Yoga for Flexible Mind and Body

Through this practice, we gain confidence and learn the tools to be present, change courses, and receive clarity.
How do you feel after today's practice?

Benji's already mastered the art of zen, so he leaves class early.

Coming from India, I grew up with Yoga all around me. Then I somehow lost my touch with it once I moved to Europe. When I wanted to come back to it, I tried out virtually and in-person with many teachers. I agree with you about the cliches - the tea, the showy pronunciations of the names of asanas, and of course, 'Namaste' - they definitely made me cringe. But Adriene somehow got me hooked and I kept coming back time and again. It's just her philosophy - accepting yourself where you are today and letting the thoughts and failures be, without expectations to 'achieve the pose' and be perfect - this is what resonated with me and always keeps me grounded when I come on the mat. Not one day passes now when I don't want to get on the mat and do my yoga practice. Over the course of just a few months, i have noticed huge improvements in posture, breath capacity, anger management and even better productivity at work and home. I would want to continue practicing with Adriene and my fellow yogis for the rest of my life. Namaste and have a wonderful day ahead!

I’m here for the February 2023 monthly calendar, and I’d like to say, I absolutely love this practice. In particular, I like star pose. As someone who used to have a really low sense of self-worth/self-esteem, the philosophy of taking up space with pride in this pose means everything to me. It is so valuable. I hope that whoever reads this, knows that their existence is so important and cherished. You matter. ❤ Wishing you all a lovely day. X

When I doubt myself, I whisper, “I am strong”. Perhaps I forgot. Thanks for reminding me Adriene 🙏

I’ve been in such a dark place lately, but that little “thank you” she gave Benji in the intro just warmed my heart and made life a little brighter 💖

Today I said "I AM worthy". Like I meant it. Without hesitation. The way I say I am strong. Thanks Adrienne.

You’ve got me sweating today 😂 It’s always a great day when there is knocking on heavens door involved! Namaste everyone!

*Spark*
Every now and then, usually when I’m struggling in life, I’ll go through a two-three week slump where it’s a real chore and hassle to make it to my yoga mat. It won’t even be like I’ll feel bad in the beginning and better once I’m in the zone or after-I’m miserable the entire time. Today was the first day in weeks in which that cycle was broken. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, Adriene because today is the first day that I’ve felt whole in a while. I AM WORTHY

That little moment of quiet stillness in mountain pose at the end was just awesome, I felt lifted and grounded all at once. Just amazing how 22 minutes of yoga in the morning can elevate your mood and energy, thank you Adriene absolutely loved this x

Center brought me here, and I am grateful for the community! It is wonderful to have guidance with the Align focus this month. Thank you Adriene, community and of course Benji.

Align 2023 - Day 5 ✅ 🎉😊❤one of my favourite practices & a brilliant way to spend this Bea sunny Sunday morning… xx

One of my most fave opening scenes everrr.. Benji's love is so pure and it's heartwarming to see Adriene reciprocated it ❤

Congrats to everyone who showed up to the mat today ❤️ A little goes a long way!!

EXPAND day 2! I’m in it! I am strong! I did this whole practice without the grunting belly flops I usually do when going from plank down to the ground. ❤🎉 Love YWA and this wonderful family of yogis. Thank you, Adriene 🎉

Good morning from Germany! Here for the ALIGN Calendar of February 2023. I love this practice sooo much. Already did it at least once, it's both peaceful and empowering. The perfect quuet start in the day, before the family wakes up !

Bloom Day 30 🙏
I am strong 💪
I am flexible 😉
I am grateful 🙏

I'm in my second year on the mat with "Yoga with Adriane" and it's part of my every day what I don't like to miss. Thank you all for being here together all over the world and thank you especially Adriane& Benji!!

Align day 5! I am worthy, we are worthy! I’m so grateful to be able to do yoga everyday!
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community💜💜💜

Doing the Feb calendar of 2023! I lost some days but here i am. Thank you so much Adriene!!

