Day 8 - Snuggle | BREATH - A 30 Day Yoga Journey

[@yogawithadriene]

This session continues to help us learn about the philosophy of yoga too. For example, snuggling up to the role of the observer has changed my whole life. Off the mat, this practice has allowed me to pause more, and notice my reaction before I make a choice on how I want to consciously react to that emotional response. This has helped me to be a better listener, to move with more mindfulness, and to act with greater intention and purpose.

[@greetm6265]

After this practice I'm in tears 😪 feeling really emotional... but oh soo happy 🙂🙏 Thank you Adriane really thank you from the heart 💕 Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@piingfaan]

really appreciated your being in the moment and lead us in the peaceful way with great description!

[@raesims9372]

I just want to say that I am really loving the microphone picking up your heart beat during moments of silence. It’s very grounding.

I'm really digging Benji's character ark so far this season

[@ramblinwreck1303]

Me too. Fortunately, he's signed a contract for 2 seasons.

[@khushikaur1260]

Indeed. His character was so controversial at first, but I’m growing to like him. He might have the best character development of the first season.

Yes 👍. She has such a clean sense of humor and she inspires me to have radical acceptance and unconditional love and respect for myself since I subscribed to her channel.

[@Kaiyamusic]

I haven't been doing these daily but been doing them chronologically as I can fit them into my life and as it feels right. In the 3 years that I've been doing these 30 day journeys this is the first year I've allowed myself this freedom without guilt and shame and have enjoyed the practices so much more because of the self Love that's come with that allowing. I'm so grateful to be growing in this direction and with such an incredible guru. Love you Adriene

[@tamsin7460]

I am also doing these chronologically not daily. Its like a box of chocolates, to truly enjoy each session you might want a few breaks. Also I am a shift worker, so there are times when "doing what feels good" =sleeping

I too am doing them in order and not every day! Your comment speaks to my experience and feelings almost exactly - thank you so much for articulating!

Does anyone else feel like Adriene reads their mind? She knows exactly what to say when you need it as if she is in an in-person class with you. She is channelling some serious yogi powers, haha. Love me a good restorative practice, namaste and see everyone tomorrow

[@krystalmacknight]

Yes yes yes... Even the schedule of Yoga and the plan of the day is so psychic. I always know it's the right one on the day. Trust the process. So good. So Yummy!

[@alorange3764]

Day 8 always feels like a reward. Well done everyone. Let’s take this calm and move forward. See you tomorrow. Peace and love.

[@phunkygemini]

It IS a reward. People ask me sometimes, “how do you make yourself exercise everyday?” My approach is in complete opposition with this line of thinking. Every day my body functions well enough to allow the movements/breathing techniques of yoga is a gift to receive. So, it’s never a matter of “making myself” do it. It’s a matter of accepting one of life’s precious gifts and never taking it for granted.

[@hollyschafer3230]

I am feeling the reward, so relaxed! Thanks Adriene!

Today I am sad. But i'm on day 8 of this pratice and I am learning to breath and let go. I spent most of this practice with tears running down my face, letting them flow with my breath. This snuggle is what I needed. To be kind to myself, accept this pain and these emotions, breath out and let them go. Reading the kind & encouraging comments makes me smile a bit. See you all tomorrow.

I've shed countless tears on the mat too Charlotte, but also laughed, grown in confidence also humility. It's mad the thoughts & emotions that come up. Sending love from my mat to yours & hope on day 9 you feel even better. See you tomorrow! xxx

Today's practice was very hard for me, even though physically it was the easiest one. I didnt feel as if I deserved taking such a long break to just relax. My mind was jumping from one thought to another and I almost quit after fifteen minutes. But I remembered why I started practicing yoga with you years ago. I remembered that this was exactly the place where I needed to be at that moment. So I stayed. And I am incredibly grateful for that. Thank you very much Adriene for everything you offer to so many people in this world. And thank you to everyone else for practicing as well

[@elaineeselun1405]

Beautifully said and so relatable. Sending you lots of love!

Being still with ourselves is super difficult. Don't give up. There are some days you can do it better than others. Try to just observe that without judgement.

