00:00:00,234 --> 00:00:01,101
Hey, everyone.

2
00:00:01,101 --> 00:00:03,033
Welcome to the 
Yoga With Adriene blog.

3
00:00:03,033 --> 00:00:05,291
I mean, vlog.

4
00:00:06,384 --> 00:00:08,742
(sighs) I'm Adriene.

5
00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:11,245
I wanted to take a 
second to reach out to you

6
00:00:11,245 --> 00:00:12,212
and connect to you 'cause I know

7
00:00:12,212 --> 00:00:15,515
I haven't been 
posting any videos.

8
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:17,651
We have taken a 
little bit of a break,

9
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:21,788
not because we want to, 
but only because we had to.

10
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:24,424
The universe said so,
as you can tell,

11
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:27,494
maybe you can hear, 
I have lost my voice.

12
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:30,631
And so we took a little break so

13
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:33,233
that I could kind of 
connect to the healing process.

14
00:00:33,233 --> 00:00:36,637
And in that, I have 
made a ton of discoveries.

15
00:00:36,637 --> 00:00:39,606
A lot of which I plan 
and want to share with you.

16
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:43,277
And some in which are private.

17
00:00:43,277 --> 00:00:47,147
No, some in which that are
just gonna take some patience.

18
00:00:47,147 --> 00:00:51,385
So we have decided 
to get a little creative

19
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:53,520
because that's what we do.

20
00:00:54,521 --> 00:00:58,992
And so we'll be doing 
some videos with no talking.

21
00:01:00,294 --> 00:01:04,096
Now both Chris and I 
are silent movie fans.

22
00:01:04,096 --> 00:01:07,568
We're gonna do a little 
silent movie yoga (chuckles).

23
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:09,636
I don't know when 
it's gonna be yet.

24
00:01:09,636 --> 00:01:12,105
So you'll have to come back
to the channel and find out.

25
00:01:12,105 --> 00:01:13,874
I'm also gonna be writing about

26
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:16,276
what I'm experiencing 
in particular.

27
00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:19,613
In case there's anyone out
there on the world wide web

28
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:21,581
who is experiencing 
this as well.

29
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:24,685
You know, we all have 
our trials and tribulations.

30
00:01:24,685 --> 00:01:27,988
And our yoga practice 
can be an awesome tool

31
00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:30,824
for how we meet all 
sorts of challenges.

32
00:01:30,824 --> 00:01:35,462
Health-wise, physically,
emotionally, mentally.

33
00:01:35,462 --> 00:01:37,564
We decided 
rather than me hole up

34
00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:40,534
and becoming a little 
sad depressed yogi (laughs),

35
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:42,636
or travel off and 
spend all my money

36
00:01:42,636 --> 00:01:44,905
to go meditate 
naked in the hills,

37
00:01:44,905 --> 00:01:49,109
we decided to just embrace it.

38
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,711
So we're gonna have 
a new series coming up

39
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:52,446
called the Embrace It series.

40
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:54,815
And hopefully it'll grow past

41
00:01:54,815 --> 00:01:59,086
this experience with 
my voice and with GERD.

42
00:01:59,086 --> 00:02:00,554
GERD just sounds so weird.

43
00:02:00,554 --> 00:02:02,956
It's just gross, GERD.

44
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:05,125
Acid reflux stuff, past that,
beyond that.

45
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:08,627
I hope to embrace that series

46
00:02:08,627 --> 00:02:12,132
as a way to 
provide tools for you

47
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:15,354
to navigate

48
00:02:15,354 --> 00:02:17,644
the yoga waters individually.

49
00:02:17,644 --> 00:02:20,073
That means,
if you have an ailment,

50
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:23,443
or something that you need 
to modify or make adjustments,

51
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:24,511
this series is for you.

52
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:27,848
Because we can kind 
of dig in and empower you

53
00:02:27,848 --> 00:02:32,486
to not just, you know, 
frown-y face, make do.

54
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:35,322
But to really find 
what feels good, eh?

55
00:02:35,322 --> 00:02:39,426
To really get empowered 
through the power of,

56
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:41,928
you know, adaptation.

57
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:42,996
Great movie.

58
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:44,831
Okay, so I should 
probably stop talking.

59
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:47,324
Oh, bumped my mic, faux pas.

60
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,403
I should probably stop talking.

61
00:02:49,403 --> 00:02:52,139
But I just want you to know
that I'm still here with you.

62
00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:54,151
And I so appreciate

63
00:02:54,151 --> 00:02:57,411
all of your comments
and your messages.

64
00:02:57,411 --> 00:02:59,046
And I'm getting 
some good photos.

65
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:00,847
And the community 
is really growing.

66
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:01,681
So on that note,

67
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:04,685
I'm gonna ask you join 
the newsletter if you like.

68
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:07,988
Our first 
newsletter ever is written.

69
00:03:07,988 --> 00:03:12,292
That's one thing I can do
during this period is write.

70
00:03:12,292 --> 00:03:13,794
So the newsletter is written.

71
00:03:13,794 --> 00:03:16,096
We're putting it together,
making it pretty right now.

72
00:03:16,096 --> 00:03:19,099
So make sure you sign 
up for the newsletter.

73
00:03:19,099 --> 00:03:21,401
Subscribe to the 
channel if you haven't already.

74
00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:25,705
Send me your requests, 
your comments, inspirations.

75
00:03:25,705 --> 00:03:29,276
I appreciate you and I look
forward to the future, Namaste.

76
00:03:29,276 --> 00:03:32,446
(lighthearted music)
