Wind Down Yoga | 25-Minute Calming Yoga Practice

[@yogawithadriene]

I was (super) under the weather when I shot this and I swear Benji could tell. He is an excellent nurse with a gold medal in unconditional love. We should all take extensive notes. Enjoy your practice, my darling friends. Remember, you guide the direction of your energy and you are powerful. Tell me how your practice goes in the comment section down below!

[@Catzgomeow4eva]

Today's practice was awesome! It was nice, and relaxing. My favorite kinds of practices to work on are flexibility and abs. Well, I hope you are feeling better now. You rock!

[@Prisa457]

Get well soon Adrienne

[@Thefitty]

So sorry to hear you were under the weather! You are a beam of light in our eyes :-)

[@drypotatoandjam4180]

Thank you for taking the time for today's practice. Always feeling better quieting the mind on the mat with you. I hope you feel better soon.

[@hopeforested]

My first thought was, go rest up, get better! Thank you for this video, as always.

[@crossbeniz]

Every practice I end: "Yoh, I love this woman." thank you for making me feel good!!

[@gnord360]

That's funny, I end every practice saying "Thank you sweetheart!'' (I'm old enough to be her mom).

[@Britni4795]

I've been following her videos for a while and i always end my practice grateful for her 💕

[@natrisp6809]

Ha! I always end with “thank you darling girl” xx

[@annea8322]

I just ended by saying exactly this to myself!

[@ancaclanca]

Me too!

[@elizabethharper547]

I feel like we need a playlist of Benji's cutest vids. This one really is up there! He is so bloody adorable. Namaste🙏

[@chrisandarielles]

"If you're worried if you're doing it right: you're doing it right." This is why I love Yoga with Adriene!! Thanks for helping me not to worry about whether I'm doing it right, but to find what feels good. (Also, your instructions are so good - I know I'm not going to end up doing something that feels bad or hurts me. I've become so much more self aware.)

[@kimleblanc2149]

Thank you Adrienne for continuing to supply those with limited budgets (financially and work schedules) with free online classes. You teach well, you help us find our way.....oops yes I hear it....show us all the beauty we possess inside......I sound like Whitney Houston with the The Greatest Love of All ....but seriously...thank you. You have changed me and guided me through some challenging family moments. In fact yes you have made me cry....and for that I thank you deeply. You continue to include us despite your insane and I’m sure exhausting schedule. I would love to do a live class. Does your roadshow consider Canada? Are there enough Canadians in various regions to fill a class? Specifically East Coast, like New Brunswick or Nova Scotia? Either way I’m in for the long haul. K ps annnnd oh my gawd Benji....could you be any more adorable....shheeesh what a doll

[@alyssamcmillan6690]

I couldn’t have said it better I completely agree! It’s such a gift to have her as my yoga coach!

[@beautytastesgreat3207]

Count me in for the Canadian tour! Love you, Adriene!

[@elizabethinthemaking]

I am 100% in for an East Coast class!!! I would be there in an instant :)

[@juliasmithe]

Yes indeed! Thank you for all the live you make better!

[@anne-marieschurman5997]

Oh Nova Scotia please - that would be amazing!

[@shannonkelley4254]

thank you!

[@littlespacesuit]

I cried a little with this one. "Move nice and slow; be kind." And the foot massage, as well. Had a rough day today. This helped.💙

[@RoseQueen215]

I'm sorry 😞

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

I just recommended this video to a client of mine 1. Because it is an amazing session and 2. because Benji is just killing me with his cuteness!! Thank you guys xo

[@williamb7275]

Rather tired today despite having slept nearly eight hours so that little bit of heat in the middle of practice today felt more like a flow practice. Despite the level of energy, I still followed through but do wish I was actually near bedtime instead of the workday! Renew day 13. 181 days in a row.

[@johannafrog2684]

Thank you for this wonderful practice! I had a very straining day today and after an exhausting therapy session I just wanted to fall asleep. But I hadn't done yoga today so here I am. This made me smile and also cry a little. I send love your way and to anyone reading this, Namaste ☀️

[@40asan]

💖🙏

[@williamb7275]

Quite relaxing. I am not under the weather but Adriene practicing here is a reminder that we can still make it to the mat with allergies or when we are not feeling our best. Nourish day 14. 406 days in a row.

[@lasusong8121]

just what the doctor ordered after a challenging day at the ol' virtual office... thank you for connecting: me to my body, my body to the earth, and the earth with all the people practicing together! 🙏 you're simply the best, adriene!

