Nice to see your first doggy. Happy Halloween Adriene
Hi Adriene I wanted you and your team to know that I’m working my way through the foundations of yoga videos and loving them. I’m so glad that they’re here! Thank you!
Fantastic, lovely Maria♡ can u pls Tell us the title of the Song? Thx
I just finished a long run and this is what I need right now…
Just started following you while cooped up because of Covid-19. I am enjoying every minute, you are so easy to follow and have such a sweet nature. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!
Adriene, I just want to say you are the cutest! Every joke and expression makes me smile so much hahaha. just wanted to let you know!!!
Wow, the shoulder movement is amazing. Never thought of doing that!!!
During these 9:26 mn I had I felt a total relaxation and a deep rest. Rejuvenator. Benji was very cute in his disguise. The boy was dressed like a blue crayon. He sounds like that TV show “The Middle” when Sue Heck dressed like a pink crayon for Halloween . Thank you for that corpse Pose. Namaste.
https://youtu.be/zPAmp37hzv0
Theres the video of benji as a pup!
That was an awesome pose! I literally felt like i slept for a week in that pose! Feeling so refreshed!:)
It was a rough weekend at a Renaissance Festival in the freezing rain. So it was lovely to go hunting for a quick video that could teach me how to sink into a relaxing pose.
This exercise does at least looks pretty simple. Is it suitable for beginners?
I was having a panic attack and I decided to try meditation. This helped so much. Thank you.
Hey Adrienne, Thanks so much for all your videos. I wondered if I could ask you for a little advice? The last 10 years or so have been lets say not great for me. I have suffered an extreme amount of stress which was largely out of my control. In the last 2 years I started getting fatigue to the point I literally couldn’t walk or move my body after only a couple of minutes of effort. Went to hospital and was admitted. They ran tests for MS Etc. Couldn’t find anything so discharged me with a neurology appointment. Anyway skipping forward a little I finally got a diagnosis of conversion disorder, my body and brain were unable to cope with any more stress of any type so just shut down. I am currently waiting for a specific type of therapy but found out Yoga can help. So far its been a magical experience. I have gone from 3 5 minutes before I can’t move to 4 weeks later 2 hours. I feel connected to my body and emotions in a way I haven’t in almost a decade. I don’t know if Yoga can completely cure me and I am not putting that kind of pressure on expecting anything of yoga but its doing very well for now. So, the issue is that I have always been strangely flexible for a man and especially for a 39 year old man, I am already on to some pretty challenging poses, like bow, wheel camel etc, The one I have trouble with however is Savasana. Around 3 weeks ago I did it and welled up with emotion, next time I completely dissolved into soul racking sobs curling up into a ball on my mat, every muscle in my body tensed from emotional pain. It felt wonderful after I had done some googling and found out it was normal and not to worry. I understand its happening because I have finally found a way to stop and be in the moment with my brain forced to confront feelings it hasn’t gone near for 10 years but although it felt incredible, cleansing renewing and exhausting to start with. I am starting to become afraid of it. I skipped it yesterday then felt even worse that I’d skipped the most helpful part of yoga then started crying because I hadn’t taken care of myself in this new way I finally have. Even so I am genuinely scared to confront Savasana it feels like too much. Like I am expected to flap my arms and fly to the moon, I just know I don’t have the resources to do it. Please can you offer any advice if you have any of how to deal with what should be the most wonderful feeling, I started out looking forward to it but it just seems too painful now. Ironic as none of the physical poses give me any problem. Its being still and with my own breath that I can’t do.:) Thanks for anything you can offer from your experience and if you can’t offer anything, thanks for your videos. Take care. Andy
2:01 on a super lazy sunday. this pose easily sent me on a super mindful swim of thought. And your relationship with Benji almost made me cry lol soo wholesome <3
Awwwww I miss both our dogs named Blue…”Me and you and my dog named Blue, traveling and living off the land…”
Really loud music kicks in just after she says to relax into the peace very jarring!
EXPLORE DAY 31
Explore was a blast, looking forward to November!
Namaste.

My Yoga instructor says it the same way as this woman. Aslo, Wikipedia says the ‘a’ at the end is not silent.

Oh my…This is the first time I have seen a video of yours featuring Blue:) I love Benji so much and I am also happy to see his “ancestor”, seems like such a beautiful soul <3 All the best, our dearest Adriene and happy Halloween:) Namaste from the Czech Republic <3
Awwwwwww the ending with Blue was SO CUTE! Thank you for spreading the holiday cheer with these Halloween videos, Adriene!
Happy Halloween!
It was wonderful experience, thank you so much for sharing such a quality content. I hope we’ll get see more of your yoga videos.
the “a” at the end of asana is silent. At least say the name correctly or find another name for the damn exercise, something you can pronounce correctly.
Nice to end the Explore month and my day with this practice:)
Didn’t do the Wild Thing video because my back felt weak today. But another successful month with YWA! Thank you!
