In reply to Kate. Hello Kate. I am a daily yoga/dressage/martial arts fan about to have surgery for breast cancer next week. Have you got any tips for videos that allowed you to get back to practice even when you did not have full mobility of one arm? It sounds from your post that you liked into options in some detail...

In reply to Sara Arabova. I just had a wow moment :) I am fairly new to the youtube channel and website and loving it! I recently just connected with a friend who because of a conversation we recently had, sent me an image of "the four agreements" I paid no attention to whoe wrote it but immediately saved it on my phone. I just joined the book club, read this post and there was this post. I had no idea a book even existed. This website, my friend and this book have all come into my life when I needed it most :) How cool is that?

Hi Adriene,

Just wanted you to know that your videos are adored and loved on a daily basis all the way from Texas to the Isle of Wight, UK. I "practiced" yoga at this once-a-week class about 3 years ago where I'd show up, attempt a downward dog, stretch a bit, then gather my shoes and head home and not touch it again until the following week. You have changed all of that for me. I now feel connected and rejuvenated through watching your videos. I feel like it has opened up this whole new world (queue little mermaid music) and for that I am so so so so so grateful to you. Thank you from every little cell in my now slightly stretchier body.

Lots of Yogary Love,
Amber

Yes it does! Having struggled with chronic anxiety for quite some time now I've struggled to find anything that helps, but this year things are starting to change. The first step was recognising that I have spent so much time fixating on the future that I've spent most of my life ignoring (let alone finding time to appreciate) the present. The second step was working out how to get out of that rut. I tried some basic mindfulness techniques to start with, but had trouble shifting my overactive-future-bound mindset; until I started yoga, my essential step three. While finding the physical movements therapeutic in themselves, using my body to assist my mindfulness training has also helped provide my practice with some much needed focus and me, some much needed reprieve. On that note, I just wanted to add a massive thanks to you, Adriene, as I've found your videos immensely helpful, and can't wait to see more! Big love from Australia. Mia

Your wonderful videos were so inspiring that I wrote a story this morning about the things that are helping me start my journey to a better self and your posts were a big part of the very start of my journey. So thank you. I've struggled with depression and anxiety and now I am on an exciting new path. I don't write this to make money or get hits, its just to share with anyone who also might be feeling lonely, lost, depressed, disengaged or just flat...
Here is my little story, you may want to read, or may not... either way 🙂 Have a great day.

Hi,
I have more of a general question and looking for some feedback. I started yoga last year to help with stress and it worked amazing. But I strained/ tore my Achilles tendon while doing downward dog. It took months to heal and know I want to get back into it but I don't want to re-injure it. I have been doing weekly yoga again and I can feel during routines that its tight and sore. Does anyone have advice or have had similar issues?

Hi Adriene, I have been following your videos for awhile now. I discovered yoga when my life was forced to slow down following a breast cancer diagnosis at 31. Three years on and a relapse later, I am picking up the pieces and trying to build up a body broken down by gruesome treatments. Yoga has been my refuge and gave me such strength, focus and escape from everything happening in my life. I might have never had this time to discover how much I love it. Your videos are great and allow me to get back on the mat without overdoing it. I wondered if you thought about making a yoga video geared at breast cancer survivors as yoga has been shown to help through treatment and recovery. There are very few options out there on the internet. I find some of the movements are challenging post surgery so options with chatarunga for ex would be great. Thanks again for putting out fantastic energy and easy to follow videos. They have been my go to pick me up when I energy is running low. Kate from Norway

Hi Adriene, I felt compelled to send you a small note here. I've spent the last year (!) injured, ill, and downright depressed. I've been itching to return to my normal yoga classes, but felt really self conscious and weak. Thankfully, I found your videos on YouTube and I've been working my way back in the privacy of my living room with you as a terrific guide. I can't thank you enough for providing this service to me. Namaste!
