My Blossom friends, if you felt weak during this yoga session, you are not alone. I collapsed many times and felt weak, but the important thing is that I showed up and this is a journey that you will be better little by little, not suddenly. just show up and continue my buddies. You will get this, we will get this. This community will get this. Namaste 🙏

Nice and light. RIGHT. No, I find this one to be one of the toughest of Adriene's shorter videos, and even laughed when ten minutes before the end, she said we were almost done. I had trouble doing all the reps, and likely binging on bread yesterday did not help today's practice. That said, I still felt stronger this time around with it, and having meditated immediately beforehand, my mind had no unkind words to share. I leave it feeling refreshed and ready for a nice, long walk over to a pond I last visited a year ago, hopefully without much rain. Cultivate day 29. 329 days in a row.

WONDER ❄ | December 17, 2023 | We did it y'all! I know what to expect now with this core buster, so I did it first thing before having my breakfast 😆. I woke up with a bit of a fussy lower back to I was a little worried, but it only really made itself known during the plank series and not too bad. I followed up with a few lower back stretches (NOT a second or third round of this practice, which frankly Adriene, I don't think will ever happen 😅). 🙏

I love all core practices, they keep this senior yogi’s back strong, they are safe and strength building, so because I’m still recovering from being 🥴 🤢 🤮 I used the neck hammock, perfect, and easily made it to forearm toe taps. But I confess to wallowing in child’s pose and listening, while you did the side planks Adriene. So I found what feels good, my way, as I do every morning with you 😊 see you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

It is enough for me to go easy, stop when needed and not allow the mind to reach frustration.

Here again for July Spark Day 12✅🌅😀🍀🌸 I must say, I really appreciate this 👌🏾core yoga practices & I finally push through this core strengthening practice without collapsing today, 💪🏾🧘🏾‍♀️👌🏾,yayy!🙌🏾 tiny victory😊, having had wobbles, falls, collapsed a lot and had to pause this in the past during blossom. I attempted it more often as a challenge by going at my own pace with gentle movements & gentle push...I am getting there... so can you, keep going, you can do this!😊💪🏾🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️😌 See you strong yogi lovelies 2moro Namaste🙏🏾💚💚💚

In over 2 years of YWA videos, this is only my third time doing this one. It's her toughest one! I stuck with it, though I did the easier modifications. My god how good my body felt at the end in the twist. Yoga high. Wow. Thank you!

The hardest YWA video I have done!! That was brutal!! I will feel good the day I can complete that routine without a rest break!!

Wow this was challenging, I was on fire!!!!! But every time I think “argh I can’t do this”, Adriene gently inspires me to want to do better. So I took a steady breath and I tried harder! I achieved so much more than I thought I would. Thank you so much beautiful lady, your videos have anchored me in hope throughout the lockdown. Big love to everyone reading this, and watching this channel, we are one 🧘‍♀️🙏🏻🌍🥰

Cultivate Day 29: This was a challenging video, especially the threading the needle part, but I'm glad to work on the chance to work on the core.

I see the comments...I’m scared Update: that was not okay

Now you've got ME scared. About to give this a go.

I had to pause the video and double check if this was really Yoga with Adriene… wow!!!! 😊

I refreshed the page, and realized that we were more than 100 people doing same video at the same time

I love reading the comments and knowing I'm not the only one who struggled with this. Good job everyone who at least tried and did their best! You've got this! I'm hoping I'll gain strength by doing yoga regularly. Thank you Adriane for the June calendar, it's a great help for that.

What kind of madman would be able to do this video 3 times in a row? 😂

Adriene - "you can do this video twice or even three times..." Me - *Laughs/wheezes in Unfit*

I’m not sure I could finish this without having completed Move! It set us up nicely for serious core work 🙏🏻

Yes! My dog totally just high fived me! I didn't even know he could do that!

Spark Day 12 now a 🔥 Challenge that my body & soul needed 🙏

Adriene: Really try to reach your elbow to your knee - Me: * really trying * Adriene: - rather than your knee to your elbow Me: omg she’s looking at me

Wow, abs on 🔥. Love the class, Namaste ya'll 🙏 ❤

It always makes me emotional seeing my previous comments. Love to my blossom family. We got this guys ❤❤❤

Core work simultaneously scares and excites me! Prior to finishing up the Move 30 Day Challenge, I would have not been able to do ANY of this. And, while my performance was far from perfect and I still needed breaks, I was capable of way more than I expected! Cheers to growth!🥂

Ok core strength videos from Adriene are so great and the shorter they are, the more intense they are and oh man do they burn. Adriene really knows how to kick our butts in these core strength videos💪🏻

I must say I have never (lovingly) cursed Adriene so much as I did in this video. YOWZA was that SO challenging. Kudos to anyone who stuck with it no matter how many breaks you took! And hopefully you laughed at yourself along the way (like I did) (:

It seems I have done this practice twice before, one and two years ago! I was fine but felt the burn and think I'll be a bit sore in the next day or so. I did give up a bit on the side planks but generally pleased with my 68 year old self. Thank you Adriene xx Namaste 💟💟

Spark day 12- Wow, those side forearm planks really worked my mind AND body! I may have fallen, but we all are learning its about how many times you get back up! Namaste!

