Flow - Day 19 - Ride 

I know that around this point in the journey it can get more challenging to keep up the great work and to show up to the mat with enthusiasm and rigor. But listen - you got this far - and guess what? You can show up with whatever you have. This ride is about being present with what is. YOU GOT THIS! Let’s RIDE!

To day for the first time after years of yoga I was able to step straight to a lunge from down dog in one rather than the two step process I normally do 😊. That is a goal I've reached and I'm proud of . So greatful to be in this loving community reading people's comments warms my soul ❤❤

'Laugh, Fall, Fart' is the new 'Live, Laugh, Love'

I struggled today, needing multiple breaks because I’m sick, and completely failing with balancing. The important thing is, we all showed up. No matter how it went, that’s an achievement ☺️

🎉Happy Birthday to me. 76 years young and still doing Yoga with Adrienne. Thanks to Yoga I am here. 🎉 This challenge seems to have a softer, gentle Adrienne. THANKS Adrienne and this community for inspiring me to the mat. Think I'll have a beer to celebrate😮❤

I got a really bad cut on my thumb yesterday evening, and had to go to the ER to get 4 stitches. I was very frustrated that I wouldn’t be able to complete this yoga series, but then I received Adriane’s email, reminding me to come as I am. I am very proud to say that I have done this session, with a lot of modifications to not use my right hand, but I did it. I couldn’t be happier 🌷 Kuddos to everyone doing this, powering through obstacles and meeting themselves where they’re at ❤

When Adrienne says "Welcome to Flow" I feel so warm and grateful. My name is Flo

I'll never get tired of seeing Benji sleeping near you and the two of you having your sweet moments together! My cats like to come around me when I do yoga, too. Such a blessing 🙏🏼

It’s been easier to show up every morning this go-round and I think part of that is that the flows are all less than 30 minutes so it’s been easier to incorporate into my routine. Grateful for YWA. 🙏

I felt really unmotivated this morning and convinced myself to show up by telling myself I could stop at any point. Ended up really enjoying this practice and being in a much better mood afterwards! The hardest part truly is showing up, so congrats to us that we keep showing up!😊

I have been interrupted by my kids at least 3 times 😂 does it still count? I think so! Happy Saturday everyone 😊

This is the first day that I consciously noticed how much stronger I've gotten since Day 1! Reaching out with opposite hand and leg was much more stable today than it has been throughout this journey, and boat at the end has never felt so easy! Whether you notice it or not, you are getting stronger!!

This 30 day challenge has been amazing! Thank you, Adriene!

Hi everyone. This is a very beautiful flow. The type that I tend to get into a lot😅. Congratulations. We've made it this far🎉. Despite whatever obstacles we faced, we are still here. True definition of perseverance. I'm proud of us all. Have a great day and I hope to see you again tomorrow.

Adriene, I Was about to comment, "you've outdone yourself today". However I had a moment of realization that you bring the script and I make my movie. We are all doing outstanding, together. Love for all of you here, or there- everywhere. Namaste

This is one of those practices that really demonstrates the benefits of yoga both on and off the mat. As I flow and celebrate one cycle of breath between poses, I feel myself move through my day. Breathe in, walk into a potentially stressful situation; breathe out, let it go and stay embodied. Breathe in, look both ways and cross the street; breathe out, turn the corner. Breathe in, start a new project; breathe out, remember I am capable. Thank you Adriene + Benji for teaching us how to remember our beautiful humanity. We are human BEINGS (not doings). ♥

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever been so connected to my breath. Absolutely loved this “Ride”! Thank you, Adriene!

Today I noticed I wasn’t as tired after doing the housework. I attribute it to being consistent with this months live videos and not wanting to miss a day. I colour in each session on my habit tracker and I don’t want to see any blanks. Working so far 😊🙏🏼💪🇦🇺

I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this yoga platform.

