Don't know if anyone sees these comments anymore, but I was finally able to hold this pose today and so proud of myself! Wanted to share with people who'd get it. Love Adriene's videos!

Who absolutely loves the cosy corner by the window with pillows and amazing view?

I'm absolutely in love with this nice soft sweet beautiful voice!

[veronicazepeda]

I love you! You have great energy, and offer many variations of each pose so that the integrity isn't compromised. I love this focus. It's not a competition with others or yourself. It is about being where we are and taking ourselves to that threshold. Practice and it comes! Thank you. Keep on doin what you’re doin girl!!

[DanaBoyleLaPointe]

I loved how this showed me how to keep the spine lengthened and aligned, and how to come into the pose balanced and hips in the right direction, modified and not necessarily 180 degrees. Thank you.

Gracefully and grandly… A League of Their Own!

[mackenzieb]

You're an inspiration, warrior lady! Thank you!

[barbaragould]

It's about being FIERCE but GRACEFUL! ..ty for explaining this Adrienne 😊❤

[sprgotin]

Adriene thank you for the love and transforming energy which you put out there through your videos! I was trying at yoga for a few years before your videos made me see inward and really cherish the practice! Much love from London

[socialworker]

I love how you break down yoga poses it is extremely helpful and appreciated!

[SChappellaz]

Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly. Again your humour is great!

[nadeanazri]

Hi Adriene! I have been fancy this pose and now I can do it gracefully! so happy with my progress ! :) Love, your Yogi xoxo

[rossbonilla]

Adriene, another great lesson. I have a problem with my balance on one leg and tend to wobble. It is more pronounced on one side. Love the practices that you offer here. Being self conscious these private sessions are perfect for me. Thank you again for all the Wisdom you share. Aloha.

A League of Their Own! That was also my favorite quote when I was a young lass! 

[jessicackcheung]

Thank you so much Adriene!! Your yogi spirit is really inspiring! It makes me forgive a lot about my "non-perfection" while practice. Thank you so much for this! And I hope you will come up with a yoga sequence for strong leg:) 

[janetownley]

Wow, I just figured out a way to do Warrior 3 that challenges me AND feels good. I had only seen examples with all limbs at exactly 90 or 180 degrees, and I can only do that while gasping for breath! But with a wee modification or two, I can do it and keep practicing. Yay! Thanks Adriene!

[snjezanak]

I find this pose very challenging for the leg which is holding my weight, also I have a problem with levelling my hips, not only in this pose but in warrior 1 and 2..I plan to persist because it has been a month now, since I stared watching you Adrienne and exactly the same amount of time has passed since I have started practicing yoga, and it helped centre me, and focus on what’s important in this hectic and stressful time in my life. Since I was a child I had problems with recurring pain in my legs, the pain shifts from the hip to the ankle and usually it takes resting and good night sleep or painkillers to stop hurting but recently I had an idea to practice yoga when I felt pain and only 20 min of yoga took the pain away, and I was just so focused on doing yoga that I did not feel the pain during the practice, and when I was done it was just gone, not reduced, but completely gone, like magic:)..I think the runners lunges helped a lot, I used to hate them but since you explained them so well, and how you can move in the pose and not be rigid it transformed them, now I quite enjoy them, so I want to thank you Adrienne for all the effort and love you put in your videos, thank you from my heart. (sorry for my bed use of English:), , many hugs and kisses from Croatia!

Hi friend! Long time no see 🤗 Doing some foundations practice with you tonight to see if I've been doing Warrior 3 correctly. So happy that thing you said about feeling like flying through the air when you practice it often. It feels just like that now, but I try to remember not to get lazy with practice and take it for granted because there were many days I couldn't do it before. Namaste 🙏

[racheldompierre]

Wonderful Adrienne! Lovely sense of humour. Thank you for your wisdom :-)
