  • This yoga practice is perfect for beginners but also nice for those looking for a slow and mindful back to basics class. Promote deep listening with the basics. Up your fitness practice and even your yoga workout by connecting or reconnecting to action and alignment. Get the most out of your time on your mat by connecting with your energy and awareness. Cultivate deep listening each time you show up on your mat. This practice is also great for yoga teachers or aspiring yoga teachers! Special thanks to my assistant on this one, thanks Benji!
    Namaste.

    I am sixty-four, diabetic, with heart disease, low blood pressure and I smoke. After getting clearance from my doctors, I started your lessons. In one month , I showed a remarkable amount of progress. I love that you incorporate mind, body and soul in your teachings. I smoke a lot less, I am off low pressure medication and I feel so much better. I tried other programs but I kept coming back to your videos. You are a godsend. Namaste.

      I used to smoke marijuana which is terrible for breathing. I constantly coughed up phlegm. The soul is very important to take care of as when you age it is thought that we are not supposed to be happy anymore.

    I did this practice in March at the beginning of the lockdown and I barely could make any poses and I ended up completely destroyed. Today, after not having missed a single day since then in the mat, I finished everything without a problem. Progress is clear. So practice, practice, practice. Thank you for your help, Adriene and thanks to this wonderful community. 🙏

    Man, I used this video years ago around 2013, and I worked my way up to the intermediate videos, combined those with weight lifting and cycling and became my healthiest happiest self. I fell in love, became a foodie, had kids, and stopped practicing. I’m here now shaking and struggling starting all over; but this video really brings me back to a time when I felt sure of myself. I’m not as sure anymore, might be age, might be life; but damn am I optimistic again. Working to get rid of pains, and gain stamina and flexibility again to give my kids the best version of myself. I’m sorry to say I let myself go, but I am happy to commit to starting again.

    I just finished the video. I've never done yoga before and I'm really out of shape in general. There were many moments during the video in which I thought "I can't do this" and I had to take quick breaks when my body couldn't hold me anymore, or when my hands, wrists, toes etc hurt too much. There was a point in which I felt tears burning in my eyes because I felt so defeated and ashamed. But I kept pushing through. And I did it. And it felt SO GREAT. And at the end, during the prayer in the final position, I felt so full of light and love that I could feel the tears burning in my eyes again, but this time they were tears of happiness. Thank you Adriene, thank you. Namaste

    day 26 of energize - june 2022. I found myself frustrated with the pace of this video and lacking in my usual strength since I decided to up my weightlifting reps today, but at the end I was able to discover gratitude for my body and a bit of lightheartedness. just because I'm not technically a "beginner" doesn't mean I need to take my practice so seriously all of the time. I smiled, laughed when I lost my balance, and tapped into some self love. happy to be taking care of the mind and body today. namaste 💝

    Still incredibly impressed with you Adriene. I've only been practising yoga from your videos for 6 months now, having broken my back a year ago and using yoga as pain relief and strength building. But I have to say you have such a wonderful way of explaining the techniques and body awareness it blows my mind. Thanks so much, practising yoga with you has made my body feel 95% better :)

    @bhaminilakshminarayan1812 3 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    This practice was a great reminder that the most exciting postures in yoga are the ones that seem the most simple. Today I caught sight of myself in the mirror doing a halfway-lift, and I was thrilled at how FLAT my back was! It wasn't something I was consciously working towards because I couldn't imagine the extent of the progress possible in such a simple shape. It's not king pigeon or crow or something else that looks Instagram-able, but it's these kinds of postures that actually show you how hard work on your foundations can give you so much room to grow into being better at yoga - not just better at shapes. Thank you Adriene

Every Chiropractor on the face of this earth couldn’t help me. I came across your TH-cam channel just today at 3 am. I decided to give one of your beginner videos (this one) a try. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this good. I am going to watch more videos immediately after I’m done writing this comment. I wish I could describe the happiness this has brought me. P.S.

