I‘m so glad this journey exists. I‘m so glad I‘m here. And I‘m so glad we‘re all doing this together. Is anyone also thinking about continuing with the monthly playlists in February?

[@tamaraflury]

I am! I realised that this is the best thing I can do for myself and as Adriene always says "the hardest thing is to show up and get on the mat"... Having a journey like this or a dedicated playlist makes it much easier to show up! Are you planning to continue? Let's do it!

[@katerinapospisilova751]

Doing it together is hugely motivating for me, I am also thinking about continuing with a play list in Feb and beyond

We're almost half way through this year's 30 day journey and this is the first time that I haven't found it difficult to get to the mat. This might just be the year my 30 day journey grows by another 335.

[@JeanineFollette]

I'm hoping for the same. But I'm nervous I can't keep my promise to myself past 30 days. Maybe ill just try another 30 days after this one

[@discosue]

@@JeanineFollette I'm also thinking of doing a past 30 day January challenge from another year afterwards

[@Andreas-kt9fr]

I'm glad to hear that there are more people with the same intention! 🧡 I am just insecure HOW to continue and keep progressing. Because starting another 30 day challenge would mean "starting again" and not continuing where I am. Any ideas?

[@amyb.9703]

This practice got me thinking about the difference between "I want to move closer to this" and "I want to achieve this." There is such an emphasis on achievement in our society these days, such that many things are considered meaningless if they don't have an end goal. But I like the idea of simply...moving closer to something. Focusing on the step I can take right now. I may never reach complete health, or complete happiness, or complete serenity. But the practice of moving closer to those things has its own worth. And showing up for myself and the people around me in each individual moment has a greater impact than some far-off, unattainable goal. Just some thoughts. Thank you for prompting this contemplation! I always think I've started these 30 day journeys simply for my physical health and always seem to forget how much mental work is involved too. :)

[@servena9831]

Thank you, this really resonated with me.

[@Cloboclobo]

Thank you for articulating how that question made me feel. I answered it very similarly to ‘what I want to achieve’ but without feelings of dread to start such a big goal. Instead, I felt peace because all I need to do is meet myself where I am.

[@sastati]

Preach!

[@cecilia6703]

Jeeeez, Amy. Though I was late starting this challenge, it would seem that I began at exactly the correct moment because *your* words & perspective were precisely what I needed to read at this moment after a day of being totally, helplessly overwhelmed by all that I need & want to do & to achieve. Thank you!

[@tino.makota7130]

something about this comment brings me peace. Thank you. I had never considered this before... coming closer does make it easier to enjoy... you aren't highlighting how much of the journey there is still left to go before you arrive at the goal. You can just be curious about, and grateful for wherever it is that you are. Grateful for showing up.

[@callmeanna999]

My yoga journey started 4 years ago with Adriene’s challenge, and I never stopped since. I still come back to practise with Adriene when I feel overwhelmed with yoga, as her empathy is a treasure. I am following the 30 days journey again this year and it feels so good to share it with this community. My sincere thanks Adriene and a warm appreciation to everyone showing up 🙏🏼❤️

There was a huge family tragedy today and I gave myself permission to miss this one. But as they day wound down I craved this little part of my routine. I may have waited until 10pm to do it, but I continued this journey today and I'm proud of myself for it. I'm proud of all of you who are here too. We're doing great.

For the first time ever, I'm starting to see my body for all its potential, it strength and resilience and the amazing things it can do, instead of focusing on its shortcomings and things I would change. Thank you, Adriene ❤️

[@ellenp.4873]

That is so well put, Lydia. I'm going to jot it down for self reference/affirmation!! I found myself reading the phrase "enjoy yourself" in today's "letter" from Adriene as enjoy your SELF, emphasis on enjoyment of my own being, for the first time - rather than that phrase referring to some external pleasure. It was a startling and delightful moment!

[@Bear53533]

[@doctormartian6222]

Wonderful! It's all about what the body can do and not what it looks like. So, enjoy finding out what it can do and what you are capable of.

[@rominachaves6167]

“What do you wanna move closer to?” The first thing that came to my mind was ACCEPTANCE. A really good way to show how yoga shifts our minds into love and care for ourselves instead of negativity. I’m pretty sure my mind would’ve gone into something like ‘fitness’ before. Thank you Adriene for always reminding us to be kind to ourselves and others 💕 So excited to start the second part of this journey. Happy weekend everyone 🥳

[@ronvitale]

As I went through this yoga practice, I checked in with my body. What ached, what felt good, and where I felt centered. What I’m liking about this 30 day practice is that it’s helping me move closer to how I feel: not just my body but my mind. I feel so unsettled for all that We’re living through in the pandemic-things that I didn’t even know I missed and grieved. It’s all a big jumble inside and I am using these yoga practices as the tool to come closer to letting go and sure during. Today, at the end of this practice, I felt so at peace when breathing and just allowing myself to be. Thank you, Adriene for all you do! I appreciate you.

