Yoga For Suffering | 20-Minute Yoga Flow

[@yogawithadriene]

The practice of seeing and feeling yourself fully equips you to see and accept others. This is the Yoga that reminds us to recognize on a daily basis, we are one.

[@MissDoreen]

Good morning 🌞 thank you for all your wonderful blessings! Wishing you a blessed Sunday! Peace and lollipops ✌🍭😊💖

[@KeepQuestioning243]

please consider renaming this video "Yoga for Joy" ... or in the very least "Yoga for Freedom from Suffering." I hope you get my meaning here. Happy day to you and thanks for continuing to provide these videos.

I really need to tell whoever reads this that I had a bit of a revelation on the mat today. A couple of years ago I used to do yoga almost every single day and almost always working from Adriene's videos, I did it when I came home from work in the evening and when I got up on the weekends. It made me happy and I did it as an act of kindness and though I enjoyed finding stronger muscles that was never the aim. Then life got harder and it became less frequent until months and months would pass between the times I came to the mat. I thought it was because I was afraid of being alone with my brain and my body especially as that body got larger and those muscles disappeared. I beat myself up not only for not exercising but also for the stupidity of avoiding doing something I know is good for me and makes me feel better. Then today after my third therapy session (because things have really reached a rock bottom) I was sobbing, I really needed to feel some self-compassion. When I stopped crying I decided to try this video in the hopes it might be of some comfort. As Adriene said to let the tears flow if they come they did start sliding down my nose and splashing onto the mat (the first time that's ever happened to me) and I realised that I have been deliberately withholding yoga from myself. Because I saw it as an act of self-kindness I had decided I wasn't worth it and decided to also berate myself for not taking care of myself. But today, as I cried and sweated and wobbled and struggled with poses I once found as easy as breathing I once again felt that feeling of self-kindness. I don't know when I'll be back on the mat again, I hope sometime this week but I know my brain is a fierce opponent, but in any case when I do manage it I know you'll be here x

[@yogawithadriene]

thanks for sharing, Amber!

[@livvv404]

I can relate to your story; sending some love your way! We deserve yoga!!

[@hippyfriend]

@@livvv404 Thank you so much. Four months on and at the moment I am doing yoga at least four times a week. I completed the thirty days twice and have now started Revolution. I'm so much happier again (therapy was a major thing for me too) and I wish you good things too

[@MaudeLynn]

Thank-you so much for sharing - you have absolutely no idea how much your words affected me. Tears are streaming down my face before even pulling the mat out. Things have gotten so bleak with my health and my mental health that it took me most of the morning to find the video that I felt would be best to start with after a very long break. Your comment reassured me that this is the right choice for me today. Thank-you again, kind stranger - I sincerely hope you are well 2 years later 🥹🥲

[@hippyfriend]

@@MaudeLynn I'm so sorry that life has become so difficult and painful for you. The fact that you got out there today and did it and then chose to share your feelings is amazing, well done! I am doing well, thank you. I'm doing less yoga at the moment but therapy and exercise have done an awful lot for me, I find it hard to look back on how dark things were but I'm glad I have documentation of it and that it's helped other people

[@helka2872]

This week I hit rock bottom. I've been suffering for so long and these past few days I've wanted to end it all. This practice felt like a warm hug. The moment Adriene said to let your tears fall I started to cry. Forever grateful for this community. These videos have helped me fight severe depression and anxiety for years now and kept me from giving up. All things must pass and tomorrow is a new day. Sending love to everyone who needs it! 💞💕

Just reading the comments made me realise how many people are alone and suffering at the moment. It breaks my heart, but also want you all to know that you are here for a purpose, and though things never run smoothly or as planned as we had hoped, if we keep pushing forward and hold our head up high, we will ALL achieve great things. Treat yourself kindly and be patient. There’s only one of you and you can never be replaced. Xx

[@Kalachichan6]

I am a therapist. During this time of COVID-19 I have felt like a warrior, striving to help and support others. Being strong and reliable in a time of uncertainty. Today during this practice I fell apart. I wasn't expecting it. The tears caught me by surprise. I have been doing so much to support others and offer that space to be vulnerable, that I have not given that same attention to myself. I haven't been on my mat in days and as soon as I returned it was there to catch me. I am now letting the tears fall as they wish and taking this time to cleanse and heal. Thank you Adriene.

