We got a 7 month old kitten this weekend and today was the first day I did yoga without my boyfriend at home to distract the kitten. 😂 He tumbled over the keybord of my laptop four times muting and resetting the video, standing beside the screen almost as many times trying to catch Adrien and making me pause to toss a toy. two times he had a fierce fight with an unoccupied part of the yogamat and another he was right in the way to put my foot down. In shavasana he decided that my arm was his new arch enemy and had a fight with that too. 😂 But as soon as the video ended he plopped down on my ponytail, resting his head on the arm he hadn't picked a fight with, purring, and decided we better take a second shavasana together. I agreed. 🥰 Maybe not the most smooth of yoga experiences so far ... but at least I showed up! 😄

This was a hard one and I was off balance almost the whole time. At the end when she says to look in a pond and imagine what you see...I imagined my deceased mom saying she was proud of me for sticking with it and making it to day 67 of yoga. I'm glad the remainder was relaxation because I started crying. It is all connected.

The rare sequence in which my body would have none of it until we were down on the floor. Likely just where it was today, arms feeling better, but legs taking their place. I wobbled through and completed it. Once on the mat, stay on the mat, although at one point, I did have a thought I had not had in a while, to stop the video and try another. I didn't. Some days, it is just like that. Embody day 9. 521 days in a row.

It was soooo hard. But a cheerful thing is that I did it --probably about a year ago-- and I couldn't do any of the balancing on one leg without toppling over immediately. I still did an attempt of that with a lot of toppling and hopping. But when I did this now, I couldn't really _always_ stay "up" but I could do it for a while, sometimes all the whole segment, and I was SHOCKED! @Adriene the wonderful is right! 💖 Just going on the mat so often ( every day since January 2020) is allowing my body to bloom!

22 Feb 2023: Gosh, that was hard - I had to fetch my blocks! Made me realise just how long ago I was a dancer. But also felt that it's okay, I have plenty of time to get back there even though I am over 60 and post-back-op. I've never lost the joy dancing brings to the soul. Going to do this practice again sometime to see an improvement. See you tomorrow 💕

First arm balance ended in faceplant haha , second side slightly more controlled yay ! Thanks Adriene 🙏

Yikes…I’m still feeling the challenge of this one even a day later. Thank you to those who posted that it was a challenge for them as well. It’s nice to know I’m not alone…and clearly not a dancer😂 Every day better.

Now I know why I never became a dancer, but I tried even though my mind thought I was 20 and my body felt all of its 70+ years. You can’t win them all, but I enjoyed the company of Adriene and all the other yogis 🙏 Tomorrow is another day. X

With the move completed, my body is still struggling with the sequences. I find the muscles and bones have been tired these six days since I flew. Still keeping to whatever edge presents itself. Align day 22. 871 days in a row.

Almost gave up as I kept feeling out of balance. But I stayed and I finished the practice. Feeling great as always. Day 14 on Spark! 🙌

Def not a dancer lol. Adjust city, baby xD Such a great thing that during this months with Adriene I learned that it's ok to adjust, so next time you can reach were you want. Such an important message for every aspect of life!!

Embody day 9 I'd seen this on the calendar & really wasn't looking forward to it - I'm not a dancer & found the title as such off-putting, but it's done. Challenging, especially trying to find balance in the standing splits, but better than expected. It'll be an interesting one to come back to

WONDER ❄ | December 21, 2023 | Surprisingly my balance was on point today, surprising because it's a rushed time of the year getting ready for the holidays, but I do feel calm and steady after this focused practice! Strengthening for the legs and the feet, but also incorporating some yummy stretches. 🙏

Day 9 of March 2022 calendar. Really liked this one. Loved all the extended stretches for my legs. I struggled through the balance poses, but kept with it. And just for kicks, I tried crow pose when we were in yogi squat -- been working on it little by little in these practices. I actually held it for 3 seconds!! That's going to carry me through my day with a smile. Thanks, Adrienne. You are my superhero.

This was a challenge for me but I kept going wobbling through as best as I could knowing that this is a journey and every day makes a difference to the next.

