Day 17 falls on American Thanksgiving day 2017 for me. Stillness in discomfort is exactly what I needed to practice. I can apply this to my running to hold on to the edge but, more importantly, I can remember this as I get together with family and friends today. My son generally becomes overwhelmed in these large gatherings and I often feel as though he misses out on the enjoyment that it can bring. Today, I will try to practice stillness in our discomfort, meeting our edge and finding new levels of enjoyment or at the very least calm in the storm of our overwhelm. Thank you!

Whassup party girl, it's an understatement to send you heartfelt thanks for this wonderful journey. I'm 57 and have dabbled in yoga on and off for about 20 years... but never for more than a few superficial weeks, because I got impatient with being unable to do party tricks straight away. (I have a book, "Learn Yoga in a Weekend," which probably tells you all you need to know about my previous approach, especially as it has hardly been touched!) ;) Doing your classes makes me realize that (a) I've never actually learned much about yoga in all the group sessions I've done before, and (b) that I was always pretending to enjoy it, instead of actually getting into it! No wonder I gave up! Now, I can't wait to do your daily session and it always seems to go too quickly. And I realize, thanks to your gentle encouragement, that I'm actually making good progress. I absolutely LOVE the way you have an uncanny knack for warning me against the very thing I'm unconsciously doing -- even just a subtle shift of toe pressure. By adjusting, I can feel the difference immediately. And after completing 18 days (OK, I started late!), I can already feel changes in my body and my relationship with it. Your 31-day revolution really IS a true revolution in so many ways -- not least because of how you keep emphasizing that how we do things on the mat is going to change how we do things off it ... which makes it all the more powerful that you insist we find our own "feel good" -- surely the most important (and sometimes difficult) thing to achieve in daily life (though it gets easier with practice). What an amazing person you are, truly inspirational. NAMASTE! xxx

Thank you for this amazing, settling and comforting practice. It may be because I listen to your videos through headphones when I practice, but I swear I could hear your heartbeat throughout most of the video (creepy) but also incredibly touching and heartwarming (ALL pun intended). It was a deep connection I felt with you and also myself, so I must thank you for that!

Cannot wait to continue my practice with you!

Namaste!

Friends at work have asked about the changes they've noticed in my body and energy. I've invited them to join in the 31 Day Yoga Revolution. They've picked up on how much calmer and more radiant I seem now. I'm so so happy with how Yoga is helping me. Thank you Adriene. Namaste from Malaysia. :)

I wondered the same and found this:

So, I might be "the tree of yoga"? I'll look for it

In reply to Martin. So refreshing to know that men can be emotional! And do yoga : )

I am 54 and started this yoga revolution about a month ago and am just now on day 17. I am plugging away and just wanted to say thank you! Adrienne, you are so good and instructing and helping and making me feel accepted even doing any modifications, I am in my own practice and it is ok. You are also so funny and I love that you have a passion for yoga but don't take yourself too seriously that you can't be silly or just have fun! love you dear! Don't stop please!!

Facing an epic life change where nothing will ever be quite the same again. Struggling to find peace, to breathe, to be. Praying for the answer and I find you. States away and you offer me the peace I seek. The reminder to breathe, the reminder to smile. If only you knew the change you have brought to my life. 30 days in of doing yoga every day, here with you.....I can breathe. I can feel the chains loosen. Of course God is involved too... but thank you. Thank you for your part. Thank you for your time, your knowlege. I don't know you, but I love you. I pray God may send you the joy and peace you have brought to my life, that you may feel it. Thank you.

Dear Adriene,

Today I really got home very late, but I could not possibly dream of missing our practice. I just had to get on the mat and follow you through this marvellous Day 17!!!! I will only sleep 3 hours and a half but am just sooooo delighted and joyful that I made it through this day!!!! Thank you so much for pointing the way for us on this Yoga Revolution!!!

Lots of light and Namaste from Buenos Aires!
