Up Your Connect

Up Your Connect is a 20 min yoga practice focused on connection.

It is for everyone around the world, across the sea. It is for all.

The practice is an invitation to leave behind what does not serve and UP YOUR CONNECT! This free practice celebrates the connection within and the ties that bind us all.

THE HARDEST PART is taking time for yourself. But it is not selfish - it's vital. The world needs you at your best. Take 20 minutes today to connect to what matters most.

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

  1. Happy, happy Birthday !

    London: Welcome ... although I’m out of town for Autumn walk as September and Summer ends.

    Hope you have time to take a boat trip (one of the older ones where you can be outside ) From Tate Modern to Greenwich and back on the glittering Thames.

    Or head for the flower market, crazy busy by now but you can wander about London Fields or thereabouts. I’m sure you’ll have some local guides to ensure your day is bright, you deserve the best sort of birthday for all your work that helps so very many.

    1. A happy belated birthday, Adrienne! I'm so grateful for the difference you have made in my life. Wishing you a year of discovery and continued strength and purpose to do what you do with this gift you give us all.

      With sincere gratitude,

      Mary

    2. Hi Adrienne! Happy belated birthday! I wanted to let you know that I just returned from an amazing vacation in London and I'm SO sorry I missed you there! I actually DID take a boat from the London Eye to enchanting Greenwich and just loved everything about it. I absolutely fell in love with London. I have to admit, I did take a yoga hiatus, but our miles and miles of walking all over hopefully made up for that. I am about to get back into my Adrienne routine right now and I cannot wait! Have a wonderful week! ~Kim

  16. Happy birthday, Adriene!

    I cannot thank you enough for the gift you've given me of a daily at home practice. For over twenty years I tried to practise daily and it is only this year, because of your monthly calendars that I have actually - finally - succeeded.

    Now my daily yoga is my happy place. I look forward to it and always feel better after.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I hope the universe returns to you tenfold all of the good energy that you put into it.

  17. Happy birthday, my dear friend. Though we have yet to meet, you are such an important person in my life. You inspire me to keep striving- to be a better teacher and person. Through your videos and emails, you've brought me to a home I didn't even know I had. Sending you lots of love and gratitude on your special day, the same birthday as my beloved eldest child. We are connected and I love that!

  21. Happy birthday, Adriene, the true Love Spreader and Inspiration for the crowds...
    Thanks to you and your beautiful personality, thanks to your generosity, charisma...I am who I am now and I am where I am. You helped me to find and be the most beautiful version of myself. You inspired me to go to India and become Yoga Teacher myself. And under the magical sky of the country where yoga was born I have fallen in Love with another Yogi... And we have been sharing our Journey since then...
    And everything started with 30 days yoga challenge...
    Thank you so much, Adriene. Please, keep inspiring, you are Life Changer <3

  22. Happy Birthday Adrienne, thank you for this practice as well as all of your others. You have truly given me a Love for yoga and taught me to connect with my true self through your videos. You are an amazing inspiration, and through you I have regained my confidence, strength, and balance. My Birthday was 9/29 and I enjoyed day 29 of your true series it was a gift to myself. THANK YOU! - Namaste

  24. Happy Birthday Adriene !! so how does it feel to turn 18 years old ? :)) You are Amazing Thank You for everything. Namaste !!

  25. Happy Birthday sweet Adriene. I can’t begin to express the gratitude I have that you exist. You are one of my closest friends because we meet on the mat daily. I’ve been following your channel for 7 years(time flies). I adore your 30 day routines, Revolution being my all time favorite, I am certain I did it for at least 5 months straight because it was so yummy.

    I find comfort in the emails you send out to this yoga family that you’ve fostered. I must thank you for leaning into your gift of teaching and for nurturing it. You’re tone, attitude and patience in each video is consistent yet fresh and rich every practice. You are a role model in how you carry yourself and love others. Maybe it isn’t a priority to you but I notice your modesty as well, in dressing in a way that keeps the focus on the yoga, and it makes your message shine. I’ve brought you along with me on family vacations to practice alone in the hotel room while everyone is out for a night swim, you’ve inspired mantras within me that aid me in maintaining confidence and composure in stressful busy season at work, you get me to smile when the day feels heavy and immaluable and you remind me not to be so hard on myself(something I struggle with often). I’ll restate this for emphasis, you are one of my dearest friends and one of the three most influential people in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,thank you, thank you, thank you for being you.

    I pray for blessings in your life for the way that you offer healing through your offering to the world of mindfulness and yoga. Maybe one day I will meet you and finally be able to look upon the face that has been a light in my life for all these years.

    So much love and gratitude,
    Happy Birthday to you
    -Katherine

  26. Happy Birthday, Adriene. I started with you on January 1, 2017 with Revolution. Since then I have worked my way through 30-Days of Yoga, 30 Days of Yoga Camp, and True, along with the Revolution sequence, in rotation, and kept to a daily yoga practice. It's hard to measure the benefits in so many areas except to say it was a giant blessing to have found your videos when I did. Thank you! May you celebrate many happy birthdays to come! <3

  27. Sending my Birthday greetings from the Philippines:)

  30. Wishing you a very happy birthday, birthday-week, and year!!
    I have known of you only for a few weeks now, but I am so impressed by your yoga sessions. As I am a yoga teacher myself, I am amazed how much my style jives with yours and have recommended you to friends and clients. I am a bit older than you, but I so applaud you for offering the truer aspects of yoga (not just yoga as exercise!!), and I much admire the wisdom you have and insert into your sessions! I will continue watching you!
    Sending love your way - Gabriele
