I just did this practice on Christmas day before the family shows up. I thought the same thing about "demure" and also "sharing the video with friends and foes." Ahaha
Would love a compilation of Benji’s best/ most relaxing moments. What a great assistant. His presence radiates so much peace, coziness, love, and warmth 🥰
Oh, he truly does! He's like an emotional support animal for this channel; he somehow radiates his calm even through a video. Clever username btw; made me smile.
I’ve been alternating this practice with Sunrise Yoga and 6 Minute Yoga For Hips for six weeks now and I am not exaggerating when I say my life has improved exponentially. My anxiety has dropped dramatically; my intellectual ability has increased; and a host of mobility issues have also resolved themselves. Thank you so much for all you do.
I need to take a moment to say that I have had frozen shoulders for about 4 years from working in pipefitting. And about a year of recurring neck immobility and pain where my right shoulder would turn into a rock and go into spasm. I practically cured it with this routine. At one point I was letting my arms down and my shoulders let out an otherworldly amount of cracks as if they JUST released all of the tension they’ve been carrying the past 4 years. It feels incredible and I have only you to thank. My wife is a HUGE fan and she told me to try this. So glad I did. Thank you so much. You’re a fantastic human.
I have had frozen shoulder in both shoulders now. 2 years apart. Now I am dealing with tendinitis in one shoulder. So going to try this. I've been doing her 30 days this month and doing fine since I had a cortisone shot in my arm, but it wore off this past weekend and so sore when holding my arm over my head at an angle. So disappointing! Wanted to finish this month pain free! So taking it easy with the routines and doing what I can do. I'll definitely be doing this for neck and shoulders! Great to read your comment and know I'm not alone with this!!
While doing this flow, I kept thinking, "Wow. She is so wonderfully expert-a master of her craft, a helping heart-and yet relatable." And then when you said you looked down and saw toothpaste on your shirt... I saw toothpaste on MY SHIRT, TOO. Cosmic. You have a gift for connection.
Came here to say something very similar :D I bursted out laughing when Adriene saw the toothpaste on her shirt, opened my eyes and saw that I also had toothpaste on my shirt and laughed even more. Had to stop the video and just laugh :P Felt awesome :)
I just did this video at 10pm with my 5yo who was refusing to go to sleep. By the end, my neck and shoulders were feeling much better and my 5yo was asleep. Thank you Adriene 💖
Today I was desperate to try anything to avoid a visit to the ER. My pain was at a level 10+. I'm under pain management, nothing is working, and the ER was going to charge me a huge co pay for short term relief. So I did what I could in the video and now I'm crying because my pain has significantly decreased to a 6/7. I'm giving myself an hour and trying this routine again. I wish you could feel what I feel right now.
My heart is with you so much on this ❤️ It's those little moments of less discomfort that can make a huge difference. I hope moments of relief come more frequently for you soon.
This is the same reason I am here. My pain is not as severe as an ER visit, but I have been battling this extremely stiff neck for the last two weeks. It has begun to affect my sleep.
I’ve just tried two of your videos for neck shoulder and arm pain which I have been seeing a physio every 3 weeks for and can say that they definitely feel looser! Will be adding these into my daily routine from now on
After completing this routine I became teary eyed myself because the amount of relief I felt was amazing, my neck and shoulders haven't felt this good in years
Adriene, it would be a great idea to put together a playlist of yoga that can be done in a wheelchair if you haven't already! Would be a really inclusive thing to do for people using wheelchairs!
Hi, my name is Susan (this is my son's channel Im commenting from). I actually teach chair yoga. A cushioned folding chair works well, or even wheelchairs too. Most asanas can be done on a chair, just think about what you're capable of and listen to your body... it's your best teacher.
I tend to turn to yoga alot when I'm anxious, depressed, etc. (as well as tight) and so by extension I end up turning to your videos in times of need, it wasn't purposeful, I literally just youtubed "yoga for anxiety" and stumbled upon it. You've weirdly talked me through breakdowns, breakups, deaths, and long days in general, so just wanted to say thank you, love the subtle bits of humor and your constant reminders of "letting go"
❤❤❤ I can't even tell you how much this is helping my neck and back!! I hold so much tension there and everything is always so tight. After just a few sessions, I am already regaining a much freer range of motion in my neck. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
Yoga with Adriene gets me out of the bed in the morning. When I feel tempted to stay in bed a little longer, I think to myself, I'll miss out on Yoga, meditation and a nice hot shower before work and get out of the bed. Thank you for helping me with tension, pain and anxiety over the years.
Hey Adriene, I have been doing this video just over a year now and it completely healed my neck. But recently I woke up with extreme neck pain again. When I did the video and you talked about not seeing two sides or both sides, that comment finally resonated with me! I am struggling with a personal issue and realized I hadn't ever taken the time to see the situation from the other's perspective. I had a peaceful sleep last night with positive dreams about the person. So thank you!!!
Thank you Adriene! Your yoga videos here are a treasure trove to me. I do a lot of computer stuff and also my ADHD meds tend to lock up my shoulder and neck area whenever I pick them up after a break. This sequence in particular has helped me a ton already. Today I've been feeling an impending migraine ramping up for hours already, and it immediately started subsiding after I did this lesson. Just water and this sequence! It feels amazing to be able to intercept the escalation this way, and forgo a bunch of liniments and pills and hours of drowsy misery trying to sleep it away once it hits full force. So thank you so much. It feels like you're offering me a present every time I tune in.
I am a 52 year old veteran with neck and shoulder issues. I decided to do this shoulder and neck session with you and as I'm typing and can already feel the relief. I plan to subscribe and continue with you Adriene.
I'm having a weird pain going throw my body effecting my left ribs amd my right kidney. I had neck surgery 13 years ago. I am now suspecting my nerves in my neck are affecting my ribs and organ disfunction after they checked my organs my blood and that I have no kidney stone to obstruct my kidney. They are all baffled and are sending me for an MRI. I'm now wondering if the nerves in my neck where I had the surgery are causing all this and it makes me wonder if organ failure, in mysterious cases is directly related to that very thing.
This really worked. I didn't really get into yoga. But I was feeling a lot of tense in my neck and back areas. So during this time of quarantine, I thought it would be great for my daughter and me to do something different. My daughter's body got so relaxed she almost went to sleep lol. Thank you so much. My body is happy.
Welcome all y'all! You have found the magic that is Adriene! :) Check out some of her other videos; she is just so wonderful. I've been doing daily yoga (bc of her!) for about three years now and rely on it each and every day.
That's sweet that you do exercise with your daughter. People underestimate how much stress & tension children can hold in their muscles because they are so resilient overall. I am aware of this because i remember when i was a kid i would give my parents v high quality massage & then when it was my turn they would always say i didn't need as much because i was still young. haha gdi. Actually, i think the amount of tension most adult humans hold in their bodies is probably to an unhealthy extreme that no animal was ever meant to reach.
