Runners lunge is quite hard on my knees even on the thickest yoga mat, but with your tip on using blankets to pad the knees... everything just comes into place!

In reply to joyce. Hi Joyce! It is really up to you and what feels good in your body. Trust your intuition! There are so many good playlists on the YouTube channel - like Yoga for beginners, Yoga for Healing the Body, Gentle Yoga, etc. You could do some of those and then go back to TRUE. Or just take TRUE at your own pace - maybe working on one video for multiple days. There are many ways to make the practice your own! :)

Thanks so much for these foundations videos. I am not new to yoga but it has been quite some time. I am having problems with periformis/hip flexor tightness and pain as well as overall tightness and weakness. I am under lots of medical care and they approve of me working with your videos. Iam working with the True 30 day series and am also starting doing one or two of the foundation videos per day. Thing is Iam at day 15 and trying to figure out whether Ishould maybe just start over. Day 15 was really hard to get through... or should Ijust keep going through the days and just do the best Ican. I am very careful with form. It's just really hard to do certain things... like get from downward dog back to lunge. The longer sessions. Things like that. The foundation videos make it clear it is a matter of time, attention, practice and releasing the negative self talks that are locked upin the stiff places. But can you advise and encourage? Should Igo back with a renewed beginners mind? Or keep on?

So much love and thanks for all you are offering here. You are such a sweet, calming, nurturing presence and Icelebrate you! And Benji of course!

Hi Adrienne,
I was recently diagnosed with OA of the spine. What yoga do you think would be good to stretch out the entire body? I have it in also in my left kneecap and that needs to be stretched out also. Thanks so much.

In reply to yoga teacher training. There are a lot of good yoga teacher training programs, but definitely nothing that could be covered by only one video, or with a small fee. Teacher training programs are usually at least 80 hours of intensive in-person training and normally cost at least several thousand dollars.

Adriene!!! HI! I love you and everything you do! I am, however, in need of some advice. I Have some very big "girls" who like to get in the way of things. I also have what i like to call my "baby sag" after 2 kids. Kinda looks like my prego belly deflated and decided to take permanent residence. These things have kept me from finding a comfortable way to do lunges. I have little problem doing so in most other poses. Help would be much appreciated, since lunges are now my least favorite posture. Thanks! Trying to find what feels good, Silver<3 Namaste

Hi, Adriene

I found this yoga video incomplete! let me tell you why. You are showing the posture only with your left leg stretching, you missed to show how to do it with the right leg. Because of that we missed to watch the "thumb" thing that you did on your waist on your left side because it was not your camera facing side. Kindly put a new video of this asana performing with both of your legs.

The other thing that I want to tell you is this...
It is only because of you that I am performing yogasana daily !! In the past I have made countless attempt to do so but failed miserably. Then one day I watched "..little goes long way" video and then found this Foundation Series. It is only because of this Foundation Series that I am now able to do it daily. I have made a habit of watching only one new asana each day in the morning and practicing all the previous asanas and the newly watched asana in the evening. I am really enjoying this.

PS: I also love to watch the witty comments and expression you make during the asana.

Thank You &
Lots of affection,
Vaibhav.
