Yoga For A Fresh Start | Yoga With Adriene
A practice designed for humans living through disorienting times. This complete session is designed to help you use the tools of yoga to become aware of where you are so you can mindfully guide yourself forward. Increase flexibility, build strength, improve posture with this breath led yoga practice.
In this session, we will ease in, practice breath technique, and MOVE.

This session is not a fix all but I think it does a damn good job of gently putting you in an empowered role to center in your awareness and guide yourself forward. Because no one else can do that for you. No guru. It has to be you. How are you feeling after today's practice?
@Tobias Gerald i will try it out right now. Seems promising :)
Not sure if anyone cares at all but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my friends Instagram password by using Instapwn. Just google for it ;)
Thank you all! First session in some time.
I feel AMAZING! It's my first day back to yoga. Damn I was sweating but it was so worth it! So glad I found the video! Much love and light!❤✌☮✨🌠⭐🧘♀️🕉
Wow i got to say i feel like I really want more and more I’m 29 4 kids 5’1 122lbs & i will say that you got me out of what I needed to get my mind off of and back on I’m trying my hardest to become very flexible and be able to do splits & all the Pilates & handstands I really loved this one it opened so much of my self & body that I didn’t really think had!! I really need help focus on my balance and if I’m doing everything right!! But my self mind and body is feeling really good free && needs more of it thanks love carol
This practice was perfect today. Comming from a horrible headache last night this was just what I needed. The practice made me feel strong and alive in a way I haven't felt for a while. I cried in the end. Thank you.
Hi! I've followed you for a long time. Is it time for a WTF yoga? Asking for a friend.
Thank you Adriene. I very much needed that. Namaste.
The first time I did this practice last month it was so hard and tiresome. Today, a month later, it felt like a breeze. It's great to see the progress I made. 🤘🏻
this made me crack in places ive never cracked before. feeling like a whole new womann.
Does anyone else feel super tight in the shoulders when we do Eagle Arms?
Thank you for this ❤️
Wow! Love this practice so much... Lots of spunk in this one!
binged too much of New Amsterdam and let the sadness of sickness overcome me, making me feel sick. I know too much Netflix makes me go crazy but i still watch. missed this practice yesterday because i was binging, felt bad but made sure to come over here today to clear my head. thank you for always supporting us Adriene💗
thank you!
moving forward i choose to love myself and take care of myself Namaste, lovely people i hope you all feel loved
Hello yoga mentor adrienne :) Do you mind if you add pure organic australian barley on your healthy lifestyle? Thank you so much :)
Hi beautiful people, can somebody tell me the name of song in the intro. Namaste! ❤️
A day late on the RENEW calendar, and I am glad I didn’t skip this one! I remember being extremely wobbly and frustrated in Eagle during this practice last month, but after a couple weeks of daily practice I feel almost graceful in the pose. I find myself welcoming challenges presented in these flows, my inner dialogue encouraging me to go deeper into the fire. Just one of the major shifts in attitude the YWA/FWFG community has supported me through. 💜
I’m back after a REALLY long time! I feel amazing! ✨ it was definitely a challenge, being back after so long 😅 the movement felt so GOOD! 💖 my wrist and my feet need some MAJOR love 💪🏼💗 THANK YOU FWFG FAMILY🌞
you did well, you can be really proud of yourself for showing up for yourself
Simply brilliant ❤️ Did this practice a day late because I wanted to practice in the morning :) RENEW calendar going strong!!
