How do you react to change and drain? How do you react to challenges or things that you may not want to do? Yoga reminds us to act consciously rather than just react instinctively.
Cultivate the tools to accept change gracefully with Yoga For Change And Drain. This practice utilizes heart openers, hip openers, and lymphatic movement to help us synch up with the breath, focus on sensations, and connect to the body.
Rock ’n roll with the waves of change and find the energy to bring about positive changes in your life!
Breathe lots of love in, and lots of love out.
I hope you enjoy this practice. Let me know how it goes down in the comment section below!

Adriene, you are a wonderful teacher and person, and you help me so much every day ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely balanced session, with some nice surprises; thank you Adrienne.
OMG! That's great news, I wish you all the best with your project. Greetings from Mexico ♥️
I started a new job last month and I also broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years last Sunday. It was like this practice was made for me. I loved the shoulder stretch! THANK YOU ADRIENE! Thank you! I’m so so thankful that my sister showed me your channel a few years back and I’m so grateful for yoga.
Love from Fort Worth! ❤️

Morning nice to see the photo of you
You look great in. Red
And this is my fav time Sunday
I. Have learnt so much since you first came
On your tube
Sunny in UK today.
Love xxxx
Love this video, made my morning happy. Ecxellent tips to love yourself, your dog makes this video even more
Just so perfect for my Sunday start up Adriene. THANK YOU I' have done my practice with my lovely dog Ragnar sleeping behind me too, until the feet started tapping. i enjoyed the perfectly choreographed downward dog at the end from your Bengy. Have a great day. Mash in Bath, Somerset UK x
Adriene..I just want to thank you. Today I was searching for a yoga class (with you as always) and found this email. And your class was a message to me. I don't react to change in a good way...I don't like to be asked to do things I don't like...Your message in the video was a wake up call to me...
Namaste

Nice gentle wake up, my dog watched it too thank you. Mae UK
Perfect start to my Sunday. Loved the footwork at the end 🙂
xx
i woke up full of paranoia, regret, self dislike and felt alone and then remembered, yay it’s sunday, there will be an email from Adriene. Lovely practice thank you
Somehow you always know what I need. I came to the mat feeling very sore after a fall climbing yesterday, not sure how I would do. But the moves, and the pace today was exactly what I needed. Some very sore tight muscles feel much looser now. Thanks so much. P.s Benji was so cute today
Great ! Just what I needed thank you
Benji you are perfect! That downward dog was simply inspiration, I am light! ☺️
It couldn’t come at a better time, thank so much for this video!!
Lovely session this morning it is grey and rainy here in the wet North of England but i fell sunny inside now and ready to dress up in my waterproofs to walk Flo my dog.
Namaste from Nairobi! Yoga for Change- perfect after new move.
That was amazing - huge thank you ! I am going through so many challenges at the moment and hadn’t joined any of your online classes for a month - had a mini overwhelm moment the other day and found myself again yesterday - so this was absolutely perfect ! X
Wonderful session
Perfect practice for me this morning, thank you with all my heart. Your understanding of change is awesome.
How did you know? I have been low with a horrid flu like virus and really didn't want to do yoga this morning! So glad I did! This was perfect. Thank you xx
Feel so much less scattered than when I started thank you!
Love that foot slapping got to make that a regular thing.
Happy Day light savings time from Maine,Blessings for hope and change!..Thank you Adrienne,NAMASTE.
Great fun, particularly Benji's closing move.
- Namaste
Wow! You've had a pretty busy time lately. Busy and creative. Life should be a never ending learning process and I try my best to put it into practice.
"IF YOU ARE A TEACHER, NEVER GIVE UP LEARNING".
Thanks, Adriane, from my heart to yours!
Really good strong and stretchy one today"
Unbelievably excited to see that photo of YOU AND PFT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you for a gorgeous practice, that little stomping exercise was exactly what I needed!
Now that was lovely after shoveling four hours yesterday i needed this and change is GOOD, i'm much more in balance when we spring forward not in the fall when we step back a hour is that just me or is that a little weird, Thanks for todays session and yes the pitter patter of the feet at the end did wake the house up a little. Namaste and give Benji a big hug.
Loved the foot taps and that sneaky how do you react to challenges pose Also, Benji steals the show once again with a perfectly on cue downward dog at Namaste
Thank you Adriene for all of your awesome practices. The universe knows exactly what you need when need it. I was able to show up on the mat fully after a scary incident that happened with my son, a visit to the emergency room as well as a losing an hour to daylight savings time. I love to see your happy face and my cat loves Benji. When I say " Time for Benji" my cat knows that it is time for yoga. This entire experience since starting yoga with you in January has been life changing for me. I joined the FWFG community and love everything about it. Thank you...
awesome. Thank you. My sunday started perfect!
Thank you from sunny Jicaro Lodge in Nicaragua
After a walk in the, very cold, woods this was just what I needed. Feeling cosy and relaxed and peaceful. Benji says it all!!! And yes, Adriene, that red dress really suits you! Namaste.
That was great on a rainy Sunday morning. Thankyou for the energizing start to my day .
Exactly what I needed just now - trying to invoke changes in my life and finding it exhausting at times! This was a perfect pick-me-up. Namaste.
Really nice!
Just what I needed....thank you.
I love you. When I need it the most, you provide the best practice to meet my needs. Thank you!
Thought I’d check in on my favourite online yogi ♀️ this morning. Started to view this practice while sitting in a chair with my feet up, next thing I know, I’m on the floor of my living room following along. Very sneaky Adriene.
This video was fun! THANK YOU! I laughed several times, because I just love your humor. It helps get me through some of the tougher poses.
Although sneaky, I really appreciated the approach to the plank. I have lower back pain so sometimes the approach to sphinx or forearm plank can aggravate that.
But setting it up like you did, seemed to help. (Also hilarious.. you tricked me!)
I feel a little pep in my step!
Namaste
Janet
P.s. What is that last crab/foot stomp move called?
Lovely practice. Thank you for sharing.
Namaste,
buongiorno to both of you. I love your classes so much, it always makes me feel good inside out.
grazie Benjil for making me giggle
Practice for my Sunday. Thank you for sharing. Namaste
Thank you so much - beautiful practice
Namaste

