Day 4 - Flow | MOVE - A 30 Day Yoga Journey

[@phoebe790]

reading everyone’s comments after class always has me on the verge of tears, what a beautifully supportive and dedicated community we’ve built here. thank you, dear reader, for being. just as you are. thank you for showing up today. i’m forever grateful for this lineage and all the mindful souls that observe it.

[@johannafrog2684]

thank you, for sharing these wonderful words!

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Thank you for writing this message. You're sweet. I agree. After I just finished this session (I'm glad I showed up as that was the tricky part for me today), I started reading people's posts. The people are kind, gentle, and honest. Such a lovely community.

[@OLIVE_ARROW1969]

Agreed. 180* from other comment sections on KZbin videos.

[@begonaf1474]

I agree totally. I always read the lovely, kind comments that everyone posts and feel so blessed that Adriene has brought us all together, albeit virtually, with her yoga sessions and sweet and kind nature. Thank you, Adriene, for sharing your time and energy with us and for all your personal, little comments during each session which I find so uplifting. 🌹😊

[@linauniversum]

Very beautifully said! Thank you 🙏 ❤️

It took me 23 days to get to day 4 because of getting really depressed, and then getting sick. Anyway, I'm here now, and I'm so glad I had the courage to MOVE with all of u today.

Thank you for sharing this. I also got through to day 3 and had to stop for two weeks due to covid and I am so demotivated to go back and show up for myself and this, your comment, gave me strength. I am proud of you. So much love to you, Adriene and everyone here.

After we stopped halfway and practiced moving with the breath my whole mindset and practice changed. I felt stronger, looser, and just more intuned to my body and mind and spirit. I was smiling and naturally moving in a child like way. Loved this practice.

Yess exactly!!

[@Melissa-xh2jg]

I loved that part too, did something similar to me :)

[@simone8495]

Same here! Something completely changed. Before the breath work I was genuinely thinking that maybe I’m not meant to do this. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t easy after. I’m still heavy and I still needed to modify but I was able to breathe through the rest of the practice and “flow”. I’m so glad that I had that moment as otherwise I was thinking that I’m not sure this is for me anymore (from someone who practiced daily for years and then went off the radar).

Im a few days behind but I know Adrienne would rather us just pick up where we left off than quit that momentum. For anyone that will have to miss a day or two inbetween I encourage you too to do the 30 days however you can and just try your best to show up.

If there is anyone reading this that may be struggling some- remember that if you fall, it’s ok, just get back up and if you stumble, regain your balance and continue on. We are all different and move at different paces. Be proud of yourself that you make it to the mat each day and never give up. You’ll grow stronger each day, you’ve got this!🧘‍♀️❤️

[@TaunellE]

Thank you, friend! You too!

[@christinayocca871]

Yes, I am getting better at these lunges that move into arms up. Adrienne's directions and the last series have helped. Bunions and big toe joint arthritis makes it more difficult. I use a rolled up towel to soften the impact on that joint and I reposition as necessary to make it work. Thinking about moving thighs together and concentrating on the center has been so helpful.

[@isabellejuliaa9868]

That "simple" breathing sequence with the arm movements was fantastic. Especially when followed by the typical flow sequence. It was truly a transformative experience in my yoga practice. Thank you!

[@morethanme23]

Exactly! I've been practising with Adriene for some years now, but somehow, this sequence followed by the typical flow made me realize/feel something I didn't really get before. A deeper understanding

[@heatherphillips7854]

I agree with you both. It was a great breathing sequence and flow, something clicked for me in regards to the breathe with each movement. ❤

[@TheYouy89]

I laughed so hard at myself when we were doing the vinyasa with the lifted leg because I just face planted on my mat. If I were practicing alone or in a class I would have been mortified, but hearing your encouraging words always help me remember that it's not about perfection, it's about finding what feels good. Thank you, Adriene.

[@peppernine6702]

Honestly, the amount of times I've fallen in class and in studio has made yoga so much fun for me. I've fallen out of nearly every pose It doesnt have to be perfect sculpted movements, all it has to be is you! And since I'm clumsy in real life too, it seems perfect to bring that on the mat as well. Sometimes its all about getting back up and back into it :)

It's been months since my last little yogasession, before starting MOVE in January. It is truly amazing, the impact yoga, Benji and Adriene's loving, guiding voice has on the body, mental space and even my sense of self. I have been practicing yoga on and off for years, with Adriene and Benji by my side in my livingroom, bedroom, and even at uni when I have a spare time in my room there. I have tried many other yogainstructors here on youtube, and even though it has been fun, I always come back to YWA. It feels like home after so many years. Even my 7 year old son loves to join me on the mat from time to time. SO grateful for all the work you put into making these videos for all of us! Thank you

Like many others I am also very late to this practice, but it doesn't even feel like I'm playing the "better late than never" care, because Im HERE regardless. This practice felt a lot faster than others I've done with Adriene, but like many others have also commented, it was SO ENERGIZING by the end. I really appreciated this as a little check in to move WITH my breath, not try and forcefully match my breathing to what is happening in life. See y'all tomorrow.