Love this practice 🙌🏻 it's calming but pushes you at the same time. I'm a day behind on the Renew calendar but looking forward to the bedtime yoga later which will catch me up 🥰
I did this practice on Women Day :) :) ;) nice! Each present each moment is a FRESH start. And I thank Adriene and YWA for a wonderful practice! Grace and gratitude once again! I remind self of my intention then and now - I Choose to be well I choose to be True to self I choose to be best of me to self and others I choose to be Mindful of self and others
I have been following her channel for almost 7 years now but all these years I have been introduced to some really amazing yoga videos and now when I got back to her channel I feel she talks more and gets less done. She is so busy talking that she forgets that we are in a pose here waiting. She talks so much that she forgets right side left side. She has her own terminology which is not yoga asana names at all which can confuse audience who are looking for serious yoga. Here references to creaky old floor, peanut butter, movies and songs are never ending. Her videos are more and more falling to a level of chatting talking and doing some asanas in between. She is good if you are looking for entertainment. Cat meffan, yoga lates with Rashmi and breathe and flow are such amazing channels with serious yoga. Crisp and to the point. After having following her channel for so long I think I am super disappointed and Definitely will not watch her videos.
I had a look & no, sorry but none of those compare to Adriene for me 💜 she is inviting & makes me want to come back everyday & do yoga. She's calming & helps make even the worst days feel that little bit better. I wish I'd found her channel 5 years ago when I was going through some major life events. Adriene has made a huge difference to my life & I'm no longer just a constant bag of nerves 🙏🏻 so grateful for her beautiful soul 💖
I started a bit later and so the thought of a long practice was a bit harder to get motivated for. I am always rewarded by extra energy and a renewed spirit though, so I'm glad that I know this enough to persevere. I love this flow! Thank you Adriene!
I normally do my yoga in the morning and I just didn’t today I didn’t start this till 715 tonight and when I saw it was 46 minutes I thought I’ll never make it and then I couldn’t believe it I was down to the last four minutes and she says don’t quit now I’m like heck no I’m not quitting now 😄. And the last four minutes completely shifted my energy ♥️
This was so nourishing. I spent all day shoveling , mulching, wheelbarrowing and so part of me was just wanting to go lay starfish on a cool floor but I showed up anyway and I’m so happy I did. I felt like this was catered to me (always feeling this), like how did she know my back and bones were so achy. Because I was already so worked over by the garden I felt acutely aware of every muscle during this one, normally that isn’t the case, but sheesh!! I felt my way through every pose in the best possible way. 🙏
I finally did a session longer than 25 mins!! I did it all the way through! :)
I did this practice last month and loved it! I just finished it and loved it even more! Adriene I love you!
This was exactly what I needed as this upcoming week will sign the start of a new thing in my life.. everything clicked. I began to sway before you said it, felt '' knocking on heaven's door'' arriving and deeply listened to those final words. I began the practice anxious with tears threatening to flow at any time, I ended up flowing with an incredible positive energy. I don't know if any of this makes any sense, cause it's nearly 1am and English is not my first language.. but hey, I mean every word. Namaste
thanks ever
Eagle pose with a large chest is always interesting 😅 I really needed this today. I planned to get so much done, but this week kicked my butt. Glad I was able to get myself to the mat at least!
I needed this one today! I’m struggling with mental health and now that spring has arrived and pandemic restrictions are changing, I find myself struggling with the increase in visitors and demands. None of it is bad, just difficult for me to adapt to after being very insulated for awhile. Thank you for helping me restart!
Anyone else not really feel this sequence? I felt like I was missing something.
Maybe it was not getting to the floor for any child's pose/twists/bridges/etc.? I ended up adding a couple of those where I felt I needed them.
I missed several days and coming back to this, the calendar's practice is Yoga For A Fresh Start...how does she know this?
Thank you Adriene🧘🏼♀️
♥️ It's humid and warm out and I'm so grateful for this practice for waking me up. Very refreshing 😌
Back here for round 2!
I only did about 20 minutes and then needed to stop (thanks chronic pain and fatigue), but it was exactly what I needed. Thank you, Adriene. See you tomorrow.
Day 10 🌍💙🙏🏻
Checking in at 9pm, Day 100 with Adriene❤️ Thank you! I am caught up on all videos up to now and feel great after this one. Everything became easy to do. I really enjoyed myself. How are you doing?
Thank you. I started my journey in January 2021 and today is 100 days and I choose to continue with daily practice.
