Yoga For Beginners - The Basics - Yoga With Adriene

[@lydiaolmo424]

I am sixty-four, diabetic, with heart disease, low blood pressure and I smoke. After getting clearance from my doctors, I started your lessons. In one month , I showed a remarkable amount of progress. I love that you incorporate mind, body and soul in your teachings. I smoke a lot less, I am off low pressure medication and I feel so much better. I tried other programs but I kept coming back to your videos. You are a godsend. Namaste.

[@merlin8046]

How are you doing now?

[@andreainks9542]

My mom is your age and diabetic, also a smoker. I am BEGGING her to try yoga, especially with Adriene who I adore. Her doctor also recommended it. I am sending her your comment, thank you! I hope you're doing well

[@anthonjonsson2651]

I used to smoke marijuana which is terrible for breathing. I constantly coughed up phlegm. The soul is very important to take care of as when you age it is thought that we are not supposed to be happy anymore.

[@danielbrylka2228]

I did this practice in March at the beginning of the lockdown and I barely could make any poses and I ended up completely destroyed. Today, after not having missed a single day since then in the mat, I finished everything without a problem. Progress is clear. So practice, practice, practice. Thank you for your help, Adriene and thanks to this wonderful community. 🙏

[@mdforbes500]

After doing yoga with Adriene on a daily basis for 3 years, I love it when this video comes up in her monthly playlists. I have to say it is one of her best. I would even make it my welcome page video, since it exemplifies the essence and soul of yoga. You are one of the best teachers I have ever come across, thank you and thank Benji. I hope he got his yoga in as well. Namaste 🙏🏻

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

Greetings Malcolm! I'm glad this is a great practice for you. I had to sub it for "Yoga for When You're feeling Sore." I had an intense workout yesterday. I will certainly check this one out too. Everyone speaks highly of it. Nice to meet you. Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤🦋

[@natscott005]

Hi Melanie I am looking to try doing the yoga moves in this video today. I saw that you've been doing it every day for 3 years. I was just wondering, did you find doing yoga hard at first? Natalie

[@VidGameStory]

I really appreciate how you accommodate absolute beginners. I am so inflexible, I have been afraid to even start yoga, which is a weird catch-22, since I obviously need it. The fact that you understand this, and say so up front, makes a huge difference. Thank you!

[@lisapolke918]

I've been doing yoga with Adrienne for 13 days now and I've never found any type of exercise enjoyable. Now I find myself doing yoga in the mornings and evenings and looking forward to it! Thanks so much Adrienne! Peace, love and happiness!

[@Z1nny]

Hope you're doing much better. ❤

[@aname4700]

I just finished the video. I've never done yoga before and I'm really out of shape in general. There were many moments during the video in which I thought "I can't do this" and I had to take quick breaks when my body couldn't hold me anymore, or when my hands, wrists, toes etc hurt too much. There was a point in which I felt tears burning in my eyes because I felt so defeated and ashamed. But I kept pushing through. And I did it. And it felt SO GREAT. And at the end, during the prayer in the final position, I felt so full of light and love that I could feel the tears burning in my eyes again, but this time they were tears of happiness. Thank you Adriene, thank you. Namaste

[@Oyuki-Mayonesa]

Lol I love your profile picture 🤗

[@mariahcanton8]

These beginner practices always get me! There's so much holding and just staying in the pose while you explain them, not the usual moving through. thanks for another humbling practice!

[@livemusicloverLyn]

I acknowledge how awesome Benji is - Namaste

[@joegan9160]

I’ve only recently started practicing yoga with Adriene during this difficult time and as I’m a senior I’ve found the more gentle practices absolutely wonderful to help keep me flexible and mobile. More please. Sending Adriene peace and love and wishing you and your loved ones keep well and safe at this time.

[@williamb7275]

With the heat and a very late start to the day, I was about to pass this up for a shorter video. But I decided not to and am glad I did. Energize day 26. 630 days in a row.

[@bumblemae]

day 26 of energize - june 2022. I found myself frustrated with the pace of this video and lacking in my usual strength since I decided to up my weightlifting reps today, but at the end I was able to discover gratitude for my body and a bit of lightheartedness. just because I'm not technically a "beginner" doesn't mean I need to take my practice so seriously all of the time. I smiled, laughed when I lost my balance, and tapped into some self love. happy to be taking care of the mind and body today. namaste 💝

[@nanners3333]

Hi, I'm a high school student who is being buried in stress and anxiety, so I've decided to try yoga! I'm hoping this will definitely help me calm down! Thank you!

