Hello my friends! How are you feeling today?

[@l.ej.1454]

Awesome !! Feel great after a run and this practice 💖And you ?

[@rosaliecarr9382]

I appreciate you and all of your wonderful videos, this one came at the perfect time, I have been having an issue with my upper back, thank you for sharing...it was very helpful.💚

[@christinarave]

Bright breezy day here. Swept the front and back yards in the winter sun. Appreciated the fresh air and hearing the birds singing. Lovely little yoga practice for a Sunday. Have a beautiful day 😊💕💓💕

[@ladyaria8910]

Literally just used your front cover photo to stretch out my neck, and it immediately popped😊 feeling way much better, especially after i just shoveled my mountain-covered sidewalk😂 thank you for your help! I liked the rest of your video!

[@corey_el]

Grateful to have this practice as I carry most of my stress and aches in my shoulders and neck 💕

[@caresseshumnguyen1301]

I’ve had neck issues for years and also did daily PT. I would have extreme neck pain and burning twice a week for over a decade. I’ve used Biofreeze and Salonpas Patches for relief. My BFF sent me this video on a whim. Since practicing yoga using the video every morning, my neck pain is nearly diminished. It’s truly been life changing. Typically, I don’t post comments, but I wanted to thank Adrienne for changing the quality of my life.

[@davidkenny384]

Dave’s wife here. I have always worked my upper body to extremes lifting pulling grabbing etc..! I use proper body mechanics but always have tightness and discomfort in my wrists shoulders and hands. I seek relief from daily yoga and jacuzzi therapy. This video was the most relief for that upper body tightness and the pinching muscles feeling. Adrianne helps me to be more fluid. 🙏🏻❤️🧘‍♀️ ALWAYS FEELING THE LOVE HERE

Wow... that was my first time ever doing yoga stuff. It felt really good... I’m kinda shaking now lol my name is Joseph, I’m a disabled Iraq war veteran a father of two and coming on two years since my wife passed away. I’ve been in a very dark place to say the least. I’m slowly coming out of it and have been looking for natural was to deal with all my physical and emotional pain. So happy to have found you sharing your knowledge of yoga, I could never afford to have a private lesson. I will be doing a lot of your lessons that deal with weight, back and neck pain to start with . Thank you again, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the amazing job 💜

[@kristinbrynjulvsrud2427]

Opening my laptop to do my daily YWA, there was a button calling for computer update. I pushed it, and of course, the machine went black for a loooong time... But then, sitting on my mat, I just started. Breathing, "hearing" Adriene voice inside my head. I did all the tings I remembered, and for the first time I managed to do a yoga session all by my myself! Proud! I have been doing daily yoga for 2,5 years, and today I realized I really have a vocabulary internalized. Although I prefer doing yoga with the videos, this was a nice experience. Thank you Adriene, for the beautiful BREATH series, and for being a wonderful guide, a supportive friend and a daily inspiration! Wishing you all the best! Love from Norway!

[@cherylb787]

Whos merc - respectfully, I'm not sure that there was any need for the tone of your comment. The reason for the black screen isn't the point. It provided an opportunity and Kristin found that she's learned more than she realised, and can practice without guidance. That's an awesome part of the journey.

One of my favorite bed-time rituals is rotating my neck round and round, a soundtrack of cricks and cracks following from my joints, and murmuring "daily neck hygiene is soooooo important" while my husband watches, terrified.

[@Dr.T-Bomb]

Every expert medical resource I've ever come across on neck and spine health states this as the most important thing to NEVER do. Might want to look into it for yourself. I skip this part of the video and do safer neck stretches instead.

[@snipeed_00]

lol

[@garrettcarlson6835]

@@Dr.T-Bomb umm, good to know

[@mariekejee18]

@@Dr.T-Bomb I'm pretty sure the stretches you're referring to are neck rolls, where you roll your head horizontally across your neck (i.e. chin touching chest, shoulder, back of head touching back, shoulder), if I'm not mistaken. Adriene's "rolls" are vertical, meaning if you don't overdo it, it shouldn't cause the hyperextension in the neck that should be avoided. If you're however referring to something else, I'd love to know!