Well that was humbling. Also a reminder that we are different on any given day. I’ll keep returning to this one. 🙏🏻

The one leg balances were tough for me, and I got very frustrated. But I pushed through & by the end of class I felt much better. Thank you Adriene for today's practice!

Play day 13 - What a powerful practice, I really liked it. When I practiced this one last time, I struggled a lot during those balancing poses but this time it became a lot easier! Practicing yoga everyday strengthen my body for sure. I never felt that strong both physically and mentally before. Thank you so much Adriene for providing us these amazing practices. Namaste🙏❤💫

I call this the real shakthi, Adrienne. Every time i was at a low point emotionally or had terrible body pain, especially after pregnancy, i somehow found a new version of myself by working through 1 video at a time. I lost balance, pulled a muscle by a mistake, felt tired but at the end of it, it just felt brilliant. Thank you again and again for sharing your positive vibes!

Today I’m going to the pub. I’ll dance Dio, Ozzy and Iron Maiden songs, like a happy witch at the equinox 🤘🏼🖤💜 Thank you, Adriene, for your classes for so many occasions 😊

Align day 22. February 2023. Balance a challenge as always. Used my blocks and a chair. Felt strong. Play day 13. October 2022. Very challenging for me. Balance was not good this morning. Used the blocks again. Also some quite alarming noises in both knees during happy baby. Spark day 14. July2022. I find this practice very challenging. Working on my balance, and I think it’s getting better, but I remembered to have my yoga blocks to hand - and I used them.

Well, I love dancing but no way am I a dancer, struggled even to “meet my edge”. But I tried in my own way - lucky that I have a bookcase nearby!! 😅

Wow PLAY of humility for sure Scattered mind and scattered body as those balancing / standing pose dont lie Def a play of fire grace and more with this flow Namaste to all practising and May you find that inner dance to free whatever within .... dance like you Just dont care

Year 6 - Day 52 - Align 22: My mind and body fought with me the entire practice. I generally love balancing postures - but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to follow along tonight. However just when I was about to give up, I remembered your mantra Adrienne -"Find What Feels Good". I did just that and followed postures from the video when I could. Thank you for creating a space where it's okay and safe to just be - to exist, show up and try your best without judgement. Thank you!

Today was tough for me guys. I am happy that I at least made it to the mat. I will embody this day and whatever challenges it may bring.

Heat & fire. Great challenge for the legs and feet. I am ready for the day. Thanks Adriene. Have a nice day everyone 🙏🏻❤️

This was a challenge for me today. My body fought me the whole way but I did the best that I could. Some days are just harder than others. Thank you for ALIGN DAY 22

Mar 9, 2022 05:46 Intention : Find joy in everything we do everyday I have a challenging week now as work demands my time, strength, and brain neurons, not to mention demands I have to face at home. Looking back three or four years ago I will find myself not having time to exercise with this kind of hectic day until I have learned that I should exercise or do yoga ritual the moment I wake up before anything else or anybody needs my attention this way, I can have time for myself that will improve my mood, my ability to decide and boost my strength throughout the day, and true enough I am able to practice everyday regardless of what the day's demand to me and I always feel accomplished and productive because I know I maximize my time. Truth is choosing to do what is best for you is not hard it just have to have a specific time of the day and you'll see the progress. Thank you Adriene for reminding me to trust the divine timing, and try to find joy in challenging times. See you all tomorrow Namaste 🙏🏼

I'm doing 'Play' out of sequence because of time issues and usually my YWA session is a highlight of the day, but I spent a lot of this session fighting tears because of the balancing postures. I finished feeling frustrated and upset with myself and the practice. To counteract the feeling I found a short practice I'd done before and worked through that until I regained some equilibrium. So not a great day, but the important thing was finding some recovery and the resolve to be back on the mat tomorrow.

