Day 12 - Focus | MOVE - A 30 Day Yoga Journey

[@debbiemarais644]

"Where attention goes, energy flows". Wow. Keeping that one.

[@ClassyclawsinArizona]

I thought the same thing when I read that. That hit me in a good way to help me recognize where my thoughts and actions are taking me.

[@sajwellebeing]

So true!

[@amystiener7069]

Same! I couldn’t stop repeating it in me head. What a great flow today!

[@annlouise3711]

I love that one too!

[@susanturner5504]

A brilliant and insightful thought for sure ❤️

[@staceymckenna9053]

Normally when Adriene wears a sweatshirt it means it’ll be a gentler or easier practice but she tricked me today! This one kicked my butt and I loved it!

[@TD-qi2rw]

That is so funny !!! I was thinking the same. It feels so wonderful to laugh.

[@zoemoorcroft4623]

I was just thinking that, certainly not an easier practice!

[@rachelmccrory7830]

I was totally lulled into a false sense of security by that sweater too. 😂

[@TD-qi2rw]

@@rachelmccrory7830 thanks for the reply.....I just had another pretty good laugh ( at myself)!!

[@thebossladya2493]

Thanks for the heads up! I was definitely thinking the same.

[@JoyAileen]

I read in the tree of yoga how with practice and time, effort becomes joy. This is my 7th year joining and it has felt like the biggest gift to get a chance to come here every day. Effort has become joy. Time for self-study, growth, challenge, exploration and joy. Even in the asanas that I want to give up on I feel so much satisfaction from pushing through and proving to myself I can be disciplined. The only day I struggled to show up on the mat was our rest day (previous years I've struggled many or most days), and that gave me insight in how I move off the mat, that I've had a habit of procrastinating rest. With time the effort to carve out time to rest will turn into joy too. I'm so grateful I get to move with you, learn about myself and find more joy as I do so. Namaste ❤️

[@yogawithadriene]

Beautiful Joy, thank you for sharing. I love this.

[@veenavats2157]

Thank you Adriene for keeping me disciplined ..Great peactice🙏🧘🏻‍♀️

[@yellowtoad6803]

This resonates so much with me. "With time the effort to carve out time to rest will turn into joy too." I would like to hold myself to that as well, let's commit to that joy. :)

[@acb1635]

"Rest" is the only day I've missed so far, as well. Which is a message I'm trying to take to heart: don't skip rest!

[@kuwililenihauwanga]

Wow this moved me and is so so true! Thank you for sharing this quote, so proud of all of us!

[@katnaish]

I just wanted to pop into your comments and say WOW! I'm still here and today, I stood on one leg. I have MS and this is something I have not done in a few years. I thank you deeply,and I thank myself for showing up ❤❤

[@hw5616]

I have ms too! I’m proud of us for showing up when we know how difficult (and sometimes painful) it can be! Lots of love to everyone❤️

[@beans222uwu]

I used my bluetooth ear set today to help me focus, and discovered that her mic is placed perfectly for us to hear her heartbeat... It is absolutely beautiful and it transforms this entire yogic experience. Adriene I SEE YOU! You are a blessing to this earth, this modern world, and well thank you for all that you do.

[@bambi9935]

I'm glad you mentioned cause sometimes I wasn't sure if it was mine or hers - or both that I heard ^^

[@LaCroixStPaul]

I am a therapist and often recommend YWA to my clients. Reading your comments opened up a whole new level of exploration for myself, and my clients as we realized we could hear Adriene’s heartbeat during practice. Bilateral stimulation is a major component of EMDR and trauma informed therapies. I believe the ability to hear her heartbeat throughout practice adds an incredibly useful and grounding component for anyone who has experienced trauma and wants to reconnect their heart, mind and body. Thanks for the tip!

[@thewalkerbalestrazzifamily9652]

I us ed my earbuds the other day and I was wondering too if it was me or my imagination 😅 thank you for your comment!

[@milenaradeva2733]

I have to admit, this was my New Year's promise to myself! 12 days in a row is a miracle for me, THANK you Adriene!

[@ellap2123]

I don’t work on a ship and this was challenging! Well done to you 👏👏

[@jezanne]

Funny, I plan a cuise and during the practice was wondering how it will be to do yoga on a ship.

