Abs, Arms, and Attitude! | Yoga For Weight Loss

Our Yoga For Weight Loss series continues with this 31-minute warming practice that invites you to focus on the power of thought as you build strength and awareness in the arms and abdominals.
In this practice, I invite you to work with the body rather than on the body.
With a focus on upper body strength, waking up the abdominal wall, and bringing some energy to the third chakra - the power center, we’ll also check in with the attitude that surrounds how we feel about our bodies. This sequence will have you stepping off your mat feeling your best, physically AND mentally.
Return to this video to build muscle tone.
Return to this video anytime you need a reset.
I got your back.
Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!
Namaste.

My girlfriend showed me yoga with Adriene a year ago and, without planning it, I’ve done yoga every day since. It has changed my life. I was able to quit drinking, lose weight healthily and calm down my nervous system. I have tourette’s, and like how stutterers don’t stutter when they sing, I don’t tic when I’m doing yoga. It puts my body in flow. Believe Adriene when she says trust the video and trust yourself. I gave up all my expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I hope everyone finds what they’re looking for through their yoga practice. I know it’s possible. Blessings to all ✌️

[@paulmclaughlin6068]

That’s really inspiring. I’m so glad Yoga with Adriene has given you this. Thanks for sharing. I think the comments section on the Yoga with Adriene channel is the gentlest and kindest place on the Internet. Namaste 🙏🏽 Thank you Yoga with Adriene, thank you yoga with Adriene community. 🙏🏽

A few months ago I could not do the toe stand, tonight my body just...did it. I love you Adriene and I love practicing with this community. Namaste!

[@fluffyross2297]

Wow that felt alot more intense, today then it should have. Today I'm not feeling my best, I've got my Fibromyalgia acting up as it does. My shoulders, and lower back hurt like hell, but even so I persisted with my daily yoga with Adriene. I had to pause the video a couple of times to rest, and get my breath back, but I did it. I feel so good that I did it. Today's practice has helped my pain in one way, and I do feel stronger, but now I'm gonna do a slightly gentler practice, and cool it down. Thank you so much Adriene & Benji, for always being there for me. Love you both, see you again tomorrow, with me hopefully feeling a little more myself. 💕 Namaste 🙏🧡

Hi Adriene. I'm a 36 year old guy. Last night started a 60 day exercise routine and the instructor said find a basic yoga routine online and do about 20 mins a day. Having never done yoga before I didn't know where to start. So I KZbin searched and found your video 'beginners yoga 20 minute workout' and did that last night. Tonight inquisitively I decided to check this one out, and kept up with it. I am going to stick with this one. You are amazing and have great energy. Thanks for your content and helping people like me. Greetings from the UK. I feel great having just finished this video, it really hits muscle groups that I thought were strong but are actually very weak, in some of these poses! Perfect conditioning for the body. Namaste!

[@sajmt1414]

Girl! You KICKED my butt. I did the whole video. The whole time I just kept reminding myself “I AM STRONG “ over and over. Thanks for waking up back muscles I did not know I had. That was a great workout. As I keep doing yoga daily, I am becoming stronger and my body is physically changing. You always say “Trust me, Trust the video “ I do.

[@williamb7275]

"Downward facing Dog or Child's Pose" Me, the latter 🤗😛. It is another hot day. I felt really tired to start. I was up for a walk I started right before 5 am and then took a nap afterwards. But now, I am energized and am glad I did not follow the mind's reluctance to another video. I even got the one leg up on each side when we turned to the side. Not long, but done!

I even thought about swapping it with the meditation one that’s how bad my day was going and this seemed intimidating. I am so happy I did it. I feel a lot more energized and it wasn’t that bad.

Good morning, afternoon and evening YWA friends. Who is still breathing? moving? This one really can take you to your edge. I know it did for me. I had to ease up a couple times but right now, I feel quite good. I do have a question that perhaps someone can answer. I noticed bumps appear on each of my ankles. I think they are actually blood vessels. They only seem pronounced while standing. Right now, sitting, I do not see or feel them. However, having just stood up to check, I can see and feel them again, although less so than while we were practicing. Any idea what that is? What causes that? Enjoy the day! Move day 10. Day 157.

I started this morning on the wrong side of the bed and had a mind full of negative self talk and bitterness so I decided to get on and do one of Adriene's videos. By the end of the video I feel centered, more positive, and I don't feel a shred of that negativity I woke up with. Yoga is playing such a huge role in my mental and emotional health and I cannot thank Adriene enough.

Great job for fighting thru it. Just finished up this session too. Sending positive vibrations your way!

[@tracykneller1970]

I've been doing yoga with adriene for over a year since lockdown started, but found this the hardest session yet!

[@cathydakin5549]

Me too!

@@cathydakin5549 Yup! Side planks are beyond me! Did what I could...

Nadija Sulcaj thank you 💕🥺

[@hollivybez]

I was speaking with a local yoga instructor and she mentioned that you are a lifeline to many and have helped so many people. I know that you have totally made a difference to me. Thank you so much - namaste

"I'm gonna kick your butt" is always a scary warning at the start of a ywa video.

