Watching this video I can see how far you've come in your practice and inner journey, and even 10 years ago your foundations are so strong! Thank you Adriene 🙏

[@brittany7895]

Finally finally finally starting to gain some balance in my modified tree pose ❤

[@TheClarkeh]

🎉 way to go ❤

[@brittany7895]

@TheClarkeh 🙏 thank you. Happy to be practicing with you and others around the world

[@brucejallen]

Thank you Adriene and your video makers. I am 62 and did a fair bit of yoga in my 20's and early 30's. I have just this week begun again attending a class twice a week and following along with your video's each morning. It is easing my moments of anxiety and depression. I thank you again and hope I can stick with it.

[@122123]

I hope you've stuck with it

[@yogawithadriene]

I can recommend some poses for high blood pressure - forward fold are good, seated postures, bridge pose, etc- and of course everyone is different. I have been wanting to do a sequence for this as high blood pressure runs in my family. The new series "Embrace It" will include sequences with a theraputic approach. I will add this to the list, thank you! Stay tuned. xx

[@EJK26]

Thank you for this Adriene. High blood pressure runs in my family too. You are an angel. ❤ - Ed Kennedy

[@M.Babadook]

Thank you for saying "no toxic thoughts" at the end. I'm doing yoga mostly to improve my mental health and balance but I'm still a beginner. You snapped me out of my unhelpful negative thoughts.

[@anyaforestell]

Great little foundation video for a Friday :) See you all tomorrow for a wonderful Saturday too! Root Day 28, April 2023 🌴

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

This was so much fun to do again this boxing day and at bedtime, a 😅👌🏾yoga pose, so brilliant to add this practice and I found it very relaxing. I'm so appreciative of Wonder Day 26:12:23✅🎁🤗. hope all you lovelies had a nice boxing day. Namaste❤🙏🏾

[@CAR17796]

Tried to come into this with more of a beginners mindset and try all variations instead of just going straight into what I knew, thank you adriene!

[@MackDaddyDay]

Took me years to get into this pose. So proud I can stand in tree! Merry Xmas Eve! WONDER DEC 2023

[@aniagorczynska1970]

Same here. 😊It took me about two years. Merry Christmas!🎄

[@cherylyeo25]

[@katesinit]

Root day 28! Feels good to be back on the mat! Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🤎🤎🤎

[@marywells71]

Root day twenty-eight. This practice was awesome for seeing how far I’ve come in my yoga journey! Thank you Adriene! Namaste 🤍

[@CeciliaKautzman]

WONDER ❄ | December 24, 2023 | Part 2 - Continuing the theme of balance and stillness today on Christmas Eve, so appreciated! 🙏

[@camillebrooks3527]

I remember at one point tree pose seemed impossible now I'm so focused and doing the pose. Thanks very much Adriene. Love you. ❤️ ❤ Namaste.

[@MackDaddyDay]

I feel like im in a simulation. I did tree pose on both sides!😮 my palms are sweating, which does not happen to me often😅 standing with my leg in the air was harder than tree. Also first time feeling that type of burn in my calfs😂 wow!🎉 Love June 27th 2023

[@katesinit]

Build day 26! One of my favorite poses💕 Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🤎🤎🤎

[@okglitterbug15]

I never really had any balance and I tend to carry more weight on one side of my body, and I never really thought that I was good at it. Whenever I would take yoga classes I would dread doing the standing poses because I would be off balance and feel embarrassed. But your video really helped! I always thought I just did not have that strong of a core, but what you said about lengthening up the spine is what I have been missing I swear! all of a sudden I can balance THANK YOU!!

[@helenajuliadebecka8951]

It's so cool to watch it in 2021! Beginnings of the channel was as nice as it is today :)

[@freespirit995]

Thank you for posting this superb video of Vrksasana. I find this one of the most difficult poses and your methodical and calm demonstration is really helpful. Oddly, I find this pose easier in my pre-breakfast practice than in my weekly evening class. The hardest part for me is not to lose concentration- or rather not to see my thought get diverted to other things than the execution of the pose- as, when that happens, I inevitably lose my balance! Many thanks once again for sharing this instruction!

