Welcome to Dedicate Day 30. Per tradition, today will require you to have faith, keep an open mind, and listen to your body.
For the final session of this program, I will not verbally instruct this session, but instead invite you to lead your way. I will take off the mic and practice alongside you, encouraging you to utilize all of the tools you have learned on the journey thus far. Find freedom within the form, use me anytime you need me. I’m here for you! Check in for ideas on what to do next, or simply enjoy the music as you move on your own.
Move slow, be mindful and remember, the breath comes first.
You cannot go wrong with this practice as long as you trust.
You have everything you need. And more.
It has been a total honor to be your yoga guide and even more of an honor to be your friend and fellow human in this process and on this journey.
Remember, it’s not the end.
It is most definitely the beginning.
Namaste,
Adriene
I think there was a little magic in this last practice. My balance was good, I got my feet flat on the ground and even got down to squat without rolling backwards … all firsts for me! Loved it, thank you xxx
I totally agree! I find balance postures a challenge but in this lovely unique practice i found my balance! Thank you. Om shanti shanti shanti, peace peace peace.
What a beautiful way to start the year off with the 30 day Dedicate practice. I am already missing this focused practice and daily attention to self care with the many thousands of others on the team. So empowering.
After only making it half way over the last 2 years I have finally completed 30 days of yoga with you, Adriene. I am so proud.
I have thoroughly enjoyed practicing every day and intend to continue.
This was the first time I had completed the last day so that was a surprise and I enjoyed it. It was good to see how far I’ve come…. I did miss your voice though.
Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks Adriene this was a true learning experience, I felt a peaceful calm come over me today I never felt before,I think I finally see the real beauty of yoga,after all the stringth building its time to free the mind and soul.
Namaste
Thank you Adriene, Dedicate was amazing and my dog Bernie loved every minute too!! Christine, UK xx
This 30 day yoga journey was something extra special. The beginning of 2019 was not what I expected at all, having to deal with unexpected serious family health issues. In the middle of it all, I believe this yoga journey was more helpful than you could ever know. I have been able to deal with the stress and uncertainty with grace, and feel grounded physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Today’s routine was so touching, and heartfelt. Thank you so much for your sharing your passion. Namaste.
Thank you Adrienne, you’ve changed my life and we’ve never met. That to me is mind blowing. I work as a script supervisor and endure some horribly long days but for the last 7 months I have started every day with you no matter how early my calls or how late. Your 3 day challenges keep me motivated as every day will change but yet the yoga is always there as are you. I bow my head to you and all you have accomplished. Namaste
Thank you, Adriene! This was a beautiful journey.
I enjoyed today’s practice so much! I actually teared up at the end of it. What a beautiful practice. I cannot wait for your next 30 day journey. I will continue to practice with your February calendar this month. Namaste
Thank you for this amazing journey! I enjoyed all 30 days; I can feel myself growing in so many ways.This has been a great way to start 2019!
Thank you, Adriene! This was an amazing month and my heart hurts that it’s over. But its blessings are far-reaching and will surely accompany us all through the long months of the new year – and then we can enjoy another phenomenal journey with you. (hurrah!!) For myself, I’ll be practicing with you daily as always and have saved a lot of practices from Dedicate as new go-to faves. Thank you again, our beautiful yoga goddess. xx
PS: Must add this last day practice was (for me) your most beautiful and emotional yet. Especially loved Benji joining you at the very end. Pure magic! Thank you again so much for all you both do. (typed through streaming tears)
Thank you for this experience Adriene; having followed along and loved practising with you (and all the other yogis on the journey!) for 30 days I feel quite emotional! You have started to help me be kinder to myself. I needed to prove to myself that I can dedicate myself to something and achieve a goal and I do feel great about ‘completing the 30 days’- but I think you’ve helped pop me on a path to help me try and be motivated and committed but without so much anxiety. I can’t see my day being yoga-less tomorrow- I’ll be exploring more of your wonderful videos! Thank you Adriene!! xxx
Wow Thank you
I almost cried at the end because I don’t want it to be over! Thank you for sharing yourself with us and making me love yoga more than ever.
I think we’re allowed to cry, lol. Ok, I did. It’s a release and a surrender, part of the journey, right? 🙂
This was the first time I did all 30 days it was so good for my mind and body. It was so good to to include this in my new year goal setting a refocusing. So many parts of my life benefit from a regular home practice.
