Been doing yoga with you for 2years now as recommended by my physio after a slipped disc. I practice daily, was difficult at first due to pain but I can honestly say doing yoga with Adrienne has changed my life. I have no pain now In my back, also have had severe arthritis in my neck for over 30yrs but found a video for neck and shoulders and now I have no pain at all.I also could not bend my knee due to an injury but now I can bend it. Truly amazing Honestly I feel like a new person I'm calmer more positive more energy and this practice today just reiterated that. It doesn't matter what age you are I'm nearly 63 you can do yoga and it will change you physically and mentally. I'm so more in tune with my body and listen to it daily.Thank you Adrienne for your wonderful videos and inspiration. See you on the mat.your amazing. Namaste
Catina...i absolutely concur with everything you have written.......at 56 i am better than ever thanks to ywa.....being on the mat and listening to my body also helps me to feel twinges that need attention before they become a problem......Bravo You! Bless xx
Me too Lisa! I'm 56 and my body gets really cranky when I don't practice with Adrienne. I just feel better and more aware about everything actually...
Thank you Adriene - wonderful as always!
I see what you're doing here, Adriene -- such a great practice on the near-eve of the midterm elections. May we find ways to come together and see one another. Namaste.
Do it every day
A pleasant Sunday to all
That was an amazing half hour. Always seems more worthwhile than I expected when I first set aside the time! thank you -
It was as though you looked inside my heart and knew what was needed. After a week of change from moving home; to working with new people; to losing someone close ~ I really needed a shift of perspective. Thank you wholeheartedly for this gift.
With love, K
Wow, OH, WOW! Beautiful practice and definitely what I needed. I have been dealing with a couple of personal issues that I feel uncomfortable speaking to someone about and this practice allowed me to slow down and flip my perspective (plus 2 cry sessions). I even pushed away my fear and tried tree legs in side plank! Yay, I am getting so STRONG!
Thank you, thank you!
Looking forward to the inversions next year.
This was perfectly amazing! I feel so much better! Keep these practices coming!
From Colombia I just wanted to say thanks Adriene. You are helping me to conect to my true self.
Thank you, Adriene! Wonderful practice as always, but Benji stole the show in this one! I couldn't help but look at him walk around and sniff the plants when I was supposed to be in forward fold! 🙂 Namaste
Wonderful way to start the day!! Have an amazing week.
Thank you, Adriene!
Peace to us all!!!!
Thank you Now when I’m in a downward dog I will endevor to notice what I have to be greatful for! Peace & Love Namaste
I hopped into something comfy, the mat had my back and then the magic happened. Thank you never seems like enough!! This was and AHHH-MAZING practice today. I am celebrating 1 year of doing yoga regularly with you and it's just... wonderful. Thanks x 100. Happy Sunday y'all!
That was beautiful and really hit the spot Thank You Adriene and Benji. Namaste !!
Thanks for the nudge to shift perspective. Somehow it was exactly what I needed today.
Love the "obsessive amount of awareness" on the feet. We need more foot focus!
Thanks, as always! I needed that for my tight neck this AM. Alaska (my pup) and I are always glad to see Benji ;)! Perspective, Perspective, Perspective! If you are in America, don't forget to VOTE on Tuesday. One voice, One vote. Use it!
I look forward to spending each Sunday with you, Adriene! Thank you!
Wonderful practice! Just what I needed this morning! Thank you!
P.S. Benji is so cute 🙂
Great practice as always. Thank you.
Thank you like always a. Yoga. Sunday
You
Make my day. Xxx
Thank you for everything!
Beautiful practice. Thank you so much Adriene :*
I enjoyed that, also, unconsciously I did yoga in a part of the house I had never used for yoga before, so I really did gain a NEW PERSPECTIVE
<3
as always, exactly what I needed.. second month on film set and my body started to be tired and stiff and the mind also.. the practice shifted my perspective, feel much lighter.
many thanks,
with Love
So grateful for your support. rather miserable day but after yoga feel a tad better 🙂 Will reflect on being more open to other perspectives. Wise advice -)
I am a beginner but would like to vary my daily routine. Which sessions / videos should I be logging on to? I did the free 30 day yoga routine last year and would like something varied like this again. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Sherin, you could try one of Adriene's other 30 days of yoga series: Yoga Camp, Yoga Revolution, or TRUE. These are all on this site and on the YouTube channel. Or you could join us for the monthly yoga calendar. You can read more about that here.
Hi Adriene, this practise was awesome. 🙂 New poses gave me a new perspectives 🙂 Yesterday I have thought about practise and I dreamed about practise like this. Thank you!
I have Had a Yoga practice for 50 yrs. For the last 3 mos. I have not been able to practice. I am recovering from an illness and am now ready to return to my Yoga. Today was the first time I have tried. This practice was a first step! I loved every part. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day
Namaste,
Carol
Beautiful, exactly what I needed. I am wrestling with some work and personal decisions. Opening my mind to new perspectives is definitely what I need to do
Love your practice and this community.
And Benji too
Namaste
Very thankful for todays practice. Thank you Adriene for being you and helping is feel better.
And there it is. The right practice at the right time. I really needed this, and the reminder that the hardest part is often to commit to getting on the mat, taking a break from a heavy schedule of worrying about the outside world.... And BREATHE. I really appreciate your commitment to show up and share the transformative power of yoga practice. And Benji is always inspiring and comforting in equal measure. Love him. Thank you.
