yoga with adriene anyone 🙋♀️
edit: woah thanks for the likes, adriene really deserves all the love huhu >_
The best
She is literally the reason I get on the mat😂
Just started doing it and I love it🙋🏻♀️
For a couple years now on and off. She's amazing. And I'm certain it improves mental health. Especially when you have someone like Adriene teaching you and telling your to breathe and smile and give yourself a hug.
I’m a Kassandra girl 😊
I've started doing yoga during lockdown.. My favourite pose is shavasana 😭
Bruh
You are literally sleeping.
Haha
Hahaha
G mara
I started doing yoga when the quarantine started as a way of taking care of my body. In those few weeks, I'm no longer having muscle pain caused by stress, and I'm much more flexible.
Me too 💪🏼
Me too - I had pain in my legs from running but since doing yoga things have improved a lot.
Well everytime I am tired I just lay on my bed and try to take a short nap even when during a stressful, hard day. But hey when literally laying on the bed is considered yoga then it's a lazy and efficient way LOL
Same!
I taught yog to my mom dad in lockdown... and they r amazed by it... Now sometimes I skip yog but they never ever skip it... they r loving it to the core... since 3.5 months they r practising yog daily they take break on Sunday.. :) I can see my dad's knee pain vanished and my mom's neck pain is vanished... :) and they thank me for that :P :P :D and I held my head high and show them attitude... :P :D :D Just kidding.. In a playful manner... :)
I started yoga when I was depressed, I started working through my feelings instead of bottling them up, it motivated me to clean my spaces and keep my mind clear, and it made me more attentive to my health. It made me feel not only less anxious but also productive, which was a big problem when I was depressed. I think that because I was able to do it every morning as a part of a routine I proved to myself I was able to do other things too. At the end of the day yoga didn't solely help me out of my depression, but it taught me things that helped me help myself.
That's awesome I've a very similar experience I used to have a terrible panic attacks and anxiety yoga really helped not stopping them but keep them manageable
@@ayaaly2866 Yoga really helps to deal with stress
thanks for sharing .. lemme start tmrrw , lol
I have never related to a comment more. This is exactly what happened to me too! You are strong! Keep it up!!
It happens by step...first is stretching (yoga) , then prayama ( breathing ) then meditation ( which your might have missed ).....
"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self."
-- The Bhagavad Gita
Yeah that's true
Cause I am Indian
That reminds me - A TED ED video on Bhagvad Gita is long overdue!
Nice
It is?🙂 can you please explain the spiritual side of it, if you want😌. You don’t have too tho🙂
@@majackslelo827 yup, yoga helps you to create a positive aura, thus you'd not only help yourself but others around you too. Waking up at 6 AM and doing Yoga and meditation is the best start of the day!!😊
I don't know about Yoga's psychological effects but the narrator's voice always calms me down.
Do you use a certain app or a video in particular?
gulden yoga with Adrienne is a good place to start! Sarah Beth is also good- she gives really good breathing directions
Please try simplest few time .. if you feels good then continue else just keep it on bay .. that will be Dharma, Just listen to soul.
Ankush Sharma pooping rn oh goodness please
Me too
Being a Indian, listening this makes me proud to my culture...
too bad Bikhram and his "yoga methods" tarnished the reputation..
Some foreigners don't see Indians like others see, so they may find your comment boastful
cute
you should be!
Btw, Feeling proud is against Yogic philosophy because that feeling is coming from attachment.
The word yoga means union ..... Union of sprit to the divine, I was in depression for 4 months and tried a failed attempt on suicide after I lost my grandfather if it wasn't for yoga I don't know what would have happened to me...... I owe my new life to Yoga
@@bishshoy science didn't help me to get out of depression, science didn't Stop me from trying to take my own life
Only few people understand why it’s a connection to divine
I don't know
@@bishshoy It is a spiritual practice, even if it has many physical parts in its structure. You cannot say that the spirituality of Yoga is a problem if Yoga itself is spiritual.
That would be the same as saying that philosophy, sociology or arts are problematic because they often are unquantifiable.
