Sometimes I put a little peppermint oil or lavender oil on my mat or on a tissue and then head into this pose. A simple step to a little aromatherapy in asana. So yummy!

Hi Adriene, I know these vids are old but I just started yoga and wanted to take a moment to thank you for the well explained poses and how at times you may have trouble with a pose when first starting. So with all that said Thank You

[katherine]

Thank you, for being such a nice and lovely person! I love practising yoga with you, it's one of the best part of the day! xoxo

Thank you so much for this. I started as a total beginner, full of hesitation- but your voice your attitude your humour and all these detailed clear explanations - made it truly possible for me. You are the best!!!

I put my business up here - so it is your business! ;-) I just had surgery to have what we thought was a cyst but turned out to be a polyp removed from my right vocal cord. I am on the mend & on lots of drugs- which my body is handling-well, ok. Its been a struggle!. But I am happy and grateful and positive. I am still treating the GERD but the doc thinks it was a combination to create the perfect storm. The polyp most likely came from over use & vocal strain. Aka-working with a hoarse voice.

God bless you, Adrienne. Thank you for all that you’ve given us. This clip is a literal Godsend for me.

Hii Adriene 👋 This week was a yoga journey for me. I packed one of my mats and took off to class with each of the different instructors at my gym this week. I love home practice, but I also remember that part of the reason why I started home practice was to heal enough of my anxiety and self to get back into the world. So as uncomfortable as I was initially, I reminded myself that "if I want something I haven't had before, I need to do things I haven't done before." I had these irrational thoughts of yoga classes before even going, but after this week I can say it was really rewarding!

I made some new friends, and really vibed with one of the instructors. Everyone had their own style and pace, and thankfully with your help for the past two months, I was able to do really well. 🙏

I didn't hit all the poses, but I didn't judge myself for them and that was a huge shift in my mindset. The last class I took this week, the teacher enjoyed a faster paced (vinyasa?) practice, and I fell on my butt when I was squatting because my legs were sooo done. Lol.

I feel like I'll be doing this often in newer classes, and this guide is probably as good as asking an instructor in real life. The advice on the external rotation of the shoulders in this pose is really helpful. I'm excited to see how my yoga journey will unfold this year.

I hope many people start taking what they learn from you and try branching off and making yoga their own because as you always say, "take up space." Usually you refer to it on the yoga mat, but I've been extending it to my real life.

Anyway thanks for always reading my essays! I'm beginning to feel like I made a yoga pen pal in Texas who I write to almost every day; and it's really cool to see in your older videos the comments you leave, so that I don't feel as self-conscious about posting so often, because I see you posting often too. Maybe us only children love talking a lot. Lol. Going to check out corpse pose tutorial and then call it a night. Namaste 🙏

Definitely my favourite, it relaxes me a lot and gives chance to meditate. 🧘‍♀️

Namaste Adriene! I have been doing Yoga since my school days.... but watching you I have become an avid learner of Yoga again. Stay Blessed!