Every day the perfect practice surfaces as I navigate challenge after challenge <3 Deep Bows Adriene
The cutest part was when Benji did a downward dog at the very end .
Thank you Adriene (and Benji). Love from New Brunswick, Canada!
I have had a migraine for 2 days and this was just what I needed to get my perspective back and feel energised again.
Returned last night to Brooklyn from Hawaii and with a 5 hour time difference (plus the spring ahead hour) this session was exactly what I needed today-- including the giggles Benji provided at the end : ) Thank you, Adriene!
I enjoyed this. It's pretty much what I needed to help my jet lag from daylight savings time.
I am 60 and have joint pain with injuries to my left foot 8 months ago, my right knee 2 months ago and now hip pain which will be x-rayed. I work as a carer, I am 60 and although I have been doing yoga for years,and walking I am in pain at the moment. I have never been flexible in my hips and never could really do a tailor's cross-legged position when I am younger. I cannot cross my right leg at the moment. I really enjoy your sessions but I think my body is not as flexible as it needs to be to follow along. I listen to my body but have obviously overdone things with work, daily yoga etc. I think I need a gentler practice.
Just what the doctor ordered for today! I loved it better than a nap! BTW you and the Fluenz leader look like you could be sisters. Glad you to hear you had such a great week learning and sharing. Speaking of sharing, I was just talking about you today to a friend about how yoga is almost like giving yourself a massage! Just a great way to take care of yourself. Thanks for all you do! I sing your praises all of the time!
Sincerely,
Gwen
Thank you Adriene and Benji! Lovely way to start the day in Brisbane Australia xx
Again, thanks. We visited Austin recently, but sadly I was unable to time it so I could join one of your sessions in person. First visit to Austin, not the last. Construction reminded me much of home (Chicago Loop)! Great food, wine, music. And, as a result of our visit I "got" your recent Townes Van Zandt reference!
I really enjoyed today's practice. My wrist is sore so the forearm plank worked well for me today.
Great practice. I feel confident, and ready to attack the week ahead.
Also... BENJI!
Thank you for sharing Adriene! How will l now pass it on i wonder. Me and my daughter visited a chained dog today, brought him snacks and let him loose for a while. And i visited grandma on the hospital and then my mum home alone, well with a cat. I showed her some yoga poses actually. Well I suposse l have been quite busy passing it all on already! I m sure your show was great, too! Greetings from Poland!
I loved the ease of the pitter patter of our feet.. its wonderful to remember how simple movements of childhood can often create change needed for today. ❤️ You!
Namaste Adrienne! You are an awesome young woman and a delight to watch and listen to:)
Perfect ending to my weekend! This weekend was the anniversary of a huge life change, and the memories have left me feeling drained, so the title of this practice definitely caught my attention. Just what I needed! As always, thank you for what you do!!
Namaste
Hello Adrienne and Benji,
Great and unexpected !
My dog sleeps through our yoga sessions as well.
Just what I needed tonight! I feel awesome after that! Benji’s pose at the end was SO cute!
Loved this video Adrienne, but then, again, I love all your videos. God bless you!
Hi Adriene and Benji,
Thanks for the great practice and thank you for the laughs with the foot tapping waking Benji! The both of you always make me smile.
Great practice for me today, been feeling mentally and physically exhausted. Loved Benji’s little downward dog at the end lol
Benji really brought me to tears today. Reminded me so much of my late dog, who passed on october last year and used to "practice" yoga with me. Your Benji also made me smile, both my face and heart!
Thanks for bringing such good energy to my life, both of you!
Greetings from Guatemala 🙂
Wake up, Bengi!
Thank you both.
I’ve started the 30 day challenge & did an extra practice today with Change & Train. Loved it, the footwork was fun, Adriene. Amusing seeing Benji with his version of yoga at the end!
Thanks, Adriene
Now, I feel so much better!
I almost missed Bengi's down dog at the very end. Lesson learned. Never turn off 'til its all over!
You have truly changed my world! Been doing yoga for about two years off and on once or twice a week. In January began the 30 day challenge and now I do YOUR videos everyday. Plus attend yoga classes twice a week. Sometimes I do it twice! Game changer sister! Thank you!