These past 30 days have been amazing. This is the first time I followed real time and I have felt amazing. My strength has improved and my confidence as well. Your words and guidence has truly made this a womderful experience. Today i felt a little challenged without your voice guiding me and was a little nervous whem we started, but once i found my breath, I connected to me. Thank you and can’t wait to join you in February!
Thank you. I enjoyed every single yoga session with you and Benji. This has helped keep my mind calm and my body strong in the dark, cold days of January. Looking forward to more! xo
Such a wonderful culmination of everything we did the whole month! Thank you for this wonderful journey; let it not be the end of a road but the beginning of a strong and loving exploration for many more days, weeks and, if i am lucky, years to come. Much love and gratitude. Xo
See you soon… in February (Polar Vortex: away with you!)
Thanks I stuck with it everyday, really enjoyed it. I felt the magic in day 30.
Thank you so much for this journey! It’s the third one that I have done with you and I’m doing yoga (almost) every day for 2 years now. And it’s so good for my body and my soul!
I’m going to start dedicate again with day 1 today.Thank you so much!
Thank you Adriene – and the rest of the community!
I fell blessed, strengthened and humble.
Daily home practice is a beautiful thing, when guided by you, Adriene. <3<3
=) Maria.
CoSM Crew LOVED the process with you! Thank you so much for making this available to so many people and for inspiring a wonderful journey! Looking forward to continuing my practice with you!
This was surprisingly emotional! Thank you for a beautiful journey.
This is the third 30 day challenge I’ve done with you Adriene. I miss your guiding voice but I kept telling myself t knew what to do and could guide myself. It’s not easy and it opens the floodgates. I was sniffling so hard it was affecting my breath! As always I am so grateful to you. You are a wonderful person.
<3 THANK YOU.
I feel like a new person after completing the 30 days. I feel strong mentally and physically. I've learned to love and accept myself, to be softer with myself, and to be proud of what I can do today…and I could go on and on.
Love love love from Canada.

Hello, I’m really enjoying your 30 days of yoga series. I just bought the downloadable version, because I want to be able to have it with me while I travel, but it seems like a different series than the 2019 30 days of yoga series. I wanted to be able to continue that 2019 series, which I have already started. Is that available for download? Thank you.
Thank you for this amazing practise! Feels so great, calmed, focused. Thank you.
Thank you for a wonderful workout. My focus for this last day was fantastic! My balance was dead on and I never experienced such a fluent balance exchange. (usually tip over, put foot down, etc.) I am sure I will have days where balance is off, however, I know now I can do it:) The way you build on each movement was very helpful. Thanks again!
I cried during this last practice and I bookmarked it to do in the future. This was an amazing journey and I feel more in touch with my emotions than I have in a long time. thank you Adrienne for taking me on this journey.
Tears of joy for dedicating something to myself since the birth of my first child (18 months) – namaste, Adrienne; namaste all.
Such a beautiful 30 day journey. Actually 36 for me as I needed a couple of ‘migraine’ and ‘low back’ practices along the way. I’ve been enjoying your 30 day journeys for awhile now and they become such an important part of the day. Looking forward to February calendar. Thank you for the time, care and love you put into sharing your yoga practice. Namaste from a snowy Ottawa morning.
Adriene – thanks so much for Dedicate – I’ve been following you for two years now and as always very engaging and enjoyable.
I remembered today though as I heard the introduction to Day 30 that I had disagreed with the silence last year in True and have to be honest I still feel the same way. It is such a radical change from how the sessions have worked up to now that’s it’s like I’ve walked into the wrong room – unlike every other day I come on your website, today I feel disconnected and not part of the community.
For me to follow you on screen and do it myself at the same time is not practical without audio ☹ so I gave up after 10 minutes and just sat and watched the rest.
Nothing wrong with silence – I absolutely love your sessions that are as much meditation as yoga, but something half way would be great – verbal cues perhaps rather than a running commentary.
This was like a performance I was watching, not involved in – a beautiful performance – you are a beautiful dancer to watch. I guess I’m in the minority with this view, so next year I’ll just remember to finish on Day 29. Namaste
Well, you got me all teary eyed with that last one. Thanks and Namaste!
