Being TRUE to ourselves in July YWA daily thread

[Sooverthemill]

This is for those of us who Have been doing Move since January. Trying TRUE in july
@ shannith

Well you people are going to LOVE day 6! Excellent session today even after a painful osteopath appointment yesterday

4 and 5 done. Loved them.

Is this sarcasm?! I am wary of Day 6! Didn't manage today but will try to do double tomorrow and certainly at least tackle Day 4.

Sorry, I failed to quote @Sooverthemill there.

I defaulted back to Move today as was short of time!
The only thing was I spotted day 27 which looked nice and short and totally forgot how hard it was.
Ouch
Still my core needs the help so all good .

No! Genuinely a lovely day 6!
did day 7 today and it was a lovely flow which just sped by

I have very stiff shoulders and neck today so I’m giving it a miss.

Day 2 true today.

i was a bit 😱 at the 36 mins length but remembered just showing up is good. I started it, checked the time left, nearly gave up, carried on and I liked it.

the extra pointers are great. And she’s still funny even though I feel a bit lonely and miserable with myself.

Day 8 today was very cosy. I do love this

Day 6! How I laughed trying to do the pose where you turn your knee outward and lift the opposite leg to elbow. I just couldn’t get the balance at all for that.

@BestIsWest oh dear. I like yogi bicycles, but I find them easy ( compared to other things)
today day 9 and it was great. Pigeon!
hope everyone is okay

I can do the regular bicycles but this one was a sort of sideways one. I am really enjoying True @Sooverthemill, thank you.
@Rummikub hope you feel a bit more cheerful.

Much to my surprise I’m quite enjoying being back in the office. It’s 2 days in and 2 days WFH (I do a 4 day week). It’s only a 15 minute drive away so it’s no big inconvenience and it’s really nice to see people. At the moment we’re able to choose which days which is great.

@BestIsWest thank you I do feel less miserable!

i found that too about returning to work after lockdown (education so been back 18 months ish)..
we were so pleased to be around each other again.. Almost giddy!
Your balance sounds perfect.

Great, well it sounds like Day 6 is one to look forward to then. I am still playing catch up so it was Day 4 for me today. Absolutely loved it, just so nice and relaxing.

Day 10 was good too! I like the slow instructions which make me so much more mindful

Day 7 is a toughie! I cannot do cobra to plank, I have to go onto my knees first, so I was continually lagging behind. But the last few minutes are nice - I got myself into a bridge pose and didn’t realise that the video had frozen so I was stuck there thinking how long does she expect us to hold this for?

Yes. I am finding my mind drifting at times during to the pace but I know that just means I need to give myself time to adjust.

Day 5 later on for me. Hope everyone is managing to keep it up during holiday season and with kids around more than usual (if that applies).

@Rummikub sorry to hear you have been feeling a bit down and hope you feel better soon.

@BestIsWest so pleased it is going well for you back in the office. I find I now really enjoy having the mix although often feel exhausted after a whole day of people, which didn't used to affect me before (or if it did, I wasn't aware, more likely!).

day 11 today was fast and lovely

I missed today ( luckily I’m a head) as I hit mild sunstroke yesterday. Stupid woman! Hope everyone is okay

I’m also skipping today as I’ve been really busy and it’s too darn hot.

Just did 10 and will do 11 later to catch up.Feel nice and glowy now.

Day 12 and it was really good even the hip dips!

11 done. When you said 11 was fast @Sooverthemill I thought you meant lots of flow but it was lovely and gentle. My hips and knees will never bend enough for some of the pieces but it was nice.

Day 13 made me smile a lot

Morning all. I am back and started with Day1 today. Nice and gentle. Just what I needed to ease into daily yoga again.
