[@lauraludwig6737]

Every YWA video has so many comments I can’t imagine who might actually happen to read this one; I’ve never commented before but this practice spurred me to write. I’ve done yoga for many years on and off, and been a near-daily YWA practitioner since COVID began in 2020, surfing through her remarkably prolific offerings with no apparent plan, but writing down the name of every video I tried. My lists tell me that I first tried this one in mid-2020, and I remember I just couldn’t get my bod to stop cramping in the last poses. This morning I revisited it like it was a new gift, and fully immersed in every opportunity she provides here for total body awareness. My mind allowed my leg to move from the hip in a way I didn’t think I could - that’s what you get for thinking! What I’m wagging on and on here for is, basically, if you’re just starting, keep going. And if you find a hitch along the way, definitely keep going so later you can say Wow! I get it! Grateful for the myriad and unfolding gifts of Yoga With Adriene.

I legit can't put my feelings into words anymore. Each video turns out to be exactly what my mind and body are screaming for time after time, over and over and over again. I've been diagnosed with chronic tightness of all parts of the body as a result of my cerebral palsy but my back and hamstrings are usually the tightest areas I try to stretch out every morning. There's something larger than life in this sense of awareness in this community and that's what makes me love it so much. We all pretty much feel and understand each other without saying a word through our practice together. I am forever grateful to have found this community and to have experienced this sense of awareness with everyone practicing. Thank you, Adriene for the love that never withers. Keep going, everyone. You got this. Much love. Namaste.

Yoga is so so needed during this time, for stretching me out and for relaxing my soul in a stressful (but exciting!) time. Thank you!

These stretches are all quite difficult for me, especially the poses on the sides. I was greeted by a comment from myself a year ago in which I expressed great frustration and a lack of enjoyment of this practice. It's good to know that I have improved in my ability to activate my core muscles and to support my back, but I am also grateful for the opportunity to be more open and move with more ease of mind. Feeling wobbly, rolling around when I was not intending to roll around, led to laughter and smiles rather than tears and frustration. I am grateful to be here! I am grateful for love. Look with love rather than fear ♥

Near the end of this practice I found myself starting to tear up. As Adriene said “life is good” I felt the corners of my mouth turn up and suddenly I felt a genuine smile. I’ve done basic yoga for many years to help condition my body for other sports and keep me feeling loose, but the more complicated yoga shapes were never something I thought I could do. Those laid down stretches were quite difficult, and I felt this small pit of fear that I wouldn’t be able to do it, or I would hurt myself, or we would go too quickly and I wouldn’t understand. But Adriene lead the positions so gently and slowly and kindly that I was able to keep up. I was able to connect in to myself in a way that I’ve never experience in yoga. Sitting there in our end position I felt my shoulder pull down and open more than I’ve ever felt and I genuinely felt so proud of myself. I did that!! I did those hard yoga poses, definitely modified, but I felt them! I benefited from that work, and I felt connected. I just wanted to say thank you so much Adriene, for you kindness and patience in teaching. By namaste I had tears running down my cheek and felt this great sense of relief and pride. Thank you thank you thank you!!

This was my first yoga with Adriene. My girlfriend sent this to me because I’ve been having really bad lower back pain from sitting and studying so long during finals week. She sent this to me on my day off to just reset and be productive during the madness. Thank you! Namaste ❤️

[@marianasanchezarenas1245]

I woke up today and I felt a little off. I climbed on my mat and told myself "Adriene is always saying to pay attention" so I did. I asked myself "what do you need today?" and I found myself here. It was an amazing moment & I feel really really good right now. Thank you! I plan to pay more attention to myself

[@YogaWithBird]

Love lower back practices ❤️🙌🏼

[@swinglacy]

I made a resolution to use this gift of time, during COVID 19. I have FINALLY started honoring my body with daily Yoga. "Meeting" Adriene is part of my Silver Lining movement during this unusual time. She is the best buddy I could have on this journey. Thank you!

[@camillebrooks3527]

This healing practice kept me coming back for more, and so today, I'm a part of the Adriene yoga family. Trust the process it works Trust Adriene 💯 our health is very important. I lift my hat off to you, Adriene. Blessings always 🙏 Namaste ❤❤❤✨️ .

I'd just like to commend whoever put these calanders together; each day the practice just seems to be a perfect compliment to the practice from the day before, and the day after. I feel like they're genuinely thought out really well specifically to help flow through the month seamlessly, and even from one month to another (from BREATH to BRIDGE, etc). What I'm trying to get at, is that my low back has been aching quite a bit the last few days, but after this I feel like all that tension has now eased, feeling decompressed, and like I was a rusty machine that just got a good oiling, if that makes sense (LOL)! Anyway, thank you once again for organizing these practices, and thank you also Adriene for being such a wonderful teacher!

This one goes down in my faves. So so goood. I used to do ballet and in strength training we would do a pose similar to the last one with the leg up. I realised my bum was always poking out because I wasn't able to tilt my pelvis and my front hips were not flexible enough to do so. It was interesting to notice the amount of balance that I felt doing it now, all thanks to doing yoga for a little while now. Big love Adriene!