Hi Adriene,
Could you make a yoga series or session for people with limited range of motion in the knees and ankles? Something to help increase ROM? Or a session where you teach how to do variations when you have limited ROM. I would love it as I have a problem with my left knee and I usually just skip a few poses because I can’t do them, but definitely need the stretch!
Thank you!
I will add your request to Adriene's list of requested videos, Marie. In the meantime, maybe you would like to try Yoga for Sensitive Knees if you haven't already.
So grateful for you!! thank you, Adrienne, for yet another solid flow. xx
This is my first week back after quite a hiatus to your generous sharing of yoga practice. I can actually keep up with your gentle, encouraging approach. My body and soul are alive with confidence that I can face the challenges of life today.
Love and light my fellow healer!
To learn yoga with you is so nice. I always feel good after these youtube practises.
My mind gets clear and my body a bit stronger. Thanks a lot!
Hi Adriene,
I am grateful to you for allowing us to spend time with you each day. I love your zany sense of humor, that makes me smile throughout the day. Following along has been rough with such a small space, and balancing time in between family visits that are unexpected. I am working on moving myself to a room upstairs that has plenty of room with no fear that someone will just pop in interrupting my focus. You are truly a blessing. I am getting stronger than I have ever been, and like you always say a little does go a long way. Thank you for taking time to teach us, you are definitely an inspiration.
I can't believe you Adriene. You always synchronize with my life. My best friend was in a life threatening car accident last week and the moment really changed my perspective completely. So much to the point where I was writing a song and painting about perspective... THEN you release this video! time to gain this new perspective of mine. I haven't even done the video yet because I'm so excited, not usual to leave a prevideo comment, but i just had to say that! Time to flow! Thank you Adriene!
thank you Adriene
had to do it today, but just as great.,As always!
I just love these videos and YOU!
THANK YOU, and Nameste!❤️
Thank you for such a wonderful practice today! It was just what I needed.
Thank you so much Adriene you are awesome; I have been following you for a year and a half , I feel great doing yoga at home I appreciate your practices very very much Thank you again
the tip tap tip tap of Benji's nails on the wooden floor....priceless! xxoo
Always find new inspiration from you to put a little something different into my yoga class on a Monday morning here in France. Great themes to work on and reflect on in life, perspective is a good one. Thanks Adriene, you are a special star x
Today was awesome! Talk about body shake OMGosh! Thanks A & B. I thought for sure Benji was going to knock over the plant. He saw something LOL
Hi Adriene,
Just want to thank you so very much for sharing your time, energy and perspective with us This yoga journey has been at times challenging,(especially in the beginning as an older guy), invigorating as I found myself gaining flexibility and strength and perspective myself as I've pulled the centeredness and calm I've experienced in yoga into the rest of my life. It was a real treat to meet you in Philadelphia last year- hope to attend another event sometime. Best to you.

Haven't been on my mat for a few days due to a heavy cold. What a practice to come back to. Don't know why it's taken me so long to realise that yoga is truly magic but would hazard a guess that it's because I hadn't discovered your unique and fabulous teaching techniques - Adriene and Benji - you are brilliant! x
Dear Adriene thank you for your generous, sincere and openhearted work. Thank YOU for sharing your energy with us.
Love Nataša
Hello Darling Adriene

I REALLY loved this video! It’s just what I needed! I have been doing daily YWA for just over two months now, and I am LOVING it! It’s definitely added to my meditation practice too! Thank you so much for the yoga and your awesome spirit and kind attitude!
Awesome -as always.When I lapse in keeping regular practice I forget how much better I feel doing yoga. Have recommended Yoga with Adrienne to many clients and friends. Much love and blessings to you Adrienne and your amazing team. Namaste xxx
Thank you!
Always enjoy the time spent with your videos. Thank you for you knowledge, perspective and sense of humor!
Merry Christmas from Maine!...The best gift I gave to myself today! Your sessions are gifts all year round.
Excited for the January Dedicate with you!...Namaste to all!
Mom had to bring my puppy in from outside cause he was barking at the UPS man She left to do some errands and with my stepdad sick in bed my puppy perched himself at the end of my mat Throughout the entire practice he never moved except to lie down across the end of my mat but that was it When Adriene said if headstand was in our practice we could do so I went from feeling panicked to seeing my puppy smiling like he was laughing at me I feel I own a puppy with a sense of humor Great practice though and I got to do things that I felt was pushing me in the way I need I was told by my yoga instructor that- that’s what I need to keep challenging myself so thank u for this practice I greatly appreciate you and all that you’ve done to help me Namaste
Thank you 😉 It was a real pleasure 😉
I chose this practice today feeling chaotic inside & out due to big changes going on in my life, my family, my kids lives. Everywhere I look, chaos. Thank you for the reminder to be grateful & to look around at the good. Perspective is everything. The practice was wonderful & my plan is to continue to purposefully choose a different perspective today. I'm better now than pre-practice, as always.
Thank you!!
Great practice definitely and very relaxing as well When you were talking g at he end about how sweet enjoy looked I realized I had drifted off shavasana But then again t is 1:39 and have been working out since 8:30 this morning I probably just need a hot shower and some food Keep up the great job You and Beni are so awesome I love y’all so much
Adriene your voice can save a lost soul x
Thank you so much for inspiring me to do yoga every day! It brings me so much... love, joy, equilibrium, peace, focus, energy... what not! Thank you, dank je wel, gracias, namasté!
