Just completed your 40min beginner video and it was fantastic. Your instruction is so clear and your voice so relaxing. You encourage and provide guidance for those of us relatively new to yoga.
Thank you! My great friend Teri and I just did your Beginner's workout on the balcony of the house we rented in Eureka Springs. We have a view of the Ozarks the temperature was just perfect.
Great 40 min workout for beginner's. Feel stronger, more relaxed, and whole. What a wonderful beginners yoga session - I've booked marked this to repeat over and over! Love it! I also enjoy the music you have playing at the very end You my friend are simple amazing. Thank you for creating these beginners videos and this beautiful website. My name is Marjan, from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I'm 56 years old and I own a horse with who I love to go out riding.
However, lately I started to get stif in my hips and riding became more and more painful so I decided to pick up yoga. I found a lot of video's on You Tube but yours are my favorite. I have been doing your 40 minutes for beginners several times now and I really love the way you teach!
But now someone told me that I should do Yinyoga instead of any other. Do you have any idea about that? I think your yoga is perfect and in time it should help me to get flexible again. First of all I want to thank you for your videos, I'm starting with yoga and I'm doing this video every day first thing in the morning! So, I have a question regarding the mat Thank you very much for creating these beginners videos and this beautiful website.
I've been doing yoga for a while on and off and your free classes are a real gift to me. I enjoy so much your in depth but no-nonsense explanations of the asanas. I'm trying to start my own home practice and your videos are my tools of choice. I have 2 questions for you: 1 What should I expect, mind-body wise, after a while of practice and after how long? Is there a "graceful" way to do it without having to stand up to place my body for another asana? Until I'm able to do it, of course! Thank you so much for giving, understanding and letting us know that a practice doesn't have to be rigid.
Adriene, I discovered you about two weeks ago after buying a Smart TV with intentions of finding Yoga to start exercising with. I have bought several yoga dvds in the past but you teach and don't just make a film! Thank you very much for doing these videos. I have never thought that I could have so much fun with yoga. I am really glad that I found you. Your videos helped me to handle a really stessful period in my life. Hi Adrienne, Firstly thank you for such a great and uplifting resource!
New to yoga and its been a wonderful place to start. I've been working my way through some of the videos and loving it done the beginners ones, the detox, the morning and bedtime routines and a couple of the foundational ones. I have a couple of questions if you have time:. Firstly I'm finding all the movements fine but struggling with pain in my knees a bit during but mainly afterwards.
I have had issues with my knees in the past squatting in gym etc and physio has said its due to hyper mobility and poor alignment. Any tips? Do you think its a case of yoga will help them over time or am I making tham worse and should I ease off? Its things like the lunge positions that strain I think. Second question - I'm thinking of getting the reboot package. Is it suitable for those fairly new to yoga or should I work my way through more foundationals first? Hi, Adriene! I am a college student and as everyone knows, school brings on a lot of stress and worry.
I've been trying to find ways to relax and get more restful sleep and peace of mind, and thanks to you I have! I've only followed your 40 minute beginner video, but so far I feel really good and I am able to focus on getting things done!
This is a great de-stresser, and I plan on following your other videos as well. Thanks again for you videos and the time that you've put in to make them! I just had a quick question. How many calories would be burned during this beginner's yoga session?
Hello from New Hampshire! And a request! What would you think about doing a beginner sequence focused on twisting? I do some on my own but would be interested to see what your favorites are. Thank you Adriene- your videos make me happy! I love doing yoga, but unfortunately I had to stop. After doing no yoga at all for 6 months I saw a small advert in a Dutch magazine describing your videos. I just wanted to say thank you for making me fall in love again with yoga.
I love your enery, your voice, humor and the way you are making it easy to understand. I hope you keep posting wonderful videos. Great video Adriene. In mid November I ended up not being able to do my work due to a crushed disc between my pelvis and first vertebra. I have already practiced yoga in the recent past but I haven't been practicing for a few months. Immediately after seeing my x-rays I turned on youtube to find some yoga that was slow and educating.
I found "Yoga For Beginners 40 min workout with Adriene" foundation and flexibility. Now just more than a month later, I feel great and my doctors are telling me I should be able to try going back to work at the first of the year. I have followed quite a few of your other videos and will continue to do so with which ever I feel like at the moment.
