TRUE - Day 11 - SOFTEN | Yoga With Adriene

[@yogawithadriene]

On this TRUE 30 Day Journey, we have the opportunity to look at the current state of body and breath and create a practice that serves - not emulates. Happy exploring today! (It will breeze by like 5 min!) You are doing great!!! You should feel so proud! THIS IS NO SMALL FEAT! SUMMARY: You have an opportunity to really begin to create an experience that feels good for your body each time you step on the mat. I’ll be there to guide you. xx

[@igl7659]

Yoga With Adriene thank you!!

[@afragulener2745]

Thank you. Namaste ya all 🙏

[@ingerhaugland6763]

This was so sweet. Just what I needed today :') Thank you so much Adriene. These 30 days are a gem, feel all of this reaching deeper than just the thinking mind. Will definitely repeat this to further explore, heal and enjoy. Hope you know what a gift you are girl. Hugs.

[@yaseminaltay489]

I have my baby foot today thank you 🌹

[@djkanje]

This was awesome, exactly what I needed in that moment, I really softened and moved in every position to find what feels good. Thank you for your guidance, X Namaste @yogawithadriene

"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: *what* *is* *soft* *is* *strong* ." Lao Tzu

[@jodysweeney7218]

You said it so well. I'm here on 11/11/24. Peace to all.

I love this alternating between soft and energetic practices.

[@ranjanipammi8223]

Adriene, I’ve watched the movie Avatar when I was six years old. I’m almost 17 now. Ever since I’ve witnessed the scene when all the people come together to bow their heads and respect the power of unity, faith and hope, I’ve dreamed of doing the same with my people. Here. On Earth. And believe me when I say this, you have made my dream come true !!! Hundreds of people(at least) have just practiced this with me, and I feel truly grateful to have felt that connection and magic. Thank you from the bottom of heart. ❤️ Namaste ❤️

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

What a perfrct practice on a Saturday morning 🌅👌🏾🙏🏾. Rekindle Day 19:10:24✅ Tnx 💜Adrienne💜 so grateful. Lovely day to you lovelies. Namaste 💜☮️🙏🏾

[@valaya.3]

So very lovely 🥰 thank you for this Saturday practice! I feel that the comments about how I'm doing and the hard work I've been doing on the mat still applies to me, even though it's not specifically about this True 30 Day Journey, but simply about my daily practice. Even though I've missed a few days here and there, I've been committed this entire year. That is definitely an accomplishment. Thank you for helping me to see that ❣ I loved this leaning in and softening today. I love me ❤

[@Juju_Sage]

My back and I are so grateful for this session 😂❤

[@cathanne2216]

"To not create more hardship if you don't need it." Thank you for these words today Adriene. Tears at the end of this one

[@VladGhica]

I feel like a fairy. A truly manly fairy. I feel amazing ! It literally helps me let go of what is not serving me. Thank you Adriene ! Lots of love and keep on doing the good work !

[@yogawithadriene]

YESSS!

[@CeciliaKautzman]

REKINDLE ❤‍🔥 | October 19, 2024 | This was my first time for this practice and it is an instant favourite! The hip releases and side body stretches were just what I needed. It's like the perfect mixtape! 🙏

[@talonthehand]

I've decided this is going to be a (relatively) lazy day, so this was timed perfectly. Day 599 of the current run.

[@RobertaA7]

I didn't quite realise until now, but I needed this reminder to stop pushing and go easy...Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[@seanobrien8764]

I really couldn't not engage more than going through the motions this round. My mind was everywhere else. I think I will find more time for myself today, and create an opportunity to give this another go. Darn complicated lives and such. Thank you again. I can't believe I have been able to come this far. I went from spending 8 hours a day on the couch, to day 11 and being so much more active in my life! Thank you Adrienne and much love to everyone out there.

[@yogawithadriene]

Ah, beautiful. Thank you for sharing Sean. This is the good stuff!

[@begonaf1474]

You have such a soft voice that it's a joy to do this practice with you. Thank you, sweet Adriene, for another yummy session. I'm ready to start the day with a peaceful mind. Sending everyone lots of autumnal good wishes. 😊

[@xmartamarques]

On the day before a hard college exam I am so ready for a practice that is meant to soften. I want to be kind on myself specially today. Thank you Adriene! Enjoy your day fellow yogis around the world!

