- From a neurological perspective, creating a strong body and positive mindset happens one neural connection at a time.
This is a beautiful opportunity in our journey to embrace and celebrate the fact that transformation and healing require some time, training, and practice.
Consistency and compassion are key.
Today’s practice is designed to help you embrace your process and journey by slowing down and learning how to rest.
Wear something extra comfy if you can. Grab a blanket, maybe a pillow too.
*If you don’t have any of these things handy and you are just squeezing this in, no worries. The important thing is that you show up for practice.

How are you doing at regularly carving out time to rest?
I am doing well with taking time, esp week days. Morning is best time for me ❤
Absolutely loving it. This year’s 30 days is inspiring me to accept the challenge and joy of a consistent daily practice. it is my goal to continue past January and into my high school graduation year! thank you for everything you do Adriene 🙏 namaste ✨
Quite well! I've been getting 8-9 hours of sleep since it's winter break, and it honestly feels like I've been resting for a whole month because there's no academic pressure
That is what I found out doing the practice today, that I'm not carving time to rest, to really meditate and stand still. Thankful for this today. ♥️
Really well. I've always set time to rest,usually in the evenings which works best for me. Taking time for myself to do hobbies which for me is my resting time.
This is my fourth January 30 day journey, I started in 2016 and I have never watched anyone else's yoga. I lost my Dad, my dog and my grandfather in the span of three months in 16 and a friend told me to watch Adrienne. You saved my life and helped me process all my grief. I am forever grateful for you every day!
Oh wow. Well done x
🙏💕
It's also my 4th! It's the day I started yoga consistently and here I am 4 years later! It's such an incredible journey.
This was so incredible! I feel like I was swimming in water! Thank you for an amazing practice and thanks again for the shavasna ending! 🌻
Isn’t she a big help when you need solace? I have not missed a day in April 2020.
When someone you don't personally says, "I love you" and you know it's true, that is profound. I struggled today with this practice because at times I had to confront how alone I often feel and with no clear direction as to what direction I next want to take in the area of my career, as well as other areas of my life. Wrapping myself in my blanket, I felt safe and comforted. I will come back for a second time to this practice later today. But I am so grateful that I am saying yes to this practice. And the next step for me to take today in this practice is to pray, to acknowledge that in fact I am safe, that I am secure, and the Universe and Spirit has my back and always has. So yeah, this practice of simply resting has been incredibly confronting. But I know that I can handle it. Thank you Adrienne for today's practice.
I hope you felt the love coming to you from everyone on their mats at the same time.
Much love, peace and joy to you! We are in this together. 🙏🏻
Beautiful comment. I relate so much to what you said and will keep you in my thoughts and meditations ❤️
so nicely put. and you are definitely not alone
Your comment resonates with me, on multiple levels. Today's practice is one I will save to a separate playlist, as I feel that from time to time I could use some help in this area. I try to stay in second gear all day, it's sometimes not possible. Peace from Northern California ☮
I had these same sentiments when I felt her "I love you." The way she makes us feel seen is irreplaceable.
Going through the "move" 30-days for a second time! The first time around I must have been too zenned out to notice Benji around the 27 minute mark spend a couple of minutes trying to perfectly fluff up and position his blanket with his paws and nose... Hilarious, best thing I've seen in a while.😄 thanks Adriene and Benji!!
That was so sweet 🥺
it was so cute :3
Just seen him ❤
It is always a relief to see Adriene wearing a cardigan. Restful practice incoming!
😂😂
"nowhere to go, nothing to do" hit me like a TRAIN. As someone who has been practicing mindfulness since I was 17, I still find my mind frantic when I have too many things on my to do list and frantic when I have nothing on my to do list. That is becoming my new mantra because I feel like it just opened me up to the fact that it really is a blessing to just be. Be in your own essence without anything to check off the list. Thank you Adriene!
I feel the same too!!
Thank you! I really needed that!
Same! You already took a moment to surrender to the practice, no reason to think about work, school or whatever would blow up your mind with thoughts normally. It’s amazing to experience nothing but that moment ❤️
"Despite what is moving around me, I am focused on what is moving within me."
~Adriene
Absolutly love it!
Came to leave a comment about how I started crying after the meditation - to find I wasn’t the only one who needed it. Thank You, Adrienne, you and these sessions are the light in our busy lives.
I used to practise yoga in my 20’s, now I’m 43, very much blessed with love of my family, husband, three children, yet, this is the first time ever I cried after meditation, after Adriene told us “I love you, take care”.
Her calming, true energy is Universe itself
Hi to my fellow yogis from Flow! You are amazing .. let's keep at this. Proud of you for showing up and loving yourself xx
This was so nice! I am a few days behind, and after this lovely practice reading this made my day. Thank you!
A huge CONGRATS to everyone who showed up today!! A little truly goes a long way ♥🙏
Thank you!!! Congratulations to you too! Let's keep going!
Thank you xoxo
Thank you 😊 💓. Lots of love to you ❤
“Day 8, Don’t hate, meditate” (throwback quote for long time YWAers out there). Perfect for a rainy foggy Sunday. Thanks again Adriene! ☔️ 💕 🧘♀️
just curius, didn't you left out a " be great" or am i constantly mixing that up. in my head it's always
"Day 8, Don't hate, be great, meditate" anyways thank you for the reminder. have a wonderfull day :)
@@ogshoot oh I thought day 8, don’t hate, meditate, feel great haha
@@hannekekooymans could potentially be true :D but there is a be great, am i right?
@@ogshoot yes somewhere there is 😂
Day 8, don't hate, meditate, feel great. Yuss I remember this too, so good
Did anyone else feel like today's practice was a gift?
My realization after this Day 8 practice:
"give yourself a hug when you needed one.
your mind is there for your heart as your heart is there for your mind.
your soul is there for your body as your body is there for your soul.
we can always seek within for support.
we can always depend on and return to our breathing."
I am truly grateful for today. for Adriene, for my body, and for this very opportunity 💖
A great realisation and lovely put. Namaste🙏
“This is too easy” I thought to myself. “It can’t be doing anything at all” My brain was telling me…I need to get back to my HIIT and weight training….but then something happened in my head (probably because of all the mind stillness and breathing exercises we were doing) I began to notice I was connecting more with my body, stretching out all those kinks and being kinder to myself by benefiting from the care Yoga was bringing to my joints…you Adrian are a very sneaky wizard you are…I first doubted your gentle approach to fitness but now I see the value of it for my overall well-being…🥰🧘🏼♀️🧘🧘🏻♂️🕊✌🏾
Couldn’t agree more….feeling like I need to always push push….this was just amazing….will head back to this one for some repair and relax time!
I had this very same reaction!
I thought maybe this would be too little for today, but decided to trust. . . a theme I'm trying to hold through this year.
This is just how I felt this morning but now I feel so good and pleased that I let myself totally relax . Adriene is just the best, totally amazing.
Day eight! Don't hate! Meditate! Feel great! 🤓🤍
😍30 days of yoga
appreciate!
I had to get up for a blanket, and when I looked at the screen Benji was got up to stretch and 'make his bed' (27:19) so precious.
I love yoga with Adriene SO MUCH ! Thank you, thank you, thank you !
Got a little teary when you said “everyday I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.” You are just the loveliest. I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you again for this amazing plan. This session was just what I needed today.
I felt so emotional doing this practice - that’s the challenge of slowing down and making space to feel all the feelings we normally rush to avoid or numb by being busy. Thank you.
I felt it too. Namaste! ♥️
Try to accept your feelings instead of fighting against them. Tell yourself it's okay to feel whatever you are feeling. Everything is all right. Pushing back against those feelings creates resistance and makes them stronger. You are feeling things for a good reason. There is a message you need to hear. Accept. Listen. Acknowledge. Allow them to be what they are. This is the path to calm and quiet. 💜💜💜 Namaste, from one practicer to another.
@@sarasmr4278 thanks for your comment. It is inspiring. Namaste 🙏
Notice that pain and allow yourself to let go of those feelings. You are deserving of rest, you are worthy of peace ☮️
I had a hard day (nothing extreme, just one of those lousy days) and I knew rolling out my mat that I would cry during practice. And I did. And it was much needed and it helped. Hugs to all who also need one.
Got emotional during this practice as my thoughts took me to the words 'I forgive you' and I have not felt such a release like this in a long long time... It means the world. Thank you, Adriene!
I had the exact same experience - very powerful and much needed x
I cried during this practice, this is a beautiful session Adriene I extend my deepest gratitude to you. Thank you
This is my second time doing day 8 😂 really need it these days x
I just finished it and want to do it again this evening. Totally get it.
Haha 100%
So happy to be here with everyone. It’s very moving seeing all the comments x
Just got my covid booster yesterday, so this rest practice couldn't be more timely!
❤️
I did too!!
I'm getting mine in about half an hour, hopefully I'll be up for all the poses tomorrow!
Lucky! I had to do the core one after my booster 😭
"I allow myself to be" is such a powerful sentence especially in fetal position. As a severely traumatized adult who was in fact never allowed to simply be I almost started crying... in a good way though
Ditto
After finishing today’s session I was thinking about Benji - how sweet he is, gazing through the window and being so calm. Than, without thinking, I started singing out loud: Ooh, Benji, I love your way, everyday eeeey ey.
I do my long runs on Sundays and was worried about today’s practice. But when I saw the title “rest,” my worry melted away. To sit still and focus on my breathing and do a check in on my body helped. I could feel the tightness in my back and the soreness in my leg muscles. I can’t always be “on”, and as an introvert, today’s practice rejuvenated me. Thank you, Adriene. Namaste.
Sometimes yoga is an ab workout, sometimes it’s crying on the floor.
Day 8 landing on the 1st Sunday of the year is the best thing about 2022 so far. Thanks Adriene I love you back
I fell asleep and woke myself up by snoring! A lovely break from teaching teenagers online! Thank you Adriene.
Tears of joy came out and I laughed out loud when I saw myself disappearing, reuniting with the one existence in everything, the stillness. Thank you so much Adrienne for this practice. Lots of love from India.
Day 8 and, after years of trying, I'm officially further into a 30 Days Challenge than I have ever been. Thank goodness for an amazing accountability buddy and for all of the lovely comments below these videos that are keeping me inspired!
Congratulations on your accomplishment! 🥰 happy day 8
Go Hannah! You're going to be so happy you stuck to it. Namaste!
You are awesome! Keep going!
Always make it to day 8 feel great meditate!
A week in already. Everyone should be proud of themselves!💜
I tried to do this last year, and the year before, and gave up after only a couple of days. I feel like this year is different. Now, I look forward to this every day.
@@carolschulien6168 same for me!! have never been able to stay disciplined for the 30 day practice, but this year I got it!! so do you 🤍
During the second half of the video, tears started flowing over my cheeks. Turns out this practice was exactly what i needed, without me even realizing it. Thank you Adriene, for your kind words and the safe space you create.
Hearing "soften your heart" brought tears to my eyes. It made me realize my heart was tired and needed this rest. Thank you Adriene for another amazing practice. Namaste!
Readying your comment brought tears to MY eyes, thank you for sharing. Thank you for being you 🙏🏾
This restorative practice was transformative and a true gift. Sometimes one can forget the meaningful embrace that they can receive from themselves. That hug to oneself was so impactful and emotional for me. It’s easy to look to others, I think, but sometimes when it happens so that we wrap our arms around ourselves and feel the loving warmth of our own, that we truly realise that we are all we need ♥️
Beautiful 🙏🏻
Yes. So agree. I really needed that hug from myself today!
You’ve expressed so beautifully exactly how I felt and what I was thinking during this session. It was so nourishing and made me remember the deep wisdom and healing that’s within our own body if we just take the time to be still enough to hear it. Take care all xx
Adriene you are a gift from god. You will never know how much you've changed my life.
