Long story short: 26 years old now. Been a hardcore gym rat/wannabe bodybuilder since 2005 as a 10 year old. Everything was about intensity, anger, speed, explosiveness, energy, etc. 15 years beat me to hell. Decided this year I'd change. Be more about health. Started this January with the decision to do daily yoga. Found this channel first, not knowing anything or where to go. I can truly say implementing daily yoga has changed my body and mind for the better. I look forward to this every day. I've never treated my body with the love it needed before. This has taught me how. Thank you, Adriene. I TRULY love this channel. It's a godsend!!

[@BBJamesB]

Writing another comment since I've been doing this practice for 5 months now. When I started I had sciatica pain alternating down both legs and knee pain in my left. I walked with a limp. After 5 months of doing this just 3 times a week, I am now walking 95% pain free. Way better than any other exercise or medication could have done. I never thought I'd walk again or be able to chase after my 2 year old daughter. Thank you so much Adriene!!

Love this channel. I do a 20-30 minute spin, 20-30 minute weight training, this 45 min video and then a 15-20 minute guided meditation. This routine has without any doubt changed my life. I try to do it 5 times a week but 4 has been the average. Unbelievable results in mind and body. Amazing what a little self care and love does to your entire existence. Got me out of a deep depression.

Good morning nice girl how are you doing your very nice and beatifull good work

[@sweetMTcute]

I have been doing this yoga practice every day for almost 3 months now and here are the changes I noticed: 1. I can breathe deeper and fuller. 2. My body is becoming slimmer and fitter and dare I say more attractive (I'm not doing any exercises other than this one). I can see the most changes on my face, arms and back. 3. I became even more in love with my body. 4. My voice has more depth to it when I speak, probably thanks to the changes in my breathing. This is actually an awesome thing for a teacher like me. *5. My experience this morning: I had a stomachache due to my overeating last night. After doing the practice, I felt light in my tummy and all the uncomfortable feelings went away. Only the first 15 minutes of this practice, every day, for 3 months really transformed my body. I initially did it to relieve tension in my body after a whole day of working. Now I'm continuing it because it makes me feel good and more in love with myself. Final words: Find what feels good.

[@mz9977]

@@mz9977 that is tough love advice but it is so true. I used to think I didn’t have time for a lot of things and then I decide to replace those words with “I haven’t made this a priority” and it sucks to say that about things you find important. It definitely changed the way I managed my time and I began to “find the time” for things that mattered.

You are truly the best teacher I've found. Even better than the two in-person classes I've taken. I hope you know what a gift you are giving everyone with access to these well-thought out, empowering, comforting videos. I always have a smile at the end, even on the worst days. I came close to quitting life entirely a couple of weeks ago. While waiting for my ex to pick up our 10-year-old, i did one of your videos, (I think the 20 minute morning one) and by the end i thought that if i could still feel this great and have a smile, even for a brief moment, it was worth giving life a shot. Thank you. So much. I know I sound crazy, but you really should know that you have made such a difference for one person, with ripple effects already reaching my family, friends, and kids.

I had a hard time with my breath because I was crying, but it helped when you told me to listen to it. It was painful to go through this practice because I just wanted to get off my mat and cry, but I told myself that I was safe and okay to cry during the practice. When I say painful I mean to face my grief. I’m glad I continued though. Thank you Adriene.

I have made it mandatory for me to take time every Friday morning, about an hour after I wake up, to run through this routine. When I am done I feel almost new. A few weeks ago I had something to do that prevented me from this routine on Friday. i felt out of it all day. So first thing Saturday I ran through it and it made a significant difference on the rest of the weekend. The rest of the week I follow one of the other programs, but on Friday I have to do the deep stretch. This is a great program and I am so happy I found it. Thank you so much for putting this program on youtube.

Unfortunately for work, I travel over 40 weeks a year, the airlines are making the seats narrower, and reducing the leg room. I am tall and a little overweight, yet when people a lot more overweight, keep hitting you in the ribs, taking part of your seat or someone dropping the back of their seat into my knees, it is very hard to not be more cranky.

I hurt my lower back at work almost 2 months ago (I am an EMT and a big part of my job is lifting people) and I haven’t been the same since. About a week ago it got so bad I had to leave work because I couldn’t even bend over, let alone pick people up. I was told from a friend about yoga and how it helped her recover from a back injury. I’ve been watching your routines for about a week now, doing at least once a day and I already feel better than I have in months. I can actually bend down to tie my shoes or bend over to wash my hands and brush my teeth (I dreaded that every night because it was for sure going to bring me pain). I just wanna thank you, from a person who’s never done yoga or anything of the like before for putting out these videos and helping me. I thought my back and body was going to be ruined forever but now I have hope I’ll make a full recovery. Along with that I think I have found a new passion that will keep my body and mind healthy for the years to come. Again thank you so much Adriene!!

[@williamb7275]

I am always a bit reticent when this one appears on a calendar but manage to start and complete it. Great for practicing perseverance but gently, not with struggle. The last stretchy bit always sees me not much forward of sitting up straight. I do not know how Adriene bends so far forward not if I will ever even get close. But I found the space where I was and relaxed into it. Happy Sunday everyone. Nourish day 28. 420 days in a row.

That was a beautiful way to start my Monday morning. Thank you so much Adriene, for all the beautiful, and wonderful yoga you give us. I wasn't sure when I saw it was 45 minutes, if I could do it, but I did, and after 1 year 112 days of daily yoga. I found it easier then I expected, and quite beautiful. It was so refreshing to dive deep into stretching, and sinking up with the breath. To be solely focused on the slow gentle movements, and breath, it really helped me to let go of some stress I didn't even know I had. Thank you Adriene & Benji, from my heart to yours Namaste. 🙏 ❤ 🐕🧘‍♀️

[@AshAhmad]

44:27 I used to have lower back issues and now It’s gone. I continued the practice and now just feel better in my body (with some weight loss!). Adrienne, you’re the best! You kept me sane during the pandemic and beyond. No way I would have done this with another (boring lol) teacher. This guy is a fan for life.

[@williamb7275]

I looked at the schedule and thought, "I really do not want to do 45 minutes today." Then I read my previous comment from eight months ago. Initially reading how difficult I had found the first part did not help. But then I noticed I had found encouragement that day as the practice moved along. So I decided to just do it. And although I still look at this deceptively slow practice as one of the more difficult ones on the YWA channel, I did find my experience a bit easier. Process day 18. 287 days in a row.