[@krkemp12]

Most challenging of the "Foundations" so far! My foot only reaches about knee height, can't get to thigh and I'm wobbling quite a bit...be interesting to see my progress on this one. :) Thanks for these foundation videos, great for us who've never done ANY yoga before. Love seeing your dogs while you teach!

[@sandylynn9834]

Thank you for this helpful video! So good to see the pose broken down to master doing it correctly. A few compliments too! Love your yoga space, the shirt you’re wearing, and the introduction to your videos. Have a great day!

[@Kralechka]

Love this pose. Really brings awareness to every muscle in your body

[@julieerin115]

One of my favorite yoga poses!

[@TheClarkeh]

Root Day 28 🙏🏼

[@ReginaLynnavatar]

Wednesday, April 26th 2023 and I was a tree . My balance is getting better, this is good . Okay Benji , okay Adrienne , love you bunches , see ya tomorrow, namaste 🙏🏻😘🐶🥰💖☀️🦋🌈🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@doraentertainment6507]

I just started yoga this week. I am so glad that I discovered your KZbin Channel. You really take your time to explain the poses; as a beginner, that is exactly what I need. THANK YOU!

[@lyndosha_E]

Hi! I am focusing on the foundations in yoga while I am pregnant. I have been practicing since 2012 and am a mid-level to advanced yogi. I didn't know how much I would appreciate getting back to the basics in yoga due to the Baby. This easy practice was what I needed today.

[@val_ezresponse]

Great instruction. she's a lovely teacher.

[@BRADFORDKO]

I for one thank you for taking the time to share for free yoga. I am benefiting from all of this. no worries.

[@alysabeth3059]

Hello! I just started watching your videos yesterday and I started with yoga for complete beginners, but realized that I didn't understand how the poses worked, so I came to the foundations. I just wanted to say you are an excellent instructor and very funny. Also, your dog is super cute!

[@lizrobinsga]

Foundations of yoga, you are the bomb! For about six years, I've sucked at tree pose, and when I decided to go basic and check out this video, it made me light years better. Thanks, Adriene. .

[@LupitaMartinez63018]

❤❤❤❤ I love this one!!!

[@eLearnIT]

Superb. Metaphorically, After running a while, it’s important to revisit walking; breaking it down & feeling each element

[@kristinamandathimas1860]

I have been told my other instructors how I've gotten better with my balance as well as with the ball and step. In the process of it all. I've noticed how. I'm doing tree pose more and more without any issues. When I poured me a big cup of water I had the cup in great freezer door filling up my cup and was able to slide my foot in and up to my inner thigh without any issues. I noticed the same thing tonight when talking to my tonight my arm lying on her bed and was able to do the same j had done it not thinking about it I won't do it with my shoes on but it's just usually when Im not wearing any or if I'm wearing flip-flops I'll take my foot our and will do it not even thinking about it This pose is helping make such a difference in my balance and posture and. Much easier it's become. Thank you so much for introducing this I love you for it and greatly appreciate you continuing to make such a difference in our every day life through your practices You help teach us so much and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you so much

[@talonthehand]

Day 59 of the current run - Tree Pose is one of my favorites, but man balance is not coming to me this morning.

[@talonthehand]

Day 119 (part 1) of the current run. I’m finally getting better at balancing on my left leg. Still not as good as my right, but we’re making progress.

[@talonthehand]

Day 189 (part 3) of the current run. Didn't have any trouble at all balancing on my left leg, even getting my right leg fully up to the thigh without effort. Not sure if it's progress or me paying more attention to the tilt of my pelvis, which I totally did.

