I've done some today from YouTube. Really relaxing. Plus I've got a bit stiff lately and it's helped.

I've just emailed the desk links to my work email to try later, thanks! When I get concentrated on work I sometimes get bad shoulders/neck, stretches definitely help.

Hah! Great minds think alike @incognitomum!

I'd done both yoga and Pilates periodically in the past, and had just restarted Pilates (unfortunately a very advanced class for me, so somewhat glad it had to stop 😊)

I've managed a YwAdrienne about 3 times in the past 2 weeks, I know I should do more but at least it's some movement.

I've never done yoga before (am 38) and started 30 Days with Adriene last week and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long.
I feel stronger, I love the headspace it gives me, and my tight runner's calves are already feeling better.

I hope it helps Errol
I was surprised how effective such a short session was, and I have recommended it to several colleagues too.

@incognitomum yes I do have IBD,
I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Will have to do some research!

ErrolTheDragon · 30/03/2020 12:11

I'm intending to give them a try and then probably will circulate the links.Smile

incognitomum · 30/03/2020 12:36

@GoldBoo yes it may do?

Yes! My family have a studio and we've built our own online platform but I've also been supporting my local studio (live in different city) with yoga and pilates.

I really would urge you if it's possible with your financial situation to consider supporting some of your local teachers, lots of these are self-employed and their income has just disappeared overnight.

But either way enjoy your yoga! 🙏

I do Pilates at home . I have some kit as bought a Pilates pack ages ago and can remember the exercises the teachers at my gym did . Miss going though - never mind it will reopen and at least they’ve temporarily cancelled monthly subscriptions .

I do various youtube yoga classes, at least one a day at the moment. As well as Adriene, I like Yoga with Kassandra, and Cole Chance. They both have loads of beginner practices, as well as more advanced ones and you can search by length, or style.
Namaste!

ErrolTheDragon · 01/04/2020 11:23

I did another of the adriene vids this morning. I've not worked out how to navigate YouTube on the tv via AppleTV but the first choice was a morning one so I just went with that. It was nice, nothing too hard. Smile

Place marking for later - so bloody stiff with all this hunching over a laptop trying to work from home.

Toddler DS and I have been doing those daft toddler yoga ones Grin rather enjoyed the we're going on a bear hunt one.

Onceuponatimethen · 01/04/2020 11:30

Me!! Going to read back through the thread now - can see there are some great links

ErrolTheDragon · 01/04/2020 11:32

I've not yet tried the desk yoga links upthread but they may be what you need first.
I wfh writing code anyway, taking breaks is important- set a timer at 10 to the hour if you tend to get engrossed.

incognitomum · 01/04/2020 12:34

I've done some exercises with elastic bands today and will do some yoga later.

@ErrolTheDragon glad to read you're still doing it Smile

In the event I found it a bit hard to stick to doing YouTube yoga, but now my lovely Pilates instructor has begun zoom classes - first one this morning.Smile