[@Artspeaketh]

I chuckled aloud at the mention of the Beyoncé Chakra! Also i was unable to do VasishtAsana. Then you reminded me that it was “my body, my practice and my happiness”. I accept the way my body is. Thankyou for encouraging me and helping me stay focussed!

Have been practising with Adriene on and off, almost every day, but today I decided to join the COURAGE month and commit to every day! What a spicy start it was, yummy!!! So grateful for these videos, this community, this wonderful teacher in more than just yoga.... I'm definitely finding what feels good.

[@alyssahasenack9549]

Same! Thought committing to a whole month would keep me looking forward to something everyday while inside lol

[@isabellegrady4324]

Same!

[@andrewabrehart6628]

Another wonderful session. How Adriene, and i'm sure many others, can hold a conversation in side plank. 👏

[@Ginatus]

I'm finishing off the last few practices I have left on the Energize calendar and chose to do this practice today in order to avoid it falling on Thursday :D (= the day I go to an arm intense gym class). Good sweaty class! Though I never really know where to put my head in steeple grip lol.

[@robertalynch5433]

This workout was intense for this 69 year old body, but I loved the break from the world. Thank you Adriene.

[@brendamartinez4624]

Adriene: I'm gonna kick your butt me: okkkk also me 10 mins in: im dead thank you for respectfully kicking my butt and teaching me an amazing practice. Much Love.

[@vesna2953]

me too

[@libsenra]

I have come back to this short, simply but so beautiful practice (over 4-5 years period) and IT S SO GREAT and HELPFUL!

[@emmaharris3367]

Perfect balance of strength and focus, love how you speak and your attitude towards your own body but speaking to others at the same time xx❤❤

[@jansjeharmers342]

I love the different core movements.

[@every1luvsmarr]

Today was the first day of my period and i had BAD cramps. I was supposed to do this practice in the morning but pushed it to 10pm. Im so beyond proud of myself for doing this practice though, as it helped me not only physically, but mentally. Thank you Adriene, benji and this incredible community for keeping me healthy and sane

[@mindfork4741]

What kind of magic is it that I could barely left my arms from 10mn of push-ups from yesterday's practice but after 30mn of arms and abs (and attitude!!!!) somehow my arms don't hurt anymore?? 😂 Thank you Adriene for this great attitude advice. I'm trying to be my own mom voice and reprimand myself every time I think that I can't do something so I whisper to myself "I can and I will!" Take care everyone 💜

[@christhomas8867]

Your videos starting to change my life 2 years ago and I just keep getting better and stronger! Thank you for your personality! And for your videos they truly have been transformative! I was a drug addict for a long long time, and this next January I will be clean 3 years! And it’s all thanks to your videos, meditation and Pilates! Started out for beginners now I search intermediate! Your amazing! Ty!

[@erinhoulihan2881]

Loved it! Woke up on the ‘wrong side of the bed’ today and in less than 35mins have a whole new attitude and outlook in the day. Thank you, adriene!!🙌🧘🏼‍♀️

[@cherylbelnap685]

I noticed the last time I attempted this video I didn't finish it, but this time I did! I feel great. Adriene is great, and you all are doing great😊

[@samsmith4411]

I shared my mat with my very aged dog this morning and found myself shifting from one end of the mat to the other. I didn't have the heart to move her off as I love her to bits and can't wait to celebrate the up and coming 13th birthday. Have a great day everyone and be kind not only to yourself but others, whatever their species. Namaste

[@rosemarylemos81]

Jumped a day so that Sunday is meditation. This practice is hard!

[@natashamakhdoomi3666]

Move day 10! Once I'd done this practice, it was quite challenging for me then! This time after more than 2 months of continuous practice, it became much easier and I'm really greatful and delighted to be able to do this! Thank you Adriene for helping me to build strenght both physically and mentally! Now I konw why I come onto the mat everyday! Namasteh❤🥰❤

[@fantastic2613]

This is my first time doing a 30 minute yoga. I felt that it would take long at first, but I was surprised when Adriene said it's almost done. I thought it's been 10 minutes but I finished the whole video. This has been my 4th time doing yoga this week and I'm glad I made progress.

[@sarabertholdson6184]

Jisstaness! My sideplank collapsed totally. Have to work on this challenge!

[@deshong5047]

I have to say I appreciate so much the way Adrianne talks about our bodies when doing weight loss yoga. She knows many are coming to this video from a place of feeling lack or dislike or hatred towards their bodies. Without pushing it, she is just reminding us to be kind to ourselves. It genuinely means a lot to me.

[@srose4589]

Definitely a challenge but I feel great and proud to have finished the video!

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Day -28 of the Energize Journey was a sweaty one. I didn't return to the mat until 10ish P.M. I am proud of my commit. Best wishes everyone! 🦋❤❤🦋

[@katasz6180]

Day 4 of BUILD, and my first day I was able to do the boat pose without shaking like hell (after ~80 days of practicing with Adriene)!! I'm so damn proud of myself

[@musicsummer129]

that's amazing!!

[@biolovebiolove4110]

loved how soft and strong this practice is. more like this please xxx
