Heart Chakra Yoga For Beginners | Yoga With Adriene 

I believe this practice is so beneficial as we continue to navigate our days, in which it may be very easy to create barriers and blockages to protect the heart and avoid the discomfort. I lovingly urge you and me both, to remember… Discomfort is part of growth. Keep caring for yourself, so that we can keep caring for each other.

To my fellow ADMIRERS I wish you the most peaceful practice and I hope to see you all tomorrow as well 💜

To everybody who is here on the bridge playlist: Have a good yoga practice today 🌞

Most of this was spent just laying on my mat attempting not to let pain push me to tears. I was here and that's all I have today

Admire Day 13 🙏 13/02/2024 ❤ 🙏 May our hearts radiate love & be open to receive love 🙏

"The pose is one thing, but how you exist in the pose is everything" ❤️ Thought of the day

Great practice today. Wishing peace and mindfulness to everyone practicing Admire, February 2024. Have fun. Namaste 🙏

Doing this on February's Align, in 2023. Who's with me?🤗👋 It's a funny practice for me today.😄 I intended to do this sequence in the morning but there was a blackout here exactly when I stepped on the mat so I had to create my own yoga practice from scratch and I'm probably gonna do this in the evening. Today's a windy day here where I live. The sun has sometimes creeped out but it's still more like a pre-storm weather despite the sunlight - changing in every minute. What made this morning and my yoga practice intereseting for me is the observation I made. We had a tiny fight with my mom this morning and I tried to notice my feelings and also understand her point instead of being offended for forever. I thought it's gonna be an interesing challenge and experiment: observing how I act when literally everything around me is falling apart, how it affects my practice. I saw my mom getting stressed even more and more (she wanted to bake but the blackout affected everything in our house: the oven, the heating, the lights, the washing machine etc.) which motivated me to be the one with a calm heart and mind despite our fight. Which we discussed after my yoga practice - and the sun started to shine a little brighter, although it sounds really cheesy.😂🌞 Also, the 'blackout problem' has been solved, almost right after our discussion. It was an interesing coincidence. We had to work out something together (during the blackout) with my mom in case the problem lasts longer than we thought, which allowed us to bond with each other more and in the end the sun creeped out a little bit and we forgave each other. Asking for forgiveness and forgiving each other, it had a magical effect on my bakasana: this morning was the first time I could hold my bakasana four times in a row and for more than a few seconds.💪😁 It really helps a lot if we look at every situation as a state that changes often rather than as something that feels like it's gonna last forever. Because everything changes and we cannot control everything around us. Namasté.🙏

I just had an interesting experience: just after practice my mom rang and we have a difficult relationship but i was able to respond in a calm and kind way from the heart.💚 Thanks a mill. Namaste

Sending love out to everyone joining the Admire month 💛💛 This flow was exactly what I needed to reconnect with my heart and invite more love and compassion into my life. Who else feels like their heart chakra is beaming with energy?

11 months ago when I did this practice, I wrote: "Lovely soft practice". It still is. ❤️ Enjoy your day 🙏 ❤️

4/28, Align, February 2023✅ Today a cold creeped od me and I didn't want to practice because all my bones hurt. But...I did it. For all the aches in my body and it did wonders. Now I am off to sleep. 💪🤞🤍🧘‍♀️

Hello Breath to Bridge family and YWA community. How are you? I found this practice very suitable and I feel good as I begin the work week after a long Lunar New Year holiday. Hope you find what you need in it. 💜🙏 Bridge day 15. Day 134 in a row.

Hello everyone that’s here for February 2023

Second practice of the morning. I did the FWFG sequence and was going to do this one this evening but then I thought, nope, let's find more of what feels good now! Blossom day 3. 487 days in a row.

ADMIRE 💖 | February 13, 2024 | Love this heart centered practice! Unlike the last two times we did it, I stayed inside today with my woolly socks on to start. I can't wait until the summer weather returns and I can take my practice outside again. But for now, this was a lovely break in my work day to reset and reconnect! 🙏

Anxiety is no fun. My mind is pretty loud right now & I feel overwhelmed with negative thoughts of the future. My heart feels so heavy. I've always kept my thoughts & feelings to myself but YWA is helping me learn to open up slowly. Today is a day I'm grateful for yoga 🙏🏻especially this particular practice.

