Your videos have helped me in so many stages of my life.. through a breakup at 19.. through a mental health struggle at 21 and now through my career anxieties at 24. You add so much value to this world and I’m so grateful you exist!! Thank you so much.
Firstly I want to say that was absolutely brilliant. Secondly I want to thank you Adriene, for not being to brutal to my core today. I've got Aunt Irma, the thing all women dread every month. 🩸 so i was a little worried, about how much core work, we were going to do, because I was thinking of how much pain, I'm in at the minute. So thank you so much, for not making this practice all core related. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are the best yoga teacher ever Adriene. I'm loving all your yoga this month, and every month. See you again tomorrow, for more awesome yoga. Namaste. 🙏 💙
Checking for Build Day 12 (April 2024). I don't swim much anymore, though I love it. I may have to get back into it just to see how I improve while protecting myself with this lovely practice.
Build day 12🎉 I had to take a few breaks today, but most of this practice wasn't too bad for my stiff shoulder and neck. Thank you, Adriene, for todays practice, I'm thankful it wasn't too long. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
Build Day 12 April 2024🚀 What a charming practice! Thank you, Adriene and sweet Benji! Thank you, yoga community, for finding what feels good together🙏
I did this for all the swimmers 🏊♀️ 🏊🏼♂️🏊♀️🏊🏼♂️ in my family, pool,sea and open water, so good for the shoulders and back. As a senior yogi I couldn’t quite make those plank moves. I have strength in my core but not in the arms so I rested a bit. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
I am so grateful for these practices, Adriene. They have become such an integral part of my day and make such a huge difference to both how I feel and how I live my life. Thankyou xxx
BUILD 🔥 | April 12, 2024 | I'm so happy to return to this yummy practice! Amateur swimmer here, but always love a good shoulder and back stretch. So sweet! 🙏
Thank you, Adriene! I've just finished the Flow 30-day yoga journey, so I'm here today. I'm not feeling great as I'm sick, but this little practice keeps me in the flow, even if I didn't do it perfectly today.
Aug 2021 Cultivate Day 12. Started on the mat quite frustrated and irritable for some reason. But then, during the practice, I got lost in just moving my body and listening to my breath. Those planks and the up-dog transitions makes one feel so strong and graceful, doesn't it? Loved the practice today. Feeling so much better now. Sending love to all my fellow Yogis. Wish you a wonderful day ahead!
I always underestimate my own strength. Doing Shift has me pushing myself just a little bit longer, shifting into more planks, getting just a bit deeper into the twist. I'm stronger than I know. Thank you, Adriene.
Trust day 29 here! Enjoying this practice to also slowly recover from bouts of fever due to my vaccine shot. Felt great and really loved those shoulder and heart openers. Now I am dreaming of swimming in the sea!
i swim 3-5x/week, and this practice hits the EXACT spot in the middle of my back that always feels sore from long sessions of constantly clenching & unclenching my shoulder blades. good stuff, adriene, thanks! 👍🏼
I love Benji!!! 🐕 His name is very close to my girl’s. Blue Heelers Rock!!! 🐶 Thanks for supporting us swimmers; it’s what my arthritis & neurologist Drs. recommend along w/ yoga & core exercises.
As I've been getting more familiar with YWA videos (LOVE the monthly playlists SO MUCH) it's so cute seeing more of Adriene and Benji's relationship and Adriene's persistent struggle to keep him in the shots x) So flipping cute.
After a wonderful summer of swimming and starting the process of putting the pool to bed for winter - this practice was perfect! What a nice way to kiss the swim season goodnight 😘
This went by really quickly :) This is the only video that really gives me an idea on how to do upward dog. After 3 years of pretty regular practice, I still stick to belly-to-Cobra, let's see if chaturanga and upward dog will enter the picture sometime :)
Oct 14, 2022 04:44 Intention : play to align I enjoyed this practice that I was amazed to say Namaste that I didn't know the practice is already done. The yummy stretch of the shoulders makes me forget about time and just dive in the sensation, and for this I am thankful. Thank you Adriene See you tomorrow beautiful souls Namaste 🙏
Thank you Adriene for including this in your July 2020 Shift playlist - it was just what I needed after 3 months working from home on a laptop. This practice was a real opener and reminds me to keep sitting up straight and plugging those shoulders back!
