Hi everyone! It's DAY 3 - OBSERVE! This workshop style session is full of GEMS for practice & life. Be patient. Use this time to practice breathing deep and dropping in. Your role is to reside with the breath and observe, no matter what. The practices pick up as we go along. So take advantage of this class time now. (And breathe!)

Love you,
Adriene

Thanks to anyone starting today with me. I’m so lonely it’s killing me, so these yoga videos are my community. I have no yogi friends, so thank you guys for being my friend.

Feeling a bit off-balance today in every way. Thank you, Adriene, for helping me to find my way.

[MrPinky]

Thank you for helping me to breathe in and find the strength to stand tall like a mountain. After suffering the Himalayan beat down of the election, I needed this strengthening and lengthening. Adriene knows best.

I love you Adriene, and how you teach yoga. You have helped me so much in my life, there aren't enough words to describe how much you've helped me. I have been doing yoga daily with you for, one year 361 days, and I feel so amazing. Amazing in my body that is so much more flexible, and forgiving then it used to be, and in my mind that I feel can cope, with the stresses of life a little better now. So a big thank you from me. I really loved this practice today, and I feel really good after doing it. I hope everyone else practicing alongside me, feel as good as I do right now. ❤ see you all again tomorrow, have a great day everyone. Namaste. 🙏💜🧡

This was such a beautiful practice. I love the balancing postures... it helps me to see where my focus is. Thankyou, Adriene xxx

I feel gratitude for Benji - he's the most amazing sidekick

[jenchristensen]

I struggled today but I take strength from knowing that thousands of people are sharing this experience and I am not alone.

"Learn to love yourself through the fall" made me unexpectedly choke up and cry. This year I am going to be softer with myself and offer love and support through my mistakes. I am human and this is wonderful. Thank you from Colorado Adriene- I really needed to hear this today.

So incredible to think that this series is 2 years old, and still on this particular day there are 11 people doing this yoga session exactly at the same time! How incredible to know there are always people somewhere around the world practicing together <3

TURN 💞 | November 8, 2024 | I always love coming back to Dedicate, my first 30 Days of Yoga experience with Adriene. The concept of the energy loop, flowing up the front and down the back, forever changed my posture. This practice is a beautiful one! 🙏

[frankiesimmons]

As someone who's sliiiightly more experienced in their yoga practice, and who also practices more intense workouts for cross-training, these first three days have been so weirdly challenging for me! Reminding myself to stay intentional, to breathe, to notice, and to find value in things being a little slower, having a little more ease...it's something I didn't know I needed. So different from the shaking and sweating that I've come to love, and equally beautiful. Thank you for the new perspective and the challenge!

[marcgrim]

“Love yourself through the fall!” Powerful words! Thank you!!

I failed a lot today. I started with a bad attitude and was only noticing my belly fat, thinking about all the things I have to get done today, etc. My muscles were weak and I am simply very out of shape this winter. There were multiple times I had to go to child's pose or mountain pose for a break. It's easy to feel like a failure because of that. BUT I still went through to the end. In the past as soon as I'm unable to do a pose or 2, I quit the video and say "I'll try another day". But guess what? I don't come back the next day then.
It's important to remember that it's not about doing everything perfectly but what is an improvement for yourself. Even though I felt like I was "lazy and couldn't discipline myself enough to finish poses", I did stay to the end of the video, and my muscles are shaking which means I DID work hard. Don't compare yourself to others, your body is at a different place and you just might not be able to hold a pose at this point - that is NOT giving up. What's giving up is not showing up again tomorrow because of that. If you feel it in your muscles afterward, if you feel mentally clearer afterward, even if you still feel like crap but completed the video, you did not waste your time. You will come back tomorrow, and you will gradually improve. This is only the beginning, and like Adrienne says, the most important thing is to keep showing up.

The reason I love Adriene so much is because she doesn’t take herself too seriously, I always find myself laughing at the dumb things like “smearing the substance” lol heyo

[shadanzahrooni]

I'm beginning to see the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Dang i've got a feeling this is gonna be intense. First discerning and recognizing then building a foundation and now is to observe to see what we're missing, and if there are still any negative thoughts lurking around. I feel the spiritual vibe in this practice and have already surrendered by cultivating a little ocean breath. Thanks for the fabulous practice. Way to go observers.

[tamarablokker-hondsmerk]

Phew that was unexpectedly intense. I feel the warmth in my legs and lower back. Great practice! Turn 2024 day 8 done! Ready for the rest of my day. Have a good one y’all!

[FreyaHatfield]

Turn day 8🎉 thank you, Adriene, this was the perfect Friday practice after a hot early morning walk on the beach. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻
