CURIOSITY UPLIFT MOBILITY FOCUS FLIGHT Spread your wings, darling. Tell me, why not?

[@Curt.dammit]

No reason not to comes to mind.

[@msadrakhall]

No good reason not to! Great flight today! Thank you! Hi Benji xo

[@Magdalena-pl2qr]

I spreaded my wings last year in February after my 65th birthday. I started to practice and found out, that I can do a lot more, than I thought. Every time a new move was possible, I felt like flying. I will for sure continue also after the end of this journey. Thank you Adriene!

[@Fer-De-Lance]

Thank you. My breathing was better today. My focus was also. Need to focus today and and tomorrow for a big test tomorrow. Namaste.

[@thatblondechickie]

Shout out to everyone here, people who may be arriving a few days late, people right on track, motivated peeps, or those feeling less motivated! YOU GOT THIS!! The hardest part is getting on your mat, I promise! I believe in you all and am sending you so much love and support!!

Thank you! Much needed today! Sending all of this back to you too!

[@kholoud3018]

Thank youu!! And I believe in youu too. Love ya🙏🏼💙

Well said!

[@madelyn2049]

I HIT CROW POSE GUYS!!! This has been my 1 goal for over a year, to hit crow even for 2 seconds as long as both feet got off the ground. It was so weird I literally soared into it and didn’t have to think much about it and just DID IT! And on the flight practice! I am so happy!!

[@valquehl5114]

Hurray! Congrats!

congrats!!

Yaaay!!!

[@alliecarter4965]

Good job!!!

[@LKDelahunty]

That's amazing!!! Way to go!!! ❤️

[@ronvitale]

For all the others out there like me who kept falling during this practice, feeling a Charley horse in the back of your leg, and the inability to do the yoga moves as you wanted, you’re not alone. Part of me felt frustrated and disappointed in myself. But I embraced that and surrendered as Adriene said. I need to keep reminding myself that this is my first time and it’s all new to me. I keep showing up and am glad you do as well. You’re not alone.

[@Ktrvrn]

Exactly, we all are on our own journey. No matter what you can or can't do you are investing in you!

[@lisaviertel4633]

Yes!!! I haven't done today yet but yesterday was so fast and so hard for me and I literally fell down twice. I was so frustrated and wanting to quit and then I just laughed and remembered to just do what I could with KINDNESS

[@BrittanyGuay]

Thank you for this! Today my mind was all over the place and I couldn’t focus. Todays practice was so difficult for me and I got frustrated with myself but I know I just need to come back tomorrow and try again.

[@Magdalena-pl2qr]

It's also my first time and it was difficult yesterday and today. But when I startet to practice with YWA last year, I learned to continue trying. With every practice it is becoming better and once upon a day you say "uuuuups I did it! 😉

[@ronvitale]

@@BrittanyGuay You are welcome. And that's a great attitude!

[@louisec9495]

It's amazing how intuitive Adriene is - 'well, that didn't go too well' - was exactly what I was thinking as she said it. This classes are so personal, yet you feel and appreciate the way you are doing them with a wonderful community of like minded people. I wish Adriene would do at 365 day yoga journey - I'd sign up!

[@PenguinPop1981]

Feel that. She fully called me out for having armpit smell at the beginning of this practice 😱 😂💖

[@JuztBaraa]

"Close your eyes, breathe deep here, smell your armpit. Life is good." -Adriene, 2022

[@ByMeganLee]

Oh! I thought she said "smile in your armpit" and thought- how did she know?!

[@staceymckenna9053]

I snort laughed at that; at the risk of over-sharing, I had checked before practice and decided for my own sake to put on some deodorant 😂

[@Srishti_Sharma]

Ha ha ha!! Yes I laughed when Adriene said this

[@maridau]

I love her goofiness 🤓

[@ma.merceditabrodit1267]

😝that got me to🤣🤣🤣

[@LM-wo7qy]

I mastered crow pose through this series. Took me at least 2 years to get there. I'm 67 years old! I love this series.

