adriene has truly saved me from a physical ailment that was beginning to overtake my mental wellness and I started having powerful epiphanies which I now write down when they come to me. What a beautiful human being Adriene is thank you so much and namaste. 🙏
The best thing I have learned from Adriene is her saying, "A little goes a long way". It finally sunk in from her saying it so often. Its actually what keeps me practicing daily with her. Years ago I always felt if I didn't do 45 min. Or more, Just forget it. Nope, even if I just do a shortie with Adriene, there is a bene- fit. I find myself repeating her mantra to many people when they find out I do yoga daily.
A really great interview. Adriene sometimes seems too good to be true but every YWA video, every interview like this, just confirms how genuine and awesome she is. I am so grateful to have her in my life - she has helped me to be my best self and that is no small thing.
Adriene is a wonderful human being, a trainer, a leader and and a virtual friend. Have been following her since 2015 and am proud of her achievements and growth. Thank you Adriene, you truly changed my life.
Adriene is just the best. Her warmth, humility, humanity and humour make every Practice fun and exciting. I only wish I was following her back then. As someone who battles constant vocal problems I understand about the joys and pains it can bring.
Hope Adrienne sees these beautiful comments. You helped me through my most difficult moment thus far. And at the same time inspired me through yoga. You inspired me lol to change lives through teaching yoga. Would love to take part in a teacher training with you some day ♥️. Thank you!
Adriene is a beautiful soul. I first found her on TH-cam the end of 2020 when my anxiety got really bad but because it was so bad I couldn’t commit to yoga everyday so I watched her videos here and there trying my hardest and even into 2021 I still had a hard time but it was until March 2021 when I told myself this is where I start, this is where I fully commit and take my mind and body back. I had to tell myself that I have anxiety and it will not go away but you have the strength and the control to push through and Adriene really helped me with that. I fully committed March 1st 2021 to doing yoga everyday and as of today I’m currently 314 days in. I have not missed a day and refuse to miss one no matter what. Adriene is a true inspiration she’s really uplifted a lot of us more than she knows.
December of 2018 I found her through Kiera Rose who was talking about her January challenge and I decided to join. After doing it for a few weeks I was hooked. So many emotions came out during practice. It made me aware of my body and made me start to appreciate it. This was my kickstart to take steps to start doing thing because I loved myself enough instead of out of hate. Adriene has truly saved my life. Yoga has given me so many things. Cured my backpain and weird aches, made me appreciate my body, made me more patient with myself, and make me more aware of how I feel and why. I do yoga everyday first thing in the morning and every time I skip a few days, I immediately notice it during the day. Yoga was my kickstart to start a healthy and active lifestyle which made me overcome my binge eating disorder, think about what's best in the long run. Changed my birth control, changed to walking in barefoot shoes, got better therapy and I've overcome so many things. I'm way healthier and way more able to deal with my past (ptsd). All because of the kickstart yoga gave me. Thanks Adriene, I'm so thankful I found your channel in the right moment.
Thx u adrianne . Im an obstetrician working at public hospital in indonesia since pandemic we got so many bad pregnant women came to the hospital without proper antenatal care.. so i become toxic most of the time and i dont have time for taking care of myself. I got this symptoms at my left arm pain and numbness and i was afraid it was hnp cervicalis after so many therapy i found out your 30 day yoga . I tried to practise every day and try to love my self …. Try to balanced my life as a mom, doctor and my self … i got better without meds …. Since that day i try to do yoga every day … you indeed a heroo …. All of the women here toooo
Adriene is so special. I’m so thankful to have access to her content. She guides me back to presence and makes me laugh every darn time. A gift to the world ! Thank you Adriene 💟
I found YWA when i turned 40. Her 30 day program "Dedicate" was my intro to this great art. It's truly been a humbling experience trying to master this practice. Years of athletic endeavors, weight training, and two very physical careers took a toll on me. The last 3 years of practice have really helped in my everyday life. I'm truly grateful to have found YWA and become a practitioner. I hope to continue this art the rest of my life!
A good teacher is always learning. I love Yoga with Adriene. She is amazing. witty and fun. And it is one of the only times of my day that i can focus on being in the moment. Thank you, Adriene!
I am grateful for Adrienne. I fell away from yoga this past year. After having a major panic attack yesterday (the scariest one yet), I have decided to start this year with yoga again and time for me. I will stick with it this time. This was the perfect practice for me at this moment.
