Hi everyone! Im from Ukraine and I’ve been incredibly stressed out for a while (obviously), but I didn’t realise that the tension was not only in my mind, but in my body as well. I hoined the meditation Nobember yesterday and I physically couldn’t relax enough even to close my eyes. I didnt trust the moment, I had this animal fear that if I closed my eyes for a moment, I’d miss some danger. By the end of the practice, I could relax my shoulders. Today I felt better, less tension, more of the “here and now” feeling. Im definitely going to continue the journey…thank you, thank you, thank you 💙💛

Great practice for my 100th consecutive day of yoga! Namaste! 🙏🏻🧘‍♀️

"One we can control is our thoughts" -- this bothered me, especially as someone with OCD. This isn't scientifically true. Most of the population has intrusive thoughts that they can't control. We can control our ATTENTION - which thoughts we decide to feed and which we let pass by. But the human brain has unexpected, unwanted, and sometimes weird thoughts all the time. I think this differentiation in language is super important. Loved the practice otherwise, that shoulder stretch is amazing.

First time I've cried during yoga. I experienced more emotional shift in this practice than in any of my (actually very good) counselling sessions. Truly understanding what it means to not go so hard on myself now. Thank you with all my heart 💖

I went into this practice not expecting anything out of it, but found a key missing in my life. I always push, crank and go way too hard on myself, on and off the mat. I observed glimpses of sukha when my default has been to be hard and destructive for so long, expecting that 'pushing' to be able to lead me to what I need, when what I really need is ahimsa, to myself. Softness for my own soul. ❤️ I've been so concerned about kindness to others I've forgot to nurture myself with the same kindness. I'll make this a regular practice to come back to, over and over again, to bring back that compassion to myself. 🌷 Thank you, this was a turning point for me.

Wonderful!

Just what I needed today!

Really struggled to let go in this practice got to the end and thought 'well I wasn't very good at being present' don't know if I'm just tired or what 😔 I love yoga with Adriene and I've found it so helpful today feel like I failed her today as I didn't get what I was supposed to out of the practice 😕 it's silly right?

That was excellent! I've always believed in free flow and Adrianne youve mastered it. "Horsey lips' certainly brought a smile to the little girl in me ❣️

I don’t recommend this practise if you have lower back issues
