Yoga For Healthy Posture - Yoga Tips

[@FreyaHatfield]

Atrract day 13🎉 thank you, Adriene, for this practice, the perfect way to start the day, my old girl 🐶 joined me today so it was an extra special practice. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[@mollysutton5097]

This is the first real yoga practice that I've been able to do in about one month. I am on the verge of tears, because the last month has been filled with so much physical pain, that landed me in the ER last week. Things that were easy for me one month ago take so much more strength and effort now. I am grateful for my body's ability to move, and feel more care in how I move it. I have to admit that I'm a bit fearful about getting back into yoga, but it's something that has brought me so much joy. Maybe, it's in moments like these, that I truly must learn, and embody, what it means to "Find what feels good". I have so much gratitude for how much vulnerability people have expressed in the comments sections of Adrienne's videos. Thank you for having room for mine.

[@margueritejones2839]

What I love about these old videos is seeing how beautifully the plant collection has grown over the years... A visual representation of what doing these videos feels like on the inside ^^,

[@chetinaplant]

Adriene, I started doing 30 days of yoga because of my back pain. I`m only at day 8 now but I already see some positive results - my back pain is almost gone! I love your videos and you look like a really nice, positive, beautiful and inspiring person. Keep on the good work. Lots of love from a small Slovenian youtuber, Tina

[@yogawithadriene]

chetinaplant Oh I have the hills and the valleys but I try! This community and this connect reminds me to stick with it and find the rewards. Thank you. Love to you Tina. xoxo

[@charlottegreen9581]

What part of Slovenia are you from? I spent about two months there a couple years back and it’s beautiful:)

[@denisemann8798]

i sure do love Adrienne! What generosity, to give us years of free instruction, encouragement and gentle humor! thanks to you and your team, and happy holidas...

[@lorrainecunningham6958]

Hi Adriene, today I am celebrating 120 days of yoga, and each one of them has been spent with you. I love how you explain the poses and I love your light hearted spirit. Yoga has given me a lightness of mind, spit and body. For that I thank you. Lorraine

[@txwyldflwr]

Dear Adriene, I love how positive you are. I've learned so much since starting my yoga journey, and I can't wait to get better! Starting out with one of your videos at the beginning of the day always puts me in a great mood & helps me feel positive!

[@cindymik8710]

Been doing yoga with you since Jan 1 and this one I really needed to remind me of my posture and poses. Thank you!

[@tiffanybrooks4670]

I was looking for a new short video for a morning practice. Been quite lazy in the last six months of winter. This was an unexpected workshop rather than a short flow but it has certainly clicked my joints as I tried to really engage core and dunder! When l don’t just blast through an old established routine it’s a real eye opener. Thanks for this.

[@lynneeitel5666]

August 2024 Attract...these tips are so helpful! No yoga robo tshere. Thank you, it feels so good to move thoughtfully😇

[@shv5626]

I've been a part of the Yoga with Adriene community for about 7 months now, and I definitely feel more enthusiastic about yoga as a whole, and feel more aware of my body and health. I tried to take a break from the videos and do my own practices for a while, but realised, even though I knew the poses, I wasn't really getting into them as much. The videos really help me to remember my breath, and really get into the moment with yoga, rather than just rushing through it. So thank you so much to the Yoga With Adriene Team! X

[@SimplyMayaBeauty]

I have to say, I just did this video and I have a very problematic back, and recently I found out my neck is just as bad. This helped to ease some of the constant pain I feel on a daily basis and I do feel like I sat a little taller by the end of it. Thank you!

[@yogawithadriene]

SimplyMayaBeauty Yes! Good!!!!!

[@RayofSunshinePodcast777]

I felt the same, I sat little taller after the practice. I am adding this practice to my daily routine. Man I can feel the difference

[@ambers628]

I never thought I would feel so comfortable and relaxed while doing a "fitness" video of any kind. I had friends who tried to get me to do workout videos and go to the gym and do hardcore cardio and it was just never right for me. I never felt like I was gaining more than just soreness and sweat. I have been consistently practicing through your videos for about 6 months now and I have never felt happier with myself and my body. You are fun and kind and I always feel good both in mind and body when I finish a video. You always give us lots of options, which I love! Also, I have severe joint pain in both knees, and since I've been consistently doing your vids, I haven't had any pain. It's incredible. Thank you for everything! I have noticed my body wanting to sit up straighter and with more integrity...it's becoming the normal shape that my spine wants to be in, as opposed to a slump. Thank you for the mental and physical boost I get every day!

