Home - Day 11 - Dig | 30 Days of Yoga

Hello dear friends! What is one thing you are going to do today to seize the day?

Thank you Adriene and Benji for this empowering day 11 practice, see you tomorrow! 🙏🏽❤️🐶🙏🏽❤️🐶

I stayed in savasana nearly 30 minutes today. I needed it so bad. Loss of stress, anxiety, grief and sorrow that being there with my eyes closed on the Mat just laying still felt like a cure. I felt so zen and peaceful and I think I even dozed off for a bit. This was truly magical ❤️

Home Day 11 🙏
October 11th, 2023

A lot of pain in my feet yesterday and today. Not sure what that's about-- probably they're unclenching for the first time in years, ha ha!! Not able to do the Crow, but WAS able to do the arms behind the back and then even over my head in lunge, which amazed me! Slowly the creaks are uncreaking! Thank you YWA!

❤ ❤

Being given the permission to just play and explore is SO powerful. I'm such a rule follower and so often it has held me back from being able to discover my own way of doing things and being afraid of not doing things perfectly. Today I got Crow Pose! No doubt it was ugly and not 'perfect', but I've never been able to do it before, even when I was a much younger me. Being told to just relax and play, by someone I trust, felt freeing today, thank you!

Day 101 for me!! Love me some crow pose. I always feel pretty accomplished when I'm able to do a decent one. Thanks Adrienne <3

Really enjoyed today's practice. Lots of lovely stretches and a good length of time.

Try yoga to improve your posture and alignment.

thank you!!!!

After a week of pausing due to a sinus infection, what a day to come back to on! OW! But i still did it! Thank you Adriene

I've been struggling with a health condition for quite some time but it feels like I'm really turning a corner now! I have flash backs to a couple months ago before I started doing daily YWA and I can remember how much more difficult all these movements were then. Now, when I dropped into high lunge, warrior one, and even a moment of crow pose... my body was there for me! I'm feeling strong today, and it's a good feeling. I'm proud of myself and EVERYONE who is showing up to the mat with me. Big cheers to the YWA community and to you Adriene, thanks for being our humble guide!

On the whole I have found Home much more balanced than Move, if not quite as consistently valuable as Breath, but this particular video was way, way too fast. I had to back track about four times per position. It took me a full hour and a half to get through through this 20 minutes. Especially as there was no warm up, but we are expected to have muscles loose and warm enough to jump right into downward dog with warning. I know I have a personal deep preference for transition time, so as to allow me the time to make sure I am engaging the correct muscles, especially since I struggle a lot with misusing back, hip, shoulder and neck muscles. And I personally don't see any value in speed. But I don't think I am in he minority in having a daily life that leaves my muscles way too tense and stiff to make such a jarring transition not only not possible, but highly inadvisable, regardless of a regular and consistent yoga practice. Out of all three challenges, this was definitely my worst day, in terms of being lower back agony pretty much from the first position through the end, despite all my best efforts to shift the engagement to other muscles - there was no way a squat was happening after all that.

Amazing

You have definitely changed my life❤

I started yoga with Adriene in November 2021 and today I can say that I did a CROW POSE for at least 1-2 seconds!! I never thought that would ever be something I could do. So I want to say to all of us who think they cannot do something because of their body or something else, it is possible!! My next goal is to get my heels on the ground with downward facing dog, I look forward to that happening. And I don't care if it takes me a week or a year, I will keep doing yoga everyday, because it brought me so much :) Thank you Adriene and the community :)

so lovely🥰✨

Thanks! 🙏

Thanks!

I "brought the earth up to meet me" by making a small herb garden with pots onto my otherwise stony terrace 🥰

I always find myself coming back to this video, such a beautiful and valuable practice <3

Thank you. When we did the shaking of the head "yes" and "no" in one of the forward folds, I told myself that I am saying yes to things that are good for me and no to things that are not. Thank you for that wisdom.

Almost didn’t, but did 💪🏻 and that’s what matters. Forming healthy habits 🙏🏻

Wonderful to give the thinking mind a break and just go with the flow.
I’ve been Doing yoga ( various 30 day challenges ) everyday since Jan 2022. It’s become a healing strengthening habit. Played around with yoga for years but never got that daily habit going till this year.
Anyone thinking about it. Make the commitment you will not regret it.
As always Adrian thanks for all you have freely given I have been blessed.

Adriene, I just wanted to say thank you for making this free and awesome. Never in my life did I think I find myself liking Yoga! I'm a "typical guy". I am so grateful that I started this 30 day journey! I'm making Yoga a permanent part of my life! Thank you so much!!

Losing myself.

Loved this practice. My fave so far. Adriene, you’ve changed my life with your YT videos. I’m strong again in many ways. Thank you so very much! ❤️

Always amazing 💖

Big big thanks, Adrienne for what you are doing!!! I am taking your challenge now and I am amazed how deep and connected I can go with your loving guidance! Sending all the love back! Hugs

The Crow always gets the best of me

Oh boy this one stretched me

I dig you 😁

is it ok if i miss a day and then do it tomorrow

I love this practice but wonder if there will ever come a time when I can do it without triggering tear-inducing lockdown flashbacks?

I can't believe I'm onto day 11 today.

I absolutely loved this one!!! I love how spiritually in tune Adriene is. It is definitely a reassuring, peaceful energy that my soul needed a reminder of at this time of my life. This is the first time in a long time that I didn't have to force myself to dedicate this time to myself and my body. I eagerly show up to the mat, and usually find multiple videos to do after each Home video. Thank you Adriene for helping fall back in love with yoga, myself, and my body's abilities. This is a beautiful guide back to HOME <3

Thank you💞

Thanks :)

Wow, this practice was hard, frustrating, I cried at the end (I couldn't crow) however I felt deeply connected to my body and mind and went on til the end, it was very emotional but then I accepted it how it was, it's ok, and my conclusion is that I need to work in managing my frustration! Everyday with Adrienne is like a different lesson! My body and mind thank you deeply ❤

Love you too!!!

yoga with you Adriene. To help my mom with some Reiki to hopefully ease her pain later on today. If anyone is reading this today August 1, 2021 please send some healing love to my momma Rose. Many blessings to all.

:))

Adriene, thank you so much for being with our family through every lock down. We are on day 18 of our current lock down. My daughter and I are both English teachers so we especially loved your inter textual reference to ‘Romeo & Juliet’ today. You are making a big difference. Thank you.

This is definitely my favourite practice so far! Loving it Adrienne ❤️

Thank you Adriene. At 52 I am new to Yoga. It is life changing. Thank you for sharing.

Okay .. i had to pause for a minute and just ask am i the only one struggling with crow pose..... How .. how howw..

Love you Adrienne!! 🙏💛
