The practice of seeing and feeling yourself fully equips you to see and accept others. This is the Yoga that reminds us to recognize on a daily basis, we are one.

To anyone who needs this: You are loved. If you don't feel like anyone else cares about you, know that even though we're strangers, I care about you. We can get through this. Love to all! Namaste.

I really need to tell whoever reads this that I had a bit of a revelation on the mat today. A couple of years ago I used to do yoga almost every single day and almost always working from Adriene's videos, I did it when I came home from work in the evening and when I got up on the weekends. It made me happy and I did it as an act of kindness and though I enjoyed finding stronger muscles that was never the aim. Then life got harder and it became less frequent until months and months would pass between the times I came to the mat. I thought it was because I was afraid of being alone with my brain and my body especially as that body got larger and those muscles disappeared. I beat myself up not only for not exercising but also for the stupidity of avoiding doing something I know is good for me and makes me feel better. Then today after my third therapy session (because things have really reached a rock bottom) I was sobbing, I really needed to feel some self-compassion. When I stopped crying I decided to try this video in the hopes it might be of some comfort. As Adriene said to let the tears flow if they come they did start sliding down my nose and splashing onto the mat (the first time that's ever happened to me) and I realised that I have been deliberately withholding yoga from myself. Because I saw it as an act of self-kindness I had decided I wasn't worth it and decided to also berate myself for not taking care of myself. But today, as I cried and sweated and wobbled and struggled with poses I once found as easy as breathing I once again felt that feeling of self-kindness. I don't know when I'll be back on the mat again, I hope sometime this week but I know my brain is a fierce opponent, but in any case when I do manage it I know you'll be here x

"you can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." Love to all

This week I hit rock bottom. I've been suffering for so long and these past few days I've wanted to end it all. This practice felt like a warm hug. The moment Adriene said to let your tears fall I started to cry. Forever grateful for this community. These videos have helped me fight severe depression and anxiety for years now and kept me from giving up. All things must pass and tomorrow is a new day. Sending love to everyone who needs it! 💞💕

It's hard to breathe deep when your nose is clogged from crying but still a lovely practice, thanks Adriene.

Funny I'm here late again seeing my previous comment .... So much lazing about today...so great to end the day on this great mindful practice Greet Day05:05:24✅...huge ((hugs)) 🫂♥️to all that are suffering, i know how that feels, out of nowhere.i had tears flowing as my body releases all pain and tension, so ..... thank you Adriene for sharing your kind heart and time with us all. Glad i joined in with my fellow yogi lovelies. Wishing you all a comforting relaxing night with ease. Namaste ☮️🫂💜🪻🌿🙏🏾

I am a therapist. During this time of COVID-19 I have felt like a warrior, striving to help and support others. Being strong and reliable in a time of uncertainty. Today during this practice I fell apart. I wasn't expecting it. The tears caught me by surprise. I have been doing so much to support others and offer that space to be vulnerable, that I have not given that same attention to myself. I haven't been on my mat in days and as soon as I returned it was there to catch me. I am now letting the tears fall as they wish and taking this time to cleanse and heal. Thank you Adriene.

To those that are suffering - don't forget that everything is transient in nature, including suffering. It will pass. ♥

when she said it’s okay to let the tears roll down, I outright sobbed as I am in a weird mindspace today. Thank you for making me feel a little more accepted and a little less lonely this morning

Just reading the comments made me realise how many people are alone and suffering at the moment. It breaks my heart, but also want you all to know that you are here for a purpose, and though things never run smoothly or as planned as we had hoped, if we keep pushing forward and hold our head up high, we will ALL achieve great things. Treat yourself kindly and be patient. There’s only one of you and you can never be replaced. Xx

One of the worst weeks I've had in my life. Felt so lonely, depressed and anxious. Cried through the whole thing but it helped a lot. Thanks Adriene, and Benji.

Oh this came at the perfect time. I woke up feeling heavy today. My father is battling cancer and my sister and I have been helping make sure he's taken care of, battling insurance, helping him through a divorce process... it's been a lot, and on top of everything else there are some underlying issues with honesty and trust. I've also been going through some financial hardship and through it all coming back to my daily practices and connecting with my heart. This was one of those videos that helped me remember I'm not alone. That I have the strength to move through everything, to let go of whatever needs to be let go, and stay open to the joy that I know is never too far away. It felt a bit farther away this morning, but my time on the mat helped me move a bit closer, helped open my heart up into a space of compassion. Thank you Adriene, and everyone in this loving community!

