Power Yoga - with Adriene

Power Yoga with Adriene features one full class called "HEART" from our Empower Yoga Series that we shot in the hot Texas summer!

It's sunny, it's sweaty and it is perfect for those trapped in by snow. Also just a challenging work out for those who don't like the gym or anyone needing that extra push to move it and groove it. HEART aims to get the heart rate up and invites you to sweat and get the blood pumping. A practice that invites you to open your mind and heart to new things. This "Power Yoga" sequence provides a full-body experience to connect you to your spirit, burn calories, and work it out. Connect you to your breath and get the blood pumping! This is my version of "Cardio Yoga" without all the frantic fitness frenzy!

Though this practice is swift, I encourage you to move at your own pace and listen to your body. Allow the vinyasa to move with ease and take your time growing this practice. This vinyasa fusion focuses on toning and building strength in the lower back body. Connect your feet to the earth as you build strength in the legs, the glutes, and connect to your core to support lower back health.

I invite you to arrive on the mat for this practice with an open mind and HEART.

Here are some Foundational Videos that might assist you as you practice HEART 1:

Im a plus size girl who’s working towards not being plus size . I remember I could to this easily when I was 150 now my 250 body is struggling . But I did this yesterday and I’m doing it again today . Taken 1 brake at 20 minutes and I’m going right back. The goal is to do this and other videos everyday for a year . Will report back next year . Thank you again Adrienne for making me feel beautiful strong and mindful . ❤

Good morning, it is 9:47 A.M. here in Indiana, and I am quite a newbie. At around 25 minutes, I wanted to give up. But, I am proud that I kept on with the other half of the video. Nothing for me was perfect, but I kept at it. I am so proud of myself. This will be a great video for me to do annually just to check how far along the yoga journey I would go. What was tough and challenging, turned out to be a motivation.

I woke up this morning and started to dread once I saw the title and the length of the video. Against my lesser urges, I made it to the mat and resolved to commit to the video. I always have trouble with balancing postures and there’s NO way I was doing a handstand, but I sweat and felt strong and smiled throughout. I’m glad I met the challenge and met my edge, and have a stronger resolve to make it to the mat tomorrow.

This was akin to doing Yoga on speed😅. Adrienne went so fast, which made it difficult to concentrate on the breathing but simultaneously it was really rewarding to be able to keep up. Loved it.

[fionadent]

Wow, that was one full-on practice! No room for mind-wandering or intrusive thoughts today!

[priscilagalvao]

This was everything I didn't know I needed today.
Incidentally it is cold where I am and I've been away from the mat this past days, coming back today🎉 Had that morning "I really just want to stay in bed where it is warm" vibe.
I was already and hour an a half behind schedule but decided that I needed to do this for myself today and it was so worth it!
I feel ready to tackle the day ahead.
Thank you so much for everything, Adriene!
You, your team, Benji and this community are awesome!
🙏🏻💖🌈

I almost thought about quitting a third of the way through.... but I paused the video, drank some water, let my heart rate go down a little bit and kept on going!!

[jenniferm.]

I did this workout today and wow, it knocked my socks off! It took a while to adjust to the quicker pace, but in the end I was surprised with how well I could keep up. Haven't had such a good sweat in a while! Was also able to touch my heels to the ground in downward dog for the first time today, so I'm celebrating the small accomplishment :)

I've been doing a variety of your videos over the past two months after a significant break from yoga (and exercise in general) and am already feeling so much stronger and more flexible. Thanks, Adriene! xo

[megancruz]

It’s 4am here in Houston Texas . I’m taking a short brake at 20 minutes because I’m feeling a bit dizzy, feeling motivated reading the comments so I’ll finish my practice now . Love to everyone namaste ❤

Did not expect to start crying at the end. Huge emotional release. Thank you Adriene

Today is my birthday and I am 21 years old. I was thinking for a week about a practice that I could be doing today and I was always thought that this is the right practice to celebrate my birthday with and I am super glad I did not doubt myself about my choice. My heart can never describe how my heart is feeling right now, it's warm and beautiful that at some point I am ready to take myself on a solo date, buy myself a cake and just go to my fav museum or fav bookshop or even fav café and treat myself the right way it should be. I am grateful for all the yoga practices that I have been doing for a year and half and I can't wait to make it 10 years or 20 even. I just want to give myself this moment and remind myself that I am also loved, even if it was by no one, at least I have my family and myself (I have been experiencing toxic opinions from people, telling me to not be proud of myself as much as it should be or I am just rude because I get to say no to things which results to people hate me) but all I can think of that is my nature and I am not here to please people but to harmonize my soul and heal from my past wounds. and yeah, Happy birthday to me <3

I was dreading this practice to show up in Adriene's yoga calendar, 'cause I remember how this was a torture to me back in July 2019 Power but it turns out that with regular practice, I was surprised that I made it. Thank you so much Adrienne! Namaste! 🙏🧘💖

[mariahlemelle]

Adriene, this is one of my favorite practices. I've been doing daily yoga with you for a couple of years now and this is my first time doing this specific video. Not only did it work my body out but it also helped my mind immensely. I shed a lot of sweat and in the final resting pose some tears. I can't thank you enough for these inspiring life-changing videos. You are incredible. Namaste.

[ioannisyiannipappas]

Thank you as always for your guidance, patience, and love Adriene ❤️❤️❤️. Namastè

I did a 30 day yoga challenge to break myself back into power yoga. Today was day one for the power yoga, and I’m ready to 'power' through this playlist. Thank you for providing yoga for us all.

[emmarutherford]

Thank you, Adriene for sharing this free class! The Russian weather has done its trick of giving us two weeks of glorious Spring weather without a drop of snow in sight before plunging us overnight back into the last vestiges of full winter. I love Power Yoga even though I haven't had a consistent practice since the 30 Day Challenge because of my high intensity workouts paired with dance. I got a sweat going here for sure and I felt so calm and open at the same time. I love what yoga does for my body and soul. You're the best, Adriene! xxx

[beththompson]

Adriene, I can't explain how incredible this was! It was super challenging and sweaty, yet I found myself present throughout, focusing on my breath the whole time & clearing my mind of negativity. I started doing your at home videos in January 2019 & this is for me is the first video that I felt every bit of my practice come together and I was a true yogi. Thank you so much. Namaste 🧘🏼‍♀️❤️

[karakelly]

Love this yoga video and this whole channel really. I started practicing yoga with these videos after I got out of nursing school a few months ago after I realized that I really didn't want to pursue nursing as a career. I did these videos to help clear my mind to find what I really want to do, WHICH HAS HELPED A LOT. I was also looking for some good cardio videos as I'll be getting married soon, and as poor newlyweds we won't have a home treadmill or anything and I wanted to do something good for my heart. This video really got the heart pumping, and I'll certainly be coming back to this one. I love how this channel is more about the art of yoga rather than about the fitness frenzy like a lot of other people tends to focus on. My goal as I practiced this video was awareness, and I certainly became more aware of my movements and breathe during this one, though I had to take a break half-way through to rehydrate because I was sweating so much (which is a great improvement in this chilly weather). Anyway, love your videos. Keep up the good work!

[stevecarolpietryk]

All of your videos are helping my husband and I through this challenging time. We control what we can control and that includes our response and attitude AND doing your yoga videos 4 times a week. Thank you Adrienne for helping to bring calm to this turbulent time,

[matildahughes]

Can we pls have more videos like this? It is such a great intensity and time!
