I've been practicing yoga for a few years now. I can assure you that it will get easier with time once we welcome changes in our lives. My friends and acquaintances often ask me why I wake up early even on my days off, or why I practice yoga every day... I do all of this, but I have never forced myself to do it, both physically and mentally. Every day, I take a moment to notice my moods and emotions and allow them to flow as they are. I still have a long way to go, but I'm already grateful for everything that comes my way. I'm just sharing, because this channel and this community are incredibly important in all of this. Thank you✨

[@yogaontheroad-beginneryogis]

Thanks for sharing this 🙏 I can totally resonate with your outlook. My health and wellbeing is contributed to being guided by yoga and always striving to be the best version of myself.

I agree. Sometimes I might have an early flight or something I have to wait to complete my yoga and it throws off my day. I don’t feel myself until I have done my yoga.

Yes, I am “behind” too. We are right on time, thank you for that. It’s wild how this particular Welcome practice is just what I needed today. ❤

[@Emmezali]

I am doing this video today, and I conciously chose to take as much time between practices as feels right for me. In the beginning I was behind two days and knew I could catch up if I did two a day on the weekend, but then I asked myself: what for? So I can feel bad about it if I skip a day again? So I can rush through, not actually present with it and be done faster with this beautiful practice that helps me so much? If I don't catch up and accept being behind I get to enjoy this longer! I get to have a great experience that will motivate me to keep doing yoga! That's way more important than being "on track". I am so glad that I made that choice. ❤

Wanted to comment that even for people practicing this series delayed from real time, you truly are never alone. With each intentional inhale you take, someone else, somewhere in the world is drawing a breath at the same time you are (Probably even another yogi! Maybe even another yoga with Adriene yogi!). I had a hard time getting to the mat today, but as usual, it was worth it.

I try to be understanding with this but I struggle with attention and when this happens it totally takes me out of my head space and I sometimes have to start the whole practice over. I know this is a “me” problem but I just thought I’d share in case anyone feels like this too.

Day 14 on Valentine's Day

[@SLP425]

I cried through most of this practice today. Woke up feeling defeated by weight gain and feelings of unworthiness. I have multiple traumas throughout my life with one recently in the last year so I think my body is hanging onto the trauma. I usually stuff my true emotions down so noticing and even welcoming my negative emotions today was hard but also felt loving. I think I cried mainly because it felt like I haven’t had permission to fully experience my true feelings of deep shame and guilt. My inner child was the one who did the crying today. Actively working on reparenting and this yoga practice has been helping me tremendously.

[@anastassia2023]

Day 14 is ready, February 7th. A slow but steady movement. Love it. Keep flowing. Lots of love, Adriene and Benji and to all of us practicing together ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏

Day 14! How lovely to see Benji sharing space with Adriene during practice. My ‘yoga kitty’ accompanies me most days and loves the bits when I’m lying on the ground so she can get scritches 😍🫶

[@Kitties3eva]

When you asked us to look at Benji being in your space, it made me smile because my cat Oli was doing the exact same thing, pretending to be a pillow. Every time I do yoga, particularly when I lay down at the beginning and end, he comes and "participates," and it brings me joy

I'm 3 days behind, I am determined to catch up. If there is anybody in the same boat just know you are not alone. We can do this together.

[@majawanhainen5064]

I have always been behind previous years and then been a bit stressed about catching up, usually then thrown off by a cold or sth and then never finished . . . This year I decided to do yoga every day, but not stress if it is not FLOW but instead something short or a meditation even. It has really helped me to do this mindshift - now I do not feel "behind" it stressed and I know I will finish FLOW and continue a daily practise even beyond that!

[@justamom6499]

I am further behind than you but still trying. I keep telling myself that I'm doing more than I did in December and that's a good thing. Just do the best you can and you will get stronger. 😊

[@LavatoryAttendant]

I‘m also behind, did this video earlier today. But I’m proud of myself - my work schedule doesn’t always allow for daily practice and I’ve managed five times a week which still feels amazing and so much to me! For me, it works even a little better - upholding daily practice throughout the year seems unrealistic to me personally, but four of five times is absolutely doable!

[@trapismyname1553]

Im proud of you all . Great job 👏

[@abbieyoyo]

I’ve been behind before and often make myself catch up, but my intention I set for this practice was listening to my body so I can reconnect with it in a new way. Turns out I sprained my ankle on day 12 (unrelated to yoga) and when normally I would force myself to go to work and do the yoga to grind it out, I called out from work (I never do and have such a hard time doing so) and let my ankle rest, took care of it, and although it is still healing, just a few days of rest helped it heal so much. But even aside from my ankle, there was a day or two where I was just so tired after my obligations that my body was screaming for sleep and so I went to bed and skipped that night. Sometimes I will do one in the morning and one in the evening to catch up but also one thing I have learned is there is no one right way to do these. If you want to catch up that is completely fine! But there is also nothing wrong with being gentle with yourself and not forcing yourself to do something because you’re “supposed to”. everything has ebbs and flows ❤

Love this practice. My thoughts found myself laying peaceful on the beach, I could almost hear the waves and feel the warmth of the sun. In a month I am going to be going on my first flight, to my first trip to a sunny destination, in Cuba, at 54. I've had somewhat severe anxiety and panic my whole life and I'm hoping that with the breathing and taking my mind to a place of peace I can conquer this fear and anxiety and make this the most enjoyable, anxiety and stress free experience I could ever imagine. I've been on this yoga journey for 8 years and it's helped immensely, both mentally and physically. Thank you Adriene for all that do for each and every one of us ❤

1 week of energetic work focused yoga and I have lost 1kg mostly of my tummy for the first time in my life - of course it’s not about the weight loss, but I think there’s something to be said about stress and trauma and the physical manifestation of that, as well as deep work I’ve been doing outside of yoga. I am feeling more at home in my body, more flexible, strong and in tune with my inner world than ever before. Not to mention ton yoga feels so rejuvenating and juicy and a welcome opportunity to push myself through discomfort and come home to parts of myself I thought lost ❤❤ much love to everyone!

Hi there ❤ YWA community member since 2020. Felt moved to share today. It’s been 4 years. At times I was practicing every day. Sometimes I didn’t practice for weeks. But every time I came back, you all made me feel welcome. Sometimes I would just play the video and read the comments. Your stories made me feel seen, accepted and connected. With time I have cultivated a regular practice that might miss a day or two, but is absolutely a necessary part of my life. My time on the mat has become my safe space. My loved ones know if they see me here to let me be. More importantly when I see myself on the mat, I know that I have a container, a zone, a small but significant amount of space for myself, and I can take up every bit of it. I find myself craving the practice. What it does for my brain is better than any stimulant or medication. The peace and clarity. The gratitude. Anyway. Thank you all. With love.

And thanks to this wise and bright community! ❤❤❤

Today I welcomed my negative thoughts and energy at the start when we were asked how we're feeling. I've started my yoga journey since the pandemic but I practiced inconsistently. Not giving myself the grace and kindness Adriene has always freely given caused a buildup of negative thoughts constantly fueling my cycle of self hatred. I now welcome a change in how I think of and see myself. This journey has been difficult but I am grateful for it. I am also grateful to Adriene and this beautiful community for making yoga practices and leaving the mat feel like I've just been given a warm embrace.

Having had to send my dog to sleep last night I wasn't able to get on the yoga mat yesterday, but instead followed along with the breathing. But today I am so grateful to be able to join in this practice with the wonderful Adriene, the beautiful Benji and the fab yoga community, and know that my sweet angel Pepper is always with me, guiding me with her light

just home from seeing Dad off in an ambulance, on a 32 degree day in Melbourne. Thanks Adriene for a slow practice today, just what I needed 🧡

Good morning everyone, I strayed away for a few years from Adrienne, but here I am day 14 by the grace of God…

[@an0ana]

Sending you lots of love! God bless!

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Welcome back😊...happy to have you here💕🙏🏾

[@mariee.5912]

Benji makes feel happy. I miss my dog. Some day was toes licking others was sitting next to me. ❤ thank you for sharing your time, home and Benji.

[@JaneF-vr1jb]

Thank YOU for showing up for us, Adriene! And as for Sweet Benji… well, these yoga sessions simply would not be the same without him! His gentle presence really makes this time together feel right and good. ❤

[@crazycurls9095]

Good Morning! Thank you for another lovely, sweet practice. I enjoyed and needed both the practice this morning and the poem that accompanied it. Mornings often bring uninvited thoughts, worries, hurts, fears, to do lists etc. Let them flow through and release them. Today I flowed through the practice gently and kindly. My body is changing, adapting and expanding. Less tension. Same can be said for my brain- my inner monologue. Thank you Adriene and Benji for the poetry in motion:)

[@sweetmusicwoman984]

Benji is seriously the cutest good boy 😍

[@annmariehenderson5630]

I woke up feeling groggy and like my body was a bag of wet cement. My mind was racing with a million thoughts. Focusing on my breath enabled me to stop the swirling of thoughts, as well as to get my body in motion to feel lighter. This video might be one of my favorites ever. So many good little mantras - "be a good host", "sharing space", "you are not alone"...💕 Sure felt that shift in the energetic body today, both from the practice and these beautiful comments!

