A list of my favourite yoga videos from Yoga With Adriene on YouTube, along with some notes as to why I enjoy them. These are the videos I keep coming back to.

Workouts

  • Move - Day 27: Strong - 9/10 Intensity, 10/10 Enjoyment

    A more intense practice that focuses on upper-body strength.

  • Move - Day 16: Anchor - 8/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    Includes breathwork, core, side planks, legs, and balance-work.

  • Move - Day 3: Stretch - 6/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    Works on your legs and lower back, with warrior poses held for quite a while.

  • Move - Day 11: Mobility - 6/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    Excellent leg activation with lots of hydrants. Mainly leg + back work.

  • True - Day 13: Strength and Harmony - 7/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    Good core and whole-body exercises. More on the gentle side.

  • Yoga for Abdominal Strength - 8/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    A solid upper-body practice.

  • Lower Body Strength - 7/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    Pretty good practice for the hips and legs. The channel doesn’t have many videos explicitly labelled for lower body (although there are actually quite a few, see above) so I like that this does what it says.

Energising

  • 20-minute Yoga to Shift Perspective- 7/10 Intensity, 10/10 Enjoyment

    Includes side planks and some strength work. Excellent for energising, just enough strength work for a bit of warmth.

  • 20-minute Morning Flow- 7/10 Intensity, 9/10 Enjoyment

    Core work, some difficult poses, overall great energising practice

  • Short Wake-Up Flow - 4/10 Intensity, 7/10 Enjoyment

    Easy practice, gentle full-body flow with some breathwork.

  • Office Break Yoga - 3/10 Intensity, 6/10 Enjoyment

    Pretty good for a break when you’ve been sitting down for a while.

Stretches, some situation-specific

  • 7-minute Post-Run Yoga - 2/10 Intensity, 10/10 Enjoyment

    Does what it says: excellent quad and calf stretches.

  • 13-minute Yoga for Digestion - 1/10 Intensity, 10/10 Enjoyment

    Really good for when you overeat and feel way too full of food. Makes your belly feel better somehow.

  • 13-minute Airport Yoga - 2/10 Intensity, 10/10 Enjoyment

    A quick, standing full-body stretch, excellent for when you’ve been sitting down for a while.

  • 5-minute Full-Body Stretch - 6/10 Intensity, 8/10 Enjoyment

    A good full-body stretch (on the mat) that gets you moving.

Relaxing
