Welcome! Thank you for joining me for the 30 Days Of Yoga experience! As we transition into the New Year I already feel great about the idea of practicing for 30 days straight. I feel excited about challenging myself, connecting to myself, and learning something new. I am grateful that my body is able to move, that my breath is capable of deepening and I love that I will be doing it with so many others, around the globe. The hardest part each day will likely be getting on the mat. Make time. Stay focused and choose to make the experience your own. This 30 Day practice is intended to support you in finding what feels good in the New Year. So, though it may be challenging to make time for your practice – just do it – knowing that it is okay to adapt, change, modify, rebel and do your own thang at any time. But get on the mat. Take conscious breaths and stretch each day as a way of connecting to your intentions, your big picture, and ultimately, complete wellness.
Join Adriene on Day 1 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Ease into your 30 day experience with an open mind, kindness, and curiosity. Use this DAY 1 practice to take stock, check in with the body and mind. Begin the practice of slowing down, noticing, stretching and moving with ease. Commit to 30 days of breathing deep and listening. Acknowledge the distractions, the frustrations, the parts of the body that need more love or are in healing. Acknowledge it all! For this journey is about more than just a flexible, strong and tone body. It is about full mind, heart and body wellness. Begin here to set the foundation for a connected home practice. - FREE and in the comfort of your own home! Get empowered, find what feels good, listen to your body and let's have some fun! Cultivate positivity. Remember each day is different! The journey is the reward! See you tomorrow!
Join Adriene on Day 2 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Stretch your body and soothe your soul. Relieve stress and ease into your 30 day experience with an open mind, kindness, and curiosity. Use this Day 2 practice to stretch tight muscles and soothe the nervous system - even an achey heart. This first week we take time to connect to the big picture and a full body experience. Practice staying present as we deepen the practice and learn vocabulary to play with on our mat. Practices change from day to day - and get shorter towards the end. Stick with it! Take this time for yourself. Have courage to take the time for yourself! Get empowered, find what feels good, listen to your body, and don't forget to have some fun!
Join Adriene on Day 3 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Forget What You Know About Yoga! It is so easy to slip into automatic pilot. For today's sequence, come into a beginner's mind. (Bonus if you are a beginner and totally new to yoga!) When we come to this idea of beginner's mind - we open up to all possibilities. Use this Day 3 practice to check in with balance and connect to your core center. Let go of expectations and stay receptive as you work to build strength and unlock more space. Again, open up to making new discovery! If you are regular yogi, this practice will be a great opportunity to change it up. If you are new to the practice, ROCK ON, you have that beautiful beginner's mind already. Seek opportunities to learn - especially in the difficulties. Everyone, close your eyes when you can, move mindfully, and trust yourself. Breathe. Breathe slowly. This revitalizing and strengthening sequence is great for balance, core & hip check in, and supports good posture!
Yoga for your back! Stretch and strengthen your back with the power of the breath! Use this practice to awaken the spine and meet your edge. Tone arms, legs, core and stay connected to subtle body movement with the breath. Stick with it! Take this time to see to notice how Yoga practice has your back. Get frisky! Or at least, remember Yoga is not so serious! Modify as needed and keep a sense of humor. Keep finding that breath!
Join Adriene on Day 5 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Feel Alive Flow! This practice will help you shake off the blues to feel revitalized and fresh again! Use this Day 5 practice to check in with the breath. Let the breath be the soundtrack to this practice. Notice what it feels like to be ALIVE today. Meet your edge, but don't take anything too seriously. Today is a reminder to have some fun! Smile and stretch it out. Give thanks! You are ALIVE! Yoga helps up notice what it feels like to be alive and in the moment. Give thanks and enjoy!
Join Adriene on Day 6 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Six Pack Abs! Yogi style. This is a shorter practice to tone the abdominals in a mindful way that feels fun and supportive! Also, almost everyone wants more core strength and tone abdominals. You asked for it! Use this Day 6 practice to check in with the core. Mindful core training will support your entire practice and whole body health. While tone abs are something we all fancy (me too), core strength training is so much more than washboard abs or a flat tummy. By building core strength you are supporting the the back and all of the muscles that surround your dear spinal cord. By working those muscles, we are taking some of our weight off the spine and engaging the entire body. We are more likely to do active, engaging things when the body is strong & engaged. Great for runners, dancers, movers and shakers! Great for grounding the spirit.
Join Adriene on Day 7 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Total Body Yoga! This practice opens up the side body and invites you to create space as you build total body strength.

Join Adriene on Day 8 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Yoga For Healing & Meditation! Whether you plan to mediate after practice or whether the practice IS your mediation, use this slow and juicy sequence to guide your body and your breath. Day 8 invites you slow down, cultivate balance and CONNECT. We open the hips in this sequence and use the subtle power of the breath to find release and let go. Connect to your spirit, soften, stretch and relax. If you are used to moving fast, this may be a challenge for you. Enjoy the rejuvenating and restorative benefits of yoga and meditation. This should feel AWESOME after the first week of the 30 Day Of Yoga Journey. Relax and enjoy! You deserve it.
Join Adriene on Day 9 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Full Potential Detox Practice! Meet your full potential and come into your power with this vigorous - but loving - at home yoga practice. Day 9 invites you to embrace your full potential! This is a fierce practice that is great for the digestive organs and abdominals. Perfect if you are feeling bloated in the belly or looking to tone to strong lean muscles. Very beneficial for those who suffer from IBS, constipation or stomach discomfort.

Celebrate your body, your breath and so much more. Let's get started!
This is what Yoga Camp is all about! With Yoga Camp we ask - what is the point of a rigorous workout if you still are waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror and not loving what you see? What is the point of 50 chaturangas if you look in the mirror and don't know who it is you see? Who cares if you have a rocking body if your mental wellness is a hot mess! Can we live a rich and beautiful life if we don't love ourselves? I am so incredibly inspired by your willingness to ask the big questions, do the work and tend to not just your physical fitness but your mental health as well. I believe this is a way to true self-compassion. Enjoy your practice.

You can experience this video on the couch, in bed, or on the mat. Watch till the end! The yoga practice starts with Day 1 tomorrow. This is designed for us. All of us. To come together as we are. To uncover aspects of ourselves that are already within, and celebrate who we really are. Trust me, trust yourself, the map is already within you. Prepare to work hard, get strong, find ease, and have fun!
Yoga provides us the tools for getting to know who we really are. This journey is about reuniting with your self through regular practice. Through the process of getting to know who you really are, you will find that you need not prioritize the where, or the what, as much. You just have to be brave enough to look inside and recognize who it is you see. The opportunity is to be who you are and recognize where you are, today. The choice is to do it honestly and with kindness. In our first practice, we apply this to asana and open up to the postures serving as opportunities to make discoveries. We ease in with a powerful practice of observation and recognition. This is your longest class of the series, one in which sets the tone.
In our Day 2 session, we take the proper time to add a layer of intention and consider this part of the foundation. Cultivate a relationship with intention and learn to let it guide the way. Your intention has the power to directly influence the quality of your practice and your connection to yourself. Pro-tip - make your breath a priority. Learning to be disciplined about intention brings purpose to your practice. It also keeps your body safe, your mind more at ease, and opens up the gates for whatever you are moving toward - to come and meet you, just where you are. When this happens you may find yourself feeling more aligned with the process, and in a happy flow state - no matter what your day is like or what exactly goes down on the yoga mat.
It’s Day 3 and in this session we jump right in with all the right gestures and questions. What, if anything, is lying dormant or inactive? Are there things you are capable of but you have not embodied or seen to fruition yet? As the great teachers before us remind: the mat is a mirror. Today’s yoga offers a way to wake up and uncover. But please, dear friend, take this with you… Awakening is a process. Awaken a fire, a kindness, your magnetic presence, stir stagnant energy. Your inner world awaits! Be patient with short muscles and stiff joints. This practice includes one of my favorite tools for moving energy and getting out of a funk.
Activate your energy centers and introduce an overall awareness of the energetic body. This is a key player on this journey HOME. Activating is part of the awakening process. For me, when I activate my breath, I am awakening to my true spirit. From awareness of my breath, I keep going, working to bring action and awareness to my feet, my midline, my abdominals, my glutes, you name it. Devote to this practice and you might just activate your damn truth and abundance. Or, at least you will continue to lay the foundation for a fulfilling, sustainable at home practice. Stay open! This flow is a practice that takes you through the alignment and activation of the entire body. Enjoy!
In today’s yoga practice we ask, “Am I working harder than I need to?” There is some work today. (You have to wait till Day 8 for a total RELAX.) You are working, but not any harder than you need to. See if you can let your breath do some of the heavy lifting today. Experiment. Learn to soften around hard edges. Practice softening in hard times. Can a rise of a breath guide you into a pose? With regular practice, I start to experience a feeling in which I am living in a body that is working for me, rather than against. Pro-tip: activate your breath - and let it do the work for you.