[@skyelar__]

Day 13! Crow pose still isn’t in the cards for me yet but being able to lift one foot off the ground without panicking sounds like progress to me. ☺️

[@TheYazmanian]

I've been practicing yoga for a few months and crow pose seems years away for me. I can do a tripod with head and hands but having the head off the ground and facing the floor is intimidating lol. We will get it someday! 💪

[@mindfullils3858]

Same!! 😂❤️

[@palmareal13]

Definitely!!!

[@kateunderwood4983]

Yes, one foot slightly lifted is the best I can do.

[@juliettegibson9845]

Indeed it is progress!! Keep up the good work! ♥️

My Crow stayed firmly in the nest, but got on the launch pad so feels like progress!

[@dbohnenberger]

I saw Crow Pose on the thumbnail and knew I was gonna be faking that part

[@paulus675]

Mine stayed in its egg

[@mctutters]

same! I've been trying to get into full crow for a couple years now. I dont let myself get frustrated though, I just know with regular practice it'll (probably) happen one day and it will be glorious! Regardless, practicing yoga is an amazing journey

[@pamelapoet9]

@@paulus675 LOL!

[@xxx12375]

@@mctutters hi! Don’t give up! It took me probably a few years but then one day it finally happened and I was able to do the pose. With regular practice you are on your way to get there ✨

[@maggiesanderson818]

Well I am 70, practiced yoga for 50 years and thought I'd lost the ability to hold Crow. But I did it and held it and I am smiling. It's the way Adrine builds it up. I am so grateful.

[@sybil3128]

Congratulations Maggie! I'm not there yet but trying; you have given me hope.

[@albertlopez2762]

OMG....Adriene is going to teach us to fly!

[@JohnnyNilsson83]

Haha! Just my thought when I read the daily message. Curiosity, uplift, focus, flight. whats the theme on day 30? touch the sky? ;)

[@litmint9790]

Excuse me while I kiss the sky 🎵

[@noellechristensen9749]

I love this so much!!

[@skylarsustin]

Dear person who is reading this, I wish you a life filled with love, joy, hope, and faith. And that’s something you can create. You have the power to feel any emotion you want right now while you read this. If you want your life to change remember that you have the power to do that by making internal shifts. Life is limitless as long as you believe it to be❤️

[@barbaraalbert5600]

Been trying to do that hand stand, Crow's pose, since I was little.. I.m 5'10"... did Crows Pose , held about 5 seconds.. with a goofy smile... Felt Awesome! Thank you Adriene

[@noellechristensen9749]

Yahoo!!! 💗

[@nuraanmajiet2926]

It's 30°C here in South Africa, did the practice after coming home from the beach. That "smell your armpit" was a full body experience 😂.

[@loublou5886]

Brrr it's slightly above freezing here in the UK and I have my fluffiest socks on haha

[@gillkedgley3115]

😂😂

[@getzgirl01]

Felt all over the place during today's practice. Tying to give myself compassion for having an off day. Looking forward to starting over again tomorrow :(

[@deprivalli]

anyone else slightly intimidated by the thumbnail? 😭😭 but at the same time it brings me great comfort - i will probably mess up, maybe far from once, and not only is it completely fine, it's also exciting and energising and inspiring. so thrilled for today's practice!

[@bearhustler]

I can't do Crow and never will be able to (medical reasons) so trying not to feel bad but I always get a bit down when Crow arrives

[@deprivalli]

@@bearhustler i'm so sorry to hear that and i hope you're taking good care of your body and modify your poses as needed. i have to be careful for medical reasons as well, so maybe we can't nail all the poses, but we still can get the most out of it 😇 today's practice was really discouraging for me, and i don't think i did well at all but that's all part of the process! :') sending love

[@bearhustler]

@@deprivalli That's very kind and right back to you too

[@deeb12]

Yes - I kind of think a few of the thumbnail are offputting. It's great to say "No fear," but if today's pose or a side plank are scary, why put that image out before I even sit on the mat!

