As we continue our journey to better ourselves and to be the best version of ourselves, we must do it mindfully and lovingly.
Core Power Wake Up is a 23 minute yoga practice that will leave you feeling open and strong! WAKE UP and tone your abdominal wall while also tending to your connection to yourself.
Who said that core strengthening had to be a bummer, a pain or a struggle? Come into your own private little love cave, breath deep, and get centered and firm in your core.
There is only one way to find out.
Try this practice and let me know how it goes in the comments down below.
Morning Adriene. Wow 10k run hope it goes well for you. I love all your videos and thank you for making it so enjoyable and fun to practice yoga in my own home. Living in Ireland a lot of our days are dull and wet but turning on your videos lifts my day as it always is bright and sunny in Austin. Could you recommend any on-line courses as I would be interested in in learning more about all aspects of yoga. Thank you again and love to bengy!!!

Exactly what I need. Thank you and enjoy the time with your dad.
I hope you are having a beautiful time with your Father. Can't wait to dive into this practice!! Your core workouts are the best... just as are all of your practices! It is because of your loving approach. Thank you for all you do. Love Youuuuu....
Thank you Adriene. I look forward to a yoga "boost" on Sundays with you. This core work was just what I needed.. you are inspirational as always.. hope your run with your dad was fun. xx
Excellent. Will incorporate everyday xoxo
I think you are an amazing human being for helping yourself to be fit body and soul and in the process to help others. Simply thank you from the center of my heart. God bless you always.
Thank you for a beautiful message this morning!
Thanks so much for this am morning of encouragement. I'm a nurse and had work 28 hours in 2 days. Woke feeling exhausted I read your email. 😉
Thank you Adriene for your beautiful practice and for your positivity. Enjoy your run!
Thanks Adrienne! Lovely power yoga to encourage me through today. Loved the video as always x
What a great core workout! You kicked my butt this morning Adriene and it was much needed. I've been working out many years and was never really into yoga until I found you. More than the yoga itself I love the mindfulness you bring to it, really breaking things down to "Find what feels good" inside and out. I'm truly enlightened and inspired by you. Bless you and thank you very much.
Just added a plough-pose I held for 5 breaths after rocking and before sitting and the feeling of warm love in my chore radiating around was just amazing and so comforting and so new of course ! Once again, a fantastic discovery journey through my body and mind: namasté.
This routine is going to inspire me and will be my routine. I am committed to yoga and race walk. I have found peace and joy and self-respect. Thanks, Adriene. I am wordless.
Wow, totally woke up my mind and body. Thank you for the mindfulness and yoga power. Awesome.
Love your videos! I share them with all my friends and family .. I just started running myself signed up for my first 7mile run11.26km May 19th. If you think Your run is Austin is chilly today I am running here in Ontario in-1 tempeture with Snow! I hope you enjoyed your run with your dad. Keep sending us the positive vibes your an excellent role model ! Cheers
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NAMASTE. 😉
yes. just yes. I say yes.
Ha! I woke up hearing the 10K and my first thought was "oh I'm glad I'm not out there". Never was a good runner, but I gave it a good run : )))) So, is there an April calendar? and if you can change how I am addressed from Cgillum to Cathie that would be awesome. I love you!
Hi Cathie, yes, there is an April calendar. 🙂 You can find the newest calendar every month here on the YWA website under the Calendar heading. Also, I fixed your email subscription information so next week's letter should come addressed to "Cathie".
Wow, you kicked this 65 year old's butt today, Adriene! I really needed that. I've been following you for almost a year now and you have made such a difference in my life, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I had always worked out in one way or another but the wholeness that you bring to my life has been amazing. Thank you and I love you! Hope you had a great time with your Dad.
Wow! Why was that so hard today? I will definitely have to revisit this one! I had a weird/hot flash kind of sweat going on!
Can't wait to try this ❤. Your videos kickstarted my yoga journey and have kept me on the path. So grateful ❤
Oh goodness I am still at the beginner level I guess but thank you for all your positive energy!
HOLY CORE WORK OUT, BATMAN. I've always been too intimidated to go to yoga classes, but have always been so intrigued in practicing it. I am two and a half months into your videos and am actually feeling the buds of what might turn into strength! Thanks for making your expertise so accessible and for your endearingly quirky sense of positivity. Blessings.
LOVED this video. It was a challenge, but a good challenge. I'll return to this one frequently....once my muscles recover! Ha, ha!
Thank you for a great practice today! I look forward to our daily sessions!!
Adriene,
This was exactly what I needed! So often your practices come at just the right time. I did the core yoga workout this morning and then went on 2 bike rides today! I infrequently ride a bike. I am going through a transition AND I am looking to stir things up -- so double whammy to the past and look out future =)
Much Love!
