    I started yoga when I was depressed, I started working through my feelings instead of bottling them up, it motivated me to clean my spaces and keep my mind clear, and it made me more attentive to my health. It made me feel not only less anxious but also productive, which was a big problem when I was depressed. I think that because I was able to do it every morning as a part of a routine I proved to myself I was able to do other things too. At the end of the day yoga didn't solely help me out of my depression, but it taught me things that helped me help myself.

    At age 60, yoga is just a daily part of my morning routine. I dont even think about it anymore, meaning it’s same as me brushing my teeth in the morning or having my morning coffee. Not only do I love the idea of waking up my body each morning this way, but there’s both a physical as well as a mental aspect to yoga. I still find it very tough to get into certain positions, but it really doesn’t matter to me. As long as I show up each AM, I know I’m doing right by my body.

    I was someone who suffered from climate anxiety and depression, because of the sheer amount of environmental destruction happening around me, my activism only increased my stress. But soon after I found yoga, these feelings went away, I'm still very much an environmental activist, but I'm much calmer and relaxed than I used to be before.

    This year has been very challenging for me, mainly emotionally. I joined a yoga class in October to distract myself from my thoughts and lift my spirits. Initially, I thought I'll see how I would like it and go once a week. But now I have fallen in love so much, I'll go twice a week! My sleep has improved, and in stressful situations, I am starting to breathe deeply and focus on my breath, just like in a yoga class. I really see "yoga effect" on my mind.

And finally realized that that feeling of patience was “being here and now”- when you don’t live in your past or future.

    Psychologically as for me, i feel this comunication between my mind and body, i start to feel my body, i feel more alive. And as you breathe deeply you let go the tension of everydays stress that caughts up in muscles. I can be deeply in some situation, overthinking it again and again. But once i do these excercises-this shaky state of mind just goes away. You know like being distracted and thorn apart into small little peaces, flowing in negative energy, than you take like 30 minutes on mat, and all shakiness is gone, you feel centered and all peaces stick together.

I went from weak, lazy, angry, entitled, addicted and depressed with no self esteem to healthy, strong, motivated, grateful, in recovery and I am actually really happy again. I just stumbled on it drunk one night while abusing alexa since i had driven away all humans. I asked what are you even good for? Well she showed me a yoga class to help sleep and i tried it and slept, even though I had insomnia at the time. It was enough to convince me to keep going and the farther I go and learn more, well it turned my life around! Namaste and may everyone find their path to inner peace and joy!

    Thanks for giving a perfectly clear definition of yoga right at the beginning of the video. It's critical that all practitioners understand that that is the point of continuous movement with the breath as the priority. The effect is thought stops. If you do this well, you will eventually see chakras as the end of your workout which is evidence you have reached an advanced level of 'yoking the mind'. These visions only come to the fore when your mind has been silenced. Namaste 🙏

    I started yoga after falling into depression back in 2018. It’s on and off from then til early 2023. As of this summer, I have been practicing vinyasa yoga consistently and have decided to make it daily routine.
    Since practicing, I am grateful for a couple things:
    - Flexibility
    - Strength Training
    - Body Tone
    - A Calm Spirit and Mind
    - Reassurance in My Being
    - Ease Going to Sleep
    - Build Up in Environmental and Situational Awareness
    - Control in My Emotions
    And much more.
    If I didn’t start my journey in this practice I fear I would have been stuck where I was. But thanks to yoga, I’ve been able to move on and feel more powerful.

      Yes, it's very beneficial - I have been doing it since 7 years(with some gaps in between); I got minor abs without ever doing crunches, apart from other health benefits.

    Started doing Yoga during lockdown and because I'd developed bursitis in my shoulder and lifting weights agitated it. Found the Breathe and Flow channel and now I do it every day. My strength and flexibility are improving but I still go to the gym a couple times a week for strength training. I will say that my lower back pain, ankle pain and shoulder pain seem to respond really well to daily stretching and building strength gently in those areas. I love it and it's a huge part of my daily life now.

    I can honestly say yoga made me a better husband and dad towards my wife and kids. I'm not as prone to anger, and my anxiety is much more controllable then it used too. It has healed a lot of my aches and pains, and much more. It really does help.

    It irks me to go through the comments where most people are all about Yoga with Adrienne or whoever they idealise. Guys, 'Yog' is a way of life. It is not just a bunch of postures and stretching as many people preach. It has various aspects to it. The food and beverages one consumes, the timing of asana performance, self reflection during mediation and many more. No doubt, the physical factor contributes highly to healing and relaxation but just limiting it to those external phenomena, in my opinion, debases the highly valued, ancient Indian way of life. 🙏

    I don’t need proof on the outside. My subjective experience is enough to convince me. All anyone needs to do is try and and see how it benefits them if they are curious.
    And curious, open observation is the best approach and will yield the best results

      They don't need to, because you can do that yourself (in multiple languages), by tapping on the video and selecting the 3 dots in the right-hand corner. Then select 'Captions' and select the language you want the subtitles to be in.