Your Day 6 yoga is the ultimate core power practice. You are a lot stronger than you think. This is a process! Trust it. Utilize the tools that we have introduced thus far, starting with your breath. This practice includes a lot of philosophy to ignite more than just a fire in the core muscles of the body. In the midst of a targeted core practice, who knew you could learn and love so hard? Prioritize that. This core strength session is all about valuing presence over outcome. Be present with what is. This is what the yoga practice lovingly asks of us. This session may not be easy. It really is not designed to be. I talk about why at the end of the practice. Choose to have fun!
Your Day 7 yoga practice begins with a little self massage and yoga philosophy - so if you were thinking about missing today’s practice - don’t. This hands free session offers an opportunity to re-balance the body after your first six practices, providing relief in the shoulders and wrists while initiating grounding energy to help you get in the right mindset for week two. This is not just the bendy stretchy stretch practice you might anticipate. No way, we said we were going all the way HOME. Stretch your mind’s eye, your imagination, and your awareness a little further beyond the physical body today. (Don’t fret, your body will get a nice opportunity to stretch it out too.)
It is easy to spot and own our physical wounds. But our emotional wounds seldom get the attention they need for real healing. Innately we know, even if you don’t understand, that it’s all connected. Yet, we often feel we lack the time, the space, and the tools to sincerely tend to what ails. At home yoga provides us an opportunity to heal ourselves. To seek and work to find a way to check in, recover, restore, and begin again - each time we show up. Today’s low to the ground moving meditation reminds you that your only task is to listen and respond. And to be honest about it. I hope you enjoy this session and find a moment to relax whatever might be gripping, to let go of that which is no longer serving you, and to Find What Feels Good. Bring a blanket and a pillow, if you have them at hand.
We begin week two highlighting the power of self-inquiry. Consider the idea that our practice is not one of “doing,” or one of imminent mastery, but rather one of self study. This is key for the journey HOME. What feels good? What doesn’t? What feels honest? Can we begin to close the gap between how we feel and how we want to feel? This time is about examining your self. It’s not about doing it right. When we approach the practice through the lens of self study, we find that we have everything we need to both gracefully and fiercely move toward what serves… and to move away from what doesn’t. Honor your inner voice. Celebrate the learning process.
Today’s offering is a standing yoga practice that is most necessary for us to move forward on this journey. It’s 18 minutes that should fly by, so whatever you are coming to the mat with, try to stay focused and take yesterday’s inquisitiveness with you. You might find that it’s easier to find your breath when you are flowing in and out of shapes. See if you can find that same depth of breath today as we ground in new asana vocabulary. Take whatever you are working with today and make a home for it. Allow it to teach you, serve you, reflect back to you. This is a practice for the mind and body. Ground. So we can grow. I got your back!
On Day 11, we jump right in with a dynamic flow practice to replenish your soil. If you like, please take a couple mindful breaths to tune in before you press play. In today’s practice, try to give your thinking mind a break, dropping expectations and patterns of judgment. I know it’s easier said than done, but use your tools. Namely, the sound of your breath. Feel it out. Loving reminder: You have everything you need here. So move mindfully and take your time. If you are not in rhythm with my guidance, that is okay. Move at your own pace. Work where you are today. (There are so many layers to play with!) Darling, allow yourself to… dig in.
Day 12 offers an efficient and therapeutic practice to nurture the mind and body. (Plus some sneaky core!) This is not about sweeping whatever you have going on under the rug so you can get your workout in. Nah. Yoga doesn’t play that way. Or at least, not our practice. Trust your practice. Trust that you are being led to the right place. Nurture. Please do not underestimate the power of stillness. So take that sweet sweet savasana ending today and bring a blanket if you have one. Take good care of yourself.
Let’s grow our practice, shall we? I am so excited to continue to expand on this home practice and create a vocabulary together. Not just in the shapes. But also in the way we approach and the way we listen. Make room to grow. Today’s session encourages you to make space so you can fill it with new discovery. Have you had a taste of your own potential lately? Are you giving yourself enough time and space to continue to grow and blossom in new ways? This is a flow that is designed to help you build strength, and endurance - in the most therapeutic way. Remember, you have to bring the breath. Own it. Inquire. Ground. Dig. Nurture. Let’s grow.
If you started this journey out seeking transformation or craving a change - consider this: in the philosophy of Yoga, we are not actually ever working towards the goal of becoming someone or something that we are not already. We are already that thing. That which we desire, we already possess. We are not trying to step out and change, conform, or embody someone else’s idea or concept of who we should be. This is a return. Expect, a juicy hip practice that engages the whole body. As we stir the pot today, anchor your thoughts by choosing something specific that you want to return to.
We are at the halfway mark! We did not say that it would not be challenging to show up for the full 30. But darling, yes, we are here! We celebrate Day 15 with a strong, rejuvenating flow designed to guide you to your comfortable edge, promote healthy blood flow, and guide you towards a connected RESET. I cannot describe the true power of knowing when and how to hit the reset button. I practice this on the mat and then I find this power with me off the mat, showing up when I need it most. A connected RESET isn’t always comfortable. But trust it. Try to find something new today! The breath is your number one tool for RESET. Make use of it. You are doing great!
Happy Sweet 16. And oh, is it a sweet one, designed for you to SAVOR! Take the invitation to really focus on your exhalations today. In fact, don’t be shy, go for it. Really establish that exhale today, Okay? Learn to savor the moment. Allow one present moment to bleed into the next.
Today we synchronize our watches, our hearts, our brains, and the movement with our almighty breath. In this session we work to re-pattern the rigid beginnings of our past and find our renewed sense of self. This slower paced, gentle practice invites you to focus on grounding through the feet, working with the currents of energy through the back and front body, and the marriage between the movement and the breath. If you are feeling a little tired today, heads up, I got you. In fact, you will stay on the ground in a comfortable seat pose stretching it out for about the first 10 minutes. Look. It’s all about connection. Take the time to seek it, play with it, unlock it, use it to bring yourself back to savor the moment, over and over again. Stay open to the small (or large) ways in which these practices can show up off the mat.
Today’s practice does move, but it will start with a lesson on surrender. Surrender as a pathway toward home. I invite you to use what we practiced in day 17, linking the breath with the movement, and incorporate that into today’s flow. Remember to take a breath of gratitude. This is valuable time you are giving yourself. It’s a gift. You better believe it. Believe me when I say make it your own. Believe in your own intuition. Embrace the slower paced action to find that inner intrinsic work that is most valuable and necessary for when you are thrown off balance. Work from the inside out based on sensation. This is about working with your body. Not on it. What would it feel like to wake up each day and have a practice where you believed in yourself?
Balance is our natural state. I like to think that this notion of coming home really does make sense, because we are not trying to achieve balance, but rather return to it. The path to balance isn’t always in the “doing.” It can be about the undoing. Both require listening. In addition to your daily alignment work, this flow lights up the energy we’ve been cultivating this entire journey. It includes two sets of plank push-ups and some balancing work. But don’t let that intimidate you. Instead, acknowledge what it took you to get here. Look how far we have come. You should feel proud.
Let this day 20 day motivate you to stay on the path, dear one. 10 days left. Today’s session could be special, inviting you to be still… in so many ways. Building on the last few practices, we continue to work on finding action within alignment and continue to mindfully build on core strength. As our vocabulary grows, maintain your connection to the foundation. Remember, it doesn’t always have to be harder, faster, stronger. Come into stillness, notice where your thoughts go, and let’s keep exploring.
Do not fear, nor be wary of this BOOST practice. This session will provide. We will begin with some workshopping on the floor, continuing to explore and establish core connection. Core connection that is sustainable and truly serves. You will also get a little internal organ massage, boosting the health of the organs and the immune system. Who else will be able to say that they received that today? We work with a pranayama called Breath Of Fire today. Fair warning, animals/pets love this one. Be willing to receive the benefits of this incredible practice via your breath. I will guide you, but you have to bring the breath. I know you will.
Stir it up! This is a slow flow class to soften out the hard edges, inviting you to continue to pay attention to the sensations in the physical and emotional body. I love regular daily, at-home yoga practice because I really get this sense that every time I show up, the practice is catching me on any given day. Wherever I land, with whatever I am bringing, the mat has my back. What if that were true? Our exploration in yoga practice can stir up some powerful mind and body work. Continue to slow down your breath, move mindfully, and stay open. This practice (and this whole project) is designed to support you and have your back. Stir it up, little darling. Notice what it feels like to be alive today. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle. Create space. If you are this way on your yoga mat, you are more likely to be this way off the mat.
With so many distractions these days, our ability to focus or refocus our attention is beyond valuable, in fact, it’s paramount. Today’s 20 minute session should fly by but will require you to dial inwards. For how else will you balance on one leg, my dear? The invitation today is one in which you can focus or re-focus back on your WHY. What led you to go on this journey in the first place? Remember, the goal is not to aspire to transform into something you have not yet become, but rather to return home to embody everything that you already are, fully. In this session we will focus on neck and shoulder relief, spinal flexion, and use what we’ve learned so far to maintain balance between the left and right sides of the body. Use the flow to build heat and enjoy the process of learning to find your balance. Pro-tip: work with your breath and lead from your center. Where attention goes, energy flows.
Today’s session is a quick 16 minute practice designed to stimulate and elevate. Uplift. This practice invites you to keep an open mind as you continue to build strength and condition. Do not be deceived by this quick vinyasa flow, it packs a loving punch with a focus that moves from your center. The journey continues. Remember the hardest part is showing up. Your core is calling! Enjoy this gift. Give it to yourself.
Today’s session offers you a chance to take it easy. Invite in stillness, a sense of calm, relax and unwind. In this restorative practice, we will work to increase flexibility and target areas of the body that may feel tired after your last week of practice. With the tempo of this therapeutic practice, you really get a chance to re-focus on sensation. Take it. Enjoy it. You deserve this. Bring a pillow and a blanket with you to this one if you can, because I have two words for you…
Drop into the moment today with this special practice that invites you to pull back another layer and look inside. This session asks us to look at our patterns and to take stock of our habitual side and its power. The tools of yoga invite you to get in the habit of keeping the things that work for you and gaining the awareness to notice the things that aren’t working for you. It’s about listening and responding. Keep what works, let go of what doesn’t serve. In this practice, we continue to work from center and the midline, still working to nurture a strong foundation in order to build strength from within.
The at-home yoga practice provides us the ongoing opportunity to begin again. This journey HOME offers a worthwhile opportunity to learn about your body, integrate the breath, and ultimately explore how to move better. I invite you to consider what it means to move well. We approach today’s practice with a willingness to explore what it means to integrate. Try to think of the body as one complete moving part, versus a bunch of different units. Then, notice if that changes the quality of your breath and the quality of your movement.
You don’t need to understand the science of yoga to experience it. And this session will prove it. In a lot of ways, the journey HOME is about simplifying. Peeling back those parts, those habits, those layers that take away instead of give back. It’s about reuniting with the type of vibration that gives life and connection to your relationship with yourself and to the big picture. When we take time to notice we can start to pay better attention to the things that nourish. But don’t forget, “simplifying” and “nourishing” don’t connote easy. We can build sustainable practices and rituals that serve. This can have a direct effect on how we carry ourselves, energetically, posturally, and in the way you hold space for yourself and for others. We will also take time to nourish parts of the body that could be a little bit sore from the past few practices. When we nourish ourselves, we can better serve others.
Oh Day 29, my luckiest number, and the most special practice that provides such a beautiful opportunity to listen to your inner voice, your higher self, your best teacher. Today, I invite you to find freedom within the form. Don’t decide where it ends. Embody it. Listen. Pay attention. Respond. Intuit. This is a powerful practice that starts with a good dose of spinal flexion and ends with creative core. Look, we have come a long way so I intuited that a little Wu-Tang boat pose was most necessary, for me. Don’t forget… it’s okay to have FUN! Use your breath to bring yourself back home, darling. We continue to play with our vocabulary today before our final session, Day 30. We are almost there, though I must gently warn you… tomorrow’s practice will be different. But the same. (Cool, Adriene.) It is all a part of the journey, which is most certainly the reward. The process is the candy. See? Honor the time you’ve taken to listen and hone your intuition.
Today’s theme is what it is all about. The Journey on home. One that is unique to all of us. For this practice, it is a Day 30 tradition for me to take the microphone off. Can you trust me? Can you trust yourself? You are going to use the vocabulary that we have learned together thus far to choreograph your home practice and to create your experience today. You have the tools. You always have had everything you need to uncover and to reveal what matters most. This is such a beautiful day because, for me, it really does embody the spirit of Yoga With Adriene and this exchange that you are participating in. It is this essence, or spirit, that says, “Hey, I am taking care of myself in my little corner of the world, but also… I am right here with you. I got you.” Try to keep an open mind, please move slowly, and as always, prioritize your breath. Use me as a reference or a guide. You have everything you need. Trust it. Trust it all.
It is happening! Today’s video is a bit of an orientation, a warm welcome, and an official kick-off. We will begin with a few easy group breaths to enjoy, and recognize that if all you do is arrive here to breathe, you are winning, golden, exactly where you are meant to be. You can consider this a practice day for your upcoming practices if you like.
Your first yoga practice is here, and it is a full one, packed with valuable invitations! We begin by taking things nice and slow. You will soon feel more fire, you may move fast, but this series asks you to be disciplined about bringing awareness to the deeper layers of your practice - with breath. What makes this 30 Day series unique is that these practices are designed to work together 1-30, not just as one-offs, though that is time well spent too. This series is a process with intention. Today’s practice is all about listening, respectfully setting the tone, building foundation with slow and with purposeful movement. Thank you for joining me on this journey and for sharing this connection with so many people around the world.
With each breath we have the opportunity to begin again, to arrive in the present moment. In this foundational phase of this journey I invite you to see each new practice as a new arrival. Accept and celebrate that each day will be different. Some days you will have more energy than others. Some days it will seem as though the universe is supporting you to show up, eagerly, and fully. Some days your brain will make it very hard for you to arrive, and it may seem like the exterior is winning over your interior goals. Make your #1 goal to show up on the mat. Self care is learning the practice of meeting your self each day, learning about who you really are, and continuing to arrive to devote to the process of self discovery, not perfectionism. With each breath, a new arrival. It’s a powerful tool, and one we are going to cultivate and celebrate together.
Today’s lesson invites us to focus on anchoring the thoughts of a busy mind with the tools of our practice. If you are new to meditation or to yoga, this can be a bit of a challenge, so in this session I introduce a very useful breath technique called Ujjayi to help us train the brain and body to focus as one. To learn more about the breath technique featured in this video, you may watch my Ujjayi Breathing video here. On days where your mind is in the future, or maybe your heart is in the past, this breath can help you ground in the present. The mantra today is… My breath is my anchor, my anchor is breath.
Listen to the feedback that every gesture gives back to you. Rather than just doing the poses, or doing yoga, trust that the practice really is an art of listening. Listening and responding. Our vocabulary grows today as we continue on our explorative journey, kicking it off with diaphragmatic breathing. Most people do not breathe as well as they can, and I do mean MOST. We continue with intentional and intuitive movement to improve our posture today, why? So you may breathe better, my dear. Re-training the posture is one of the best ways to ensure you are breathing deeply and efficiently. When we are breathing deeply and efficiently we invite a WHOLE WELL of benefits our way.
High five! If you make it to day five, you can do this whole journey. Today’s practice focuses on how the power of a true breath-led yoga practice can shift and replenish the whole package. When we train our body to support deeper and more efficient breathing, we will begin to experience benefits that can shift, transform, heal, and center. A true ripple effect of good health, alignment, and therefore the right energy to create, play, work, serve, live your life fully. Today’s session is designed to help you stay curious, to feel how your energy is shifting, and to invite a full replenish to balance out drain. You are doing great!
Day 6 is here, and it is a 30 Days Of Yoga tradition that on day 6 we focus on the core. Core centric practices are great for toning muscles that support strong and optimal function (read - less back pain) and, let me just get this out of the way, you will be working all of your abs into a fine fiery burn. But this type of work can also be really healing and centering. Core work, similar to balancing postures, encourage you to take stock and embody the present moment as a way of creating sustainable strength and stamina. While it can sometimes feel discouraging, it is most necessary that you take on the task of beginning where you are today. This is how we evolve, it’s how we learn to know ourselves better, and it is how we get stronger. Notice what it feels like to be alive today. Burn away that which no longer serves.
Today’s session invites you to feel the love that you are and that you deserve. We commemorate week one and phase one of this journey with a yummy vinyasa practice. Your Day 7 practice includes some gentle and delicious dynamic movement to help you continue to free your spine, ribs, shoulders, and neck. Synchronize your watch, your heart, your brain, and your movement to your breath.
Who wants to snuggle? (Besides Benji.) Bring an extra blanket or towel and a pillow to the mat today for this restorative practice. Wear something extra comfy! Lay that extra blanket down if you like, and let’s snuggle up to the sensation and rhythm of the breath in today’s gentle floor practice. Today’s practice is nice and slow and low to the ground. Medicine for the legs, the hips, the torso, and the spine. But also hopefully some feel good medicine for thine heart too. Don’t miss it. Get on the mat today. Note: If you don’t have any of these extra props, don’t worry, just come as you are and it will still be really snuggly.
We ease in to practice today with a breath technique that can help balance out the brain and body. Alternate Nostril Breathing, also called Nadhi Shodana, is an incredible tool for activating the parasympathetic nervous system which can restore balance - particularly if you are consciously, or subconsciously, living more in fight or flight mode - which is common in such uncertain times. We will introduce the powerful play of opposites in yoga asana as well, considering the ways in which we may join steadiness, or STHIRA, with ease, or SUKHA. I will guide postures today that are there not to discourage you, but to help you play with the concept of how to create a dance for both steadiness and ease, and one that is individual for you. I invite you to use this material to check in, learn, and grow. Remember, it’s not about being able to stand on one foot. Learn the process of centering yourself, and remember, it’s a process. If you fall, I will catch you. You got this.
May you enjoy connecting the dots of each present moment today in practice… via your breath. Taking the elements of Sthira (steadiness) and Sukha (ease) - we move from awareness of breath into the second stage of this journey. Ready to go to the next level? I believe you are! Remember, this is time for you to get to know yourself better, stay curious about your truth. It is uniquely yours. I think you will really like today’s practice. Because while the journey can be challenging, connection can feel really good.
In this BREATH session, we focus on the concept of flow, providing tools for practice that may lead you to explore the ways in which you may be working against yourself instead of for yourself. We will begin standing today, taking time to ground before we explore different tempos and rhythms. This is not meant to throw you but to help guide you into new territory for a deeper discovery. We continue to learn new vocabulary as well as integrate what we have learned so far to align and find freedom within the form. This 22 min practice invites you to continue syncing up with your breath in the most loving way and is designed to leave the whole body feeling tended to.
The breath is a dear friend that you can drop into conversation with anytime, anywhere. The quality of that conversation will change from moment to moment, day to day, week to week, year to year. The awareness of this ongoing conversation might change your life. It did mine. Gently dropping your ties to the exterior and taking time for yourself is not selfish. When you arrive on the mat remember you are there to experience your body, and your breath. You are there to snuggle up to your truth, what feels like home, what feels honest. Take the time to drop in. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!
The most important aspect to focus on when it comes to the home yoga practice in particular, is not that of perfect timing, ideal energy levels, or fancy gear. It is that you are taking the time to check in each day to connect to your self and to your source. To me, this is a beautiful, complete, and highly productive act of self love and self care. Each day is going to look and feel a little different. Keep this in mind as we continue to progress on this journey. Building on yesterday, we keep our discipline but explore how we may “drop the doing” and Find What Feels Good. While we want to continue to be mindful and disciplined about our alignment and action - when we begin to allow ourselves to make intuitive decisions based on how we feel - our experience on the mat can really feel like one that serves and supports the real you. You may begin to observe this practice show up off the mat too.
Your day 14 practice is a fun and therapeutic session with full conscious breath to guide the way. We focus on creating sensation and space in the body, learning to breathe and move with efficiency, mindfulness, and even sometimes joy - so that when we step off the mat we can continue that practice. This way we may proceed to learn and live with more ease. This way we have proper energy in the tank to serve others more fully. We are approaching the halfway mark! If you would like, take some time to write about how you are feeling (physically, mentally, and emotionally) after experiencing the first 14 days of this journey! You may find some helpful writing prompts from me in your Day 14 Breath email. This is your time, this is your practice. Take up space, darling. You are so worthy of it all.
Consider each new breath as an opening. Enter. The breath is a doorway. Welcome a sense of playfulness and a willingness to not make any decisions about how this is going to go, stay open. We are building strength, resilience, and reinforcing meaningful connection. After today you will be halfway through this journey! Hit the refresh button as we approach the second half of our quest for conscious breath and dive all in. Notice what, if anything, is changing or evolving. Find something new.
We are slowing things down today as we begin the second half of this journey. I will introduce some foundational elements for the next wave of this journey, as well as offer practice of a new technique called breath ratio. Breath ratios are breath patterns set to counts. They are a wonderful tool for expanding your awareness and ability to control your breath. They are also full of transformative potential and wonderful to pull out of your tool kit when you are feeling mentally, physically, or emotionally stressed or lost. They can be short, or long, but they do require a bit of focus and yes you guessed it… discipline. This whole session is low to the ground with a nice therapeutic breath for the arms, shoulders, and wrists. As it is seated, do sit up on your blanket if you have one. If you need to do some or all this practice in a chair or on the edge of a couch, do it.
Your Day 17 session is an integrative session to help guide you to build sustainable strength and make discoveries that keep you motivated. We will gently continue to build strength today to encourage noticeable muscle tone in the legs, the glutes, and the entirety of the abdominal wall. We will also continue to release stress or tension that lives in the neck, the shoulders, the chest, and the upper back. How do you really know how you really feel each day unless you take the time to check in and explore? Remember the hardest part is getting on the mat. Our journey continues… exploring the body... on the quest for more conscious breath! To be honest, this 32 minute practice is the whole package, designed to ground you in the now… but also to prepare you for the week of practices ahead.
Building on yesterday’s exploration, this practice is about noticing if you are willing and available to check in with your true self each day. This is one of my favorite practice themes and HUGE in my personal body of work, which asks, “What is my relationship to center?” Please do not miss this session as I include some of my favorite lessons for growing your practice both in asana and yogic philosophy. If you want to advance, do this work. Step into your power. Learn how to move from center. We ease in today, so if you are tired or feeling unmotivated, I got you. Practice slowing down at the beginning of this session, then join me as we mindfully layer to POWER postures. We will connect to subtle body gestures to make deeper discoveries that may (they will) support you both on and off the mat. If you are already wondering what you will do when the 30 Days is over, don’t worry! I have a red carpet of options ready for you. I will share them soon.
We gain an immense amount of strength from having a conscious and loving relationship with our breath. It is poetic. It’s practical. Today is a bit of a conditioning practice. Don’t fret! Remember, you can do hard things. However, strength practice is not just about sculpting and toning, though hear me loud and clear, this ongoing practice will sculpt and tone, it just will, it’s true. But perhaps more importantly so, this type of breath led work, which is what yoga is, can guide you to gather and build strength in more ways than you could ever imagine. Enjoy the relaxing end of this session today! STRENGTH in stillness! Don’t miss it. This practice has depth.
Take 16 minutes to pause. The focus on breathwork continues today, with an introduction of gentle breath retention. Building on our breath ratios, we will learn to implement a small conscious pause between our inhalation and exhalation… and the exhalation and the inhalation. Think of it as a circular thing. Breath retention has loads of benefits and is safe to practice slowly with mindfulness. If you have serious cardiac and hypertension problems, you can skip it. Stick to the counts and enjoy the benefits of ratios as we all continue to learn to re-pattern so that we may breathe more optimally. Your ocean breath, which we have learned and used in previous sessions, is a perfect match for Kumbhaka. Combine the two and explore!
How you move matters. Today’s central theme is not just designed to guide breath control, but to also roll out the red carpet for you to expand your mind and your relationship to the mantra Find What Feels Good. What is it like to focus not just on the WHAT, but even more on the HOW? The same way that you have to bring the breath, you have to bring the awareness of how you are doing something. You get to design how many layers, you get to pay attention to the details… or not. You get to decide the flavor. How you move matters. The art of quality control. Both on and off the mat.
The next three practices are meant to be a trio, a holy trifecta, the best of friends. Today’s session invites you into contemplation on what it means to renew. As with many of these practices this theme is meant to be thought provoking and applicable in more ways than one. Chewing on the philosophy of yoga and dropping in to wherever you are today, we continue to put the puzzle together, remembering all the wonderful vocabulary we have learned together thus far. The practice of renewal is powerful! It is one of my superpowers for sure. Anytime I find myself in the struggle zone, I slowly pull this practice out of my tool belt, and find my way back to center with a reverence for both the struggle - and my ability to make my way out to move… forward. Before I established my renewal practice through regular yoga I found myself on a hamster wheel. Maybe you can relate? If you need it, take today to restore and renew your commitment to this journey.
When we take the time to enrich the quality of our relationship with ourselves we are directly influencing the quality of all other relationships. This session highlights how yoga practice can be a practice of devotion, a dedication to one’s self, and the way in which that is connected to everything. We continue to dedicate time, attention, and energy to finding conscious breath. Today’s contemplation is split into two parts with the invitation to really devote this time and exploration to what feels authentic and good for you. And, to understand or stay open to the fact that this is not just for you, it is for everyone who may cross your path too. Can we build love and awareness within, dedicate to that, so that we can share it freely with others? We don’t stay in our bubble of awareness - we cultivate it to expand it and share our gifts. If it is difficult, remember this is a practice, it is a training, but we can choose to dedicate ourselves to showing up.
The practice won’t always leave you feeling rejuvenated. But I love this idea of coming in close contact with the awareness and understanding of what it feels like to bring energy to something. Often we are energizing things that are not serving us, whether it is through our thoughts, actions, our daily rituals, our habits. This practice gives us the tools to notice that where our attention goes… energy flows. Today we begin with the breath of fire, to stir the pot energetically, and give you the juice you need for this rejuvenating flow. What are you ready to bring new energy to?
It’s a love fest today. A big one. A brave one. Each time you show up it is an act of love. A Whitney Houston high note kind of act. I very much believe that half (or more) of the battle is showing up… so get there, my dear, and begin to feel the love that you deserve. Fall in love with the sound of your breath. This is sacred space that we have been cultivating here. And today, I boldly invite us to acknowledge that. We put a lot of the elements from previous practices together today. I hope you LOVE it.
You have a beautiful 17 minute practice today, so don’t you even think about skipping it. This session is a great one, once again inviting you to dedicate some time to drop into conversation with your breath. This one is also designed to assist you in putting a lot of elements of previous lessons together for more discovery! Get ready to learn something new. Expand your mind. Expand your breath! You are doing this. Trust you are here for a reason… It’s meaningful. Welcome healing. Welcome potential. Welcome discovery. Welcome expansion.
Each time we show up it’s a new day. Some days it’s as though all is seemingly in the flow, and some days it feels heavier, darker. Our practice offers us the opportunity to pay attention, to notice, and even prepare for the spills and the dark moments. And while we cannot prevent them, nor should we, the dark moments are a part of life and of our existence. We can use these tools and our experiences on the mat to prepare for the tough moments. And for the moments where healing occurs, or the moments where healing is possible. The practice offers us the tools and awareness to help prepare us for the important moments on our journey. You have been working hard. I think it is so beautiful and heroic for you to keep showing up in this way, it’s not easy. It is remarkable, and you are building a habit for utmost wellbeing. Bring your blanket to class today, if you can. If you want, bring two. If there is time, take a moment to set up your practice spot with intention.
Today we focus on trust. The art of listening and responding. But what are we listening to? My cues? Your body? What else? Peel back another layer of onion and open to your hidden truth. Listening cultivates trust. Leading with your breath creates an environment for trust. Trust the process. Uncover your hidden truth. This session is solid. I am so excited for you!
Believe in the power of your conscious breath. Believe you are on your path. The invitation is both simple and profound today. It invites us to recognize how time with conscious breath, contemplation, and mindful movement can lead us toward genuinely believing in oneself. Trusting oneself. Trusting the quality of that relationship as you continue to change, transform, and grow. We continue to ride the wave of the breath and remember, the mat is a mirror. Trust your vocabulary. Trust the integrity that you have been bringing into this practice. Tomorrow is our final day of the 30 Day Journey. The invitation will look a little different, but the goal is to begin by finding what feels familiar… and then be open to where your breath leads you. If you can, set aside an hour for Day 30. If that just made you panic, use the tool of your breath to stay open. We bookend this journey with two long sessions. I am giving you a gentle heads up that tomorrow will be different!
In every end is a new beginning. Today’s practice is an acknowledgment that the breath is always there for you. If you are ever unsure of how to begin again, may this practice remind you to start with a new breath. On this final day of the journey I take my mic off and practice with you, alongside you. This is a tradition I have incorporated since my very first 30 Day Yoga offering, and to me this journey would not be complete without this ending and this invitation. Don’t panic. You have the vocabulary, you have the connection. You have it all. Allow one breath to lead you to the next. One present moment to the next. As your guide, as your friend, I will still be here with you. You may always use me as a guide. Trust your vocabulary, trust the integrity that you have been bringing into this practice. If all you do is lie down on your mat and breathe for the duration of this practice, I think that is great.
Join me for a group breath. Let us gather. Today is orientation day! This welcome video contains some tips to support you on your 30 Day Yoga Journey. We also ask the question, “What do I want to move towards?”
Meet yourself here. The hardest part will be getting here. It won’t be any pose or bind. The hardest part will be arriving for your daily practice. So let that be named. It’s day one, and this practice invites you to come as you are. We show up as an individual, but together we can make big moves. Be patient. Small gestures, make big waves. The journey starts here, right NOW.
In this session we create open space for new discoveries. It will require your attention and focus, so start with your breath. I don’t have many rules in practice, but one I do have is this: the breath always comes first. Your brain and nervous system will be continuously regenerating as you experience the 30 days - gaining new knowledge and feedback. Build a new foundation with your breath and you will receive more benefits from your journey.
Today we take a look at expansion & contraction and how our awareness of these two gestures can vastly improve function for us mentally, physically and emotionally. This is a practice that invites you to not only stretch your body, but to stretch your mind too. I’ll be guiding quite a bit with my voice in this practice and the coming practices. Let go of expectations and enjoy this time to explore. Remember, the breath comes first.
Rich foundational work continues in our Day 4 Flow session! While we will get the blood flowing and heart pumping today - this session is an opportunity to check in with the mental and spiritual parts of yourself. This is, in fact, what the ancient practice of yoga is all about. Today’s session is a loving training for the brain and body. Perfect for those who have flow experience, but even better for those entering with a beginner's mind. Use your breath and the vocabulary we have created thus far to fall into your flow state today.
When we take time to deepen the relationship with our subtle body and breath, we are creating a sense of wholeness, of feeling complete, more true. This can then lead to us feeling more confident and more capable of loving ourselves. And that of course can have a beautiful ripple effect, a movement beyond ourselves. So as we begin to add more vocabulary and depth through visualization and imagination remember: how you move matters.
This journey is designed to create a sustainable connection and strength in your core. While today’s session successfully targets the full abdominal wall, it is not just about your physical core muscles. Your daily practice is also a tool to guide and help you distill your core values. Shine a little light in the dark places today. Connect or reconnect with what matters most. Or as the great Mary Oliver once put it, “Be ignited, or be gone.”
Today’s session is designed to tend to the mind and body with comfort and nourishment. You deserve it. Today’s practice is also detoxifying and delicious for the brain and spine. Stay on it. You deserve it. The more you show up, the more you practice receiving the nourishment that comes when you take this time for your brain, your body, and your heart. Stay tuned in and you might feel... Small flutters of joy, A strange sense of comfort in discomfort, Small moments where our vocabulary joins to tie the world together.
From a neurological perspective, creating a strong body and positive mindset happens one neural connection at a time. This is a beautiful opportunity in our journey to embrace and celebrate the fact that transformation and healing require some time, training, and practice. Consistency and compassion are key. Today’s practice is designed to help you embrace your process and journey by slowing down and learning how to rest. Wear something extra comfy if you can. Grab a blanket, maybe a pillow too. *If you don’t have any of these things handy and you are just squeezing this in, no worries. The important thing is that you show up for practice.
Get ready to say hello to your abdominals and your glutes, while giving your brain a nutritious boost. Today we continue to build a strong base for which we can explore, release tension, and boost stamina… and faith. This is a fun practice! Notice how your relationship with your breath changes with each day. Dig in. Stay curious. Find What Feels Good.
Need a pick me up? I got your back. Today’s session is a YWA special. It’s all about specificity, details, and how we set ourselves up to move on the mat. Because how we set ourselves up to move on the mat is how we set ourselves up to move off the mat. We are fine tuning our awareness and our attention today. We are setting the bar for the next week of practice, and for the next season of life. If you are faltering, losing steam, feeling your limits tested - in this journey or in life, this practice was designed for you. You bring the breath, I will guide the rest!
Explore your range of motion and improve your relationship with your brain and body. This is vital in the home practice and extremely beneficial not only for how you move throughout life but to set yourself up with a daily practice you can sustain and grow. While we have been working on core stability and hip stability, in order to balance the flexibility you are no doubt already exploring/seeking - today’s session is all about neurological control and strength. We are talking range of motion, joint health, decreasing injury, and increasing tissue health. We are talking integrity. How well can you actively move yourself? Meet me on the mat today for a mobility practice that means something.
Today’s session highlights the importance of focus in yoga, as well as the myriad of ways in which daily practice can support your mental concentration and productivity. ***Yoga is a discipline*** Focus is a practice. And the focused gaze has rich meaning both on and off the mat. This session is not about crocodile breaths, creative squats, or eagle pose. It is about our willingness to learn how to focus our attention with awareness.
The journey unfolds! We continue to add vocabulary and play with the right and left side of the brain and body. Stay open and know that you are worthy of this experience and this time. You are not alone. There are many others putting this powerful puzzle together with you. We ease into this practice with some lovely floor work to stretch, support a healthy spine, and encourage you on your journey to build core strength that sticks around all year. Just like all of these practices, we are showing up to improve function in both brain and body. Use the breath to accentuate your experience as we explore half moon, standing splits, crow pose and more.
Your yoga practice is an opportunity to know, understand, and enjoy yourself more. This is your time, your body, your breath, your story, your brain, your reality that you’re creating for yourself, so make it about you. When we create safe, healthy spaces for us to make it about ourselves and listen and check in, then it has an incredible ripple effect on how we show up for others. Your practice is about you. And it’s OKAY to make it about you. So get a little bit closer now. To you.
Knock knock… it’s me. YOU MADE IT to DAY 15! Today is a mega RESET day, embrace it and watch it serve. For the next two weeks we will continue to grow our vocabulary, generate new connections for the brain and body. With all my heart, thank you for trusting me and for sharing your practice.
Today’s session is all about grounding in the good stuff. You can do this! I know it’s getting more difficult to show up. I told you it would be challenging at times. We have been preparing for this. And for all the difficult moments off the mat too. I am sharing one of my secret life tools today: A mantra to anchor you - in almost every way. “My breath is my anchor, my anchor is my breath.”
Today is a snuggle day! This session offers a beautiful blend of hip, core, and sideline work. All breath led, this practice is like a healing broth for your brain, body, and spirit. We will MOVE today, but a couple of cozy items on hand.. can’t hurt. Bring a blanket or pillow if you like. Snuggle up. Give yourself grace. Stay open to being moved. Trust the power of your consistent devotion to showing up for yourself. Day 17 ends with some breath work and contemplation you won’t want to miss. Stay with it, till the end. You must. You must. The journey is the reward.
Tasting every move. Paying attention to sensation. Staying present and not pretending. Today’s session offers an incredible opportunity to deepen your practice. Instead of working (too) hard to fit the mold of expectation, these yoga practices invite you to be present with your experience, no matter what it is. Savor the moment! Allow yourself to feel and taste everything on the mat. Honor this bit of time that you have carved out for yourself.
Your daily moves continue to connect and expand with day 19. This session is KEY for the MOVE Journey. Each day, a set up for the next. Remember, the process is the candy. Thank you for moving with me, in this way, during this time. I truly believe that through our regular exploration together we can find healing and create meaningful change inside ourselves and out in our communities. No doubt you are getting stronger and more curious as we move along. Let’s keep going.
Have you noticed how you have been getting ready for practice? What are the little things you do in order to mentally and physically land on the mat? Light a candle. Pour a glass of water. Close the blinds. Or open them. We have made it to day 20. Whether you did it in 20 days or more, there are ten more practices left in this series. And the last ten days are my absolute favorite. Today we are embracing and celebrating the intention behind showing up and the intention behind your movement, and how powerful that can be. A little goes a long way, don’t forget. Follow the sound of your breath and nurture your brain and body. The next ten days are really about embracing the ritual of the at home practice. What makes it a ritual? Let’s explore…
It’s all about quality over quantity when it comes to the experience of connection. When you think you may not have all the right ingredients (time, energy, self love, clean floor, clean underwear, etc) to connect to yourself in a worthy way - think again. This practice proves you don’t need a lot to find that quality connection with your self. You have everything you need.
This session and the practices to come are devised to bring you closer to your gifts. Not mine. Yours! Find the courage within. It will carry you forward. The more we are able to recognize and move within what is, the more courageous we become by aligning with a flow state that serves us, that allows us to shine.
As you may notice, by Day 23, I start to have a little more fun in my leadership here. I hope you take it as a great reminder that this is a training designed to improve your quality of life. I find softness in yoga is a discipline. It at times feels almost like a lost art form in popular western asana. Today’s practice invites us to have fun, to notice how you feel, and soften to the present moment on the journey to find balance in opposition. If you want to get stronger and feel more secure, implement softness.
The world has changed. We have changed. For me, the 30 Day Yoga Journey is an acknowledgment of our shared deep presence and of the moment we are all in together. This session highlights that and addresses our individual and collective need for processing mode. This powerful layer of the practice is about healing. It is about honoring our growth. Create space to allow for PROCESSING. So that you can see and be safe and held in the moment, not avoid it. We are in this together.
Through daily yoga and breath practice, we develop a deeper awareness of where we are holding tension and trauma. No doubt you have at least once walked off the mat feeling as though you were carrying less stress than when you stepped on. This session utilizes movement and breath technique to highlight the powerful ways in which we can use the practice of mindful awareness to lovingly and safely tend to what triggers. We are in the home stretch of this journey. Lean in. Let go of that which no longer serves. I got your back.
Today’s session highlights what I believe this journey and these practices are ALL ABOUT. Take a breath. Learn how to fall deeply, totally, completely in love. And move from there.
Today’s strength practice is vital as we near the end of our journey. It is an opportunity for you to experience and even celebrate your WILLPOWER. This session is about recruitment of deep muscles to not only tone muscle mass but to improve brain function. It’s true! Movement and especially core work can change the structure of our gray matter. In my mind you are ready for this level of understanding and ultimately a new level of motivation. Do not be intimidated by today’s session. It is designed to carry you to a new level of understanding, and to assist you in CELEBRATING how miraculous your body is. Here we are highlighting strength based practice that helps you feel amazing. So thus far, and on into our next days of practice, keep moving, my darling. When you want to throw in the towel, don’t. Stay with it and you may have your own delightful secretion of chemicals that travel to your brain to make you feel happier, energized, and less stressed out.
Today’s session provides a little tender loving care, a little TLC, for your brain, your body and your heart. Yoga works. I have built this practice to equip you with the tools to feel empowered in the many moons of your life. Daily practice isn’t always about maximizing. It is about meeting yourself where you are. Ask, how am I feeling?*** And then ask… How do I want to feel?*** The way you respond to this question with breath and through movement is what this journey is all about. Two more days and then we will engage in our final MOVE session together, which will signify something special. Heads up, tomorrow will be our last day of guided sessions as you know them thus far - we have a purposeful surprise awaiting us on Day 30! Stay open. Show up. If you are already wondering what will happen after the 30 days is complete, don’t worry, I have us covered.
While many move to look good, we move to feel good. My loving advice for you today is to think about your yoga practice as a training for how you want to move through your life. I hope you have felt a sense of belonging on this journey. It is the foundation for the offering, and where I build from. Trust, this experience is meant to be. If you are ever in a tight spot, at a crossroads, or unsure how or where to move next… Find your breath. HEAR IT. Trust it. Trust your awareness. Your gut. Heads up, we have a purposeful surprise awaiting tomorrow for Day 30! Today’s session is a perfect set up. Do you trust me?
In our day thirty tradition, I am taking off the mic and inviting you to practice alongside me, and thousands of others in the same moment. What does that mean? It means, you won’t follow my verbal instruction today, nor should you feel the need to match my moves. You are the leader today. I am your friend practicing at my own pace alongside. This session is different - and yet, in my mind, the perfect way to seal our journey. Use the vocabulary you have to create stability and softness. Listen to your breath for cues on when and how to uplift, snuggle, savor, and explore. Cultivate love and courage with curiosity and focus. The goal of this session is not for our practice to match - but for us to celebrate our connectedness through our individuality and truth. This is the last session of our journey, choose how you want to feel. Rest when you like, breathe like you love yourself, and trust me, trust yourself, trust the process, trust it all. In every end is a new beginning.
Find your Center. Today is orientation day! Let’s call this Day 0. A clean slate. Are you ready? This is the day to get yourself oriented. Set yourself up for the next 30 days. Soak in your intentions and prepare for this journey designed to support whole body mental health! It’s also a chance to gather any props (nothing fancy, you can get creative!) and invite any friends or family to join you.
**The most valuable part of a centering practice is the courageous act of showing up.** This series may look like a lot of core strengthening exercises, moves for a healthy spine, good lymphatic flow, releasing tension and decreasing chronic pain. But, it is truly about learning and knowing who you are. And perhaps you will never know the power of this 30 days of centering with me, unless that is you show up. Happy day 1! Check it off on your calendar when complete and I will see you again tomorrow!
In this practice we embrace a key element to the centering practice. How to listen is such an important part of this journey both on and off the mat. When you wake up each day, when you arrive on the mat, what are you lending your ear to? When we tune in to what brings us life on the yoga mat, we start to notice this spill into other areas of our life. It becomes not just about what is capturing our attention, and what (or who) is the loudest. But rather it becomes about what serves you and what feels right for your mind and body.
Today’s practice offers up the following question: Where do I want to create a meaningful shift in my life? This series is a good workout - but it is not to be experienced only as a workout series. Remember, it is designed like a good book. One page, or practice, leads you to the next.
In this session we continue to build the juicy foundation of a centering yoga practice that promotes whole body mental health. If it is all connected, tend to the root. This video is designed to help balance the energy center that supports you in feeling home in your own body. This grounding practice nurtures the foundation that will carry you to new places.
My practice has shown me and continues to teach me all the ways in which I can absorb my own care for myself. And my journey in neuroscience has helped me to back up all the reasons why hugging your self matters. Meditate on this as you move today. High fives all around! Seriously. We are doing this! For some, today’s theme may seem a little cheeky. But have you ever stopped to ponder the power of what it is like to feel your own embrace?
Day six is spicy, it’s shorter, and it is one of my favorite moments in this journey. Yoga is poetry. And what many perceive as “core work” is in reality a deep layer of the centering journey. One that really highlights the questions: Where am I moving from? Where do my gestures come from? **Why do these questions matter!?**
The thing about integrating flow into your practice is you really get right back to the very foundation which is allowing the breath to fuel the action. Begin to be disciplined about this on the mat and watch the myriad of ways in which your breath will show up to serve and guide you off the mat. Hop into something comfy and let’s flow. Today’s offering is all about brain, body, and spirit connection.