Lots of snow around. 25 more cm fell last night and it will keep coming here in Korea until Saturday morning. To everyone in North America, bundle up. Don't get frostbite. 💜🙏🏼Breathe day 23. 810 days in a row.

Reading my comment on this video from 3 months ago has really hammered home how much things can change in such a short time. I remember being so churned up and worried when I wrote it. Now things haven't really got better, in fact healthwise things are not so great. The difference is in how much more accepting I am that these are things I have no control over. What I can control is my reaction to them. Yesterday my physio gave me a list of things not to do any more. No more squats or lunges and forget training for the 5k run with my grandaughter. BUT he said I can walk it and definitely keep up with the yoga as it's the best thing I can do to keep the muscles strong to support my failing joints. Acceptance changes everything 🥰

Hey team Bridge! How are you this Monday? I really notice an improvement by now and it's so motivating 💖 Have a lovely day!

Thank you Adriene. I have been doing Yoga with Adriene since 2020. Adriene has created Yoga for everyone with excellence. The combination of her advanced knowledge of Yoga, her gentle voice, her precise words for moving us into position, her humor, her dog Benji, is the real deal. I am fortunate and eager to spend time with Yoga with Adriene each day of my life! Yeah! :)

I'm doing this Feb 22 series after having gone through the 30 day Move series. My goal is Yoga everyday for a year! Big goal and I know a lot can happen in that time but I get so much out of this and everyday I learn more and go deeper. like Adriene said "the pose is one thing, but how you exist in the pose is everything" I love that. everyday, thank you Adriene

today’s practice done on: * 2/3/22: a bit sore from my workout so this was perfect to stretch out my chest/upper body…day 3 of blossom! 🌷 * 11/11/22: a bit of a rough few days but remembering to prioritize me. meditate 🧘🏼‍♀️ day 11 * 12/23/22: time truly does heal, and I even have off from work on this -10 degree day. breathe, day 22 🫁 * 2/12/23: a reminder and renewal to know that my heart is open to receiving all the goodness I know I deserve. align day 4 ⭐️ *6/29/23: finally had a chance to do this practice 😊my favorite (and best tbh) heart opener…the last one, namaste. love day 9 🌈

Adriene, I fell in love with Yoga via your videos and your approach, not only in technique, but your lighthearted spirit. I love the idea of finding peace in the mundane. I do it everyday. I love to listen to the trees talk to the world and each other. They’re always there waiting for someone to listen. Loving my cat, caring for my garden, drinking coffee or tea, reading, walking (and yoga of course) are my greatest joys. Teaching and talking with children fills my heart and soul. Thanks for reminding me and all of us to appreciate the simple joys, for they really are the greatest.

For our Blossom Yogis and everyone going forward. Here is your Daily reminder to drink some water today! Love you!!!

Love day 9. 978 days in a row. --‐----- Almost 7pm here, and I just finished. I got a late start after riding a bike two hours to the northern part of the city to give it away to a friend. One more task completed before I leave Korea in 12 days. That said, I was so exhausted and fell asleep this afternoon. I could have stayed on the mat forever, but there is still so much to do. Align day 4. 853 days in a row.

Intention : breathe and send love Sending love to my parents in heaven and dedicate this practice in honoring them for raising me to strive to be a better person. Thank you Adriene 😊🙏💚 See you tomorrow beautiful souls 😊🙏💚 Namaste 🙏-

Hi everyone, day 3 fun to see people are here at the same time : ) February 2022. I am doing this in the mornings and started to do Adriene's 30 Days of Yoga in the evenings, let see how it goes ; )

I have a fondness for the heart sequences. Enjoy. Balance day 15. 437 days in a row.

Pleasure coming on 3rdly again to this beautiful soothing ❤️ opening session which I can come as often as I can, also, ty Adrienne💝🌷🌸 for the reminder to always listen to my breath here on Feb Align Day 04:02:23✅🤣🤣👌🏾and take care of my heart...the heart openers did it beautifully for me & 😆😂I had a good laugh at some wierd moments too...really loving this practice... Beautiful relaxing wkend to all.🙏🏾🧡🧡

Intention : align with my feminine within Today I realize how important our breathing is to our heart, if we don't breathe properly our heart will work harder to produce oxygen to our whole body and so this session reminds me to be mindful of my breath to have a healthy heart.❤ Thank you Adriene 🙏😊❤ See you tomorrow beautiful souls 🙏😊❤ Namaste🙏

