    Adriene, just wanted to share how helpful this video was for me. I have a history of sexual trauma and never realized how much this impacted my pelvic floor and lack of sensation in that area. This video, while I struggled with the movement (a lot) made me feel sensation I haven’t in many years. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and had to share that this video changed my life. I feel like I found a missing puzzle piece to my healing. Thank you endlessly.

    Adriene, I want you to know that your yoga videos have helped me through so much... through everything that dragged me down in life. I look forward to following along to your uploads - it’s part of my routine. I don’t know what I would have done without your videos, I tried to overdose last year, was barely clinging on to life, down to the the wire. I’m 19 and male which i guess is probably strange for someone who watches this content but your yoga saved me and I am so grateful for all you have given me... your kind words, inspiration and uplifting view on life and your beautiful yoga, it has done more than I probably even know to help me. Thank you, for all that it’s worth :)and I want you to know I have made it to a happier place now, and I have friends who support me and I look forward to living again, and your videos have helped me maintain my brighter outlook on life. I Hope you’re doing well and I will be loving every video you continue to put out and I know if I hit rougher times again, I can always just sit down and follow along to some of your videos. 🙏 thank you 😊

    11:08 - Lie down with knees bent, feet planted. Breathe and lift the pelvic floor. Imagine a diamond shape with an upper and lower triangle. You can try to isolate which triangle you lift by either focusing on the sensation of trying not to pee or trying not to pass gas.
    15:00 - Lift the lower back on inhale, lower your back and lift pelvic floor on the exhale
    16:14 - BRIDGE POSE - Lift hips up, chest to chin and chin to sky. Release. Repeat.

    19:26 - If you want a little more, lift the shins, spread legs open, lift pelvic floor as you bring legs together. Repeat. Find the variation that suits you today.
    21:24 - SUPINE TWIST - Hug the knees to the chest. Hold your right knee to your chest, send your left leg out. Take your right knee to your left side. Open your right arm. Turn onto your right ear. On your exhale, lift your pelvic floor.

    25:45 - Pick your variation. Breathe deep, hear your breath, lift the pelvic floor
    26:15 - HOVERING TABLE - Come to all fours. Bring the knees under the hips, wrists under the shoulders, curl the toes under, press away from your yoga mat. Inhale, exhale and lift the pelvic floor. Maybe hover the knees..

    27:40 - DOWNWARD FACING DOG plus lift the pelvic floor on each exhale
    29:42 - Lie on your back, put your hands on your lower belly, lift the knees just over the hips, engage your lower back and lift your pelvic floor. Lower toes down and take a moment to fully relax. Repeat. Close your eyes.
    30:20 - If that is too much for you today, do one leg at a time. Don’t go too fast
    32:31 - Rock as many times as feels awesome for you.
    32:45 - BREATH OF FIRE / KAPALABHATI PRANAYAMA - Sit up tall. Hands on the lower belly. Breathe deep, directional breath down. Lift the pelvis as you breathe out. Now speed up with short, sharp, repeated exhales.
    36:02 - Take deep breaths. Soften and relax everything.
    36:49 - SHAVASANA - Lie on your back. Let everything soften and relax. Close your eyes. Let your weight melt into the earth. Give thanks for your journey, for this practice. Take what you need and leave behind anything you don't need.
    38:12 - From my heart to yours, draw the palms together. Thumbs to third eye. Namaste.

    Probably the most under-addressed, highly important area of the body. Thank you for taking the time to create this!! I have a lot of awareness of this area but I still struggle with it ... I have hypermobility affecting the positioning of my sacrum and pelvis, which has led to a litany of problems that I can't afford to treat. So doing a practice like this is extra important for me, even just to keep those muscles as active as possible and hope that it helps. Thank you, Adriene!! I love you!! Namaste

    As a woman who had two children I found yoga to be instrumental to strengthening my pelvic muscles. I had trouble getting the most out of kegel exercises, I would forget or not do them correctly. Yoga helps me visualize the muscles and actually feel the strength of my abdominals. I'm adding this routine to my favorites.

    Here for the BUILD calendar session. Haven't been able to do every one this month, but def glad I got it in today! I saw 38 min and was expecting to sweat it out crazy, but this took me by surprise. This is why some people make fun of yoga, but maaaan, you don't know what you DON'T KNOW until you've tried it! Going inside yourself, challenging yourself to focus (calmly) on your breathing and targeting a place inside your body - it was a great experience for me! As I'm typing this now, I can feel that my abdominal and pelvic areas were worked on from the inside. And Adrienne, one way you know she's Master level is even though this is a video, she seems to always know when your mind is wandering off and she makes a gentle, funny comment to get your head back into it! I trip out every time like, damn, how did she know???!!! LOL!!!

    Some of this practice went over my head. Particularly with the fire breathe. I have a hard time focusing on when to breathe out and when to breathe in when it came to the pelvic lifts. Learning to not beat myself up when I don't master something right away. This is a journey, and I intend to be patient and loving toward myself as I grow and develop more in my practice. Thank you again Adriene for putting together this build playlist.

Doing the "30 days" yoga would have made a difference in coping with work. I'm a lifelong runner too and the yoga has helped tremendously.

    @linguistacaotica Před 5 lety +72

    Spot on practise, as always!
    About dogs loving breath of fire: Recently, I have done a lot of research and reading about assistance and support dogs and basically, in their training their natural instincts are simply brought out more. Hence, I imagine the fast breathing would make some dogs 'wonder' if their owner was in distress, so they come close to you to check the smell of your breath to make sure you're okay. Any chemical imbalance (low blood sugar, an oncoming seizure or other physical distress) I imagine they would be able to detect because it's different from the usual smell.
    Benji came up to you, smelled your breath and then laid down behind you. He might have still been a little unsure of what do as he was yawning. Mother nature gave us impressive friends, didn't she?

    I have been watching your videos on the pelvic floor and lower back for a couple weeks now, and it has been seriously helpful in my treatment for vaginismus. It's not very well talked about, but it's basically an involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor when it comes to vaginal insertion of anything, including tampons, and the attempt to do so is very painful. So doing these videos have really helped me loosen up, and made dilating a much easier experience and my progression noticeable. Thank you!

    This practice is GOLD. It's one of my favourites, it changes everything. I started to think more of my pelvic floor while I'm doing the other routines. I feel like it was a "dead spot" until i did this practice for the first time. Now i do it once in a while. Thank you dear Adriene!

    Thank you for this gift. I struggle with core and pelvic floor exercise as I have a stoma and pelvic radiation damage, this practice really helped me to start to finally feel these muscles responding. I am very new to exercise of any sort but having lost 48 pounds I finally feel able to be more active, and your practices have become part of my daily routine. My cats enjoy it too and often seem to join in. Thank you again I value the time each day that I share with everyone here.

    I felt a little dizzy after this practice, lots of tingling in the hips, legs, pelvic floor and lower belly. I feel really worked out but good. There were a lot of unexpected new things, different and rather challenging but always fun with you Adriene. Thank you for this new and inspiring practice. It has left me wondering and also thinking that in the future I will use this awareness of my pelvic floor when we are on the mat. See you tomorrow for Day 30 of CENTER🧘🏼‍♀️🙏💞

    As someone who lives with chronic vulvular pain due to vulvodynia, this is synchronicity.

Thank you so much! I am sharing this with an on line vulvodynia support group.