Rekindle Day 19. Namaste 🙏🏽 ❤💚💛🙏🏽

[@ZeTerribleT]

I'm not doing True everyday-- And that's okay. i'm finding what feels good. And i'm doing two days every time i practice, So today i did Days 10 and 11. I don't know how, but every video is EXACTLY what i need and what my body needs that day. I've never enjoyed working out and enjoying my body like this, so i can't thank you enough. You're amazing!

[@fluffyross2297]

I loved todays yoga! I loved how child's pose made my hips feel relaxed, and at ease. That was a much needed stretch after a very lazy Saturday. 😊 I really needed a gentle practice today, as I've been struggling recently, with my Fibromyalgia flaring up a lot, with the change in weather. Thank you so much Adriene, you always know what I need. ❤ see you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏 💜

[@EJK26]

Thank you Adriene!

[@shubhamyadav336]

Thankyou Adrienne 😊❤️ I love these soft sessions. They feel so restful & give me comfort that there is no need to unnecessary hardships.

[@shubhamyadav336]

Thankyou Adrienne. I love this soft, warm feeling 💗. Thanks for teaching this love❤

[@camillebrooks3527]

This is so great. Soften sound and feel awesome. So relaxed and replenishing. Thanks very much Adriene. Blessings 🙌. Namaste ❤️ 🙏

Day 19 complete I really liked doing this practice today. I'm glad it was chosen. 10/19/2024

[@grimslepers]

oh the changes I've seen off the mat these last few months. I suddenly love to be moving when i'm sedentary for too long, taking time to gently stretch and move my body during classes or when i've been working too long at coffee shops. I'll never be able to express enough gratitude for how your guidance has allowed me to find what feels good, adriene. lots of love from the pacific northwest

[@dreamhacker606]

I was feeling so frayed and burnt out yesterday which was kinda following into this morning. Some sleep and a good breakfast helped but this video really felt like it smoothed out those edges 🩷 Thank you

[@bookdesignandhorses]

Absolutely beautiful thank you❤

[@caitie_pagonis]

this is one of the most yummy zen practices, awesome for slowing down and stretching out dynamically

[@chboskyy]

Okay for sure this has been my favourite more restorative practice so far. I can see myself doing this regularly whenever I felt a little tense! ♥

[@smearshit]

I thought the same thing. I'll definitely return to this practice! 11=heaven

[@EsteraLovrec]

me too

[@rogerclem8368]

Been lucky enough to be doing yoga in person for months- but, life gave me a brand new baby to help raise , so got back into YWA on True & have been rapping with the KULA warriors. Very nice to stretch my hips. What a treasure these videos.

[@cathylemley367]

It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since we did the True journey wuth Adriene and Sweet Benji I surrender to that which I cannot control 🙏🏼 October 2024 day 19 Peace on Earth is my dream that can happen some day if we can only live together

[@cherylyeo25]

REKINDLE by staying True (this got to be my fav for this series / month and its new video for me :) ) to soften to allow to let breath flow to be thank you adriiene / benji / ywa team + community namaste to all practising and may all find peace w softening

Starting to feel better each day, Yoga Heaven is good for the soul.

[@yogawithadriene]

Hardest part is showing UP!

[@Backto5oh5]

This has been my favourite practice on the journey so far! I needed to learn to stop pushing and begin to soften 😊

[@laurencraig345]

Anxiety is pretty bad today so I think I needed this practice just to be kind to myself and slow down. I found it hard to settle the mind but I'm sure my body appreciates the stretch :)

[@claudiaalmeida3655]

Good luck!

[@earth_mamawolski8205]

Just what my body needed today! 💜

[@earth_mamawolski8205]

Woops just realised I skipped day 10 🤦🏻😂 I'll do it tomorrow. My body must've known it needed this today though!

[@tamsycam]

@@earth_mamawolski8205 hahaha I was wondering where you went to, it must have! This was such a nice practice. I don't know if my movement was necessarily soft (because I felt a bit clunky getting into some of the poses like pigeon), but I definitely explored different areas in the poses to normal. See you tomorrow for day 12!

[@tamsycam]

@@earth_mamawolski8205 (also enjoy day 10 today, I really liked it!!)