[@kristyriley5915]

Oh man, did I need this! I woke up with lower back and hip pain, trusted that I'd find what I was needing in Adriene and this did the trick!! THANK YOU

[@fc4660]

Me too,been sitting For months on my dining chair working from home, I needed this one

[@lisameakin1706]

An excellent yoga session as I felt lonely today. I have decided to do something to stop that. Thank you for your support Adriene ❤

[@igmutankanagi5111]

My first exercise while i’m recovering from dental surgery. The calmness and focus away from my head was so welcome. Namaste!

[@joannawilkinson1436]

Day 35. Hi buddies, great to practise with you all. Never enjoyed yoga so much. All thanks to Adriene!

[@meiyueliu1400]

I did yoga for gratitude before this video, which helped me to tune in and made me realize how grateful I am for this community and to be exposed to some new poses. This yoga session left me feeling good. The coming week will be a bit hectic, so I am planning to dedicate more time for yoga and thus take care of myself. It brings out the best in me, and sometimes gently nudges me to look at the scary things as well. Yoga has transformed me and my way of living. Along with Buddhist teaching, I feel prepared to help and support others, and to spread my love. ❤️ thank you so much for being an amazing mentor! Have a good day!

[@harbourcolour]

I'm commenting nearly 5 years later, but thank you so much, Adriene, for your videos. I suffer from intense low back pain and I go to yoga classes in my community to help manage the pain. This video, in particular, gives me a lot of relief. With gratitude from Nova Scotia.

[@pinkchair]

Rainy Sunday ahead and new video from you. I’m inspired to sleep well, wake up, clean my apartment and then get on the mat and fully engage with you, Adriene. Thank you for the love you put on in this world. It makes a real difference in the lives of so many.

[@kelli5339]

For anyone scrolling through looking for a lower back release and relaxation - This is an AMAZING option!! Feels fantastic.

[@leajacobsen3574]

*EXPLORE · day 6:* It's getting colder and colder up here in Scandinavia, so I did this session while wearing socks and a fuzzy fleece sweater to keep me warm. It was nice to stay low to the ground on a lazy Sunday. I especially enjoyed the Sleeping Vishnu pose at the end!

[@valsan428]

This is literally me right now in Berlin!

[@JB-lk2vm]

Thanks!

[@mharbun967]

I've been away from yoga for a while. Health and depression stopped me doing a lot of things. Trying to claw back and grow again also lose the weight I gained on my downward spiral the stairs are steep going back up but reaching out for a yoga session today made me realise how much I love yoga with Adrienne. Super comforting friendly voice to come back to like meeting an old friend. Even though I have MS I give them all a go to as much of my ability and always come away smiling and feeling peaceful something of which I really need. So thank you 😌

[@CeciliaKautzman]

SALUTE 🌅 | September 12, 2024 | An all time favourite! This can come back on every monthly calendar in my humble opinion! 🙏

[@katekassam1324]

Thank you Adriene. My daughter in Toronto and I in London England both do your wonderful yoga classes at the same time in different time zones. You have kept us going through the lockdowns. We just love your classes. Thank you for more than just yoga - for bringing us all together and helping us to find calm and kindness in these turbulent times Kate and Olivia Kassam

[@jennifersouthgate7552]

Slipped off the yoga trail for several months, put on weight not helped by menopause and ached all over. Started again this morning with this workout. Was dreading the effort but loved it. Hopefully I can start my day off with yoga tomorrow. Thank you Adriene x

[@gillsmith6740]

I really love this super therapeutic practice. It was lots of fun, quite different and so slow and gentle and low to the ground. I’m sure my slight twinge in my left lower back achieved from tough digging in my garden has completely gone ! I’ve had that annoyance for a while, how brilliant is that ? How we love your kind and happy approach to our yoga Adriene ? No wonder we all get off the mat feeling good and that’s me every morning 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

[@alexprieto8277]

Adriene, I have been doing your videos for about 2 weeks now. i took a break for a few days and then did this video. I was surprised and impressed with myself how far ive come in a short amount of time. i was able to do just about every shape in the video. the thigh bone/socket imagery helped me immensely. I am a 33 year old man that is doing this yoga because i weigh 400lbs. trying to get flexibility and lose weight. if i can do this and get such muscle relief and progress anyone can. stick with it people!

[@sparra3819]

Wow, good on you! I hope you keep it going, I find as long as I do some everyday, a daily commitment no matter how late, it's a huge benefit.

[@Wildflowers1223]

How has your progress been in the last year?? I'm about to do this video for the 1st time 😊

[@gillsmith6740]

This practice is perfect for this arthritis sufferer here in lockdown, persevering with a medication change which is not really working. So I thank you Adriene for this yummy low to the ground stretchy sequence. It has helped me a lot this morning, feeling more comfy☺️ I shall save this to repeat 🙏 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️💕

[@laurareed2612]

😔 I am sorry the medication isn’t working. I am so impressed with how you still manage to find the motivation to do the practice every day AND find the good in it! It is inspiring. I’ve been not feeling well mentally which I know is when I should be practicing the most! Luckily the depression has lifted a bit and I’m back ♥️ I am hoping for healing for both of us.

