Join me for this stretchy 30-minute low to the ground yoga practice for the back and hamstrings! This gentle class invites a full body awareness and focuses on a deep opening of the muscles around the hips, lower back, and legs.
Our hamstrings can get tight when we sit too much or when we overtrain the quadriceps. When this happens, the hamstrings begin to pull down on the sit bones, making the pelvis and hips tight and flattening the natural curvature in the low back.
Create stability while welcoming in a relaxing release as we work to invite equilibrium to both mind and body. Build your practice toward Sleeping Vishnu Pose! Breathe deep, move mindfully, and enjoy!
Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!

Loving Benji and of course you to Adriene ❤thanks 💝
Thank you so much 🙏!
I just love you!! ❤ Thanks
I learned a lot of things about my body through this today 😀 For example that the muscles in my left leg are super tight compared to my right leg while my right hip is much tighter than my left. But I do feel great after this practice and will definitely keep coming back to it <3 And props to everybody else for showing up, too ^^
Buddy please.❤
Greetings from a rainy Sunday in Austria
A year ago as I was hit by Guillain-Barre and thus a quadriplegic I also learned (while in the hospital) that my partner was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. One of my most treasured recovery partners has been – and continues to be – my yoga time with Adrienne. Thank you, Adrienne. Your movements, voice, spirit, and heart have helped me relearn to walk and use all of my four appendages. Dhanyavad.
I've had a spot on the lower left side of my back that's been uncomfortable for a while, like a constant feeling it needs to pop but no matter how I twist or move it won't pop that spot. It got to a point that that spot was hurting from the feeling of needing to pop. I decided to try this video before bed and the pain was less so I could sleep. The next day, no pain! Not even the feeling of needing to pop or crack in that spot! Thank you!
Great videos Adriene love it!
A very nice day
Enjoyed this sequence – my lower back appreciated it. Great cueing. Thanks.
Love this practice❤️
i had some incredible breaths to this one today, thank you!
Lots of love from Zürich ; your way / art/ humor / voice / guidance is the best start for the day❤
!! love yoga with you, Adrienne !!
Thanks for all your wonderful work🙏🏼
I started crying with the side stretch of each leg, no idea I had that bottled up. Yoga is impressing and beautiful that way.
My wife and I work with you almost every morning. I learn more about my body, reaching past limitations, connecting to such beautiful places ❤❤ thank you so much 😊
Hi Adrienne, I adore your videos !!!
But do you really have to mention "yoga with Adriene" several times during the video while – at the same time – you are speaking of being humble? Silke
This is one of my favorite video/workouts. As I see Benji with Adriene, my cats are giving me loving nudges while I do my poses. Not only does my body feel great after these sessions, it does equally impressive great things for the mind as well.
Discovered yoga a little later in life…..soon to be 60 and loving what it does for my head and body. Thank you.
YOU are AWESOME!! As a menopausal woman I never thought my body would be so tight. You’ve helped me to work on that and not feel stupid about it (even though I’m by myself😂) when you mention how I might feel or the variations I could use. Thank you!!!
Love it ❤
Thanx a lot, nice class
I'm easing into retirement, and am trying to do YWA at least 4x a week. It feels SO GOOD! My body has been giving me lots of grief for the last few years, along with a lot of mental stress.
Thank you Adrienne for these fantastic videos!! Both the mental and physical benefit of your inner peace and yoga practice is truly a treasure for the whole world to enjoy. Thank you!!
I had such a hard time with this video, it took so much of my concentration to keep breathing and keeping my body calm. For a long while it has been really hard to love myself and these practice with youis really helping me come back to center, anyway at the end of this video my body was feeling all nice and tingling so maybe this video today really did for me well. Thank you so much for all our videos, each one is amazing and somehow accurate❤
Just what I needed! Thank you❤
Yup.
Yoga with Adrienne is wonderful!
22:56 I audibly said “damn!” LMAO. Love this practice!!!
This was perfect!
Really need to start doing yoga for my lower back issues, so thank you 😊🙏🏾
I've been looking for a yoga practice like this for a long time, so thanks!!! ❤
Thank youu
2026 and still an amazing session, thank you very much 🙏🫶xx