I've struggled with BAD migraines and tension headaches for years; I've taken more pills than I care to think about but doing this set of stretches helps me DAILY. Most days if I do these in the morning, I can kill any potential headache coming my way. THANK YOU for helping so many people, myself included.
I think these videos with poses that look oh so simple but feel so intense and impactful are some of my favourites. It really reminds me how magical and complicated the human body is, and how little it takes sometimes. My neck has felt like cement for days but now it's like butter. I swear I had a pop and release in my ribs doing this!
Yesterday I was checking if you had any videos for neck tension, but didn't find that much, and now this was uploaded just 10 mins before I started looking for a video for my yoga for the day. Sometimes things have a way of working themselves out. :)I started with your 30-day challenges in february this year, and have continued doing yoga every day since then, mostly following your videos, but you have also helped me be able to do yoga on my own. Thank you so much Adriene! Awesome channel, you are really including everyone who wants to do yoga in your practises. ❤
I started out with the 30 days of yoga and revolution in January, followed by yoga camp and now repeating the cycle. Also doing other videos in between.Haven't missed a day yet.
Top five things you can do for yourself: 1. Yoga with Adriene 2. Exercise 3. Eat healthy and drink lots of water 4. Have a good dog like Benji, or a good cat if you like 5. Delete all toxic social media
Another thing you can go for small gardening as well, indoor plants or outdoor, keep your own small home green. make your kitchen, balcony, windows green.
Well that was just the loveliest 17 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. It flew by - and was so peaceful and calming and (as she always knows) just what I needed today.
Hi, Adrienne! I just realized while doing this workout that your constant reminders to tuck the hips, heart over hips, head over heart, and imagine that string pulling straight up is having a positive effect on my crumbling spine. I suffer from debilitating osteoarthritis in my spine, with bone spurs, crumbling vertebrae, and degenerative disc disease, with some locations completely missing discs. I had been limited to 2 hours of easy activities out of bed per day. By doing your gentle yoga a minimum of 3 times per week, more when able, I'm now able to manage 3 hours per day out of bed! Thank you so much for decreasing my pain, and for improving my health and my life! Soon I might be able to begin painting again or, dare I hope, to go out to lunch, shopping, or museums again! Maybe eventually back to work part time? Thanks for giving me back a little bit of a life! You are an angel!
Thank you for this yoga class! Sometimes we hold some emotions and when we release we feel pain in our body, so that's why IT's important to make a deep breath and move our body! ❤
Hi Adriene! Found your account 7 years ago, and I just am revisiting some old videos to get back into the swing of Yoga! You have been my teacher for 7 years and I'm sticking with you !
Thank you Adriene! ❤️🙏 And thank you to all of you who are practising today. Every time you make the effort to get on your mat, or simply take a few mindful breaths, you are making a positive change to yourself and thus the people around you. We can't change the world alone, but we can change it together. 🙏🌟❤️🌱
I like how your pants match the dog, i also love your video and humanness of toothspaste recognition! Lol what us yoga teachers dive into, it’s the deep life’s issues of keepin it real. Keep doing your beautywork
I get so much stress on my right side starting between my back bone and shoulder blade and it goes up my neck to my head. I went to physical therapy but didn't exceed completely. This helps me so so so much. Thank you.
Hello from Sydney, Australia! Adriene, I love how you and Benji are color coordinated in this video haha! I absolutely LOVE your yoga videos. Thank you so much for the wonderful work that you do in this world.
This one is a oldie but a goodie. I know we've never met, but I hope you know that your work is my rock and has been for the last 6 years of moving, schooling, going through therapy, and taking life as it comes. Your instruction has always brought me back to my breath and helped me feel good, especially after carrying so much furniture and moving house. You, your work, and your team are a true gift to the world and I want to say THANK YOU!
You are amazing Adriene! You’ve done it again ! I woke up with whole body soreness and I did this video and your lower back and hip release and WOW. Changed the directory of my day ! Sending you all the good vibes today ! Thank you
In some of the stretches I felt a twinge in my abdomen - and burst out crying. Whatever it was that I’ve been holding onto, I feel a little bit better now. Thank you.
"Neck pain is not seeing more than one side." "Choose to let go of anything that's not serving you." Love this perspective & recontextualizing neck & shoulder pain. Thanks Adriene!
I carry so much tension in my shoulders and neck that the pain was getting me down, this helps so much. Thank you Adriene, you have become a part of my daily routine and I look forward to these videos at the end of an intense day at work ❤️
My neck has been giving me some kind of awful nerve pain down my shoulder and upper arm for DAYS. This helped a lot. Its not totally gone but I'm also not in near agony. Thank you
writing this while sobbing lol, its been a rough couple of weeks and stress has taken hold of my mind and body leaving me with tremendous pain in my neck and shoulder area but your videos always make me feel better physically and mentally thank you for all that you do i hope you realize the magnitude of your impact on people.
Adriene, you are simply amazing! I’ve been doing yoga with you for 2 years, I recommended it to so many friends and colleagues already. I started out because of anxiety and very high stress level. Thanks to you I’m soooooo much calmer, I meditate as well. Before it was mission impossible to just sit and meditate or even do yoga. I have grown and changed so much. And you are a big part of that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕
She really is amazing. I too suffered from panic attacks and anxiety. sometimes I just lie and listen to her calming voice. I do not believe in God but she is an Angel :)
@@Melissa-xu2wy Thank you. I know you mean well. I do not believe in God. I believe in fate and universe and physics and myself :) and healing power of nature.
I've had massive knots in my traps for decades and this made a marked difference. This is my second time with this routine so it will definitely be a regular on my rotation, I think ❤
I have been visiting a chiropractor twice a month for maybe 7/8 years with neck and shoulder pain etc and due to the recent lockdown/isolation I haven't been able to attend. I've been doing this session once a day for the last 4 days and I am pain free and not taking painkillers which is practically a miracle for me. Thank you! People have been saying yoga to me for years and it's only in these unprecedented times I gave it a try and now wishing I had many years ago! Stay safe. Stay home!
Fwiw, yoga with Adriene’s production quality for years have been top notch. Now that I compare it to other services like peloton, this is more evident than ever.
Literally (as so many others have mentioned) your timing couldn't have been more perfect! My neck and shoulders have been feeling so tense and this sequence really helped release them! I especially loved that nice big stretch! Shout out to benji (my pug, Dudley, was sleeping next to me while I was doing this too!!) Thanks Adriene!
I Just (again) need to thank you for these videos. When my body is in pain, the best thing to do is to go yoga with Adriene. Painkillers, slepp, go outside to breathe fresh air etc, Ive tried it all but pain wont go away, for days in a row. And then I do one video with Adriene, and body cries 'finially you do the right thing' 😊❤
When you talked about how stress creates tension in the body I felt my eyes begin to water uncontrollable as my mind and body finally connected together. I have had this pain for a long time. I also felt a tear run down my cheek at the end. To some people yoga might be an every day norm but this stretch has awakened a deeper part of my soul. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And your voice is very soothing. Your language is clear and helpful. Great teacher.
