I have been ill since April 2020, from lasting effects of Covid, and life has completely changed for me. I am totally unable to do many of the things I once was before this all happened. I am committing to being a part of this 30 day journey, even if all I can do is sit, breathe and practice gratitude with all of you, at least I am showing up, and investing the time in me. I thank you for all of your love and sense of community shining through these beautiful comments! Namaste. 🙏🏼💜
Andréa, that is a perfect approach. I'm so sorry you've been sick for so long. I spent a lot of today's practice in extended child's pose because I also recently had covid. So far it seems like my case is pretty mild, but I am surprised at how difficult it was for me to try to get back into it today. I will follow your example and continue to show up every day. I hope you feel better.
An important part of the yoga with Adriene ritual for me is reading for a few minutes the comments. I feel your love, my companions on this journey! Let my sixth 30 day yoga journey with Adriene and all of you begin!! edit: I was reading the answers and feeling chills, as if the energy of you who are spread all over the world was connected and passing through me as well. I love how this bright and loving soul of Adriene has attracted so many wonderful people in one place and continues to bring more and more people together! I am sending my love to all of you from Brazil and wishing that this stream of positive energy that I feel connected with you all may one day cover our entire planet!
I've been practising yoga with Adriene for nearly 6 years on and off now, but today officially marks my first full year of committing to a daily practice! Some days that meant 5 minutes of breathing and gentle stretching, some days it meant a sweaty hour on the mat, but every time I was glad I showed up. I never thought I could be the kind of person who did yoga every day, but now I couldn't imagine my life without it. Thank you, Adriene, for making yoga so accessible to so many people, and for helping me become closer to my body and appreciate its ever-changing strength and power over what it looks like ❤
I cried on the first little inhale we did together because this is my 3rd year of the 30 day yoga journeys and I can't thank you enough, Adriene. what a radiant light you shine into this world.
For everyone starting late (like me) - one of my favorite things to do to help remind me that I'm not in it alone: when you finish, take a look at the view count and then refresh the video and see what the number is at now - all of those people were doing it with you! (Well over 1,000 people practiced with me today, at 11:30pm PST, 8 days behind schedule)
That did not go how I wanted it to. My wrists starting hurting almost immediately, I couldn't sustain a pose without shaking. I've definitely become deconditioned. But that's ok. It's ok. I moved, I made it to the mat, and I can try again tomorrow. Thank you Adriene for showing me that I can keep showing up, can keep finding what feels good. EDIT: your responses and replies to this have been amazing. They're what has encouraged me to try again today (day 2). Good luck everyone. We got this, whatever this looks like for you.
I faced similar challenges and felt quite discouraged at times, especially comparing how my body felt for last year's journey. May we both let go of expectations and continue showing up for ourselves 🙏
You’ve had little bad surprises today, but I am sure you’re going to experience great surprises later, or sooner than you expect ! Bad days are part of the process 🌞
hey the same hung happened to me, it’s been a while since I’ve had the energy to exercise so my body is no longer used to the poses. We’ve got this, every day it gets a little easier c:
I took a one day break but starting Move today after FLOW. MOVE is more challenging but I trust that I am ready to take it on. Glad to be following with you!
Here too, won’t manage it in consecutive days as hoping to start adding in some strength training a couple of days but going to ‘move’ through it and feeling proud for establishing a daily practice in Jan and completing it in one month! I am happy to see some recent comments. Happy moving and flowing!
One of my favorite things about Adriene is that she has a way of both making you feel like you’re the only person in the room and connecting you with the largest yoga class in existence. I can’t wait to start this new journey with everyone around the world, with Adriene, and with myself. Namaste!
@@danielfallas9397 talk to @seeni gzty and @See, I have told you beforehand and start your own channel. Why are you on this chat? How was the yoga session for you?
This was very challenging for me, physically and mentally. But I'll do my best to show up again tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a new practice every day this month with you guys from all over the world. 💕
Good to hear it. It was challenging for me too. You are not alone. We are all together ❤. Actually it wasn't challenging for me last years. But this year I got Corona virus about 6 months ago and my body has become weak in an extreme way that I couldn't even do daily activities. I started to recover my body by moderate exercises and now I'm getting better and I'm sure I get better by this yoga journey with all of you around the world 😘❤💖
I relapsed pretty badly over the holidays. I am drunk right now but I am hoping to sober up- both for the night and for the month- so I can partake in this challenge. Thank you, Adriene, and thank you to all who participate in this, for giving me a big chunk of hope that I can move(hehe) through this. Much love
last year’s Breathe series was incredible and clarifying, and at the end of January 2021 I began my transition. I’m so excited to step into Move this year as the truest version of myself. ♥️
I'm sure you won't read this Adriene but this is the first practice I have done since my grandad died in April. I've often wondered how yoga can bring people to tears but I understand now. Thank you so much for this annual refresh.
After four years of sedentary lifestyle, with depression and total lack of any motivation, I finally pushed myself to get back on the yoga mat today, on Valentine's Day. I've made a commitment to love myself enough to keep getting back on the mat every morning for the next thirty days...and then, always. I used to practice with you before, and today, it felt fulfilling to be guided by you. I cried when you said "find what feels good". Thank you, Adriene.
The yoga mat is a place where you can bring it all and leave it all. Like many others I began my everyday practice once my home state was placed under quarantine. Yoga called me when I was 16 but I was not in need of it yet. As my body and mind began to age a bit I realized that I needed a cure but the gym life wasn’t for me. My joints and muscles were becoming sore on a regular basis due to constant hard labor. I was becoming fatigued mid day every day shortly after lunch. I needed help. I studied about the health benefits of regular practice and looked on TH-cam and somehow stumbled across yoga with Adrian. Here I am almost two years strong in my practice and I can say that I’m a brand new being. I can endure hours of work with no pain in my body and my mind operates from both sides . I hit the mat early to start my day and it truly is a cheat code in this game of life. I’m done now. Lets flow people! Big shout out to all my fellow yogi’s who know that this is more than just simple poses. Its a framework that builds a better you.
Thank you, Adrienne, for providing this program free to everyone around the world. Having lived in multiple countries the past 4 years, I understand the difficulty of time/location. Feeling enormous gratitude for the wonderful programs that you have given us all for so many years. For those complaining about the change in time, it makes me sad. This is a gift.
Totally agree with you, since it is impossible for the videos to be released at a convenient time for the whole world. People should appreciate the gift Adriene gives us every year, be a bit more flexible and as Adriene said today "let go of expectations". See you tomorrow! Let's keep rocking it!
I feel like crying and smiling. In the beginning, I reached out my hands imagining the people practicing with me, touching their hands, and sending love. It's my 4th journey with Adriene and I can't help but show up, because of the energy, kindness, and beautiful community! Thank you
Whew, this was a bit of a struggle 😅 happy new year everyone! So so glad to be taking part in this yoga journey for the third year in a row. I knew this one would be different because I've neglected my physical health in the past few months, but I'm happy to be getting back to it together with this community. My intention for this journey is to accept the struggles and to take on the physical and mental challenges with a spirit of courage and kindness. Have a lovely day everyone, see you tomorrow ☀ Namaste.
Same for me. But that's a sign that I need to commit fully now. It's more of a mindset problem for me. I know I can do these poses long enough and power through trembling and so on but my mind was restless and my inner voice kept telling me to stop this pose now. Which was not necessary. So I am excited to check in every day and see the change
@@ninar.655 There's definitely a mental struggle for me as well, some poses I know I can physically power through but my mind keeps saying it's too much. It's also something that can be trained! I wish you all the best in working on this 🌠
Hello to all fellow peeps with disabillities who chose to do this journey. I know we're used to being shamed for not doing things in the normal way. So we get so hung up on the details and trying to be perfect to mask our struggles. But it doesn't matter how we choose to do this or when, if you showed up to the session then you succeeded in my book! Sending extra love to all the people who have extra obstacles. We're in this together!
Day 1 Done - God my body was screaming throughout and realised how much I have neglected it and it was a great reminder of WHY I am doing this. Not for a rocking hot bod, not for summer bikini season... but so my body can carry me through this life and fully support what my soul is here to do. Focused on my breath, and got through it. I feel wonderful.
I’d like to thank who everr came up with the idea of ‘the day late club’. I was so looking forward to this and quite disappointed that I was always going to be a day behind, but knowing there will be so many of us has got me motivated again!
@@ignoblehierarch the ones where she mentions how crazy it is that everyone is sharing that energy, i can always feel that rush of collective energy and it’s magical
I’ve decided that my “mantra” for this year will be “slow and steady”. I hope this will encourage me - to be more kind to myself, to commit and to ultimately achieve my goals. This was the perfect start!
@@fairyqueen7351 Yeah I really liked it, it's short and zippy lol. I knew she'd have stellar advice but I was afraid she might not gather all the stuff I was telling her (like half because she can't hear and won't wear her aides hahah). She came through with a good one lol.
finished doing the practice just before going to bed and i feel refreshed and rejuvinated and proud that i showed up before the day is over. i tried to do this last year whilst there was lockdown in UK but quickly fell off and this year i hope to continue. Day 1 check ☑️✨
I just completed Day 30 of "Move". I started day 1 a skeptic. I am an injured runner who is not much into breathing and laying on a yog mat. It took me to Day 21 to give myself over to it! But I did it, and I am proud of myself. And I am officially a yoga convert. Thank you Adriene - I couldn't have done it without your beautiful guidance.
