I'm sure you probably won't see this, but I thought I'd try. I am a big sufferer of anxiety and depression. I hit an all time amazing high August of last year when a monster came to my city and went into Walmart and picked off 22 people. I'm a retail employee and was supposed to be working in the next building over. Circumstances had me take the day off. Anyway, your videos were suggested. I had tried before but didn't feel I could keep up. I found your videos for anxiety. You've changed my life. I'm still learning and struggling but whenever I feel overwhelmed I go to one of your videos. I'm now doing them daily in quarantine and am interested in learning more. Thank you for this
Wow, that's a powerful incident in your life! I hope your life is improving as you continue your own journey. Keep talking my friend, there is always somebody listening 😍 Adrienne's videos help me maintain my sanity, and restore my focus. She is so very positive, enabling me to be kind to myself, even I only manage a 10 minute session 🥰❤ Sending you love from across the oceans, I'm in Anglesey, North Wales UK xx
Praying this finds you in a good place and doing better. Thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to share. Yoga with Adriene is such a great place to find peace and healing. I always feel more centered when I take time for myself. Blessings 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
BUILD 🔥 | April 22, 2024 | Happy Earth Day! 🌎 This was a great way to start out my first day of our work event, grounding and reconnecting to my breath and body! 🙏
I was doing tree pose, and looking outside, and this squirrel, stood on the woodpile looking in on me through the window we exchanged gaze and gratitude for mother earth I think. :)
Thank you Adriene, so happy for Build Day22:04:24✅🌷🌎.This is jjust 💞🧘🏾♀️👌🏾for a reset, start of the day and grounding me back to Mother Earth 👍🏾🌎, i am so grateful for you, your awesome channel and connecting with mother earth with this amazing community worldwide. Now i am ready with this refreshing energy off the mat to having a splendid day, off to a nice am ☀️walk. Sending love to you all from all over the 🌎...Namaste☮️💗💗🙏🏾
That was beautiful, just what me & my monkey mind needed today. Before practice I was anxious, and could stop my mind from jumping about everywhere. But now after doing that beautiful yoga practice, I feel grounded and my mind feels calm. Thank you so much Adriene, you are awesome. And Happy Earth day everyone! 🌎 Namaste. 🙏🧡
Here on 20/04/2022✅ Refresh Day 20🌸🍀 Thank you Adrienne You have inspired me to show up everyday to do this...I am so grateful.😊😌🧘🏾♀️❣️❣️ Namaste all.🙏🏾❤️❣️
So glad to see this one on the calendar again. The last time six months ago I was simply too tired and not as engaged with it. Today, I once again felt the subtle aspects, even more than previously. If you are new to practice, do not be discouraged if you do not feel or understand everything. There will always be peaks and valleys, ups and then downs again. But over time, you will intuitively notice those areas where you can move more fully into poses. 💜🙏🏼 Meditate day 13. 770 days in a row.🌱🌳
Thank you for your words of inspiration. I am new to YWA, having started her ROOT series for April 2023 on the 1st of April. I'm not new to yoga but I have a new mindset going into my yoga practice this time around. I am in awe of people who have 30+ days in a row of yoga. 365 or more days in a row sounds like such a huge number and I instantly become discouraged. I know what works for me and 30 days at a time is doable. I am just plugging away days at a time so I can keep going. Thank you for sharing! 💙🖤✨
Non-harming thoughts. Non-harming practice. Non-harming actions. Earth Day is tomorrow at the time I practiced today, but this is a good reminder to be non-toxic everyday. Namaste 🙏🏻
I love that no matter how many times I don't get around to completing a yoga series that I can always pick yoga back up with daily yoga from the calendar and keep trying. You always have our backs Adriene
Happy Thursday Lorena! It's nice to connect with someone else in real time today. I am following the Refresh Yoga Journey. Today is Day-21. Thanks for chiming in. Best wishes! Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤🦋
ROOT 🌳 | April 22, 2023 | Perfect practice to ground me back into my home routines after my work trip. I have another trip coming up in a week so I look forward to using the Root calendar this week to stay grounded and connected to what matters! 🙏
Sun is shining and melting snow here where I live. REFRESH Day 21, enjoyed the tree pose today, I could even breath deep while at the pose. Just so happy I can finally after many years take a deep breath without feeling tightness on my back muscles. Lovely day to all of you
I find it so beautiful that this was the practice chosen for today's free yoga calendar/playlist. Nine years after this video comes out, and it's exactly what I needed today. I haven't been following along since we wrapped up our month of yoga in January, but maybe this is my sign to return. A lovely grounding practice on a day that I sorely needed to reconnect with myself and the earth. Thank you, Adriene, for reminding me that we're all connected.
