I just completed Day 30, but I wanted to circle back around the Day 1 to offer a testimonial to those of you who are just starting out. I'm the last guy to the toga party-- I mean yoga party. I'm thoroughly middle-aged and congenitally stiff as a dry twig. Thirty days ago, I was nursing a chronic back injury and experiencing a lot of pain from what appeared to be a pinched nerve. Today, not only am I stronger and more flexible, but my back and nerve problems are totally under control. The 30 Day Challenge is a bit like an epic poem. Following its long arc has been a beautiful and moving experience. Thank you.
Nyabi It's been another month, and I continue my daily yoga routine with great results. What I like about Adriene's approach is that she builds a practice in such a way that you can push yourself without breaking anything. Good luck!
***** Hope you have stuck with the 30 day challenge, but if you got sidetracked, just jump back on the train. I'm still a newbie, but I really find my daily practice the most enjoyable part of the day. Good luck!
secondcousincurly thanks for the encouragement. I just had a baby and was in a car accidentt after day 1 i del amazing already.
***** has it helped...i have sciatica and am looking to start this
Nyabi please can you let me know which stretches you did which you found on youtube :)
Those of you who are starting today. Follow through with it. Maybe you will miss a couple of days. Maybe you will finish the challenge in 45 days instead of 30. But just go through with it. :) We are all in this together. We will work together! There something very powerful about taking just 30 minutes out for yourself and your well being.
I hear you.

Thanks to your comment I followed through! It took me 60 days to finish and would probably have given up after 5 if I hadn't read your comment!
Are we supposed to repeat the same positions/stretches for 30 days. Sorry if I am asking a dumb question as the video title says DAY 1
@@TheKumaran82 Nope, this is day one out of thirty. You can find the rest of the days on her channel or by searching '30 Day Yoga Challenge' in the CZcams search bar and clicking on the playlist :)
starting this today because i need to improve my life mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. i have healed from a lot of traumas and abuse, learned how to manage my depression and anxiety, but i am still struggling to move forward for some reason. i am so afraid of starting new things. so afraid of failure. but i’m tired of being paralyzed by fear. it has controlled my life forever and i want to try and i want fail. i want to struggle with new hobbies and get frustrated and improve with consistency and dedication. no one will read this but i am really just posting this for myself and anyone else who is scared of starting. yoga is something i have been intrigued by for years and i am committing to these 30 days. i have never been consistent but i am changing that habit now.
You are courageous to talk about your challenges. I need to begin this program due to flexibility issues (old lady). It's nice to know there are 'real' people like you here.
WE ARE TOGETHER IN THIS :) LET'S GO 🌸💛
You're not alone. I feel you and relate to this a lot. We're in this together, trying, failing, learning, falling, getting up, expanding and growing. I've also just started this. I hope your 30 day journey went well and if it wasn't 'perfect' I hope you found some grace and compassion for yourself 🤍🤗
I hope your 30 days went well. ♥️ Hopefully you can thank your fear for the input and concern but reassure it that you’ll try new things and be fine. Best of everything to you!
Lying hater
This has significantly improved my mental and physical health. By doing yoga once a day, I've been able to decrease my use of antidepressants. Thank you so much.
Hey
That’s amazing to hear ❤️
Did you ever help someone else do yoga
If you’re just starting out, I hope this helps. Three years ago, I started the 30 Days...and quit after 8 days. During Covid, I decided to try again and it was just what the doctor ordered. I felt improvements by day 5 and soon found myself in life-giving rhythm. This has been a God-send. I’m in a time of big transition (resigned as pastor, my mom died, launching a coaching business, America in turmoil, etc) but starting each day with Adriene has brought renewal. I feel replenished. I finished the 30 days yesterday and I’m back to start again today. So...take it easy. Don’t worry about perfection. Just prioritize the time, show up, and be present. You’ll get results in body and soul. Peace! :D
Just wanted to say you are amazing for making changes in your life like this. I just completed home so this is my next challenge. So worth it!
This was such an encouraging comment! I am starting the 30 Days tomorrow on July 1st, and after reading your comment I'm much less nervous than I was. Thank you! I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. I wish you hope and a bit of luck during this time.
I’m also starting tomorrow, I am so motivated reading your comment.
Thanks for the comment Steve, fellow day 8 quitter and new beginner. Condolences on your loss as well as best wishes for what sounds like an exciting and promising future.
What a good review. That is just what I am hoping for. Thanks I am stating day one today.
I just started this as part of my recovery from depression. It is a good start. Thank you so much!
I have good days and bad days. This really helps me on bad days though. Even if I only do a few minutes, it is a step in the right direction. Thank you.

I'm battling panic disorders, and this is something I'll give a try too...
Uh, it's horrible. I'm slowly recovering and have decided to do some yoga to fill up my time. With recovering from depression, stress from school, and writing, I'm excited to start yoga :) Best of luck to you and everyone!
9/24/2023 Day 1. I had no idea how tight and out of shape I've become at 50. This is a little hard for me. 😢 please keep me in your thoughts. I do need this. Thank you for this series. It's truly a gift.
How are you doing? I was going to start tomorrow and know I am very out of shape.
Stay with it, you've got this!
I'm 61 years old & over the last 2 years have just let myself go due to being the caretaker of an adult daughter with mental illness & being the sole provider of her 2 grandchildren. Real stress, real life. I just finished Day 1 & already feel like a new person with new hope. That's amazing! I'm glistening 😅. Thank you Adriene for being so kind & gentle throughout it. I actually could do way more than I thought! I'm committed now & can't wait to see the difference in my health & attitude towards life. No where to go but up! ❤❤❤
That's amazing❤. You're amazing❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts - I am in a similar space. I'm 59 years old and over the last 3 years have let myself go due to my mother passing unexpectedly and me moving across the country (to Maine) to settle the complicated estate (still not settled). My mothers alcoholic partner was and is still in the home. I have done YWA Yearly 30 Day challenges and I went back to this 30 days of Yoga (vs 24 FLOW) Challenge as I chose to be fully aware and accepting of where I am at today. Thank you, Adriene for being here for us over the years at all different phases of this wonderful, sometimes complicated life!
day 1: 19 million views
day 30: 864k views
Don’t give up!

Quarentena !!!!
It's like youtube and youtuber are helping a lot AND converting some new people to yoga
Of course, as with anything else. Initial enthusiasm is the easiest part :)
Gamingwit kay vlogs they are saying that 19 million people watched the Day 1, but only 834k people watched Day 30 (because they quit before day 30)
Just completed day one. Not going to lie I said a couple curse words and got very frustrated that I wasn't able to do several of the positions or whole them for very long, as I am an obese woman. However, after reading through some of the comments made below, I jumped back in and gave it my all. I want to get healthy. I want to do better and I want to be better. I'm hoping this yoga challenge will help me.

update from Sara c???
We’re all proud of you for starting somewhere! Yoga will not only help you physically, but it will help you emotionally as well! I hope you stuck with it!
