Yoga for Core (and Booty!) - 30 Minute Yoga Practice - Yoga With Adriene 

Thank you Adriene to remind us all the true essence of yoga. I started the session with the intension on working superficially on body part's but you gently reminded me why I do yoga... To connect my mind-body-soul, to show self-love and to gain energy. XO

wow. at the end in reclined cobbler’s pose I put my hands on my stomach and... I wasn’t revolted. I wasn’t ashamed. for the first time in my life, I liked my stomach in all of its softness. I just laid there and cried happy tears for a while.

Think of the reasons you are strengthening your core “that aren’t toxic”. I really love how you said that, it made me think about the real reasons I should be doing core workouts and exercising in general. Thank you for starting my day off right and opening my mind.

"What are all the ways that a healthy core supports me that aren't toxic?" What a powerful and important question and thought! This almost had me in tears. You bring so much needed light and love into the world. Thank you, Adriene!

- Day three of UNION 3rd of Nov 2023 Helloo, good to see you here, its Boo! Man, ngl i was SO close to skipping the practice, since its already close to midnight and i was hungry, but i managed to convince myself by thinking i'll only do a few minutes. Then 28 mins passed by, and i realized i actually did the whole thing! Im very glad i did, this session was very yummy

"Appreciate your body and remember that we can focus on core and booty but we need to remember why, why we're doing it... What are all the ways in which a healthy core supports me that are not toxic, that make me feel good?" This meant so much to me and reminded me why I watch your videos. I can feel my relationship and trust in my own body is growing.

i'm a ballet dancer and i hardly ever feel anything from core/butt workouts because i have buns of steal but LEMME TELL U. I did this yesterday and there are muscles sore in my booty that i haven't felt worked out in YEARS. GOD BLESS.

Yoga With Adriene getting me through this pandemic. Thank you Adriene for spreading positive vibes! :)

Literally almost cried after hearing you said “awesome work guys”. Have been working all day and you were the only one that patted on my back. Thanks.

UNION ♾ | November 3, 2023 | My legs and glutes haven't seen this kind of intensity in a while now, so I have no doubt that I'll be feeling this tomorrow! 😅 But it feels good to start rebuilding some stamina and strength after a bout with the flu. Now I'm off to celebrate my son's 19th birthday! 🙏

Made it to the mat. It is hot. I did not want a long practice, even 28 minutes. Started. Come on Adriene, this is the same as yesterday's calendar practice. Kept going, undeterred, as it continued to be like Monday's routine. Then it dawned on me. I had clicked on that one again. 😝 Moved over to Tuesday and this nice practice. Process day 20. 289 days in a row.

22:33 this woman talking about self-love without explicitly saying self-love. I cry and feel ashamed that I tell myself all those mean things. I should love myself more. Thank you Adriene. Your videos always remind us what's important among all the noises these days.

Came for the booty workout, returning for the body positive message 👏👏👏 great sesh!

Did I just get tricked into doing pushups, squats, and crunches? haha

Wow that was intense but terrific! Thank you for this awesome yoga practice Adriene, my body definitely feels more toned, and stronger after that. This will definitely be a practice I return to in the future. I hope you have a great day, see you tomorrow for more wonderful yoga practices. The Awesome in me bows to the awesome in you, Namaste my friend. 🙏🧡

I love how my body feels after i finish and im laying flat on my mat. It feels like my whole body is sinking into it. This is incredibly important to me because im a recovering addict and its hard to feel like that without drugs but my yoga workout does it everytime! Thank you adriene. You are truly motivating me to work out every night and to push my body past where my mind wants to go!!!!

Soooo, push-ups, loads of squats and those ouch-y thigh pulse things...and yet I'm smiling, stretched, relaxed and feeling good?! Amazing Adriene strikes again!

Spark day 2. 636 days in a row.