Yes!!! My always wobbly feet and me did this!!! We didn't fall once! Obviously, we wobbled a bit but who cares!!! 😂🎉 Have a great Saturday everyone! 😊

Recovering from an autistic burnout, this journey is a wonderful way to get back in the flow 💖

Third day of January my husband had a stroke and was suddenly committed to the hospital. Second day of January, as many other people, I had done the first day of Flow. I had decided to commit to it. Throughout what has turned out to be the most difficult January of my life, you can not imagine the strength, warmth and much needed routine and rooting this daily yoga practice has brought me - a place to come back to myself. I have cried and laughed, tears of fear and relief. My husband is back home and recovering from a surgery, he is getting stronger every day - and so I am, as I continue to master my downward dogs with a little bit stronger arms and legs every day.

Posting this because i took a long break between last class and this class and I am so glad to be back on this journey. I have never completed a fitness challenge like this before and this is the first year ive stopped being my own enemy when I make mistakes/miss classes. Hoping to complete this challenge by the end of the year and even just doing that would make me happy

Day 19. Today was one of the days when I struggle to even get out of the bed. It took me whole morning to drag myself to the mat and even then I started the practice in my hoodie, ready to make it easier for myself and skip the difficult poses. But my body was rested after yesterday's meditation and so I was actually able to follow through the whole practice. I feel better now. Still not good, but better. I'm grateful for this opportunity to be led through a part of my day, the opportunity to move and do something for myself. Something that my future self will always thank me for. Thank you, Adriene, Benji, everyone. Have a nice day. 💛

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Flow Day - 19 of Ride is internally refreshing with a major energy shift. Ah, that was great. It is almost 10:30 P.M. EST Now, it's time to practice yoga nidra (sleep meditation 🧘🏿). I hope I have energy to write ✍🏿 afterwards. Have a pleasant night yogis. 🦋❤️🦋😊

Extremely grateful for this journey with Adriene and all the wonderful people here. Only a little over a year in following and practicing and at 70 years old I can say, it is never too late! Thank you so much!❤

This was truly a RIDE! 4 years ago I would have struggled with this one. I sit here with a huge, ridiculous grin, pleased and grateful for this self care that I totally deserve. Thank you, Adriene, for sharing your time with us, once again, much love❤

This is the perfect practice to save to your favourite playlist as it gets the blood pumping and recaps a lot of poses, that once you can master, make you feel like a professional yogi. If you can complete this practice, it shows how far you’ve come with stamina and movement, I think. Well done everyone 😊 Day 19 ✔

Picking this 30-day journey back up after having to take breaks during Jan. due to getting the flu and pulling my neck. So far I realize that the yoga I've been doing regularly is most often in my comfort zone, and this 30-day journey continues to challenge and expand my practice. Onwards!

The intention I chose at the beginning of the practice is to be kind to myself. I realise more and more that that is exactly what this journey is about for me; learning more about what being kind to myself entails, as well as learning to be more kind to myself. I have a hard time being consistent, and I've learnt that it's about chosing to do what I know is good for me everyday more than it is about forcing myself into routine. It is kind to myself to do yoga every day even if I am not particularly excited about it that day, and it is also kind to myself to not beat myself up when I don't do it. I'm used to trying to force myself into routine, and then giving up and feeling like I failed when I inevitably skip a day (or a few). This time around I really try to give myself grace; I already was a few days behind and yesterday I didn't practice again. I notice wanting to do an extra session some days so I can catch up, or skipping some videos to catch up, but I am practicing being okay with 'being behind'. It is easier for me to push myself forward or give up than it is to allow myself to be imperfect, so I'm sitting with that uncomfortable feeling as I do each practice when I get to it. This is what feels good to my body, this is what will make me proud at the end (even if a few days later than the rest), completing this 30 day journey on my own terms instead of morphing it to what I think is expected.

I began on January 1st & two months later, I’m still on my journey 🐢 I’m so grateful for the ability to join at a pace that’s comfortable for my chronic & acute illnesses, mental health, & physical disabilities 🧘🏻‍♀️

I'm just so happy to be here. This was one of my favorite practices during this journey so far! I'm so proud of everyone who has stuck with it this far. I can't wait for the next 11 days!

After two years of regualr practice this is the first time that I’ve managed to keep up with a flow sequence. I must be getting stronger. Thank you, Adriene.

NGL benji's prompt to be still and to look out to the horizon is what I am leaving the mat with! thanks puppers! AND YES! I also love this one, added to my faves.🐕🥰

Today I was able to go straight into plank every time rather than my usual option of half plank or all fours. 😊 Happy day 19 everyone!❤

I have been practicing Yoga with Adriene for about three years now. Before then I would practice on and off. I always liked yoga. I am stronger and healthier now. YWA is also therapeutic for me. If I miss a day I feel off. I feel fortunate to share space on earth with you Adriene, all the followers of YWA, and everyone else too.

So so many great things about practice today 🙏 the timing ✅ the energy ✅ the heart openings ✅ the ebb and the flow ✅ the value and advocacy you radiate, Adrienne ✅... I practice regularly 🧘‍♀️ but this (my first) 30 day 'flow' with you and this community, feels transformative... The Love and Light in Me...Honours the Love and Light in Everyone Here 🙏 Namaste❤

The best way to start my birthday 🥰💫💛🧘‍♀🙏

This flow was floooowing…. I was little wobbly but I felt strong today… 💪🏾 Happy Saturday everyone!

I am re-doing this 30 day journey as I was unable to finish it in January. I had only made it to day 18 last time, so here we are pushing forward! I have had no better teacher than you Adriene, thank you thank you thank you! So much gratitude for you and this lovely community. Many blessings, and much love to all. Namaste

Greetings from Day 19 - I am certain I laughed, smiled, fell and farted with today's journey. I felt my breath through most of the movements today. Grateful to be here.

I manifest that everything else in my life starts feeling as effortless as following this series.

Today was an absolute delight! My breath and movement were the most connected they’ve been so far, and I really enjoyed the practice. This is such a wonderful experience! ❤

Thank you! By now I can really feel the change, not only in a sense of habit, but also in the feel of power and uplift/flow of the postures in the body.

Whoa Neddy! That was fast! Struggling with vertigo today, but showed up, took care and did it. It's awesome that we're all here everyday. Have a beautiful day everyone 🤗💞💖💞

Made it just before the wire! I'm going on a run for the first time in a long time tomorrow afternoon and I honestly don't think I'd be able to without these daily practices. Thank you Adrienne and company! And thanks to all the great people in the comments. You rock and you've got this too! 🙏🧘🏼

If you would not be here I would not, this is my only promise to myselve at the New year that I haven not break. And its because so many of us doing it together thank you for giving me strength and leading by example. ❤️ YWA❤️

Day 19, February 12th. I was in boat with straight legs for couple of seconds, my legs tremble but I did it. I'm getting stronger 🎉. Thanks, Adriene and Benji ❤❤❤ Lots of loving to all ❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏 ❤

Did this on the Eve of my 27th birthday and what a wholehearted gratitude I feel for being alive and in my body ❤ thank you Adriene!

This challenge is my favorite so far. Maybe it's because I really needed it this year. Became a mom in 2023, now ready to find my way back to selfcare ❤ Namaste

Ah, I feel like I just floated down a mountain and the mountain was me. Beautiful session! Thank you, Adriene, for your graceful lead.

I think this was my favourite practice so far of this 30 day journey. 💚

FLOW 🌊 | Day 19 | Ride | January 20, 2024 | Thank you for taking us along on this beautiful ride Adriene - this particular one, and the bigger one. There's something so soothing about lining up the rhythm of breath and movement. I love the dancer, and the work we did before it in this warming flow set me up for stability and perfect balance. 🙏

My favourite sequence so far! Namaste Adriene!

Each day's title really matches whatever is happening in my day! It's crazy! I do have a big ride today with work. Yesterday, I really needed to just meditate. Tomorrow, I'm taking a break, so yes, turning inward is what I need. The same happened for all the days before that!

So I am behind just finished this video but not giving up. This year is start to fresh and new after a hard 2023. Thank you for this 30 days to get into new year with peace

Just need to say, Benji is the coolest dude. He really helps bring the chill vibes 😂❤

I loved the flowiness of today’s practice. It felt like something clicked in my brain, body, and breath and I moved effortlessly.

The amount of joy that comes out of hearing you talk to Benji or include him in the practices is so immense!!