I hear you. I stopped to and had similar experiences as yourself. I started her new course yesterday and I almost wept at the sound of her voice and her presence and Benji. She’s a wonderful human being. I hope you get on well with yoga again. 🙏🏼
she deserves every subscriber. Her timeless beauty (in and out) is just lovely. I used to avoid her because I thought she is so slow - but little did I know, that is WHAT i need the most - after 6 years, I am coming back to her and thats all I need. "SLOW down, let breath lead your movement, not the other way around'- the message I needed to hear. AT the end its truly about when YOU are READY! Thank you ADRIENE - all the best for you beautiful soul.
Im 71,been following Adriene since I was 50 something,the greatest yoga teacher ever.when people ask me how Am I so full of life,I always tell them ,yoga,learn how to breathe, its all in the breath. Long live Adriene,love,love her.
Her voice is calming and even if I can't keep up or do everything, I can close my eyes and her voice takes me to that next station. I'll keep doing my personal best. Thank you for the encouragement ❤️
Thank you, Adriene! And I hope your mom is okay. I wonder if you could do yoga for parents sometime (and yoga for postpartum, etc, as well as yoga for people taking care of elder parents), to help people with the challenge of being (and failing at being) there as caregivers for others.
While I was in physical therapy with a back injury my therapist actually recommended that I try her sessions for at home therapy. I hesitated at first, but then I tried her Yoga for beginners, and I absolutely felt my back get better ( not totally healed), but I felt better. Less pain and I gained more mobility as time went on. I felt so guilty....should have done it a long time ago. She is making a difference in people's lives. Keep going Adrienne. God Bless you❤
I had practiced with Adrienne before her channel exploded and she was definitely one of the online teachers that helped me practice yoga even during the time when I couldn’t afford yoga classes. And for that I will always be grateful 🙏
I love Adriene! She is so warm real, and it feels wonderful to share time with her. I've been doing yoga on and off again for years, and I am so glad I found her again. I feel the change in my body and my mind already. And I love Benji, too! :)
Love her! Had the honor of practicing yoga with her in LA in 2016 and her 30 day challenge last year helped me grief the death of my uncle. Thank you for you love and light Adriene 💕
Adriene saved me in a moment of my life where everything was falling apart. I feel she is my friend, my tutor, my family. I start my day with a prayer and with Adriene. Thank you for being a God send!
Adrian brings such a lightness humility, humor, and self-acceptance to her yoga classes. Whenever I fall out of my practice and need to come back I always go to her. She helps to get me back on course and also be gentle and loving to myself. Thank you Adrian for all that you do 🙏❤️
Yoga for everybody...yoga for women who came from conservative purity culture...that's what Adrienne gave me. I was raised in such a conservative, religious environment, and Adrienne made yoga accessible even to our community. It was through her that I found yoga and through her that yoga videos were allowed to play in our home. Through her, my sisters and friends were introduced to it. Because of her work, making it accessible, I am now expanding and evolving my practice into learning how to become a teacher. I've also expanded my practice to the chakras and more spiritual practices that would have been unimaginable to me 10 years ago. Thank you, Adrienne. You played a huge part in being the teacher and the bridge that led me on my healing journey and life's purpose.
I found Adriene's channel when I really needed her, a few years ago when I moved back home from living in Texas. I had alot of healing to do and she really helped me with my inner soul search and inner connection. I'm loyal to her channel for my inner peace and practice. Thank you Adriene. 😊🥰
I love Adriana I think she does Yoga for everyone to do. I just love her nature, she feels warm. I love doing yoga with her at home. I have now gone back to her class right from the beginning. I have tried to classes 30 day Yoga and I just love those classes it allows me to give back to myself. I feel alive when I stick to those classes. I also listen to my body if it hurts don't do it and that's why I love her as she adapts the class for everyone. It is amazing and when I do a class I feel I have enriched my body. Just be mindful and enjoy your class.
She’s genuinely a wonderful human being. Every morning for the last 5 years, her voice, gentle guidance, wise and funny words, as well as yoga at its best, have made a huge difference in my life and made every single day better. The ripple effect is true. Thank you so much Adriene (and Benji ! And her amazing team too) for changing my life. Gratitude is overflowing my heart ❤️ 🙏🏻 namaste
Have the Same feeling Isabelle!
