Center - Day 13 - Trust

One of the biggest practices my relationship with yoga has shined such a light on is learning and embodying trust. I believe it is at this point in the 30-day journey where it is valuable to shine a little light on how powerful our relationship with trust is. And perhaps maybe take a little stock in a safe space to do so.
Are you able to relax your shoulders, your drive to accomplish, your habit of self-judgment today - and trust the process more?
Today we will play with some fun breathwork, and for the rest of the journey, you will see practices that average 20 min in length - with shorter practices in the coming days to support you in keeping up this good work, a new habit perhaps that will serve you for the rest of your days.
If you have the time, let me know how you are feeling in the comment section below!

Just show up every January for 5 years and your yoga practice will spread into all corners of your life. TRUST ME. My mind no longer schedules a practice, it just happens: I chop vegetables, my body moves and breathes; I sit at the desk, work, my neck and hips tell me to take a break and stretch. It's a wonderful experience! And it may happen at any stage of your Journey! Listen, trust and follow. Thank you, everybody 💜Namaste🙏

After 13 days in a row of yoga, I realize this could really become something I do every single day, not just once or twice a week. And how amazing would that be?! Love to everyone here!

[@shaunacase752]

I've been thinking the same.

[@DuxElmo]

I felt like that last january, and this time around I'm celebrating a year of 330+ days of yoga! I did all the different YWA January-series during the year, highly recommended. Keep it up and let's all celebrate a year of finding what feels good in 2024!🥳

[@anne-laure6669]

@@DuxElmo that’s exactly what I wanted to do! Thanks for the inspiration

[@KatNicholson]

I hope you can manage this for yourself, if not every day then MOST days… that’s where i am at now and the difference it makes is huge… days that begin with yoga are better days 🙏❤

[@rawanmustafa7561]

I have been doing this for 253 days now, and it's the best decision ever!

[@shymaid5680]

If you're going through a difficult time, it can be hard to relax your mind and tune into the practice. I found that my thoughts tended to start churning when I got on the mat making it very difficult to focus. If you're struggling with this, I would like to share a technique that really helped me with this! Before practice, take some time to write down everything that is troubling you in a notebook. Write as long or short as you want. You don't have to 'do' anything with what you write down, don't start analyzing it or something like that. It is just to give those thoughts and feelings an outlet and acknowledge them, so they don't 'have to' keep spinning in your head and you don't have to press them down or try to ignore them. When this is done, get on your mat and practice. Hopefully your mind will be more quiet. Use the practice as a moving meditation, it will help to regulate your nervous system and help you find your center. You can also follow up the writing with a meditation, it will have the same effect. If you don't see any difference the first time you do this, why not try it for a week? Maybe you just need to repeat it a few times before you see any difference. It doesn't hurt to try, right? Lastly, if you are having a difficult time, trust that you will find your way through this. Trust that it will pass and trust yourself to get to the other side. Trust you will find help on the way. I know it can be very difficult, and I hope this little technique can be a little step in the right direction. And lastly-lastly, thank you, Adriene, for creating this space! You are changing so many lives with this channel and your loving practices! ❤ Namaste 🙏

[@angiegibbings2681]

I have done these January practices for 3 years but never have I managed to do them daily it has usually taken me until mid Feb to complete but this yr is different this yr I am here everyday with out even thinking about it. Thank Adrienne for knowing exactly what I needed, I lost my brother in October 22 when he made the unimaginable decision to end his own life💔 these daily practices are helping me more than you can know ❤️

[@mougwarren150]

Well done for showing up every day ❤️ When you feel that ache in your heart when you are missing him just remember the word emotion has the word motion in it... emotions are meant to pass through you. Close your eyes feel the sorrow and breath till the ache subsides. Allow yourself to cry...it's the soul taking a bath. Big hug for you 🤗

[@haniaward5694]

Good for you!!! You are benefiting greatly from Adriene's wonderful daily practices. 🙌🤗 I lost my brother on October 21st, 28 years ago. Since it was a sudden death, I remember feeling afraid of losing the memories. But the memories do live on inside of us. Moug is right and writes beautifully about letting the emotion flow through you. The loss is more bitter for you as he didn't need to die, but we never know the extent of people's sufferings. Blessings to you and your family and continue using the mat to ground you. ❤️❤️

[@colleens.3350]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. I am glad that you are taking this time out for yourself each day. ❤‍🩹This practice definitely helped me when my grandmother died in Jan 2021.