ALIGN 🌟 | February 22, 2023 | This practices offers a great opportunity to strengthen the glute/hip area. My balance was a little challenged today, not bad but a clue that I hadn't dropped into the practice as much as I could have. I felt some pain in my hands today so I had to back off the vinyasas a bit in the first half of the practice. 🙏

I did ballet for 13 years growing up, and I always struggle with pointing my toes down in three-legged dog! It is completely opposite to the constant "turn out" I learned, which is what is comfortable for me. It's really forcing me to work on a new set of muscles. I enjoyed the practice though on PLAY Day 13, October 2022 🩰💃

honestly that means more than if u r super fit and young and do the whole video, the whole point of life is to challenge yourself to prove you can do more than ur mind thinks it can. and the fact u stuck through it to the end is amazing and u shouldnt even beat urself up (not that u r) about not being able to do it all!! im 23 and ive been a lot more stiff than 18 i cant imagine at 57, i hope im like u and still pushing myself to try new things!! ur awesome!

I did this practice, because it was one I had never done before. But I got very happy and surprised when you said: "If you have something that is in process of healing, trust the divine timing". I felt touched because it is a phrase I did not expect in this particular practice, and, however, I needed to hear that. I started following Yoga With Adriene in my quest for own and self healing, around two years ago, from old wounds that are still in process of healingz and sometimes, like today I feel impeatient, or with no clues as how to keep on going or wheter it is worth it. I took this practice because I never did it before and as break from other practices I've been repeating over and over again, such as Yoga for PTSD or Anchor in Hope, or Yoga for Courage, and I am glad to knoe there are no actual breaks, just new ways in which tiny bits of healing keep on reaching to me.

I found today's practice quite challenging...but I did it! Thankyou, Adriene xxx

Namaste 🙏❤️✨

This one is always challenging for me, more so in one instance this time because I wrapped the leg around the ankle rather than across the other leg 😆🤣🙃. Still I found some ease among all the wobbliness. Play day 13. 739 days in a row. 🤸‍♀️🍂

I found several of these balance poses challenging, but what doesn't kill me makes me more flexible!

Loved this, was quite a challenge to stay in the leg balances, my shin muscles were straining! But feel really great and stretched out now!

Blessed Beloved Beauties! I substituted Align Day - 22 for " 5 - minute morning yoga " this morning at 6:30 A.M. that's all I had time for. My Theatre Ensemble group performed 🎭 at 8:00 A.M. this morning, and I've been swamped preparing for the Black History Month skits. This month has been off. I'm exhausted. Adriene often states, "A little goes a long ways, " and it did this morning. The kids did a good job! Well, best wishes, everyone! 🦋💕🦋

Omg that thing was MAGIC! My intention was one word - relax And when I started that long part with the WarriorIII pose I realized that I never in my life had such balance. I know it's because I practice every day this year. And I'm so happy I do that. This is a HUGE result for me. Namaste! 🙏

I am most definitely not a dancer and my body was not having this practice today lol. My legs are the weakest part of my body when it comes to yoga and I am already sore from the last days‘ practices so this was hard. I had to take multiple pauses and couldn‘t hold many poses as long as you did. The poses I did hold were very, very wobbly. It‘s okay though because at least I tried and I set my intention to just go through with it and don‘t be too hard on myself. I actually enjoyed this practice in the end!

Thank you everyone for sharing your real experiences including the wobbling! I adapted the one legged forward fold and just held the figure 4 and breathed - YWA is teaching me that it is OK to be where I am at because feeling frustrated won't change the present moment. I truly hope one day I can fly in Warrior 3 as beautifully as Adrienne. For now, gratitude that I can move my body and that the challenges will make me stronger

Attempted to do this practice on a moving cruise ship- wow, that added a whole new level of difficulty!!

I remember struggling with this one the first time I came across it on a monthly calendar. I fancied myself capable as a former dancer and then immediately forgot to breathe and be in partnership with my body. Dance as I was taught was about conformity. I felt toward the end this time through this extra level of compassion coming through from Adriene. Like she too has danced to conform. What a blessing to release that pressure and just be in my own body. Just as it is today. I feel an avalanche of gratitude for this teacher, this community, and this practice.

😂 for another wobbly yogi, 73, this practice proves how strong true dancers need to be. I really enjoyed this, doing my version in parts, always a bit wobbly on the left side. AfterwardsI noticed my usual body tingle, lovely, and the effect on different parts and muscles ... a real body toner, excellent ! Thanks Adriene, nearly the end of MANIFEST, Gratitude tomorrow 🧘🏼‍♀️😊🙏💞

Really nice practice for strengthening and balance. I love realizing it is my core that makes the balance, not just my legs. Thank for this mindfulness practice today!