[@Dr.T-Bomb]

@@mariekejee18 Thanks for the informative reply! I haven't seen it narrowed down that much. The typical explanation I've come across is that any combination of rolling and bending/flexion/extension of the neck compromises the C-spine and will significantly increase wear on those delicate joints. Intuitively it makes sense-there is such a high degree of mobility in that part of the spine that it would be more susceptible to repetitive wear in loaded and stretched positions (and rolling the head is basically just grinding away at these joints). Whether all of that has been proven beyond doubt in epidemiological and controlled studies I wouldn't know and I'm not about to dig into all the literature to check-happy to defer to the experts on this one. Just wanted to make a PSA for those that would like to check for themselves.

[@NathanSpelling]

This is going to sound so silly, but I started crying in the middle of the video and had to pause. My neck has been a huge issue for weeks, I even had to have someone come in and take over my shift at work because I strained it which made it worse on top of that and I had to literally just lay in bed for a few days. I hadn't done your videos in a while and started doing them again last Monday. Today, in the middle of yoga, I realize my neck didn't hurt for the first time in about three weeks and most likely it's thanks to getting back to stretching with your videos every morning. Just goes to show that this is a must do for everyone. It helps you from straining your body throughout the day by even the simplest of movements which is what happens to me all the time. Time to go back to telling people Im busy in the morning doing sessions with my trainer. You're doing awesome work. ♥

[@TheKindredTrucker]

So great. I have chronic neck pain too and this video really helped me. I don't know if you've been through something like whiplash, which is what happened to me. Even low-speed collisions (30mph or less) can cause a lot of damage ... for me, the pain has been life altering, so I feel you, my friend!! Yoga helps me a ton, but I really have to use caution ... but I also find neck stabilization exercises to be super helpful. Also grateful for the relief in this video, Adriene!! Namaste

[@blinddog1212]

Not silly at all, thanks for sharing! Makes sense that as we release tension through these practices, feelings well up. It is a beautiful thing and you're not alone!

[@kakalovestrees]

It's not silly. A friend of mine is a yoga instructor and she has been recommending to me that I do yoga to help my heart and my body. I can't afford yoga classes right now, so I decided to search for a nice yoga video to help with my neck and back pain (I'm a server/bartender lots of work on my feet). I started tearing up in the middle of this very simple short video and a little afterwards too. I instantly felt relief in my body after this, and I will definitely continue to watch her videos. They seem really straight forward, easy to follow without any extra vlogger nonsense, and her voice is really soothing. Thank you Adriene.

[@moniquevamado]

Nathan, have you ever had craniosacral massage therapy? It can be incredibly helpful for the kind of pain you described. Also eating high alkaline foods can reduce inflammatory pain. Perhaps look up both of these approaches. I hope it helps. I used to live with chronic pain.

[@roxy2397]

Sitting on the mat, I was struck by sorrow. In these times of solitude, Adriene is actually the person I see the most. I wake up to her voice every morning. I go to her when I am desperate for relief, and whether I'm feeling joy or pain. She has become so important in the lives of so many. I mourn, in a bittersweet way, that we can't all link hands and extend this love fully to one another. We go through our experience alone. It's sad, but it's also a wonderful mystery, life is. When I lay on my mat, I can feel the weight of my body pulling down and the support of the floor taking up that weight, sending it back to me. I notice the places I am tense and where I'm at ease. I feel my chest expand with breath. Miraculously, I'm alive :) And I know that others also bear the weight, the counterweight, the expansion, the contraction, the pain, the pleasure, and everything else. I'm grateful for many reasons to Adriene: teacher, friend, and mother of this community.

I must have something else because it didnt work for me. I am plagued with neck pain most days, and it can stay for many days in a row.

Cant skip meal or not drink enough else headache. I massage. Put a hot pad. (Headche pills usually dont work either) Right now it's so bad on my left side only. Nothing works and I know it can last all night too, until waking up with it the next morning. I saw someone who tested my neck, nothing wrong there my movement and jaw seems ok according to him. It controls my life along with other health stuff I have. I cant sit on my couch and lay the back of my head (not the neck) on something, because after 2 minutes it's uncomfortable.