Sarah c im proud of you, i understand how hard it can be im young and not overweight and just having a lot of pain and i cried multiple times but just keep moving forward. You're stronger then you think!
just finished day 1 and i’m feeling rejuvenated and warm. posting this to keep myself accountable! everybody who is participating alongside me we got this!!
Don't give up 😊
Started Day 1 today! 19 July 2023. If anyone else is doing it too, go you! Yay! I think Day 1 is well suited to someone whose regular yoga practice lapsed decades ago but remembers (more or less) the basics. I write from the POV of someone who is a bit uncoordinated and confuses left and right :-)
Who else is doing this for Covid 2020 isolation?
My wife and I are on Day 4 of Isolation Yoga!
Isolation yoga here too. Helps with the stress and worries about the unknown of this thing. I just finished the 30 day challenge yesterday and I am starting over. Day 1 easier second time around!
I was just looking for options during this isolation and it seems as good a time as any to do a 30 day yoga challenge. I was also trying to find a way for my 5 yo to start the day with me since I am basically homeschooling during this process. Lol!
ohh yeah))
I hate this shit
I don't see why she has so many dislikes, I think she is starting off gently ,just what us beginners need! TY Adriene
Maybe some people think it might be too intensive. Probably people that tried it never did any sports of physical activity. The thing is starting any physical activiy requires a lot of patience and hard work even though one is realxed and stretching. It´s important that you are capable to bare frustration. I couldn´t even stretch yesterday when i begun with the classes but i believe i will start doing it so with more practice. People dont give up so easily!!! ;)
i can also see if it's too slow. Ive taken a relaxing yoga and power yoga class. Those who want a 'work out' would probably not like this and be annoyed that youtube recommended her video. For those looking for a beginner's video that is taking it slow but not too slow would like this. She also doesnt have an annoying voice or talk too much.
There is a massive ammount of likes! 182K and less than 4k dislikes. Good youtube videos that I have seen in general tend to have about 10% dislikes v likes. I am giving it one more like!
Some people are just haters and feel the need to be negative.
Maybe it is because she provides very few ideas for modifications. I’m thankful I’ve done enough yoga in the past to know what to do for my bum knee and short arms and legs. Otherwise even something as simple as these poses would be frustrating and even heartbreaking because I simply cannot do them.
Thank you. Have just finished the 30 days of 2024 and I am starting from the beginning and hopefully doing all the 30 days videos during the year..
Omggg hiiii, I'm doing that as well 😂❤
This is what I am thinking of doing.
Me too!
Me too.
Same here
I have just completed my 30 days and I just wanted to say this is the best gift I have ever given myself. Don't wait until the "right time" to start this, if you can keep to these 30 days of yoga when everything in life is messy and chaotic, you'll have added an incredible tool to your belt of coping mechanisms. I started and quit this program in the midst of my dad's battle with cancer. Over the course of his 2-year decline, I severely neglected my health and when he passed I was broken in mind, body, and spirit. I have since learned that life is made of seasons, and we cannot wait until the hard seasons have passed before we finally show up for ourselves. We need to love and nurture ourselves through those hard times. I restarted this journey in the middle of a transitional period. I am living with my in-laws waiting for my cabin to be finished. It's not a positive environment here and some people would think I'm crazy for committing to this yoga practice while I live in this house among toxic people, but it has helped me to find peace amidst the chaos.
I just began this today .. sending peace to your situation
Thank you for sharing!
Same for me I am so proud of you! speaking from someone who had to pull myself up out of whatever I was going through and now 9 months postpartum ❤Adrienne helped me tremendously I just started again this week and I'm so excited because I know what's going to come! I wish you the best on your journey ❤❤❤❤❤
now i now what my best friend has been talking about! I mean i've done yoga class before but doing in alone in my room is so much different and I can't wait until tomorrow! Perfect before night time, being relaxed before bed. Thank you for making yoga so much fun for a beginner like me :)
+Olivia Karlberg Yay! Welcome to the channel Olivia!
sames its fun soothing healthy in one word its amazing
I feel as though now after doing this I can accomplish anything today!😂😂😂😄😄😄😄😄😄
I know I've been doing this workout every night and I feel so peaceful! (Btw im usually REALLY stressed)
how does yoga have this many CZcams views? mind blown
13:18 Take a look at your hands
Me : I need to sweep this floor
So true...
Literally my thought 😂
🤣
Every day I do stretches at home on the floor.
Same 😂😂😂
Today was my first day EVER trying yoga. I really thought yoga wasnt going to be challenging. I definitely lost a lot of the poses and had to keep checking the computer screen, but i truly feel more stretched out and calm. This is my first day getting back to being active. I went for a 40 min. walk/jog and that wore me out. But I do not have access or money to a gym so I am trying what I can for free. So i decided to try yoga. I was first hesitant on yoga or Pilates. I saw that yoga deals more with your mental health and that is definitely something I need more help in. So proud of myself and anyone else doing their first day! Such a big step! Thank you Adriene.
her: focus on what you're feeling
my feelings: OH GOD THIS HURTS
Can relate
you're stretching too far! it's not supposed to hurt
How can so many dislike this .. this was absolutely perfect for someone wanting to start yoga for the first time or even get tips on teaching it.. Thanks so much Adriene
My daughter convinced me three years ago to try this. I was a 57 year old man who was not into yoga. But I had back and hip pain. What a difference this has made for me. Just turned 60 and feel good. Try it and stay with it. Use a chair if you need to as you begin. You'll be glad you did it
Oh my gosh how awesome are you?! Congratulations on your successful experience and thanks for sharing.
Today (Dec 1, 2021) is the first day of 365 days of yoga. I plan to accomplish 1 hour of yoga everyday until we meet here again on Dec 1, 2022. I'll be documenting my progress and experience and hopefully post here to CZcams after some time. Thank you Adrienne ❤️
please! 🙌
Good luck on your adventure! I look forward to seeing your progress!
What an interesting challenge. Good luck!
I have just started the 30 day with Adrienne as well. Already felt great first day. 10/10
Good luck Joy! Today is day one for me! Please tell me it gets easier. 🙏
I am doing this particular 30 day challenge for the 2nd time now and I can't get over the fact that how much I have changed both physically and mentally.... so for those of who are just starting this challenge don't give up, loads of happiness is coming your way(again both physically and mentally)😀
I'm on day 29 and wanted to circle back to describe how powerful, but gentle, this series is. I'm a 65-year-old man with a bit of a belly and I sit at a computer all day long. The first few days had me breathing hard and sweating and I had to take a lot of breaks, huffing, and puffing.
I told myself, if I make it to Day 5 I'll reward myself with a yoga matt and blocks. No sweat ;-)
As each day passed I noticed how my body re-adjusted. My movements during the day became smoother, my digestion completely changed (for the better), and my appetite really shifted. I now eat less at each meal which is really cool.
I'm amazed at how this 30-40 minutes each day of being focused and stretching has transformed me.