This past year has challenged me in ways I never thought possible. Whilst in the midst of a pandemic my husband received a 2nd cancer diagnosis. After many medical appointments out of town, a life altering major surgery, and 1 year expected for recovery, I wasn’t taking care of my own needs. This has shown up as pain and tension in my body., that I just cannot ignore. Today I went back to practice with Adrianne and It is exactly what my mind and body needs. Thank you Adriene for your wonderful videos, aiding me in my return to a more healthful body and spirit. Namaste. 🙏💕
I can't explain the emotions in words .. i was feeling depressed yesterday like staring at the blank wall for hours... I did your yoga for release this morning and I immediately burst into tears. Yet my neck & shoulders felt tight and I did this sequence and my neck strain has gone.... Woohoo it feels so light... Thank you so much Adriene ❤
I came to the comment section to see if anyone else felt an emotional release doing this practice! I’ve had a rough couple of weeks with heightened anxiety and I kept feeling like my neck stiffness was related to that. Doing this practice not only released my neck stiffness - about halfway through it I started to feel tears coming on and I cried the rest of the way. Really made me sit with my emotions. Acknowledged my body and mind and feel the better for it!
I keep coming back to this video every time I have neck and shoulder pain. This routine helps tremendously! I'm so thankful for you and all you've done to help so many. You're the best.
I hold tension in my shoulders and traps and this video always helps me reset! I highly recommend this for anyone who has posture and stress related neck pain. Thank you Adriene for making all of your videos so comprehendible and welcoming too!!
Thank you so much for continuing to share your practice with us. I've only been apart of the FWFG family for 5 months now, but I've never felt stronger. 💪🏼
Day 11 of Courage today and this was so gentle but just right and I was holding a lot more tension in my shoulders and neck than I thought. I was talking to a friend the other day about styles of practice and we differed in our opinions when she said she loved a “brutal” practice. Now I LOVE yoga but I feel brutal should not be a word that one uses to describe it. Yes at times we push ourselves a little further but that should be mindful and as Adriene would say “what feels good”. Thank you for all your amazing videos, they are a source of strength and smiles during these COVID times! :)
My boyfriend doesn't do yoga, but he only considers brutal training sessions as worthy of his time basically. That's why he almost never works out. I guess if he found the joy of simple, light movement at times, he wouldn't play games all day, but instead exercise more. Well, his loss.
I came here for neck relief which I absolutely needed but came off the mat with more than that. I thought I just slept wrong until we came to the last part with hands clasped behind the head, looking down, elbows in. Then I cried which was another amazing release I didn't know I needed. The body and the mind are definitely interconnected. As always, Adriene came to the rescue.
I just had the same experience. I'm trying to get relief from a pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder, knowing subconsciously that it's probably due to stress. And hearing that reminder that the body and mind are connected opened the flood gates of emotion. What an unexpected and welcome release.
The same thing happened to me, I started sobbing during the same part, out of the blue! I suppose I really needed a release of all the emotion I've been holding in my shoulders
I have been doing your videos every morning as well as writing my morning prompts: 1. my daily intentions, 2. what I'm grateful for, 3. who I'm grateful for, 4. My Main Goal today, 5. How can I be the best version of myself and 6. Affirmations. I can't begin to express how much calmer, solution oriented and just overall happier these has made me feel. Thank you for your videos they are a huge help.
This practice made me cry. It’s been a rough day... Suddenly, there have been too many like that lately. My neck still felt stiff so I stretched a little bit more while crying my lungs out. Thank you for making me feel alive!
So glad I'm not the only one who's cried doing this. There must be something about neck pain. Perhaps like Adrienne said, it's connected to our emotions, so releasing that pain releases emotion
i did too.... p sure my neck pain is caused by stress tension...but then the neck pain makes my stress worse...and the cycle continues. So the relief just made me start crying. What a shock. Even the subtle adjustments she said to do make such a difference. And the fact that it's so hard for me to breathe well says a lot i think.
This is such a great addition to the Yoga for Migraines video! So much of my pain either starts or also occurs in my neck. This was perfect for me today. Thank you for all you do Adriene!
Sincerely thankyou, I have been using this video for years for my neck and upper back relief. I've had times when Ive had a headache, done this video and then found the headache has gone. Much appreciated.
I can’t thank you enough Adriene for this video, and many others! This one in particular has been a frequent companion for me the last year plus. I’ve been fighting and recovering from some nearly fatal blood infections the last 4 years, and the last 3 I have been 99% bed bound and often unable to even sit up. Most yoga is completely out of my realm of possibility, but on my good days I can do this whole routine in bed!! It’s SO healing and restorative for me, and I come back over and over! My muscles have atrophied horribly, and this helps me strengthen and restore my body’s alignment. I know I don’t know you, but I feel like you are a dear friend who comes to my house just to encourage and help me! Thank you SO much for putting out these videos, I am ever so grateful! 💗. Peace be with you my friend! Namaste!
Try turpentine! Will clean your blood and everything else. Google the amazing Dr. Jennifer Daniels and what this Harvard graduate 👩🎓 uncovered re: big PHARMA.
this is crazy, had severe neck and shoulder pain the last month, my cramped muscles were even pressing onto a large nerve-bundle, i was in pain night and day. a doctor could not help me with a muscle relaxing injection, pain meds and warmth pads, even exercises i knew and tried did not help. now i am doing this routine here for a few days every day and the pain has become so much better, it is almost gone. thank you so much!
I am still having these neck pain episodes. I work in an office and I tend to sleep in unhealthy positions at night, but when I do these exercises, the tension is completely gone within a day or two and it has become less since I do them on a regular basis. That is groundbreaking, for years I had this back pain every 2 or 3 weeks, always in the same spot and I just thought that I need to wait and it will dissolve by itself. I was stupid....
I am always filled with gratitude doing your workouts Adriene. I often reach for this one when I'm feeling a little wrung out and your approach and your spirit (and Benji's) lifts me. Imagine how many souls you lift and how many people smile at you with gratitude as we say Namaste.
This is my first ever yoga sequence that I completed and I actually shed tears at the end because of the relief i felt in my neck and in my body. Thank you so much. 🙏
I just want to express my gratitude for this video. I've been struggling with neck and shoulder pain for over a year. I finally found relief after doing this simple routine. It's empowering to know that there is a way to control my pain and find relief. Thank you!