I don't remember the last time I felt so present and grounded

Day 5 of Align! Gosh I need this today! My mind and body were in a world of their own today! 🤣

I’ve been missing my practice for close to a year now… coming back in May and I’ll be here every day. Adriene, and all this community, THANK YOU for holding the space for each of us to re-enter this practice when we’re ready. This was a sweet way to start, and damn have I needed it 😂
Anyone else returning this month?

Align Day 5. What a great start to a Sunday morning 🙂

Comforting to hear Adriene say Namaste at the end 🙏

A relaxing, refreshing and energetic way to start the day with 800 others. It’s great doing a new video because you know hundreds of people are doing it with you. Thanks Adriene.

💖Wishes of a sparkling Sunday, align and smile 🥰

Excellent Thanks Adriene, use to go to classes once a week also own home practice now for many years just own practice' & yours from time to time, it is so cool you are there, Thank-you again. Paul Armstrong.

May flow and I’m back!! Forget my size… last month what held me back was a surprise pregnancy discovery, then a positive Covid test. As the fever has left and the infection subsides, I got back on the mat. I was out of breath a lot. Feel weak and exhausted. But did it! 💪🏼

after being in a negative mindset for quite some time i started doing daily yoga again. what can i say, it purely does wonders. thank you so much adriene and i’m so excited to do this practice after school today. much love from germany and thank you for pulling me out of my dark places.💚

When 2020 ended I decided to commit to Breath in January, I was so hooked that I kept going, I did Home, Dedicate, True and Revolution.
For June I decided that I want to try following the monthly calendars. I don’t know why I was so nervous before starting but this morning practice showed me why I like doing Yoga with this lovely community, Adriene and Benji.
Thank you Adriene and thank you to your team for your amazing work, you made me really appreciate practicing and helped me find a healthy hobby.
Love from Poland xx

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Expand Day - 2 is amazing. I needed this. I am flexible. I am at peace, refreshed, and energized after this session. I missed a lot of sessions last month due to a hectic schedule. I still practiced yoga daily, just not the calendar. Best wishes, everyone! I'm elated to return to the daily calendar.🦋♥️🦋

The flows have felt quite a bit more difficult since I came back home in February . Gastric issues are a bit more present I assume due to the quality of food here. Bloom day 30. 968 days.
------------
Later start again today. Just finished, and it is nearly 7:30 pm. The same friend I brought the bike to yesterday, came and left with a lot of things, including the computer. I still have a lot to do and am so busy these last weeks as I prepare to leave, but I feel so much closer to being done. Tired too but managing in between resting. Align day 5. 854 days in a row.

I feel really good after todays yoga practice. 😌 I've definitely found doing yoga everyday has built my confidence up a load. Thank you Adriene for being there for me, and for being awesome. You've shown me that I'm pretty awesome too. Love to you Adriene and to sweet Benji too. Namaste day my friend. 💙🙏

ALIGN 🌟 | February 5, 2023 | So great to come back to this quick but effective practice. A little really goes along way. Building strength and flexibility in both mind and body! 🙏

Thank you for sharing this time together on the mat, wherever and whenever that is. I am about to enjoy the walk to work. Second day outside without a mask as the requirement was lifted after two years yesterday. Flow day 3. 576 days in a row.

What a lovely practice before a long flight. Thank you, Adriene.

5/30/23: a rejuvenating and cleansing practice!! i always love when a practice ends with knocking on heaven's door :)

It is in mid-summer, when the heat has risen, that motivation begins to wane. It is good at this time to remember to have gratitude for what Adriene has offered here and also to recall all the benefit yoga has brought to life. Keeping a daily count has also been a great help. Spark day 13. 647 days in a row.

Hi Align day 5! I was sweating and my arms were trembling, but it felt good, not overextending myself. And I really enjoyed the moment of stillness in mountain pose: I felt grounded and strong and present. Thank you Adriene and to everybody practicing: well done you!

