What a gift to the world. I know you will be paid back by the universe but I want to also add my gratitude. I have been looking for some groovy online yoga classes for a while now and I must say I am so happy I found you! I have been working my way through your videos and it has really helped my body to relax after intense ballet classes… You seem to be a really awesome chicky babe! I love watching and enjoying your videos, even just for your positive attitude.
Reward Yourself
I have also learnt a lot already — there are lots of poses and stretches that I have been doing for years but was never really getting all I could out of them until now. My name is Emelie, I am 23 years old and real beginner-yogi. After a couple of months of mindfulness-practices and meditation I felt like yoga was the next step to take on my very own spiritual path of healthyness and awesomeness. So last week I got myself a yoga mat, and I have practiced 30 minutes per day for six days now. I am not a natural bendy person, and one of my goals for the first half year with yoga practices was to be able to have straight legs, and touch my toes with my hand.
On monday, after my first yoga practice, I was 15 cm from the floor when I tried and I felt as bendy as a fridge. Today, six days later, I touched my feet. I see results SO fast. Yet I have taken it really slow, not doing anything that hurts or feels too uncomfortable. I have been watching your free videos on youtube, and I love the way you really think about us beginners in your practices. But meditation, yoga and mindfulness really helps me going through this dark period of the year.
I eat alot of fruits and raw foods, try to imagine sunlight and bright colors in my mind , beeming out through my chest. And it really helps. You have too excuse any misspelling, since I am a swede spelling english can be a liiiittle bit tricky. I enjoy doing them, its wonderful reconnecting with the body again. Looking forward for more videos on weight loss!!!! Really the most beautiful Yoga Videos I ever saw. Thank you, Adriene for so much inspiration and to give me the desire of practicing Yoga every single day because it makes you feel so incredibly satisfied and joyful.
Would be a great seller;. You are truly a teacher. I feel so blessed and inspired as I read through your script. Just wanted to say I find your videos and approach very refreshing from all the other videos out there. Thank-you so much and please keep it up. You are an amazing teacher. My husband and I recently moved and have been doing yoga via you tube, and we stumbled across your you tube site and thought you were adorable. Would you be interested in making a video for runners, that targeted areas were we runners are usually tight hips, quads, hammies, etc.
We love the energy and pep you bring to the practice!
Discovering my love for yoga started almost the same as yours! I just finished a class for credit last semester and I was immediately obsessed. Anywho, I have been struggling to find a good class to go to here and stumbled across one of your youtube videos which led me to your website. I am transferring to Texas State in San Marcos in the fall. Be on the look out for me! I am working on my self love as it is something I have struggled with my whole life along with panic attacks, going on my first 9 hour plane ride soon so looking for some breathing techniques etc that will keep me and my partner sane haha and from the few videos of yours I have tried, yoga could be the key!
I love me some good books to and love to read up on things that interest me so would love love some suggestions on books?? Could you make a short sequence for a stiff neck and upper back. You would me do such a big favor. Thanks Adriene, your videso always make me happy. Hi Adriene I am absolutely loving your yoga videos — you are so inspirational and friendly. I had lacked the motivation to do regular yoga for a while, and since finding your videos I am now doing sessions multiple times a week, and feeling like a new person both mentally and physically!!!
It fits perfectly round my young family and work and makes me a better Mum. I am so glad that I found you! I have been feeling a strong desire to reconnect with yoga, but do not have a yoga studio close by. I had this preconceived notion that I would not enjoy a home practice, but I have opened my mind and wow am I loving it! I look forward to my yoga practice and love following along with your videos.
You have a gift. And I am grateful for finding your gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love your webside. I wanted to ask if you could make something about stretching? I am so happy I found your channel on youtube. You are so likable and funny I sometimes mess up my breathing because I have to laugh , and the kind of person I like as friends, so when I watch your videos it feels like doing yoga with a good friend! You said somewhere that you are collecting suggestions for videos, so I thought I would like to see a sequence for runners since I run and I have a bad knee someday. Or maybe something on meditation not like guided meditation, but explaining some techniques or so , if that is something you want to share.