@@bishshoy Any connection that anyone has to the divine _can_ be called unscientific. That's not the point. And if you look at the right sources (or have a good teacher) you will find that the point of yoga is to take a break from daily problems, breathe, and remember how to smile. So far, I have not come across anything in yoga that suggests a strict ideology, or any form of dogma.
Thank you for not westernizing the concept. It is a Hindu practice!
Yes from indian
Why are you thanking to westernize it ? They messed it up
@@Germanywithtripti101 they've reduced yoga into "stretching practice" in the west. Smh. Yoga is incomplete for me without shlokas and the spirituality in mind.
Yoga is simply based on some perennial physical truths with superstitious baggage.
We should give the West as much credit for all the fundamentals of modern medicine as we give India for yoga.
Reading all these comments about how much yoga and meditation helped them survived diseases whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally, it really touches my heart. Such brave and beautiful souls I'm so proud for all of us.
Yesssss
But you have to ask: what has yoga done for India? Does it seem like one of the happiest countries in the world to you?
@@ziwer1 majority people in india don't practice yoga anymore, india is looking upto the west and has huge no of left liberal idiots.
@@ziwer1 ancient india was the richest and happiest civilization because 90% people practiced yoga 🕉
@@ziwer1 because of British colonization, missionary conversion activities, islamic invasion and leftist ideology, India has lost majority of its wealth and culture.
I was introduced to yoga 10 years ago after coming out of coma with an infected leg due to T1 diabetes.
Doctors recommended it as a way of lowering my blood sugar as well as gently exercising my leg to get back to normal. I started 10 years ago, now it's a part of my life, just like eating and sleeping. Can't live without it. The benefits are endless both on the mind and body. Thank you for this video. Your articulation is perfect.
I'm glad to hear you're doing better! I have T1D too, and just started doing yoga. If you'd like, can you tell me more about what it did to your blood sugars, and if it changed the amount of insulin that you use nowadays? Thank you!
@@anurb4240 Hi !!
When I started taking insulin, i was taking round 22units. 10 years later, I'm taking 11units ( lantus )
I'm not sure it's mainly because of yoga but lifestyle in general. Exercising regularly, eating homemade food ( since you can control what you put in there ) and avoiding stress of course !
All the best to you ^^ .. to us !!

In India they would teach us YOGA at school. It would help us to be more relaxed and flexible. Proud to be Indian. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah you should be honestly I am not indian, I am Afro Caribbean and there are honestly beautiful things within your culture
@@aahanajasmine7649 we know 🙏 but don't do to much yoga
Anything to much is not good for health
@@Noone-gz8li okay
aw , that's cool to hear ! i didn't know where it had originated.. but i guess i could've guessed from the names.. wait , i did know that , it's just been a while
@@TeKeyaKrystal its one of the teachings of hinduism 😊 . The first yogi is Lord Shiva, also known as aadiyogi!
I lost my job, my side business, my apartment and had to move cities. Pulled my back in the move. But then a silver lining, I started getting into yoga and I've found I enjoy it immensely. Now I'm combining it with meditation which I did before and I feel things I never thought I could before. I find personally it helps me mentally stay positive as my entire life falls apart around me and into the burning tire fire that is 2020.
Lmaooo I’ve had a similar experience. Your comment made me laugh. Thank u!
How are you now?
@@cundan0484 Better, still unemployed but my back is stronger and doesn't hurt 24/7. Also the housing market went crazy and I sold my home for a good chunk of change. So things seem to be heading upwards.
@@TheGreatMoonFrog Its nice to hear that things getting better. Sooner or later the virus and the current state of the world must change. I guess we could only wait for that time patiently.
Hope you are doing well and things coming together. Thats what yoga and meditation did for me. Added the Super "B" complex (stress formula), and you may even start feeling like your old self.
One more thing, Yoga is divided into 8 parts:
1. Yam
2. Niyam
3. Asaan
4. Pranayam
5. Prtyahar
6. Dharana
7. Dhyan
And last stage of Yoga, 8. Samadhi
It is to be noted that today's Yoga is mostly understood as Asan.
that's it
@@vikasmiraje3451 You can search Astang Yoga in google for more details.
Yes, those are the 8 limbs of yoga. Patanjali has written on these parts. Yoga is much more than poses on a mat or breathing. It's a union of mind and body. It allows one to become more aware of the present moment in and outside the body and mind!
@@vikasmiraje3451 Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras".
ya they just mention it as body stretching....
I have been doing Yoga with Adriene's Home 30 day yoga practice and it has been life changing. I am only on day 16. So thankful that CZcams gives us access to online practice, and that we can practice together from around the world!
Did you get taller after yoga?
Me too! I just found Adriene and am on day 8. I am so happy I found her. It has helped me both mentally and physically. ❤
Thanks for sharing this information.🙏🏽🌻💕
I started yoga in 2017 when I wanted to get off my antidepressants and my pain medicine. I have chronic pain and a personality disorder so my mental state greatly affects how my physical body feels and works. Yoga, including the spiritual aspects of breathwork and meditation, has helped me to come into connection between my mind, body, and soul. I appreciate this beautiful practice and truly believe that it is one of the most accessible forms of movement for so many different people
Can you tell me how you got started? I have a personality disorder and am trying to get off antidepressants too
@@someone-oj4dk I talked to my therapist and she recommended an app that was customizable to my level as a complete beginner (it's called DownDog. I still use it sometimes). I started by doing 15mins of yoga every other day and doing a 5min breathing meditation when my 15min was done. Listening to my body and learning to calm my mind helped a lot. I wanted to do things on my own so using the app helped as well
@@steff2437 thanks a lot. I wasn't actually expecting a reply so it means a lot
That’s wonderful! Thanks for sharing. :)

i've only started on my fitness and weightloss journey so i'm still not very strong, but yoga has been amazing for my back pain. It is also now my go to post workout exercise
Any recommendations on yoga routines for begginers? I've been working out for a couple of years now and I want to get into yoga, I just don't know where to start. I'm looking at routines that allow me to build the habit
@@gekkoromano8327 check out Yoga with Adriene. You'll find literally all types of yoga there. She has one of the best yoga videos out here on youtube!
Hey I also have back pain can you please suggest me some of the yoga's
Yoga Does focuses on the spine a lot, cause spine is the most important part of our body. For strength and functioning as well. You can't even sir straight or lift anything heavy with a weak spine, all the nerves in our body are connected to the brain via spinal cord, except for face, cause its closer to the brain
what are the specific poses that you're doing for back pain
Let’s appreciate the art that TED-Ed put in it’s videos once again
it makes me wanna stretch every part or my body lol
Did you get taller after yoga?
I lost it when that dude transcended his existence to being a stem cell.
Well we are made of cells
Same lol
PLS LMAOOOO
😆
I think it was a pretty good transition
i lost my job n a relationship in march 2020 right before the virus swept over everything. i finally had the time to commit myself to yoga like i'd always wanted and i found myself again. i got stronger and reconnected with my intuition all at once. there was a point i was doing at least 4-5 hrs of yoga a week! i never intended to lose weight but i even lost a couple pant sizes too. it changed my life, i think it saved me sometimes. ive been trying to get all my friends n family to join me ever since.
So sad. West has destroyed yoga totally. It was gateway to align with god which is now just limited to exercises. They made it secular yoga . Hope u r healthy
Props to actually show the map of ancient India.
That too a correct one! 😄😄
yup!
They did not include Bangladesh and Assam!😑😑😑
@@adityanawani8134 These areas were never a part of ancient India. Bangladesh somewhat became of India under the Muslim rule. As far as Assam is concerned, the Mughals only ever reached Guwahati and the rest of NE was incorporated as a part of British India.
@@divyaakashdutta4038 mughals didn't reach there that doesn't mean it wasn't a part of ancient India. That region was always a part of dharmik and Indic culture. Stop buying into leftist narrative of no concept of India before British came along.
Who started deep breathing when it came to the lung part
LOL! Meeee 😆🙃
Yeah 😂
Oh yes!
Hahahahhahahahahahahhaah meeee
omg me
This year has been very challenging for me, mainly emotionally. I joined a yoga class in October to distract myself from my thoughts and lift my spirits. Initially, I thought I'll see how I would like it and go once a week. But now I have fallen in love so much, I'll go twice a week! My sleep has improved, and in stressful situations, I am starting to breathe deeply and focus on my breath, just like in a yoga class. I really see "yoga effect" on my mind.
That's dope, and the great thing that it's just the beginning! (:
Did you get taller after yoga?
At age 60, yoga is just a daily part of my morning routine. I dont even think about it anymore, meaning it’s same as me brushing my teeth in the morning or having my morning coffee. Not only do I love the idea of waking up my body each morning this way, but there’s both a physical as well as a mental aspect to yoga. I still find it very tough to get into certain positions, but it really doesn’t matter to me. As long as I show up each AM, I know I’m doing right by my body.
I started to do yoga after I was diagnosed with a chronic lung disease. I find yoga to be a good exercise. It’s good for my airway clearance too. There is no pulmonary rehabilitation in my living area, and I use yoga as a substitute. I hope people find yoga to be helpful and beneficial. Namaste.
@Made Pramana
Oh I am so sorry to hear that.
Has yoga made any Improvement to it?
Pranav Sudheer Hi! Thanks. I think yoga helps me to build my endurance and reduce the shortness of breath that I feel. Yoga has helped me mentally as well.
@@MadePramana wow! Truely remarkable 👍
Can you suggest any video or channel of yoga that's good and easy to follow?
Thank you in advance🌼
Does yoga help in regaining lung function after quit smoking .
As a former football player with a multitude of injuries and my only experience with exercise to be power lifting i feel about a million times better than I ever have since doing yoga 5 years ago. From constant knee, shoulder, and back pain to hand stands and touching my toes. Depression and anxiety to a calm mind. Yoga works!
Yet science can't proove it.
How are you doing now?
@@sanpat2220 took a break for awhile and started hurting again. Now back in it. On day 61 of 18 challenge. Feeling great.
@@Maolana_ModiG lol. What?
Feeling proud that Yoga ("yuj") is one of the biggest gifts of India to the world.
I am a 14year old Indian, & I'm really flexible because we are taught yoga in our school during P.T. periods ever since we were toddlers. "Meditation" is also a part of yoga & it really helps in improving your concentration & memory & decreases boredom & laziness.
But my favourite posture is still "sava-asana"(sleeping pose) though. 😁😁

I was someone who suffered from climate anxiety and depression, because of the sheer amount of environmental destruction happening around me, my activism only increased my stress. But soon after I found yoga, these feelings went away, I'm still very much an environmental activist, but I'm much calmer and relaxed than I used to be before.
Im a fitness addict and I tried all types of exercise , from various martial arts to bodybuilding . However, the older I get , the more I appreciate and like yoga . Flexibility becomes #1 importance after 30 or 40 :)
sir are you talking about mental and spiritual flexibility if yes then u understood what's yoga is . if dont then i think u are one of them eho thinks yoga is only stretching

Try Yoga with Adriene she is amazing
@Edward Cullen Thank you and take care! :)
Yoga has helped me through out life since I was 22 to relief stress, I have been suffering anxiety since I was young. I’m thankful we have it.
I would say that yoga is more like a state of mind. I remember my first times many years ago,the feeling of patience I had after yoga was so scary and terrifying. Through years, when I decided to create myself and realised that we are more than just bodies, I came back to yoga again. And finally realized that that feeling of patience was “being here and now”- when you don’t live in your past or future. You are here and now and it is so good 🧡 and now, after each yoga class I am so thankful to the people, who created it and brought to me. It is a gift to the world 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did you get taller after yoga?
Idk, maybe, I didn`t measure) but def more flexible and
more resilient. But I got taller couple years ago via sport and stretching , cos I had back problems or was slouching a lot@@efraimshilongo
Did you get taller@@anita.111
i was taking medication for chronic acidity/heartburn for almost 10 years. by just doing yoga for 30 mins daily for 9 months (i rate my yoga skill as intermediate) i am totally cured and not even single dosage of PAN D taken since 2019. i am flexible and agile. Most important thing about yoga for me is I learned is to love my body....
Developing a consistent yoga practice is one of the best things I ever did for myself.
🙂👍🏻
Yoga changed my life. Thank you Covid lockdowns. Had nothing to do , nothing day in day out. One day I decided to try yoga and it changed my perspective on life. Helped me quit drinking ( 3 years sober now !). I have trained to be a yoga teacher and completed my training last year . I love sharing my healing journey with my clients and encouraging people to enjoy their life more, become more mindful , become fitter and healthier and also help them to let go of things that do not serve them. Namaste
Wow incredible
We do yoga everyday in India. There is a yoga guru that comes on TV every morning during lock down.
Also we pronounce yoga as yog.
The voice of narrator is very relaxing.
Not every indian follows it
You're talking about baba ram Dev , aren't you 😉😂
yoga helped me control and survive during my depression and anxiety period. it was key. i am very grateful for it
I started doing yoga couple of months before which comprises of Surya Namaskar, Meditation for 8-10 mins and breathing exercises and now I could really feel the calmness and peacefulness🕊️ in my brain 🧠
Yoga is really helpful in controlling yourself and focus on one thing at a time ❤️ that leads to better productivity and smart work 👍🏻
That sounds like a really good balanced practice to get into a habit with 😊

@@jelenazoric9300 much love ❤❤❤
Omg yessss!!!!
Psychologically as for me, i feel this comunication between my mind and body, i start to feel my body, i feel more alive. And as you breathe deeply you let go the tension of everydays stress that caughts up in muscles. I can be deeply in some situation, overthinking it again and again. But once i do these excercises-this shaky state of mind just goes away. You know like being distracted and thorn apart into small little peaces, flowing in negative energy, than you take like 30 minutes on mat, and all shakiness is gone, you feel centered and all peaces stick together. I looove it. Best stress reliever.
yoga is such a miracle..🧘🏻♀️
yoga not only changes your body...
It changes your mind, your attitude and your mood...😍
Yoga has been such a blessing in my life. Grateful for this practice and all it has to offer.
Good very nice 😀😊👍🔥❤️
Yoga is a form of worshipping for me. My body and mind is a temple and Yoga is an act of worship. It's pure and divine.
Thanks for the video. It motivated me more to do Yoga and make people aware of it. Namastey!!
How come no one ever talks about Boho Beautiful yoga? High quality videos and gorgeous scenery for the majority of them. I skip around to others to mix it up but she is by far my absolute favorite!!!
I love how this goes back to history :) I'm not Indian but I truly respect this.

I find it helps me with my anxiety as I'm focusing on something rather than my thoughts and at the end I'm really relaxed so my stress goes away 😊
I started doing yoga two years ago, and I am amazed by the results. It is a good exercise for the muscles and good practice for the soul and discovering your potential. I noticed that starting the day with yoga influences how the day starts and sets you in a good mood.
I started practicing Ashtanga yoga years ago. I found a yogi who studied with K. Pattabhi Jois because I wanted to learn proper yoga not the commercialized yoga most studios offer. What an amazing journey it’s been. The benefits physically, mentally and emotionally are priceless.

I did a 20 minute introduction to yoga today for the first time ever. It definitely felt great and I'm definitely going to continue and go deeper into it.
Consistency is key ❤❤❤ much love and patience 💛😊
Yoga with Bird ❤️ and Yoga with Adrienne are my go to teaching videos on CZcams but I watch a variety from every culture. Yoga really helps alleviate my back pain and helps my flexibility. It's a good place to start for anyone looking to get into exercise & self care after years of neglect. ❤️ Be well and please take care 🙂
I started doing yoga September 2020 its been 3 months and lemme tell you my flexibility, anxiety, lower back pain, and sleeping schedule improved. Thanks to “Yoga with Adriene” I learned Vinyasa quickly.
I introduced myself to yoga when I was 16 years old. I have been doing yoga on and off since that time I am now 60 ..
And yes I am definitely reaping the benefits more and more as I get older..
