Yoga For When You Feel Dead Inside

[@yogawithadriene]

Hellooooo everyone! Are you feeling more alive after today's practice?

[@leal6932]

Tbh, the intro was enough to make me feel more alive. Iconic.

[@greyheists]

Yes! I love this practise so much!! My birthday is on Halloween so I'm always looking for some more spooky items and this was exactly what I needed 🎃 🕸️ 🧡

[@TheRoMandaloriaN]

It's Alive! Thank you Adriene and Benji for the zombie flow. Now I want brains 🧠! Haha jk I've found what feels good this morning! Thank you so much for the feelgood vibes of the practice, y'all!

[@ajt3280]

Adrien, I never thought of myself as a person that does yoga. I am not sure why that is as it is such a special gift you can give yourself. I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. The way you explain things makes yoga feel more approachable.

[@labbott5517]

Love this!!! Next year wear scary makeup the whole practice. And if you do, I’ll wear a costume when I follow along!!

[@JasonJohnson]

Can't wait for the "Yoga for when you spent 7 hours in virtual meetings and only changed out of your pajamas to go to the store for dinner but forgot your mask so you just went back home and ate crackers."

[@miriamveselova6801]

[@essay7425]

Exactely the same with me and my days!! Your words hit the nail exactely on top 👍👍

[@starblue324]

Thought this would be a Halloween joke video but then it got real. Thanks Adriene

[@lauraalderton4009]

I cried like a baby when Adriene started acknowledging that we might feel numb and empty. I've felt that way for weeks and I've been trying to ignore it and just power through the days, doing my 30 days of Home. Cried again at the end when she said to thank yourself. It's so easy to get caught up in what you aren't doing well enough, where you're weak. It's much harder to acknowledge your strength. Thank you for this.

[@j2dtwo]

@Laura thank you for being here and thank you for sharing.

[@moseschrist1113]

`that we might feel numb and empty` i feel dumb and empty all the time

[@syndhika]

same:(

[@tuanoini]

I cried too. When I lifted my palms to meet the third eye, one tear ran into my ear :D But honestly Adriene, I've never needed your loving eyes more. Thank you.

[@Nikki-ci7xr]

I have been feeling the same way for quite some time. So know that you are not alone

[@emilydodge1893]

You see me, Adriene. You know, without me telling you, my depression has been running high. Because I'm not the only one. I've done this video twice now this week because I need it. It's easy but gets my blood flowing which in turn settles my mind. Blood flow is so key to mental health. I know "dead' is in relation to Halloween but it's also just so fitting to how I've been feeling. My depression has been roaring for so long and I'm so tired of those nasty thoughts. It feels like my mind is slowly killing me but when I crawl onto the mat yoga helps me battle those thoughts back into a big creek instead of the amazon river. So thank you for "being there" for me and for everyone else who fights this same battle. You are a light in people's darkness. Your themes, your comments, your jokes, Benji, they all accumulate and are helpful. I appreciate you encouraging people to take action for their self-care and even to take action and vote. I see you on social media. lol Your message of telling people their in/actions matter and have consequences. No matter how small an action, no matter how obscure a person feels they all contribute to the whole that is life. Thank you

[@rahulraina6303]

Big hug and Namaste to you Emily. Hope you are doing well.

[@laurareed2612]

🖤

[@StardustEarthing]

On top of yoga I highly recommend daily meditation practice, starting from 5 min and increasing slowly to at least 15-20 mins per day, more is always better. I think it's the best thing anyone can do for their mental health. It's a hard practice, because you have to face everything that is inside you, but through that you will learn that your thoughts & emotions are not You, but just something you (the real you!) can observe peacefully. It truly changes your life when you learn to do that. All the light and love in the world is right inside you, just waiting to be discovered. Sending you love and hugs from Finland ❤

[@purpurina5663]

I hope you're feeling better!

[@jolaade_adekunle]

Thank you so much for this….

[@Moll_Nutkin]

I wonder if there's scope for more practices like this? Like 'Yoga for when you messed up,' 'Yoga for when You're Sulking,' 'Yoga for when you've lost your sense of humour,' 'Yoga for when you don't want to do yoga'... if this practice is anything to go on I believe you would bring both respect to the experiences and the possibility for a little breath of lightness and shift. What I learned from today's practice is that sometimes we aren't ready for the shift until we've acknowledged the state. For instance, we might not click 'Yoga for Self-Forgiveness' say, if we're still in the 'I messed up' headset? Thank you, as ever, Adriene x

[@ThePinkyonline]

yes pleaase!!

[@corid.2368]

Adriene has one for grief, suffering, and "broken heart". I also found this video to be helpful, though I did have to modify some poses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmavhYOFq5d4msk

[@sophia9252]

yoga for when you don't want to do yoga is a good one

[@bunnyhopsy7605]

Yes I couldn’t agree more with this! What made Yoga easier for me today was the idea that I knew Adriene wouldn’t push too hard, and it was done with humour. I really didn’t feel like doing yoga today, but she made it feel more approachable for me and I’m so glad I did it now!

[@tanyaspisbah2172]

I love 'yoga for when you're sulking'! Hilarious! i'd totally do that :)

[@emi5807]

Finally, something for me to do every day for the rest of this year.

Right now my country is going through an extremely tough war and the past one month I was feeling dead inside and broken. But during this hard times yoga with Adriene is the one thing that takes my thoughts away from my dead brothers and friends and always reminds to keep calm and stay clear. Thank you for your efforts and thank you to me for becoming stronger with you every day for already 5 months. 😌💜

[@shadanzahrooni8416]

Perfect timing. I've been feeling dead inside ever since I started doing school remotely. I'm glad to always have you by my side, Adriene, particularly this weekend which has led me to having a panic attack. I don't know what I would have done without your yoga videos that are there every day to remind me of where I'm headed in life and why I'm headed there. It's something that I feel I have lost sense of ever since I started school, that sense of purpose and direction. Thank you for once again reminding me that I'm not alone and that this too will come to pass one day. Hang in there everybody. Namaste.

[@sara13.88]

I feel like I'm in the same situation right know. You're not alone. We're not alone. 💙💙 I hope we can find our direction again soon. Sending love. 💌💌

[@dansalamone8217]

Thank you for sharing. I also feel this way the last couple weeks. I think it all stems from the situation were in. I’ve been through worse situations than this and yes they do always pass. This will be over one day. Especially for you because your in school which means you have SO much ahead of you, you have no idea what’s coming. Good things you’ll see. Namaste and thank you 🙏

[@amberkendle656]

You are not alone. I had to tell my two teen boys they are going back to online schooling since the numbers here began to climb, the school building is being shut down. My heart aches knowing that the social interaction they were getting was keeping them in a decent place. Now not only is my mental health suffering but so is theirs. Dead inside is sort of an understatement.

[@kmurphy5010]

Shadan, See a doctor/psychiatrist for you panic attacks. I didn’t & they got so bad I was hospitalized for 5 days in August😔. A mild antidepressant has helped reregulate my brain chemistry & I’m doing so much better. Working at home since covid started was partly responsible. I think we all just miss our daily in person interactions🙏🏼

You actually astonish me every time Adriene. I’ve been incredibly disassociated since I lost my best friend on July 23rd, he was my little chihuahua who saved my life and done yoga with me. I haven’t stepped on the mat since, it’s been to upsetting. I done this practice on my bedroom floor with a blanket instead of my mat. It was so very needed, it’s the first piece of self care I’ve allowed myself. Thank you Adriene, thank you so much.

[@avaroberts5295]

I've been in a depression hole for weeks now and this is the first time I've felt actually, really present in a really long time. Thank you so much, Adrienne

[@jaemaxx]

I know this supposed to be a light themed Halloween video but I have been doing this video whenever the NARC abuse i'm facing leaves my nervous system in a state of Freeze.When your nervous system is in freeze state (one of the reasons is such narc abuse) your prefrontal cortex (thinking Brain) goes offline and your Amgydala (anxious brain) is highly active.But doing this video helps shift your nervous system to PNS (peripheral nervous system) state (rest and digest state) and you're literally rewiring your nervous system and brain to feel safe.I'm so grateful for this video,thank you A❤

[@marisaveilleux8533]

God it didn’t even come to mind that the name was Halloween themed, I totally thought it was geared for when you feel so depressed, lost, anxious, etc that you feel dead inside 😂😩

my family and I got COVID-19 almost 2 months ago. this includes me, my dad, my younger sister, my mom (which is a breast cancer survivor) and my grandparents, both with chronic conditions and diseases. my grandpa couldn't make it. it has been 1 month and a half and it's still the hardest thing I've ever gone through in my whole life. going through grief while you're also trying to recover and help the rest of your family members do the same really makes you feel drained, tired, hopeless and basically dead inside. what I know for sure is that this practice will help me tremendously, Adriene, and I'm so thankful for having you because you always seem to know what some of us are going through and do your best to help us ❤️ I know this was meant for Halloween, but your whole channel is a blessing and I know I'm gonna find a practice for everything!

