13 minutes, my friends. Today’s new practice is short and invites your Sadhana in with a certain kind of magic. Are you in?

A note for anyone reading this before doing the video (and my future self doing the video again!) When Adriene says just one more minute on the shoulder- tapping plank things, she doesn't mean it literally so don't give up at that point like I did!

Got very frustrated with this one and felt very weak, so I stopped about 9 minutes in and scrolled through the comments. I saw so many people expressing similar feelings and made it all the way, so I actually kept going--and then I did my first side plank EVER! Oh my gosh! I feel stronger than ever now! Thank you YWA community!!! <3

my upper body has always been the weakest part of my body, but ever since I started doing yoga with Adriene I've noticed my arms getting so much stronger already. I did everything in half plank today except the last bit, but i'm still so proud of myself because I know this is the start of a longer journey. Thank you Adriene!! Namaste <3

I angry cried in the middle of this because I was so frustrated and just sat on my knees in namaste because Adriene said I couldn't get down on myself while bowing to the light. Grateful for this positive community.

Day 3 - Embody. One of my routines after completing a YWA practice: reading the comment section and looking for comments that are similar to how I feel during the practice. Don't let your frustration discourage you. You can do it. If not today, one day you will. I still remember how frustrated I was the first time I did this practice 2 yrs ago. My arms were shaking, my knees were burning. And today, repeating this practice for Day 3 - Embody, I can feel how much my body has changed. I can do side plank smoothly without bending one knee for additional support.

This was very hard for me so I only did half of it. Good thing I no longer shame myself for not being able to do everything and I can still enjoy the practice!

I love to think that someone's always practicing with me somewhere else in the world, even if it's not at the exact same time. You're never alone, you can do it ♥️

[pasttenseroyalty]

Me: Oh upper body strength, cool! I wonder what poses we'll d-
Adriene: Push ups

[chezkabiancatorres]

I think I came in early today. Who's here from Breath? 🙋🏽 Let's keep going my friends! ☺️ Lot's of love for Adrienne and everyone.

[MsPaigeKathleen]

“ONLY 1 more minute here!” Girl you ☺️🙏🏼💓

[RobertaA]

13 minutes but you can feel the difference afterwards! Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[johannafrog]

My arms are definitely the weakest part of my body, so this was perfect :D
I feel strong!
I send love your way, Namaste ☀️

[caroline]

i did this several months ago and gave up halfway. this time, i did half plank almost the entire time and my arms gave out at one point with the full plank. but i did the whole thing :) progress!

[blessieva]

Just moved in to a new place all alone, and with all my unpacked stuff around me in disarray... I just blessed my new home with this practice hoping to feel less lonely 😢 Please send me some love Bridge Feb 2021 friends! ♥️🙏

Day 4 June 20 Courage - Did it look perfect? No, but it felt good. Like I was waking up my body. I’m approaching day 70 and am on my fourth calendar in this time. There’s no way I could have done this practice at the start. Thank you!

[Curiousdaydreamer]

Here for breath day 18 - found that really tough and could not do it all but I’m here, I showed up, I did it and I’m excited to only get stronger! Namaste everyone 🙏🏻

[ghazalabedi]

Adriene: only one more...
Me: *YES*
Adriene:...minute

[SannaKartau]

Balance, day 9. Arrived to the mat with angry desperation. Leaving the mat with peaceful determination.

As a senior yogi, I was not sure if to do this practice, but my arm strength is my weakness so I was curious. It was a bit of a challenge, but you say ‘ Have some fun ‘ Adriene, so I did my mindful senior version to keep safe but to improve my arm strength. The short breaks between were so good and I was rewarded with my favourite shark fin namaste 😃 ! I ended with my knee down side planks and 13 minutes was just fine for a short workout. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕
