Quick Restorative Yin | Gentle Yoga Practice 

I’m one of the few men I know that admit I love yoga. This channel has helped me so much dealing with my ex-wife leaving me. Adriene truly is a gift to the world.

This felt really nice. One thing I'm noticing: my old toxic thinking is creeping up, I have this nagging feeling that I should be doing more, something more active. And the wonderful thing is that it's okay. I know it's just an old habit, a thought I had thousands of times, it's likely to show up once and again. It doesn't mean anything other than it being an old habit. I don't have to do something with it. I know I am not the thought. I can simply see it and send it back again. I will be okay. I already am okay. Thank you, Adriene.

“The quality of time you spend with yourself influences the quality of relationship you have with everyone else” Say it louder and say it all the time. That was beautiful ❤

I broke down into tears about halfway through this one. I’ve been following your channel for 3-4 years, practicing regularly until this last year. It has been the hardest time of my life, I let myself get so far from who I am and who I want to be, and I am still dealing with a good amount of self hatred. I have been through a lot lately and I have cried nearly every day for one reason or another, but today’s tears felt different. They felt like they were symbolic of compassion for myself in response to taking the time to check in today. Maybe it’s the first step to self loving kindness, I have always struggled with that. Thank you Adrienne

This is such a nicer way to start the day than the news.

doing this on february 3, 2024 instead of the “scheduled” practice, and wow, THANK YOU. thank you to myself for showing up, following the breath, and for observing thoughts instead of judging them. thank you to adriene and benji and team for making it possible with these amazing free videos! and thank you to yoga, for uniting everyone and everything. i am most definitely slipped into a state of gratitude, teary eyed at the end of this session because yoga really does go so much deeper than “just the poses.” i never thought i would be on this journey when starting yoga. needed this gentle yin session, a nice change of pace and another reminder that balance is key! ❤

Being a kid/teen in the early 2000s was brutal for bellies. Cried tears of gratitude as I acknowledged all my belly has done for me. Its very difficult to undo the conditioning of self-hatred, but practices like these are so so helpful for me. Here’s to the bellies of all shapes and sizes! May we shower them with love and gratitude!

Continuing after the 30 day yoga challenge was the best gift I could give myself this Valentine month!❤ Namaste everyone!!

I would love more gentle practices! When I'm struggling with my mental health, these are the kinds of practices that help me feel better

February 2024 Admire Day 7 ❤ Pure bliss. Missy (🐈‍⬛) joined me for most of the practice. Which made me smile. So grateful to have these sessions to look forward to every day. Namaste.

My wife and I had a super fun night and we ended it with this video. In the practice, we laughed together, not at anything specific simply feeling like kids

This was exactly what I needed today. My mind has felt like a constant storm is raging inside, and my body has been feeling so tense. I woke up this Tuesday morning just wanting to cry and go back to sleep, but now I feel like I can at least handle getting up and showering, and then just see how things go from there❤️

I cried during this practice, I saw myself with lots of wounds. I was born with some of them. I felt with every breath I take some of them going to hurt less and less and less. I decided i'll keep breathing until they all disapear some day. I also had a little bit of help. Before I came on the mat I sat under the generous Sun for 40 min. ☉ Thank you Adrien.

10 years ago since my Dad died, this was a teary practice but also perfect to let go.

❤❤☮️🌅 Day 6This was just right to feel easy movement and feeling well relaxed in all the heavy tensed body and muscles. This was settling and a great boost to start my day for the 3rd time here for Admire Day 06:02:24✅ Wishing you all a happy peaceful day in the noisy world 🌎 Namaste☮️❤️❤️🙏🏾

hi Adrienne, I am from Sudan, currently going through war, my house was bombed and we had to evacuate my city.. currently living but only that. I don't know what happens next, in my life, my plans, what happens to my dear country, all the memories in my house .. and more.. Denial was my friend, up to the point where we relocated to a safer place and ever since then I have been in a psychological state that I couldn't understand, but it is fair to say that I am depressed. this practice made me get in touch with myself again, the breaths I took slowly pumped life into my stiff muscles and joints.. and I am so so grateful and will always be thankful. please pray for my country, and most importantly.. the people of my country. Namaste

I came to this practice again at the first of February, right after Flow😊, my body was craving easy movement after my day at work yesterday ❤️🤟

Wow wonderful, no judgement as we restore and keep returning to our breath. I'm so thankful to Adriene, Benji and your family. Love always. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you Adriene. This practice is amazing to come back to the natural bliss feeling in the moment. I am doing this practice under gentle warm sun of Feb, birds flying around singing & a cook breeze flowing. Lots of love.