Blessed Beloved Beauties! I just realized I did this session last Friday and missed Yoga for Musicians. I misread the calendar. Play Day - 14 was substituted for Yoga for lower back pain which is a yummy practice for the entire body and especially the lower back. I feel much better and I am excited to embark on a successful day. Namaste and Ase 🦋❤🦋
happy to see this back to this series :) :) was a bit run down tday, this flow is a good start of the day :) yes, still not much of a swimmer however enjoying the practice and benji cameo ;P Namaste to all practising from sunny sunny heat wave Singapore
Really enjoyed today even though I am not even at the casual swimmer stage. Thank you, Adrienne for being there for us particularly the last several months. I still struggle with the downward facing dog as my heels refuse to go to the floor.
Day 29 Trust! Lovely enjoyable one today! I swim once in while when have the chance and I think all poses were really benefical for all people, twists were great for my back! Thank you Adriene❤😍
Oh thank you!! Yesterday I was swimming and I literally asked/said to the universe wouldn't it be great if Adriene did a yoga for swimmers video?! Mwah xo
Glad to be able to revisit practice as one PLAY the role of swimmer ... still not much of a swimmer but enjoy the flow Namaste to all practising as I swim along Oct 2022
I'm not a swimmer but I decided to try it and I found it to be an amazing stretch for the whole body. Great practice to get my day started. Thank you Adriene!
As a high school swimmer, I’ve watched this video at least 3 times this season and I always feel spectacular afterwards. You’ve helped me recover from some of my toughest workouts. Thank you so much
Last evening I went to get an ultrasound done on my abdominal organs. During the exam she asked me to breath deeply, hold my breath until she ask me to release my breath. I immediately did my yoga breathing (thanks so very much for all you have taught me about the breath Adrienne❤️). I asked she why she was getting me to breathe this way and she explained that in doing so my diaphragm expands which pushes out my organs from underneath my rib cage. It was so cool to visualize this (thanks again❣️). Love your daily yoga which I have been doing now for a year and you too ❤️
This is a great practice for violinists too! I recently started swimming again regularly because it's supposed to strengthen the muscles you need to play the violin, but that means it also makes the muscles you need to play the violin tired and sore at the beginning...Thank you!
Lovely twist near the beginning, I hadn't done it before and it's already one of my favourites! Also- for some reason the bow at the end gave me the best stretch in the back of the neck 💜PLAY Day 14, October 2022
Hi Anya! Once again we were practicing at the same time, however, I misread the calendar and did this practice last Friday. Today I did Yoga for lower back pain. I really enjoyed Yoga for swimmers last week. Have a great weekend!.😀
@@anyaforestell It's always great to practice with you to Anya! How was your week? Today I enjoyed Yoga for Inner Space. I may be ruining the title. Adriene wore a space suit with antennas. It was a cool session.😎
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 I unfortunately missed that one, but I'm sure it'll roll back around ☺I'm off to today's practice, "Yoga for when you feel dead inside"🧟♀
@@anyaforestell It's cool. It will surly roll back around. I missed that one: Yoga for when you feel dead inside. How was it? I may make it up later today. 😉
Second time doing this, it's full of stretches for the whole body and it was really good after waking up so I'm ready to kick the day energetically! Namaste❤ Cultivate day 12
Finally! I'm a swimmer and never practice yoga after a swimming session because it usually places a strain on my already-tired shoulders. Rather, I practice yoga on my off-days. With this video you've hit the nail on the head though, because it emphazises whole body awarenss and connectedness through the core, which is what swimming is about (and breathing). So thanks! And have a nice day.