A day to soften, find stillness, and keep up with the practice of using your breath to tell your brain that it is okay to shift gears. Bring some props if you like! A pillow, a blanket or two. This practice reminds you that these moments on the mat, however they may look and feel each day, are for you to be with YOU. This session has a lot of gems in it, so get cozy, *notice how you feel today* and let them wash over you.
Your Day 9 practice is a heart centering practice. The journey progresses as we continue to add fresh vocabulary to our asana (physical poses) and breath, as well as go deeper into the philosophy of yoga. In this session we consider the mat and our daily practice as a safe place to merge the conscious with the unconscious. This yoga practice is one that invites you to move from the energy center of the heart.
Yes, this is an energizing sequence. No, you don’t have to have the energy to do it. That is precisely the most beautiful thing about true yoga. The practice will show you how to shift your energy. Trust me, all you have to do is show up and listen. This is the way I like to guide all of my yoga offerings. Both for myself and for others. This is the practice of listening and responding your way back to center. Consider this practice a check in with the energetic body. Only 18 minutes, you got this. Thank you for letting me be your guide.
This 24 minute session is yummy and will fly by. I understand that it is difficult to get motivated to the mat each day. And that some days are way harder than others to carve out the proper time to practice. I acknowledge all of this and yet - this journey is about making a good habit of centering the whole body and the whole spirit for mental health. It works when you show up. Let’s get started!!!
In this 21 min practice we immerse ourselves in the art of tempo. We offer up space for ourselves to be seen, to feel and to work-it-out. See what happens when you slow it down. This session and the week of classes to come offer a great opportunity to practice returning to the role of the observer. Remember the hardest part is showing up. You can and you will!
One of the biggest practices that my relationship with yoga has shined such a light on is the practice of learning and embodying trust. I believe it is at this point in the 30 day journey where it is valuable to shine a little light on how powerful our relationship with trust is. And perhaps maybe take a little stock in a safe space to do so. Are you able to relax your shoulders, your drive to accomplish, your habit of self judgment today - and trust the process more? Today we will play with some fun breathwork and for the rest of the journey you will see practices that average 20 min in length - with shorter practices in the coming days to support you in keeping up this good work, a new habit perhaps that will serve you for the rest of your days.
Let’s stretch it out! The body, wherever it needs. The mind that will not want to show up. Come to the mat today for a wonderful stretchy sequence that reminds you why you started this journey in the first place. Stretch the possibilities as we near the halfway mark!
In my 9 years of guiding this style of yoga series, I have learned that Day 15 marks the perfect moment in the journey to practice checking in which allows us to evoke a very helpful and real mind-body reset. Through breathwork and movement technique we remain loyal to the process, in a sincere effort to live in the present. Oh my is the next week of this journey fun! Don’t miss it. Today will set you up nicely, but remember… You have to show up!
You are worthy of loving kindness. Especially your own. Today’s practice is a love note in action. Our Day 16 session asks us to move however we need to be moved and to remember that the more loving kindness we can implement during this time on the mat with ourselves, the more we will notice it start to trickle out into our relationships and the world. You may make some new discoveries today and in the coming week. Pay attention to your self talk. And remember - I am genuinely here for you, in your corner.
These practices are designed to help you learn and experience the way in which everything is connected. While this practice targets the shoulders, chest, neck and upper back body - continue to see the body as one moving part. Research has proven that daily movement can be powerful medicine for anxiety and depression. We have the science to back up the myriad of benefits of mindful breath work, especially when practiced with consistency. And, I have said it before but I will share again that strength training with less pain and more joy has provided me with a relationship with my body that I never ever thought possible. Remember, this is a come as you are situation. Get out of your head and into your body, let’s move!
Ground in your gaze. This practice allows us to reconnect and balance our mental, physical and emotional energy states through a training of the gaze. I have learned first hand that training your gaze to serve your nervous system so that you feel that the world is working for you instead of against you - is one of the amazing benefits of regular yoga practice. What are you choosing to give your focus to? Remember, where attention goes, energy flows.
Using your time on the mat to tap into your intuitive and creative side is medicine for the mind, the body and most certainly the soul. I am honored to be your guide. This practice invites you into a safe space to practice, play and nurture a deep listening to your creative expression. Learn to do this on the mat and you will learn how to dance with life off the mat. It is not about perfection, it is about keeping all possibilities open!
This 17 minute low to-the ground practice is a perfectly timed restorative session. It is short, it is so very sweet and it offers a chance for you to ease in and out of practice no matter how your day or your life is going on right now. Bring a blanket and or a pillow to the mat today if you have them. No worries if not.
Today is about celebrating the physical, mental and emotional conditioning you have cultivated and experienced thus far. By now you may have noticed the ways in which some of the poses are starting to feel different. There are days where your body is tired. Those days will exist and it is on those days we ask the mind to focus and be strong. On other days you will notice poses that were once unstable and shall we say humbling - are now sturdier, engaged with a greater sense of ease. The body feels stronger. The strength may also come from having the courage to know when to rest. This is when our emotional state takes priority and is considered. It is important to remember the strength comes from showing up. Not from any one singular approach but from a commitment to cultivate a regular or daily practice of centering.
Each time I invite you to align your attention to the present moment, I am aiming to show you that you are indeed an adaptable creature. On the mat we move, we shift, we make adjustments. So it goes with life. The more we learn to trust ourselves, the more pathways we open up to move through life in alignment with our true self. If you are feeling a little lost, don’t worry, I got your back. Just make it your plan to align with what is. Play with what feels good today (not yesterday) and use the vocabulary we have learned thus far. Every time you show up on the mat makes an impact, big or small.
This is a shorter practice that invites you to connect to courage on the mat. Through my yoga I have learned how to make courage a daily practice. This feels like utmost importance for me and the way I want to show up for myself, my community and the world. This session builds strength throughout the backside of the body, as well as tones and strengthens the abdomen. It’s also practices like these that are designed to support you in not just surviving, but to support you in the belief of yourself. Remember this is a come as you are situation. No need to have the energy or be in the mood. Get to the mat and together we will move through it.
Notice what emotions have been stirring within you lately. We come to the mat, we learn the poses, we remember the breath. As we start moving our bodies in new ways we notice a stirring. We are curious, we explore. As we stir things up on the mat, we create new pathways that can lead to new habits. Keep coming back to the breath. Hear it. Listen. Feel it. For it will guide you to make the most incredible discoveries.
It’s Day 25! A practice that celebrates the power of love. What does it look like to do things with love? What does it feel like? This session is a schooling in loving awareness. Each cycle of breath is, “ I love you.” This is not a practice to give up on. You mustn’t! The journey continues. Only 5 days more after this! Dive back in. The practice is love. Love is the practice.
The connection that may occur in these last five days will be special and truly unique to you. Don’t forget, showing up for yourself in this way does have an impact. Big or small, the impact it has on your health and happiness is transformational. We will ask some questions today to support you in your contemplation on your journey. So come along dear one, as we move from unconscious breathing patterns to conscious ones. This is a session to connect to your heart’s song.
Yin represents softness. It embodies a contemplative energy, one that is nurturing sensitive, quiet, slow and introverted. This may be the most valuable practice of your journey. For it is not always the hardest, fastest, strongest practice that pays off. Today we invite slow, we welcome smooth and we remember the power of ease with each calm nourishing breath. Let’s tap into what home feels like? This is the home stretch!!
In this session, I celebrate you for arriving at the mat with the courage to be who you are and to come with whatever you are carrying. Find the freedom in the form and remember, the invitation here is for you to fully be you. As we near the end I would like to take a moment to thank you for your trust. It is not something I take for granted. Secondly, I want to lift you up and send you my utter respect and love because you are doing this. Whether you do this in 30 days for 365 - it does not matter. What matters is that you make the commitment to find your center.
Today is the second to final practice of this journey, and it is all about pleasure! My advice to you is this, “don’t decide where it ends.” Whatever that means to you, take it to the mat! **I want to give you the heads up that tomorrow we will be meeting as usual, but you can expect something new. You can expect a fresh opportunity to let your practice be a true culmination that is emblematic of what I feel yoga is all about - and why it is the most wonderful tool for a meaningful life of centered living. In other words, expect tomorrow’s final practice to be different!
Here we are, at the end of the journey. For our final CENTER session - I invite you to practice alongside me, and thousands of others in the same moment in a new way. What does that mean? It means, you won’t follow my verbal instruction today, nor should you feel the need to match my moves. *You are the leader today. I am your friend practicing at my own pace alongside. This session is different - and yet, in my mind, the perfect way to seal our journey. Use the vocabulary you have to show up, to shift, to root, to flow and find a big hug. Use this session to listen, to rinse, unwind, stretch, be kind. Enjoy the opportunity to connect to your heart, your corazón. Find your gaze, cultivate play, explore and restore! And with pleasure, find freedom, melt, move and align with what matters most. The goal of this session is not for our practice to match - but for us to celebrate our connectedness through our individuality and truth. Set the intention to return to center.
