Adrienne 30 days of yoga- MOVE

[Sooverthemill]

Who's signed up? I've done these every year since 2016 and I can't wait! Although my health has been poor this year I've managed to practice at home almost every day. I love the kickstart these give my year

Just did say 12. I didn’t understand some of the poses so just guessed! I’ll do day 13 tomorrow. Think I prefer morning practice.

I had to practice early in the morning yesterday so treated myself to her 15 minutes sunrise session instead. I love this practice and return to it often; doing it yesterday made me realise how hard these 30 day sessions have been in comparison!

I did day 13 this morning. As others have said, very fast paced with lots of content squeezed into 20 mins. I am getting better at some of the balancing poses but crow still defeats me 🙁

Aiming to squeeze day 14 in this eve so I'm all caught up.

Could you link to the sunrise session please? I could do with fitting on a session before work. I’ve just been missing it and doing it before bed.

Day 12 & found it harder than I expected. My arms were not very straight, and crow didn’t even remotely happen. Lots more practise required for that one.
Like the sound of the sunrise session, and I will probably start Move again from the beginning after the 30 days to see if I have improved.

Fingers crossed the link works @Rummikub. It's perfect for just before work imo.

Just done day 12&13 back to back (I don't seem to be getting the notion of yoga every day, and instead seem to be doing 2 in one day every other day! ). I saw my PT yesterday for the first time in at least a month, so am feeling a bit stiff and creaky. Also walked this morning with a friend. Did not enjoy the half splits/half moons - my legs were aching! Crow was very challenging - I really didn't trust my arms to hold me (so a reminder I need to do my physio for my suspected torn rotator cuff muscle...). Downward dog actually felt like a rest position for the first time today!

For those with lower back pain, I can be susceptible to this in yoga too, so I have to be REALLY conscious of engaging my core, and pulling my belly button towards the small of my back, especially when transitioning from plank to downward dog. I also build in some extra time in pigeon pose at the end of a session, and today I popped a physio ball under my right bum cheek, to try and get to the deep piriformis muscle which seems to be linked to my back pain (as advised by osteopath).

That’s really inter about the lower back pain @EmmaStone. The plank to downward dog transition is exactly where I feel weakness so I will try and engage my core more and not just hope for the best!

@cungryhow often I just can't do it, and put my knees down, it's really hard on the back.

Day 14 was short but sweet!

Also playing catch up - day 12 was great this am, then day 13 just now was tough! I really cannot do Crow, tho I am getting better, so hey.

If you get a short practice with Adriene it us often challenging. In contrast her 45 min ones seem to fly by (haha no pun intended )

Day 14 easier - short and sweet

Done day 14 ! I really enjoyed this one - it flew by . Am encouraged by how much stronger I feel in plank and the transition from DD to lunge is definitely improving on my right side at least.

Ooh, great, I've not had a chance all day so just about to do Day 14 now after a lengthy bedtime! Glad to hear it is short and sweet.

@Languidleopard

Thank you for that! Now I have no excuse to skip!

I find myself randomly doing mountain pose or warrior pose throughout the day. Have also found that I can sit cross legged again yay!

I didn't manage yesterday as had a killer migraine so will do days 14 and 15 today.

Day 15! We’re halfway there! 🎉 congrats everyone who’s made it this far.

I’m limping away behind . Can’t do them every day as I have lingering post viral fatigue that I need to manage around other activity, work etc.
But I re-did day 5 today. Still my favourite so far.

Day fifteen done! Very nice too.

For those of you doing it in pjs-are you in the US?

Or am I wrong in thinking it's not out until 10am in the UK?
to be fair I only get dressed to walk the dog so not judging

Hah! Little bit behind, so did Day 13 this morning and I actually got my heels to the ground in DD. Otherwise, it was quite tough, but struggled through, moved into DD and there they were! 👏 myself!

I’m a day behind so have it there when I wake up.

Day 15 done, love knocking on heavens door!

@Sooverthemill thanks for the link - I have a vague recollection of trying the Foundations video when I was first grappling with Crow pose and not making any headway at all. I suspect it’s the upper body strength thing. I’ve never heard of Kassandra - is she worth a look? Adriene has more than enough variety to keep me going, mind …

Day 15 - Reset. I thought it was a nice one and felt good to focus on reset at the halfway point of the programme.

Re: pyjamas, I haven't done many of these in pjs for precisely the reason outlined. Got up this morning raring to go with it and then remembered I would need to wait until 10am so have only just done it now!

I wear leggings, a Bravissimo yoga bra and a T-shirt btw, in answer to the question about clothes. I usually tuck my T-shirt into my leggings to stop it from falling into my face in downward dog.

Looking forward to day 15.
Day 14 was nice and short but I really can’t do the transition into lunge. I drag my leg forward!

I just did day 13 and really enjoyed it. Probably because I haven’t just done a day at work though!