[@ohme1kanoby]

seriously it helps! I have also been suffering from anxiety. I have a mantra that i say when im stuck in anxiety "out of my head and onto my mat" Hope you find your way x love and light

[@jossb]

Definitely, you chose well! Yoga will not only help you out managing your weight and shape your body, it also helps you distress and relief tension, boosts immunity and overall be a happier person! Watch this video for all the details : goo.gl/te5oNl

[@Caitibaer]

I wish you luck. High school is a really stressful time - as much from social situations as from the academic side of things. Yoga should help a lot and just remember to take things one step at a time. Namaste ❤️

I’m encouraging my Granddaughters to please try yoga. They , too, are stressed and busy! I’m happy for you young lady!

[@lydiaolmo424]

You have picked a great instructor for learning yoga. High school is very stressful in all aspects. I felt an improvement in just a few days. Namaste.

[@GoochGrease]

Man, I used this video years ago around 2013, and I worked my way up to the intermediate videos, combined those with weight lifting and cycling and became my healthiest happiest self. I fell in love, became a foodie, had kids, and stopped practicing. I’m here now shaking and struggling starting all over; but this video really brings me back to a time when I felt sure of myself. I’m not as sure anymore, might be age, might be life; but damn am I optimistic again. Working to get rid of pains, and gain stamina and flexibility again to give my kids the best version of myself. I’m sorry to say I let myself go, but I am happy to commit to starting again.

[@murielkc]

I'm close to 60 with MS and I come back to this and the other beginners practice time and time again. It's helped me get some of my strength back, and feel good about myself and my commitment to Yoga. It feeds me, mind body & soul. Namaste Adriene!

[@No1Particular]

A GENUINELY SLOW VIDEO, Many many thanks for this much needed reprieve from the often over-stimulated and rushed feeling practices that seem so prevalent in KZbin yoga culture (at least in the videos by and for westerners).

[@Abby-wq7yl]

today’s practice done on: * 6/26/22: i did it! i took the whole 40 min for myself, I allowed myself to feel, and did this practice for me. Beginner doesn’t always mean easy. energize day 26 ⚡️

[@bhaminilakshminarayan1812]

This practice was a great reminder that the most exciting postures in yoga are the ones that seem the most simple. Today I caught sight of myself in the mirror doing a halfway-lift, and I was thrilled at how FLAT my back was! It wasn't something I was consciously working towards because I couldn't imagine the extent of the progress possible in such a simple shape. It's not king pigeon or crow or something else that looks Instagram-able, but it's these kinds of postures that actually show you how hard work on your foundations can give you so much room to grow into being better at yoga - not just better at shapes. Thank you Adriene

[@amandaservaty934]

Yes this is so true I love Adrienne

[@MiloMcLaughlin]

This is where I started. Now it’s where I start again 🙏

[@samdalton2520]

Still incredibly impressed with you Adriene. I've only been practising yoga from your videos for 6 months now, having broken my back a year ago and using yoga as pain relief and strength building. But I have to say you have such a wonderful way of explaining the techniques and body awareness it blows my mind. Thanks so much, practising yoga with you has made my body feel 95% better :)

[@ringisi9022]

It's good to renew upon the basics... slowing down, feeling the movement, breathing-breathing-breathing. Thank you.

[@mjwallyabc123]

I know yoga isn't about perfection, yet these videos are perfect for getting acquainted with yoga practice!

[@SharonFlynn]

Energise, day 26. June 2022. This was a timely opportunity for me to focus on the basics and really embody the postures. The 40 minutes felt almost short. But now I feel calm and ready for the day ahead.

[@CaroleeFisher-oh6vm]

I feel silly admitting this, but I am sitting at my WFH desk watching this video...I did what I could from my chair and listened to the teaching. Adrienne is a very good instructor and I am so happy that I saw her on Russel Brand's channel. This may be what I need to cope with my horrendous menopause symptoms. Thank you for sharing, Adrienne ❤❤

[@jraelelk2328]

I am 70 fit but totally tight and not limber. These videos are literally changing my life. I have been following these videos a few times a week and I can’t believe my progress. Thank you Adrienne

[@frankthomas8782]

I'm on day 17 and I'm noticing immediate improvements with my alignment which has helped to negate my pain. Having bad posture was killing me! But what I've gained the most is the mindfulness and awareness when I step away from the mat. Adriene does a fantastic job at helping you feel confident with where you are but also helps you grow the poses in a way that is comfortable. Yoga has changed my life for the better! Thank you Adriene.