This is a great name for the series because every few minutes I had to gently "Move" my dog off the mat lol. Looking forward to the next 29 days and practicing with you guys each morning :)
3 years ago I started my first 30 days of Yoga and I remember thinking that I'd never finish but why not give it a go and see how far I get. My first weeks were filled with moments where I almost gave up. I spent many poses angrily cursing Adriene's name as I forced myself into positions I wasn't ready for and stayed longer than my body wanted me to. Even just sitting upright was a challenge. Why was this so hard? Fast forward to today, I'm not feeling great this morning so I take it easy on a few poses and end a few early. Why force myself into a position that isn't going to benefit me today? As I relax in child's pose for a moment I think to myself was this new mindset the key to all my recent progress? I think so, and I can't help but wonder how much time I wasted letting my ego get in the way of me moving forward? Am I doing this in other areas of my life? Might be time to reevaluate a few things.
I had this exact realization this moment. Even though I can’t stay in a pose for as long, or move to the next one with ease that doesn’t mean to just give up.
I felt the exact same way today. I felt very frustrated by the slowness and how long you have to hold the postures for, even though they’re quite simple! Her cues were annoying me as well which I found myself reflecting on during the practice. I spent a lot of my time in child’s pose because I either didn’t want to hold the pose as long or I was over it haha. I didn’t realise how fast I’m running - just a moment in a posture caused me lots of frustration because it wasn’t moving “fast” enough. Now that’s got to change. That’s why I love yoga because it challenges you, it makes you reflect. I know I’ll be a grumpy bum tomorrow as well but I’m sure I’ll come around. I would love to complete these 30 days because I know it’ll be so good for me.
My first time taking part in one of Adriene's 30 Day Yogas...infact, one of my first times really trying yoga at all. Felt a little bit anxious after I signed up but so pleased I showed up for Day 1. This year my resolution is to build my self-confidence and be kinder to myself, and doing something like this for my body and mind every day feels like a big step in that direction. So lovely to see that there's a positive and supportive community that comes along with this too! Feel part of something good x
Hi Katherine !!! I am no expert but I do believe that yoga practice with Adriene is my favorite way to experience yoga. Really. I have taken classes in different cities and types of yoga ... but Adriene inspires me and guides me and motivates me BETTER than anywhere! WELCOME and JOIN Adirene EVERY DAY this month!
Day 1 - I showed up, even though I had to cave on some of the moves.. my knees and body just weren't strong enough. Feeling shaky but damn proud I gave it a try. This is the first 30 day YWA challenge I'm committing to. I'm 32 with SLE and arthritis and choose to Move with Unconditional Love and Gratitude for my body. Looking forward to showing up on my mat again tomorrow 😌💕
You got this! One of the things that helped me (I’ve been doing this since 2017) is I don’t get fixated too much on the days so sometimes I’d have to miss a day and id try do catch up on the weekend. Or actually just finish a few days later.
you can do it! I completed the journey for the first time last year. it felt amazing. life may try to get in the way, but once you're on the mat it feels so good! like Adrienne says, the hardest part is showing up. make adjustments when you need to (for me its knowing the limits of my wrists, which I've injured in the past.) wishing you the best in this journey!
I know they say that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but for me it is every 1 January when the new yoga challenge begins with Adriene. After a heavy year, I cannot help but feel smiley and optimistic ❤
More than 15,500 people did this lovely practice with me just now! As I embark on my fourth year of YWA I send my sincere thanks for the talent, humour and generosity of Adriene and her team and the warmth and kindness of the YWA community. Helping us MOVE gracefully and with purpose through 2022. Thank you x
I´m starting late on this challenge, but better late than never. I found this day very hard, and after 17 minutes did I want to quit. But I didn´t and that is so important! Everyone needs to begin on their level, but we are here together!
I just started too!! I feel you!! After completing 2 back to back 30 days only 4 months ago I feel like my body tightened up and this one was so hard!! I feel so annoyed but I’m prepared to commit to this every morning even though I have a 2 year old and a business to run! WE GOT THIS!! Thank you so much Adrienne ♥️
Just started a new yoga journey Move which I never finished 2 years ago. I do half an hour every weekday and follow Adrienne’s videos. This was actually very good, although I am more advanced sometimes it is good to go back to basics and focus on your breathing and moving slowly 💙
I went into this with zero energy and finished feeling my whole body come alive! So glad to be part of another 30-day journey! Happy New Year, everyone!
"I am here, and that is enough" was exactly what I needed to hear. I had to pause my practice last year after having wrist surgery and then going through covid and it's lasting effects. I am finally feeling recovered enough from both to begin again. This was a beautiful way to resume after my pause. Thank you!
If you just did this class and thought there is no way I can do this for 30 days - YES YOU CAN! I thought the same thing when I did my first 30 day Yoga with Adrienne challenge in the summer of 2018. It was not easy but I fell in love with yoga and have not stopped since. I begin my yoga teacher training in February this year and I am so excited! Thank you Adriene for being my original teacher. Namaste x
first time in years! starting again with Adriene❤ things happened and here I am, unable to do most things that I did before. hope to catch my old self and get beyond soon. will comment other days too. let‘s do this!!❤🎉
Every year, I attempt the 30 day challenge, and every year, I quit about halfway through. Today, I felt like I was going to quit on Day 1. I'm going to try again tomorrow. Praying for a gentle session!
Just go one day at a time...congratulate yourself that EACH DAY you have done the whole program:) Encourage your body you are taking time to listen to her and not be afraid:)
Don't give up KT. You make it what you want and do what you can do. That's what I love about Adriene's yoga and being in my own home. If I can't hold a pose for long or struggle with a pose I give it a try and just do something else that feels good. No judgement. Just you and your mat.
Hello, just wanted to say that you're not alone! My wrists were not happy with me at all. But you know what, we showed up, and if we keep showing up I bet we'll be amazed at our progress after 30 days! It might not be someone else's progress but it'll be OURS.
So excited for this, day 1. I’ve been away far too long. Still, a beginner, I stopped my yoga journey when life got in the way. Why? I don’t know. Cocky? Probably. The farther away I got, the stiffer I became. The older I felt. Then I fell off my eating plan. Now 2 years later and I’ve gained 40 pounds but more importantly than that, all my pains and stiffness have reoccurred. I feel older than my years (61 on the 12th) Not what I had planned for my life. Time to stop this madness. I know yoga and the keto way of eating is for me. No one’s coming to my rescue. It’s a new year and I’m excited to take back the reins of my life! You’re never too old to change, to improve yourself, no matter what that may entail. I thank Adriene for these free sessions. Not only does she offer a daily flow, she teaches!! And she’s not boring!! (Unfortunately so many others put me to sleep 😴 😂) So here’s to 2022 and all it’s possibilities!! Happy New Year! Meet you all on the mat! 🧘🏻♀️🙏🏼❤️ UPDATE: Just finished Day 1 and I have to admit it was a challenge! Just a stark reminder of how I’ve regressed. But, oh how wonderful I feel now! Granted, I couldn’t do all the poses or keep my head below my hips for long (can someone say “headache”, “pressure”. 🤯 ) but I never stopped, I kept it up till the end! Doing some stretches several times during the day will benefit me along my journey. IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK! 🙌🏼🧘🏻♀️🙏🏼
Joanna, I am so happy for you. I've been doing yoga among other things on and off for the last 20 yrs. I never was a sporty person, but I do what I can because I'm aware of how important it is. Still, the only thing I keep getting back to is yoga. Like you, I appreciate Adriene not only not being boring, but making me laugh! 😊 A couple of years ago they had to operate a benign, but big brain tumor. Since then I sometimes have problems with downward-facing dog and some other asanas (unfortunately, in child's pose too), so I understand the pressure in the head that you're mentioning. But if it feels too much, I stop for a moment. I am now committed to coming back every day. Like Adriene says, showing up really is the hardest part.🧘♀
This practice felt so good. The affirmation “I am here and that is enough” was so grounding for me and I remembered that during challenging moments. I’m looking forward to coming back to this space and showing love to my body through this movement. The hardest parts for me are wrist pressure which I primarily feel in down dog and planking which Is something I’m going to focus on working on. The reminder to come back to your breath before catching up with you is one I needed to hear as well. Namaste 🧘♀️❤️🔥
When everyone talks about “wrist pressure” and “wrist pain” is it really in the wrist itself? Because for me it’s just the pain in the heels of my hands and I’ve always felt like I’m doing something wrong.
I struggled a lot with wrist pain in the past and foam yoga wedges made a huge difference for me! They're cheap on amazon and they take so much of the strain out of your wrists and shoulders (which is where a lot of wrist pain can come from!) :)
@@laurasaur19 the heels of my hands hurt as well. But (as far as I remember, because it’s been a while) it improves when I continuously practice yoga :) you can try to watch some of Adriene’s earlier videoed where she goes into depth with some of the moves. That way you can see if there something you can do different during particular moves. But honestly, bodies are just very different and I think it’s common that people feel different things!
@@laurasaur19 Mine is in the heels of my hands too - mostly my right hand. To alleviate this, I will bring my hands slightly closer to my body - sometimes making sure weight is evenly distributed throughout my hands and fingers doesn't help. I also wonder if I'm doing something wrong, and I had even thought maybe I had some tendon damage before I saw your comment. Thank you for posting that. I just want to add: when I used to do yoga more frequently, that pain eventually stopped happening - I think because the muscles get stronger.