This slow, slow practice has left me very calm and thoughtful. It took me through moves with intention. I’m feeling a little stiff in the mornings here in lockdown in England. It seems a long one this time but Spring is coming and I’m looking forward in a positive manner. The days are getting longer, snow is melting and little plants are peeping through. My morning YWA is the perfect way to start each day 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

Wow my body was fueled by anxiety when I woke up today. My breath was stuck, my heart was racing, my belly hurt. This practice allowed me to slow down, to open up to movement and flow again. Blossom Day 3, love you all 💖✨

ALIGN 🌟 | February 4, 2023 | My intention for today's practice was to allow my spirit to fully enter my body, breath by breath. Felt the heart opening in threading the needle and felt some emotions move through in the crescent lunges. 🙏

Here for Admire (February 2024) Day 13. This was so much lovelier than I was expecting and I may add chakra yoga into my practice. Thank you!

Day 3 post Move ❤️ I began Move feeling like I needed something extra for myself. I’m a runner and while running can be meditative in itself, it can be harmful when you have struggled with or are still struggling with an ED, as the calories burned become addicting and then running becomes less about the mental aspects and more about the caloric burn. I started Move wearing my Garmin to see how many calories I burned. When I saw that it was minimal, I was surprised to feel that I didn’t feel total dread, something in me changed. I said to myself more and more, “well, it’s not that many, but I feel great.” I decided to ditch the watch for the last week’s worth of practices and truly focus on what matters- my mental health. I encourage everyone out there to try if you are currently a prisoner of your technology! With everything and everyone plugged in these days, sometimes without even realizing it, it is so freeing to let go. How you feel after a workout is way more important than the number of calories burned. ❤️

I've had a heavy heart all day, no idea why. I was planning to watch netflix all evening and do absolutely nothing but I pushed myself to do this yoga routine instead. I am glad I dit it. I feel so much lighter now and gained some energy. Thank you Adriene!

This sets the scene for Valentines tomorrow. Peas and Love 🫛❤️

I am amazed. The right side of my neck and the area under my right shoulder blade has been in pain for 3 years. I've seen multiple doctors, done MRIs, X-rays, physiotherapy, arthroposophic therapy, regular ol' therapy, massages, and what have you to treat it. I've never felt as pain free as I do in this instant, after this practice in Shift. Thank you so much, Adriene.

Begin Day 21:8:22✅👌🏾☮️😌💞🌷🌷💞 That was and still is a beautiful wind down tool for me...Ty from the bottom of my heart Adriene🌷💝, a relaxing day to you all.🙋🏾‍♀️😌🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️😊😌 Namaste🙏🏾☀️🌼🌻💛💛

Breathe Day 23 🙏 Bless you Adriene 💗

Admire Day 13🎉 Thank you Adriene, Benji and everyone for sharing this practice with me❤

👋🏼💜Meditate day 11. 768 days in a row. 🤗

Blossom 🌸 day 3. Love for anyone who continues after finishing Move, or just started Blossom.

I never thought I'd be a morning yogi, but I am. I've been loving starting my days with some joyful movement

Everyone here for Admire!! Come check out the Yoga With Adriene subreddit. We're doing daily check-ins with each other. Come join on the fun!

4th February 2023 "Align" Felt this practice really profoundly today. Namaste❤

Here on blossom day 2, So uplifting and calming + adding Bedtime/wind down to aid for sleeping well. Works like magic.💖 🙏🏾🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️🙏🏾. You are my wind down drug free tool. Thank you.😌💗💗😌

Thank you ❤ day 34

You, Adriene are my hero 🤟

Not feeling well, but not gonna miss my practice. Appreciate the deep breathing reminders. Greatful for the confidence Adriene has given us to modify as needed💜 that's love, thats yoga. Align Feb '23

Definitely going to be bookmarking this one. I was having a rough day at work and this really helped pick me back up. I think I most enjoyed the opening and closing in thread the needle. Doing the movement with the breath created an interesting bit of challenge for the upper body while really helping to open the chest for deeper breaths. I will spend the rest of my shift in a pleasant mood. Thanks again Adriene! To those joining us from Move and continuing with Blossom. To those just starting out. I see you. I send you love. Thank you for breathing with me today. 🖤

Hello to everyone practising together around the world! 🙏🏼💛💛💛

Here excitedly again , 5th time. Breathe Dec Day 26:12:22✅ Lovely soft gentle practice....Have a lovely Boxing day all.💪🏾🎄Namaste 🙏🏾💚💚

Blossoms Day 3. Loved the chakra session, thank you Adriene

Thank you Adriene!