Oh my - let the tears roll down - at 63 am going through therapy healing from a covert narcissistic mother - listening to and following Adrienne is as therapeutic as any ‘talk’ - I cannot thank you enough ♥️

My sensitive soul really needed this today

My cat died yesterday and I was going wild over my tears . In the beginning of this practice I was crying like a baby, missing him swirling around me and giving me headbumps during my downward facing dog. Thanks for this practice, with you I feel like I can face everything💙

Day 5 - Greet ❤thank you Adriene ❤

This was the first time I’ve cried on the mat. I’m just having a rough night. Old memories and traumas bubbling up. An ache in my chest. And for the first time I surrendered enough to cry on the mat. Thank you as always adriene.

GREET 🌅 | May 5, 2024 | A great reminder that when things are tough, we can recruit strength from within and around us for support. There's a lot of shoulders in this practice, but once we realize that we can support the shoulders with our core, glutes, legs - it's not so hard. 🙏

I just moved into a new apartment yesterday, and with it came all the craziness and chaos of packing, cleaning, unpacking into a new space. I also got really dehydrated, even though I was intentional about drinking water! My body is sore. The tough of this practice was extra tough. I was really impressed by the moment Adriene said, "I love you so much," before giving additional guidance. Suddenly the hard was defined by LOVE instead of it being HARD. What a game changer. Thank you ❤ I love you!

Greet day 5🎉 thank you, Adriene, today's practice started a bit hectic 😬 but half way in it became peaceful and I really got into it and loved it. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

When you said, I love you so much ( 11:40 ) you made me cry. You are the sweetest lady ever. So thankful for finding your channel Adriene. It's just nice to hear such kindness in these stressful times. I was in bed when this came on, and so I practised right where I was ...not so easy on a soft surface though! Lol. Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

This one’s for me but, at the moment, I can’t bring myself to do this just yet. I still appreciate it.

This practice came up when I was in a really bad place - not suicidal or anything, but just wanting to walk away from everything: job, business, everything I own, everyone I know. Just start walking and not stop. I had a good talk with a friend last night, and this came up this morning, just in time. I'm not at 100%, or even really 50% yet, but I feel so much better than I have for months. Namaste.

Such a beautifully gentle way to start a sunny Sunday here in the UK. Thankyou, Adriene and Benji xxx

“Bring your left hand to your sweet heart” broke me. I suffered a panic attack last week after going years without a major one so I was ill equipped to handle the “hangover” as well as I used to be able to. I have been out of my mind for a week, feeling anxious about feeling the disconnected from reality / losing your mind feeling that happens during an attack. I didn’t feel “whole” during most of this practice except for this moment. I know I will be okay in time ❤️

Last week I was on vacation and didn't get a chance to do this video. I am thirteen years old and I have been doing yoga with adriene everyday for a year now to help ease my anxiety and I love it. But last night, I was on a vacation somewhere else and I couldn't fall asleep and this may sound a bit silly, but I was having a panic attack and crying and I couldn't stop. I decided to turn on this video, at 12:00 at night, and I laid in bed watching it and it calmed me down completely. I wasn't even doing the yoga! But I fell asleep right after that. Thank you so much adriene for all of these high quality yoga videos. They have helped me so much. ❤️

Well I've definitely been suffering today. All my joints are hurting with the Fibromyalgia, and all I want to do is curl up in a ball for a thousand years. I get a lot of these kind of days, with the Fibromyalgia especially recently. The pain in my joins is so strong, it brings the depression on in my mind, but your yoga really is a life line on these kind of days. Thank you so much Adriene, thank you for always being there for me, helping to pick me back up again. I struggled to do this practice, but am glad I did. I do feel a little better afterwards, even if it's just on the mental side of things, you always make me feel happier with your good sense of humour, and your loving voice. Thank you Adriene, see you again tomorrow, Namaste.🙏 💙

Love Day 13 🙏 My heart goes out to all those suffering 😢 May you find solace in knowing there are many that care ❤ 🙏

It's a beautiful sunny day today.. im following the may 24 calendar. You are beautiful adrienne. I did shed a tear when you said that you are allowed to let the tears fall. Tears are a good release even when you don't think that you are feeling OK. Off to make the most of this beautiful sunny day 😎. Thank you adrienne. X

When you said “you are whole” I started to cry. You are so kind. 💕

It's Christmas eve I just sobbed my way through this practice alone in my room. My baby died a few weeks ago and I'm so heartbroken I feel like I could cry forever and it wouldnt make me feel better. Just listening to your voice makes me feel less alone, thanks Adriene❤

I just recovered from a panic attack, and this was perfect for dealing with aftermath. It was slow enough to keep me calm, but intense enough to burn off the excess energy. Now I should be able to sleep. Thank you Adriene for doing this for us!