I started a bit too late so will have to finish after work. ...well, eight and a half hours later, I finished! Glad I did. My right fingers actually touched the left one doing gomukhasana arms. Maybe a first! And my legs came off the floor in locust. 🙂 Cultivate day 12. 312 days in a row.
Good Afternoon , Fellow Travelers of the Mat this practice was nice , I haven't be swimming in awhile I may do it . But I enjoyed this practice cause my body kept finding what was comfortable and right a bit before my mind was sure . Looking forward to on the mat tomorrow 😀🖖🏽
Just started a regular swimming practice at the end of June after not swimming for many years, and I credit YWA for helping me develop the gentle self discipline to keep it up.
🙏so thankful I have you... today for the first time in a long time I ‘forgot’ I had yoga, dinner cooking I rush upstairs and find you and a short practice... perfect ❣️
Awe! Such perfect practice- specifically- seems to have been „painstakingly designed“ to make me feel at home 🏊🏻 🌊💙 Thank you sooo much for that, dear Adriene. ☺️ Btw, I'm going swimming in my favorite lake in 3, 2, … Oops! I couldn't fail to mention your super, super beautiful outfit. 😍👌🏻 Ok, now I’m done. 👋🏻😘 Namaste. 🙏🏻
Jo Spice Blackwood yeah it’s great especially during lockdown since Poole are shut where I am before the virus I would do 14 hours swim 4 hours gym and 2 hours yoga per week and it was all lead by our coach but obviously now as coronavirus has limited us it’s been really good to have these videos since my coach can’t take all the classes and I’m only 14 so it’s good as I don’t have much knowledge on what I’m doing when it comes to yoga lol
I'm also not a swimmer whatsoever, but was surprised at how different this practice was than a lot of Adriene's others with the varied vinyasas, and I loved the flow! 🙏
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Play Day -.7 is a wonderland for the body. I am internally and externally refreshed with massaged cells and organs. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase 🦋♥️🦋
10.14 🧘🏿♂️ Fourteenth day of PLAY! This was a nice practice today. Really enjoyed doing the twists! Was able to hold the plank and just some downward dog for a bit. It made me happy to see how far I've come!
PLAY 🪁 | October 14, 2022 | I don't get to swim very often, but I do a lot of typing which is why I love coming back to this practice to stretch out my shoulders. I also love the strengthening and the twists to wring out those core muscles (the downward dog to plank to up dog move is so cool and different). Feeling great after this quick practice! 🙏🏊♀
Thank you Adriene for this video. I'm not a swimmer, but I scuba dive. All your videos and especially this one have done wonders for my breathing and buoyancy. You inspire us to be the person we needed to be ❤️
SHIFT JULY 8 day 8 .....was really tired after all the chores at home...still pushed myself to the mat....feeling super proud for doing this today.....would definitely stick on to yoga forever...coz it gives me my self love time.... thank you Adriene...♥️
Love this routine, I'm sure it's helping me to swim 2km even on a weekday evening - normally I'd be aching but doing this routine in the morning really helps stretch and warm up those swimming muscles!
