Also should have added, I have very little experience with yoga. Recommendations on basic poses and names of them? I find I have a hard time following because I keep having to stop and watch to know what to do next. It reallly interrupts my flow and I get discouraged easily. 🙃

I'm watching this after completing the Rest Series and hot damn, that practice seriously had me sleeping like a baby. I have been practicing off and on with Adriene and the community since 2015 but last year was when I fully commited myself to the daily at home practice. Thank you so much for having my back Adriene. Somehow you just know what I need with the yoga calendar - the practices often sync up with activities or emotions in my life.

So glad I found you through an extraordinary friend named Suki who passed away a few years ago. And Happy Birthday to all involved - 9 years to 10 million amazing. One curiosity - how do I find out more about Benji - type of dog, age, etc. He is a beloved companion that is clear.

Sometimes it is easy to see God, and sometimes he hides himself through us. I see him though. I see his beauty and love through you Adriene...and Benji (every since he was a puppy). FWFG is a miracle of grace, and has been a light to me on my solitary journey of self discovery and healing. I have learned so many life changing things (becoming aware of my breath) since discovering YWA seven years ago. Divine destiny fulfilled lights up the world. Happy 9th YWA! Hey everyone, Adriene's BD is the same day as the celebration of the Archangels! Happy Birthday, dear one! And thank you YWA Team, bless each and every one of you! And thank you Mr. Chris Sharpe for being a faithful partner to Adriene. What an endeavor you two have accomplished! Such an inspiration to me as an independent filmmaker with the same quest, to help people find what feels good. The greatest love to you all! So much more magic to come! P.S. I was overwhelmed by the poem Adriene, which the ocean waves mirrored...so profound, reaching beyond what words are supposed to be able to express. You are such a lovely person, Adriene, and I am grateful for you.