Rachel (Leikela)
All cued up and ready for Monday morning!
It’s as if you read my mind Adriene. Today I am one week sober/dry/ sans alcohol! I wasn’t having wine for breakfast or sneaking whisky into my morning coffee, but I was drinking every night and for a variety of reasons decided that moderation wasn’t going to work for me, so I stopped completely. When your message dropped into my inbox today, it was exactly what I needed to start my second week of... the new me? my new life? my next chapter? I don’t know for sure, but Thankyou, you’re timing was perfect
Always so lovely to get your news and yoga. What wonderful gifts you send and hope you had fun with your dad.
Thanks for a great workout yesterday. I am more sore today than I have been from working out in a long time!
For the past 4 years I’ve walked 3 miles on my lunch break but I recently just opened my own home childcare program and sad to say I don’t get a daily lunch break... I was really missing my “me” time ( I still walk after hours but just not the same) then I found YOU and your 30 days challenge program! I do it daily when the children are napping!! Most days I am able to do 2 days at a time. So I do a lot of repeating days just to build up my strength ! Thank you so much for offering such an amazing program!!! I’m on day 18 ( but I’ve been doing it daily for 25 days). My arms actually have started to have clear definition of muscles , my legs are so toned, and my chubby middle is really starting to trim up!! I’m hooked and so thankful! I also just ❤️ your amazing fun personality!
Kindly, lou lou
Did this practise early this morning in Oslo, Norway. Nice to wake up to. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing them with the world.
All I can say is, OMG, OMG!!!!
Hi Adriene,
I did this core work out tonight in central Viictoria, Australia, where we are enjoying the transition from a very hot summer into a delightful milder autumn (warm days, cool nights). I love your weekly videos,this one was super challenging!!
OMG, I don't think I've got much core strength but I will definitely be working on it. Very inspiring.
Thank you so much....
Adriene you are just so awesome reminding all of us we can return to this practice. I enjoyed pushing myself here but I knew I might not be able to continue some exercises for as long as you can. (I have a cervical herniation so I cant over exert my rhomboid muscles or I pay for it a lot more than other people). But I plan on coming back to this one. I think it's a great growth marker video. I just adore spending my yoga time with you. I have been working through a very serious injury and my time with you has helped me with pain management and thinking positive as healing comes. Yoga is so great for teaching patience as well as awareness. Love love love, I'm sending it your way. So if you hear anything buzzing it's just those good vibrations!
Oh wow! Definitely felt that one! 🙂 Think I'll be keeping this one as a daily core session. I want to be able to do it without feeling it 'quite' so much. 🙂 Thank you so much! Excellent session!
oooh that was hard today... I couldn't do so much of it 🙁
but did most of it (my version) I guess..
thanks Adrienne, I hope to be even 1/4 as good as you xx
As perfect as all the others! This woke up my core so well, yet so lovingly. Your videos are saving my life as I absolutely have no funds for a yoga center or gym membership. I can't tell you how much I appreciate finding so much variety in your videos, your style, your compassion, your happiness!!
Love this. Love you!
Dear Adriene
Will do this video soon.
This morning did TRUE, DAY 12, CENTER. A m a z i n g. Thank you so much.
Adriene, I have a favour.
Would it be possible for you to do a video on Facial Yoga Exercises. It would be greatly appreciated.
Namaste
Adriene you rock ! This is just what I needed ! Thank you so much for all these beautiful yoga videos !
This video helped me come out of a depressive slumber. I feel strong and energized now. Thank you Adriene. <3
Adriene it's like you know me! Lol I definitely wanted to quit and I had to take a few breaks, but I made it through the video! Thank you for being so genuine and understanding!
I Love youuuuu Adriene
I cannot live without your videos
you make me feel good , better after each video
Hope and dream to have a full month practice with you somewhere, somehow
Thank you for your awesome YOU
Girl, you worked us hard with this video! I am going to ache tomorrow.
Couldn't have got through it without your encouragement (seriously, how do you talk and work it at the same time?!).
You're a legend and so am I. Namaste xxx
Hi Adrienne, I started doing a yoga class back in January this year and have loved every minute of it. A lady in the class said to try YouTube to add to my practice.... I then found you! I have been doing this core wake up for the past 2-3 months once a week and found I improve a little each time. I love my group class each week, but also feel in a little "group" here, as you speak as though there are a few of all watching at the same time. I have recommended you to family and friends now, your following is forever growing. Good luck in all you do. I will continue to grow into a yogi (I hope)
Great one. Challenging. But, playful. Always love your videos!!