Right on! I started YWA on 1/1/2018...I've been doing it every day since then! I ditto everything you said above.
I feel the same.
Lol copy that , 5-6 years .. cannot believe, I’ve done this ..started 5 mins of early vid each morning , still finding the next moment 💞
She is silly still, but smoother in her teaching.
One of my favorite things about her is that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She tells jokes and sings during yoga. It’s awesome!
And she's not the kind of showy yoga teacher that in the end intimidates with acrobatic poses
agreed ! you can just tell how down to earth and grounded she is. no ego or arrogance whatsoever
I LOVE that about her. So, so much.
adriene finger snap mind control 😍
I cancelled a paid subscription yoga app because it was all show-off acrobatics clearly not designed for anyone but other show-offs, and started doing YWA. I would pay twice as much for her classes than I did for that terrible app. She makes yoga accessible for everyone from total beginners to the very experienced. There's no ego to her practice, and that's why it's so appealing.
Also a golden medal to the interviewer - present, listening, not interrupting ...
he's ross edgely - he's really an incredible athlete - very inspirational and has his own youtube channel.
@@aleksandraprivet49 Thank you so much :)
Fully agree.. I love so much that he held space for her to share deeply without trying to rush her to the next to the next , it felt like he was genuinely listening and it made for such a great interview
Agreed! It shouldn't be so rare, but it really is. Makes for an excellent conversation.
@@briannabyers7988 I agree!
I like how the interviewer really listens to Adriene. He never interrupts her.
I think that makes a great interviewer. Inter~view. We wanna look at what Adriene thinks and believes, so it only makes sense, to me, that the interviewer asks the questions and then let’s the interviewee's stream of consciousness flow and gives little feedback (not none). Well done. So beautiful.
@@catvega7128 I agree, but I think that many interviewers don't have the patience or ability to actually "hear" their guests' responses. I think their egos get in the way. This guy's good.
I would love to see him asking more questions about what she is talking about. But indeed, he listens well!
@@deendondersteen6322 Lol! Ya, I agree. But she's a terrific yoga instructor!
Especially how he keeps looking at the floor rather than maintaining eye contact, he's obviously being very humble in her presence.
He read my comment to her 😭 I’m so happy!! I’m a nurse-turned-doctor and I’m STILL in awe of how many lives she has saved! ❤️ Made my day that comment got to her
wow happy for you.
Love your Aura. Thanks 4 your uplifting classes and crazy meaningfull quips
Karen SA ♡♡♡
Wait nurse turned MD?! Tell me more
You are so right though, without sounding dramatic she changed my life and I always marvel at how many people she must have saved!!
@OnceTheyNamedMEiWasn't I don't know what I did but thanks
Yes absolutely Adriene saves lives. I realize every few months (after I fall off the wagon because I don't put self-care first) that I always feel better in every way when I am doing Yoga with Adriene. No other yoga is the same. Adriene's whole approach resonates with me. Thank you Adriene. And selfishly....please never stop.
Agree about self care 100%
Me too. I stopped doing yoga for a couple of months. Watching this, I am ready to do more.
@@ralphandritashow4904 she's doing a 30 day yoga challenge atm. You should Check it out!
♥️
I instantly clicked. This girl is my voice. She is my church. I'm glad she realizes the power she has with her ripple effect. She saved my mentality and continues to teach me so many things.
I agree with you Sarah! Adriene has actually saved me from complete burnout, raised my selfesteem and every day I look forward to hear her beautiful calming voice and of course challenging myself to practice with yoga with intention.
"She is my church" - love that. x
Adriene embodies grace and calmness. She has the ability to show you can ground yourself and her practice teaches you acceptance to take your practice seriously while still cracking funny jokes. She is truly amazing, Namaste!
Her channel has helped me climb out a depressive episode that I thought would take me out. As I'm taking her lessons, I'm reading a book by a neuroscientist called The Body Keeps the Score, and there is a whole chapter about the healing effects of yoga. I feel so so so priviledged to have access to these classes.
Such a good book! I'd recommend it to anyone that has experience of trauma or interest in the topic.
I could have written your comment Savannah Barros, finding Adriene helped me out of a very dark place at the height of isolation during the pandemic. A while ago I started thinking that all my trauma had made its way into the very fibre of my body, my DNA, and all the therapy in the world couldn’t shift it. My psychologist suggested I see a spiritual healer (kinesiologist) and also that I read The Body Keeps The Score. I’m pleased to say I’m doing really well today, hope you are too! 😊
Sounds like a good book !