I also practice much more outside of my home anymore and don't ever plan on stopping. Thank you Adriene for your effort and the education you have given me! Forever a loyal follower, James. Adriene, you are lovely. If I am able to produce a documentary in the future regarding a dream and vision I am in the process of, we'll hire you as the actor: Thank you for your generosity which I pray comes back to you fold. Question: When I am in baby cobra pose and moving into mountain pose, I am on my toes and pushing from my toes and lifting from my belly.
However, I end up curving like cow pose rising up in the chest first then pushing back into downward dog. Is this a matter of arm strength? First off thank you for a great beginners practice, as someone who has never done yoga before and was increadibly intimidated to even attempt to go to an actual yoga class this has been AMAZING! I have been doing this routine for about a week, I do it three times a week to conencide with the days that I weight train in the gym and honestly I feel absolutely amazing this week.
The move where you come out of the runner lunge, drop your back knee to the mat and then roll back on your front ankle to stretch your front leg out. This move seriously hurts my back toes, I cannot put that kind of weight on my toes and get a good stretch on my front leg at all. Is there a way that I can modify this move so I can get the same stretch without having to put all that weight on my toes like that?
Out of your videos which video would be the "next" step to go to to keep advancing in the practice without going to advanced to fast and how long would you do this particular video before advancing further? Thank you so much I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am that you have taken the time to do this, my body thanks you, my golf game thanks you, and most of all my inter being thanks you.
I just tried "Yoga for Beginners" for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I love your pace, tone, and how I feel like I could watch the video over and over without feeling like I've already heard the script. I especially enjoy that I can simply listen to your voice for direction, rather than straining to look awkwardly at the TV screen. I am an elementary P. The kids absolutely love it, and they have challenged me to keep finding new routines and sequences.
I look forward to learning more from you. Hi and thank you for your great videos. I tried yoga for the first time last year, in November, and I got hooked. I had a back pain that day, and it just disappeared. After that I was looking for a website, where I could do the Yoga at my own time, and at beginners level.
Every second day I start the day with the Beginners video, and some days I continue with one of the fat burning videos. A great combination. My belly is more tight, my mind is more open and happy - thanks to you! I'm a 51 year old, formerly extremely active guy that has suffered the debilitating effects of Fibromyalgia for the past 10 years and my health has spiralled downwards.
Just to get through the day is a big struggle. Fibro has not only affected my physical health but my mental, emotional and spiritual health as well. I'm almost a total newbie to yoga but completed your 40 minute yoga for beginners session this morning for the first time.
That was a workout. I can honestly say that as I sit here and type this I feel like I have taken the first step towards a journey of healing; mind - body - spirit.
I so desperately need that! So, I will continue on with my journey with yoga through your videos and see where it takes me. I'm optimistic and excited at what I might find! I wanted to start learning yoga and came across your video's on YouTube There was only thing I wondered if you would be able to help with? I have been told I have double jointed knees and sometimes when I put pressure on them I get sharp pains in my knees - are there certain yoga poses I shouldn't be doing and are there any that would help strengthen them?
Where I work has started offering yoga class once a week. I was wanting more and found Adrienne on FB LOVE the complete beginner, morning , and have now moved on to 30 days!!! At 50 I wanted to keep working out but needed a calmer atmosphere!! Adrienne is perfect for this!! Funny story I really love your videos and the way you don't push to hard but make everything seem nice and easy.
It's totally soothing and still a good way to train. Since i am a physician i frequently work night shifts 7 days in a row on the ICU.
Dear Adriene, God, you, your videos for beginners ajd your way of teaching - the calmness and the space you leave to really breathe and enjoy instead of hsving to rush through and get anxious to be able to keep up - are amazing!! Adriene, thank you for your free videos! I have been on a prescribed diet program and have lost about 50lbs so far with a little more to go. My husband used to do power-lifting competitions over ten years ago, then because of decline in health issues he took up running, but in last two years has gone through neck surgery which has had to do a make-over in his workout routines.
Together, we have started working out with swimming, weights, kayaking, and now adding yoga in-between. I looked up yoga for beginner's on youtube and came across your video for beginners. We are finding yoga to be very helpful for in-between weight training and they step by step explanations is perfect for my husband.