I was so excited to see that today's practice was focused on gratitude! I was reading a book about an hour ago and the chapter I was up to talks about gratitude! After reading it, I had decided that I want to focus on being grateful to God for where I am now in life, even though it is challenging. I know there is a purpose for the struggle and I will come out stronger because of it. I then open up your beautiful email that comes everyday and I see the word gratitude! An affirmation that this is an area I need to focus on. Thank You God for letting me see and understand your messages! I really enjoyed the fast paced practice and riding the waves with my breath. I don't know how you talk and breath and focus and move all at the same time! You're an amazing teacher, Adriene. Thank you so much! I feel my physical body getting so much stronger!

"Notice how you feel." I felt my heartbeat in my fingertips

i was worried yesterday you said you'd bring the fire! but that was great. more like the wind. i am getting stronger too. thanks adriene, thanks benji, thanks yogis 💓💓💓

Another missed day, but I came back and am giving myself some grace. Still grateful to have found this journey. Thanks Adriene!

Every day is wonderful. I get out of bed in the morning, get my mat and meet Adriene and Benji. Then I am ready for my day. I can see a difference in my flexibility already! So glad to be back on the mat with you all!

I cannot be thankful enough for this great gift of practising together. Synch with smiles and grace. Love you all!!!

I am struggling today with depression/unmotivation. With being cooped up inside for over a week because of this cold weather and snow in the USA, today was the first really hard day that I was struggling with mental health. I allowed myself to be in my baggy PJs for this session and just told myself to "hit start, you don't even have to finish if it's too much" breathing deeply with movements made me realize just how poorly I've been breathing because of my posture today and it helped me so much over these 20min to make me feel a little bit more "alive" again.

Todays flow really helped me to delve into my presence and ride the waves from moment to moment as I grounded in gratitude for my current, cosmically-supported state. I couldn’t keep the smile from tugging at the corners of my lips throughout todays practice as I realised how much I have to be grateful for, something I’m grateful for in itself. My amazing body that allows me to do these poses with ease, my incredible support system of family and friends around me that I don’t know what I would do without, these bright, sunny clear days, the nourishing food I have at my fingertips: the list goes on! I can’t believe how far we’ve all come as well. Proud to be a part of this amazing community❤️. Namaste all🙏. See you tomorrow! Xx

Day 19 was wonderful! I am approaching my 5-year anniversary of the yoga class that inspired me to make yoga a part of my life. My milestone is finding balance on one leg. How gratifying to feel strong! I am so grateful. Thank you, Adriene!

Knowing this will be the last 30 day challenge I am building my ‘Adrienne & Benji Never Quit Yoga Folder’ filled with all the love & encouragement you generously give daily in each practice. I always have a place to go to practice & brighten my day. ❤ to You & Benji!

Yesterday I was so grateful for a rest day because my back seemed tweaked. But something magical happened. I focused on my core and posture all day...trying to move with ease and grace. I came home from work and had a hot Epsom salt bath and practiced self care and rest. Today I was nervous for this practice... but my back feels so much better! Movement IS medicine. Pay attention to your body and honor it! I love that Adriene focuses on "find what feels good" rather than "push through the pain" ... that's why I keep coming back day after day, year after year... Adriene is the best instructor and I couldn't be more grateful to practice with her and everyone here! Namaste!

To sit on the mat, suddenly. breath with movement in concert with flow, heart wildly racing to keep up, mind working to calm. Then done….a ride to remember.

Flow Day 19:01:24✅ ✨Ride✨ a lovely way to start the wkend on a simple easy soothing flow...it went by so fast, ...I feel calmer and more flexible on the uplifting flow ride😌🧘🏾‍♀️...really proud of myself and all practicing here with me. Thank you Adriene....FWFG is so worth it. Have a great wkend everyone...we've got this ❤💪🏾 and see you flow riders 2moro. Namaste🌿🪷💚🙏🏾

getting stronger everyday

The day is not complete without a new video from the Flow yoga journey! 😁

Oh, what a wild ride this one was! One of my favorite practices from this series so far. Feeling very grateful 💞

20 days in and I'm still at it! This Flow challenge has been so helpful in keeping me praciticing yoga consistently during this month, with darker, gloomier and colder days. Taking 20 minutes everyday for my body and mind is valuable and I'm really thankful for these practices!