I love how you seem to know exactly what I needed today:)
Exquisite. Thank you!
We love you so much Adriene!! Nice downward dog at the end Benji!!!
Namaste
Gosh that was wonderful! Thank you so much! And Benji .
Oh my god, Benji! I loved the unexpectedness of the foot slapping and was earnestly sending my Namaste when out of the corner of my eye I saw him send us off with a real downward dog. I love him so much. He's your perfect foil, Adriene! xoxo
I truly appreciate the practices you provide. You are in my home almost everyday. Thank you for your beautiful soul and sharing it with the world!
This was so delicious, as you like to say:) thank you for all that you do. Namaste!
Thank you, another wonderful practice. Will come back to this one. Loved Benji's downward dog at the end!
Thank you Adriene for all you do. I feel you and Benji are a wonderful addition to my life and look forward to meeting with you every day. I feel lucky to have found you both. I also feel so much better in myself, in so many ways, as the result of our daily yoga experience.
Sending much love to you both. I loved Benji's downward facing dog!
Irene xoxo
I love these short practices, they are making me stronger every day! Especially cute seeing Benji doing a downward dog at the end
Just what I needed this morning! Thank you!
Thank you ! That wS just what I needed to get me back into my usual active lifestyle after a wonderful vacation and break from my usual routine!
I've been neglecting my mat for the past two weeks but today I finally got myself out of bed and onto the floor. I can't help but smile when certain videos feel like they were made specifically for me, and during today’s practice I was all smiles.
Yoga with Adriene is my church and I'm very thankful for the discoveries I've made about myself because of her guidance and goofy song lyrics 🙂 She serves as a reminder that this world IS good and we should all enjoy life with every breath!
This was the first yoga in a few weeks for me. I fell off the wagon. But at the then there, slapping my feet, I had one of those moments when I saw how I found just what I needed today. Earlier in the week I had a reoccurrence of an autoimmune issues and the sensation in my feet and right leg have gone all wonky. Sending the energy up my legs and waking up my feet was the perfect way to end. Just loving on the syncronicity
I loved this! So amazing!!
Benjis timing in the end was perfect - a true downward dog..!
A perfect ending to a busy day. Thank you! Namaste
My dog fell asleep to Adrienne’s beautiful voice...I wish I could post the picture I took of him!
Thank you
THANKS from Germany. I have been following your videos for about two weeks now thanks to a former work colleague from China. Brand New to yoga but now your videos have been part of my "daily routine" as they help me stretch and prepare my body for long distance cycling rides. My golden retriever was sleeping soundly next to me as well. You are just LOVELY! THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I love this practice, Adriene! It is great morning and night and anywhere in between.
Thank you for your awesome videos!
This was the first time i did yoga, and i feel great. Thank you ❤️

You are an absolute joy. As always, I am so thankful I listened to my body and joined you on my mat today. Thank you <3
Blessings Adriene,
This is so great.
I feel taller, spacious and calmness is more accessible.
Namaste
I really needed this! I have been going through a lot of stress at work and kept pushing and felt so down after I finally stopped that I couldn’t bring myself to do anything but sleep. This helped me get back on the healing movement horse.
Thank you again - loved the bright light on my wet darkish November day - and that perfect downward dog Benji.
Was just about to start another video when this one caught my eye...my mom passed just two days ago...so, figured the universe was trying to tell me something. Nice gentle practice...felt good...and afterwards came the rush of tears and grief. Wow, so powerful...and cleansing...and whole...all at the same time. Thank you, Adriene!!!
This was just what I needed, thank you. And I love your cattle dog. Our blue heeler girl yawns the same way.
Thanks so much. Just what I needed to get me back in the Yoga vibe :).
Just loved it! Has really waken me up!
Thank you again. dear Adriene.
Thank you once again Adriene - loved this one, especially the gentle tantrum at the end!
Thanks so much for another great yoga session! I had tried for years to 'get' yoga. Only when I found Yoga with Adriene did I truly find what feels good. I am able to connect with my body and Yoga actually makes sense now.