Adriene is encouraging, gentle, and graceful and is a wonderful guide to the experience of doing yoga for yourself. Her continual reminders of deep breathing with the movement and the suggestions of being playful and smiling really help your mind get in synch. She shows many alternative poses and after every challenging pose, she offers one allowing you to catch your breath and rest.
Thanks, Adrienne (and your camera person)! I've now made yoga a regular part of my life. I'm also now a member so I can access your other resources and can continue exploring yoga.
Wonderful, Peter! Thank you for sharing! So happy to have you in this beautiful community!
Such an inspiring testimonial Peter! I just read it to my husband who is about to celebrate his 60th birthday tomorrow. He might celebrate by beginning a yoga practice with Adriene!
I now have over 60 days of yoga (with Adriene) on my mat.
I'm getting into the rhythm and feel in control of my body (although gravity is still not my best friend when doing some of those balancing poses...)
Best of luck to both of you. Doing yoga with a partner is a rare treat! But, solo is good too. It is certainly helping me address each day! And even though my wife cannot join me, she encourages and supports my daily practice. Yea!
You are starting on a wonderful journey. I wish you both great energy.
Peter Johnson Is yoga still going good for you? I'm 9 weeks in now and so glad I found her!
All right! You've passed the 30-day mark. Conga Rats!
Yes, I'm still going strong with Adrienne, just finishing up my third month. I've noticed several things. First, Adrienne is not only sharing her yoga expertise but gives me daily affirmations as well. I didn't really notice them when I started, but now, seeing repeat videos and getting my balance and my breath, I find myself hearing Adrienne throughout the day.
I can tell a real difference in my posture and breathing. I'm smelling things that I wasn't even aware of before which is a wonderful thing now that Spring is arriving. Also, my body is getting stronger and my balance is so much better.
Doing yoga with Adrienne every morning is like reading a chapter in a really, really good book. One where you never know what will happen that day.
Keep it up Danyeil. It keeps getting better and better.
And, namasté Adrienne! I send my energy to you. Every day I appreciate all that you are sharing both with the yoga practice and your daily affirmations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Adriene for all of your videos and for just having a positive impact on people's lives. I had the idea of taking up yoga to improve my overall well-being, but wasn't really sold until I came across one of your videos. I've since checked out many other yoga videos, but none of them are as enjoyable as the ones you put out. Your personality, energy, attention to detail, and positive encouragement to let us have our own journey and experience really sets you apart. I was supplementing your videos with another 30 day challenge on youtube, but now I'll be able to do the same with the best yoga instructor out there! I'm a lifelong fan! Keep being amazing and much love!
Agreed 100%
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you Adriene!
Exactly, well said. Thanks so much Adriene. I am looking forward to the next 30 days spent with you.
A lot of people like doing it in the morning because you haven't eaten yet, but I tend to do it in the afternoon because if I do anything too early in the morning I tend to accidentally do too much and end up throwing my back out or something.
Can't agree more with you, Mehar. Thank you so much, Adriene. I was feeling restless and agitated before the practice and now I'm feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you, Adriene, for bringing wellness, calm and inner strength into my life!
I'm a newbie and just completed this 30 Days. I want to encourage other curious newbies. You can do it! Get ready for Day 2 and don't give up. Day 2 kicked my butt! It was a rude awakening, but I went through it to the best of my abilities, dripping sweat at the end, feeling happy and mad and the same time. It became further motivation. After completing the 30 Days, I came back to Day 2 as a check-in and loved it. Still challenging , in a wonderful way, and I was absolutely thrilled with the improvement. I think you will be too. :)
This is my fourth journey on thirty days. You've no idea what a difference you make in my outlook, my movement, my life.
I started doing yoga with you on January 8, 2018. Honestly I couldn't do a thing, I was about to turn 52, had a big tummy, could barely stretch to touch my knee caps and when I did yoga on the floor, my body shook like a washboard; my big dream was to do downward dog, just.
I just kept at it; and I increased my time with you just a little every day. Now, here at the end of March 2018, I practice yoga daily. In fact I'm doing three engagements (day one, two and three) with you a day. So has "Yoga with Adrienne" helped me? Well I've lost 27 pounds and I look a decade younger. I've also gotten about 6 other men in their 50's to try doing "Yoga with Adrienne". Happy to send you a before and after pic (just tell me where to send it).
Oh one more thing - I'm not done losing weight or feeling good! I'm actually hooked now because you are such a great instructor. You have a way of making all of your Yogi's (did I say that right) feel like yoga is the best "feel good" medicine around and it can change anyone's life for the better. All I can tell you is that your video's have changed mine.
Thank you - and I encourage folks to just, start.

Jeffrey Vargas thanks for the encouragement. I asked the Yoga group on the Fitbit community where to start learning about yoga and about 80% said to try Yoga With Adriene. With that kind if recommendation, and reading your comment, I’m pretty sure I’m in the right place. Thanks for your testimonial. Hope you’re doing great now in mid-September 2018!
Thank you for sharing I’ve just started! And I’m trying to lose weight as well as just feel mentally and physically happier. I was so worried that I wouldn’t lose weight doing yoga alone so it’s good to hear that someone has :)!
Who else wants to join me January 1st 2020? I just discovered this 30 day challenge with Adrienne and I have always wanted to start yoga so I am pretty excited!
I'm in!
Meeeeee!
I'm in! Let's make a group or sth to stay accountable.
I'm in! 😉
I might!
This may have been the start of the first 30-day program I ever did, perhaps even the first YWA video ever as my last post was at least 4 years ago. It is a wonderful way to start the morning and week.
Ease day 16. 1107 days in a row.🎉
Still here and going strong too! 💪
Happy Monday, Will! How are you? 😊
We got this!!! ❤
Just finished 30 today . Could write a novel on what this has done for me . All I can say is thank you .
I’m an overweight mid 20s girl that’s never tried yoga before and it was definitely frustrating not being able to do every single pose in this video but I’m going to come back and keep trying until I get it right! Felt great despite all that: day 1 complete :)
i'm overweight as well and started this challenge. I totally understand what you're feeling. try to Modify the poses in that way where you feel it but make sure you aren't uncomfortable! "listen to your body" is so essential to yoga.
Girl same! We can do it!! Gonna try this one again tomorrow until I get it 💪🏻 we can do this!! 😁❤️
Keep doing what you are doing. you will get better. The only losers are those who quit trying...

Keep going! I just started today! I believe in you!♥️
I'm going to be honest here. I'm a 15 year old boy that's trying to get in better shape and I want to really lose a little bit of weight. And if any of my friends were to figure out I'm doing this they would probably tease the crap out of me. But anyways, I hope this really helps me and by reading the comments I see that it does. Wish me luck! 😊
+Aaron Lightle
Good luck. I would recommend doing this regardless of your fitness goals or what your friends think. It's good for your brain and if you skate (judging by your profile picture) it's a good way to stay loose and avoid injuries. That being said, I personally haven't found yoga to be useful for losing weight. I'm not sure what other people experience, but I don't feel like I burn many calories doing this stuff. If you're looking to improve your physique, regardless of your weight, I would recommend weightlifting (check out the book Starting Strength). Also, eating gross healthy food and cutting empty calories. It's hard at first but it gets easier pretty quickly.
