<p>This is your OCTOBER 2022 MEMBERS ONLY VLOG! Bringing a sense of play and deep connection to you ~ dear community. Join me as we go over our community theme and contemplation for the month and commit to some playful practices on the mat together!</p><p><br></p><p>Practicing playfulness in your yoga practice can cause changes in the front of your brain (the prefrontal cortex) that help wire your executive control system. <strong>This can play a very critical role in helping you regulate emotions and support you in the way you create plans and solve problems. </strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>“</em>Can (<em>_<u>insert your name here_)</u></em>&nbsp;come out to play?”</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for being here.</p><p><br></p><p>Find your October Calendar <a href="https://fwfg.com/programs/play-october-2022?category_id=106071" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Love Always,&nbsp;</p><p>Adriene</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>I Wish I Could Speak Like Music</p><p>By Hafiz, from The Gift.</p><p><br></p><p><em>I wish I could speak like music.</em></p><p><em>I wish I could put the swaying splendor</em></p><p><em>Of the fields into words</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>So that you could hold Truth</em></p><p><em>Against your body</em></p><p><em>And dance.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>I am trying the best I can</em></p><p><em>With this crude brush, the tongue,</em></p><p><em>To cover you with light.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>I wish I could speak like divine music.</em></p><p><em>I want to give you the sublime rhythms</em></p><p><em>Of this earth and the sky's limbs</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>As they joyously spin and surrender,</em></p><p><em>Surrender</em></p><p><em>Against God's luminous breath.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>Hafiz wants you to hold me</em></p><p><em>Against your precious</em></p><p><em>Body</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>And dance,</em></p><p><em>Dance.</em></p><p><br></p>

It is amazing that this month’s theme is exactly what my spirit needs - how’s that for fate and believing everything is connected? Thank you Adriene, and thank you to this beautiful community. This community feels like a hug for my soul 💜

One of my favorite, often-invoked, "words to live by" quotes seems fitting here....."there is a way of being which is lighter, which is freer - a way in which work, as well as play, becomes a dance." I can't even remember (or find) the source but have remembered and lifted it up for myself for many, many years (it often springs unbidden to my mind in the most useful moments!). This vlog, and the poem, brought it to me this morning :).

Your monthly vlogs are always such a treat ! The poem at the end is the icing on the cake. October is my birthday month (it’s actually tomorrow) so Play is the perfect theme but with a deeper meaning it’s even better. I’ve said it 1 million times but doing yoga every morning with you Adriene for the last six years has simply changed my life. Simply because I start every day feeling good, trying to love myself and with so much room in my heart for others. Starting every single day feeling happy is an incredible gift. And thats the beauty of yoga. But I have to say that your positive and fun energy makes it even more special. And Benji is the last layer which makesvit ever more perfect. Love love and more love. And gratitude 🙏🏻❤️🌟

Mmmm, i feel the light. :) Thank you for leading us to Play with the lover of our soul (nickname for Christ). I love how you are so gracious, and leave it open for us to use our own personal language for that uniquely intimate, and life sustaining Relationship. I see the blessing all over you, and it is a blessing to see! :) I sense a beautiful time of ease and healing, may it deepen, and deepen, and unearth long lost treasures within. Where, and how, do you find such amazing poetry!!! Sublime. Thank you so much Adriene for being available for Source to channel through. Angel Under Cover, Yeah You!

I feel proud to be a part of this community and honoured to celebrate with you Adriene and team. Your 10 years of love, sweat and tears provides a beautiful space for us to show up for ourselves. And im certain this has a ripple effect out into the world. Im loving my new yoga mat, it makes me look forward to pressing play even more. Have a gorgeous month of play everyone 🌈

sending loving thoughts to that plant in the back, looking a little sad! It's been with us in videos for years, I sure hope it recovers!!!

Finally, I mat long enough for taller people. Long 85" (215cm) but it is Sold Out. 😢 Poems speak to everyone. It's the universal language. Thank you so much Adriene ✨🌈
