Bee breath. I had no idea such thing existed but it couldn't have come at a better moment. My dad passed away 2 days ago. He loved bees and he had a lot of hives. I can't describe my grief. I smiled when I saw the video

Morning from Leeds, UK everyone! I have just done Bee Breath on day 8 of Salute to September 2024. It seems appropriate as my youngest niece is off to start University - The Arden - Manchester, UK to start an acting course - Her name is Bea! We had a farewell and Good Luck meal for her last night. My sister and brother-in-law are driving her to Manchester today to move into her student accommodation - the last one to fly the nest. I am going to share this video with them all as they might just need a little bit off bee breath calm! Good Luck Bea! x

Thanks Adriene , when covering the ears it feels like you are inside the hive ! 🐝😁✌🙏

I love pranayama's practices, they are so calming, that's what I need most in these rough times. Thank you Adriene. I wish all the community a lovely Sunday. Cheers from Switzerland.❤

I just did that and i wrote this to my notebook: whenever i practice yoga i connect a little deeper to the farthest part of my soul, with myself. Whenever I practice yoga I learn about myself in a more tender way, in a more sincere way. Whenever I practice yoga I see a bit more who I really am. I thought I would share with this community.. 💚

I love this practice... especially with the hands over the ears. Thankyou so much, Adriene xx

I did this practice a month ago, and I loved it. A month on, and I was really excited to do this one again, I found myself saying, 'yay bee breath I love this one.' Thank you Adriene, I love all your mindfulness, and yoga practices. Today is my one year 300th day, of doing daily yoga with you, and this was a great practice, to celebrate this. Thanks again Adriene, see you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏💛🐝

Salute Day 8 🙏 September 8th, 2024 Great to BE alive 🙌 Love this practice ❤ I've incorporated bee breath into my life since YWA brought my attention to this calming practice 🙏

Today, I found a dead bee in the car. She was perfectly untouched. We tried to revive her but she didn't make it🥲. We made her a tiny "coffin" altar with a citrine heart on it 🐝🙏 thank you for this

I buzzed in harmony (or dissonance) with the hum of my AC, dryer, and 300 other human bees doing the practice at the same time 🐝

omg i did this and one of my cats was very curious and even made curious meows. She jumped down from her favorite spot on our cat tree and came down to say hi. i think i spoke her language.

My day 7 of Salute 🍁 I needed this beauty today. ❤

I've had a rough couple of days and was super low energy. I didn't manage to do much yesterday besides basic self-care and watching tv. Today I wanted to jump into it again and do some Yoga but found myself struggling physically to keep up. I switched to this video instead and it really calmed my anxiety and stress. Thanks for this practise! It reminded me to be kind to myself and listen to my body instead of pushing myself too hard. 🥲

I love love love this breath technique 💜💜💜

SALUTE 🌅 | September 8, 2024 | How lovely to come back to this grounding and calming practice. I topped it off with some tai chi to get some mindful movement in. 🙏

Salute day 8❤❤

You have been a blessing in my life. Thank you .

I love your cute little black and yellow outfit 🐝🧘🏻‍♀️

unintentionally dressed in yellow and black to practise today and didn't notice until halfway through the video. opened my eyes and realised you matched too. made me smile! 🐝

Wow! I opted for the higher pitch hum, and I could literally feel my energy rise - genuinely remarkable. I did this exercise outside, and once I finished (and as I’m typing this) remarkably a single cicada came by into the tree beside me and started making its high pitch hum - and there havent been any cicadas out here all day! Think I’d love to try to integrate this practice into my routine twice daily, first in the morning with the higher pitch and then again before bed but with the lower pitch. Thanks Adriene, this one was super cool!

adriene, i cannot thank you enough. the last two months have been hard, with my mind and body finally demanding rest through pain and stiffness thats forced me to leave my job and heal, both physically and mentally. ive always been interested in yoga, but never knew where to start. your channel has truly changed my life. starting with jusy stretches and meditation, and trying for just a few minutes everyday. i dont get on the mat everyday, but im on a good streak of every other day. the movement has been so magical for my body, but also for my mind. ive cried more the past two months than in years, and i feel the tension shed from my muscles with every release of emotion as i intoduce myself to my body. im crying as i type this. i talk to my partner about how much i love your content, and how appreciative i am of your presence, and he pushed me to express my gratitude, even if you never read this. truly, thank you for what you do, what you teach. im excited to start october YWA playlist, im hoping to practice evedy day with you. much love friend❤