I’m so sad these videos are being released so late this year. That means I’ll have to do them a day later to be able to do them in the mornings. Still super excited though. ❤️
Yes I was just thinking the same thing! Last year the videos were there at 6am Central European time. I need my yoga first thing in the morning, so I guess I'll have to push it out a day this time... 🤷
It is a shame. I was looking forward to doing them in real time, but I’m not sure my boss would be pleased with me stopping mid work day for a yoga break! I’ll be back tomorrow for day 1
Thank you so much Adriene! My runner/cyclist husband asked if he could join the yoga group I've been a part of for the past 11 years to work out some of the kinks he acquired in 2020 after a bike accident that left him in the hospital for 9 days and sent him home with some bolts in his sacrum and new tightness (not that he ever stretched...sigh). I said sure, but suggested he do 30 Days of Yoga with you and me first. He did one of your beginners videos several times, and started MOVE with me today! I am very proud and happy! I have been here for at least 5 years, and am so glad that he's joined me! Thank you for being here for us!
Never really did yoga, but I wanted to do something for myself this year. And as of struggling with depression and anxiety lately and with exams just around the corner, this is so awesome. I'll try my best and keep showing up. Thank you soo much for all the effort and love you put into this.
Sometimes, when I am dealing with my depression, I just listen and watch the videos. Like, being still and looking at something you can do later is part of practice too! 5 minutes of deep breaths is yoga too! Especially if you have exams coming up. Best of luck on those!
Glad you're here. On tough days I tell myself I'll just do five minutes. More often than not I finish the entire practice, but even five minutes can bring peace. Hope to see you again tomorrow 🙏
hang in there and this is one of the best things you could've chosen to do for yourself! You got this!! Sending you positivity and strength from California. Good luck on your exams.. remember it's all in the breath!
Stick with yoga. I've found yoga 25 years ago while struggling with depression in college. It has kept me level all these years. Take good care of yourself.
love that this community has so much love.I had almost given up on social media and all the harsh comments everywhere. Here I can feel the love even though i'm practicing (physically) by myself. "see" you all tomorrow for some awesome movement!
Getting to the mat can be the hardest part. How was showing up for yourself today? If the video doesn't drop for you at the ideal time, can you trust that when you DO get to the mat, it could still be just the right time?!? (Shout out to the Day Late Club in Europe! )
This made me feel so happy and amazing, that feeling alone will help me to show up. Even though it can be hard to remember some days I will try to remember this feeling I had after todays session👏 thank you so much Adriene, hope you have great day! ❤️
i am sooo excited to go on this yoga journey with you! Showing up was a little hard since the holiday mood isnt helping me at all but i enjoyed this practice nontheless! Thank you, Adriene
This is the first time I've turned up for a while and at 66 found it quite challenging for Day one but will be back tomorrow. I always feel so much better when I'm doing yoga regularly.
Yes! I found it challenging too. I stopped and did my own thing with 10 minutes left. I’m not even happy a little with my lack of performance. I’ll try tomorrow though. Darn.
I think I'm going to be a day behind everyone, as this doesn't drop in the UK until 10.00 am GMT when I'll be well on my way with my day. Hope you have a good session today, and I'll think of you tomorrow.
I'm in the same position although I started my day late today so joined live it's likely I'll shift to evening practices or like you, shift to the following day. Enjoy!
Anyone else listening/practicing with air-pods and hear Adriene's heartbeat throughout this video?! So strange but kinda nice, to hear the thump-thumping of her heart. :)
Reading the amazing stories by people in the comments every year makes these 30 day challenges even more special. So grateful to be doing yoga along everyone here
The suggestion to begin the movement with the breath is a game changer for my practice. It's helped me time my breathing within movements of the poses, something that has always been a challenge for me.
I have been dealing with burnout for a few months ; I'm so happy that this is coming back, because it will allow myself to listen, to stop, to wind down, to connect. Welcome, everyone ; you've already done the hardest part. You're here 🧡
Same here! Yoga always helps me to recharge and reconnect with myself, which I've needed a lot these past few months after feeling more and more burned out. It feels good to know that I'm not alone and I look forward to go on this journey together with you all!
First time for me! I just wanted to say that I can already feel such a good vibe from everyone :) it’s gonna be awesome to make yoga with people from all around the world 💕 🌼😄
As a beginner this was hard but I did my best and will be back tomorrow. I know what I can do and stepped back for the harder parts. I feel good at the end. See everyone tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰
I've been at it for years and still found some poses challenging! The beauty of yoga is that you show up, try, and you'll benefit as you get stronger, even if you just sit in tabletop breathing with us!
Thank you so much for saying that - I’m the same. I started late, never done yoga before and really struggled with the first session, but I feel it just shows me what I have to gain in the long run. Perseverance and consistency ❤️
This was such a moving practise. My hips were so loose afterwards. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the 10k almost people joined around the world doing this beautiful practise alongside me.
Yoga with Adriene's 30-day yoga journeys are the best new years gift of all time! :D congrats all for getting through day 1 :D see you all for day 2 :D
I am starting late, but I am starting, nonetheless. I can already feel how healing this is going to be for my body, mind, soul. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us all.
Thank You Adriene from the bottom of my heart for showing up year after year, month after month, and day after day for us. I am so grateful I found you 5 years ago .
@A Smile Er zijn best veel mensen aan het kijken vanuit Nederland zag ik, vind ik ook leuk om te zien! Zelf ben ik niet Nederlands maar ik woon er een paar jaren :)
I’m so proud of myself for showing up and being here today. I almost paused the video and left numerous times but instead I choose to be kind to myself. At one point I just turned over onto my back and focused on my breaths and some intentional leg movements. I was relieved when Adrienne followed that exercise with moving onto the back to end the session because it affirmed my choice to keep going and transition to my back. Reading the comments helped me realize I’m not the only one struggling with wrist pain. I kept trying to dig with my claws instead of pressure on my wrists but I’m struggling with how to actually do that. Im showing up each day to connect with and better appreciate my body.
I had to tap out even before the video was halfway through (and that was with going into child's pose a few times already when I couldn't manage). I am heavier now than the last time I did yoga regularly, and this one was *so* hard on my wrists!
I started doing yoga 1 year ago and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. At age 20 my doctor said I was on the boarder of developing Osteoporosis and years later I was diagnosed with arthritis (most of my family has it too)now I'm 37 and my bones feel better than they did in my 20's. Yoga has helped SO Much! Yoga also helped me tremendously with depression and anxiety. Overall it's impact on my life has been nothing but positive. I also lost a lot of weight 🤗
That is so fab. I have only just discovered that I can do yoga when I feel very depressed, and it helps. Before, I would always wait until I felt better. We are so lucky : )
I just completed the January yoga videos for 2023 and I'm coming to these to continue into February :) Starting my day with these videos has been the catalyst for so much positive change in my routine, thanks Adriene
Same here, I’m preparing for a really important thing for today and everyday yoga challenge 2023 has helped me started my day and be so productive and I felt like I had to continue and went straight into searching from other challenges from her
Congrads ! I just finished back to back Center and now its day 1 of Move. Oh that 30 day Move was a challenge considering we all kind of sat around a lot..... in panic the previous year. Breath was just perfect for the times. Namaste !!!! Im happy.
This killed me, I haven’t done yoga in over a year and I still had to take breaks in between because my body couldn’t handle it. I did come to the mat and did my best and I’m proud of myself! Hopefully by the end of the challenge, I’ll get out of this stronger and more mindful.
I think I returned to child's pose 3 times today because my wrists were too weak. One thing about yoga... the strength comes QUICKLY!!! Keep at it, my friend. :)
So honoured to practice along with all you wonderful human beings. I’m back to work tomorrow working 12 hour shifts so my fear is that I will not continue … but I am prioritizing myself this year and so will set my alarm early to get it in before work and see how it goes!
I just completed day 1...I'm really proud of myself for showing up. I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to yoga and I pretty much struggled through almost every pose. But I'm determined to continue to show up everyday and see where this journey takes me. P.S. the comment section is a joy to behold. So much positivity. I'm really happy to be here.
I felt so heavy today in my body and mind, still feel, but when I did this yoga I had few times that I felt light. Following my breath helped a lot. I’m in a depressive episode of my life, but I have decided to commit to this challenge and hopefully feel more light than heavy in future. Thank you for this beautiful opportinity you give for all❤️ and I send light and love to fellow yogis, we will make it!
Thank you Adriene! This was just what I needed today Last night I tested positive via a rapid test, and now I am quarantined for the first time in the past two years, sitting alone in my bedroom without much to do as I wait for the results of the pcr. Knowing that I was going to start Move today gave me a reason to get out of bed and sturucture to my day. Practicing with thousands of people all of the world made me feel less lonely. Thank you all!
I started yoga for the first time 6 months ago at the age of 48 after being ill and stationary for over 15 years. It was by great fortune that I found your channel. Today I attended my very first in studio yoga class. Thank you Adriene. You gave me the tools, inspiration and courage to go. I love your channel and consider you a great gift in my life. Many blessings to you in 2022! Namaste
After almost 6 years, I finally decided to do Yoga again, Im taking this journey very slowly and really listening to my body, taking this as if Im doing Yoga for the very first time again. Other than my once-a-week offline class that I sign up for, Im going to do this series on the days Im not, wish me luck to become better not only in Yoga but also on all over. Thank you Adriene.
I’ve done these journeys on and off for years now, usually completing them weeks late. I’ve found them remarkable each time, and I’m so glad for them each year. Here and now, I’ve moved to a space completely my own for the first time, mentally I’m so much more centered and within myself, and so excited for the future. I’m so ready for this years 30 days
“Maybe you finish the sentence I am here because… or maybe you quietly repeat the affirmation to yourself.. I am here. Because that is enough” This brought tears to my eyes & I felt it in my soul.
Thank you so much for this...I so need it. I used to be very fit but got covid twice and am now struggling. You gently give me hope, one breath at a time 💜💜💜
Ouch! Looks like the timing will be a bit difficult for me. I like to have my Yoga sessions in the morning, just before my day starts. Last year's timing for 30 Day Journey was just perfect, this year though may be a bit of a struggle, but i'm here for it.
I agree, it's the second day in a row that I wake up excited for Move then feel a bit bummed out because it's not ready yet. It would be great to have it available a bit early (morning in Europe)
Lots of people doing it a day later so just do that. Its really not a big deal. It wouldnt matter what time it was uploaded because there would always be people that the time wouldnt suit. Use this as a new years lesson to be adaptable to circumstances
It's unfortunate that the videos are released later in the day this year, at least for Europeans (11 in the morning for me) since I like to do these before work. I think I will push the whole thing out one day, though it makes me sad that this way I'm not doing it with everyone else!
I felt the same, but going by the comments there are quite a few people (including me) who will push the Videos to the next day. So we will still be doing them together :) See you tomorrow!
I didn’t realise the videos wouldn’t be released until 10.00am! So I’m going to be in the day later club too, mornings are the only time I’ll always be able to make the time
If there is something to be grateful to the pandemic for, for me that would be having met Adrienne and her amazing community. Thank you for having changed my life for the better.
I have been ill since April 2020, from lasting effects of Covid, and life has completely changed for me. I am totally unable to do many of the things I once was before this all happened. I am committing to being a part of this 30 day journey, even if all I can do is sit, breathe and practice gratitude with all of you, at least I am showing up, and investing the time in me. I thank you for all of your love and sense of community shining through these beautiful comments! Namaste. 🙏🏼💜
Good for you! I hope you will start feeling like your old self again soon! I wish you all the luck, you've got this!
Thai is amazing and I’m going to do this on hard days. You inspire me to show up even if all I can do is sit and medtaite with the practice
we are with you, Andrea - Namaste
Peace and love to you from the wirral....E
Andréa, that is a perfect approach. I'm so sorry you've been sick for so long. I spent a lot of today's practice in extended child's pose because I also recently had covid. So far it seems like my case is pretty mild, but I am surprised at how difficult it was for me to try to get back into it today. I will follow your example and continue to show up every day. I hope you feel better.
An important part of the yoga with Adriene ritual for me is reading for a few minutes the comments. I feel your love, my companions on this journey! Let my sixth 30 day yoga journey with Adriene and all of you begin!!
edit: I was reading the answers and feeling chills, as if the energy of you who are spread all over the world was connected and passing through me as well. I love how this bright and loving soul of Adriene has attracted so many wonderful people in one place and continues to bring more and more people together!
I am sending my love to all of you from Brazil and wishing that this stream of positive energy that I feel connected with you all may one day cover our entire planet!
That’s my favorite part too! It’s the only safe place left on the Internet.
Danielly (love that name by the way), reading the comments brings me as much joy as the yoga practice itself.
I feel you! An amazing community xx
I do the same! 😍 I like to dive deep in good vibrations
Same here ❤️
I've been practising yoga with Adriene for nearly 6 years on and off now, but today officially marks my first full year of committing to a daily practice! Some days that meant 5 minutes of breathing and gentle stretching, some days it meant a sweaty hour on the mat, but every time I was glad I showed up. I never thought I could be the kind of person who did yoga every day, but now I couldn't imagine my life without it. Thank you, Adriene, for making yoga so accessible to so many people, and for helping me become closer to my body and appreciate its ever-changing strength and power over what it looks like ❤
Yes, it is so awesome to have a daily practice. 🦋❤🦋
Love this. ❤️ A full year of yoga is my goal for 2022.
Me too! :)
Me too! This marks one year of daily practices. Some days a 5 to 7 minute practice other days longer but I did it!!! I showed up for myself❤️
Congratulations! This is my goal for 2022: continuing with a daily practice after these 30 days. You inspire me
Starting today in 2024 anyone else??
Me too! 🙌🏼
Me too, but just today after flow¢er:)
Starting today after finishing Flow. Happy journey to you!
I am too! Starting today after Flow and Center =))
Yes!
I cried on the first little inhale we did together because this is my 3rd year of the 30 day yoga journeys and I can't thank you enough, Adriene. what a radiant light you shine into this world.
I cried with you. Release is such a beautiful thing, right? This is day one of my first 30 day journey and I feel so grateful already. Namaste 💚
Its my 3rd year too!!!! 🧘♀️💙 SO excited for year 3!
I teared up with the first hands to heart
My 3rd year too!
My third year too! Such an amazing way to start the year.
For everyone starting late (like me) - one of my favorite things to do to help remind me that I'm not in it alone: when you finish, take a look at the view count and then refresh the video and see what the number is at now - all of those people were doing it with you! (Well over 1,000 people practiced with me today, at 11:30pm PST, 8 days behind schedule)
Yes I love that!
Thank you! I just did that and I noticed I was practicing along with 1,164 more people! ♥
This made me smile. Thank you!
Wow. That feels good. Thank you
oooh that's great! we were with 2000! so niiice
That did not go how I wanted it to. My wrists starting hurting almost immediately, I couldn't sustain a pose without shaking. I've definitely become deconditioned. But that's ok. It's ok. I moved, I made it to the mat, and I can try again tomorrow. Thank you Adriene for showing me that I can keep showing up, can keep finding what feels good.
EDIT: your responses and replies to this have been amazing. They're what has encouraged me to try again today (day 2). Good luck everyone. We got this, whatever this looks like for you.
I faced similar challenges and felt quite discouraged at times, especially comparing how my body felt for last year's journey. May we both let go of expectations and continue showing up for ourselves 🙏
You’ve had little bad surprises today, but I am sure you’re going to experience great surprises later, or sooner than you expect ! Bad days are part of the process 🌞
Same boat! I’m worried I can’t even complete some of the moves :(
Keep it up!
hey the same hung happened to me, it’s been a while since I’ve had the energy to exercise so my body is no longer used to the poses. We’ve got this, every day it gets a little easier c:
I am here too after Flow and wanted to continue the 30 day journey, I loved Flow so much! Hi to all my Flow peeps, nice to see you here
I am here too!
I'm here too 🥰 Starting Move after finishing Flow which was so lovely!
I took a one day break but starting Move today after FLOW. MOVE is more challenging but I trust that I am ready to take it on. Glad to be following with you!
I’m here too!!!
Here too, won’t manage it in consecutive days as hoping to start adding in some strength training a couple of days but going to ‘move’ through it and feeling proud for establishing a daily practice in Jan and completing it in one month! I am happy to see some recent comments. Happy moving and flowing!
Happy new year everyone ❤️✨
Happy new year!🧚🏻♀️❤️
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!🎉💫
Happy new year 🎊 may this be a good one 🍀
hopefully covid ends sometime this year!!!!!!! masks= annoying:( but I still wear them for my safety and others
One of my favorite things about Adriene is that she has a way of both making you feel like you’re the only person in the room and connecting you with the largest yoga class in existence. I can’t wait to start this new journey with everyone around the world, with Adriene, and with myself. Namaste!
So true!
Can't believe I actually showed up and did it, but I did! So freaking proud of myself and can't wait for the rest of the journey.
Way to go!
Ha! Nog een Nederlander! We waren de oefening op hetzelfde moment aan het doen, go us 🙏🏻
Feeling the same way :-) Trying to start a new habit.
Hello! It is 2024 and I am working my way through Adriene’s yearly 30 day yoga practices.
me too:) Nice to practice together with you!
Yeahhh me too !!
Me too🎉
Me too :)
Me too!
It's been too long since I've made time for yoga - this feels like coming home. Thank you Adriene.
Same here...Adriene reignited my yogafire...thaaaaank u
@@danielfallas9397 talk to @seeni gzty and @See, I have told you beforehand and start your own channel. Why are you on this chat? How was the yoga session for you?
Same
when I miss a day, I feel like I am lost. It truly feels like home.
Same 😢 I cried for joy while doing downward dog. I'm so happy to be back ❤️
This was very challenging for me, physically and mentally. But I'll do my best to show up again tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a new practice every day this month with you guys from all over the world. 💕
❤️🙏
🙏🏼hope you feel good
it was challening for me too, but we are in this together. And we CAN do it! 😍
We're right here with you, every day. Namaste 🙏
Good to hear it. It was challenging for me too. You are not alone. We are all together ❤. Actually it wasn't challenging for me last years. But this year I got Corona virus about 6 months ago and my body has become weak in an extreme way that I couldn't even do daily activities. I started to recover my body by moderate exercises and now I'm getting better and I'm sure I get better by this yoga journey with all of you around the world 😘❤💖
I relapsed pretty badly over the holidays. I am drunk right now but I am hoping to sober up- both for the night and for the month- so I can partake in this challenge. Thank you, Adriene, and thank you to all who participate in this, for giving me a big chunk of hope that I can move(hehe) through this. Much love
You got this, friend :D
I’m glad to have practiced with you :)
2 years sober here and blessed to be doing this with you Jordan… keep going my friend you’ve got this x
Keep safe and well ,Jordan ,peace and love from the wirral..E
Good luck ❤️
I've just done the 30 days Flow and now I'm here again. Let's do it: 30 days again. Thank you, YWA.