[@deanna4814]

I'm so glad we found you. I have four kids ,two with autism and my 13 year-old has just discovered she has scoliosis so we have decided to do yoga as a family. You have really help us get started. Thank you

[@brendamartin2021]

No kidding........after the first time doing this video I felt completely different. My posture had changed, my knees didn't hurt, I literally felt taller and knew I was breathing deeper. I've done this video four times now and each time I feel stronger and my balance improves. My husband told me I was too old to do yoga. I'm 73 and I love it. Thank you so very very much. Can't wait to try new workouts. You're amazing and a very generous human being. ❤😊 much love to you. Brenda

Keep returning to this one. Can't believe how much I've grown since coming across this video about four years ago, especially my confidence. Thank you Adriene. xx

[@HK-yb6by]

Hi, Yoga With Adriene has been a revelation:). I am learning not just about health and movement, but also about 'being'. I had assumed I was an open person, but realise that I was actually very self protective (for many reasons) and the practice is teaching me to open up. I hadn't expected that there would be a 'spiritual' and emotional learning and am very grateful for the experience. Thank you Adriene, hugely. Lots of love to all.

[@Everymanspeaks]

ENERGIZE Day 26. Thank you Adriene!

[@braydenmensch1255]

Adriene, I don’t know quite what to say. I’ll start with I am 14 years old and I ached every single day. My back, knees, neck, everything! Every Chiropractor on the face of this earth couldn’t help me. I came across your KZbin channel just today at 3 am. I decided to give one of your beginner videos (this one) a try. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this good. I am going to watch more videos immediately after I’m done writing this comment. I wish I could describe the happiness this has brought me. P.S. I absolutely Love your fur baby!

[@selenaschanging277]

Girl, I can't thank you enough for your videos! I'm not exaggerating when I say you've saved my life. I'd given up on trying to relieve my back pain and thought that was it for me at 45. I searched for yoga videos and found most of the teachers were too serious or too marshmellowy. (is that a word?) They didn't make me want to come to the mat like you do and I ended up quitting. I'm not sure what made me look again(spirit guide)but I did and found you! Anyway, you're an angel and I thank God for you Adriene! I look forward to growing my practice with you and wish you much success. PS I have my chiropractor recommending you to everyone! I wish you much success, you deserve it!

[@alva2004]

Even as a yogi who practices daily, going back to the basics is extremely important and feels so nice! There's always something new to discover in the same good ol' poses.

Well today was my first time ever trying yoga! I finished all 41 minutes and 54 seconds.

I'm on my 3rd yoga practice with Adriene and I already feel a difference! No, I'm not perfect at transitioning or holding poses, but my mind is calmer and clearer during practice, and I find myself being kinder towards my own body when I'm struggling with a pose.

[@denisetessman5935]

Thank you Adriene! I’m a preschool director and also 65. My days are always so busy and loud and all of a sudden it’s come to a screeching halt! I needed more grounding and so I’ve been following you for several weeks now. You have helped tremendously. I could tell how tight my whole body was from inactivity and stress. You’re awesome and more engaging than anyone else I’ve found . Also, I love Benji! When we get back to work, and who knows when that will be, I will stay on my yoga path with you! Namaste

Truly if we plant a habit of practicing even in some difficult moments we will see time to get in the mat and just do it. I am glad I have this discipline now. Benjie is still young and playful in this video 😆 😍🥰😍🥰 Thank you Adriene, happy to see young Benjie with you today 😀 Keep practicing everyone Namaste 🙏🏼

I am enjoying revisiting the beginner lessons. First because a long bout of mild vertigo has curtailed my yoga journey, although I have been working in some forms on a regular basis when I am able. Second because it has been good to be reminded to pay attention to the basics. So thank you!

[@valeriegonzalez413]

I cannot thank you enough for this, I’ve followed you for a while now but I’ve been dealing with depression and was never motivated enough to begin but today I finally said you know what I’m going to start taking care of myself and selected this video to start with. I really appreciate everything you have to say, I really felt as though you were speaking to me it was awesome! I also very much appreciate benji being a part of this! The time flew by and I feel very happy and open and positive after this and am most definitely going to continue because I haven’t felt this way in a very long time. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@LittleMissArtsyFace]

I can't tell you what a blessing these videos have been. Between work and motherhood, it feels impossible to carve out time for myself without distractions. The first three times I did this video, my toddler was running circles around me, or my cat was wanting to curl up in the middle of my mat - there was always something going on. It was great to see Adriene's dog milling around, because it's real! It was encouraging to see that you don't need a serene sound proof yoga studio at home to be able to get some time in for your practice. Thank you Adriene (and Benji)!

