I used to struggle here, now I actually enjoy pyramid pose!! Great explanation, thank you!!
Joining SHIFT a bit late but wow. Loved this, was really tired today and this just made me feel all melty and soft. Hit the spot perfectly. Thank you so much Adriene ❤️��
This was a “yummy” practice. Feeling relaxed. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Adriene.
This felt very relaxing, focused and felt really good for my back especially! My mind didn’t wander much for once!
You are my idol for teaching! Hope I can be like you some day.
Anyone elses foot fell asleep when bending forwards for a while in the last pose? Freaky
It’s so amazing how the two sides can be so different. If there is anyone else out there lamenting, ‘but the other side was so easy,’ you are not alone
Day 2 SHIFT! Been busy and finally have made it back to YWA. Here on July 4, 2020. This was so refreshing, visiting a single posture. Thank you Adriene! ��
Thank you, Adriene! It’s great to be able to come back to the foundations in these monthly calendars because just as you say there’s something new to discover every time. So important to circle back, particularly right now. Thank you, Love to everyone xx
Shift Day 2 ✅ thank you so much for this months line up!! So stoked �� Namaste ��✌️
Loved this! Just found this series of yours and looking forward to more. I have done the 30 day and my body is so happy! I am a writer, and I have found doing yoga with you after a writing session always balances my body and I am ready for more. Thank you!
holy smokes my knees have never EVER felt so good, DEFINITELY going to be exploring this pose more WOWOW
I can never take a long break from yoga again! These last 2 days made me realize how much I need yoga in my life. I just have to stay consistent!
In the second version I couldn’t get both legs straight and my hands on the ground. What should I be striving for (e..g. Is it better to have my front leg straight and my hand on a block vs. my front leg bent and hands on the floor)?
My back becomes found and I m unable to touch my knees, how I can prepare myself? Pls tell
Sometimes the simplest postures teach us so much about ourselves and how to be more aware. 2nd July, 2020 Thank you! see you tomorrow
Me taking notes:
Adriene breathes
WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
This is great! I hadn’t seen this foundations videos!! Gracias Adriene!
Loved getting a deep dive into Pyramid. Thank you for including it in the July calendar!
I have flat feet so this was great for me totally loved it, I am going to keep playing a little more thanks Adriene much love Namaste and good night ����������❤������
Day 2 of Yoga With Adriene SHIFT July 2020. I’m grateful that everybody’s here for a ridee! �� Today’s practice is deep and I loved it! ✊ Ha, it has been a tough day but YWA and all of the community here always make my spirit and passion go up and up day by day. Thank you! And keep going everyone. I love y’all ��
So much packed in for posture and form. ❤️ it’s all about the shift in July
I think I need some advice, because I had trouble with my knee on the leg that was in front. Locking the knee feels wrong, but if i try to bend it slightly it feels very wobbly �� i just kept focusing on my knee the whole time instead of the whole posture:( what should i do?
I am so glad that you’re including these in the playlist! I always mean to go do the foundation videos but never do! I learned a lot about my body today! Thank you ��
I love that you are including the foundations videos in these monthly playlists!! I’ve always wanted to do them, but this way it forces me to!
I’m in for July 2020. I just finished my BA in dance in May (through which yoga has been a staple of my body and mind health) and have since taken some time off of movement as I cope with what my career looks like moving forward with Covid. This practice feels (so far) like it’s exactly what I need
Here for SHIFT this July! Already learned something about myself, too… I never knew my right leg was stronger than my left leg, but I really felt the burn more in my left leg than my right while practicing today! I guess I’ll have to keep it up to even them out and build flexibility and strength! Good luck to everyone else doing SHIFT and I hope you learn something about yourselves too! Namaste.
Sorry for my ignorance but when I am looking down, should my legs be straight or slightly bended? ��
It’s really interesting how different it feels for each part of my body.
Hey everyone else, I’m in UK and do my daily yoga in the late afternoon, so way behind you guys! It’s July 2nd 17.29 here!
Interesting to see how these videos have evolved over the years. Multiple dissolves in this which I hadn’t seen before. Namaste!
I almost forgot to do Day 2 but here i am!!!! I’m not willing to betray this month haha
Whoof! I always thought Pyramid was just a wider legged forward fold, but boy was I wrong! I’m a runner, so live with constant tight hamstrings, but slowing it down like that has opened them (if not all the way) up! Thanks Adriene for the exploration ������♀️��������♂️
Shift Day 2, and I’m hoping to get through all of it this month! I usually find myself skipping or dropping out entirely but I hope this time it’ll be different:) thank you, Adriene!