Also, the main reason I am writing this for: Now I wonder if I have to choose between them? Or could I just switch between them depending on how I feel each day? What do you think? I have just managed to find you! I have been doing some yoga on and off for the last several years, going to classes here and there, but have not been so enthused about it until I started doing some of your videos. You are right my speed, allowing me to breath into the postures. I am slowly working my way up to some of the more challenging videos and you have become a regular part of my morning!
Thank you so much for what you are doing here! This might be the first comment I have ever posted on the internet. Welcome to the channel and the YWA family. If you had asked me two years ago if I would be online friends with so many people via YOGA — I would have totally rolled my eyes. So I appreciate being your first comment!
The community here is alive and real! It is such a blessing and such a great exchange! I open myself up to an new experience each day because of it! Again, welcome to the channel and enjoy the practice! Let me know how it grows. Thank you so much for your reply! I wanted to put a request out there for you. I really enjoy restorative or yin yoga to balance out my winter gym time and my summer running time I love the running warm up by the way , but in general find videos difficult to track down.
Have you received requests for this in the past? Thanks you again for what you are doing here! I think your videos are going to do just that! Do you have any suggestions for positions for shaping up the tummy after having a baby? Or should most of the workouts be fine for core strength? I appreciate any advise and appreciate you for your time making these workouts! All the best, Jennifer. Thank you for all of your excellent videos! You are my favorite instructor on YouTube! Looking forward to your NYC class es! Hi Adriene, I just started your videos 2 weeks ago and have never tried Yoga before.
Thank you for being so thorough and understanding with a beginner. The reason i have started is because i have a lot of pain. I also have arthritis in my lower back and hips. I really love how i feel after i do a video but i want to know which videos do you suggest to help with the pain and relaxation. I want flexibility and to strengthen so that my body feels better. I am a newbie to the practice and stumbled upon your videos…. There was just something about you that seemed familiar….
Do you know anything about prenatal yoga and how it differs from the yoga you teach in your videos? Is prenatal yoga somehow different than that? I just wanted to leave a quick comment to thank you for helping me get back into yoga after nearly 2 years of it being absent in my life. Your yoga practice philosophy has really inspired me.
You also never fail to make me laugh during your videos with your wit! I ran across your yoga videos on youtube and I really enjoy them! I am a pre-medical student in the process of applying and taking my MCAT so yoga has helped me out tremendously. Thank you for the videos! I found your YouTube channel and ever since I have been hooked! I really appreciate the yoga fundamentals breakdown you do. Adriene, I found your videos on YouTube the day before starting a new and very challenging job. I love the peaceful, positive energy and the invitation to be fully awake and aware throughout my whole body.
I have been waking up at 6am to do your gentle morning yoga every singly day for the last month, and am using other videos in the evenings, getting gradually addicted to your website! This practice has been so supportive to me during this transition, so just wanted to add my thanks. Also, if you have any suggestions of yoga to relax the jaw… I have a bad habit of clenching my jaw when stressed.
Hello, Big Fan here in southern Oregon. I use your youtube videos at least once a week to put some balance into my exercise routine. I think your Yoga for Upper Back Pain is the closest I would use at this point…just wondering if you have more ideas. Thanks for being awesome!! I am such a fan! You inspired me to practice yoga even I am in the comfort of my own room. I would love to share this blog post I wrote about you so that my friends and other readers can be inspired too! Here is the link: I really love you and your videos! I have been following your videos for 4 months and I love them by far anyone else!
I really enjoy how you explain and are free with your words, you make me feel very relaxed and in touch with myself after I am done a video. Love love love your videos!!!! Dear Adrienne, Hi from Israel. I found you on U-tube 5 days ago. Never practiced yoga before. I am suffering from fybromialgia for too many years and my body is so painful. You changed my life, really! I am a woman who always smiles and laughs, but also cries too much because of my pains. Pains help you to move on sometimes, force you to change something in your life.