[@nonorcita]

"Stop fighting"... A mind blowing for me! I just noticed my usual paths towards fighting... without choosing them

[@bran3eyedraven840]

it is so strange (in a good way) how you adriene seem to be in sync with those of us who depend on you for our practice.... y ou are always on point and in sync with us ... I woke up with a huge ache in my lower right hip area and you worked it out ... thank you so much for being amazing

[@takethadillard4446]

I jumped into True just after completing Adriene's 2015 30 day challenge. So today is 40 days (since I'll do #11 tomorrow) and I'm 40! I feel great. My body and mind has transformed more than ever, I pray I never stop! Namaste:)

[@MsTaoist]

Right there with you sis! I'm 50 and (no exaggeration) my spine has *never* been as supple and flexible as it is after doing YWA since September. Rock on! We''ll motivate each other to keep it going strong! :-)

[@merrymorgancowan8053]

taketha dillard great job!!! Im planning on doing a other 30 dat challenge after this one. Ive never felt better! I can actually see physiccal results, my love handles are just shrinking by the day and i feel mentally capable to handle work, life, kids, housework et al balance.

[@emmadey1]

Hey I did exactly the same...so Im on 40 days too. I turned 40 in march.

[@smearshit]

Me too, just finished. That makes 41, I'm sixty-one.

[@peacensimplicity1811]

This was very helpful ❤thank you!

[@RaphaellaSalles]

I was asking myself: how am i going to put feet over my knee and be flat? and you answered right away on the video. I'm a perfectionist and i charge myself to be in the right position, but my body has limitations and i'm learning that there's no right or wrong. And i'm taking this to my professional and personal life too. Thank you.

[@dawnc5797]

When I came to do this today I was wanting something harder and more invigorating because the last few days have been tough and I wanted to work my feelings/emotions/aggravations out on the mat. Instead I get to soften. I almost did "detox" again but decided to just go with this theme and I'm glad I did because it's exactly what I needed. Thanks, Adriene for all you do to put these video series out. I know this is an old one but I've started and stopped it so many times but I'm determined to finish it. This is day 11 in the series but I'm on day 20 of actually doing them because life does get in the way. But I'm still here! 💕

[@olivia5472]

Today's practice was much needed! My cat forced me to be extra soft and slow while cradling my footbaby because she was insistent on following my foot and licking all of my toes, haha. And, I have to thank you. These 11 days have improved my posture, my confidence, and my strength (spiritually and physically). I had no idea my life would shift so drastically and positively in just a little over a week. I feel wonderful, loving, happy and at peace. Thank you. Namaste.

[@AshGunning109]

How do you always know JUST what I need???? Much appreciation.

[@sandragiusti5252]

Loved Day 12 and how thoughtful this whole series has been so far. I am very grateful to be here and part of this community. Have a wonderful weekend everyone

[@ronniesal7436]

I saw the word soften and I said, yeah, I definitely need that, but the cherry on the top was: "Stop pushing and forcing and learn to soften" those are the words I needed today, and hearing them let me confirm I chose the right practice. The cream and chocolate prinkles over the ice cream were Adriene mentioning all the people practicing and stopping the fight at the time bowing and surrendering in child's pose. Not to mention that she could read our minds when she complements her coments with things like: "I am not saying, this should be easy for you, dude! I am just telling you to bring the ease to the pose". Lots of love Adriene and community! May all Gods and Goddess bless you! 🙏♥️🌷

[@MissSunshineOo]

It's amazing to see that, when you start the video there are only 66 hits and when you finish and refresh the page there are over 600 more! Namaste everyone. We're truly doing this together.

I'm loving this series! Thank you, Adriene! 💕

[@reddwarfhead]

awesome practice! i absolutely love these.

[@janetschafnitt4598]

Loved this softening practice today! I started this journey with the 31 days of yoga last year when I had just turned 60, still loving this journey after just turning 61! I think I only missed maybe a total of 12 days last year. Thank you, Adriene, for changing my life! Namaste to you, and sweet Benji!

[@krissi87]

I love the encouragement to move in different ways- this is the reason I keep coming back to your videos! I'm a little behind on this series but I am really enjoying it thus far! Thank you for posting so much amazing free content.

