Yoga For When You Are Feeling Unmotivated | 20-Minute Home Yoga

For the voice inside that says you desire or need yoga but you just…can’t…get… your energy right to begin. I made this practice for those days.

And believe me, I know there are many.

This session begins with stabilizing and strengthening side-lying work. Then we will implement some of my favorite postures and breath for the spine, for the digestive organs, and for the nervous system. Start on empty; it’s okay!

This session was made to help change your energetic state while getting you moving in a forward direction. You got this. Yoga works. I am here to help! 

Let me know how this session goes for you in the comment section below! After all these years, I still enjoy connecting with you there, and I learn so much from you. Thank you.

6 March 2023 - This was a no brainer - when this came up top of the list I looked no further. And now it's done, reading everyone's comments, I've never felt closer to the YWA community all across the world. You rock all you other unmotivated people! See you tomorrow? Thank you, Adriene. Sending healing 💕

I had the worst week as I was on the verge of dissociating for a few days in a row, for some reason I decided to go back to some Yoga with Adrienne (I'm always on and off again). At the end of this practice I found myself crying, for the first time in the week I felt "real ", I felt grounded, and it was like meeting an old friend. So if you're struggling and by some chance find this comment, I see you, we see you. You're here. You're real. And I'm glad you're alive.❤

Finally completed this video after five days of trying! Unmotivated is an understatement. But I’m proud of myself.

The past weeks were hard for me. Life happens, right?! So, I told myself to keep showing up for my yoga practice, which I did. I'm getting there, slowly but surely. I needed this practice, I suppose I was asking for it. Thank you so much to remind me that I have control over my thoughts, my actions and my emotions, and that I can change my energetic state even when times seem to be working counterclockwise. Love and light to you and all the people in this community.

I had no intention of doing a 20 minute yoga practice and then it was like Adriene read my mind and knew I was not motivated :) Thank you for an amazing energy-restoring practice (and shout out to the 1200 people practising at the same time!)

16 March 2024 - Woohoo, made it to the mat today! I must admit I love the fact that you have catered for us unmotivated, Adriene, thank you! 💕 It makes it easier to get back into a habit of taking the time out of the day to practice. See you tomorrow x

I’m 26 years old and always thought yoga was “silly”. I’m recently battling an annoying dose of depression and anxiety, willing to try anything I googled yoga for anxiety and found one of your videos. I am now a believer. Thank you for helping me lock in for 20 minutes and forgetting about everything but me. I will be back daily.

I love you all 🖤

November 2023! Dealing with a C-PTSD flare up, trying to support myself with a daily YWA these last few weeks but wasn't even sure I'd make it out of bed today. After some doomscrolling and spinning out, decided to give it a go. I found this video and started it lying on my mattress under the covers -- by the end of it made it to the ground on the mat <3 thank you so so so much the safest space on YT & having our backs irl I'm sobbing

Thankyou Adrienne 🙂
I had been feeling a little sad after 2 of my friends moved to another city yesterday. I dropped them at the airport. While coming back I felt like my soul was splitting into pieces. I felt so much pain, sadness and anger too.
But I remember Adrienne advice that my breath always there to support me. I felt my breathe & allowed myself to feel all the pain of parting away. I also know that I feel too much & they might as well have moved on by now. But I don't wanna blame them. I think I am lucky to be emotionally sensitive & even though sometimes It's painful but I also feel the joy too very much.

Lots of love ❤️
Lots of friendships ❤❤

Adriene, you’re such a life changer! I’m well on the way into this month, making it ONE YEAR and three months of consistent daily practice, all thanks to you! This is coming from a notorious quitter and excuse maker. It’s leaking into every day life too. I’m committing and persevering with all sorts of things now, because yoga has given me the confident that I can handle anything! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into us 💕

This was perfect for me today 💝 My little 15 year old pup who is almost completely blind and deaf likes to lay at the top of my mat so he knows where I am. He was most confused by the toe tapping as he could feel the vibration but I think he liked it 💞

[prubble]

You have no idea how much I needed this today 😭🙏I've been crying my body out all day and started to spiral - talk about wringing out a rag! - I knew I needed to get moving on the mat but needed a gentle start. Perfect! I feel refreshed and more balanced in my emotions and energy. Thank you thank you thank you ❤

[camillebrooks]

Such a great cleanse. I love it. Thanks much Adriene and Benji. Love you. All the best to the yoga community. Blessings. ❤❤❤❤

Exhale day 19🎉 not unmotivated, but this was what I needed after a busy morning, to bring a bit of calm, but to keep movement going while having a bit of rest. Thank you, Adriene, for this practice, I loved it. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[simplyyyfab_u_lous_]

I felt really tired today due to jet lag- so this so happened to be exactly what I needed. Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[Lorrainium]

Exhale Day 19 and I'm not unmotivated, but I woke up to cramping. Pain is a motivator for me to yoga and this was just the slow introduction I needed today. Thank you!