But what I've gained the most is the mindfulness and awareness when I step away from the mat. Adriene does a fantastic job at helping you feel confident with where you are but also helps you grow the poses in a way that is comfortable. Yoga has changed my life for the better! Thank you Adriene.

    Girl, I can't thank you enough for your videos! I'm not exaggerating when I say you've saved my life. I'd given up on trying to relieve my back pain and thought that was it for me at 45. I searched for yoga videos and found most of the teachers were too serious or too marshmellowy. (is that a word?) They didn't make me want to come to the mat like you do and I ended up quitting. I'm not sure what made me look again(spirit guide)but I did and found you! Anyway, you're an angel and I thank God for you Adriene! I look forward to growing my practice with you and wish you much success. PS I have my chiropractor recommending you to everyone! I wish you much success, you deserve it!

    Hi, Yoga With Adriene has been a revelation:). I am learning not just about health and movement, but also about 'being'. I had assumed I was an open person, but realise that I was actually very self protective (for many reasons) and the practice is teaching me to open up. I hadn't expected that there would be a 'spiritual' and emotional learning and am very grateful for the experience. Thank you Adriene, hugely. Lots of love to all.

    I am working my way through the inquire calendar, I have actually been practising yoga for about 7 years now, but Adriene's practises always teach me something new and dig up something unexpected! Feels great to slow down, connect to the basics and really think about how my body feels in theses poses. If you are new, don't feel discouraged if this was tough, even seasoned yogis find challenges in the movements.

    Intention : energize to go back to the basics
    Internet is down so I have to practice on my own for the last two days now but I make sure that I did practice even for ten to thirty minutes, back to what I have learned, keeping in mind all the things I have learned in this channel. Truly if we plant a habit of practicing even in some difficult moments we will see time to get in the mat and just do it. I am glad I have this discipline now.
    Benjie is still young and playful in this video 😆 😍🥰😍🥰
    Thank you Adriene, happy to see young Benjie with you today 😀
    Keep practicing everyone
    Namaste 🙏🏼

    I'm not very new to yoga, I've been practicing with your videos and taking classes in studio for an year now, but I must say that I really needed this prectice to show me how important it is to pay attention to each movement, each sensation and that sometimes I forget about it, especially on public classes. Thank you for reminding us how important it is to stay connected to our bodies - "sensation over the shape". Lots of love ♥

    I'm on my 3rd yoga practice with Adriene and I already feel a difference! No, I'm not perfect at transitioning or holding poses, but my mind is calmer and clearer during practice, and I find myself being kinder towards my own body when I'm struggling with a pose.

Thank you for a few moments of calm and serenity in these potentially dark and overwhelming time. much love.

    I also spend more than one class with you, each and every day, and it is time so well spent. I'm feeling more limber, definitely stronger in my core and peaceful in my mind and heart.

    I can't tell you what a blessing these videos have been. Between work and motherhood, it feels impossible to carve out time for myself without distractions. The first three times I did this video, my toddler was running circles around me, or my cat was wanting to curl up in the middle of my mat - there was always something going on. It was great to see Adriene's dog milling around, because it's real! It was encouraging to see that you don't need a serene sound proof yoga
    studio at home to be able to get some time in for your practice. Thank you Adriene (and Benji)!

As a health conscious senior with aging . . . everything, it’s impossible to get home from the gym without being in some kind of pain somewhere. But Adriene is helping to straighten and lengthen my posture without feeling like I’ve been on the rack! Thank you thank you thank you for showing me that getting older doesn’t mean giving up an active lifestyle.

I started before with your foundations of cat/cow and downward dog so I was already warm and mindful of the important parts of those. I'm planning on doing at least SOMETHING everyday and you're so gentle so I'll def try another one of your beginner videos, maybe not as long next time. Thank you! I know you won't see this comment, I'm a few years late to the show, haha.