I am following your videos and make these exercises everyday who help me and make my life softer and lighter. Thank you so much to share your beautiful work with all of us around the globe! Something to support healthy functioning of glutes and hip adductors? I love your video and your voice. I just want to say thank you for the great experience through your video. I took my first virtual Hatha class with you today. Your kindness, humor, and compassion are all really highlighted in the way that your asana practices promote awareness and just plain old fun. I have done a few of your videos as a part of my own practice.
I look forward to practicing with more of your videos, and maybe even learning new things that I can bring to my students. First of all, thank you for all your video. I try to do the morning video every day since few weeks almost every day… and i can feel all the benefit. Im a professional pianist and almost every day i can spend minimum 8 hours in a front of a piano…. My friend Grace does yoga on an average and she inspired me to do the same! It was mainly for a fitness aspect as all my life i have been.. I put on a movie to watch while I was doing some yoga using sequences I learned from you!
I absolutely adore your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Also, I think one of my favourite things in your videos so far has been the ever so occasional F-bomb. Just discovered your workouts about 2 months ago and finally decided I wanted to do the yoga thing! Do you have more? Also, love the way you throw in some humor to the workout! Makes it real and not artificial like so many other workouts you see from other online or DVD instructors!
My favorite is when your doggie came over and licked your face!! Dear Adriene, may I kindly ask you in your lessons are a the Ashtanga Yoga? I want to read more about it and would appreciate your comments. My sister and I had just started yoga. While looking for beginner videos, I chanced upon your video on Youtube and tried it at home that same day. Wow, I loved how you were able to explain well the moves and was able to put some humor in it!
We really do enJOY the sessions with you. I came across your website as I was interested in trying Yoga. I now regularly do a yoga class from your site and am loving it! Just found Vinyasa and really enjoy it! This is my third day of doing Yoga. I used to be the skinny girl in High School and cheer. I eventually hurt my back and had to quit cheer-leading so I then became the not-so-skinny girl. Although today was only my third day I can definitely feel a difference. I love your Yoga videos, best ones!
I was wondering if you sell any dvds? I saw your reboot but i would love to have it on a dvd to practice in my living room instead of being stuck to where my computer is. Anyway my neck gets a bit stiff and achey when doing some poses for core work. You seem so nice and funny and I really enjoy to practice my daily yoga with you. I started yoga about 2 months ago. All the time I worked as an actress, we had lots of body exercises and only now I noticed we did a lot of yoga, even the Sun salutation.
But at that time, nobody mentioned Yoga. Anyway, I really love my current job. I have to tell you that you inspired and inspire me a lot. I go to yoga class 2 times a week, but I practice every day at home with you!! I just want to say thank you,Adriene. I live in a beautiful part of south west Ireland. The sun is shining , the birds are singing, my family is near me and all around me. I love the way you are introducing me to yoga…. Thank you,Adriene, from the bottom of my heart, Love, Veronica x. Hi Adriene I love your videos and I think that you are awesome!
The way you personalize your practices is just so wonderful. I hope you keep making videos forever. I have always wanted to do and love Yoga, but I always strayed away from it because I felt too sore, bored, and not sure of what i was doing. I am addicted now with the help of your videos and I could not be more grateful!
Your instruction is so good, you explain everything so well! I run 4 times a week, swim 3 times and try to do at least 1 other cardio x-train session. How often do you recommend I practise Yoga? I was thinking I could try to do the 20min Beginners vid 5 days but the longer 40min on another day?
Any advise would be really appreciated x. I just wanted to say thank you for being on youtube. Then one day, very recently I decided to try again and stumbled upon your video. All thanks to you. Told my friends about your channel too. This hello is long overdue!! I discovered your videos when I was taking some time off back home in Corsica France , where I lived for the past year. I was doing yoga, thanks to you, in the middle of beautiful nature, every other day — and it kept my body happy and my spirits afloat.
I really love your style, and the videos are a perfect balance — not too tricky, but still challenging enough to get a great work-out if followed regularly, all from the comfort of home. And the way you explain things — so accessible and friendly! I have a lil request — I had hernia problems a while back, and from time to time, I will feel the sciatica pinch coming back in one of my legs.
