Note to future self: don't do this one again. It's two thirds random chatting and asanas are interrupted by constant talking, making it a very uneven, choppy experience. The only redeeming feature for me was the view of Benji looking through the window and his cute round buttocks. No offense intended here, I love Adriene's other classes that are more fluid and silent

I am loving this journey <3

<p>Beautiful. Thank you for this opportunity to share with us those nuggets of wisdom. It’s so evident in this session and it’s so good to observe and witness 💜 that you have always been this dedicated to what you are spreading worldwide: an honest to goodness love of Hatha Yoga. Your running commentary in each pose, hold, transitions are lovely reminders for me to latch on. There’s so much tender love and care here. You always have our backs. As you hold us safely as we surrender on the mat. For some good reason, my whole being latches onto your verbal cues…as I connect inwards with your friendly voice to guide me through to scan my body, notice how I feel, recognize when I am putting to much effort into the process I make me soften a bit or adjust…feel my way through the pose and the moments in-between. I have profited a lot by surrendering to your words as I grew my practice safely with eyes closed. I used your verbal cues to move me on the mat. It has been very effective in growing my practice. My mind remains quiet. Theres so much space to gather intel. And to learn. You create a picture and scenario for me to imagine how each movement will and would look or feel and how I can make the practice my own. That’s such a lovely way to sustain my practice. I am forever grateful. I so love the extensive opening sequence in this series. It really connects me to something deeply precious and integral to what we all share here. I am committing it all (or have committed everything) to memory. As we go through each pose (here) and as you go through the long list of what and hows…I was all smiles…those are the very same words and voice I hear when I need to focus more! So, thank you Adriene. You always bring me back to the essential part of our practice. You always give us grace. And I find myself having more bandwidth and gift it to others. So those cues, and embodying the roles of both the observer as well as being the observed has been a wonderful dance of sorts for me. That’s what I am seeking too. That’s why I practice more. I’m hugging my midline, and there’s that certainty, because you always plant those seeds every single time we come to the mat. </p><p>And as you evolve even further as a very efficient teacher, I am all the more open, willing and dedicated to grow my practice even more. Beyond the asanas. Thanks for making it so. My tree tonight was not as majestic as I have been used to of late, I massaged it with peppermint oil…I needed to give my feet some love…so I moved closer to the wall…and gave my special side grace by just raising my heel and grounding my toe while I feel light and upright as I looked up to the heavens. Thanks Adriene for your earnest dedication to your craft….i have benefitted so much from it. All those words of wisdom and loving care sprinkled all throughout this session, I see those as acts of love and compassion. I remember how welcoming those were! And it’s led me to take the invitation to “hop into something comfy and let’s get started…” consistently. Thank you for spreading your bright light, your love for Hatha Yoga and for bringing peace to my heart as I know you have my back each time I come to surrender in the mat. And it’s all connected. I have all those off the mat too. That’s why I practice. The journey continues…with a grateful heart 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙💜💙🩵💚 to all those who served us all well 11/11/25 </p>

<p>For some reason I've been avoiding my yoga practice. I am glad that I am here today. That is my win. Thank you so much.</p>

<p>This is such a beautiful practice - unbelievable! Thank you so much for observing &lt;3 Happy Wedding Anniversary @Adriene </p>

<p>So. Much. Talking. </p>

<p>Thank you🌸</p>

<p>My first time doing this practice! I’m glad that I took the invitation to take on the role of the Observer! This aligns with what I needed tonight! Thanks Adriene for this opportunity to safely take on and practice the roles of the Observer as well as the Observed. :) that was such a lovely experience! Creating space to not be reactive. And to always remember the breath is always there for me to guide me back to what matters most to me. And Listen intently. Stay curious. Notice. “See feelingly.” </p><p>I so needed a loving voice to hear at the end of the day to quiet and allow those other outside voices to recede in the background as I wind down for the night. This was a nice release! Your voice and friendly presence is a nice way for me to cut through the external noise or barriers and distractions off the mat! While you do your thing :) those cues, your pointers, nuggets of wisdom, reassurance, reminders were in full swing in this session, the more I connected to my audible breath and allow my heart’s song to rise up and propel me as I can fully surrender with eyes closed and know you have my back! This was an immersive practice for me. To let go. Allow you to guide me so I can fully “see feelingly!” Thank you! </p><p>I love sitting still with your friendly voice in the background! My mind recognizes your voice :) as a friend, so it stayed present and connected to my breath, noticing each movement and content to stay put, present and on board resting on each breath! :) Working inwards as my mind connects to my victorious breath, with your voice as my background soundscape :) was a delightful experience! I can always shift and modify my approach and settle into the practice, thank you! I Found What Felt Good! I was able to create space, observe, listen to my internal feeds - all is well! That’s a great takeaway. If I do take the time to always reconnect, my inner light shines forth, that which I have cultivated and nourished through my daily routines, is always there for me to tap into! Awesome! The choice is always - to come to practice. Breathe. Slow down. Feed my soul. Tend to my foundations. Movement is medicine. Slowing down is perfect for connecting the dots. It’s so good! No matter what the outside world is going through, I can find and connect to my inner joy. I am enough. I have the capacity to shape my own life experiences! I have choices that I can make to help me ride the wave. And maintain my balance. And ground in the present moment. Stay solid, strong, connected, present! I love you Adriene! This is an empowering session. I am so grateful I trusted the team! And whoever decided (for me) to put this in this month’s Turn-themed calendar today, Inlove you back! It’s a nice hidden gem! All your efforts are very much appreciated I heard Marnie’s cues in those side twists. I kept spiraling back to me! Safely! Delightful! It’s not just funky! That side (tri)angle looks great and feels so darn good too! I consider this a nice present too for sticking with it! Great Friday session! Good evening or afternoon or morning to everyone practicing. Peace, Light and Love to everyone. I am thankful for everything! 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 11/08/24</p>