Fourth day of yoga ever in my life, done! I quite enjoyed that little "pattern" there. It was starting to feel quite natural by the end, almost like a little dance. Thanks, Adriene (and Benji, of course!). Bring on day five.

[@kimskott1804]

I don't know why, but the MOVE theme really scared me and woke all my anxieties about not being able to "keep up". Even after doing YWA since autumn 2018, and every day twice since the pandemic started, I felt so ill-prepared. And then, today, something happened with that gentle flow of the arms and applying the conscious breath to that last round of the warior sequence. I felt at peace. And then I sat on my mat, grateful for everything in my life, the good that helped me and the bad I learned from. So, first comment ever. It seems liked the right time tonight. Thank you, Adriene, for your gift of yoga, of gentle challenge and teaching with an open heart and a smile, for all that lightness and depth and for the tremendous wealth of self-care and community you bring to us. Words can't express how much you move so many lives.

Today is my birthday, and I spent the "time change" moments here with Adriene. I've started these videos quite late, but they are helping me get through a difficult time. I lost my father last month after two years of taking care of him, and now I am starting to renew my body after neglecting it for so long. I hope to honor my Dad by beginning to renew my life.

[@whereintheworldarewenow4456]

Firstly - yes I can feel my core muscles are awake, after yesterday's practice! Really love the silent parts where we can just hear Adriene breathing and follow the sequence in silence.

day 4 - i started this challenge pretty late. im 17 years old, about to turn 18 in a couple weeks, and only last week did i have some of my worst days. i skipped school and stayed in bed for 5 days straight, barely eating anything and just feeling over all sad, empty and hopeless. on friday this channel got recommended to me, and i made a promise to myself to start this journey the next day, a promise i actually kept. day 1 was pretty ok, day 2 was awful, but both days 3 & 4 have been absolutely amazing for me and now im constantly looking forward to the next day. i still have a long way to go with my mental health but i feel like starting this journey is going to give me such a good start. my goal for 2022 is to focus on self care and to do things that make me happy ! also i just wanted to say im beyond proud of every single person who’s also on this journey

[@sarahgilbert3474]

When Adrienne mentioned the romantic relationship with your flow I had a literal epiphany, I’ve been on my yoga journey for almost two years now and I began to notice that I prefer ‘flow’ yoga practices and never thought why as most of the time is more cardio like intensive, yet when Adrienne described the romanticism of flow yoga I resonated with this concept deeply as this form of practice is almost like dancing whereby I’m more focused on the ‘choreography’ and my breath, rather in other forms like day 3 I am more focused on the sensations in my body and find it far more difficult, probably because of the emotions I store in my body ! Going forward I will now put more effort into ‘romanticising ’ more of my practices. Thank you Adrienne for this beautiful thought and Thank You to this community for reminding me everyday that we are all in this together !

We did day 4 y'all! I really love how encouraging Adriene is. No matter how recently I collapsed in a heap she always tells me I'm doing great. Sometimes she makes me laugh too.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’ve come back to “the yoga mat” after struggling through very mournful events of my life (lost my beloved dad from Covid) and having no more will to life …. It’s challenging and beautiful feeling my muscles stronger every day and my will to life, a little stronger too. I split every practice in segments of 5/10 minutes each because my muscles can’t manage to make it all directly to the end (because I suffer from a chronic neuromuscular disease); yet each day I resist a little longer 😌 Thank you so very very much Adriene for all you do 🤗 Sorry for my English (it’s not my language) CIAOOOO ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@gloriatoro5196]

I also lost my dad to COVID, while I was working in a hospital on a designated COVID unit. Grief triggered a flare-up of my chronic fibromyalgia and my doctor also suspected the early signs of lupus. I could hardly walk as the pain in my body and the inflammation increased with every passing day. But here we are, and please believe we are healing. Most importantly, know that we are not alone. My heart goes to you. Keep it up!