An interesting fact about bees is that they don't actually have lungs, so they wouldn't be able to do this practice. Although I don't think they really need it, I think that spending every day pollinating flowers would be quite peaceful even without yoga and meditation :)

I love you, Adriene and Benji! It’s great to have you both around! Thank you wholeheartedly! 🙏🏼❤

I am so grateful for you! I found your channel in February when I began doing yoga on a regular basis. I started doing yoga every day in June. I have been pleased that you have so many videos and I have been working my way through your 30 day practices and so many others. I am sorry that I don't have more to give but I just wanted to show my appreciation. Much love to you, Namaste. Laurie ❤

Oh! What a fun gift on a Saturday morning! Bee breath is my new favorite! 🐝🐝🐝

This practice was so simple yet effective!! The humming mixed with covered ears was surprisingly comforting 🐝

wow. my parasympathetic nerve has been shot after experiencing a mental breakdown from April-June. I’m now on an SSRI and working through that. This soothed me so much. Will be repeating!

Thank you Adriene, for this beautiful, calming breathe technique. Namaste!

Thanks Adriene you have taken me thru some tough days for 8 years!!

I came to this after Hero pose, the last day of Attract. I had swerved it earlier in the month as I when I first came across it in a class it was taught as breathing out through sealed lips and I hated the sensation, similarly a mental block with ‘horsey lips’. This was lovely, gentle and I practised it in Hero Pose, it may just take me beyond my aversion to sound meditation. Thank you ❤

You heal me, Adriene. All my love and gratitude. ❤ Thank you.

It is called 'Bhramri' in India.❤

I’m going to love this one so much! 🐝 🐝 🐝 I even love the bee-colored outfit! 🥰

This is a new type of pranayama for me. The best part about it was harmonizing with you, Adriene, imagining a symphony of yogis humming along.

Salute, September 8, 2024. Perfect breathing practice for stillness in the hot Sunday heat, as the intention is to beeee cool. Namaste 😁💙🖤🐝😎✨

You have no idea how much this was needed! This has been a very hectic and busy time for me. I'm getting married next week and we got a letter yesterday saying our landlord wants us to move out of our flat so she can move in so i've been very stressed to say the least! This was the first time i've physically felt my body relax in a while

Good morning Adriene! This morning I did my 321st session of yoga with you. Thank you.

brilliant beeeee❤ thank you❤

ATTRACT ⚡ | August 4, 2024 | This was a wonderful, grounding practice for me today. The vibration was so soothing. With all the changes I've had in my life recently, I've been craving some grounding, so I truly appreciated this. 🙏

You are so AWESOME!!! Sharing your practice with us is such a gift! Your kind and gentle encouragements are so uplifting and your peace is what the world needs. Thank you soooo much!!

Attract day 30🎉 done this practice again, as its the one I have chosen to be the last one I do along side my girl 🐶💔, so hard, but so glad I got one last practice with her. Thank you, Adriene, for this practice and for creating a space that feels safe and I know in the coming days it will be hard, but I will be on my mat with many happy memories of my gorgeous girl. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

So calming and peaceful. A truly magical way to start your day. Thank you ❤

I like this, I feel the peace I used to feel when humming my babies to sleep 💤 Thank you ❤

This beautiful person got me thru a rough bout of pneumonia during the Covid epidemic by reminding me how important it was to keep moving and to really breathe.❤

Had a pounding headache since the evening! This made me feel so much better instantlyyyy

I kind of feel Adrienne might be welcoming someone home..🧐🐣... Idk if im over-stepping but this would be such a happy phase for us as her yoga community , im just way to excited ig😢❤❤❤❤

Appreciating Bee breath work. I sit in my garden listening to Bees on the lavender bushes. Love this sound 🐝🐝🐝🙏💜

ATTRACT love this as enjoying some yoga practice while on travel Really find calm and ease thank you adriene with sidekick benji cosying up by side Namaste 🙏 to all practicing and May all BEE well and at ease

Attract day 4! I can see myself returning to this practice a lot, it makes my mind go blank. Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🩷🩷🩷

