Stress Melt - 26 Min Yoga Break

Today, I invite you to take stress energy and root it back down in your foundation.

Trust the foundation and know that each time we come to the mat we are adding to and working with that foundation.

Foundation is important because it allows you to feel where you are coming from and where you are going without having to worry about either one.

Ground, be present, and recharge your batteries.

Having a sense of your foundation takes you making time for yourself. Time to dial in and check stress energy at the door.

Melt it away!

This 26 minute Yoga With Adriene break is designed to help you shift your gears and re-direct energy to serve! Recharge your batteries and use this grounding practice to align or re-align with what feels good.

You have the power!

Let me know how it goes down below!

  1. This was just what I needed today - so much stress for the past two weeks, and just the name of your session "Stress melt" nailed exactly what I needed. Thank you so much from freezing cold Sweden with tons of snow! 🙂

  5. Hi Adriene,

    You videos are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with them and your light with the world. May I kindly request that you credit the great author Maya Angelou. It is your practice to give credit where credit is due maybe it was just a simple mistake. This is a great way to start women’s month and I love this poem by Maya Angelou.

  6. Thanks! I feel much softer and calm again. Greetings from Varsenare, Belgium.

  8. Adriene, I've been following your daily practice since 1st January and I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos and my daily yoga sessions.

    I have ME and am housebound at least 5 days a week. I have problems with concentration, mobility, balance, chronic pain, and in the 10 years I've been ill I have gained 6 stone (84 lbs) in weight.

    Before I was ill I worked in university administration and when I was younger I was a gymnast training for 24hours a week.

    I have dabbled with yoga before I got ill with ME, taking the odd class at my gym for fun alongside my regular workouts. But I have never enjoyed it or felt so much better after a session as I have with your videos.

    The pain and inflammation in my spine is much more bearable, my balance is getting better, and my exhaustion hasn't really been affected too much (the positives outweigh the negatives!!).

    I started with your TRUE practice in January as a monthly challenge, but I soon realised that I was dreading the month ending. I was overjoyed to discover that you're continuing to offer free monthly calendars of prescribed practice 🙂 And although I had to take a week off in February because of a throat and chest infection, I'm sure that I recovered quicker because of your practices.

    So, I just wanted to thank you for all that you do for people like me, who cannot afford classes, but are benefitting daily from your efforts.

    Namaste,

    Gemma

  9. You always seem to know exactly what I need! I'm going through a rough time right now and this anti stress was fabulous! Wish I lived where I could go to your classes!

  10. I woke up feeling so disjointed and spaced out. This was absolutely perfect for helping me get grounded in myself and prepared for a productive Sunday. Thank you!

  11. Thank you, Adriene - this was exactly the right connection and focus for my evening - namaste. Have a beautiful day!

  12. DELICIOUS practice!!! I Choose to RISE everyday this week to practice in the mornings 7 days in a row

  13. Ahh Adrienne my friend you always make me feel good about myself thanks so much. Namaste to you and Benji xb

  14. Thank you Adriene it has been so long since I practiced with you... yesterday I mentioned you during my coaching session and it turns out my life coach practises with you as well!!!
    What a perfect timing for this practice (thank you Universe and Adriene) - exactly what I need at the moment...
    Thank you my lovely, you are amazing

  15. The phoenix bit really spoke to me today, and when I sat up from it I found a feather on my leg! Loved it. Thank you. Namaste!

  16. My stress level has been over the top. Thanks so much for helping me address it. I choose to enjoy life and find what feels good. Namaste.

  17. So powerful and so great before going to bed on a Sunday night. (Just added a little rabbit pose before coming back to sitting, - after the phoenix rising.) Awesome ! Namaste!

  18. Adriene, I’ve been following the practice with you only since Jan this year but wanted to thank you and everyone else who makes this possible for the energy love and support.

  19. So nice!! I did this video right before bed and it felt amazing! My body and mind really needed that, and I can tell I'll finally have a good night's sleep now. Thank you Adriene

  20. Dear Adriene,
    I love your spirit, your expertise - and your videos, I practise everyday and pick
    something suitable.
    Sometimes I would wish for less talking during the sessions, especially this one.
    I hope you don't mind me saing this,
    love and embrace

  21. What a refreshing nourishing practice! Perfect to do in a lunch hour to break up a days work. Thank you Adriene. Namaste!