I'm so grateful for this practise. It'll help me to swim better in the waters of life today! I've been really stiff on my upper body this week and today's amazing stretches are already working their magic. Namaste 🙏🏻🤗
This sweet practice is awesome for all the serious swimmers in my family. 🏊♀️🏊🏻♂️🏊♀️🏊🏻♂️ For this senior yogi it reached parts not reached for a while 😂 my right side far more flexible than my left but I don’t swim often so it was all fun. See you tomorrow on the mat for another practice of my choice 🤔 love you Adriene 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💞
I can overstate how much this set gets me nice bits of release and warmth in my back muscles during periods when I have been doing lots of sea swimming. A really lovely and balanced set for the little aches that can set in the days after. Also some wobble inducing strength work to remind me how the water does most of the weight baring :)
I’ve been having issues with several old swimming injuries as a competitive swimmer for four years (specially lower back, shoulders, hamstrings, calves) This was such a huge help, and my body is already feeling the affects of these exercises. Yoga isn’t really something I’ve done much of but this made me fall in love with it 💙
Like others, I'm stiffer around the shoulders while working from home and this felt amazing! Hopefully will get an outdoor swim or two over the summer. Namaste all xx
I appreciate my body for working all day in the heat and still showing up to the mat, I appreciate my mind for mentally making a note to make time for myself and "do my yoga" before bed every night, I appreciate my heart for sharing this practice and letting people into my thoughts about this community (like commenting on this video right now!). Thank you again Adriene, as always,
It's funny to me that now I'm searching for Adriene's video for swimmers, because I've had a phobia of drowning most of my life, and only when I was 30 I swam by myself for the first time. When I was 37 I swam in the deep end and now, being 38, I prefer swimming to hiking, jogging and cycling which were my favourite activities. It's both funny and incredible. So if I managed to face this Water Demon of mine and win, you can conquer any fear you have, you beautiful person reading this! ♥Don't give up on yourself! 💪🏻
It's the first time I practice 'with you' through your videos, Adriene, and wow, this is amazing! You have a gift and I am grateful you are sharing it! Thank you!
I love this practice ! This senior yogi is not a swimmer but I enjoyed those lovely transitions through from Heart to Earth to Sphinx Pose, super yummy stretchy, awesome for the shoulders and for my arthritis ! In the twists my right side was super flexible but left side no where near as good, mmm, definitely an age thing. I wish I had the opportunity to swim, it would help my fitness, but no nearby facilities 😐 that’s why I love my YWA and my yoga mat 🤗 see you tomorrow 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
No lakes Laura and not for me ! 😱 I worry about your sciatica, do take care ! There was some moves in there that wasn’t for me so I slowed it down. It’s beautiful weather here at last 🌸☀️🌿 and it lifts the spirits to see blue sky 😊 sending you positive vibes from here in England 🏴 and ‘No’ there was no shark fin was there ? and we had to do our own namaste ! 🙏 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
I’m a swimmer and have a lot of shoulder issues and this helped so much for post morning practice stretching. Especially on days with doubles I felt a real difference in my second practice
Your videos have helped me in so many stages of my life.. through a breakup at 19.. through a mental health struggle at 21 and now through my career anxieties at 24. You add so much value to this world and I’m so grateful you exist!! Thank you so much.

I also love the strengthening and the twists to wring out those core muscles (the downward dog to plank to up dog move is so cool and different). Feeling great after this quick practice! 🙏🏊♀
Cultivate Day 12. This practice was great. Love you all!❤
I love Adriene's outfit in this video, so on point. :) Great practice, as always. Namaste xo
Not a swimmer but I really loved this practice today!!! Feeling great to start the day at work (homeoffice hahaha) thank youuuu 💕💕💕💕
My upper body really enjoyed this awakening today💪🏻
Thank you Adriene for this video. I'm not a swimmer, but I scuba dive. All your videos and especially this one have done wonders for my breathing and buoyancy. You inspire us to be the person we needed to be ❤️
SHIFT JULY 8 day 8 .....was really tired after all the chores at home...still pushed myself to the mat....feeling super proud for doing this today.....would definitely stick on to yoga forever...coz it gives me my self love time.... thank you Adriene...♥️
Great new-to-me exploration of the shoulders. Thanks from a very amateur swimmer!
Love this routine, I'm sure it's helping me to swim 2km even on a weekday evening - normally I'd be aching but doing this routine in the morning really helps stretch and warm up those swimming muscles!
I'm so grateful for this practise. It'll help me to swim better in the waters of life today! I've been really stiff on my upper body this week and today's amazing stretches are already working their magic. Namaste 🙏🏻🤗
This sweet practice is awesome for all the serious swimmers in my family. 🏊♀️🏊🏻♂️🏊♀️🏊🏻♂️ For this senior yogi it reached parts not reached for a while 😂 my right side far more flexible than my left but I don’t swim often so it was all fun. See you tomorrow on the mat for another practice of my choice 🤔 love you Adriene 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💞
I can overstate how much this set gets me nice bits of release and warmth in my back muscles during periods when I have been doing lots of sea swimming.
