Yoga for Overthinking | 30 Minute Yoga Practice

1


Meet me on the mat for a yoga practice designed to gently guide you to the present moment and out of rumination. Overthinking – many of us have been here. There are many reasons one may end up in a pattern of overthinking. It can be hard to function when this occurs, and it can be a result of many things going on in our life, as well as living in an overstimulated world.

This practice is here for you when you are experiencing racing thoughts, mental worry, or decision fatigue. For those days when you need to clear the mental clutter and return to the power of now. It’s not just what we do on the mat but how present we are with what we are feeling- noticing and acknowledging the thoughts that arise and letting them fall away with every intentional breath. Let’s embody stillness together as we move through a grounding flow to soothe an overactive mind.

Much love!

  1. HI!!!! This session is great preventative care, from a yoga therapy perspective. It is also here for you when you are experiencing racing thoughts, mental worry, or decision fatigue. For those days when you need to clear the mental clutter and return to the power of now.

  2. Wait is Vera Hart’s archetype quiz actually about how different people manifest differently? Because that would explain why everyone gives completely opposite advice. I might need to try this.

  3. I feel like I struggled most of my life with how to manifest. Sometimes it felt so out of reach that I decided to give that archetype quiz by Vera Hart a try, and it really did wonders. It matched my personal archetype exactly, and that’s how I finally figured out how to do it properly. I highly recommend anyone who struggled like me to try it as well! It only takes a couple of minutes anyway ❤️

  4. For most of my life I searched for the right way to manifest, without success. Then I came across Vera Hart's archetype quiz. Out of curiosity I filled it in, and the result hit the core of who I am. I've approached things very differently ever since. A recommendation for anyone who feels stuck.

  5. Thank you with all of my heart, this video saved me today. My anxiety has been thru the roof the last couple of days and this video literally chilled me out. I told myself do it anyway, Betsy, and I am so grateful. ❤

  6. TRUTH 🌷 DAY 14-15/06/26
    I couldn’t do this yesterday because of my cycle. My body and joints are just aching so much. I feel better and I liked that phrase finding comfort in the discomfort. I thank my body for pushing through and I thank you Adriene for being there. See everyone tomorrow 🩷

  7. I admire the production value of your series. How did you get the audio so clean with no echos from the room:? are you mic'ed? On a non technical note, thank you for all you do. you make the world a better place and I am grateful.

  8. Truth, June 14, 2026, month 6. Yesterday usually was a weekend prep of setup for a startup of work Monday. I wasn't exactly feeling it, but I was anxious about the prep and planning and the lists of things to do. That, followed by a long commute for a brunch to attend. Add to that, some high temperature beginning of summertime heat. The prep got delayed for the day, which turned out to be a little blessing from the universe.

    Today when I woke this morning, I had some sort of a switchup where I gave a big nope to any stress for the day. I slowed down to make tea, and focus on me before heading out for prep. Felt like a huge weight was lifted once I stopped the hamster wheel running through all the to-do's for today, tomorrow, the rest of the week, the next several weeks, and so on. And then today's yoga practice is all about pausing on overthinking.

    The idea of this flow didn't quite come to mind until the end, and the lightbulb went off. It felt so good and peaceful. I slowed down, relaxed and am now in a great frame of mind to just chill and go with the flow. Que sera and all. ✨

  9. TRUTH – June 2026 Day 14 and I was able to get through this awesome strength-building practice without huffing & puffing! My abs are still sore from 3 days ago, still invisible .. oh well. insert massive eyeroll lol Sending love & gratitude to Adriene, Benji, and the wonderful community here. Have a great Sunday and I'll see you all tomorrow! We. Got. This. ❤‍🩹

  10. Love the pair of this practice with the new moon in Gemini and some other current transits that bring overthinking full bore for me. Seeing this as todays flow felt like divine MAGIC! 🎉 May there be Love. 🙏🦋🤍

  11. TRUTH l🦋 ❤🦋l Day – 14 l June 14, 2026 l Blessed Beloved Beauties! Ah, I experienced a major energy shift. I definitely overthink sometimes. Transparent moment: everything has been off the past two weeks with inconsistencies with my Hatha Yoga Studies, cardio, and heavy weight training. I'm excited to get back on track this week. I'm returning to my long distance run 🏃🏿‍♀️, calisthenics, and heavy weight training 💪🏿 after my Kemetic Yoga Studies next, and I'm challenging myself to complete this return to fitness 7 days in a row to get my groove back. I'm going to save this session. Best wishes everyone! 🦋❤️🦋

  12. Just a lovely rinse. I've been away doing other morning activities for some time. My body came back so quickly to your voice and guidance. It was literally like coming home. Thank you. Thank you.

  13. After I relaxed after the cycling I just burst into tears. There's been a lot going on (to put it mildly) and I haven't been able to talk to anyone about how I feel so it all just came out, but that's a good thing! I've been feeling emotionally pent up so it helped a lot just to get it out, even if just a little bit❤‍🩹