Building mindfulness while toning your body can actually be this fun and there’s no need to treat yourself awfully because your body type does not conform with the so-called “beauty standard” of today, but rather embrace yourself, your uniqueness, and your being authentic 😉✨ Thank you so much Adriene for this all-embracing practice full of love and respect for one’s body and mind 💗 Namaste 🙏🏻✨

I didn't bring my block to the mat today and normally I'd just be like "eh, I'll do it next time". Not today! I went back upstairs and snagged it, becuase life is too short not to try new things. I also usually would have skipped the move at the end where you are in the reclined twist and lift your neck and shoulders up, but I did it anyway! I am SO pleased with this practice! Thank you so much for sharing! Amazing videos as always 😁❤️

Day 3 complete I had a little trouble with today's practice. One of my hands had trouble baring weight but with a little modification I was able to get through the practice. 11/03/2023

What I really love about Adriene's videos is that she encourages us to eliminate toxic thought about body image. Yes we may be here to get a bigger bum or abs but she reminds us that it is not all about what our body looks like, but also the importance of being thankful for our bodies appreciating them for how they are. She also doesn't show off washboard abs or anything like some other fitness/yoga channels on here even though we can tell she had a beautiful slim healthy body. Instead she is encouraging to everyone despite our level of fitness or abilities. Thank you Adriene for your amazing yoga videos and for helping me feel better and more appreciative of my current body!

Spark Day Two ✨ Done!

I really loved that she focused on how working on your core helps your posture and back instead of the superficial reason on making the torso smaller. I also found myself enjoying the squats. I went very slowly and with my breath. It felt a bit like a tai chi version of squats instead of torturing myself.

I know you probably get thousands of messages all the time thanking you but I need to write one more. Two days ago I was on the verge of a panic attack, couldn't breathe and felt like the world was falling down around me. I put on one of your videos to help and help it did. The alternate nasal breathing worked amazingly plus your calming voice and yoga routine helped me calm down an avoid a panic attack. So I just wanted to thank you and for helping me

Union day 3. A great and relaxing practice. I'm really proud of myself for completing the practice unlike the last time I did it😅. Thanks Adriene and everyone. Namaste🙏

November 3, 2023. Thank you Adriene 🤍

Don’t u love how she never asks you to subscribe or follow or buy some shit it’s just pure YOGA 😭❤️ so grateful

I’ve had a break from you’re yoga Adrienne and not in a good way….. having more drinks not stretching giving too many people a part of me, even smoking a couple of cigarettes???? Indeed leaning on all the wrong things!! 2 days of Adrienne’s yoga and I’m found again…… Thank you for doing what you do, you manage to give a kind of workout with forgiveness when I can’t quite stretch as I used to… Lots of love Diane xxx

Day 248 of the current run. I did loads of wutang mudras on this one.

It seems so weird to me that you get any down votes. Thanks for all the yoga practices. I appreciate your approach very much.

Wow 👏 I did this on one of the hottest days of the year in the UK, gosh did I sweat 🙏

Today's session felt awesome ! I took it slow, did the squats at my own pace, and it went great. I loved how you talked about "integrity" at the end, it really made me feel that by adapting the exercices I was being respectful towards my body :)

Adriene, thank you for sticking out over the past year. I have been in an insecure state since covid. I have been worrying about my future, working at a job that I did not picture myself in, wanting my body to look sexy, over complicating my next meal, workout, worrying about how I look, etc. My anxiety has gone through the roo! My life is no where near what I want it to be. Today I really wanted to do a HIIT workout, instead I d allowed myself to feel, allowed my self to relax and realize it's ok to take it easy sometimes. I don't need to go to the gym everyday and lift heavy ass weights. All I need is my mat. I want to push myself further, believe in myself more. Your videos, your classes have helped me see hope. They have helped me achieved confidence, strength,flexibility, support, and most importantly self love. I have been on this yoga journey with you since 2018, I have felt a difference in my personality and outlook on life. I feel so loved everytime I roll out my mat; even on the days that feel like crap. I am tearing up as I write this, but the YWA community has helped through hardships, and I can't thank you enough. I have learned to be patient with my self and maybe one day I too will become a Yoga instructor. For now, I will continue on this journey and continue to learn. Gracias por todo y gracias por estar en mi vida loca. Con mucho amor y paz. - Sam from Dallas,TX ❤