[@LF-qu4lw]

I really relate to your comments (as I did the other day too)! That peaceful feeling at the end of today's session was so sweet! I felt it too x

[@lisamenchaca9526]

I also felt the peace at the end of this practice and relate to your other comments too! You described perfectly how I have felt during this 30 day journey as well.

[@bryandonahue8302]

Just a friendly reminder to those of us, like me, that are struggling with getting to the mat every day. It is still very much worth getting back to even if you miss a day or two!

[@katelillo1932]

I second this! I like to practice every day but there are days I come home from work with a migraine and simply can’t. But I come back the next day and it still feels just as wonderful. Missing consecutive days isn’t worth giving up the beautiful gifts that yoga has to offer 🙏

[@andreina3251]

I want to move closer to healing - I got to the mat teary-eyed today, then cried throughout almost the whole practice. I’ve been going through a lot mentally for some time now and some days I wonder if I can really keep going, but I’m so grateful for how much yoga has helped me find balance and calm on dark days and for Adriene’s gentle and empathetic guidance. Couldn’t say “I am strong” today, but I know I am. We all are. And I’m so proud that I showed up for myself. Let’s keep going everyone.

[@TheSoulsomeLife]

I’m in a similar boat. I’m not doing that great mentally either and I got teary eyed when I said I’m strong. I cried earlier today too. Yoga is also a big help right now even if it doesn’t necessarily fix everything. I hope and pray that we both heal really soon❤️

[@meganconway6178]

I was already late to the party, but I wasn't too concerned about when I was showing up. Then I just... fell off. I'd gotten into a great routine of waking early (I'm a morning person at heart), doing practice, then cycling for a bit to get myself into a great headspace for the day. And then I stopped. I haven't done yoga in about 6 days. I won't lie, it was the Flight video that almost pushed me to not come back. I would lie in bed at 5am thinking "no, I don't want to today". And I recognised that there was nothing wrong physically, it was just my mind rebelling against what is good for me, sinking back in to those habits of staying in bed where it's safe and warm even though it leaves me groggy and cranky. So today, when I woke up naturally at 5:30 instead of being startled by an alarm, I asked myself "why don't you want to do yoga?" And I realised that anxiety masquerades as many different things. I was anxious about being able to do it. So I didn't fight myself, I just skipped that practice. The old me would be furious with myself - "you can't just skip something that you're scared of!". Sure, but you also don't have to force yourself to do something just for completions sake. I struggled today, my wrists and shoulders are aching even though I tried to engage my hands more like Adrienne suggested. But I'm definitely getting stronger! I managed to go down from plank to my belly without collapsing down, and also managed to push myself up again without caving my low back. Adrienne, your greeting of being glad to see me return even though it's hard was so perfectly timed. You just know what's going on. Thank you for being my guiding light and part of the best routine I've ever had. I'm so pleased to be on this journey and you are teaching me that patience outweighs perfectionism every time.

[@hilltaylor18]

Man, I've been hurting emotionally, and yesterday I asked for support in the comments. Woke up today to some lovely messages that, if nothing else, reminded me that I am never alone. I am supported by many many beautiful people. Some that I know, many that are strangers to me. Nothing changes overnight, but a little bit of support and faith goes a long long way for me. So when asked what I wanted to move towards, I reminded myself that receiving that love was the result of leaning into adversity, continuing to see a better life, and ASKING for help. So I want to continue to move towards that. The version of me that is open to recieve that goodness. Thanks all. Namaste and see you tomorrow.

[@afterlyfesun5373]

! I can understand how a pose doesn’t have to be hard. You can let the pose become you instead of struggling to produce the form. There is another body beneath this one. A calm strong and fully alert body. A perfect being almost. This practice helped me look into his face. Thanks Adrian.

I have to say, Adriene... your 30 day yoga journey Home has made a positive impact on my life, and even to this day I still incorporate those teachings to every single one of our sessions together. When you ask us what we want to move closer to... it's home. It's always HOME. The coziest, warmest, safest place in this conscious existence.

[@adamlingenfelter1841]

My first reaction when the video started is where is Benji? My second, was why is Benji in the corner? Oh there you go he is back in his proper spot. HAHA BENJI!!! MESSING WITH ME THIS MORNING!! Man Benji was active today. I love it. My arms are burning today. Savasana was so need and enjoyed today at the end.

[@clairer7039]

I just wanted to leave a comment here for anyone who is only just coming to the Move journey, as I am. I've always struggled with sticking with my yoga practice in a consistent way, but after going through the most insane couple of years of my life I'm finally working on encouraging myself to keep showing up and doing the hard work. I did day one of Move on 8th June, my longest continuous streak is 5 days. My first holiday abroad at the beginning of July really derailed me! But I've come back and I'm going to keep coming back until I've done all 30 days. I'm moving closer to finding the inner strength and commitment to show up for my practice even when it feels really hard to do so. So for anyone else who is haphazardly making your way through this journey, you are not alone 💛

[@loublou5886]

I'm so sorry 😞 😢 I lost my first daughter about 30 years ago now and when my 2nd daughter had my grandaughter 10 years ago we had a scare. It cemented for me that it was harder to watch someone you love lose their child and be powerless to help them than it was to be the one losing the child. So remember to be kind to yourself as well. The loss of a child is always devastating 💔

The resultant fatigue and nausea prevent me from indulging in my previously strenuous forms of exercise - martial arts, running, and calisthenics. Most of my exercise these days is in the form of walking and yoga. I just did Day 14 of MOVE this morning. Some days, I am too weak or nauseous to partake, but I have set the goal of completing the 30-day experience. It’ll just take a bit longer than 30 days.

I am very late in doing this, but I keep coming back to the challenge even if I miss a couple of days. Today when Adriene said “we’re learning to fly but we also have to learn to fall, that’s part of the deal” that made me so emotional. If only we’re taught that as children or as we’re growing up!

closer to that gift. I did Day 14 at the Y, so that means there were mirrors. Wow, I could look at myself. It was like adding another dimension of connecting with myself. I didn’t just feel my energy, I saw my energy. I definitely felt CLOSER to, me. Also, I was just thinking about “Holy Palmers Kiss” earlier today, and then you said it in practice. I think when we get closer to ourself, our truest self, we also get closer to one another. “We’re getting closer and closer to the good stuff...the true stuff.”

Even took a child's pose while the video was catching up with me. Doing it live means I have to surrender the control I usually have and resist them temptation to pause the video. Definitely a good practice for patience, kindness, and sticking to my own pace and happiness!

I skipped Saturday's practice; I was not in a good headspace and nothing was getting me to the mat. I did this one today and I think I needed to hear these words today specifically. Work has been draining and I decided to take today off to care for myself. I am glad that I did and now I am on to today's practice!

I got this far and then had quite a severe medical mishap and have spent the last 2 and a half weeks recovering. So here I am, on the eve of February, laying out my mat ready for the morning to restart my journey to Move with this video. Picking up January where I left off at the start of February ❤️

I am way behind but still making my way through the days. I am super grateful for this progression of classes. I am trying to move closer to myself.

[@allisongormleyhernandez8539]

As an English teacher and Shakespeare lover, when she said, "palm to palm" I automatically thought "is holy palmer's kiss" but then Adrienne actually quoted it and I just felt very seen. Really enjoying this practice as a way to get back in my body when work is very stressful. Thank you!

[@MelodyRed1]

'Even if you were thinking about what you were going to have for lunch - all good'. It's this sort of total acceptance and understanding that keeps me coming back each day. (I wasn't thinking about lunch; I was listing what I wanted to get closer to). :-)

I have a cat named Merv who likes to do Yoga with me. He positioned himself under my hands during arm circles, so he could be pet. He does the Down Cat while I do Down Dog. As soon as I layed down he climbed onto my belly so I'd move him as I took big breaths. I laughed so hard and it was wonderful!

I may be a little behind, but I'm still showing up!

[@melissaf5262]

About 4000 people practiced at the same time as me today! I was also overwhelmed and comforted by the thought that I was at my apartment alone and yet also together with so many others doing the same thing at the same time during this practice! Wow, if all of us were doing things to move in a better direction??? That's so wonderful!! Thank you for being there with me today while giving me space to move towards important things!

[@crissyphillips3291]

Thank you Adriene. Wonderful practice today right on time.

[@megankeiser2307]

Today I clicked on the video as dusk falls. There is snow coming here in NC mountains. I need this moment of stillness and being with self (and yet also with Adriene and all of you). The nervous system needs to rest. Thank you for weaving in talk of the brain and nervous system into this series. Thank you. Also love Adriene's sudden clap in the middle of final moments and saying firmly- we are half way there - don't NOT show up tomorrow Thank you for your heartfelt glee and devotion. Thank you.

[@serenaharavoncollins]

Feeling calmer, more connected to myself, and so grateful to be on this journey with all of you! I'm moving closer to calm & relaxation both mentally and physically.

[@Sun.powder]

Meeting myself exactly where I am ,this is my new affirmation.

[@iDagggi]

I am feeling very grateful right now. I have big issues connecting to and engaging my core, but these practices really, truly help. I am already feeling a lot stronger and flexible, compared to day 1. Thank you so much Adriene!!!

[@Artspeaketh]

I’d be a fool to not show up tomorrow or any other day. I have too much to lose NOT showing up! You are my January Resolution!

[@margaretek5350]

Loved day 14 and getting closer to my soul and inner child! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛🤗🤗🤗

[@djpatzer]

Was about two seconds away from falling asleep during that shavasana! Very calming practice, loved it

[@stephaniephan1169]

Thank you for this treasure of a practice today, Adriene and Benji. So calming and joyful. I want to move closer to my breath/spirit and to what unfolds in the present. Looking forward to the second half of our 30 day journey. Namaste.

[@lynneeitel5666]

I came to the mat early on Day 12, knowing I would have cataract surgery later that day & that my practices for the next week or so would have to be modified. Thank goodness that Adriene has given us the knowledge and freedom to do so! Couldn't take flight in crow on Day 13, but managed to find flight with the eagle that was so wobbly the other day. There is simply such sweet satisfaction in practicing everyday and in being a part of this unique, inclusive community. We are strong!

[@margoelena]

I’ve never made it this far thru the 30 days before- very proud of myself! I feel like I’m moving closer to living the healthy and fulfilling life that I envision for myself 💖

[@andrewandmarie-lyseeliatam2262]

In a world where we are all striving to do great things and have very high expectations, I want to move closer to accepting that I am enough; I am worthy.

[@chocolatecurls94]

What a perfect practice for today! Yesterday evening I got my booster vaccine, which made my body sore and achy today. This practice really allowed me to listen to and appreciate my body, modifying the movements when needed. Thank you so much, sending lots of love from the Netherlands

[@vm3016]

As a yoga student of a certain age for 10 years, your gentle way of showing us the path to self awareness and encouraging us to be where we are today, really speaks to me. Thank you to you and Benji.

[@tianaramos9200]

This is my first time doing the 30 day yoga journey during January with everyone and let me tell you there is such a difference. I feel the connection and the community. It’s amazing to truly know there are people taking this journey with you at the same time. So much love to you all! I am so happy to have this beautiful opportunity at my fingertips!

I have been practicing yoga for over 10 yrs but being here in this 30- day move time with Adrienne has been a magical way of connecting with my body and mind with kindness and I feel grateful to her and to aĺl of you for sharing this energy . See you on the mat.

[@janetlambert2653]

Thank you from Australia, You are awesome Adriene, I loved doing Day 14, Closer/ Yoga Move. Since this is my first time ever doing a 30 day journey I am enjoying the variety of poses and shapes. Froggy pose is a wonderful inner thigh and lower back stretch for me. I am feeling strong. Janet xx

[@angellestone9160]

My body thanks you Adrian. This practice felt much easier than the last 2. Haaaaaa I was ready for it. Practicing away from home without a mat has proved more challenging than I anticipated. Next time my mat will be the first thing I pack. Because the commitment was made it was not a question about continuing just a challenge. May all of you who are facing challenges stick to the commitment and reap the thr rewards.

[@dyttocourtney2964]

Yoga really stirs my soul! Yeah, exactly, it's my time, my body, my breath, my story, my brain, my reality that I create for myself, so I make it about me...thank you wholeheartedly for your generous reminders, Adriene! I learn a lot from you, and I'm deeply grateful to you! What would I do without you, and your awesome channel! Today's practice was amazingly enjoyable! Thank you so much, Adriene & Benji, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow! Namaste! 💜🙏🏼💜

Closer to my grandaughter and grandpup today after them being quarantined for the last 2 weeks while my daughter had covid. I usually see them every day so it was a long 2 weeks which reminded me why I love spending any time I'm not at work with them 🥰