[@lisaviertel4633]

The 1st thing out of my mouth when I saw the thumbnail before even opened the video was like oh hell no. But I'm gonna give it a whirl and have a good attitude.

[@ninap9044]

Am so delayed but I am determined to finish MOVE. Today’s practice was tough, but did it till the end 🙏🙏

[@majawas25]

i'm here too! started a few weeks later due to some personal stuff, but finally felt ready and been doing it every day since I started, I'm proud and hoping I won't break. Today was hard and I almost didn't show up but I pushed through and it wasn't even as bad as I thought it might be. good luck everyone

[@rivapopmusic]

I'm with you! We are together in this!

[@rocksunjaxindie]

Same. Today was the 1st session I was actually present and enjoying.

[@BrittEberson]

that's a mood

[@briannabyers7988]

These series has been woven together so beautifully, it’s seamless. This is my 6th year doing ywa and I have to say something in me has shifted in this months practice ..in a way that is likely invisible to everyone else but internally feels massive. It feels like I am letting everything go and fully showing up for each moment and I honestly can’t even quite describe it but it feels so damn good, I am blissfully riding this wave and I cannot thank you enough times for lovingly leading the way here.

[@noellechristensen9749]

I feel the same, like THIS is the ONE!! 💗

[@ferrous719]

I am more committed this year than in past years, as they were "just" a good way to start the year. This time I have some things I've been struggling with that yoga is the perfect vehicle to address, and I'm loving it even as I'm struggling.

[@karilinn1632]

🙌🙌🙌🙌💯

[@kathryn513]

This is my fourth (or fifth?) 30-day journey with YWA and is my favorite so far! I continue to struggle to take flight in crow pose. Just can’t seem to get my knees in the ‘right’ place. But it is the trying and failing that matter, right? So glad to be here amongst a supportive community. Thank you Adriene for creating and curating this space. Grateful. Namaste.

[@li-ming298]

I feel you by noting finding the right place...look forward to more crow pose practice to move us forward:)

[@allysonchorlton9830]

I'm the same, I seem to be getting worse rather than better!!!

[@well-8814]

It's funny, the first time I tried Crow it seemed entirely possible... but I have never been able to replicate that beginners luck 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pachelruli5320]

a tip my yoga teacher gave me was to look up and ahead at a spot at least a metre in front of me - and suddenly it clicked! I guess it makes sense as it is hard to fly looking at the ground...

[@victoriawright611]

This was a really challenging practice, but I was struck by how much I've learned in just a week of practice. Instead of getting angry with myself because I couldn't complete some of the poses, I was much more able to accept where my strength and body is at the moment. (And laugh when indeed, I fell over!) Maybe because I could anticipate that I would have some struggles? Either way, it felt good to make it to the mat today.

[@unimp0rtant]

I recently moved to a new country, started a new job and it has been hard and lonely some days. However, these videos have been extremely helpful in bringing me a little bit of perspective and joy every day, and making me feel like I'm part of something bigger. Thank you Adriene for the kind and patient way of teaching and thank you lovely people in the comments for your encouragement. We got this!

[@kirstenvzumba9246]

It sounds like a challenging new start in your life. Transitions are always difficult. Remember to take care of yourself. Life will become more comfortable and connected with time. I wish you the best! 😊

[@annewalsh7700]

Best of luck to you!!!

[@suebingham4752]

Good luck with your new journey. So great to have this daily practice to make us feel connected to a global family. Sue xx

[@ChiomaAgwuegbo]

Day thirteen!!!! I'm in love with the way my body prompted me to drop to the floor and get my practise in this morning. And I loved the stretch today. Couldn't do the crow pose, could only manage one foot off the floor at a time, but I'll keep practising. Excited for this week!

