Center - Day 9 - Corazón

Your Day 9 practice is a heart-centering practice. The journey progresses as we continue to add fresh vocabulary to our asana (physical poses) and breath, as well as go deeper into the philosophy of yoga. In this session, we consider the mat and our daily practice as a safe place to merge the conscious with the unconscious.

This yoga practice is one that invites you to move from the energy center of the heart.

Let me know how this session goes for you in the comment section below. I truly love hearing from you.

These sessions are such a gift, particularly when you imagine all the other people in the world practicing and centering themselves alongside you. What a beautiful image to begin the day! Thank you Adriene and team for building this community, and for the other yogis who left such inspiring comments.

Felt so unstable this morning. Cried my heart out before yoga. I'm 57 and have the feeling that I just don't fit in anymore. I am tired. I just want nature, tranquillity, peace. After corazón and reading through your lovely comments I feel better. Thank you Adriene, thanks everyone.

My dog, my cat and my partner all gathered round the living room to come watch me do today's practice. It was beautiful to whisper "I feel safe" with all this love surrounding me.

I always love scrolling through these comments and seeing how lovely and supportive all of us strangers are to onr another. I work from home and so even this little bit of community interaction is such a positive addition to my every day. I hope wherever you are, whatever you're going through that you get to enjoy these moments of healing and connection with your body.

23:32 "To the humble hearts club, to the wild hearts club, to the whole hearts club, love you guys." What a beautifully poetic way to close this practice, humble, wild, and whole 🙏 20 more days to go! If you're reading this, THANK YOU for continuing to show up with me! WE ARE STRONG 💪

I've tried to do the 30 day challenge every year for the past 5 years or so, and never made it. I don't know what's different this year, but I'm rocking it 🤣 Today my body felt a little tight and nothing was easy, but I pushed through and definitely am not giving up. Just needed to share that with all you beautiful people rocking it with me 😍

[donya]

Hey, my February 2024 friends. It’s great that you are here😌
See you tomorrow:)

[Penny_Nellie]

Saying the words "I am safe" out loud had a profound effect on me - something I was not expecting at all. As the words left my mouth my soul trembled and tears ran down my face in torrents. A really powerful experience. Thank you, beautiful Adriene x

[viancazavala]

I am behind a few days, but I am committed to finishing this challenge. School is getting busy but I'm showing up for my intention :). I hope everyone is finding love and healing <3.

Yay, it was a day with Namaste. I can’t explain why, but it makes me feel soft and seen when she ends the practice with that phrase. It’s like a mother’s kiss on the forehead ❤

I’ve been waiting for the first „Namaste“ of this journey and it felt SO nice❤ I do it everytime I’m on the mat. Recognizing the light in you, Benji, the community and the people in my life before I step off the mat is honestly one of the most wholesome things in my experience. Every single time, this feels like an „honest“ moment, if that makes sense to anybody. Love you, thank you for your work, it’s an honor to practice with you. ❤

I’m screenshotting my favorite pose from each day so in the end I’ll have a lovely customized practice for myself 😊 Just a tip for you fellow yogis out there! ❤️

[LaurenJadeW]

For anyone that is struggling..all today I was telling myself I would skip a day, I was ill and felt over whelmed. All day I told myself I couldn't possibly do it. Yet I made it to the mat, did 90% of the moves and feel sooo much better afterwards. My head is clear and I feel a lot better ☺️💫

[evasanner]

Thankyou Adriene and thankyou all for your loving comments. This is not only yoga, it is also peace work. Have a nice day everyone!

[lydiahrycko]

Having a hard time staying committed. Shoutout to all the late comers who are still here!

[deniz-osch]

Today's practice was so lovely. Whenever anything feels difficult I think of all the people around the world trying to do this with me. We all made it to the mat today, and I'm proud of all of us. My yoga family, I hope you all have a lovely day today and have your hearts filled with ease and love.❤

[amylamb]

Today was one of my favorite practices ever, it felt so relaxed yet strong and powerful at the same time. And then the mantra, I am safe. That threw me off at first. I wasn't expecting to tell myself that today I guess... and yet I found it so calming and reassuring. Thank you Adriene over the years you have seriously and literally changed my life. Much love to you and this entire community.

[thomasryan]

It was nice to know that despite doing this practice eight days late, 162 other people around the world were still doing it along with me <3

Holy guacamole my tummy is still tender from day 6 lol but did this one and loved it. So glad I can practic on the day with everyone else ❤️
Namaste everyone, happy day 9!!

[fisheyme]

I did not feel great today. The Corazon routine wasn’t hard (it just builds nicely off day 1-6) but it was hard for me to do. My feet were so sore and every time she said, “send your hips back, ” I thought, “ugh, I *hate* downward-facing dog.” My breathing wasn’t in sync, and I wasn’t in a good headspace, constantly getting distracted and frustrated even before leaving the puppy pose, but I pushed through. It was not my best practice, but I did it. There is something empowering about that.