The background music was so helpful in finding the zen of this once again amazing practice with Adriene Love yah Lady🙏🏼♥️

Doing Admire day 7 a day early as day 6 isn't up yet for me, but turns out this is exactly what I needed today, so I'm thankful day 6 hasn't been uploaded yet, thank you Adrienn, for this yin session 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏

Long time listener, first time caller- Love the addition of the music! ❤

Felt stressed out, couldn't focus on anything, had soar muscles and lower back pain. This short program made magic happen. Namaste!

The same time Adriene mentioned the dove, a huge pigeon came and huuhuuuued outside the window. ❤️

"The quality of time you spend with yourself influences the quality of relationship you have with everyone else." ♥

Wow , that should have had a note saying Hey, we are going to take your spine and create space in-between each and every vertebrae! Wow 😮

First yoga practice since my most recent loss. Losing a third child within 2.5 years. Adriene has been there for me every morning. Through the good and bad.

I was expecting the new yoga for feet video this morning, I started a little too early. I was so in need of the short restore this morning. My pecs soo needed this practice. Thank you Adriene.

ROOT 🌳 | April 3, 2023 | What a beautiful yin practice, such a treat for the start of the week. I didn't roll up my blanket the best way (too short and thick) which made me fidget a bit at the start of the practice to try to get it situated right, but by the end it didn't matter, I was too zen to worry about it! 🙏

The first time I tried this practice I found it awkward as I get panicky around props and discovered a bit of a phobia about my head tipping back. Completely different today, I feel so relaxed and much better able to cope with day one of my first positive COVID test. Thank you

Today I pulled a quote that went wonderfully with today's practice, and the words of wisdom Adriene shared at the end of the session: "You must love and care for yourself, because that's when the best comes out." ~Tina Turner. I've been perusing the amazing YWA library and making my own February calendar, it's been fun to mix it up and re-visit videos! Namaste to all! 🙏

August 17 2023 🌴 My anxiety levels are through the roof, I have had insomnia for the past two nights. I haven't been this anxious for years... But this practice felt really great, thank you 💕

I had to put my sweet fur baby angel of 16 years down yesterday. This practice couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you, Adriene and blessings to all. 🙏❤️

Loved this practice. Not sure why it made me so emotional (?!?) but it really did! Brought a tear to my eye. Yoga with Adriene has transformed my life, and I am so thankful that I stumbled across these videos just over a year ago - I have barely missed a day since!

I felt so tired today. I knew I had this restorative practice to look forward to. A few tears ahhhhhhh I needed that.

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic this evening so this was a perfect fit. Always a favorite. 💜

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Intuit Day - 17 is revitalizing! I always enjoy this restorative treat. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋

What a soothing practice! I may have to do it again in the evening when I'm fully ready to relax, I had a bit of trouble letting go of my strong motivation to get my day and week started :) Bloom Day 15, May 2023 ☮

We hold so much love for Adriene and Benji, like we're true old friends. Gratitude for your gifts. 🌟

Aww such a wonderful yoga practice, thank you Adriene this is just what I needed . 🧡 I have Fibromyalgia which is a serious joint condition, I am in a lot of pain often , and yesterday I had a flair up , I was stuck on the sofa in agony all day . I'm glad to say your yoga practice today has made me feel so much better after yesterday. 😌 I feel renewed and restored, thank you so much Adriene you are a life saver and life changer . ❤ see you tomorrow for more wonderful yoga, Namaste! 🙏 🧡🧘‍♀️

namaste everyone ❤

Such a lovely practice! I woke up feeling sore, stiff, and stuck physically and mentally today. This felt like winter melting into spring in my body and mind!

The point where you said to just be here, no masks, really hit home for me - I've recently discovered that I am autistic and was actually doing this practice to rest after spending time with a friend. There is this thing called autistic masking where people like me, subconsciously and consciously, try to hide traits or diffences we have in order to appear "normal". I've been trying to let go of my "mask" and just be who I am and so being reminded that I am allowed to do that felt really encouraging. Thank you adriene ❤

One of my favourite go to sessions for when I am feeling a bit 'off' so gentle and restorative. Am doing Admire on all the wrong days after the Flow challenge but it's lovely to have the calendar to dip in and out of when I need inspiration. Thank you Adrienne...

Thank you Adriene ☀️ Day 15 Bloom May’23 See you tomorrow 🧘🏻‍♀️ Namaste 🙏🏻

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Admire Day - 7 is refreshing and tranquil. I always enjoy returning to this session. I made it to the mat at 11:30 P.M. which is a nice way to end the evening before a hot shower 🚿 and 🛏️ bedtime. Best wishes everyone! 🦋❤️🦋

I have been doing yoga for 15 years and I enjoy it so much. I used to have terrible back pain. I tell people yoga saved my life. And Adriene’s sessions are the greatest. They’re fun, rigorous but also easy to follow. My HMO recently gave us all a “gift” of a subscription to Class Pass, which includes yoga. Ugh. No thank you. The yoga classes there are paced as if they are being run by a drill sergeant. No pose lasts longer than 3 seconds. This kind of yoga is not enjoyable, and I am sooo glad Adriene doesn’t approach it that way, ever. ❤️👏🏼 Thank you!

