Day 15 - Half Hour Half Moon Practice - 30 Days of Yoga

Also exhilarating... I felt so powerful knowing I made it through it... I will say that I need a block... gotta find one

[@julijakost2900]

When I have some difficulties, I repeat it next day (after 1.5 month I'm only on the day fifteen). Day 15 is more easier on a second day ;)

4 yrs ago I rolled out a towel and started the 30 days of yoga with Adriene. Today I finally did triangle pose without the assistance of a block. I struggled hard with half moon but now I understand what Adriene means when she says PLAY and ENJOY. It’s so incredible to feel and watch your progress. That’s YOGA! I’ve done the 30 days on and off for the past 4 yrs and can look back at that girl on her towel and give her a big hug for trying. My body is my home and Yoga has remodeled it. Thank you Adriene and friends! You inspire me every single day to keep on. ❤️

Wow...you give me hope

[@amandanieves6134]

I wish I could send you a gift basket or something, because I have noticed such a difference in my workouts, how I stand and walk, and just how I recover. Yoga with you has made me actually touch my body and notice the power underneath the chubby layers, and I don't punish myself for the way I look anymore. Yoga has such a wonderful balance where you can notice what you already have and that it's amazing, but it gently pushes you. This was such a great way to get back into working out, and you make my days so much better. I hope you read this, because I am seriously so so thankful. Thank you so much for making yoga fun and attainable for beginners. I wish you many more years of happiness and yoginess!

When Adriene said “or take a rest” I immediately went to downward facing dog before she said child’s pose and was so proud of myself for finding rest in downward dog. Thank you Adriene for guiding me on my journey!

[@ptwkate]

The half moon pose is for sure the hardest out of all that I did these 15 days... i wasn't able to keep balance nor stretch that far but it is a challenge and i will return to master it soon! Thanks Adriene I can totally feel the energy flowing with those breaths and I am starting to see a positive change in my body... Being a yogi rocks!

[@ednabunker1498]

When she said something like find a part that needs a little extra love today in forward fold my dog wandered up and got a lot of extra love lol

[@ritumeena3512]

To everyone who feels 'disappointed' because they found this practice hard or couldn't do it: It is OKAY! We tried. And we will continue to try! Sometimes trying is also a victory. Let's give ourselves a hug for that. Let's be kind towards ourselves. Sending hugs! Namaste.

[@patrickacolifloresvillasen1731]

Thank you for this.

[@niharikasodhi8304]

I'm an Indian and yoga is taught in school since such an early age. Yet it took somebody far away from the land of yoga to make me do it for 15 days straight and actually ENJOY it. I feel so beautiful doing it! Thank you Adriene, for the love and positivity you spread, and the comment section is so heartwarming

[@mitali1552]

Same :3

[@evaperez5625]

I doubt anyone actually cares and wants to read my dumb story, but if you do, cool. Welcome. So, I’m a tiny human. I look like a stick. Every other day of yoga I’ve done with Adrienne before was a breeze. The hardest part was getting myself to stop procrastinating and get onto the mat. From there, easy peasy! You want me to do the harder version of the pose, sure! But today was very difficult physically. I fell a lot and got REALLY frustrated. It gave me a taste of what I’m sure it feels like for some other people who aren’t as flexible as me to come back to the mat every day. It really put things in perspective. So if you struggle on the mat every day, and come back the next one, you’re strong enough to move mountains with your mind. (I dunno, it’s a dumb metaphor I just made up, leave me alone.) I hope you have a great day and come back for day 16. Because if you’ve made t this far, you might as well finish, eh? Namaste 🙏 🧘‍♀️ ❤️

[@execrationtext]

Totally not a dumb metaphor! Progress is progress, even for strugglers like you and me! 👍

[@susanmelton33]

😁❤

[@claresmith6563]

I am the total opposite of a stick, but I persevere and come to the mat everyday for my daily dose of yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️

[@b.ercoli561]

When you will find the first sentence of your post totally out of place, your journey will have reached a beautiful new place.

