Center - Day 20 - Restore

This 17-minute low-to-the ground practice is a perfectly timed restorative session.
It is short, it is so very sweet, and it offers a chance for you to ease in and out of practice no matter how your day or your life is going on right now.

Bring a blanket and or a pillow to the mat today if you have them. No worries if not.

Let me know how today’s session goes in the comment section below!

The journey continues. Today is all about giving yourself this time and space to practice moving from one present moment to the next. And that is it.

Just what I needed today. I need to be restored. I lost my mom 1 year ago today... 17 days after my dad died (thank you to all in this group who gave me support on that day!). To say 2022 was the worst year of my life is truly an understatement. I will celebrate mom today, cry a lot, have a glass of her favorite wine 🥰, and then get on living now that the year of "1sts" is over (1st birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc.). So very thankful for this practice, my body, and this community. 🙏

What a calming practice and while on the mat, at the end, I was thinking this journey is flying by way too fast. I really don’t want it to end. I’ve been on many journeys each January and this one is becoming one of my favorites. 🙏🧘‍♀️

I just need my phone, my mat, and YWA to have a healthy body and fresh mind, anywhere on earth. Life is so sweet, so simple, so meaningful. And Adriene taught me that. Thank you Adriene, you are my hero ❤

Today I invited my 8 year old daughter to join me, and she loved it! We had a beautiful time slowing down with this practice. Have a great weekend everyone!☺

“I am enough”
I whisper, as I gently float off my mat…
Love you, Adriene, for the time you release me from my daily grind …thank you for coming into my life
❤ 🙏🏼

[kathymorgan]

When Adriene says “this is it” meaning the end of the practice, I was thinking Sometimes getting off the mat is one of the hardest things to do each day! But now we get to live it!!! Pay all these good feelings forward!!!❤

This was particularly beautiful. I've realised I neglect these slower, kinder restorative practices in favour of the more 'exercise driven' ones. But this made me feel so good that I'm going to be conscious of changing that for the future. Thank you Adrienne and Namaste to all 💕

[begonaf]

Beautiful session!!! Gracias, dulce Adriene 😊. Anyone else wondering if today's gentle practice is because tomorrow's "Strength" is going to be a killer?😂 Have a great Saturday everyone. Sending lots of happy thoughts xx

Dear, Adriene and community,

Thank you for holding me today. I have cried so many tears of relief over the course of this journey, my body continuously thanking me for this time and showing up. I turn 26 tomorrow, and this practice was a beautiful reminder of my youth but also how fleeting it is, and how important it is for me to take this time to slow down and care. I love you, all, see you tomorrow ❤

What a lovely restorative practice ! Tip to any of my yoga friends with tight hips or low back who find reclined Cobbler’s pose uncomfortable: use cushions or blocks to support your thighs or knees, wherever feels most comfy. Props are your friend! Thank you everyone who practised with me today 🥰

After going climbing yesterday for the first time in 14 months and waking up feeling sore all over, this was the perfect recovery session! Thank you Adriene! Namaste all

[RafinhaMariaC]

I've come to realize I hold a lot of trauma in my body, so every time I have a yoga practice that is based on stretching my body just feels afloat. Thanks Adrienne, this was a beautiful Saturday practice! I am a yoggie!! Cant believe that =D

[Jondread]

Part of me always wants to make the "absolute most" out of my time on the mat, I'm the type who always wants to get on to the next thing on the to-do list, but practicing in this way, especially first thing in the morning really helps me to remember to slow down and relish in the present moment rather than trying to get what it is that I "think I need".

[squipledsquipled]

Happy 2024 gang, I’ve been a bit rundown so happy for the chill one today

[kimara]

I had a very tough depressive day. I could barely get out of bed or do much. I cried often. I chose to let this practice be the last thing I do before bed tonight. I thought of Adrienes constant reminders to show up despite everything. I feel nurtured and hugged after this. Thank you Adriene for doing this work and helping people in endless ways. I am grateful. May your light shine bright and your cup always be full ✨

[EarthOrNothing]

I took a long break from this series and came back where I just so happen to be on the restore episode. Just what I needed and it made me feel like I'm exactly where I need to be in my journey

[melaniemarshallmusic]

Practicing at the end of my day, moving into the crescent moon shape felt just right. I sensed that calming moon energy for the rest of the session. Thank you for another beautiful practice.

[camillebrooks]

Good morning my yoga family. Such a wonderful practice. Each morning something fresh and new. Tapping into our core areas. I'm so honored to be apart of this yoga family. Blessings Adriene you're really touching and changing life's. This is a real transformation for me. Love everyone, catch you tomorrow morning on our yoga mat. ❤

[MandyM]

I struggled to the mat this morning but thought about the hardest part is just showing up and then when I heard it was a restorative low to the mat practice I literally exhaled with relief! You can tell Adriene has been doing this for years because I really needed this type of practice today.