[@rm3445]

I’m taking care of my family because they sadly have COVID-19 but this journey has helped me kept focus on what’s important and even in focusing in school. I hope everyone joining this journey has found their purpose in it. And do not fear my friends, when Adrienne takes you to flight you never forget the amazing experience your body receives(I can say from past Journeys)

[@caitlynstreller4363]

I decided to go on this journey months after it finished, and every day I tell myself "I'm not going to do it today, I'm too tired," but every day I show up and do my best. Sometimes It takes me more than one day to finish a session, and sometimes I want to quit, but I keep trying. If anyone else is here and feeling the same way, I'm with you. We can do this.

[@Kimberly-hm5xj]

it is so strange cause even when i fall and am almost giving up, adriene knows what to say to keep me here and to make me understand that it is all part of a journey. i feel so happy when she remembers me that i'm not alone and i apreciate everyone who is in this journey as well. we are amazing 💙

[@dbohnenberger]

Sometimes she falls, and they do not get edited out.

[@plantlove2585]

Felt similar today. So good to see this just as life is, up and down and just staying curious with it all!

[@rondadoliveira1305]

Feeling happy just to try! I am proud! I did good.

[@darcievandegrift9924]

Big high five for trying. Absolutely what counts.

Somehow this practice brought me close to tears. It was more difficult than usual buI I felt that I‘m in good hands. Thank you for your encouraging words, Adriene! They always come at the right time.

[@kvh4621]

That was me yesterday. Amazing how simply trying to move your body can bring back all kinds of feelings of inadequacy that were started back in grade school.

[@yogawithadriene]

Thank you so much for sharing your practice with me Cara

[@dark1nikol]

I cried crocodile tears because I couldn't do most of this practice and felt so weak. Hope it gets better.

[@danielle9905]

This was me today. It literally brought me to tears but I guess that comes with frustration for not being able to do everything well today. But that's the beauty of progress. I'm sure I'll be feeling better after telling myself that I'm proud of myself for trying anyway and completing the whole session without stopping.

[@olgarudina1460]

I'm running late, but I just want you to know you are not alone! I felt just the same way. I even got agressive at some parts... I pretty much hated it most of the time :)) but I know we all want to win immediately, but some things in life require compassion, hard work, fails and vulnerability at some points. It will get better with time. xoxo

[@jasoncromwell4206]

Did anyone else say "Knees and Toes" after Adriene said "Head and Shoulders"? Or was that just me? Upper body has always been my bane in life. I can jog like Forrest Gump, but my upper body stinks. I see now it's just an area I need to work on. Plus who doesn't wanna fly (if only for a couple of seconds)? Really fulfill my Superman dreams. 8 year old me would be so proud. Another awesome class with an awesome Yogi. Until tomorrow everyone. Namaste.

[@infinitezoe]

Cheers to my friends who may be dealing with a little extra - invisible/visible disabilities (like myself), caregivers, hard workers, students, health care workers, front line workers, those struggling with mental health, those in marginalized communities, and all those with big challenges in your life. We are here, taking this one step at a time, making our way through this series slowly but steadily. Not late, just doing it at a different pace. Props to you for being here, surviving your challenges, and taking care of yourself. We are doing this thing.

Today was a meet and greet with one of my most persistent fears. Crow pose has always been a challenge. I hope we have some more of it in the comming practices. Thank you so much.

Today’s was difficult but all that matters is that you try ! I tried to do the crow pose but I’m so not there yet.. can’t put one leg up. But it’s a process. I tried, you tried, we won today’s practice ! 🥰💛

Thank you Adriene, your guidance has helped me achieve things I hadn't dreamt for myself. Also, keeping focus, when all you want to do is a happy dance, is hard! 😜

[@raquelnewby6580]

I am so glad you are so patient. This journey is helping me so much. I’m a short overweight woman and I easily discourage myself, but you help me not to feel bad about myself. Even though I struggle through some of the moves, I don’t give up. If I need to, I take a small break from a pose, regroup, and try again. Your encouragement keeps me going and I thank you for your gentleness as you guide all of us through this practice.