+David Evans hopefully it can help me with mma and being relaxed and im judo when being thrown around because my weightlifting routine might have made me stiff( in terms of relaxation not so much flexibilty ) even though im not the most flexible guy
+Aaron Lightle I love your honesty !!! Just do it! Don't tell them, then they'll see the results and you can brag about it :p . It really helps. !! Adrianne has a complete series on Yoga for weight loss, more targeted to burn calories !! You can check them !! Eat healthy and give yourself a cheat day is the way to go. I've lost 30 pounds so far :) and I still eat cake and pizza !! :p
+Aaron Lightle To lose weight doing Yoga, you need to do it every day and focus on getting the forms as good as you can on that day. The other important thing is to keep up with your daily food intake. I have an app on my phone (you can search Play/Apple store for one that works for you) that keeps up with my calorie intake, and helps me make good decisions about my meals.
As far as people teasing you, at some point, you'll realize that has nothing to do with you as a person. As you mature, learning to be happy and secure in your own person becomes much more important than what anyone else thinks. Keep up the great work, and you will be amazing!
Luck! Me too except I don't really need to lose weight I'm a dancer and I just need to get stronger and flexible but I applaud you for doing this even though you probably will get teased and I just hope you get what you're looking for I think you will.
I just completed the 30 days without missing one day and wanted to say to those who are just starting or want to start but feel intimidated please just show up to the mat and let Adriene guide you. You will not regret it. There were days when I really didn't want to do it but I showed up and somehow it was exactly what my body, mind and spirit needed. Good luck
what if I can't do the full plank? I'm beginner and I want to try this so bad to get stronger and better but I fear I won't be able to do alot of poses.
@@rachellewellborn2555 Modify. If you can't do a full plank, do a half plank. If you can't do downward dog, take a child's pose or do puppy posture. Etc, etc. As you continue to do yoga, you'll build more strength and the poses will come much easier to you. But until that happens, only do what your body is able to do. Don't push yourself too far. It's not about what the shape looks like, it's about how the shape makes you feel.
I am here tonight because I am sharing this video with my mom who needs anxiety relief and it makes me nostalgic because this video was what started me on my healing journey in 2018. I practiced with you everyday at home as a single mother of a small child with A LOT of problems at the time. Fast forward, I became a yoga teacher in 2019 and I have completely changed my entire life. This video saved my life, essentially. THANK YOU ADRIENE, I LOVE YOU ❤️
Don’t know if you still read these Adriene, but to anyone reading this, I have repeatedly kept trying to lose weight only to give up after a couple of days or weeks. I’m starting my weight loss journey again and I just want you to know to never stop trying even if you fail to stick with it. Go back. Push harder. Know that I and other people are going through this too. I weigh 255 lbs and plan to get down to 200 by the end of 2019 with the help of these videos and jogging. 55 pounds in 365 days? That should be nothing. Let’s do this and be healthier people together.
Thanks again Adriene.
I have been a student of Adriene's for years, but have been struck down with a severe illness in 2018 and was bedridden. I am here, up starting with Dedicate to begin to move again. Yoga is the greatest way to heal, move, and most important, accept yourself. If you want to lose 55 lbs, being with Adriene for 30 days will enable you in your process of self confidence determination and self acceptance and self-love.
Snake Diet - me and my husband lost 230 lbs last year as a couple! You can do it.
Good luck! :)
I have the same plan! 💪💪
How is it going?
An update: I previously mentioned that I'd started " 30 days of Yoga w Adriene" a few years ago and quit after 8 days; then started up during Covid in a year of big loss and transition for me. I'm now finishing my fourth round of 30 days and I'm so happy. It's just how I start every day now -- part of my "morning rituals." It's one of the "pandemic positives" that are mine to keep.
As Adriene suggests, we're supposed to become our own guide in time so I don't always follow step for step. Sometimes I turn the audio down and freestyle with the video running for inspiration and to help me when I get stuck.
Also, I went to her website and bought the course. She has a "name your own price" thing, so it supports the cause, is not cost prohibitive and you don't have to watch CZcams commercials. Pretty cool.
So keep up the good work, all. And thank you, Adriene, for helping us find happiness :)
I m starting today.hope ill persevere
no
I did this in 2015 and I am doing it again now, in 2023, 8 years later. Extremely grateful that this one is still on her channel. I love it.
I feel like Adriene is a yoga instructor and a therapist rolled into one. She's the best. 💖💖💖
Hay pretty lady ☺️
I never realised my lounge-room floor was so dirty lol.
ozboybrian a thousand times this
Jack Preston haha! 67 times so far :P
lmaoooo it happens
+ozboybrian Me too!! Dog Hair... everywhere...!!!
lol
After minimizing all of my physical items, (becoming more of a minimalist) becoming vegetarian, getting my shit together, I really think yoga is the final touch. It's so relaxing, and after a stressful day of work or school it really lets you cool down. I wanted to try it out, so here I am. Day 1 is done! I feel like this is a challenge I'd actually keep up with. It's so fun, so calm and relaxing, I think 30 days will go by like a breeze.
put the cherry on top by starting meditation too!
Mia Morningstar what are the poses you do??????
Yay for you! Take your life to another Level by starting to research veganism!
I can also recommend veganism, it makes all the difference and makes you feel amazing physically and psychologically. It also goes really well with minimalism since it saves a ton of resources:) Maybe check out youtuber Jenny Mustard, she talks about it in a great way.
I've started this challenge so many times, and I've only completely done it once. These 30 days are great and if you can even just get on the mat for one minute then that's an achievement! Keep going everyone!
I came back to this 30 day journey after 7 years, this was the perfect beginning.
When Adriene said "allow yourself to do nothing" I burst into tears!!! Adriene you are doing such important healing work. Thank you for sharing your light!
Molly you are right my friend.Yoga is very useful and Thank sharing this great content
I feel that way too...
“Just pause and give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing”.... and just like that I started crying. Thank you, it was beautiful
@@rabbitabyss2197 lololoolololololl
Sounds like u just needed release from stress. Worked well :)
SAME, sister. Same.
I felt the same way. It was a moment we really needed in the video
Same!!! I wasn't expecting that at all!
This is the first time I did this , 2021, and I cried so much during the first 10 minutes when I felt how stiff my joints were, how constricted my body felt. I know I will do all the 30 days and not be desperate when I cant do some of the basic stuff ( too fat and 52 years old). Thank you so much!!
I’m 62 years old. I started with you 10 years ago just as I was preparing for my wedding and a new life with my wonderful husband. I’ve not always made it to the mat but I’ve made it very, very often. I’m so excited for another year with you. After this 30 days I’m going all the way back to Day one of year one of 30 days of Yoga. I’m excited to go back and see how much you and I have grown. Bless you!
