Yoga For Beginners - The Basics - Yoga With Adriene

This yoga practice is perfect for beginners but also nice for those looking for a slow and mindful back to basics class. Promote deep listening with the basics. Up your fitness practice and even your yoga workout by connecting or reconnecting to action and alignment. Get the most out of your time on your mat by connecting with your energy and awareness. Cultivate deep listening each time you show up on your mat. This practice is also great for yoga teachers or aspiring yoga teachers! Special thanks to my assistant on this one, thanks Benji!

Namaste.

I am sixty-four, diabetic, with heart disease, low blood pressure and I smoke. After getting clearance from my doctors, I started your lessons. In one month, I showed a remarkable amount of progress. I love that you incorporate mind, body and soul in your teachings. I smoke a lot less, I am off low pressure medication and I feel so much better. I tried other programs but I kept coming back to your videos. You are a godsend. Namaste.

Adriene - I started doing Yoga with your YouTube classes at the age of 66. I like it very much. Thank you Dave

I did this practice in March at the beginning of the lockdown and I barely could make any poses and I ended up completely destroyed. Today, after not having missed a single day since then in the mat, I finished everything without a problem. Progress is clear. So practice, practice, practice. Thank you for your help, Adriene and thanks to this wonderful community. 🙏

These beginner practices always get me! There's so much holding and just staying in the pose while you explain them, not the usual moving through. thanks for another humbling practice!

I acknowledge how awesome Benji is - Namaste

Excellent experience, I'm 70 years and really enjoying my first yoga experience. Thanks Adriene

I’ve only recently started practicing yoga with Adriene during this difficult time and as I’m a senior I’ve found the more gentle practices absolutely wonderful to help keep me flexible and mobile. More please. Sending Adriene peace and love and wishing you and your loved ones keep well and safe at this time.

[VidGameStory]

I really appreciate how you accommodate absolute beginners. I am so inflexible, I have been afraid to even start yoga, which is a weird catch-22, since I obviously need it. The fact that you understand this, and say so up front, makes a huge difference. Thank you!

[murielkc]

I'm close to 60 with MS and I come back to this and the other beginners practice time and time again. It's helped me get some of my strength back, and feel good about myself and my commitment to Yoga. It feeds me, mind body & soul. Namaste Adriene!

I've been doing yoga with Adrienne for 13 days now and I've never found any type of exercise enjoyable. Now I find myself doing yoga in the mornings and evenings and looking forward to it! Thanks so much Adrienne! Peace, love and happiness!

I just finished the video. I've never done yoga before and I'm really out of shape in general. There were many moments during the video in which I thought "I can't do this" and I had to take quick breaks when my body couldn't hold me anymore, or when my hands, wrists, toes etc hurt too much. There was a point in which I felt tears burning in my eyes because I felt so defeated and ashamed. But I kept pushing through. And I did it. And it felt SO GREAT. And at the end, during the prayer in the final position, I felt so full of light and love that I could feel the tears burning in my eyes again, but this time they were tears of happiness. Thank you Adriene, thank you. Namaste

I love that Benji is a part of this! He is precious

[lrssmr]

Even after doing yoga for a while it feels so good coming back to the basics. There's always so much more potential to grow

[brandimariee]

I’m recovering from 3 brain surgeries. This yoga practice is keeping me from needing physical therapy! And in the hospital, i could hear you in my head telling me that I was special. Thank you, Adriene

[mjwallyabc]

I know yoga isn't about perfection, yet these videos are perfect for getting acquainted with yoga practice!

[mdforbes]

After doing yoga with Adriene on a daily basis for 3 years, I love it when this video comes up in her monthly playlists. I have to say it is one of her best. I would even make it my welcome page video, since it exemplifies the essence and soul of yoga. You are one of the best teachers I have ever come across, thank you and thank Benji. I hope he got his yoga in as well. Namaste 🙏🏻

[ringisi]

It's good to renew upon the basics... slowing down, feeling the movement, Thank you.

[MiloMcLaughlin]

This is where I started. Now it’s where I start again 🙏

Man, I used this video years ago around 2013, and I worked my way up to the intermediate videos, combined those with weight lifting and cycling and became my healthiest happiest self. I fell in love, became a foodie, had kids, and stopped practicing. I’m here now shaking and struggling starting all over; but this video really brings me back to a time when I felt sure of myself. I’m not as sure anymore, might be age, might be life; but damn am I optimistic again. Working to get rid of pains, and gain stamina and flexibility again to give my kids the best version of myself. I’m sorry to say I let myself go, but I am happy to commit to starting again.
