Hi Adriene !
I love your videos and here's a little suggestion : I'm really trying to get my boyfriend to practice with me, and he's willing to learn about yoga and everything but always feels like doing it with me / our regular videos is a little "too girly" for him. I'm sure a lot of boys feel this way , how about a little Yoga For Dudes video ? Love and thousands of thanks.

Wow, it's really surprising to see how different my muscles are! On the left arm I can easily hold the poses, on the right it's very challenging. I love how these exercises make me get to know my body better. And they are so well explained; I love every minute of them! ♥
I love learning the foundations series and am really interested in learning this side plank, however I have slight balance problems sometimes and whenever I try to practice this I find it very difficult to get on (and stay on) one side without collapsing in a heap! I'm finding it a little too challenging is there an easier way to break it down so I can pick it up? Thank you.

Adrienne,
Wow, finally ... a Yoga instructor with a sense of humor ! Your 'Halloween 2014' video was my very first. It was both practical instruction on breathing AND fun to see you struggle to keep a straight face ! As an older student, 59 years and *reversing ;>), I discovered Yoga 2 years ago. I love it and I am grateful to see that there really is room for a bit of fun in the practice as we go about the business of restoring our health.
I have an Ex-sister-in-law in Austin, TX. Tell her I said hello, that I've lost weight, regained the strength of my youth and am more fit now than in many years, but other than that, Yoga hasn't changed me a lick !

My girlfriend and I do these videos all the time. Maybe you should get a new boyfriend....heh.
No but really...just tell him to get over himself. There's nothing masculine or feminine about yoga.
