A grounding yoga session for overwhelming moments: gentle movement and breathwork on the mat to calm racing thoughts.
Adriene offers this practice for moments when everything feels like too much. It begins with a grounding practice to bring your awareness back inward, then moves into intentional movement and breathwork to help you reconnect with your body. It runs about 26 minutes on the mat and is held as a gentle, safe space to pause.
Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious or mentally scattered who wants a gentle, grounding practice to settle back into the body.
Who Is It Not For?
Not the right pick if you want a physical challenge or a workout; it is a calming practice, not a substitute for professional mental health support.
Key Benefits
Helps you slow down, reconnect with your body and breath and settle an overactive mind and nervous system.
Things to Keep in Mind
Move gently and skip anything that feels uncomfortable; if distress is persistent or severe, seek support from a health professional.
