Home - 30 Days (Adriene)

[KittyMcKitty]

Very excited when the email came this morning! Is anyone else up for this?

Just echoing everyone else day 15 was amazing- all my favourite poses in a fantastic flow - will do today often I’m sure.

Hmm, I must have been the only one who didn’t like today’s session. I struggled to do most poses and keep up. I have a lot of sinus pressure today which makes putting my head down uncomfortable.

I do like warrior 2 pose as well, though I think I did the same side twice!

@MooseyMoo I also think I did the same side twice. 😆

I have also worked out that I will never ever do yoga in public.
The noises! 🤭

@poorbuthappy 😁 I normally check which of her legs/feet she’s using but got bit confused today!

I can also not do yoga in public. I belch for most of it 😳

@Moosey sometimes she says the wrong side eg left for right which is good because she's not perfect.

I was idly wondering today if she actually has 365 different pairs of leggings

Day 15 done and another hit for me. Really enjoyed it, even though side planks are way beyond me at this stage.

I also feel like the posters here read my mind - Adriane does get it wrong and leaves us with our backs turned to the screen way too much for the first repetition when the other way makes much more sense. And also re the leggings - I particularly liked yesterday’s look!

Does anyone else think she resembles Meghan Markle in the “drinking tea” shot at the opening credits?

Sycamore, I thought that too! Though I have faceblindness so not the most reliable judge....

Right, pyjama trousers on, socks off, mat out, here we go.

Ahh, nice practice. Though I'm another who ended up on the wrong side of the mat! I also always have my laptop screen in the wrong place - if I put it on the sofa it's all floorwork and if I put it on the floor it's all standing poses and either way I'm craning my neck or struggling to see. Maybe I should get one of those round mats from the link upthread!

I’m very behind after struggling into the new year but I completed day 6 today.
Not helped by my dog climbing under me while in down dog (she’s no Benji!) and my cat trying to stab me.
I do classes once a week which I really love and benefit from but I love Adriene and practising yoga in my pjs! I need a mat though, we have an old slate floor and I’m using a rug but I really think I’m going to do myself some damage either by slipping or breaking my kneecaps. I think tkmax May be the only place near(ish)by. Does anyone know if they are any good?

I found today's a bit too fast and some of the moves were quite hard.

Although i finally twigged tonight she always starts on the right leg, so that helped me follow her. And yes to having your back to the screen. I had my iPad on the coffee table and was watching her upside down through my legs.

Whew, day 15 was brilliant! Lovely flow and most of my favourite positions too. I was really surprised that I managed the side planks - a bit wibbly perhaps but I did them, the 15 days has definitely done some good somewhere! It was a struggle getting the mat out this evening but really pleased that I did. Definitely one to bookmark and return to again.

@Redcrayons I have a TKMaxx mat, I'm sorry but I can't remember the brand as I threw the packet away and it's not marked. I seem to recall it had a brown paper label (maybe), and it's a grey marble pattern if that helps you identify it in store. It's definitely better than just the carpet, I can sometimes feel my hands slipping a bit in down dog but otherwise it's ok. Disclaimer: it's the only one I've ever owned though so I don't have anything to compare to!

@Redcrayons I've just googled and it's an Oak and Reed mat. I mainly chose it as it was an extra long one (I'm tall) and because it's pretty

@MamehaSan was the info about the mat for me maybe?
Thank you! I will have a look today on my break. I remember having one in the past the was too squishy and the dc pinched it for camping (never to be seen again after scout camp!). Maybe even if I get a for now one it will be better than what I’m using. It might encourage me to continue after the 30 days

TKMaxx can be very variable because their stock keeps changing. It's worth seeing what they've got there and getting your phone out in the shop to search for reviews. I have a cheap aldi one which does the job well enough.

I have this one:

and find it fab - v grippy.

The squishy ones are best for Pilates but for yoga a non slip one is good. For about 4 years I used a £7.99 tk maxx one . Then I bought myself a liforme one for my birthday

Lovely session today. Sooo good. Similar to day 8 of Revolution for those who have done that 30 days ( I have it bookmarked)

Oops, yes that was meant for you, Keepmewarm! Sorry for spamming you, Redcrayons

I loved today’s session!

@Sooverthemill I was wondering how many pairs of leggings she has 😂

@Redcrayons love the image of you watching upside down and through your legs 😁 We’ve got a smart tv so can watch YouTube on it.

Day 16 and it's lovely being more than halfway. Again I liked today's session which flowed nicely for me, I like it when I can keep up. I think I will look into a new mat too, this was a cheap one off Amazon.

Really enjoyed today, good mix of exercises and stillness.

But I did it this morning, I’ve been doing all the others in the evening. I’m feeling a little bit sad that I haven’t got it to look forward to.

@MooseyMoo I have a smart tv but unfortunately it’s smarter than me and I need some technical support from the teens to find YT.

@MamehaSan thanks for the Matt info

I didn't love today but really enjoyed yesterday's - bookmarked for future use. I can't believe how fast this is flying by!

Thanks all for mat help. I picked one up but haven’t tried it yet. I had my yoga class today and use her mats. I’ll try it tomorrow. 🙏

Had a sneak peek at tomorrow's! Looks lovely though 29 minutes. Some warrior 2. Nothing too hard looking ( I'm a member so get it 12 hours earlier via the app but don't ever do it early!)

Day 16 was less successful for me - mainly because I did it during the day with DS2 in tow. Imagine a less compliant Benji sitting at the end of my mat, interjecting with "Is this "yogo", Mummy?" and demanding help with his sticker book. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't quite get into the groove, somehow...

Good luck with the new mat Redcrayons Keepmewarm!
