I am disabled with two artificial legs and wanted to try some yoga. Came across your channel and am now practising it every day. You have a calm and loving voice I can trust, and I love your dog. Thank you so much! xx

Thank you! I’ve been doing yoga with you now for 2+ years and recently broke my big left toe. I’m in a boot for TWO months and was feeling really depressed about not walking much or doing yoga, then I remember seeing chair yoga with you, and I realized I can still stay connected to my practice despite this injury. Hooray! Not gonna lie that months of no down dog is going to be hard for me, but Thanks for reminding me of what I still can do. Grateful in CA. Xoxo

@jenwhite8832 7 лет назад

Thank you for doing this, and also for respecting that many people who use wheelchairs aren't just sitting down, but can't use their legs. This is very helpful, thank you

@minkaja861 3 года назад

I did some of your yoga pre wheelchair and it's a wholesome experience to accidentally stumble upon this video now. Will definitely try it later, appreciate it!

@cherylyeo25 2 года назад

Good video! goodie! feeling a bit blah, no problem ... even a 10mins chair yoga to REfresh! thanks and much appreciate Namaste to all practising

@mamasatria 6 лет назад

Thank you Adriene. I'm down with a leg injury and have to lay off weightbearing on the leg for a while. Your seated yoga playlist is just perfect for me right now.

@craigpark412 8 лет назад

Huge gratitude and respect for your consideration and empathy to think of posting this!

@ronawilson6955 2 года назад

That was an amazing practice. Been on my feet all day and am just also recovering from being a bit I’ll, so that was just perfect. Love the twists. The truth affirmations are also so poignant too. Thank you all. X

@jomcb27 4 года назад

Thanks for this - my sister recommended chair yoga for me - I have a on-going mid spine pain and waiting on pain relief surgery after COVID-19 - this practice was great while I'm at home social distancing.

@jgreenhh 8 лет назад

Finally my mom and I can do something really together! She will be happy, cause we never found something 100% wheelchair friendly. Thank you Adrienne :)

@animalsforsmartpeople7346 8 лет назад

I thought the same thing! I've been doing Yoga with Adriene for years now, and always wanted to get my mom on board, but she has limited mobility. I'm SO happy to share this with her! Thank you, lovely Adriene! Good luck to all!

Thank you so much for this video I’m in wheelchair and I’m so grateful for you taking your time and making this for myself and others as our disability should not exclude us from doing what others can so again thank you so much really thoughtful of you and I also suffer with a lot of pain and found this really relaxing a simple video but with big benefits so thank you again x x

@sarvigirl 6 лет назад

Thanks, Adriene! I broke my ankle and have been attempting some back yoga poses. This was a nice change of pace that didn’t hurt my leg at all! Always love your videos! I do one everyone morning (when I’m not broken!).

The Universe has aligned once more! I got into a mild car accident today (am totally fine - just a sore shoulder!), and I knew I wouldn't be able to do the usual planks, down dogs, etc, and this is absolutely perfect for me today!

As a recovering stroke patient this is really a helpful video. Just proof that doctors don't know everything. I wasn't supposed to move or talk again. I'm moving and talking. It's not as good as it was but I'm getting there.

@spinalman33 3 года назад

As a paraplegic who practices tai chi every day it is very much appreciated to get some good yoga instruction. Your non-sequiturs are refreshing. My service dog Logan says hello to Benjie. FYI When I reach down for stability I grab hold of my tire or push rims. Few chairs have low handles. Power chairs have armrests at elbow level.

@katiebooze-mooney8496 8 лет назад

Thank you so so so much for this. My father is in a wheelchair and we have been talking about yoga for people like him. He was very active before his accident put him in a wheelchair and he misses movement. This is so great.

Thank you so much Adriene! It means the world to me to have these and I struggle with auto immune diseases one of which is rheumatoid arthritis. I have been following a clean eating diet and know that excercise is so important for health. I plan to follow your program everyday!! Thanks again and many blessings to you and yours.❤️🤗

Hi Adrienne thank you for providing this video. I severely injured my right knee after falling at the beach. I am absolutely gutted that I couldn't do yoga anymore due to my bad knee but thanks to you I can exercise so I am eternally grateful for this video. Please keep more videos like this coming.

@kathyallen2211 4 года назад

Hi Adrene! Thank you for bringing light into these recent trying days/months. I'm an occupational therapist & work at a school with children and young adults with significant physical disabilities. Since March (due the Corona Virus) I've been trying to provide services via zoom and virtual activities. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO - and so do several of the families I'm working with. Doing this video "together" has added another dimension to what I worried would be unproductive sessions. Yoga and a new sense of accomplishment and confidence is carrying over into my students' every day lives at home. They are learning that yoga truly is for everyone with so many benefits. The only issue is that videos like this are limited. I'm hoping that you'll consider making more.... We love you! Namaste :)

@MsViolena 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video! My mum is a wheelchair user since almost a year and feels very stiff and tight, because of chemo therapy. I´ll show her video and really hope it will help her to feel a bit better.

