    Last month we focused on the practice and power of getting clear. This month we embrace the fact that the only constant is in fact, change.
    And so, we practice loving our existence IN THE FLOW.
    We align with the fact that what goes up, must come down and that struggles are in fact… real.
    This month, we use the tools of yoga to build strength from the inside out.
    Ease. Resilience. Flexibility. Joy.
    Catch A Wave.

      Wow, thank you for this. I'm just starting out with Yoga. I'm not a senior yet, but I have a lot of weight to lose so floor work is VERY difficult for me at this time. But I am so happy with myself that I was able to do this. It was a perfect way to start easing myself into a regular Yoga practice. Thank you, again.

    Admire day 17🎉 I needed this after a busy day and a lot of walking yesterday in the mid-day sun. I’m not a senior, but I am thankful for taking today's practice a little slower as I got a bit sunburnt so I'm a bit achy. I should know better than to trust it being cloudy from one part of Auckland and not cloudy in another part 🤦🏼‍♀️. Thank you, Adriene, for this slower pace and mindful practice, it's great even if you aren't a senior. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏

    I am feeling like a senior today. Have had low back pain all day. Had to even modify this practice to work around it.
    I am grateful for a low key day and the realization that coming to the mat is mainly about listening to our bodies and responding to what we need day to day.
    I ADMIRE all of you for practicing today.

    At 69, one would think that I’ve practiced this one, but I haven’t and found it so refreshing! This is why: you didn’t ask us to do goofy stuff that I’ve seen other senior practices do. That’s why I stick with you, my girl! It followed well with the short yet powerful power yoga. I’m a little sore. And yea for the 71 year old body. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only old person that participates in yoga. I tout it to my old girlfriends, but they all say the same lame excuses, that don’t need repeating. Thank you Adriene! You do your best to reach the seniors! And I’m your biggest cheerleader!❤️🙏

      I'll be 69 next month and have been here for 47 days straight! I adored this practice and her soothing voice. Today she made me stop and really listen to my breath. I was afraid this would be too slow, but its amazing how she knows exactly what I need. I too, have been touting the benefits of Yoga to my old girls and actually sent this to a few of them. Looks like Adriene has a whole squad of Senior Cheerleaders!!

    Following the Admire calendar here for 2024, and I have to say how perfect these practices have been for me. They have aligned with my cycles quite well. On my period, came some gentle practices, which was perfect for me, and now I am feeling pain in my ovu cycle and this hip work was perfect for opening and strengthening my hips. I needed this.

    Thank you. You don’t even know what this video means to me. Bad car accident, led to memory loss inducing (24/7) pain, loss of 50% muscle and control over my legs for two years, then spinal surgery. Deficit upon deficit. I was trying to do my favorite yoga from you as my therapy finished, but would end up in tears because I didn’t have the strength or control. Then I found this. Thank you, thank you. It was gentle, it was slow, and my broken body could mostly keep up, which was an incredible encouragement to my soul. Thank you…

    I admire the tenderness that I show to myself.
    So wonderful to take it slower today and really feel into each movement, allowing me to get closer to my inner being and tend to my energy systems. I feel calmed and cleansed ready for the rest of my evening. We can all learn from the older generations, as can be seen in this practice, that fast and furious is not always the way and a more gentle approach to life is much more supportive. Namaste all🙏✨💓🤗 xx

    I'm only 25, but for December 2024, I did this practice. My shoulders are always super tight, but that twist where we led with the elbows and hand on the shoulder was amazing!! My shoulders feel so much less tight now. It's a miracle haha! I'm gonna have to add that to my repertoire, and probably do it every time there's a twist 😁 thanks for this!

    Intention : close my eyes and notice my breath
    What if I tell you that by just breathing mindfully you could lose weight and change your body inside and out says a senior yogi when I was still attending gym classes. She saw me huffing and puffing on the treadmill but don't have the discipline on eating habits after the workout, then she introduced me to yoga and I remember her through this video because this sequence is almost the same thing we did the first time I attended yoga class with her. Since that day I carry that wisdom with me, and although there are some ups and downs on my yoga journey, I am glad that I finally found a channel to help me commit to a lifestyle that will benefit me as long as I can mindfully breathe.
    Thank you Adriene
    See you all tomorrow beautiful souls