[@Margrietje]

Yes! Namasté to all the people who are going to do this practice at the same time ❤️❤️❤️

[@Thefitty]

Namaste maegriet!

[@moederschapsyoga]

Margrietje namaste!! Are you from Holland too? Xx Linda

[@Margrietje]

Yogavlogger Jaa! :)

[@Thefitty]

@@moederschapsyoga I'm from Canada!

[@moederschapsyoga]

Oh wow...I was in Canada this summer, my brother and his family live in Nova Scotia. Where do you live?

[@PurrfectPurritoMeow]

Happy Monday or Tuesday, everyone! Sending y’all lots of love ❤️ Thanks Adrienne

[@holiday197]

These videos are extremely helpful in managing my anxiety and stress. I'd love to see Adrienne do 30-60 minute videos with some time for extended Shavanasa. I also attend a Yoga Class each week and love doing Shavanasa where we bring our attention and awareness to every part of our body (toes, fingers, left thigh, right thigh etc). It would really be the cherry on top of these videos.

[@stephella]

Holiday197 she has some of this on her membership :)

[@tovavikstrom202]

29.6.2019. Just want to let it be known, that after a long period of mental health problems, today I was truly happy. This practice was the perfect way to end the day. Thank you for this great practice, Adriene!

[@shenphotography__]

I've restarted this video probably 10 times now just to watch Benji's lil face... HE MELTS MY HEART!!!!

[@traciking5835]

I was going to comment the same thing. So cute, and funny!

[@bran3eyedraven840]

same here

[@MadelynsUniverse]

me to!

[@noodles99999]

LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one. He looks so saddd

[@HappyFarmsLa]

one of my favorites. tip: double yoga mat under you knee if it hurts in the position. Sharing this one, the singing always makes me smile !

[@blubirbeed4172]

Here for NOURISH! This is exactly what I needed. My whole body has been so sore, and this brought me a little more ease. Thank you 🖤

[@CKMcCloud]

This had everything I love: Adriene's sense of humor, Benji's cuteness, some great twists, and total unwinding!

[@julesthomas6363]

I am following February’s kiss practices and I see today is ‘wind down’ . Initially thought I need to do this later but after such a stressful day yesterday in work I decided to do it before going to work, to help me start a fresh this morning. Well it’s worked and I feel completely relaxed and I feel like yesterday’s drama has been put behind me and today is a brand new day... and breathe thank you 🙏

[@PijaSvetec]

Thank you Adriene 🤍

[@dansalamone8217]

Adriene I wish I could thank you personally but this will have to do. So thank you so much your channel has changed my life . I haven’t missed a day of yoga in 2 months now. I did “Home” now I’m doing “Dedicate” and also your February calendar. You have the most amazing personality. I wish you and Benji happiness.

[@riomaeblanco1281]

It is not always about being harder, faster, and stronger just to look better on the outside but rather being mindful of your own sensations and finding what feels good from within 💗 Thank you so much Adriene and namaste 🙏🏻✨

[@Elzie2244]

I can't help but smile every time you say 'smile' during your videos. You are a true inspiration. Namaste 🙏

[@chiguru99]

good night 11:47pm on a rainy Sunday night from my bedroom in india!my heart is heavy and the beginnings of a lump fills my throat. i will have a challenging week ahead with college exams and a family member's surgery. im truly grateful for this practice. for yoga. for adriene.

[@sarahrubia22]

One day late, but I'm here. I chose to do some practices on my own, and some days I'll be following a KISS practice. The seed from Home is sprouting, even when I don't feel like showing up on the mat, I take a moment, seat here and suddenly I have (and need) to do it. That's so much for a change. Namaste.

[@theresaolszak8668]

Thank you Adrianne for all you do to bring these yoga videos to the world. ❤️

[@JaymeeT_]

ending the practice and tearing up…I did not think I could do it. But I did. The hardest part really is showing up. Thank you so much, Adriene, for having been one of the things I could hold on to during the past 3 years. Sometimes I dont know where I would be without your videos. To anyone reading this; you can do it. I believe in you❤

[@hannahs1553]

This was a welcome practice today during the challenging second wave of the pandemic. I found myself a little emotional at the end, just breathing and thanking myself for showing up on the mat. This community is wonderful ❤️

[@Vardagaladhiel]

I come back to this practice again and again when I am trying to find some peace, and it hasn’t let me down yet! Things are tough right now as we go through the motions after my mother died a few months ago, but yoga does help. Sending peace and good vibes to everyone practicing 🙏