[@walkureunruh6451]

I had a fight with my dad a few days ago and tonight we want to talk about it again and you reminded me to be soft and kind and show appreciation and love. Thank you, Adrienne. I've been with you since day one and I'm loving it so far! 💖

Helping me stay in my body - helping me realize that my soul is here to serve my body. Radical self care ❤

Oh. My. Goodness. I’m loving all the practices so far but this one is special and is exactly what I needed! It feeeeeeels just right and good! Thank you Adriene! Namaste to y’all!

[@jennymanker6478]

Woke up today and instead of dread my day, I thought "today is a blank start, who knows what good will come?" And after a double shift at work, I came home and fit in this yummy practice at midnight and could feel true self acceptance and love grow inside me for the first time in my life. These 30 days are becoming a real game changer!

[@hunterbonin6242]

DAY 11- SOFTEN. Exactly so, for this practice I set no expectations and it enabled me to focus on the moment and how my body feels. I strived not to strive, as I quote from one of my favorite movies, the result was a softening feel throughout.

[@Boogaboom5]

I did the same as I know I struggle with just that. Softening, slowing down you know. Beautiful practice. Thanks Adriene, and Benji for stopping by. =)

[@lucienebr]

The things happen as they might happen. Just right in the moment I pressed "play" in the video, one of my cats laid down on my mat. Usually I get a little bit pissed off with something that disturbs my practice... Them I started to laugh and continued doing the asanas with the cat there. It was so amusing whe he started to play with my feet and gave me little bites of love. Today's lesson is one very important to me: learn to soften. Be lighter in life!

[@ezodragon]

[@kristinst797]

It took me a while to learn how to soften. Yoga never was physically hard for me but when I first started I felt uncomfortable. Now I feel sooo relaxed in downdog and chilled in crow pose. For the first time I started I wasn’t feeling yoga so deep in my heart. I knew it was also a mental exercise but It never touched my feelings. Now I’m happy to say yoga is dance of my soul. It give me relaxation (I usually do yoga in the evening to relax) and also emotional rinse. I’m so in love with it!!! There wasn’t any day without yoga since I started this journey in October 2016

[@SustainablyKindLiving]

11 days practicing yoga has never been more beautiful. Thank you so much for creating this Adriene!

Beautiful and so perfect for me today. I fell and landed on my coccyx this morning, increasing my existing chronic back pain. My first thought was 'damn, my yoga!'. I approached the mat with caution. Not only did I manage this session but feel better for it 💃🏻. Adriene, your classes have, without a shadow of a doubt, strengthened my back and eased my pain - I am so grateful 😘😘

[@griffcat3712]

This practice was very special to me. Growing up my dad called me tender heart. Over the past few months I've been working on cultivating that same level of love and compassion I always carried with me as a child, that we sometimes lose on the path to adulthood. This was a wonderful reminder to open, soften and take stock in where I am progressing and where I am stuck. 🙏

[@TheOriginalOrkdoop]

Wow! I'm behind 2 days, but somehow the style of yoga each time I tune in is synching up with exactly what I need. Like, today I was going to do a different gentle quick yoga video, until I realised THIS is a quick gentle yoga video. And it's the next one I have to do anyway! The universe must be taking care of me.

[@simoneviebke5424]

[@heatherhannan5292]

So cool, thank you Adriene for all that you do! 5.5 months of yogiing with you most every day for 20-30 minutes and so many people commenting on my weight loss and how good I look. The pace of your 30 day programs really works for me and I can substitute one of your focussed area videos if I feel I need to address something specific one morning. Namaste

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ How refreshing and lovely! I always get teary eyed at the end when you say, "Namaste". I'd call them happy tears though :)

[@tarns17]

I've been finding myself getting a little teary the last 3 days, towards the end, too...and not because the session is ending and I'm sad lol - I feel its releasing emotions that I didn't even know were built-up inside :)

[@boiifyoudont8915]

Thank you Adrienne for teaching us to be kind to our bodies as we usually tend to drain ourselves , these moments of peace are more than welcome ! And thank you Benji for always bringing a smile to my face :)

[@lucyparsons5057]

I've been working hard to soften and go with the flow this whole week - I hold a lot of tension in my neck which causes migraines. This practice summarised what I have achieved and learned about my body. Thank you.

Only been 2 months doing yoga and I look forward to Adriene daily. I am 56 and learn daily from this. Sooooo nice just to stretch. I think I am hooked. For Adriene you need to know you give more to us followers than you know. Knowledge, some laughs, and healthy information. I thank you.
