hello everyone welcome to the yoga with

Adriene vlog I'm Adriene and I'm here

today to wish you a very happy holiday

whether you're celebrating Christmas or

Hanukkah or the winter solstice or if

you're on a beach somewhere just wishing

you a very happy holiday I wanted to say

thank you again because you can never

say thank you too much thank you so much

for a wonderful year for sharing all of

your stories and just being so warm it's

particularly on the youtube channel I

really am proud and mic-check sorry

proud and honored and just thrilled that

the community there is so warm and

honest and it's really Pleasant and I

think that's worth you know toasting to

I look forward to more of that in the

new year I also wanted to say thank you

to a couple of friends who so kindly

sent me a couple gifts I just want to

show them to you because they're just so

sweet and I just wanted to give them a

little hello and a shout out I got this

cool namaste hanging from Melissa and

Charles and so I want it I actually

should have ended with this right now I

must say or we can greet each other with

this so namaste from my heart to yours

namaste means I'm awesome you're awesome

we're awesome

the best in me boughs to the best in you

the divine in me honors the divine in

you you know it's it's a perfect thing

to kind of meditate on at the end of the

year as we begin to kind of dream up

what the next cycle is going to be and

in fact as I record this now the solar

moon is already already into the new

solar year so the new moon was just a

couple days ago and so you can already

start beginning start beginning you can

already begin to think start thinking of

the things that you want to do in the

new year and and cultivate whatever you

need to cultivate to make that dream a

reality right conscious languaging

conscious thought whether you write it

down or or think about it in the shower

or on the mat or before a meal or in the

car you know just be aware of how

powerful your words your thoughts are as

we begin to dream up 2015

another thing I have here is from my

dear friend Kelly of Sandra's I met

Kelly actually in yoga studio at the gym

many moons ago and she's like a sister

to me and her mom actually made this and

she smells like Kelly too so good she

said that this reminded her because the

colors and it looks like an old lady

from the 20s war and I was like thank

you I was actually flattered thank you

so much Kelly Thank You Melissa and

Charles very sweet and then last well

first I would also want to mention 30

days of yoga I'm sure you've heard about

it but just another reminder that it's

coming up it's free it's gonna be

awesome

you kick start the year and it'll be

available on throughout so if you're

traveling or you're like I'm just not