Thanks, Adriene for your kindness and consideration in making this practice for all, whatever our age or body shape. At the end, we all feel as though we have reached the stars, and gained a feeling of satisfaction and self confidence,bar a small wobble on the way!!! Namaste 🙏

My cat seems to enjoy watching me for entertainment 😅 but she also often comes and lies on my chest when I’m finished and purrs like mad, which is lovely 😁

[@trishcook5859]

My 2 rescue dogs seem to graduate towards the mat as the end of the session gets closer. They go from watching to joining in. I have had unexpected nose to nose moments in downward dog twice this month so far, and one mosh pit experience on the mat, along with 3 of us under the blanket during the burrito wrap-up time at the end of day 8. Love it!

Todays theme really resonated with me. Im trying to learn to trust myself more and listen to what my body tells me and trying not to panick about what comes up. Its a journey for sure! Im so happy that for this 30 day yoga journey I decided to modify the postures to what feels good, it makes it easier to maintain showing up everyday, and of course this community helps tremendously as well. Thank you all!!

Keeping centered as best as possible while loving and learning to accept life’s constant challenges. Yoga has been my favorite challenge so far especially when my arthritic body chooses to act up. But I’ll keep going as long as I can, with you Adriene, as my guide. Blessings as always! ❤

[@TheIz92]

Morning yoga for the first time! Challenging, but I’ll trust that it’s all good. 😊 I have a full and fun day ahead and trust is really gonna be needed in many ways. What a perfect way to start this day. ❤

[@yuzik01]

I love that every practice in this series so far starts on the ground, I always start by sitting down on my mat and playing the video on my phone and when I have to get up again to standing I get annoyed, I prefer to slowly work my way up from the ground rather than the other way around so I really appreciate this small insignificant detail :D

[@treelady5560]

I decided to "trust" today by following this practice without any visual aid. I have to say, I must commend you and your team for designing these practices so that even those who are visually impaired can get the most out of them. I had absolutely no difficulty following this practice with a black seen. I usually end up quitting these 30 day challenges after day 12. I'm proud to say I am still here and incredibly grateful for the wisdom I am gaining with every practice. Thank you so much. 💕

[@betinabinah1825]

Hello community. I wrote this on January 10th but the day had already pass on both sides of the globe so I decided to repost it here because I want to share and receive the LOVE. Good evening community! My name is Bettina and I am finally sitting down on my mat to get ready at 6:30 at night here in Arizona to do this practice! I've done many of these 30-day challenges and I always feel really proud of myself when I complete them. I tend to not look at the comments because I get sucked in and spend way too much time reading on the computer even if it does move my heart and soul. But the ladies comment who's also 57 like myself got to me and I thought that I might leave a comment as well. It feels nice to have this community for me because I haven't had a human friend or family in decades. And on top of that I've been dealing with mean landlords all of my life. I'm a retired school teacher from New York and somehow my life lent itself to owning an RV and living with three cats. The RV ( my holy sanctuary), is no longer running and will probably never run again and I also don't have a car. I spend my days writing poetry and trying to send Good vibes to humanity. Although my decades have been difficult there is always a permeating Grace that resurrects me when the unkindness of humans kicks my ass. On January 1st not only did I sign up for this 30-day practice but I also signed up for another one. In addition to that I also do a daily yoga nidra practice, reiki on myself, tapping for financial freedom, face yoga and a pranayama practice. So beginning what's going to be many many hours of self love at 6:00 at night is going to be tough but I'm going to do it. Because when there's no love in your life , your self love is of immense importance. For those of you that read this all I want its to own my own property and home. I don't know why my dream has not come true? I haven't even lived with a man yet and I've had a wedding dress waiting to be worn for 13 years. I live a very isolated life which most of the time, shockingly enough, satiates me! But what I'm being kicked off property by people who are abrasive and then I need humans to help me and there's no one there it could get the best of me. I'm posting this really long comment because I never have in the past and it seems like there's a lot of beautiful gentle women out there and I'm absolutely wanting love and support, even if it is over the internet. Thank you for your prayers and whatever love you decide to send me. It's now 6:40 and I have to get my groove on. On a final note Adriene, if you haven't already heard it, you're an angel in a funny human form and we are all immensely grateful for your presence in our lives! 💙🧡💓❤️🤗 It's actually 3 in the morning I'm feeling more uplifted then when I sent the posting but I'm certain that this feeling will return and I will need the warm comments on another day. I am sending you all very large hugs!!!Betina

[@sophierixon3010]

I hardly ever post comments on KZbin but, even though I don't think that I have anything adequate to say, I didn't want to leave yours unanswered. Life can be very hard and I really hope that yours improves. Perhaps you could join a Yoga class in your vicinity or a book club or volunteer for a charity and start to reach out to people that way? You might find some like souls. In the meantime, it is lovely that you are enjoying the 30 day challenge. Take care and may you find happiness.