Adrienne, I have tried yoga many times in my life, however every time I got bored with my teacher and gave up. I found you on YouTube and boy am I grateful I did. Ive been doing yoga almost everyday with you! About three weeks ago, I came across your videos on YouTube. I had been through a period of emotional upheaval in my life. My mind was a mess. I felt depressed and was suffering from severe anxiety.
Your fun and energetic online yoga classes have helped me to breathe, laugh, achieve clarity of mind and they ultimately leave me feeling energised for the day ahead. I wish you every success in future. Have a great day! I found one of your videos on YouTube because I am in a group fitness challenge, and my team was asked to do thirty minutes of yoga this week in addition to our strength and cardio. I have done yoga exactly three times.
I am going to be doing more! I lift heavy three times a week, and get at least thirty minutes of cardio in daily, and your videos are going to be a terrific way to supplement my non-lifting days. OMG, I am so relaxed! And yes, I took a few extra minutes in corpse pose, and loved every moment of it. Did I mention that I am relaxed? Thank you for your videos! I subscribed to both your newsletter and YouTube channel today, and I am so looking forward to learning more! Hey, i just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your work and effort, I enjoy your videos.
Your videos are lifesavers! Thank you so much for your videos, you are such an inspiration to me! Did you do the yoga alliance teacher training? I found your video on YouTube after yet another day of back ache, and I love it. Each time I do one of your videos my back is pain free for at least 48 hours. Partly due to the fact I stand up at work all day. My question is, can I get the videos offline at all? Is there any way you could email them or I could download them? I just want to thank you for being a great teacher and having real ness in your videos: They are so much fun and easy to follow.
Pee Shy Books
I ve recommended to most of my friends. While one of them is suffering from polycystic syndrome and irregular periods. Just wanted to let you know how much i absolutely love all of your yoga videos. I have had trouble finding online yoga videos that gave me the same vibe and atmosphere as being in a studio until I found your videos. So thankful for what you do, helping people around the world like me!
I am SO grateful having discovered your yoga classes! Omega is a peaceful place where many people speak and do enlightening seminars. But upon returning, I did not have that kind of accessibility… hence my going on the internet searching for an inspirational teacher.
I am nowhere near Texas unfortunately, so I have no ability to take a class with you except online… I live in upstate New York near Hudson, which has a growing yoga community. I absolutely Love your approach. Please consider doing a seminar at Omega… I would SO happily attend!!! I just found your videos on YouTube and love them! I live in Houston and have been wanting to find a yoga studio. Do you happen to know of any that you could recommend?
I am so happy I found your videos on YouTube. You have been very encouraging through your videos and I love your sense of humor! You have such a soothing demeanor and I look forward to continuing with your videos. I just stumbled onto your videos recently and they have totally changed my life!
Then I stumbled upon your youtube channel and what a blessing you have been! I love the way you explain things so simply and easily so that the fundamentals are clear and we can carry it with us through every practice. Im after few yoga classes with you, via youtube. Now I love it. Thank you so much for all the inspiring videos. Thank you for making yoga this fun! Your energy really really helps!
My name is Sandra from the Philippines. I love your videos so much! I just wanted to say that i really enjoy your videos. I currently do one of your yoga for weight loss videos every few days. I find your zest for yoga and life inspiring. Greetings from Dublin, Ireland.
I am a girl from sweden and I found your webbsite when I was in a tuff period of my life. You have helpt me to feel better again, thanks to your yoga videos. The yoga classes I could find were all unintelligible, and very, very expensive. I almost gave up on yoga… and then I found you! Thank you so much for what you brought to my life; I am stronger, happier, healthier with your exercises, and I love love love your attitude: Namaste ms adriene , Greetings from India ,the fact that an Indian is learning yoga from an American through the internet … is a beautiful sign that the world is shrinking and that knowledge has no boundaries, I have learnt yoga from various gurus in India but your teaching is like a breath of fresh air.
I am enjoying every bit of my unlearning and re learning …: Dhanyavad Mrinmoy , mumbai , India. Thank you for being yourself no matter what. I also love your energy, enthusiasm and inherent sweetness. I am really excited about finally beginning my journey into yoga, and I have you to thank for making it such an enjoyable one. I think that could be a really helpful. Like everyone here, just want to send the biggest thank you to you for these fabulous videos!! Thank you for a great series of videos.
What I need right now is a healthier mind in a healthier body so yoga was the obvious place to turn to. I always look forward to getting out the mat to start the practice. Will be keeping it up. I absolutely love your videos! Have you ever had this? I was just wondering if it means I need a better mat etc? Keep up your amazing work — you are truly an inspiration! I have been for 6 months in the Philippines I originally come from and reside in Greece , working with NGOs and unfortunately no Yoga Classes around of course.
Since I was practicing for almost a year, I found your videos and I am glad I did, cause you are a great virtual teacher. Sometimes it is boring to practice completely alone, I feel like loosing motivation. Moreover, I find you relaxing and non oppressive, which makes your teaching a lot more alluring.
Thank you for sharing with us. Dear Adriene, I am so happy to have discovered you on youtube, I just was looking for the yoga for the beginners and since then I am doing morning, evening and beginners with you! I find it just amazing, because you constantly remind us to find what is comfortable for our body, what feels right and good, I think that is what really makes one to listen to the body and to get aware of it! I just wanted to say how happy I am to have found your videos. I am reasonably new to yoga and have really enjoyed your yoga for beginners classes and am starting to progress on to some of your other videos now.
I have been practising for some time and am just coming to the end of a 2 year teacher training course so have been through lots of teachers and videos! Also loving the amount of free videos — karma yoga in action. Keep up to the good work. So incredibly pleased, thank you for all your help!
Thank you so much, Ms.
Help, Recovery, and Cures!
You inspire me to be a higher me! I was looking for beginning yoga on YouTube when I found your channel. I find it easy and enjoyable. I love how you keep it light and fun. Just writing to say that, like many people have done, you have really helped to connect with my body and to start to think about what I can do to get the most out of it! For years now ever since I fell in love with creating at the age of 14 just heading into my GCSEs, I have suffered with sciatica, severe migraines, neck and tension problems to the point of not being able to get out of bed because of the pain some mornings.
So over this summer I decided to eventually do something about it and get off my lazy BUM!

I was so involved and rapped up with my work which is important but… I neglected myself. I liked that I can do it in the comfort of my own home and not feel pressured. I enjoyed the feeling of success and how relaxed my body was becoming. I now feel in control and starting to become happier and more enthusiastic about exercise. Thank you so much you are a wonderful person! I hope to see you in the UK one day! And I hope that your yoga endeavours go from strength to strength and help more people just like me all over the world!
I love your videos!! I have been using them consistently for months now and I can really feel the positive effects they have on me. I have a request: I have a serious thyroid disorder that leaves me feeling awful most days. I know there are many yoga poses that help with this, but I cannot find whole video routines; just articles with a list of poses.
Since the thyroid is so important for everyone, I think it would be not only helpful to those who suffer from thyroid disorders but everyone who wants to have a healthy glandular system. Thank you for all of the amazing content and work you have put out. Hi Adriene, I cannot thank you enough for your youtube videos!! Frustrated and believing Yoga was not for me, I gave up on it.
It was very helpful, thorough and made me feel much more optimistic, calm, and energized when I was through. I will continue my journey with yoga, all thanks to you! Hi Adriene, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your amazing videos. Adriene Thank you so much for the awesome youtube vidoes, I am a new Yogi I guess I could call myself now, and you have made me want to practice on a daily! I have a business, travel a lot, no time.. You say exhale and I have no breath left.
How do I breath with you? Could you do a beginner video on that? If you already have, can I have a link? Thank you for being. Just a quick shout to say thanks for sharing your yoga practice with the world! To be honest, you remind me of my second, and perhaps most influential, yoga teacher.
I am having difficulty doing the yoga poses because i am not flexible. Last year i could only reach my thighs.. I am so thrilled I found your yoga e-community and thankful that you share your yoga knowledge through this channel. This weekend me and my dear husband will start practicing yoga through your videos, just in our own home burning some incense, lighting on candles. We will let you know our experiences. We already feel anxious to start. A warm Namaste from the Netherlands! I found your videos online a week or two ago. I am a fresh beginner to yoga and after searching and searching for beginner yoga videos, I stumbled upon yours and I love it!
I do however have a question on balance and strength- I struggle so much with not falling over in certain poses and find myself struggling in poses like downward dog. I know that balance and strength comes with practice, but I unfortunately find myself a bit impatient which I am working on lol. How long does it typically take for someone to gain balance and strength and to get past a beginner level?
I just wanted to say that I have always heard good things about yoga, but never felt I could do it from the few times I tried to follow. My 16 year old daughter hooked me up with your videos, and now we do them together sometimes and both follow your videos separately as well! I love your personality and the videos. I plan on exploring more of your videos in the future.
I am a fan from Ontario! I LOVE your videos. I had no experience with yoga before I found you on youtube, and now I watch your videos daily. My husband and I will often follow one of your routines after our workouts to cool down and relax. I love how you approach yoga with a not-always-so-serious attitude.
Thanks again for all your amazing work, I have never felt more in tune with my body and more at peace since you introduced me to yoga! I absolutely adore you and everything that you stand for. I started doing your videos a year ago and since then, you have turned my view on yoga completely around.
I talk about you, your channel and my love of yoga. I would love it if you checked it out! Thank you so much for everything. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and your lovely charm. Your approach to teaching is encouraging and real! I agree with one of the comments that its like spending time with an old friend which is so special and comforting when things feel bleak. I found you on YouTube and began one of your videos this morning and relaxed and laughed my way through it.
I love your sense of humour and your perspective on life already. I just started following your YouTube channel and the your blog. Just added myself to your newsletter too! Just wondering what has worked for you? I ran across your YouTube videos last week and thought I would give yoga a try again. Your videos have me hooked! Thank you for teaching with humor. I love your silly jokes! Looking forward getting back into the practice with your help!
I am a beginner an believe yoga can be very powerful for the mind and the body. I started to practice with your videos on youtube and find myself changed after a few sessions. Thank you so much, I could not expect better! I wish I could have a live session with you unfortunatelly I live on the over side of the world. I have a tendency to over-use the right hand side of my body and have been told by different doctors podiatrist, ostheopath my right hip, my right wrist and my right ankle was not flexible enough.
How can I exercise to balance my body better? I am not sure if it make sense to you… I have already made great progress and again thank you so much for those videos! I was searching for a good and positive online class and almost gave up because of all the work-out, fitness, headstand-classes. Untill I stumbled up to your site. Really humourfull, respectfull and gentle, I already feel my body getting stronger. I hope you will keep enjoying to post new classes, maybe even a little guided meditation in the future?
I know I would certainly appreciate it! Lost of gratitude from the other side of the ocean, Mary from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Hi Adriene, Just stumbled across you and thought how awesome you and your teaching are. But now I o ow I am real and you have given me the courage to do it my way. Hello Adriene, Im from Indonesia and just recently moved to another city. I used to do yoga in class with my friends, but now, i have no friends in this new city and to make it more fun, i work from home with parents overprotective ones , so I want to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your videos on Youtube as they help me to keep up with my yoga practice, and your bubbly personality makes it even better.
Your video helps me a lot, My life is a litle complicated and I am almost depressed. But thanks to your video, I learn a lot, especially your happy attitude, I am trying to be positive as much as I can and focus to enjoy yoga, Jesus, that feels so good, yoga! That washes away my physical and mental pains and negative thoughts, Thank you once again, you help me a lot!
Best wishes, Minako from France. I absolutely love your videos. I have been following your videos for over a year now. The videos have helped me to be more mindful of my mind, soul, and body. Tomorrow will be my first time instructing yoga. Any tips for a noobie instructor like me? I love your lessons! I have completed your Foundation of Yoga series, I actually got to know about the same from the app Lift. I must say it is amazing has helped me a lot apart from the meditation that I use to do Yoga has helped me be more focused.