[@Davidonaa]

I feel the same! The hardest practices for me are the ones when I have to sit still and close my eyes. My mind is always racing and I get cross with myself for not being able to sit still. I feel you

It honestly made me a bit emotional to listen to you talk to us and yourself so kindly because I realized that being so hard on yourself is not going to work. Lately I’ve been realizing that thinking that I want to do something like finish my thesis or work out, I want to do it because I deserve the results it gives me and the peace of mind instead of being way too hard on myself and saying I’ll be a failure if I don’t

[@triciamoss9074]

It is amazing what happens when you encourage yourself like you would a good friend. Be kind to all, yourself included! It is one of the very best things I've learned from Adriene. You deserve all the success that your hard work brings. Love from NC USA

[@bettysjoy7379]

“Don’t worry if your leg is shaking”. Not sure if anyone else’s left was shaking but mine was at the exact moment. Amazing session. Never done a snuggle yoga before. Thanks Adriene, you are showing me that I can strengthen my body without lifting weights or HIITs 💪

[@FrancienMusic]

Thank you so much, Adriene, this was a beautiful session. I did it yesterday morning and it helped me so much. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, because of extreme fear, and in the afternoon I had to undergo a root canal treatment. I did this session in the morning, making me feel calm and safe, and in the dentist chair I went back in my mind, back to my mat, where it was just me, the earth and my breath. I got through and felt so proud and powerful. Thank you, Adriene. Looking forward to the rest of the 30 days.

[@deshong5047]

I don't know about anyone else, but the practice today made me very emotional, especially at the end, laying down. I started to tear up when I realized that I could -and I hope this doesn't sound silly- snuggle up to myself, my soul. And feel held by myself. So often in my life I've been looking for someone else to cuddle me and hold me and make me feel safe. After this Leo full moon I told myself I was going to let go of the need for someone else to make me feel safe, and create it myself. And here I am, laying on my mat all alone-feeling like an infant held by their mother but it's all me. Thank you Adriene, you have no idea what your videos have done to really change my life.

I did today's practice in the corridor as we're in lockdown and don't have much space, with my housemates all around me making lots of noise on video calls and walking through the flat. It was definitely a disruptive environment which feels very familiar when my mind gets super busy and it's hard to ground or focus on my breath. It wasn't perfect and it was hard to follow the thread throughout but it was pretty useful practice for when things are really hectic and when this kind of practice comes in most useful!

[@margaretclitherow7313]

The first time I practiced this session, I remember my heart being struck by the knowledge that all the love I desire is always well within my power to give to myself.

I’ve never felt more connected to adriene than when she talked about wrapping herself up like a burrito. Felt zen AF today! TY as always adriene!!

[@Theile100]

My cat watched with me till the last few minutes when she fell asleep with a sigh ! She couldn't take her eyes off Benji, there might be a connection there! Thank you for today, Day 8 is pure bliss ❤️ Love from Greece❤️

[@jenaandmick]

My cat watches Benji, too! ❤️

[@francescacolonnello5270]

Mine just loves to snuggle between my crossed legs and has a nap while I breathe!

[@merlin8046]

Awwwww I'm leaving this one for the evening cuz I may fall asleep instead of going to work after that practice 💚

[@glerm23]

I had the same idea, and just finished the video :~) This is the perfect before-bed practice.

[@rosie3325]

Doing these practices over the years has given me a self-care toolkit that has been invaluable this past year. Thank you so much Adriene, we need you now more than ever!

[@alochetto3336]

Oh, my goodness.... I was going to skip this and do it later so I could be on the same day as you are. I am SO HAPPY I DID NOT DO THAT! Wow, wow, wow....is all I have to say. I connected the dots this morning and did I need that. It's Sunday January 10, 2021 during these tumultuous times. Adriene, thank you. Words are not enough to express my gratitude right now! sending love xoxo ~namaste

Everyone! We made it to the day 8! 😀🙌👋 I have various chronic illnesses amd dealing with bad chronic pain, cant do a lot of poses and until today mostly stayed on my mat and breathed while watching Benji now and then since today was most restorative I could make some more, it feels so good afterwards and emotional as well..being honest, I find myself crying during or after practice and I am grateful for learning to snuggle during struggle :) thank you, girl! Sending hugs to all of you from Slovakia! Also, learning to properly breath at 34 is challenging 🙂

This is the best 30 Day Yoga Journey Adriene ever created 💜💙💛💚❤

[@carolinedegorce5489]

So far Adrienne has quoted Destiny's Child, the Spice Girls and now Christina Aguilera. I feel like all that's missing is a litle Britney reference for my life to be complete.

