A little bit of love goes a long way. Thank you all for the kindness and support you bring to these comments each day, where you don’t question it, you often reveal and share so openly, with vulnerability but also with utmost kindness and compassion for it there. Thank you. Have a beautiful day 16!! It’s a sweet one indeed. xx Adriene

[@christinarave]

Truly wonderful. Thank you Adriene for creating this incredible community. We love you ❤️

thank you for this wonderful series, and your generosity in offering it to us Adriene

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Absolutely amazing! Thank youuuu!!!.... For your kindness and amazing support to us all. ❤️❤️🌺🌺🌷🌷💝😘😘. You Rock!!

[@mollysutton5097]

All of those of us who are behind: I see you, and we've got this! I checked, and I was still practicing with over 100 people! We're still in this together

[@chelsea747]

❤❤❤

[@marimalk1]

Yes❤

[@MB-vj6vb]

Yeah, traveled & couldn’t get on my mat.... continuing the journey ❤

[@haileyrose5565]

I usually start halfway through January and just do about 4 per week and it's still an awesome experience! This year I work 40 hours a week and have a 1 and 2 year old 🫠 so 4 days a week is enough for me and I'm so happy to do it!

[@martawesolowska3137]

I am as well behind, trying to do a practice when my schedule allows - I am thankful for this journey ❤

[@electriceeel]

Little round of applause to all of us for showing up every day. We’re halfway there! Every practice brings me a little more strength and comfort ❤

[@yogaontheroad-beginneryogis]

Absolutely...so commendable and inspiring to be part of such a strong and devoted community ❤️

👏🏾👏🏾💕

[@aztecalexys]

An excited journey and experience thus far.

[@QueenJaneway]

I just must say that the 20 minute-ish rule in this journey helps SO MUCH. I really feel like I can do ever day!

[@carole8312]

Well said! 20 minutes makes it doable, accessible, and therefore enjoyable. Well done everyone!

[@braindead514]

And easier for consistency too - I can do it in the same “time block” daily

[@karenchaudesigns]

Same! Even when I don’t feel like doing it, it’s easy to convince myself to do it since it’s not a huge time commitment. See you all tomorrow!

[@quietspace9683]

Oh, yes, this has been a big help for me to stay consistent especially during the work week. Huge, huge help.

[@sandymcg3]

And I really notice the truth in “a little goes a long way”, one of Adriene’s mantras

[@littleonepaige]

feels so good to see so many other people in the comments who are still going through the journey at a slow pace like me. I’m determined to do all 30 days, no matter how long it takes me. love to all of you still in it ❤

[@avabenvenutti6812]

im with you!

[@Raphah_Raysa]

To the person reading this, I hope you know that you are loved. I hope you also know that the person who wrote this, loves you. I’m so proud of you, proud of us. Let’s continue spreading kindness to ourselves and to those around us. We are incredible, Day 16. Look at us go! Until tomorrow ♥️

[@ztebazile]

[@sarahlawton1490]

Thank you 💕

[@sissysalander6150]

Not hard to show up, you are making it so easy. You’ve surpassed yourself with this series, it’s so beautiful to see your evolution, you seem more grounded and certain in your teaching style than ever before. Thank you thank you ❤

[@yogaontheroad-beginneryogis]

I love this and it speaks volumes about how long you have been practising with Adrienne for! ❤

[@valentinavali8328]

I totally agree with you

[@yogawithadriene]

Thank you my dear friend. It means the world. ✨ you are my teacher in return! It’s a beautiful thing, yoga.

[@kateschnieders6425]

Wow! Just having some of the same thoughts… ‘is it possible that Adriene has grown even more beautiful inside and out?!’ The answer, yes, yes it is! Thank you Adriene, I’m proudly at 3+ years of yoga every day and my life has been enriched by your generosity. Namaste❤

[@monicaplatten1816]

We're still at it friends! 130 people and myself just gave ourselves 20 minutes of kindness. 😊 It's never too late to join in on the mat. And we're never alone, no matter how lonely we may sometimes feel. Lots of love 💛

[@danieljames4_]

And just like that, we have now passed the halfway mark of the Flow journey! I am *_absolutely_* looking forward to the remainder of this journey and amazed on how far I and we have come. Until then, namaste Adriene, Benji, and fellow *_kind_* loving yogis and yoginis! 😁💕

[@SupercarAlex150]

ok.

[@michellemichaell]

Simply quite amazing! Yay to all of us 😁💕

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

🎉🌺💞 to us all.👏🏾🙏🏾

[@stephaniewilson8706]

This might be long. Every year for a decade now I’ve done this challenge. Sometimes I’ve only managed 2/3 days before quitting, sometimes I’ve finished it. Sometimes I do yoga consistently for a month or two throughout the year and sometimes I do nothing for months at a time until my back issues tell me it’s been too long. This time around I’m feeling something different. I don’t know if it’s that your teaching continues to evolve each year, or if I’ve matured, or what it is. But for the first time in my life after a decade of on and off yoga, I’m finally feeling like I’m in my body, noticing things, understanding how to do the simple act of breathing to my advantage. It sounds so basic but I’m super emotional this morning at the fact that even after 10 years I still get so much out of this challenge. I think it’s easy to wonder “after 10 years of 30 day challenges, what more is there to say/teach/learn?” The answer is so, so much! I’ve never done or seen a horizon lunge before today. It was awesome to try something new but approachable. I’ve never held a low plank (or honestly even a normal plank) for as long as you and today through utilising the breath, I did it despite almost giving up at least twice. I surprised myself. Thank you, Adriene, for giving so much to the rest of us. You are awesome ❤

[@leomickelssonoren657]

Love and Kindness is the essence of Adrienes channel. We all learn and become reminded daily. Good deeds make good people and a better planet. The January blues has been replaced by Adriene who rocks us all every year.

[@ayannaevans238]

You are so right. No January Blues but Love and Kindness is a much needed replacement

[@yogawithadriene]

Aw thank you my sweet friend. This kindness is so appreciated. ✨♥️

[@unnnicorn]

Adriene says Kindness and here it is - that little kind elbow plank. I think i laught - inside, because i had to focus and keep myself together 😉 You are an Angel, Adriene 🤍 thank you 🙏 Lots of Love out 🤍 ...the hardest part is to show up... and today is 6th of february, but here i am, chasing the wave 🦭

[@Spicyfritatta788]

Just got into it again after a longer than intended hiatus, and just wanted to say thank you adriene and for anyone feeling like you can’t get into it after a pause, you absolutely can and it will feel so so good!

[@anastassia2023]

Thank you and lots of love to all of us practicing people ❤❤❤Namaste everyone 🙏

[@rebeccabrown1727]

Was nice to practice with everyone today! Hope you all have a lovely day filled with kindness :) Thankyou Adriene!

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

And you too.

[@anastassia2023]

Day 16, February 9th. Flowing with kindness. Thanks and lots of love to Adriene and Benji, and all the people practicing ❤❤❤

[@kathrynmeyer9344]

This practice was definitely pure loving kindness for my body, heart, mind, and soul. Thank you Adrienne. ❤️

[@onbribu]

So much love in these comments, so I thought to share some too. Day 16, Feb16. One month later but it doesn't matter. I'm proud I'm showing up for myself. First time doing yoga for 16 days in a row. Thanks for making me show up

[@anastassia2023]

Keep flowing how it is uncovering something new each time. Thanks and lots of love to Adriene and sweet Benji and all practicing people ❤❤❤Namaste

[@racheldaley115]

such a fitting practice for valentines day. sending love and kindness to everyone here to embrace their own pace and practice self love and acceptance

[@diegotravers]

Thank you Adriene for your kindness and sweet ways. You are incredible. And sweet Benji too!

[@melissaellish]

What a lovely practice for my 1400th day of yoga. Grateful for the 2,820 souls who practiced along with me. And thankful to Adriene for the love and kindness she emanates around the world. Wishing everyone a wonderful and peaceful day! Namaste and much love from freezing NYC!🙏🤍

[@Sammiejean18]

Love and kindness throughout the rest of your day! 🥰

[@tiaackley6269]

We've made it this far! We can keep going. Today was a nice one and I enjoyed the poses. Glad to be here with all the kind people ❤

[@sandrinegagne2223]

This practice was the perfect return session after a long, hard cold. I will finish the flow journey! 😊

[@trapismyname1553]

One Day to Go before I'm all caught up who's with me?

[@MrPinky309]

With you!

[@MsSima92]

Day 16 on February 16th. My 30 days off yoga hopefully in 60 days. I'm really happy I'm going at my own pace and not putting pressure on myself if I miss a day. Thank you Adriene!

[@olivemoi9245]

I choose to move through space with kindness🫶✌️🧘‍♀️🙏

[@araan3]

Today was hard for me, but that's ok. It happens. Thank you for the practice

[@user-rh4de9vt3s]

I’ve never done any program for 16 days in a row. Love Adriene! Life changing … just what I needed.

[@BoredSH]

Sometimes I find it hard to actually focus on my breath, but it's so rewarding to try and do it no matter how good I am at this. Thank you!