Well done!!!! How do you feel?
last year’s Breathe series was incredible and clarifying, and at the end of January 2021 I began my transition. I’m so excited to step into Move this year as the truest version of myself. ♥️
Oh, congratulations! 💕💕💕
Its a worthwhile journey and youll discover so much about yourself and your body along the way. Have fun!
That's amazing, enjoy Move!
Congratulations! 🏳⚧🎈🎇
All the best to you 🤍
After completing the 2024 Journey, Flow, I am now doing Move. Happy to see others are doing the same.
Is it better to do journey and flow first?
I'm sure you won't read this Adriene but this is the first practice I have done since my grandad died in April. I've often wondered how yoga can bring people to tears but I understand now. Thank you so much for this annual refresh.
I’m sorry for your loss, and glad to practice with you
So glad you are here Ellie. 💝
You came to the right place.
Thank you all so much!! 🥰
After four years of sedentary lifestyle, with depression and total lack of any motivation, I finally pushed myself to get back on the yoga mat today, on Valentine's Day. I've made a commitment to love myself enough to keep getting back on the mat every morning for the next thirty days...and then, always.
I used to practice with you before, and today, it felt fulfilling to be guided by you. I cried when you said "find what feels good". Thank you, Adriene.
proud of you!!!
Let's do this together 💙 today is my day 1 also struggling with depression and motivation. I'm rooting for you 🙂
Yey! this is amazing - feels so good doesn't it!
@@kichicat2127 we've got this 💪...more power to you.
I am restarting again today too :) we have got this 💕 proud of you!
The yoga mat is a place where you can bring it all and leave it all. Like many others I began my everyday practice once my home state was placed under quarantine. Yoga called me when I was 16 but I was not in need of it yet. As my body and mind began to age a bit I realized that I needed a cure but the gym life wasn’t for me. My joints and muscles were becoming sore on a regular basis due to constant hard labor. I was becoming fatigued mid day every day shortly after lunch. I needed help. I studied about the health benefits of regular practice and looked on TH-cam and somehow stumbled across yoga with Adrian. Here I am almost two years strong in my practice and I can say that I’m a brand new being. I can endure hours of work with no pain in my body and my mind operates from both sides . I hit the mat early to start my day and it truly is a cheat code in this game of life. I’m done now. Lets flow people! Big shout out to all my fellow yogi’s who know that this is more than just simple poses. Its a framework that builds a better you.
This is so wonderful, thank you for sharing 🧡
That really is very inspiring ^^
Keep flowing :))
Thanks for that I appreciate that
💖💖💖
Well said
Thank you, Adrienne, for providing this program free to everyone around the world. Having lived in multiple countries the past 4 years, I understand the difficulty of time/location. Feeling enormous gratitude for the wonderful programs that you have given us all for so many years. For those complaining about the change in time, it makes me sad. This is a gift.
Totally agree with you, since it is impossible for the videos to be released at a convenient time for the whole world. People should appreciate the gift Adriene gives us every year, be a bit more flexible and as Adriene said today "let go of expectations". See you tomorrow! Let's keep rocking it!
I feel like crying and smiling. In the beginning, I reached out my hands imagining the people practicing with me, touching their hands, and sending love. It's my 4th journey with Adriene and I can't help but show up, because of the energy, kindness, and beautiful community! Thank you
I started 2024 being new to yoga with Flow, just completed Center, and now starting Move. Excited to see where this takes me.
Whew, this was a bit of a struggle 😅 happy new year everyone! So so glad to be taking part in this yoga journey for the third year in a row. I knew this one would be different because I've neglected my physical health in the past few months, but I'm happy to be getting back to it together with this community. My intention for this journey is to accept the struggles and to take on the physical and mental challenges with a spirit of courage and kindness. Have a lovely day everyone, see you tomorrow ☀ Namaste.
Same for me. But that's a sign that I need to commit fully now. It's more of a mindset problem for me. I know I can do these poses long enough and power through trembling and so on but my mind was restless and my inner voice kept telling me to stop this pose now. Which was not necessary. So I am excited to check in every day and see the change
@@ninar.655 There's definitely a mental struggle for me as well, some poses I know I can physically power through but my mind keeps saying it's too much. It's also something that can be trained! I wish you all the best in working on this 🌠
Feel you!
Hello to all fellow peeps with disabillities who chose to do this journey.
I know we're used to being shamed for not doing things in the normal way. So we get so hung up on the details and trying to be perfect to mask our struggles. But it doesn't matter how we choose to do this or when, if you showed up to the session then you succeeded in my book!
Sending extra love to all the people who have extra obstacles. We're in this together!
Nothing says "January" like the 30 day yoga journey. Glad to be back!! ❤️
exactly!
Day 1 Done - God my body was screaming throughout and realised how much I have neglected it and it was a great reminder of WHY I am doing this. Not for a rocking hot bod, not for summer bikini season... but so my body can carry me through this life and fully support what my soul is here to do. Focused on my breath, and got through it. I feel wonderful.
I’d like to thank who everr came up with the idea of ‘the day late club’. I was so looking forward to this and quite disappointed that I was always going to be a day behind, but knowing there will be so many of us has got me motivated again!
There's always someone watching the video at the same time as you. I'm certain of it. Never felt alone when doing these. No matter the time
Love this perspective!
this made me feel really good. :) i haven’t done it yet, but was sad because i’m also a day late! sad no more- day late club!
@@ignoblehierarch the ones where she mentions how crazy it is that everyone is sharing that energy, i can always feel that rush of collective energy and it’s magical
How are you late? Where are you?
I'm in Chile and today(currently 11 am) I'm on time.
I’ve decided that my “mantra” for this year will be “slow and steady”. I hope this will encourage me - to be more kind to myself, to commit and to ultimately achieve my goals. This was the perfect start!
Mine is "it'll click" which was my grandmother's advice she gave me a couple weeks ago during a day that her mind seemed particularly clear.
I love that! -that ought to be mine too, as well as 'it'll click! 🙂
Mine is, " I will get there."
@@fairyqueen7351 Yeah I really liked it, it's short and zippy lol. I knew she'd have stellar advice but I was afraid she might not gather all the stuff I was telling her (like half because she can't hear and won't wear her aides hahah). She came through with a good one lol.
finished doing the practice just before going to bed and i feel refreshed and rejuvinated and proud that i showed up before the day is over. i tried to do this last year whilst there was lockdown in UK but quickly fell off and this year i hope to continue. Day 1 check ☑️✨
Same here
We got this! 💓
Same girl. We got this 💓 see ya on the next video for day 2 check? 😘
Last year I missed a few, but later did catch up sessions of 2-3 in a day, a very flexible practice so don't be discouraged!
see you tomorrow for day two check
I just completed Day 30 of "Move". I started day 1 a skeptic. I am an injured runner who is not much into breathing and laying on a yog mat. It took me to Day 21 to give myself over to it! But I did it, and I am proud of myself. And I am officially a yoga convert. Thank you Adriene - I couldn't have done it without your beautiful guidance.
What is this money on your comment
@@rawan9426 Jenny donated 50 dollars.
This is a great name for the series because every few minutes I had to gently "Move" my dog off the mat lol. Looking forward to the next 29 days and practicing with you guys each morning :)
Haha for me it was the same! And somehow she still ends up curled directly beside the mat with at least one paw touching it xD
Me too!
Had to "Move" my cat off the mat today too....lol!! looking forward to joining you :)
I'm a morning Yogi too with my cat taking over the mat!!
My dog wouldn't move off the mat and lie down so I said, "Be like Benji."
3 years ago I started my first 30 days of Yoga and I remember thinking that I'd never finish but why not give it a go and see how far I get. My first weeks were filled with moments where I almost gave up. I spent many poses angrily cursing Adriene's name as I forced myself into positions I wasn't ready for and stayed longer than my body wanted me to. Even just sitting upright was a challenge. Why was this so hard? Fast forward to today, I'm not feeling great this morning so I take it easy on a few poses and end a few early. Why force myself into a position that isn't going to benefit me today? As I relax in child's pose for a moment I think to myself was this new mindset the key to all my recent progress? I think so, and I can't help but wonder how much time I wasted letting my ego get in the way of me moving forward? Am I doing this in other areas of my life? Might be time to reevaluate a few things.
I had this exact realization this moment. Even though I can’t stay in a pose for as long, or move to the next one with ease that doesn’t mean to just give up.
This is part of my goal for this year. Try every day, even if I can only make it through one minute.
I felt the exact same way today.