Day 13- Working through judgements and visions of everyone killing these poses along with Adriene while I'm still working to hold a down dog and raise my hips just a little bit more than the day before. I feel like I'm falling behind (definitely falling in actuality too, at times) and missing out but I am answering those thoughts and reminding myself I'm right where I'm supposed to be.

[@nicolekolt5304]

But you’re here! And that’s amazing! Adriene said in one of her videos that there is no purer yoga moment than when you’re falling. I can’t remember exactly what she said but it was about how when you fall, it’s a total surrender. I hope we will see you tomorrow.

[@heidiklotz3495]

As long as you're trying and breathing you're where and how you're supposed to be at this moment on the road to being somewhere else.

[@cherylmathew4071]

Day 13 was really challenging for me. I couldn't do the crow pose nor the half moon pose. I was restless , out of breath, lack of strength but i didn't give up. I continued till the end and i am definitely proud of myself. Thank you Adriene for reading my mind all the time and reminding me that it is ok to fall and that's how life is . 😍

[@debilang4011]

[@rivapopmusic]

[@allisonjoy7315]

I’m so new to this that I’m still confounded at how the emotions come rushing forth at the end of some of these practices. Yoga is healing something deep within me…a part of me that is ashamed of myself, doesn’t love me, and feels like a clumsy failure. But I am also so gripped with the love and compassion for myself that is slowly making its way to the surface. I find myself in tears, telling myself, “It’s okay. This is new. You showed up for yourself. You’re worthy. I love you.” So while I may be frustrated at how hard this can be for me at times, I’m also proud of myself and the way I’m persisting. See you tomorrow.

[@kayafilikovska992]

see you tomorrow , darling!:)

[@francesca6301]

What you said is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It brought tears to my eyes. I just started doing yoga again. The only other time I did it was 24 years ago (prenatal yoga), and I loved it back then. I'm so glad I started again, even if I'm clumsy in some of the poses and occasionally look at Adriene and think "are you kidding me with this?" 🤣♥️ When it gets tough for me, I tell myself it's ok to step out of the pose to rest for a minute. I don't need to be perfect. I just need to show up and love myself. Adriene acknowledged during the session that she knew it was a hard one, which made the fire burning in my legs feel a little better. Today was unexpectedly challenging for me, but I was so proud of myself, first for showing up, and second for making it to the end, even if my crow had a broken left wing, and I fell out of the nest. Maybe I'll take flight in crow pose someday, but if I never do, that's ok, because even the view from the nest is beautiful!

[@CrackItCsirNetLS]

I have been doing yoga with Adrienne for almost a year now. Eventho I haven't been able to hit difficult poses yet, I still feel awesome to wake up to your videos everyday. Helps me get through the day.

[@danikeir]

2 years ago I couldn't down dog to save my life ... Now I'm doing crow! For anyone just starting out... You've got this!!! Stick to Adrienne and a healthy routine and it will be live changing! Best it luck in 2022! Thanks Adriene!

[@lizf2610]

Today was so FUN! I’ve been keeping up with yoga since the January challenge this year and it’s been so rewarding to see how my strength has built. Even with falling a few times through this session I’ve come to truly enjoy the experiences that come with daily practice❤️

[@Emrek1000]

Felt like today was actually one of the toughest days yet. Tried for the first time to do it right after work, like, the first thing I'll do when I get home cause I've been struggling with little to no energy lately after work. It was so damn hard, I actually started crying a bit when we did the half splits cause I couldn't do it the way I wanted to without my body telling me that I should calm down/take a break. I pushed myself and did the whole 20 minutes even though I was angry at myself. I know that from when I started doing yoga, I've always tried too hard to do it best, instead of doing what my body tells me is comfortable enough, which is why I get so frustrated when I try to do it the way you're doing it and not being able! But thank you for these little comments in between! It really helps lift the mood and not take myself that seriously when I do it!

[@heidimarx3724]

Crows pose is the hardest pose for me. I Can't for the life of me get that pose. I guess the more I do yoga and show up daily I'll master it (dunno). Half moon and splits I'm ok, a little bit wobbly but got the hands of the ground. I like your words today Adriene "flight school"

[@Alena-nh2xy]

I'm so proud of myself for being able to do yoga 13 days in a row and although the crow pose is far from possible for me😅 I noticed that other poses that had been challenges for me before now are much easier! Thanks, Adriene ❤

[@rachelmonahan1]

was fortunate enough to get my Covid booster yesterday and I am I feeling it ….so much pain…anyways showing up today may just see me lay on my mat the whole time…but I’m here and I’m going to try!

[@jdsorganicproductions9566]

I am soooo stoked!!!!!! I am gonna crow this year! I will admit I kinda never thought I would cause my upper body is heavy but consistently practicing with you, I am stronger and I AM GONNA CROW THIS YEAR! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@kelsieslagle9177]

Day 103 for me. Crow pose is always fun. I'm not a fan of the standing splits but I'm getting better at it anyway. I didn't fall too many times either. Feels good. Hoping today will be a good day. It's sunny out right now, not sure if it's going to stay that way.

[@Fluffikens]

I have to be honest. After an indescribable amount of time and struggle, I'm back. Returning to myself and opening myself back to yoga and.. I'm almost in tears. Being given the reminder of how amazing I feel after these sessions and how.. bad I feel for allowing myself to leave yoga behind during my struggles. Nonetheless, my Mind, Body, and Spirit are so glad to be back and feel nourished. P.S. I also came to the discovery that I should restart this move journey and rebuild the muscle I had built throughout this, in order to be more prepared and less likely to strain myself.

I was delighted to see that I am wearing the same colours as Adriene today - must mean something good, right? I can no longer fly in crow because of arthritis in my wrists. But I have let that go and am loving this journey just doing what I can and taking care of myself. Grateful to be part of this loving and supportive community!

[@yogawithadriene]

Twinning with Janet!!!

[@nonigiovanni9756]

I truly don’t understand how she does it! Today was so hard for so many different reasons and there was a period where I just stood in mountain pose and deep breathed. I started to feel bad about it but sure enough, she affirmed that if today wasn’t my best day, I’ll always have tomorrow. It’s like she always knows how I’m showing up to the mat. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Bless you, Adriene.

Good morning! I was filling discourage, because I needed to take a few days off. But this morning I want to add a comment to encourage anyone that skipped a few days. It is STILL A 30 DAY Journey! I listened to my body. I have chronic pain, sometimes my body says - "no", I get to honor my body and take the break I need. Next time I will still do yoga, but switch to Adrienne's chronic pain session or the Yoga for Hips and Lower Back. Then I can come back to complete this 30 day challenge, starting right back where I left off! Have a blessed day. God bless you in this journey! Hugs

Almost broke my streak FEELING TIRED I PULLED MYSELF OUT OF BED to get it done and finished with half an hour to spare before midnight. I am disappointed I cant crow anymore as when I was a kid i used to do it and walk with my arms for fun...I am glad I learned this about myself today. *caps unintentional just tired good night ❤

[@strwbvrrymilk]

I DID IT!! MY CROW FINALLY FLEW! it was only for a few seconds - not even the length of one breath cycle - but even still i’m so proud of myself. i’ve been practicing yoga consistently for almost 9 months and i finally did it!! i wasn’t able to do half moon on the left but my success in crow overshadowed any disappointment i felt. loved the practice as usual adriene

[@carolcummins1843]

Good for you! My crow needs a lot of practice.

[@JTGG01972]

Adriene, You show us that we can do hard things. Thank you for gently challenging us and always encouraging.

[@edwardross1052]

That was AWESOME. I tried so hard to hit the poses, and I didn't make any of them, but I tried! I felt the satisfaction of an honest effort and my muscles, connective tissues, and mind are tired but happy. I am a long way away from your level of flexibility Adrienne, but I am also a long way away from where I started. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[@tashkennedy1261]

Felt the burn today! Can't wait for tomorrow!

[@suburbangoddess2004]

This was so challenging! I did not soar like an eagle, but I also did not quit. Grateful for Adriene, this practice, and this community!

[@krystalmacknight]

The Dua Lipa Song - Levitating is playing in my mind! We are flying today! Crow and Moon are a bit challenging but you have to fall to Soar! Wishing everyone the most beautiful flights today! Take off. Blast Off. So much LOVE for you. Thank you for showing up and breathing. I appreciate this community so much.

[@aryastar2464]

This was the best practice to do for my birthday! I definitely fell a few times 😅 but it’s motivating me to keep going and reminding me why it’s called a practice 😊 thank you everyone who joined! 🙏💖

[@joseruano4452]

Slowly catching up on the days I have missed but know that I am right here with all of you, we have each other and lets continue moving in this journey! Have a great day everyone! Wherever this greeting finds you.

[@HollyL56]

Almost at the two week mark! Keep up the great work. 🧘‍♀️❤️💪

[@noellechristensen9749]

Feeling strong! 💪

[@adinavmusic]

i've been doing yoga for a while now, but have never been able to "take flight" in poses like half moon & standing split (my hands/fingers always had to be on the ground or i'd immediately topple over). today i - initially reluctantly - tried to play around with my standing leg being the only thing touching the earth and...wow! i would have never expected i could do it considering i don't regularly practice these poses, but all the core and leg strengthening from regular practice pays off! thanks for an invigorating practice :)

[@samanthalexx]

I will admit I've been feeling discouraged these last few days (frozen shoulder with limited mobility, holiday weight gain, lack of motivation); but I'm here and hope to feel better after these 20 minutes with Adrienne. 🙏 S/o to the others going through similar emotional battles.

[@claireprice1623]

The important thing is that you are showing up! I had to substitute today's class with Adriene's yoga for neck and shoulders because I think I have injured myself a little from trying to do all the poses so far when I am new to yoga. But I feel so good about the whole process regardless :)

[@ma.merceditabrodit1267]

Fell a lot in this practice (half splits & half moon!!!) but the smiling and getting up again matters.

[@tamiclose]

Some challenging poses. Understanding my focus is my breath in relationship to the movement of my body. I understood it's not about "nailing" a position but nurturing and being gentle in my moment to moment relationship with me. Thank you, Adriene, this is the message I'm hearing.

[@joycedaneke893]

I like to read a few comments before I add my own. I felt not worthy most of this practice as I could not keep up. I will try 14 now but I am trying to remain hopeful I can do it. Congrats to everyone that is doing this.

[@user-wy6lm5zp3p]

I am sooooo behind - skipped a day or two here and there, and then suddenly a week. But january has been a busy month - exams and interviews and college, so just enjoying what I hae done and appreciating, even if I am a little disappointed in myself - I managed to do an earlier 30 day challenge 2 years ago consistently, and annoyed I couldn't now. But I am a much busier person with a lot more to work for.

[@kaet4031]

Same for me. Last year I already missed some day, but always made up by doing 2 videos in one day the day after. This year I just completely fell behind. But for me, too, this january has been more busy than the last ones. So well, quite possibly I'll take until the end of february to finish this. But I'll still feel good about getting to day 30 eventually. 🙂

[@CecilyaKitty]

I'm having a hard time with my relationship at the moment. Today I had a very productive conversation with my partner that made me optimistic instead of just sad and this was the perfect practice to come to. Yesterday during Focus I took it a bit easier and cried a bit while on my mat, but today I was full of energy and felt strong! I didn't manage to do the balancing postures very stably, but despite it being past my bedtime, at no point did I feel like giving up. I fell, I laughed, I tried again, a variation I could manage. Thank you for taking me and my body on this journey and taking me closer to feeling strong and energetic again. January has not made it easy for me to practice but I've become quite good at forgiving myself for missed days and just keeping going. See you tomorrow!

[@sansachiwawa3258]

❤️

[@thullyzulu9010]

I was so distracted through this practise :( I got getting the poses wrong , lifting left instead of right leg :( but tomorrow is another practise. Thank you Adriene.

[@elisabethchapman9275]

it's okay to just that one and then the other one, as long as we do both sides it's okay :)

[@cmckeon100]

Had a hard time getting to the mat today. The cover pose scared me. I did not want to break the chain. I am so glad I made it.

[@tracydigiacomo6814]

I'm running at half speed and only did day 13 today, but I have to say that this is the best 39 days of yoga experience yet! I have loved (not dreaded) every session so far!

[@thebloodandflower]

Day later club. 'Well, that went.......... well?' Yeah. That was hard and I took a few discouraged breaks. I was SO GLAD she said that... So glad to be doing this with all of you.

[@chattymaddie476]

I lifted off in some of the poses today!!! That has NEVER happened before! Happy Day 13 Everyone!

[@juliemacefield3307]

Thankyou another great class looks like Benji was worn out 🤣🐕See you tomorrow 👍 x

[@imnoemit]

This practice flew by. I just had a lot of fun and laughs trying half moon and falling, trembling to the sides. I love it and all the fun is on trying something and not doing it well, not achieving the perfect pose. Enjoying the falls, the process. Achieving something can feel wonderful yes, and enjoying something without expectation, shame when you fall is as wondeful and even more fun. I must say thanks to my feet for all the weight of rest of body that carries and body in general. Yoga helps me see my body in loving way, see how strong it is and all that it let me do, and thats best thing of world, Thank you Adriane for helping with the self love.

[@anakatros612]

Today was the first day I felt resistance from beginning my practice. I figured it would happen at some point. Grateful I showed up anyway.

[@hilltaylor18]

Thanks for sharing your strength, thats helpful to all of us when we inevitably feel the same. We WILL see you tomorrow

[@sandyholmes4151]

I joined in late and really enjoy these shorter sessions before busy days. Being shorter makes it more manageable to show up daily. Thanks for all you do. From NZ 💙

[@foodartfreedom]

I may be 4 days behind but each day is exactly what I need. Thank you for teaching me how to relax my body fully into the earth. :) XXX

[@LaniLaniDuck]

the video got over 6k more view by the time I finished this practice. today is a hard day (grief anniversary) and I'm grateful for the chance to reconnect with my body and focus my attention on movement. thanks everyone for sharing this time with me.

[@hariputter6647]

Thank you Adriene. This was yet another challenging yoga for my immobile body. Several breaks in between but I made it to the end. I ain't quitting! You'all with me ? We ain't quitters.

[@maryohara6933]

Lots of laughing at myself during this one! Thinking to myself, oh! I got this! and then boom, I'm falling in a collapsed pile of giggles. Loved it!

[@Fand89]

These are always the videos that seem to squeeze the negative, need to be gone emotions out of me. For those who laughed and felt like this practice flew by, I hope to be one of you some day. For those like me who had to stop, give yourself some love, then kept going, just know I'm sending you some love too. Those of you who shared your struggles in today's practice know that you were the ones who got me back on the mat after my flood of emotions. Thank you.

[@tiffanydyanna2036]

still working on crows posee haha my arms are so weeak !! but so happy for everyonee that was able to finally get it even if it comes fairly easy to you, or uu have been struggling for months that is an achivement

[@àlamarge]

For sure Crow is not easy but half moon neither ! I'm glad Adriene made us work with our muscles these last days because I can feel I'm getting stronger. I'm sure you too, congrats. And thank you Adriene. The panorama seems so beautiful. I wish I was Benji resting my head on the frame of the window.

[@annoubie]

Maaan those moon and crow poses were challenging! I fell many times but I did it! 20 minutes and they came by soo fast! I'm so proud of myself today, I challenged my body and my soul and I did great!! Thank you Adriene for this wonderful experience that was today's practice ❤️

[@almasoul6432]

I enjoyed this practice the most, I loved the crescent moon stretch. Still planning on doing the crow pose though :p