Closing my eyes was so adventurous... I fell down twice, but in acceptance. Also, it is a fact that my feet are not that cute, but hey, I love them! And now, after looking at them with love and as one of my strongest foundations, I love them even more! Thank you Adriene! Happy Mama Earth day!!!
My favorite part was when Adriene asked us "how many different kinds of trees have you seen in your life?" Nothing like some hearty, audible laughter to really ground the soul while balancing. Thanks again to the entire community! Still going strong since BREATH. Namaste
I've done this practice multiple times, this is the first time I had fun with it. Singing "I've got the whole world in my hands". And really making it my own Lol. It was fun! Thanks Adriene for being you and doing all of this for us!! This practice of connecting all the dots and untying all the knots has been my "meditation" for life. I'm truly grateful!!!!!
The first time I practiced this video I struggled with all of these poses but today I really felt amazed at my progress on each of these poses 😁 The Root monthly calender practices have really been very valuable for me so far and am really looking forward to completing the rest of the month ❤ Namaste 🧘♀️🙏
happy earth day y'all! been having an especially anxious month and my therapist told me to do lots of grounding, so this was perfect. thanks adriene and everyone else practicing on this earth day
I remember when I used to struggle doing the tree pose, now becomes so easy. Thanks to my great instructor Adriene. I enjoy this practice. Love always. ❤❤❤ Namaste.
I got distracted by my own thoughts and wasn't fully present. But the tree pose really grounded me and stopped my constant thought circles. Thank you. I hope whoever reads this feels grounded and strong as a tree. Namaste, Dino 🦕
Looking back on this past year, my balancing has improved tremendously, but it behooves one who has balancing issues to practice, practice, and more practice. Besides doing balancing in a yoga session, I'll practice outside, in stores and out in the public. The four points on our feet and core centering will help and improve one's balancing. Thanks kiddo!
Nov 13, 2022 05:37 Intention : meditate to be present Awesome practice we have today, hope everbody is present and grounded as we start our day. Thank you Adriene Have a great weekend beautiful souls Namaste 🙏
Good morning , it's April 17 th, 2023. I've done this practice in the past. But, not sin e I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver , so the fact that I was able to finish it to the end is great progress for me, yay🎉. So , thank you very much. Love you, love Benji , and everyone else who is practicing at this time. So , have a wonderful day and Namaste 🙏🏻 😘🐶🥰💖☀️🦋🌈🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Picked this video at random from the Refresh monthly calendar,......it just happens to be 22nd April 2022.....Earth day! 7 years to the day of this video, I'm smiling at the chance of it. Thanks Adriene, for another wonderful practice. 😊
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Meditate 🧘🏾♀️ Day -13 is calming. There is certainly a shift in my body for the better. This was helpful after dealing with a stormy situation. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋
I got frustrated in the warrior two on the other side because even though with yoga I've evened out a lot of my imbalances, my warrior twos are nowhere near the same level. However after the practice I lay down in savasana to connect to a little gratitude. I told myself to keep up with the good work on the imbalances but not to feel so bad about them. It's Earth day and that really helps me to put things into perspective; there are far bigger problems to actually worry about... Let's make every day Earth day and find what feels good!🙏🏻🍀🥰
Was so delighted to find this Earth Day practice in Adriene's playlist, bc today is Earth Day 2022! And my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed these grounding poses :) We are going to take our mats out this afternoon & try to find a good spot where we can see the mountain range (sending much love from Denver, Colorado, USA!) so that we can ground & attempt to do tree pose in stillness. My mind is often on overload, so I really want to try to accomplish clearing my mind while connecting to Earth Mother
chaoticoverdrive27 Partly right, my girl! No matter how long you practice yoga, you can also die suddenly at any time because of stroke. Reciting The Buddha’s name is the best method of exercise. Moreover,you won’t have great mind if you don’t practice Buddhism, believe me - meditation in Buddhism keeps you enlightened and healthy all the time - Buddhist, Ex P&G manager and Famous Master of English LeVan