Couldn’t stop crying and my nose was plugged and my brain was throbbing, chose this practice and my nose is clear and my head is calm. Thank you everyone for helping me through and helping me grow each time I return to my mat.

The best Yoga instructor ever ❤

GREET May '24...such a good practice and title, thinking of the people of Palestine.

Today I came to this practice because I was dealing with feelings of anxiety and anguish. The ongoing israelo-palestinian conflict is horrific. This practice grounded me in a moment of chaos, giving my body and mind a sense of unity and peace. Thank you Adriene once again❤️ I will pray for peace tonight

Still here for GREET May 2024. Still suffering ... it's part of life ... but dealing with it better. Am I really dealing with it better? Is it only different because the suffering has changed? I'm at a point where I don't care either way, it is what it is, just trying to make it through life, one day at a time. Still so grateful for these practices and I am making the effort to get down to the mat every day. Sometimes that means switching up the practices, as time and my daily constitution (body & mind) allow. Doing it. No excuses. I always feel better afterward. I noticed a change in attitude, too. Instead of seeing daily yoga as another chore, it is now something I crave. Sending love to the community and gratitude to Adriene, Benji & the team for all these wonderful videos! Extra hugs to everyone who is struggling. We got this. We are strong. ❤💪

I am not suffering at the moment, thankfully, but I decided to try this routine to help me focus and think about someone who is and how I can help. Thank you so much, Adriene! Namaste

Was crying through the whole thing but really wanted to thank you for taking care of so many people. I wish my mind was as strong as my body since starting my yoga journey more than 4 months ago. Just thank you. Hope that someday I'll battle my fears but as for now I'm trying to appreciate what I already have

during this practice every time i drifted off into dark places in my head, you said "i love you so much" i can't imagine a safer way to draw me out of suffering. thank you.

My dog laid on one end of my mat. Much of the practice my head was laying on her or just above her. She probably wondered what on earth was I doing, but she stayed. Her warm, loving soul and Adriene's helping me through a tough moment. 💞

As I do this with Renew 2021, its like the universe knew exactly what I would need at this point in time. We are all suffering in India as we speak and this has been somewhat of a soothing balm. I am so glad I am a part of this community.

Really struggled today. Stopped the video 2/3 of the way through thinking I wasn't going to make it, started reading some of the comments, cried a little, then ended up finishing the rest of the video (and now I'm crying some more). I honestly don't know what I'm feeling right now. I don't know if I'm depressed, angry, burnt out, scared, or some mixture of all of those. I still don't have the answer, but at least I feel a little bit less lonely now.

Preparing to begin this practice with the memory of my previous experience with it. I chose it on the date my Dad passed away 4 years later. It was the most connected I have ever been. I wept through so much of it. My mat was soaked with tears of grief. Such incredible release. Thank you Adriene. My heart is less heavy.

Me: :( (suffering) *Adriene has uploaded a video* Also me: :) (all good)

Greet, May 5, 2024. Attempted to do this during the morning on this fine Sunday, but time flew and another fast paced day began. Turns out I needed this yoga practice to calm and de-stress from the day's work and activities mentally. May feel it in my arms tomorrow, but I'm nice and relaxed at present. Namaste 💙

Renew Day 29: It's a dark, dreary day here in upstate New York, a perfect setting for Yoga for Suffering. Anyone else out there from Renew?

I've never heard anything more beautiful and true than Adriene's "I love you so much". I love you too thank you for this

Love day 13 😊

I’m loving the recent videos focused on gentle yoga/meditation ❤️

This is the first yoga practice I have done since my twin cousins died in a car crash at age 20. My heart and body feel as though in pieces as I have been riding the waves of grief for a few weeks now. Thank you for bringing love and wholeness back into my life through yoga, Adriene. Namaste.

Sending out tons of love and virtual hugs. 💚

Day 5 of Greet ❤ This was beautiful to practice again. Thank you!