[@chloejewell]

I used this as a cool down video after doing 45 minutes of HIIT + Cardio and it felt AMAZING. My back and shoulders had been so tight and now they're loose and feel great. Thank you!!

[@millydawson9361]

Thank you for clarifying so many aspects of these poses, with the emphasis on the spine. My in-person yoga teacher used to say, "Young spine, young you." I think he is right.

[@mereteundersaker8566]

Adriane, you changed my body and my life!! Been practicing with you 3 1/2 years !! So grateful. One love

[@juliap3403]

Adriene, I started practicing YWA online a few weeks ago and wanted to tell you what a difference it has made for me already. I really enjoy the morning yoga right as I get out of bed. It helps me to be more mindful of my movements, actions and responses to situations/people through out the day. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. - Julia

[@lmh9499]

I couldn't be more happy or grateful for YogaWithAdriene. I have terrible posture and back pain from years of letting it go, slouching, and hiking with heavy backpacks.I wasn't a fan of yoga until my mom recommended your 30 Day Workout, which I completed, and found myself wanting more every day! Your videos actually make me feel human again! I can feel muscles in my back slowly coming back to life and feel much more comfortable with my body and how it moves. I think I actually prefer a yoga session to a massage or chiro. appt. REQUEST: I love every posture and back video you have already, but any chance you can do one for rebuilding strength in the upper back (especially the place between the shoulder blades), neck, and side back muscles - sort of the upper core? So many gym workouts pull my muscles so tight in front and ignore the huge muscles that dictate good posture in the back.

[@Zsilye]

Hi Adriene, thank you for this video, I have been 'too busy' to do yoga for the last couple of months and this video was the first one I actually engaged with in a long time. Your voice and personality is so calming and rejuvenating. I sometimes feel emotional during practice with you, as if yoga was slowly but surely breaking down a wall somewhere inside me. I can't really explain. I'm grateful for your videos and for being able to practice with you. Namaste.

[@wednesdayaddams2629]

Hi Adriene, I found your channel through a youtuber, Rachel Whitehurst, she made a video about dealing with anxiety and mentioned that your videos help her a lot. I also struggle with anxiety but I mostly suffer from a sore back constantly and headaches which I'm sure stems from my awful posture. I'm not sure how I ever let it get so bad but I never noticed until my partner mention how bad it looked the other day. Anyway, I just joined you in this video and I feel as though I have opened up an important door in my life that I need to visit every day. Thank you very much. I am so overjoyed at how I feel that I think I may indulge in another video before I go to bed. You're an incredible motivator because of your honest serenity and positivity. I hope your channel can help me become a positive person, this is also something I struggle with. Have a wonderful day, thank you.

[@kathycosme8137]

I love this girl, I have always struggled with my posture. I followed a lot of your videos when I was pregnant and stopped once I delivered my baby boy but I need to get back into yoga practice. It feels so good to connect to your body and get to know your body as well.

[@yogawithadriene]

Kathy R. Aguilar Yes Kathy!!!!!

[@tombassett8001]

Good day, that is my greeting on all emails & spoken when meeting someone. You & your practice have helped me have a healthy start to my days for about two years. The combo of humor, humility, skillful direction, and love you give to me & other Yogis is priceless. Thank you so much. Take care Tom , Florence, MA

[@AdelinaEcaterina]

excellent! even though i ve been doing yoga with you for about 2 years, it was only with this video that i fully understood what you were saying (like how to "claw through the fingertips"). i would welcome more videos of tips for moves you use, and videos of posture improvements. also i'd love to hear more often about the energetic body. love you adriene!

[@tiffanybryant2702]

Never in my life have I ever been dedicated to working out until Now. God Bless you Adriene!

[@nosiphongema37]

its only been 3 days to my 30 day yoga practice but i'm already seeing and feeling change in my body, soul and spirit.....i'm loving YOGA, i'm loving you Adriene, and i love your energy. keep up the good work

[@RubynazHussain-xi8nw]

Good morning dear Adrienne, Just done with this healthy posture Yoga and this was awesome! A good short stretch to begin the day.. God bless you ❤.

[@pmw7018]

Thank you, Adrienne. You make life better for so many. Hope you are treating yourself as kindly as you do others.

[@vikki8699]

Day 13 of Attract ❤ Oh this was good after being at the desk all day.

[@MBSPOWER]

Thank you, my beautiful friend... I've been with you on this journey for some time now, and I must say you are an extraordinary companion to have... I feel blessed and forever grateful to be able to share this experience with you...🙏🏾❤️

[@scoob1670]

Doing yoga from your channel with my mom currently! Her body is often sore and she is extremely stressed (so stressed that she gets frequent nose bleeds) so I'm glad I can do something like this to help relax her a bit.

[@DaughterOfSappho]

Adriene, I LOVE your videos! I have practiced yoga off and on for many years, and have yet to fall into a consistent, comfortable practice. Lately I've been especially, well, lazy, and haven't been taking as good care of myself as I should. your videos have helped motivate me from a very unmotivated place. You are so funny and easy going, I feel like I can not only follow along to your videos, but it feels like I actually have a friend doing it with me, which makes it so much easier to get through tough poses or mental blocks. I also really appreciate that you have so much variety in your videos -- it seems I can always find the perfect one for my mood or situation. Thank you so much for sharing your practice, passion, and wonderful self!

[@talonthehand]

Starting up a new routine today (still the same run in yoga), so one on literally standing tall feels like a good metaphorical place to begin. Really liked the detail of rotating the pelvis while in side angle, I'm going to keep that in mind in future poses. Day 532 of the current run.

[@mannehennessy]

This is one of my new faves! I love reconnecting to the basics and growing from the ground up!

[@ЕленаМеньщикова-з1и]

Adriene, you're amazing! Thank you! You transformed my life and my attitude to yoga completely! I've been practicing yoga for a couple of months and I feel how my body has improved. Though I every time I practice a shoulder stand I get a sever lower backache, which lasts for a couple of minutes. I've never had any injures. Could you please possibly consider showing or giving any tips on how do you do a shoulder stand right, so to avoid any injures?

[@meanderphotoify]

I have been doing off and on yoga since high school. But yours is the series that really REALLU got me engaged. I used to just throw myself into poses and stay there because that's what I thought yoga was and I was flexible enough to do them. But the movement that you encourage gives new meaning and purpose to these positions and postures. my 4 year old son wanted to say hi too because he has become my little yoga buddy.

[@yogachick3823]

I can totally identify with learning the difference in poses and finding them much more challenging,extended side angle and triangle,which I thought I rocked,become something new and more delicious for my body with this! Thank you x

[@yogawithadriene]

Yogachick yesss and ever-changing too, right? namaste xoxoxo

[@ThatgeekNolan]

Yaay, something just clicked for me today - first yoga epiphany! I realized how much easier it is for me to place weight on my back foot in triangle pose, once I draw my tailbone in line with the rest of the pose. I didn't even realize how much twisting I was unconsciously doing until I lined up my spine and the pose became so much more natural feeling. Thank you :).

[@claire.morgan]

I believe I started practicing yoga (with Adriene!) about a month ago, and I was amazed with how much I enjoy it! I'm not an athletic person at all so that's a pretty big deal. I randomly searched for yoga videos and found yours and thank goodness! The way you teach it is exactly what I needed to stick with it. I even told myself not to worry if I don't do it very often but I've done something every day (except the second day since I was a bit sore) even if it's just something quick! I was wondering if you have any yoga tips for healthy knees, sort of like the healthy wrists video. That seems to be the one place I forget about but I've noticed needs more attention, especially since knee problems run in the family. Anyway, thanks for everything and namaste!

[@yogawithadriene]

simfreakk32 Namaste my friend! Way to dig in. Keep goinggg!

[@beyondthebop]

I was doing at least one of your yoga videos every day but I forgot to focus on my neck and shoulders more. At work I had to sit for quite a long time this week so my spine collapsed and I really felt that physically but also mentally. Although being short this practice helped me so much! Beautiful!

[@goirkens]

6:09 Me: In tabletop position My older brother: Walks into my room with half a chocolate muffin on a plate and places it on my back Me: Busts out laughing

[@kristinb8172]

Me yesterday, except my daughter placed her ball python on my back. Lol

[@irseen]

Both of you must have nailed that pose if they instinctively thought of a table when they saw you!

[@TheCottonCandy707]

LMAO

[@HeatherWindom]

Lovely reminder here, and always Adriene you bring the love combined with true body awareness. Also, can you please bring back that sweet T-shirt design? Would love to add that to my collection! Namaste all 😋🙏

[@lumartyr]

Like so many others, I found you when I tweaked my back doing another video. Just one back pain video and I knew I wanted more! So i started making your yoga part of my mornings. Then I saw the 30 day challenge and loved it! I am almost done with my 3rd time through and my body feels stronger than ever and I crave the feeling I get when I do yoga. Thank you and keep em coming. I really like the back to basics videos now that I feel like I can get further into the poses.

[@kaylalovesicecream]

I lost my yoga stride for awhile, and I am realizing now that I am back in my stride that I had to be away from it to go deeper into it. I am humbled by the fact that after just 1 month I am stiff and opened to my mind to the real stillness of yoga. I am not a robot nor is yoga. So now I can be more real for others because of “falling off the wagon”

[@SheilaBugal]

Wow Ive never been a fan of yoga I love these classes! Doing 1-2 every day now I can really tell a difference!

[@addisonbaker8184]

This was a great video! As a long-time beginner, you have really inspired me to make yoga a daily practice and not a "workout" to do once a month, if that. Thank you Adriene!!

[@tifo9577]

i too NOW find ease in cross legged position because i have become more aware of my spine in "the everyday" and while practicing on my mat! great video to return to over and over. Thank you for a more in depth practice i continue to love to understand and share with the World!

[@erinkimmel9479]

I LOVED this video. Please do more where you explain some core concepts that can be applied in more than one pose. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding an instruction like "spiral the thighs" or I had one teacher that said "rotate your femurs" without applying it in more than one situation. I've been doing yoga for a long time (10+years) but feel like I'm in a rut. This is the type of stuff I want to learn.

[@yogawithadriene]

Erin Kimmel Great feedback!!!!! Thank you Erin and you got it!

[@emilyvickery3252]

You rock Adriene! Thanks for posting and sharing your light and love with us all.

[@aPaulineR]

I love how you explain things, it's so clear and easy! I always had troubles standing tall, and the sitting postures were so painful for me at the beginning, the "head over heart, heart over pelvis" combined with the "tuck your pelvis in" really helped me. In this video, your explanation to lengthen the tailbone towards the back heel really helped me to find a better alignment. This video was very useful and I feel like the person you're speaking of at the end: postures don't really get easier, but my conscience of my body grows everyday and this is more rewarding than being able to to headstand rightaway. (which I can't do) (but I don't really care) I wish you the best until next week, I'm going to write to support from your website because I still don't get your newsletter. Have a nice day, yogis!

[@hecalledmelala]

I didn’t know it was a « tip » video first, but it was nice to have a break and get back to basic. Thank you !

[@jenniferlussier671]

Hi adrienne I've been practising with you for a while now and thought it was time to say thank you so much for doing what you do. Like alot folks I have health stuff (lups and arthritis ) so I deal with pain and stiffness a lot you videos help so much even on those I dont wanna days . Practise with you makes me smile laugh and just get into feeling better. I just wanted you to know how much you've helped to change my everyday thanks again looking forward to more .

[@twenty6four]

Dear Adriene It is beautiful to watch you do yoga. I have been practicing yoga for many years now, and understand how essential the posture, the spine, the core are to even building one’s spiritual strength to - as you said yourself - stand up tall. Your videos have a wonderful positive energy that makes me inevitably pay attention to my own body, be aware of it (again I borrow from your vocabulary), and appreciate it. Like +misscalypso, however, I too suffer from scoliosis and it would be so great if you could do some videos for it. Love and light :)

[@stevenattwood1076]

First time focusing on this area and wow even after this short video my shoulders and back feel great. Definitely will be looking at practicing these more

[@joannas22]

Thanks, Adriene! Everything I need, I know I can find on your channel.

[@alexrivas59]

Hey Adriene, my second day of Yoga, finding it challenging...but very rewarding, glad I found your lessons.

[@kyliejae5054]

Hi Adriene! Thank you for your awesome videos! I've started with them the last month since I've had a really busy work schedule. Such an amazing, positive and supportive start to each day. Love that you have so much choice in types of video and length, learning so much and really appreciate that you've made the channel 😊💜🤸‍♂️

[@thejukeboxfamily5366]

This practice is amazing. I feel taller, the few words you said at the end made me feel more open to people and to the world around me. Might become a very morning favorite. Thank You Adriene!

[@daethule]

In times of bad posture when I find myself slumping, Adriene's voice comes to me, speaking words of wisdom: "Head over heart, heart over pelvis."

