I am super psyched to be part of this amazing community. I received a year's subscription to this membership site as a Christmas gift from my husband last year as he knows I'm a huge fan. I was wondering if I can get some help from any of you lovely people. I am trying to find a good quality non slip yoga mat to practice on since I do 2 practices every day (morning and evening). I need it to be sturdy, well supported and of course non slip. Do any of you have suggestions? I just wasted good money on one that smells like chemicals and is way too padded to be sturdy. As Adriene says "your yoga mat has your back". Really want to get one that has truly has mine! Sending love, light and blessings to one and all...🤗

This month has been traumatic with serious illness for my husband and your sense of moving deeper for mental health, heart health, and body health envelopes me like a fog. Through the despair I have found some practices that bring me together. For me, this experience, has made me feel there is only this moment in my life---the past exists but is exactly that--the past. The future does not exist--only now. Your practices have helped me, Adriene. I am grateful. I am finding the now as a place to be. The speed lines of my life feel wilted but through it all, I am breathing and practicing whatever yoga I can. Thank you for this gift. (I missed our Benji cam this month!). Lots of love.

Querida Adriene, in spanish so you can practice: no puedo evitar referirme a ti como "mi maestra de yoga", porque es lo que has sido para mi en este último año. Ya conocía tus videos y los hacía de vez en cuando, pero mi práctica de yoga era en su mayoría presencial. Desde que inició la pandemia me has acompañado casi todos los días (y absolutamente todos durante este 2021) y aunque nunca hemos estado en la misma habitación, me haces sentir tan cerca al recibirme en la calidez de tu hogar, con Benji y he aprendido y crecido tanto que te has convertido en una de mis grandes maestras. Es un honor para mi ser parte de esta comunidad preciosa, donde, además, nos cuidamos y nos alentamos entre todos. Debes saber que eres muy amada y que agradezco no sólo lo que has hecho por mi sino por lo que haces por el mundo cada día con tu sonrisa y tu hermosa forma de ser. Te quiero mucho, gracias, gracias, gracias. I can't help refering to you as "my yoga teacher" bacause that's what you've been to me for this past year. I was familiar with your videos before but my yoga practice was mostly on a studio. Since the pandemic started, you've become my only yoga teacher and even when we have never been on the same room, you make me feel so close when you receive us in your own home and with Benji. I've learned and grown so much that I consider yor one of my greatest teachers. I'm honored to be a part of this wonderful community in which we support and take care of each other. You should know that you are very loved and I am thankful not just for what you've done for me but for what you do every day for the whole world with your smile and beautiful way of being. I love you so much, thank you!

I love all of the Yoga sessions so so much. I have to do "catchup" and I'm doing 2 a day as I didn't do anything for 3 weeks because we found out our pup is terminally ill. They say "neurons that fire together, wire together"; so, the daily repetition of Yoga with Adriene is now a great new and best habit for me. I used to go go go at fitness and now I am just slowing down and honouring myself with Yoga and it's so so wonderful. Thank you so much Adriene. I did purchase/sign up for the year and I am excited to continue. Best wishes to you and your team, and Benji!

What was that fast-muttered comment at around 1:22? "We need to watch time"?

I love the imagery in the Billy Collins poem 'Velocity' you shared ... 'as we rush along the road of the world, as we rush down the long tunnel of time —' Thankyou 🧘‍♀️☮💖✨🙏
