Love this. Question…am I the only one who can only do a full tree pose in shorts? I need skin on skin to hold it. In pants my foot slides down stretching my pants.

I know I'm being a British sourpuss but after a week away owing to illness and starting back with this class I found the incessant chatter hard to take. I prefer the videos with less talking - I'd better stick with those and ease myself back into it.

I may have done myself a disservice by reading comments and knowing crow pose, was coming, a pose that eludes me and that my inner voice says “I can’t”. I laughed and felt seen when Adriene said it was ok if I was falling out of tree pose as I was. But today my attempts at crow brought up feelings of shame with the frustration and I began to cry. I know I need to have patience and build the foundation and that I’ll never fly as long as I believe I can’t. I’m sharing in case anyone else cries too. I see you.

<p>I practiced out here today :))) and when crow came I was like oh I can't do that, that sucks what should I do now and then I just tried it for fun and whooop I was in crow pose (for 1 second)....! Certainly (almost) got in my own way there - my mind got in the way of my body freaking rocking it💫 Mind intelligence bowing to the body intelligence yesss we can do hard things!!!</p>

<p>After several medical interruptions I’m looking forward to spending time with Adrienne and Benji. Going into today’s practice with compassion and a sense of humor as I’m going to be about as graceful and coordinated as a giraffe on roller skates….. </p>

That crow pose always gets me! I used to be able to do it, but now I just keep on trying to fly, but only for milliseconds. Still fun… Thank you, Adriene + sweet sweet Benji. Namaste all 🙏🙆🏻‍♀️♥️

<p>Adriene and all,So many years ago I began a wellness journey with you with the True monthly journey. I was 300 pounds and knew I needed a change in my life to cultivate the life that I longed to live, with the dreams I longed to fulfill. Within that challenge was one pose I couldn't conquer: The crow pose. I put it on my bucket list as a to do, and slowly it faded into a pose I didn't think I would be able to perform. I stopped trying for so long, and had all but given up.</p><p>And then the universe and destiny intervened, and through this crazy journey of life, in this very moment, the day before the launch of my comic, with this practice that feels so apt, I was finally able to perform my very first crow pose. Something I had long thought I wouldn't be able to do. A risk I couldn't dream to take. A bucket list item, now fulfilled. (A wobbly one, but I stuck it for at least a few seconds!)</p><p>Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so so much. For all you give. So much love to you all.</p>

I think I was too antsy fir this practice tonight - I was fidgeting through mountain and tree pose and getting annoyed at what I felt was Adriene rambling 🙈 Sorry Adriene! 😬 I was just like “get to the point” - clearly PMSing 🤣

<p>I definitely need this! I am feeling anxious lately as I recently graduated NP school and my new job approaches 😱 I want to be a great NP and I have a fear of failure but I took a risk going to school and advancing my nursing education. Really need to hear all the things Adrienne says in this one. And crow pose is always a struggle for me but I managed to hold it for a few seconds today! Thanks for the supportive words!</p>

<p>For some reason I love tree pose. 🌳</p>