@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 oh no I hope you see that cold off quickly. I will look into sorrel when I can but atm I'm still primarily tube feeding so am limited to what I can consume. My friend was who I cared for that was quadriplegic and sadly he was let down by the medical system. He had been complaining for almost 2 years of feeling like something was stuck in the back of his throat and so we'd spent that time trying to persuade them to put a camera down as he felt it was a physical thing. They just kept telling him to eat soft foods. Unfortunately, I hadn't been there to chase it up so I don't know what happened with the care agency following up but I got a call around midnight one night from a and e doctor saying he was vomiting copious amounts of blood, they were suspecting internal bleeding and could I go asap as they didn't expect him to make it through the night. Devastatingly I was covid positive so unable to go and they rang an hour later to say he'd gone. The coroner concluded it was massive internal heaomarrage due to erosion of the oesophagus. The main symptom of that is pain on swallowing and feeling like something is stuck in the throat. It is also very common in someone taking the meds he was so I'm currently trying very hard to not be so angry that it slows my own recovery with the negativity. I'm trying to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, whether we know that reason or not 🙏💞

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

@LouBLou Happy Sunday, LouBlou! Thanks so much for the well wishes! I'm slowly 🐌, yet surely getting better. There's so much cold in my body right now. 🤧 Wow! That's a disturbing story. Please accept countless love and light! ✨️ 🙏🏿 Yes, everything happens for a reason, and the medical system definitely failed your dear friend. I do recall you talking about him all the time. It's an unfortunate truth that some doctors will ignore signs. I, too, am a victim of this medical industry as you already know my story. We must heal thy self and be proactive when we know something strange is happening to our bodies. 🙏🏿 That must be frustrating to eat from a feeding tube. Let us focus on the positive outcome of being cancer free. This challenge will pass, and energy is forever; therefore, your friend will always live in your heart. Now, he is pain-free living his best life in the next realm. Keep your head up! 🦋♥️🦋🤗

Align day 2, February 2023. Done in my Bilbao hotel room. Lovely practice focusing on the neck. Great after a day of sitting in a conference.

[@sambamgram]

Ah, I've just done Align day 2 and I'm also in Spain! Enjoy Bilbao, it's a great city

I love how people are really practicing from everywhere, all around the world! Hope you had a successful conference and enjoy your stay in Bilbao! 🌞

This has been an absolute Godsend. I do this routine twice a day now and it has drastically improved my neck and shoulder discomfort. My shoulders have been locked up for months. Thank you thank you thank you. 🙏

Practicing with y'all from Greenville, South Carolina, USA. I have practiced yoga since 2002, but am recovering from a hamstring attachment injury. This 30 day challenge is a wonderful way for me to ease back in and gain some confidence! Thank you, A&B!

[@sophie4694]

hurray for align, feb 2023. took a day off yesterday, but this morning i did yesterday’s practice before work, and this one was just too tempting. couldn’t not do it after work today.

[@xxangeleyes40xx]

I’ve saved this one as I know it will be used frequently, a perfect practice to fit in whenever my neck and shoulders feel tight.

Yes!! I do it all the time, it really works wonders ✨

This has been a regular for me! Again I will reiterate, this connection to my BREATH still deepens and shows my inner growth. Now when I come to do this diddy, my neck and shoulders feel better, and I embrace the opportunity to connect to my inner self for 10 minutes! Namaste 🙏

[@Spanishduif]

This has become my go to video whenever I wake up with pain in my nek/shoulders/back and it’s totally worth the 11 minutes in the morning. This stops my tension headaches and nek/back pain from becoming unbearable. Thank you!

[@aniagorczynska1970]

This is the very first video of YWA I did almost two years ago. 😊 That is when my journey of doing (almost) 😉 daily yoga started. And I have not looked back since. ❤ Thank you Adriene, Benji, the YWA team, and the wonderful community here.

It's good to see that India's yoga is helping everybody all over the world. Very proud.

🌞ALIGN Day 2🌞 in the books wuhuu! I’ve done this practice countless of times but added a few moves today and tried to find moments where I could be a bit more intentional. Have a great day fellow yogis :))

[@nicholel.8891]

Day 2!! Glad to see you here!! It’s hard to see how many of us from CENTER there are with all of the older comments, but it’s nice to see those too! So many lives have been changed because of Adriene’s videos! How wonderful!!! Keep it up!! Take care!

Perfect Day 3 of Bridge. So relevant for everyone who is working from home and using a not perfect set up. I must incorporate this into a daily or weekly routine!