It should be part of the school curriculum.. as should ancient wisdom..
have been practicing yoga for 2 months and I definitely realized its benefits in my mental and physical health. Highly recommend.
Like many others here I began taking meditation and yoga seriously during the quarantine. As I practiced every day I got better at controlling my mind, delving deeper into my consciousness unlocked some kind of blissful state of calm. What I observed was an astonishing decrease in my anxiety and depression, it was miraculous. I can now control negative thoughts with ease and bring myself back into the present moment. I can't encourage you enough to give it a try and stick with it!!

@@Tanner-gc9im okay.
I am currently at a mental health hospital. Just got diagnosed with bipolar II, histrionic traits and anxiety non other specified. I am currently doing yoga 2x a week. Today was a horrendous day full of breakdowns, rage, anxiety and pain. Nothing was helping until the yoga class. Its truly amazing. I will continue doing it after my release for sure
Stay safe sweet lady , wishing u a full recover

One of the toughest challenge faced with mankind is understanding its own thoughts. And Yoga could be one of the handful of keys to this conquest!Another amazing and information-packed video from Ted-Ed! You made staying at home a time for recollection and self-reconstruction😊Thank you👌🏽
Wow didn't expected this image of India at 0:18 ....
TedEd is truly awesome you guys keep every single detail..🤩🤩
Even after 2 years of practicing it's awesome to be reminded of how amazing yoga is😍thank you
This video perfectly encapsulates the essence of yoga. I'm so glad to see yoga expanding throughout the world. I was a student of yoga myself and I loved it so much that I decided to build a career around yoga. I got my yoga instructor certificate from VaYU in USA.
Love the video. Keep up the good work.
Good luck to you.. I do yoga everyday and now can’t live without it…
If you do yoga only to exercise and relax.. it's just another exercise. Yoga is a way to seek, realise and become one the very essence of existence.🙏
yoga saved my life, or at least made it worth living again. It has drastically changed my physical and mental state in such a short period of time that its my personal miracle. I went from weak, lazy, angry, entitled, addicted and depressed with no self esteem to healthy, strong, motivated, grateful, in recovery and I am actually really happy again. I just stumbled on it drunk one night while abusing alexa since i had driven away all humans. I asked what are you even good for? Well she showed me a yoga class to help sleep and i tried it and slept, even though I had insomnia at the time. It was enough to convince me to keep going and the farther I go and learn more, well it turned my life around! Namaste and may everyone find their path to inner peace and joy!
💛
Just finished a good session of yoga. The best thing one can do for their body and mind is study and practice yog. :)
@Brownskikuca Garlic Bread hahahahaha
Yoga and strength training have both helped me SO MUCH with my chronic pain throughout my body.
The animation is amazing, the transitions, just wow.
I practice yoga for 2 years and i really feel good and i find so many benefits of doing it everyday 😊
You cannot always control what goes on around you, but you sure can always control what goes on inside. And that is Yoga
I can honestly say yoga made me a better husband and dad towards my wife and kids. I'm not as prone to anger, and my anxiety is much more controllable then it used too. It has healed a lot of my aches and pains, and much more. It really does help.
Started doing Yoga during lockdown and because I'd developed bursitis in my shoulder and lifting weights agitated it. Found the Breathe and Flow channel and now I do it every day. My strength and flexibility are improving but I still go to the gym a couple times a week for strength training. I will say that my lower back pain, ankle pain and shoulder pain seem to respond really well to daily stretching and building strength gently in those areas. I love it and it's a huge part of my daily life now.
Isha hatha yoga changed my life!! I don't need any other exercise 😍😍

I've start doing yoga and decided to persist in doing this . being vegan and doing yoga at the same time is awesome .
goodLuck😊
I started yoga after falling into depression back in 2018. It’s on and off from then til early 2023. As of this summer, I have been practicing vinyasa yoga consistently and have decided to make it daily routine.
Since practicing, I am grateful for a couple things:
- Flexibility
- Strength Training
- Body Tone
- A Calm Spirit and Mind
- Reassurance in My Being
- Ease Going to Sleep
- Build Up in Environmental and Situational Awareness
- Control in My Emotions
And much more.