When I cover my ears it reminds me of the sound a singing bowl makes. This helped so much with my anxiety thank you. ❤

The reaction my body had to this really caught me off guard. When I opened my eyes I couldn’t believe what just happened and then all of a sudden I started crying. That’s not how I usually react. All I know is, that this definitely having a strong affect on my body and I will do this regularly now. Thank you for this unexpected opportunity ❤ sending love out to everybody

Thank you Adriene

Week 2, day 1 of salute! This is my first ever 30 day yoga I joined. I love seeing the difference from when I started to where I am now. Today, I am doing the big exam of my life for my career. Wish me luck guys. Lots of love in and out ❤️

Coincidentally, I am wearing black jumper pants and yellow shirt! I cannot bee-lieve it! Got a good buzz from this, thank you Adriene 🌻🐝

I find it pretty astonishing how right before I clicked on this video, I told myself I needed a nice meditation or breath work practice because I’ve been feeling so down and insecure lately, especially since I’ve been away from home and my family for the summer. Then, right when I opened RU-vid, this video was there waiting for me. I can’t stress enough how your videos come into all types of people’s lives at just the right time! This practice, even though it was short, the moment I opened my eyes after both sessions, i felt the tension fade and a sense of clarity & calm wash over me. I’ve been practicing with you for almost five years because I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder & had extremely bad depression. Now, I have my moments of uncertainty with myself and my mind, but I’m so happy that I can find your presence at just the right moment. Thank you, I love your videos & how you take moments out of your day to make ours just a little bit brighter! ❤

its strange to me, doing this feels like me again. it truly brings out emotion. it feels like i laugh and smiled genuinely again after suffering from anxiety and depression. thank you for this. will do thia every night.

I like to put one hand on my stomach and the other on my heart to feel the vibration. Thanks for the bee breath Adriene!

Nothing could be better than resuming yoga with BEE breath exercise ❤

Thanks for the Free video this morning, Adrienne I really enjoyed it. Loved this practice so much. Especially the stereo part of it when covering my ears. It made me feel like a kid again. I pray everyone enjoyed this one as much as I did.

Day 5 of Attract. This was so soothing. Thank you Adriene, this helped me get rid of a headache I had all day! ❤

My mom always advised me to do this. Have always loved doing this. But it was awesome to be guided the way you did it. God bless you 🙏

Practicing this alongside Adriene with noise-cancelling headphones, with our natural hums at the exact same tone, was an almost otherworldly experience. Definitely want to incorporate this into my regular practice!

Thank you! I remember doing this as a child when I went to bed at night! 😊😇🥰

This was AMAZING! I have chronic sinusitis and blocked ears often. The buzzing helped to balance out the air pressure in my ears and bring more clarity. Thank you!!

Thank you for this Adriene. It has been a while since I practiced any particular breathing technique and I needed this. Have a nice day everyone. Namaste🙏

There have been times on the mat when I have felt to sing or hum, simply out of joy and/or peace through my practice. Sometimes just breathing doesn't feel like enough. In the middle of round two here, my mind tapped into that space. Today I'm not alone in the room; there are noises and smells and people nearby. It's not as easy to meditate. So I sought to really swim in the sound, and then I found a song. You said it's normal to have emotion come up, and while I believed you, I certainly didn't think I would be getting emotional this time around! But I did. A sweet connection. Thank you! 💙

I have had two bats in the house in this one week. This is the calming practice I needed! Thank you!

Salute day 8; perfect way to end my day and transition to rest and sleep

My sister is having a “honey bee” themed birthday in a week and I was researching various recipes and gifts and then opened youtube and I see Adrienne had just uploaded this video!! One of those synchronistic moments that let you know the Universe is aware of you. This practice was exactly what I needed since my nervous system has been feeling jittering and anxious lately. Thank you so much!!