Finished up today!
Thank you so much Adriene. I love your thoughtful approach.
Just signed up for a year subscription!
Oh Adriene ❤️ I’m doing this last dedicate day about ten days after my other days as due to massive life changes I’ve moved country, so a lot of emotions and stress already. I promised I would only do this when I felt I could totally dedicate myself to this last of the 30 and boy was it worth it. I smiled, cried a little and just felt the flow and the strength and the silent communication from you. Strangely almost as if you were in the room with me. Thank you from my heart to yours for this gift that you keep on giving. For helping me build strength inside out. I wouldn’t have coped as well these last couple of month if it weren’t for you. And I know going forward that strength is there and I can’t wait to keep going on my forever yoga journey. Namaste
Thank you Adriene for all that you do. I really enjoyed the first 29 days of Dedicate. I have to say, though, I personally cannot follow along without the verbal cues. I found it too painful in my neck to keep bringing it out of alignment to see what was happening. If there was any way to have 2 options, a silent option and then a voice over option for those that need the cues, that would be great. Namaste.
Hey, I finally got there and so glad to join all you finishers at last, and so sad (that this 30 days is over). Oh well, will just have to start over!
I can’t tell you how much my confidence in my body has improved and how much I have dropped all the ‘striving’ that I usually bring to the mat. I have loved this, thank you so much!
I have loved the 29 days up until now. It is probably just me, but I have a hard time doing this without the voice instructions. I can’t practice and look a the screen too. Thanks so much for doing these videos.
Thank you for this 30 day journey! I loved it !
Bravo for staying focussed even with Benji on the mat!
Thank you for this journey, Adriene. I’ve never done one of your journeys before and haven’t every been much of a yogi at all. I find your practices inspiring, encouraging, and uplifting. I finished this journey on 2/10/19. I didn’t give up, even through illness and work stress. My husband has noticed such a positive difference in me over the last 6 weeks of this journey. I’m a dedicated follower now. Namaste.
Finally finished! What a great way to finish this journey. I loved to just go with the flow of the music and do my own thing with the new tools included you thought me. Thank you! Namaste.
Thankyou (: I have learned so much on this journey physically and mentally. It has effected my day to day in such a positive way. I did not expect to feel so emotional by the end of this 30days venture, but I am touched and my soul smiles for myself, for you, and for everyone who has embarked on this peaceful and strengthening journey. Truly grateful.
Namaste
Thank you.
I just want to say how thankful I am that I came across your 30 day Liberate Yoga videos on Youtube. I am a mom to a three year old, beautiful girl and I had a very hard pregnancy with her. I had not exercised in over two years, and I had been struggling with low self-esteem, because I became so overweight and did not know how to exercise. I simply did not know how to get my body to do the things I would see people doing on T.V., but you told me to take my time and to listen to my body. I completed the 30 day (Liberate) yoga challenge last week and I have to say I had never moved and felt my body as I’m beginning to do now. I hope I can continue with yoga as a way to help me feel good within myself, as well as with my physical body. It has also been helping me to cope with anxiety and stress. I almost quit the first week, because I felt awkward and I did not think yoga was for me, but I’ve realized that yoga is for everyone. I appreciate what you do!!!
Thank you!
Dankeschön!
I still have days 27, 28 and 29 to do, but I wanted to do Day 30 today (Sunday) to have a little extra time to let it set in. What a beautiful journey. Thank you so very much to you, Benji, the host of people who work to share this practice with us, and the community who make it part of something much bigger than any one of us. So grateful.
Just finished my 30th day of dedicate. I did not want to finish. Brought tears to me. Thank you for your kind and loving heart. It reaches so many and spreads it around.
Dear Adriene,
It is Feb. 28th and I just completed the whole series…I’ve never done yoga, and I know now how much I LOVE it. I am so thankful for your willingness to share what you know. I have been working hard to lose 40 pounds doing cardio every day…and have lost 20 so far. I’ve found that yoga settles me, strengthens me, and gives the peace I need each day. My cat, Elsie, has become her own version of Benji! Thank you thank you!
Michele
Thank you for a beautiful journey helping me finding my way back to my yoga practice again. You really are a ball of sunshine. The love just radiates of you!