[@gillsmith6740]

Hi Laura, I’ve been so lucky with the start of Bridge, the practices have been ok especially this one so I’m feeling positive and optimistic. So sad you’ve been suffering, but glad you’re back. We can send each other good vibes and lots of love 🙏💕💕💕

[@lisakumer1055]

I’m here in January 2025. Been practicing with Adrienne for about two months and I struggle with tight hammys and persistent lower back pain. My pain was high today and I sought out this practice. Another great one. This one may be part of my daily practice. Thank you Adrienne for sharing your light!

[@ronaldskorstad3731]

Thank you, Adriene. I am 64 years old and have NEVER done yoga a day in my life. Safe to say I am ready to start now. I have done your routine twice now and look forward to more. I love the fact you have a simple plan for beginners and old-timers like me, thank you again. Ron

[@TheMariahalyna]

Thanks for being buddies, everyone, and thanks, Adrienne, for bringing our awareness to that and to our bodies and breath! What a great opening I feel now! Wonderful.

[@HelloKoreanLinda]

What you said at the end, that we are all connected through ywa practice. It brought me a small piece of comfort. I've been feeling disconnected through this pandemic, and I will remember that I am connected whenever I'm practicing ywa. love, Linda

[@rberenice26]

This is my first time commenting per the encouragement at the end of the video. Thanks so much, YWA, for the gentleness you bring to every video. I've been doing back and body rehab for the past year and a half after two back-to-back car accidents. It showed me my body wasn't as strong and resilient as I once thought. Now, I'm finding myself frustrated with my lack of motivation to get back into building my strength and mobility outside of rehab sessions. Today's YWA practice reminded me to be gentle with myself and build awareness and gratitude around the things my body CAN do! Now, I'm "dropping my guard" to look forward to healing my body through gentle, patient movements and finding what feels good!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR GIFTS WITH US!

[@lexicol2011]

Adriene seems to be very passionate about yoga and loves to do it. It's refreshing to have such a good teacher who is so inspiring!

[@Asgreen45]

This was a great video. Having very stiff hips and hamstrings, this by far was impactful. Would love a whole series on the lower body. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johannafrog2684]

All the love in this comment section is overwhelming, I really do feel connected! Reading all the wonderful comments at the end of the practice is something I always look forward to and often brings tears to my eyes... :') Thank you!!

[@alyssadigges9496]

I suffer from chronic pain, and your videos allow me to find joy in movement and extend compassion to myself when things don't come as easily as I would like them to. Thank you for all that you do!

[@annaradcliffe]

I tried lowering my upper body with my leg in the air and fell to the back, got back up and immediately fell to the front. Thanks for the laugh, Adriene, as well as the stretch!

[@janetwest1244]

We’ve all been there Anna. Don’t give up!👍

I did yoga when I was in college, but because of an overwhelming workload, I gave it up. Today, I have even more workload to deal with, and decided to retake the practice to help cope with the stress and anxiety. I've found these videos to be so great, I love how cool you are and how you just relax, giving the viewers a chance to find their place and comfort in the rutines. I've started the 30-day yoga routine as a way to retake the practice, and to create discipline, not just in maintaining an exercise routine, but in other aspects of my life as well. You are wonderful, Adriene. Thank you and Benji so much for this. Lots of love from Venezuela!

[@sfchick9903]

Hey y’all, I’m here to continue a daily BRIDGE practice after breath 30 days! This was so restorative...loved it. Glad to have all of you with me for the ride!

[@anitathompson6107]

Bad sleep last night. Did not feel well in my body. Three yogas with Adrienne fixed me right up. Works every time. Xo

[@emilybastong3896]

Refresh Day 16, 3rd day in a row for me. Found it hard to focus today but still enjoyed the practice, especially since I deal with a lot of pain in my left hip because I strained something a few years ago and it never really healed, so I'm glad for every practice focusing on opening the hips. Thank you❤

[@judymccallum2545]

Keep it up and feel better soon.

[@theemnelproperties]

Adrienne thank you so much for this yoga I had difficulty in getting up this morning but after the yoga iam strong and energetic.

[@raiodeluzsambastudio5523]

I am newer to the Yoga With Adriene community and I am absolutely hooked. As a dancer and first and foremost a human being, these stretches help me to tackle my passion and everyday life

[@talonthehand]

I'm astounded I haven't done this one yet. Straightening the legs is something I'm working towards - there's a solid 10 degree or so bend in the knees. But, I've managed to do the three-finger-grip on the toes things without feeling like I'm pulling my toe out of socket. Day 562 of the current run.

[@marisgoldenhour6212]

Salute, Septemter 12, 2024. Today's practice is a new one for me. It could have been a part of the YWA mid June - August months I had to miss, but still new for today. Also new is the sleeping Vishnu pose. Though in messing around with random stretching, it's not a new stretch. But as a yoga pose, it is. Today's practice is a nice and easy one, but deceptively working some core muscles. Namaste 💙