Goes by super quick. I love the standing on the hands in the forward fold. I do that most practices. UNION NOV 2023

Jul 2, 2022 05:13 Intention : spark the power within Power practice but doesn't hurt my soul I love this sequence ❣️ I recently read in a book called How To Make Diseases Disappear by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee (disclaimer : I am not promoting anything I just want to share this book for someone might need to read this too) how important our booty is to our well-being and this session is perfect for that goal of achieving yogi butt 😊 may we elevate to our higher self this day, the highest in me bows to the highest in you Thank you awesome teacher Adriene, I really admire your ability to do hard core workout while speaking to us your wisdom. You rock 🤘 See you tomorrow beautiful souls 😊 Namaste🙏🏼

Tough one did as much as I could today. ❤

SPARK! What a way to start July 2022! It's what I needed. Such a great practice today. I was challenged and humbled. My wrists. My poor wrists! Good luck everyone! We got this!

She is definitely the best of yoga for beginners RU-vid channel

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Namaste! 🙏🏻

Spark day 2 - What a great practice and mindset! It was challenging for sure especially those squats but your mindset during the practice helped me a lot. We need to work with our body not against it and that's why I love yoga so much! Thank you so much Adriene for guiding me to find peace with my body and mind. Namaste🙏💌💫

All those chair poses I've done in the last 1,5 year really paid off during the squats. Also the standing cat/cows made me feel all the muscles in my belly, I even let out a: whoa... 🤣

Beautiful of you to remind that yoga is about union. 🙏🕉️🌺💗

This was a great practice for me. In the summer my yoga gets ignored somewhat as I bike & do outdoor things more. I've had osteoarthritis for decades but this last year I've have found I have stenosis in lower spine and some disk issues. I am ever reminded that yoga works better for me in managing the pain than any other activity I have ever done and I've never lived a sedentary life. Thank you for this important reminder!

wow, its really booty core flow - yahoo! its all GOOD. find what serves right .... in our PROCESS. thanks for this practice as I settle into a grey monday in SG. Namaste to all practising!

I need to add for all the world to see... I started following Adriene about 6 weeks ago. I had gained so much weight and was so so so out of shape. To start I could barely finish, now I add things to work even harder, I’ve lost 15#’s, I’m wearing smaller sizes, I can breathe so much easier, sleep better, the list is never ending. SO... if you think you can’t do it, know that YES you can.

I started yoga thanks to you it was the best decision of my life. I can see so many changes in myself, not only appearance wise, I feel better, I'm more positive, I just feel good. Thank you Adriene

I can't tell with words how grateful I am with these videos. Thanks, Adriene, because you're not just a yoga instructor, but a friend who is always by our side on the practices, see you tomorrow on the mat❤

Had to search for this video. It’s not in the November 2023 calendar just letting you know Adrien to add it into the playlist

Spark Day 2 🙏

I thought I couldn't but in the end everything worked out

For personal reasons, needing a positive mind today, so as a senior yogi I approached this practice with a purpose, peddling through those few chaturangas and loosening up. So I matched your breath and each move Adriene and found my edge and quite easily made it through. I used the neck hammock to enjoy the oblique work at the end 😃👏. You worked your magic in the special way only you can, to help me feel satisfied. So I came off my mat really positive 🙏 see you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

Thank you for the inspiration and removing any shallow reason for doing yoga. Mind, body, heart!

Nice to reconnect with the body. Haven't felt this way in too long. The stiffness greeted me like an old friend hugging too tight and saying "it's been too long!" Happy to be back. I hope to learn to do yoga when I can, and not feel so bad when I don't that I stay off the mat out of shame.

