Im ready less talking. Ive been practicing with you for 2 years and love this program but im finding myself irritated with all of the talking. Do you have a more silent series for us who are ready?

<p>Tomorrow marks one year since I experienced an ssri induced manic episode that led to my bipolar II diagnosis. I am just feeling very alone. I wanted to put that out there to this community, which I normally do not do, because I know I can at least get some love. I've been practicing yoga almost every day since I was 15, and I'm 32 now. Yoga has been my rock through a very very difficult internal life. My mother in law this past May, 3 days before my birthday and 1 week before my second mother's day, sent me a long chain message via text with giant capital letters on the top and bottom screaming "yoga is literally demonic." She is very conservative catholic (we are also catholic, I have a deep love for my faith). It hurt me to the core. My husband said it was stupid and not to even respond and that he'd have a talk with his mom again soon about her comments. 4 days I stewed and hurt in silence, and then I asked him if he'd talked with his mom yet. He said, what for? He had no plans. He had no idea of my hurt. So he said I could respond if it matters so much, and oh, did I respond. I'm a writer, as you can see, and I had so much pent up hurt I came back with. Texts and texts of hurt, and then I exited the conversation and have not returned. I've blocked her, have not spoken to her since. It's hurt a lot but the silence and distance has also begun to heal my open wounds. My mother in law, husband, AND brother in law (who I had a similar text blow up with after he said some incredibly offensive and low blow things about baptizing my son and my motherhood) still talk about me blowing up. They go back and forth on who is right or wrong or should do what. My husband has told me about at least 8 hours of these long conversations. I physically cannot engage in it. My diagnosis gives me medical confirmation I can't. Yoga and meditation helps me actually do it, to let go of control, stop trying to explain myself and defend myself, and just accept that I can disengage and do what I need for me. </p><p></p><p>That was a long way of saying, thank you community for listening. Thank you for practicing with me. Thank you for teaching me to love myself, be with myself, let go, feel my body, know myself, be at peace. Thank you, thank you. And especially thank you to Adriene. Because, homegirl! You have no idea the friend you've been to me during my happiest and saddest times. Love you 🩷</p>

<p>I did this yoga. And the I was crying throughout. I was thinking and realized that I’m having a date night for myself rthis Saturday and that when I told everyone that I am getting divorced, they said good. Can you believe that? I wanted to have a full blown crying session but I couldn’t cuz I live in a studio apartment style, sized house with mg parents and they were right there. What triggered this emotion was when Adriene told us told to hold our own hands. And it made think of those countless time I held his hand, and I realized that maybe he left me because my life wasn’t worth sharing in the first place, and that the last eight years we’ve been together was all a lie. I told myself that this is a new chapter in my life but couldn’t stop thinking of how everyone practically congratulated me on my divorce.</p><p>This whole experience has reminded me that yoga, breathing, and Adriene are few of the things that will help me get thru this trying time in my life. Namaste.</p><p></p>

Thank you! Adrien where are your shorts from? Theyre fabulous !

Today I woke up to a video of my new born grand daughter Norah ❣️welcome to this world. Already love you infinitely ❤️🥰 So this practice was perfect. Thank you Adriene, Benji and the whole team 🙏🏻🇨🇦🥰

I was a little afraid to do this practice alone and with a heavy, troubled heart.. But it was so beautiful and fun! It really just brought me closer to myself &lt;3

I just did this tonight with my hubby, who introduced me to yoga. t done!

Oh my goodness, that was truly beautiful. I didn't expect that. I cried in the first moment of stillness and cried really hard at the end. I needed this. I am just now, at 49, learning to love myself and it is a process. Thank you, Adriene.❤🙏

I really need to figure out some modifications for downward dog and plank. Even table top (depending on what comes next) is hurting my upper right arm - it's not the shoulder but a muscle that comes down the very top of the arm from the shoulder. It hurts - is that a deltoid? Help! The MOVE series did me in about halfway into it.

<p>So um...what are the chances of a reprint of this sweatshirt Adriene?? I have been searching the interwebs for a couple of years and had no luck yet! 😭 </p>