I hope will be able to do the pose for longer in the future. I am an Organic and Herbal Products exporters and connect very well with alternate healing and meditating techniques. I have been doing your videos now for about 3 weeks and I love them. I have noticed, however, I seem to get migraines after most sessions. I drink enough water etc so I am not sure why this change in training has affected this. Do you have any ideas? Or some useful tips to help prevent them? LOVE these videos and have been doing them for a few months but I am wondering if you have some kind of routine made out of the videos you post?
Would love some guidance on a type of yoga workout schedule! Would I still get the same benefit from doing these poses on the flat of my foot instead? I am a beginner to yoga and found your videos on youtube one week ago. And since then I am loving everything! Your videos are really helping me to lose weight, and build those strong muscles.
I am taking your course along with work out exercises. I stumbled across your youtube video this morning and absolutely love your sense of humor and your yoga techniques. Thanks for providing free videos that ill now be practicing everyday! Today I was involved in a minor car accident leaving me with a concussion and a super stiff body.
Do you suggest any poses I could safely practice to work out these kinks, without aggravating the concussion? I have tried yoga in the past, but I never really enjoyed it. You are such a calming influence, really easy to relate to in your videos, and I love that you tell people to work at their own pace.
Hi Adriene, I really love to watch your youtube videos, very inspiring! I wanted to become a yoga teacher and have been looking into different classes. I was wondering what you suggest? What do you suggest!? I saw you Videos they were really awesome and I follow it regularly these days and practice it in the morning. Your share of experience is perfect. The way you explain steps is superb.
I Loved Them watching. Producing powerful feelings or strong, clear images in the mind while practice. I came across your videos on you tube and I love them! I love how welcoming and a quirky you are, you truly have a way of making me feel like I can do it! I was wondering if you could do a blog or vlog love those! Could you also share some of your experiences as a teacher and any advise for those of us considering becoming an instructor?
I wanted to say how much yoga and your yoga teaching has changed me. I began practicing yoga after m suicide attempt 2 months ago when my counselor suggested it. I noticed a change in my mind and body within a week of starting. You are an amazing teacher — I never thought it was possible to learn these things over the internet. Your warmth and peace radiates alongside your humour. Your videos help me find peace and positivity. Can you explain the different types of yoga?
Strengths and weaknesses of each, is there an idea way to combine different types for maximum benefit? You videos are so beautiful. I am a Danish yoga teacher thinking of making my own videos, but with little means. Can I ask you, what camera do you use, and do you do everything yourself? How do you edit it? I would be so utterly thankful for your help!!! I am totally blank. I have been charmed by your freshness, humour and your approach. But alone in my living room, I like following yoga videos; I must say that I love going on the mat with you, nicely guiding!
I found your youtube channel a few weeks ago, and ever since have been inspired to get onto the mat every day!
I love your videos and the way you make the practice fun and laid back, which is hugely refreshing compared to my previous experiences in yoga classes. I am currently living in Austria for a winter season of skiing.
However, I have always had problems with very tight hamstrings and achilles tendons. I live in Belgium and I really really love your videos. As a single mum I am not able to go to classes all the time but you really rock!! I am so happy I discovered your channel. It started on youtube when I was searching for some relief during my menstruation sorry for the info ;.
During all my life I always had low back pain and I could hardly sit. Thanks so much for your positive energy!! I am a big FAN!! Hope you will come over once to Belgium. I also go to a yoga class once in the week and so I know a lot of exercises for nearly each situation….. BUT there is one thing I have my little problems. I am a very sensitive girl and there are periods when the fear can dominate me.
Thanks for making my day also today because I worked for 7 hours and now, time for yoga and myself on the mat; and for bringing so much joy into this beautiful and crazy amazing thing called yoga. Thanks so much for the excellent video tutorials! It makes you realize that a lot goes into becoming strong. Hi Adriene, Im a big fan of your yogavideoes. I have used them every week this autumn. Im particulaly fond of the videos with focus on relaxation. I appreciate that there has been no background music in these videos. You are a very good teacher!