[@MrJeanGuru]

@@jezanne how did you like the cruise?

[@lindseyjohnson9333]

I finally got sober almost 3 years ago and have done yoga with Adriene ever since. I never used to be able to roll back onto my back due to a injury and after a year of practice I could. Thanks so much Adriene ☺️

[@pflenz]

3 years sober , that’s awesome !! Yoga and Meditation a beautiful way of life 🕉

[@LovelyHoneyBadger]

My 3 year soberversary is also coming up at the beginning of March! Exciting times! Well done :) It certainly isn't easy x

[@deprivalli]

i'm so so proud of you and those also in recovery, and may your healing continue along with your yoga journey. all the love from me, almost 6 months sober/clean ❤️

[@TheKindredTrucker]

YES, congratulations!! I've started making videos recently as I prepare to go out over the road as a trucker and document my experience. YWA has EVERYTHING to do with the progress I've made in sobriety and in life -- including growing the courage to do something like trucking. Your comment brought tears to my eyes, I am SO happy for everyone else out there who is doing the work in recovery. It's an honor to share that journey with you, stranger. I was just thinking about making a video specifically talking about how YWA has been an important part of my recovery. I also strongly recommend the Wim Hof method, which has been a welcome addition to my daily yoga practice and has further helped me shore up mental strength. Thanks to you, to Adriene and to this whole amazing community!!❤❤❤

[@elleemm4548]

Congratulations, Lindsey, on your sobriety. I'm four years six months sober myself. I think it feels great, and hope you do too.

[@karolinaj5045]

I love the non-judgemental atmosphere here. I feel like it's a success to show up after a few missing days and not a failure to have missed them

[@skurbadurba]

great reframe!

[@annmariehenderson5630]

"Where your attention goes, energy flows" - my new mantra!!!!! Great practice today!

[@sandradysli5045]

Thanks for reminding us, ´Where your attention goes, energy flows’ 🥰

[@sajwellebeing]

Yes! Love that one too. So true.

[@AgataSawickaTV]

I really felt progress in my body today. More flexibility and energy, more strength. 30 minutes a day really can make miracles

[@MicheleLaCagnina]

I am feeling the same thing, and after only 12 sessions. Yoga is magical.

[@marianaisdabomb]

Thank you Adriene! Ironically, although the title of today's practice is Focus, I found it harder to focus today, but it's okay, tomorrow is a new day :)

[@SixtineLys]

Same here ! See you tomorrow :)

[@yogawithadriene]

Designed for help you grow not to master!! Yesss, see you again tomorrow. 🧡

[@erina.kennedy8651]

Me too! Especially after I came crashing painfully out of crow pose! Good practice with acknowledging all the thoughts and quietly pushing them aside.

[@Hum8L3S3rv4nT]

Me too!! It didn’t help that I did yoga earlier today as well for my just random daily exercise and he did crow pose too! Definitely had to reel that one in from “NOT AGAIN!!!” To “ It’s all good, there’s a reason this is showing up so often today, just focus on your breathe Ness and it will come” lol. See ya 2morrow ✌🏽

[@marcelinha1978]

The same happened here today! I was about to write this down when I read your comment. But tomorrow is indeed a new day, and we will try again! =)

[@poppy4280]

For the first time today my down dog started to feel like a resting posture!! I'm so happy!

[@MrJeanGuru]

Ayyy, big milestone, keep it up!

[@Noya517]

My whole school class is in quarantine for two weeks and we are not even allowed to step outside, this every day practice literally keeps me alive, thank you Adriene!

[@patriciacurran2105]

How terrible for you!!! Sending you positive energy and know this will all end soon. I hope you share ‘Adriene’ with your classmates. I don’t think she realizes what a genuine gift she is to so many of us.