This couldn’t have been more perfectly timed Adriene. Just as I was feeling broken and alone you helped me realize that I’m still here, one moving body, and that people all around the world are going through this with me. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️ “Do some yoga” is always the first thing on my list to feel better and you haven’t ever let me down. Thank you so much 🙏🏻 namaste

Namaste 😊🙏❤️🌟

Dear Adriene, I loved your metaphor of getting the power/force from within and also the suggestion to feel we are xhole zlthough broken in pieces❤… i search for support this morning having had to say goodbye to my cat yesterday and I feel your compassion all through your teachings. You are a lovely soul. Thank you so much for all your sharings🙏🙏🙏

My cat died this morning, he has been a part of life at every significant moment from child hood primary school, to my first day of highschool, to graduation, during university, my gap year and now back at university. He is my comfort, my sweetheart, my hope in this world. And now that he is gone my heart feels heavy. I am trying to cope through positive methods such as journaling, talking to a friend, looking through photos and of course yoga. I used to just eat my feelings away but instead I am practicing healthy alternative. I sobbed through this but it’s what I needed. Thank you Adrienne 💓

Awesome practice, thank you Adriene. It was exactly what I needed this morning ✨

"I got your back." 😭😍 I love you, Adriene!!

My father passed away in August of 2018 from a brain tumor. Today would have been his 65th birthday. This was the routine I needed today. Thank you Adriene.

Love you, Adriene. Thank you as always

Namaste 🧡

Just paused the video to scroll through the comments before I begin, it's a lovely little ritual and a sure way to make me smile and feel connected. Scrolled up again to start the video and realized that Benji gazed straight into the camera lens and it ALMOST made me cry, he is so sweet. Thank you

we had to put my family dog down a few days ago, and overwhelmed by grief and emotion i haven't been able to move much or really do anything. this yoga practice was so relieving i felt sad when it ended. tears fell during the practice but i now realize that it's okay to cry and to let go and to suffer. thank you for making me feel whole in this awful time, sending much love your way and to everyone who may read this

One day from my full annual health exam. Practice has helped me realize that it is not really worry but old stored energy in my core that has me bothered. Sure, there is some worry as the mind sends fleeting thoughts of worst cases, but almost almost all of it is just stuck anxious energy from long ago. Not saying I am looking forward to the colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow but as a whole, there is nothing in that short two hour maximum exam that should keep me anxious. This sequence really helped to reduce the body's anxiety, particularly when we had leg raised. That is when I especially felt a lot of dissipation. Still have some but not nearly as much as I have had the last days. Nourish day 17. 409 days in a row

I needed some comfort today after the terrible tragedy that happened in Texas yesterday. Thank you for having this available to help me cope with all the suffering in our country. Love and Peace.

Today our second round of IVF failed-one egg retrieved and it was abnormal. I’m in a lot of physical pain right now, so I’ll try this tomorrow, but I can’t wait.

So much kindness in the comments for this video... After a day of facing a lot of harassment from other people, it's nice to find a space where people are openly being kind to one another. Today's yoga practice was good; more than that, though, thank you for the kind words you all shared, and your openness about your experiences. 💖

Penultimate day of renewal. Heal through the practice, how wonderful.

I was crying when I did this video today. It has been a rough day. Doing this with Adriene and her saying that it is ok to feel what I feel helped. It felt like having a friend. Thank you for sharing this video. I feel much better now.

Blessed Beloved Beauties! Love Day - 13 was a unique experience. There was a lot of pressure on my shoulders. Perhaps I needed to modify. We all experience some form of suffering in our lives. One of my yoga teachers encourages me to dance 💃🏾 in the obstacle. It's really about our perception. This is my first time practicing this session. Best wishes, everyone! 🦋♥️🦋

Thank you Adriene that was a lovely yoga practice. I struggled a little bit with my fibro today, my shoulders not wanting to work like they should. But I breathed and took breaks and got through it. I now realise that practice was exactly what I needed today. So thank you again Adriene, you are awesome! Namaste friend. 💙 🙏

