Gate Pose (Parighasana) - Foundations of Yoga

[@saretvanderwalt5779]

I have never worked as hard in any yoga class as I am now, working my way through the foundations of yoga series. It just shows how important it is to take the time to make sure that poses are done properly and all the necessary muscles are engaged. Wow! It is hard work. My body is soooo tight. Thank you Adriene for your gift to us!

[@laurengarner9622]

SMILIN' & ENJOYING.........Adriene, thanks again for keeping it real and connecting to the masses, while making each of us feel as though we're having a one on one yoga practice with you!

[@jasmine-ub5fl]

I added this onto my 65 min practice today and it was really tough to get through but enjoyed it namaste

[@chrstophervincent472]

Love the yoga classes! My kids and I have been doing them every morning with you! You are our YOGA! Thanks again for making this so accessible.

[@alisonmahony2580]

Brilliant Big thanks for sharing your yoga wisdom. So young so wise. Wonderful approach Namaste. (Ali from Australia)

[@SChappellaz]

I was watching the older foundations videos and there has been quite a transformation in your presenting style. Always some humour, but there's more of an ease and openness of your personality.

[@mojinxx]

Sooo glad you're on YT sharing your humor and joie de vivre. It makes a huge difference - yoga instructors can be pretty dang dry and serious. Thanks :}

[@yogawithadriene]

Yoga does not have to be so serious! Amen! xoox

[@kimbrooks1689]

As if I couldn't love you more. I am utilizing your foundations videos as I prepare for my practical Hatha Yoga exam this coming Monday, and I found myself singing along with your Annie Lennox lyrics. You make my heart smile. I may have been getting my certificate from another Yoga school, but all I know I have truly learned from you. Your guidance has provided me with the confidence to find who I truly am and who I wish to become. Much love to you Adriene (and team 😉)

[@aminakoroma3044]

I just did the Wind Relieving Pose, Warrior 3 and Gate Pose. They were all amazing. Three weeks left and then I've finished the whole 'Foundations' playlist and can start doing the beginners yoga sequences. Thank you so much +yogawithadriene

[@fine12mellow]

After doing gentle morning, energizing morning and bedtime yoga with you for 4 months regularly, I'm amazed how fast I regained my strength and flexibility. Big thank you, Adriene!

[@erniesminions9253]

If I could like this video more than once, I would. I usually do this pose when my arms/wrists aren't up to side plank pose without putting a knee down. I generally try to keep my foot in line with my body to work my balance, but turning it out got to some nooks and crannies that needed getting to, as well as then stretching to the counter side each time. Thank you!

[@arealperson6523]

Thought I'd give this yoga thing a try and all I can say is that I now love it! Your videos are awesome, thanks for sharing your techniques and humour, keep up the great work :)

[@katrinacalice6484]

I love doing yoga with you Adriene, I've been following for a few weeks now and feel great after the practises, thanks so much for sharing with us!

[@yogawithadriene]

Yay, welcome to the family Katrina! xoox

[@riomaeblanco1281]

Body integration at its best 😍✨ Thank you Adriene! Namaste 🙏🏻

[@emeliasoderlund]

Oh wow, now I get what this pose is all about. Thank you Adriene!!

[@lily30588]

I do this everyday, and it makes me feel sooooo good!!! Thank you,

[@tianapaul4412]

I've caught a horrible flu and while recovering, thought i would get off my bed and do some inside fitness/yoga since its raining outside.... this is amazing and I think i'll have to do it daily! feeling better already.. Thanks so much!!

[@yogawithadriene]

Hope you are allll better now!

[@LynnRomano]

amazing for the sides and my lower back. Thank you, Adriene!

[@yogawithadriene]

Amen Lynn!

[@choochoochooseyou]

Agree with everyone, it's your fun approach that sets you apart. And sooooo cute!

[@choochoochooseyou]

Found a way to be even cuter... i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/8165942272/hB27C466C/

[@yogawithadriene]

choochoochooseyou Hahha! Love it!

[@yogawithadriene]

Love choo!

[@sms52]

Strained my ribs somehow. An article recommended this pose and heat. Love to hear more suggestions, although I know you're busy.

[@lkwhostalkinggx3]

Love this. You always inspire me to get back on the mat! Thanks! :)

[@laurenpickens996]

Still awesome in 2023!

[@lillypadlover1234199]

Got my shake on in this pose! Really feeling those muscles come to life in this pose! Thank you!

[@jodyboggiani9678]

finished practice with this.. and i felt tall afterwards, and slow and graceful. Thanks Adriene

[@yogawithadriene]

Goooood!

[@Izzyneedscoffee]

Love, love, LOVE your humor!! 3

[@yogawithadriene]

Smile!

[@sarajarvie1294]

Yes the Eurythimics! Thanks for all these foundation videos. Which way should my thumbs be pointing when my hands are on the floor under my shoulders?

[@manishasukhyani2452]

That is the most yummiest yoga pose.

[@HellyWelly93]

Smashing through these 🙌

[@6render]

Something I think would be popular would be a yoga/sanskrit vocabulary episode Plus it would give you a chance to flex those theatrical muscles with like a language arts teacher persona

[@maddoxblaze348]

I guess Im quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?

[@walkerisaias2066]

@Maddox Blaze i would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@coreycarmelo416]

@Walker Isaias yup, I have been using flixzone for since april myself =)

[@maddoxblaze348]

@Walker Isaias Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !!

[@walkerisaias2066]

@Maddox Blaze You are welcome xD

[@mariecaroniaplotkin5268]

nice video- well explained, not boring, fun to watch. thanks!

[@sabrina9599]

I can't do it.I've tried it a lot but I'm just soo confused.omg I want to laugh to myself!

[@louisemartin2261]

Wonderful! I love the purrs and the fresh cues.

[@AymaneAbaich]

your videos makes me happy that it! l think if you make an every day vlog that gonna be amazing you have such a lovely personality Adriene ;)

[@yogawithadriene]

thank you for the push! Love to you! I appreciate it. xoox

[@SozzellLovesKOL]

Adriene, you are absolutely hilarious. Thank you!

[@inbredagogo]

Does practicing Yoga give you more energy?

[@The_MissJarvis]

Absolutely! It releases, relaxes, realigns, reignites, recycles your energy! Get into a good 4 days a week for 3 months practice to feel the boost! It will begin to see better sleep increase first.

[@selenem3384]

yeah and you can forget to eat as you have so much energy😱😱😱

[@anjalim17]

love you adriene..best yoga teacher

[@amandaritzau2602]

SHMeeeeeeeer ;) 😆 Lol this was a great video. Oooof great pose, great stretch. Have a great Monday!

[@Aajsza]

love your foundations of yoga!!!

[@bbdgun]

lady you are rocking it!!

[@Calicofrost]

I was doing great until 11:13 when you talked about smearing butter over your body with a funny accent and then I laughed so hard I fell out of the pose!

[@megd9189]

I find that it is difficult for me to press into the outer edge of the foot on this one. Do you have any tips for that? Thanks Adriene for all your wonderful videos!

[@zoemarkham9872]

thank for doing what you're doin adrienne! wondering when the reboot and empower courses will be re-available on your website?

[@charliedayzee]

Thank you Adriene

[@AsiyahBabyGirlxxx]

I just love your mat! Turquoise is my favorite colour and the pattern underneath is stunning. Where did you get it from? :) xxx

[@montserratpuliddocornejo223]

Grazie Adriene!

[@riav977]

Hey. I am a teen that is slowly getting in to yoga. Thank you so much for inspiring me and helping me develop a healthier life style. Is it possible to get a special video; yoga for pre teens/ teens? Thanks a lot x

[@earringsabound]

I definitely noticed a lot of lift in my ribs and that I was holding my core taller than normal. I had a bit of soreness in my knees. Next time I'll be sure to have a blanket to pad my mat.

[@yogawithadriene]

Awesome. And, yes, pad that knee E! Enjoy your practice :-)

[@gilliankerr779]

You could just be smearing sun cream ;) just saying! Will try this later as I have torn my Quadratus Lomborum and ligaments connecting my lumbar spine on the left... in recovery now but very stiff. Just trying to find gentle exercises to target my back from different angles... like the look of the little hover, need to regain some core strength :)

[@sihintas5336]

Adriene, could you please do a video on how to do the Anantasana (Sleeping Vishnu) pose???

[@333freakflag]

I love your videos! Do you think someday you could do a video on yoga for tight hips?

[@yogawithadriene]

Yes! Try the Yoga for Hips under the "Yoga Tips" Playlist! oxo

[@333freakflag]

Thanks!

[@TheCottonCandy707]

Standing on my full foot on the outstretched leg is so hard for me

[@kitty87888]

Great video. Can the gate pose lead to middle splits?

[@rjtheoret]

Any techniques that can strengthen the abs without being too hard on them? I had surgery 6 months ago that involved a large incision across my upper abs... ouch! I know. Thanks!

[@vaishnavin.v.7199]

❤❤

[@saltycat262]

Hi Adriene, I can't remember if it was in a video or a response you posted in the comments, but a while ago you briefly mentioned how much your body has changed since starting yoga. Can you talk a little about that?

[@yogawithadriene]

I sure can. I will do this in an upcoming vlog! XOXOOX

[@stephaniex8776]

This was surprisingly hard

[@aline2957]

My knees hurt a lot, even double siding my mat... Any suggestions? I had to stop the poses before as I could not ignore the pain...

[@music-wc5it]

How can I keep up my flexibility? I've done your hip opening video among others and got great results only they don't last. To stay flexible do I have to keep doing it everyday or is there another way because id like to get further in my practice but this seems to hold me back. any suggestions?

[@TheNicolexoxo]

best way is to do it every day as long as your body is able to!

[@benniefrank]

yeaaaah, Annie!

[@LoArtiz]

Adriene! My home practice life saver! I'm a new yogi and although I already have a mat I wanted to know what website or store you advise to get the best yoga gear? Towels, mats, bags that're reasonably priced? Thank you!!! :)

[@yogawithadriene]

Hi there! I am collaborating to make the BEST mat! Stay tuned! More info on that coming soon! xoox

[@beautifulbeingsyoga9887]

I love youuuuuuu

[@seasidecardreadings]

thats really hurt, i got cramps in both my legs and bottocks muscles. Thank you but that was hard. Ouch.

[@kristenmchardy835]

My sides feel great :) Question, however- my knees tend to hyper extend and I found the pressure on them painful when my heel was pointing up. Any variations you would suggest? Could I keep my weight on the outer edges of the foot rather than the heel? Thanks!

[@yumikolightworker]

You can use a block under your right foot and heel on the floor.

[@davidsanders7530]

What took me so long to find you???

[@richlayers]

I always greatly enjoy your sense of humor, but I must admit, "spread yo butter" made me laugh harder than usual. :-D

[@yogawithadriene]

Hahha, oh lawd! ;-)

[@jaycomtois2508]

Be me, a man, joyfully commando in my sweats (home practice am I right?), listening intently to your every word, forgetting I'm not a woman. "..and we're gonna give our inner thigh a little slap!", she says. Swiftly slap myself, but catch the dangly bits and my high pitch scream gives the cat a heart attack. Guess I still need to work on my body awareness a little hahaha

[@zahrasaadabad7150]

❤❤❤❤❤🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@999sgirl]

Hard to follow as mirroring you we got backwards first so can't see what you're doing

[@Hello.Yellow.Mellow]

this is not how Hatha yoga teach Gate pose. u seem to be doing it the wrong way.one needs to bend towards the leg that is extended sideways

[@666boogers]

You are a nut but so am I. Smearing my ribs with peanutbutter, yum. XD

[@KylieTuesday]

cutie

[@khouloudko7631]

U r funny 💋💋
