Namaste Adriene,

I have been doing Yoga with you for almost a month now. I'm trying to stop smoking and it's helping (down to 2 to 4 cigarettes a day from about 15 a day). I enjoy how calm, relaxed you are and allow for self expression through out the experience.

I would enjoy a picture or a better description of muscles being stretched and/or used during each position. Example would be Downward Dog: I feel a stretch more in my hamstrings/calf muscles (can't get my heels to the floor yet) and maybe more muscle use age in my wrists/shoulders.

I hope to find my smoke free day soon. Thanks for the free videos.

Sincerely,

Chad

I am scared of inversions, in general, I don't know why I have the feeling I'm not going to be able to get back to the initial position and I'm going to break my neck or something scary, but I'm working towards facing those fears, and slowly progressing from bridge, and trying to get to shoulder stand... Can I give you my request? If possible, I'd love to have a video of foundations of yoga for shoulder stand (and all the progressions it has, which are many :/). Meanwhile, I'll try to face my fears from the mat, so I can face my everyday life stronger and more confident :) Thank you for being there!

Hi Adriene! I've been working on crow lately and I love seeing and feeling progress in myself. I've been watching your shorter videos to use as study breaks, and I'm here to request a study break playlist! It would be great to have a few different short sequences to choose from, that both energize and relieve stress, for those late nights when we need to stay up longer but shouldn't let the stress get the best of us. Thanks for everything!

Today I randomly decided to do a Google search, after many weeks of Pintrest browsing, to find a quality beginners yoga video. To my ultimate surprise Yoga with Adriene was the first thing that popped up. I did the 20 minute video for beginners and then couldn't help but check out the channel and the website. Everything looks so professional and just the 20 minutes that I did today has inspired me. I love that Adriene is her goofy self in the videos and isn't too worried about having everything perfect, because we all know none of us are. Anyways, what I am saying is THANK YOU for setting up these videos and this wonderful website! I live in Texas so I am a lot closer to her than I thought I would be, now I know I HAVE to make a trip to Austin soon. Good luck on all of y'all's yoga journeys, mine started today!

This was the best thing that I could have read this afternoon. Anyone who knows me will say that I'm a huuuuuge worrier and I worry about almost everything. I can't wait to try out this challenge and really try to take control over my thoughts so they don't dominate everything. I'm so thankful that I found your yoga videos on YouTube and get to practice yoga because of it! Thank you!!!!

This was a perfectly timed blog entry. I was just thinking about all of the things that scare me and how to get over it. I happened to come to your blog after doing my yoga watching one of your videos and this was the newest entry, I was beyond thrilled that you had some amazing advice and yoga poses as well as meditation for me to think about. Thank you so much.

Hello Adriene :) This news letter is good timing. For some reason, today was a little messy, anxiety wise. Not to sound strange (and I know my increased awareness and sensitivity is a direct benefit from my yoga, home practice :) but I was aware of a heaviness that kept trying to rest upon me. But each time I would recognize it and face it, it would dissolve. I decided to go out for a run and do errands while out. While in a local farmers market I noticed anxiety kick in to the point where I wanted to hurry out of the store after my initial purchase, even though I knew I needed to go back and buy some dates (my favorite sweetener). I got outside and it felt like a wall was keeping me inside a place of anxiety (I also had to jog to another farmers market because that one didn't have any coconuts in stock (my favorite quick energy snack), but all I wanted to do was get home. While slowly walking in the direction of home the other part of me, the freer, date and coconut loving part, shook off the non-sense, went back into the first farmers market for the dates, and jogged down to the other farmers market for my coconut! It's funny, when I chose to bypass anxiety I was back to my free self (notice, I did not say "my anxiety" but I did say "my coconut":). I'm so glad I did not let anxiety rob me. Balance and growth, you said it all Adriene...beautiful and conscious-full news letter!!
