Take a load off with this 12-minute relaxing yoga session created to help you wind down, love, and honor your body. Perfect practice for after work or to help you get ready for bedtime.
Give the thinking mind a break and relax the body. Let go of anything you don’t need.
Join me (and a VERY relaxed Benji) in noticing what it feels like to take this time for yourself.
A little goes a long way.
(You deserve it!)
Namaste.

Hi my friends! Today's practice is a big request - something short, simple and easy to follow. Something that you can wind down with. How do you feel after taking 12 minutes to relax your body?

My doctor asked me to try regular yoga as I have severe anxiety among other things, and haven't been able to go to school for around 7 months. He said that he does yoga too and watches your videos. And at first I was skeptical but it's honestly helped me more than I thought. I love doing my yoga session every night and your videos always cheer me up and help me relax, thank you for what you do. ❤️

Katrina Mercedes. Just thought I’d say I started doing the yoga thing around a year ago and it’s the best thing I have ever done, but while I find it very beneficial during the day, try it first thing, Adrienne does a video of an early morning ‘wakie wakie’ practice! I find Adrienne’s pace just right. But then I’m an ‘old fart’

as a 15 year old sophmore in high school, i find myself falling asleep at 1 or even 2 a.m., my mind scattered with random thoughts such as, “did i do all my work? what am i going to wear tomorrow? what hallway should i take to get to math?”. these prevent me from the important thoughts that i should be having before i finish the day; “am i happy? do i feel grounded? am i present with my mind and body?”. recently i’ve been forcing myself to lay on my floor and watch this video around 9 or 10 p.m. to calm myself and relax my brain. i also have gone to bed around 10 or 11 at the latest and wake up feeling fresher than ever. thank you for helping me become a better person, i feel like if i start doing this now, my future self will thank me so much, i appreciate your work and this yoga routine is amazing so thank you again!

Hi Anna, please make sure not to overwork yourself and carve out time in the day for yourself. Mental health is so important and things tend to work out at your age, so make sure to do something you love every day instead of being so concerned with your responsibilities, even if it’s just one hour a day!

Heya! I'd really recommend watching some videos about taking the choice out of your mornings and not leaving it to tomorrow morning's brain. Such as packing your bag, laying out your clothes, preparing breakfast etc. the night before school. If you get into the habit of reducing how much you have to THINK about it later by spending just 10 mins the night before, you can start your days in a much more streamlined and peaceful way! You can even put toothpaste on your toothbrush for tomorrow morning 🤣 good luck with your studies and take care of yourself!

I haven't practiced in a while but there's something to be said about the way that yoga just allows you to show up as you are. Here I am, messy hair, messy room, yet grounded and stable and worthy of honoring myself and what my body needs. Coming back to yoga after a while just feels like a nice hug. Your practice just meets you where you are. Nothing more. Nothing less. It is one of the most radical forms of self love I have ever experienced and I'm so grateful for it's presence in my life. And grateful to Adriene for making it so accessible! I hope whoever is reading this, wherever you are, that you are able to find some peace today, like I did, practicing here in the early AM. Sending love 💜

@catlinboy 3 жыл бұрын

Adriene, I want to thank you for the phrase 'if this isn't available to you'. I will admit that at first I was a bit eyerolly at it, but I've come to realise that this is due to my own judgement of my body and its value. Whilst I thought it was initially mildly patronising to be so avoiding the phrase 'if you can't do this', I'm now really understanding how unnecessary it is to bring negativity by reminding myself I can't do something during yoga. It adds judgement to my body whilst I'm trying to appreciate and relish it. So yes, some movements aren't available to me, and thank you for giving the words to acknowledge that without me describing it as a personal flaw. Those change of words represent a change of how I am viewing myself.

Hugging my knees up to my chest has never been accessible to me, I have big boobs and short legs, it's just hard. I've always just held on for dear life hoping one day it might just work. Today instead I asked myself "what good is this doing for me?" and instead I stopped the struggle and gave myself a big hug across the chest because really that's all we're trying to do. Give ourselves a hug. What good does struggling do me? None at all. Thank you Adriene for always reminding me why we do yoga. Not to get into a shape, but to feel good 💕

Same! Sometimes I'll use a strap under my knees. When I was taking in-person classes, we did a thing once as if we were going to do legs up the wall, and then brought knees to chest with the soles of our feet on the wall, which made me realize how much I had been struggling with the posture and how shameful that struggle felt. I think you're right to just ask, what is the purpose of this pose (sometimes for me it's a low back release), and how else can I achieve that purpose?

*Not forcing anything on you* . But I strongly recommend prayer. Not only from my experience, but billions of people out there who have experienced the unexplainable unworldly power, love, grace, comfort, joy and peace of God in our lives. I remember when I had my first panic attack, a soothing voice (mind you, I felt like I was going to die, almost hopeless, but I had God and called out to him) and he told me “be still and know that I am God” . It didn’t immediately stop my anxiety cause I wasn’t fully trusting in him, but it’s a powerful verse and sentiment that calms my anxiety like nothing else to this day. Prayer is real, prayer is powerful. It wouldn’t hurt to try :) but regardless of what you choose, I love you, God loves you, and I’ll be praying for you Allyson ❤️

@@brochacho8156 it's quite problematic to say something like a spiritual practice "didn’t immediately stop my anxiety cause I wasn’t fully trusting in him" while telling a story to someone (especially someone who's struggling with anxiety), as it puts the blame on the person for having anxiety because "they weren't trusting enough" in God... As someone who was in ministry for years and witnessed the way so many Christians unknowingly or knowingly use spiritual manipulation to gaslight people into shaming themselves for having mental illness when in fact it is an illness and there is NOTHING that person did to deserve it, I highly recommend thinking a bit more before you post. (and putting a disclaimer like "Not forcing anything on you" before your comment does not take away from the level of manipulation that is presented later in your post! do better!)

Hello there. I was diagnosed with a muscle wasting genetic illness eighteen months ago and have been attending a six week zoom course arranged through the hospital, meeting other people with neurological illnesses and learning from each other. On week 3 we looked at relaxation and sleep and I mentioned I always use this particular exercise last thing at night, as well as lots of various others of your exercises too. Another couple of people on the course said that they regularly used your exercises too! The leaders of the course, all employed by the hospital, asked for the links. So soon you may be recommended by top doctors at the UK NHS. Love your courses. Thank you so much. Leighton x

UNION ♾ | November 24, 2023 | It's been a while since we had the pleasure of winding down with Adriene and this practice. I didn't do this at bedtime today, but it is a day off so it was still the perfect segue to slowing down and relaxing for the rest of my day! 🙏

I've done this practice so many times, but tonight it impacted me more than ever before. I am a college student abroad for a year, and I haven't taken the time to do yoga and tend to my mind and body since getting here two months ago. I've worked out hard at the gym, traveled, and studied, but I have not been taking this necessary time for mindfulness within my own body. When I heard Adriene's voice I immediately felt at home and when she said to hug yourself however you specifically need, I melted. This practice is so important, and I need to remember to come back to it when feeling lost. Thank you Adriene
