- Day 5, oh baby! Our Day 5 practice is such a beauty. This practice reminds us how the way we carry our body can resemble or represent our innermost feelings. This session is also a guided invitation to make it your own, be intentional about the way you show up to move and breathe. Can you be gentle? Can you trust the wisdom of your body? The physical branch of yoga offers us the chance to better understand and get to know ourselves.
Continue to show up for practice and focus on how you do so. It’s all happening. ✨
Represent you, on the mat.

Day 5 check in! Where in the world are you practicing today?
I'm practicing from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Hi everyone. I'm practicing from Lagos, Nigeria.
Remote part of Iceland :) 🇮🇸
I’m practicing in Northamptonshire.
Baltimoreeee 🥳
Hi everyone. A yoga quote I heard recently and hold close is: " Yoga is not about touching your toes but what you learn on your way down." I hope we're kind and understanding to ourselves and everyone around us today. I'm so grateful sharing this journey with such beautiful people. Have an awesome day and see you tomorrow.
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
This is so nice!
Great quote, and I feel like that’s the embodiment of Adrienne and her channel ❤
I love that
Merci Adriene et Benji. It feels good to be back showing up on the mat everyday as a routine. After each session, I write a short poem and do a short painting on what came up following each theme. Merci for your inspiration and dedication ❤
Everyone needs an Adriene et Benji in their life.
Gratitude
My 3 year old joined in today. He loves dogs and asked what Benji's name was. He then started singing BINGO, but I helped him align the song with our practice and we sang 'There was a yogi who had a dog and Benji was his name-o'. Namaste Benji and Adriene.
This is the SWEETEST! Thank you for sharing your moment of joy with your little one 🙏
Cuteness ❤❤❤
It is January 20th and I am on Day 5. I am proud of myself for having shown up at the mat today because I really really didn't want to. But here I am, feeling more grounded and relaxed at the end of the practice. Shoutout to everyone who has started it later or is catching up days later - I see you and I appreciate you!
Right there with you on Jan 24, day 5. Sciatica is literally kicking my butt, so trying to be gentle with myself. 💜
January 25 and day 5. Everyone who does on this journey on their own pace - we rock😊
Shoutout back - January 27th - and on day 5 😊
Wooooo better late than never! Love you all
29th Jan on my day 5! I know I will finish it!
It’s snowing here so I took my mat to the window and opened the blinds. I lit some good smelling candles. Today is a good day to cozy up inside 😊
It‘s snowing here as well, I walked my dogs and then got into comfy clothes for yoga, it‘s like being in a cocoon.
I’m highly emotional during this Flow journey because my dad has been in the hospital ICU a little over a week. Each time I get on the mat I find myself in tears, but you’re helping me relax through this very difficult time. Thank you Adriene❤️
Aw I’m sorry to read this. Best wishes to your dad
Sending hugs and best wishes your way.
I hope so very much that healing is on its way. Sending you lots of strength. What a great thing to still show up on the mat and be there for yourself.
We hope he gets well very soon 🙏
I empathize so hard, my dad's sick too. Big hugs. The mat helps.
Thriving on day five! Just finished. Today’s session flew by! Have never ever done 5 days in a row of yoga. Today I was walking and happened to touch my mid thigh and it felt as hard as a brick, such muscle tone! That’s from 4 days! Yahoo! And I’m a young 74 years old. This is saving my body and spirit.😅
Cheering you on! fantastic x
You are doing so well!
That is awesome, much love on your yoga journey with us. See you on the mat soon. 🎉
Hey, what an awesome read! 38 here and the same enthousiasm and effects 😮❤❤
Right there with you, Norma. Wishing you a peaceful and happy day from a young 61 year old.🙃
Any one here at February 🙋
I did it in january, and decided to do it again. My favourite 30 days so far.
I am! 😊❤
i am!! 😊
I am 😊
Heck yes!
Had a hard time showing up on such a grey, windy morning today. Settling into my breath felt so much harder than normal. Nonetheless I DID show up. Proud of everyone who’s made it to Day 5
Well done! We are STRONG 🙌
Today's practice felt like a calming, gentle breeze. Thankyou Adriene for this mindful practice. Love to all the others practicing with me. See you tomorrow. Namaste🙏🌼
This is the perfect analogy and I totally resonate with your description of this practice 🙏
@@yogaontheroad-beginneryogis 💗💗
I’m in my 50s and I regret not knowing you long time ago..! What I experienced and feel is beyond words.. thank you is not enough.. my promise to you that I will continue doing Yoga for the rest of my life and invite all my friends and family to your channel..
Love you and your friend next to the mat :) ❤❤❤
Don’t regret ! You’re here now 🌷
Late fifties here. Been following Adrienne and doing her practices on and off for a year (chronic health permitting) I came back to it recently and I love it.
Don't regret it. You weren't ready for it then as you are for it now.
I resonate with this! YWA has brought so much to my life. So happy to be here and sharing the love ❤
I’m in my 60’s - yoga is needed more every year and decade!! Thanks for all the loving support all around the world!🥰
I really like these 20-minute, bite-size sessions. They are just enough to get in a great flow without a huge commitment.
I'm six days late and had an evening of panic attacks. But I still showed up. Now my whole body feels calm and safe again.
If I can do it, you can too ❤
I'm so grateful for this channel and community. Thank you Adriene!
I'm more than a month behind and have been at the peak of my anxiety all day. It's late in the evening and I should be heading to bed, but not before I show up to the mat for myself. So I get you! We're never alone in our struggles!
That flow was delicious, I found myself unexpectedly emotional afterward as I realised I continue to show up to yoga because I truly care about how I feel, that’s a huge revelation for me. Thank you Adrienne!
wow, that is huge! good job!! :))
love that Emily :) Yes!
This is magnificent. Thanks for sharing 🥰
January used to be a month of embodying the miserable, cold bleak weather, but yoga sessions like this one change one’s mindset into sun breaking through the clouds ⛅ Day 5 ✔ ❤
I’m sending some warmth and sunshine ☀️ from the Caribbean
Same. I'm in Canada and January has been made so much better from this yoga and community!
“The wisdom of the body is impeccable “ Love this! Thank you to the 4989 souls who met me on the mat today and to Adrienne for a gentle nourishing practice. Just what I needed on this raw January morning ❤
Had a day filled with anxiety but didn’t want to miss a day so did this after midnight. Proud that I still made it.
This time last year I wasn't fully recovered yet from an eating disorder and I found the parts where we lie still to be really difficult - I felt like yoga needed to be a workout 100% of the time. This year, I'm better able to relax. Putting my hand on my belly is a little uncomfortable, but it's going to be good for me and help me reconnect with my body. I'm so grateful for this series to bring me even further on my journey ❤
I appreciate and respect your honest in a public forum such as this. Modern society isn't built around healthy eating patterns or a healthy sense of body image... But adiene is gentle and kind and the community is lovely!! We are all here for you and with you.
Congratulations on your progress!
Currently in recovery, and this 30 day journey has been helping me cope. ❤️
Totally agree. I am still working on not feeling like movement has to be punishing and there is joy in it being gentle and calm.
I am so proud of you for your journey and for showing up for yourself. lots of love
Did this with almost 4000 other people, cool! I missed yesterday because of illness so I did two today. This one was lovely ✨ Have a great Saturday everyone ❤
Thank you for showing up!
I did two too to catch up!
I also had to do two today to catch up! Glad we showed up for ourselves 🎉
Also did two today to catch up, this morning wasn’t quite as relaxing as I had to manage my two year old at the same time but session 5 this evening hit the spot 👌❤
I also did a double feature today! Cheers to us for making the comeback 🎉
Who else thinks Adriene should narrate audiobooks??
Yaaaaaas!
Love her voice
I needed this today. The anxieties in my brain and the noise of the outside world are overtaking me a bit, but the sanctuary of this practice, particularly connecting to my breath and "finding what felt good", was so healing. Thank you Adriene and have a great day everyone! We've done FIVE days! ❤
No doubt the outside world is noisy and chaotic... The peace of being on the mat with Adriene and sharing the time with the community is sacred for sure.
Yes, what a gift from God. Adriene definitely has a gift to guide us to “another place” from within our own Self.
Cheers to you for continuing to show up each day! We are STRONG.
High five, everyone! We're awesome. ❤ Started my day annoyed at boyfriend for waking me up with his (insane!) snoring, but knew I had another day of yoga to look forward to, so got up, lit all the candles and (gently) jumped on the mat.
PS: No boyfriend was harmed. He's still fast asleep.😂❤
Congrats on overcoming the snoring boyfriend! 😂
He was your alarm clock! 😊
😂 I hear you. Hubby recently got this mouth guard (6 months ago), as he was a chronic snorer. I'm talking freight train, shake the room, snorer with apnea. He's slept so much better since, and so have I. Has reduced his snoring 85% i'd say and I havn't had to check that he's still with us when he stops breathing for 10 seconds at a time😅. Something to do with the loose lower jaw in snorers falling back and closing off the windpipe. I've seen others use mouth tape on Yt, and share their journey. It sounds weird but it works. 💚💚☮☮
Disclaimer; not a medical doctor 😅
Happy day 5 everyone! Such a beautiful way to start the day and love how sooo many people have practiced already. I love reading the comments after each practice, all of you are incredible and important! This community is the bright light we need in the world ❤ I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Had to fight through this one a little bit. My new year didn't start great with family conflict on new years and my mom finding out she has a tumor on my 18th birthday just a few days later. I have not done yoga in a while and was thinking about just stoping the video but then I remembered that it didn't matter to you if I did it correctly as long as I kept breathing. So I simply tried to focus my mind and body and finding calm. And I actually finished the whole video. I can't say that it changed everything for the better but it definetely helepd me to move slowly. I have never written before but your channel has been helping me for some time now through anxieties and panic attacks and terrible school stress and now hopefully through these new challenges my life is throwing at me. Much love and thanks to you and your team adriene.
Sending you love and peace. Keep showing up for the practices. I promise it will help you with your journey ❤❤
Saying a prayer and sending a hug for you and your family. 🙏 I hope you feel peace and hope on your journey.
Threading the needle helped start to loosen a knot I've had in my shoulder for about a year now, and I always love doing happy baby. You helped me out years ago after a divorce and job loss. I just can't follow anybody else. I'm recently single again and finally working on upgrading myself for good and you're helping me once again. Thank you
I’m so glad that I’m getting back into a daily practice again. I’m noticing a difference in my body, but my mind is definitely being a bit slower to follow. I’m working to remind myself that that’s ok, and to just keep showing up and breathing, so let’s see where this goes! Love to you all!
I told myself I'd write here every day for the whole 30 day journey, to say thank you to myself for getting to the mat each day, to say thank you to all of you out there doing the thing too, and to say thank you to Adriene for always being amazing and giving so much to all of us❤Day 5 in the books! I really needed all of that movement in the rib cage today, so it was perfect! See y'all tomorrow!
I’ll keep an eye out for your messages😁
Today was a hard day and it is so comforting to end it with this practice. I love reading the comments, it gives me such a beautiful sense of belonging😊🥰
today I started to panic when it came to finding the “perfect” place to practice. when i realized what that was the source of the panic, i convinced myself to practice on the bare kitchen floor while my cookies were baking. practice was totally possible there and i ending up not needing the “perfect” place.
Good morning everyone. I felt such joy from all the other people in Ireland who said hello to me yesterday! I don't always feel comfortable with fire hydrants but today they came with much more ease than in the past which was a wonderful feeling. I wish you all a joyful day 💛.
they are tricky! Hello from Norfolk in the UK :)
Hello from Nice in France (I LOVE Ireland) Namaste!
Hello from a fellow Irish person living in the UK😀
Hi from Cork 👋
Hello from Monaghan! 🙋🏻♀️☘️🙏
So grateful for Adriene and all of you who showed up. Love you all so much! Take good care! 💞
The hardest part is showing up. The second hardest part is doing table top/spinal balance when your kitten thinks your dangling foot is easy prey.