[@nickshergar]

My three favourite things..... Yoga with Adrienne, Adriene and BENJI !!! That smile just starts the day great 😀👍 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS LESSON :)

[@annapos7195]

Thank you Adrienne I love your bedtime yoga videos. I often suffer from insomnia so this video really helps me fall into a nice deep sleep

[@valeried7204]

Two weeks ago I decided to start doing daily yoga to take care of myself. It’s something I’ve always loved but haven’t done consistently. I’ve watched dozens of videos but this is BY far my favorite I have found! Gives me that little bit of core workout but still brings total peace. Somehow, you remind me to take a breath, rotate my hip etc EXACTLY when I need it every single time! The things you say about letting things from the day go speak so strongly to me as well. You are just an incredible instructor. So intuitive to the needs of those practicing. ❤️

[@ErzsCal]

Thank you Adriene🌷 Day 28 Joy 😊 Namaste 🙏🏻

[@Twilightfan1013]

Another couple of days without your yoga as my neck was sooo sore and got the green light 4 yoga!!! I missed it so much! Sooo, i m back Babyyy!!! Sooo, this theme week is perfect!!! Rest!!!👻😺🤩 we allll so neeed this at time to restore our Energy!!! Thksss Ad!!!xxx

[@elizabethj1982]

sometimes yoga is the only way to make all of my thoughts a bit softer and less overwhelming - thank you adriene

[@sallycheng4687]

Thank you again Adriene! At the point when I looked at my feet and said "I love you" I got a bit teary. Suddenly I realised I should have taken care of my body more and be responsible to my body. Love ourselves by eating better and be more active! Thank you for your reminder! Lots of love!

[@meghabisht3392]

You have your beautiful to connect in every single video. I am grateful that I found yoga with you sweetness! Namaste!

[@helmijarvinen]

I felt frustrated after a sport performance but I managed to think it through and calm down on the mat. Now I remember that it's okay to feel frustrated. I'm aiming to be honest and humble to learn from the mistakes that frustrate me and after that I'll just move on. Now that I've learned the lesson, it's more productive to just move on and not be so hard on myself. I'm so lucky in the grand scheme of things. Lots of gratitude for you, Adriene and the whole YWA community. You inspire me to be the best version of myself❤

[@mariarosarioargote7551]

Hi, Ms. Adriene! I am still guided by your videos depending on mood or occassion. Even if the uploads are years ago, I hope you are still creating content. You helped me in practice and in life. Thank you very much.

[@rachv8577]

fastest 25 min of my life- lovely practice, I feel ready for bed now

[@chloepemberton7325]

I agree!

[@msmiyuki]

THANK YOU Adriene. You are my go-to exercise/therapy as a person long recovering from an eating disorder. Your yoga is a perfect solution to needing to stay active without triggering thoughts to over exercise. THANK YOU.

[@gemmagem257]

Benjis face at the begging is priceless 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@auraaguilar9839]

Benji was so adorable in this - looking at you like you're the best thing to ever happen to him! I love this video and would love more 15-25 min short wind down/ bedtime videos like these!

[@sofiealbrecht]

A great wind down practice to start the day! Namaste!

[@ellenrose2855]

I know I was becoming relaxed throughout based on the number of times I farted. And it doesn't echo in my own room the way it does in a studio....!! Thank you

[@Na.29]

Sometimes you only notice that you're not feeling to well once you do yoga, and opening your palms to the sky feels way too vulnerable

[@Alexis84DE]

I´ve read so many comments where people have shared how they cry during your excercises - today it finally happend to me too. When you said this is your moment, love yourself I just broke down. And then again when you said you are awesome for commiting to this excercise. In 36 years no one has ever told me I am awesome. I totally lost it when you said that. thank you so much for your positive encouragement, this video was great for my body but what my soul just experienced is beyond words

[@rosemarylemos81]

Continuing to renew. Thank you both for a great practice. Pollen count is high here in England today!

[@DimitrisChrrr]

I just wanted to lay in Savasana at the beginning of the practice, but over the course of it, I felt relaxed and amazing!! Ended up finishing with Savasana, and I enjoyed the whole practice so much

[@natashamakhdoomi3666]

Nourish day 14, great practice with gentle stretches, I wish I had done it in the morning but I had no time so postponed it for the afternoon and I think it still worked for me! It is interesting that doing yoga at differnt times of the day has different effects; I remember doing this for the first time was in the morning and it was quite enegizing while now I feel more relaxed to be prepared to go to bed earlier!❤

[@lisadietzel]

Adriene bless you for being continuously awesome!! I use your classes at least once a week and I am so thankful!

[@amandaolivia2915]

Benji is so cuuute!!

[@Robenjb]

Considering I have borderline personality disorder, you have been there for me for more than 3 years, I wish this message could reach you, to let you know how much I appreciate your existence in this lifetime, I might be a bit dramatic, probably cause your videos and your emails and your lessons have helped me a lot, you are my mentor ❤️ please never stop existing

[@ellenp.4873]

Good morning everyone (yes, it's early morning here....turns out this is also a lovely wake up practice!). Stretchy, loving, compassionate movement/self care works whenever we make time for it, yes? Enjoy.

[@kajaingolic9210]

KISS DAY 5 (36): Benji is so cute! Really handsome boy and I can't belive how calm and peaceful he is. Also loved the practice. Right now I am studying for exam of a really hard subject in collage and winding down is exacly what I need. Namaste 🙏🏻

[@analiceras1584]

I remember the first time I was following one of your practices and you said “Massage your feet”. I was like...ok awkward lol Now, 2 months after, and after practicing yoga with you almost every day, the feet massage has become one of my favorite parts. Self-love always feels good! Thank you for all and for this practice. Lots of love!

[@nathanbrand4607]

I've done this flow more than once now and I always seem to come back to it when I really need it the universe brings it back around I've been going through so real toughness lately but I know yoga always has my back and I'm always safe on my mat no matter what's going on just to take that bit of time and let it All Fall away Namaste 🙏

[@djcsant]

Thank you Adrienne for reminding myself to say 'i love you' 'cause for a moment I dont know what that means and I am reminded that its those little things like massaging my own feet. I am so grateful and glad that I am still practicing with you until this day. Namaste 🙏💖

[@lizbeardmore2435]

I saved this for bedtime, which was perfect. Sorry you were feeling poorly. Thank you Adriene xx Namaste 💟

[@ermaairoso]

I love you Adrienne!! You always make me feel amazing 🤍, thank you.

[@hajerabegum9325]

Been feeling very anxious and stressed lately, covid and work related. This yoga session helped to make me feel better. You have been my saviour throughout the pandemic. Thank you

[@JoanneKatzman]

Nourish Day 14: Should I follow the Wind Down Yoga video first thing in the morning? I wondered. Yes! Today is a dark, gloomy day here in upstate New York. I found this practice to be a gentle, relaxing way to start my day. Enjoy!

[@sarakennelty4914]

enjoyable in the middle of a cold western PA day as well. Keep warm and cozy today!

[@jakeevans6]

I'm pretty new to yoga, but your videos have been mad helpful. My favorite aspect is the act of telling yourself I love you. And thanking yourself. It's open my mind to a whole different aspect of love and thankfulness. So, thank you for that.

[@connierodgers4659]

Awesome, as always. Thank you Adriene :)

[@GoddessLinda1]

9:53 pm Thursday 1/14/21 THANK YOU for this! I see the potential to realign and heal my skeleton, including joints. Yoga is going to save my life and keep me young. Many, many thanks, Adrienne and Benji!

[@moederschapsyoga]

Thanks Adriene...I love the way you teach!! I find you a beautiful, friendly and sweet person. Proud of you as woman to woman!! Keep up the good work!! Love, Linda

[@janedoe9940]

Dear lovely Adriene, your practices have brought me so much peace, love and personal power! Please, take the time to take care of yourself. Get this throat checked, find out what your body wants from you and just make it healthy and happy. Our body is incredibly wise and sometimes it makes us go trough rough times, just to teach us something or even to protect us from something. I have a nasty chronicle illness, I spend a lot of time around doctors and I know it sucks, but sometimes it's the only thing that helps. So please, don't ignore whatever is going on, make sure you do what it needs to be done and don't worry if you need to rest - the connection you have with us, the people who you really really inspire will remain. Thank you so much for this lovely practice and tons of kisses for Benji!

[@yogawithadriene]

Thank you, my sweet friend. xo

[@Catzgomeow4eva]

Hi, Adriene! I have been following your videos since January of this year, and I have seen a huge difference on my body! You are so awesome, and thank you for making these videos! I will continue to follow your videos for a very long time! ❤

[@elizatipping1904]

For some reason, I only just 'liked' this one but I have used it a bunch of times to wind down. It's AMAZING. Thank you Adriene & Benji! X

[@SixtineLys]

As always, just what I needed

[@debjacobson9800]

Thank you Adriene 🧘🏼‍♀️

[@JoyAileen]

[@fletcherneil954]

she really said "smile" and my ass had to burst into joyous tears. this channel is the best part of my daily routine thank you so much!!