Today I learned how tight my hips and hamstrings are, I started the year with Home and hit 76 days of yoga before covid derailed our lives and my practice despite have more time has become patchy so I’m here on day two of shift ready to re align or shift myself into focus,
This month definitely has me SHIFTING my focus. Loved this little recap and seeing how I’ve grown. This is THE month. I can feel it. I already feel bolder. Big love vibes to the community ��
I’ve never been a big fan of Pyramid, which is why I’m so grateful this practice is on the calendar ❤️ I normally would have skipped over this video, but instead I slowed it down and did my best. Now I’m compelled to return to other poses that I’m not so good at (*cough* crow *cough*)
Hmmm. That was interesting. Somehow funny to practice pyramid separately like this, as it’s usually a part of a flow. I feel I’ve done it very differently so far. So it’s something I need to wrap my head around…
Thank you for this!! I’ve always felt defeated when this pose came up…front leg was sooo tight. But today was completely different!
That was extremely fantastic after a day of slip n slide fun for Canada Day! Hahaha! Sooooo sore! Day 2 #ywaSHIFT I’m going to shift the stiffness in my muscles to smoothness hahahaha! Thank you again, Namaste
I’ve been a runner for more than half my life, and this quick session for SHIFT July 2020 is one of the best post-run hamstring stretches ever!
Shift day 2! Loved this one, made me feel quite powerful, as someone who is usually fairly unbalanced haha:-)
Me: I went through teacher training. I know how to do every pose correctly
Adrienne: You can bring your heels in to intersect
Me: What?! I thought they were suppose to be separated?
And this is why it’s important to explore different teachers.
Thank you Adriene ��
Day 2 SHIFT July’20
See you tomorrow ����♀️
Namaste ����
Super helpful for my tight hamstrings! So useful too to focus on this one pose. Thank you Adriene xx Namaste ����
That was nice good to slow down and focus simply on pyramid. I think and hope my pyramid has already now improved. Thank you.
Exactly what I needed today as I had some restless legs last night. Life is good, thank you Adriene, Namaste
Its day two of July, SHIFT, I am so sore from the order in which I completed my June practice. This short and sweet practice was appreciated and my legs feel the better for it, although I will confess that my body is felt very tight. Love to everyone, take good care.
That posture makes me feel like jelly after?? I loved it though, makes me so much lighter in myself (if that makes sense?)
I started the june calendar but my body wasn’t craving that so I practiced other things. Now THIS is what my body craves. I actually started a foundations of yoga video yesterday next to the JULY calendar and I was totally surprised today was a foundations video as well. I really like them and will continue to do them each day with the calendar video. I can’t wait for all these JULY videos. Oh, and today is my 100th day of yoga ��♀️ ��
Well I finally get what I need to do in this pose! Thanks for the very clear explanation. And my legs will be wider in this pose, seems obvious when you know!
Shift day 2 here as well. I started thinking “15 minutes this will be easy” and ended having built up quite a sweat! Thank you x
SHIFT Day 2! I loved slowing down with pyramid pose. I never knew about the heel to heel alignment of the pose so that was cool to explore too. I’ll def be checking out the Foundations videos!
oh wooow I enjoyed this session and didn’t want to end much love�� 2th of july Shift ��
It’s only Shift Day 2 and I’m already feeling more balanced.
Every time you mentioned in your practices to check out the foundations of yoga Playlist I told myself I’ll finally check it all out and I didn’t. Now I’m glad you included these videos in July so finally there’s an opportunity to try them.
Namaste!
Oh my gosh this practice made me realise that I wasn’t balanced at all ��
What a root strengthening practice, Adriene! Thank you!! #shift2020
Wow! That was so helpful. I feel so good. Thank you for the slow, step by step instructions.
This is a great detailed explanation of the pose. If I could study each pose thoroughly like this, I can see the benefits of yoga improving dramatically. Very well spent 3 minutes. Thank you!
Great cues and so satisfying to see someone demo a difficult pose and actually advise warming up! Haven’t seen too much of that. Interesting pose and I’ll definitely give it a shot sometime. Thank you!
good demonstration but pronunciation of asana should be as per correct sanskrit word from which this name has been derived.
Here for Day 2 of the YWA Shift series in July 2020. Adriene, while the world around us is plagued with disease, chaos in the streets, and political strife, you continue to be a shining beacon of joy and stillness. I’m so happy you are a part of my day and hope more people will find you. I don’t always succeed at finding peace or coping with the chaos around me in constructive ways, but when I practice with you, I feel like I am working to be a better version of myself and a better example for others. Stay safe, sister. Namaste.
