12-Minute Core Conditioning

Two words, FLOOR CORE. Take 12 minutes to build connection to center while strengthening and toning your abdominal muscles. This is not a yoga practice but this session offers a short and effective training session for those looking to strengthen all areas of the core – abdominals, low-back muscles, intercostals, and obliques.

Improve back health, reduce back pain, and improve core-oriented yoga poses with this fun floor practice!

Return to this session regularly to build strength and progress. Find joy in your process!

Adriene,
I feel compelled to write to you after this week's newsletter.


I live in Bangalore (India) and have spent the last 10 days accompanied mainly by the siren of ambulances as they drive past. Each time I hear it, I find the alarm unnerving and can't help thinking of those that are struggling for help across India. I have oscillated between feeling moments of deep sadness and trying to build a routine for myself to maintain some semblance of normalcy.
I was feeling low yesterday when I saw your newsletter, and broke down on reading it. I offer you deep gratitude for calling attention to the crisis in India and mobilizing support for us. Trusting myself and breath, and building community are strong lessons I have learnt this year and the Yoga with Adriene community were a big part of that learning process. Thank you again, and here's hoping for this storm to pass quickly and for all of us to find comfort and healing in ourselves and our practice.

IVE DONE IT. I have now caught up and done EVERY SINGLE YOGA WITH ADRIENE VIDEO SHE'S EVER MADE

[anastasiabolshakova]

This is actually not worsening my lower back pain like most of the "core" stuff does. Seems like it makes it better!

This was tough, but such a nice wake up call! 🥰 Happy Monday everyone! Loved practising with you all!

[sonyamalinkapersson]

i am sometimes beyond amazed that you manage to talk while doing your yoga. ^^

2 months ago this was an intense 10 minutes for me. Today, I was able to do 2 rounds. 🤗 I’m very excited!

[heatherrenteria]

Felt soo good that I did it twice. Who’s is here since breath day 1? Today is day 122 😊

[RalfWeyer]

Adriene “nice and easy” moving with complete control and making it “look easy”, and than comes me looking like a bug on my back trying to get the movements done at all and missing both strength AND flexibility 😂. Got lots of work to do….

[Hakeke]

I really appreciate how back- and neck-friendly this practice is, while still providing a great core workout! Thank you Adriene. Namaste everyone. ❤🙏

[GraingerPage]

Wow! Full disclosure, I almost chose a different practice when I saw that today's was core. I am a mom of 8 and after having had my abdominal muscles stretched beyond recognition all of those times, core work is normally very disheartening to me. But I was able to complete this practice with little modification. What a boost! Thanks Adriene.

[amuckamuckamuck]

About three minutes in I switched to following Benji. Here’s to trying again tomorrow!!! Love the leggings, Adriene!

I'm immensely grateful to you, Adriene & Benji, thank you wholeheartedly for everything you've done for me, take good care and stay safe! >:D

[MimiTheHamster]

You are awesome Adriene, this is the only core workout I’ve been able to tolerate and completely finish and i feel so proud of myself. I have been having horrible ptsd and psychotic depression and your videos have helped me connect to my body again in a way I don’t think I ever have. I’m praying that this emotional pain heals and I can finally live a healthy life full of love and joy. Thank you love ❤️

[brieyiahcossette]

I remember when I first came across this video, thinking “man I’m probably not going to get through this” and being completely right.

But now, after sticking to integrating it into my daily practice, I can get through the entire video, no breaks, still some frustrated groans, but I get through it. It’s amazing to be able to realize progress. Thank you Adriene for your ability to instill positivity towards struggle ✨ so grateful.

Adriene YOU'RE A QUEEN we gotta protect this woman at ALL COST 😤😘

[jochew]

Glad that May is about core as mine needs strengthening! Thanks Adriene, Benji and everyone here for Trust 💞

[onlythebeginning-G]

I remember starting this a while ago and this felt sooo difficult, and then this morning I completed all in one go, didnt even realize it was over🥹Thank you, Adriene for a challenging and satisfying growth!🙏🏾

[jC-oedq]

Shoutout to the 1200 people I just practiced with 🙏🏽 This was perfect after my morning run, will be doing them together more this summer! Namaste! 🌻
