hello everyone and welcome to the yoga

with Adriene vlog I'm Adriene and that's

Benji and we're here today to just say

Happy New Year oh what a wonderful year

it has been 2015 just a quick note to

say thank you for an awesome year it was

a doozy it was a wild year busy your

transformation not for me on a personal

note but also I think as a community you

know we really grew this year kicked off

2015 with 30 days of yoga free on

YouTube it kicked tons of ass excuse my

language it was just so nice like there

was a big request for me to do a 30 day

yoga challenge and Chris and I really

wanted to keep focusing on mission which

was to you know help people cultivate a

home yoga practice and to find what

feels good so I don't know the 30 day

yoga challenge thing just didn't feel

right but we started to process what we

could do in terms of actually inspiring

people to make it their own and create a

practice at home that feels good it

started to get exciting so we cooked up

our version of a 30 day yoga journey or

experience and it's it's so cool to see

how the community grew and how everyone

kind of wrote their own story if you did

the 30 days would be over this year then

you know what I'm talking about it's

it's different it inspires you to kind

of write your own story and then like by

the end of that last day if you've done

it you know what I'm talking about I

think you really feel something special

and unique to you you know on that last

day so now this so so awesome is such a

great way to kick off the year this was

a year of transformation I moved out of

the og yoga house so you know that whole

change thing is still something that I

find very fascinating you know because

we know what's good for us but it's so

hard

so we said goodbye to og yoga house that

was fun I actually moved again till I

finally settled in in this beautiful

home kristan Hilah moved to LA that was

exciting I got to visit LA several times

also got to visit the East Coast several

times so

nice and of course I got to travel with

the find what feels good road shows

amazing going to Seattle Chicago San

Francisco I went to Newport Beach I went

to all these little places in between to

connecting with different people

connecting with YouTube connecting with

kin community connecting with vhx

connecting with the Shorty Awards

connecting with new friends here in

Austin establishing a relationship with

practice yoga an amazing studio here in

Austin and my new friends over at Danes

body shop who's getting staying at

salvaged Vanguard theater here in Austin

and growing practice there creating

space and holding space for people who

are visiting to come practice it's been

an amazing year here we are at the end

of the year Wow

we just hit a million subscribers on

YouTube it's pretty cool I want to cry

almost set it's just so amazing how fast

and how beautiful things can shift and

change and grow and again it can be

really difficult but I think it's

important to stay focused on what feels

good and the self care which is a

perfect segue to yoga camp which is

coming up yoga camp is the sequel to 30

days of yoga so it's 30 days of yoga

camp this year for 2016 and if there's a

lot in your welcome email that's coming

if you've already signed up and if you

haven't signed up already get on over

there and sign up but there's a lot more

there but yoga camp essentially is is

taking it next level you know when we

sat down to talk about what we wanted to

do in January we knew that we had a

captive audience right now we knew that

the community was rich right now and

growing and that essentially we all are

on board to be the best version of

ourselves so we're starting to notice

that people do indeed want more than

just six-pack ABS our tone arms are you

know to fit into a certain size beam we

want to be happy we know that we deserve

to be happy and we want to be happy 360

wellness so yoga camp I would say

that it was a bootcamp for the mind body

and soul but it's it's not that kind of

bootcamp I think I think there's going

to be some fun little twists there's a

gentle introduction to conscious

language and thought sneaking in a

gentle intro to affirmations and the

power of the mind the power of the word

and melding out with our yoga which I

feel like is insanely awesome for your

total well-being so yes we're gonna get

fit yeah we're gonna have fun but we're

also going to start playing with an

another layer so this might be brand new

to a lot of folks and for some this will

just be a good thing to reconnect on and

practice at the beginning of the year

being conscious with your word and

consciously the thought because you can

do 300 days of yoga and have this

awesome bod but if you're still waking

up in the morning looking in the mirror

and going I don't love myself or oh my

hair that's the point so we're gonna

kind of check ourselves check our

self-talk and find what feels good in

that region - the idea being that we're

tending not just to the physical

wellness but also to the mental wellness

mental health and I think if you combine

those two I know it sounds hokey but I

think if you combine those two and you

stay conscious of those two things

working together then your spiritual

health your spiritual wealth is going to

start to feel really shiny and shimmery

and palpable and awesome and unique to

you so that's that's the whole find what

feels good thing again you know finding

what feels good for you and making that

connect so that said you better get it

on over there and signed up for yoga

camp it's free it starts on January 1st

I'm gonna go ahead and publicly announce

soul ash it was a little secret but cats

out of the bag I think this year

there's no way I'll go on January 1st

there is a video so be sure to watch it

but the yoga begins on January 2nd then

you have 30 days of yoga camp after that

ok check your email you get a daily

email once you sign up I'm about to

write about just remember the days of

camp you know getting to like go inward

and find yourself and do something fun

while also connecting to the big picture

you'll see images of nature all

throughout you know the little promos of

yoga camp and I just

love this idea of going inward but also

connecting to something big

speaking of the group energy if you want

to start at the beginning of the year

you can start you looking up anytime

throughout the year but if you want to

start with us I encourage you to because

the group energy is awesome people from

all over the world connecting doing yoga

camp together I think it's going to be

really awesome anyway that's all I'll

say about it for now get on over and get

signed up I want to thank you from the

bottom of my heart thank you from my

heart to yours what an awesome year what

a tough year too but what an amazing

year thank you to everyone who has ever
