A beautiful, gentle practice to begin the month of June, 2023. Thank you Adriene, thank you YWA community namaste 🙏🏽

[@michellecole4379]

I’ve been practicing with YWA for years now. Became a CYT 200 in 2020. I love her cues and how she makes Yoga just feel good. It’s not about straining to get into a pose! And for her question… I’m a turquoise butterfly with beautiful greens and purple swirled in :D

Loads to share and so happy to have a channel to share the wealth! This Christmas I gave my Dad an unlimited yoga pass and he said "The gift of health is the gift that keeps on giving!" It is so true. Keep watching and thank you!

[@heidimarx3724]

Thank you for this. This will help me a bit more.. still working with some modifications but will get there in time.

[@EJK26]

Thank you Adriene!

[@CeciliaKautzman]

LOVE 💗 | June 2, 2023 | Part 1 - I don't remember if I've seen this video before, if so it's been a long time! I always enjoy working on foundations as it always helps find alignment quicker when moving through the faster flows! Off to part 2! 🙏

[@litmint9790]

When the description says be a spiritual warrior I think of The Killers "I got soul but I'm not a soldier...". 🎶🎸🎵

[@yogawithadriene]

I really wanted to reply to you to let you know that I am STILL eating left over Xmas chocolates ;-) But I am also doing yoga practice. Every day. I'm 6 for 6 now! I thank you for your comment and wish you a happy healthy back this year! I will keep up the videos and would love to hear from you if you find yourself back on the floor in a posture ;-)

Cool video, it's funny going back in time to when you were starting out yoga with Adriene. I can see how your teaching has evolved and how much you've grown in yoga. Thank you Adriene for this lovely practice, I'm going on to Courage yoga next see you then. Namaste 💙 🙏

I feel like a warrior now ready to conquer anything 😁 Namaste 🙏🏻

[@yogawithadriene]

Yes- again, welcome to the channel and enjoy your practice and journey into teaching!! NAMASTE.

[@negapaula87]

Adrienne, thanks for this great reminder " You are never holding, waiting. No suffering! No one likes to be put on hold or to wait. Why do that in our yoga practice? In the sweet precious time we have taken for ourselves." You've been a great inspiration!!! Have found you means finding myself!! Lots of love!!

[@rosereinsch]

Loving these foundation videos. Getting back to basics in the midst of such a chaotic time is so centering when I don’t have the mental space for longer or more complicated classes. Thank you!!

[@yogawithadriene]

Thanks! I am glad to hear it. I have a lot cooking for the new year! Please stay tuned and thank you again for the feedback!

[@priscilagalvao6165]

It is so nice to have this foundational videos on the calendar! Loved it! And it is a challenging pose to do when we really try. Learned a lot of new things to pay attention to going forward. Thank you, Adriene!🙏🏻💖

[@yogawithadriene]

Thank you! Thats the plan! I am so grateful to share the practice and get inspired by someone new each day. Lets continue to inspire each other I say!!

[@yogawithadriene]

My pleasure! Welcome to the family!!!

[@andreacajuste4972]

I am a blue and yellow butterfly! Feeling good. Commit🎉d to a whole 30 and 30 days of rainbow yoga for June!

[@TheClarkeh]

[@yogawithadriene]

Shelly! Try the morning practice or try checking out each pose one at a time in our Foundations of Yoga series. Yoga is for everyone and I promise you will receive some good information as long as you are moving slow and mindful. Surprise yourself!!! xx

[@anyaforestell]

I don't have quite enough time to do the second video today, but I thought I can at least do a 7min video! I ended up adding a bit of practice on the other side too :) LOVE Day 2, June 2023 🏳‍🌈

[@Abby-wq7yl]

today’s practice done on: * 6/4/23: honestly my legs were getting tired by the end, but loved the step-by-step, helped me to be more mindful of my placement. Love day 2 🌈

[@luluvaldy9985]

Great to see such a young Adriene!!

