Center - Day 9 - Corazón 

These sessions are such a gift, particularly when you imagine all the other people in the world practicing and centering themselves alongside you. What a beautiful image to begin the day! Thank you Adriene and team for building this community, and for the other yogis who left such inspiring comments.

Felt so unstable this morning. Cried my heart out before yoga. I'm 57 and have the feeling that I just don't fit in anymore. I am tired. I just want nature, tranquillity, peace. After corazón and reading through your lovely comments I feel better. Thank you Adriene, thanks everyone.

My dog, my cat and my partner all gathered round the living room to come watch me do today's practice. It was beautiful to whisper "I feel safe" with all this love surrounding me.

I've tried to do the 30 day challenge every year for the past 5 years or so, and never made it. I don't know what's different this year, but I'm rocking it 🤣 Today my body felt a little tight and nothing was easy, but I pushed through and definitely am not giving up. Just needed to share that with all you beautiful people rocking it with me 😍

Hey, my February 2024 friends. It’s great that you are here😌 See you tomorrow:)

I always love scrolling through these comments and seeing how lovely and supportive all of us strangers are to onr another. I work from home and so even this little bit of community interaction is such a positive addition to my every day. I hope wherever you are, whatever you're going through that you get to enjoy these moments of healing and connection with your body.

Having a hard time staying committed. Shoutout to all the late comers who are still here!

Today's practice was so lovely. Whenever anything feels difficult I think of all the people around the world trying to do this with me. We all made it to the mat today, and I'm proud of all of us. My yoga family, I hope you all have a lovely day today and have your hearts filled with ease and love.❤

23:32 "To the humble hearts club, to the wild hearts club, to the whole hearts club, love you guys." What a beautifully poetic way to close this practice, humble, wild, and whole 🙏 20 more days to go! If you're reading this, THANK YOU for continuing to show up with me! WE ARE STRONG 💪

Thankyou Adriene and thankyou all for your loving comments. This is not only yoga, it is also peace work. Have a nice day everyone!

I am behind a few days, but I am committed to finishing this challenge. School is getting busy but I'm showing up for my intention :). I hope everyone is finding love and healing

I’m screenshotting my favorite pose from each day so in the end I’ll have a lovely customized practice for myself 😊 Just a tip for you fellow yogis out there! ❤️

I did not feel great today. The Corazon routine wasn’t hard (it just builds nicely off day 1-6) but it was hard for me to do. My feet were so sore and every time she said, “send your hips back,” I thought, “ugh, I *hate* downward-facing dog.” My breathing wasn’t in sync, and I wasn’t in a good headspace, constantly getting distracted and frustrated even before leaving the puppy pose, but I pushed through. It was not my best practice, but I did it. There is something empowering about that.

Yay, it was a day with Namaste. I can’t explain why, but it makes me feel soft and seen when she ends the practice with that phrase. It’s like a mother’s kiss on the forehead ❤

I quit drinking 6 days ago and instead I’m doing these amazing yoga sessions before and after work each day. I haven’t gotten a lot of movement this winter and this is getting me started on some kind of fitness journey. I always come back to Adriene when i need a fresh start and her sessions always bring me to my happy place! Have a great day y’all wherever you’re at on your journey.

Saying the words "I am safe" out loud had a profound effect on me - something I was not expecting at all. As the words left my mouth my soul trembled and tears ran down my face in torrents. A really powerful experience. Thank you, beautiful Adriene x

for anyone else who is still here: i am also here today, and still going forward. keep going! you are rocking it!

Holy guacamole my tummy is still tender from day 6 lol but did this one and loved it. So glad I can practic on the day with everyone else ❤️ Namaste everyone, happy day 9!!

I’ve been waiting for the first „Namaste“ of this journey and it felt SO nice❤ I do it everytime I’m on the mat. Recognizing the light in you, Benji, the community and the people in my life before I step off the mat is honestly one of the most wholesome things in my experience. Every single time, this feels like an „honest“ moment, if that makes sense to anybody. Love you, thank you for your work, it’s an honor to practice with you. ❤

Namaste 🙏 The namaste really does make a difference. It closes a practice properly somehow. Thank you, Adriene and the 6000 practicing with me this morning!