[@Treeoflife2222]

love your work and how you walk thru honestly I don't watch any other yoga teacher #1 teacher you know how to walk it thru much love

[@goblin3359]

So this video is now six years old - and it is by no means the first of Adriene's that I have watched. But it may have been one of the most useful - I feel like I have been doing 'yoga robot' moves for a while without really paying much attention to my spine or posture. Then I sit in front of my computer like a sack of potatoes for hours and wonder why my back hurts. Go figure! Thanks Adriene.

[@jerheaton]

Love you Adriene! Keep up the great work! My 11yr old step-daughter and I love yogaing together with you :)

[@cmhuynh7129]

Thanks again Adriene! You dont know me, but you and Benji been my buddies for a long time now!

[@elilangfere3336]

Didn't think I needed this video to improve how I felt in yoga but it was actually so helpful! Was becoming a bit go a yoga robot but this is helping me wring my body out like a rag a little better! thank you xxx

Thank you Adriene, namaste x

[@moapellegrini6940]

Hi Adriene! I love your positivity and I get super excited when I see all of your videos I haven't seen yet :) It's been great to practise with you now when things are stressful and such. I've shared some videos with my class (we're musical students) and they liked them too! Lots of love, Moa

[@minnyrichards5032]

I can't believe I've only just found this video - it's so helpful and I'm absolutely going to be taking on this way of thinking into my yoga. Thank you

[@jeaneridges1890]

Started practicing yoga with your thirty day challenge at the beginning of the year. Have come so far in my practice since then through your videos, and I now have my own nighttime yoga routine to wind down at the end of the day. This was a nice relaxing way to get the blood flowing and a little movement. Thanks for sharing. P.S Love your shirt, it is super cute :)

[@lisakevinb1405]

I love the new space! I do find it challenging to do the video the first couple times when the pose requires me to have my back to the screen. That is, when you do the triangle on my left side, I have to reverse around in order to know what's next. Does that make sense? Thanks for all the yoga love! I look forward to it every week!

[@serenehu5001]

Greetings from Singapore, Adriene! I love your videos! I used to push myself so hard to achieve those difficult poses and rush for the final ending pose, and a lot of times, I was putting my body in great pain and stress. Thanks for emphasizing the importance of correcting our poses and listening to our body. You are such an inspiration, and I wish I could start practicing with you three years ago when you started KZbin channel.

[@adriennewacker5317]

Thank you for this Adriene! I am trying hard to improve my posture and strengthen my core.. I have got to remember to do this video often because it really helps :). I love all your videos. I am super busy being a mom of 3 little kiddos but whenever I can manage to do your videos, they always calm me and help me get through whats next in my day :) So thanks!

[@annalynosborn6354]

Namaste, Adrienne! Thank you!

[@1queenruler]

I'm so glad I found your KZbin channel~and I've done a couple videos in the past (of your & a few others)but gravitated more to yours to stick with. I'm a "newbie" to yoga. My fitness level is more weight training and some cardio however I see the importance of adding in yoga to my life & feel I need it a couple times a week. I'm looking forward to doing/watching many, many more of your videos!!👏🏻👍🏻Thank you!!🤗👸🏼

[@raschelleavila2014]

As a kid, I've always wondered why people especially girls do yoga. Often times I thought it was for doing weird poses. But now I think it's more than that. Now, it helps me with my posture, my back aches and my overall mental health and well being.

Hi Adrian! I practice yoga with your videos everyday and I thank you for your nice and interesting videos! I want to ask for videos with practices that are suitable for older individuals! I am 30 years old and I shared your channel with my parents so they can practice yoga at home but they say it is a little bit difficult for them, or would you make a video for knee and shoulder pain healing? thank you!

[@londongal5771]

loved the video and learnt a lot, would you consider doing a video/routine for posture? Ie, focusing on the shoulders and strength there?

[@danielavictoriareyescortes7051]

Hi Adriene just checking your old videos for a healthy posture, I have struggled with that since I'm a little girl, but I want to improve my posture. Could you make a new practice for it? Much love!!! Thanks😘

[@the4realpsych]

Adriene, thank you SO much for your videos! I just started to get into yoga today because I have an issue with my spine where it just happens to be a little bit further curved inward than normal, giving me a little bit of duck butt (lordosis) due to bad posture growing up! Watching this video makes me wonder how you can find it so easy to sit on your legs in your first pose! It's extremely difficult for me, and I am not sure where to turn to correct my back? Can you suggest certain poses and/or videos? I love what you do and can't wait to continue!

[@pooyavalinataj2419]

Very useful for me. I need more work and attention on my spine and neck.