I felt very frustrated by the slowness and how long you have to hold the postures for, even though they’re quite simple! Her cues were annoying me as well which I found myself reflecting on during the practice. I spent a lot of my time in child’s pose because I either didn’t want to hold the pose as long or I was over it haha. I didn’t realise how fast I’m running - just a moment in a posture caused me lots of frustration because it wasn’t moving “fast” enough. Now that’s got to change. That’s why I love yoga because it challenges you, it makes you reflect. I know I’ll be a grumpy bum tomorrow as well but I’m sure I’ll come around. I would love to complete these 30 days because I know it’ll be so good for me.
Very eloquently put sir...I,m starting tomorrow....
Eamonn Clabby I’m starting tomorrow too.
My first time taking part in one of Adriene's 30 Day Yogas...infact, one of my first times really trying yoga at all. Felt a little bit anxious after I signed up but so pleased I showed up for Day 1. This year my resolution is to build my self-confidence and be kinder to myself, and doing something like this for my body and mind every day feels like a big step in that direction. So lovely to see that there's a positive and supportive community that comes along with this too! Feel part of something good x
Hi Katherine !!! I am no expert but I do believe that yoga practice with Adriene is my favorite way to experience yoga. Really. I have taken classes in different cities and types of yoga ... but Adriene inspires me and guides me and motivates me BETTER than anywhere! WELCOME and JOIN Adirene EVERY DAY this month!
Well done for completing day 1! Just wait until you get to day 30 - I’m sure you’ll be so surprised by what happens.
Thank you for choosing this. I am thanking myself everytime I remember when I started my first 30 days with Adrienne 6 years ago💕
Welcome! We love you :) you got this.
Welcome! So glad you're here and shared your story. May this journey bring you peace and hope. Hope to see you back tomorrow! 🙏
I hope someone does this with me for Feb! Here after Flow.
I'm also here after Flow 😍 Move feels already a bit more challenging 😅
Day 1 - I showed up, even though I had to cave on some of the moves.. my knees and body just weren't strong enough. Feeling shaky but damn proud I gave it a try. This is the first 30 day YWA challenge I'm committing to. I'm 32 with SLE and arthritis and choose to Move with Unconditional Love and Gratitude for my body. Looking forward to showing up on my mat again tomorrow 😌💕
I found this challenging and had to modify.
You showed up! Child’s pose is your friend. You could Google modifications like using all fours instead of down dog.
Came on here to say I found it tough - I’m older and less mobile than I used to be. Need to not be too hard on myself. I’ll come back for day 2.
In previous years I didn’t have the discipline to complete all 30 days- but I feel ready this time!! 💓
im gonna look for you in these comment sections and check on that
You got this! One of the things that helped me (I’ve been doing this since 2017) is I don’t get fixated too much on the days so sometimes I’d have to miss a day and id try do catch up on the weekend. Or actually just finish a few days later.
You can do it!
you can do it! I completed the journey for the first time last year. it felt amazing. life may try to get in the way, but once you're on the mat it feels so good! like Adrienne says, the hardest part is showing up. make adjustments when you need to (for me its knowing the limits of my wrists, which I've injured in the past.) wishing you the best in this journey!
I'm with you on this
I know they say that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but for me it is every 1 January when the new yoga challenge begins with Adriene. After a heavy year, I cannot help but feel smiley and optimistic ❤
Omg me too!
Yes!!!!!!!! The promise of it got me through the month of December.
Alma, I feel the same way. I was so excited and joyful this morning knowing that Adriene will guide us, and we have the support of the YWA community.
Me too! I look forward to this every January.
Totally agree!
This is my third time trying to do this challenge. IM DETERMINED!!!
More than 15,500 people did this lovely practice with me just now! As I embark on my fourth year of YWA I send my sincere thanks for the talent, humour and generosity of Adriene and her team and the warmth and kindness of the YWA community. Helping us MOVE gracefully and with purpose through 2022. Thank you x
I´m starting late on this challenge, but better late than never. I found this day very hard, and after 17 minutes did I want to quit. But I didn´t and that is so important! Everyone needs to begin on their level, but we are here together!
Yes! I also just started. Good to know I'm beginning the journey with others.
I just started too!! I feel you!! After completing 2 back to back 30 days only 4 months ago I feel like my body tightened up and this one was so hard!! I feel so annoyed but I’m prepared to commit to this every morning even though I have a 2 year old and a business to run! WE GOT THIS!! Thank you so much Adrienne ♥️
Im starting late too!! I was on holiday over New Years then I caught covid and I still feel like trash. Hopefully this challenge gets my strength back
You got this! Happy to share in this practice. Namaste.
Good to know that I'm not the only one that found today's practice very challenging! Off to a late start but committing to the full 30
This makes me so happy that we are all practicing together but apart. It’s magical. 💜
Quite agree ,l,m getting started tomorrow.?.best wishes from the wirral..E
Just started a new yoga journey Move which I never finished 2 years ago. I do half an hour every weekday and follow Adrienne’s videos. This was actually very good, although I am more advanced sometimes it is good to go back to basics and focus on your breathing and moving slowly 💙
I went into this with zero energy and finished feeling my whole body come alive! So glad to be part of another 30-day journey! Happy New Year, everyone!
♥️♥️ same!
"I am here, and that is enough" was exactly what I needed to hear. I had to pause my practice last year after having wrist surgery and then going through covid and it's lasting effects. I am finally feeling recovered enough from both to begin again. This was a beautiful way to resume after my pause. Thank you!
Glad to hear you`re feeling better, best wishes to you!
@@rafieldcorn1385 Thank you!
@@AntCabbage buggest, hey?

If you just did this class and thought there is no way I can do this for 30 days - YES YOU CAN! I thought the same thing when I did my first 30 day Yoga with Adrienne challenge in the summer of 2018. It was not easy but I fell in love with yoga and have not stopped since. I begin my yoga teacher training in February this year and I am so excited! Thank you Adriene for being my original teacher. Namaste x
first time in years! starting again with Adriene❤ things happened and here I am, unable to do most things that I did before. hope to catch my old self and get beyond soon. will comment other days too. let‘s do this!!❤🎉
Every year, I attempt the 30 day challenge, and every year, I quit about halfway through. Today, I felt like I was going to quit on Day 1. I'm going to try again tomorrow. Praying for a gentle session!
Just go one day at a time...congratulate yourself that EACH DAY you have done the whole program:) Encourage your body you are taking time to listen to her and not be afraid:)
Remember you don’t have to do a practice “perfectly” for it to count. Just show up the best way you can and the magic will happen :)
Don't give up KT. You make it what you want and do what you can do. That's what I love about Adriene's yoga and being in my own home. If I can't hold a pose for long or struggle with a pose I give it a try and just do something else that feels good. No judgement. Just you and your mat.
Hello, just wanted to say that you're not alone! My wrists were not happy with me at all. But you know what, we showed up, and if we keep showing up I bet we'll be amazed at our progress after 30 days! It might not be someone else's progress but it'll be OURS.
I also think it’s amazing that you keep coming back :) it shows a real dedication to yourself and perseverance in and of itself.
After weeks of alcohol and not taking care of myself. I've now quit alcohol for January and am now ready to get back on the mat. Thank you Adrienne
this is such a refreshing way to start the year😌

Yo where my dislike counter
So excited for this, day 1. I’ve been away far too long. Still, a beginner, I stopped my yoga journey when life got in the way. Why? I don’t know. Cocky? Probably. The farther away I got, the stiffer I became. The older I felt. Then I fell off my eating plan. Now 2 years later and I’ve gained 40 pounds but more importantly than that, all my pains and stiffness have reoccurred. I feel older than my years (61 on the 12th) Not what I had planned for my life. Time to stop this madness. I know yoga and the keto way of eating is for me. No one’s coming to my rescue. It’s a new year and I’m excited to take back the reins of my life! You’re never too old to change, to improve yourself, no matter what that may entail. I thank Adriene for these free sessions. Not only does she offer a daily flow, she teaches!! And she’s not boring!! (Unfortunately so many others put me to sleep 😴 😂) So here’s to 2022 and all it’s possibilities!! Happy New Year! Meet you all on the mat! 🧘🏻♀️🙏🏼❤️
UPDATE: Just finished Day 1 and I have to admit it was a challenge! Just a stark reminder of how I’ve regressed. But, oh how wonderful I feel now! Granted, I couldn’t do all the poses or keep my head below my hips for long (can someone say “headache”, “pressure”. 🤯 ) but I never stopped, I kept it up till the end! Doing some stretches several times during the day will benefit me along my journey. IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK! 🙌🏼🧘🏻♀️🙏🏼
Joanna, congrats on a successful day 1. You showed up and did what your body could do today. Enjoy the journey.
Joanna, I am so happy for you. I've been doing yoga among other things on and off for the last 20 yrs. I never was a sporty person, but I do what I can because I'm aware of how important it is. Still, the only thing I keep getting back to is yoga. Like you, I appreciate Adriene not only not being boring, but making me laugh! 😊
A couple of years ago they had to operate a benign, but big brain tumor. Since then I sometimes have problems with downward-facing dog and some other asanas (unfortunately, in child's pose too), so I understand the pressure in the head that you're mentioning. But if it feels too much, I stop for a moment. I am now committed to coming back every day. Like Adriene says, showing up really is the hardest part.🧘♀
This practice felt so good. The affirmation “I am here and that is enough” was so grounding for me and I remembered that during challenging moments. I’m looking forward to coming back to this space and showing love to my body through this movement. The hardest parts for me are wrist pressure which I primarily feel in down dog and planking which Is something I’m going to focus on working on. The reminder to come back to your breath before catching up with you is one I needed to hear as well. Namaste 🧘♀️❤️🔥
When everyone talks about “wrist pressure” and “wrist pain” is it really in the wrist itself? Because for me it’s just the pain in the heels of my hands and I’ve always felt like I’m doing something wrong.
