Finally finally finally starting to gain some balance in my modified tree pose ❤

[@TheClarkeh]

🎉 way to go ❤

[@brittany7895]

@TheClarkeh 🙏 thank you. Happy to be practicing with you and others around the world

[@shubhamyadav336]

Thank you Adriene. I love how you have matured in last 10 years. Lots of love to all versions of you.😄

[@mindfork4741]

I was really out of balance today but I was kind to myself and I did manage to stay put for longer than I thought I could in my current emotional state. I'm grateful. 💜

[@camillebrooks3527]

Blessings to my yoga family. 🙌 Thanks much, Adriene 🙏 . Namaste ❤️ 🙏 👋

[@hannalofman2444]

I did yoga for connection today and the breathing was perfect for me. Halfway through my dog started poke me with her huge plastc collar (she had big surgery two days ago) , I took her our, walked her aroung the house, she did nothing, we got back, the she kidnapped my head inside her collar and started licking my face, I started laughing and that was a treat for the day. Now I need a tiny nap, before going to do little bit of garden work💚🍂leaves from the Fall🌹cutting the roses🌞Namaste

[@fluffyross2297]

Thank you Adriene, you've just made a stressful evening a little better, and calmer. ❤ The reason for my stress, is because Christmas is getting ever closer. For some, it's a time of joy, and celebration, but for me it just dredges up past trauma. It's a hard time of year for me, and is often anxiety provoking, and very stressful. Of course I have moments of joy too, you can feel more then one thing. But most of my feelings, for this time of year are anxious ones. But your yoga, always helps to ease my anxiety. Thank you Adriene, you are a star. I love you. 🧡 see you again tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏💜

[@fluffyross2297]

Thank you Adriene, for being just what I needed today. You saying about balancing postures, and not being able to hide in them. Really resonated with me today. I have a lot of trouble being myself, being true to who I am. I often end up putting on a mask of someone like me, but who isn't quite me. I'm trying not to do that so much anymore, but its hard at times. Your yoga practices really help me, you remind me who I really am, and you make me smile. So thank you so much Adriene for all that you do. I love you, and I love the yoga you've shown me, and the way of life you've taught me. See you again on the mat tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡🦋

Day 17 of Reflect 📖 Been dealing with my shoulder injury most this month. This was so lovely to do, taking a load off. ❤

[@brucejallen]

Thank you Adriene and your video makers. I am 62 and did a fair bit of yoga in my 20's and early 30's. I have just this week begun again attending a class twice a week and following along with your video's each morning. It is easing my moments of anxiety and depression. I thank you again and hope I can stick with it.

[@122123]

I hope you've stuck with it

[@yogawithadriene]

I'm so glad Jasmine! Thank you! I love the Yoga Foundations series because we get to really break down each shape and remind ourselves that the possibilities are endless and the journey life long!

[@CeciliaKautzman]

REFLECT 🪞 | December 17, 2024 | My legs were a bit tired today, but this foundations practice is always so grounding and allows us to reconnect to that core strength. 🙏

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

👋🏿

[@Sonification]

Watching this video I can see how far you've come in your practice and inner journey, and even 10 years ago your foundations are so strong! Thank you Adriene 🙏

[@FreyaHatfield]

Reflect day 16 🎉 thank you, Adriene, for this practice, it’s nice focusing and spending some extended time on one pose to see what works and what doesn't work and also to try different ways to what I am used to. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Hello dear yogi friend... This was a nice practice... Have a lovely evening.💜😄🙏🏾

[@FreyaHatfield]

@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266 it was, you too. 💖🙏🏻

[@MackDaddyDay]

Took me years to get into this pose. So proud I can stand in tree! Merry Xmas Eve! WONDER DEC 2023

[@aniagorczynska1970]

Same here. 😊It took me about two years. Merry Christmas!🎄

[@M.Babadook]

Thank you for saying "no toxic thoughts" at the end. I'm doing yoga mostly to improve my mental health and balance but I'm still a beginner. You snapped me out of my unhelpful negative thoughts.

[@shirleyquinn2572]

Good to get back to basics again with a younger Adrienne and her late dog 😢🙏💕

[@nastena_vo1525]

REFLECT Day 17🦩 I am falling with dignity and love😂 Thank you Adriene, Benji and my dear yoga family

[@camillebrooks3527]

I remember at one point tree pose seemed impossible now I'm so focused and doing the pose. Thanks very much Adriene. Love you. ❤️ ❤ Namaste.

[@vikki8699]

My day 13 of Build. I fancied doing the tree pose today and so here I am :D ❤

[@MrPinky309]

Young Adriene and puppy Blue! From the archives. I was not very steady; I was more like a palm tree today, but sinking roots. Thanks, Adriene, for planting me here.

