[@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'm a server and stand up to 8 hours daily. Even though I'm young and strong, standing for many hours puts my legs in deep pain. Today I wanted to release some tension; this practice was like a warm hug for my soul. Also with Adriene's sense of humor, I smiled many times during the practice. Thanks for shining your light with us Adriene. I love you!

[@shadanzahrooni8416]

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.

[@valaya.3]

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 ♥

[@leanngleason588]

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

ARE YOU READING MY MIND? I've been having a lot of trouble with my lower back this last week, I check my subscription box today, and here you are with a low back video.😂 Thank you so much ❤️

[@Annie-le1vv]

Nevena Martinovic ....the universal connection, you put your needs and positive energy and thoughts out there and good comes back; as is needed 🙏

[@michstratford]

Of course Adriene read your mind. And mine. It happens so often I just don't ask the question anymore. I just subconciously send my thoughts to Texas (or wherever she may be) and here we are! 🙄. Thank you Adriene - and the love letter yesterday was immensely lovely too ❤

66 yrs old man with some lower back pain. My niece said that I should do some yoga. Found this video and I was able to do most of it. I'm going to try to do it again tomorrow.

Laughing while doing yoga was an experience I’d never encountered. Such a pleasure to practice with you.

Day 12 of Salute 🍁 I am playing catch up as I was away for a few days and did not have internet nor did I download these video before my trip! 😂 I have missed these daily practices and now, I am playing catch up! ❤

*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!

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.

[@SGpotatokat]

Oh my gosh, my heart melted when she said she's our buddy. Adriene, I hope you feel the love, because you are always so caring and kind with all of us in the FWFG community. We love you!

[@moiraglover-trus3003]

Thank goodness for Adriene! Strained my back a few weeks ago...this video is the absolutely best thing I could be doing to get better. Thanks so much for posting this. I wish I hadn't done what I did..but so happy you are here to help!

[@skateadicts]

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 ❤️

[@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

[@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 😌

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!

[@joannawilkinson1436]

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

[@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!

[@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

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!

[@seanbreedlove8178]

I was in a car accident a few years ago, completely split my l3 vertebrae in half. Yoga with you is one of the few natural things that is able to manage my pain, and the affirmations are humbling to say the least. Thank you so much Adriene.

[@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

[@kelli5339]

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

[@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.

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

It's so weird how everytime I do yoga with Adriene it's exactly what my body needs. I swear she is in the room with me because she also calls me out everytime I forget to breath. How is this possible!? Lol.

Yes! And she knows just when my forehead is tight, or my ears are high. Perfect!

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 💙

[@akmcdm]

Did this practice a day early on the February calendar for scheduling. Really enjoyed this practice. Hamstrings have been so sore lately!!

[@amytai4872]

Thank you Adriene and everyone else out there practicing breathing in love and breathing out love for yourself, your bodies and the world around us. We can transform this sometimes broken sometime heartbreaking but always magnificent and precious world by transforming ourselves. Adriene, you are doing so much for this transformation. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have been practicing yoga for about 15 years, sometimes alone & sometimes in a class. It’s all good. I tell people yoga saved my life, and it’s true. It makes me feel so good. Yoga + 7 years now sober + regular meditation has done wonders. I even introduced my mom (91) to yoga & she’s killin’ it twice a week! Thank you, Adriene for your videos, they’re great. 😎
