<p>I’ve always loved the Olympics.</p><p><br></p><p>I was in the womb during the 1984 Summer Olympics (age revealed!!!) and have always been in total awe of the Olympic games.</p><p><br></p><p>Winter. Summer. I love you both.</p><p><br></p><p>I love you both and can settle in for hours watching, following – loving every minute of it.</p><p><br></p><p>My Dad recently told me that he recorded a lot of the 84’ Olympics for me on VHS and that I watched them as a kid. Ha!</p><p><br></p><p>I have gathered round to watch events with pals every four years.</p><p><br></p><p>What will go wrong? What will go right? Oh the joy! The drama! The athleticism! The bravery! The blasphemy! The love.</p><p><br></p><p>I am known among my circle of friends for having opening ceremony parties. We even made a little gold medal for Blue (RIP) one year.</p><p><br></p><p>I just love it.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, do I know that there are things wrong with the Olympics?</p><p><br></p><p>Yes, I do.</p><p><br></p><p>But on one base level – I’m just sharing a part of me with you. I love the event, it’s global energy and the connect it stirs around the world.</p><p><br></p><p>So, when jokes about my attendance in RIO became an invitation – to – make – that – a – reality.</p><p><br></p><p>I said YES.</p><p><br></p><p>Adidas has invited me as an influencer to attend the games for one week and share my experience with my friends, YOU.</p><p><br></p><p>I chose week one.</p><p><br></p><p>This will be the first trip I have taken all year in which I am not teaching or leading, but rather, playing and exploring solely.</p><p><br></p><p>And you can bet your bottom dollar I am taking you with me.</p><p><br></p><p>I invite you to follow me on IG, Twitter and Facebook for photos and videos capturing the experience.</p><p><br></p><p>Support my dream of getting to the Olympics by liking the photos!</p><p><br></p><p>I’ll be using the hashtag #FWFGRIO to document the journey.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s going to be an adventure.</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s remember to be kind to one another as we navigate our way through all the confusion and darkness – back towards our true light.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s there.</p><p><br></p><p>Burning.</p>

New member as of this year and just found this! I am a Carioca (someone from Rio) transplanted to Minnesota almost 40 yrs ago, and now a citizen of the world. I love your gift of yoga to so many, I admire you as an entreprenure, and I just adore you and your classes which hel me find what feels good. So it was a super super super treat to see you in Rio. And to know I was there as well for part of the Olympic games! I did not know about yoga with Adrienne then.

Yay Rio! I wanted something short &amp; fun to watch, and it was really sweet to find this. I did an exchange in Brazil in high school, and I love Brazil. :) &lt;3 It's also so sweet to feel your genuine connection with the Olympics. It makes me feel joy in them, too. :)