    I know this is a really old video, but I had to express my gratitude. I have been following you for years, and in the last 8-10 months I have been very ill, battling long-COVID, long tern effects from that, physical injuries, amongst other things and I’ve barely been able to move the last few weeks. I set an intention today to do yoga. I even set an alarm. Obviously a gentle yoga video of yours was my first choice, and I cried within 30 seconds of starting. I can’t tell you how capable I feel now at the end, and how proud I am of myself for getting through it and listening to my body without getting frustrated along the way. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I can not thank you enough. I will be doing at least this daily until I have built some more strength back. ♥️

    Well, I turned 80 a few months ago. I do lead an active, joyful, and productive life as a gentleman farmer, but recognize that I have grown stiff. A dear friend recommend you to me, and after a search on "beginning yoga for seniors" was delighted to find that yours came up first! In watching this for the first time I see again how 'speedy' I am, wanting to pause and step away from watching after about a third of the way through and start the laundry, but I didn't!! My next step is to actually get on the floor, which is easy for me, and follow along with you as you do the poses. Paying attention to breath seems like a very good direction for me in the future. Thanks for the great video! You have a wonderful, living poise that is restful yet engaging.

    Thank you Adriene. I had eye surgery almost six weeks ago and I have been unable to do anything at all. So when your December plan landed on Sunday I thought - okay lets get back to this and get active for Christmas. Well my anxiety about the eye and the creaking body made me look through the wonderful array of classes. I had hoped to leap back in with an all dancing all moving class but good sense took over - for once - and I just completed the Slow and Gentle yoga, which was fab.. I was probably overly cautious but I so enjoyed moving again that I am going to seek another one for tomorrow and re-build my strength and get back into the flow. I felt you and the community, were right there with me and I thank you. 🥰

    Process Day 17: How can such a slow practice fly by so quickly? I did this practice first thing in the morning and I think it's a peaceful, gentle way to start the day. Before the pandemic I was going to power yoga classes and the slow, gentle classes weren't for me, but since January I've been following the YWA calendars and I try every practice with an open mind. This practice is labeled as "Yoga for Seniors" but I think it can beneficial for anyone to bring calm and peace to their day. By the way, I like the piano music playing in the background.

    This is my very first experience of yoga. I am 57and I am always stiff and sore, I need to lose some weight and I want to be more mindful and work on my mental health.
    Loved this video, I was able to do it, not particularly well, but I did do it.
    It helped my mindset as well as my body, I felt great afterwards.
    I will make sure to make time for myself each day to practice this, I'm sure I'll get better at it in time.
    This is day 1 towards a fitter, happier me.
    Thank you Adriene.

    I began looking for some thing to help as my body has stiffened since I stopped working and I was recently diagnosed with BP issues. Being overweight and living in the Sonoran desert (literally dirt roads) with lots of hot temps and rattlesnakes makes it difficult to get outside for walks ..?so We’ve taken up your yoga classes.
    We get up at 4AM just to do this video before he leaves for work.
    It’s giving us better flexibility and a nice zen state to begin our day!!
    Thank you so very much for breathing some life into us. Love your videos, your instructions and your respectful ways. Namaste ❤️

Had two surgeries and have many metal rods inside my legs. I used to be able to follow your most challenging videos and had such good time practicing with you. Thought I’d never be able to have that joy ever again. However, today for the first time in months I had the best half an hour with you. Thank you so much Adriene. Knowing what you and your body capable of, you slowing down just for us is amazing. God bless you.

    But then, I get a notification from you..........
    And I think THIS IS WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR!!!!
    In today's world,negativity and hating on others is da trend.....
    But, I've been practising with you for the past 3 years(maybe 4) but I havent seen a single negative comment.

    at 71 I have completed 3 of the wonderful 30 days of yoga without missing a day. My first attempt I got about half way through and then did 6 days in hospital. Lion's Breath aftermath. So I started over when I healed and have completed 3 rounds, signed up for new one in January 2021. I have osteoporosis and scoliosis and hear my spine pop through almost every move. I could not do plank until this fall when I went from NO way to holding for 45 seconds. Go figure. Really enjoy the class and how I feel after. Benjie being there helps me calm myself as this is first time in my life living without a dog.
    Love Adriene's support and humor. Can't wait for January 1!

When I sat up at the beginning of the practice, I cried tears of joy. I haven't been able to comfortably sit up on my own in over 2 weeks. My intention was to listen to my body. I took modified child's pose and triangle pose as needed. This was a beautiful sequence to reintroduce my body to movement. Namaste Adriene 🙏.