[@Msoliviaaa00]

Hi, Adriene! I work long hours standing, so my back, shoulders, and neck are constantly stiff. Trying to stretch and loosen up- your channel is a happy find! This video is fantastic. I could follow along with my eyes closed and already feel so much better. Thank you ❤

[@faithhudvagner5680]

Day 3 of February 2021! These short but sweet 10-minute practices are the perfect way to roll right out of bed and right onto your mat to begin your morning with a fresh perspective! My upper back needed this love today more than I thought it did, so I am very appreciative for this practice! Thank you for another wonderful practice Adriene, see you tomorrow! 💜

[@thehivedesignco.2990]

At one point I can hear Adrienne's heartbeat and I really love that for some reason. She's like the ASMR OG or something. But with heartbeats and deep breaths.

[@organicgreenpeace6360]

Ive been sick in bed for about a week and decided to treat my body to this video. The crackling and adjusting was insane and my sinuses have never felt better. Even got that neck pop I didn't know I needed. Sharing with everyone I know. Thank you!!

[@laurenbaker3978]

I'm still doing this 5 years later! I've spent most of my twenties following you Adriene, no matter how long a hiatus from self care I have, I can always count on you to come back to. Thank you for being such a constant in my life whenever I need it! So much love x

[@shadanzahrooni8416]

Beat the notification today, with my body screaming for some stretching as tight as it is, especially my shoulders. Gotta admit it, Adriene sensei is a life saver when it comes to combatting our excessive sitting epidemic(i.e. in front of screen) Thank you for saving the day yet again Adriene. Wish you all the best. Much love. Namaste.

[@JeniHankins]

How beautifully connected are Adriene and Benji! As soon as she says that Benji understands daily neck hygiene, he gets up, walks to the front of the camera, stretches his neck, and lies down again. It’s like his high five to his pal Adriene! Thank you for a great video.

Adrienne and Bejie are a bright spot in our morning routine! Recently retired, sold our home and moved to a different state was very stressful and hard on the mind and body. Our oldest son sent us Adrienes link to do the 30 day Yoga challenge and we have kept on going. Thank you Adrienne for your expertise with a touch of humor, humility and love. ❤️

Adriene! I cannot tell you what a blessing you've been to me! I've struggled for my entire adult life to come into a healthful routine and your videos have been huge for me! I have come from feeling almost dead all the way through to touching on my vibrancy again. I am so grateful for you and what you do. Thank you for sharing your light with the world!! Blessings!!

[@pennyskilton3244]

This has become my go to session whenever I get a tension headache. That trap-stretch followed by the upper back stretch seems to be the key parts every time 🙏

This is very helpful to know!! I’ll definitely give it go when I get a tension headache next time. Thank you for sharing

Which part of the video is that ? I'm not sure I'm doing it right lol

[@laceilea]

Wow, this practice is just what I've been searching for! For years, I've struggled with neck, back, & shoulder pain due to macromastia. Recently it had gotten much worse, which lead me to seek answers and more lasting solutions. The first time I did this practice I felt a shift, and from then on (like 2-3 weeks ago lol) I've been doing this video practice every single day! It has made such a difference in my pain levels and ability to perform daily tasks. The tension I've been feeling for years is beginning to loosen and migraines are much less common. To anyone who reads this, I wish you grace and compassion on your healing journey

When you’re young, you’re always worrying what other people are thinking about you. When you reach middle age, you no longer care what other people think of you. And when you’re old, you realise, everyone was just thinking about themselves all along.

I've been practicing daily with you since June 2019 and yoga was one of the best parts of my days, but then in October 2020 I stopped practicing all of a sudden and, even if I had noticed how this had affected my mental health, I didn't go back on the mat until today, September 10th 2021. You are so right when you say that the hardest part is to hop on the mat and I only realise it now. But I'm so happy after this practice, my body and my mind needed it so much. Thank you Adriene, Namaste.

I’ve now been telling myself for two years that I need to get back to yoga. All I do is sit at a desk and then on the couch. I’m having severe pain between my shoulder blades and desperately trying to make it go away. This is my baby step to getting back into yoga. I feel better after doing this once but I definitely have a way to go. I look forward to continuing to feel better physically and mentally.

Try to go to gym for walks but Adrienne has changed my life in no ways that the gym can. This is my go to video whenever my neck pain flairs up. Honestly if I do this every day, it’s nearly gone. I gotta keep up with it lol. Good luck u guys got this. Yoga is life changing.