Thanks Adriene , great practice as always , it seemed a bit easier this time round , yes !🤙🙏

Day 20 Process! I had read the comments before the practice, I thought oh no! Chair pose and squat! Now I'm quite glad I could do the chair pose and a bit of modification in squat by using a block( due to my knee injury) and I owe this to YWA that helped me have strenght and motivation! Thank you Adriene and love to all the members and people doing the practice!❤🥰

Thank you Adriene for this video. I'm a fairly chubby dude and often have a lot of insecurities about my weight, fitness and feeling like my body isn't good enough especially in doing yoga. But you reminded me today that my body is enough and I'm enough. After this video I felt so at peace and content with my body, I can't wait to do more of your videos, a perfect start to my day

I did this video over the summer, and it nearly killed me. I decided to try it again today, like 6-8 months later, and I was surprised I had energy left at the end. I remember being completely drained last time. So, I kept bracing myself for the workout to get harder, but next thing I knew, it was over. I've been doing strength training (in addition to yoga❤) since the last time I did this. I guess exercise working shouldn't be a surprise, but it's really motivating when you have tangible proof like this!

Thank you Adriene ☀️ Day 2 Spark July’22 See you tomorrow 🧘🏻‍♀️ Namaste 🙏🏻

I love how personal your classes are!

Thank you for remind us WHY we come to the mat. To heal and strengthen our bodies and souls.

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Union Day - 3 had to be substituted for yoga for upper back pain. I have muscle strain from carrying a heavy book 📚 bag. 🛍️ Needless-to-say, I am walking away from being a bag lady to travel lighter. Ironically, I recently taught kids' yoga and our theme was about traveling light, and spreading the light. One year ago this session was substituted for lower back pain. Eventually, I will return to this session. Enjoy everyone. Ase, Ase, Ase! 🦋❤️🦋

I did not want to do this practice today. I felt icky, anxious, and achey. But I'm so glad I persevered and did it! I feel totally rejuvenated!

When I started this video, I was like, "wow this is so much easier than I thought it was going to be!" That's when I realized that for the past month every morning I have been getting up and doing the "Yoga for weight loss" program, and I am seeing a difference! This video was far less challenging, and I was able to keep my balance and breath without falling out! I feel my body growing stronger, and even though I felt the burn in my muscles, I was able to keep the poses without falling down! Thank you so much Adriene for posting these videos and doing this amazing work. I am growing so much as a yogi, and I feel the difference in my body!

Liked the "keep your jaw relaxed" statement in all those squats. Caught me big time. As a rehab'ing cyclist, body control, and not wasting energy, is such a big thing.

"think of all the ways that a strong core can help you without being toxic" - I have been doing yoga with adriene (nearly) daily for a little of 6 weeks now and yesterday my OBGYN told me "WOW, you have a really firm pelvic floor, you must be doing a lot of sports" which is about the coolest thing I have ever heard and so empowering to hear a doctor who examines dozens of women a day actually be impressed. Thanks, Adriene!

I am myself a yoga teacher from India Mumbai. Conduct online classes now all over the world .Well established, have my shows on tv.Still watch your videos sometimes to get motivation and love the way you remind us what YOGA is all about.its not just physical exercise Thank you Adrienne.Much love💕 @getfitwithkarishma

Really great as always!! Thank you Adriene, I now practise yoga every day without fail and my day wouldn't be complete without you 😉 Special request for a practice: would you consider doing a video on yoga for grief? I've lost two people in the last few months and some heart openers and other good things would be really helpful, thank you. Namaste for all that you do 🙏

For some reason I thought this was a new Video, I’ve never come across it before! I’m always a little scared of core-cantered videos but this one felt so good!

After a six month bout of illness where I my muscles had steadily atrophied I've finally been given the green light to start exercising my abdominal area again. This is the first video that did not try to shred my core into submission and was fun!

It’s a holiday here so I decided to do this in the morning instead of in the afternoon as usual and woowwzaaa this is something else!! 😂😂 thanks adriene for making me sweaty and now am ready for anything 🤣

your videos are the only ones i don’t stare at the time for. you’re so good at making me stay in the present moment.

