Heart And Hips Yoga

Heart And Hip Yoga is a 26 min Hands Free Practice. This session invites you to find release and surrender to a FLOW state. Tend to tight shoulders and hips. Pay attention to how they are connected to your mental and emotional state.

Gain flexibility and stability on the mat so you can cultivate the same off the mat. Grab a small towel, necktie, pillowcase or yoga strap (if you have it) for this session and let's Find What Feels Good.

Namaste. Let me know how it goes down below!

    1. Download the monthly calendars (they come in the emails when you subscribe to the newsletter), they're great to give some structure...or just start True over again 🙂

      Cheers from a cool, grey Brussels, Pauline

    2. Hi Adriene
      Thank you so much for all the love and energy you have brought into my life. I have been working with you for the past three months and feel much more bendy in my body and mind. You are a wee blessing.
      Much love and light to you. Namaste from New Zealand

  1. Dear Adrien
    Love your power and as you write-feel it too in far away Switzerland, even when I am not able to practice because of a surgery.
    I enjoy the videos in my mind.

  2. Hi Adriene from Scotland. I have been doing your videos for about 3 months now and reaping the rewards- thank you.
    It’s Father’s Day today in Scotland. I bought my gorgeous husband and father to my two babies a keep cup. Thanks for the suggestion. Louise

  3. Wonderfully! Just what I needed to hear today and the practice was yummy! Thank you x

  4. Adrienne,

    What an awesome workout! One of my faves!!!
    Since doing your Yoga my osteoporosis has been diminishing!!!
    THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!!
    My new mantra:
    Namasatadrienne - HaHa!!!

  5. Dear Adriene. I was stiff and sore and tense, this was just the deep stretch and relaxation I needed to re-balance and re-focus. Thank you from my heart to yours. I just know the rest of today will be better because of this sequence. Namaste!

  6. I could barely get on the mat today due to my sciatic pain but this practice really really helped me so much. What a gift. Thank you for doing what you do and somehow always giving me what my head and body need!

  7. That was Wonderful once again just what i needed, Thanks for all the Love & the Energy that You put out to the world. Namaste :))

  8. Another just-in-time body fix from Adriene. Thank you. As always this was just what I needed to practice, hear, feel. You’re the best, Adrienne.

  9. thanks Adriene , that was great , been having a bit of sciatica this past week , so that was the perfect practice !!

    bisous xx

  10. This was yummy! Didn’t feel
    Like doing a heavy duty workout yet was feeling restless. This helped a lot, thanks!

  11. Yummy..perfect to re-center. I may do this one many times more. Moshe Danke as they say here on Bonaire. (That is many thanks.)

  12. I ❤️ every yoga practice you create!
    I am addicted to my time on the mat! Thank you for keeping me going!!!

  13. Hello Adrienne!
    Greetings from the Philippines!
    Thank you for this first vid. Looking forward to practice this tomorrow.

  14. Thank you so much for this flow. This was perfect for my recovering rehabbing groin pull. I will surely repeat it again and again.

    1. I was reading through the comments just now to see if this video would help for a pulled groin. It's serendipitous, I think!

  15. First day of recommitment to my daily practice after stressful season. That was perfect balance of relax and invigorate. I'm ready for my day!

  16. Adriene,

    This practice was, as promised, very yummy! I am a third year veterinary student and a runner so I tend to hold a lot of tension in my shoulders and hips. This has been one of my favorite videos so far, so thank you very much for this practice!

  17. Namaste, dear Adriene, dear all yogi,
    on June 21 it is Yoga day. Please join any public yoga sessions to leave a sign:
    peace begins within ourselves.

  18. Thanks Adriene that was such an affirmation of why I value my at home daily practice. Gentle but powerful. Thank you for all you do for this community.

  19. Adrienne, you've made a huge difference in my life. Your positive attitude and awesomely hip videos make me laugh, think deeply about myself, and entertain my yoga soul. As a man, I was sceptical about the power of yoga, not knowing much about it. After one single video, your approach hooked me. I like that your yoga spoke to me in a way I wasn't ready for. My family has noticed the difference too...all positive things. Thanks from Canada... keep on making us smile. Mike.

