Prana - Day 4

We start standing today in Tadasana, Mountain Pose. With a rooted awareness from foot to crown, our journey continues as we cultivate happy feet and happy joints with footwork and a mobility flow. This session reminds us of the infinite possibilities that arise when we take time for ourselves and true mind body practice. It also reminds us of the power of letting go.

This sweet practice is 23 minutes long and builds strength and resilience with an awareness of directional flows of energy in the body. This type of work can reveal when you tend to rush or be stuck in a certain need for speed, shall we say. Slow down your breath, slow down your body. There is no need to blast your nervous system for results you can see and feel.

Mantra: I am connected to all things with love and kindness.

Let me know how you are feeling in the comments. Great work everyone!

Your friend,
Adriene

Happy Day 4! Only 3 more to go! (Oh unless you have caught on to the bonus day 8 : )
The affirmation today is: I am connected to all things with love and kindness.

Don’t ever stop making these month long challenges or courses. This has helped me through my depression to show up everyday.

With every practice you create, you transform lives and help individuals find happiness and balance. Just wanted to let you know, Adriene. thanks alot :)

LOVED the dives! They were a new sensation for me, such fun. I also love the slower, more yin pace of this series, it is giving me time to really check in and think about what my body is doing and saying to me.

[lsaravinda]

So today I saw your article where you talk about needing time for yourself to rest, write, do other things. Thanks for all the videos you have made and please do take care of yourself. 
Also happy to report 4/4 days of yoga so far this year!

Feeling a bit down today. Feeling a little lost. Perhaps tides are turning in my life. This moment of practice helped me centre, and tune in to myself. It also shows me what my body is capable of now and in the future. Thank you for this series.

Adriene just casually drops a very powerful reminders is one of the small things in those videos that makes it so magical!
"we'll just be here for a brief moment, so allow the weight of your body to relax into the earth"
thank you Adriene for creating those special moments in time for us 💚 Namaste!

A Brit here (on my husband’s login 😊) practicing in our current home in Austria daily with you. Your authenticity and soul just shine so lovingly, I love my time with you, your words always hit right where I need them too. It’s rare I “trust” an internet presence and you just push out past the screen. Thank you for your beautiful videos.

Day 4 complete with my 8-year-old son! He’s seen me do the 30-day January series and other monthly practices for a few years now. I’m so excited that it’s his turn to want to join me on the mat. Such a beautiful way to connect and spend time together! Thank you Adriene x

Thank you so much! Once again, I could have rolled back over this morning but I got up and did it, a little sleepy, but I did it! 💪🏼
Beautiful sentiment, too. We are all connected with love and kindness! I’ll remember this throughout my day today. Lots of love, everyone! 🙏🏻💛

I’m so very thankful for these yoga practices, for Adriene and Benji and for this community of beautiful souls from around the world. 🙏❤

That was lovely. My legs are super weak and shaky, yet all the wibbly wobbles made me smile. They will grow stronger. Thank you for another day. 💛

[HeidiHisrich]

Thanks! I HATE working out, but your videos make me feel so good. I've been doing them for years off and on and really appreciate you.

"I am connected to all things with love and kindness" Thank you! 💕😊

this has been my favourite practice so far in this series. last year i made a commitment to myself to practice with you every single day at home - i did 359/366 days! i'm carrying that commitment with you forward into this new year, and i'm hoping for every year for the rest of my life! last year i felt a little more antsy to make sure i didn't miss any day (my longest streak was 174 days from jan 1-june 23!) as well as some struggles with starting out and gaining strength. this new year and new challenge feels different, and this prana series has let me relax fully and let the journey roll out itself, with no worrying or thinking needed. it's felt so natural so far and like you've said before, this is a time to move closer to myself and build my relationship with me. i thank you endlessly for the way you've transformed my life and the way i move through anything now by taking your grace and care that you've taught me along the way!

and to my community - i love y'all! i always read through comments before during the ad and then afterwards as well. i'm so proud of us for showing up! whether you're like me and trying to commit to daily practice or finding your way through your mental health and struggling to make it even one day, you're doing it regardless! let's make this an amazing year no matter how much you end up making it to the mat... take care of yourself and be proud for putting love aside for you. see you tomorrow!

[h.newhouse]

I’m doing these a day behind so I can yoga before work over here in France. It’s so wonderful to show up everyday and be nourished by this practice and feel surrounded by you all! Thank you so much Adriene!

[haazellee]

I want to thank everyone who shows up every day or even every other day to do these practices. It's what really brings me to show up for myself and the people I love.