[@jenievans3118]

Sweet! I've been following you for 2-3 years and realizing I'm getting a little to confident in yoga for my own good. So greatful for your foundations vid's, so we can go back and check 'ow selves!! This whole time I had been lifting my back heal for this pose, not realizing I should have been grounding the whole foot, esp outer foot. Nameste. Thank u!

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou for this, Adriene xxx I always find it super useful to do a foundations of yoga video before a flow class!

[@carolinahndz3946]

Lovely begining of the posture , it is good to have a reminder of being gentle with our bodies , Namaste to everyone 🍀

[@poczytamci3389]

i truly appreciate the attention to posture, so many times yogis are not quite there paying enough attention to the pure postural therapy behind yoga, truly a star you are Adriene

[@12manushi]

Wow, damn, I died. But, I stuck with it. Thank you for this detailed intro!

[@alliegunter8640]

Thank you🤍I’m a brand new yoga teacher & your videos have been an amazing reference for ideas on how to cue poses & write sequences! I absolutely love how you teach 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@theweeklynote]

I didn't realize how powerful Warrior 1 and 2 can be until I did a bunch of them this weekend. The flow I did in class this weekend had a lot of Warrior asanas, and combined with the practice I did with you that morning (Awaken Home Day-3), it woke up a lot of dormant energy that allowed me make some really courageous decision. I finally got a Yoga journal so that I don't keep bothering you with all these random thoughts (lol), but even in the journals I couldn't explain why or what I was feeling. And of course Sunday I was totally drained. It occured to me that yoga gives me the energy to do new things and make difficult decisions-and it's really empowering. I can feel great things happening this year and onwards. Namaste and thank you again Adriene 🙏

[@yogawithadriene]

Awesome!

[@GailM11]

I truly appreciate you videos. You explain things so thoroughly.

[@SoondSpaceman]

Love the level of detail in these vids. Really enjoying this channel and learning loads. Thanks!

[@winterpark02]

Excellent - Thanks for the fine details about the position of the back foot . No other video explains- everyone only focusing on the arms position . Look forward learning other poses

[@bradymusic9524]

You’re videos are fantastic! Thanks!! 🙏🏼✌🏼

[@nicolasroussel3937]

a very thorough series on the foundations of yoga

[@talonthehand]

Day 94 (part 1) of the current run - jogged for the first time in about a year last night and man my quads are burning. This was more of a challenge than I expected, I'll blame it on that. Did the video twice so I get both legs taken care of. Might wait till the evening to do the other video today, we'll see.

[@galukya1]

Glad to back to basics and this was a great stretch. Jai Namaste 🙏🏽

[@GailM11]

I have a new addiction: your videos! LOL I am watching every day. I'm in the process of becoming certified to teach yoga. Your videos help me a lot. Namaste.

[@DebbieCrall]

[@lesasutterfield5629]

Adrienne what advice do you have if I'm feeling my straight leg-knee locking or feeling sharp while still being able to maintain the posture? Sending Love from Cedar Rapids, IA.

[@dianepechacek6190]

Me too love the basics

[@seoulbookclubbarrywelsh]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@lucassousacoelho]

Number 4❤ I love this video

[@BrandonStonerAEP]

a part of my morning routine. daily!

[@yogawithadriene]

@simaster! Instead of hitting reply to your comment- I clicked remove. Sorry! Comment on your video: Warrior One Yoga Pose - Browsing around KZbin looking for treatments for a sore back (snowboarding soreness) and found your channel - I went from sitting on my sofa eating left over Xmas chocolates to doing some yoga for the first time - how did that happen? Keep up these videos they are amazing and I know how hard it must be making them. Si, Liverpool (where the Beatles are from) UK.

[@nouraloush0]

Omgg , u r so cute and I'm happy to learning foundation of yoga .. as a beginner then I will see all of ur video cuz it's make me relax and comfortable .. Love u from egypt ❤️️❤

[@HellyWelly93]

[@kennyblessed2523]

Awesome🙌🏾

[@222ofEarth]

🕉️🕉️🕉️you are a wonderful soul Adriene

[@annyoungfaulkner6459]

Blue and purple and black, a splash of yellow (my color of butterfly) :)

[@rickymagilljr.8129]

Thank you🙏🏽

[@benito758]

I want to have a yoga room in my future home and want to design it exactly like yours!

[@Nisni1]

Thanks for the instructions. What can I do to keep pressing into the outer edge if my back foot while pulling the hip of the front foot back? When I do this the pressure on my back foot all goes to the inner edge. I believe it's also because I have spread-feet and fallen arches.

[@mr__mercury]

Hi... thanks for the video... and namaste from India... 😃

[@hazelbradley2390]

Done on these dates: - 02/06/2023 🥰

[@450fps]

You are awesome!!! More vids please! You should make them more often :)

[@artgirl8055]

Oh my! That was difficult.

[@hannahbradley715]

Hi Adriene! I love your videos! I am just starting to get back into yoga, I feel that I've never truly started the process correctly so I've gone back to the beginning of your playlists and I'm sort of working backwards. Would you recommend starting with different videos? Also, I felt a lot of tightness and pain in my ankles from staying in this warrior 1 pose, is this normal or does that mean that I am doing something incorrectly? They are still sort of sore ~5 minutes after.

[@peiqi4576]

Happpy PRIDE month❤❤❤❤

[@fab3439]

fantastic

[@voodoorage2710]

Solid vid

[@mary-annv2140]

I have super super tight calves so this stretch was amazing :00

[@briannab3991]

Does your back heel/ankle have to be inline with the front heel through all the warrior poses? The only thing that changes (looking at the feet) is that you pivot on the heel (so it stays in the same place) to change the angle of your foot when transitioning from warrior 1 to 2 or vice versa?

[@Kbh982]

Hi Adrienne, namaste. I've followed your foundations series after finding your channel, your first 30 days of yoga series specifically, through a YT search for "yoga day 1". I appreciate your humor and fun while practicing and your regular discussion of what we should be noticing as beginners and how to modify for greater or less difficulty. This video felt a bit out of flow with the rest of the foundation videos. The beginning started rapidly and without the tranquil attentiveness that was evident in the rest of the series. I love it still and will just rewatch and rewind to compensate, but I wanted to give you what feedback I had. Thank you for your videos.

[@therightlevel]

.... today is July 21, 2023 and still catching up from the big hiatus.....should have did this June 2, 2023 3 of 2.... short bonus...had to do it!

[@vanitasyoga4951]

Very nice tutorial ,👍 when I am doing this pose my back leg not straight . How can I do ? Thanks mam .

[@jillr7465]

Love G. Rodrigue’s Blue Dog 💙

[@nexalf7803]

Hello teacher Adriene! I have a doubt, is the knee of the straight leg locked? or with a slight bend? Thanks for the classes!

[@kicsier464]

Excellent hillarious motivating comments 😉☝️

[@quinnmurphy7329]

I wouldn’t be a butterfly, I would be a Rosy Maple Moth, which are neon yellow and pink

[@TS-eo9uf]

*me as literal Jell-O after following along with this whole video on each leg*

[@bharathsf]

Hi Adriene. Love your foundation series. Can you please let us know once in the warrior pose, should both the heels be in 1 line or should it be in parallel lines? Thank You for the great work especially in such times. Namaskara from Southern India :)

[@georgenico8257]

You’re very chill

[@AmaTron]

Day 2 of June❤️🙏🏼 day 823

[@Shellydawn69]

I would love to get into yoga but I am always concerned about if I do the pose wrong what muscle or joint will I hurt.

[@pranshusingh3472]

Should we do it on the other side too ? To just balance it out?

[@michellerixon]

I always seem to get some pulling and minor pain in my hip (back leg). Is there an adjustment I can make to ease this?

[@loganwoodyard7741]

10/10

[@MA-vv4yp]

This was a little more difficult for me but probably because I just got done w cardio and my feet were not ready!!!

[@greendayfanatic7034]

this posture has made my right ankle really hurt. Is it because I need to work on it more or because I did it wrong?