For anyone that is struggling..all today I was telling myself I would skip a day, I was ill and felt over whelmed. All day I told myself I couldn't possibly do it. Yet I made it to the mat, did 90% of the moves and feel sooo much better afterwards. My head is clear and I feel a lot better ☺️💫

I struggle with anorexia and trauma, and after so long of feeling dissociated from my body and mind, yoga is helping me to connect with the real me again 💕 I’m now 1 year in recovery and I’m ready to feel strong again 🥰

The best yoga class in the world is actually including the whole world, the power of connection is real 🤩

Today’s practice was a bit more challenging for some reason. Perhaps I had more on my mind. Yet, we completed it. Good job everyone! Day 9, Check! ✅💛🦋

I don't know why but I love the image behind Humble Warrior. The idea of representing both a powerful thing yet a yielding one at the same time feels beautiful to me. Like a warrior in a garden lol Thank you for this lovely practice ✨⭐

Really liked today's practice! Day 9 complete! (anyone else doing this in March 2024?)

“Thank you! Eight little letters, one little space, tell you the reason for the smile on my face! I want you to know that for all that you do I sincerely appreciate, love, and thank you!” - Doe Zantamata Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Adriene & Benji! 🙏🏼💜

It was nice to know that despite doing this practice eight days late, 162 other people around the world were still doing it along with me

Got a live one for the first time ever!

Everyone, take this love in the comments section and go spread it to everyone as you move through the world. This energy has the power to completely shift the collective in such a loving direction. Feel so lucky to be practicing with such kind, genuine, open hearted human beings all across the world. Thank you Adriene for leading us through 🤍

How strong are our cores getting?! Phoar! Strong body helps create a strong mind. Heart opening asanas were beautiful, you can feel the love in here. Thank you everyone for being so authentic 🍃🍂🍁💚

Thank you to the 35 people to practiced Day 9 with me today! I always dread heart openers due to a childhood shoulder injury that limits my mobility. This one was physically tough for me, so I loved the reminder that I am safe. ❤

🌞Day 9 ❤🌞 …and I’m getting of the mat a little emotional. Didn’t know I needed to hear the ‘I’m save’ mantra so much. Thank you Adriene for giving me the tools to make myself feel save. I’m taking the feeling I got with me. Have a wonderful and save day everyone!

I'm going at my own pace, but in order. I have loved every video so far!

I got my period this morning, woke up from pain but still decided to show up. Throughout the practice the pain subsided and I feel less anxious then when I woke up ☺️💖❤️ thank you Adrienne for the lovely 30 day challenge. Knowing there's something here for me everyday, helps me come to the mat. Have a lovely day everyone and if you're not feeling 100% you can always be extra kind to yourself during the practice and if somethings too much for you today that's okay, every day will be different to the body. Sometimes it's just about showing up. Have a good day everyone 😊

Early morning yoga before the kids wake starts the day well. I use these videos as a recovery from running. Yoga with Adriene is where I always send friends wanting to try yoga. This morning our dogs were not content to lay on the couch while I practiced, so it was doggie yoga for much of it! Dogs needed attention, so I tried to find ways to marry the two needs. Love how I feel after these practices! Continuing to use these 31 days practices even if it isn’t January.

A perfect practice for such a lovely heartful community!! You are blessed to have all these beautiful people supporting you and each other!

Any yoga practice that includes taking the time to look at the teacher's dog is A+ in my book. Today's practice was wonderful

Good morning from Spain. What a lovely session and mantra. How fortunate and blessed we are to be able to say "I am safe" in a world that seems to be tearing itself apart. Thank you Adriene for another marvelous 30 day program.💖 I can't think of a better way to start the year. ☺️

Day 9 ❤ done. I needed this today, and it feels great to know others around the World are doing it together. Thanks to the whole community. See you tomorrow. Namaste.

Good morning ! I try to write something : I am french, and I discovered this practice thanks to my son. Thank you Adriene for this gift which makes me so good !!

Today was one of my favorite practices ever, it felt so relaxed yet strong and powerful at the same time. And then the mantra, I am safe. That threw me off at first. I wasn't expecting to tell myself that today I guess... and yet I found it so calming and reassuring. Thank you Adriene over the years you have seriously and literally changed my life. Much love to you and this entire community.

