Abs, Arms, and Attitude | Yoga For Weight Loss

06/01/2019 By Yoga With Adriene 63 Comments


Focus on the power of thought as you build strength and awareness in the arms and abdominals. This 31 minute warming practice invites you to work with the body rather than on the body.

We check in with the attitude that surrounds how we feel about our bodies while building upper body strength, waking up the abdominal wall, and bringing some energy to the third chakra or the power center. This sequence will have you stepping off your mat feeling your best, physically AND mentally.

Return to this video to build muscle tone.
Return to this video anytime you need a reset.
I got your back.

Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!

Namaste.

      This was exactly what I needed before going off to work- checking attitude is something I’m going to try to remember to do in times that need a little care- thanks!

      Fantastic way to stay the day. Ive brought you with me to Bhutan where we are doing a lot of hiking to monasteries during the day. This is a perfect complement to that as it helps to stretch before and add some core and arms. Plus Bhutan is the perfect place for some yoga and meditation

    Hi Adriene-question about this pose and safety for people with osteoporosis. Given this research (https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(18)30940-6/pdf) are tgese pses safe or how should they be modified?

    Such a great video! I really appreciated how you encouraged us to work through everything, but never pressured us in any way. Your guiding comments are always helpful, and I love how even though it’s a general video, you make sure to make our practice feel so individual. You’re fabulous!!!

    Love this video! I’ve been working on changing my mind-set towards my body so I love the reminder to work ‘with’ rather than ‘on’ our bodies. I have a long-term shoulder injury. Thankfully I’m recovered enough to do plank and downward dog again but the side plank is rough. Is there a modification that would work the same muscle holds but be gentler on the shoulder? Thanks!

      Hi Sarah. Have you tried bending the bottom leg to the floor instead of doing side plank with two straight legs? That will take some weight out of the shoulder!

    I have had Lupus for 20 years, and most styles of exercise and fitness are very taxing on my affected joints. I have been mixing up your videos for about 2 months now, and I can’t remember when I have felt so strong. Even after a tough workout, I have no pain. Thank you for doing these videos! You are a life saver <3

    That was wonderful. Second yoga workout ever. First one made me almost get sick. I was nauseated and dizzy. Lots of breath work. Only made it fifteen minutes. Today I stuck it out but the side planks were not as long as Adrienne’s but that is okay. I will work up to it. I am happy that I listened to my body.

    Six months ago my body/spirit began telling me that I needed to yoga. It took this long to respond. I am here. I am now. I feel strong and beautiful. Centered and grounded. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. Thank you all who participated with me free your various yoga mats around the world. Namaste.

    WOW! I have never had the confidence to try any kind of exercise yoga before. I always type in “beginner” when I look up these videos, but for whatever reason, today I awoke with a new determination this morning and WOW WOW WOW! I DID IT!

    I feel so empowered and strong and inspired right now. I’ve been feeling really down on myself. I am a nurse and work has been particularly draining, but in this moment, I feel invincible – ready to tackle the day and give my patients the best care I can. Thank you Adreine! I am so overwhelmingly grateful for you and everything you do. Namaste.