The bee breath was exactly what I needed to calm my anxious and nervous energy. Thank you as always. ❤

I have been learning from you for a long time. You are a wonderful teacher. Now you have shared another very important tool that can help me at any time in any place. Bee Breath is amazing. Thank you very much. ❤

I did this with my two grandkids (11 and 8) this morning here in Ottawa, Canada - thank you Adrienne! - I never have a change to thank you as I do my daily yoga on Fire tv - I'm 73, have been doing yoga with you for 2 and a half years and I am in great shape - I had to see a speacilist for fasciitis last year and after careful exam on my muscle system to rule out other possibilities the young man told me: when I grow up I want to be like you

I really loved it laying down and placing my hands over my ears

I found your channel at the beginning of my postpartum period and you have made the last 6months (and listening to what my body needs) so much better. Thank you for sharing 🫶🏼

Attract day 4🎉 thank you, Adriene, I loved this bee breath practice, will be a good one to come back to on days when it feels like everything is building up and I need to take a short break. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

❤❤❤thank you so much and i am definitely going to teach it my yoga class today

I love the bee breath. It's so helpful to calm the mind, if you can't just sit in silence...thank you 🙏😊🩷

Salute. September 8. 1435 days.

i've noticed that this breath is something i've been doing intuitively when i needed to regulate myself, eg in overwhelming social situations or when i'm outside somewhere but need to calm down - glad i now have a full practice for it :)

Thank you Adriene this was such a fresh practice ❤ I usually chant Aum which gives me a similar sensation but bee humming is a fun alternative! Thank you dear.

The bee breath. When i was a kid 8-9 years old i would hum as i ate my food. It got on everybody's nerves. Just a gentle hum when chewing my food.

This was very positive for me. The first set I felt a slight tingle in my extremities. The second set, as soon as our voices synced, just like you said, I started welling up with tears and instead of taking a break I finished with you and it felt like a weight has been lifted. It makes me think of the science experiment where if you strike a tuning fork and let it ring out, any other tuning forks in the room with the Same Frequency begin to vibrate on their own without being struck! But all the unlike frequencies are unaffected… This is Amazingly Powerful, as are You. All the Thank yous are comin’ Atcha!!! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

I always try rescuing bees if I find them on the pavement by carrying them to a flower or giving them a tiny bit of sugar water. I really enjoyed this practice. I think this is one of my favourites breaths - it makes me feel grounded, but also lighter.

coming back to yoga and your channel is just like coming back home 🩷 sending love 🙏🏼

Salute l 🦋❤️🦋l Day 8 was practiced on Day 9 l as I have been fighting a cold for 3 days now. I didn't feel well enough to practice yesterday, yet I'm feeling much better today. This practice is always calming. Now, it's time for my extended chakra balancing meditation on my journey to complete healing once I do my nettie pot ritual which is awesome for a cold. I chose the honey 🍯 bee 🐝. Which bee were you all? Best wishes, everyone! 🦋❤️🦋🙏🏿🤞🏿

The bee breath is new to me and very easy to do!

Feels really good after a long yoga brake, jumping in again 😊

love this, I often find humming helps me ground and get out any emotions that are balled in my chest

Felt a little silly at the beginning of this practice and that made me smile. I'm not really looking forward to the rest of this day but I'm glad I'm starting it with a little lift in my spirits. Here's to being silly little bees!

This is a new pranayama for me! Though I had a friend who was a music therapy major that had a similar thing as an exercise she did, so brought up some memories. I have a chess tournament the weekend of the 10th, so some sort of relaxation breathing technique seems helpful. Might work out more of a silent version of this one. Day 523 of the current run.

Thank you so much, Adrienne. Goong through anxiety and yesterday went through a panick attack and this is just a MUST from now on. I would love some mudra content if you feel like it some day. Much love ❤

i cant BEElieve how well this worked!

Salute Day 8 ✅️ Thank you! 🐝 🍃

I was a bee keeper for five years until it became too expensive to recolonize my hives if they didn’t make it through winter, so this really put a smile on my face. I also loved how it warmed and soothed my throat as I’m still dealing with bronchitis after three weeks of coughing. It was very comforting!❤🐝 PS fun fact honeybees have fuzzy bottoms!

How have I never come across this before!!!? Thank you Adrienne ❤

Bee breath was super soothing, thank you for sharing Adriene!

This practice has been lovely, to ease into the day. Thank you, Adriene ❤

Benji is so chilled out 😄 Such a wholesome, positive companion, thank you buddy (and thank you Adriene for letting us see him) 🤗🐶

Ive used this at the beginning of my vocal warm up for singing, to connect to my body and my voice, before continuing to other vocal exercises. 😊