Keep getting better. You got this.
Amazing book
I met her in person once when I took her class in Austin a few years ago. She is 1000% genuine, she even gave me a hug. The sweetest human!
I was so ashamed of finding myself in a physically abusive relationship. Cashed in 401k, quit job, extinguished relationship with Sons. Yoga with Adriane gave me the strength to pack a backpack and find my way home. 4 states away. I have a wonderful life. Thanks to her. I owe this Angel my life.
Thank you for sharing this with us. YWA has changed my life for the better, and I think the most beautiful part of it all is the community we get to share yoga and our experiences with.
No reason to be ashamed Samantha. Sending love.
Samantha: I'm so happy that you found your way home. May many blessings come your way.
Adriene, you truly saved my life. Last year in March, I was at one of the worst places in my life. I didn't want to go any further. Back then I didn't believe in yoga, I had never even considered doing it. But one day I don't know why, but I decided to try it. My first video was the one "yoga for releasing anger". You made me feel so safe. The kind of security I was trying so desperately to find. One and a half years later, I am in a much more stable place in my life. And it all thanks to you. I am still far from being perfect, but I repeat your mantra "lots of love in, lots of love out" and things just make more sense.
💚💚💚
deb: Your comment is an inspiration. Now I'm writing to you from February 2022 . . . I hope you are doing well, and I wish you many good things this year!
Adrienne has been there through so many emotions in my life. I've came to the mat crying, heartbroken, unconfident, happy, stressed, joyous, gassy 😂😂 and she'll never know! I remember finding her channel in 2012 at 22 and now here I am ten years later at 32 still doing her yoga 🧘♀️ 🕉
Find what feels good! 🙌
I am 68 years old, Adrien has been helping me for the past year and a half. I am stronger, more flexible and confident. Thank you both!
I'm also 68 and have been doing daily yoga with Adriene for the past year and 8 months! I began right when our area went into lockdown and the yoga studio I had attended twice weekly closed. I had happened upon Adriene's videos years before, but life got in the way and I never began a practice until the pandemic kept me home. Now Adriene's steady influence in my life is so reassuring, and I love the way she teaches with more intention than the fast flow classes held locally. I love her holistic attitude - running through all the reminders of which body areas to focus on during each pose. The way she varies the targeted body areas keeps me from feeling sore or overwhelmed or too challenged. Yet I've really noticed huge improvements in my flexibility and strength as time goes on. I just love doing Yoga with Adriene!!
👍🏽🙏🏼👏🏽
She gives you tools to be a best friend to yourself and that's pretty magical. With the huge catalog of videos, I know I can find something that will work with me wherever I am at the moment. Need a hug? A massage? An excuse to do nothing and breath? Someone to suggest something a little weird to get out of your head? Someone just to push you a little further? It's all there. I feel so lucky to have found this gift!!!
Adriene I was there every week before, during and after your voice surgery and the black and whites were awesome. So creative. I was one of your first 100 yoga followers, so incredible to watch you through your journey. Keep up the great work. We love you.
She guided me through my darkest years. I always come to her when life is hard. I am so thankful she exists
I love that he gave her space to just express herself and think through her answers.
Following her for the last 1.5 years, doing yoga at home with her every morning. I feel like I can not start my day without her. I would not be able to show the resilience during pandemic. Thanks to Adrienne and her team. You are our heros. Namaste.
Same here! Not for mental reasons, but I do it for my back. Home office is evil, but thanks to her I feel like I can keep my body healthy - and mind too!
Same! I also found her almost two years ago. Life has improved since then and because of her
Her humanity, charm and grace come through in every yoga class she teaches. I also love her classes. She truly has a gift.
Could not agree more!!! This world is a better place with Adrienne. She was meant for this. She is a blessing to us all. 💞
worlds most soothing voice /love her classes and need to get back to a regular practice
I like that you commented about her voice. There are plenty of good yoga resources on TH-cam but it was Adriene's voice that kept me coming back.
@@paulclement4222 I can't do others.....even when I take a class in person I find myself wishing for Adriene's voice - and approach.
yes, it is her voice that puts her light years ahead of others. Soothing, reassuring, comforting.
It is not just her voice in a physical aspect though. Her inner tranquility and goodness shines through.