"I am safe" glorious ✨💖. From my heart to yours Adriene... I send You so much love, peace and beauty 💞 love You too, see You tomorrow 😘

Everyday I come to make a comment and read a bunch of lovely comments. Today, I read exactly what I needed to. Halfway through I started to feel disappointed in myself for shaking, but I quickly remembered my muscles are strengthening by shaking! Sometimes I need to be kind to my own heart and not be so hard on myself. ❤ Happy practicing!

good morning! 7 am here in Europe, Hungary, and cant wait to be on the mat with all of you beutiful people

I made a commitment to try and fill my self time with as much quality as I can for 2023. Yoga with Adriene has been a wonderful addition ❤. Thank you Adriene and Benji ❤

I really enjoyed today, thank you. It's my mum's funeral today, and this programme is really helping me through a tough time in my wee corner of the UK...xx

I was doubting showing up today and had to convince myself and now that I finished the session I am honestly happy to be here! Everyday just exploring a new layer and adding love to my cup.

Wow, I was very wobbly today. I hope I wasn't the only one! 😅 It's funny: before I went to sleep last night I read a chapter called Celebrate Your Safety, based on Ephesians 1:13-14, so that mantra had extra-deep meaning for me this morning. I hope you're all having a fantastic 2nd week of this journey; and if you're feeling discouraged or thinking of giving up, well, if I'm going to show up tomorrow after all this wobbliness, I hope you will too. 😍

Another beautiful session. I feel safe in my daily practice, and I feel safe in this wonderful community. Much love, everyone. From my corazón to yours ❤️

I mean seriously, now come I didn't know about Adriene before! I feel SO grateful that life bought her to me and I'm LOVING this Center daily practice. My body is loving it too. Blessings to all the fellow yogis taking this 30-day yoga journey, I think of you often when I'm on the mat xx

Again with another wonderful practice! I am in college and I find myself sitting and hunching a lot. This practice felt great to my chest, back, and shoulders. Now I feel ready to take on another day. Congrats to all those who have come this far!! ❤️

Who else is impressed to do yoga with other 3000 persons together during the live ? 🤗 Hi from Germany !

I’m loving this 30 days of yoga journey so much!!!! Todays practice is special ❤️

Loved the humble warrior posture! It was challenging but so rewarding!

My 11-year-old nephew has been joining me in this 30-day journey, and it's been so fun having him with me! It's not quite as easy to lose oneself in a flow, but there is a lot more giggles. :) He doesn't speak much English and he really was excited to see that today's title was in his language.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a beautiful morning routine with this practice. I discovered I prefer doing this challenge in the evening, it just goes better, my body is more flexible, and it helps me to quiet down after a busy day, but today I only had time in the morning and decided to try it! It was difficult physically, my muscles are not very flexible first thing in the morning, but I did it! Good luck to us all on this journey, see you tomorrow! 😍💓

My heels touched the ground in downward dog!!! First time! Wow! 🎉🎉🎉 Seven years ago I discovered Adrienne when I needed a cheap option to rehab an injured foot/ankle because I didn’t have insurance. After doing yoga on and off all these years I’ve finally experienced the glorious sensation of my entire foot touching the mat in downward dog (I loathe downward dog lol). I’m so pumped.

So nice to see the comments from you all around the world and practice together!!

Adriene, you have been such an inspiration. In the last five years, I have battled cancer twice and transformed my life. Yoga with you has been the final push to wellness for me. I have struggled with lymphedema after surgery and it limited my options for being active. I have been able to do these practices and I feel incredible after. Thank you for all you do!

Loved this practice, and first time up at 6am for it!

“I am safe”. How uneasy one feels when safety is lost, not just from our surroundings but from our inside. Thank you Adrienne for this beautiful reminder I love you ❤️

I’ve more aware of my posture throughout the day. So, thankful for these practices and yoga community. Thank you guys for showing up.

I had so much trouble getting out of bed this morning so yoga did not happen before I had to go to work, but now that I'm home again, I settled right in to today's practice! I was surprised at how quickly this practice seemed to go by. Such a nice flow!

When I woke up today, the first thing on my mind was that I wanted to do today's yoga practice! This journey really is transforming my habits and relationship with yoga. Not every day is this easy to get to the mat, but the habits are being built. Thank you, Adriene!

I was listening to a song called humble hearts right before this practice so when you said it at the end it was so synchronistic

I had an awful dream last night, all my friends and family abandoned me, and whilst I know they love me dearly I woke up feeling heavy hearted. Thus practice was just what I need, it's as if Adrienne always knows!