Thank you Adriene 🧘🏼‍♀️

Hi Adriene, I wonder if you still ever read these comments 3 years later but I just want to tell you how much of an help you've been for me. Last year I started struggling with depression and eventually decided to give this yoga a try. It has helped me and I after almost a year got back on my feet. However unfortunately I am falling again a bit in some relapse.. I thought I could do it alone and that I don't need the yoga anymore, but after all I've decided to come to you again. Thank you so much for all of your videos; this is the first one I opened again after a long time and I cried a whole river 😅 Cant wait to follow your new videos as well and to anyone struggling with whatever, I recommend you give it a try. You may not think its working, but you're really building something with this and Adriene IMO is the best one I've seen online to guide u through your own journey :) x

Adriene, thank you for this. At the beginning of the year I did your videos for three months religiously. Then I moved into a new apartment, living on my own for the first time, and all of the little ways I would normally take care of myself fell by the wayside. Since then, I have been struggling. Last week I had a good talk with a mentor who encouraged me to bring those back, so this was the first video I chose to ease back into it. Such a beautiful practice, I definitely cried in moments. Thank you for having my back. I'm happy to be back.

Blessed Beloved Beauties! I substituted Greet Day 5 for Yoga for lower back pain which gave me great relief. Although, as I take a glimpse of this session it appears it will be wise to return to the mat before bedtime. I do feel like I'm suffering through completing final grades, so I may return once I'm done to celebrate!!! 🎉👏🏿💐 Best wishes, everyone!🦋❤️🦋

I love how when I come to the mat sometimes my headache goes away. Today I really loved hearing 'I got your back', 'focus on your centre and get support from within' and 'I love you so much'. I love how on this channel, yoga isn't just about physical but also emotional and spiritual strength, flexibility and so on

Sobbed through the whole flow and still crying. Adriene thank you for letting me cry on the mat and telling me you love me. Thank you for your gentle words. Thank you everyone for doing this flow with me and crying with me. Love is what will save the world. Show love to people even if you disagree with them and tell them you care.

Thank you so much for this. I lost my father to Covid19 in May and have been trying to get a handle on my grief, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Your videos have been nothing short of a blessing to me. ❤

Greet May 5 2024...surrendering on this rainy Sunday morning 😇

Was pretty sick but came to the mat anyway

Thanks Adriene!

I've been having the hardest time in my life right now and I can't bring myself to do this practice right now but I feel comforted to know that it's here when I feel ready

I am a yoga instructor for Korea speaking people and I watch your videos to correct my position and learn something new :) and I still have a long way too go~ I love the way you to teach each position~ Thank you Adriene!

Just put this on. Crying my eyes out.

Day 5 complete My brother and I did this one together I'm still a little sick but one of my dogs came in while we were doing the yoga and she was being cute. 05/05/2024

wow im glad this popped up now. soooooo much love to everyone

I had an awful nightmare last night and barely any sleep. My body feels achey and inflamed this morning, so I picked this video… helpful! Thank you, Adriene! 🙏🏻💛

My tears were fall on the mat but you made me feel supported and loved, thank you more than words can say x I love you too Adriene 🥰 and always grateful you are there x x I hope anyone out there needing support they find their way to you ❤❤❤❤

I get so much out of these practices. Thank you Adriene. You are a beautiful human

Yoga like a prayer out to all the suffering this week east of here in the farm lands that are under flood waters, these are the people and animals who provide us with our dairy, and produce here in the lower mainland of BC, Canada. My heart goes out to all the pain and suffering coming with our changing climate, here and around the World.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't know how many times you've really saved me from spiralling thoughts and sadness or physical pain. Thank you.❤

Thank you so much Adriene🙏 i felt really sad and in pain when i came to the mat, but just 20 minutes with you and something shifted. Yoga is really magical some times

That "I love you" in the middle of the practice really got me ❤️

Day 5 of May 2024 To all my fellow sufferers ❤❤ and healing

For me, it was when you said to bring your hand to your heart and to feel that warmth. For some reason, that’s where the tears started flowing. Thank you so much for this video!!!!

this practice continues to help me. I cannot thank you enough.

Swapped this with day 16 of Nourish as I left work a little early feeling a touch under the weather. I'm not suffering terribly but this felt more like what I needed than yoga for a flexible mind and body. Love to all those doing this because they are suffering. May you find healing 🙏

i don't often comment on things online, but whether this comment is seen or not, i really felt compelled to write something. i have loved following your yoga videos for years, and they have supported me in all kinds of situations but this flow is really really special. thank you so much for creating this space for us to keep coming back to, so that each time things are so bad that i cannot see a way out, i know that i need to come here to start learning how to be kind to myself xxx