What makes her work so impactful and beautiful is she's not afraid to be vulnerable and be fully human. I love that she's not interested in perfecting yoga or performing, but simply showing up as you are. This is also what she teaches in class to simply show up exactly as you are and let that be enough but also letting that be the magic and beauty of it all.
I love what she said about wanting to make the science of it more accessible too. I do yoga mainly for mental health and have watched a few versions of "yoga for anxiety" or for stress that she has but I've always wondered like why those sequences in her classes help so much and how I could maybe replicate the sense of relief I get from those specific classes more often in my life.
i love this woman. i returned to yoga to heal my back pain, and had an outcome i never expected, which was happiness. thank you Adriene.
I found her back in 2017 I believe. Because of her influence and the yoga, I'm down to the lowest dose blood pressure medicine. I conquered morning IBS symptoms and took my dream job as a choir director for my church. She has saved lives and improves lives. At the end of every workout I say "thank you, sweet girl". I'd claim her as my own. We're all so proud of her. Even those who dont know her personally.
I love love love love Adriene. She has saved my life when I was extremely ill and dying I used her videos in my healing process. I still do today . She is amazing.
This was an incredible conversation 💖
Already her “Lots of love in…” gets me everytime and I know how to love on my body with something as simple as breathing. She is amazing.
I started yoga four years ago with Adriene and I am now a regular yoga practitioner. I owe my consistency and love for yoga to Adriene.
I love her! I trained for years, did muscular weight training and yoga. then I got sick, stopped everything and couldn't get back to any of it. 7years of trying ang not following through. Thanks to Adrienne,
i am now on week 9 of yoga with Adrienne everyday. I have a total of 5days off in the whole 9weeks.
i am stronger, my numerous pains have dissipated (shoulders, neck, back...) I am 54 years old and my muscles remember so the positive changes have been impressive. I thought that having been away from it, it would be very long before I could see changes but I was wayyyy wrong. I am so grateful to her and her teaching method. I do a minimum of 30 min a day and many times I wind up doing more. She's even helped me sleep better. So thank you thankyou thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
You sound a lot like me. 👍🏽
Aches pains from a once active and flexible
Body. Slowly getting back.🙏🏼
I recently got two bionic knees and am reintroducing myself to yoga. Your style of accepting where I am today in this process motivates me to continue to show up everyday. Than you for your generous and welcoming spirit. ❤️🙏🏻
this woman is one of the most inspirational people i can think of... she certainly saved my life a few times and i'll be eternally grateful for that
I simply can't image my life without you, Adrienne 💗 That's the impact your teaching have on me.
Namaste 🙏🍀☀️
What makes her so great is that she is so grounded and real! She is the first teacher that actually makes me wake up every morning to do yoga! Adriene is so real, singing, joking, making fun of herself, is like doing yoga with a friend rather than this mystic Goddess that is untouchable. She makes yoga relatable, she makes yoga accesible to ALL, she makes it fun, allows the space for us to be vulnerable and also have fun with our bodies in the comfort of our homes. I love you so much Adriene....best teacher, master, Goddess, real divine person...you are an asset to humanity.
Adriene was a turning point for me. I found her right after getting diagnosed with accute depression and I did so many 30 days of yoga and I do believe it was instrumental in my mental health getting better. I cried so many times after videos and her presence through it made me feel it was OK for me to let the emotion out. Her heart shines through so bright it is life changing
I love Adriene and Benji. I found her channel during the pandemic and have been following her yoga practice since then. I love her calm and soothing voice, esp since i grapple with anxiety. She has taught me alot about slowing down and being kind and gentle with myself. 🥰
I've been a part of her community since 2015. On again off again. No matter which video I do she connects with me in the moment and helps me thru what ever I'm struggling with regardless of whether I even recognize I am struggling. She keeps me in contact with me and reminds me that we are all part of something bigger.
Adriene is my daily landing for almost 4 years now. I once stopped doing my daily yoga with her and was replaced by some sun salutations on my own. After two weeks I realized what Adriene is: she is not only Yoga, she is not only meditation. She reaches to my real soul. It brings me such comfort just hearing her guidance. Thank you, lady!
I don’t know what it is about her, but the love and compassion just comes right through her voice. There are times something she says makes me cry, and I don’t even know why. Just a release.