Last week I was on vacation and didn't get a chance to do this video. I am thirteen years old and I have been doing yoga with adriene everyday for a year now to help ease my anxiety and I love it. But last night, I was on a vacation somewhere else and I couldn't fall asleep and this may sound a bit silly, but I was having a panic attack and crying and I couldn't stop. I decided to turn on this video, at 12:00 at night, and I laid in bed watching it and it calmed me down completely. I wasn't even doing the yoga! But I fell asleep right after that. Thank you so much adriene for all of these high quality yoga videos. They have helped me so much. ❤️

I woke up to this email....it helped me with greeting my day and the loneliness and less I feel. Thank you for such deep attunement ❤

[@Sonification]

Oh this came at the perfect time. I woke up feeling heavy today. My father is battling cancer and my sister and I have been helping make sure he's taken care of, battling insurance, helping him through a divorce process... it's been a lot, and on top of everything else there are some underlying issues with honesty and trust. I've also been going through some financial hardship and through it all coming back to my daily practices and connecting with my heart. This was one of those videos that helped me remember I'm not alone. That I have the strength to move through everything, to let go of whatever needs to be let go, and stay open to the joy that I know is never too far away. It felt a bit farther away this morning, but my time on the mat helped me move a bit closer, helped open my heart up into a space of compassion. Thank you Adriene, and everyone in this loving community!

[@valaya.3]

I just moved into a new apartment yesterday, and with it came all the craziness and chaos of packing, cleaning, unpacking into a new space. I also got really dehydrated, even though I was intentional about drinking water! My body is sore. The tough of this practice was extra tough. I was really impressed by the moment Adriene said, "I love you so much," before giving additional guidance. Suddenly the hard was defined by LOVE instead of it being HARD. What a game changer. Thank you ❤ I love you!

“Bring your left hand to your sweet heart” broke me. I suffered a panic attack last week after going years without a major one so I was ill equipped to handle the “hangover” as well as I used to be able to. I have been out of my mind for a week, feeling anxious about feeling the disconnected from reality / losing your mind feeling that happens during an attack. I didn’t feel “whole” during most of this practice except for this moment. I know I will be okay in time ❤️

[@williamb7275]

One day from my full annual health exam. Practice has helped me realize that it is not really worry but old stored energy in my core that has me bothered. Sure, there is some worry as the mind sends fleeting thoughts of worst cases, but almost almost all of it is just stuck anxious energy from long ago. Not saying I am looking forward to the colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow but as a whole, there is nothing in that short two hour maximum exam that should keep me anxious. This sequence really helped to reduce the body's anxiety, particularly when we had leg raised. That is when I especially felt a lot of dissipation. Still have some but not nearly as much as I have had the last days. Nourish day 17. 409 days in a row

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Love Day - 13 was a unique experience. There was a lot of pressure on my shoulders. Perhaps I needed to modify. We all experience some form of suffering in our lives. One of my yoga teachers encourages me to dance 💃🏾 in the obstacle. It's really about our perception. This is my first time practicing this session. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋

I get so much out of these practices. Thank you Adriene. You are a beautiful human

[@valerieh5400]

Agreed, thank you Adriene, I’m feeling a bit more calm. My intention for the day is to be kind and gentle to myself, and others.

[@YogaMeetsFitness]

I am a yoga instructor for Korea speaking people and I watch your videos to correct my position and learn something new :) and I still have a long way too go~ I love the way you to teach each position~ Thank you Adriene!