  22. Hello Adriene and thank you so much for this practice... and all the others since the beginning of this transformative yoga year! Yoga has been such an anchor habit in my life and has transformed how I see life and my projects, and thank you so much for that.
    I have an important question for Sarah Bowman: I live in Europe (more particularly in Paris, France) and I have been downloading your calendars religiously in order to keep up with my daily practice. I am using it as a regular calendar as well to keep tabs on my creative projects, since yoga is about being open and creative, right? I just have one slight problem: my calendar has the week starting on monday, not on sundays. Theredore, I am getting very confused by the shape of the calendar as it is. Of course, I get it, but sometimes i am just looking at the calendar at a glance and getting a whiff of panic when I think I missed a day! Would it be possible to have a calendar that starts on monday, please please please with a cherry on top? It would be so great! Thank you so much in advance and keep up the Good Work!

  23. Adriene. I have been doing yoga with you off and on for at least 2 years - maybe 3 - since my boss/friend (lucky me!) told me about your January challenge a few years ago. Last Otober or so, I decided to get to the mat every day and have only missed a few days since then. I did TRUE this year and just loved surrendering myself to you and whatever yoga practice you were dishing up that day. They are always delicious! I am so thankful for your library of free videos. I return to them over and over again. I have tried other on-line videos just to compare. I find that yours are the most clear and spoken in a voice that is soothing. Your generous, loving, quirky personality shines through; I feel as though I know you! My niece lives in Austin and next time I visit I'd really like to attend a live class with you if that is possible. Thank you into infinity for your good work. And a thank you to the many others who I also provide the support to make these videos possible. I will not have access to a computer for the next several months, but when I return, I will become a member. Thank you and thank you again and again. Namaste.

  24. Thank you Adriene for yet another gorgeous practice. Sending love to the YWA community from France.

  25. Please, please, please, do not think that I am being negative in my post. Could you please credit Maya Angelou as the poet who created your inspirational verses at the beginning of your email? I'm a huge fan of hers (and an English teacher) so please forgive my presumptiousness. Thank you.

    1. P.S.: Sharing your practice and guidance with me has changed my life. I appreciate the love that you give to the world.

  26. @ 7:16 "particularly useful if you've been having a rough day thus far"
    Timing is everything - thank you

  27. Hi, question about the poses where you have one foot forward with knee over and the other foot top on the mat: this hurts the knee that's on the mat, it's kinda like kneecap gets shifted in a way that's not right. If I keep my back toes curled it's ok. Would you recommend a modification for that pose? Thanks!

  28. Adriene,
    I've been a member for a long time....and try to practice regularly.....my heels STILL will not touch the mat in down dog!! Ugh, but I will keep at it. I just want to thank you for helping me and so many other like the practice, your attitude keeps us going. Thanks so much!!

  29. I noticed your Grand Teton sweatshirt today. I moved from there to VT about 18 months ago. I am still in mourning but spend a lot of time focusing on the positives of being back in the east. Today's practice really helped me release some of the deep sadness I have over the loss of the life I left back in the Tetons. I've been holding that stress in my right hip and today's practice left me sobbing as I entered the last child's pose. Thank you for helping me find the space to release some of that stress and take notice of that I do not allow myself to feel on a daily basis. I will probably repeat this practice in an effort to heal.
    Namaste.

  30. Dearest Adrienne, so needed and enjoyed this practice today - I love to see you daily and to hear your kind words of encouragement! Lots of Love from Elisabeth - in Austria xxx

  31. Not feeling strong or proud (working on it) but i do feel supported - grateful for all the good you do Adriene.

    I choose . . .

    Have a productive and happy Friday.

    Namaste-

    beth

  32. Writing from the uk. In lockdown due to covid. I’ve done your videos for years Adriene, but lately I’ve felt like I’ve needed them more than ever. My yoga time after I’ve put the babies to bed is my time. My exercise, and my relaxation.
    I’ve really been feeling the weight of our life style restrictions due to covid lately, and been feeling numb to life.
    You’ve kept me focused and helped me hit the reset button at the end of each day. Your videos help more then you’ll ever know. Keep doing what you’re doing Adriene! XxX