A really lovely and balanced set for the little aches that can set in the days after.
Also some wobble inducing strength work to remind me how the water does most of the weight baring :)
Yes yes, a thousand times yes! I've been a swimmer for a couple years now and this routine is so great!
I’ve been having issues with several old swimming injuries as a competitive swimmer for four years (specially lower back, shoulders, hamstrings, calves) This was such a huge help, and my body is already feeling the affects of these exercises. Yoga isn’t really something I’ve done much of but this made me fall in love with it 💙
Like others, I'm stiffer around the shoulders while working from home and this felt amazing! Hopefully will get an outdoor swim or two over the summer. Namaste all xx
A nice beginning to my day! Thank you!
The inner 'mermaid' in me really says thank you & namastê Adriene🧜♀️🌊🧘🏻♀️📿 Loved it!
Love you Adriene! 💜💜💜
Hi Adriene, Im a yoga teacher and surfer/SUP'er in South Africa, - love, love all your classes especially this swimmer yoga class. Well done.
I appreciate my body for working all day in the heat and still showing up to the mat, I appreciate my mind for mentally making a note to make time for myself and "do my yoga" before bed every night, I appreciate my heart for sharing this practice and letting people into my thoughts about this community (like commenting on this video right now!). Thank you again Adriene, as always,
It's funny to me that now I'm searching for Adriene's video for swimmers, because I've had a phobia of drowning most of my life, and only when I was 30 I swam by myself for the first time. When I was 37 I swam in the deep end and now, being 38, I prefer swimming to hiking, jogging and cycling which were my favourite activities. It's both funny and incredible.
So if I managed to face this Water Demon of mine and win, you can conquer any fear you have, you beautiful person reading this! ♥Don't give up on yourself! 💪🏻
Adriene...out of all yogis you are by far the best●you calm my mind..you help me love my body as well as listen to it through yoga❤you are amazing!!
It's the first time I practice 'with you' through your videos, Adriene, and wow, this is amazing! You have a gift and I am grateful you are sharing it! Thank you!
I love this practice ! This senior yogi is not a swimmer but I enjoyed those lovely transitions through from Heart to Earth to Sphinx Pose, super yummy stretchy, awesome for the shoulders and for my arthritis ! In the twists my right side was super flexible but left side no where near as good, mmm, definitely an age thing. I wish I had the opportunity to swim, it would help my fitness, but no nearby facilities 😐 that’s why I love my YWA and my yoga mat 🤗 see you tomorrow 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
You have the lakes near by! 🥶 I'm nervous doing this one w my sciatic but I'm going to go slow and breathe. I hope there is shark fin for you 💙🖤
No lakes Laura and not for me ! 😱 I worry about your sciatica, do take care ! There was some moves in there that wasn’t for me so I slowed it down. It’s beautiful weather here at last 🌸☀️🌿 and it lifts the spirits to see blue sky 😊 sending you positive vibes from here in England 🏴 and ‘No’ there was no shark fin was there ? and we had to do our own namaste ! 🙏 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️💕
@@gillsmith6740 I'm so glad you have your blue skies at last!!! I have that song in my mind now 🌞💙☀️💙☀️💙
Considering I've not swam for a while, this practice is amazing for back, arms and shoulders especially. Feel great !
This felt soo good, like a love letter to my body.🌿🤍
It's true that this practice reduce all risk of injuries. I love it.
Will be joining a 3K swim event a couple of weeks from now. With my body sore from all the training, this is awesome! Thank you.
I’m a swimmer and have a lot of shoulder issues and this helped so much for post morning practice stretching. Especially on days with doubles I felt a real difference in my second practice
