Day 6 – Light | MOVE – A 30 Day Yoga Journey – Yoga With Adriene

What is one core reason you are practicing yoga?

Agree with the comments that this was more of an advanced-level practice that could have been situated later in the 30 day queue (…or is there even “stronger” core work to come??). But Adriene is here to challenge us, for sure.

Just a reality check: I have very strong core muscles, and I found this challenging. And as Adriene says, we are not where we will be on day 30 – you and I will continue to learn, change, evolve, and all that is required is that we trust the process and grant ourselves compassion and grace. We did our best today, and today’s best is just ✨perfect✨

I struggled and through that struggle, through reminding myself that I can do hard things, a fresh fierceness was born.

I like this one. It's difficult but feels achievable…… one day. Thank you. :))

Excited for all 30 days, but I had to keep looking at the screen to figure out what we were doing today and it broke my form a number of times. I’ll have to feel the burn another day 🔥

Because of my schedule today I ended up doing this in the middle of the day…. I'm not if I need to wake up or slow down.

What brand of mat do you use please Adrienne?

Today was slightly painful, extremely challenging, very very difficult. And yet I loved it! I've taken ten minutes to sit down on the couch and breathe and process it. I loved that so many of us joined her in something so challenging. Halfway through I decided to stop trying my hardest to match the moves perfectly, to modify slightly and be kind to myself. Yet at the same time I still wanted to push myself as hard as I could've. I feel so, so satisfied and proud now that it was completed. All of us should. No matter which way that you tackled this, no matter how many breaks you took or how many steps you missed, you showed up! 🎊 That's all it's about.

We did it!!!

Wow! I had to modify or decide ok 3 sets of this, or even stop and come back BUT there were so really cool different core workouts in this practice. Maybe some of these exercises end up on FWFG because I know you have more progressive strengthening practices over there but these practice were very FRESH for me. Im sure even my yogi is developing or finding new ways to deepen the practice. Thanks for the time you spent on this one Adriene. I know you spend time on all of it but I think you did some exploring to develop this practice 💕

Day 6

I found that so hard but not in my core in my shoulders 😅

This was really hard, but I come back to the mat, cuz I always feel better afterwards ❤️❤️❤️

Found this one much easier as the last few as it let off of the wrists a little haha. Loved the hip openers, all the tightness I had is gone. Thanks again Adriene.

I've been recovering from a November foot surgery and this practice has kick started me. A few of the poses get adjusted (no downward dog pressure on my metatarsals!) but I am so appreciating the love, the flexibility, the focus on flow.
My core reason for practicing is to stay happy and healthy through this life, despite setbacks. I think that we could call it resiliency.

This was really quite a good class, you are my default Adriene so it's good to be stretched beyond the regular manageable levels. It's all so perfect because in easier classes one can self extend but today i got a sense of just how challenging it is to capture the varying levels of physicality that watch you. But you bring all levels into it. Thank you !!

Thank you, Adriene, for making these challenges and yoga videos for almost a decade now, and helping me learn to love my own movement for over five years. Your channel is truly a blessing.

However, this practice felt off – I'm not a huge fan of Day 6, but usually it's because I'm frustrated with my own core strength, not because the practice is difficult to follow or doesn't feel like yoga. Some of the transitions were poorly narrated (e.g., moving from the hip lifts to cobbler's pose and back again), several of the movements were very heavy on the shoulders, with barely any warm-up, and the end was just an aerobics class – straight up crunches. This was disappointing, mostly because it didn't feel like it was in line with your many previous takes on yogic core work and there wasn't much of a flow to it. All in all, I'm sorry to say that this practice left me feeling frazzled and sort of like it wasn't a complete practice at all.

Here's hoping it's just a fluke, though, because the rest of the challenge so far has been excellent!

Not saying that I didn't fill the swear jar during this practice, but MOVE Day 6 is my new favorite core workout.

Had to do a ton of modifications with this one but didn't feel discouraged! Next time I run through this 30 day challenge (because I know i will return to this one), I know I'll be stronger when I reach day 6 again, and will be better at the stretches and movements.

I’m a day behind so that I can do this before work (they’re released late morning in my time zone). Me and my boyfriend almost broke the streak today but at 10pm after doing alll things I needed to do I came to my mat. We did it! On a roll 😁✨

This was a challenging day! I noticed a shift in thought though…instead of judging myself for struggling, my inclination was to think “well, it will be great to be able to see progress at the end of the 30 days!”

I also found myself obsessed with those leggings…any idea where they are from?

Wonderfully challenging practice! Such creative ways of lighting up our cores! Namaste and lots of love.

I think I’ll take hipdips over side-planks any day of the week 😂 (although I might regret saying that later…) 😝

I've never wanted to quit a practice more lol