Thanks for the constant 👌🏾💕😌 reminders" I am strong"...I am totally in awe of this mind & body soothing practice...Ty Adrienne🧡🙏🏾for the extended stretches and low lunges as I whisper "I am strong, I am enough".so joyful being here on Align Day 05:02:23✅(done) with all on this chilly sunday eve. Best wishes to all & c u 2moro.🙏🏾💙💙

Day 5 of Align, February, 2023.👋🤗
I had an e-mail from Adriene in my inbox this morning. She wrote about a winter storm in her city which really resonated with the happenings in my area, here, in Hungary. Although we were lucky, our flat is alright, my family is alright, etc. But it was definitely a struggle yesterday. We had a full-day blackout, with the electricity coming back only a few times during the day and only for 5 minutes at most. Fortunately we had lightning, heating, and hot water by the afternoon, and finally we could eat a warm dish. When we finally had wifi again, the first thing I did was sending a message to all my close family members, asking if everything was alright. Luckily the answer was yes.
It felt great in a way when I read Adriene's letter today, it reminded me of the fact that we are never alone. The storm is gone now here, but this practice today really suited my mood right now. Today I'll try to be flexible, I'm gonna meet up with my two older brothers for a Monopoly party - although I got a little sick, struggling with a sore throat. I'm just really grateful for what I have now, for my family, and for this community. Thank You, Adriene.❤️🙏

Align Day 5 ✅ 35 days of yoga.
I missed the invitation to say Namaste in Center journey a lot.. but that's totally Aligned here. Namaste 🙏

Align day 5 February 2023, 35 days in a row of yoga ❤️
Went a bit off script towards the end of the practice, but it was what I felt I needed.

My birthday and a full moon....and a lovely practice. I am truly blessed and feeling worthy. Love to everyone.

Day 5 of February ❤️🙏🏼 day 706

When I was relapsing into my eating disorder last year, yoga became a compulsion for me and I would go out of my way to ensure I was able to complete my daily practice to avoid the guilt that came with missing it. After a hospital admission I am beginning to rebuild my life, which includes cautiously adding yoga back into my day in a healthy and contained way. I am slowly trying to relearn to listen to my body and to really understand what it means to 'find what feels good' instead of using movement as a punishment or a chore. Thank you for helping me on my journey

Thankyou, Adrienne. I would be lost without you.🥰

Intention : align to my masculine within
I love the mantras I Am Strong, I am flexible, and I am worthy, which reminds me that I am enough.
Thank you Adriene 😊🙏❤
See you tomorrow beautiful souls 🙏❤😊
Namaste 🙏

A good way to wake me up after a later start to my day 😊

I was feeling a bit lonely and out of sorts, having to start summer school ( on Zoom) tomorrow. Adriene to the rescue! A new practice! Just the right length! I _love_ you Adriene!❤️🌟 Virtual hugs and hey-you the thousands of others who were practicing at the same time. Indeed, not lonely at ALL!

A beautiful, gentle flow. Perfect. Thank you Adriene. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible by joining in.

I feel amazing after this practice, ready for this new day! I wish you all a great day.

Being flexible in the ways in which I achieve my goals, trusting in the universe that somehow , someway , everything will work out. Thank you Adriene! Sending love to all

Here from Center! Sad to say I missed the last 2 practices due to a death in the family. But, I did the last those 2 plus this one in succession today and they worked beautifully to give me nearly 1.5 hours of bliss and healing after a tough time. The first helped "unclog" my energy channel through lots of yummy spine work, the second helped me to release some emotions I have been holding onto and re-open my heart Chakra to receive love, and this one reminded me that it is okay to be flexible in my emotions and that it is okay to feel joy and peace during this time. I am beyond thankful for this series. Namaste 🙏

🔥 great session!For me, the best way to connect my mind and body was through my conscious breathing! Thanks Adriene !