Build, April 22, 2024. I did this one for the first on Earth Day in 2023. At the time, I was dipping my toes into the YWA vibe and hadn't quite found my footing with the practice yet. Or I found some of the days too challenging. This year I believe a groove is found and what was once a challenge is soaked in and is all flowing like air and water. This month of Build has affirmed strength and improvement. Namaste. 😊💙
I have to say as Adriene always said that there is nothing like a balancing practice to show us how much in tune we are like boy was I struggling with tress posture today but I needed it to help me find my center and circle back to being present and calming down my worried mind cos thank you Adriene much love to everyone , stay safe and healthy , Namaste Everyone and goodnight 💞💗💓💖❤🙏
Let’s all over the World honor and respect this beautiful planet we are sharing with each other and all God’s creatures great and small 🙏🏼 April 21 2024
TGIF Happy earth day - celebrate and really be grateful for our 1 and only earth. Thanks for the grounding flow which I needed today - to refresh and reset Namaste to all practising - May you find the grounding within
This was a wonderful Earth Day practice. I found I was very in sync with Adriene. Oh and by the way - LOVED those tights. I wanna get me some! Where would I look?
I am really happy to have found the FWFG community 😊🙏❤️🌟 Thank you for creating this magic place on Earth, Adriene 🌱 A great weekend to everyone in Root practice 🌸 Namaste 🙏
Just finished HOME and decided to jump into whatever video was on the calendar today. As someone who has always been "balance-challenged" (aka clumsy), it was a shock that I only fell over once! Adding a daily yoga session with Adriene is the best decision I've made in a long time.
Blessed Beloved Beauties! Refresh Yoga Day-21 is quite refreshing. I feel grounded with a smooth blood flow throughout my body. I'm ready for meditation and a successful virtual workday. Best wishes everyone! Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤🦋
A gentle reminder to those who may be interested to take your own reusable bags when going shopping, grocery or otherwise, to avoid getting disposable bags. :D
This was a great practice after a stressful day at work. I really appreciate how the flow of practices always seem to match my need of the day. Thank you Adriene! Refresh Day 21 :)
I started doing YWA regularly at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, and today I did this practice as I am recovering from mild covid. Feels like I am emerging into new light, new life, new clarity. Thank you for all your videos!
July 2021 - Process Day 11 - Perfect Sunday morning practice so lovely to slow down & just focus… My tree was a swaying in the wind type though! Definitely need more practice there. Have a Fabulous Day beautiful Yogis xxx
I am blown away, I truly cannot believe, this is exactly what I needed. The day we did the ending and new beginning was precisely the day after I retired, now this is to help me grounding quoting you Adriene' Connect to the Earth! Find peace from within. Ground and stabilize your energy! Find What Feels Good!' I need to stay in touch with my soul and calm my overactive crazy mind as you said my darling. What a beautiful way to help us connect ourselves with the Mother Earth. Much Love and Thank you again ❤️ Scarlet 🧘🏽♂️ Namaste
I love reading the comments. Everyone's stories are so inspiring. Im happy to share that my left leg and right leg have balanced out now during tree pose! Before my left foot would slip off, and it was a total struggle. Today, it was like it'd never happened. Hopefully that balance contunues. Love you YWA community and Mother Earth. ♥️
Follow up, the tree pose yesterday was the same! Like there was never even a struggle! It's quite an exquisite feeling-delicate, gentle and natural to return back home to myself. Sending so much love and gratitude to the YWA community. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much Adriene. I have been feeling really terrible today, since last night. sinking into deep state of rumination / worry / anxiety / stress / just not wanting to do anything. this video REALLY perk me a bit. Much appreciate. I was swaying to your - ' she's gotta the whole world in her hands ...' then tree pose, I fall so many times ... which is reflection of my state of mind. BUt I feel better, really to ... like what you say - find what FEELS good / let go of what no longer serve me ... Again, m grateful. Namaste from SG. Big shout out for anyone who is doing this practice as form of grounding! May you find ease and comfort.
