Hey everyone, Happy New Year.
Welcome to the "Yoga With Adriene" vlog, I'm Adriene.
It's a bright and beautiful new year, I'm so excited.
2015, a lot to look forward to
and a lot of mystery.
There's this joy in the mystery of the unknown
and I can't wait to see what happens in the new year.
So we kicked off the year with "30 Days of Yoga",
super awesome, I am on day six
but you may be on day one or you might be
on day zero, looking to join us.
So I'm here to let you know that you can join us any time.
"Thirty Days of Yoga" is on the YouTube channel,
it's kind of a DIY, do-it-yourself program
meant to inspire you to build a home practice,
transform, let go of the things that are
no longer serving you, and get
strong, tone, and fit!
It's also a really lovely invitation to
just kind of take a look at yourself,
get back to who you are really are.
We spent a lot of time and energy
and a little bit of creativity and fun
making a program that doesn't just
feel like, fitness! Hard! Push! Strong!
I think it's really well-balanced and really fun
and also is something that you can return back to.
So that's on the YouTube channel,
"Thirty Days of Yoga", check it out.
If you wanna be inspired, just look up the hashtag
30 days of yoga and it'll rock your socks off.
Such positivity. In fact, somebody left a
comment the other day that I love,
I even screenshotted it, screen shot it.
It said "there's no hate on here,
no trollin', no hate. Adrian this is awesome, way to go."
And I think that's really cool and really
indicative and really telling of
the community vibe that's surrounding the yoga
and the at-home yoga practice with "Yoga With Adriene."
So right on my friends!
I hope you had a lovely holiday.
I did, it was really nice.
There's always a little anxiety at the end of the videos
as you look ahead and as you look back
and, I had my yoga
and my friends to help me
just remind me to guide myself back to the present moment.
So hopefully this vlog will help guide you
back to the present moment and just say,
even if you didn't transition into the new year
the exact way you wanted to or
everything doesn't seem perfect,
just relish in the moment.
Life is good and we have our yoga practice
or maybe it's something else for you,
running, or walking, or dancing,
or some sort of movement in connection to breath
that can help guide you to the next
present moment and then on to the next.
I got a puppy for Christmas, I don't know if
you saw him on my last vlog.
So I wanted to give you a little update on his growth.
My friend David used to work at a vet office,
he said this is how you pick the puppies up.
I think, more dogs, than to pick the puppies up like this,
just making sure you support them.
So this is Benji, everyone. Hello.
He's a blue heeler, that's a frequently asked question.
He's a blue heeler mix, he's very loving,
he's very smart, it's been really fun to
see him evolve in the last couple weeks.
I am here today at my friend Haila's house,
and Chris' house, and they have a new baby too.
Oh, thanks for the kiss!
So we wanted to come together today
and all say hello and happy new year
and meet the babies.
I feel bad they're meeting my hairy dog baby
and I'm meeting their beautiful actual human baby.
(baby crying)
Benji, anything to say?
(dog squeals)
He said "Om Shanti, Shanti Om."
Thank you, Benji.
Alright, up next I would love to tell you
about something really exciting.
I've had the privilege and the honor to
do a little cooking collaboration with
my friends over at Kin Community.
We've created a show for you called
"Crazy Happy Cooking" and I couldn't be
more excited to work with them and just kind of
dig into other video ideas,
yoga lifestyle and cooking is one of them.
I've done some play with my best buddy Haila cooking,
which I really love and this would be my
second time to play in the kitchen,
if you will, and I've had a great time.
Our first episode just released
and I want you to go check it out.
It's my breakfast taco recipe and
it was a really fun thing to shoot.
So please go over and check it out.
Check out "Crazy Happy Cooking," follow along,
we have many more recipes on the way.
The idea is that these are all recipe-less
What am I trying to say?
Meals. These are all recipe-less meals.
So we're not baking, obviously.
I mean, let's keep it real here.
You might need that recipe to bake.
The first one is breakfast tacos for breakfast
and the idea is that we work with what we have,
we stay flexible and try to make everyone happy
with what we got.
So, if you have organic foods and you have
access to local produce, then great.
But if you don't, we make the best.
We work with what we have and
we always go with the flow in the kitchen as well.
And that can be a practice that you take on this year,
especially if you're not one to like to cook,
or be in the kitchen, maybe you try this year.
So hop on over to "Crazy Happy Cooking,"
I had an awesome time over there.
Check out my California kitchen
and let me know what you think there
over at the breakfast taco video.
Okay, so last but not least, I just wanted
to say thank you, thank you to all my friends who are
already involved in the "Thirty Days of Yoga" journey,
thank you for your inspiration and your stories,
you're definitely inspiring others to join in day by day
so thank you so much.
Thank you for all the beautiful friends that sent me
loving cards and notes over the holiday
and throughout the year, artwork.
I'm gonna try to share them on Instagram and Facebook
so other people can see, whether it's your Etsy
or just your love and your creativity,
I wanna share that and wanna be sure to
thank you for thinking of me over the holiday.
Thank you everyone.
Let's keep up the great work, keep up the positivity.
Don't let anyone rush you, don't let
anyone slow you down. Be exactly where you are today.
You're perfect ♫Just the way you are♫
Let's have an awesome year, alright everyone?
Take care.
Come on Benji, together we bow and say,
"Ow, namaste."
Aww, now you're being good, you're a sweet boy.