We are subscribing you on youtube so we can use our tablet to watch you in front of us instead of up top where our tv is. I'd just like to know, how long should we keep doing beginner videos before we move into intermediate or more advanced classes? Thank you for the work you are doing. We love your humbling tone, sense of humor, and being able to make this so simple to understand for us that are learning yoga vocabulary. God bless you, your family, and your practice!
I seem to struggle with the easy pose that's not really easy I cant seem to sit crossed leg for one - if I do then i cant get my feet to connect with the earth cant keep my feet on the ground. Her videos are super easy to follow, she seems like a pretty awesome […]. I just wanted to thank you so much for these videos. I have a sitting job, and any sport I've tried just didn't stick with me. But this is fantastic. I'm already in my second week of doing yoga every morning.
Thank you so much, I really needed this. Thank you so much for this. Exactly what I needed. Looking forward to the challenge and where it takes me. Revisiting yoga after many years great for dusting off the cobwebs and seeing how rusty I am!! You can fill the time slots and plan your day accordingly. You can take a print out of your class schedule template or can use it online, though as a tree hugger, we suggest you to save the paper.

Tip: If this pose feels too difficult, try bringing your hands into a prayer pose at your heart, or even slightly parting your feet from each other. Drop your knees to the floor for a half Chaturanga, or opt for Knees-Chest-Chin by dropping the knees, then chest, then chin to the floor using the core still challenging!
Or, in the video tutorial below, Lizette shows you how to properly use yoga blocks to assist you with your Chaturanga. It is important to build a strong foundation. That is why I still recommend this pose even in a beginner yoga routine. I did this when first starting out and it was extremely frustrating to me the amount of upper body strength I lacked, but consistently practicing it lead to me being able to do it a few weeks later, and that boosted my confidence substantially.
Setting goals for your practice and achieving them is the best feeling in the world, and will make you want to keep going and keep improving.
But with that being said, listen to your body and if you are not at a full Chaturanga yet, that is okay! Maybe try to hold it for a short amount of time on your last set before you drop to your knees and build from there. Tip: Feel free to do a modification for this pose such as knees-chest-chin. Tip: If you have a tight low back, spread your legs a little bit wider than your hips to relieve tension.
Tip: There are many variations of pigeon pose if you find it too difficult. For this variations, you can try placing a block under the side of your bent leg to release the tension in the stretch. Tip: Keep your feet flexed and pulling back towards your body throughout the pose to get a deeper stretch and improve flexibility.
Remember, try to hold each pose for 15 seconds, and breathe for those 15 seconds. It is common when first starting to get lost in your mind due to the discomfort. Allow your breath to bring you back to center. Repeat this sequence four times , and switch sides each time. So if your left foot was in front for all the poses that allowed it, make sure your right is in front the next time, then switch.
This provides balance for your body and prevents one side from being more worked on than the other. Remember to allow yourself to rest one minute between sets , and one minute after , preferably in Savasana , known as Corpse Pose.
This is the ultimate resting pose, and is actually much harder than it looks when first starting out! After practicing this routine for the next couple of weeks you are eventually going to want to switch it up.
We highly recommend practicing yoga partner poses for a challenging and fun experience. Want to save this routine for later? Pin the complete beginner yoga routine below! Below are questions we commonly get from beginners wanting to get into yoga who start with this routine.
A good starting point is committing to three days a week at the same time. They do NOT need to be hour long sessions- you can build up as you go! Just starting out with a 20 minute session like this one will help you see results if you are consistent.
If you are struggling maintaining a schedule check out this post on creating a habit out of your yoga practice. A lot of people enjoy working out right when they wake up in the morning as they prefer to practice yoga on an empty stomach , while others enjoy practicing in the evening to help them unwind. This all depends on you and your goals- typically if your goal is weight loss, working out on an empty stomach in the morning is best for burning fat, but if this is NOT your goal, I think whatever time makes you enjoy the practice most and come back to it again and again is the best choice.
Never go into any type of physical activity without warming up. Although this routine has a few poses that can be modified to create a warm up, you want to make sure you do a few gentle poses that wake up you entire body to avoid injury and get you in the correct mindset. We have an article here about why warming up before yoga is so important which comes with a free printable warm up for you to do before or after all your workouts. Try going for a walk or doing a relaxing yoga flow instead.
I hope you found this post informative and helpful, and this becomes one of your new favorite routines to practice! If you struggle the first time, just stick with it and stay consistent- I know you can do it. Pushing through the beginning is the hardest part.