I'm almost 61 and have never had the feeling of looking forward and feeling motivated to any exercise program until I discovered Adriene and YWA in 2016. This woman is amazingly wonderful, kind and so generous ❤
I have been watching Adriene since I was in college 4 years ago. Everything about her page/technique is so soothing. This just inspired me to keep pushing forward, you never know who you are helping/when your big break is about to come ❤️
Yoga with Adriene is grounding, healing and a movement inward. So grateful to her. Her ripple (from Texas) reached out to me here in Asia (Philippines) 🙂
This makes me want to hug Adriene. It's amazing how she manages to impact us all in a positive way, even when she's not feeling her best. Thanks so much, Adriene!!
I thank Adriene every day after I finish my yoga practice.
This really speaks to me. I'm an English teacher, but my hope is to provide a safe community and to bring out the best in others. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
Love you Adriene! One of the few western yoga teacher who seems to actually understands the core values of Yoga and embodies it! My morning is not complete without a yoga with Adriene. You make me feel calm, make me laugh (ay-yo) and make me confront what I struggle to do on my own. I find what feels good in your virtual presence all the time. Namaste from London x
I have been with Adrienne since 2013!!! She saved me from stress going into first year at uni and still does today with the daily stress from adulthood. She was my first yoga teacher and no other yoga classes - online subscriptions or in studios - I had tried since can live up to yoga with Adrienne. I always find myself coming back to her videos & there's always something new to discover even after all these years
Every year seems to grind down and then finally its January again and the boost with Adrienne's 30 days of yoga, and I'm off again. Adrienne saves my life every year. ❤🙏
Yep gotta hop on the band wagon here. Been following Adriene for around 6 years now. Love this lady. She has helped me so much and I can never thank her enough. Love her and Benji (dogs are better than people) deeply and I do not even know them. That is strong stuff. I cry every time I see her in an interview because she is the person she seems to be. Not many in this digital world are that way .
Love 💘 love, love her!!! Her yoga classes have helped me soo much! I have stage 4 cancer and I am feeling sooooo much better since doing Yoga with Adrienne!
The fact she made me go through so many hard times and haven't even met her in person. I feel like I am meeting with me best friend every single day during our practices. She is an angel ❤
Literally my hero 😭 I became a yoga teacher because of her.
Me too!
Bless her 🫶🏼🙏🏼
Love Adriene SO SO much. She is an amazing human being.
That moment when i'd been Adriane's subscriber long before the pandemic, and I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT SOMETHING CHANGED on the channel. That's what I call a consistently safe space! Such a surprise to see Adriane at GQ! Wow! I am so proud and inspired to be a part of this community! Thank you Adriene!!! 🤸♀️♥️🙏
Adriane is authentic, grounded and really humble. I just love how her sessions have helped me so much in loving myself. She gives out positive energy! Thank you Adriene. Love from Dubai.
Absolutely one of my Covid Heroes. Down to earth and genuine. Yoga is truly a practice that is for everyone, and Adriene makes it so much more accessible. I'm glad to see her channel explode, not only for her but for all of us.
We need teachers like Adriene, now more than ever.
Namaste.
I watched this right after day 7 of the latest 30 day yoga journey. Adriene has truly saved me from a physical ailment that was beginning to overtake my mental wellness and I started having powerful epiphanies which I now write down when they come to me. What a beautiful human being Adriene is thank you so much and namaste. 🙏
The best thing I have learned from Adriene is her saying,
"A little goes a long way".
It finally sunk in from her saying it so often. Its actually what keeps me practicing daily with her. Years ago I always felt if I didn't do 45 min. Or more, Just forget it. Nope, even if I just do a shortie with Adriene, there is a bene-
fit. I find myself repeating her mantra to many people when they find out I do yoga daily.
Absolutely!
It’s amazing how yoga really impacts her own life, you can see it in the way she talks and presents herself. It’s great
A really great interview. Adriene sometimes seems too good to be true but every YWA video, every interview like this, just confirms how genuine and awesome she is. I am so grateful to have her in my life - she has helped me to be my best self and that is no small thing.
Adriene is a wonderful human being, a trainer, a leader and and a virtual friend. Have been following her since 2015 and am proud of her achievements and growth.
Thank you Adriene, you truly changed my life.
Adriene is just the best. Her warmth, humility, humanity and humour make every Practice fun and exciting. I only wish I was following her back then. As someone who battles constant vocal problems I understand about the joys and pains it can bring.