Just a note here of deep gratitude to you for making these sessions available to us 💜💛💚💙

Absolutely love how this practice made me feel during and after. I love the balance of fire and grace, and I have never felt a balasana so centered and secure in my body as today 🙏🏼🤗🤩 Practice makes practice, the journey is the process and I FEEL so much more when I am tuning into each moment and each breath cycle. 🙏🏼 see you tomorrow, namaste 🙏🏼 ❤

I am grateful for my progress. Thank you Adriene See you tomorrow beautiful souls Namaste 🙏

YWA/FWFG family, I am here for the Embody March 2022 practice. For me, today's lesson was in humility, and a reminder to care for our bodies. I remember completing this practice before, and thoroughly enjoying it. I even remember bragging to my fiancé about how strong I felt after finishing it: "Today's yoga practice was tough, but I crushed it." It did not go the same way for me today. I was struggling, and getting frustrated at myself for struggling. My body can do this - I know my body can do this! Then, when my hips and ankles started to ache, really ache, during the first warrior three, I was reminded of the miles and miles of extra hiking I've done the last few weeks. I realized that my body could do it, but that today, it would come at a cost because I have not given my body the full TLC it needs. I adapted the poses so I could do them pain-free, accepting my body as it is today. Lesson learned. This afternoon, I plan to come back to the mat for something more restorative for both my body and soul.

Thank you! I had a rough summer and fell away from my daily at home yoga practice. Then my wonderful old best friend dog died six weeks ago, and I think I did yoga just once after that, and somehow my back went out. When it recovered then my neck went out! Lessons learned, a new semester is beginning, hope is in the air and joy is just around the bend. This practice really helped me tonight. It helped me bring joy and peace back in and around me. It wasn't an easy practice either!...but wonderful. Lovely to hear Adriene's sweet calm voice again and her gentle reminders to lengthen, trust ourselves, and breathe love in...breathe love out. 💖 Big hugs to you all. We're together in this experience, across time and space! 🥰

I modified a ton on this one too but so glad I persevered, the ending felt amazing. 🙏

loving the dancer-themed yoga! would love to see more of this as I do enjoy the grace and posture-focused aspects of dance :)

My favorite part of looking into an imaginary pond- Who am I? - was in this video. Loved it!

YES!

Not a dancer but tried this practice anyway. I knew it would be a good stretch and it so was. Loved the challenge. Thank you Adriene for another wonderful practice.

Align day 22! I love this practice so much, balancing poses are my favorite! Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💜💜💜

Feb Day 22! My body was more sore today than it has been so far 😂 I was very wobbly but still managed somehow! 😊

I was so pumped this morning for my 90th day straight of yoga, but my pride and excitement was bashed over the head by barometric pressure and pollen in the form of a ridiculous headache. By evening I realized it was now or never, the headache hadn't gone away and I didn't want to miss a day, so instead of giving it my all and doing this practice in top condition, I just did what I could, took breaks where needed, and was gentle with my body. I learned a valuable lesson, didn't break my streak, and I actually feel my head has cleared up a little bit. I was bummed earlier, but now I'm just grateful ✨

As an ex dancer with super strong legs I was really looking forward to this one. Disappointingly the fatigue and exhaustion that is ravaging my body right now was just too much. I made 12 minutes before I was out of breath and in a puddle of tears looking longingly at my snuggly bed. I'm hoping new meds are going to help soon so I can stop moaning and feeling sorry for myself and just enjoy yoga and life again 🥰 I still showed up and did what I was able to for day 251/365 🙏

@@sarakennelty4914 thanks Sara 🥰 I feel like you're my very own cheerleader 💝

I practised this two days running to see if it changed with a mind that had an idea of what was to come. I was still challenged and very wobbly, but I added in more of my own adaptations. It really is one I would love to do with grace so I shall come back

Loved this one! Great exercise, I'm looking forward to do it again in the future.

This practice was one of my favorites of the month, it's so juicy and it tackled so many muscles and joints that I've never felt stretch before. It's really helping me through my continuous joint pain. Who knew yoga could transform your life so much that it would give you so much hope for healing. Thank you Adrienne.