I have an online yoga buddy and we check in daily with our practice. After completing the 2024 30-Days of Yoga, I suggested we do just that. Begin with Adrienne’s beginning. ❤
First day starting the 30 day challenge!! Who else is starting today? :]
Me.
Mar Sea I started on the 1st!! This is great!!
How did it go?
Jazmin Mortimer I think I am on day 14 right now lol but it works for me because I mix it with cardio and other types of exercise throughout the week. Sometimes I do certain videos over as well.
Mar Sea
So today was the day I decided to take a hold of my life. Being over weight has gotten to me over the years but I wouldn't do anything about it. Today after being in College for almost a year and a weight of 299 lbs and being 6'2'' I decided to begin doing yoga just today. I had enough and needed to get off my butt and enjoy life and become healthy before I die of obesity. After HS I thought I was at least a little bit for fit than I really am, I played softball, road my bike, and did other sports. As I began this first day of yoga I realized how out of shape I was, I used to be able to do lunges now I can't. So here is to my first day of doing yoga and breaking a sweat.
You go girl!
Wauw! Yes! I am not overweight, but definitely at an unhealthy weight and totally out of shape, when I started yoga I kinda panicked how tough it was 😅 but after 3 months of consistency I could do so much more and felt a-ma-zing! (Unfortunately I got out of this rhythm and have to start again now ;))
I didn't even make it through the first half hour, but I feel better doing what I was able to do! I'm 5' 4" and weigh 160, and I have never been this heavy in my life. I am with you all the way girl! :) We'll figure out this breathing and centering, and get our bodies back together! :) Enjoy!
Good for you! I'm 6'2" as well. I'm going to start the 30 days of yoga today and follow your lead. Wondering how you're feeling 2 weeks in. Don't give up. That's always my biggest problem. I'm so hard on myself for lacking consistency, but the important part is that we keep getting back on the horse ;-) hope you are well and feeling good.
how's it going? :)
I’ve tried to do this 30 day challenge three times and have not yet been able to stick with it all the way through but this time I am determined!! I made it to Day 27 on my last attempt but I’m really pushing myself to complete the challenge all the way through this time. I love reading the support here in the comments of this community! Thank you Adriene for your joyful spirit that keeps me coming back to the mat.
Been doing the Yoga for Beginners 20 minutes for over a month now. Time to take this 30 days in a row. I remind myself, show up, make each day count.
I'm like the last person to even think about doing Yoga, but after months of University work at my desk being hunched over, mixed with quarantine rendering me stiff and inactive, I thought I should treat my body with this. Hopefully throughout this journey some passersby will come across this comment as I intend to edit this comment daily for the 30 days to share my journey! [Day 30/30]
-
Day 1 - Although light and mellow, there were some poses that were tough for me to do, but I still did them! This is not in any way a fault of Adriene's for making it 'difficult,' it's just cos I've been so inactive for so long lol. But after the video ended my body felt warm and my back feels looser! Already noticing I'm not clicking or creaking as much.
-
Day 2 - Wow I started this with very tight/obstructed hip flexors in the Child's Pose and ended with a completely new flexibility, mobility and 'looseness.' Also began to sweat which was a surprise for a complete Yoga newbie. This was significantly tougher than yesterday for me, but in the end felt so good. Back and hip flexors feel most changed today.
-
Day 3 - Felt much more different to what I had already done from the past 2 days and it also felt really fast. Still nice and calming, but personally I hope tomorrow is more like what days 1 and 2 were like! Feel good overall in terms of agility and flexibility.
-
Day 4 - Now THIS is what I needed, a full on focus for my back. My biggest reason to even start this challenge was to help loosen my back up and 4 days in, it's done just that. Felt so good and also (I think I've done it wrong lol but) my heels touched the mat in Downward Dog! Hope that's a sign of actual progress and not because I've done it wrong lol. Another great video and personally felt much better than yesterday's.
-
Day 5 - This was 16 minutes?? I swear it only felt like 5 wow this went by so quick. I felt this was very calming for me, however I was in a happier mood than usual today so that could have influenced my feelings. Some of the positions were difficult to do, but that's no fault of Adriene's. It's mine for not getting flexible earlier! But we're learning I guess lol:)
-
Day 6 - Oh good GOD this one killed me lmao. Yeah my core strength is effectively zero so this is most definitely the hardest video of the series yet (feel like I'm speaking too soon, but I'm tryna be as transparent as possible). Really felt engagment in my core and this Yoga session felt much longer to me than yesterday despite them being 16 mins each.
-
Day 7 - Oof man this was tough, but I'm gonna blame my over-indulgence (it was Eid today!). Probs the sweatiest I've gotten cos of Yoga so far, but it was pretty good. I feel I would have done better had I not ate so much today lol, but it's all good! Hopefully tomorrow will be better for me personally.
-
Day 8 - This session has really killed my motivation:( it exposed how inflexible I am and I'm metally back to square one with the mindset of 'Yoga isn't for me.' My hip flexors are still so tight which has demotivated me further because I really thought I was making progress:( I could barely do most of the moves because of how tight my hip flexors are and the cramp I was getting. Want to give up, but I won't.
-
Day 9 - I think yesterday was an odd blip for me because WOW this felt amazing today! Everything felt so strong, sure they were difficult, but I managed to do nearly everything with good/great form. There were some minor adjustments to the moves I had to make because of my inflexibility, but I am definitely getting better. I can also time my breathing better.
-
Day 10 - We're a third of the way through! I'm so glad I'm starting to do Yoga in the late morning/early afternoon because it nicely sets the tone of my mood and my day. This was a nice and slow session, felt nice and centred afterwards. Went by very fast.
-
Day 11 - This felt so incredible for me today wow, I was really focused on all the moves and positions and just feeling every part of my body being really engaged. I think once this 30 Day challenge is done, I will be coming back to this video daily forever because it targeted where the main site of issue is; my hip flexors. I felt so much warmer and looser after this, can't wait for tomorrow!
-
Day 12 - This was a nice, slow and soothing session for me. Very peaceful flow of movements, despite some poses being a little difficult to do! Managed to keep up with the pace nicely and modified poses for my ability level.
-
Day 13 - The hardest part of this entire session was tryna get your palms to meet in Eagle Pose cos how on earth can you pretzel your arms like that?? Really good session overall though, feeling more and more connected per day and I can't believe it's been nearly 2 weeks of this! Flown by:)
-
Day 14 - 2 weeks done! Been a great journey, loved it so far. This was a nice short session, but man my hamstrings cramped in that new pose:( Hurt pretty bad, but on the whole this was really nice. Can't believe we're nearly halfway done.
-
Day 15 - We're halfway through! So crazy, also sorry for not updating this when I did it yesterday, it was my dad's bday:) but this was definitely the most challenging one so far. A lot of balance required and I'm not afraid to say I literally toppled over in a few poses hehe. But it felt really good. Can't believe we've made it this far!
-
Day 16 - As good as this felt, this was NOT easy OR breezy lol. It was fast, fluid, intense and sweaty. But it felt really great. I'm over halfway into this journey and I'm STILL surprised how sweaty I can get just from yoga! Really good session today, shower is very much needed hehe.
