Hey, everyone.

Welcome to the 
Yoga With Adriene blog.

I mean, vlog.

(sighs) I'm Adriene.

I wanted to take a 
second to reach out to you

and connect to you 'cause I know

I haven't been 
posting any videos.

We have taken a 
little bit of a break,

not because we want to, 
but only because we had to.

The universe said so,
as you can tell,

maybe you can hear, 
I have lost my voice.

And so we took a little break so

that I could kind of 
connect to the healing process.

And in that, I have 
made a ton of discoveries.

A lot of which I plan 
and want to share with you.

And some in which are private.

No, some in which that are
just gonna take some patience.

So we have decided 
to get a little creative

because that's what we do.

And so we'll be doing 
some videos with no talking.

Now both Chris and I 
are silent movie fans.

We're gonna do a little 
silent movie yoga (chuckles).

I don't know when 
it's gonna be yet.

So you'll have to come back
to the channel and find out.

I'm also gonna be writing about

what I'm experiencing 
in particular.

In case there's anyone out
there on the world wide web

who is experiencing 
this as well.

You know, we all have 
our trials and tribulations.

And our yoga practice 
can be an awesome tool

for how we meet all 
sorts of challenges.

Health-wise, physically,
emotionally, mentally.

We decided 
rather than me hole up

and becoming a little 
sad depressed yogi (laughs),

or travel off and 
spend all my money

to go meditate 
naked in the hills,

we decided to just embrace it.

So we're gonna have 
a new series coming up

called the Embrace It series.

And hopefully it'll grow past

this experience with 
my voice and with GERD.

GERD just sounds so weird.

It's just gross, GERD.

Acid reflux stuff, past that,
beyond that.

I hope to embrace that series

as a way to 
provide tools for you

to navigate

the yoga waters individually.

That means,
if you have an ailment,

or something that you need 
to modify or make adjustments,

this series is for you.

Because we can kind 
of dig in and empower you

to not just, you know, 
frown-y face, make do.

But to really find 
what feels good, eh?

To really get empowered 
through the power of,

you know, adaptation.

Great movie.

Okay, so I should 
probably stop talking.

Oh, bumped my mic, faux pas.

I should probably stop talking.

But I just want you to know
that I'm still here with you.

And I so appreciate

all of your comments
and your messages.

And I'm getting 
some good photos.

And the community 
is really growing.

So on that note,

I'm gonna ask you join 
the newsletter if you like.

Our first 
newsletter ever is written.

That's one thing I can do
during this period is write.

So the newsletter is written.

We're putting it together,
making it pretty right now.

So make sure you sign 
up for the newsletter.

Subscribe to the 
channel if you haven't already.

Send me your requests, 
your comments, inspirations.

I appreciate you and I look
forward to the future, Namaste.
