Long story short: 26 years old now. Been a hardcore gym rat/wannabe bodybuilder since 2005 as a 10 year old. Everything was about intensity, anger, speed, explosiveness, energy, etc. 15 years beat me to hell. Decided this year I'd change. Be more about health. Started this January with the decision to do daily yoga. Found this channel first, not knowing anything or where to go. I can truly say implementing daily yoga has changed my body and mind for the better. I look forward to this every day. I've never treated my body with the love it needed before. This has taught me how. Thank you, Adriene. I TRULY love this channel. It's a godsend!!

I have been doing this yoga practice every day for almost 3 months now and here are the changes I noticed: 1. I can breathe deeper and fuller. 2. My body is becoming slimmer and fitter and dare I say more attractive (I'm not doing any exercises other than this one). I can see the most changes on my face, arms and back. 3. I became even more in love with my body. 4. My voice has more depth to it when I speak, probably thanks to the changes in my breathing. This is actually an awesome thing for a teacher like me. *5. My experience this morning: I had a stomachache due to my overeating last night. After doing the practice, I felt light in my tummy and all the uncomfortable feelings went away. Only the first 15 minutes of this practice, every day, for 3 months really transformed my body. I initially did it to relieve tension in my body after a whole day of working. Now I'm continuing it because it makes me feel good and more in love with myself. Final words: Find what feels good.

[@mz9977]

@@chochooshoe I think she means that the first 15 mins of strengthening and the deep stretches afterwards are the important thing. Saying you don’t have time for 45 minutes of stretching a day is a lie. It’s just about prioritizing. :)

[@skribulz7]

@@mz9977 that is tough love advice but it is so true. I used to think I didn’t have time for a lot of things and then I decide to replace those words with “I haven’t made this a priority” and it sucks to say that about things you find important. It definitely changed the way I managed my time and I began to “find the time” for things that mattered.

Writing another comment since I've been doing this practice for 5 months now. When I started I had sciatica pain alternating down both legs and knee pain in my left. I walked with a limp. After 5 months of doing this just 3 times a week, I am now walking 95% pain free. Way better than any other exercise or medication could have done. I never thought I'd walk again or be able to chase after my 2 year old daughter. Thank you so much Adriene!!

I came close to quitting life entirely a couple of weeks ago. While waiting for my ex to pick up our 10-year-old, i did one of your videos, (I think the 20 minute morning one) and by the end i thought that if i could still feel this great and have a smile, even for a brief moment, it was worth giving life a shot.

I have made it mandatory for me to take time every Friday morning, about an hour after I wake up, to run through this routine. When I am done I feel almost new. A few weeks ago I had something to do that prevented me from this routine on Friday. i felt out of it all day. So first thing Saturday I ran through it and it made a significant difference on the rest of the weekend. The rest of the week I follow one of the other programs, but on Friday I have to do the deep stretch. This is a great program and I am so happy I found it.

Unfortunately for work, I travel over 40 weeks a year, the airlines are making the seats narrower, and reducing the leg room. I am tall and a little overweight, yet when people a lot more overweight, keep hitting you in the ribs, taking part of your seat or someone dropping the back of their seat into my knees, it is very hard to not be more cranky.

I wasn't sure when I saw it was 45 minutes, if I could do it, but I did, and after 1 year 112 days of daily yoga. I found it easier then I expected, and quite beautiful. It was so refreshing to dive deep into stretching, and sinking up with the breath.

It's funny how she insinuates that frog legs is the hard part, for me it was definitely the lizard variation and to a lesser extent the elbow to earth. Maybe it's just me. Regardless, Adriene is the best Yogi on KZbin!

Just wanted to thank you. In the military and 36 years of abusing my body in different sports I couldn't sit with my legs crossed at 45 degrees up without hurting. One week into your 30 day program along with this stretch video daily has be sitting Indian style with no pain. My back also feels alot better. Also love your energy from inside that can be felt through video. Guru Benji also awesome. Thanks again for these great videos.

This practice was difficult for me today. Right when you said release in the beginning I began to cry like a little kid again wanting to see my Dad. I had a hard time with my breath because I was crying, but it helped when you told me to listen to it. It was painful to go through this practice because I just wanted to get off my mat and cry, but I told myself that I was safe and okay to cry during the practice. When I say painful I mean to face my grief. I’m glad I continued though. Thank you Adriene.

[@daviddeloco8295]

I hurt my lower back at work almost 2 months ago (I am an EMT and a big part of my job is lifting people) and I haven’t been the same since. About a week ago it got so bad I had to leave work because I couldn’t even bend over, let alone pick people up. I was told from a friend about yoga and how it helped her recover from a back injury. I’ve been watching your routines for about a week now, doing at least once a day and I already feel better than I have in months. I can actually bend down to tie my shoes or bend over to wash my hands and brush my teeth (I dreaded that every night because it was for sure going to bring me pain). I just wanna thank you, from a person who’s never done yoga or anything of the like before for putting out these videos and helping me. I thought my back and body was going to be ruined forever but now I have hope I’ll make a full recovery. Along with that I think I have found a new passion that will keep my body and mind healthy for the years to come. Again thank you so much Adriene!!

I looked at the schedule and thought, "I really do not want to do 45 minutes today." Then I read my previous comment from eight months ago. Initially reading how difficult I had found the first part did not help. But then I noticed I had found encouragement that day as the practice moved along. So I decided to just do it. And although I still look at this deceptively slow practice as one of the more difficult ones on the YWA channel, I did find my experience a bit easier. Process day 18. 287 days in a row.

[@NeonXterre]

Hi Adriene, I want you to know I've been practicing with your yoga videos for nearly 3 years, and it's been quite a journey. Just getting around to saying thank you! I've learned so much through you; that my center is more than a physical locus in my body. That the breath is important on and off the yoga mat, and bringing awareness to it can bring great peace of mind. I've become more intelligent and in tune with when my body needs rest, and when I can light the fire! That rest is not just physical, it's mental as well. That mind and body are always talking to each other, and listening to that gives us greater control over our lives. The biggest lesson I have learned is that the present moment is all that we are, and ever had, and it is from here that all that is good comes to life. I could keep going, but know that your reach goes beyond your subscribers, class attendees, followers; the light you put into the world radiates from person to person. This particular practice came after a day of much needed rest, and you are always here for me to provide the tools and resources to maintain my well being. You're a blessing to all! Namaste
