      Yoga With Adriene yesterday I searched for a yoga for upper back as I have been feeling pain there for the past few weeks for the first time in my life. So I got back on the mat (after a gap) & did your two old routines. Today this beauty arrived in my inbox. How perfect! I’ve just done it & my back & my spirit are thanking me. I loved that final forward stretch with the twisted arms it was divine. Thank you so much Adriene - I really needed this on many levels ❤️ X

    Hello Adrienne, Thankfully, I want to share with you that my daughter (22years old ) and I (58 years old) have been doing Yoga with you, since pandemia started in Mexico by the middle of March 2020. We started with your 30 day yoga videos, the first time we finished the sequence of the complete 30 days including Saturdays and Sundays, we felt so successful and grateful to you ( you will never know how much yo have helped to our physical and mental health.
    We live in Cuernavaca , Morelos, Mexico. After the third month of your 30 days videos, we started to pick a different video for each day, according our necessities as you always say “ listening to the needs of our bodies” , for lower back, for upper back, to relax, to sleep, etc . We do yoga with you every day, now we are doing it from Monday to Friday but if one of us is in pain or in need we do it even on Saturday or Sunday. What you have done putting your videos at no cost and available to everybody no matter where we are. That is the way we found you and you have really reached to us. We love you Adrienne. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXISTING, AND DO WHAT YOU DO. YOU ARE AWSOME. We admire you so much. We sent you our very best wIshes for whatever you need. THANK YOU SOOO SOOOOO MUCH. From Mexico with love.

      I think that you need to release your tight hips. Lizard pose, straddle, pigeon poses (lying, sitting, standing), frog, hero pose, happy baby pose, butterfly, reclined butterfly, half butterfly poses all will be perfect for those who spend a great amount of time sitting at a desk + I noticed it’s always good to do these ones at the end of day, as our hips store lots of tension after any difficult day.

I’ve forgotten how much dedication and thought has gone into these older practices, and I’m thrilled to be repeating them. They really target the specific areas the title says. Upper back is now feeling loose and strong at the same time! Much love to my fellow yogis doing the February calendar! ❤ X

    After this practice I've been saying "wow!" all day. I have been dealing with chronic back pain (typically behind one of my shoulderblades) for more than 2.5 years now, and I've done loads of physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, (You name it I've probably tried it) to deal with this pain. At this point in my life it is usually barely noticeable, but I still have my good days and bad days.
    My back was giving me a lot of grief this morning... I felt like there was a big knot behind my shoulder blade and my first thought was "oh no, not again..." I decided to try this video to help stretch it out, and just... wow. This is a powerful practice for sure. I had to be gentle and slow with myself, listening to my body, and I noticed that many of these poses targeted the exact muscles I have issues with. It was kind of painful at some points in the practice, but with Adriene's help I just breathed through the muscles and asked them to please relax. I am thankful that Adriene constantly reminded me to relax my shoulders, as it is a habit of mine to shrug them up and tense them.
    I am just so amazed right now because immediately after finishing the practice, my pain dialed down from about a 6/10 to a 2/10. Hours later, it is still feeling much better. Pain is still present but only barely noticeable now. I just had to write this because I have had some relief from my physical therapy exercises, but I have NEVER had such a significant improvement from just 23 minutes of practice. I really felt my heart chakra open up, and I have learned through my healing journey that the key to healing my back pain is keeping my heart chakra open. I think that is part of what was so beneficial about this practice, was that it targeted both physical and spiritual roots of upper back pain. Wow, I am so excited to use this practice whenever my back is giving me a hard time. Thank you so much for this GIFT. I actually have been thinking since this practice that MAYBE with daily yoga, I might someday be pain-free... That might be a bit much to hope for, but I know with certainty now that yoga can make a MAJOR difference in helping me manage chronic pain. THANK YOU.

I've had hypermobile joints my whole life and chronic shoulder, neck, and upper back pain due to shoulder joint issues (you ever get the tendon snapping against the joint under your shoulder blade?) and holy shit that last stretch with the arm bind is genuinely life changing. My teres muscle is always spasming and this ACTUALLY stretched it. And you know if you engage a muscle in a stretch for long enough you get release from the spasms. Amazing.

    This video is superb medicine for a tight shouldered man, who spends his life pushing, pulling and generally having to strain the upper body within his daily work. I also sometimes feel that the shoulders are like armour we wear to combat (wrongfully) the stresses and strains of life. My sincere thanks for the gift of Yoga and the wonderful way in which Adriene reveals its treasures to us. There doesn't seem to be any one who comes close to her.

    i’ve realized in this practice, that i don’t feel it in my upper back or traps like adriene said when doing the “threading the needle” pose. i always feel it in my low back and hips more 🤔 maybe because of the wide knees, but it kind of engaged that curiosity; how can i feel it in my upper back body? or, maybe i need it more in the other places? the joy of yoga, it never ends!

      Felt the same too. Maybe because the muscles in my legs/hips are extra tight and I'm not that flexible. I've noticed though that when I put my arm through and under my sholder in that pose that I put my hand in an angle that went more towards my legs but Adriene puts it more in a straight direction so her hands are closer to her head. (I have no idea if I've explained it in an understandable way, so if not then sorry) I've corrected and then I've felt something in my upper back too... but it was still my hips that felt the strech more.. xD

    I know am beginning to sound like a broken record but can you blame me. Adriene you truly are Godsend. I only do home workouts so naturally it may take a while to achieve all the muscle definition as the person going to the gym and lifting heavy. My goal in changing to a healthy lifestyle was to be strong, healthy, active and happy. I have achieved strength and endurance mostly through YOGA. I incorporate all I learn from you in my daily life: during my strength workouts - how to breath, endurance, at work...how do I sit, walk...as a mother...chores around the house..am healthy and so happy to be alive and what's more important is that I have learnt to appreciate myself and those around me. I loved today's YOGA class too. Thanks to you lady. Keep it up. Blessings. Love from Germany. 😘

Feeling like I’m finally starting to be my own yogi and learning to listen to my body more. So grateful for today’s practice and this community. Thank you Adriene for all your gifts. 🙏🏻

Before bed last night I got through half of this video, and I woke up with 50% of the pain and reduced ringing. I may have even gotten 7 whole hours of sleep, which is much more than I’ve been getting recently. The thread the needle with forward arm extension really felt sooo good I did more this morning.

    Admire💝 - February 2024
    I’ve never formally followed these monthly calendars before (apart from the January ones) but I’ve decided I’m going to start following them every other day with my others practices in between. Throughout FLOW, not only was I able to reconnect to my inner being and get closer to myself, but also, as during every 30 day journey of yore, to this beautiful wider community of yogis who are so supportive and loving. One of my resolutions/aims for this year is to live in a more purposeful way that serves me and to listen more intently to what my soul is asking for in my day to day life. That could be anything from watching films or tv series that I actually want to watch rather than what I think I should watch, and the same with books, to implementing acts of self-service and care into my daily routine: basically just living in a more intentional way. In reconnecting to my spirit during FLOW, I came to realise actually how much more supported I feel practicing alongside the yoga with Adriene community, and particularly alongside Adriene and Benji, than with any other teacher or group of people. So, in alignment with my resolution for the year, I’ve decided instead of only occasionally practicing with Adriene and you lovely bunch and putting more of my energy and time into other classes that I feel less inclined towards, I’m going to serve myself and continue on my regular practice over here at YWA. It’s a no brainier really and I don’t know why I haven’t thought to do so before. I always leave January with this community feeling so cosmically aligned and in touch with my inner being, surrounded by glowing, positive energy that why would I not want to carry that with me throughout the rest of my year?! I don’t know why it’s taken me 4 years to realise this but I’m here now and I’m excited to continue sharing my practice with this wonderful community🤗❤.
    Today was a wonderful practice that allowed me to open up my mind and body to the deep admiration I have for myself and make space for more love and respect, recognising the strength it’s taken for me to get where I am today and am continuing to go. I remembered all of my cues from FLOW, looking deeply inside myself with the respect of a love one and without any judgement or negativity. I spoke kindly to myself and enjoyed spending time with me as I tended to my soul, letting the light in. It was like taking myself on a date! And what a bloomin’ good date I was too🥰. A second one is on the cards for sure! Namaste all - it’s nice to be continuing along this path of self love with you all🙏💖 xx