I am moving towards forgiving myself and not being too hard on myself whenever I mess up. Today was hard. Started doing this in the morning but I was so out of sync and couldn't go past 5 minutes into the practice. I felt bad coz I promised myself to stick with this till day 30 and didn't know if I would have any energy left at the end of the day. Came home quick and changed for take 2. Just completed this after work and wow!!! Today's practice has been the smoothest and most relaxing.

[@AnnaBakerActress]

Trust the process, you got this! Another yoga teacher told me that your daily practice invoves getting out your mat and standing on it. If you do anything else that's great, it's always about the journey not getting the perfect shapes or keping up with someone else. And you did it twice today that's really bringing it💚

I'm a teacher and today is our first day back after winter break for a training day. I did not want to get out of bed; it was nice and warm under the blankets and cold out of them! Maybe I can do the routine when I get home in the evening, I thought... but no, I decided to go ahead and do it and I am glad I did. I feel more focused and think I will be better able to flow with whatever the day brings me. Still some low back/hip pain, so I had to be careful when transitioning from down dog to the lunge, and a few I modified, which was a little frustrating for me since I used to be able to swing my legs up no problem. But it's a process, trying to be kind to myself. Have a great day y'all, great job showing up!

[@leannetester6334]

I hope your first day back wasn't too bad. I teach too but down in the Southern Hemisphere we're still on our summer break.

[@tomsuit5952]

I can write something like I was unable to discipline or motivate myself after 4/5 days last year, but this year after a 108 Vinyasa in December, I feel more confident and yoga become a meaningful practice of awareness. I thought about my parents who become depressed and alcoolic with several cardias issues since the age around 40. And during this 108 Vinyasa I thought about how Running, yoga and others physical practices can help me to get through the fear of become unable to move and hope for the Future like my parents. My thought was like this : since I continue to practice, to move, to daily create movements, I can trust the process and create my own path. I’m not religious but spiritual and for me it seems like an act of faith : we don’t know what a practice can bring us, but we have to move forward. I love that the theme of this 30 Days is Move. Namaste Adrienne!

Good Morning! To everyone that wants to do the challenge earlier: You can buy the course (donation based and therefore affordable). I did it this morning because I won’t be able to make it when the video uploads during the next days. I think many people missed out on this so I hope this helps. I’ll still come here to write and read comments to get the feeling of doing MOVE together. Hope you all have a wonderful day! 🌞

I love when during the practice there is a movement that my body CRAVES so much that I decide to listen and go into it even if it seems that Adriene has a different thing planned for me. And then as if she noticed, Adriene herself goes to follow my movement, and here we are together, in child's pose, or an extra twist, or restful breath in a self-hug. And I think this is the most awesome moment ever.

How incredibly blessed I feel that my favorite yoga instructor is also such a generous spirit! Thank you, Adriene, for your videos. I did random ones sporadically through the pandemic, but this is my first time doing a 30 day challenge. On day 2, I felt pretty rough, but ever since, I've felt stronger and more in touch with my own body and process. Part of the reason that is happening, instead of my usual self-flagellation, is your openness to modifying, being gentle with oneself, and the way you explain things in the context of the bigger picture. That makes it harder for negativity to take hold, because there are constant reminders throughout your instruction that remind me to re-focus. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts!!

I've been doing yoga for 12 years, and finally in the last year have developed a consistent practice out of absolute necessity Your videos are the best I've found, and your energy helps to bring me into the present. You do an incredible job of speaking from the heart and creating a space for healing in our minds and bodies. I am terminally ill and my body causes me so much pain daily, that even at my most mentally grounded, I struggle to not let my symptoms tear me away from the now. Your videos help with both the physical pain and the mental pain. Thank you for making this incredible practice so accessible. There are so many people who would not be able to explore this part of themselves and their relationship with their breath if not for your videos.

Feeling really under the weather today and had a day full stress and questioning. It's days like today that I would usually choose to skip yoga because I "don't have time" or "don't feel like it" but I am so grateful that this 30 day yoga journey encourages me to take time on the mat for myself. Even if I have to take more breaks than usual or don't have quite as energetic of a practice, I am still here and I feel much better now because of it.

This one was difficult for me and often I felt like I was trying to play catch up... but then I realized that I'm supposed to move at my breath and find my own flow.... that was kind of a profound revelation to come up with... that even if I'm not where everyone else is, I can get there at my own pace, that I should be present and patient with my own flow...thank you for the lesson.