I used to be a stick and now I'm a little plump and now I'm doing the yoga dance and my body does better feels better. 👣 Stick my feet on the mat and do a dance. 😊

[@evanamauriz8984]

I made it to day 15! It's mid April and I started in January, but it's not about beating myself up for not doing a video a day. It's about enjoying the journey, going at my own pace, and accomplishing my goal regardless of how long it takes. Because in the end we're all just walking each other home. Much love! Thank you so much Adriene! Namaste

[@maggery]

Sometimes the toughest (but most important?) part of my new yoga practice is reaching the point where you're overwhelmed with the negative thoughts ("I'm too slow! I'm too inflexible! I'm too weak! I'm too fat!), breathing them out (with a few tears!) with strength, and moving on with hope (and maybe some humility? ;-P). Definitely reached that point today. I'll be coming back to this one.

[@leslieflynn7893]

My intention for this 30 day practice has been to trust the process. I could barely do moon pose but I see how much better my practice is getting in other ways. I trust that eventually I will conquer that half moon, but if not today, that's ok...listening to my body

[@riahka1357]

I actually did day 1 practise yesterday and I was surprised how much easier it was at this time! The process really works.

[@MarinaVieiraSouza]

Omg, this was the hardest practice yet for me. Fell so many times trying the half moon pose lol. But going strong! :)

[@tvlsdee]

Hey Adriene! I am a full time mom and im trying to lose this post pregnancy weight. Didnt know having small short term goals like this might be so fulfilling to me. I am on day 15 now and i cant believe how you made me so discipline and looking forward to roll out the mat every night. yes i do yoga when babe is asleep! and every time im done with yoga i thought to myself how good you must be feeling each day for making this thoughtful videos and help other people feel good about themselves. God Bless you Adriene! Power to the healing yoga

[@gekkii]

This was quite a workout at 10 pm lol, it was lovely though! Haven't skipped a day, loving this challenge!

[@blackrosetmv6039]

This was tough. I found myself becoming frustrated during half-moon because I wasn't able to balance at all, not even for a second. Yet, each time Adriene reminded me that this was a playtime, a time to explore your body and stretch it out, and I found myself slowly relaxing and pushing back that frustration. I may not be able to do half-moon right now but maybe one day I can with enough practice. The rest of the practice was enough to make me sweat haha but it was a good sweat. I feel accomplished and proud of myself for sticking through with the poses even as my thighs started shaking. I just want to say to anyone who may be doubting their strength that is ok to not be perfect. Every time you come back and do your best, whatever that may be, is a time you can grow. It is important to believe in yourself and know your worth no matter where you are in your journey.

I've been doing the 30 days of yoga now for 15 days , and I have not felt so moved to comment on any of the videos until now!! Today was amazing, and so far my favorite session, not only was I in a healthy sweat, but I discovered my body could do certain poses that I never thought it could!! The half moon pose pushed my body to its limits perfectly! When you said we are going into half moon pose, I was like hmmmmm Adriene you and your crazy poses, I'm just going to go into CHILD'S POSE hahah, but I was so relieved and happy to find that I could do it, maybe not for as long as you could hold it, but the push was great! I never thought I'd be the type of person to be into yoga, but here I am, and I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for posting, and if I ever visit Texas, I would love to take one of your classes live :D

I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! Full journey comment thread is on the Day 1 video:) [Day 15/30] - Day 15 - We're halfway through! So crazy, also sorry for not updating this when I did it yesterday, it was my dad's bday:) but this was definitely the most challenging one so far. A lot of balance required and I'm not afraid to say I literally toppled over in a few poses hehe. But it felt really good. Can't believe we've made it this far!