I am loving this...I have made all 9 days and truly feel the love and support of the community...even though it is virtual. Thank you Adriene and Benji for sharing your expertise, care, love and support. Namaste.

Burst into tears with today's affirmation. "I am safe". As someone who experienced deep levels of childhood trauma, this hit my heart center deeper than I expected. Also see that there are 555 comments, I'll be leaving the 556th comment. I feel so in divine flow, thank you for this heart centering practice Adriene. This journey has been amazing so far!

Today fit just perfectly. in every way. physical and spiritual. You are not behind if you are doing this "late" or you miss a day or 2, Keep showing up when you can.

Completely sobbed when we said "I am safe." In this moment I did, thank you Adriene 🖤

This practice was so needed, even though I spent ages procrastinating beforehand! It's so easy to neglect the heart space - I also loved the belly/heart breathing at the end

I had open heart surgery a little over six months ago, so a practice like this couldn’t have been more perfect! ❤

This is my third go-around with Center, and my gratitude continues to grow. As a delightful addition today, Adrienne wished us all “Namaste.”

Good morning my wonderful yoga family. See each other on the mat.

8:05 I’m 66, this year and started yoga the first month of the pandemic, I’ve done all of the 30 day challenges and some two or three times, and this is my favorite! I love the length of each one, they’re simple and so satisfying. Benji is very entertaining in this challenge, love the move on the ledge. Adrienne not sure how you remain so kind, funny, loving and such an inspired teacher. You’ve really transformed my life with this daily yoga practice, thank you

Tonight my partner and I were doing some hard (but good and important) work on our relationship and I was kind of a mess as I came to the mat. This was such a gift. I have calm and clarity. My thoughts are not racing, I am filled with a greater sense of trust and my nervous system is regulated. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I never usually comment...on anything, but I feel the need to today after finishing Day 9. I am a 1st grade teacher and mama to an energetic 3 year old girl. As you can imagine, life is hectic, messy, and loud. I often feel like I don't get a moment to breathe or pause, let alone time for myself. I have occasionally done yoga with Adriene but never the 30 day challenges, it was always hard for me to commit the precious time or energy that I was already experiencing a deficit in. On a whim (or quiet call of my intuition) I decided that now is the time and that I desperately need a consistent loving practice, something just for me. I cannot believe I have done 9 days of this yoga challenge. Each day I begin to crave the time on the mat early in the morning or after my little one goes to bed. It has so quickly become a sanctuary and an extremely precious moment of peace for me. Thank you, Adriene, for making so easy to show up, for creating this space for people like me to carve out that time for some much needed tranquility and self nurturing. Thank you, Adriene, for helping me to feel worthy of spending 20-30 minutes on myself. What a gorgeous gift. Warmly, Callie.

this is my first time following one of these journeys live, so I just thought I would drop in and say hello! Thank you to everyone in these comments for always spreading kindness and uplifting words.. I am glad to be connected with all of you in this practice.

It's been a rocky start to 2023 for me. This was a nurturing practice my body & mind needed

Hello lovely people! A lovely practice again today, I always feel relaxed, peaceful but energised when I’ve done these sessions. Ready for the day in a cold, very wet and still raining UK! Happy day to us all, whatever the weather 😊

Hi everyone🙂 I am 22 years old and I usually participate in running, hockey, and weight lifting. Last August, I injured my knee but continued competing in my sports. I began my spiritual journey in 2021 and regularly practice meditation. For some reason I never participated in yoga until now because I realized that I needed to focus on flexibility and low impact physical activity for my knee to heal. This 30 day yoga journey has led me to find my love for yoga and I am only on Day 9. I love participating in another mindfulness practice each day. I cannot believe how physically challenging I find it despite my experience with physical activity haha. I am already noticing an improvement in my flexibility and I love feeling energized and relaxed at the end of this practice. Thank you so much for these lovely yoga practices. I already know that I will be participating in your previous ones in the future. Take care💌

Namaste, all you yogis. I know we're not even halfway through but I'm already sad for the day that this series ends. This has been so wholesome. 🙏

"I feel safe." ... so unexpected, and so appropriate this morning when I am getting ready to have surgery in a few hours... Thank you 🙏💕