It’s GET READY day! A little moment to get yourself organized, take stock of your energy, and prepare for our next 30 days together on the mat. (Consider this Day 0. Your first movement practice kicks off with Day 1.) I hope this multi-layered series will serve as a daily practice to help you feel your worth as you build a strong and flexible body. It is also my goal to help you learn how to access different energetic states for sustainable expansion and growth. While yoga is and remains a good workout for many, it was originally crafted to allow our souls to experience embodiment. Surrender to the FLOW of life that moves through your practice. Discover your own unique flow state, and drop in, my friend. I believe in the power and science of these practices, and I am honored to be your guide.
We kick off our first practice of our 30 Days of Yoga today! A session designed to set you up for success and help you set the tone for your experiences here as we grow through practice and understanding of our relationship to our Self. Set YOUR intention for the journey! Set your sails to - come as you are - for there is no other expectation. Learn how to use your breath to enhance and support your experience on the mat. You are ready, get set, let’s flow!
It’s Day 2 and with an important theme, a call to action, an invitation to drop the doing of yoga and reside in the role of the observer. When we practice in this way on the mat - we create an opportunity to move into a new presence. Get ready to stretch, to twist, and to listen to your breath, as you move your spine and connect with your body.
Hop on the mat for your Day 3 session that asks you to focus on how you breathe, how you think about yourself and others, how you move through the practice and how you move through the world. How you move matters. Let’s go.
Movement can be such good medicine! Our vocabulary together expands as we take today to notice all the ways in which the breath can move you and guide your way. Your Day 4 session welcomes a Vinyasa Flow practice! Way to show up for yourself today. Let’s get moving!
Day 5, oh baby! Our Day 5 practice is such a beauty. This practice reminds us how the way we carry our body can resemble or represent our innermost feelings. This session is also a guided invitation to make it your own, be intentional about the way you show up to move and breathe. Can you be gentle? Can you trust the wisdom of your body? The physical branch of yoga offers us the chance to better understand and get to know ourselves. Continue to show up for practice and focus on how you do so. It’s all happening. ✨ Represent you, on the mat. Represent!
CORE WORK for the win! Do you trust me? Join me for an 18 minute, core centering session designed to help you connect to the full spectrum of your core muscles holistically, as well focus the mind for optimal mental health. Check in with your center. Day six is my favorite. Who said core work had to be a hard hot mess? I love this approach. It’s efficient and impactful and leaves your nervous system feeling cared for. This practice is active, intricate and invites discipline of your breath. Don’t miss it.
Welcome to Day 7. One full week of tapping into the energetic body through regular movement, breath and yoga asana. This is a practice of synchronizing breath with the movement and movement with the breath in order to discover your flow. You are one week in and doing great. Remember there are no rules and you can drop any limiting expectations. The most important thing is that you show up. Even if it’s only to sync up with your breath and check in with your energy for the day. You got this.
Precious day 8. A day to try a little tenderness with a soft and easy practice of rest. For this session you are welcome to bring a blanket or two and a pillow to the mat. (No worries if not.) Trust that this type of session is most valuable.
Day 9 uses the marriage of mantra and movement to encourage powerful release and a boost in relationship with yourself and what serves!
The journey continues! With our day 10 practice we continue to develop a vocabulary in which we are able to use the breath to cultivate a more beautiful conversation between the mind and body. Today is all about moving any stagnant energy to allow the opportunity to align with something bigger than yourself and drop into FLOW.
This 16 minute session is a balm for the soul. Get ready to tap into conscious breath, stretch, and practice self massage. Yoga doesn’t only restore the physical body but the emotional and spiritual body as well. Take your practice to the depth that it wants to go. I am honored to practice alongside you.
Welcome steadiness and ease. In this session we bring our focus back to the stability of the center line while embracing yogic principles as stated in the Yoga Sutras and yogic philosophy. Here we are reminded to tap into the inner world and continue to let go of the drive to perfect the exterior of fancy yoga poses. Be prepared to flow in this session and find steadiness and ease from within.
With yesterday's focus on stability in flow, today we continue with a heightened focus on ease. Day 13 is all about marrying action with presence and ease. A beautiful practice for life, if you ask me.
Welcome Day 14! Welcome you - and all that comes with you today! This is a new day to notice your energy, your emotions, and what thoughts are forming. We continue to explore yogic philosophy and use breath to initiate shifts.
Today’s BALANCE session invites you to dig deep into the subtle layers of your practice. This journey is about meeting yourself, your sensations and observations, and through regular practice - finding your flow. In this session we begin with a right/left hemisphere balance and move on to continue to use the asana to learn about ourselves and how we experience our bodies.
Day 16 is sweet and a startlingly awesome opportunity to BE KIND. Reinstate loving kindness to yourself with this session. The hardest part is showing up. Keep showing up to the mat and together we will source the rest. Trust me, the second half of this journey is THE BEST! You got this.
Way to go! You are my hero. This is the phase of the journey where we really get into the energetic highway that is your spine! Building off the previous practice, we will continue to explore vocabulary for letting go of what no longer serves and finding our current, optimal flow!
Slip into sukhasana for divine stillness and meditation! Let’s take today to invite a sense of peace and slow pause for both the physical body and our mental state. Today is all about renewal - a great opportunity to renew your commitment to showing up. I LOVE YOU! You are doing great! Enjoy!
Gratitude, take the wheel! This session is an important one that you won’t want to miss. Ride the wave of the breath as we practice coming back to gratitude. If you laugh, smile, fall or fart - it’s all part of the journey and discovery.
Day 20. This is huge. You made it to Day 20! And perfectly timed, we take this session to continue the journey inward. This session asks a lot of good questions and continues to cultivate and add new vocabulary to the physical practice. This is time well spent with yourself. (Thank you for letting me be a part of it!) Let’s go!
On day 21 we recognize a natural curiosity that grows about ourselves and others. Pay attention to sensations in your physical body and heart space - both - and the practice will communicate a lot back to you. This session is an invitation to observe and investigate without judgment. (Oh - and it's certainly okay to have fun too.)
This practice is one of self inquiry. Building on the previous sessions, we will tune in, move, breathe and find support through practice. I am here to cheerlead you. Honor your truth.
In this practice we find that inner recruit that supports the whole system. This session activates the root chakra and guides with an opportunity to learn how to activate certain areas of the physical body to shift energetic flow, build strength in the body and cultivate balance in the brain.
One of my favorite themes! In this session we continue to unlock creativity and celebrate intuitive movement through listening and responding. The ebb and flow of your practice emerges when you show up to be present with what is. Don’t decide where it ends…
Intuitive movement is key for being able to identify what your optimal flow feels like. Today we tend to the energy centers of the body through breath and physical practice.
With a free spirited entry, this heart-led session challenges you to practice being open. Listen and respond to what the body is sharing today as we bring awareness to the heart center. Get ready for heart-led warriors, cobras, and bow pose! Perhaps some alligator breathing too? Four more practices await after this! Stick with your commitment, you can do it!! The hardest part is showing up to begin. Let’s do it!
This Day 27 video is a requirement of this journey, so don’t think - just do it. Today's session highlights some of the powerful tools of a holistic approach to practice. And most importantly, it is an opportunity to say something kind to yourself.
As we near the end of the journey we enter into a beautiful practice of deep listening and trust. One that guides you toward cultivating a relationship with your inner voice with more opportunities to improvise and play and connect with something bigger than yourself. I am honored to be on this journey with you!
Building on the whole journey and especially the past 5 practices, today we use the vocabulary to find sensations through moments of movement that feel individual to you. We have worked with focus, rigor, softness, kindness and balance to develop a practice for finding FLOW. This session is all about the power of TRUST. Trust your intuition and keep an open mind. Learn rabbit pose (bunny posture) or maybe fly in crow! Heads up! Tomorrow’s practice is going to be a little different than the rest. Trust.
You made it. I am so proud of you, in awe of you. Thank you for sharing your valuable time and energy with me and this incredible worldwide community. Today’s session is our final yoga practice of the journey. This video will be a little different from the rest, as it asks you to create your own practice in culmination of everything we have learned and practiced together. You have everything you need! You have your vocabulary, your action, your awareness and your alignment. You know how to tap into intuitive movement and trust. Connect to your inner voice and stay open, you may just feel a connection to something bigger as well. You are your best guide. I am, however, always here to help, to bolster, to ask questions with you and support your growth. This session is a celebration. Remember, in every end - is a new beginning.
You did it. We did it. Felicidades! This is my life’s passion and I see a world that is better for having people who are in true touch with themselves, brain, body and energy. Heart and soul. THANK YOU for taking this journey with me. Thank you for sharing your valuable time and energy with me, Benji and with the Yoga With Adriene community across the globe. My hope is that we keep learning and practicing how to show up well.
