Day 12 - Drop | BREATH - A 30 Day Yoga Journey

The breath is a dear friend that you can drop into conversation with anytime, anywhere.
The quality of that conversation will change from moment to moment, day to day, week to week, year to year. The awareness of this ongoing conversation might change your life. It did mine.

Gently dropping your ties to the exterior and taking time for yourself is not selfish.

When you arrive on the mat remember you are there to experience your body, and your breath. You are there to snuggle up to your truth, what feels like home, what feels honest.

Take the time to drop in.

YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

You may work today to release stress or worries, allowing yourself to be present in this process for the short time we are on our mat. This is our shortest session yet. You are doing great!

Hi everyone, I'm feeling a little down this morning..but I'm so glad I made it to my mat..sending love to all 🤗 x

[BenjaminBlak]

Today was the hardest day yet for me, not in terms of the practice being physically challenging, but emotionally. I really didn’t want to come to the mat today, I am feeling all the feelings and spent most of my practice getting distracted and feeling frustrated, but I kept going, I kept trying to arrive at the breath and bring myself back to the present moment.

In that dedication I found myself so grateful that even through the hard times I have learnt to show up for myself and within that practice I am forging an even deeper relationship with me. I strive to never abandon myself again, especially when I’m needed most. So I will continue to show up and continue to be here.

Thank you for reading yoga family and for being on this journey with me! I hope you have the most magical day and have a wonderful practice. BB x

I wonder if you make the videos progressively shorter so that people like me who with gusto on January first will stick it out for long 45 minute session but come Jan 13 when I'm tired, and lazy, and need to drag my ass to the mat can see that it's only 18 minutes and just bite the bullet and do it.

Definitely is helping me build the pattern of yoga every damn day! On purpose or not, thanks Adrienne!

[SuperGileee]

To everyone who is draging this 30 day journey out to what is more like 2 months - it's great that you are still showing up to yourself, even though it's not everyday❤ Having a 3 month old at home somehow let's me feel like I am doing this everyday, when actually I am not. Maybe it's because of the flow between all the videos in the series. Love that!

I almost went to bed without doing Day 12. It's been a tough week as I am nursing a broken heart and the end of a 7 year relationship. I'm so glad I showed up. The end had me in tears when Adriene said, may you always see the truth, speak the truth and feel the Those words were a gift from the universe and I needed to hear that today. Thank you so much Adriene! I needed to release those tears today, and I am so glad I could do that surrounded by the love and support of this community.

[sugoizoe]

Feel like somehow she knows when you need a shorter practice, pretty sure you’re a unicorn or some kind of magical yoga entity Adriene 🤣

[HollyL]

Doing this yoga journey daily not only makes my body feel great, but it makes my soul happy doing it with all of you. We’ve made it to day 12, everyone smile and be proud of yourself.👍

[roseliesamson]

Note to self: drop in and be with yourself, drop the expectations and just be. Namaste, everyone! May we always see, speak, and feel the truth ☺️🙏🏽

My little niece was with me at the end of practice and she couldn't stop asking "where is the doggy??" 😆 Benji is the star ⭐

[atramt]

thank you! "We don't always need that 90min sweat to get connected to our bodies, to listen to our heart song". Me today: went jogging to release emotions, I felt good, listening to the music. Me on the mat after just a few breaths: in tears, realizing that I was holding a big package of lost and sadness, the whole day, instead of just feel those emotions and allow them to be here with me. Maybe I am not a wag today, but after the practice, at least I feel some integrity. See you all on the mat tomorrow!

[noura.w.]

"May we always see the truth. May we always speak the truth, May we always feel the truth."
Hearing this gave me chills today. Thank you, Adriene!!

[dyttocourtney]

Adriene, the generosity that you've shown me will be forever engraved in my heart!! You must be an angel because you helped me sooo much when I needed it! You really help me endure bad times, and make good times even better! You're a lifesaver! Accept my endless gratitude! Thankyou berry much, Adriene & Benji ^^ 🌿

[FwutUdid]

Anybody else get emotional when Adriene said “love you guys” at the end of today’s practice? I feel like it’s the first time I considered how much she truly cares about us all and how much she’s done for so many of us! ❤️🥰

[lisaslifestyle]

I'm doing this challenge in March/April and am not doing it consistently every day but doing it most days. I'm learning to be kind to myself. It's ok to not do them everyday. Just as and when you can. I hope you can all be kind to yourselves too!

[emilymauelshagen]

Anyone else here late to the game and doing the daily challenge in February? Anyways, my body feels amazing after these first 12 days, can't wait for more! Thank you Adriene!

[bijanlove]

Who's still here and loving it? Sending love to everyone in this beautiful, positive, and encouraging community! We are doing great and thank you as always Adriene!

[jessiem]

First time ever I was able to get into a yogi squat with my heels down!!!🥳

[valeriekaroline]

Never imagined myself getting up at 6 AM, sitting in front of my computer and waiting for your practice to come live. But you make me do it! And I love it ✨

[emiliquevillon]

anyone else get emotional during the last breath and saying namaste? every video I have felt the tears coming at the end, I feel so connected after each session and feel so much love and support from Adriene! I am so happy to be a part of this community!
