Home - Day 8 - Heal | 30 Days of Yoga

It is easy to spot and own our physical wounds. But our emotional wounds seldom get the attention they need for real healing. Innately we know, even if you don’t understand, that it’s all connected. Yet, we often feel we lack the time, space, and tools to sincerely tend to what ails. At-home yoga provides us an opportunity to heal ourselves. To seek and work to find a way to check-in, recover, restore, and begin again - each time we show up.

Today’s low to the ground moving meditation reminds you that your only task is to listen and respond.

And to be honest about it.

I hope you enjoy this session and find a moment to relax whatever might be gripping, to let go of that which is no longer serving you, and to Find What Feels Good.

Bring a blanket and a pillow, if you have them at hand.
Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!

It's Day 8 - don't hate - meditate! We've been working hard this past week and now we take a moment to heal and ask...what is one thing you can let go of that is no longer serving you?

[ninahohlfeld]

I really felt that "I love you", my whole heart blossomed. Thank you, Adriene. Day 8 is always my fav ! <3

Today, my older sister decided to sit in our garden and enjoy the sun while I was doing this yoga practice. She asked me if she could have my blanket and I could feel myself getting a bit annoyed. "Couldn't she have brought her own? Today of all days I remembered to get one for myself and now she wants to take it away", I thought. This happened just when you said "I'm gonna let Benji stay on the blankie" and I decided that you know what, I had a great start of the day, I don't really need the blanket and it would make my sister happy, so I gave it to her. It's the little things. You make me question my behaviour and my thoughts, Adriene, and I thank you for that.

This was a beautiful calming practice. As an Australian, I want to thank everyone around the world, for your solidarity, and kind words. 🙏🦘🌏💖

Good afternoon from Australia! I'm going to try this yoga practice before bed tonight to wind down. With all the bushfires over here at the moment I am finding such emotional comfort and healing in doing the 30 days of yoga with Adriene so thank you lovely lady. Fortunately myself and my family are safe from the fires but seeing what other people and our beautiful wildlife are going through is devastating. Please pray for lots of rain for us, thank you :)

[corhydron]

I was doing this practice laying next to my dog, kinda like Adriene is next to Benji, and around 20:00 he HELD MY HAND WITH HIS PAW.
A HIGHLIGHT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. I love my little doggo angel so much.

"Blanket yourself in love" - I didn't realise how much I needed to hear that. Really wonderful session yet again. Thank you!

[helanahernandez]

When I hugged myself I felt safe with myself for the first time in many years. I just want to say I am so grateful to this community, this channel, and most of all to Adriene. This journey is changing my life for the better. I never would have imagined crying tears of joy from hugging myself. Thank you for this magical experience.

[lizzygeorge]

Can we all just take a second to thank Adriene and Benji for salvaging our mental health during quarantine ?! Love you guys <3

[Arhartle]

Who knew so many people would come to this 30 day practice during this very bizarre time we're living in. I've always loved yoga with Adriene but never had a regular practice. Being quarantined and being welcomed home every day by you has given me routine and structure and and something to look forward to every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[sanches]

This is literally the only place of the internet you will only find loving and kind comments. I appreciate everyone for sharing your experiences! And we love you too, Adriene! :)

After heart wrenching evening of watching humans be tear gassed for nonviolent BLM protests. I desperately needed this. Thank you my friend and fellow good human. 💜

“THE MORE PEOPLE PRACTICING YOGA TOGETHER THE MORE HEALING” I SHOW UP BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP” - Adriene.
beautifully expressed.

[stephaniet]

“Blanket yourself in love”, “I show up because you show up”... powerful words. So comforting. Thank you.

[nicolelasswell]

When you had us blanket ourselves with love, I had my eyes closed and I could see all my guides and angels and they were putting a blanket of light on me and I could see it go into my heart and I was overwhelmed with love. It made me cry to feel so loved, to remember how loved we are ALL the time, without judgement. Thank you for your daily practice and for being yourself. You allow us to create the same safe and loving space for ourselves and bring so much love in and out. Namaste. Sending all the love and light to everyone. 💖🙏🏼

Adriene: "Take this moment to be still. I love you"
Me:
- gets suddenly emotional
- nose gets tickled by activated tear ducts
- starts sneezing/crying
- starts giggling when I'm supposed to be still 😂

Definitely the widest range of emotions I've gotten through in a minute of meditation! Thank you for this practise ❤

[poliijc]

The world is so broken right now, that having you around us, whispering "I lvoe you", bringing such a light, reminding us to breathe deep and having our backs it's the most amazing gift you can give. Thank you for taking us home. Thank you for being the light and love we need. All my love from Mexico.

[edgyjunecleaver]

Who knew we would need a series of yoga practices called: "Home" when these were first published last January? What an incredible gift these 25 minutes were! I supervise a group of nurses who work in telehealth and all of us are suffering from flagging resilience as we work with people in various stages of recovery from illness. This practice is perfect for us and I'm sharing it with them tomorrow. Namaste everyone (there were about 100 people practicing with me today. I love and honor every one of you.

When I started the journey 'Home', my intention was to 'tone my body', get flexible, and strong. I never knew that one can get mentally strong with yoga, that one can collect himself, become aware of who he is and fell in love with the treasure that is ourselves with yoga. I've gone through depression, a time where my thoughts were out of my control and were affecting my health. Constant dark thoughts and holding onto unhealthy memories caused stiff muscles and for weeks, I would get stuck in bed, unable to even move my arms. Everything would hurt. When I started this journey 'Home', I felt relaxed after each days practice, calm and motivated. I've done yoga before, about seven to eight times, for my stiff shoulders, and I cried once or twice after a good meditation. Tears would spill out of my eyes, disturbing my breath.


I cried again today. I've healed. I feel strong. I'm busy with life and happy. I've gone, from the constant overwhelmedness to sharp pain bringing panic attacks. From icy numbness to a lost feeling. I'm quite happy these days. I've grown stronger, but today, after doing this practice, I found a tear or two leak out of my eyes, and I felt hope deep inside. I healed again today, and I fell in love again. With myself. And you. Thank you so much for being utterly yourself, and for this journey home. My body, my mind, my heart, it all feels like 'Home' today.



Love from Pakistan.

That one was truly something special. At "blanket yourself in love" I actually felt something wash over me...toe to head and back again and this soft smile appeared on my lips. Something definitely shifted 💗💗💗
