Yoga for When You Are Feeling Scared | Yoga With Adriene – Yoga With Adriene

by YouTube Team

Let’s face it. The world can feel scary sometimes, really scary. Our fight and flight response is turned on and our rest and repair response is whispering, “pick me pick me.”

This deep and comforting practice, yoga for when you’re feeling scared, is designed for your nervous system. We will tend to the spine, the neck, and shoulders, connect to your center and open the hips.

Get ready to breathe deep, slow down, STRETCH, and Find What Feels Good for better physical, emotional, and mental health.

I got your back.

Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below.

This fun video was filmed for Halloween 2021, if you would like more Halloween themed practices check out:

We all get scared sometimes. The mat has your back. And so do I.

Yowza, that was like the best massage I’ve ever had without actually having a massage. Thanks Adriene 😊

Thank you Adriene. You were my first Youtube Yogi and I owe you so much. Yoga has made my life so much better and fuller since I started following your videos in 2014. I'm tearing up as I write this, haha. Anyway, thanks for everything you do and sending you love and good wishes for 2022!

Gosh, Adriene, this makes me wonder whether it would be a good idea for you to go back to your acting career! Even though we gained so much from you becoming a yoga teacher we might have lost even more because of you giving up being an actress.

As a recovering addict with 5.5 years clean; I am scared shitless. I made the decision to upgrade some high school courses, went really well, received honours. My mental health decided to take a huge decline, processing childhood trauma has NOT been comfortable. My doctor put me on a highly addictive medication, it has led me to suicidal thoughts and severe depression. So now I must remain seriously diligent and look after myself. I came across this “scared” practice, and it was meant for me. I am extremely fearful to go through withdrawals from this medication. Constantly, filled with hopelessness and loneliness. I appreciate you Adriene; more than you’ll ever know.

Ngl, that intro scared the hell out of me 😂😂. I do my yoga in the mornings before the sun comes up so it’s quite & dark. I thought it was a clip from The Blair Witch Project 😭😂

My first Namaste of 2022… After watching the Move 30 Day Journey Premiere, I felt compelled to go back to this practice and both it, and connecting with everyone at the premiere earlier this morning, was just what my mind, body and soul needed… Happy New Year to one and all, and to Adriene (kind one): always be well, namaste xxx

Just found out my brother has covid, saw this video and went "I don't know what yoga for when you're scared is, but I'm pretty scared right now. Let's give it a shot." I'm still scared, but it's less present and intense. Thanks.