Good morning from Vienna ❤️ I made it out of bed! You are such a lovely person, Adriene and a truly wonderful teacher. Thank you so much. 🙏 And it is actually the community that gets me out of bed at 6.30 am. It is awesome to practice with so many people from all the countries of the world. Thank you so much for helping me to create a new habit. I really love it having more hours of the day. 🌞🙏🏳️‍🌈💕

I just had the most beautiful ending to todays practice! It’s pretty cloudy where I live, but I still had my window shades open to get some natural light in my home. Right as you said “Namaste”, and I repeated it back, a crack in the clouds appeared and bright sunlight light up my living room and my life. I just wanted to share that because it was really special to me and we are all on this journey together 😊 Thank you for another amazing day of yoga and meditation! Sending loving energy to anyone reading this 💚

Doing Day 9 on Feb 1st and I'm proud of myself. Let's go!!!

I was feeling really down today, because of some (minor) health issues. This practise helped me to love my body again and to focus on the positive ❤️

United in a wild and humble heart's club - this was so beautiful! Thank you so much, Adriene, for today's rize into such a clear and open hearted practice! I tend to expect the world being peaceful and beautiful today - tenderly step ahead into life. Thank you!

I'm behind but so glad to be in the moment with all of you. I feel safe, corazon! ❤

Omg I cried. I can't today! I have so much going on and this video really hit different this morning. Thank you Adrienne for all you do for us!!! I'm back on my weight loss journey. This time 0 sugar!!! Im giving up all that sweet stuff I shouldnt have because I'm tried of my body and my belly hurting!!! Wish me luck everyone. I've already succeeded in losing about 50 lbs but I need to lose more. Prayers for me if you pray thanks!!

You always know exactly what we need for a given day. I don't know how you do it. Thankful for the safe space you create for us 🙏🏽 ♡

Here's to this beautiful humble hearts club. I feel my practice is fragile as crystal, I still fear doing anything that could break it. I walk holding hands with it so quietly. But still showing up bravely. Thank you and Namaste querida Adriene ♥

This is my first 30-day challenge. (I was late to the party last year, didn't commit to it, and ended up joining in for just a handful of sessions). I've been proud of myself for showing up every day thus far, but yesterday I was exhausted after a long day with little sleep the previous night. If I were just tired I would have loved doing the cozy, restorative Melt practice. But I collapsed into bed when I got home and decided to watch/ listen along with the practice instead, which was still very comforting. Today I'm still feeling a little low, so I'm going to do yesterday's practice today. Hoping to feel well enough to participate in tomorrow's practice, but I'll play it by ear. In the past I would have beaten myself up about not being perfect and completing everything the way I had intended. But now, I'm listening to my body and accepting God's grace in what I can do and remembering to be grateful for this time, for what Adriene is so sweetly offering, and for the community of people here practicing with me.

I am new at all this, my daughter is studying to become a yoga teacher. I began following you at her advice. I love starting my day with this wholeheartedness of yoga. I light my candle, crack my window for sounds of morning birds, and get my coffee and start my day with your 30 day center, and while you have Benji there, I have my ole buddy, my girl, Sara, by my side. She's a black and blue spotted rat terrier mix rescue. :) Much love! Thank you for helping me breathe and center.

Just when I think these sessions couldn’t get any better, they do! Today’s class was PERFECT! Thank you, Adrienne, from my very peaceful heart! Blessings to you!

I think my cat likes your voice, because every time i start one of your videos, she joins me... I love this challenge: it really helps me! It had been a long time since i did any kind of exercise, so i'm really proud of myself for doing these 9 days! Thank you for all the good things you help me bring to my life! ❤️

Sometimes I can't hold some of the poses, but the instruction to look at Benji I followed dutifully! Thank you for this whole experience, you are a big part of why I love January so much.

Good morning beautiful community! Thanks a lot for this heart-warming practise, Adriene. Yesterday I needed some extra selflove and practised the 50 minutes wirh you and now this lovely support! Just the right time. And it's my first morning I can practise live with all of you early birds during the premire. Looking forward to tomorrow. Lots of love!

I usually do my yoga when I come home from work, since I’m absolutely not a morning person. The great thing about that is that I get to read the email of the day at work and then really look forward to my time at the mat when I get home. Thank you Adrienne, and all of you, for sending such amazing energy every day!