[@ceakae]

Yesss! I had that song stuck in my head the rest of the day, but I love it! 💛

[@azraaydn737]

I cant even explain how comfy i was. it is raining outside my cat is sleeping on my bed im relaxing on the floor with a dim light hearing beautiful voice of Adrienne ✨🙏

[@anacbarreto8325]

For 2 years now, i've been stuck in a memory. Letting go is a practice.

The Christina Aguilera bit was so random that I laughed out loud. Good way to start a day!

[@TheNae14]

I absolutely agree, it reminds me that Adriene is relatable to me singing in my head too!

[@melissachanthalangsy3091]

I love how she just burst into song and then went back to the practice as if nothing happened. Love her and her videos.

[@JirynkaC06]

This fantastic channel came to my life last year. And now it's my 300th day in a row with Yoga With Adriene. And I just want to say - thank you. Some days I am excited, some days I don't feel like it, some days I have schedule so tight, it seems impossible, some days I can hardly get out of bed. But every day is a little better with you in it. And it is worth it to stick to it and have something to hold on. You are amazing and sweet and strong and you make the world a better place.

[@lucie.aidart]

Just finished this practice, and hanging out here with a hot tea, my giant blanket, on the mat looking at trees out of the window. All about the small moments!

[@KaetoEYO]

Adrienne I don't think I would be coping with everything right now if it weren't for you. Thank you so much teaching me to love myself and give myself time during such a difficult time I really can't tell you how much strength this gives me thank you

[@TheAngie8394]

Hearing her heart beating at the end was the most intimate moment ever! Thank you for that, I truly felt her company in my room! So amazing to feel the energy of yoga , thank you Adriene!

[@lillyskyscraper6]

Today is the coldest day of the year so far, my period came to visit and yesterday I had a really hard time with practice. But it feels like you knew exactly what I needed and today's practice felt amazing. This was great. Thank you Adriene and thank you everyone joining, you all are great!

[@MsBaruschka]

I was overthinking a lot but this "coming back to your body" is always nice. Benji is expert at this also I see, we can learn from him lots. 😁 Flowers to you and Benji 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@jenb7756]

Still grieving Wednesday's event. Releasing tension and getting into my body and breath was exactly what I needed

[@kathya8083]

I have not been practicing with Adrienne lately. I have done the 30 day yoga challenges several times, but have gotten into more Pilates and strength training. Today something told my I needed YWA and I feel like I’ve been welcomed home and embraced. I needed restoration and I was drawn to the title “ Snuggle” for a bedtime practice. My autonomous nervous system thanks you - just what I needed and every kink and sore spot is magically gone. Namaste 🙏

[@mtndoc1]

Your play of snuggle is allowing a touching intimacy of breath and soul that creates more then connection but the beginnings of the essence of love. Thank you.

[@patriciaroman5161]

OMG this was AMAZING! I locked my bedroom door with a sign that said "Yoga!" So my kids would get the message and I had this 30 minutes all to myself. Love, love, love restorative practice.

[@katherinerodriguez6175]

This made me laugh out loud....love the locked door and sign!

[@toweraridley5206]

Just done this in my pj’s to start the day (as with all the previous days 😅) but might do this one again this evening to get into sleep mode... so calming and cosy! Greetings to all from Scotland

[@caitlinbyrne9601]

Me too.