[@primor86]

I am so grateful for this journey and am starting to feel a shift. Thanks for spreading the magic ✨

[@roobcoffey6340]

I’m really enjoying these practices, they are just the right amount of time and still a challenge Thankyou

[@beckyfawcus]

Absolutely agree. This is my first year doing the daily challenge, and it feels so good. I’ve been practicing yoga for some years now, but I hadn’t discovered Adriene yet. I find this daily challenge is the perfect amount of time to be able to fit it in my everyday schedule easily, and challenging enough, nevertheless. And, if a certain day I feel like doing a little bit more, I just do another day or 2 more, so I can end up with 1 hour practice that day. I already have a couple favourites for core, if I feel more energetic, and I particularly enjoy day 11 to finish the practice. Very grateful to the good friend that recommended me the 30 days daily challenge. I’m trully enjoying it. Thank you Adriene, Benji and the rest of the community for your daily support! Namaste 🙏

[@Papalovesmango]

I’m so behind! But commenting to set my intention of daily yoga for the rest of the journey 🧘‍♀️

[@michaelluu915]

Looks like I'm further behind you, but we'll eventually get there. Take it at your own pace, glad to see you on this journey, and see you at the finish line!

[@LB-hw3lk]

Favorite day so far. Thank you Adriene for all of this ❤

[@Livingingratitude15]

Today was another beautiful practice! I feel myself getting stronger. So much to be grateful for! ❤

[@amandagom3z]

Today felt really delicious, and though the video was longer it felt like a blink. I saw somebody else mention mental shifts they’ve noticed now that we are hitting the 2 week mark and I wanted to share that I have noticed something similar :). My partner and I are working hard to commit to individual and mutual goals this year, and this 30 day challenge has been one of things we’ve committed to together. Can’t wait to solidify this as a daily habit. ❤ thank you Adrienne and everyone else who is participating!

[@natasham8076]

Ohhh this was such a delicious practice! The days with lots of yogic philosophy are my favourite :)

[@den15e]

"Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond" - thanks for sharing these beautiful words with us. This felt like a warm hug in a way, so grateful for this time 🥰

[@Happyfaceee11]

1 day "late" and im happy to see I was still practicing with another 2000 people! we are not late, we are right here💜

[@ilymarieortiz]

Day 14 ✅ I felt so much love in this practice, just beautiful. I don't have a Benji, but I have a Melly, a Chiqui, a Poppy and a PixieMonkey (all cats 🐱) that join me in my space everyday, everywhere. ❤😊 Namaste everyone! 🙏🥰

[@laurablankenship3567]

I practice "cats on mats" at my house, too! 😺😺

[@daisychain3]

One day I moved into a lunge and my cat (Leo) darted under my leg. ❤ Added a little boost of energy to my yoga practice!

[@Choc2120]

What a gorgeous practice. Today I had to be assertive in a tough conversation (which does not come naturally) and I found myself quietly telling myself ‘I am strong’. This yoga journey is doing so much for my life beyond what happens on the mat and I’m so grateful!

[@DeniseDeion]

This is my favourite yoga page. Just one thing to be mindful of. Most times I am listening to you and not watching. I’ll glance over. A few times you’ll verbally give a direction but it’s the opposite of what you’re doing. For example at 18:48 you said “float the left leg” but floated the right leg, then I eventually realized it was wrong. Happens to the best of us!

[@jessicaliatje]

Thank you for another beautiful practice

[@serinatatham994]

The perfect practise to wind down after work❤

[@elainemacey8151]

I've just finished it after work too!

[@alejarepinc8866]

I'm late again this year, but I'm so glad I'm sticking with this. Our elderly dog got really sick this week and didn't get better, so we ended up having to put him to sleep yesterday. He's been with us for 17 years, since I was 12. The stress of it completely wrecked my stomach and I took a few days to rest, but today decided to give this a try. The pace of this was perfect but the check in at the beginning was hard, I admit. I didn't really want to do it. And when you brought attention to Benji and how grateful you are to share space with him, that definitely made me cry again. But once again this practice was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
