I agree with the last comment forward folds are so difficult!!!
I understand why it is called yoga practice as I never seem to find it easy but am inspired daily to do better. This is day 105 of consecutive yoga and I will probably be still feeling like this on day 1005!
I am not giving up though as the spiritual, meditative and physical components ofyoga light my fire and not just in the abdominals
Keep it up Adriene you are a life changer
I tried it and it helps me a lot. I am able to touch the ground with my fingers. Now, I am trying to touch the ground with my palm. It feels good and so much relaxing. Thank you Adrienne
I also like how you talk about and show a little of the fluid spine… using the breath to extend. Sometimes all we focus on is the pose and stillness.
After watching your videos for a while I’ve been able to achieve both my seated and standing forward fold however I find that everyday it’s as if I’m right back where I started, how do I make this more permanent? ��
Just did the best forward fold because of this video:) thanks as always Adriene
When you do a forward bend, do you fold forward from the hip crease or from the bottom of your pubic bone/pelvic floor?
Excellent new insights into his posing which add a whole new dimension to the mind body connection making it come alive as a concept.
Are your legs supposed to burn with this pose? I’m just learning it and can feel it.��
Exercise is very nice, but I think it’s hard to apply the first time, is it normal or not? I wish my dear teacher to provide us with useful information and finally I wish you dear happiness
This video was uploaded in oct. 2012, but the video of Baby-Benji is from Christmaxx 2014… so, why do we see Benji here?
Thank you! I finally found your channel! This help me out a lot I’ve been having problems with forward bending for about 6 years now. I finally can do it now thanks to your brilliant instructions.
OH my bahahahaha—Adriene it’s been a weird day and your breath-laughter at “swan-dive right in” absolutely got me ������
Question: (If you still look at this old thread) How long/ How far through the pose does the back stay flat? Does the head hang down while the back stays straight? When do you round the shoulders?
Just discovered that you’ve done several 30 day journies!!! SCORE
I just cant do it. I have to do such a huge bend in the knees that my thighs become completely parallel to the floor and it just makes me exhausted. I feel horrible for not being able to do the most basic yoga exercise no matter how much i try:(
I’m glad you shared the salt-water taffy metaphor, it helped me the next time I came to this video again. Also I touched my toes! Never been able to do that before!
If I knew what salt water taffy was, then I might be able to do it ��
Being in forward fold really helps me get that thoracic extension, but the reminder to breathe is so key. Foundations man, thank you for pointing that out!
It was so painful all i can do in yoga is sit and breathe the hell out of it
I really liked this one for the stretch in the back of my legs and I really felt it along my spine! Namaste����
Hii
you’re great teachers.
I’ve been practicing yoga for about 20 days. Suddenly, I’ve got a knee pain laterally, I feel like as if something is moving inside knee.
I’d be thankful if you suggest me something like precautions while practicing yoga.
For example, most people say that one must pull knee caps up during standing poses. What does this actually mean?
Yoga teachers must illustrate this also.
I’ve seen so many yoga trainers on YouTube, but found your content most reliable.
Looking forward for a reply.
Can’t thank you enough.
Thanks for your amazing videos, I love all of them. I learn lots of things:) But for this pose, I think it is better to bend your knees. Especially for beginners, who dont have flexible hamstrings. Otherwise they may have some backpain.
That felt so good thank you. I love that you are doing one pose a video so I can make sure I am doing everything correctly. <3
Mmmmm…. forward fold feels good…..
But what is Salt water taffy??? ������
I’m wholly new to yoga, and I’ve been following YWA videos almost every day for about a month, and enjoyed them immensely. This is the first foundational video I tried because I’ve been having trouble and pain with my forward folds. It looks like what I’ve been missing is pressing into my heels. Made a huge difference! I would still like more guidance on how to “roll up” correctly as it sometimes hurts my lower back. Love these videos though, thank you Adriene, and thank you to everyone who comments with your experiences!
Uttamasana. West tries to westernize everything. One day they will say yoga is a gift of the west to the world.