[@elliewatson6132]

I've had a hell of a day, full of anxiety, my shoulders are so tense. My little one is asleep, the candles are lit, time to breathe 💚 Thank you to everyone doing this journey, you are all motivating me to continue to show up for myself

[@jnjesco7200]

Hang in there mama - your baby will benefit from your commitment to practice as well! xoxo

[@srish._.tea19]

The greatest thing about this yoga practice is it keeps the spirit of Yoga alive. I love how you can see Adriene making mistakes with left and right and yet, you still let it go and continue with your practice. That is what I bring off the matt. And Benji is the OG yoga dog, he is calm as a cucumber!

[@clarityc481]

Day 8: It says some things about me that I waded through the first week of practice, in spite of aching muscles and poses I'd never seen before, and kept up every single day, and it's this kind self-care practice that I put off for an entire day instead. It's been a long, hard, strange, terrible week, and I am being kind to myself this weekend. I'm glad to have had this. I'm glad to have brought myself to do it. I knew it would be warm and good and feel good to do, and I let it slide away for a day and a half because, well, I didn't need to push myself and force myself to do something that felt GOOD, did I? I only got myself to the mat by reminding myself that I wouldn't feel able to do the hard, important things if I didn't get through this nice one first. The nice things are important too. This was worth my time, not just as a necessary unskippable step in the thirty days, but on its own merit. I'm glad to have done it. Everyone else was on Day 9 today, but I'll do Day 9 tomorrow, and if I stay a day behind for the rest of the month so be it. I'm still not alone. Thousands of people are a day behind, or two days, or three. Thousands of people will find this sequence in the future, next week or next month or next year, and it will still be worth it. We all move at our own pace.

[@perlagonzalez4075]

After receiving sad news of my aunt passing away last night I couldn’t get up to do anything. When I saw snuggle on today’s title I hit the mat with a blanket and truly felt a lot better. I feel so calm and finally let all the tears out. Somehow I feel like Adriene has magical powers to know what we need on daily basis 🥰✨ thank you Adriene 🙏🏼

[@katherinerodriguez6175]

So sorry for your loss of your Aunt! So happy to hear you were able to release some of your grief...big hugs to you!

I cheated a bit yesterday. I was moving flats and felt like it would be pushing it to try to force an squeeze in the practice into my day. So I did both day 7 & 8 today, after having deboxed all my stuff. It was nice to also synchronize with my new living space :D

[@sarojini108]

I did that too, having felt unwell yesterday. Yesterday’s earlier, then this one tonight. So relaxing!

[@hannahmitchell87]

You didn't cheat! There're no rules saying you have to complete it by the end of the month (unless you've set them for yourself) Hope you're settling into your new place. Moving can be stressful! xxx

"Come on over, come on over baby" - brought back such memories!!

[@bauxxis_art]

I LOVE that we could even hear your heart beat in this video sometimes. it has such a calming effect in addition to this snuggly practice

[@shellylamington9105]

Adriene thank you so much! I have followed your videos for a couple of years now and you have brought me so much peace and love. I actually feel your love and support reach me which sounds crazy as I’m not even practicing with you in real time. But whal you are amazing. I send the love to you too and Benji, your crew and all the people practicing. I thank you with all my heart ❤️

[@majalives]

That was so relaxing and cozy! 🥰 Got up at 6:50 (Croatia) to do it & watched the sun rise as I finished our practice 🙏🏼🌞

[@cwright8472]

I’m having to put extra effort into clearing my mind, letting go of my worries and telling myself that all that matters is this moment, and I can handle anything that comes my way. Start by being kind to yourself. The rest will follow. Also, my cat came by while I was stretched out on my back with my blanket on me, and proceeded to give me a little massage as he was kneading my body..an added bit of comfort on this Saturday morning. Namaste 🙏

[@francescacolonnello5270]

Cat yoga is so rewarding, my cat loves to participate too, such a sweet presence!

I am looking forward to everyday for Adriene's yoga and the comfort it brings with it. The sound of your heartbeat is such a beautiful sound Adriene thank you. In the UK we need this comfort so much it is such a frightening place to be at the moment Sending love & hugs to everyone here X

After I finished doing this practice I whispered to myself “I deserved this”❤️✨ it was beautiful because I didn’t plan to say that to myself, it just came out! Thank you for this, Adriene
