Flow - Day 13 - Ease

With yesterday's focus on stability in flow, today we continue with a heightened focus on ease. Day 13 is all about marrying action with presence and ease. A beautiful practice for life, if you ask me. 

Let me know how this one goes for you in the comments below!

Today we practice with a certain softness.
How are you feeling after today's Ease practice?

[ChaRgiron]

“Oh to be alive today!” This is a sneaky core workout. I love it. Thank you, Adriene.

Now, I get it. It's not about choosing to do easy things. It's about incorporating ease to the difficult ones. <3

Came for the mindfulness, left with six pack abs

I also laughed at how Adriene sneaked all that hard work into the theme of ease, but at the same time, it did make me feel differently about the work. I have found so much more compassion for myself through this practice and through everyone’s comments. Thank you, one and all.

Naming a core one ease, Adrienne keeping a good attitude and sense of humor

[luanabossetti]

I have to be honest, this has been the hardest one for me. I really struggled but I did my best today! 🌟

[LucyMSadler]

I definitely struggled to find ease throughout this one 😂But I'm proud of myself for being kind to myself and doing my best. We're nearly at the halfway mark folks! ✨

[Tiger_Lightning_Music]

I love the concept of finding ease within difficult moments, a reminder that you never have to lose your softness even in a hard world. Beautiful and challenging yet calming practice. ☺️

My daughter who is 3 joined me today. She did a few yoga poses but then rolled up her blanket and shouted Yoga! Over and over 🤣 and then ran circles around me the rest of the time. And at the very end she put her blanket over top of me ❤️

Today I wore socks and wished there wasn’t any downward facing dog and then half way through I wished there was, because my abs were killing me lol. I also laughed when Adriene said at the end “oh to be alive today” haha. Thank you Adriene, this is just what I needed today. To be reminded that I can do it, even if is hard, I just have to ease into it. Sending love and positivity to everyone practicing!!! ❤❤❤

My abs jùst stopped being sore from day 6 😂♥️ buuut it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Even after I fell asleep on the couch, I managed to do this practice. Sweet dreams everyone, especially to the 4000 yogis that joined me again today ♥️✨

☀️🎶Easy like a Sunday morning 🎶☀️
Happy day 13 everyone!!
I loved trying to find ease during a difficult practice today. It would have been a breeze to find ease in an easy practice but this challenged me in its opposition and I am grateful for it. Hope you all have a restful start to the new week❤

[janetlambert]

This is my third year doing Yoga with Adriene and Benji, And I still find core floor work painful trying to breathe in sync with my mind, body and spirit with softness in my face and jaws. I used to be able to do this with ease but my pelvic muscles and abs are not as strong after four children but it is really important to do these exercises as we age to feel stronger and flexible. Thank you from Australia. x

Today I was among the first 100 yogi friends to show up on the mat! 🎉 so proud of myself for continuing this journey. Thanks Adriene for everything you do and teach us ❤

[JustifyHero]

During Happy Baby my cat decided that it's perfect time to lay down on my chest 😂 She was very confused when I started doing crunches :) Happy Sunday everyone!

[sergiolenoo]

I've started late, with a broken heart... but here I am, "alive today". Thank you Adriene.

[_firstlight]

Phew! That was an unexpected start to the day! Glad I did it first thing in the morning so I wasn't quite awake yet. I am now 😂 Congrats y'all on day 13 … let's conquer the rest of the day with ease ❤

[RobertaA]

When we focus on the 'ease' rather than the 'doing', I find that I can move through the practice more gracefully. A great lesson to walk off the mat with... Thankyou, Adriene xxx

[SherriDavisPhotography]

Thank you Adriene. A lot of life lessons here as I head into what will most likely be the hardest week of my life to this point. It’s funny how our prayers get answered in the most unlikely of ways. I have been asking the Universe to help me to find a way through this difficult season of my life, and this morning I felt an answer through the layers of today’s practice.
