There is a season turn turn turn. </span></em></p><p><span>Tune in to your November member’s vlog as we discuss this month’s community theme and contemplation. I’m sharing a tid bit or two from the heart this season, while holding big gratitude for our community and for the practice of living our yoga. </span></p><p><span>This is a wonderful time of year to move like the seasons, welcoming safe space for shift and change by making time for turning inward. Whether that is daily yoga, a morning meditation, a walk, morning pages, an extra couple minutes in the shower - it all counts! This month’s theme really is all about taking time to check in and do a little internal weather report each day. <br><br>Note: This vlog was filmed prior to the US election day - I make note of it at the top of the video. <br><br>A time to gain, a time to lose</span></p><p><span>A time to rain, a time of sow</span></p><p><span>A time for love, a time for hate</span></p><p><span>A time for peace, I swear it's not too late<br><br>With Love, </span></p><p><span>Adriene<br><br>Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali <br>Sutra read was 2.34<br>Chapter 2, verse 34: Choosing not to engage in negative and violent thoughts, emotions or actions at any level prevents never ending pain, imbalance and suffering. </span></p></div>

<p>Hi Adrian, thank you for your thoughts this Month.</p><p>I’m currently studying a 200hr TT course after many years of wanting to study yoga in more depth. </p><p>I’ve taken the plunge at the age of 67 with the thought that I can be of service to others of my age in someway. </p><p>I’m blessed with a wonderful yoga teacher and a small group of lovely students but I sometimes become so nervous of the thought of directing a class my negativity overwhelms me. Interestingly there’s a surge from my belly of positivity that cuts right through it most of the time. </p><p>I know I’ll get to the finish but wish my mind would let me just enjoy the ride, It’s a fight all the way. </p><p>My honesty has made me feel uncomfortable but I’m also feeling the strength. </p><p>Thank you dearest Adrian 🙏 x </p>

<p>I am a positive person and strive towards unity. But something broke with this U.S. election. My thoughts are very negative I don't know how to get back to a positive place-to who I am. I have lost faith in our country and its citizens. For now I will come to the yoga mat. And breath. And surround myself with my like-minded friends and family. It's very hard.</p>

<p>Thank you, Adriene 💜</p><p>I know it's a difficult time for some Americans just now with a turn that they didn't want, sorry for that. I hope this community will help you find kindness and calmness at this difficult time.</p><p>Where I live, Botswana, we had amazing elections and a completely new president and Parliament and we're very excited; a massive turn. In my personal life I have a big turn in that I'm off to learn how to do stained glass next week. Hoping to add glass art to my creative toolbox. </p><p>So once again, Adriene, your theme is absolutely perfect 😊</p><p>Get well soon Benji!💗💗💗💗</p>

<p>Adriene - Yesterday was such a blur - from tears washing my soul, from burying my head in the covers, to avoiding media of any kind. And then I realized who I am and who my community of sisters are and my awakened and loving brothers. I chose to get up, shower, shine and as I did - into my arms ran my 18 yr old great niece, crying and shaking and afraid of the future. At that moment I turned into my Mother, comforting her with "we will get through this, and so many others have fought the fight before us, and now it is our turn." We must not break because of this, we must believe in those of like kind to manifest. I had a zoom class where the Canadian teacher outstretched his arms and invited us "Americans" to become refugees as we were welcome. I had friends call and comfort as well as listen. I sank and rose so many times and now today, even though this was recorded earlier - your words comforted and embraced. Turn indeed - turn toward the Sutras, turn towards Love, turn inward 🤗</p>

<p>Good Morning Adriene,</p><p>I've been following you for about 10years now and absolutely LOVE you and your spirit. During all this time I haven't posted on this blog but I wanted to share my thoughts today. Your theme this month was truly inspired and today was actually the first time I've logged on for awhile. </p><p>I have been admitted into a PHP (partial hospitalization program) for an eating disorder and specifically for body dysmorphia. I've been gong for the past four months and have been unpacking a lot of trauma in the process. I have an AMAZING team at the clinic and we work everyday on skills and methods of "TURNING" inward and finding our true core self. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. There is so much hurt and distrust inside that it scares me to do this. </p><p>I am in tears right now after listening to your thoughts and loving words. It's exactly what I needed to hear and I am actually feeling that this is something I am going to be able to do. </p><p>THANK YOU❤️</p>

<p>Hi Adriene and fellow friends, </p><p></p><p>Yeah. This week’s been hard. I work in a healthcare/mental health care industry, and something I heard today in a continuing education workshop was “Let no one rush you to your resilience too soon.” That has really stuck with me. I’ve had moments of relief and being grateful for the simple things since Tuesday despite the events not going the way I’d hoped, but overall, I’ve felt clouded, disappointed, and sorrowful. But I think that’s okay. I think I needed to hear that I am not obligated to rush to my resilience until I am ready. And this does not mean we allow ourselves to become complacent - it just means we move from a place of sustainability rather than desperation. Which I think is a lesson you’ve always cultivated on the mat, Adriene. Anyway. My current thoughts. Sending love and support out to everyone in need of it. 🩵</p>

<p>I'm turning towards community, action, resistance, love, compassion and most importantly, solidarity. From the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people here in Southern Australia I want to let those impacted by the election results know that many of us here who hold values of fairness, unity and equality stand with you, always, as we too fight for a better and more loving world 🧡✊</p>

<p>Thank you Adriene for your kind guidance and thoughtful words.  YWA has saved me this past year as I struggled with cancer treatments and surgery.  It has given me a daily routine for body healing and meditation to calm my "monkey mind" as you say.  Bless you for sharing the gift of yoga with our community. ❤️ Rae</p>

<p>Hi Adrian, I have to say that Yoga with Adriene has been life changing for me. I am 64 years young; I feel like yoga is a positive supplement that I need and actually ache for every day.  My morning ritual gets me started on the right path. I have been struggling this past year watching my best friend since high school slowly leave me with dementia and Alzheimer's.  I do not understand who draws the short straw here on this earth with this disease as there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to its victims. Tara, my friend, my star in Sanskrit, has given me so much in my life. Even with distance and time between us our hearts have always been one.  So, as I live through this emotional period, I take some time for myself every morning with my supplement of yoga. You make me sweat, think, laugh and feel in these sessions.  I have done other yoga's before you, but you give me "freedom in the flow," as you say. Thank you for this supplement that is keeping me healthy. Sending Love!</p>

<p>I don’t usually read all the comments, but I was curious about the red mark on Adriene’s chair. It looked like a drop of blood, but she never mentioned it and as far as I can tell nobody in the comments mentioned it either. Was it a reused prop from a halloween episode? Did someone get hurt? Whomever knows, please satisfy my curiosity.</p>
