Listen to your body today, but even more so, don’t forget…Listen to your heart. I love you.
Thank you🧡
Thank you for this practice Adriene <3 it felt beautiful to here you say that I'm held
I'm flying out tonight to my home town…. and the second family funeral in less than 60 days. Thanks for reminding to breath.
My best friend passed away yesterday after a battle with covid. He was healthy, active, full of life. I am heartbroken. Adriene, thank you for reminding me to breathe. Thank you for reminding me of expansion and contraction. And thank you for providing us with a community where we can all land for support.
My older brother passed away the morning of my 18th birthday last year and now my 19th birthday is coming up and it’s just all gotten a bit much. I skipped the gym today because I couldn’t stop crying after I got off work but I didn’t want to end the day without moving my body any and I found this video which I am so grateful for. Thank you so much for creating such supporting content Adriene, you’re a blessing. Namaste 🤍
I am doing this yoga practice today because I went out with this guy who seemed to really like me. I liked him a lot too. But he kept leading me on since the date and yet hasn't ever asked to see me again and has barely texted me. I'm pissed off that I let myself text him first and get into this mess because I let myself cling onto yet another person who I knew would leave. I've pick up my phone every 2 seconds to check if he texted me for the past 3 weeks… "of course he won't text you, he doesn't like you enough, he doesn't care". I've been left on read so many times but it still hurts and I'm just so upset and I don't know where to go or what to do because all I want to do is see him again and just be held, and cuddled, and loved. I've put an intense amount of effort not to text him again…Okay, I've said enough. I'll start this practice now.
I discovered your channel last summer and have been so grateful to have something I can do each day that helps me feel better physically and mentally. I can literally type in yoga for _ and find something that "makes me feel good" no matter how I'm feeling that day. Today was no exception. We had to put down our kitty last night and I didn't think I'd be up for any yoga at all, but something compelled me to just give it a try, and as always, I'm so glad I did. Thank you for sharing these videos with the world and helping so many people feel anchored through the ups and downs.
Love you too Adriene and Benji! What a gift this practice is.
Thank you. So profound to feel supported in a time of grief by a lovely souled yoga teacher and the community she has crested. I am touched and comforted. 💞
thank you for this. I just found out my sweet pup has end stage liver disease, and she isn't doing good. I'm having a really hard time and know that it's going to just get harder. I am going to come back to this practice throughout the grieving process. Thank you.
Thank you.
TW: suicide
8 years ago today, my father took his own life. Because I lost him at a young age, I have had to re-process it as I get older and am able to understand the weight of mental illness, addiction, and trauma. Grieving someone who took their own life is so confusing and painful and leaves many questions unanswered. This practice really helped me to get out of my head for a moment. It provide me with the comfort that I needed to combat the feelings of loss. For that I thank you so much.
And for anyone who happens to be reading this- may you feel peace in your heart and soul. You are loved. Even if you don’t feel like it- I send my love to you❤️
I recently lost my beloved Dog Dudley, he was my world, thank you for this practice, I didn’t realise, how grief can stress your body it really helped me, thank you ❤️xx
My sweet mom died on August 28th…..we were very close friends. She was in her 100th year and lived alone in her house until 2 days before her death.
I love Yoga with Adriene, I’ve been enjoying Adriene for almost 2 years now. I had checked out the yoga for grief but waited until my mom died to try it. It was wonderful and gave me great comfort. Your comforting voice was a great help to me and my sister, and we will continue the 30 or 31 day challenges!
My momma passed a few days ago and I am just heartbroken. She was my best friend. I have torn emotions because not only am I sad, but I am angry. I am angry that she was in the hospital for 33 days and the hospital would not let us see her. At the time when she needed us the most, they kept us from her and it's breaking my heart. She passed away without any of us getting to hold her or hug her. However, when the hospital told us she was in the process of passing, that is when they let us see her. After she finally went to her place in the Heavens, I felt her all around me. So my heart though saddened she is gone, is most pissed off at the hospitals. And worst of all, I work in one and it's making it so much harder. I can't wait to see you again momma….save me a spot.
A beloved friend passed away a few days ago. He tragically died while swimming at the beach and got caught in a rip current. He was the epitome of grace, and taught me so much about leading with a keen sense of love and spirituality. Thank you for this practice. I needed this as I ride the wave of grief.
I have lost a very close friend, and i cant get over for almost 3 months. This video really sooth my mood, after the yoga, i felt better. Thanks for sharing such beautiful yoga.
This video was posted over 2 years ago. I am currently facing my first deep experience with grief, and I just used this video. Adrienne, thank you so much. Your softness and the way you hold space for us in your practice are exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing this content and for continuing to share.
I lost my 17 year old dog Millie yesterday and am struggling to hold it all together. This practice helped. Thank you Adriene. You are a life saver and an inspiration ❤
This gave me the space I needed today to cry and grieve my dogs passing. Thank you Adrienne 🌻
Adriene you are an angel!
To everyone here in the comments:
You are loved, always.
Death is not the end.
Love never dies.
Be blessed. 💕
Just had to walk away from someone I really loved due to their addiction. When I got into extended child pose, I started sobbing. It felt so good to release the pain. Thank you for this practice. Your channel has been a blessing.
My dear husband died today. I cried all the way through this, but was so happy to have this. I did yoga in the hospital at 1 am last night too. ( By memory because I couldn't play the videos…. in the circumstances.) Thank you beloved Adriene ❤️
Thank you for this!
I have just said goodbye to my best friend Freddie, a beautiful Jack Russell. Thank you for doing this video to help us all go through tough times ❤
Thank you Adriene. You are a gift. I am grateful to have found this video, it was so helpful. So true that we forget to breathe in grief. I will continue to use this nurturing space. Sending love to all those who are grieving.
Just found out my friend passed away and here I am. I’ve been to this video many times now. It’s always so comforting.
Thank you for this practice Adriene❤️ I lost my dog Bella earlier this week. It was the hardest goodbye of my life. It was also hard to come back to the mat because she always used to come lay on it or beside me when I went to do a practice. Missing her like crazy. That was a good gentle practice, albeit very lonely from what I’ve been used to for years and years. Rest In Peace Bella Grace, we miss you so much. Xo 💔🐾
Thank you for making this video. My mom is on home hospice snd im her caregiver. Unfortunately she nearing the end. This practice has helped me calm myself because I’m so frazzled and anxious.
My 8-year old cat named Melody passed away just this afternoon. I heard her last breath all the way from my room. The sound embodied pain and freedom at the same time. I miss her so much, she's been with me since I was a young teen struggling in high school, now I'm 20 and things feel so much different. I hope she's at peace now, my little angel. Thank you Adrienne for helping me acknowledge my grief with this practice.
Thank you so much Adrienne…….that was so sweetly done, with such loving kindness. 🙏
Our 16 years old pug passed away yesterday. Needed this today.
Thankyou … I just listened to your voice … I couldn’t do the movements. But knowing you exist in this world has given me strength today. Annie
heading to the 3rd funeral in a month this morning. this was a beautiful way to fill my cup to support others in their grief. andrew garfield said something so beautiful this week; “grief is the unexpressed love we never got to tell them.” thank you for sharing your gift & creating a video specifically for healing. i’ve shared a link with 2 girlfriends who lost their mothers this month. i hope they find this as comforting as i did.
Thank you is all I can manage to type. With love & gratitude.
Our beloved pup died a little less than a month ago. A completely unforeseeable, random cancer. She was 1.5 years old and we all loved her so much. Thanks for sharing this practice and Benji with me today. I will continue to ride these waves as long as they'll have me. My wee girl deserves it all. Namaste. <3
Thank you Adriene. Our beautiful dog died a couple of days ago 🌈 Love to everyone who comes to this practice in grief 💜
💜💜💜
Lost my dog yesterday. I cried all through this, but it felt so good to breath. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. You're the sweetest 🤍
My grandpa passed away a few days ago and I’ve been holding so much grief in my body that I didn’t even know what it was, this practice helped me let go of some of it. Thank you❤️🩹
I love you adriene, and this practice. Yet is it possible to update this and use your new mic? The audio in this is very muffled and distracting as you are constantly straining to hear what you are saying.
I never thought I could cry through an entire yoga session but here we are.
I lost both of my parents, my grandfather and my pup this year. Thank you for making me feel strong again ❤️
Adriene, thank you so much for this, from my heart 💜🙏🏼 sending you love from the Canary Islands ( NW coast of Africa) i hope you read this so you can feel the love.
My cat who was my ESA, had to be put down this past month. Everything feels so empty without her. I've been struggling a lot but thank you for this practice, it was really helpful and definitely something I'll come back to.
My dog of 16 years just passed 4 days ago. I've been in bed in my pajamas crying since then. I'm so grateful for this yoga practice as I embark on my healing journey.