-
Day 17 - My heels can touch the mat in Downward Dog! This time with proper form, that is massive progress for me personally and also I was surprised I was able to reach back and grab my arch in that new pose. Loving how much progress I have made and how agile and flexible I am feeling compared to Day 1:)
-
Day 18 - This felt reaaally good for my hip flexors, which have been thecommon theme of my daily Yoga updates doing this challenge. I also surprised myself that I actually managed to keep my balance AND bend over in that single-legged forward fold! The stretch that I felt was amazing and literally 2 minutes after it, my hips flexors had never felt so loose! Amazing session today.
-
Day 19 - This was a very soothing and calming session. Probably the most connected I've ever felt to my breathing and energy, in my entire life. Much needed wind-down and relaxation, can't believe we'll be going into the final 10 days from tomorrow!
-
Day 20 - We're in the final 10 days I can't believe it! Was in a rush today as I was attending a peaceful protest for BLM here today, but this managed to soothe and calm my mind very well. I even made further progress in my flexibility! So great to see the progress in myself.
-
Day 21 - 3 weeks officially complete! I made even more progress here I'm v proud. Managed to place my palms onto the mat in forward fold with straight legs, I also managed to hold Warrior Pose in near perfect form and I even did the Frog Squat for the first time ever! And we still have 9 days left to go to make more progress:)
-
Day 22 - Another one that did my hip flexors really well, loved how deep the moves and stretches felt. Also loved the focus on Warrior Pose movements, they further helped my hips to open.
-
Day 23 - Just one week remaining:( kinda sad it's ending soon. Anyways,the side plank was quite difficult but I weirdly noticed my balance and strength is greater on my left side than my right. Strange thing to occur, but just a thing for me to improve on I guess!
-
Day 24 - Wow how strange is it that the first video where Savasana lasted for a few minutes, I didn't even notice. I was in pure relaxation and stillness until I noticed the gentle music had stopped. Anyway, this is another video I think I'll be returning to after his challenge is done as it really attacked my hip flexors well! Another great session, just 6 days remain:(
-
Day 25 - Went by very quick so I decided to take up Adriene's advice of doing one of the options she gave at the end. I did the hip openers since that's been my main focus and weakness, but other than that it was a nice and easy and mellow session today. Getting closer to the end now:(
-
Day 26 - This was a nice and calming session and honestly didn't feel that long to me! Very soothing stretches into different parts of my body that somehow needed to be stretched today, coincidentally, more than ever.
-
Day 27 - This was like a really good test for myself to see how much progress I've made with my flexibility. And I'm happy to say and see so much progress! Flat feet in Downward Dog, improved hip motility, deeper Cat-Cow and a lot less stffiness and pain. This video for me was an amazing progress checkpoint!
-
Day 28 - Wow that flipped Downward Dog was insane, but what's crazier is the fact that I even managed to pull it off! Felt so good to do a difficult move. Overall great video again, was great for my entire body and I loved how Adriene gave us a bit more freedom on how to transition into different positions. It's a nice subtle way to show her build in trust in us over this 30 day journey and to remind us that it's always been us in control, not Adriene:)
-
Day 29 - The penultimate session:( it was another nice video, nothing too challenging or difficult. Can't believe tomorrow is the last one!
-
Day 30 - Journey complete. Thank you Adriene for making an average person like me find a new appreciation for Yoga, for guiding a complete newbie and nurturing me the past 30 days and for helping me fix my back and hip flexors. I'll miss this.
Thank you so much for taking time to give such awesome feedback. I just did Day 1, but having read your comments I'm motivated to definitely go through till the Day 30 Session :)
@@drjams03 oh wow I never expected all these likes let alone a reply! I'm so glad you feel more motivated, that was the precise intention of my daily updates. The hope that I could inspire at least one other person to keep going! You're definitely more than capable to complete this, keep at it and I promise you'll thank yourself:)
Super inspired. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
@@whathehec I'm so glad you are:) and needn't to thank me, wish you the best of luck with this challenge!
This was great to read!! Thanks for taking the time to track your progress with us.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I went from 140 to 200 pounds, thanks to my anxiety. I'm ready to finally live! Day 1... Let's get it!! Thanks for posting this video! Namaste
My first year following Adrienne without quitting early.
I completed “Move” in Jan. Just finished “Breath”. I think I’ll begin a new month with this program tomorrow. Thank you, Adrienne!
Hi - I am doing the same as you! I did breath and now have decided to go right back to the start of all the 30 days of yoga over the years and work thru them. Best decision ever!
This 30 day challenge is what got me into yoga 3 years ago. it was very healing for me, helped me make peace with my mothers passing. this is my third time doing this challenge again, i moved to a different state and its been a huge change for me. Adriene is once again helping me settle in with the changes. I'm so thankful for your channel and positivity.
Thank you for being real and letting your silliness and personality come through. It made me smile. Thank you! I really enjoyed this.
I was so stressed out when I saw this video was 35 minutes since deadlines are approaching and I'm stressed out. Thankyou for making me take a moment and just breathe! I'm ready to get to work far more positively now :) looking forward to the series!
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Ease Day - 16 is refreshing and energizing, and it aids in the digestive system. Ah, I feel great. Now, it's time for a run 🏃🏿♀️ and weight training 💪🏿 to return to work for the first time in 5 days. I had to put my yoga 🧘🏾♀️ tools and meditation in my pocket before work. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋

TY for your post! Your day by day updates really helped motivate me to start this challenge 🎉
@@micah2805 Good luck I’m rooting for you!!
At first i was like “agh i have to do this for 34 minutes!” And it just felt like a relaxing 10 minute stretch. Im excited to start this :)
same here!
IKR! I was here for 37 minutes! I can’t even sit still or concentrate on something for 3 seconds-
Same! from Japan
I know!
I know right? I also thought 34min... ogh and before i knew it was over and very enjoyable
To all reading this: I just finished my 30 days. I didn’t know if I was going to stick with it, but it was wonderful. My lower back pain has decreased significantly and I now look forward to doing yoga each morning...even if for only 10 minutes. Take on this challenge. You won’t be disappointed. ❤️
Back again in September of 2023 to begin a series of 30 Days with Adriene , in anticipation of a new one in January. Thank you so much Adriene, my 65 year old body works so much better because of you.
This is my second time doing this playlist of 30 days of yoga. The first time was summer of 2019 - I had recently left a really stressful job with no plan other than to take the summer to myself and work some things out. I did the 30 days, never having done yoga before, and it wasn't always easy but I found it fulfilling and I enjoyed seeing my progress! I continued doing yoga (mostly) daily for the rest of the year and into the dreadful times of 2020. I came back to so many yoga with Adriene videos - different 30 day challenges, or just choosing random ones on my own. I was heading into my 30s and was in the best shape I'd been in my entire adult life. I felt strong and confident and energetic. But somewhere in early 2021 I hit a road block and lost my progress (probably because all of my focus went to planning my wedding). I got a full-time office job in September 2021 and found it hard to take time to myself to move mindfully (or at all). And here we are coming to the end of 2023.... I haven't done yoga at all for at least a year. My movement has been reduced to walks after work. I'm in a cycle where it's hard to get back into it ('it' being any sort of exercise) because it's been so long and then when I do get into it, I feel bad about myself because I can't handle what I could just a few short years ago. So here I am, back with Adriene for this 30 day challenge. Over the next 3 months I hope to build up strength in my body and mind so that I can bring the best version of me to January 2024s 30 day challenge and do it live with everyone again!