Greetings from Silje in Norway. We are soul sisters. I happened upon one of your yoga videos and fell in love with your approach and personality. Now, reading your bio, I find out you are a Libra not surprised, I am one also, and we usually jive and an artist. I always wanted to be an actor, singer, and dancer, but I never followed those dreams and now I am a massage therapist and tarot reader. I DID accomplish the dream of working for something I love and having a healthy lifestyle.
No matter what, I try to live a life of love every day! Anyway, glad we could connect and I am glad to have your yoga vids. Keep living the life! Just wanted to say thanks for your incredible generosity in sharing your videos! Your teaching is great. Now I love flipping down the mat, eager to get started and I feel so good! Thank you so much for your awesome style of instruction. I guess I needed another Texas girl to guide me! So glad to find you! I want to thank you so much for posting these free videos on youtube! I have always loved yoga but cannot afford to go take classes.
I always got frustrated and quit. Now I look forward to your videos, still getting bk in the groove of yoga so doing some beginner videos and foundation videos, but I am happy to do them. I never knew to find what feels right, and now I am gaining more flexibility and strength!! You are a wonderful teacher because you are silly, you show when you are sore, you show you are a real person! Like many others, I came across your videos on accident….
Because of you and your videos, I now try to get in at least a few minutes of yoga everyday…I usually follow one of my favorite videos of yours. Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you do.

One of the hardest things a Paruretic has to deal with is the feeling of isolation. This is where support groups come in. Furthermore, it gives you the opportunity to put your personal situation in perspective. The perspective can be valuable by minimizing the perceived degree of your condition. The result is a desensitization to the fear. In the support group, you may be asked to construct a list of public toilet scenarios ranging from slightly anxiety-provoking to very anxiety-provoking.
You then pair up with someone with a similar list to yours. Finally, you can meet up once a week and attempt to overcome each step, one at a time. The bottom line is that this technique works.

Well firstly, you need to write down all the negative, illogical, inaccurate, and destructive questions and statements you tell yourself.
Some will be able to do this by simply thinking about it now, others will need to recreate an anxiety-provoking toilet scenario to identify the dialogue. Take a subtle look around. See how many people are actually noticing you. Bladder shyness is a strange phenomenon; so many people have it approximately 17 million , yet no one is willing to talk about it. Your out together at a ball game, and both need the toilet at half-time. What will they think of you? What if they tease you in front of everyone? Your mind is on high-alert.
Not because there are genuine dangers in the toilet, but because your best friend someone you trust wholeheartedly is unaware of your suffering. Not only does this help avoid scenarios like the example mentioned earlier, but it also gives you someone to talk to about your condition, and most importantly; someone to practice with. They can pace behind you, they can chat to you whilst you pee, the list goes on.

At the start of the list are those that only provoke small levels of anxiety, the further down you go, the greater the anxiety becomes. It helps to rank the scenarios out of 10; 1 being slightly fear-provoking, 10 being extremely. Each attempt at the step desensitizes your fear. Persevere , because the more you confront your problem, the less daunting public restrooms will be and the quicker overcoming shy bladder will be. Paruretics experience the physical problems of a condition that originates in the mind which is the very definition of a psychogenic disorder.
As you well know, the mind is an extremely powerful instrument that we only have partial control over. One does not visit a butcher for bread and a baker for meat. If you want help with a physical condition you visit a GP, if you want help with a psychological condition you visit someone trained in that area. See if you can relate…. John is 34 years old and has suffered from Shy Bladder Syndrome for as long as he can remember.
He recalls an event that occurred during his early teens at school as the cause of his condition. His attempts to urinate at a public urinal were hampered by several older boys entering the area and teasing him. John literally froze up. We attempt to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. From then on, whenever John entered an environment that his senses recognised were similar , he perceived it as painful.
His brain therefore interpreted the situation as one that is not safe and that should be avoided. However, on the other hand, it shows how easily it picks up unwanted routines and how hard it is to break them. Shy Bladder Syndrome is a condition that you learned. Urinating in public can also be learned.