This class was perfect for my level of energy. I'm having some really moody days and this practice brought me some peace. Thank you Adriene and all the lovely people practicing with me. Day 5 in, see you tomorrow for Day 6!!
Hi everyone, early alarm this morning so I can nourish the mind before meeting friends for breakfast to nourish the body and soul. I loved this mindful practice and the fact that I did it along side 3700 fellow yogies. Have a lovely day, see you on the mat tomorrow 💕
I love it when she says "soften the skin on your face" just as I have scrunched it up with concentration 😂 Happy 6th of January to everyone, wherever you are in the world. Sending lots of happy vibes from Spain xx
that cue about softening the skin on your face was great for me too!!!
Thank you to everyone who practiced with me today. I did get one day behind however I’m not letting it stop me 🙏
I’m a few days behind but it’s okay, they’re always here for us to pick up 💗
I'm about 4 days behind but I'm really trying to make this my evening practice before bed. I'm open to catching up, but that would be a bonus :-D
Running on almost no sleep, due to some scary health news about my 9 yo yesterday. The first thing I thought of when I got up was "I need to get to the mat. Breathing will help." Grateful for this community and these daily offerings from Adriene.
This is the kind of firm foundation that you may well find helpful ad you support your child thru the coming challenges. United by yoga!! I send warm wishes your way.
I am LOVING this more gentle flow week. It is so nice to come home after a day of work and really feel all the tension working out of my back and shoulders with a 20 minute practice
Today’s flow felt like a warm hug today❤ thank you 😊
I started late, but I'm here from Pennsylvania! I've been doing your videos for 2 years now and it has helped me, a 60 something year old grow confidence in my body and hold on to balance and flexibility. I had a bad experience with yoga in my 30's (had an instructor who, on my first day, decided to use me as a "what not to do" example to the rest of the class) and so it's taken me 30 years to get the courage to try yoga again. I thank you for that!
I feel so good, I want to give you all a hug. It feels like you all are my life long friends. Love the connection and practice. I bet the live energy in one room would be fire.
🤗
I'm lovin the squat pose we do in each practice it is so good for my hips, ankles, calves, knees, groin and glutes. I just need to practice keeping my back spine aligned in a good posture and not arching. It also has to be good for pelvic floor muscles. At 53 yrs it really is important this squat pose. I loved your practice. Thank you Adriene from sunny Australia. x
I look forward to it too! Feels so good to squat! 😁 Hi from Canberra!
Representing 50 plus women here,, committing to this practice despite my acute lower back pain! Way to. Glad I am😮finished for today!! Progress not perfection!
Oh this one was delightful! Good to see everyone - is anyone else already anticipating tomorrow?? See you then. IYKYK
I am!
Haha! Did Days 3,4, and 5 in a row today because I was behind and wanted to catch up. Such good movement! Thank you Adriene ❤ This is my
I think 8th year? Of doing this every year and it is always such pleasure 🎉
Heyyy Adriene and my fellow yogies! Loved today's session. It was nice and slow. A much needed movement after 4 hours of Audit class hahaha :p
Feeling grateful
Flow Day 5:01:24✅ done,
😌💫... Wow! 🏵️Represent🏵️
👋🏾😊Hi five All to a great lovely session, it's a perfect short gentle start to the weekend, I feel blessed, in gratitude Adriene...Ty🌷🌷💫. I'm loving this amazing flow series, giving "lots of love in & out" you wholeheartedly share with us all.😊 Wishing you and all here practice a terrific relaxing weekend. Namaste
❤❤❤❤🙏🏾
Every posture was like a dessert for my body. As I was relaxing my body, my mind stopped racing somewhere in the middle of this practice. Thank you Adriene. ❤
Good morning Adriene. Another good session. I’m finding that doing yoga with you early in the morning really sets me up for the day. Thank you. Namaste. xxx
Exactly the same for me
Before starting this journey, I hadn't done Yoga for about 2 months ... even though, I really needed it. I realize now how important this daily practice is important for my mental health. Without fully knowing it, it helped me tremendously for the past 2 years. Thank you for being you and giving us this gift. ❤😊
Decided to do today’s practice before going to bed and it was such a grest decision, today’s flow was very relaxing! Lots of love, everyone! We made it to day five!