[@sharonrayneryoga]

Such a difficult time, I wish you all the best. 💕

[@thatsomewan]

“Breath into your stomach like you love yourself” Thank you!

[@christinelongden7198]

I am so grateful for your kind words reminding me that I am worthy. I experienced a wave of emotion because I do feel lost. I’m trying every day not to give up on myself. Thank you 😊

[@RCGrulz]

Everything you said really resonated with me, im literally crying. Thank you

[@amandamartin8354]

Came for the Halloween theme (this was literally the best intro ever), stayed for the mental shift. This was an awesome routine - my week has been emotional hell at work and I really needed this slow down and introspection.

[@mackenzieknowlton]

The perfect laugh at the beginning of this video to set a positive tone ! Grateful as always for you Adriene and Benji !

[@CeciliaKautzman]

PLAY 🪁 | October 29, 2022 | This practice for sure wakes up the powerful flow of our breath, I wasn't really feeling dead inside today, but this still did the trick! I love the dead bug pose at the end, there's something very freeing about shaking your limbs! Play is almost a wrap! Can't wait to see what's waiting on the calendar in November! 🙏

[@ramunediscount]

Saw this after not being on my mat for literally like 6 months, just every day the same old sit on the couch, watch tv until it's time to sleep, repeat. Showed up today just to see what was new on the channel and saw this. How does Adriene always know what we need?!

[@b41l337]

Hey Adriene, I know you probably won't see this but I began yoga by watching your videos a few months ago and it's the only physical activity that I find myself actually yearning to do. This one in particular struck a chord for me, it's been the most stressful month of my life and every single day has been nonstop in every aspect of my life. I forced myself to practice for the first time in a week today because of how busy I've been and this video popped up; it was the first time I actively expressed gratitude in a little over a week as well, and ngl, it brought me to tears lol. Just wanted you/anyone who happens to be reading this who may not know if yoga is worth it to start, to know that it definitely is and that it's changed my life and has definitely made today in particular take a 180 degree turn. I am so grateful to have found your channel. Thank you!!!

[@jordanashleybarney]

Adriene coming in hot and literally saving 2020. This legit just made my whole morning!!!!

[@onsenloverjapan]

I was sick in bed for a couple of days and really felt 💀... now I feel much much alive! Gracias Adriene!

[@heatherkayokay]

I was so confused when I was suddenly crying at the end... then saw I wasn’t alone! 🥺🖤

[@jemeilleure]

You’ve never been alone.

[@prarthanachandra6646]

My favourite youtube channel cuz: A) it’s Adriene B) it’s at home yoga C) all humans(and pets) in this community are so kind and caring and supportive! The comments section proves how much gentleness is there in the world if we’re willing to look in the right places D) it is absolutely incredible: the things you do on the mat and how they affect your life off the mat. I am an interning doctor and have been super busy off late and just 20-30 minutes completely change my outlook on the work I have to do. The hip openers always leave me super emotional and in tears for some reason and that is so cathartic and liberating. Lots of love and light to you all!

[@annanovakova908]

The end made me cry. Truly thank you to you, to myself, to everyone.

[@monamange2993]

The shake in this video is enough to wake the dead inside up. What a great idea. Thank you Adriene.

[@aliarif4723]

I always feel more alive after doing the 'dead bug'. Thanks Adriene!

[@cherylyeo25]

A year ago... this is so cute! enjoy the flow and the shaking at the end :) nice! loving the special effects! Namaste to all practising :)

[@laurenzarbis]

When I first came across this video a couple of weeks ago, I was struck by the title and thought it was silly but I was curious. Here I am just 2 weeks later, feeling dead inside and haven’t been able to shake it for the last couple of days and this video calls to me. Thank you for normalizing feelings with the pure sense of acknowledgement that we can feel dead inside and that’s okay. And for reminding us that we are still worthy of this beautiful life. There’s a subtly that was touched in me under the numbness. Thank you and namaste Adrian

[@jasminetidswell6310]

thank you for this, I've had this video up on my tab for 2 days while I hide from the world in a depressed netflix binge, doing this video is the first step to feeling alive again

[@purple_glue]

Partner: Why are you sticking your tongue out? Me: I'm being a lizard 🦎 Partner: *copies my pose and sticks his tongue out*

[@laurakaye5086]

You’ve found yourself a catch

[@crapolaist]

Partner: Why are you pretending to be a dead bug? Me: It's yoga... Partner: *joins me acting like a dead bug*

[@sannegroen9406]

hahaha

[@marissabyrne7631]

Aw I love this ❤️

[@hayleyrydberg9652]

Literally got out of bed saying “I just don’t feel like myself lately” and hopped on YWA to see what you might have and this was perfect. I couldn’t help but smile and giggle at the end when we shook it all out. I’m feeling closer to myself again. Thank you 💕

[@brittnicain5253]

Perfect timing for this, haven't been able to enjoy anything lately and haven't done yoga in months. Now if I can just find a way to distract the toddlers so I can actually focus on myself for 30 min. without becoming a human jungle gym...

[@stevenbedecki3007]

Thank you so much Adriene, the past week has been hectic with a breakup with my girlfriend and I have felt pretty down and out. This practice made me realize that there is so much love for me in the universe (from yoga with you, friends, family, strangers) and there is no need to keep my head down. All things are temporary, but the strength and the willingness to say yes and to accept where you are at is always present. Thank you for the constant reminders to accept, love, and stay present. You help me feel alive everyday. Sending love from Waterloo, Ontario!

[@catherineaillerie5134]

Hello Adriene, I say thank you to myself for having found the energy to come onto the mat with you, because I knew without a doubt that you would help me deal with a particularly difficult day. But I especially and deeply thank YOU for being who you are, for doing what you do, and for truly caring for us. I have been following you for years, and at first you seemed like a child to me but I was still already impressed with your depth of heart, your knowledge of yoga and of your utter true kindness and bienveillance (sorry, I can’t find the equivalent in English). And now, maybe fifteen years later you have grown as a woman, as a human being, and as a teacher. I am honoured to be among your followers. Thank you.

[@KiaraBhanushali]

HAHHAH! My PCOS literally had me feeling like the start of this video on the inside. When I saw a visual representation and the perfect title, I finally laughed after a very depressing morning, joined in on this yoga routine and I just want to say thank you! #relatable.

[@leahsharp760]

I have PCOS too and felt very much the same way. Sometimes a bit of self love is all we need to pull us out of that feeling of hopelessness ❤️ rock on cyster

[@emilypaul6605]

Well, I cried, then I laughed, then Ifelt silly and laughed some more and now I feel better. Mission accomplished.

[@jeffreyleegerdes7]

Was feeling like a casket-case this morning and almost didn't dust off the cobwebs and carve out the time to frighten up my day :/ Glad I did, you go ghoul! Howl out to BenjiBeast.

[@amykarwowski1529]

This post is adorable 🖤⚰️🖤⚰️

[@heleenoomen2503]

Thank you Adriene SO MUCH, for making me feel very much alive, after battling depression and anxiety for years. Your videos help me be thankful for finally showing up for myself. Some days I feel like maybe the demons are back, and this video helped me relativise, look for the light and feel cared for.

[@marjolein-1809]

This was very helpful. Did not really feel anything when i started except for intense exhaustion. Now I feel more. I feel sad and angry but that is better than feeling nothing. Thank you

[@janetheald5616]

I appreciated this workout. The “bug” helped me feel silly and just let go. With everything going on today it is so nice to just turn on yoga and relax for a few minutes. Thank you! 🧘🏼‍♀️

[@ErzsCal]

Thank you Adriene ☀️ Day25 Still Okt’21 See you tomorrow 🧘🏻‍♀️ Namaste 🙏🏻

[@fricketyfracktraintrack]

Finally, a video that addresses why I often do yoga in the first place.

[@alexism6779]

I’ve not done yoga for almost two months because quarantine has me down, and going back to school, and having a full time job, and mental health... this video is the best thing I’ve done for myself in a while. Thank you 🧡

[@sianinaylea6694]

I've been feeling dead for the last 3 days, just sleeping so much.... this helped me! thanks once again, Adrienne!
