Home: 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene

[PaulHollywoodsSexGut]

Happy new year all!

It’s January 1 and that means another 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene :)

Here she is. I’ll definitely not manage the full 30 days but who’s in?

Just did 9 and 10. Felt really stiff and distracted for most of 9 so it felt good to carry on with another one (although meant more chair poses!). Enjoyed the hip stretches on day 9.

Just did day 10 but as it's Sunday and I have more time than usual I felt it wasn't long enough. So I did a day 10 from the 2015 series which focussed on sun salutations, then went back and did this year's Day 8 which I had skipped. So about an hour of yoga today. I'm feeling great and I know it hasn't been long since starting but I really feel I'm getting stronger already - plank is much easier than it used to be for example. I think I'll continue to do at least a bit of yoga every morning from now on as I think there will be a lot of benefits.

Uh oh crow pose today!

Long time lurker here but jumping on because I’ve missed doing Adriene for a week and need to get back on it! I’ve done up to day three and it sounds as though the pace has really picked up since then!

No yoga yesterday as I’ve hurt my elbow. We have a cheapo adapter socket thingy that it’s almost impossible to get plugs out of. And it gives me the rage. So a sore elbow and some not very yogi swearing.
I’m up to day 8. Noticing that bending or squatting down to pick stuff up is much easier. I weigh about 4stones too much so it’s resistance work too

I’ve been doing Home as well as REDJanuary and normal yoga. I finding it less enjoyable than in the past, maybe because I do yoga more regularly now? I feel as if I am going through the motions rather than taking part with pleasure. Will hang on in there.

Day 10 flew by today. I didn't make the Crow though. Might have managed to lift my legs by a nanosecond but then face planted!

I did 9 and 10 back to back this morning. 9 really made my legs burn. I also find it quite hard to do so much downward dog/ plank etc. As my arms get wobbly. Is that normal? I always feel like she treats downward dog as a rest pose but that's 100% not the case for me! Also who actually got their knee to kiss the opposite knee under them. The time I got closei fell over haha. Am really enjoying it though.

Enjoyed 10 a lot.

Kiss the opposite elbow not knee!

I just realised when I say day 10 I mean the one she calls day 10 but actually the 11th session. I was thinking I dont recall doing a crow but that's why I think.....unless I missed a bit with the kids interrupting! Nothing quite like killing the yoga mood mid routine as the toddler shouting he needs his bum wiped now!

I have the same issue with dc interrupting me! Mine are old enough to know better but still can't seem to allow me 20 minutes of peace

I’m only on day 4 as I also run and, well, life is busy 😀

I’m really not a yoga person but like Adrien’s videos and how she explains the moves. Still have to twist my neck to check I’m doing it right though! Got a bit of a cold so downward dogs have been hard to do and breath but I like the stretch in my hamstrings. Can’t imagine having my heels on the floor! My ds(10) decided to crawl underneath me too!

I won’t be doing a video a day but I’m hoping to finish the course and get more flexible and have some core muscles.

Yesterday was great but today's handstand was never going to happen!

Day 12- lovely. A little stretching and a lovely wrap up and lie down in your quilt. Do it!

Oh that does sound good. I went to a yoga class in my lunch hour and was debating whether to do this tonight but if it's all stretchy and warm then I'll definitely go for it.

So the crow was interesting....I pretty much just sat and watched after wobbling a bit! Enjoyed the rest of that session a lot though.

Still a day behind, just done 11 - may do 12 now if it’s a gentle one! I was very wobbly today 😬 I was noticing a difference doing yoga everyday, but progress has slowed down where I’ve been slacking. Onwards!

Did 12 just now, both tomorrow's and one I've missed are short enough I may do one in the morning to get back to my morning yoga.

Benji gave me a good laugh this morning

I enjoyed yesterday's crow (although my shoulder hasn't today... for about 18m it's begrudged any kind of weight bearing like that ). I put my block under my head, not to place the weight on but to give me confidence that I'm not about to faceplant

Done day 13, nice to do it early!

I have exactly the same problem with my children WreckedTangled! Definitely old enough to know better

Just did days 9, 10 and 11 together as all white short. I skipped days 7 and 8 for now as I wanted something more dynamic. Planning on coming back to them on a day that suits my mood better. I think day 7 stretch might be nice for after a run.

*quite short

I realise I am bringing up the rear here, ut I love her and have found her exercises accessible for me. I have back problems and want to stay supple whilst ot getting beaten into the ground. Just found the thread. I'm going to give it a shot

I had a cat under me while doing Downward Dog yesterday. It's like she knows... At least it wasn't a poorly balanced plank.

Well done to everyone who is still going! Day 13!

I'm still here, managed each day so far. I've been doing it in the evenings as I'm not a morning person at all. Enjoying it so far although I've never been able to do crow, even when I was at my most yoga-ish best! Any clues as to what's in store for me on day 13? Really very tired this evening 😴