As yesterday a lot of day 5 of Align was spent resting but I was here and on my mat 🙏

Cheers to the 2000 fellow yogis who were doing this at the same time as me! Thanks Adriene for making me work up a bit of a sweat to start my week right! Namaste 🙏

Returning to the calendar for our new video, I never miss one ! This senior yogi smiled as we started in my favourite shark fin stretch, then some useful peddling. I realised this practice was developing into a slow mindful flow, so I went with it and when it came to the tick tock side planks I rested a little and then met in downward dog. Still recovering I slowed it down and breathed deep. The calendar looks good this week, but I’ll swap to some faves for Tuesday and Saturday 😉 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

Does anyone else love the fact that you can always hear Adrienne s heartbeat during videos?

I appreciate your attention to detail. It helps me to improve. Thank you!

I am out of breath, sweating liek crazy and couldn't do all the poses, but after catching covid at the beginning of the month and being ill for most of the last two weeks, it feels good to come back to the mat.

Day 5! Thank you everyone. Today I woke up feeling great. I’m going to try morning cardio with lots and lots of love for myself

I absolutely love the continuous flow here - I can feel I have been working my body but also feel chilled and relaxed. Wonderful! Thank you

Here for Align 2023. Today my shoulders ached but this practice has made them feel 10x better. Definitely one to save!

Knocking on Heavens Door makes me grin foolishly every time.... An invitation to say Namaste brought tears to my eyes.... release of emotions much needed ❤️🙏

Day 16 of nourish :) I have heard of people crying from the emotional release of yoga and was expecting that to happen to me, but I always just smile or laugh uncontrollably!! This practice had me giggling after a few dark, emotionally straining days. I was really needing a more active practice after giving myself a few gentle days, and this was so perfect and so refreshing. Exactly what I needed. Much love to anyone struggling, and to Adriene, the only yoga instructor I've found truly supportive!!

Faster pace than I was expecting but loved this. Surprisingly, I AM flexible! Or at least more flexible than I was a month ago 😊 🙏🏻

As always this flow is so good in every way - SPARK THE JOY and ease of being during and after
Namaste to all practising and may you. Find the flexible spark within - signing off from retreat

Thank you this practice! This video is #18 on the trending page! it's amazing that so many of us are taking care of our bodies 💚✨

I will never not enjoy a bit of knocking on Heaven's door

Namaste! Thank you for the lovely practice!

I've been practicing not looking down as I bring my feet together (really together), and I'm surprised at how centered they are along the line in the middle of my mat! It definitely did not use to be this way :) And all in the month of Align! Day 5, February 2023

Loved this session Adriene. The sun is shining and I’m feeling strong, flexible, and worthy. Thanks to the 1,824 other yogis with whom I shared this practice. Namaste 🙏🏼

Lots of plank to cobra. Very refreshing. My neck stiffness is gone. 🎉 I love downward dog right now the most! EXPAND July 2nd 2023

Great flow today and yes! I accept the invitation to gain clarity. Now... on with the day!

Ohmy this is exactly what I needed, thank you.

I was up at 4:30, the mind still trying to trap me in worry about Thursday's checkup. After an hour of trying to return to sleep, I gave up and meditated instead. Then I had some coffee, fruit and granola and took a two hour walk on this cool morning. I came to this sequence again after a bit of a nap and now am ready for the day, and for the time being, Thursday!
Nourish day 16. 408 days in a row.

I was feeling very insecure and upset today because my acne is coming back. I didn’t want to think about it anymore so I did day 2 of the calendar today. I started out feeling very upset and irritated and ended up crying at the end of the video. I’ve never felt any powerful emotions doing yoga till today, but when I told myself “I am worthy” it just opened a door for me to pour everything out on the mat. My insecurities and anger were not serving me so I left them on the mat. Thanks for helping me see my beauty Adriene. Hope you all are having a beautiful day❤️

This was really hard in parts. But I did manage to hop to the top a couple of times which was great. It shows what consistent yoga practise can do for you

Yes! Second time I've done this practice and I'm moving it to my favourites 🥰 I'm so excited to realise I'm not frantically whispering "I am strong/flexible/worthy" in an attempt to convince myself that I am anymore. I'm carefully whispering it as a simple truth now after months of practice. I feel stronger now at 52 than I ever have in my life 🥰 Day 16 of Nourish, day 140/365 in a row! I AM STRONG!