Wow, so powerful! Her impact is really transformative.
she really is someone to be grateful for :)
In the fourth decade of my life, I have finally come to love myself. It's in moments like these when a wave of self love washes over me and it's almost overwhelming. I love you Adriene and Benji! Thank you for guiding me through this journey of self discovery and self-love over the last few years!
i can’t believe how connected to my body i feel. i can feel this living, breathing thing loving and working for me. it feels so good to take care of it.
Believe it or not, this was the hardest practice for me so far. My mind wanders so easily and I can't sit perfectly still for more than a few minutes. I've always struggled to meditate for anymore than 5 minutes. I knew my body needed this restorative session but I dreaded seeing that the video was essentially going to be 30 minutes of being still. I fidgeted throughout the entire second half of the video and my mind wandered like crazy but I managed to stay on the mat the whole time even when I was getting bored and antsy!
Omg same, Kathryn! I feel you and always find these slow practices very challenging mentally! But that might tell us we truly need to give our mind a rest more often? Anyway, high five to us for showing up 💜🙏🏼
it's normal. When your catch your mind wondering, just be gentle with yourself and go back to your breathing. And if after one minute, your mind wonders again, no biggie. Just bring it back to center gently. Your body is telling you to slow down..you can't stop all the thoughs, it's humanely impossible, but you can choose, over time what you want. Like a big traffic of thoughts, and one day you will be able to just watch it from an outsider and be more calm. One thing that help me a lot was the app Headspace. At first, i was doing 5mins and it was so long and I HATED it.. now I can do easily 30mins and i'm more calm and zen then ever even in my day to day life. If you can't meditate more than 5mins.. I would go dig inside myself
I’m going to do this one again at night time. Really hard for me to do this one mid day too.
Adriene - I can't begin to tell you how you have made a difference in my life! I discovered you in the fall fall of 2020 - on the heels of ending a 15 year long distance relationship at age 58 and coming to terms with some health issues. I moved through your various 30 day programs and found myself again - my strength, my flexibility, my ability to be still and listen to my inner voice guiding me. You helped heal me on so many levels. My heart is now healed, my body is now healed of the previous issues and my spirit is finding its wings again. I join this 30 day yoga journey - thankful for your grounding inspiration and creative leadership.
(Sweet Benjy on his blanket! 🥰)
I'm 52 years old, and have struggled with my weight and body image for almost as long as I can remember. But in the past few days, I've been hearing a much more positive voice. One that tells me I'm perfect the way I am. Thank you for this beautiful practice! ❤️
My heart melted and I cried when you said "Thank you for joining me"
Thank you for a wonderful episode day8👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The “I love you” at the end of the video went straight to my heart! Like another comment said, Adriene’s empathy shines through. Thank you for sharing your lights and love ❤️
I felt it, too. Her, "I love you" was unexpected by me, but so sincere. Thank you, Adriene, for extending your love to so many.
This practice was so beautiful. I almost started crying at the end. I’ve never felt this at peace with myself and the world and my heart felt so light and full. I entered a surreal state of mind. Thank you so much Adriene.
it was so beautiful..i felt so in love and content at the end....it felt like the comfiest comfort ive had in a while
I didnt end up coming in for day 7 yesterday, but when I saw today’s title I felt like my body deserved a little leniency. So i did Nourish this morning, and am doing Rest before getting to bed. I love this for me tbh
Adriene,
Thank you. As a person who benefits from the opportunity to practice stillness often and daily, I was moved by this particular practice. Upon transitioning into today's Savasana, the descent of my right leg struck a chord of intense gratitude to be able to move. It is a blessing (to be able to move). I pray for your perfect health, wealth, love and self-expression.
Thank you for allowing yourself to serve community in such a powerful way.
Hugs, health and harmony,
Is
I fell asleep towards the end. Woke up like a minute before it actually ended. I feel GREAT ! Thank Adriene and The Yogi community!
Same here! I kept shifting in and out of sleep but it wasn't in that stressful way it usually is... it was like adriene was guiding us in and out. I actually felt refreshed after instead of like I had a "failed nap" as I call them
You woke up a blessed time! It's almost as if you knew...?
Me too!!!
While I was doing this practice, the sun came out shine on my face. Have a wonderful day everybody
That is a beautiful sign for your day! Thank you and I hope your day shines brightly as well 💙💙
same for me!! 🌞
Same! Right as she was saying golden I realized the light was golden!!!
This was an emotional practice today, I couldn’t stop the tears as I shifted into a space of grace and love for my physical body which has been letting me down so much as I struggle with infertility and now, COVID.
There is much beauty to be found in these sessions and the emotions they stir up. Blessings to you Adriene, Benji and the YWA community 🙏
I really am bad at resting, and I’m a few days behind so I did this practice today. But as soon as we opened our arms wide I could feel the tears streaming down my face. But I really needed that meditation. I really do feel more calm and centered and less anxious to start my day, so thank you!
started the day extremely agitated and sad, expected to cry a lot on the mat. instead i was kind of numb, but i leaned in and feel calm and focussed again. i will say this every day, thank you from my heart, not only to you adriene but all the other kind souls that show up every day and are so supportive and loving🥀
Out of the eight days this was most challenging for me, staying mentally on the mat not letting my thoughts run of to a million things, staying still. But I made it! We made it! 8/8 you guys 👍🏻 lots of love from Germany
This was the most challenging for me too. I actually was not able to stay with the stillness for more than 5 minutes because it started to feel like torture, but I did not leave the mat. I just stayed on and did some light movement instead. I am happy that Adriene did preface this video by saying it would be challenging for some :)
Very interesting to read this folks. Stillness is so difficult for some. For me being still and present is so easy and a place I could actually dwell in.. Forever 😊. We are all so different.. Its often said those who struggle with being still & fidgiting alot... Are the very ones who need to rest, relax breathe and be present the most. Being still does not mean you're not being productive, quite the contrary.. You are benefitting every part of your being on a physical, mental and spiritual level. I wish you love and peace 🙏🧘♀️
Same here - hard to slow down
I love when you say "I look forward to see you tomorrow". You do not know me, but as someone struggling with depression, I often feel like people do not care about me.
Thank you for all practises that you've done so far. I am truly enjoying it. Sending love
Today’s practice was a gift. I’m ever grateful for you, Adriene. And for this whole community. I cried at the end knowing I wasn’t alone.
Adriene was so right when she said you don’t want to miss this one. Possibly the most relaxing of her videos!
How everything comes together, you upload the right practices at the right time, that's the magic! You know, Adriene, you are a symphony of life! I can't get your words out of my head from previous years on Day 8 that: 'Day 8, don't hate, meditate, feel great', hehe, Adriene, your brilliant words are simply enchanting and memorably magical, for me personally! I cannot express my gratitude to you because it's endless! I just humbly say a heartfelt 'Thank you', Adriene & Benji! 🌠♡🌠
The perfect before bed yoga. It's going in my "Evening Yoga" file for sure. Many thanks....
I used today's practice to introduce my very busy 10yo boy. It was a challenge for him as he is a typical 10yo. He stuck it out and did all the breathing in time with you. It was so lovely and I thanked him for sharing this practice with me tonight. Thank you for such a gentle, loving session.
Moved back home after 15 months living at my sister's house as she nursed me through cancer. Unpacked, exhausted, remembered I had to do youga-and this is the reward I got! Perfect timing!
"YOUga" - never thought of yoga that way, but it really is! Thanks for opening that channel for me. And I'll add: YouGO, gal! Staying with Adriene even after these 30 days will bring so much faster healing for you. When my leg was broken, requiring surgery several years ago and I wasn't allowed to put weight on the leg for THREE months, wheelchair yoga got me through it in a far healthier, wholistic way than if I had just sat there. And I was 65 then - my doctor was amazed! Keep up the good work, Caroline!
Congratulations doesn’t feel like the right word but I can’t find another that feels better so, congratulations on beating cancer and good job on making sure you made time to nourish your spirit even after a long tiring day! Sending you lots of love and light and wishes for continued healing and also big hugs to your sister 💗
I'm 100% gonna come back to this when I'm stressed. I started tense and now I'm so much more level-headed and relaxed. You and your team and this channel is a true gift to everyone lucky enough to know it. 💞
The perfect practice to end the day with- happy day 8 everyone, what a joy it is to be a part of this community 💛
You can hear Adriene’s heartbeat quite clearly in this video! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s incredible that 10,000 people did this practice at the same time as I did! It makes me feel so connected to the world, thank you Adrienne for bringing millions of us together 🙏🏻😇
As I am beginning day 8, I feel a shift. Just like many of you, I’ve been going through life to get things done fast and correct. The most efficient way. Always putting myself last. But with these practices, I am beginning to slow it down. I’ve notice me moving more slowly. More mindfully. With more intentions. Not putting so much emphasis on doing these poses “the correct way” but focusing on how feel both mentally and physically. I am excited about this journey and I thank you Adriene…for helping me move into another chapter of my life that I am excited to go through (:
And I feel such a sense of community reading through these comments. I am so grateful to be going through these practices with everyone else and I can’t wait to see what tomorrow has to bring.
I did my own variation in the beginning, involving a dog sitting in my lap. Highly recommend, it definitely added some extra love to the practice! 🥰
So wonderful !! Day 38 and I really need to repeat the 30 day. Mental, physical, and spiritual wellness is so necessary to get through a Chicago winter. Namaste to all !
I had my cat between my legs when lying down..🐆
Doing this journey through February instead of Jan and I've been doing yoga on and off for years now almost exclusively from Adriene - including previous 30 day yoga journeys - but I've never cried on the mat before today. Made up for it with a solid 20 mins of tears in this practice, something just hit differently! Clearly needed - thank you.
Glad to see this theme for today. On my way to run the Walt Disney World marathon. This will be a good way to conclude. ❤️ And a nap 😂
I choose to do today's practice in the evening by candle light with my pillow and weighted blanket across my legs. It was the most relaxing practice I have ever had. So glad be on this adventure with all of you. Day 8 was just what I needed. Thank you.
I do it at sunset time, it's such a magical time
sounds like pure magic
Omg I wanna try that! Will have to revisit this vid ^^
Wow! Rest was so perfect this evening. What an amazing teacher and human being Adriene is. Blessings and love to all.
Im sending this to everyone in my life because the whole time I kept thinking how much every human needs this. So thankful for this Move series
God knows how much this was needed today. What a gentle practice and just perfect for a Sunday. I came late to the practice so will do it gain but was able to practice the second half in bed, it was so restful. This is going into my favourites to do in the evenings. Thank you so much Adriene. Wishing you all a fab Sunday, Marie-Louise ❤️
I’m having a very anxious day, i found i couldn’t focus on my work (I’m a student) and struggled to concentrate on texts and classes. Luckily, i decided to do Day 8 and it gave me comfort. Before this practice i was stressed,on the run and unsatisfied. Now my mind is clear. My body feels like home. And i am not at my best, but my mood improved and that has never happened before. It usually takes a lot of time and effort to get out of a depressive episode for me. Today, this rest sequence literally saved me. Saved my day. Thank you for showing me again what great potential lies in being still and for guiding us through ✨💖
Lovely resting day of meditation. I have always had a bit of trouble with meditating but, I have been starting to do more a few times a week and it is growing on me. I have always been a person who has trouble sitting still so it was a challenge. This was really good for me today. Thank you and I am ready for day 9 tomorrow. I am about 6 days behind but I will finish the 30 days. Namaste!
To anyone struggling - remember we will get better
what a relaxing practice! once I was on my back, my cat joined me for the remainder of the practice. I laid in Shavasana with Lucy on my belly while I breathed. what a lovely way to start my day. thank you :)
My cat joined me too ... only it was in the form of licking my cheek (he's a groomer) until I sat up at the end. :D
I haven’t been that relaxed in a long, long time. I’m not quite sure where my mind went, it was just still and quiet. Thank you, Adriene. 💚
The description on this video is just so beautiful and perfectly encapsulates what I've been attempting to tell myself for a while. Thank you, Adriene. You make a big difference in so many people's lives.
I feel sooo rested after doing today's practice! It is like if I had 10 hours of sleep, pure magic!
