REVOLUTION: Day 22

01/21 By Yoga With Adriene 78 Comments

Your Day 22 practice is a rest day for the body! It’s supportive, low to the ground and hands free, providing relief for arms and wrists. Tap into the breath and practice moving in a way that feels kind and gentle. If you want to be healthy it starts with identifying ways in which you can be kind and gentle with yourself, first. Commit to this so that you can be kind and gentle with others. Watch it ripple.

Find What Feels Good.

Namaste.

    After cramming in days 19-21 yesterday, today was the perfect practice to let my body breathe and rest and massage my poor achey bum!!
    Happy Sunday to all 🙂

    Slightly out of sync I did day 22 and then day 20 this morning so I am feeling soooooooo chilled. Though Adriene, trying to stay focussed on the breath , I started to laugh when trying to rock my ‘leg baby’ And then thought how many people round the world have rocked their leg babies this weekend? Hard to comprehend, but amazing to be part of this amazing family all around the globe. Namaste to all my virtual yogi friends. Peace ✌️

    How does it feel to be kind and gentle to yourself?
    Well I cried a little bit. My pattern was to push and force myself and my body and soul 😉 around.
    So I also liked the poem very much in which was said to the body: I want to be your friend..That was day 2 or something like that and it stays with me. Every day I look forward to the YogaRevolution lesson.

    Thank you Adriene and community and Earth xx

    I find it hard to be gentle sometimes in practices. So much concentration and therefore tension sometimes ^^’ But on the other hand I also always yawn during yoga practice :’D So somehow it is relaxing that much at times a least x)

    Oh and really cute outfit today Adriene! I love it! 😀

    See you all in tomorrow’s practice! 🙂

    Wonderful way to love the body and show and teach us all we can do while being gentle to ourselves.

    Each of these teachings are having a lasting impression on me. Yesterday I as becoming frustrated following a car going really slow on my way to pick up my daughter. I paused my mind an spoke out loud “Everything is as it should be.” And let it go and just enjoyed the drive. I wasn’t going to be late and even if I was I couldn’t change it at this point. Maybe I needed to go slow to make me think and reflect or to prevent getting into an accident. Who knows. But I do know I exhaled and my stress was gone.

    Thank you for today and every day, Adriene.

    I loved this. There was irony in it though because I find that sometimes in order to be ‘gentle’ and kind to myself I need to wipe everyone out of my path. With the women’s march yesterday in my mind (I could not attend due to my familial servitude) I woke up to the same old pattern of everyone taking without looking back. Knowing that my husband was going to have the entire day to himself while I took the 4 kids to a birthday party, knowing that when we came home from that party he would be engaging in the Green Bay Packers playoff game I felt it my right to push them all out of the way for yoga. Seriously, I felt bad about the way it went down but then I realized that if I’m not going to clear this path nobody is going to turn around and notice… so while my longterm goal will be to take the gentle for myself and then share with others, today was eyeopening. Sometimes to be good to yourself you simply can’t wait around for others to look up. I’m sure I’ll figure out a better way, but thank you for jumpstarting the thought process here.

      I understand this Cara (although I’m not in the same situation as you), and maybe by making an initial stand, your loved ones will start to notice and give you the space too. It happened with my daughter (although there is only one) and even the dog and the cat. They all stay off the mat and out of my way, now. Good luck with it. 🙂

        I think this is something we all struggle with, a little bit. Something I am always practicing-with my children, my husband, my friends, and my co-workers- is that no one can know what it is we want, or what is in our hearts, unless we share it with them. But when we keep practicing, we will get there!!!

    Just what I needed, soft and gentle. This my third YWA journey and I love it! Started i February 2015 with ’30 days of yoga’ and never missed a day since. Must admit though that it’s not always easy to get to the mat but once I’m there I feel so much better. Thank you Adriene for sharing your practice, knowledge and love with us. Namasté!

    Its like there is hope every day. Something your body and mind are waiting for to be done. Sometimes I do not remember what it is. Its like a warm joyful event in the nearby future without any clear pictures of what is going to happen. Then I remember it’s this daily half hour moment on the mat that make me feel this way.

    Anyone else feeling exited every day without remembering why? 🙂

    Had to stop after day eight due to a broken wrist. But I still read the daily emails which usually cause me to wallow in self-pity. Today I read : no downward facing dog or plank, and thought “that’s for me” . It felt good to get back to the mat after two weeks of relative inactivity. I know I’ll have to adapt my practice for a long time to come while I get my wrist back in shape, but it’s good to know I can do something even with a cast on.

    So at the end of the video, all the little videos we’ve done pop up, almost like a reminder of where we’ve been so far. So I’m noticing whatever day that was Adriene suggested the shoulder stand, you know, where your feet are over your head and toes are touching the floor. It always looks so beautiful and, for me, impossible. I finished today’s practice, saw the thumbnail of the shoulder stand and promptly rolled up and threw my feet over my head!! Holy smokes!! Can’t believe I got my tush over my head!!

    Thank you Adriene for making me feel so wonderful. I have had a mind, body, and soul crushing past few months and when I saw your Revolution come up I knew I had to join. Today I felt so stretched and loose, it was just so wonderful to feel that way again. I feel like a have been a wrapped up ball of yarn and everyday it loosens. Because of you and what you have put into your practice for us to follow. Your guidance, your gentle and funny ways, make such an impact. Every part of yoga is essential, thank you for always reaffirming the practice.

    You did it again and weirdly anticipated my needs today! 😉

    There was me wondering whether to blast another run somehow, or cram in a longer yoga session later, when I’m probably still a bit tired from yesterday.

    Well, here was my answer! LOL!

    I also want to mention that I went shopping yesterday and treated myself, for the first time in a life of over half a century, to some rather expensive skin products. I have awful dry skin but have always tended to go for the cheapskate options, and then only when they’re on offer! I got such a thrill out of this unexpected “because I’m worth it” attitude, and am tossing my hair around in delight. Using the new potions and lotions when I got home was a very happy ritual and I am sure that I will appreciate every last molecule.

    I’m sure I have you to thank for this, as part of the Revolution transformation!

    This is my 2nd round doing Revolution since last March & I it! It’s helped me better recover and manage pain & injuries yet stay open, focused and present on my journey back to performing after 18yrs. As the modified song goes, “I’m just a Broadway Baby. Gettin back on my feet, to be in a show…lal la la, la la la and stay in a showww!” Button!