[@yogawithadriene]

Amén. This is yoga. Beautiful!!!!

[@monamange2993]

Adriene, Richard Rohr a mystic Catholic priest, today quoted the same poem you quoted from Rumi. I love Rumi and his twirling and visited his hometown. That is a sign of wisdom in my opinion which is great for a younger person like you. More power to Yoga with Adriene.

[@rosaliejohnson6491]

Thankyou once again Adriene - I am enjoying this 30 days so very very much.

[@amata87]

Day 16 - Most definitely sweet.❤ This was the day I cried. At the end of the practice when doing the sidestretches I was faced towards the TV. My eyes were open and I saw Adriene petting Benji so gently. And that was it; tears flowed. Not been kind to myself lately, and most perticularly to my belly... so when we closed the practice by touching the belly I cried some more. But these were not sad tears, not really. I just got reminded to be more kind. PS: Missy 🐈‍⬛ even joined the whole thing! And she is very interested in Benji ❤

[@VerryNoo]

Thank you darling woman , really enjoying this program . I’m a few days behind as I’ve had to miss a few mornings, yet I’m chugging along …..so grateful to you ….beautiful seeing how you e evolved over the years ….thank you for sharing this practice 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘🙏🩷✨

[@LizGfromMinne]

A Love Note to Adriene & Benji: I’ve been waking much too early, but practicing with you keeps me from being surly. I see your tender gestures and feel your smiles in my soul, your levity brings me happiness, I’m so grateful you’re in your roles! Thank you too for the reminder, we can always practice being kinder. YWA FTW! 😊

[@yogawithadriene]

How wonderful and received with so much love! To our practice that we share! Hooray!

[@user-qx7kd5mo3i]

I understand the bit about waking up too early, but this is an excellent way to fill those early morning hours. I spent years with insomnia that have finally started to lift; I understand the struggle. You are not alone, even at 4:00 in the morning. Be kind to yourself.

[@cleliastevens278]

I'm way behind but still sticking with it!

[@MsKatykins]

Good morning everyone. It's wonderful to see a practice entitled "Kindness"; something I feel we should all embrace and share more of together. Let's dp this! 😊 Namaste.

[@yogaontheroad-beginneryogis]

You're right! Learning the art of kindness sprinkles out and around us so much more when we adopt loving kindness to ourselves first 🙏

[@isobelandrews6588]

It's becoming a tradition for me that January ends up being the month where I feel the strongest because of the 30-day journey. This one is lovely so far, thank you Adriene.

[@den15e]

I needed this to show kindness to myself, things lately have felt like they are all over the place and have been easily overwhelming me. I also had planned to catch up on the missed sessions last week but it did not happen...and now I feel that's okay. I am excited to see where this journey takes me ❤ Hello to anyone who's on day 16 🤗

[@nickoletallen3744]

It sometimes takes being a humble warrior to champion kindness, but it sure is good heart medicine. We’re all in this together! And the Angels are always here to strengthen us! We got this!!✨

[@sleepdestroyer27]

I loved the moment where a family member and our "angel" kissed us on the cheek. Saw my gram and a my favorite sylph hummingbird

[@lydiaminer3572]

Tears when A talked about loving kindness. I was with my neighbors today as they said good bye to their sweet dog, who is the first and best friend of my dog. Our streak will not be the same without our lovely Cora. Thank you for this practice.

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Flow Day 16:01:24 ✅ ✨Kindness✨🙏🏾🙏🏾"Let something go" "Breathe" you got this " Be kind to yourself" 🧡👌🏾😌Thank you as always Adriene🌷🌺for this kindness practice and your consistent amazing support. Many thanks to this awesome yoga community that genuinely cares & uplifts one another.Much gratitudel & loving your calm kind loving presence & soothing voice...every time. Hope everyone has a terrific spread of loving kindness on and off the mat....see you Flowyy lovelies tomorrow. Namaste❤️❤🙏🏾

[@SJHenley]

I still have a head cold so this practice was indeed a bit of kindness for myself. 😊 And I have a yoga mat for the first time in a long time, so that was an added bonus. Very nice practice, indeed. 💜

[@tetesclowntown]

We're still in this together! ❤ take your time 😊

[@quelsjn]

This challenge has been a bit harder for me this year since I'm 7 months pregnant... But I'm going on my on pace and making adjustments as needed! Thank you so much Adrienne and all your team for these classes ❤️ sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️

[@vivienpkx]

Happy dance for us all reaching the halfway mark!