You are amazing not only because your videos are free and so diverse but because in every one I've watched so far I see how deeply you care about yoga and people and how much time and space you give us to evolve. I've been doing yoga with your help for two weeks now and I still struggle (I have some tenton problems due to a syndrome I have) but I see improvement and every time with your help I feel empowered and with more zeal to continue despite difficulties.

I still don’t have the mobility I’d like to have but I can already see small differences, such as an ease in my knee pain. Thank you so much for making yoga feel accessible. I genuinely think this is changing my life. And I look forward to progressing with your guidance.

When I started yoga I use to hate savasana, because I would always feel back pain and I really thought that I wouldn't be able to do yoga since I couldn't even do savasana. Now... After some months with daily practice, every time I'll go to savasana I just feel so proud of myself for not giving up, I'm happier with savasana than any other asana hahaha because it really reminds me from where I started

[@SasskiF]

Really loving your Beginner Series Adriene. I myself am not a beginner, but my journey with yoga has been sporadic and mixed. Much of it has been self taught as I simply had no other options at the time and place where I practised. (Lessons would be too far away, or they would only be available while I was working) I find these foundational videos extremely helpful in going back to the basics, and rediscovering or even finding what I missed. I remember a year ago I spent a week doing nothing but the worrier poses and trying to find the right alignment in them. Then I watch these videos and you say, "Nee over heel, front toe forward, back toe to the front corner of your mat. Skies, not tight-rope." All I could think was, damn, I needed to hear that then. Especially the part about the skies. It would have saved me a lot of time. Anyway, all I'm really trying to say is, I appreciate every single one of your videos and your attention to detail as you impart your knowledge to us. You're definitely the best yoga teacher I've ever come across, physically, or virtually.

[@Devi1ish0ne]

Thank you for this, i am recovering from having breast reduction surgery and I have to relearn how to sit up with good posture. This helps a lot. I also have dogs, cats and ferrets who want to help me lol so its nice to know I'm not the only one with animal helpers

No matter how many months go by, the beginners practices are always some of my favorites. I always break a sweat, and not because of lack of improvement, but simply the return to integrity that seems to slip away once in a while. Loved this one, thanks adriene ☺️💜

[@joni4taz]

That Benji though. I could just love him up. Such a cool pooch. Good to do a practice like this every now and again. Slower more mindful movements are more difficult than just cranking into a posture.

[@zenaverros125]

Yoga with Adriene is the only video yoga I trust. I had been doing a few years of yoga before Covid 19 hit and was in excellent shape. I was skiing better than any year before. Slowly though I began to stop the yoga thinking hiking would take it's place. What a mistake. Now I am having back pain and have lost so much strength. Fortunately, KZbin and Yoga with Adriene is still here to help me begin again. She is one instructor that I truly trust to keep me safe when I'm so out of shape and out of the yoga practice. I'm thrilled to be back again.

[@jodiescookin1]

Omg! This was exactly what I needed! I am brand spanking new to the idea of yoga, I was thinking that I could not do it like all these videos show and I found this video! Not only was it not intimidating, but it was really helpful to be patient with myself in this new process. I have to laugh because I am following along with this video while my hundred pound old English bulldog is sniffing at me, grunting at me trying to lay on top of me and giving me kisses...When I saw how casual you were with Benji and that he could be in the room with you I felt right at home. I cannot thank you enough for this helpful video

[@shelbykinsGO]

Greetings Adriene, I wanted to take my time and send my thanks to you for sharing your videos. As I've posted on my Facebook before, I didn't know what yoga really meant until I started watching your videos. I thought my body wasn't designed for yoga or that I had to be able to make pretzel shapes in order to join. To my surprise, I've learned that yoga allows us to reconnect our body and spirit while also gaining strength and flexibility. Through the hustle and bustle that's life, my new practice allows me to find peace within. A peace that's new to me and refreshing as I'm still learning the basics of yoga. Namaste, dear.

...I started practicing meditation with Adriene in July for many of reasons. Really just wanted to find some peace in a world that's gone mad. The benefits were felt immediately and so I kept returning to the mat. Every morning. One day a time. Beginning with the morning 7 minute meditation video I found on KZbin and my practice has grown from there. Now I'm introducing beginners Yoga into it. Thank you Adriene for sharing your wisdom and yoga insights!!. I look forward to this part of my day, every day.

Needs more Benji! Worked out with my own cattle dog. She enjoyed seeing yours.

[@remymill]

I've been doing yoga on and off for 5 years now. This video was a great avenue to calibrate MY personal practice. Even for someone who's had years of yoga, it's good to return to the basics and see your true self. Thanks again, Adriene.