Samara Napolitan I understand how you feel. I was getting constant headaches. Every single day all day long. A chiropractor told me several years ago they originated in my neck in shoulders. Muscle tension headaches or something like that. Doing this routine regularly has made them so much more manageable. I’m glad you have found relief too. 💜
Dear Adriene, Thank you for doing this for free. I'm currently on day 14 on 30 Days of Yoga. Your videos make me smile . Today my neck felt really sore and my shoulder and back area felt tight. And I saw this and I was like. Adriene ! How did you read my mind? Also, I do basketball and volleyball camps and after I feel really tight, Can you make a video for people in sports ? Thank you for everything Adriene
Adriene, my husband and I found you during Covid times and appreciate everything you did for us then, and continue to do for us now. I've taken a break from yogi, but when Covid hit me a month ago once again, along with a sinus infection, I came back to your videos. You are an angel to me.
Hello everybody who has been appreciating this absolutely wonderful trainer's workouts! Adriene by herself is socalming and encouriging at the same time, that I wish her all the blessings in the world! Many many thanks! Tatiana from Russia
Adriene - Thank you for continuing to show up for me. I have been following you for a couple of years and after many different classes both online and in person, yours have been the only ones that I desire to be consistent with. It has everything to do with your ability to communicate and really plug yourself into understanding where one may be at, at any given time. I cannot stress how important that quality is, whether we are speaking in relation to yoga or beyond. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate the work you're doing, your genuine approach to your community practice and your personal authenticity. Keep doing the work, keep encouraging others to find what feels good to them. So grateful! xoxo
You are fantastic,Adriane! All day I had shoulder pain and became more grumpy by the minute. Now,after your video, the pain is gone, the grumpiness is gone and I feel so much lighter. Thank you so much!
I wanted a good stretch on my shoulders since I’ve been trying to get rid of trigger points and during the session I started crying. The energy work Adriene does in her practice is real. Thank you & namaste 🙏🏼
Every time I do yoga I always think “this isn’t doing anything, this isn’t doing anything.” And then once I’m done stretching whatever body part I was targeting in my practice, I lay down on my back and I feel all the work I just did come together 😂 didn’t feel how great this was till I laid down.
Benji absolutely would be sighing and breathing with you. After all your practice together, and your bond, you two would have coregulating nervous systems ❤ a beautiful connection.
After thinking I'll just give this a try, back at the beginning of January, it's now day 58 in the books! I'm on a recovery journey and daily yoga has turned out to be a true blessing. Thank you and namaste 🙏
hey there. I want to thank you very much for these exercises. almost teary eyed as I write this. Im 27 and suffer from terrible neck and upper back pain, and huge muscle knots in my neck and upper trapezius. I have a torn shoulder capsule from when I used to compete professionally in a sport, and my injury creates pain and problems for me every single day, every movement of my arm. I can barely tie my hair up without my arm just having to come back down. I haven't done yoga from youtube before, but I've been doing yoga since I was about 9 so I thought I would give something new a try, and see if there was yoga I could use for my pain. I've always been scared to in case it makes it worse. I feel like any little thing sets it off. Anyway, I REALLY felt the release in these poses. wow, they are so simple yet so effective. there were some that just randomly made me start laughing - obviously I'm releasing tension. really fantastic exercises. for anyone with neck pain, from car accidents or injuries or whatever....for me this really worked and I have a serious injury. so I hope it helps you too. and thank you for making this video. it is very sincerely appreciated
Thank you! This has relieved so many headaches for me. I do it whenever I need a reminder to un-hunch, open up and find some melty-ness. It made me realize how much tension I hold and create in my posture. Such a game changer. Thanks again!
Hey Adriene.. do you know what..... its only hitting me now that you dont have any ads while your video is being played.. thanks for that :)
Abhishek I have 2 ads before every video
@@alanwolf5632 Read my comment again mate.. it says , "while the video is playing".
good luck :)
That is genuinely very nice of her, I would even actually watch the ad !!
I noticed the same thing during this video in particular!
@@AR-os2uw yes!
7 year old video but she said “demure” and “mindful.” Love how you’re always relevant!
I just did this practice on Christmas day before the family shows up. I thought the same thing about "demure" and also "sharing the video with friends and foes." Ahaha
Would love a compilation of Benji’s best/ most relaxing moments. What a great assistant. His presence radiates so much peace, coziness, love, and warmth 🥰
I love the benji matching pants in this one
😊
Oh, he truly does! He's like an emotional support animal for this channel; he somehow radiates his calm even through a video.
Clever username btw; made me smile.
i agree!!❤
I’ve been alternating this practice with Sunrise Yoga and 6 Minute Yoga For Hips for six weeks now and I am not exaggerating when I say my life has improved exponentially. My anxiety has dropped dramatically; my intellectual ability has increased; and a host of mobility issues have also resolved themselves. Thank you so much for all you do.
That's great! I think I will follow suit. Have a great day & Namaste.
Totally going to try this sequence for a week!
I need to take a moment to say that I have had frozen shoulders for about 4 years from working in pipefitting. And about a year of recurring neck immobility and pain where my right shoulder would turn into a rock and go into spasm.
I practically cured it with this routine. At one point I was letting my arms down and my shoulders let out an otherworldly amount of cracks as if they JUST released all of the tension they’ve been carrying the past 4 years. It feels incredible and I have only you to thank. My wife is a HUGE fan and she told me to try this. So glad I did. Thank you so much. You’re a fantastic human.
ShuddleBuppitz : Chinese 20$ Massage
That's it I'm doing it too
I have had frozen shoulder in both shoulders now. 2 years apart. Now I am dealing with tendinitis in one shoulder. So going to try this. I've been doing her 30 days this month and doing fine since I had a cortisone shot in my arm, but it wore off this past weekend and so sore when holding my arm over my head at an angle. So disappointing! Wanted to finish this month pain free! So taking it easy with the routines and doing what I can do. I'll definitely be doing this for neck and shoulders! Great to read your comment and know I'm not alone with this!!
While doing this flow, I kept thinking, "Wow. She is so wonderfully expert-a master of her craft, a helping heart-and yet relatable." And then when you said you looked down and saw toothpaste on your shirt... I saw toothpaste on MY SHIRT, TOO.
Cosmic. You have a gift for connection.
But at least you guys brushed your teeth! :-)
Haha this is amazing
I so appreciate Adriane and all her help and advice
so - toothpaste on the shirt is required. I'll have to remember that... lol.
Came here to say something very similar :D I bursted out laughing when Adriene saw the toothpaste on her shirt, opened my eyes and saw that I also had toothpaste on my shirt and laughed even more. Had to stop the video and just laugh :P Felt awesome :)
I carry my whole life in my neck and shoulders - thank you for giving me some relief!
Me too!! Can't wait to try this
Adriene: Ends Practice
Me: Wait... that was 17 minutes already?!?!
Awesome Practice, thank you Adriene. Namaste :)
Me after every single video/practice!!
Same :)
Same
Yeah that felt very quick
I read your comment before the video and still felt this way after finishing, flew by
Every time you say “this is Benji” he opens his eyes ❤️
Soledad González Ruiz and he is so funny 😆 I
I SWEAR THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TODAY!!! Love you Adriene!!