@vickyschilder 4 года назад

Hey A. So I’ve been doing yoga with you for about two years. You’ve changed my life, my body, my soul - all for the better. Recently I injured my right knee and have been going to PT. Prognosis? Sprained ligaments. No yoga. Lots of strength training for my “long elegant weak muscles” lol. However, couldn’t stand it anymore. Knew you would have something. Looked up this video. Have done the cycle twice. Thank you so much for all you do for the yogi community. Namaste lover girl. XX to Benji, too!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

@haiku5756 6 лет назад

Thank you Adriene! I recently was in the hospital for ankle surgery and am now home recovering. I have been practicing with you for almost three years and felt such a relief today to hear your voice and to do this with you. Thanks for thinking of all of us! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌

@Lady0asis 5 лет назад

#ywaembrace day 5: I'm glad this video was part of the calendar. It gives me perspective on how important it is to make tools accessible to everyone. We all may need the same thing, but the path to achieve it may be different. Thanks Adriene for listening to the community and providing these tools.

@Native-Kitty 8 лет назад

I usually don't comment, but I have to say that this is a GREAT idea! I'm gonna show this to my older sister. She's not in a wheelchair, but the has major back problems. This would be great for her to begin with (with the doctors permission of course). Thank you Adriene!!!

@dankalacikova3542 Год назад

Today I fell down from bicycle..my face got some really painful brushes and my knee is not easy to move. But thank's to Adriene...I still can do so some evening yoga, like every day. Bless you ❤

@nirahshaheen3994 Месяц назад

Dear Adriane, thank you so much for these yoga videos. When I am so stressed and anxious, I always play your videos. Seriously, you are a life saver! Thank you so much for helping me.

I did this one earlier in the month, so did Refresh & Replenish instead :) Have a great day everyone!

@sarahelizabeth624 8 лет назад

Hi Adriene, I just wanna say thank you so much for this beautiful practice. This day last year I had a terrible car accident and was unable to walk for two months. I used a wheelchair and I never thought I would do yoga again. Now I'm thankfully fully recovered and working on inversions ! I was so surprised to see you did this wheelchair yoga practice today of all days. It really helped me reflect on my recovery this whole year and I can't thank you enough. Sending lots of light to you.

@HeatherPughYoga 8 лет назад

Congratulations on your recovery. Sending love & light for continued health your way!

@sarahelizabeth624 8 лет назад

Thank you so much. Send you light to you.

@dianeraque8732 3 года назад

I wanted something to do as I recover from my hysterectomy, and this was perfect! Thank you, Adriene! You are the best :)

@nataliebird8644 4 года назад

wow thank you once again Adriene. Strained my calf and I am off most weight bearing for a while so this saved me. I have been doing all your 30 day challenges and had to stop at day 160 or. so... missed you every morning but now I can do this :) you are very special and so is Benji :)

@jkrotke1 7 лет назад

Thank you for this! I broke my leg recently and have been wanting to keep up a yoga practice as I heal, and this practice was great. Looking forward to doing some chair yoga and some low to the ground yoga over the next few days.

@AAIVE 4 года назад

i love this! i hope you’ll start a series, i just love the gentle energy and the adaptability for those of us with conditions that limit certain movements. i felt so refreshed after this, so thanks very much! 💛

@tammaragardner9160 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this! I had foot surgery this week and have a very heavy cast on my right leg. I needed something to help keep the spine healthy and flexible while I’m recovering. This is perfect.

@ShakespeareOfBorg 8 лет назад

Thank you for this video! On days that I can't walk I can now still do yoga!

@Tiny7795 5 лет назад

My first thought after my car accident in December was, but I want to keep doing yoga with Adriene! I unfortunately can't keep up with 30 days of yoga yet, but when I'm walking again you can bet I'll be there! Thanks for making a video I can do in the meantime. And thanks for making the world a better place.

@Ginatus 2 года назад

Substituting this for today's calendar practice because it's really late and I just wanted to sit on my bed and do yoga lol. I was so tired that I kept zoning out during practice :D

@stephenlightbown7346 7 лет назад

How have I missed this video from October? Last year I emailed Adriene to ask if she would consider posting a video to her You Tube channel for wheelchair yoga. I love the videos Adriene posts and have adapted a number of movements to suit my needs but thought I'd be cheeky and make a request for a routine you could do in a wheelchair. No idea if this video is in response to my email but regardless THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this amazing video and apologies this thanks comes so long after you shared the video. It's absolutely perfect and 11 minutes of yoga magnificence.