[@popculturephase2]

Since I'm seeing a lot of "I fell behind" comments, I figured I'd pop in and share where I'm at and how I've been approaching this 30 day yoga journey. This is my first time participating in a 30 day yoga journey of any kind, and so I'm doing my best to be gentle with myself and listen to what my body wants and needs, whether that be rest, yoga, a different sort of movement, etc. I used to have a daily practice, but I haven't in years, and so I'm treating this as a way to get myself back into a regular practice. Instead of committing myself to do each day of the journey consecutively, I've been doing each day as I feel ready for it while also being mindful of when my body is open to and up for a challenge. For example, at the beginning, I did three days in a row and then I believe I took three days off. Old me would have shamed myself to high heavens for doing that, but after so long of not moving, I needed the rest so that when I came back for day four, I could actually give it my all. Today, I just finished day 12 and I'm feeling better than ever. I've been doing each day as I feel like it, some days I've even been doing other of Adriene's sequences or other movement such as walking or a body workout with my partner. It's been slow and steady, but I hear that's how you win the race. So long story short, if you're behind on this yoga journey, know you're not alone and that you'll finish it at the exact time you're meant to.

[@liannekingma6624]

Same here, been doing yoga on and off for a few years, but I just finished day 11 and its january 31. Showing up and listening to what I need is the most amazing feeling ever❤ Lots of love for everyone who is doing this and taking their time for their own process

[@Michele-yz3mf]

I just came up with the idea that I will do the YWA practices every day; my modification is that I will do Day 12 for 2-3 days, then move onto Day 13. I decided this yesterday, as I want to extend my commitment >30 days, to 120 days. This way I can help my body gain the flexibility, respect what I can do and be gentle with myself when the poses move too fast for me. It will be a 'win/win'.

[@helenamondragon8817]

I’m in a very stressful time in my life with a lot of big changes (new job, moving country etc) and as someone with anxiety it’s really overwhelming. I’m so grateful for this yoga challenge, it brings me peace for at least 30min a day, and I try my best to bring that peace with me through the day. Thank you Adriene 💛

[@yogawithadriene]

Thank you for being here. 💛

[@georgiana4015]

Good luck, Helena! You'll get through this. :)

[@Roottorisehomestead]

I'm still playing catch up to get back on track on track with everyone else, so anyone else in the same boat, you are not alone! I did a leg and core workout yesterday and it was my first workout in a long time.... which means I was hurting for todays practice but theres nothing quite like a lovely yoga practice to get your up and moving those hurting tired muscles, I think this was exactly what I needed! Thank you Adriene, and thank you to those who are with me still chugging along to get our 30 days in!:) Namste

[@heidilarson5109]

I'm also behind. I don't know why but I like balancing practices. I'd chose that over day 6 core any day.

[@jammydoughnuts]

Thank you! I'm behind too as I've been exhausted from work. I'm going to do at least two a day to catchup! I really needed it after the week I've had.

[@ferrous719]

Migraine and company put me behind by almost a week, but it feels good to get back to it.

[@katejohnstone9262]

You are not alone, I’m doing day 12 on 22nd January! Enjoying this challenge so much, but it’s ok if it takes you more than 30 calendar days to do the 30 days.

[@maryamel-sheemy1816]

It's nice to know I'm not alone, thank you!

[@adriennefong551]

As a teacher trying to maintain my mental health during a challenging year, I find the YWA videos to be grounding. Thankfully I have the privilege of starting my day with YWA and all of you.

[@gingerlavelle3927]

Same!

[@michellemoschkau5949]

Thank you for all you do!!!

[@mrb0601]

[@kenchasaswann8277]

Same, but I use the practice to end my day.

[@julieharwood6552]

Same thing here! Hang in there fellow teachers!! Adrienne, you are us too!

[@missragsdale]

It's so strange - I love having this as part of my evening routine, and yet every single day I find myself wanting to quit halfway through, even though it's not physically too difficult. I don't know why I'm struggling, but I'm pushing through, because I want to fulfill the commitment I made to do this all month. Hopefully after this week I'll get over this mental laziness!!!

[@sonicsympson]

do you drink enough water?

[@skurbadurba]

the mind wants to quit well before the body does

[@sacrevie]

I have been loving the consistent length of the practices this month, it has made scheduling them a breeze.. Thank you Adriene

[@laurenward-brown8]

I missed two days due to busy schedule and not making the important time for myself during those days. Almost tried to be lazy today too but decided to honor myself and my dedication to starting this daily practice and show up today and I’m so glad I did. Thank you Adriene for this video.