[@oliviafinkart]

i love practicing videos with my airpods in because i can hear adriene's heart beating. :)

[@lizalove91]

Can I just say that I love your goofy sense of humor 🥰this is why you’re my favorite! You don’t take yourself too seriously and it’s so refreshing

[@aleksandrasyrenka8968]

Benji! Best teacher

[@TayIllustrates]

I just submitted my last few assignments for the semester, time for a nice break, perfect yoga practice to wind down after today, after this semester and head into a peaceful holiday ❤️🙏

[@alessiacucit2948]

Awesome for Stretching and Relax!!! Done in these days: -13th November 2021: ✅

[@alexandraduman1290]

I was doing this before the pandemic and I felt awesome. Now, with the pandemic Yoga with Adriene, it's just perfect!

[@AL-eg3xo]

When u said reach out to shake your dogs hand I shook my kittens hand 😹 hehe

[@pskychic2244]

adrienne you are by far the best thing i've come across thank you for radiating so much light and making everyone feel s close to you, you are truly a gift to us all

[@lounaannajung4454]

*KISS - Day 5 :* Night I had one of the weirdest experiences today. I've always had irregular periods. I don't take medications and I have no other symptoms but my periods have been irregular since what seems like forever. It's my second month of normal~ish cycles. Now the weird part is that I just knew that I'll be having my period in an hour. Just like that! No real perceptible cramps or the usual crying 2 days before or anything crazy. I was just Conscious? I'll be having my period in a couple of hours. It was so fascinating tbh. And I'd like to think that this is thanks to my regular Yoga practice and the serious work I'm doing to be more Intentional and conscious lately! I'm feeling really magical (?) 😂 Thank you teacher for today's awesome practice 🙏 Namaste from Algeria 🇩🇿 ☮️❤️🍦

[@lauramcmahon4593]

Fab practice and just what I needed tonight as I was tired and stiff. Namaste Adriene, Benji and fellow yogis around the world x

[@januaryeliot6958]

omg benjiii

[@hollyjaneward1224]

I can't yoga any other way, I just find what feels good now lol ❤️ thank you sista

[@riomaeblanco1281]

Breathe in love 🥰 Thank you Adriene and namaste 🙏🏻✨

[@rosequartzanna1118]

I was on my feet all day, exhausted and wired after work. 20 mins with you and I'm ready to melt into a yummy sleep. Thank you...namaste.

[@TheMariavb89]

LOL’d at “boys to men, bass, ‘hey baby’” 🤣🤣🤣

[@danielpotter9629]

stretchy, relaxing winding down yoga - exactly what I needed. I often do yoga at the end of big days, and I'm sure others do, so I'm surprised to see that there are not more yoga videos with a similar vibe

[@jholmie6016]

this was a delight

[@bethpshanahan4212]

AWWWW I love the sweet look Benji gives Adriene at the end of the intro! I love to do the yoga vids after she got him that include Benji!

[@AnnaHogendoorn]

Post home 30 days catch up going great! Used this video in the morning and made my own choices, felt absolutely fabulous!

[@lealea6020]

Thank you this was a great late night practice for me 😊

[@MizzBooSongz]

Question, Have you ever thought of doing a night time yoga monthly calendar? Also day 5 of #ywakiss done! Still working on spreading my fingers.

[@paratenichost348]

I made my own- super easy to do and wonderful to dip into when you need a more cosy practice (tacito yoga). Before the 30 day challenge, I was more or less working from little playlists that made while scrolling through Adriene's gagillion-video library. 😉😄

[@emijolye]

Good idea! I think people around the world would need a month of smooth yoga ❤️

[@Lori7325]

my seventh day of yoga. Your instruction is amazing and smooth and as a beginner makes everything seem easier. Thank you Adriene

[@ALICE-ip9be]

Adriene: 'Hey baby' Me: laughing into my crotch 😂 LOVE YOU xxxx

[@melissas3274]

Omg the mood Benji’s in @ intro😍 wind down goals🙏🏻

[@ClanImprobable]

Perfect for ending the week!

[@anstihultfred]

I been following you for over a year now and you make me laugh trough all videos. I love that you make yoga not to serious! In this video I started crying when you said: massage your feet and say I love you. We all should say that to ourselves more often!! Thank YOU!!!!