@joveegillen6966 2 года назад

@KeepTheDoubleSpace 7 лет назад

I am a wheelchair user and was really happy to see this video. I've been binge watching your videos of late. I know watching yoga videos in my yoga pants doesn't count as exercise, but my personal approach is to watch a routine out and assess what my body can and can't manage, or what would be medically inadvisable. If the routine has enough content that I can do, I go ahead and stretch or just rest in lotus and breathe when there are bits I can't. I have my own tried and tested routine but we all need some variety and I love your videos! This routine will defo come in handy for when I'm in my chair and have some time on my hands. One for the train maybe. Thanks again. xxx

@TheHappyQuadriplegic 4 года назад

Hi ☺️ I’m a quadriplegic C4 C5 C6! My injury came from a diving accident 2 years ago. I was only able to move my eyes! I’m doing much better now. I recently started making videos to help motivate those like me! Please consider checking out my channel! Thank you 🙏 god bless!!!

@ASMEBUST87 8 лет назад

God Bless YOU ❤ I regained the use of my legs a year ago, and found your videos a month ago. This will be so great for when my legs arent feeling that great and super shakey. seriously, THANK YOU✌

@heliagrey 2 года назад

I've been following the April '22 calendar verbatim- and it's been eerie, how often the daily practice provides what I didn't realize I needed. Today I'm sick w/ a low fever... thought I would have to break my months-long yoga streak- then saw this brief, accessible yoga practice on my calendar, and felt humbled and grateful. Felt like I was actually helping my recovery, rather than stubbornly pushing through something that would elongate it. Thank you!

@pamd09 8 лет назад

This is awesome! Would you be able to do another wheelchair yoga that's a little bit longer?

@emilybastong3896 2 года назад

Refresh Day 28: Day 15 for my personal 365-day yoga journey. This practice was rather challenging since my cat decided to chill on my shoulder the whole time, but it also made me feel incredibly good. Haven't smiled that much in some time. Thank you for making yoga inclusive🥰

@angelwolf5089 2 года назад

Lol. Cat antics definitely enhance the routines, don't they 😸? Even when they are intrusive. I now make it a point to incorporate kitty's need to join me 💕

@emilybastong3896 2 года назад

Personal Energize Day 9, 57 days in a row. Still hip pain, still figuring out how to keep my yoga journey going, so I did the next chair video I could find. Not completely satisfied but I do need to rest that hip, soooo... I hope it gets better soon

@emilybastong3896 2 года назад

Personal Energize Day 10 and here again... it's really hard to commit to a practice that doesn't harm my injured body any further as I'm really ambitious and feel like catering to my needs right now is right, but it also feels like cheating. I grew up with the belief that no matter the circumstances you just have to push through. It's a really toxic way of thinking I know but it's also something that's really hard to shed. So instead of comitting to this month's calendar I'll commit to this: I will keep up my daily practice but I will only do this video (or similars if I can find any) until my doctor's appointment in two weeks and take their advice from then on. So here's to day 58 in a row and day 1 of actually listening to my body. Namaste

@daniellebennis2126 Год назад

Thank you for this Adriene! I was born with spina bifida so im in a wheelchair because of it and its sometimes hard to find good workouts for me. Lately ive been extremely stressed and my anxiety issues have been super bad so ive had trouble with finding ways to relax my body i hope this will help me.

@graciechastain6239 2 года назад

Refresh day 28- this was a lovely practice. I thought it might not be the best practice for me since I'm not in a wheelchair but I was wrong. This was a good way to start out the day.

@michelleoneill6924 3 года назад

Facing non-weight-bearing surgery beginning next week on my feet, and I am terrified of the inactivity and losing core and muscle strength. First, I will have my right foot done, then my left. Did you find a yoga practice to exclude extremities that are non-functional?

@williamb7275 2 года назад

One I have never done! Short but exactly what I needed. Refresh day 28. 571 days in a row.

@sietske1630 2 года назад

@lunasmum6869 4 года назад

Very relaxing and now I can do some yoga! Love the dog. Did he/she knock something over during the video?

@figureheadshanties 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for this - I'm just adjusting to life with a fractured ankle and it's been so helpful. I don't suppose you could do a vid for people in a cast? I'm aware I could do some floor work, and I will, but one of your loving, encouraging videos would really help!! Lots of love xx

Hello Gill! I will add your request to the list! In the meantime, check out my Seated Yoga playlist for some other practices you can do with a bum ankle.