[@TMoonCat23]

Wow, eagle! Thank you, Adriene. I was reflecting yesterday, I had only had 11 days of yoga and already I have noticeable changes in my body- flexibility, strength, balance and mobility. My arms look and feel stronger, the sides of my torso are noticeably stronger, my back and posture are stronger, my balance and strength in some of the flow sequences are getting better and my mystery running injury in my right knee that I've had for months is getting better bit by bit- I can bend that knee more & am regaining strength and flexibility there. This is incredible for 11 days. I am really loving this. First time I've done yoga every single day. I feel so great. Thank you, thank you!!

[@DimitrisChrrr]

In the poses that I struggled in today, I remembered Adriene's voice from a previous practice saying "If you fall, we'll catch you", and it really helped me alleviate stress and become grounded in the present moment.

[@Passiekassie]

Today was sooo rough but I finished it. I got a tiny bit discouraged around 15 minutes and took a minute or 2 break because the standing splits were way too hard for me but I jumped back in to do those eagle poses. It was hard. It was rough but I finished the practice for today.

[@frecklesforties]

I'm feeling the pain too 😘

[@ydijkstra]

Same here, proud we finished it anyway ☺️

[@Passiekassie]

@@ydijkstra Yes absolutely!

[@DrownedFrenger]

Same here, standing splits are okay for me but eagle, ouch, the flows were so fast, the hips rotations, I wanted to cry it was a tough one

[@BramptonGardener]

Standing splits are brutal at first, but I find its more mind over matter, your brain is just like, what the heck is happening! But it does get easier.

[@DimitrisChrrr]

It is an honor to share this practice with YOU, Adriene, Benji, and the whole YWA community ♥ I am so grateful!!!

[@Susomat1]

I feel so blessed to be able to do this every morning with such a wonderful community! ❤ I love you guys

[@mimiscoo1173]

Seeing other people comment inspired me to comment. I’ve been doing this since day 1 and I’m so proud of myself because consistency is something I’ve struggled with didn’t have the best guidance growing up so I’m learning literally everything as I go. Thank you for this Adrienne, I’m so grateful blessings to you and everyone else 💗

[@chloemariabaker9335]

I don't know if its just me but the timing of these daily practices always just seem so relevant to me, the topics, the words. It is as if its by magic, and magic is definitely what these practices are to me, I couldn't be without them. Thank you.

I love Benji as a teacher as I saw his offering to me. He's in such a relaxed state. Thank you Benji.

[@shellygenevievee]

Been off and on for the last few days but I’m proud of myself for showing up today!

[@gabiterihaj2974]

Gotta say, to anyone doing this for the first time - this 30-day program is way harder this year than last January's. Hang in there!! I've stuck with Adriene for a year (since last Jan) and this is even challenging for me!

[@hilltaylor18]

I agree! Grateful for the challenge. The strength I'm gaining in more core does something for me emotionally, makes me feel stout and unshakeable

[@Vardagaladhiel]

I’m here earlier than usual today as it’s my first day of freedom from my old job! I know it’s going to be weird as I have been doing the job for so long, but I am glad that I took control. I’m really starting to feel a difference in my body and I am so happy that I committed to my practice again!

[@kimcarpenter6897]

Day 12 done!!!!! And yes I had a pasta dinner as we celebrated my middle daughters 21st birthday!!!

[@Mikes-Mysteries]

Phew, this was fast paced for someone barely awake. It was hard to keep up but wonderfull feeling your efforts and peace in sukasana. Great job everybody 😎💪🙏

[@yogawithadriene]

Working that brain & body! Great job Michael!

[@luciesovova88]

Phew, also rather fast for someone just coming out of a tiring workday, i guess focus was really the challenge!

[@samv2936]

Yes, agree! I just kept up lol! Awake now!!

[@Felixlefae7]

I woke up with a really bad cold, sore throat and light headed and I felt really disappointed knowing I might have to skip a day of the challenge when my heart was set on 30 days. But my friend reminded me "the most important thing is showing up", so I got on the mat, did a little bit of the start of the routine, then when that got a bit too hard, sat and did my own gentle poses while Adriene did her thing and lay in corpse pose doing some breathing. My yoga today might have looked a lot more like Benji than Adriene but I'm glad I listened to my body and focused on finding what feels good. And I still showed up, so hopefully I can still tick it off my 30 day calendar! 😊

[@Earthjanet9087]

I love that I get to do this practice with so many of you around this beautiful planet!