The best surprise on a Monday morning!

That was beautiful. I really feel so much more awake and thankful after that wonderful practice. Thank you Adriene, thank you Yoga With Adriene community. Namaste 🙏🏽

Spark day 13, I am strong, I am flexible, I am worthy. I really do feel these things now, I've come such a long way from my self depreciating thoughts and although I have to keep myself in check daily I am getting better and stronger mentally, physically and spiritually. Thank you for being one of my guides Adrien you've helped me so so much 💙

This one generated so much heat in my entire body. Prana in full force!!!!🙏

Amazing flow so fun and rewarding! Also the the mantras throughout namaste

Have such gratitude for YWA.

A great way to start my day!!

DAY 131 with Benji and Adriene! Thank you for making yoga a home on and off the mat!

Align day 5 🥰 that’s 35 days in a row - the most I’ve made it 🙏🏻 Namaste!

Absolutely love this practice, fiery indeed! Exactly where I was supposed to be today, on the mat and learning.

Thank you so much! Today is my birthday and this was the perfect way to end my day of celebration. A day away from ending May Bloom 2023 and almost the end of month two in my daily yoga journey. Feeling fantastic! Many thanks to everyone in the TWA community! Woo hoo!!!! 🥳🎉🍾🎂♊🎊💙🖤✨

I've done this practice several times and every time I fnd that this practice, at least for me, satisfies yet challenges what I want from a 20 minute practice. Thank you Adriene.

Flow Day 3, 20 days in a row. This was a much needed practice after a rough morning. Had to guide my boyfriend through a panic attack and since I'm not so mentally stable myself, it always affects me too. But after this practice I'm a lot calmer (and maybe a little sweaty and exhausted...) and ready to take on the rest of the day. Thank you for this beautiful video♥️

Day5. 5.Feb.2023 Done ✅⚡🌸🕊️💖

Thank you for this practice. I showed up today after a week-long absence from my practice. I greatly value my time in practice with Adriene. Her quiet wisdom and loving guidance has been a tremendous help through my grief journey. This particular one showing up today is precisely what my Spirit needs. Thank you 🙏🏾

Namaste to everyone doing Spark in July 2022!
I wasn't able to do the knocking on heaven's door at the end. My rescue dog is recovering from his first heartworm treatment (which is basically like chemotherapy😕) and he came and needed some love right as Adriene instructed the final beat of this practice. I have a feeling that snuggling one's dog is a form of yoga. I've been really anxious today, but thankful for this practice and how I'm supported in coming back to grounding in myself. Much love and hope to all who see this

Thank you for always putting out amazing content!

Here forJuly Spark Day 13/07/2022 ✅😊
🧘🏾‍♀️😌🍀🌷🌸🧘🏾‍♀️. Thank you so much Adriene🫶🏾💪🏾...I can't imagine my day starting or finishing without you, this awesome YWA community as well... I'm loving the brilliant justice these practices are doing to my body lately, even core muscles and getting me more relaxed with gr8 flexibility..I whisper too..I am strong! We are strong!
Namaste🙏🏾💚💚

Spark Day 13 - Day 559. I’m finding this month’s calendar very core heavy. Which I am handling so much better after following Adrienne now for a year and a half. So I’m appreciating the challenge and am proud of my progress. BUT…..they aren’t my favourite practices. Which is why I like following the calendars so much because if I was choosing for myself these ones would somehow get conveniently missed!😀. So thank-you Adrienne and Team! I am hoping that the August calendar might be titled Rest or Serenity or Calm or even Lazy! You get my drift! 🤣 All the best to everyone! 🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻
