I won't bore you with my personal challenges, but suffice it to say that I have fallen in love with yoga because of you. The benefits to both body and mind are huge. The relief of pain, stress, and menopause madness is more than worth the time spent on the mat. Just wanted to say thanks for making your programs available and easy to follow!

Thank you Adrienne.

I think self love and self acceptance is the yogi way. I would rather see a "Yoga For Body Acceptance" video any day. To me, doing yoga to change my body goes against the whole point of yoga! Yoga is for embracing what is. The love must come first, and that is what yoga can bring. I tell people I do yoga because it helps me feel friendly with my body. Never because I"m trying to look a certain way. xo.

I love yoga (and your videos) because it encourages you to let go of judgement about your body. Peace, love and practice xx

This spring I have had a real challenge with a depression and when I was about to loose my path - I found you! Thank you so much for your great philosophy!
NOW I feel great and full of energy, and have decided to take a yoga teacher Training. Do you have any teacher trainings? Your philosophy is so great, I would like to learn and share with yogis in Sweden 🙂

Namaste
Therese

I think you are absolutely wonderful!!! You have helped to renew my love of yoga by encouraging me to listen to my body's needs. I was having a hard time finding a studio that worked on teaching people to become good practitioners of yoga. Sadly most of them just seemed focused on doing poses and not building up fundamentals for not-that-new newbies like myself. You have made my at home practice so enjoyable, and it helps that your adorable personality shines through your work. Thank you so much for everything, and thanks for helping me love my body!!!

Take a look at an artistic anatomy book, or, if you're feeling adventurous, try a figure drawing course. These are great ways to gain a greater appreciation for the special creation that each of us is; fearfully and wonderfully made.

This was so cool for me to read -- I definitely relate to learning how to heal severe self-image issues via yoga. BUT not just any yoga! Finding YWA's channel on YouTube last summer helped me, too. Besides discovering yoga is my "thang", Adriene's philosophy towards caring for the spiritual, physical and mental being is what has catalyzed this profound shift in myself over the past year. It's been getting easier for me to see my own body as one that enables me to do tons of strong things -- my mind, too -- and it's so empowering! I'll totally be repeating the 30 days of yoga.
Thanks so much, Adriene!

I, like many others I have seen throughout your social media centers, have been so moved by you and your beautiful spirit. Your Day 8 meditation video quite literally moved me to tears as I was overwhelmed with a sense of love and support I felt washing over me... from my own self! You are enabling so many others to find and explore the power of our own spirits with the serenity and warmth that you yourself emanate into the world. Thank you and namaste

Kelsey