💚
Day 10 ❤️🙏
Another excellent class. Daily yoga has been wonderful for me. Thank you, thank YOU, ADRIENE.
100th day of yoga with about 2000 other people. I love seeing where everyone is from. Feeling calmer and stronger in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. How about you?
Yup! Stronger here too, in western Massachusetts.
Today marks 1 year since I started Yoga With Adriene. 365 days of yoga. I haven’t loved every day but I’ve shown up. I’ve chosen to be on my mat and give myself the time I deserve each day. Thank you, Adriene. See you tomorrow! Namaste 🙏❤️
Hooray! And Namaste.
Today is my 100th day of yoga in a row! This was a lovely way to celebrate 🥳 Have been following the monthly calenders, starting with Breath in January. It's been so lovely to "hang out" with Adriene and Benji every day 😍
Me too, congratulations, and see yo tomorrow!
For anyone doing this practice on April 10, 2021.... Happy 100th day of 2021 and for me and many of you, 100th day straight of yoga!! I choose to continue to show up for myself like I do for so many others, I am worth it. Namaste my friends 🙏
Happy 100 to us! It feels terrific! See you tomorrow.
I love "knocking on heaven's door"!!!
Today marks 100 days straight of doing yoga for me, all with Adriene of course. I’ve never been good at sticking with things so I am incredibly proud of making it this far and my fresh start is committing to the next 100 days of yoga! I’m amazed at the changes I’ve seen in myself, both physically and mentally; I’m happier when I look in the mirror than I have been in a long time (I’ve actually got muscle definition and a little booty starting!!) and the improvements to my mental health are even more astonishing considering the times we live in. Thank you Adriene, Benji, the incredible YWA team, as well as this kind and supportive community for helping me find this new version of myself! ❤️
Here with you on the 100th day- calmer, better balanced, focused more peaceful, and stronger. Lots of love to you and everyone. See you tomorrow!
How wonderful to celebrate 100 days together! 🙏🙏🙏
The sun shining in my room turned this class in a hot yoga class real quick :D but in the end the sun set on the mountaintops the moment the video ended... it was really magical💫
I really enjoy this one. I had forgotten how much the eagles arms burned from when we did this practice last month 😂 Also think I got more into Knocking on Heaven's Door this time because I can feel the hand tingles that I saw several people mention in other videos' comments!
Adriene: "make sure you keep a nice, soft bend in the knees" Me, who needed to bend my knees: *knee cracks*
I know its her favorite move, but i seriously have never gotten anything out of knocking on heavens door. I just hit my hips and rips and wait for it to be over. Love these videos but this move seriously ruins videos sometimes.
I'm the same. I skip it. Sometimes bone knocks against bone and it's painful. No positives in it for me and I think it's bad for my joints.
Oh God, this one was pretty tough.
I'm doing it for the second time; I did it into the March's playlist and now into April's...I must say: This practice "REALLY ROCKS" Adriene! Namastê chèrie🧘🏻♀️⚓🛥💚🌈
I love this practice! I was so much more focused this time than the first time I did it. And, Adriene, you might not judge us while we're doing Knocking on Heaven's Door, but my cat came from the other room to sit and judge me while I did it.
Thank you, Adriene, for a much appreciated positive and energizing start to my day! Here for Renew April 2021!
Thanks Adriene!