Hope Adrienne sees these beautiful comments. You helped me through my most difficult moment thus far. And at the same time inspired me through yoga. You inspired me lol to change lives through teaching yoga. Would love to take part in a teacher training with you some day ♥️. Thank you!
Adriene is a beautiful soul. I first found her on TH-cam the end of 2020 when my anxiety got really bad but because it was so bad I couldn’t commit to yoga everyday so I watched her videos here and there trying my hardest and even into 2021 I still had a hard time but it was until March 2021 when I told myself this is where I start, this is where I fully commit and take my mind and body back. I had to tell myself that I have anxiety and it will not go away but you have the strength and the control to push through and Adriene really helped me with that. I fully committed March 1st 2021 to doing yoga everyday and as of today I’m currently 314 days in. I have not missed a day and refuse to miss one no matter what. Adriene is a true inspiration she’s really uplifted a lot of us more than she knows.
December of 2018 I found her through Kiera Rose who was talking about her January challenge and I decided to join.
After doing it for a few weeks I was hooked. So many emotions came out during practice. It made me aware of my body and made me start to appreciate it. This was my kickstart to take steps to start doing thing because I loved myself enough instead of out of hate.
Adriene has truly saved my life. Yoga has given me so many things. Cured my backpain and weird aches, made me appreciate my body, made me more patient with myself, and make me more aware of how I feel and why.
I do yoga everyday first thing in the morning and every time I skip a few days, I immediately notice it during the day.
Yoga was my kickstart to start a healthy and active lifestyle which made me overcome my binge eating disorder, think about what's best in the long run. Changed my birth control, changed to walking in barefoot shoes, got better therapy and I've overcome so many things. I'm way healthier and way more able to deal with my past (ptsd). All because of the kickstart yoga gave me. Thanks Adriene, I'm so thankful I found your channel in the right moment.
Thx u adrianne . Im an obstetrician working at public hospital in indonesia since pandemic we got so many bad pregnant women came to the hospital without proper antenatal care.. so i become toxic most of the time and i dont have time for taking care of myself. I got this symptoms at my left arm pain and numbness and i was afraid it was hnp cervicalis after so many therapy i found out your 30 day yoga . I tried to practise every day and try to love my self …. Try to balanced my life as a mom, doctor and my self … i got better without meds …. Since that day i try to do yoga every day … you indeed a heroo …. All of the women here toooo
She literally started talking for 10 seconds and I already want to cry. I’m so grateful for her 😭😭😭
Lovely, honest and humble I have been following Adriene's channel for years. Amazing to see people who deserve success to get it.
Adriene is so special. I’m so thankful to have access to her content. She guides me back to presence and makes me laugh every darn time. A gift to the world ! Thank you Adriene 💟
I found YWA when i turned 40. Her 30 day program "Dedicate" was my intro to this great art. It's truly been a humbling experience trying to master this practice. Years of athletic endeavors, weight training, and two very physical careers took a toll on me. The last 3 years of practice have really helped in my everyday life. I'm truly grateful to have found YWA and become a practitioner. I hope to continue this art the rest of my life!
A good teacher is always learning. I love Yoga with Adriene. She is amazing. witty and fun. And it is one of the only times of my day that i can focus on being in the moment. Thank you, Adriene!
I am grateful for Adrienne. I fell away from yoga this past year. After having a major panic attack yesterday (the scariest one yet), I have decided to start this year with yoga again and time for me. I will stick with it this time. This was the perfect practice for me at this moment.
I hear you. I stopped to and had similar experiences as yourself. I started her new course yesterday and I almost wept at the sound of her voice and her presence and Benji. She’s a wonderful human being. I hope you get on well with yoga again. 🙏🏼
I do love this human being. I am conditioned to her voice. I feel calm as soon as I listen to her voice. She is so so beautiful inside and out.
she deserves every subscriber. Her timeless beauty (in and out) is just lovely. I used to avoid her because I thought she is so slow - but little did I know, that is WHAT i need the most - after 6 years, I am coming back to her and thats all I need. "SLOW down, let breath lead your movement, not the other way around'- the message I needed to hear. AT the end its truly about when YOU are READY! Thank you ADRIENE - all the best for you beautiful soul.
Yoga is the only activity I have stuck to by heart and mind, and that's because of Adriene. I lOVE yoga because of her. Thank u GQ!
I love Adriene and Benji!