That's such a great way to put it💖💖
Over 7k people did this beautiful practice with me! Thank you Adriene for all that you do
thank you for the fact of you. I have had two tumultuous years but hade always found my way back to this channel and have found peace, grounding and balance. Thank you for doing this.
This challenge so far has been one of the most restorative and comforting things I've done in a long time. I hope to continue to make yoga a part of my life after this challenge is over. Thank you Adriene!!
I find giving myself a hug or touching a hand to my belly can be challenging. Thoughts of self-criticism arise. YWA reminds me that most importantly I need to love myself exactly as I am today.
Keep watching and observing what challenges you. And the further away your mind gets from those criticisms the more you will be able to implement greater and greater self-love day by day touch by touch!
This is my first January 30 day journey with Adriene and I am so grateful to be here learning and moving! Thank you xo
I’m doing this practice again because it was so relaxing. I may even do this practice anytime I ever have a hard time falling asleep. It’s beautiful and so relaxing.
I shed a couple tears at the end. It was profound that so much peace and love could come from inside me, just through staying still and being with myself. Thank you Adriene
I'm in the camp of people who do the videos one day later in the morning. But this looks like the perfect sunday evening practice to close out the weekend! "Nourish" will wait for me on monday morning and I am excited to do "Rest" tomorrow with all of you!
If you go to her site, you can pay what you feel and get the videos as and when through your account. I paid a few dollars - but I’ve been doing yoga with Adriene for years for free, so don’t grudge it.
"Practice just being" really stuck out to me to day. With all the discourse around productivity (especially around the new year) it’s easy to just feel stagnant. After today’s video was over I just layer there and did !Nothing! :) felt so good.
What a blessing. Took a week off for surgery. So glad I came back to this. And this was the first time the breathing exercise really worked for me! Thank you, universe! 🤗❤️🥰
This practise was just what I needed today. It's great to calm down from the stress you have created for yourself. Wishing you all the best. Namaste.
Whoa! A body scan with a few adjectives...🙂 ; nice..."your sweet heart," " your amazing upper arms." So nice Adriene! Yes this is all such an important part of yoga practice! Thank you! Yes - the body, mind connection...the brain...love you.🙏❤
Stopping by to share my appreciation for this beautiful practice. Spending a few minutes in the comment section after these practices has really been something else. Almost serves as confirmation of the magic we all feel while practicing together. Namaste friends
I love the 30 day yoga journey, especially the rest and stretch day(s)! We often practice busyness, even franticness and thus struggle with stillness, so this is much needed. Thank you for your service. ✌🏾❤ to all 😁🇬🇧
Thank you Adriene for being such a force for good in this world
This one has been the hardest so far, it's not easy to turn my brain off or even down.
Not easy for anyone I believe. Have a lovely Sunday
For me personally I have found that listening and observing my breath over my thoughts has helped me a lot! In addition to that EFT which is also known as tapping changed my relationship with my mind. May want to check out the Tapping summit you're a wonderful family of people with beautiful intentions just like Adrenne!
Day 8 always ends up being my favorite. Looking forward to being still with you all for a moment.
I have Covid right now and have been going back and doing all of the Day 8s of the different 30-day series (because that is about all my body can handle right now) so I can still do some yoga while sick, and I am SO thankful for these practices. I never could've imagined they would mean so much to me
How wise of you to take care of you in such a gentle way now that you feel more fragile. Although we all are. It always makes me cry when Adriene says rest your sweet heart, because I realise that my heart is indeed sweet and it needs some extra care. Be well soon, I send you strong healing vibes, best I can ♥ bless you 🙏
Wrapped in my blanket lying in Shavasana I felt an amazing sense of love and calm. Thank you Adriene for reminding us of the gift of rest.
Adriene, i am glad I took the hardest step to come . i was in fever, and feeling much better now. Thank you.
I lost myself in this practice today. This was truly the most relaxed I have ever been. Thank you.
What a gift, love you all, we can do this. 💕 Thank you Adriene 🙏
That was so beautiful. I started crying in the meditation at the end, I don't know why but it felt so cleansing. I really felt a swelling of love and compassion. Thank you Adriene
