Dedicate - Day 1 - Discern

Welcome to your Day 1 Dedicate practice! This full length yoga session invites you to take the necessary time to drop in and focus on essential vocabulary that you will take with you for the whole 30 days. Set the tone for your journey as we DISCERN or recognize your reason for showing up.

The hardest part is showing up. This loving, informative and foundational practice will ease you in nicely.

We are doing this!

Day 1 is HERE!!
You did it. You showed up.
Give yourself a pack on the back, my friend. Or a big bear hug. Or both!
What is your reason for DEDICATING this time to yourself?

[yvonnesommer]

A year ago I was having severe ptsd, couldn't leave home, couldn't talk to people, i was anxious from every little voice around me, I was lost in my life and I've found your channel, for almost everyday since then i've found someone to tell me that I'm worth the love, my family never cared about much that happened to me, i was rolling my mat everyday and crying while doing yoga, since then I've found my passion in playing music, found a sick stray cat and took care for her and she's great now, her name is luna btw, went out in the world again, cured my ocds with mindfulness that you introduced me to, here l am In the new year still crying on my mat forever grateful for your existence.

Anyone else finished home and back here to keep the momentum going?

My Mom passed away on Day 2 - horrible day - upon returning home I got on the mat and made it through the practice feeling emotional, supported and grateful. Thank you Adriene.

I was so intimidated by the 49 minute time stamp, but I convinced myself to do the practice and I'm so glad I did. I always feel so at peace after I practice with you, Adrienne. Thank you!

[nickywatkins]

I'm genuinely a bit tearful that there are so many others around the world going on this journey with me. Thank you so much for sharing your positivity and kindness - it gives me hope for the world. I struggled with today's practice, but it was so heartening to know so many people had my back. I am sending out lots and lots of love and compassion to you all. Namaste <3

After finishing 30 days of HOME yoga, I started DEDICATE today. Is anyone else doing it?

Update 3/5/20- started TRUE this month again as I missed few classes last month. What is everybody else doing?

[senseless_silence]

I was intimidated at first when I saw this was 50 minutes long but did it anyway and it definitely was worth it. Thank you from Finland. See you tomorrow!

[maddymacrae]

When I came up from the first forward fold, a thought instantly popped into my head, "I'm awake". I've been asleep for the past couple of months, not taking care of myself, my soul properly. I didn't even realise how tight my muscles had become until this practice, at the start they were almost pulsing and vibrating with tension. But now, the first inklings of release are occurring and I feel like myself again. Thank you, I can't wait for the next thirty days and beyond.

[LeSamSamm]

Starting this after I finished "Home" - my next goal is 120 days of yoga. If I can do 30 days, I can do 120, and if I can do 120, I can keep this daily practice for life. Hopefully. Wish me luck guys! Namaste :)

Hello friends from all over the world. I am so honoured that I can go on this journey with all of you that are on a different stage of life. Let's keep doing this together. I have had such rough past few years financially, physically, and mentally, as I lost my goal, had to leave my job, had to leave the country I had lived for 8 years due to unavoidable situation, and also got a lot of physical disorders/symptoms that require several medications, so I started feeling hopeless and deeply depressed, stopped physical activities, stopped doing yoga, stopped searching for a job, just chose to be stuck in my room for days without interacting with anybody, however, I choose to rise again, this year, 2019, I choose to be hopeful, I choose to tend to myself, thank you for helping me get out of my own pit shining my dark path Adrienne! Day 1 checked in! It feels so right and I feel so relieved and encouraged that there are lots of us walking on this yoga journey together!

❤️❤️❤️
Namaste to everyone around the world.

We are all one beautiful soul on our collective yoga mats!

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the lovely content as always, Adriene. ✨

I love how deceptively easy this practice appeared on the surface because, while the poses were fairly ‘basic, ’ I was shocked at how much the intensity can increase when focusing more on the alignment and the breath simultaneously. I also found myself not checking the time throughout (which is a big thing for me because I can be quite an impatient person) but this also led me to focus more on the practice and I was SHAKING in all fours for the first time in my memory. Thank you Adriene. x

[HI-pzyg]

Dear Adrienne, I love your style. It’s better than trauma-informed yoga sessions I’ve had in the past. I have cptsd and anxiety attacks and have always avoided doing yoga because it always triggers me, but your style is really loving, gentle & healing that I feel safe to allow whatever comes up. Brought tears to my eyes. I’m forever grateful to you. Namaste 🙏🏻

I started doing Yoga with you 2 years ago now, but this is my first time following the 30 days of Yoga live, and I'm so happy to do this. This year is a pretty special one for me, it's already my fourth month living abroad and only now I'm starting to get back to have a routine, to get back what was part of me and in between those things there is Yoga too.
From the exact time I came to China I felt like there was no time to dedicate to myself, no space since I live in a little room with another person, no will to give myself a pause. But then I realized that rushing that much not to lose the time here, I was loosing me, my body, and my mind. And this is not right, you can not build anything if you don't have a strong base that keep you up. And so today I choose, I choose to get back to the origins, to me and to find what it feels good, because one hour is not that much, because even in a 5 meters of room you can find space if you want. So thank you as always Adriene, for being here, for what you do. Because even when I am 8000 kilometers away from "home", I can feel like home doing yoga, cause the real home is just when my mind is at ease and I am one with my body and mind.
Namaste <3

[MissSophiestication]

Do you do this too? I note how many views there are when I start the practice and after I finish, I refresh the page and I see how many people did it with me! Within those 50 min, 14 906 people saw this :) So this was actually the biggest yoga class I ever attended from the privacy of my bedroom. Blessings to you Adriene from Poland <3

[littlepeanut]

just "completed" day 1. I have to say I wasn't able to do everything and I had to skip a few things and take breaks in between. But I tried my best and I am proud that I gave it a go ! See you tomorrow <3

[anastasijakryvonosova]

I love reading a few comments after the video. I can´t believe I am a part of such a strong community. <3 Thank you Adrienne for connecting us all.