Adriene! Video after video you spend forever on one side and then rush through the other side and it's really stressful! Please try to make them more even!Also-- I would love to spend 2 minutes in shavasana listening to you breathe (reminding me to breeeaatthhheee) at the end of each video, instead of having to rush up and press pause and then try to get back into the zone of shavasana.I love your channel, I love your videos, I sing your praises literally everywhere. If you could improve on these two things I would be willing to pay for these videos.

[@johnmightymole2284]

I find the excercises very even although on the first position, ie. on first side, Adriene does indicate variations a person may wish to use but doesnt repeat them for the other side . Occasionally I pause or go back but mostly find I am able to fit with the timing in the videos. As you say the lessons are really excellent.

[@mishamehta5176]

A half hour of any other workout feels like it's going on forever but a half hour of yoga with Adrienne absolutely flies by! It shows how much I enjoy it. I've never made it to 15 days straight (actually more because I repeated some days that I really loved) on any exercise regime ever, so I'm so proud of myself and so happy that I can feel the benefits of yoga physically and mentally.

[@owlkisses]

I started this practice because my life felt a bit up in the air. I've done my 15 days in many locations; friends houses, my boyfriends bedroom as his friends paint the hallway outside, my moms basement and my tiny room I've rent for the summer in a city far away from everyone I love. In all the commotion this has been my constant. Thanks Adriene. ❤️

"If you fall, we will catch you." You've got "Time after Time" stuck in my head, Adriene! I just wanted to say, I've been watching your channel for about a year. Thank you for being part of one of the most physically, mentally, and emotionally transformative times in my life. I've realized that I'm not a confident person lacking motivation (like most of the world), I'm a motivated person lacking confidence. Working on that last part every day!

Thank you for being the lovely you that you are 😊😊😊

Day 15 of my second round of 30 days. I feel amazing. I see en enormous progress in my workout, my head, my mind, my body (muscles starting to show big time). Have been doing yoga with Adriene for three months now, and i am so grateful... And, actually, i have lost some weight (but besides practice, i've also changed my diet - no more junk food, no more sugar, cookies and other unhealthy stuff, and much less alcohol :D) So, to everyone that is seeking for health in any way - physically, mentally, i can only say - just stick with it, be patient, courageous to come to the mat everyday, grateful to be given the opportunity to practice. Be grateful that you are alive (seriously). Namaste and good luck!

[@nathanvienneau9422]

I started doing yoga about 9 months ago, nothing serious I just thought I would go to a class here and there to help regain some of that lost mobility. As time past I stopped going weekly and then pretty much altogether. I met this guy who teaches acro yoga along with some other classes and my interest rekindled. I did not however want to pay for classes that I may or may not go to on a regular basis. I did a little research and found your channel, I think it's one of the better youtube yoga channels out there. I have been following this 30 Days of Yoga and have reached the half way mark. I've missed three days but made those up by following two videos the next day along with any other supplementary yoga video that I feel will help my body. So far this has been a great experience and am planning on going much longer than 30 Days! Here's to Adriene!!!

[@lorianncomeau1946]

Adrienne you are a great instructor and motivator. You are full of energy with a wonderful sense of humour. I also love how you pinpoint the very key elements of the position I seem to need at the perfect time. Yoga is fun and relaxing with you. Namaste

[@taidee3232]

Though I couldn't complete my half moon for the full time, I am so happy I was able to do part of it and I can't wait to try it again. I reached muscle failure with this one which is why I fell out of my half moon, which means next time I try it, I will be stronger, until one day I will be able to stay in half moon for the amount of time required. Thank you Adriene for this gift you are lovingly gifting us! Your precious time and an awesome inspiring workout! You are amazing girl!

[@MissChiqui931]

Day 15! Halfway through! Today is a Saturday and I lighted some scented candles to change the mood in my room. I falled several times attempting half moon pose, but I finally managed to do it in my right side! It is a tough shape for me as my hips struggle supporting the weight of my legs when they are open and extended. I have to work on this pose. Namaste!!

