Hi Adriene, Sarah and the FWFG community,
I am a newish member. My husband actually bought me the membership for my birthday in December and gave it to me a week early so that I could do the Chakra series. Unfortunately, on December 21, my husband suffered a major stroke at 43 years old. It was not his time, thank God, and he is here almost 6 months later continuing to recover. Showing up on the mat everyday has been hard, I'm not going to lie. There are days when I can't, but I haven't missed one practice. I do need to double up sometimes, but I can't imagine getting thru this huge life change without this awesome community! During the week of evening and rest sessions a couple of months ago, my 6 1/2 year old son and I would do both the YWA and FWFG practices so that we could unwind and sleep. My husband has even tried some of the more gentle breathing sessions with me. I just want to say thank you for helping me navigate this new phase of my life. I was really inspired by the vlog when you read the passage from Light Watkins about what opportunities can come from a situation that is bad if you think about it positively instead of negatively. I have been telling my husband that since December 23, my birthday, when I was finally able to speak to him after he had life saving surgery the night before. So much of what we do here in yoga and in the community, whether it is from the vlog, supporting our friends in India, supporting our Asian family, discussing our book club books, or supporting each other during our daily discussions, has made such an impact on me and helped me get through my days. So thank you Adriene, Sarah and all of this wonderful community. You have been such a big part of our recovery and I just wanted to let you all know that.

Thank you for these words of kind introspection that resonate so much with my experience and that of almost everyone around me. Maybe it be the pandemic or just time passing, we're all uncovering so much and cheering each other along our own personal paths. We send you and everyone in this beautiful community all the love we receive.

I am listening to this on 1st of July but needed this today. Lately havent been regular to the practice, grieving for the loss of a loved one has been a painful process. I really needed this today. Having just done the 1st July practice, i am committing to regularly doing the practice in July. I hope this community can help me hold myself to the commitment.

thank you for your human honesty...healing time because ofcourse you are human too!
It us funny how often times these yoga themes goes parallel with what happens in my acupuncture practice. After 2020-2021 taking care of people, felt like exhaling and giving all the time, which was very important and good to do.
now the balance is shifting to more inhaling for me as well. which is very welcome. and i can see in the practice, a lot of people feel the same way.
Like Joan Halifax once said to Brene Brown: nobody exhales all the time...we need to inhale to be able to exhale.
So yes! expansion and contraction. Love this inspiring moment at the beginning of the month. Namaste ***

Thank you for continuing to finish what you started - this sanctuary for people all over the world. You are yogi and sage and comedian and down home woman. I'm so pleased to see you taking time to fill your cup. You give so much, Adriene. By doing so, you inspire all of us to give, as well. Many gratitudes for being exactly who you are. 🌺🌺🌺

As usual your words, Adriene, resound amazingly with me.
Two weeks ago I left my job of two years at a retirement community, which was a very rewarding job through the pandemic lockdown, but which left me in desperate need of time to “rest and restore”. So I am in complete accord with everything said in this VLOG.
I’m sure I am not alone in supporting the idea of YWA taking a sabbatical. There is a lifetime’s worth of material available to sustain us, if it’s possible for you and your team to just take some extended time to... really dance, hike, stomp that metaphorical sh*t into the place where it can begin the nurturing cycle again.
With eternal gratitude for the support you have provided, Kate