If I didn’t start my journey in this practice I fear I would have been stuck where I was. But thanks to yoga, I’ve been able to move on and feel more powerful.
Yoga is really helpful in regulation of weight, atleast it was the case for me.
I was slightly overweight in my 1st year of college , so i started practicing Yoga with my mother , who is strict practioner of Yoga and pranayam , for about 9-10 months and it was amazing. The results were extremely positive.
My hairfall reduced. My weight is perfect for my height now.( I started fasting once a week too) Lastly , I feel less anxious.
So yea Yoga literally works. 😊
I'm doing yoga for last one year it's really life changing
Today I have learnt kapalabhati in yoga. They say it has many benifits like for lungs, kidneys and muscles etc
Yes, it's very beneficial - I have been doing it since 7 years(with some gaps in between); I got minor abs without ever doing crunches, apart from other health benefits.
Once I had a constant pain in my shoulder. I figured it was there for life and I had to deal with it. Enter yoga which I started taking just to see what it was about. One day I noticed my shoulder pain was gone. Several months later I had the shoulder x rayd to see why it sometimes hurt. Found out it was arthritis. I asked the dr would it be ok to continue yoga. Her response was definitely! were it not for yoga it would probably be worse.
I looked up the history of yoga and there in I discovered Hinduism. Long story short yoga led me to spiritual and physical liberation and I will be eternally grateful to Patanjli
hatha yoga is very, very difficult to do, yet when i used to do it decades ago, i felt better than i have ever felt in my life
Thanks for giving a perfectly clear definition of yoga right at the beginning of the video. It's critical that all practitioners understand that that is the point of continuous movement with the breath as the priority. The effect is thought stops. If you do this well, you will eventually see chakras as the end of your workout which is evidence you have reached an advanced level of 'yoking the mind'. These visions only come to the fore when your mind has been silenced. Namaste 🙏

Yoga is the only prakriya which brings physical and mental health together for well being. It is not an exercise, infact it is more than that for your well being
It's literally a way to merge with pure consciousness itself which is beyond all of the illusionary reality
I don’t need proof on the outside. My subjective experience is enough to convince me. All anyone needs to do is try and and see how it benefits them if they are curious.
And curious, open observation is the best approach and will yield the best results
I feel like ted ed’s art style is timeless and beautiful

Im doin yoga for 3 months now
Yoga rly helped me in both ways physicall and mental
It feels like i found treasure
Yoga has helped me to cure thyroid, it has helped my mom to cure depression and my friend to cure PCOD.
It has made me happier , mentally and emotionally stronger and calmer.
For thyroid there is a acupressure point in thumb. Press it for daily 5 minutes thee times. One month is enough to cure it
This international yoga day India should be proud of Yoga...
It's just brilliant to see that my ancestors have been doing this since the birth of civilization, its often misunderstood but in Indiic traditions faith and Science are very closely related
More yoga means better well-being, better mindset, and a healthier body, mind, and soul Loving this.💖
I'm delighted to say that there is no pronunciation mistake Here .
But please try to add subtitles
THANK YOU 😊😊😊
They don't need to, because you can do that yourself (in multiple languages), by tapping on the video and selecting the 3 dots in the right-hand corner. Then select 'Captions' and select the language you want the subtitles to be in.
I recently took up yoga to relieve the tension in my neck and stop the headaches that occasionally come from it. Let’s hope it’s fruitful ☺️
It irks me to go through the comments where most people are all about Yoga with Adrienne or whoever they idealise. Guys, 'Yog' is a way of life. It is not just a bunch of postures and stretching as many people preach. It has various aspects to it. The food and beverages one consumes, the timing of asana performance, self reflection during mediation and many more. No doubt, the physical factor contributes highly to healing and relaxation but just limiting it to those external phenomena, in my opinion, debases the highly valued, ancient Indian way of life. 🙏
I like the way the narrator tells this story. It makes me feel like I was immersed in my inner tranquillity when practicing yoga.😊
The background music was so yogic and meditative