[@infinitystar2723]

Day 15 and I'm reflecting on the challenge. What I'm aware of most is how this challenge has helped me not only to connect to myself but also to connect to a positive community of people around the world who are spending time being still and truly alive whilst the rest of the world seems to be rushing around doing and forgetting what it is to just be. So thank you everyone and thank you Adriene. Namaste.

Hey Adriene. I am only 11 years old. Love doing your yoga. I am a tomboy and used to usually spend my time outdoors. Like a lot. But since quarantine I can't see my friends or go play. So I got cranky a lot of times. So I decided to do yoga and calm myself. Then i got your videos, watched your blogs and decided start this challenge. Since then my mood has been awfully happy and calm. So love your videos. And also you.Thank you for this. Just a side note : Benji is really cute :]

The country I live in is in a mini COVID lockdown, so I started this this 30-day challenge on a whim to stay limber while I'm stuck in the apartment. When I sat up after practice today, I discovered that I can touch my toes for the first time in my life! I'm so looking forward to what the next 15 days of the challenge and beyond bring! Thank you so much for making yoga so enjoyable and approachable for newcomers like me. Cheers, Adriene!

[@krysteemorgan]

I love this series! Adriene, ya make me laugh at least once in each video. Fencing? Haha! Just when I am taking myself too seriously, you make me imagine myself as a fencer, which immediately takes the stress away . Anyways, just FYI, on this video, at 28:00, the editing cut off the left leg cradling. We cradled the right leg for almost a whole minute and then the left one for only like 8 seconds. Might want to fix that so you don't get trolled by critical people. I just paused the video and did it myself.

[@CaroleJM]

Krystee Morgan we noticed that too!

[@schricka]

I'm 8 weeks postpartum and have been doing your 30 days of yoga for about 3 weeks now (have had to take some breaks here and there) I feel amazing after doing this one today. I fully believe yoga is speeding up my recovery and putting me in a positive mindset. Thank you!

[@Chloe-mi5qd]

You're not alone! I have it too. But in yoga it's not about the pose but about the way we track to get there I guess :)

[@caro1591]

mildret plotka I suspect we've all been through that at some point. Just look upon it as room for growth & development. Keep practising and one day you'll nail it and find the biggest smile on your face ever. Yoga can be a slow journey for many of us. Stay mindful and enjoy the ride.

[@FemkevanDrooge]

I think this was the hardest yoga practice I have ever done! Not that I'm an expert by any means, but gosh my butt is gonna hurt tomorrow ;-) I hope that you've been better able to do the half moon since your post. I choose to remind myself that a hard practice session only means you still have so much to look forward to :-)

[@lisakilgore8504]

Mildret-you can do this pose against a wall (with support) and you are getting just as much benefit. It feels wonderful. This is a challenging pose. Don't give up and don't "worry" about using the wall, as my yoga teacher reminds us, it is a sign of intelligence to do so.

[@odysseypast1012]

Hey!! When I was on day 15 the same thing happened to me. After I finished the whole 30 days, I went back and I managed to do it swiftly and easily!!! You'll get there, time and patience is all we have and all time and patience has is us!

In one of your videos you mentioned putting a lil scented essential oil on your matt . Well I did that with lavender and a lil dap of lemon grass and guuuuurl! It is so fricking nice, such a plus!! 😻

[@MzBick]

I think you are just so great! I giggle the whole time. Love your little comments. Thanks for this. I have been posting this the whole way. I haven't missed a day! I am inspiring people because you are inspiring me. Thanks Adriene! Keep being the wonderful sweet light you are. Xo

I tried this routine (can we say routine about a yoga sequence? I'm not a native speaker so feel free to correct me) after a pretty though workout and I wasn't satisfied with it. I'm just done doing it for the second time and it felt much better. I still can't keep a half moon for more than three seconds, even with half of my (law school) books piled on the floor to help me, but at least it's better than this morning :). After all, I love 30 days of yoga because it "forces" me out of my confort zone... In a sweet way (Thank you Adriene!) Ps. One of Adriene's breath = five of mines. Am I the only one?

[@danielzarate309]

Thank you very much for what you do, what a beautiful soul you are !

[@prahajess]

Ohhhh the hip cramps! I can do the triangle, but even attempting the half moon gave me horrible cramps in both upper thighs! Booooo! Still, loving the 30-day challenge and I'm sweating now!

[@CAROLINAPARISLONDON]

Definitely challenging today but having fun!!! Merci Adriene!!!

[@chilicircus26]

Anyone else have a dog that wants to join in on the yoga? Mine is normally strange. A bit cat like because he only wants affection when he wants it. But when I do these videos he lays down and stares at me for at least half of it. Then when there's resting poses on the floor, he lays beside me for a few minutes.

[@alderandwilder]

that wonderful little embrace & circle your knees clockwise & anti-clockwise , feels so good on the lower spine I could do that for a whole hour .

[@raziel1687]

Most difficult one so far, tried using a box, but I still couldn't balance, had to hold on to my dresser's lower handles, otherwise I was going to fall over. lol

[@HopeGardner3amed]

I had to grab onto the bookshelf

[@TheCottonCandy707]

Lmao mood😂

[@legibitiqua2]

I showed up, I did what I could and that's enough for me. :) YWA has made me do more workouts this year than I have in the past 2.5. Thanks Adrienne ♥️👍🏾

[@cedricjones2625]

So kind.

[@leah492]

Balance posters are so humbling! I love half moon!

[@Jessicax3lyonnss]

I'm a dancer and I found the half moon pose so challenging! I do struggle with weakness in my ankles (thanks to my flat feet) so I sway back and forth a lot and tend to really put strain on my inner thigh muscles to keep me in place. Any advice for those of us weak ankled yogis?

[@ThetaMoon]

honestly what helped me was that i would stand on one leg, holding the other leg close to my chest, and i would stand like that for 5 minutes per side, and also important not to lock your knees while doing it.. and that has helped me balance and build strength!

[@Jessicax3lyonnss]

Rinka Essel Yoga & Lifestyle Thanks for the tip! I'll try that--I was definitely locking my knee so that could have been a big factor I didn't think of.

[@TheGayceatron]

Jes Lyons I started dance as an adult who already had weak ankles so I really had to work hard to gain enough strength, especially for pointe. I do heel raises while I brush my teeth every day (knee unlocked, of course) and it has made a huge difference. I now have some of the better rises in my class. And Bonus: i actually have the patience to brush my teeth properly! Good things all around! :)

[@justforrfunnn]

Lacey Thiessen your post made my day xD practice makes perfect!

[@lonewarrior250]

Jes Lyons I've had weak ankles for a long time; but, since I started doing Yoga it has improved them substantially. I had a severe injury to my right ankle and never really finish physical therapy on it; so, it has been a real challenge. I've stayed at it though, hopefully you will as well.

[@achirante]

This is great. I love how the body learns how to do things at an unconscious level, much before the mind realizes it. Thanks Adriene you rock!

[@TheKlarulle]

My balance is usually pretty good, but damn I can't do the half moon pose for the world. I need to work on that one and not let the failure get to me.

[@rosar5494]

Clair same here. we can do it!

[@lindah4137]

Wonderful Day 15 ... the most challenged I have felt yet in this 30 day workout ... and it felt so good! Thank you Adriene for making it fun too

[@theintensegamer178]

When I did the half moon, my foot that stuck out started to warm up, I thought it was just warm air from my PC even though I had turned it off, but no it wasn't. Also after I felt kinda emotional.

[@Cate512]

I'm sure looked like a wobbly noodle doing half moon but I feel amazing! I suppose that is what matters much more than anything else! It's been fun meeting up with everyday! It's like a play date with a friend everyday! Revived and refreshed to start my day! Thank you!