[@talonthehand]

Day 299 (part 1) of the current run. Haven’t had any issue getting up to the high tree pose, so I started practicing it with eyes closed. I held balance for about three quarters of a second. So yeah, there’s some growth to be done there.

[@talonthehand]

Day 423 of the current run. Starting slipping with my right foot lifted on the thigh again, so I'm going to work on this a fair bit.

[@janematsell8816]

I've always wanted to do this pose properly, and now I'm on my way! You're a great instructor, and I appreciate your charisma.

[@galukya1]

Happy Restorative Sunday, I looove the tree pose and thankful to God that I am able to enjoy this pose. I particularly like to lift my arms high and spread them like branches, a total stretch. Jai Namaste 🙏🏽

[@jetsilla]

Oh dat tree pose. I’m like a tree 🌳 swaying in the 🌬 wind. I’ll be revisiting this lesson !

[@mimibeamy89]

I know it's late in the day but I just have to say so far this series has been so so helpful! Feel much more connected to my poses and general posture and it's been great for helping me see things differently and to approach them in more fruitful ways! Thanks Adriene!! You da bomb! ;)

[@amyandrews4765]

While doing this practice I am watching the spring leaves emerge on the trees through the window🌿

[@leynaabbey]

Was finally able to come into a proper tree pose and hold for 5 whole seconds!!! Not very long, I know, but it's progress

[@hannalofman2444]

I did yoga for connection today and the breathing was perfect for me. Halfway through my dog started poke me with her huge plastc collar (she had big surgery two days ago) , I took her our, walked her aroung the house, she did nothing, we got back, the she kidnapped my head inside her collar and started licking my face, I started laughing and that was a treat for the day. Now I need a tiny nap, before going to do little bit of garden work💚🍂leaves from the Fall🌹cutting the roses🌞Namaste

[@cutemuffins3567]

Day 24 part 2 complete. I haven't quite gotten the hip flexibility to get my leg up to where I would like it without holding my foot to be so I decided to just hover my foot next to my standing leg where it wants to be because I am not going to press my foot against my knee where it wants to be. 12/24/2023

[@cowboy_dad]

definitely pants are unnecessary here. especially sweatpants

[@victoriafroggy6158]

Fantastic video! Love the idea of actually trying to throw yourself off balance. Made an already cool pose even more fun!

[@shondaet]

I love this posture. I even do this when I'm sleeping but if course I'm laying down. I like all the tips. I really need to practice my balance and I can do this in the kitchen cooking or whenever I stand somewhere. Great tutorial. I am enjoying these foundations videos.

[@joninavilvestre]

6:19 was the cutest thing ever HAHAHA

[@wokrabi]

better then any other leg workout. So thankful for this video. I think this will contribute a lot for improving my posture. :)

[@ingeborg-anne]

Blue is the star of this show.

[@displacedKsFarmGirl]

checking in again....I have been able to practice 6 days/week for a little over a month now. I would like to do 7 days/week however I’m a mom of 4, inevitably a kid activity seems to get in the way at least one day a week 🙄😜😆 Anyway....today I attempted this “tree pose” for the first time! Maybe I should have recorded myself and shared to give everyone a good LOL....I KNOW I looked absolutely ridiculous flailing around trying to stay balanced!! 🤣 Not to worry, though, as I have learned by doing the other videos....each day I “build” (one of Adrienne’s fav terms😉) and each pose feels more confident. I WILL master you, Tree Pose!! As always, thank you, YWA, for making these videos available! 😘 P.S. I have also been doing the first “fat burning” sequence daily for probably 2 weeks now...maybe I should share an update comment on that video.

[@emeliasoderlund]

I think this is one of my favourite poses! x

[@abbyconnors7916]

This was really helpful in feeling the balance for the tree pose... Thank you!

