hello and welcome to yoga with Adriene

I'm Adriene and this is our first video

ever I am a yoga teacher living working

breathing in Austin Texas I'm also an

actor and a dog owner the word yoga has

several different definitions but the

one that I really love is Union I

started my teacher training exactly 10

years ago and I've been teaching for

five years

I teach weekly yoga classes and I'm

constantly promoting them trying to get

people to come to class because I want

them to feel good one of the reasons I

love yoga practice is or the rely kit or

not every time I step on the mat I am

reminded that ultimately we are

responsible for our own happiness which

means when we can't do something we

don't go into toxic thought world or get

upset we just be in the moment we take

care of ourselves kind of an ongoing

theme for me as a teacher something that

I like to offer my students is this

invitation to find what feels good if

you came for cooling practice stay cool

cool so West Side Story reference for

all your musical theatre fans at the

same time if people come for more fiery

practice I'm all for your doing an extra

vinyasa an extra minute in this

balancing pose and I feel like sometimes

we go into the studio and we don't

really feel welcome to even be ourselves

on the mat so as a teacher I like to

create a space where everyone can really

find their own happiness find what feels

good I feel like if we keep working in a

way where we're empowering each other to

feel good in our bodies and we'd all be

a lot happier and healthier

off the mat so whether you want to lose

weight or build strength increase your

flexibility or tone the body or if you

have a current practice and you just

want to deepen your practice yoga with
