  • Yoga with Adriene has taken over the TH-cam World, and expanded to a subscrption service for a deeper dive into her offerings. Adriene never really knew just how big her project would become, and it shows that sometimes it is overwhelming to continuously create for the masses who want her yoga content. She is now is millions of living rooms across the world, and in this interview shares a bit about her thoughts on Yoga elitism in our Modern Western culture, and where the root of that "elitism" may stem from. #yogawithadriene #findwhatfeelsgood #yoga #yogaforveryone

      i guess u have not learnt yoga from the people whom it belongs to and was created by? the indians?
      an avg indian yoga practitioner is way better than the best white yoga teacher.

    • @katrinam6795
      @katrinam6795 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I noticed how good she was after talking to a male l friend of mine. He does yoga with someone else and is all competitive and about the correct shape, whereas Adrienes principle that if a shape doesn't feel good or perfect, It doesn't matter, you go as far as you can today and there are different options, is really ingrained in my practice.

  • @YE55iR
    @YE55iR ปีที่แล้ว +261

    This is why I admire her so much. She is a humble instructor, and her material is thoughtfully communicated to her audience. I have never stepped foot in a studio (yet) due to poor reviews of local yoga studios with hierarchy/ego driven instructors with no sense of humility.

  • @nooneinparticular469
    @nooneinparticular469 ปีที่แล้ว +91

    This is why I’ve always felt so welcome in Adrienne’s studio. My body doesn’t work quite like the average, so I physically can’t do every pose she can do, but she always reminds me that the most important thing is to do your best, not to look exactly like the instructor.

  • @diaxpora
    @diaxpora 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    As a man, and as a subscriber, Adriene has given me so much more than yoga guidance. She has energetically and verbally energised me to be kind to my body. This alone has offered me an opportunity to love myself in ways I didn't know possible at one point in my earlier life. Thanks Adriene 🙏🏽

  • @alyzu4755
    @alyzu4755 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

    As I get older I appreciate her more and more. I no longer go to classes at a yoga studio, as I really get so much more out of her sessions.

  • @christurtle5416
    @christurtle5416 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Before I found ywa I tried a different teacher who moved fast and didn't hold that space. I messed up my shoulder bad enough to need physical therapy to fix it. After that I stumbled upon Adrienes foundation videos and did all of those. Now I have the tools to keep myself safe, but still she is my daily practice go to 💜

    Adriene is wonderful. The yoga classes at my gym can be quite hierarchical which is difficult when you're in a larger body but I try to stay humble, focused on myself and keep in mind this kind of philosophy that yoga is for everybody and every body. Yoga instructors are human too and don't always get it right and that's ok.

    You are so kind Adriene and we appreciate you so much! What if we cannot touch our toes or bend as well as what others expect of us to do, you accept us just the way we are and we love you for that. Over time, amazingly enough, following your sequences and exercises we suddenly realise we are able to touch our toes and bend way more easily than before! Your kindness leads us down the path of self discovery into how brave we are! Love you❤️

Thank you for everything you have done. I’m not kidding when I say your videos literally changed my life.

  • @Milonification
    @Milonification ปีที่แล้ว +14

    This is so valuable. I appreciate this as someone who follows her yoga classes, but also as a facilitator in the spiritual field. It is so important to do what she says here and i have seen the other example she mentions often and how it indeed creates a hierarchy which can be unsafe to people and can give facilitators an inflated sense of self. Which is both potentially dangerous.

    • @yogawellnessclips
      @yogawellnessclips  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Agree here as a facilitator myself it’s a hard role to be in. There is always some question if you should be a facilitator or naming yourself as a learner as well. I think no matter who you are we are all inclined to the inflated sense of self, but hopefully through meditation and connecting back to pure intentions we can create safe, trauma informed spaces for people worldwide.

  • @ada5851

    I love following along with Adrienne's videos because of her philosophy. It was so easy to start as a beginner, while also feeling the benefits of the practice from day one. I thought, as with most exercises, it would take at least a few weeks of commitment to start experiencing results, but I already noticed such a huge shift in my mood and overall attitude from my first day of yoga with Adriene 😊 I'm so not good at, well, being bad at things, but Adriene gave me the assurance to embrace being a beginner. After some time it enabled me to embrace being a beginner in other areas of my life as well.

  • @joseysmith8883

    Adriene is the only TH-cam yoga I can watch for the exact reason she is talking about here. She’s clam, silly, breaks into song, she is a real person and I love doing yoga with her. She is the reason I have a safe space within myself to do yoga anywhere when I need it regardless of the 👀 lookin

  • @nabihawaqar3721
    @nabihawaqar3721 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    😊Yeah, and i see some videos where yogis do a lot of rest in a posture, some like ones she is speaking of. I like her videos, but i love those who go super slow, its almost peaceful. I never practiced advanced yoga. Main thing is to go slow or moderate for me where i can completely breath and be less fidgety. When im done, i go forward. I dont mind skipping a step or two between in order to go slow.

    I've been practicing yoga with Adriene for years! Last December I injured my hand very badly and thought I wouldn't be able to practice anymore, but Adriene is so inclusive and makes space for everyone. She really makes an effort to see the diversity of people and skill levels or abilities. So much love for this yogi

    So true, I was extremely lucky to have had a wonderful yoga teacher who supported and encouraged me to become a yoga teacher myself. I'm 50 in a couple of months, have a knackered spine and need a walking stick but I don't care. It's not a competition, you leave your ego at the door of a yoga class, & that includes the teacher

    @LukaCeraolo 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yoga is a very personal "experience" for me, for many different reason. I started with Adrien a few years ago when I really needed Yoga in my life and then restarted a few months ago and continuing every single day with no exception. I tried other online experiences but, honestly, they've never lasted more than a couple of days: straight back to Adrien! Tha main reason is her calm, humility, capacity to put herself in other people's shoes without judging. And of course the fact that you don't need fancy staff but just yourself and a mat (and possibly a Benji LOL) is a big plus.

    What she conveys, and so many non yogis don't get is wherever you are in your practice is perfect. You never have to do a single "advanced" pose to have a full practice. I can't do plough or shoulder stand or tree pose and I reap the same benefits those who do those poses get.

    She’s so considerate even for the elitist perspective. She could have easily made them “wrong” and her approach “better”. But she didn’t and that’s a tact and skill that showcases her wisdom.