Also what is this music? where can i find it? I came in to the most amazing flow today. Perfect ending of these 30 days!
Yeah! I finished. It took 2.5 months, but I was dedicated. And still am. Although I don’t get here everyday, I will keep getting here. Adrienne, you move my body, and my soul. Unlimited gratitude.
Dear Adriene,
Thank you for this powerful yoga days and the love you share with us.
With lots of love! Namaste!
Anandita
Dear Adriene,
I discovered you 2,5 years ago on a sleepless night when I was wondering how will I ever get out of the sadness that was filling me then. You brought light to my life and you helped me be brave.
I met my flame a few months after I met you. Now he is my husband and we have a wonderful 4 month old daughter.
Pregnancy was not all easy – I had to stop climbing mountains at one point, I switched from YWA to prenatal yoga with another teacher, I gained a lot of weight and lost my sense of self.
After birth I struggled for a while – I didn’t recognise myself, not just physically, but also mentally. I waited 6 weeks for the doctor’s ok, I started practicing some postnatal yoga, slowly rebuilding my strenght.
As the spring came close, I was ready – ready to find the way back to my inner self, ready to accept my wonderful body as it is now, ready to practice “normal” yoga like a “normal” person (did I tell you I felt so lost that I felt broken?). Dedicate was my journey back. And today, at the end of the wonderful practice, I cried out all the “No’s” in my mind and I made room for love – love for myself, love for life, love for love. I cried and now I am relieved.
You are magic. And I am forever thankful for your support, acceptance, love.
Lots of love!
Have just completed the 30 day dedicate programme and am loving it, found the last session slightly challenging as think for where I am at now I need more guidance to support my practice. It’s been perfect to fit in around a busy lifestyle and carve out some me time. It’s been a perfect start to my yoga journey – my only question is what next. Would highly recommend to everyone.
Thank you so much Adriene!
You are always my ‘go to’ for yoga practices.
Every day you are an inspiration!
Thank you,
Marla
Thank you Adriene
This has been the most amazing journey over the 30 days, I listened to my body and when I needed to I took a rest day so it’s taken me about 6 weeks to complete but my body feels so very different. Stronger, more energy and so much more in control. Looking forward to daily morning sessions with you.
Thank you again so much
Fran
Thank you so much Adriene, I have come to the party late, following cancer treatment. Your 30 day journey has restored confidence in my body and your positive, cheerful spirit has been a tonic to my soul every morning. Carried on doing what your doing! The world needs positive life giving energy like yours. I’m off to book in at a regular yoga class, and I’m telling you that, as it will help me follow through.
Namaste
Julia from London
Well, I prefer to go slowly when I learn something new, and I did, practicing each day’s lesson twice before advancing to the next (what’s the rush, right?). Anyway, this was a game changer for me, and I’m hooked on the feelings Yoga gives me. Thank you so much Adriene for what you’ve taught me…I almost feel as though I know you.
Good luck and
Namaste
Paul
What a great idea to practice each day twice before advancing to the next day, Paul! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Dedicate journey. Keep going. You’re doing great!
Thank you Adrienne for your heartfelt practices. I really enjoyed them and they were greatly appreciated, bringing a sparkle to my day.
I had a little giggle when I saw Benji today. Day 30 feeling the love 🙂 That’s what I loved about your classes they always brought a smile to my face and encouraged me to get on the mat with joy, curiosity and love.
Cheers
I wish you well dear yogini.
Namaste
Debbie
From up on my little mountain in rural Northern California, I send thanks to you Adrienne. I completed this 30 day yoga series in a pattern of run, yoga, run, yoga, as my 5 year old daughter suggested…and it has helped me immensely through the process of doing my best to support my 42 year old baby brother in his fight for his life against alcoholism. We all have our own struggles and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your love, wisdom, humor and fur baby with a world that needs love more than anything!
With eternal love and gratitude,
~ jules ~
I just finished this. I am a homeschooling mom of 5 in Maryland and I am so proud of myself for completing this journey. It took me about 45 days, but that’s 30 more times of doing yoga than I would have done. I’ve never done this much yoga so close together and the emotional benefits have become so clear to me.
You’ve taught me so much!
I always get super emotional on the last day. For all reasons. Thank you for this practice, Adriene!
