Adriene really helped me change my view about yoga, running and sports in general. I'm not a very sporty person, and I run slowly and not super far. In the past, I often heard things like "You only really get a benefit from running when you run for 30 minutes", "You have to run a little faster/further every time to improve", "You have to run at least 2 times a week" and so on. That discouraged me from running altogether. After many years of Yoga with Adriene, I finally started listening to me and my body. I don't have to set any goals. If I get out there and I'm too tired to run, it's fine to walk. If I slow down because I'm out of breath, it's fine. It's really all about me. Ever since I've got this mindset, I enjoy running. I love being outside and feeling my body. I'm so grateful to Adriene for changing my mindset on sports in general... it helped me out so much! ❤

I've done this video over 20 times, and "You're awesome, you ran today" makes me smile every time!!

In March 2014, I couldn't run a mile; in March 2015 I finished the LA Marathon. During training I did this routine after every run, and I was NEVER injured, and over 9 months of training I skipped only 2 days, and I believe 120% that Adriene's sequence is the reason. And I still use it after weight lifting, hikes, and bike rides to keep me free of muscle soreness. Thank you Adriene!

I’m a 74 year old new runner and cannot run without Adrienne’s warm up and cool down. All part of the process. Thank you!

Every time I want some sort of specific yoga I just type in Yoga With Adriene and I am always beyond gratified. Yoga for after running, when I am sad, when I am happy, for my period, when it is my birthday, bed time, morning time and the list never ends. Thank you so very much for your kindness and yoga, it is truly amazing how you can make everyone feel like you're giving a one on one yoga session through the interweb.

I love seeing these older sessions, because they're a reminder that Adriene has been giving good guidance from the beginning.

[MsVauDe]

Still doing this practice after every run :) just love it! Anyone else?

[peggyatprov]

It's lovely to know that we can come back to these videos whenever we need them...but it is pretty strange to come back so far that we don't see Benji!

[tiffanyperry]

I've finally grabbed my back ankle in the one legged pigeon! When I first saw that move I was like no way can I do that! I'm getting bendier!

[gillsmith]

Hey Adriene, this is my daily morning practice. Maybe I should have gone out for a run before this, but I am not a runner, just a senior yogi, so I had fun doing this and it was great for flexibility, super stretchy. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

[macLoscope]

I'm keeping this :
Rather than getting discouraged by things in Yoga you cannot do, I say smile, enjoy that you have something to work towards. You can return to the video again, return to the body, return to the mat and say "What's up? What's it gonna be today?"

Wow! this felt like 5 mn long when it was 18!! I truly enjoyed it thank you!

[JoanneKatzman]

Cultivate Day 27: I did not go running before this but I enjoyed the stretches.

[TheMangocherry]

I ran for the first time in ten years today and your “you’re awesome, you ran today”, really resonated with me. Thank you 😊

[standing_around]

I love how you always say exactly what I need to hear at any given moment! - soften the face, breathe into X. The language in general is very helpful too, shine/melt/draw energy from this or that body part.

[lauramann]

Im six years late to the party.... BUT WHAT A GREAT SEQUENCE. Adriene thank you. Adriene saved my back about 4 years ago, having never done yoga in my life to now doing yoga regularly, along with meditation and running.

[jadaveg]

I've been doing Adriene's free videos for awhile now. As a single mom with three kids and a limited budget, being able to do yoga at home without worrying about class fees OR babysitting fees saved my sanity and my body. This isn't remotely equal to what I've gotten from this channel, but it's time to at least offer my gratitude. Thanks, Adriene. You're a big part of the reason being 40 is fun!

[allisonn.]

I would love a new post-run sequence of about this length! You are awesome. 🙏

[cascrim]

I love the bit at the end where you said don't get discouraged, because it gives you something to look forward to. that really resonated with me, it's okay that I can't do everything yet, because that's what I'm working toward! thank you for all your high quality wonderful videos! <3

[astridlim]

Did this after running and it felt so good! I hope I can consistently do this cool down after my runs 😆 thanks Adriene for reminding me!