I kept having the thought “embrace failure” paired with the visual of falling back into darkness, finally letting go.. throughout this.. Not supposed to be depressing ha ha.. I thought about the times in life I flat out failed and how I felt, and how I longed for some one to tell me it’s ok.. I don’t know that that ever happened, but in this moment.. I felt acceptance to that, and almost felt the embrace of the me now with the failed me(s) then.. really needed this today, thank you for the grounding… namaste

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Bloom Day - 15 is so refreshing! I always enjoy this restorative gem of a session. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋

I found this so difficult, I couldn’t find a comfortable place to position the roll until the end with it lengthways under my back. I have been working on hip openers along with the calendar and this showed me that I also need to attend to my upper body. I shall definitely do this again and try and breathe into the difficult places.

I tried to choose another video and decided to trust this was what i needed. Really helped with a 2 day headache!❤ greatful to be here. April 3rd '23

I call this high quality rest because it allows me to rest my body and recharge my energy. Thank you

INTUIT 🪬 | August 17, 2023 | I took this practice outside and forgot to bring a blanket, so I did it without it and it was just as good. I've had a hectic week and have felt my energy be a bit frantic. So this was just what I needed. Done under the warm sun! 🙏

Sending tons of love and virtual hugs. 🙏💚 Wishing you all a great day!

I have had a hard time with every thing lately and been struggling to be with my emotions . But this practice made me confront those feelings i have been avoiding. I am so grateful to share this space and to this practice for finding me when i needed it.

August 17, 2023. Thank you so much Adriene I love you 🤍

Thank you Adrienne. This was a beautiful practice to start the week. I see that I shared my practice with 1046 other lovely yogis. Namaste everyone.

I've been practicing yoga for like 7 years and I clearly remember that I cried only 2-3 times during meditations after yoga practices. I was overwhelmed with such a tension that I was storing in my body for approximately 5 years (since the divorce process of my parents and mental abuse that I've been feeling 24/7), so my body just finally started letting go all the pain and tension. Yoga saved my life, it helped me during the most terrible periods of my life, it gave me so much power and belief that everything's gonna be okay some day. And here I am today - practicing this session after 3 months of break (I'm suffering with depression and self-hate, but thank god I started therapy) I decided to give it a try and see how my body will respond on this sequence, the gentle, opening one. Today was mentally hard and awful day and I thought yoga must help me. It really did. For the first time in my life I cried during doing yoga.. Cause, essentially, the whole video is about letting go (heart opener), and I just couldn't finish the video, I stopped in the middle, cause all the pain and guilt and etc started choking me inside. I didn't expect that at all. Now I understand that this is the part of my healing journey and a part of the process that I'm going through in my therapy. I am really thankful that such thing as *yoga* exists and I will come back to it sooner or later. I just need some time to relax. If everyone is dealing with the same type of reaction - I understand you & I believe in you. You will get through and you *will* be happy. So will I.

I love you too, Adriene! With tears in my eyes.....Namaste!

This was perfect, thank you Adriene! Was anyone else shocked by the mat on angle/ in a different spot!? 😅 Loved the switch up for a lil different perspective! 😍😜

What a beautiful way to start my Birthday... Thankyou so much, Adriene. I loved this xxx

Happy 11th birthday yoga with Adriene RU-vid channel 🎉🎉🎉.thank you. 🧿🫶🏻🪬

Lovely practice - needed this after helping hubby with some woodwork. He has the fun of using the power tools while I have to stand holding some wood steady !!! 😮

I found this a difficult practice with my neck extremely reluctant to be stretching back! Learning about what feels good 🙏

I've been following Adriene for 6 years, yet, this video hits differently 💙 using a supporting element during yoga makes such a huge difference!

That was an amazing practice! It helped me to release some frustration an anger that I didn’t even realized I was holding on so much. Have a lovely evening/ night/ day all! 🤍🤍🤍

I cried when expressing gratitude to my body. I’ve hurt it so much before and it’s still going. Thank you. Namaste

I hadn't done a practice for a couple of months and it was nice to get back to it on 1st April. Particularly pleased as Adrienne had stopped saying Namaste in the last ones I did in January, and I wasn't terribly pleased about that as it makes my day as it makes me think of Mother Teresa who I said Namaste to many years ago when I helped out for a while at one of her centres in Calcutta.

🌸thank you for this gracious restorative flow! Take care and do not forget to sprinkle 💕 in all you’ll do today!💖

Such a beautiful, yet simple practice. It made me cry, it just made something release and let go. Thank you Adriene ❤

Ahhh! I saved for bedtime😊so glad I did.

