I love this practice. I carved out time for this. I gifted my heart and whole being with a full-length session. Self-love to “create grooves and patterns, routes and reroutes…” to always come home to me. Finding joy, peace, contentment, loving kindness and balance. Last few minutes spent with my hair plastered on my face, didn’t fidget and fix it in place - took it as an opportunity to “see feelingly.” Magical. Thanks Adriene for the moment of stillness to start. For sharing your vision and mission that inspired YWA. I am forever grateful. You have loved me way before…and that’s so moving. So I flowed along with you with gratitude, grace, stability, strength, ease with confidence and awareness. A loving homage to my heart, my whole being. Love starts from with in - loving myself as I am. And then I can shower everyone else with the same. So nice! Graceful warrior! Smooth transitions. Solid planks. Yummy cat-cows. Those loving twists. Those folds. Grounding. The flow of energy. I soared! Yogic squat. Happy baby!! Supine twists. Cobbler’s pose. In < 1 hr. (with your generosity of spirit) I gifted myself with so much Joy! My heart is overflowing with gratitude. I have noticed there’s that consistently smoother quality to my flows - as I widen my base and focus on my foundations, alignment, allowing my breath to freely power me throughout, total awareness, trust in your cues and grow my pose from there. Ease. Grace. Balance. One with my mat. Thanks to the workshops too. And for making the foundations of yoga readily available. It’s so gratifying. Surrendering. Trusting. Showing up. Staying curious. Yoga is part of my essential daily rituals. I value my time. I am worthy. Adopting good habits (slowing down) to nourish that inner joy. Loving who I am. To give me space and make it easier to rise and accept everyone and everything without judgment. Life is beautiful. Come what may. Thank you Adriene, YWA, FWFG - for ALL the LOVE. I wish you all well. May everyone have the love each and everyone deserves. My heart is full of gratitude for this safe space. Take good care everyone. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

<p>I practiced with the moon as my companion. I caught it in time as it was still to my left side and a little over the trees at the start of the practice until it set off in the horizon once we lay down on the mat. How cool that was! I practiced with gratitude. Under its soft bright light amidst the white horizon. Drawing soft energy from it and the ground beneath me holding/meeting me securely anchored down to the earth. I moved ever so mindfully, grateful for the new day. Yay! The colors of the leaves and the darkened branches, the birds are nowhere to be heard…it’s so still and quiet. A new day. </p><p>This felt magical after the Morning Sound Bath. Thank you Adriene. I had/have a lovely checking in with myself. Going back and forth like the moon, embracing the aliveness of the moment. Filled with promise. Unknown. And yet welcomed. With open arms. I adjusted as needed. I opened my eyes to gaze up as I draw energy from the ground to keep me anchored on the mat…the upwards current of energy from the moon and the downwards direction back down to the earth. I flowed with more ease and gifted myself grace when I wobbled and found inner joy - my mindset: I am working with myself and not against it. To soften and love myself amidst tight and compromising circumstances as I hugged my knees close to my chest and lifted my shoulders up to kiss my knees. Delicious takeaway! When we started to flow, the rain started to pour down too. And then it suddenly stopped. I danced with the moon, off and on as it peered down at me…and that lent more reverence to the practice. I feel so seen, heard and lovingly blessed! I’ll keep that safely tucked within me. I carved out time for this. I didn’t expect for the moon to be visible. I knew it would be in the horizon somehow…so that was a pleasant surprise! Giddy as my experiences on the mat come forth to shift me and hold me up to meet whatever comes… and the sensations (from the practice…) come forth to guide me back to my innermost connections to change my approach in each present moment. To serve me best. </p><p>This practice is self love at its finest. Every revisit gives new meaning to each movement! Each breath. Each pose and repose. To my growth. I feel every sinew of my being - the nooks and cranny and even the patterns, routes and reroutes are ever present in to taking me back to what matters most: my most authentic connections to my True North. Awareness. Acommunion of sorts. Celebrating, embracing and loving all that I am! At every phase of life. Whatever the journey affords me! Thank you so much Adriene. Happy Hearts Day to you, your mom, your husband and dear Benji! Thanks Chris, dear Teachers, FWFG Team for making it so much easier to LOVe even more! Thanks for all the joys, the laughters and everything else in between! For keeping me safe as I come along for the ride…it’s such a beautiful journey! Even the most trying times! Those I take on as inspiration for me…to practice on…even more! 💚🩵💙💜</p><p>May we all embrace our most authentic self with so much love, acceptance and vow to invest our resources into expanding its limitless potentials with each expansive inhalations! Love. First. And foremost. Towards the Self. And others too. Come to practice so we never run out of space and energy to spread more Light, Love and Affection. Peaceful Hearts For All. 😁😘😍🥰 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 02/14/25</p>

I love this practice. I opted to cancel the comment I was meant to leave. I am “nourishing” the “grooves and patterns…” and every little bit of time spent on the mat truly supports those intentions. Self-care thru practicing yoga aids growth and healing. Thats what I can attest to. Inasmuch as I felt so lighthearted/elated, I was also more aware that there’d be some who’d be or who might feel a tad deflated - as theyre not quite “there” yet. So, I reassure those who feel that way to listen to your body, trust the process, do not compare where you are with others (I focused on my practice and drew encouragement/inspiration from Adriene and the stories shared by everyone here), be patient, prioritize self-care, search the contents here as there’s something for anything you need to address to build yourself up safely (and/or get the medical support you need too) and practice on — show up for yourself and watch the unfolding…you too will get there. And once you’re there, and you most definitely will, stay curious and keep at it — as I do! 🙂 I am sending everyone lots of good vibes, love and unfailing light. Thanks Adriene, Sumair, Marnie, Rey, Chris and to the whole team behind all this goodness. Namaste ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

<p>Is it only me that this video kept hitching and rewinding itself for? I switched devices part way through and the stalls and stutters continued. </p>

<p>♥️</p>

<p>Loved this today, on my birthday, practicing looking at the french countryside rolling away before me. And such a great way to mark 7 years of YWA in my life 🥰 Thank you Adriene and community, as always. </p>

This is exactly what I needed. I had a few stressful days at work and needed to forgive and send grace and love to thise who I felt had hurt me. My heart was physically hurting from anxiety. After this practice, I was able to let it go and my heart stopped aching. ❤️🧘🏼‍♀️

OMG so so so good. And with a summer storm happening out there in London and my breathing out being accompanied by a loud thunder. This was magical all together. Adriene you are my hero. Namaste.

Great practice!!!! 👍 Feeling stronger &amp; more centered after committing to Home😊 It’s almost as if my body &amp; soul now crave and look forward to daily practice. Thank you Adrienne &amp; team, love the monthly calendar ❤️

<p>Sometimes I crack myself up. When step-step-stepping my way to the front of the mat, my aim is to be a graceful dancer. But in reality, I’m Shrek. But I love Shrek. So it’s all good. 🙂</p>