I swear this is exactly what I wanted to write in the comment section))
ditto x2
CanvasLid me too !!! I was going to write the same thing ! Really thank you Adriene 🌸 perfect timing
I was also about to say exactly the same. Thanks for always being there with a video that speaks to exactly what I need!!
Exactly what I wanted to say too! Been having shoulder and neck pain the entire weekend
I just did this video at 10pm with my 5yo who was refusing to go to sleep. By the end, my neck and shoulders were feeling much better and my 5yo was asleep. Thank you Adriene 💖
Today I was desperate to try anything to avoid a visit to the ER. My pain was at a level 10+. I'm under pain management, nothing is working, and the ER was going to charge me a huge co pay for short term relief. So I did what I could in the video and now I'm crying because my pain has significantly decreased to a 6/7. I'm giving myself an hour and trying this routine again. I wish you could feel what I feel right now.
My heart is with you so much on this ❤️ It's those little moments of less discomfort that can make a huge difference. I hope moments of relief come more frequently for you soon.
This is the same reason I am here. My pain is not as severe as an ER visit, but I have been battling this extremely stiff neck for the last two weeks. It has begun to affect my sleep.
So happy for you!.Keep going! We are behind you all the way.
I’ve just tried two of your videos for neck shoulder and arm pain which I have been seeing a physio every 3 weeks for and can say that they definitely feel looser! Will be adding these into my daily routine from now on
After completing this routine I became teary eyed myself because the amount of relief I felt was amazing, my neck and shoulders haven't felt this good in years
I did this in a wheelchair
Adriene, it would be a great idea to put together a playlist of yoga that can be done in a wheelchair if you haven't already! Would be a really inclusive thing to do for people using wheelchairs!
Hi, my name is Susan (this is my son's channel Im commenting from). I actually teach chair yoga. A cushioned folding chair works well, or even wheelchairs too. Most asanas can be done on a chair, just think about what you're capable of and listen to your body... it's your best teacher.
I tend to turn to yoga alot when I'm anxious, depressed, etc. (as well as tight) and so by extension I end up turning to your videos in times of need, it wasn't purposeful, I literally just youtubed "yoga for anxiety" and stumbled upon it. You've weirdly talked me through breakdowns, breakups, deaths, and long days in general, so just wanted to say thank you, love the subtle bits of humor and your constant reminders of "letting go"
if you didn't know how many likes you got, here's a comment to let you know 😊
turn to Jesus He is so much better
This is beautiful

❤❤❤ I can't even tell you how much this is helping my neck and back!! I hold so much tension there and everything is always so tight. After just a few sessions, I am already regaining a much freer range of motion in my neck. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
Yoga with Adriene gets me out of the bed in the morning.
When I feel tempted to stay in bed a little longer, I think to myself, I'll miss out on Yoga, meditation and a nice hot shower before work and get out of the bed. Thank you for helping me with tension, pain and anxiety over the years.
Hey Adriene, I have been doing this video just over a year now and it completely healed my neck. But recently I woke up with extreme neck pain again. When I did the video and you talked about not seeing two sides or both sides, that comment finally resonated with me! I am struggling with a personal issue and realized I hadn't ever taken the time to see the situation from the other's perspective. I had a peaceful sleep last night with positive dreams about the person. So thank you!!!
Benji is just the chillest assistant there is :)
The best!

Rune Meijer yea hes sleeping on the job
Sleeping IS his job. Lol!
Thank you Adriene! Your yoga videos here are a treasure trove to me. I do a lot of computer stuff and also my ADHD meds tend to lock up my shoulder and neck area whenever I pick them up after a break.
This sequence in particular has helped me a ton already. Today I've been feeling an impending migraine ramping up for hours already, and it immediately started subsiding after I did this lesson. Just water and this sequence!
It feels amazing to be able to intercept the escalation this way, and forgo a bunch of liniments and pills and hours of drowsy misery trying to sleep it away once it hits full force.
So thank you so much. It feels like you're offering me a present every time I tune in.
I am a 52 year old veteran with neck and shoulder issues. I decided to do this shoulder and neck session with you and as I'm typing and can already feel the relief. I plan to subscribe and continue with you Adriene.
I'm having a weird pain going throw my body effecting my left ribs amd my right kidney. I had neck surgery 13 years ago. I am now suspecting my nerves in my neck are affecting my ribs and organ disfunction after they checked my organs my blood and that I have no kidney stone to obstruct my kidney. They are all baffled and are sending me for an MRI. I'm now wondering if the nerves in my neck where I had the surgery are causing all this and it makes me wonder if organ failure, in mysterious cases is directly related to that very thing.
This really worked. I didn't really get into yoga. But I was feeling a lot of tense in my neck and back areas. So during this time of quarantine, I thought it would be great for my daughter and me to do something different. My daughter's body got so relaxed she almost went to sleep lol. Thank you so much. My body is happy.
I just tried this video during my quarantine time too. Definitely helped :)
Omg! So did we!
Same here WFH added intensity to my shoulder and neck but these yoga poses help me tremendously!
Welcome all y'all! You have found the magic that is Adriene! :) Check out some of her other videos; she is just so wonderful. I've been doing daily yoga (bc of her!) for about three years now and rely on it each and every day.
That's sweet that you do exercise with your daughter. People underestimate how much stress & tension children can hold in their muscles because they are so resilient overall. I am aware of this because i remember when i was a kid i would give my parents v high quality massage & then when it was my turn they would always say i didn't need as much because i was still young. haha gdi. Actually, i think the amount of tension most adult humans hold in their bodies is probably to an unhealthy extreme that no animal was ever meant to reach.
I've struggled with BAD migraines and tension headaches for years; I've taken more pills than I care to think about but doing this set of stretches helps me DAILY. Most days if I do these in the morning, I can kill any potential headache coming my way. THANK YOU for helping so many people, myself included.
I haven't considered doing these to help prevent migraines and neck/shoulder pain. Thanks to your comment, I will try it as a preventative as well. :)
thanks for this comment! i have migraines more frequently lately and will do this first thing to try to ward them off.
I think these videos with poses that look oh so simple but feel so intense and impactful are some of my favourites. It really reminds me how magical and complicated the human body is, and how little it takes sometimes. My neck has felt like cement for days but now it's like butter. I swear I had a pop and release in my ribs doing this!
Yesterday I was checking if you had any videos for neck tension, but didn't find that much, and now this was uploaded just 10 mins before I started looking for a video for my yoga for the day. Sometimes things have a way of working themselves out. :)I started with your 30-day challenges in february this year, and have continued doing yoga every day since then, mostly following your videos, but you have also helped me be able to do yoga on my own. Thank you so much Adriene! Awesome channel, you are really including everyone who wants to do yoga in your practises. ❤
Rebecka Nilsson me too!!!
I started out with the 30 days of yoga and revolution in January, followed by yoga camp and now repeating the cycle. Also doing other videos in between.Haven't missed a day yet.
I've been searching for a neck shoulder one too. work is hard on mine, and I'm so excited to see this!!!
Rebecka Nilsson a gift from the universe, awesome!!! :)
Top five things you can do for yourself:
1. Yoga with Adriene
2. Exercise
3. Eat healthy and drink lots of water
4. Have a good dog like Benji, or a good cat if you like
5. Delete all toxic social media
this advice is really good
Only missing a dog. But I renting so it's nearly impossible 😭
Another thing you can go for small gardening as well, indoor plants or outdoor, keep your own small home green. make your kitchen, balcony, windows green.
My parents won't let me to get a dog 😭😔
I thought "read more" was on your list.
As a boxer with a chronic neck and shoulder pain, yoga with Adrienne is a New Years resolution and it’s going great so far
I hope you've continued.
I love how you and Benji dressed the same today! Your videos bring me so much JOY - your voice smiles :)
Well that was just the loveliest 17 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. It flew by - and was so peaceful and calming and (as she always knows) just what I needed today.
Hi, Adrienne! I just realized while doing this workout that your constant reminders to tuck the hips, heart over hips, head over heart, and imagine that string pulling straight up is having a positive effect on my crumbling spine. I suffer from debilitating osteoarthritis in my spine, with bone spurs, crumbling vertebrae, and degenerative disc disease, with some locations completely missing discs. I had been limited to 2 hours of easy activities out of bed per day. By doing your gentle yoga a minimum of 3 times per week, more when able, I'm now able to manage 3 hours per day out of bed! Thank you so much for decreasing my pain, and for improving my health and my life! Soon I might be able to begin painting again or, dare I hope, to go out to lunch, shopping, or museums again! Maybe eventually back to work part time? Thanks for giving me back a little bit of a life! You are an angel!
It never fails to amaze me… whenever I have any sort of pain I can always find a video in Adriene’s collection to address it ♥️
So true!
@@TinyBallOfHate absolutely foolproof there is always with Adriene and Benji
Thank you for this yoga class! Sometimes we hold some emotions and when we release we feel pain in our body, so that's why IT's important to make a deep breath and move our body! ❤
7 years later… still helping humans in pain like me. Blessings to you Adriene. ❤
I agree. I do this every day.
Hi Adriene! Found your account 7 years ago, and I just am revisiting some old videos to get back into the swing of Yoga! You have been my teacher for 7 years and I'm sticking with you !
Thank you Adriene! ❤️🙏
And thank you to all of you who are practising today. Every time you make the effort to get on your mat, or simply take a few mindful breaths, you are making a positive change to yourself and thus the people around you. We can't change the world alone, but we can change it together. 🙏🌟❤️🌱
Lovely! Thank you
I like how your pants match the dog, i also love your video and humanness of toothspaste recognition! Lol what us yoga teachers dive into, it’s the deep life’s issues of keepin it real. Keep doing your beautywork
Thanks, Adriene, I have had neck and shoulder problems for a long time. Looking forward to using these exercises for relief.
Explore Infinity 🙏
I get so much stress on my right side starting between my back bone and shoulder blade and it goes up my neck to my head. I went to physical therapy but didn't exceed completely. This helps me so so so much. Thank you.
Hello from Sydney, Australia!
Adriene, I love how you and Benji are color coordinated in this video haha!
I absolutely LOVE your yoga videos. Thank you so much for the wonderful work that you do in this world.

I’ve been doing this sequence for more than 3 years and every single time it hits different
This one is a oldie but a goodie.
I know we've never met, but I hope you know that your work is my rock and has been for the last 6 years of moving, schooling, going through therapy, and taking life as it comes. Your instruction has always brought me back to my breath and helped me feel good, especially after carrying so much furniture and moving house.
You, your work, and your team are a true gift to the world and I want to say THANK YOU!
You are amazing Adriene! You’ve done it again ! I woke up with whole body soreness and I did this video and your lower back and hip release and WOW. Changed the directory of my day ! Sending you all the good vibes today ! Thank you
In some of the stretches I felt a twinge in my abdomen - and burst out crying. Whatever it was that I’ve been holding onto, I feel a little bit better now. Thank you.
"Neck pain is not seeing more than one side."
"Choose to let go of anything that's not serving you."
Love this perspective & recontextualizing neck & shoulder pain. Thanks Adriene!
I carry so much tension in my shoulders and neck that the pain was getting me down, this helps so much. Thank you Adriene, you have become a part of my daily routine and I look forward to these videos at the end of an intense day at work ❤️
Do you have a problem with you neck?
How is now your pain?
Thank you so much for this, Adriene
My neck has been giving me some kind of awful nerve pain down my shoulder and upper arm for DAYS. This helped a lot. Its not totally gone but I'm also not in near agony. Thank you
Same! This was a life savor today!
Exactly what I’ve been dealing with for a couple of weeks. This has helped me before when I had a different upper back pain. It’s a great sequence ❤
got the same problem, that's why I did this session today. Hope y'all doing better
How are you now has your pain gone??
writing this while sobbing lol, its been a rough couple of weeks and stress has taken hold of my mind and body leaving me with tremendous pain in my neck and shoulder area but your videos always make me feel better physically and mentally thank you for all that you do i hope you realize the magnitude of your impact on people.
Adriene, you are simply amazing! I’ve been doing yoga with you for 2 years, I recommended it to so many friends and colleagues already. I started out because of anxiety and very high stress level. Thanks to you I’m soooooo much calmer, I meditate as well. Before it was mission impossible to just sit and meditate or even do yoga. I have grown and changed so much. And you are a big part of that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕
She really is amazing. I too suffered from panic attacks and anxiety. sometimes I just lie and listen to her calming voice. I do not believe in God but she is an Angel :)
@@Melissa-xu2wy Thank you. I know you mean well. I do not believe in God. I believe in fate and universe and physics and myself :) and healing power of nature.
Great routine. Will try and incorporate this into my daily yoga routine. Thank you Adrienne.
I've had massive knots in my traps for decades and this made a marked difference. This is my second time with this routine so it will definitely be a regular on my rotation, I think ❤
I have been visiting a chiropractor twice a month for maybe 7/8 years with neck and shoulder pain etc and due to the recent lockdown/isolation I haven't been able to attend. I've been doing this session once a day for the last 4 days and I am pain free and not taking painkillers which is practically a miracle for me. Thank you! People have been saying yoga to me for years and it's only in these unprecedented times I gave it a try and now wishing I had many years ago! Stay safe. Stay home!
That's amazing! I'm so happy for you
Adriene isn't just a yoga master, but also a mentor to heal your soul ❤️
This is exactly how I feel! Both her and Benji! 🥰
This was so so needed today after the last 10 days of COURAGE June 2020 playlist! Shout out to shoulder love!
¡Necesitaba esta rutina! Muchas gracias por hacerme volver a conectar conmigo misma.
Fwiw, yoga with Adriene’s production quality for years have been top notch. Now that I compare it to other services like peloton, this is more evident than ever.
