I struggle with body and breath anxiety too. After running from my abusive husband two years ago, I've been completely focused on healing. Intensive therapy twice a week and daily meditation, research, and learning that my body needs to heal as much as my mind does. I teared up twice during this video. Repeating this practice will help, I'm sure of that now, until its time for the next step in my healing journey.

Deepest thanks to Adriene for releasing these videos. I will learn to feel safe within my self, trust and love myself...with practice and dedication. After I do, I want to learn to help others learn to love, trust and feel safe with themselves.

Thanks Adriene your classes are helping me get through this quarantine it's so helpful and grounding.

This type of question should be directed to your primary care physician. Even a physician would require you health history. Take it slow and like any fitness program, check with your doctor before starting. Adrienne cant give medical advice, yet several people reply with physical concerns after a workout. It's just not fair to expect medical advice. Who knows why you experienced this, it could be many factors. Make an appointment with a doctor, and remember...2nd opinions are usually always necessary. Best!! 🙂

Thanks for all you do!

I work at a university and we’re currently running a pilot of a lunchtime yoga initiative with teachers in training from a local studio. Sometimes the teachers need to cancel, leaving us in an awkward position though.

I was thinking of making “Yoga with Adriene” a weekly lunchtime event and playing some of the videos on a projector for people who want to do yoga at lunch when an in-person instructor isn’t present.

Can you recommend a couple of videos that would be well suited for this sort of audience? I was thinking of something like a standard series of poses (sun salutations or whatever) without very much dialogue.

Anyway, let me know what you think if you have time to respond!

Hi, use the search function on this website and search for "grounding". It will pull up a list of Adriene's grounding practices. She has a lot you can choose from to help balance out your practice with grounding practices. Best wishes as you grow your practice. 🙂