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou for this, Adriene. I really enjoy doing the foundations of yoga videos before a practice/flow video xx

[@yogawithadriene]

I can recommend some poses for high blood pressure - forward fold are good, seated postures, bridge pose, etc- and of course everyone is different. I have been wanting to do a sequence for this as high blood pressure runs in my family. The new series "Embrace It" will include sequences with a theraputic approach. I will add this to the list, thank you! Stay tuned. xx

[@EJK26]

Thank you for this Adriene. High blood pressure runs in my family too. You are an angel. ❤ - Ed Kennedy

[@katesinit]

Reflect day 17! Yay, one of my favorite poses! Have a good day, everyone! Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💚💚💚

[@bookdesignandhorses]

I really enjoyed slowing this down to dig deeper into tree. Thanks!

[@RobertaA7]

Your reaction to Benji walking off always makes me laugh... Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[@MissAbyssss]

That’s Blue, Adriene’s sidekick before she got Benji (another blue heeler).

[@pattygomez8656]

Finally able to hold this pose with my left leg up and right leg grounded! I’ve been doing yoga for seven years and today was the day! 🎉

[@MackDaddyDay]

You are awesome! 🎉

[@williamb7275]

🎉🙏🏼

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

This was so much fun to do again this boxing day and at bedtime, a 😅👌🏾yoga pose, so brilliant to add this practice and I found it very relaxing. I'm so appreciative of Wonder Day 26:12:23✅🎁🤗. hope all you lovelies had a nice boxing day. Namaste❤🙏🏾

[@noctoi]

Thank you so much for this! It’s so difficult to find absolute beginners breakdowns like this. I’ve been doing yoga off and on for years, but I’m quite heavy and get migraines. Some poses are just impossible for me because of my size and sometimes I can’t get the full pose without triggering a migraine. This is one of those poses... despite how “easy” it looks it’s one of the more challenging for me. I wish I’d known it could be modified right down to the toe on the ground. I would have been far more likely to maintain my yoga practice if I didn’t feel like I was “doing it wrong” or being slack taking a less stressful version of each pose. Thank you for not assuming everyone just knows the poses and has the requisite flexibility before we start. ❤️

[@juliacannon2604]

Aw, I've never seen one of the older videos with Blue. I love him!

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

3rd time here, Build 26:04:24✅ Fun to do...even after such a hectic long day....I still got on and I felt so refreshed afterwards Thank you for adding this to Build.

Thank you for your lovely reminder of the tree pose attempt I'm happily modifying to, building strength with, yay!😅😆🥳🎉 no wobbles this time and really feels nice to see your heavenly dog Blue💙 again. Thank you Adriene, so grateful. Are we ready for May ✨Greet✨ practice? I am. Best wishes and a warm restful lovely Friday nite to all you build buddies..... No toxic thoughts, ok? Namaste☮️💜💜🙏🏾

[@Cindy-c8f]

[@anyaforestell]

Great little foundation video for a Friday :) See you all tomorrow for a wonderful Saturday too! Root Day 28, April 2023 🌴

[@johnbentley3930]

My gym caught fire yesterday, so here I am doing tree pose instead of my morning workout. My balance is getting better which I think is due to increased strength in my foot. Thanks for that 😁

[@Alexandra-yv9xt]

I love love seeing the early Adriene videos. Thank you Adriene!!

[@adriannegreen2863]

Lovely! 🌳 You give wonderful instructions. Love the thoroughness.

[@marywells71]

Root day twenty-eight. This practice was awesome for seeing how far I’ve come in my yoga journey! Thank you Adriene! Namaste 🤍

[@CAR17796]

Tried to come into this with more of a beginners mindset and try all variations instead of just going straight into what I knew, thank you adriene!

[@CeciliaKautzman]

BUILD 🔥 | April 26, 2024 | Great way to ground myself again after a day of travelling yesterday! My balance was a bit off while doing tree pose during our yoga session at my work event, but today it was back on track! 🙏

[@CeciliaKautzman]

[@sandylynn9834]

Thank you for this helpful video! So good to see the pose broken down to master doing it correctly. A few compliments too! Love your yoga space, the shirt you’re wearing, and the introduction to your videos. Have a great day!