Thank you for my favourite day of the 30 day challenge so far! Such a fun practice ☺️

I appreciated when you said “capture the flag,” for it used to be my favorite game as a child! In the moment of you saying that, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be🙏🏼❤️

Good morning Adriene. Thank you for today’s session. My balance was definitely off this morning. I had a good laugh as I kept falling over. Really enjoyed today though. Love and light to you. Xxx Namaste.

I finally caught up and am participating live again. I’m glad I didn’t give up! Today felt like a very smooth and active vinyasa flow that opened up parts of my heart and lungs and nose more than I could the past week. I feel more fluid and alive! My core is so much stronger and now I’m understanding that holding my belly button into my spine and really squeezing this core is the *core* (no pun intended) to my practice. I can hold the plank better than a year ago and can draw my arms into a crunch with so much more control. I even feel like I have more potential to reaching my leg into a lung from down dog without having to take steps in my future. Most of all I’m thankful that my breathe and body movements are more synchronized and I feel a relaxation in my body and mind and soul that I rarely connect to. In these moments I realize how beautiful and special a daily yoga practice is and I thank all of you and Adrienne for inspiring me to come to the mat every year. What a beautiful tradition 😌

I’m a few days behind, but some how this practice felt perfect for me today. This day. It’s been one of my favorites so far of this 30 day journey. I woke up feeling a little grumpy. But this practice quickly helped me push those negative feelings away and ride the waves of my breath. ❤

I am grateful for all of this.

We did it! After yesterday's beautiful meditate session, you prepared us to face today's invigorating session. This is a great way to energize your day. Thank you Adriene...the YWA community loves you!

While doing the sun salutation, full flow, my arms reaching up high, I smiled so fully. I hadn’t decided on my word of the year yet and usually have by now. It came to me. BEING. Active presence. It’s perfect. I love this community and this practice was my favorite! ❤️ Bittersweet and I will enjoy every last bit of the rest of it and look forward to what Adriene has in store for the future! 🎉

Hello everyone. It’s my birthday! Though honestly it doesn’t really feel like my birthday. I put off coming to the mat today because I thought this practice was going to kick my bum (which it did, a little, but I managed it!) and I was feeling a bit out of sorts. But it’s nice to know that lots of you are out there doing this with me on my birthday and breathing deeply alongside me 💛.

This is one of the most rewarding practices this series for me because I can feel how much stronger I am in my mind and my body. ❤

Wonderful way to start the weekend. I can feel myself getting stronger and calmer with every video. Thank you Adriene for helping me (us) grow strong! ❤

This was my favorite session in this series so far. The first half with the constant breath guidance really helped my pair the breath and the movements. Best of luck to everyone making their way through!

A great morning everyone. Such great practice I could feel the waves as I move. Trust me it's a pleasure I really did what this practice deserves of me. Thanks much Adriene and Benji loved every bit of this practice. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. ❤❤❤ Catch you all tomorrow morning.

Also was able to go from 3 legged dog to lunge in one fluid movement. Serious thought went into Flow 2024. Thank you for all of it. 💘

Oh! Adriene is such a smooth operator! What a delightful ride of flow today!

Gosh I think this is my favourite flow so far ❤ feeling revitalised and deeply grateful on my journey back to self ☀️ such powerful shifts of energy being ushered in today Astrologically ♒️ I’m feeling a huge shift.. I wish this was a 365 day challenge 🧘🏻‍♀️

Namaste my family and good morning Omg that was magical

I’m 12 days late but still going and feeling stronger! Namaste Adrienne!❤

I've finally caught up with the practices! I started this year's 30 days a couple of days late because I was away over new years. I've been doing Adriene's 30 days challenges for a few years now, and usually find myself in the opposite position, missing a couple of days and finishing the whole thing a bit late, so I'm really proud of myself. I didn't't find today particularly easy, I was a bit sore and tired, but I did it! Yay :) thank you Adriene x

Very soothing, loved building that heat! Lots of down dogs. Love me some lunges. Really connected to the breath! FLOW JAN 2024

I actually felt a little stronger today. A good flow! 🧘

The last little boat was the end of me but it's the first day that I've really felt the flow in my body with the way I moved into each new posture. Day 19 guys!!!!! Can't believe how much we rock. Take care of yourselves and see you tomorrow 💜
