Center - Day 30 - Return

Here we are, at the end of the journey. For our final CENTER session - I invite you to practice alongside me, and thousands of others in the same moment in a new way. What does that mean? It means, you won’t follow my verbal instruction today, nor should you feel the need to match my moves. *You are the leader today. I am your friend practicing at my own pace alongside.

This session is different - and yet, in my mind, the perfect way to seal our journey.

Use the vocabulary you have to show up, to shift, to root, to flow and find a big hug.

Use this session to listen, to rinse, unwind, stretch, be kind. Enjoy the opportunity to connect to your heart, your corazón.

Find your gaze, cultivate play, explore and restore!

And with pleasure, find freedom, melt, move and align with what matters most..

The goal of this session is not for our practice to match - but for us to celebrate our connectedness through our individuality and truth.

Set the intention to return to center.
That is what this journey is all about.

I find that this is the day to remember…

In every end is a new beginning.

And it has never been more true. This series was an unfolding, a revealing, and an opportunity to commit to daily self-exploration. I hope you have discovered, uncovered, and leaned in deeply to your precious self. I hope your body is alive, your breath - a song, and your heart at peace.

Thank you so much for showing up and sharing this unique and incredible experience of our time with me.

I love hearing from you in the comments, thank you for sharing below!

Let’s keep going!

I don’t know why, but I cried at the end. I didn’t expect to get so emotional. I’m so proud of everyone for making it through to say 30 and honoring our commitment to ourselves!

Prior to this, I had been unable to do almost any sports for two years due to my health issues. For some reason this New Year I wanted to give it a try though I was almost certain I couldn’t do it for one day. I remember I wept for joy on the first day as I could complete the lesson without problems. And here I still am, with you guys. It’s a miracle for me. Each morning I have combined yoga and _Steps to Knowledge - The Book of Inner Knowing_ practices (meditation) and it’s been a real recipe for me for a new beginning. Thank you Adriene for giving me something of immense value. I have a way forward now ❤

Finally finished today! To anyone who is finishing “late” please know you are not late. Trust your timing, we are building discipline and healthy habits

Thank you so much everyone. What an incredibly beautiful experience. Love to you all xxx

Well. I tend to get emotional at the end of these 30 Days, but today I am full waterworks. From start to end the tears flowed as I flowed. I get a bit lost without Adriene’s guidance so I mostly followed her movement, but when i did happen to veer into a move that I felt I needed, I was reassured to see Adriene was moving that way too. We’re all connected after this month of work. I’ve been in a very low mental and emotional place for several months; I’ve felt so lonely and often even invisible. Showing up to practice every morning with Adriene, and the beautiful community she has built, helped bring me back to life. Gave me purpose and showed me something GOOD to focus on. I am so grateful. I’m lucky to be alive and in this body and to feel connected to strangers around the world.
I held my heart at the end and pushed out as much love as possible. I send you all so much love.

the first 10 min during the practice I was crying then worked hard through till the end when I started crying again. I am proud of myself and all of you who accomplished this 30 days yoga. I big thank you to Andriene to guide us though and build our strength more.. This 30 days made a big impact in my life. Thank you Adriene and Benji. Namaste!

[brenthehen]

just completed today's practice, making it my 60th day in a row of making it to the mat every single day so far this year. i too never really expected i would cry at the end of a practice, but they started as soon as i sat down and came again at the full surrender at the end. yoga has changed my life, and finally after following this channel for years i am doing myself a favour and starting to love myself and make it to the mat for myself every single day. two years ago i was in the throes of a mental health crisis and was really struggling to find a purpose to keep going. and though i'm still growing and working on myself every day, yoga has become a reason for me. the community, the strength i'm gaining, the way i bring what i learn here into every day life, and the internal transformation i'm feeling has become beyond meaningful to me. i can't ever thank adriene enough for creating all of this, and the immense impact she has on millions in people in truly life changing ways. thank you, adriene, today and for the rest of my life! and thank you to benji too of course, who always makes me smile.