[@ChiomaAgwuegbo]

Guess who's back!!! Loved the class today! It was intense and left me sweating but I feel great! So here's what I've learned: I think doing yoga as the last thing before I go to bed is great cos it helps me sleep deep, but that also means I might be exhausted and without much energy to get through the practice. Cos I did this practise immediately I woke up and I feel excellent. Day 12 done 100%! PS: I'm going to find time to do Day 11 sometime today... Was out all day yesterday and didn't get back till last midnight (probably another reason why I should get my practise in within an hour of waking up)

[@skurbadurba]

I have LOVED everyone single day of this journey so far. I have been part of the Yoga with Adrienne community for about 7 months already, doing yoga everyday has completely changed my life. But unfortunately everyone in my household came out positive to COVID, and I have to be strong and take care of them. I guess I will have to pause this MOVE journey and continue it on next week. I hope my mom gets better soon :’( IM ROOTING FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS DOING THIS JOURNEY TOO! Even if something that happens prevents you from doing a yoga practice, just feel great and meditate! (I recommend the Self Love meditation from ADDRIENE, I did it today instead of the Yoga practice, so I can take care of my little sister and mom, I don’t wanna leave them alone for too long) You can continue the journey after, at least that’s how I’m trying to look at it.

[@mollypeach5456]

When thinking about starting this journey I wondered if I’d be able to still complete the days where I come home from a 12 hour day shift - turns out I very much can, and it’s the perfect way to stretch out and relax after a busy day :) xx

[@sandramoores2092]

I am loving this journey. My dog and cat often come to join me on the mat and I have to roll out a second one! I think they are gathering all the positive energy! Thanks Adriene!

Aha so do mine and I often think it's because they pick up the positive energy. What a great idea to have that 2nd mat when it gets a little crowded 🤣🥰

[@Ravenousxrellik]

Like some other folks here I fell behind after day 11 but I'm happy to be back! Just remember for anyone feeling overwhelmed / wanting to catch up. It doesn't matter if you do it perfectly, as long as you do it ❤️ and listen to your body if you're pushing to catch up. If it says to do two videos at a time go for it! But if you get more out of the journey by doing it one video and one day at a time, you won't be alone in finishing the series a little late. There's a whole lot of us out here with you and I love seeing comments letting me know I'm not alone either. We got this! 🦾

Uff! Those fire-hydrant moves made me swear out loud a few times. But I stuck with it and the practice ended with the usual radiant self-congratulatory glow! Thank you, Adrienne! Yes, I'm on Day 12 still and it's nearly the end of the month but I'm going at my own pace! Xo

A lot of yoga, for me as a beginer, is about focus. On my body, my ming, my breath, my balance, my strenthg. Love the opportunity to practice this time with that concept even more evident to me. Lots of love from Brazil ❤

I put this yoga journey on pause on January 13, 2022. On that day I had a therapy client of mine pass away. I was the one who found my client's body. It was heartbreaking and grief has been heavy the last few days. I have been avoiding getting back on my mat because I knew I would fall apart. Within the first minute of practice today I was sobbing. I moved through this practice and did my best to stay focused. I want to be kind to myself and allow my feelings to come as they are. This is a safe space for me to do that. Thank you Adriene.

[@allisonw3336]

YWA Move is unlike other videos. Lots more focus on strengthening, sort of pilates thrown in. I trust Adrienne and have to say, my heart rate is getting up there and my legs are hurting like no other YWA series.

[@abbyc8340]

I just called myself a real yogi today because I survived standing on one bended leg with tangled leg and arms. I can't believe I am capable to do such poses. Thank you Adriene for showing me how strong my body is.

[@lutfahfirfirey917]

Day 12 complete! This was good. I was a bit wobbly but practice makes perfect 🧘‍♀️ 👍😊

[@Lucy-ve6lb]

My cat decide to join for this one, wandering around the mat while I was in downward dog! Made focus extra challenging but I feel calm and focused at the end of it. Thank you!

[@lieke4096]

My cat does the same. When I’m in the mat, she thinks it’s play time 😅

[@staceymckenna9053]

Your cat was saying “focus on me!” My kitty often does the same but today he was happily sleeping tucked in to a blanket on the couch.

