Let’s practice yoga everyday in August!

[Yogachick]

Another attempt for consistency on my yoga practice. Huge benefits when I do ,the accountability on previous threads has helped tremendously. But I’ve lapsed,and can feel the stiffness creeping back. Any support welcome

30 th July but I’m on it early with this delicious Charlie Follows practice

i do yoga most week day mornings. Usually Charlie follows (because an American accent first thing in the morning is more than I can cope with). I run a lot so I’m often a bit decrepit in the morning and yoga helps me to free up.

Greetings @Whataninterestinglookingpotato I used to run but a prolapsed disc has put paid to that. I try to walk at speed to get the same / similar benefits but def need more yoga to keep things moving freely

I do yoga or Pilates almost everyday - if thats ok, id like to join.
im going away for two weeks in august so i will need some motivation to keep going while im away!
Im a member of a yoga/pilates studio and rarely do it online… i like to vary the styles as well…
Today was Pilates
Tomorrow i’m booked for yoga flow

I'm in. Starting 3 weeks annual leave and not going away so hoping to (re-)start some good habits. Need to decide who to follow though.

I'm in! I do yoga classes weekly but never at home and I should. Also home for 6 weeks so a good kick start to home practice. I've not heard of Charlie follows so shall take a look.

Welcome all! @TheVeryThing , there’s lots of great teachers online. YouTube has a huge library of free practices to choose from. I’ve found Charlie Follows to be less talky,her cueing is immaculate and she offers alternatives as she goes along,demonstrating each. She also has weekly playlists. Adriene is a more talky vibe,talks about modifictions but rarely demonstrates. She has a lovely chill way,loads of practices,inc the OG 30 days of yoga series,various themes. Sarah Beth and Kassandra both have 10 min series,super helpful if you’re short of time or ‘encouraging’yourself to the mat. That’s a few off the top of my head,I’m sure others can offer more.
@Placestogo I’m sure you’ll find some options to keep you moving. I’m not au fait with Pilates practices though I believe Kassandra has a Yogalates series which might prove helpful x
@Frugal25 I find yoga benefits to be cumulative so if you can a lot a little more into your life easily there is certainly no downside.I get bored ,which is my excuse for dipping out but that’s a poor excuse,there are many 5/10 min practices out there. I believe @yogaflow from a previous thread has a brilliant consistent run with lots of variety. I’m in awe.
Day 2. Another CF,from her weekly playlists,15 min morning flow,done in the evening as I’ve been busy. I would’ve copped out,it’s been a busy day(on day 2- shame on me as the thread person!)but youve all joined on the quest ,you’ve helped me already just by doing that & I feel better for the practice 🌻

Hi all,
yesterday was yoga flow and today was pilates with kettlebells. It is very hard but i want to be stronger and the weights help me achieve that.
im working towards handstand and i need more core and arm strenght.
im wiiped out now! Going to the pub with friends to recharge! (Alcohol free beer for me please!)

i find working towards a specific goal, helps me keeping the motivation up…

Great thread. I’m in. I have a yogaclass online subscription and I’ve not used it for a while. Need some motivation!

Sounds great @Placestogo well done!
welcome @Seahorse1978 ! What yoga subscription are you using?
Day 3 .I’m having a flare today so started with Adriene’s August calendar. My skin hurts with any pressure & I have a stupid amount of pain today so I struggled with even the 12 mins . There is always benefit though 🌻

I found that working out at home with little ones around hard which is why I don't....
But today I got my yoga dice out. Got DD to throw them and then we did the sequences together. I did have her jump on my back during a deep lunge. Which made it deeper .... But all good fun.
Really enjoyed this morning. Def a new routine to do.