I love the dramatic voice and corpse pose. My absolute favorite pose of All Time. Jai Namaste
I’ve never known that you could do this pose with your knees up to help back pain, this really helps!
I always have to keep my hands on my belly or my cat comes over and attacks them!
Very interesting video, loved it.
Regards
Virat

‘HULLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO’. [drop mic. walk off]. me: who was that? my brain: that, my friend, was a 90 year old Irish lady. me:?..?? my brain: dude, cross your legs. try to keep up.
Adorable doggy! My dogs and cats always try to do yoga with me. I’ve learned how to work around them.:P
Adriene, I have a question I hope you can help with… My morning practice involves 60mins hatha yoga followed by 40mins kriya yoga (seated yogic meditation). I’m currently finishing my hatha practice with 5mins savasana then moving onto the seated meditation. I’m considering skipping the savasana and doing 5mins more kriya. So either I (a) skip savasana, an ostensibly important part of hatha yoga, or (b) fragment and interrupt the ‘meditative’ part of my practice. Which would you recommend?
That was adrienes dog blue, before she got benji:) that’s why he was a blue crayon:) theres a video on her channel of her introducing puppy benji
Awwww…. Blue. My first dog was named Blue ❤️ Did you know that blue is a symbol for truth? At least in Medieval literature, which is why King Arthur is frequently shown wearing blue.
But your Blue was super adorable, especially as a blue crayon
Hi
For what scientific reason the tailbone should be tucked in to lengthen the spine? Shouldn’t we just maintain the natural curves of the spine? Please explain the benefits scientifically
I find that because of my tendency to have a curve in the lower back I like to relax into Supta bada konasana (I think that is what it is called) Or corpse butterfly?
It’s the first time i tried Savasana with a YouTube Video and I have to say it was great! Your instructions, your voice and the music are so lovely. Thank you!
Happy HALLOWEEN ADRIENE!!! Love watching this!!! Now associate this posture with joy!
Hei Adriene… you are super sweet and your practice is helping me with my alignment! THX from Vienna 😉 i love the music you are playing in your videos… also at the end of this video! Which artist is this?? or can you make an small artist list…???
Should you breath in the belly only or is better to take deep breaths that fill both belly and chest?
Hi. I’m just wondering, when I tuck my tail bone under and draw my navel into my spine with my knees up it’s comfortable however when I lengthen my legs I can only keep my lower back pressed onto the ground if I flex my feet and push it down. Should I continue to do this or is it more important to relax and just let my back and tummy rise if that’s what it naturally does? I am working on strengthening abs so I’m assuming and hoping it will become more natural over time but just wondering what to do for now as I can’t relax into this pose whilst I’m trying to keep my tail bone lengthened and navel drawn in. Thanks heaps, from QLD Australia.:)
Hi there, I’ve just been compiling a YouTube playlist that features some of my favourite Yoga with Adrienne videos (a short beginners practice, plus lower back, hips, and hammies) but I can’t find any guided Shavasana videos to add at the end. It would be really great to have a five or ten minute relaxation video that I could hook on to the end of my playlist for a complete practice. So my question is, do you have one tucked away somewhere that I’ve missed, or any plans to make one? Or, if not, are there any clips elsewhere that you would recommend? Many thanks in advance!
Should I be continuing to press my lower back into the floor throughout? Or do I release even that tension?
when i do this pose my lower back gradually begin to arch. i can pass one hand under my back. i squeez my belly to press lower back down but it last for some seconds
Adrienne Love, have you made a recent shavasana video? You rock. and I am such a fan of these OG videos too. Holler. Shout out. Love. Vibes. Namaste. Aloha.
Great video Adriene. I wanted to leave a suggestion, from an admittedly novice yoga practitioner to an experienced oneapart from deep breaths Savasana should also include a wandering focus exercise, in which one starts from ones toes and through his/her body keeps on changing focus upwardly, ending on his/her forehead.
Thanks for this video again. Namaste.
Thank YOU!!! You taught me how to un-wind naturally! I have to work on the surrendering, my mind tries to fight the body by staying stressed. I am going to practice to get it right.
thank you so much for all your free and thorough yoga classes, just started them last week and been doing them daily for the first time in 2 yrs. i know yoga is so good for me but it’s hard for me to motivate myself and having your classes in the comfort of my home on my own schedule and easily accessible for no cost with lots of full classes to choose from, is so helpful and such a generous gift from you. it’s really healing to have someone who is not just trying to make money but really wants to help people feel good, and i get that from you. i especially like the 30 minute sessions from your revolutions series that i just started because they are more doable for a busy mom and they start off low on the mat which is helping me get over the hump of “I can’t”. thank you!