[lemursnuggles]

Glad to know there are others crying with me. I'm not really sure yet what this journey means to me or where it will take me (other than to more YWA), but I do feel changed, empowered, encouraged, determined. This was my first challenge and it has been amazing, am feeling very accomplished and refreshed. Sending lots of love out to you all. 💖

Greetings fellow yogis! We did it! Today was a special practice for me. I started doing yoga with Adriene's Revolution in January 2017. I remember when that last day of the journey came around, and I had no clue what I was doing without Adriene's voice guiding me. And each year that has passed, I've gotten a little less uncomfortable with the self-guided practice. Today was the first time when I wasn't really paying attention to the video at all. Every once in a while, I would look up and weirdly Adriene and I were doing the same sequence, or Adriene was doing something I had just done. I can't articulate properly how magical this experience was for me, to know that I am already my highest self. I hope everyone has a lovely day today, and I hope to see you all next month for Align in 2023! Much love to everyone reading this comment and doing this practice today. 💖🌠

[Raphah_Raysa]

Wow, Day 30. We did it everyone! I got a little emotional when coming onto the mat today. This journey has been so special for me and I’m so glad we were all together through it. My first was ‘Home’ and I have loved being part of these practices, ever since. I look forward to continuing practice and cultivating this time for myself. Can’t thank you enough Adriene, Benji and everyone here. Hope to see you on the mat again soon ♥️

[alinemonteiro]

It seems that crying is the last posture of all. What a journey! I fell in love with myself again. Thank you for your work, Adriene! ♥️

[nfleurs]

Thank you all! 😢 What a beautiful practice for day 30! Way to persevere, everyone!

[miloandceecee]

Anyone else feel emotional at the end?? What a beautiful way to conclude this journey. Thanks Adriene 🌞

[lucianaduplancic]

Thank you all so much!! Im gonna miss these daily videos and reading the comments. It made me feel really loved and not alone. This community truly is something else. Today is my 357th day of daily practice and I'm excited to finally reach a year in week! I couldn't have done it without the support of this lovely community and of course Adriene. Thank you so much for everything! We couldn't have asked for a better guide ❤ Hope to meet again like this next January🙏 Greetings from Croatia!

[marywells]

I'm late, but for me, that was the whole reason for doing this journey. I wasn't aiming for thirty days straight, I was aiming for thirty days — no pressure. And I did it!

Thank you so, so much Adriene. You and this journey have been such a blessing, and I'm so honoured to have practiced beside you.
And thank you to everybody else, it has been such a comfort knowing you were along for the journey too. Well done!

Namaste 🤍

[MsSmurflover]

We did it! Last year for various reasons it took me till the 31st December to complete the 30 day challenge. This year I haven't missed a single day and it has felt like a breeze, thank you Adriene and Benji, and thank you to everyone who has practiced with me, let's keep going! P.S. the predictive text on my phone changed Adriene to 'A friend' and I thought that was so appropriate :)

[miamoose]

Who's crying with me?
I don't even know why. This is not the first time I do a day 30 with Adriene. Maybe for bringing me back to me, my center. Maybe because I am so grateful for Adriene's existence in my life. Maybe because for a moment my faith in myself and the bigger picture is restored.
Thank you Adriene. Thank you team. And thank you for the beautiful music this year.
<3 I love you

[manonb_]

WE DID IT ! I'm so proud of you all and so proud of myself for keeping up with this amazing challenge. Was sobbing at the end ! THANK YOU ADRIENNE FOR THIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, we LOVE you !

I finished my 30 day journey today. I started it the 1st of January this year, but had the roughest year and dropped out at day 26. I felt like a failure. In October I started Center again from day one and wished to commit for a whole month, but failed then, too. Today I finally finished the journey.

I lost my "Benji" this year, too. Her name was Ava. She was the sweetest gal, 13 years old and had a beautiful life. I do miss her.

I can't wait to start a new, better year. Can't wait to Flow with you tomorrow once again. Can't wait to return to myself. Namaste.