[@amydunning1542]

My kitty yogi also made focusing hard today with plenty of face and ankle rubs but he also made practice a little sweeter so I’ll take it. 💕

[@pamelapoet9]

Mine, too! I kept thinking, Lots of kitty love in, lots of kitty love out.

[@LM-wo7qy]

My fifth or sixth time doing MOVE. I love this series. It ticks every box for me!

[@ivonnegamez6107]

I am loving all the comments! I too got off track due to covid and now I am on day 12! I want to do 2 sessions to catch up but like Adriene says find what feels good and if 2 sessions feel good I will do them but so far I have only have done one at a time and I am being kind to myself !

[@bayprkr526]

I'm in the Same boat as you, in the beginning of January I was sick and then a week later I broke my pinky toe and I'm just now on day 12 too and I've been trying to not get discouraged and tell myself I always have the February calendar, life happens. ❤

[@ivonnegamez6107]

Keep at Bailey, you show up for you! I AM CHEERING YOU ON FROM CALIFORNIA!

[@theinkdarksea]

Thrilled to be here on day 12 with all of you!

[@BeYourUniquePotential]

It is so wonderful to be joining everyone on this journey and the topic of Focus today could not be more timely. Thank you dear Adriene and Benji. Excited and totally you for it! 🥰

[@BeYourUniquePotential]

It is so interesting how when you take us through simple movements, emotions arise. I will come back to this one for sure. I hope everyone else had a good session. Going with the flow after this one. 🥰

[@hariputter6647]

Thank you Adrienne and team. Thank you my beloved supportive community out here. December 12 , 2024 and Day 12 under the belt. Loving this 30 Day Yoga Challenge!

[@tatianahernandez8241]

As someone else mentioned, the title of today's practice focus is what I felt I've lacked most of the day especially dealing with tension headache. But I showed up today & I'm glad I did. 🙂

[@nastaciacornelius5254]

forgot to comment under here that I ended up doing day 12 and 13 in one day and it was hard but i needed it. I needed to release a lot of emotion today 🙏🏽

[@TheSvvensson]

I’m doing this in the morning ( thus beeing a day later than everyone). In the evening I look forward to waking up and begin the day with this. Especially since we are working full time from our homes again.

[@inesivorraharrison2972]

I am 2 days behind. I started off following the videos daily and I was feeling very good about it. So when COVID hit our home a few days ago I felt a little frustrated… however, I’m back on the matt again, although I’m still struggling. I am so grateful for this series ❤️

[@angelerobichaud2586]

Today was an effort. An effort to come to the practice as my being was completely off. Yet I managed to complete the practice and I have to say I feel more balance, more complete now that I finished. Thank you Adrienne

[@dalekorba4251]

Turning the do not disturb function on this afternoon, I realized that it is now called Focus as I went to begin today's practice and realized today is called Focus. Sometimes the smallest connections are the nicest. Thanks youto Adriene and this most wonderful community.

[@davejanas948]

This morning before getting on my mat, I observed that I was feeling more comfortable in my body, and in my head and heart, already feeling the effects of this 30-day practice. I intend to continue with a daily practice after this annual gift is completed. Thank you, Adriene, Benji, Team YWA, and to this community, and you know what. Thank you to me too. ❤️. Namaste. ☮️.

[@amandairyqueen]

Loved the heat that I felt in this practice. I always feel so centered after visiting this online yoga school. So thankful for Adriene and this community.

[@YenHoang08]

I do this MOVE series with airpods on and every day I can hear Adriene's heart beat. funny that it somehow helps me to stay in the present moment. I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU!

[@lovebeanwellness5288]

I came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed her heartbeat! It is very soothing to me and cool to be reminded that she's another human with a heartbeat, just like me, doing something she's passionate about and sharing it with the world.

[@the2Pepita93]

There are times when getting on the mat is harder than others. There are times when a session feels endless. But there are times, like this one, when 24 minutes lasts a second and I'm transported into a bubble of peace that changes the flow of my day. It sounds silly, but yoga changes my life every day.

[@brittanysmith4071]

I'm noticing some new moves and loving them! The crocodile breath was an amazing tool to help me focus on my breath. That fish pose the other day was such a cool new perspective, too. Thank you Adriene! Thank you everyone.