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou for today, Adriene xx

[@lilkob239]

Build🧱 - April 2024 I build balance and centring into my life. I love these foundations practices to really focus on a pose, to centre the mind and balance the body. Nothing much happens in them but i find them so grounding as i consciously move through the motions of a pose, accepting where i am at every stage and breathing love and light into my body💖. I love how, as Adriene says, with balancing poses it’s different every day. That’s one of the reasons that make them so fun! It’s like a mini roulette of balance😊. Vrksasana is also one of my favourite poses and i love revisiting it and seeing how far i come each time as i am now at the point where my next goal is to stand with my eyes closed! I’ve managed about a couple of seconds before i either have to reopen them or i become a swaying, falling tree but i can really feel the progress every time i return🌲🌴🌳 💚. Namaste yoga people and happy weekend🙏👏✨💓!! Xx

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

Reflect l 🦋❤🦋l Day - 17 l December 17, 2025 l Blessed Beloved Beauties! I substituted this gem 💎 for another: Quad Release as my right quad has been super sore since I returned to calisthenics and did 300 squats Monday and a speed run. Now, I need time to heal. I hope everyone enjoyed the tree pose. Best wishes! 🦋❤️🦋

[@FreyaHatfield]

Build day 26🎉 thank you, Adriene, for this quick practice to start the day, it was perfect and the strength building it seems my legs need 😂. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[@okglitterbug15]

I never really had any balance and I tend to carry more weight on one side of my body, and I never really thought that I was good at it. Whenever I would take yoga classes I would dread doing the standing poses because I would be off balance and feel embarrassed. But your video really helped! I always thought I just did not have that strong of a core, but what you said about lengthening up the spine is what I have been missing I swear! all of a sudden I can balance THANK YOU!!

[@doraentertainment6507]

I just started yoga this week. I am so glad that I discovered your KZbin Channel. You really take your time to explain the poses; as a beginner, that is exactly what I need. THANK YOU!

[@cherylyeo25]

sense of grounding which is what adriene prescribed WONDERful back to basic - root and grow namaste to all practising and may all find tree of life within

[@MackDaddyDay]

I feel like im in a simulation. I did tree pose on both sides!😮 my palms are sweating, which does not happen to me often😅 standing with my leg in the air was harder than tree. Also first time feeling that type of burn in my calfs😂 wow!🎉 Love June 27th 2023

[@cherylyeo25]

REFLECT as finding balance in all things - body mind posture namaste to all practising and may all find balance

[@ReginaLynnavatar]

Thank you ❤

[@freespirit995]

Thank you for posting this superb video of Vrksasana. I find this one of the most difficult poses and your methodical and calm demonstration is really helpful. Oddly, I find this pose easier in my pre-breakfast practice than in my weekly evening class. The hardest part for me is not to lose concentration- or rather not to see my thought get diverted to other things than the execution of the pose- as, when that happens, I inevitably lose my balance! Many thanks once again for sharing this instruction!

[@darcidoodle4792]

This is SO helpful! Thank you for showing variations. I have both knee and balance issues, and it was encouraging to see the path forward to mastery. I'm so grateful for the joy you bring to the practice. Thanks!

[@HellyWelly93]

I love it when I can balance tree pose!

[@julieerin115]

One of my favorite yoga poses!

[@helenajuliadebecka8951]

It's so cool to watch it in 2021! Beginnings of the channel was as nice as it is today :)

[@SoulFoxx221]

I'm learning to do yoga with you during the mornings and to knock out one or two foundations of yoga to understand the "lingo" and poses better. This one is a favorite. Thank you!

[@katesinit]

Build day 26! One of my favorite poses💕 Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🤎🤎🤎

[@val_ezresponse]

Great instruction. she's a lovely teacher.

[@krkemp12]

Most challenging of the "Foundations" so far! My foot only reaches about knee height, can't get to thigh and I'm wobbling quite a bit...be interesting to see my progress on this one. :) Thanks for these foundation videos, great for us who've never done ANY yoga before. Love seeing your dogs while you teach!

[@AttorneyLyndosha]

Hi! I am focusing on the foundations in yoga while I am pregnant. I have been practicing since 2012 and am a mid-level to advanced yogi. I didn't know how much I would appreciate getting back to the basics in yoga due to the Baby. This easy practice was what I needed today.

[@Kralechka]

Love this pose. Really brings awareness to every muscle in your body

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[@nicj5112]

Wow, I always struggled with this one but this tutorial just helped me nail it in one session! You brilliantly break down the elements needed to get to a pose.

[@BRADFORDKO]

I for one thank you for taking the time to share for free yoga. I am benefiting from all of this. no worries.

[@alysabeth3059]

Hello! I just started watching your videos yesterday and I started with yoga for complete beginners, but realized that I didn't understand how the poses worked, so I came to the foundations. I just wanted to say you are an excellent instructor and very funny. Also, your dog is super cute!

[@yogawithadriene]

A classic! ;-)

[@jin143]

Adriene, you're such a great teacher! So informative! I am absolutely hooked on your videos!

[@LupitaMartinez63018]

❤❤❤❤ I love this one!!!