Adriene, I found your channel when I decided to start doing yoga again about 3 weeks ago and i absolutely love your channel! I love your cute sense of humor and how relaxing your voice is. My cat leo does yoga with me too like benji lol I have done your back pain video almost everyday since i started and added the deep stretch into it and i gotta say I feel so much better. Thank you for your channel

[@mrmuttley]

Benjii is clearly being his best self in this vid. Thanks for the videos and I look forward to the rest of your training.

[@San-nr9ji]

thank you,thank you, thank you! I love how you say "I got your back" twice in this video. you definitely make me ,a newbie, feel welcomed and empowered!

[@junegirl9378]

Adrienne! According to the comments and likes I've reviewed, you seem to be a rock star! I'm fairly new to yoga and the range of encouraging and positive endorsements toward your way of sharing the knowledge that you've acquired, I really look forward to having you as my new and primary spiritual teacher. Thank you so much!

[@haylaebay]

Did this whole practice today, super proud of myself! I thought I definitely wouldn't do the whole thing but you said to set the intention to finish and it was over before I even noticed. I started before with your foundations of cat/cow and downward dog so I was already warm and mindful of the important parts of those. I'm planning on doing at least SOMETHING everyday and you're so gentle so I'll def try another one of your beginner videos, maybe not as long next time. Thank you! I know you won't see this comment, I'm a few years late to the show, haha.

Blessed Beloved Beauties! I substituted Day -26 Energize Journey for Yoga for When you're feeling sore which really lubricated my muscles 💪🏾 after an intense workout 24 hours ago. I'm pumped. Best wishes with this practice. Perhaps I will return. Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋

[@alexducey9851]

I just did yoga for the first time to this video, and am immediately certain that this needs to become a daily thing. My whole body felt cramped (I'm a little sick, which usually makes my muscles sore), and after this routine, I feel like my cold progressed 48 hours into the recovery phase. I am a deeply incredulous person, so I hadn't put much stock in yoga until now. I think the mystical language turned me off. But I can't argue with empirical evidence, and this worked wonders for my day. It was also easy to follow along with your pace, which is super important. I tried another video series before this, but I couldn't make it 5 minutes in due to the inundation of instruction. You're very adept at teaching, and I look forward to learning more from your videos. Have a lovely day, Adriene. P.S Give the pupper pats for me, Benji is a good boy.

I'm soon to be 70 yrs young. I've had a knee replacement & 2 major spine fusions w road as long as 12" from the top of the spine to the bottom of the shoulder blades. I was so amazed at what the Lord helped me achieve this first day. I feel great!! I look forward to tomorrow morning 🌄 in the next session.

[@ruthlessfairy]

I'm not very new to yoga, I've been practicing with your videos and taking classes in studio for an year now, but I must say that I really needed this prectice to show me how important it is to pay attention to each movement, each sensation and that sometimes I forget about it, especially on public classes. Thank you for reminding us how important it is to stay connected to our bodies - "sensation over the shape". Lots of love ♥

I am working my way through the inquire calendar, I have actually been practising yoga for about 7 years now, but Adriene's practises always teach me something new and dig up something unexpected! Feels great to slow down, connect to the basics and really think about how my body feels in theses poses. If you are new, don't feel discouraged if this was tough, even seasoned yogis find challenges in the movements.

[@ErinRuthie]

Beautiful practice, as always! Me and my mum found this a brilliant way to get back into the basics and be kind to ourselves, especially in these unnerving times x

[@jules-pierremalartre7800]

Thank you for this great introduction to yoga. I am 53 years old, and I just picked up yoga. My back already feels better. This is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@BenGMormonTacos]

I have a request: Yoga basics for those of us with Hypermobility Syndrome. Things like, the difference between straightening/lengthening and locking out, being aware of what is not normal movement, and just overall precenting injury. and also, how we can get the most out of our practice.

[@randomnessiskewel]

I have hypermobile elbow joints and it's so difficult not to lock them in their extended state when doing cat-cow or a plank! Help Adriene!

[@jbates725]

Yes!

[@felinesassy1534]

that would be AMAZING. I have hyper mobility in my entire upper body & recently found out that the terrible pain from the base of my spine through neck & shoulder comes fro being too stretchy & then stretching some more. since I left out the neck stretches, I am way way better. but I DONT wanna stop yoga. so a session for this would be amazing!!

[@reyn578]

Thank you Adriene, you have made yoga, healing, restoring, and rebuilding a possibility for a mommy of four who needs to take things gently and from the beginning. Bless you for sharing
