This is the first movement I did after 8 days of Covid-19 bed rest. I’m quarantined in my bedroom. I cried in the middle of the video; I was so happy to be breathing better again and moving my stiff body. This video was perfect. I Googled yoga breathing sick and your video was one of the ones listed first. Your instruction and sincerity was heavenly. Yoga is my new medicine. Thank you

9 years after this was posted and I'm still here for it. Thank you, Adriene, for all of your wonderful videos - and for helping me feel a bit better today.

I like the mantra "my body takes care of me and I take care of my body."

Also, yoga is magic!

I have covid and I'm isolating in a hotel by myself. This made me feel better and having you do the practice with me makes me feel less lonely <3

I love that no matter how I feel Adriene always seems to have a session that just fits perfectly

This video is 8 years old and still bringing folks comfort and movement in times of need ❤️ thank you for all you do Adriene!

I’m reading all of these comments of folks from a year ago, practicing while experiencing Covid, and I’m now using this video to help with post-vaccine symptoms. Impermanence is such a blessing.

My body was telling “I need yoga, neeeed”, but with this cold, a little bit of fever...
Then I thought, well Adriene thinks of everything...
And here you are! Rescuing the weekend ✨💖🌷
A nurtured, reenergized and full of love Namaste, my friends 😊🙏

I have an autoimmune disease and chronic fatigue and the yoga sessions of the last days are catching up with me today, but I made the commitment to do yoga everyday, so this is perfect for these down days :)

[rubenecampos]

Used to wake up and follow Adriene every morning for months. Then I fell off for months more. Got my positive COVID results a day ago. Time to check back in and start the day off feeling my best again.

Recovering from corona and my lungs felt much more open after this session - thank you!

Okay so I just need to take a moment to appreciate just how amazing Adriene really is. Today I was feeling achy and fatigued but I've set myself a goal of doing a Yoga with Adriene video every day. I made myself a playlist of all my favourite practices I keep returning to but today I knew I needed something different. I type in Yoga with Adriene for fatigue and find this video. And boy was it just what I needed! Adriene really has a video for every occasion. And today I'm really grateful for everything she does for us and this community. Not only is she hella motivating, but she's also gentle and acknowledges that our bodies are different and that we're all at different points in our journey. I can't tell you how many times I've been so grateful for her giving alternative postures in a video or telling us to be kind to ourselves because all bodies are different. On top of that, she's always so fun and goofy and following her videos gives me a space to express my inner child and just have fun, which is so important! Thank you Adriene for being the best teacher. Love to you and to this amazing yoga community you've created! <3

Doing this today on Day 4 of Covid. First day I feel like I can do anything besides moving from the bed, to the couch, then back to the bed again! Adriene, who knew when you posted this in 2014 that you would be supporting so many people during a pandemic!! Forever grateful for you.

You know you've discovered the importance of yoga when you want to practice even when you're sick! I love choosing which YWA practice I'm going to do the night before so I'm motivated to do it right when I wake up! ♥️

[longhairgreeneyes]

I think my cat likes the sound of your voice! He always comes to chill on my mat whenever I put on one of your videos.

Fighting the fear and sickness with this practice today.

[elleb]

I haven’t been sick in over 5 years. Have somehow avoided Covid, colds, flu, etc. —always chalked it up to my daily YWA! Whelp something got me; been testing negative for Covid but I’m on day 5 of some crud, so this practice was very needed. Felt inspired to Om three times at the end when Adriene invited us to a mantra. The vibrations helped clear my sinuses a bit and now I feel clear enough to mask up and venture to the store for some soup and juice. Loved seeing baby-faced Adriene in the OG house for this practice. ❤🙏 🕉️

You should make more like this! It could be an entire playlist. Helped me so much as I finally had strength after being sick.