I’m just checking back on day 1 to encourage all others who are starting on this 30 days journey and beyond. I started this 15 days ago with constant right lower back and buttock pain radiating down the right leg because of disks herniation compressing the right side of L4-L5 and L5-S1 nerve roots. The pain was constant and would wake me at night. I decided to start on this journey while at the same time scheduling a steroid injection to those nerve roots. After 7 days of practice, my pain was at a level where I decided to not go forward with the steroid injection. Now, at 15 days of constant practice I can say that I am pain free! I will continue this practice moving forward.
Adrienne, thank you for your accessibility!
That's fantastic! I hope you are still doing well.
Hi there! If you're reading this and you happen to be new to this journey, I just wanna let you know that today was the final day of this journey for me. It has massively changed and helped my flexibility, my back and my breathing. It was worth every single day to get onto the mat and start the video. The journey coming to an end for me was quite sad cos I get attached to routines very quickly, but if you're thinking of doing this then I highly recommend it! Thank you Adriene for helping me find a love for Yoga. And for any newcomers still reading this, don't give up! You'll get to the final day and thank yourself whilst beaming with pride and maybe feeling a little sad that it's all over.
I've taken some time off and boy did I get stiff. It feels so good to be back again and committing to taking good care of myself.
How do I access all 30 days? Thank you
I have a lot of stress In my life and it's hard sometimes to find the right things to do to make your life better when you lack a lot of motivation but I am going to try this challenge for the first time in my life I want to start something and actually finish it and I will update this comment every couple of days sharing my progres to people that are unsure if this will do good or not to them. I am not in shape, can't really stretch my full body so the first couple of days will be hard for me. Good luck y'all! ❤
Day 1: Some moves were pretty hard to execute for me because I can't fully extend my back but I felt very relaxed and actually helped me release some pain I had in my back and shoulders.
My 6 year old daughter found your yoga videos and we have been doing them together for 4 days now. After a mentally draining year of unfortunate events ,after only 4 days my body and mind are changing already. My daughter and I enjoy our special yoga time everyday. Very thankful for you and making yoga approachable!
Love this! I love how Adriene isn't all stiff "follow my movements exactly". She isn't afraid to let you go, to be silly and just have fun! I mean, what other yoga instructor would say "Hey-o!" throughout the workout?! Love this and can't wait to keep on with the 30 day challenge! I have done some yoga with Adriene in the past just random days but my mom told me that she has been doing this challenge and how much better she feels! She is 67 and is dealing with knee pain but she said that her pain has lessened and she is on day 15! I have my two boys so I'm hoping to remember to do this daily!
I'm just embarking on my 8th straight month of YWA daily practice, and returning to this 30 day program - this was the one I started with in April. The improvements in my strength, flexibility and ease are so noticeable, and I feel I'm just at the beginning. This is the first time I've commented below a video but it's beyond time to say thank you. YWA is yoga as I always felt it should be - personal growth, enquiry, self-love, and at my own pace. I would, and do, recommend YWA to everyone, because Adriene has something for everyone. Huge gratitude, Adriene, for being in my life. Namaste 🙏
Today was day one for me! I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since this challenge.. I completed it with you 6 years ago so I’m back😍 thanks Adrienne for making yoga so soothing! God bless❤️
4 years later and Adrienne is still over here liking comments HEYOOOOO
100% xx
It’s shows she is authentic in love and embraces that she so willing shares with us!
YWA has allowed me to grow and center my self, these are words that I didn’t know would be a sentence about me.
I’m grateful to be part of YWA community, I’m enjoying life for the first time in years, even though I’m dealing with marital issues, yoga benefits me..... haha he will never under my newfound strength and resolve.💚💜💛❤️🧡💙💗
I love you 🍎🥰
@@yogawithadriene i love you more than they do :)
Hey you - yes you!!
If you’re like me just starting yoga with this ‘30 days’ series then well done, keep going! It took me about 4 months to get through the 30 days, but I made it to the end eventually, woohoo!
In that time it has given me the confidence to join yoga classes without feeling like a complete novice - I never thought I’d be doing a tree pose, even if it is a bit wobbly! As well as being more flexible it has definitely made me fitter and stronger than I expected - I even managed a 10k run without any training (not something I’d recommend of course...).
Adriene has made yoga a fun and motivating part of my life and I’ll definitely stick with it now, and I hope y’all do too - good luck on your journey. Namaste Adriene!! :)
Loving October 2023 , so far... Thankyou, Adriene. This was such a nice practice xx
I have just completed the 30 days and I loved it ! I'm 62 years old dodgy knee but reasonably fit for my age.
I gave it all a go and I loved the way you created a vibe where it was ok to do what you can.Thank you Adrienne for showing the world of Yoga.
I remember doing it for the first time almost 3 years ago and being so.freaking.tired. Now it feels like just a warm up xD To all the person who just started - it's totally worth it. I have depression, anxiety and neurological illness and it helped me to feel better not only physcicaly (when you suffer from depression and anxiety your muscles are tensed too much) but also mentally.
Day 1 complete. :) I am a HIIT enthusiast so plan to do this every other day however after doing day 1 this morning I already feel SO calm which is very difficult for me to find/do as I get really bad anxiety.
Thank you Adriene. I LOVE you approach to yoga, calm, well explained but with a little humour. I find other yoga instructors can be patronising/intimidating sometimes.
Penny D Yeah. These are exactly the reasons why I love Adrienne's approach; her spontaneity and humor make yoga feel approachable.
Penny D I'm just about to try day one :) woo! xx
Penny D Yoga is great for anxiety, it really helps to calm you and I notice that I am a lot calmer when I'm doing yoga. Also look into mindful meditation, just a few minutes a day or whenever you can. It also helps me. I suffer with anxiety but mindfulness and yoga is really making a difference, I've had it for yrs read so many books but only mindfulness and yoga help to change the mind.

I never leave comments but leaving one for accountability. Day one in the books! Thanks Adriene!
Yes, mine too, brings back memories of how stiff I was and how much I have improved over the years. Well done on that total number of days 🙏
Started today!
It was really annoying because I was really into it and my brothers kept coming into the room and people going to the toilet. I share a room with twin brothers who are 7, and there's no door. So I couldn't completely relax because of other people interrupting me. But I've really enjoyed this. I can't get to grips with the downward dog or the plank, but I hope I get there in the end! THIS IS THE BEST NEW YEARS RESOLUTION EVER
You and me together on this, girl!