Thanks!

Remember why you are here... you are the best Yoga and movement/body teacher I have ever encountered

🏋️‍♂️Process Day 19🔥 Spent more time on my mat after this practice following a bedtime yoga video into self guided and I’m so sleepy right now, it’s not even funny lol. Sending love and light as always❤️💫 Namaste🙏

This is an awesome workout and one already on my favorites list. As I rediscovered it: "Adriene, these are squats! YOU'VE TRICKED ME INTO DOING SQUATS!"

Union day 3! Adriene’s wisdom is what I’m here for! Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🤎🤎🤎

My body has transformed in over the last year with your videos. Your videos being so readily available and free to use makes it so easy for me to change my mindset.

For July Spark Day 2/07/2022✅🌅🌸🍀 My day starts off right by this evening, as I go for my daily eve. run and my core and booty thanks you deeply😅🧘🏾‍♀️👌🏾👌🏾a great reminder as I get into this regular consistent core muscles and & to me whole body yoga exercise...I am loving it.... Adriene 🫶🏾🫶🏾😅👍🏾👍🏾.This is diff and I got thru it. See you Yogi Lovelies 2moro. Namaste🙏🏾♥️♥️

She is an artist. She takes something and makes it better. I loved the part when she reframed and talked about how we want the whole body to be at one and know why we are doing something.

I know this is an older video but I have been watching Adriene for 3+ years now and have also watched others and This is a great core - booty Go-To! I can honestly say that Adriene is the CORE QUEEN! Other practices I dont usually feel much fire in my core, but when I do one of Adrienes core videos, I am Feeling it for a couple days and I love that! Thank you Adriene for being a fantastic teacher.

Oh dear, after that sequence of squats, when I lay down and think "the best part is coming!", I get Adriene's gentle invitation to tone the abs... She makes it so nice and easy that I just can't refuse and not follow her. This is her magic!

Bless you Adriene. I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊🙏🏼💗🧘🏽‍♀️☯️🌻🌄

pls do a more knee friendly version of this video, I wish I could do it but I'm afraid the squats will make my knees worse

Great core and booty work and I am proud to say this went better today than another time due to my stronger self🙏🏻💚

You have been my savior all through covid! Thank you again for teaching me he true essence of yoga!

Loved this one, Adriene. Thankyou! xx

This was a good one. First time I’ve enjoyed core work. Namaste🙏🏾

Done on November 3rd 2023 💓

what a great practice - i love that the focus is on what your body can do for you and taking the time to be grateful to your body, rather than doing squats and oblique sit-ups for physique. thank you.

I got to the end and didn’t know it was over yet 😅 time must move fast when your enjoying it 30 minutes felt like 10

I started doing yoga in May 19, then I started following Adriene's videos on September 19. At the beginning I was only doing it because I felt like I needed on a physical level, but I was only mildly enjoying it. Now I just can't go without doing at least a 20 min session everyday. This is a wonderful gift to the world, namaste.

Still going strong since January! Ignoring the few days I missed in March for moving, because I'm proud of myself for getting back on the mat after that crazy week and staying consistent ever since!

Namaste 🙏🏻❤️✨💫

I always love the forward folds. It’s like a treat

at the end of the day some times I don't feel wanted in the world but when I put your video on and I do the yoga it makes me forget all the bad stuff in the world and it just makes me feel a whole lot better .I want to thank you because my life would have been alot harder with out all this . THANK YOU SO MUCH

I had to turn up the volume to hear over my crunchy knees. Haha

I have been making sure that i get at least 15 minutes of yoga everyday for almost 2 months now and i am in love with it now. Not a day goes by where i don't feel like doing yoga! I even improvised with a bunch of books for blocks :D

So many squats! 🔥💪🏽 Bless you Adriene 🙏🏼💗🧘🏽‍♀️

Adrienne is such a gem.