[@Katsutube12]

Thank You!!! You have no idea how much this touch my soul right now... you are amazing, motivated and encouraging... speaking from the heart! i'm encouraged that tomorrow will be a better day for me, thank you to this Yoga Flow!!! keep being you ♥ ♥

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

Blessed Beloved Beauties! I substituted Greet Day 5 for Yoga for lower back pain which gave me great relief. Although, as I take a glimpse of this session it appears it will be wise to return to the mat before bedtime. I do feel like I'm suffering through completing final grades, so I may return once I'm done to celebrate!!! 🎉👏🏿💐 Best wishes, everyone!🦋❤️🦋

[@RaeLoumusic]

I had an awful nightmare last night and barely any sleep. My body feels achey and inflamed this morning, so I picked this video… helpful! Thank you, Adriene! 🙏🏻💛

Renew Day 29: It's a dark, dreary day here in upstate New York, a perfect setting for Yoga for Suffering. Anyone else out there from Renew?

[@VrushaliKhadilkar]

Meee

[@sarahgreen6855]

Me too. Loved the practice in a sunny but chilly UK

[@michelelastovica4670]

Me as well, a lovely day in Nebraska

[@kasehill1310]

It’s a little cloudy down here in Florida too. This practice is perfect for today

Dark and chilly, foggy and rainy here in Toronto

Namaste 😊🙏❤️🌟

GREET 🌅 | May 5, 2024 | A great reminder that when things are tough, we can recruit strength from within and around us for support. There's a lot of shoulders in this practice, but once we realize that we can support the shoulders with our core, glutes, legs - it's not so hard. 🙏

[@nataliehopper9968]

My tears were fall on the mat but you made me feel supported and loved, thank you more than words can say x I love you too Adriene 🥰 and always grateful you are there x x I hope anyone out there needing support they find their way to you ❤❤❤❤

[@belle4337]

Sending my love to all here! Thanks Adriene for connecting us with healing yoga x

[@w.hamilton3327]

What a heart centred group this is. Here we are October end 2021 and the world has gone even deeper into craziness. Feeling so lost in uncertainty and using all of my tools to help myself through this mess. It's becoming more and more of a challenge to get excited about anything. I know that eventually when we get to the other side of this thing that we will all collectively start anew and it is my heartfelt wish that it is better than we could have ever imagined. I must keep this in my heart or my days are very dark. I am so grateful for this community and all of the love tat is here even though most posts are 2 years ago. To me it is today as love is timeless. Thanks to everyone here who comments and shares their heart and love. Thank you Adriene beautiful soul for sharing your time with us and thank you to Benji who just makes me smile.

[@mashereeamor]

I love how when I come to the mat sometimes my headache goes away. Today I really loved hearing 'I got your back', 'focus on your centre and get support from within' and 'I love you so much'. I love how on this channel, yoga isn't just about physical but also emotional and spiritual strength, flexibility and so on

[@Hlidskjalfarer]

Thank you so much Adriene🙏 i felt really sad and in pain when i came to the mat, but just 20 minutes with you and something shifted. Yoga is really magical some times

[@sevenjets]

Still here for GREET May 2024. Still suffering ... it's part of life ... but dealing with it better. Am I really dealing with it better? Is it only different because the suffering has changed? I'm at a point where I don't care either way, it is what it is, just trying to make it through life, one day at a time. Still so grateful for these practices and I am making the effort to get down to the mat every day. Sometimes that means switching up the practices, as time and my daily constitution (body & mind) allow. Doing it. No excuses. I always feel better afterward. I noticed a change in attitude, too. Instead of seeing daily yoga as another chore, it is now something I crave. Sending love to the community and gratitude to Adriene, Benji & the team for all these wonderful videos! Extra hugs to everyone who is struggling. We got this. We are strong. ❤💪

[@nyeacnyeac1842]

adriene, you are so important to me. thank you for existing, hope you have an amazing day!

