Halloween Yoga | A Red Riding Hood Adventure
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:16Forest-themed standing movements include swaying trees and balancing in tree pose.
- 3:13An imaginary heavy basket supplies the setup for overhead reaching and side bends.
- 5:22Warrior II on both sides leads into star pose.
- 8:02The practice moves to the floor for a seated basket stretch and gentle spinal twists.
- 10:10A seated forward fold and foot movements give way to blanket-covered relaxation and belly breathing.
Adriene lifts an imaginary basket, stretches beneath its weight and finds a familiar fairy-tale complaint waiting in a forward fold: "Oh, my! What tight hamstrings I have." Behind her, Benji has the less demanding assignment of playing Grandma from his dog bed.
"Red Riding Hood Yoga | A Playful Practice for All Ages" was Yoga With Adriene's only new upload this week, collecting roughly 56,000 views in its first 14 hours. Adriene wears a red cape for the session, which opens with an animated storybook before taking viewers through swaying trees, Warrior II and a red butterfly pose. Annie McCall gets the credit for the art and animation.
The costume isn't just an introduction. Carrying the basket becomes a side stretch; looking through the forest becomes gentle neck movement. By the end, Adriene trades the woodland adventure for a blanket and belly breathing. In the comments, viewers keep returning to Benji's Grandma costume and the hamstring joke, while one parent singles out the absence of music as a reason to try it with their children.
The new practice is also the channel's busiest video right now. "Find Your Flexibility | Full Body Yoga" continues to draw substantial daily attention, with "Wake Up | Gentle 10 Minute Morning Yoga" providing a quieter morning option.
Across the channel, the week brought about 3.3 million views. Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is close to its usual level. MadFit and growwithjo are both running above their typical daily viewing pace; Adriene's week has been more even, with a distinctly unusual guest teacher in a red hood.

OMG, this is perfect. I could never find a calm and fun yoga video for my kids. They are often noisy, distracting with images etc. This is adorable! Can’t wait to show it to them! And thank you for making yoga videos without music. I love your style, keep up the good work! ❤
@maitecatherinedewitSee it on YouTubeThis was absolutely delightful! Brightened up my day, made me laugh and move my body, and what a feast for the eyes with grandma Benji and all the sweet details. Your care for little ones (and big ones) practicing yoga is so clear. Love love
@Kimberly-gf7feSee it on YouTubeI have a feeling that the clear majority of people who are Yoga with Adriene regulars also fall squarely into a Venn diagram of Halloween superfandom