Im 71,been following Adriene since I was 50 something,the greatest yoga teacher ever.when people ask me how Am I so full of life,I always tell them ,yoga,learn how to breathe, its all in the breath. Long live Adriene,love,love her.
I'm watching this from a little island near Seattle in the Pacific Northwest and almost choked on my tea when she said that .......
Her voice is calming and even if I can't keep up or do everything, I can close my eyes and her voice takes me to that next station. I'll keep doing my personal best. Thank you for the encouragement ❤️
Thank you, Adriene! And I hope your mom is okay. I wonder if you could do yoga for parents sometime (and yoga for postpartum, etc, as well as yoga for people taking care of elder parents), to help people with the challenge of being (and failing at being) there as caregivers for others.
While I was in physical therapy with a back injury my therapist actually recommended that I try her sessions for at home therapy. I hesitated at first, but then I tried her Yoga for beginners, and I absolutely felt my back get better ( not totally healed), but I felt better. Less pain and I gained more mobility as time went on. I felt so guilty....should have done it a long time ago. She is making a difference in people's lives. Keep going Adrienne. God Bless you❤
Honestly love Adriene. It’s not an exaggeration when I say she is a massive part of my life.
She teaches a lot more than yoga, including the power of your authenticity!
I love Adriene
I had practiced with Adrienne before her channel exploded and she was definitely one of the online teachers that helped me practice yoga even during the time when I couldn’t afford yoga classes. And for that I will always be grateful 🙏
Difference in posture is crazy
I love Adriene! She is so warm real, and it feels wonderful to share time with her. I've been doing yoga on and off again for years, and I am so glad I found her again. I feel the change in my body and my mind already. And I love Benji, too! :)
Love her! Had the honor of practicing yoga with her in LA in 2016 and her 30 day challenge last year helped me grief the death of my uncle. Thank you for you love and light Adriene 💕
Adriene is an incredible human! I started with her during my darkest days of grief. So very grateful for her and Benji ❤
Adriene saved me in a moment of my life where everything was falling apart. I feel she is my friend, my tutor, my family. I start my day with a prayer and with Adriene. Thank you for being a God send!
Adoro a Adriene, foi com quem aprendi a fazer yoga e meditação em 2016, e continua a ser o meu canal preferido...
Não há ninguém igual à Adriene... ❤️
Adrian brings such a lightness humility, humor, and self-acceptance to her yoga classes. Whenever I fall out of my practice and need to come back I always go to her. She helps to get me back on course and also be gentle and loving to myself. Thank you Adrian for all that you do 🙏❤️
Loved this. Great interview. Such grace and gratitude.
Love Adriene and everything she does for us.
After an injury, I found the yoga channel from Adriane. Thank you for helping me heal. I also love your style and voice. It’s very comforting.
I have been following her since 2015 and loved her guidance and insights on yoga and benji too I am her oldest subscriber on TH-cam
Yoga for everybody...yoga for women who came from conservative purity culture...that's what Adrienne gave me. I was raised in such a conservative, religious environment, and Adrienne made yoga accessible even to our community. It was through her that I found yoga and through her that yoga videos were allowed to play in our home. Through her, my sisters and friends were introduced to it. Because of her work, making it accessible, I am now expanding and evolving my practice into learning how to become a teacher. I've also expanded my practice to the chakras and more spiritual practices that would have been unimaginable to me 10 years ago. Thank you, Adrienne. You played a huge part in being the teacher and the bridge that led me on my healing journey and life's purpose.
This woman is incredible, she is a gift!
I found Adriene's channel when I really needed her, a few years ago when I moved back home from living in Texas. I had alot of healing to do and she really helped me with my inner soul search and inner connection. I'm loyal to her channel for my inner peace and practice. Thank you Adriene. 😊🥰
I love Adriana I think she does Yoga for everyone to do. I just love her nature, she feels warm. I love doing yoga with her at home. I have now gone back to her class right from the beginning. I have tried to classes 30 day Yoga and I just love those classes it allows me to give back to myself. I feel alive when I stick to those classes. I also listen to my body if it hurts don't do it and that's why I love her as she adapts the class for everyone. It is amazing and when I do a class I feel I have enriched my body. Just be mindful and enjoy your class.
Adriene is so lovely! I really enjoy her virtual classes and her quirky and mindful guide to the practise of yoga. What a wonderful human being.