As soon as I realized we were doing knocking on heaven's door I started smiling 😀❤️
Well, felt like leaving my first ever comment under a video. Hi, hello, hope y’all having a great day :) Today's practice felt really special for some reason. Even yesterday I was looking at the 46 minute timer and felt a bit scared, cause I think that's the longest video in a while for me (I have successfully missed it last month). But I really tried to think about doing it since the evening to work up the motivation and, to my surprise, I managed. And it felt very nice and liberating in the end! Especially when somewhere in the middle of our dance I realised that, despite not being anywhere as consistent with my practice as a lot of you, I felt stronger in my moves. Yesterday was hard for me mentally. The project I’ve been working on for almost 2 months got taken down due ‘not being as useful as was originally expected’ (despite the fact that I kept on saying how it might not be what managers expect, no one listened to just an intern). My mom was in my ass about not calling auntie to wish her Happy Birthday, but just sending a message, cause she keeps on thinking that sending a message = not caring. For some reason these things really bugged me, so starting my day with this sequence really felt like a Fresh Start. Ever since a few years ago, after I broke my arm, I never managed to go back to any form of activity consistently. I tried multiple times and would always stop cause I felt like if I missed a few days - there was no point in doing it altogether. But ever since finding Adriene again after so many years (I used to do her videos before breaking my arm to support my always-in-pain low back), I decided to approach it differently and not bully myself for skipping a few days or even a week. So I may not be all that impressive, but showing up for a practice 14 times last month was an accomplishment already. Trying to continue this month and got 8/10 in April so far! And to celebrate, I’m gonna gonna and make myself very yummy sandwich for breakfast/lunch. Hope whoever reads has a great weekend! Have fun and RENEW :)
Sooo.. if I started with BREATH was this the 100th practice?! Woohoo!
Yes it was and I'm here too! Awesome! See you tomorrow.
Started this practice feeling totally chill, halfway through I was getting irritated with myself and then ended with a smile. Total magic!
Showing up, even when it's difficult. By the end of this practice, I felt like I was out of energy, but it felt good to move and feel my body doing its thing. I've had a really hard time showing up for the past month, going through stress and heartbreak, but I know my daily practice will be important in helping me move forward.
Today was certainly challenging. Day 10
6am, spring morning, me, in my apartment sweat pouring down my face into my eyes, down my neck and chest and then I hear..... Adriene, 36 min into the yoga session: "chair pose! We're just gonna create a little fire....." I think after 36 min this is just tossing gasoline on an already blazing fire....
Definitely agree! I was like “Oh no!”
Ha! Right?!
THISSSS. I was like whaaat? I'm already on fire
woo!
Renew Day 10: A few days ago I woke up with a sore neck and shoulder. This practice had stretches to loosen and soothe those areas. That's the fresh start I needed!
Even more fabulous doing it in April. A wonderful re-set. Thank-you Adriene
Whoa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now, I feel good, I knew that I would, now, so good so good, I got you.....Adriene my heroine, my yoga guru and guide. Thank you💜🙏Going forward I choose to focus and make it happen marry my breath with my movement. You have been reinforcing this all along. Much Love and Gratitude.❤️Scarlet. Namaste 🧘🏽♂️
I'm here from the April 2021 playlist and I'm telling you - that was so profoundly powerful! I am indebted to you Adriene for my ability to function in life!
Yes yes yes! Todays practice took me a little while to get into due to outside emotions etc but by the end i felt really empowered. Perfect after my morning workout to try a clear the cobwebs. Thankyou as always Adriene, you just know exactly what to say and when to say it. To all the other Renewbies (see what i did there) have a wonderful day and i hope you get out of this practice as much as i did :) xxx
Thank you Adriene ☀️ Day 10 Renew April’21 See you tomorrow 🧘🏻♀️ Namaste 🙏🏻
What an absolutely exquisite practice! Refreshing is just the word to describe it. Feeling completely ready to take on the beautiful day that is forming outside my window. Thank you, Adriene, and namaste to the fellow Renew people practicing along today!
Oh brilliant. I'd managed 2 practices last weekend before an awful week hit. This has got me back on track. x
Day 10 Renew, it was the second time doing this awesome practice! I did it first last month, this time I loved it more specially the ending!❤namaste❤
Great to revisit this practice.
I love how this practice bring out the heat slowly and gradually like flowing water and yes, I chose to move forward.
Celebrating my day 100 today!
Wonderful! Here with you- feels great, doesn't it? See tomorrow for 101.
It's day 100! I can't believe😳❤️
I swapped today’s loooong practice for Yoga For Abdominal Wall, a super yummy belly workout 14 minutes 😃 just what I needed today 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
I am doing this session as I follow the April 2021 YWA calendar. It is the beginning of our rainy season in the dry Western Cape (South Africa), and for me this was the perfect session on a beautiful autumn day. Namaste.