Adriene, I’d love to hear more about how you fell in love with your gut. I’m at a point in my life where my gut is so out of balance and needs a lot of love, I’m just not sure where to start. You’re such a role model and I think it’d be helpful for me and a lot of others to hear your experience more in-depth. 💙

Thank you for the comments. Reading them I am truly looking forward to this! 🌷

Done this practice just before bed and it's perfect, thank you Adriene and i hope that everyone has a peaceful morning or evening wherever you are

This practice was everything that I needed today. I’ve been feeling pretty exhausted, run-down and overwhelmed for quite a while now. I used to practice with Adriene daily but then I fell off and just never got back into the flow. Today was a reminder that I need to create time to nurture myself and re-fill my cup; so that I can be there for others in the way that I like to be. Thank you Adriene for this gift.

Absolutely love this - I have done it the last 2 days and what an amazing ‘short’ way to relax and recharge - I know I need to do more of this !!!💕

Wow, I absolutely needed this for my scattered Monday morning brain. Thank you Adriene ❤️❤️

I came back to my practice after an injury kept me away for several months, and this was a very emotional and restorative session, thank you 😊 peace to all

this was so soft and gentle and full of love thank you Adriene!! for allowing us to be one, with our vulnerability and our. Strengths at the same time . NAMASTE

So love this beautiful soul - no matter how you feel or what you need honoring yourself, Adriene will be there. Loved this yin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤oh and love Benji 💘

I’m recovering from Covid (again) and practices like this one have helped me to get to the mat even in my worst days. I’m so thankful for all the wonderful practices you share with us. TQM! 🌺

After three days of no yoga, stress due to social gatherings and work, plus being on the verge of getting a cold (cold days). The new practice on breathing and this practice were just what I needed. Movement but soft, gentle movement to get back on track! Namaste! 🙏

Since the very beginning of the practice, I started crying. Thank you Adriene, exactly what I needed this morning.

Thank you. My mom is in the hospital right now and I'm feeling gratitude with her finally getting off the ventilator and in the road to recovery. So much gratitude for your practice available on here. NAMASTE 🙏

Namaste to you Adriene. And Namaste to everyone

Good morning Adriene and my yoga family. RESTORE. Thanks much Adriene for an excellent practice, not a lot of movements but I could still feel that I was gripping especially in my forehead. I'm so glad to have you as my instructor because you helped me change my lifestyle around so I could heal and be more healthier. I'm so proud of myself I'm on the yoga mat every day. Thanks to you and your team once more. God bless and keep you all. Love you guys. Have a fulfilling day. NAMASTE. ❤❤❤

Tears of joy with this practice. It’s been over a year, and I’ve missed you Adrienne.

Bloom day 15. May 2023. I think Adriene knows my schedule. Another day of travel and meetings. Root day 3. April 2023. This was lovely after a day of travelling and meetings. I almost fell asleep.

🎉Wow I had the biggest deepest most restorative breath I can remember taking. ❤ I have been doing yoga for over 25 years so this practice today means a lot to me and is very helpful on the healing mind and body journey I am on. It’s an empowering gift to work on improving my painful health condition at home. It gives me a lot of hope to know I can experience the peacefulness of yoga whenever I need. Yoga with Adrienne is particularly helpful for me because I need to calm voice and instructions engage with my body and mind. I noticed yesterday I was holding tension in my legs through the day even when I thought I was relaxing and sewing.

Thanks, your quick restorative practice is exactly what I needed this morning. Namasté🙏🏻

I feel restored, that was lovely. Thank you Adriene 😊

Thanks Adriene! Just what I needed after first day at new job.

Thank you for this! It was perfect as I celebrate my birthday and as I begin radiation treatment for my stage 4 lung cancer.

Aw man I wiggled my way up and down the rolled up blanket like a lil wormie and it cracked everything soooooo good after long run

I decided to just roll with whatever yoga flow RU-vid decided to suggest for me today, trusting that it would be the best one for what my body needed. I am so grateful this was the one given to me. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you for this beautiful gift, Adriene.

Very relaxing. Saving it for those days when I am exhausted. Root day 3. 911 days in a row. Bloom day 15. (953 days)

Adriene is so amazing at her art! I think her teaching impacts so many ecosystems in our world and that is so exciting! I think by embodying her classes you share love, peace and unity with others. Those things are so important to me and my values. Thank you. Lots of love to you!!

Just what I needed! Just got back from a 3 1/2 week road trip. Totally messed up my normal routine and yoga practice.

i tested positive for my first case of covid a couple days ago and this was exactly what i needed. thank you adriene

The Best yoga teacher ever!So good,so simple,so clear ……best of the best!Thanks very much Adriene ! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