[@mithilagayatri5689]

i m in love with this pose... but its in no way easy to balance.. thank you for your free videos

[@PlanetC64]

Either you got me on a good day (so true about not being able to hide in this pose)... OR I am going straight through your Foundations playlist and the Mountain pose video directly before really got me in that balanced place. Either way, I am a happy tree for the first time. Woohoo! THANK YOU!!

[@TopGreen]

I like this pose ❤ Thank you for teaching me every day something new 😉👍

[@KBKB744]

Build Day 26. Namaste 🙏🏽❤️💚💛🙏🏽

[@camailleu_1759]

Doing this on Earth Day ! Namaste

[@tamiresdasilva5168]

I really enjoy your videos Adriane,you have a great sense of humor :)

[@MarcioFaustinoSantos]

I just want to say thank you.

[@xtina12307]

My legs were definitely burning after this pose! I will have to practice and build my strength up more! Thanks! :]

[@amyandrews4765]

Nice tutorial 🌴

[@olgabond5877]

The dog is just like my cat - always want to share a mat :) thank for great explanation.

[@apaschal6141]

Another great tutorial. I was born with dropfoot in my right foot. Additionally, I have developed a bunion on the same foot. Together these make balancing on that foot almost impossible. Thank you for acknowledging the need for some of us to use a wall.

[@canadianswimmmer]

Beautiful instructions ! Love your energy and smile ! Thank you

[@judegates341]

Falling 🌲 thank you ❤

[@therightlevel]

my first time on this play list...catching up from the big hiatus...today Aug 14, 2023 and should have done June 30, 2023.... 2 of 2

[@therightlevel]

Dec 26, 2023......just did Vshred M1 Day 26 - Upper Body and Abs....then this great short practice.

[@savannahmae1037]

Humbling Tree pose for me today 😅😄

[@mikoparsonius]

Hi from the UK. Just starting with your videos, and thanks, - your detail and pacing are great so we can get into the pose slowly taking time to work it properly. Curse my wobbly left foot, but I'll get there :)

[@johnkeyes9956]

Very good, I really needed the help on tree pose! Thanks!

[@gabidias11]

very very very very helpful, thanks for sharing :) love and light

[@yogawithadriene]

Love back to you Gabriela!

[@tizianarodriguez2896]

I love your classes and your puppy he is so cute

[@juliecole3861]

Thanks so much for your teachings as you made this soo doable, even if I had to get down to my undies to do it! Yay for being able to work out in the comfort of my home. Thank you soo very much for your teachings, namaste.

[@livemusicloverLyn]

I love this pose, it's one of the first I conquered! well, the first "hard" one. This was the best lesson on Tree pose though, thank you Namaste :)

[@pauline0087]

I'm a new subbie and i love yhe way you show us each pose. Thank you adriene!

[@yogawithadriene]

Thanks man! xx

[@kelseystonehouse9746]

You are the best! I watch all your videos!

[@heidimarx3724]

Definitely have lost my flexibility and noticed I am open in the hips more then the other side and can lift the leg and open higher. Took the left side as is and where I am at the moment. Thanks Adriene for the tip. I am someone that always places my feet in the knee area when doing tree pose.

[@TheYazmanian]

Omg that was Blue. I remember he talking about him. 🌈😭

[@gloriak8756]

oh my god, i just love you and your lessons

[@ultracalicokittycat]

I love when you say "Metaphor!!" LOL

[@ОляКубик-ш5у]

who could ever dislike Adrienne's videos? Hey, I want to see that person. Really, those must be very mean people.

[@erendirina1]

I love your videos, great explanation, totally useful! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@ashleighspencer276]

I am very new to yoga and have loved all of your videos that I have watched! I was just wondering if it was normal for the grounded foot to shake when you first start to do this pose? Like I feel like I am just not very stable yet and very shakey.

[@valerykabs885]

I love this pose! I like trying to keep balance and become very glad when it happens) and also I like that you should keep ABS tight there.

[@christopherthuraisingham5083]

Good stuff...!