[@gingerly_observed9870]

Today was a great personal win for me. I almost didn't show up. But I've promised myself that this year will be the year when I join AND finish January's yoga journey. I must admit, knowing that I won't be alone at the mat, that someone, maybe across the world will 'meet' me in a downward dog gave me the kick. I guess I didn't fully realize how, after past two years, I miss being in a community. Still working from home, barely able to meet friends as we are doing our best to be responsible & do our part by those small sacrifices, missing my family in another country. When Adriene said at the end of today's practice: 'notice how you feel' - I felt proud of myself to be on the mat 12th day in a row & I felt overwhelming gratitude for being able to join this loving, positive community. I'm quite surprised how moved (sic!) I am today. Wherever you are right now, whatever your struggles are, you are strong & not alone, we can do it, guys

[@XeniaM]

Another great practice! Can’t believe I did last year’s journey 1 month prenatal and now I am taking this journey while 3 months postnatal! Thanks Adriene 💕

[@rivapopmusic]

I'm so thankful for this practice, for Adriene a for each one of you who are doing this journey with me. I'm rooting for you, you all are great! 🤍

[@maryvaccaro6965]

I look forward to this time everyday when I come home from work. I felt like today was harder for me than the other days. So happy I have been able to show up everyday and helping myself get stronger. Thank you Adriene! I think you are amazing ✨🌟⭐️

[@nickoletallen3744]

Did you see Benji? His FOCUS was on you when you turned Adriene! He seems so aware...like a human, or...an Angel. My focus was a bit wobbly...not unusual for me. But by the end, when you said to focus on how we bring our hands together, I felt myself shift, gently, yet powerfully. My eyes were closed, and I was connected to every moment of movement...until the touching of finger tips to finger tips, then hand to hand. That never happened before. This journey feels really good. Thank you Adriene for making this for us, and lovingly guiding us to awaken to the awareness of our "one precious life."

[@eliskac2173]

That was so fast!😃 I'm caatching up so this was my second practice today already, and the *speed* Adriene put into it was surprising!😁🤍

[@alyrasmussen7874]

I can't believe how good this feels. Looking around, earth has to be a pretty cool place; we have free access to guidance through grounding movement. I am so incredibly grateful for this tonight.

[@brucepowell5146]

Minute 3:44...."...be honest...." this kept coming back to me thru the practice. Stunned by the simplicity of this. This is EVERYTHING! An amazing gift!!! This is now my mantra going forward. Its applicable at all times and in all things.

[@kimdiaz3184]

Wonderful practice today. Building strength and the longing to come to the mat every day. Had taken a break from yoga in caring for my father this past year and now with his passing the practice is healing my heart and soul. 🧡

[@christinastotts5915]

I’m proud of myself for doing every day of this 30 day yoga journey so far. This yoga journey has helped me relax after a long day at work as a tax professional assistant with a CPA. I have become happy, healthy, and stronger every day of the journey.

[@dyttocourtney2964]

My heart keeps thanking and thanking you! You're a blessing to me, Adriene! Thanks a bunch! ⚶🪐⚶

[@hilltaylor18]

I came to the mat unable to focus because my mind was clouded with thoughts of escape. My mind reads the menu of unhealthy coping mechanisms to itself over and over. I buckled down and focussed on my breath and found some serenity in this practice. I do not know how long it will last, but in the deep depression I've been in, a moment of freedom is a powerful spark to follow up and out of the hole. Thanks everyone for the positivity. "quit" is a guest that always arrives too early. Here's to not letting him in.

[@willowstyczinski4488]

I just started my third semester of college this week and yesterday one of my professors had us do an exercise where we each told the class about a non-school goal we have for the semester. I told the class that I started doing daily yoga about two weeks ago and my goal is to continue it. My professor got excited and asked if I had ever heard of YWA. I told her that's exactly what I'm doing! Evidently she's done the 30 day challenges for years and we accidently ate up several minutes of class time discussing it. It was a very random, but satisfying, thing to bond over.

[@soulsurvivorla]

I love this story! Thank you for sharing!

[@amberrhea5293]

Thankful for this program. It's February 12th and I'm on Day 12. Yesterday I got up at 3 a.m. to do my yoga before my dad's cancer surgery. I think these 20-30 minutes a day have really made a difference for me this month.