All of my animals (two doggos and kitty) joined me for practice today. I can feel that my energy is transmuted during these practices, and I think they can too, because by the end of this session they were all curled and sprawled around me and in blissful sleep. Namaste 🥰
I've never managed to stick with the journey in previous years but this year I'm on the mat every morning as I've finally realised at the age of 61 its time to prioritise my health. After 5 days I'm feeling stronger, calmer, and more flexible. Thank you Adrienne and may you all have a joyful and peaceful weekend xx
And I wish the same to you!! happy Saturday from chilly Vermont.
During the lockdown I got to do Yoga multiple times a week. Now that I am the wage earner in the house and my husband is retired I am working two jobs. Unfortunately I let yoga go as I transitioned into these long work weeks. Lately I have been feeling a bit more frazzled and unfocused, like I did before I started yoga; so back to the mat I am going. Thanks Adriene for creating this 30 day challenge that I could start up and return to whenever I can find a half hour to spare. Looking at many of my peers in their early 60’s, I know yoga is one of the reasons I have so much more energy, focus, physical strength, stability, stamina and good reflexes, than many other people in their early 60’s.
Round two, day 5 is done, February 28th. Feels good to keep flowing. Thanks and lots of love to Adriene and Benji and all practicing❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏
Another day, another lovely practice! Grateful! ❤
Thank you Adriene. I finally found the courage to join you. I’m not sure but moving my body intimidated me.
I fought a cold and worried to miss today practice, but such a lovely and relaxing day! 🌱💚🙏🏼
🙏🏻 was sick so I'm a few days behind but thankful to be back in track! Thank you ❤
FLOW 🌊 | Day 5 | Represent | January 6, 2024 | What a most delicious practice, I didn't want it to end! I love, love, love the idea of inviting my inner being to take the wheel when I step on the mat. To move the way my inner being would move, like someone who truly adores being in my body. This is something I'll take with me to every practice from this day forward, I already had the intention of being present on the mat, but this is taking that presence one step further. To truly connect with my inner being before starting. What an amazing moment you gave us Adriene! 🙏
It is a rainy day, my head hurts but still I showed up thank you for this practice seriously
I spent almost an hour before practice walking around ranting to my empty house about some past experiences that were on my mind, really just venting to myself. And then as soon as I came to the mat I dropped into my breathing and it all melted away! Spent a few extra breaths at the end breathing lots of love in and out to really feel that love all through me and now I feel so calm and soothed, ready to journey through the rest of my day with mindfulness 💕 take care, friends x
I just love the daily end sequence, where Benji does a downward facing dog with you, Adriene. It always makes me want to have a dog one day maybe too 🥰
I love your 30 day series.. it motivates me to do regularly
This session felt extra comfy to me, right what I needed! Yay, day five!
Adriene, thank you. 43 years old and an avid gym rat. Recently my body has begun to feel like a wound up rubber band and I told myself I need to be proactive and get “longer”. I remembered finding your channel years ago and thought I would return to get some work in. As it turns out, 30 days of yoga popped right up! I have been doing it every night before I jump in the shower before bed and not only is my body feeling better but my sleep has vastly improved as well. I appreciate the work you put in so we can feel better. Thanks again 🙏
lets go day five! this practice was wonderful and just what i needed. im not at home today but i still did this practice on a towel on carpeted floor in some stretchy baggy jeans. i just love how accessible this journey is. its started snowing outside halfway through my practice which was a very nice and made this even more peaceful and relaxing. thank you adriene and the fwfg team and everyone else doing this along w me for making all my days brighter. see you all tomorrow 💕
Namaste Adriene and all your followers on this fifth day of your 30 day yoga journey. Its a cold and rainy morning here in Vienna Austria. What a smooth session.
I just seem to have problems with my exhaling. Whenever I'm doing it with you counting I'm running out of breath. Whereas when I'm counting myself it works fine.Thank you very much Adriene and everybody who made it to the floor today. Namaste!❤
It will get easier! Yoga really helped me find out what it meant to breathe deeply, but it took a lot of practice. I wish you a wonderful day full of deep breaths :)
Sending sunshine from the Caribbean
Sending sunshine from the Caribbean
Day five and I’m already feeling so much better. Thank you Adrienne 💛. Have a brilliant day everyone 😊
Was a bit tough for me to show up this morning, I was planning on going to the gym later for a workout and starting to reason with myself “oh I don’t really feel like it this morning, I’ll just do it after the gym” but then I just overrode that and went to the mat before I could reason more. To anyone else pushing through their own resistance, I’m proud of you, keep at it. 💪💎🔥
I sneezed today and my stomach muscles screamed back at me! I had a "yogaless" December so this feels just great to stretch, balance, tone, breath and self care 😍 January rocks xx
A wonderful morning to my yoga family. Great practice. Feeling so free like the waves on the seashore. Thanks so so much Adriene. I just love my virtual yoga family. Have a splendid day. ❤❤❤
It was great although my neck is a little out. I decided to show up and be as I am rather than not show up at all. Thank you for your kind treatment Adriene! ❤❤❤
I may have just completed Day 5 (now day 11) but I'm hear to 'represent' myself to my journey with you Adriene ❤
Shout out to those of us a few days behind! Thanks for showing up 🎉
Oh I'm loving these practices ❤ They just seem absolutely perfect for January after a hectic December 😊 Hope everyone is loving them as much as me 💕
Started this practice without a mat. I was unable to get over the hurdle of getting the mat out. It seemed like a huge task. So I skipped that step and just slid off the couch and put the video on. Ended up pausing to get my mat. A simple, thoughtless task after starting the practice. Just showing up was enough to kick start motivation. Finished the whole thing and ready for tomorrow 😄
Bless you, Adriene! I am grateful to be practicing with all you beautiful people. Hope you enjoy your day!
Wonderful practice today, Adriene! Thank you! 🙏
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Flow Day - 5 was outstanding despite the many distractions during the session. A loved one called me while I was studying and when I said, I'd meet her shortly after I study yoga. She told me to "hurry up." Wow! I was flabbergasted. I said very kindly, I will meet you when I'm done. Another loved one talked to me the entire time I studied. I truly had to embody the theme "Represent" and maintain the character of a Yogi. I exuded patience and love. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤️🦋
Today marks my 3rd year of daily YWA! Since Breath 2021 I have been Finding What Feels Good, and I’ve never looked back! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Adriene, for all that you do ❤
That's amazing!! I hope to continue after this practice 🎉 this post is giving me inspiration 🙌 ❤
Wow three years, that is incredible. I loved „Breath“ so much an keep coming back to it but I always have some longer periods away from the mat, often times after being sick or having too much stress at work (when it would really do me good…) but thanks to youtube and adriene I always find my way back.
5308 yogis together for my practice today. My favourite day so far. That thread the needle felt goooood 💞
Yesterday I just didn't have it in me to start this video, so instead I practiced a cozy little bedtime yoga video. Today, I came back to this journey, but grudgingly. I couldn't focus, I was constantly checking fir how much longer it went on, and I wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep. I stuck with it though, and a day late, I completed this practice. Day 7 of a 100 done.
Cheers to you for pushing through that resistance, well done! 🙌
The cueing for coming in & out of poses has really stepped up a notch,I’m finding myself more ‘in’ the poses,being present & feeling my muscles much more than previously. Enjoyed the breathwork on this one too x
At 55 years old, I started doing “Yoga Flow” with Adriene, which is 2 years old. I had been getting stiff as I get older and just having regular fun was getting difficult. So, tried a few thjngs and then found Yoga with Adriene. I have met with her on my TV for a year now I am now doing the new, 2024, 30 day Flow with her now and love it!!!! Thank you, Adriene! I am now past day 5 and looking forward to 25 more!
Just wanted to say hi, even though I'm five days behind you all in real time. Struggling with a terrible cold and noticing how dark my thoughts can become when my body is ill. Trying hard to think positively and keep the ordinary routines going. Yoga helps. Thanks Adriene.