[@jennyh8544]

Hi Betina Sending you love and hugs It’s great you are doing the yoga and brilliant you’ve reached out with this message- that takes courage - so wow- well done I agree with Sophie- can you look around locally to see who you can connect with locally too? I’m sure there are some lovely kind people who you can also have a face to face contact with occasionally. They are probably also looking for personal connections too. Whenever I go for walks - I always always say hello and smile to whoever I see. It makes me feel happy but more importantly none of us know what someone else is going through either. Wishing you well Jenny

To everyone who is behind, there’s someone here with you. I really loved today’s practice. It took a lot for me to get to the mat and it felt like my body was protesting along the way. But after awhile my body began to feel more balanced and less resistant. It’s truly a reminder for me to trust in the process.

So thank you everyone! xxx

[@alexdyannyu]

I really enjoyed the balancing moves in today's practice. I've been rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender and I felt like I was air bending while flowing through the movements 😄

[@ejanerich]

There's something extra special about this year's journey for me, so thank you Adriene and the YWA team for curating such a magnificent experience.

I’m feeling very relaxed after this 💞

[@80patie08]

Thank you, Adrienne. I've recently been dealing with vestibular migraines, that put a stop to my yoga practices for about 6 months. I've started again with this challenge and while I've been way less balanced than before the vestibular problems, I feel like I'm getting better every day. It's been really helpful being able to practice at home without fear of embarrassment from falling at a public class. So to any other people with chronic illness or pain, it's hard to convince yourself, but when you feel like you can't do it all is actually when you benefit the most from yoga :)

[@annaparticolare6455]

Same here, I struggle with chronic illness, mainly from a psychological viewpoint and it made me quit my yoga practice for ages after my diagnosis. Ever since I started it again last September I experienced great difficulties with my balance, so poses like one logged tadasana or warrior three were a big no no for me. Slightly improving now, with regular practice, although always off balance. But that's the story of my life 😉 Good luck and take good care 🙏

[@sapphiccore]

i came so close to missing this one but i’m so glad i didn’t. i love how everyday is something new and different for me. i’ve been suffering with chronic back pain ever since i had covid back in june last year and was worried about taking this journey but knew i needed to try and while the pain is still there, it hasn’t made it worse at all and definitely IS helping in many other ways and i can’t tell you how happy it makes me knowing i can start moving again without causing further pain because there were so many months last year where up i thought it wouldn’t be possible

[@mattvanity284]

Too many people here worried about not doing this practice everyday . It’s made for whatever day you can get to it just enjoy the days you are here .

[@butternutpickle234]

By far my favorite practice of the new year! My fiancé is about to take his MCAT to get into medical school and I just graduated college. So much uncertainty in our lives. Where is he going to get accepted? What state are we gonna end up living in for the next 4 years? Will I be able to find a job that I love there? So many unknowns and this was such a beautiful reminder to TRUST the process and TRUST the journey! Everything works out the way it needs to! Much love ❤️

[@larahurley686]

I was im tears just minutes before this practice. I almost went to bed without doing the yoga. But instead I started scrolling through the comments here and I started to feel better. Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and for also sharing when you are having a hard time and almost miss a practice. It makes me feel less alone and reminds me that I can do this. 💗

[@dawngriffith5361]

Thank You, this was just what I needed!!💞🙏

[@GalacticFrequencies]

And I’m back once again lol took a few month break but oh does it feel good to get back to my yoga practice. Let’s finish this strong. Sending you infinite Divine blessings of love, light & gratitude.

[@chrisstrompolos8416]

REALL liked this one. Thank you, thank you, A!

[@parastookhamissi]

I am glad I came to the mat today because I was beating myself for missing so many days but everyone's comments and this practice totally reminds me of what's important which is just showing up as I am without any expectations. Thank you everyone for being here for me! Thank you for this amazing practice!

[@sammileung86]

I am here at my own pace too. Let's just keep showing up

[@almadeliart]

Namaste 🙏🏿 my dear Adriene 💕

[@alicenesbitt]

Hello from Newcastle Australia- been in hospital last 2 days no yoga for me for a while but will sit in with you all …🙏

[@Memorywidu]

[@xxangeleyes40xx]

Get well soon Alice x

[@TheBrendabertin]

get well soon and join us later!

[@alicenesbitt]

Thankyou all for your kind words - I have stitches in my face,lower leg and a skin graft taken from behind the ear - it will get better one day at a time ..🙏 😁

[@randysteiner6382]

Hope you are healing well.

[@DimitrisChrrr]

It was challenging coming to the mat today for me… but I’m so glad I did❤

[@sunsetsandcloudsoncoffee]

Every practice in this pack has been a revelation. Center is shaping up to be my most favorite annual practice. I feel my core even in normal movements now. Thank you so much, Adriene. You are a gem! ❤️

[@kerriepayne634]

I agree,this 30 day journey is by far my favorite and one I shall no doubt repeat often 💕

[@jeniboyns]

Yes - I was making my breakfast this morning and was so aware of how awake my core was, for the first time in ages!

[@jbrughma]

Yes,I agree! This serie is by far my favourite 😊

[@daniellerola6637]

Good evening everyone! Today was a late one for me but I did it. Truly a challenging practice too. I need to remember that not being perfect at everything (those balancing moves were tough) is a opportunity for growth and not a reason to get frustrated with myself. Thought I'd share this idea (that I admittedly struggle with) in case anyone else could use it.

[@Noemie715]

Day 13 done! What a beautiful practice, it's been tough to show up everyday with anxiety and depression but i'm doing it! We're all doing it!

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Well done you😊✊🏾for showing up. You are not alone...it really helps with the trust to show up to take care of yourself, trust in the process, not the goal and being present for everything is as it should be, trust that this will shift and you will see & benefit as you courageously keep showing up....no matter what. You should be proud of yourself✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾Sending you strength and love..🙏🏾💜

[@unearthknowledge4282]

Its my day 13 ...i really like this process ...thanks ❤❤.

[@Tyagi244]

This practice broke me twice. After being left a crying mess yesterday, i tried this again today and thankfully, no tears this time around. Was i better? No! Just less anxiety. Trusting is difficult. Hopefully, i’ll improve the next time i do this.

[@dbr27]

Thank you. These practices have been like a rainbow in a dark, cloudy day. Gracias 🙏🏽🤍🇵🇷

[@anuja.thruthelense]

Day 13 of Center ~ TRUST 💓 I trust the process

[@tanitlaguens3878]

The idea today was to trust, so I guess we started working on it even before, when we didn't find day 13's premiere as usual. Anyway, it was so beautiful, like a dance. Exactly what I needed for today, trust. Gracias!

[@helgaschoeman]

Trust, a very powerful and rewarding emotion, yes, we did trust

[@kristinamccardle2539]

I was by going strong. Then motivation under the weather put me a halt. Still on day 13. Thts okay. I’m taking it at my speed. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@missshelly4240]

I was a little worried that I was going to stop the journey all together. I’m a few days behind, but I am going to attempt to either catch up or simply allow myself to continue from here. Either way thank you for this space!

[@earth_mamawolski8205]

Yes I'm behind too but still chugging along - cheering you on to continue 🎉💞🙏🏻

[@laurenwagy801]

im behind too since i was really sick this last week :( im sad about it but trying to give myself grace 🧘‍♀🍃💖 we can do this!

[@IceBlueBookworm]

I was sick so I am behind too. You are not alone, we got this!

[@Froglet1968]

Trust is a massive one isn't it? Trust yourself, your intuition and your decisions. Trust Adriene and the community to carry you a little when if you wobble, trust you can and will do this...I'm saying this all to myself as well as anyone reading this...

[@HomemadeWithYalda]

Little challenging since I have hip pain I had to modify! I sure did sweat ! Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful yoga videos ❤

[@nayshondramercer7650]

Doubled up today because I missed yesterday due to travel. Feeling good! Two-week mark tomorrow. See you then!

[@paigelevy660]

oh man what a challenging session! It felt so good to push myself in the balances this morning and really find my center. It's so dark in the mornings here which always gets me down, so I'm really excited to start incorporating a practice into my morning routine because it feels great and actually gets me ready to go for the day! thanks very much for today!!