  20. I believe that you are the female version of Mr. Rogers, spreading love and light to all through the video screen. If you don't know what I"m talking about, go see the documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor? I think you'll understand.

    Today is my birthday, and it has not been an easy one. In trying to figure out what might lift my spirits, I thought, Yoga With Adriene. Thank you.

    1. I love this comparison! In the same way that Mr. Rogers taught us all safety and trust and the power of community, so we find the same in the FWFG community with Adriene.
      Happy birthday, Debra! I hope there is light and life in it for you after all.

  21. I thought that I would need a little more "umph" from a practice today but my body loved the quiet, calm movements. After a week of studying this was much needed. The towel over the eyes was a stretch for me but it was so yummy. Thank you.

  22. Adriene - So happy I "accidentally" found you on You Tube. During one of your practices, you mentioned bringing more people to yoga, and I was instantly inspired to have a yoga birthday celebration at a local studio. Adding cupcakes and wine may have helped insured its success. Thank you for sharing your spirit.

  23. This felt sooooo good! This is exactly what I needed to finish my weekend! Thank you

  24. Great short Video, my Iyengar Teacher called this strap work which is one of my favorites. Strap work enables me to get into sore spots and provides relief. Thank you for providing these free videos for my home practice. Blessings and nasmaste

  25. HI ADRIENE.
    I JUST LOVED THIS FLOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE MY YOGA GO TO SITE.
    OCEANS OF LOVE TO YOU FROM AUSTRALIA.

    NAMASTE,
    SARAH XX

  26. Namaste Adrienne! That was a beautiful way to start my first Monday morning at hom after leaving a super-stressful job. Not sure where the future will lead me, but I know I want a daily yoga practice As central part of it. Thank you for making that goal so accessible, the doing it is up to me, but you make it easier for me to make it happen. Love and blessings , Paula xo

  27. Been struggling with low back and hip pain for several months now, left hip very tight even though I have a full range of movements. Burst a neck disc years ago (left side) and have never liked the two until today. A lovely practice I will to again. Thank you.

  28. Good Monday Morning from NC -
    I have been using your videos for the last several years to help me stretch and strengthen. I am a runner and you've been the perfect addition to my training! Today's (well, yesterday's) video was perfectly timed to help me with my hips as I am often tight. Thank you, thank you!!!

  29. Thank you! I have an old shoulder injury that seems to cause tightness in both my right shoulder and hip. This heart and hip opener was perfect after a long drive that left me a little out of whack and tight.

  30. Feel totally relaxed now... This is not just a hip and heart opener it is also a mindfulness relaxing in the moment opener too. Thank you.

  31. I had a persistent pain beneath my right shoulder blade last night and this morning. Did this practice and it's gone! Thank you!

  32. that was fantastic. Any suggestions for me. I have pain on sitting crosslegged. Used to be able to do it but now am 56 and have lost flexibility there. suggested practices? I do pile up pillows and stuff them up in my knees. thank you! yoga with my cat socks in blanco, tx

  33. My cat loves yoga, and he was particularly interested in today's practice. He spent most of the time hanging onto my yoga strap and chasing it around... Not as relaxing as it could have been, but definitely entertaining!

  34. I rocked out to an incredible Washington DC Social Justice U2 concert last night but awoke feeling my 60 young years! This did the trick to get my body ready to dance with my grandkids today! Thank you, Adriene!Respect Existence or Expect Resistance!

  35. My 6 year old daughter and I have just enjoyed your wonderful practice in our sunny garden in London. Namaste x

  36. I love that I now do yoga at home with your videos. I think the videos are very detailed. Very enjoyable and relaxing. Thanks so much for creating them. <3

  37. I think that has just become my new favourite along with Sleepy bedtime practice. Thank you so much.

  38. Thank you for providing a space to leave the terrible news of the world and feel at peace.

  39. Definitely needed this hip/heart opener!! I'm back in school this summer and the combination of school stress and carrying a backpack around has made my muscles a lot tighter. At home yoga makes me feel much better!

  40. Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVED your Heart and Hips video. There was a definite shift and opening in my hips that was needed. And my heart goes out to you in full bloom - thank you Adriene x

  41. This programme was fantastic! I really got to feel the connection between heart and hips, between parts of my body I never thought were connected. I am so happy you do this and that I have found you. My ambition for the summer is to get going doing more yoga more regularly in order to have a good foundation and routine established before autumn comes!
    Namaste and thank you thank you thank you <3

  42. Did it! Loved it! Have been doing some hip stretches for pain, and that stretch crossing one leg over the other was a great addition to what I've already been doing! Thank you so much! Plus I just always feel good after working along one of your videos!

  43. I used a tube sock and it was perfect! until she said to put it over my face, that's when i realized the kitchen towel would have been better :p great practice!! <3

  44. Dear Adriene,
    I am 51 and just started yoga last year. I am loving it and I already see changes in my body. I loved the practice today, a lot of stretching!
    I’ve had shoulder problems forever so I just have to go easy when I’m on my fours.
    Thank you for your videos!
    Love,
    Cleusa

  45. Excellent as usual with your sessions. And always good for a few giggles along the way! You are a treasure. #greatful

  46. Do you have a yoga stretch sequence for the out hips? I have a very tight, sore muscle in my left hip.

    Thanks in advance!! Love you!!

  47. I work at a desk all day and this was a much-needed practice. My hips are fussing at me and thanking me at the same time. I also enjoyed the shoulder work at the beginning. Thank you Adriene!

  48. I had an injured hip and I had to stop practising Yoga for a month. I've been diagnosticated bursitis in my right hip. I was wondering if any of the hip yoga videos could be good for me to improve my condition and make my way back into Yoga. Thank you.

  49. And I love you Adrienne! Thanks for helping me start the day loosening up and invigorating my body. This workout is a perfect one for me at the moment. I found some parts really easy, some parts more painful and stiff, but always, always after a workout with you I feel sooooooo good! Namaste

  50. Thank you so much for this yummy yoga practice! All afternoon i had tension in my shoulders and the upper back but found great relief with the opening up the chest and heart routine 🙂 Thank you my friend <3!

  51. Loved your video Adrienne. Have done Yoga all my life but as I get older I'm getting stiffer but your alternative poses really help. Feel better after one session.
    You're wonderful!
    Love from Melbourne, Australia.

  52. YWA has changed my life. I am so grateful for access to an at home practice with a versatile, inclusive, encouraging instructor. I am not coordinated nor flexible and I have established a regular at home practice with Adrienne and the global YWA community! Namaste

  53. I was intoduced to you by friends for the 30 day challenge- just what I needed to get back to my mind, body, and spirit after a very bad fall. Keeping on with your other videos as I move towards 60. Thank you for sharing your talents, motivation, and inspiration.

  54. Time with you is transforming! I am living with Cancer...and thanks to this practice , I feel I am alive!! Thank you Sincerely! XXXXXXXX

  55. Thank you, Adriene,
    You are a loving soul as well as a professional and compassionate teacher. I hope your day goes well.

  56. This was just perfect after day 11 of Dedicate. My hips needed a good stretch and it felt so good to open up the heart and feel so alive and embrace the day thus far (I love how you say this). Thank you. Namaste xo

  57. I had to do a little search for this class, but it was perfect for my strained sartorius muscle. It feels great after practicing hopefully after doing this class for a few weeks I'll be back to normal. Thank Adriene! Love you too!

  58. Hey Adriene,
    I used this as day 6 in devotion as you suggested due to weak core(3 kiddos :)). I have so enjoyed doing yoga with you. Much like many others have commented on YouTube, I didn’t like other yoga videos. They felt unattainable to me. But you are kind and gentle with your instruction. For instance, on the kove(not sure what it’s called) where we let our leg fall out to the side while trying to keep hips on the ground, was very difficult for me and I had a very small range of motion there(again weak core) but you encouraged us where we are! Thank you so much. Lots of love to you. ❤️

  59. Hello friends,

    Anyone else out there adapting these videos because of a broken foot with cast? I found this practice to be very easily modified. If you happen to be in a similar boat and can recommend one of Adriene’s videos that you found easy to make work within these limitations, I’d really appreciate it if you would reply with the title. I’ve searched for floor, gentle, and similar terms, but I haven’t had best luck. Any thoughts or recommendations appreciated : )

    Cheers : )

  60. Love this and the energy you bring, you have a way with words and connection to each person, allowing us the connection with ourselves.

    Thanks you.