Literally (as so many others have mentioned) your timing couldn't have been more perfect! My neck and shoulders have been feeling so tense and this sequence really helped release them! I especially loved that nice big stretch! Shout out to benji (my pug, Dudley, was sleeping next to me while I was doing this too!!) Thanks Adriene!
My pug Gizmo was sleeping next to me hhahahaha
So this is the second lockdown in France, it’s been a week now and it hit me really hard, this video just saved me. Thank you for everything you do ♥️
sending you lots of support from Germany, hope you get through it alright
@@rica3947 thank you Kim that’s so sweet, it’s better now, good luck to you guys too x
Lockdowns are so hard. I hope you find ways to cope with it. Wishing you good luck
We are all on the same boat sadly. Keep strong!!
I Just (again) need to thank you for these videos. When my body is in pain, the best thing to do is to go yoga with Adriene. Painkillers, slepp, go outside to breathe fresh air etc, Ive tried it all but pain wont go away, for days in a row. And then I do one video with Adriene, and body cries 'finially you do the right thing' 😊❤
When you talked about how stress creates tension in the body I felt my eyes begin to water uncontrollable as my mind and body finally connected together. I have had this pain for a long time. I also felt a tear run down my cheek at the end. To some people yoga might be an every day norm but this stretch has awakened a deeper part of my soul. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And your voice is very soothing. Your language is clear and helpful. Great teacher.
This past year has challenged me in ways I never thought possible. Whilst in the midst of a pandemic my husband received a 2nd cancer diagnosis. After many medical appointments out of town, a life altering major surgery, and 1 year expected for recovery, I wasn’t taking care of my own needs. This has shown up as pain and tension in my body., that I just cannot ignore. Today I went back to practice with Adrianne and It is exactly what my mind and body needs. Thank you Adriene for your wonderful videos, aiding me in my return to a more healthful body and spirit. Namaste. 🙏💕
Praying for you.
I can't explain the emotions in words .. i was feeling depressed yesterday like staring at the blank wall for hours... I did your yoga for release this morning and I immediately burst into tears. Yet my neck & shoulders felt tight and I did this sequence and my neck strain has gone.... Woohoo it feels so light... Thank you so much Adriene ❤
I came to the comment section to see if anyone else felt an emotional release doing this practice! I’ve had a rough couple of weeks with heightened anxiety and I kept feeling like my neck stiffness was related to that. Doing this practice not only released my neck stiffness - about halfway through it I started to feel tears coming on and I cried the rest of the way. Really made me sit with my emotions. Acknowledged my body and mind and feel the better for it!
Thanks! I love your sense of keeping it real. You always put a smile on my face and a giggle in my heart.
I keep coming back to this video every time I have neck and shoulder pain. This routine helps tremendously! I'm so thankful for you and all you've done to help so many. You're the best.
I hold tension in my shoulders and traps and this video always helps me reset! I highly recommend this for anyone who has posture and stress related neck pain. Thank you Adriene for making all of your videos so comprehendible and welcoming too!!
Adriene, you are a blessing to the world.
Amazing! I’ve been dealing with upper back/neck pain and this was a huge help.
I’ll be doing it again
Thank you so much for continuing to share your practice with us. I've only been apart of the FWFG family for 5 months now, but I've never felt stronger. 💪🏼
Day 11 of Courage today and this was so gentle but just right and I was holding a lot more tension in my shoulders and neck than I thought. I was talking to a friend the other day about styles of practice and we differed in our opinions when she said she loved a “brutal” practice. Now I LOVE yoga but I feel brutal should not be a word that one uses to describe it. Yes at times we push ourselves a little further but that should be mindful and as Adriene would say “what feels good”. Thank you for all your amazing videos, they are a source of strength and smiles during these COVID times! :)
My boyfriend doesn't do yoga, but he only considers brutal training sessions as worthy of his time basically. That's why he almost never works out. I guess if he found the joy of simple, light movement at times, he wouldn't play games all day, but instead exercise more. Well, his loss.
Enjoyed this practice so much. Simple and relaxing. Will definitely repeat 😁
I came here for neck relief which I absolutely needed but came off the mat with more than that. I thought I just slept wrong until we came to the last part with hands clasped behind the head, looking down, elbows in. Then I cried which was another amazing release I didn't know I needed. The body and the mind are definitely interconnected. As always, Adriene came to the rescue.
I just had the same experience. I'm trying to get relief from a pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder, knowing subconsciously that it's probably due to stress. And hearing that reminder that the body and mind are connected opened the flood gates of emotion. What an unexpected and welcome release.
The same thing happened to me, I started sobbing during the same part, out of the blue! I suppose I really needed a release of all the emotion I've been holding in my shoulders
I have been doing your videos every morning as well as writing my morning prompts: 1. my daily intentions, 2. what I'm grateful for, 3. who I'm grateful for, 4. My Main Goal today, 5. How can I be the best version of myself and 6. Affirmations. I can't begin to express how much calmer, solution oriented and just overall happier these has made me feel. Thank you for your videos they are a huge help.
This practice made me cry. It’s been a rough day... Suddenly, there have been too many like that lately. My neck still felt stiff so I stretched a little bit more while crying my lungs out. Thank you for making me feel alive!
So glad I'm not the only one who's cried doing this. There must be something about neck pain. Perhaps like Adrienne said, it's connected to our emotions, so releasing that pain releases emotion
i did too.... p sure my neck pain is caused by stress tension...but then the neck pain makes my stress worse...and the cycle continues. So the relief just made me start crying. What a shock.
Even the subtle adjustments she said to do make such a difference. And the fact that it's so hard for me to breathe well says a lot i think.
This is such a great addition to the Yoga for Migraines video! So much of my pain either starts or also occurs in my neck. This was perfect for me today. Thank you for all you do Adriene!
Katie Tedesco I might do this after doing the migraines video. Thanks for the idea 😀
What a good dog Benji was! Always makes me smile.
I haven't started the video yet, but see you reference Benji. My dog is named Benji, too. Must be meant to be. :) (not well behaved though!)
Sincerely thankyou, I have been using this video for years for my neck and upper back relief. I've had times when Ive had a headache, done this video and then found the headache has gone. Much appreciated.
I can’t thank you enough Adriene for this video, and many others! This one in particular has been a frequent companion for me the last year plus. I’ve been fighting and recovering from some nearly fatal blood infections the last 4 years, and the last 3 I have been 99% bed bound and often unable to even sit up. Most yoga is completely out of my realm of possibility, but on my good days I can do this whole routine in bed!! It’s SO healing and restorative for me, and I come back over and over! My muscles have atrophied horribly, and this helps me strengthen and restore my body’s alignment. I know I don’t know you, but I feel like you are a dear friend who comes to my house just to encourage and help me! Thank you SO much for putting out these videos, I am ever so grateful! 💗. Peace be with you my friend! Namaste!
