Hard to follow as mirroring you we got backwards first so can’t see what you’re doing
Strained my ribs somehow. An article recommended this pose and heat. Love to hear more suggestions, although I know you’re busy.
Hi Adriene, I can’t remember if it was in a video or a response you posted in the comments, but a while ago you briefly mentioned how much your body has changed since starting yoga. Can you talk a little about that?
this is not how Hatha yoga teach Gate pose. u seem to be doing it the wrong way.one needs to bend towards the leg that is extended sideways
nice videowell explained, not boring, fun to watch. thanks!
I always greatly enjoy your sense of humor, but I must admit, “spread yo butter” made me laugh harder than usual.:-D
Something I think would be popular would be a yoga/sanskrit vocabulary episode
Plus it would give you a chance to flex those theatrical muscles with like a language arts teacher persona
Oh wow, now I get what this pose is all about. Thank you Adriene!!
I have never worked as hard in any yoga class as I am now, working my way through the foundations of yoga series. It just shows how important it is to take the time to make sure that poses are done properly and all the necessary muscles are engaged. Wow! It is hard work. My body is soooo tight. Thank you Adriene for your gift to us!
thats really hurt, i got cramps in both my legs and bottocks muscles. Thank you but that was hard. Ouch.
My knees hurt a lot, even double siding my mat… Any suggestions? I had to stop the poses before as I could not ignore the pain…
finished practice with this.. and i felt tall afterwards, and slow and graceful. Thanks Adriene
I can’t do it.I’ve tried it a lot but I’m just soo confused.omg I want to laugh to myself!
SMILIN’ & ENJOYING………Adriene, thanks again for keeping it real and connecting to the masses, while making each of us feel as though we’re having a one on one yoga practice with you!
You could just be smearing sun cream 😉 just saying! Will try this later as I have torn my Quadratus Lomborum and ligaments connecting my lumbar spine on the left… in recovery now but very stiff. Just trying to find gentle exercises to target my back from different angles… like the look of the little hover, need to regain some core strength:)
After doing gentle morning, energizing morning and bedtime yoga with you for 4 months regularly, I’m amazed how fast I regained my strength and flexibility. Big thank you, Adriene!
thank for doing what you’re doin adrienne! wondering when the reboot and empower courses will be re-available on your website?
You are a nut but so am I. Smearing my ribs with peanutbutter, yum. XD
Adriene, could you please do a video on how to do the Anantasana (Sleeping Vishnu) pose???
I find that it is difficult for me to press into the outer edge of the foot on this one. Do you have any tips for that? Thanks Adriene for all your wonderful videos!
Love the yoga classes! My kids and I have been doing them every morning with you! You are our YOGA! Thanks again for making this so accessible.
I do this everyday, and it makes me feel sooooo good!!! Thank you,
I definitely noticed a lot of lift in my ribs and that I was holding my core taller than normal. I had a bit of soreness in my knees. Next time I’ll be sure to have a blanket to pad my mat.
I just love your mat! Turquoise is my favorite colour and the pattern underneath is stunning. Where did you get it from?:) xxx
I wish I lived in Austin so I could take your classes in person! Love your personality and singing and the fun you bring to yoga!!:)
My sides feel great:) Question, howevermy knees tend to hyper extend and I found the pressure on them painful when my heel was pointing up. Any variations you would suggest? Could I keep my weight on the outer edges of the foot rather than the heel? Thanks!
Thought I’d give this yoga thing a try and all I can say is that I now love it! Your videos are awesome, thanks for sharing your techniques and humour, keep up the great work:)
Got my shake on in this pose! Really feeling those muscles come to life in this pose! Thank you!
Adriene! My home practice life saver! I’m a new yogi and although I already have a mat I wanted to know what website or store you advise to get the best yoga gear? Towels, mats, bags that’re reasonably priced? Thank you!!!:)
I’ve caught a horrible flu and while recovering, thought i would get off my bed and do some inside fitness/yoga since its raining outside…. this is amazing and I think i’ll have to do it daily! feeling better already.. Thanks so much!!
your videos makes me happy that it! l think if you make an every day vlog that gonna be amazing you have such a lovely personality Adriene 😉
I just did the Wind Relieving Pose, Warrior 3 and Gate Pose. They were all amazing. Three weeks left and then I’ve finished the whole ‘Foundations’ playlist and can start doing the beginners yoga sequences. Thank you so much +yogawithadriene
Hey. I am a teen that is slowly getting in to yoga. Thank you so much for inspiring me and helping me develop a healthier life style. Is it possible to get a special video; yoga for pre teens/ teens? Thanks a lot x
I love your videos! Do you think someday you could do a video on yoga for tight hips?
Any techniques that can strengthen the abs without being too hard on them? I had surgery 6 months ago that involved a large incision across my upper abs… ouch! I know. Thanks!
Love this. You always inspire me to get back on the mat! Thanks!:)
amazing for the sides and my lower back. Thank you, Adriene!
I was doing great until 11:13 when you talked about smearing butter over your body with a funny accent and then I laughed so hard I fell out of the pose! <3 ya and thanks for keeping it fresh!
How can I keep up my flexibility? I’ve done your hip opening video among others and got great results only they don’t last. To stay flexible do I have to keep doing it everyday or is there another way because id like to get further in my practice but this seems to hold me back. any suggestions?
Agree with everyone, it’s your fun approach that sets you apart. And sooooo cute!
Yes the Eurythimics! Thanks for all these foundation videos. Which way should my thumbs be pointing when my hands are on the floor under my shoulders?
I love doing yoga with you Adriene, I’ve been following for a few weeks now and feel great after the practises, thanks so much for sharing with us!
Sooo glad you’re on YT sharing your humor and joie de vivre. It makes a huge difference yoga instructors can be pretty dang dry and serious. Thanks:}
Body integration at its best ��✨ Thank you Adriene! Namaste ����
I was watching the older foundations videos and there has been quite a transformation in your presenting style. Always some humour, but there’s more of an ease and openness of your personality.
Thanks Hero! We will definitely try to tag them better. We have another 100+ videos coming, and will be adding more tips on our website. Thank you for watching!
Well made videos that are informative and relaxing to watch, they deserve more views. Try adding more tags, I tried to re-find them by searching ‘learn free yoga’ and they were nowhere to be seen.