[@fumblingbumbler19]

Thank you so much Adriene, for always somehow knowing the practice needed most. Thank you for your loving kindness to yourself and us ❤

[@purplehoodie694]

This was delicious 💛 It left me warm, tingly and calm all over. I know I will come back to these 20 mins of self love many times to come.

[@rennievan3092]

I am in Bon Secour, Alabama and we practiced together today! 🩵

[@jessicaliatje]

the 20 minutes are over before i know it! thank you for another amazing practice, and all of you in this community

[@kirazinn]

❤ the new exercise with hands under chin to lift up to help upper back. That felt really good. The movement with the legs for deep stretch was good too 👍❤️🙂

[@66madhat]

Namaste on this cold and dark morning. It is beginning to be noticeable that the days are getting longer. Let's continue our journey.

[@susanho8542]

Spreading loving-kindness to ourselves and others, is a wonderful thing! Thank you, Adriene. 🕉

[@Magicwithizz]

This is I think the longest I’ve been consistent with yoga. It’s not much but it’s something. And once I got over the hump of forcing myself to do it, I started to actually enjoy it. This is the first time I can remember enjoying a movement based activity. Genuinely. Not using it for self punishment or to burn calories, but doing it because it genuinely feels good. I plan to do various 30 day challenges until the end of March, then see where I want to go from there. It’s exciting and relieving to find joy in movement when I only previously had self hate

[@siriuslynow8226]

This’ll be my first 30 day program I’m following in real-time and honestly I didn’t think it’d be this encouraging! I don’t really engage too much in the comments but every time I’m thinking of putting the practice off, I think about how nice it is to be going through the same pace as everyone else here and push myself to do so. I never regret it!

[@zoerichings2698]

That was a lovely sweet practice today. Really enjoying the shorter, more mindful, restful sessions. There is a perfect mix of strong and soft sessions across the month. Thanks again x

[@milletarpjrgensen7333]

Hello Adriene, I am writing from Danmark. You are so kind and sweet. I love your voice and what you are figuring out for us.. Also thanks to your team. I have followed you fore abaut 5 years now. I owe your so much. You make my day😀Thanks for everything.. love from Mille

[@elzakinde3286]

Had to take a break and coming back to this one felt so comforting and nice. Love that there's nothing about this 30 day challenge that creates friction for those who struggle with doing daily. We show up when we can 💛

[@micheledevries5117]

The world needs more kindness ... thank you for this yummy practice.

[@gardencorrespondent3381]

“There’s only one of these” - sometimes that’s what I need to hear to hang in there! I, too, have found kindness in this practice and I am so grateful. Thank you Adriene, thank you community of beautiful souls.

[@AgustDucky]

Same! But that was a slow drown out 5 count if ever there was one!! :)

[@roamtim]

Great session to show and relax, nice!! Thanks Adriene!!

[@melissacharles1581]

Good morning everyone. What a wonderful way to begin the day!

[@laurenbx]

I can’t believe how quickly these 30 days are going by. This practice is helping massively with my marathon training and ridiculously stiff body 😅 looking forward to completing this journey and then I’m going to redo Center ❤

[@jessicaalshammar3282]

I love the diversity in your yoga classes. It´s always fun to do your yoga. Thankyou

[@karenhall5932]

I'm a few days behind but truly loving this (almost) daily practice. Well done everyone.

[@nobarbie8748]

I kinda fell of the wagon for a few days, but in the spirit of self compassion and „something is better than nothing“ thinking, I decided to just keep going where I left of. Thank you for this beautiful practice ❤

[@samanthaportlock5691]

Kindness, just when I needed it. Feeling a little tired and worn out this morning. This was the perfect hug to give me a start to the restoration my day. Thank you ❤

[@nancywilliams3454]

Thank you Adrienne 😊 Feeling proud of myself for sticking with this and you. Loving it xxx

[@margaretweatherly1551]

It may be the last day of the month, but this is the most yoga I have ever done in a single month; and with many life and health challenges this month, almost all of my fitness was yoga. I’ve got time to do 1-2 more days before I leave for an international trip, so I’m excited to be more than halfway done with the challenge. I will probably have to do airport yoga and other adaptations while I am gone, but I will definitely be back to finish this challenge. Thank you so much, Adriene. ❤😊

[@nazzy101]

i am getting emotional now, i will miss being here everyday :') thank you for another amazing practice

[@kathylucking9072]

6:20 am -loving it! Look forward everyday to our time together, moving on the mat. Really appreciate the gentleness of this series. Thank you, Adriene!

[@rakshyapant103]

Love it. Thank you once again Adriene and thanks for spreading your kindness. ❤ ❤❤

[@anaa4533]

I'm so happy and proud of myself because I have honoured my health and have showed up every day, non stop

[@litmint9790]

Woke up to Kindness 🌈💗🌷. Thank you!!!!👣💖💞👥

[@icegini]

I like of this thirty days serie, that the videos are all around the same duration and not near or more than thirty minutes. They are perfect. And I love the focus on the spine.

[@12manushi]

Thank you, it was golden, I have a lot of personal issues going on and this is such a balm. I paid attention to most of your words, so loving! Loved the practice, it was so soothing. Lots of love to you and Benji and everyone practising :)

[@helenemeunier]

Thank you Adriene. And I don’t find it hard to show up personally. It’s like meeting a friend for coffee in the morning! ❤

[@lauriemayor9043]

So thankful for your videos, Adriene. I hope you can feel the love back at you.

[@joannakudla9710]

Loving kindness to all of us :)

[@suebingham4752]

That was just what I needed today. Thanks and namaste to all. Sue, UK. Xx🙏💜

[@aliceblake4704]

These last two practices were the first times this month I felt real strength and ease- just shows how a little consistency can make a difference!

[@rachael99]

Thank you from New Zealand Adriene. You have made such a positive difference to my life 😊💜🌻

[@joni4taz]

So challenging to show up on the mat when it's only 4 degrees F outside. The whole house has a chill in the air. But I showed up and so glad I did. Thank you Adriene. So grateful for this journey ❤

[@JaneHandsley]

Proud to be over the half way mark and happily thinking I don’t want this to end instead of when will this be over🤣 Before flow started I’d just managed to get my head to the floor in a wide legged forward fold so I’ve been adding one into the practice everyday so I don’t lose flexibility. Today I added in the toe stand from yesterday without the jelly wobble. I can’t believe how my body has changed since starting yoga 11 months ago and how much I enjoy the practice and the change it has made to life off the mat. Eternally grateful. Have a loving day. Namaste 🙏 🧘‍♀ ❤

[@TerezaK23]

Day 16. Sending love to all the lovely souls that have been practicing alongside of me! In this community, every day is filled with kindness. I'm so grateful to be a part of it. Namaste. 💛

[@Endless0067]

Oh boy did I need this one today! Woke up on a rainy day and did not feel like practicing. I’m glad I did because I needed to be kind to myself today.

[@tiniliciouz]

day 16 was just what I needed ❤ thank you, adriene and benji

[@code_n_color]

Day 16 done. Thank you Adriene for being you

[@11TheLittleReader11]

Today, I was moved by Adriene's grace and beauty. I notice it every time, but today it was just extra obvious. 🥰 Thank you, Yoga Goddess!

[@ayannaevans238]

Happy Day 16. Kindness is everything. Glad to be with you all this day and every day. Namaste

[@Thefitty]

I often forget that kindness starts with me. To myself. And I then extend that to others. I dont treat myself like a good best friend, but it's bene better over the years.

[@mommybread]

day 16 heart 💕 kindness goes a long way. congrats to everyone here for showing up and being kind to yourself 👏

[@cindymullikin8892]

I always appreciate the January Challenge with Adriene but this is my favorite of all! Subtle new moves, tone, the ease of the flow and all sessions under 25 minutes makes me exited to show up! Showing up - indeed the hardest part but also the best part of my morning routine. In Gratitude 💞

[@olivemoi9245]

Thank you for the 🫶✌️🧘‍♀️🙏 love, peace, and kindness!

[@arohaliebhart6932]

Managed to squeeze this in before my 3 month old woke up - 20 minutes of pure time for mum - perfection :)

[@stevewalker2047]

Good morning Adriene and all practicing today. Day 16 and I’m finding these sessions becoming a necessary starting point of my day. Thank you Adriene. Love and light. xxx.

[@tanja8294]

I joined a week later this year due to being ill, but today I've caught up with the majority of the community😊 I'm looking forward to practicing 'real time' for the second half of the journey! As always, it's been incredible so far. I started this year at a very low point and one of my main focuses in 2024 is to allow more stillness into my life. It's been wonderful practicing daily over the past week. In the past I never quite believed in dedicating time to do yoga daily, but this year I truly believe I'll continue to practice every day for the rest of the year (even if it means only sitting down for a few deep breaths). Thank you for always being there Adriene! Sending much love and light to you and this wonderful community, I'm very proud of everyone who shows up here every day🤍🌞🌿✨️🌻

[@GillianHinton]

I started the journey a week behind, but I've showed up everyday since and I'm really proud of myself. :) Yay for those who started on time, I'll see you at the finish line!

[@smitatrivedi5789]

Sending kindness to our loving community thank you Adrienne