Yoga for abbs
I'm sorry to heart that but glad that this helps. All the same, the story touched my heart and I'm praying for your recovery. God loves you much! :)

Benji is beautiful!
Look at him...He knows he's the goodest of all the boys.
Benjie looks like my Ginger, a red heeler.
What an incredible thing to be able to give so much to the world. Thank you Adriene for your light.
You helped me with my tension migraine, it's not gone but now tolerable.
this is crazy, had severe neck and shoulder pain the last month, my cramped muscles were even pressing onto a large nerve-bundle, i was in pain night and day. a doctor could not help me with a muscle relaxing injection, pain meds and warmth pads, even exercises i knew and tried did not help. now i am doing this routine here for a few days every day and the pain has become so much better, it is almost gone. thank you so much!
which is why an M.D. would never mention yoga ! Bad for business :-(
How is it now. Do you still have problems?
I am still having these neck pain episodes. I work in an office and I tend to sleep in unhealthy positions at night, but when I do these exercises, the tension is completely gone within a day or two and it has become less since I do them on a regular basis. That is groundbreaking, for years I had this back pain every 2 or 3 weeks, always in the same spot and I just thought that I need to wait and it will dissolve by itself. I was stupid....
Thanks. I'm definitely trying this
take care of yourself and only do the exercises slowly and only as far as you can go without pain, the flexibility will come with every session.
Benji is like Yoda, he is a yoga master. Super relaxed. The leg twist is very effective for relaxing the hips, legs, back and neck. Thx
I'm pretty sure I end every yoga session feeling so good and grounded and saying to myself out loud " I LOVE HER".
Linnea Locsin I agree!
Linnea Locsin me too ❤️
I am always filled with gratitude doing your workouts Adriene. I often reach for this one when I'm feeling a little wrung out and your approach and your spirit (and Benji's) lifts me. Imagine how many souls you lift and how many people smile at you with gratitude as we say Namaste.
This is my first ever yoga sequence that I completed and I actually shed tears at the end because of the relief i felt in my neck and in my body. Thank you so much. 🙏
It's 2024 and I'm still watching this 😊
Same. Amazing
One of my favorite go to remedy.
🎉Me too
Me too 💜
Same ❤
A week of “quarantine” yoga with this lady and my acute shoulder and arm pain is almost gone. THANK YOU!!!
A true healer and gift to this earth. We are so lucky to have you Adriene! Thank you thank thank !🙏❤️
Those little moment of shared humanity, like when you’re a bit too hard on yourself over toothpaste on your shirt, shows me we are all the same. 😊
I just want to express my gratitude for this video. I've been struggling with neck and shoulder pain for over a year. I finally found relief after doing this simple routine. It's empowering to know that there is a way to control my pain and find relief. Thank you!
Samara Napolitan I understand how you feel. I was getting constant headaches. Every single day all day long. A chiropractor told me several years ago they originated in my neck in shoulders. Muscle tension headaches or something like that. Doing this routine regularly has made them so much more manageable. I’m glad you have found relief too. 💜
Dear Adriene,
Thank you for doing this for free. I'm currently on day 14 on 30 Days of Yoga. Your videos make me smile . Today my neck felt really sore and my shoulder and back area felt tight. And I saw this and I was like. Adriene ! How did you read my mind? Also, I do basketball and volleyball camps and after I feel really tight, Can you make a video for people in sports ? Thank you for everything Adriene
Sure can!
Where is your tightness?
Adriene, my husband and I found you during Covid times and appreciate everything you did for us then, and continue to do for us now. I've taken a break from yogi, but when Covid hit me a month ago once again, along with a sinus infection, I came back to your videos. You are an angel to me.
Anyone watching in 2024 realize Adrienne was on the “very demure very mindful” trend before it existed!!
Had this exact thought while watching :-)
Yes
So part of that crew
Never heard of this. When in the video did she say it?
I feel like crying after doing this. My body feels like it released so much pent up energy. Yoga is amazing.
Hello everybody who has been appreciating this absolutely wonderful trainer's workouts! Adriene by herself is socalming and encouriging at the same time, that I wish her all the blessings in the world! Many many thanks! Tatiana from Russia

You are good . Your ability to connect with people on the other side of the tube is incredible. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, this released so much tension I was carrying. The relief is unreal.
Adriene - Thank you for continuing to show up for me. I have been following you for a couple of years and after many different classes both online and in person, yours have been the only ones that I desire to be consistent with.
It has everything to do with your ability to communicate and really plug yourself into understanding where one may be at, at any given time. I cannot stress how important that quality is, whether we are speaking in relation to yoga or beyond. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate the work you're doing, your genuine approach to your community practice and your personal authenticity. Keep doing the work, keep encouraging others to find what feels good to them.
So grateful!
xoxo
You are fantastic,Adriane! All day I had shoulder pain and became more grumpy by the minute. Now,after your video, the pain is gone, the grumpiness is gone and I feel so much lighter. Thank you so much!
I wanted a good stretch on my shoulders since I’ve been trying to get rid of trigger points and during the session I started crying. The energy work Adriene does in her practice is real. Thank you & namaste 🙏🏼
I’m a lazy person and the only thing that makes me wanna do something healthy for my body is your channel. Thanks for that ❤
Every time I do yoga I always think “this isn’t doing anything, this isn’t doing anything.” And then once I’m done stretching whatever body part I was targeting in my practice, I lay down on my back and I feel all the work I just did come together 😂 didn’t feel how great this was till I laid down.
Benji absolutely would be sighing and breathing with you. After all your practice together, and your bond, you two would have coregulating nervous systems ❤ a beautiful connection.
After thinking I'll just give this a try, back at the beginning of January, it's now day 58 in the books! I'm on a recovery journey and daily yoga has turned out to be a true blessing.
Thank you and namaste 🙏
hey there. I want to thank you very much for these exercises. almost teary eyed as I write this. Im 27 and suffer from terrible neck and upper back pain, and huge muscle knots in my neck and upper trapezius. I have a torn shoulder capsule from when I used to compete professionally in a sport, and my injury creates pain and problems for me every single day, every movement of my arm. I can barely tie my hair up without my arm just having to come back down. I haven't done yoga from youtube before, but I've been doing yoga since I was about 9 so I thought I would give something new a try, and see if there was yoga I could use for my pain. I've always been scared to in case it makes it worse. I feel like any little thing sets it off. Anyway, I REALLY felt the release in these poses. wow, they are so simple yet so effective. there were some that just randomly made me start laughing - obviously I'm releasing tension. really fantastic exercises. for anyone with neck pain, from car accidents or injuries or whatever....for me this really worked and I have a serious injury. so I hope it helps you too. and thank you for making this video. it is very sincerely appreciated
Thank you! This has relieved so many headaches for me. I do it whenever I need a reminder to un-hunch, open up and find some melty-ness. It made me realize how much tension I hold and create in my posture. Such a game changer. Thanks again!