Same lol
Girl go to a park away from the madness!🌹
I share a room with my sister so I can't do this in my room because it would wake her up, so I came downstairs to try do it and my brother follows me then starts playing really annoying things on his laptop so I can't focus (it's extra irritating because he has his own room to do it and I don't)I asked him to turn it down and he gets mad. You probably don't care, but I just needed somewhere to vent
I know mid yoga when my eyes are closed my 3 year old sister likes to step on my face:/😐😂. It's very annoying
Who else has discovered this during the lockdown and is loving it?
What a fabulous instructor!
Starting in 2022, saved all the 30 day practices. Haven't done yoga in easily 15 years. Excited to make this a daily practice as I work through all of the 30 day playlists. Thank you Adriene, your the only person I've found to be a good fit!
This was my first 30 Day Challenge when it came out and it's still my favourite. I can't believe I've been doing these for 6 years!
Day 1 of Quarantine Yoga done
My two-year-old and I had a good time though we might not have hit every pose 😂 But it feels good to start a practice up again
Lol...doing quarantine yoga too. Day 3.
Me too haha.
Same lol
God school districts need to have yoga as a physical ed credit because I would do that class for sure
Abbey Keith mine does actually
Mila Hunter lucky
I disagree. Yoga isn't meant for everyone. I just did this day one, and it did nothing for me.
MichaelDiPrima maybe its because you dis not try enough i mean day one and you already gave up
Sometimes you just get a feeling that something isn't for you. It happens
I am here for the second set of 30days... Whoever is here with me in 2021 on this beautiful first day of October 10/1/2021, I see you and I am with you on this journey. Let's do this!! Thank you Adrienne!!
Dec 2021!
Starting this today after being away from my practice for a long time. Writing this comment to hold myself accountable ❤️ sending love to all the yogis starting fresh as well!
(posting this message on the first day to hopefully get others motivated to start as well!)
Hello Adriene! We are a group of 3-5 friends following the 30-day yoga challenge. At first we started altogether because we thought that this way we would motivate each other and won't give up. We're on day 12 and we are ADDICTED! We don't know how life was before starting the challenge, but we know we won't stop after the 30 days are over. We feel the change in our bodies and mood already.
We think that you are an amazing instructor, making everything seem so simple while empowering people at the same time. Also, we love your sense of humour and personality. Please keep on doing what you do!
Thank you so much for everything! Much love from Sweden

Nenyaki, that's so cool!
thats so heartwarming!

I've been over weight my entire life and I finally started losing weight, then depression came along and not I'm over 200. I completed the beginners video and day 1 of the challenge just in the last hour. I believe i can do this and I will get back down to 170!
I'm in your same place. I am hoping that easing into this yoga challenge will make me feel better in my older and bigger and stiffer body--then perhaps I can work towards more strenuous activities and join you at 170! :) Good luck!
+Jessica Riches thank you! good luck to you as well! :)
I'm also struggling to lose weight as I gained weight lately so keep going !! Yoga makes me feel so good and it will make you feel good too:)
good luck love! How has it been so far
How is it going so far?
I first found Adriene's videos several years ago. I always felt amazing afterwards, but couldn't make myself go on with the practice. Fast forward to January 2023, I started a daily meditation practice. I cannot count all the amazing ways it has totally rocked my whole world. And now, in September 2023, I am finally feeling committed to start a daily yoga practice as well! As many mention here, I am also in a time of profound change in my life physically, mentally, spirituality. But yesterday evening I decided to give myself this gift of starting a new practice. Can't wait to see where this will bring me!
That last pose was the most peaceful I’ve felt in a very long time. It’s been a really stressful couple of years. And I can’t tell you how much I needed this. Thank you.
There may be a horrible pandemic on, but goddamn my hamstrings are getting flexible
There is no horrible pandemic. Politics, statistics
After TRUE in November, the december calender and now BREATH I'm back to where it all started with Adriene for me. And she's sooo lovely! I enjoyed BREATH very much but this video reminded me why I love her so much! Thank you Adriene! Thanks for all your love and support with your videos!
I’m returning to this yoga journey for the month of August. First did this in 2017 and have been trying to keep up my practice ever since. This year is tough as I’ve had to support my husband through a life changing diagnosis and have become his carer. This wasn’t part of the plan!! But YGWA has helped me cope like never before. I practice every morning and I know it sounds cheesy but I feel like Adriene is here with me like a little guardian Angel, sending love and helping steer me through the more challenging days. Sure it’s helped me physically- I’m 61 and look pretty toned. My shoulders and back feel good and I’m not too creaky. But that isn’t even the good stuff! I feel like a morning yoga session and then my dog walk sets me up for my day and whatever lies ahead. In essence, yoga is great for everyone but if you have special challenges then this is a must for you. Just do it. Sending love to everyone ❤️❤️
Here from Flow 30 days of Yoga, day 29. Starting this journey today 🤩
Bruh… I’ve been doing this five years and I’m still trying to finish the 30 days all in one go. This time is different, I’mma get it. I promise y’all. Y’all think I can do it 👇🏾
You doing alright?
So far so good :) Day 6 today
I'm the same way. Its been a struggle but I am really excited to get there
We’ll get there I believe in you :)
@@bluwuboi I had to play catch up yesterday with day 5 and 6 we'll get through this together
I’m 18 years old and having overcome an existential depression, anxiety and drug abuse, I found this video as I looked to start yoga to improve my body for Football. As I lied down in the final pose (shavasana) and started being grateful, I began to burst into tears, wept and screamed out in thankfulness for the miracle which had happened in my life. All of a sudden I felt so much energy inside me that I began to uncontrollably SHAKE and believe God had taken over me momentarily. I soon discovered that what I experienced was a ‘Spiritual Awakening’.
Thank you Adriane for changing my life and helping me find my spirituality. One day when I make football my Profession, hopefully we can meet eachother and have a good chat, you always make me laugh in your videos. Much love from a future Liverpool FC player.
FootballLife reach your goals❤️
This made me so happy
Its so good to see God reveal himself
Keep going strong
💖 you
Good luck with your career! Football is so fun!
🥳 Yes!! Congrats on your awakening! 🙌🏽💗🥰 May your life always be blessed beyond measure. 🙏🏽
Well friggin done you are amazing 😉
I started day 1 of this series today. It's March 2024.
I finished the 30 days for 2024 a few weeks back and found that it really helped me in my overall fitness and really just knowing my own body better.
I’m starting day 1 today too! Let’s do this!! 😁🙏
Just finished MOVE and didn’t want to end it there. Going back to the roots and excited for this new (yet old) journey!!!
Me too! Move 2022 was my first 30 day journey and I didn't want it to end. Excited to follow another 30 days with old school Adriene 🧘🏻♀️❤️
Me too, doing the same thing!
Me too. Started today February 7, 2022. The 30 day Move challenge was my first ever. I really loved it ! Had to find another one of YWA challenges! Seemed good to start with an earlier one !
Mee too so excited!
