Adriene is starting YOGA CAMP on January 1st!

[CoteDAzur]

The lady we know and love, who has brought us 30 Days Of Yoga, is starting a new series of sessions on YouTube from 1 January called .

This just might be the incentive I've been waiting for to establish a daily practice. Does anyone want to join me?

[quirkychick]

Sounds great! I started the 30 days last year, as someone else recommended it on here... am now hooked!

[Rummikub]

Yes please!

[quirkychick]

Have just done Day 21, just what the doctor ordered! After yesterday's swimming and feeling sore, eagle arms and warrior legs were perfect!

[RubberDuck]

Day 29 done, still on a hard floor! Can't believe I only have one last video of YogaCamp to go :(

[MagicalHamSandwich]

... aaaand I've managed to catch up (or down rather) in that I'm now also a day behind. Had the most stressful week at work and powered right through it but yesterday was finally the day when I simply fell asleep before managing either my yoga or the night at the cinema I had planned.

Never mind, that would be one more day of yoga camp for me, I reckon.

That China gel stuff sounds amazing. Please do find out as what it's sold and where I can buy some. Also, does it smell strongly? I'm horrible with smells, they make me feel nauseous.

For knees I swear by a blanket on my mat. Well, not knees so much but ankles - same basic problem, though, I suppose: painful bones that hit hard surfaces. I've had really protruding ankle and wrist bones since childhood. Poses like pigeon without some padding? Pure agony! On a bad day I'll even suffer simply sitting in a cross legged position. Put some padding underneath and all is well ...

Just waiting for the paracetamol to kick in and banish a low level headache before I embark on the very last day of yoga camp Would very much be up for a continuation thread of other Adriene classes to follow.

You can buy China gel from yogamatters, either through their own site or via amazon.

[MagicalHamSandwich]

Did days 29 and 30 in an effort to catch up. Went great. Feel great!

Then, because I obviously needed a downer in order to keep my feet on the ground, I decided to make some hummus for dinner and fried my blender in the process ... Yay!

Thanks for the China gel tip, I'll definitely look into it.

[cece]

I've ordered some china gel from Amazon and yes it does have a strong smell. But to me it seemed a nice smell. Not unpleasant like deepheat.

[Talisin]

Well, I'm done and to be perfectly honest, I was not a big fan of todays session. I didn't want to freestyle, I like more structure to my practice i.e I want to be told what to do! On the plus side, my new Chromecast worked perfectly with youtube. Guess I need to look through some more of her vids now to decide what to do in February so I don't start slacking off again which I find all too easy

[Fatrascals]

Hi everyone
Yesterday I did "hangover yoga" for obvious reasons! I was still chuffed with myself for getting on the mat at all though!

Today I did days 21 and 22. I wasn't feeling the love really- I didn't really get into my groove but I did it.... I think it was me and not the yoga sessions.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

Up early so did day 29. I'm having a wisdom tooth out later today so was feeling a bit sad that it might be a while before I do day 30. But if it's like 30 days of yoga I might give it a miss as I also like being told what to do Talisin

I like the idea of us all doing yoga in various living rooms around the country, follow on thread sounds good

[CoteDAzur]

Good luck at the dentist's Rhinestone.

Well done for getting on that mat today, everyone I've been free styling a bit, as managed to hurt my wrist the other day at the yoga studio (handstands - why?!).

[MagicalHamSandwich]

... and that's why I'm too scared to try handstands right there!

1st day post yoga camp ... and since I'm off early today I suppose I'll drop in for a class at my regular studio tonight. It's hips tonight according to their online schedule and mine certainly need it.

[RubberDuck]

Day 30 done! I don't normally like extended freestyle - like others I like being told what to do! However, just seemed to hit the spot today. Still in a hotel, so following a tiny iPad screen can be tricky at the best of times and I just had better inspiration of what my body needed today that was practical in hotel space. Also treated myself to a five minute shavasana at the end which was wonderful!

It's funny. A year ago I'd have thought trying to keep up a yoga practice while away from home was nuts, but it's been really good for me as a way to decompress in the afternoon before heading out for dinner and to deal with the aches and pains of travelling.

[RubberDuck]

My yoga space at the hotel - iPad usually balanced precariously on that chair!

[MagicalHamSandwich]

Oh, yay, hotel room yoga ... Brings back memories!

I remember spending a week in a business hotel in some Czech backwater last spring. All day meetings then strategy session with my team at the bar during which everyone got mildly pissed then yoga on the hotel room floor. Repeat every day for a week. I got bad carpet burn but was the only one of us still capable of being coherent when we arrived back on Friday night - and that's how I earned my last promotion.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

Tooth successfully removed yesterday, feeling pretty good considering. Sedation was fab!

Taking it easy for a few days so no yoga, cycling or running. Didn't realise that I'd miss it so much...

[quirkychick]

I haven't done any yoga for a few days either Rhinestone, as it has been a bit mad here. We had a house guest at the weekend, so it was busy, dd2 was unwell on Monday and today we have workmen in. Tomorrow and Friday should be easier, so I am looking forward to catching up with Yoga Camp and Headspace! I am really missing it.

[MagicalHamSandwich]

Proud to say I've managed to keep up my post-yoga-camp daily practice so far. And I'm getting better. Managed a ten seconds crow yesterday!

[Fatrascals]

Hi ...I missed one day yesterday (first one in the month..... Was just too exhausted)

Today I did day 25 "I am strong" and I felt STRONG!

[quirkychick]

Well done, Magical!

Back on the Yoga Camp, I did day 22 today. I did do some bodyweight exercises yesterday including some pull-ups - really feeling those muscles today as I haven't done any for ages. Felt much better for the salutations to the sun yesterday and Yoga Camp today. I had hoped to do 22 and 23 but a combination of a confusion at dd2's school and lack of charge on my tablet meant it was not to be!

[CoteDAzur]

Hi everyone - Congratulations to those who have finished Yoga Camp and those who are continuing with it I have managed to hurt my hips again with a yoga class so remained in the bench this week. I'll try to finish this weekend.

[quirkychick]

I managed day 24 early this morning. Hope you feel better soon, Cote. I have restarted my weights, but it is a different kind of strength to yoga! I haven't done any for almost 2 months, what with a chest infection over Christmas and Yoga Camp. The challenge is to manage both.

[thegiddylimit]

Still going here but just in the teens. Not done any yoga camp since Wednesday (regular class on Thursday, 1h swimming Friday evening) and just considering getting on the mat now but daytime often results in DS (age 3) lying on top of me and saying 'Mummy, you're not doing the same as her, you need to do this' and not quite realising that I can't do what she is doing because he is on top of me.

[cece]

Ah I found you! This thread dropped off of my threads I'm on and had to go hunting.

Been to class today. Embarrassed to say I am due to do day 14 tomorrow.
