    I often hear from people that they cannot do yoga because they are not flexible enough.
    But being flexible is really the art of being open and available.
    Open and available to what is current and present.
    It’s an inside job, this… space… making.
    We can start with the body but remember what the great yoga guides have shown us…
    The body is a metaphor.
    And I am no expert, but I suspect… there is a lot to balance and uncover.
    This week we meditate on flexibility as conscious openness.
    Booyah. Enjoy!

      Yes! When people say they are too inflexible to practice yoga, that is like saying they are too dirty for a shower! Just do it and you will feel better, and get more in tune with the sensations (and the shapes). Thanks again for a great practice, Adriene!

    I have cerebral palsy, which is important because my muscles stretch out a lot less and get tighter a lot quicker than an able-bodied person's. My hip flexors are like steel cables. My knees turn in when I sit. I am completely, 100% not flexible. And I still do yoga five times a week because it eases my symptoms and allows me to function optimally. So to people who say they can't do yoga because they're "not flexible enough", you don't get flexible overnight, and you don't even need to BE particularly flexible. All you have to do is be who you are and have an open mind.

    I’ve used this video around once a week for around 4 years now and even though I know the sequence well enough to practice independently, Adrienne’s guidance makes it SO much more effective and relaxing. Can’t imagine life without you Yogi Adrienne! ✨🙏✨I do swap in some parts like the knee bend because I feel conscious that my knees are sensitive so I lower my whole leg up and down instead of bending as this is an exercise for osteoporosis which I’m trying to prevent. Adrienne does have a practice for knee issues I know but I prefer to adapt the other routines so that I can practice more widely. This sequence is nicely restorative for someone like me who works fulltime as a gardener in her 40s. Thank you, Adrienne for what you bring to yoga - making it accessible like it should be xxx

    Since I was 10 years old in dance class, I'd wanted to be flexible like the other girls, but was always just frustrated. Now fast forward 13 years- I have been practicing with a few of your flexibility and deep stretch videos almost every day for only 6 weeks since lockdown began, and I am already seeing soo much progress in my flexibility and fitness. I have never been this flexible in my life, I never thought it was possible. And this is only the beginning. Thank you so much for teaching me control, space, and patience for my body that I have never, ever had, and never thought I would. Thank you for shining your light to the world, and teaching us to love ourselves. Much love.

    Thank you for this video. I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy and struggling with fatigue as well as stiffness and aches and pains from being bedridden for days at a time. This practice is perfect - gentle enough to be manageable, but still hitting every part of the body and providing release and realignment. I try to do it every morning when I'm feeling well enough and even just 16 minutes makes such a huge difference.

      Hatha yoga was intended to be a way to prepare the body for sitting meditation and not to firm up your butt or make your back more supple. Not to say that it can't do those things. It can enhance physical health in many ways but it's not just about body flexibility.

Not to mention your words of encouragement just always seem to resonate each day… synchronicities that just confirm what I already know- that I’ve found my yoga home, tribe; whatever u wanna call it!

I want you to know that after every session I do (and I have done it every day since the beginning of this year, wow, how foundational- which I have desperately needed to take the next step in my own life's mission) that I am so filled with gratitude for your heart, grounded wisdom and sincerity, that I send some of that love and healing I breathe in your way, praying for your protection, grounding and well-being. Your heart-centered, rooted, life's work, of course, creates great and protective causes, but I also know that a public life makes it hard to be grounded in the self. I so admire your daily practice of humility and will continue to pray for the protected and poignant unfolding of your own life's journey. Namaste.