I try to start every day with a gratitude meditation, followed by gently stretching in preparation for yoga. The whole process is very emotional, especially the gratitude that I can do this at 64, soon to be 65 years old. Thank you, Adriene, this has made such a difference in my life❤
Day 5 completed ✅ Today felt much better than yesterday. I feel kinder to myself and am proud of all that I accomplished today. I hope everyone has a wonderful upcoming week and feels refreshed!
This is my favourite of your series so far - for some reason, the combination of of the asanas has been exactly what I needed every day. Already some of the aches and creakiness acquired I a few lazy weeks are beginning to dissipate. Thank you!
What a lovely practice to wake up to in the morning.
What a inspiring day 5!
It makes me feel good to join this "flow community" with Adrierne and Benji. Love is here, all around. Thank you.
Yes! This is a beautiful community, so good to have you here 🙌
I am so grateful to be doing this journey for the second subsequent year. Last year, I practiced from my room in Germany, and this year from beautiful Wisconsin. I woke up with the sunrise to see snowflakes gently falling. It is the second day of my second semester of college today. I just got back from staying with my family over winter break and the transition feels like a lot all at once, but I feel incredibly lucky to have this grounding practice. The heat definitely ramped up in practice today and yesterday and I have also been weightlifting so my lower body muscles are definitely sore but they also feel strong and connected. I lit a green candle for joy and energy, and a blue candle for peace and rest. If anyone is reading this, I hope you you find peace, joy, and love throughout the rest of your day!
It's January 30th and I'm on Day 5 of my yoga challenge. Feeling so anxious today, procrastinating, so decided to help myself with yoga, not with continuing sweets and caffeine. It was really good practice. I had tears coming several times, and feel much better now. Proud of myself, thank you all here
2 years ago I realized I was pregnant in this 30 day yoga journey. I finally mastered crow pose but the next day couldn’t get through the session because I was so tired! I’m finally back doing this every day. I am a bit late because we had a bad bout of covid around the holidays of course. My daughter loves climbing all over and I can’t wait until she can follow the directions to do it alongside me.
so grateful to be sharing this journey with such a beautiful community of like minded people. Big heartfelt thanks to Adriene ❤
Day 5 🖐! We made it!!😊I loved the practice today! I was and still am a bit soared due to other activities 😅, so it was fantastic having a smooth practice today! Thanks, dear Adriene! See you all tomorrow on the day 6!❤
Glad it was a smooth practice this morning after doing yesterday’s late at night. See you tomorrow!
Flow - Day 5 - Represent
Before the practice started, I was thinking about what „represent“ could mean in the context of ourselves and Yoga. We really move on the mat as we are, each day a different representation of ourselves. Each day a moving mind, a moving body, a moving soul. We are constantly a representation, not just outwards but more so inwards. Yoga does show how we are right at this moment. If I am focused, open or tight and judgmental, lost in how I am supposed to be, how I am supposed to be moving. If I feel strong and capable or vulnerable. If I fall and being kind or frustrated and harsh, unkind to myself. On the mat I really get to meet where I am at, the me off the mat. And I think meeting this representation every day of myself really helps me to be more gentle with a racing mind or more soft with a tight body. It’s just like a date I have with myself, every Yoga practice, in where I get to meet who I am and how I treat myself. And how I can change if I don’t like the representation of the way I am treating myself.
So profound and so beautifully expressed. I love this group. So much wisdom. So much vulnerability. It makes us collectively strong and wise
@@alisonherbert5951 Oh thank you so much. Honestly, Yoga does that to me. It teaches me so so much.
I was feeling a bit sad when I started the practice today. But it always makes me feel a little better and reading comments like this is a marvellous bonus. Thank you for expressing yourself so well and summing up how I feel today as well. Sometimes it’s not easy, but that’s ok because we are showing up and progress takes time. Namaste 🙏🏽
Beautifully said! ❤

Happy Saturday to you all! This practice was a beaut! 😊
The 1st snow fell last night & my view was so calming and peaceful as I laid out my mat. The yoga practice matched my view & the quiet serenity of the snow-covered woods. Namaste ❤