[@bryson5544]

I decided to start doing yoga at home from KZbin videos and one of your videos was the first to come up. I am thankful for that. I started with a recent video and I am very impressed at how better of a yogi master you've become. I am saying that with no experience in yoga, just as a student. These videos are GOLD and extremely valuable. I also thought they were harder to find than your other playlists/videos. I think this stuff is so good that it would warrant a revisit. Although people might not come to your channel for the foundations of yoga, I think a lot of people will want to learn the foundations of yoga from you once they have participated in a few of your videos. That's what I did. I would bet good money that "Foundations of Yoga with Adriene V2" would bring in a massive amount of views for you over time, considering these ones don't seem to do as well as your recent videos.

[@marisgoldenhour6212]

Build, April 26, 2024. Today's practice was very wobble filled, but I appreciated testing my balance. I found strength in finding the lift and balance. 💙

[@12manushi]

Video from 9 years ago, wow, so amazing. Thanks a lot. Quite useful.

[@12manushi]

Did it again today, very detailed and helpful. Thank you :)

[@charlottenewman4198]

Thank you ❤

[@lizrobinsga]

Foundations of yoga, you are the bomb! For about six years, I've sucked at tree pose, and when I decided to go basic and check out this video, it made me light years better. Thanks, Adriene. .

[@ianjosling1137]

Well, thank you as ever, Adriene. I have been a student of yours for about 2 years now spending on average 30 minutes a day with you but I've never done the foundation videos before; Interesting how they still can give new insights to the poses. I feel like you are a friend and even though I realise you can't possibly read all the comments that you must get I wanted to express my feelings and gratitude, all the way from sunny lockdown Cornwall, in the UK. (PS love the 2012 cute haircut)

[@isis-santos-costa]

🌸🌸🌸 Namaste 😊🙏❤️

[@CeciliaKautzman]

ROOT 🌳 | April 28, 2023 | I don't know if I've done this foundations video before, but either way it was nice to spend some time deepening the tree pose. The concept of lifting up in the asanas has really helped improve my posture overall. Also great to see Blue make an appearance! 🙏

[@cutemuffins3567]

Day 24 part 2 complete. I haven't quite gotten the hip flexibility to get my leg up to where I would like it without holding my foot to be so I decided to just hover my foot next to my standing leg where it wants to be because I am not going to press my foot against my knee where it wants to be. 12/24/2023

[@victoriafroggy6158]

Fantastic video! Love the idea of actually trying to throw yourself off balance. Made an already cool pose even more fun!

[@loisjclark]

Thank you, this was SO helpful! Excellent explanation. 🙂

[@pugtrees]

Thanks for doing these so that we really get to know how to do these basic poses and what to focus on.

[@kristinamandathimas1860]

I have been told my other instructors how I've gotten better with my balance as well as with the ball and step. In the process of it all. I've noticed how. I'm doing tree pose more and more without any issues. When I poured me a big cup of water I had the cup in great freezer door filling up my cup and was able to slide my foot in and up to my inner thigh without any issues. I noticed the same thing tonight when talking to my tonight my arm lying on her bed and was able to do the same j had done it not thinking about it I won't do it with my shoes on but it's just usually when Im not wearing any or if I'm wearing flip-flops I'll take my foot our and will do it not even thinking about it This pose is helping make such a difference in my balance and posture and. Much easier it's become. Thank you so much for introducing this I love you for it and greatly appreciate you continuing to make such a difference in our every day life through your practices You help teach us so much and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou, Adriene xxx Merry Christmas Eve xx

Reflect Day 17 🙏 December 17th, 2024 Tree rooted to Mother Earth beautiful to practice as I gaze at my friends swaying in the wind 🙏 though my swaying has nothing to do with wind 😉

[@krithikaramakrishnan5595]

Thank you Adriene, I find happiness by doing yoga with you :) Lots of love :)

[@candicanelaine]

Used this for my "playtime" in day 25 of 30 Days of Yoga today. I can really feel my balance improving throughout the month! Thank you so much for putting all of this out there, Adriene. I am loving being able to learn yoga and build my own home practice with your guidance. :)

[@mimibeamy89]

I know it's late in the day but I just have to say so far this series has been so so helpful! Feel much more connected to my poses and general posture and it's been great for helping me see things differently and to approach them in more fruitful ways! Thanks Adriene!! You da bomb! ;)

[@janematsell8816]

I've always wanted to do this pose properly, and now I'm on my way! You're a great instructor, and I appreciate your charisma.

[@shondaet]

I love this posture. I even do this when I'm sleeping but if course I'm laying down. I like all the tips. I really need to practice my balance and I can do this in the kitchen cooking or whenever I stand somewhere. Great tutorial. I am enjoying these foundations videos.

[@cutemuffins3567]

Day 17 complete I decided to not have a mat this time and it was easier to balance without the cushy mat that I typically use. 12/17/2024