Namaste ji, please give a step by step commentary on Savasana sequence for doing it more effectively. With pranams
When i started doing yoga, two month ago shavasana was easy. Now i can’t get there, i tried with this video but did not work for me. Have you ever thought about making another video for this posture? Sería maravilloso
ɷ Heeeey Friendds I Have F0unddddd Greatt Guide On Weight Lose visitt: https://t.co/RkimvERgNS
I have severe anxiety, depression, social anxiety, ptsd and a self harm addiction and this pose really calmed me down. Thank you
I missed this one and the last few practices of October so I figured I would catch up by doing this one and yup I don’t know why I missed this one it was no time at all but I been busy and nursing a very damaged arch and heel on my left foot and it just started getting better, aw that was blue, he was so cute, hope you are doing well Adriene much love to u and benji and everyone, Namaste ❤
Soo this video scared the crap outta me.. I was doing a guided meditation video with shiva rea (totally in the zone) before this video came on auto-play. and then, all of a sudden I jolted up from a deep “HELLOOOO”. Whewww thankfully it was just you, Adriene. Gotta loveeee it <3 Namaste.
I do this after every yoga practice and whenever I can’t fall asleep. Thank you so much for making this!
I love old Adriene! Or young Adriene I guess!:) And Blue…RIP pal!
I can barely do this pose because my dog thinks its time to play when I try. If the dog isn’t in the room, I do this pose. It’s one of my favorites. Thanks!
Even though I do not practice yoga but after this video,I am energetic and extremely calm.This 5 minutes video have already impacted me
Savasana practice I return to over and over again, thank you!
After a rigorous practice please make similar video with less instructions. Please give some time for relaxation. It felt a bit hurried. Background music needs to be reduced in volume.
These are just my suggestions. Great video and thank you for putting it up
This was amazing. Where can I get a longer version of this music so I can do this pose with it for an extended period of time?
What is the name of the background music? Also thank you so much for making this because it has helped me immensely!
Does it make me lazy if this is my favorite pose? ♀️
I woke up at 4 in the morning with my brain in motion with all I had planned. This recording allowed me to stay inposition for 45 minutes. it was a gorgeous feeling.
Thank you once again that one brought out some emotions pent up from the day final day of the October calendar #ywaEXPLORE and Day 61 of daily practice Namaste Adriene
1:36
If you look carefully you can see that she is actually talking!
Love the blooper video with Benji at the end! He’s the cutest…reminds me of my Molly. who was also a crayon (fire hydrant red) for Halloween a couple years ago!:-) Thanks for the laugh
pls tell most effective yoga for constipation
thanks in advance:)
So I’ve been following your videos every day for more than two months and now I really want to get my poses, alignment right and breathe. so I’m going to make it a habit to return to the basics. thank you for your videos, love them
I love your spirit, girl
Lovely, motivating, inspiring and childish ❣️
I’m enjy Egyptian yoga instructor
Have a lovely day
Love and Peace
Thank you for this, excellent to add on to the end of the beginning/end of my yoga routine!
Thanks for the tips on modifying it for back pain! Corpse pose was never as relaxing as it seemed it should be; I have scoliosis, and I usually ended up with a sore back. But with knees up and leaning in together, it’s actually relaxing. Yay!
I super love this as I kinda find savasana unbearable, but with this one, the minutes just fly by. I now play it after Yogi Nora’s yin yoga. Maris, pwede maglambing ng yin yoga sequence?:)
OMG I love the outtake at the end and Benji’s costume! So cute!!
Wow Doing this six years late, It’s incredible the detail in every yoga pose but ti is completely worth it,thank Adriene also throwback Benji was loooking hella handsome Best crayón ever.☮️
The a the end is not silent! Yes it’s true. Yoga originated from the country India, in old times and now too they pronounce it with the letter a. So people out there correct yourself( I am not being rude). Even Wikipedia states that, check it out.
Thank you so much for this. I incorporate it into my daily practice several times a week when I know I’m going to need a little help to get to the deeply relaxed place 😉 Namaste.
I wish there was a yoga relaxation video that would actually let you relax for a few minutes in between all the talking. I know you mean well, but isn’t this kind of missing the point?
Love the intro….lol
This pose was really relaxing and I was able to really focus on my breaths. Another favorite! Namaste
Ps. I learned 4 poses today! Looking forward to my first full routine!
We used to do Yoga at school. This was every kid’s favorite pose.
This is probably the only Yoga position I can do. I was snoring in less than 2 minutes of getting into that position. LOL:)
Corpse pose is so much of a resting pose Adriene. And, your the best yoga person i`ve ever heard of!
You are an angel! Do you have any guided meditation videos? I would love to hear your guided meditation! Loved yoga camp and keep up the incredibly blissful work. Namaste.
this was perfect! thank you. a lot of the other savasana videos the people talk wayyy too much, but this was divine
Omg you are awesome was looking for shavasana guidance this is very apt for me how I used to do in India thanks a lot. if you change the music it would be nice it is little noisy and not pleasant during resting just a suggestion.
Nice explanation sir. But i have a doubt that, this savasan and other bed time asanas are to be practiced on the bed before sleep or on the floor and then shift to bed.