Is there any way we can access the music used in this session?
Hi Kandace, Adriene shared a Dedicate inspired playlist on Spotify. Congratulations on completing Dedicate! 🙂
Thank you Adriene,
This very compassionate and healing 30-days have pulled me through some rough times as my husband almost died from an accident a few days into the practice. I will never forget how strong and empowered I felt along the way, to trust the process and let go of control when things weren’t in my hands. It has been a miraculous journey and tears started rolling down my face during this last session. I cannot thank you enough for what you have gifted me and therefor my family. It was transformational. I will keep going with you along my side thanks to your next videos, as I cannot bear the thought of not hearing your lovely soothing voice in the weeks to come. Thank you – Namaste.
I have loved this series so much! Thank you for making it available for free for the community. It’s been a true gift!
Sending huge gratitude to you for this amazing gift. Your smile through this last practice was so full of warmth and love that it made it extra special. Benji sensed the end of this era too, sitting on top of you at one point! It’s been an amazing journey – thank you. I only found it a month ago so have just finished now and will be looking for another of your series to start tomorrow because this is now part of my and my dog Kenya’s day.
I loved my intro to you last year by taking the True Yoga Journey with Adriene. Thank you for sharing the 30 Day Dedicate Journey with me for the second time this year, once before shoulder surgery (while trying therapy to mitigate the surgery option), and now again, after successful rotator/bicep/labrum surgery. So nurturing for body and soul and just what I needed. And to dedicate the practices to someone special was a bonus focus and gift!
Looking forward to my next 30 day journey and beyond!
Thank you for helping teach me how to listen to my body. And how to slow down. And breathe. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression and who’s been without a job for a couple months, I just wanted to say thank you, Adriene (and Benji)! 😉
I’m am late to the whole yoga thing but so glad i found you on line. I’ve only been practicing for about 6 months but love that I’m able to practice at home.
Love Love Love Yoga With Adriene
Thank you Adriene, as I am sure you have heard many times your generosity has been such any tremendous gift. My life has been faced with many serious challenges lately, I am a young 59 year old whose work that he loves has taken him around the world, but whose creative soul has taken a back seat to. This time I have spent learning yoga has had a lasting impact and I thank you for being you, and for the way you have helped me. Xo
Hi Adrienne!
Thank you so much for all your videos they are great. I have been doing your videos for some years now and love them all, especially the asides! And Benji of course! Now that my husband has retired we have been doing them together – two old crocks feeling stiff and sore but after your sessions – brand new people. One thing though (yes there is always a BUT) we would really appreciate it if you would consider on your 30th day sessions to just give gentle instruction – down dog, 3 breath cycles, cobra 3 breaths, forward fold, halfway up etc we find it difficult to watch you and do the moves, gives us a crick in the neck.
Keep up the great work and see you on our iPad!
Di & Peter
Adriene
My second 30 day challenge with you! I LOVE them, you are great! My kids call you my BFF 🙂
Renee
Merci ! Can’t wait for Home now ! 🙂
Thank you so much Adriene. For this 30 day journey, for bringing yoga into my life again, but most of all for helping me find and recognize myself. I believe you are a wonderful woman. I am grateful.
That was awesome. Thank you so much. For a 50 year old guy who use to run 3 miles a day and now it hurts getting out of bed……this was the perfect remedy! Again, thank you! This was great!!!
Thank you again — it’s my 2nd 30-day journey in a row and it’s helped so much — I feel stronger in more than just one way. I especially loved day 29, the playfulness, the running, the laughing along with you. I figure, why stop? See you again! x x from France
A perfect end to a great 30 day journey. I haven’t dedicated myself to exercise for nearly five years so this is a great re-boot for me. And never have I done yoga. I was intimidated to consider 30 minutes of music only but I found the rhythm, the breathing and the music made the 30 minutes seem like 3.
This is all new and all a stretch for me and I am grateful for your guidance and care. Now to continue the journey. I need to find something that keeps me moving forward. Until next time, namaste.
What an amazing journey! It is just the beginning …. I loved it all and the last practice was really liberating. I felt free and fulfilled… more confident in my performance, most importantly grateful for you being my guide. Looking forward to continue practicing with you Adriene. xxxx Magical and effortless flow… that’s how it is and it was.