[@lightbeingform]

I didn't know I needed this so much but I thought, "On paper, I am suffering... maybe this will help me in some way," although I could not imagine how. Somewhere halfway through, the 'magic of yoga' had me in the throes of release, tears coming down, breathing deeply to meet them. What a profound magic. I have always known yoga to be this magical unfolding, but it is tricky for me to find teachers I trust to go there with. This teacher is kind and loving, and home is (finally) the safest zone. I am getting a lot out of this at-home practice as I journey through a major life transition. You never forget your best guides and role models - Adriene is one of the best!

[@susanwinter3077]

So pleasant to do in these difficult times

[@sheluxuries]

"I got your back." 😭😍 I love you, Adriene!!

[@light2b1]

Today I came to this practice because I was dealing with feelings of anxiety and anguish. The ongoing israelo-palestinian conflict is horrific. This practice grounded me in a moment of chaos, giving my body and mind a sense of unity and peace. Thank you Adriene once again❤️ I will pray for peace tonight

[@emilylovesthesea]

I am here for the same reason. Horrific images are seared into my brain and every day brings new ones. Praying for peace as well.

[@shadanzahrooni8416]

I don't know what it is but everytime I get the notification for a new practice from Adriene, a big, bright, ear to ear smile sits on my face, automatically eliminating any negativity in a matter of an instant. I guess such spells of wonder do exist outside of the Harry Potter wizardry world. They feel so much better in the real world in my opinion. I've started a challenge to tend to myself and go deep inside more often, of course, disconnecting from the professional world as a part of my night routine. And obviously, Adriene's yoga videos are a pivotal component of that night routine. Thank you Adriene for inviting us to the world of self love and transforming our lives for the better through the work you do. Much love. Namaste.

[@ConstanceMarkiewicz]

I don't know how many times you've really saved me from spiralling thoughts and sadness or physical pain. Thank you.❤

[@konijntjeo1515]

My cat died this morning, he has been a part of life at every significant moment from child hood primary school, to my first day of highschool, to graduation, during university, my gap year and now back at university. He is my comfort, my sweetheart, my hope in this world. And now that he is gone my heart feels heavy. I am trying to cope through positive methods such as journaling, talking to a friend, looking through photos and of course yoga. I used to just eat my feelings away but instead I am practicing healthy alternative. I sobbed through this but it’s what I needed. Thank you Adrienne 💓

[@carolina_almeida]

sending love, take care!

[@sarahmclin2434]

I was crying when I did this video today. It has been a rough day. Doing this with Adriene and her saying that it is ok to feel what I feel helped. It felt like having a friend. Thank you for sharing this video. I feel much better now.

[@loublou5886]

Swapped this with day 16 of Nourish as I left work a little early feeling a touch under the weather. I'm not suffering terribly but this felt more like what I needed than yoga for a flexible mind and body. Love to all those doing this because they are suffering. May you find healing 🙏

Thanks very much Adriene I love you so much. I'm feeling so awesome. I Appreciate your Sunday morning love ❤️ letter. You're the best. Blessings to my yoga family. Namaste.

[@debjacobson9800]

Thank you Adriene 🧘🏼‍♀️

[@InaiNingyou]

I can only assume it's because of the slow deliberate guidance into these poses, but even though I'm on day 36 of Renew, a good portion of this video brought so much pain into my shoulders I wanted to cry and had to stop and move out of it. My first reaction was frustration with myself because I "should" be able to handle it after this many practices, but I remembered everything you say about trusting yourself and knowing your body and never sitting in any sharp pain, and I was able to acknowledge that I can only meet myself where I am today. The fact that I stuck with what I was able to is enough. Thank you for always creating these lessons from a place of kindness and acceptance of yourself first above everything else.

[@georgianally]

I've been having the hardest time in my life right now and I can't bring myself to do this practice right now but I feel comforted to know that it's here when I feel ready

[@jelenanedeljkovic605]

Namaste 🧡

[@sarakennelty4914]

Not suffering, just working through the November 21 nourish calendar. This slow practice was a good way to be more mindful and focused though. Wishing a peaceful evening to all, especially those who may be hurting.