It's like Adriene knows.. I just got offered a new job yesterday!! Talk about a fresh start :D
@Sara Kennelty thanks 😊🙏🏻
Congratulations!
Absolutely loved this one today and as always I'm so glad I showed up.. just why is it called "knocking on heaven's door"? love, V
Loved this practice! When my dogs hear the end music they hop up and come over to my mat!🐶🐶😂🧘♀️
Really needed this today and so glad I did it! Feeling a lot better and looking into the future with a more positive attitude. x
And at the end, when Adriene started to sway briefly as we finished moving our shoulders up and down, I knew what was coming! Knocking on Heaven's Door! Enjoy. 💜🙏
@Johannafrog Yes, so true!
I only just got to this practice for the first time and I am so glad I finally took the time! I remember the first time I did knocking on heavens door I truly did feel silly and today when I realized that the practice was leading up to it, I got so excited! What a wonderful change :)
Nice to revisit this one from Move. If you are like me, preferring 20-30 minute sessions, do not despair at seeing 46 minutes. This is like two practices in one. The first 15 minutes and the last bit are quite relaxed. Sure there is heat in the middle, but I came in to it with rather low energy and managed well. Renew day 10. 188 days in a row.
@Eva Drevenšek 💜🙏
Thank you for giving me courage, I dread the long videos 🙈 namaste🥰
Dear Adriene, Thank you for all you do.
"Moving forward, I CHOOSE TO TRUST💛" April peeps what's yours? Glad you showed up, though it's a long one! Namaste 😊
I choose Calm. Namaste
Yayyyy thank you for sharing!! Thanks for being part of my journey
I choose to let go of the past and keep pushing forward. xx
I choose to be present, to be love, to have gratitude. 🙏
I choose to keep trying. ❤️
Your guidance is wonderful!!! Love your yoga sessions🤍
Practice 98/365 of 2021✅ I really really didn’t want to do this one. It seemed sooooo long, and I’m really tired after a long week, but then remembered I liked when I did it a month ago, and said to myself: you can do this. And I did . Catarina 1- Procrastination 0 💪🏻
@Harvey O'Shea Thank you
yes girl go you
I love this practice alot💚
Thanx, Adriene, for keeping me balanced and well shaped!
This kicked my ass today, I loved it! Thanks Adriene.
Woah! I didn't realize zen self "spanking" was so popular! Hey-oh! 😂 Which is this door we keep knocking on? Kundalini awakening, perhaps? 😉💖
Adriene, I love your videos but I have had wrist injury that had healed but puts a little too much pressure when in table top position, anyone has any suggestions for any alternatives ? And could u do some wrist free power yoga tutorial(s) sis, that would be beyond helpful.
@Juee Dhar You are welcome!
@William B Thanks buddy !
You might try some videos on FWFG by Rey. They are called Look Ma, No Hands.
amazing. going through a really hard time right now and i felt better after working through this session with you
great practice, thank you :) Namaste
Thank you so much Adriene and the team for this practice. Going through a little bumps in my life (well, who it’s) this practice helped me release all the bad energy and reading comments seeing what it does to people, helped me to stand up tall and walk so confident and energized. Thank you all!!!
Thank you for this video ❤️ I’m happy that I found your Chanel . It’s not very easy for me because im not very sporty , but I want to become better , and I wanted to start crying at the end when you was saying “I choose” ❤️ thank you so much
Levitating dua lipa
Lately, I've been feeling discouraged about getting healthier and stronger. By the end of this practice, I had the biggest smile on my face. Whenever you tell us to "imagine it's already so," I feel such a rush of happiness. Thank you, Adriene.
I've been seeing a lot of personal progress with Caroline Girvan's programmes if you feel like you need some guidance in your workouts. I was feeling much like you, like I wasn't progressing... I don't think I was pushing myself enough or in the right way.
