Thank you! I am a disabled combat veteran and am unable to do my previous exercises like running and hiking, but i think I found the answer in you yoga classes. I will continue beyond the 30 day beginner course and feel myself getting stronger already.

Hello Adriene,

I just read all these comments before watching this video...I have to concur with everyone! This time doing yoga WITH you and FOR me has translated into so many parts of my life...deep breaths before sleep...cat/cow poses on the saddle of my bike...better breath control (long exhales) on my flute...even amazing awareness of my body during lovemaking. (eek, did I just share that?!)

Thank you for being my guide to my own home practice. "Salud" to you!

Dear Adriene, your videos are simply wonderful. I've been following you just about every day now since July. I'm stronger, more relaxed and, as a saxophone player, find it especially beneficial that my breathing has improved. I'm following your latest series Breath, and am even a little dizzy afterwards. But in a good way! Wishing you a new year full of joy and creativity! Thank you for your generous work and service!

Magic ... Made my neck feel *better* than before I started! I've been doing headstand with ease for a decade without blankets. I tried with blankets once this winter at an Iyengar course and that was fine. But this today was incredible. I attribute it to Adriene's fantastic subtle suggestions. I watched the first demonstration then did the second round and stayed in shoulder stand a while longer while she moved into the closing sequence. I came out of it feeling super calm ... fluid, still, happy. So much so that it surprised me. And my neck feels like an Advil or an edible just kicked in. I've had a minor neck-shoulder-back "thing" for the past six months. Coming out of the pose I felt light, lengthened, smooth, and pain I wasn't consciously aware of was gone. Wow. Thank you thank you.

First time I did some Yoga - pfew, I'm like an 'old lady' I couldn't manage all of it, when I tried the shoulder stand my legs kept falling back forwards - not enough strength in my core I guess.

Hey Adrienne, I've just started following your videos and getting into yoga this Jan, and I'm loving it. Thank you for your time, patience and enthusiasm, you really make learning yoga achievable and enjoyable. I always leave the mat feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day or calmed for bed. Thank you. I really enjoyed this one in particular (it was always something my sister and I did while watching TV or waiting for dinner - who knew it was a yoga pose!). I'd love to see more of these videos (and yep, I've seen the other foundation lessons and they're great too) - like the crow pose and other challenges. But seriously, love your videos, thank you!

Oh, that was fun! I'm trying to reconnect with daily yoga. Preparing for the January 30-day challenge. The hardest part really is the commitment, and that is where I fail. I'm looking forward to 2019, and recommitting to the task.