Felt a lot of new muscle activation. I think i love down dog, a pose i used to despise only a year ago. I love how yoga changes your mind, mindset and tolerence. My edge was met with grace today. My heart is open. Namaste. ❤Love day 9❤

I was taken aback by the amount of positive, creative energy I felt during this practice! I loved your thoughts on masculine and feminine energy, I totally agree that everyone has both and it can be expressed in so many different ways. For me, I felt a bit of both, and they blended really well together while doing the thread the needle pose. The masculinity came through with the controlled movement of the twist, and the femininity came through with the softening of my face and fingers while doing it. Felt awesome!

Much love to my fellow earthlings here, there, and everywhere🎼

"Back that truck up!" I love you Adriene, thank you for this practice. I love when you start getting exited about life and/or a pose. I could listen to those random trails of topics all day. Funny enough, when you start getting distracted, it helps me focus more! Namaste😘

Here 3rdly, for this 😊😌🧘🏾‍♀️👌🏾💖💖 practice for✨Nov Meditate Day 10:11:22✨✅ is so beneficial. Doing it again as I did 9mths ago with wind down bedtime yoga as well. So moving! Feeling more relieved and relaxed Have a warm calming eve. all🤗💞🍂🍁🧡. Namaste.🙏🏾💜💜

3rd day of blossoming🌸 Namaste beautiful people🙏

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Intuit Day - 16 is healing and refreshing! Ah, I needed this. Now, it's time for my Kemetic Yoga 🧘🏾‍♀️ Studies and a quick run 🏃🏿‍♀️ before a spa appointment. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️ 🦋

Admire💝 - February 2024 Heart chakra yoga for beginners💚 I admire the way I open myself up to love and to all experiences that I am blessed with. Practiced today in a little zen corner of Cornwall where I am staying for the week, a place that is a proper retreat and where I often feel cleansed and re-opened/rejuvenated once departing so to do todays heart opening practice in this slice of heaven was a real treat. I also realised halfway through that my green yoga mat matches the colour of todays chakra! Everything is perfectly aligned☺️💚. Wonderful to tend to the heart space today, to curate self-love from within and in turn radiate it outwards to others. A positively charged practice that has made feel all glow-y from within. I am a free-flowing vessel of love! I am shining big beams of love to you all - I hope you can feel it💓. Namaste wonderful friends🙏✨🤗❤️ xx

Day 4 of Align ❤. Namaste everyone

Anyone practicing here today on the Align playlist? Continuing my Center 30 day yoga journey ❤

Doing this practice while watching the sunrise, what a magical way to start my day. Take care, everyone!

Day 4 align had a weird moment when Adriene mentioned feeling your heart in your back body, I could picture my heart within my body, not something I’ve ever been able to do before.

I started this at 4.46am my time 15.02.2021, making it a beautiful silent practice in the near-dark. The sun's peeking out slowly now and it is the embodiment of peace. Thank you.

Adriene wisdom today..."take responsibility for your vibe". Namaste.

Blossom Day 3 - and adriene even said "blossom" that made me smile

I love these breathing techniques 'lots of love in and lots of love out', it really helps to somehow get rid of the heaviness in the heart and helps release the tension that is holding the heart back, just phenomenal! You are our hero, Adriene! I'm eternally grateful for everything you've done and are doing for us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Adriene & Benji! From my heart to yours, namaste! 💛🌿

Had to miss the last few days of yoga due to an injury, and I notice such a huge difference in my mind, my body, my mood, just everything. So glad to be back, even with some heavy modifications :)

Thank you, Adriene. I am back doing some slow yoga. Greetings from us three, Genevieve, Zebulon and Valentine.

I'm off work this week & it's been nice to practice today in the daylight rather than pre-work darkness, especially such an uplifting light practice 💕

Day 33 on YWA. Loved the Move seies and have made it my goal to do a full year of yoga with Adriene. I am so grateful to you, Adriene for giving a monthly calendar for guidance. Looking forward to see how I Blossom in February.

Was feeling work anxiety before, but the heart openers helped. Thanks.

Good morning, community. I came to the mat today with heaviness from the anniversary of my father’s death, frustration about dating, and dealing with my mother who I have a difficult relationship with during another snow day. I had to release the baggage in order to stay in tune myself. I’m going to take care of myself today and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 4 of our Blossom journey.

✨Wishes of a beautiful weekend💖💖💖

Balance month. This must be one of the best practices! Just love the opening of the heart and the mindful movement. X

Blossom day 3. "Notice where your mind goes" . . . thank you for the space to grieve and to know that it is OK to continue to process these feelings of loss. This is a wonderful space and pace to do so in. My heart was definitely feeling tonight.

Day 13 complete I thought it was a good practice today. 02/13/2024

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Love Day - 9 is refreshing and enlightening. Ironically, an intention I set for this session before was "enlightenment. " Also, I have been teaching for a kids' yoga 🧘🏾‍♀️ camp 🏕 and the focus has been "heart openers." I love how things are connected. Ah, have a beautiful day, Yogis! Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋

Happy 11/11 everyone. I hope you all have an amazing day 💞

February 2024 Admire Day 13 ❤ Awh yiiis. Another awesome start to my day. It's "Pancake Day" for the lovely English, so I will be making pancakes for breakfast! Huzzah! Have a lovely day. Namaste.

Blossom Day 3 Done! This was exactly what I needed this morning, I am soo glad to continue after Move! It really feels like I decided to do something meaningful in my life to build this regular practice now :)

Aaaah a lovely practice for the end of my day

Commenting after the practice is like writing a diary 💜 you get to see the changes overtime 🌸

Blessed Beloved Beauties! This was an amazing practice. It's my first time doing this one as a part of the Blessed 30 day journey. Now, I'm ready for a meditation. 🧘🏾‍♀️ 🦋❤🦋

💖Day 12. Opening our heart chakras for what is to come💕. Thank you Adriene🌸

Absolutely the right practise for me this evening. Thank you Adrienne and all the beautiful souls practising. X

Let's do this! 😄Begin day 21, 2 days in a row.

So thankful for this practice today. I didn't even realise how much I needed it until Adriene said "rest your heart and soul" in childs pose. That was the moment my emotions finally bubbled over. My heart is so fearful right now with the whole situation in the UK. The social division being created by the political and covid situation is really affecting me. Much more so than at any other time during the last 2 years of this pandemic. My English stiff upper lip is definitely not feeling very stiff lol. This practice has made it into my list of favourites 🥰

I enjoyed this practice this morning so much. I had to come back to comment. This changed my flow of the day and made me softer with myself. There are a couple of modes with the heart. Sometimes I am tough love and rigid, while other times I am soft. Today I am full blast - rushing waterfall of love... but still soft. Like the mist that rises from the water meeting the water. It floats and permeates all around. Thank you Adriene. Beautiful.

Thank you Adriene ❤️ Day15 Bridge Febr’21 See you tomorrow 🧘🏻‍♀️ Namaste 🙏🏻

Loved this gentle opening practice, felt emotional troughout. I thought the bit about intimacy with yourself was really important as well, as I often tend to look more outwards than inwards. Thank you all and have a lovely heartwarming day!

I literally cannot describe what a great great practice this was. I was surprised, after a year of yoga how not a cliche your famous sentence "find something new" is. I found a balance in something that was a struggle for me for the last time, being with myself and being with others. I just did the same looking cat cow but creating a new intimacy with myself and that felt great 🙂🙂 This entire practice was so special and I really feel like it helped me to process my emotions. Thank you so so much l am definitely saving this one in my favourite yoga playlist 😉 Love you all💜💜

Good morning Adrienne I just read your lovely letter this morning and I decided to do this practice yesterday after I did Dedicate space practice and the moon practise. Something made me feel like I wanted to do something for someone and my little sister had been cooped up indoors due to cv-19 and it's her birthday next month. I drew her a picture of a fairy garden 😍 she is only 9. I spent over 5 hours through the day on it and it felt like it truely came from my heart. Love and hugs to you my friend and Yoga guide. Day 44 of consecutive days this morning xx

Hi to everyone around the world x 💓 beautiful practice tonight very much needed after work today 😊 love Reading everyone's comments 💕 and to anyone struggling right now stay strong, breathe deep, we got this 👍 ❤️

Definitely opened my heart space and cleared my mind. Thank you Adriene