I struggled a lot with wrist pain in the past and foam yoga wedges made a huge difference for me! They're cheap on amazon and they take so much of the strain out of your wrists and shoulders (which is where a lot of wrist pain can come from!) :)
@@laurasaur19 the heels of my hands hurt as well. But (as far as I remember, because it’s been a while) it improves when I continuously practice yoga :) you can try to watch some of Adriene’s earlier videoed where she goes into depth with some of the moves. That way you can see if there something you can do different during particular moves. But honestly, bodies are just very different and I think it’s common that people feel different things!
@@laurasaur19 Mine is in the heels of my hands too - mostly my right hand. To alleviate this, I will bring my hands slightly closer to my body - sometimes making sure weight is evenly distributed throughout my hands and fingers doesn't help. I also wonder if I'm doing something wrong, and I had even thought maybe I had some tendon damage before I saw your comment. Thank you for posting that. I just want to add: when I used to do yoga more frequently, that pain eventually stopped happening - I think because the muscles get stronger.
I’m so sad these videos are being released so late this year. That means I’ll have to do them a day later to be able to do them in the mornings. Still super excited though. ❤️
Yes I was just thinking the same thing! Last year the videos were there at 6am Central European time. I need my yoga first thing in the morning, so I guess I'll have to push it out a day this time... 🤷
This!! It was my favourite thing for 6 Januaries in a row, doing them as soon as I wake up. Ah :(
@@mf4194 Don't worry there will still be many of us doing them with you a day later.
It is a shame. I was looking forward to doing them in real time, but I’m not sure my boss would be pleased with me stopping mid work day for a yoga break! I’ll be back tomorrow for day 1
@@kailani37 me too =)
"Remember, your breath is your anchor" - we caught that little nod to last year's journey, Adriene ;)
As always, everything is so beautifully crafted!
"the breath is my anchor and my anchor is the breath"
loved it. like todays practice :D
Thank you so much Adriene! My runner/cyclist husband asked if he could join the yoga group I've been a part of for the past 11 years to work out some of the kinks he acquired in 2020 after a bike accident that left him in the hospital for 9 days and sent him home with some bolts in his sacrum and new tightness (not that he ever stretched...sigh). I said sure, but suggested he do 30 Days of Yoga with you and me first. He did one of your beginners videos several times, and started MOVE with me today! I am very proud and happy! I have been here for at least 5 years, and am so glad that he's joined me! Thank you for being here for us!
I love that! I’m hoping to get my cyclist dad to join my mom and I on Move
@@squigglz97 I hope he joins you!
Never really did yoga, but I wanted to do something for myself this year. And as of struggling with depression and anxiety lately and with exams just around the corner, this is so awesome. I'll try my best and keep showing up. Thank you soo much for all the effort and love you put into this.
Sometimes, when I am dealing with my depression, I just listen and watch the videos. Like, being still and looking at something you can do later is part of practice too! 5 minutes of deep breaths is yoga too! Especially if you have exams coming up. Best of luck on those!
Glad you're here. On tough days I tell myself I'll just do five minutes. More often than not I finish the entire practice, but even five minutes can bring peace. Hope to see you again tomorrow 🙏
hang in there and this is one of the best things you could've chosen to do for yourself! You got this!! Sending you positivity and strength from California. Good luck on your exams.. remember it's all in the breath!
Stick with yoga. I've found yoga 25 years ago while struggling with depression in college. It has kept me level all these years. Take good care of yourself.
Thank you guys so much for all the encouraging and positivity. You are so awesome and I hope you're all doing well.
love that this community has so much love.I had almost given up on social media and all the harsh comments everywhere. Here I can feel the love even though i'm practicing (physically) by myself. "see" you all tomorrow for some awesome movement!
Absolutely ✨
@YogawithAdrienne , would there be a chance that it could be released sooner ? Early morning practice is so good !
The videos are available for download (with a donation) on the YWA website!
@@rebeccafinn1343 but not in advance i guess, before the video is released here.
@@aebbingeable Yes they are in advance! Days 1 to 5 are up already and I just completed day 1 :)
@@rebeccafinn1343 how do you do that?
@@rebeccafinn1343 really? What is the minimum ammount for donation?
It is incredible how she a
knows everything about us. She tells me when to stop staring at the screen and when to focus on breath or when to relax.
Thanks!
Getting to the mat can be the hardest part. How was showing up for yourself today? If the video doesn't drop for you at the ideal time, can you trust that when you DO get to the mat, it could still be just the right time?!? (Shout out to the Day Late Club in Europe! )
This made me feel so happy and amazing, that feeling alone will help me to show up. Even though it can be hard to remember some days I will try to remember this feeling I had after todays session👏 thank you so much Adriene, hope you have great day! ❤️
It was wonderful! I am so excited to start this 30 days with you
i am sooo excited to go on this yoga journey with you! Showing up was a little hard since the holiday mood isnt helping me at all but i enjoyed this practice nontheless! Thank you, Adriene
Today was easy as I couldn't sleep anyway. Other mornings might be hard, but I'm determined to get it done daily!
it was great thanks to you we don't feel alone in this, such a powerful feeling 💖
This is the first time I've turned up for a while and at 66 found it quite challenging for Day one but will be back tomorrow. I always feel so much better when I'm doing yoga regularly.
I am 61 and doing it 🙂
We “oldies” can do it Gayle, at whatever level is appropriate - enjoy this journey - we definitely benefit.🧘🏻
I’m 60 and found it challenging as well. I know I’ll feel better over time but I find i’m quite depressed today. I’ll be back tomorrow
I'm 27 and I was shaking in several poses. If I can still do this at 66, I'll be pretty darn proud of myself!
Yes! I found it challenging too. I stopped and did my own thing with 10 minutes left. I’m not even happy a little with my lack of performance. I’ll try tomorrow though. Darn.
"I am here and that is enough" - Brought out tears and lots of emotions that are within me. Thank you for this Adriene!
Me too Leanza! We are enough!
me too! such a powerful affirmation.
wow! I thought that I am the only one who almost started crying at that moment
I just finished Day 1 and I still have tears from this 🙏
@@mackkiavelli so do I 🙌
Danke!
I think I'm going to be a day behind everyone, as this doesn't drop in the UK until 10.00 am GMT when I'll be well on my way with my day. Hope you have a good session today, and I'll think of you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow! I’m a morning yogi too and it airs at 11 in the Netherlands
I'm in the same position although I started my day late today so joined live it's likely I'll shift to evening practices or like you, shift to the following day. Enjoy!
I enjoy 4pm yoga in front of my fire - rubbish weather in the UK so it's a real pick-me up!
Same here in Greece, airs at 12 midday. Will be doing my sessions a day late in early morning. See you tomorrow for day 1. Happy new year everyone!
Me too! See you tomorrow. There will be a lot of people doing that I think. The day later crew!
Anyone else listening/practicing with air-pods and hear Adriene's heartbeat throughout this video?! So strange but kinda nice, to hear the thump-thumping of her heart. :)
To me as a person with autism the heartbeat was really distracting
@@OllyVish I agree. I found it very distracting after the first couple of minutes.
Yes ! I can hear it too! It’s actually very nice
No I was distracted by the bug on the floor though. I couldn't stop watching it😆
Reading the amazing stories by people in the comments every year makes these 30 day challenges even more special. So grateful to be doing yoga along everyone here
yes, it really does
The suggestion to begin the movement with the breath is a game changer for my practice. It's helped me time my breathing within movements of the poses, something that has always been a challenge for me.
I have been dealing with burnout for a few months ; I'm so happy that this is coming back, because it will allow myself to listen, to stop, to wind down, to connect.
Welcome, everyone ; you've already done the hardest part. You're here 🧡
Same here! Yoga always helps me to recharge and reconnect with myself, which I've needed a lot these past few months after feeling more and more burned out. It feels good to know that I'm not alone and I look forward to go on this journey together with you all!
First time for me! I just wanted to say that I can already feel such a good vibe from everyone :) it’s gonna be awesome to make yoga with people from all around the world 💕 🌼😄
So happy you joined us!!!!!
My first time time, too!! I can’t wait!!
You won’t regret doing this challenge! Welcome 🤗
You will love this and look forward to it every day. My husband and I do Yoga with Adriene together and it has been a wonderful experience. Namaste 🙏
Big welcome from Croatia🤗.Happy to be on this journey with such beautiful souls❤️
As a beginner this was hard but I did my best and will be back tomorrow. I know what I can do and stepped back for the harder parts. I feel good at the end. See everyone tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰
I've been at it for years and still found some poses challenging! The beauty of yoga is that you show up, try, and you'll benefit as you get stronger, even if you just sit in tabletop breathing with us!
if you show up it get's better.
childs pose kills me every time and i dunno why. even after years. but i can eccept it better now :)
Thank you so much for saying that - I’m the same. I started late, never done yoga before and really struggled with the first session, but I feel it just shows me what I have to gain in the long run. Perseverance and consistency ❤️
I loved doing Flow & Center and now on to Move. Thank you Adriene for all you do❤🙏 Anyone else here in 2024?
Hi! I am just starting Move now :) I also loved Flow and Centre and am so grateful to have these journeys at my finger tips.
This was such a moving practise. My hips were so loose afterwards. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the 10k almost people joined around the world doing this beautiful practise alongside me.
And reading all the lovely comments after practice is just a boost, too. What a community !
Yoga with Adriene's 30-day yoga journeys are the best new years gift of all time! :D congrats all for getting through day 1 :D see you all for day 2 :D
I can’t imagine starting a new year without YWA. Thank you Adriene and team for this gift of health and healing and happiness. Namaste 🙏
Soooooo true. My 6th year and it’s the only way to work through January. And those day 30’s …. Oh my!!!
Today was my Day one, first time on this channel, thankyou. I subbed and will do this challenge for the next 30 days
"I am here", that was beautiful. So much respect and gratitude to Adriene.
Thank you 🙏
I am starting late, but I am starting, nonetheless. I can already feel how healing this is going to be for my body, mind, soul. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us all.
Me too.
Same here.
me too!
I am starting now. but late is better than never.
Me too!
Thank You Adriene from the bottom of my heart for showing up year after year, month after month, and day after day for us. I am so grateful I found you 5 years ago .
I took a 2 year break because of my physical and mental health and now I’m back and I’m so happy. ❤
Really wish it was released sooner so I could do it in the morning, but will have to do it a day later - still very excited!!
I will push it out to the next day.. you can too!🥰
For 1 USD you can get the videos in advance on the YWA website!
Yes me too, see you tomorrow ♥️ greetings from the Netherlands
@A Smile Er zijn best veel mensen aan het kijken vanuit Nederland zag ik, vind ik ook leuk om te zien! Zelf ben ik niet Nederlands maar ik woon er een paar jaren :)
Same here
I’m so proud of myself for showing up and being here today. I almost paused the video and left numerous times but instead I choose to be kind to myself. At one point I just turned over onto my back and focused on my breaths and some intentional leg movements. I was relieved when Adrienne followed that exercise with moving onto the back to end the session because it affirmed my choice to keep going and transition to my back. Reading the comments helped me realize I’m not the only one struggling with wrist pain. I kept trying to dig with my claws instead of pressure on my wrists but I’m struggling with how to actually do that. Im showing up each day to connect with and better appreciate my body.
I had to tap out even before the video was halfway through (and that was with going into child's pose a few times already when I couldn't manage).
I am heavier now than the last time I did yoga regularly, and this one was *so* hard on my wrists!
I started doing yoga 1 year ago and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. At age 20 my doctor said I was on the boarder of developing Osteoporosis and years later I was diagnosed with arthritis (most of my family has it too)now I'm 37 and my bones feel better than they did in my 20's. Yoga has helped SO Much! Yoga also helped me tremendously with depression and anxiety. Overall it's impact on my life has been nothing but positive. I also lost a lot of weight 🤗
So great to hear, just the kind of inspiration I need to start🌻
That is so fab. I have only just discovered that I can do yoga when I feel very depressed, and it helps. Before, I would always wait until I felt better. We are so lucky : )
This is so very inspiring to know. I also have both of these issues and looking to fix them with yoga x
Cutting out dairy can also drastically help if you haven't already ❤️
@@evespower thank you. I eat very little diary but am planning on completing stopping this year
I just completed the January yoga videos for 2023 and I'm coming to these to continue into February :) Starting my day with these videos has been the catalyst for so much positive change in my routine, thanks Adriene
Same
Same here, I’m preparing for a really important thing for today and everyday yoga challenge 2023 has helped me started my day and be so productive and I felt like I had to continue and went straight into searching from other challenges from her
Same here, 2023 will be my yoga year
Congrads ! I just finished back to back Center and now its day 1 of Move. Oh that 30 day Move was a challenge considering we all kind of sat around a lot..... in panic the previous year. Breath was just perfect for the times. Namaste !!!! Im happy.
Me too! It took longer than a month for the 'Centre' videos but hoping to work through these quicker 🙂
This killed me, I haven’t done yoga in over a year and I still had to take breaks in between because my body couldn’t handle it. I did come to the mat and did my best and I’m proud of myself! Hopefully by the end of the challenge, I’ll get out of this stronger and more mindful.
Same!!’
I think I returned to child's pose 3 times today because my wrists were too weak. One thing about yoga... the strength comes QUICKLY!!! Keep at it, my friend. :)
You were not alone in your struggle.
@@HelenaMariex I feel ya on the wrist thing oof, had to definitely pause a few times too haha
the good thing is.. if you stick with it, al lot of the classes later in this challenge aren't as hard as the first ones..
So honoured to practice along with all you wonderful human beings. I’m back to work tomorrow working 12 hour shifts so my fear is that I will not continue … but I am prioritizing myself this year and so will set my alarm early to get it in before work and see how it goes!
You and me same Laura, some hard long days coming up but I hope the calm on the mat can make them a little easier. Good luck to you!
Even at night after work to destress and relax and it’ll be something to look forward to while ur at work
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just completed day 1...I'm really proud of myself for showing up. I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to yoga and I pretty much struggled through almost every pose. But I'm determined to continue to show up everyday and see where this journey takes me.
P.S. the comment section is a joy to behold. So much positivity. I'm really happy to be here.
I just finished the first day too and can already feel this journey is going to be life changing 🙂
Starting today, my wrists are crying but proud that I started. Namasté
I felt so heavy today in my body and mind, still feel, but when I did this yoga I had few times that I felt light. Following my breath helped a lot. I’m in a depressive episode of my life, but I have decided to commit to this challenge and hopefully feel more light than heavy in future. Thank you for this beautiful opportinity you give for all❤️ and I send light and love to fellow yogis, we will make it!
I hope you feel better soon! And that yoga continues bringing you light in body and mind. We’re all in this together! Much love xx
Thank you Adriene! This was just what I needed today
Last night I tested positive via a rapid test, and now I am quarantined for the first time in the past two years, sitting alone in my bedroom without much to do as I wait for the results of the pcr.
Knowing that I was going to start Move today gave me a reason to get out of bed and sturucture to my day. Practicing with thousands of people all of the world made me feel less lonely. Thank you all!
When I tested positive at the beginning of December Adriene got me through some tough days! Hope you only have mild symptoms.
I started yoga for the first time 6 months ago at the age of 48 after being ill and stationary for over 15 years. It was by great fortune that I found your channel. Today I attended my very first in studio yoga class. Thank you Adriene. You gave me the tools, inspiration and courage to go. I love your channel and consider you a great gift in my life. Many blessings to you in 2022! Namaste
After almost 6 years, I finally decided to do Yoga again, Im taking this journey very slowly and really listening to my body, taking this as if Im doing Yoga for the very first time again. Other than my once-a-week offline class that I sign up for, Im going to do this series on the days Im not, wish me luck to become better not only in Yoga but also on all over. Thank you Adriene.
There's seriously no better way to start the new year than with a yoga sesh. Thank you for this practice, nameste everyone 🙏💜
Namaste 🙏

Not easy but worth it
I’ve done these journeys on and off for years now, usually completing them weeks late. I’ve found them remarkable each time, and I’m so glad for them each year. Here and now, I’ve moved to a space completely my own for the first time, mentally I’m so much more centered and within myself, and so excited for the future. I’m so ready for this years 30 days
“Maybe you finish the sentence I am here because… or maybe you quietly repeat the affirmation to yourself.. I am here. Because that is enough” This brought tears to my eyes & I felt it in my soul.
I had a similar experience! A very powerful statement : "I am here."
jaceyafrica i love that it’s like she’s really talking to each of us ❤️
Thank you so much for this...I so need it. I used to be very fit but got covid twice and am now struggling. You gently give me hope, one breath at a time 💜💜💜
Ouch! Looks like the timing will be a bit difficult for me. I like to have my Yoga sessions in the morning, just before my day starts. Last year's timing for 30 Day Journey was just perfect, this year though may be a bit of a struggle, but i'm here for it.
Same here, but let's see if on Monday the video will also be published at this hour or a bit earlier as last year :)
I agree, it's the second day in a row that I wake up excited for Move then feel a bit bummed out because it's not ready yet. It would be great to have it available a bit early (morning in Europe)
@@mf4194 yeah, in the FAQ it says this will be the release time for all the videos so don't get too excited for tomorrow 😅
@Marama Yeah, I guess this is what i will do 👍🏽
Lots of people doing it a day later so just do that. Its really not a big deal. It wouldnt matter what time it was uploaded because there would always be people that the time wouldnt suit. Use this as a new years lesson to be adaptable to circumstances
It's unfortunate that the videos are released later in the day this year, at least for Europeans (11 in the morning for me) since I like to do these before work. I think I will push the whole thing out one day, though it makes me sad that this way I'm not doing it with everyone else!
I felt the same, but going by the comments there are quite a few people (including me) who will push the Videos to the next day. So we will still be doing them together :) See you tomorrow!
I'm doing the same thing! And I think many other Europeans will, so we're in this together
Yep me too - we’re in the ‘day late’ club!
I didn’t realise the videos wouldn’t be released until 10.00am! So I’m going to be in the day later club too, mornings are the only time I’ll always be able to make the time
Jup, me too..greetings from Austria😊💞
If there is something to be grateful to the pandemic for, for me that would be having met Adrienne and her amazing community. Thank you for having changed my life for the better.