I swapped this for the „Happy Birthday Yoga“, because today was my 16th birthday! That was a lovely, calming practice to end a very nice day, so thank you, Adriene, 🥳🤍
Apr 21, 2022 05:56 Intention : seek balance by connecting to nature This practice reminds me to hug a tree for healing, occasionally take off my shoes and walk to feel the earth on my skin, and ultimately if budget allows, come and hear the sound of the sea. For the meantime in our busy life this practice is perfect for me to stay grounded and be at the present moment and today I challenge myself to close my eyes in tree pose, although I fall, I could close my eyes for three seconds and I am happy I did the challenge. Stay kind everyone Thank you Adriene Namaste🙏🏼
@@williamb7275 touching a tree helps me heal. Though I am not able to do so everyday but I know the magical feeling of it. Thank you for sharing your experience too 😊
hell no, balancing poses are so not mine. spent the whole session wobbling through the asanas like crazy. difficult to not feel bad about myself. tomorrow will be another day. hope to make it better then. but of course, thanks a million time for guiding all of us. much love from germany.
Def needed this practice tday to BUILD / reset with GRounding Thank u as was feeling flustered so this really helps Namaste to all practising and May all find / BUILD Grounding from within
P.S. I love I can watch the changes in Adriene's videos throughout time! The changes in how transitions are presented, the way she speaks, everything. It encourages me to start my so longly delayed channel (not about yoga, though).
Today I'm saying goodbye to my old job and collegues. Even though I'm content with my decision, it's still going to be an emotional moment. This practice was perfect for slowing down my racing thoughts and for realizing that I can get through this grounded and slow, I don't have to rush this. Thank you Adriene!
Andrien I can't thank you enough...post pregnancy I started doing yoga with watching your videos...and you bring the confidence the life back in me...you are my guru🙏
Thank you for speaking about the non-harming principle at the end. We are all connected and you cannot find what feels good without that awareness. You were insightful 5 yrs ago, too. =)
Only just done this today as part of your April 2021 calendar and really loved it. I really needed grounding today so was perfect timing. The universe is kind to us x
I really appreciated the non-harming message at the end. I hope it'll be elaborated more in a future video. I'm a recovering perfectionist and I often struggle with feeling frustrated that a pose I'm doing isn't "perfect" when there are numerous other measures that prove my daily yoga practice is working.
Build day 22🎉 Happy Earth Day 🌏, this was such a nice practice after the final weekend challenge. Thank you, Adriene, for this grounding practice, it's such a good one to come back to. 💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
I have been feeling restless and out of sorts today. Finally decided to try a little meditation, a short yoga practice and then a lavender oil bath. This was definitely the right practice and I feel much more centred and grounded now. Good choices made today 🙏💞
Thank you Adriane. I just love your message for Earth Day. Yes Indeed we need to take care of the earth. Reducing the use of plastic is something I am working on. Balance is another story yet!
I love this practice. Some will think I'm crazy, but I really feel grounded, focused and energized every time I do it! Especially, my breath stays slow and calm, even when I'm rushing around doing the tasks of the day. Thank you Adriene. This is a real gift!
You are the reason I practice yoga, even when I feel like I am not worthy of, or when I feel I won't be able to find what feels good! This felt so right! Thank you so much Adriene, for the laughing part made me feel so fine that I coughed and suddenly felt like my body was actually letting go of the anger and the tension I had in the shoulders! Your videos are always a safe place to surrender when I can't find my anchor! Thank you for everything!
Enjoyed this practice in 2017 and not on Earth Day because EVERYDAY should be Earth Day. I will definitely be returning to this practice, I feel so grounded and connected. I recently became a Vegan and this practice was wonderful to help me start out and to remind me why I am doing this. Namaste to you Adriene and everyone in the YWA community. Much love ✌
Although your beautiful Love Letter arrived today and guided us to Yoga For Forgiveness and my heart is with you always Adriene ☺️🙏 I followed the calendar today for that slow, slow grounding sequence. I had to breathe with you to slow myself down 🙄 ! It was a very calming but strengthening practice. In our balancing tree poses, with respect to my arthritis felt and ankles, I just played with it, as you suggested, focusing and balancing a little and doing a bit of yoga for the feet here and there 😊👍 all good. See you tomorrow on the mat, is that another beach one ? Maybe .... 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