I've started Lyra classes, and after my first class, I realized I am 3x weaker than I once was. I asked the teacher what I had to work on in order to improve and she said I could do knee push ups, which is great. But then I realized Adrienne has so many videos towards building the core and arms. The yoga also increases flexibility which is nice because I learned that my hips were super tight as well!! I am a little nervous how much this is going to hurt, but I just went through a break up, so it's time to get stronger in as many ways as possible.

Wow loved this practice, lots of hard work, but certainly feeling more awake now! Hope everyone following along with Expand enjoys & has a great day 😊

I think this ritual would suffice for one time right now for me🤪 love core workouts with Adriene, missed Benji in this video

Blossom day 9! (day 39 for me) I just did this after waking up and right before getting ready to go to uni so I'm extra energized today!! ☺

I remember the first time I did this video - frequent rests and not able to complete the last piece at all - after practicing since January 1 with no breaks I only needed short breaks - still a long way to go but I am proud of my progress- Thank you YWA - you have helped me so much =Namaste

Great session today - hard for me but loved it! Thank you

Blowing my own trumpet; I've done this once a week for the past year, its still really hard, but the other day I was doing a yoga pose on my front, lying down and I COULD FEEL MY CORE MUSCLES so it's working for me! Thanks Adriene!

Hard work always pays off. Good job for everyone who show up today. Namaste🙏

I think this video made me cry uncle more than her video of "let's do a variety of different pushups."

I loved this today - yoga and abs in one beautiful session. After two long walks in the sun, I’m done! Ps anyone actually high five Adriene at the end? I did 😀👍💕

Kudos to those that did this video twice or three times in a row as Adriene mentions. 😳😳 Once for the day is good for me! Thanks, Adriene!!

Hi Vikki! Awesome! How did you feel afterwards? Nice to meet you! Namaste and Ase!.🦋♥️🦋

Damn, I could not finish some repetitions. Took and breather in 3, 4 moments and then continued. I feel weakness in my lower back and core. It was a very good challenging workout.

I have been doing yoga and pilates regularly the past month and am proud to say I went through this workout TWICE!!! I've done core workouts with Adrienne in the past and they kicked my ass. My core strength is really building. I'm so happy!!!

Oh boy, this is one video I shall need to repeat, and repeat, and repeat. 😀

High Five to US! Even if I’m struggling and crying but never giving up! We are strong!!!!

I think I remember crying the first time I tried this, it was so frustrating: I couldn’t hold my legs up long enough to make it through a single exercise and my neck was so uncomfortable. Oh yeah plus my abs were screaming!! But I slowly started incorporating this into my practice regularly until it became a weekly commitment. I set myself the target of doing this for 30 days straight in June and I am so CHUFFED that I did it! And I really do feel the results, underneath my layer of squish I can feel muscle! And I can make it through the whole routine now although I still do not have the desire to do it more than once in a row, thank you Adriene ;-) Keep at it my friends!! It is a very rewarding ritual once you’ve got the hang of it.

I agree with the majority that this indeed was a hard one today. I did what I could but I fudged on a bunch of this. I had to look at the video more than usual to know if I was doing it right. I am thankful that it was a shorter video tonight. It was a tough day (in life) and therefore a day when I offer myself extra grace.

Forgot what a challenge this one was but feeling nice & awake now 😅 hats off to anyone who does this one multiple times! Blossom day 9

Dear Adriene, you are saving my days and life in these days of quarantine over here in Milan - Italy. I could not make it through without my daily yoga sessions with you. Thanks so much for being around with your cheerful voice and engaging smile! GRAZIE MILLE! Antonella

Crazy coming back to this video and seeing my comment from a year ago where I was struggling to get through this practice and comparing it to now when I got through it all right alongside Adriene without having to take any breaks. So proud of how far I have come!

I've been doing situps wrong until today...they are way more difficult than I ever realized! Thank you Adriene 😊

Spark day 12. July 2022. Woah, that was tough. Did ok until the planks at the end.

Most of the comments indicate this is quite a tough practice, so all in all I was pleased with myself! I kept up until the forearm planks - when asked to move each leg to the side, I collapsed!! Continued on with side planks though, with one leg supporting, to the end. I feel like I've had a good workout! Thank you Adriene xx Namaste 💟💟

I have an injury down my left side at the moment from shoulder down to the hip from lifting something too heavy and twisting! HOWEVER this practice surprised me in a good way.... it was like a massage for the back. I listened to my body and stayed with the breath... FELT SOOOO GOOD!

Walking on our Journey is definitly an amazing experience. Some days are harder and you need to find your inner strenght, some days everything seems to flow naturaly, like Universe got your back. I am grateful for all the work I did these past years that get me to this point...Enjoying doing core exercice ! I didn't think when I started yoga, I could said that one day, but YES I CAN ! With pratice and discipline, everything is possible !

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Spark Day -12 was no joke. Firstly, it took a hot minute to return to the mat. Secondly, I completed this practice at 11:15 P.M. It's going to be interesting to read my previous experience. This session is aligned with what's happening in my life - challenges. I pushed through. Lastly, I stated, "I am strong." I will dance 💃🏾 through the obstacles and overcome them to achieve my goals. Life can be frustrating. Then, there is beauty in the breath that reminds us it isn't so bad we rose for another opportunity to work toward our goals. I feel so accomplished after completing this session, so late in the evening. Now, I'm going to study another practice with my other instructor. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋
