Dear Adriene of Yoga with Adriene, 

My student teacher and I are huge fans of your YouTube channel, Yoga with Adriene. We love your no-nonsense style and how you can laugh at yourself. We also appreciate all the different routines you have, such as: yoga for the neck, yoga for migraines, yoga for couch potatoes, and yoga for loneliness. Today, we decided to show our class of 7 middle school boys (who are learning English as a second language) one of your seated yoga videos to warm up at the beginning of class. We assumed that, like for us, a bit of yoga would help them get some energy out and relieve stress, while getting them ready for learning.

After that experience, we believe this is a whole niche your YouTube channel may be missing. We have talked about it and we would like to suggest a new routine for your channel: Yoga for Middle School Boys.

This routine should probably include the following poses:
  • Seated twist farting pose
  • Obsessively tapping fingers stretch 
  • Bumping purposely into partner and trying to topple tree pose
  • Loud cat cow noises while doing the cat cow pose
  • I really wish I could stay still for more than 5 seconds but I tried and I really can't Shavasana
  • Excruciating pain noises while standing in eagle pose
  • Standing side bend with onion armpit in classmate's face while everyone screams "ew. disgusting" in English or in their own language ("Ay, fo!!" is the Spanish translation)
  • Wrist stretches in preparation to play Fortnite 
  • Whipping head around laughing like a crazy person stretch

We believe that Yoga for Middle School Boys would be appropriate for ages 12-14, especially. We have 7 middle school consultants who are very vocal and would be happy to help you plan this routine. We are certain that they would even be willing to be filmed doing this routine, dramatically recreating cat cow noises,  screaming "ay fo!", and farting on demand. 

Please let us know what you think of our proposal. In the meantime, we will keep following you and trying out new videos while observing our students add their own individual middle school twists to each pose while we stand there, looking at them in disbelief. Thank you.

Sincerely, 

A middle school teacher who has seen it all, and her student teacher who is learning fast to not be surprised by anything.
