This cooling and calming practice was created specifically to help relieve any accumulated tension. So hop on the mat, my friends! What do you say?

[ErinnCowell]

You need to sell soft shirts that say "Something Comfy".. ..to go along with your "hop into something comfy" saying!

Full-on nearly burst out into tears when Adriene said 'whenever you feel like you're going to die or not going to make it'. Love this lady with my whole heart <3

You have no idea how happy I am to bring myself on the mat today as its been 5 minutes since the internet was "freed" in Iran for the first time in a week . I was filled with anger, sadness, frustration and uncertainty and whether I'll be able to leave this place, and now I'm ready for the tears and all the tension to be released, this is my miracle of the day...I might have missed the last 7 days of the grateful plan but I am grateful to be doing this one in case the internet is banned again .your voice was with me though telling me to accept, let go and react differently, who knows, one day I might be able to not only join your program but actually do a practice behind you!so thank you Adriene . thank you much...

Today, I completed a year of doing Yoga With Adriene every day! Thank you so much, Adriene. My strength and balance have increased and I feel more resilient and grounded in my everyday life. I plan to continue - maybe one day my heels will touch the ground in Downward Dog! Thank you all, for such a supportive community, particularly in these strange times. xx

Finally broke free from all the stress and tension that I had literally hanging on me everywhere. And I didn't realize that a couple of deep breaths with Adriene and Benji could save me and my day. Thank You so much for posting this and doing what you love for us human beings! Namaste

Attract day 7🎉 thank you, for this practice Adriene, grateful for the tension release I needed it today. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[fluffyross]

That was most definitely what I needed today. As someone who suffers from Fibromyalgia, I know what it's like to have tension in the body. This practice really has helped me, to feel lighter and softer in my body today. I don't feel as bad as I did, before practice, now I feel calm, and at ease. Thank you so much Adriene, for this beautiful yoga practice today. I don't know how, you always know what I need, but you always do. Thank you. See you on the mat tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡

[MarketaNikerle]

I basically started to cry afterwards. I guess my tension is really away, thank you Adriene.

[MichelleReneeMusic]

I was directed to your channel via a medical professional who is helping me with anxiety. This is the third video I have done, and I want to say thank you so much! I'm amazed at the calm, the peace, and the release I feel. You are a gift to this Universe, and I am so thankful you share your knowledge and soul with us! Namaste, Adriene 🙏❤️

ATTRACT ⚡ | August 7, 2024 | So lovely to come back to this supportive practice, it's been over 2 years! As always a great reminder to return to the breath, and to be proactive about releasing that tension. 🙏

[kerrymelanie]

Just wanted to say... I'm a few weeks late trying this one because I've only been making about 10-15 minutes for yoga most days. I finally carved out the time for this one tonight and it was heavenly. Thank you, Adriene. 🙏
That said, Adriene has had a huge impact on my life ever since I first heard her say "A little goes a long way." This was a new concept to me, that even if you only put aside a few minutes every day for yoga, it can have a huge rippling effect. I used to be of the mindset that if I can't do at least 25-30 minutes it's a waste of time and not worth doing. Adriene made me realize this is wrong and I am so grateful. I guess I just wanted to let people know that yoga can change your life even if you only have a few minutes a day. Even 5 minutes matters. Just remembering to breathe matters! Thank you so much again. Adriene, for all that you do and for being you and leading so many people to a life of healing and hope. Namaste.

Adriene: breath to release the tension
Me: [screams]

[ConnieWardOfficial]

Just watching your dog laying so peacefully relieved my tension. 🙏🏾

[shadanzahrooni]

Wow! I just can't put this feeling I have into words, that is to say it feels amazing knowing that Adriene sensei somehow nails it with a video I need every single time. I can't thank you enough for being my go to guide, teacher, and friend whom I consider one that listens to me patiently; of course i'm not the only one who feels this way and I know it. My tight back will definitely thank me for this sweet, magical practice. Thank you for being in our lives and impacting them the way you do. Much love. Namaste.

"So if you feel like you're in an endpoint, start again with the breath" That is all we have to keep going in this present pandemic, totally agree, we have the breath of Life, which we thank God for use it in our favour. Thank you Adriene a wise Yogi you are ❤️ full of wisdom which keeps us focused, hopeful and reassured 🧘🏽‍♂️Namaste
