CENTER YWA January 2023: It's here! Support thread for all

[Sooverthemill]

Yay! It's day 0 and the video is up ( at 6.03 for me). Let's do this! What a lovely gentle way to start. See you all tomorrow when we actually do a little bit of yoga.

@hoochyhag you just really want to get your point across 😂. I also love how she seems to give instructions just at the right point! I always think I would get all my words in such a muddle, she’s so clear!

Just done d10 and d11 consecutively to get myself up to date.
Loved the energy one.
Its true the turning up is the hardest bit though! Ive tried to do the 30 days but always fall off the wagon around this time of the month ( work always very busy and its ds birthday on the 11th). Missed yesterday because of it but determined to carve out the time and stick with it this year as i always feel so much better having done it.
Love to you all who are sticking with it too!

Just managed day 11, I enjoyed that. A nice stretchy one without being painful. I've noticed my balance is much better on my left leg than my right.

Day 11 done, work is so hectic I thought I wouldn't be able to fit it in, and I did feel tired while doing it. But afterwards - yay! I did it

Day 11 done.

Day 11 done. Liked the stretching but my balance was off today. I don't know if it's just me but there are days I can figure out what muscles to use to stay stable then others where I fall over easily.

Really enjoying this year.

Me too @hoochyhag ! One day I'll bring my foot all the way up in one step! But it was def closer today...

Another lovely one. Glad of this thread which is keeping me going back to the mat

Also, crazy thought!

It feels healthier to want to reduce my belly so it doesn't get in the way of my knee to centre (whatever the plank with knee to centre is called)

Then it does to just want to be slimmer!

I've just had a glass of wine. No dry January here. Can I do day 11 after a small glass of red wine? I completely forgot.

@hoochyhag I'm getting better at bringing my foot up too.

I wasn't really in the mood this evening but I'm so glad I did it. Definitely one I'll come back to. Thank you to all posters on this thread for the accountability.

Day 11 done!

A bit of an Adriene woo moment

"Don't grip with your toes"

Look down at my feet and they look like claws 😀 daaaang it!

lovely stretchy twisty one today, and I'm now ready for bed I have been since 6pm

night all!

Day 11 was best yet for me - despite the DC and cats getting involved <sigh>. The 30 day challenge is now not even a 20 day one!

Found it easier today getting my foot up - still not there yet though.

Just finished Day 11. There is a lot of me and my tummy means it is impossible to do that folding over whilst knees crossed thing she did early in the session. But I managed the balance, planks, and knee acrobatics, even if I can’t really twist like she does.

I may have imagined it but I felt less morning stuff this morning than I usually do.

Day 11, possibly my favourite so far, I felt today was a better pace for me, I'm still not very good, but I'm doing it, and really enjoying it.

Hmmmm I didn’t really enjoy today. I couldn’t balance at all so maybe that put me off

My arms are too short compared to my legs to get my leg up - once my leg is there I have to be on finger tips

That's my excuse

I was gripping with my toes too @daisychain01 😳. I always think it funny when she catches me out like that.

Enjoy the stretching in d11 but I Could Not balance on my left leg At All - fell over about four times. Usually I'm not too bad. Oh well. Progress not perfection.

Woo hoo day 12 done.
How does she know we are gripping our toes, not breathing etc
Uncanny.

I'm only 5'1 so I feel this is why I cannot ever ever ever put my elbows on the floor in forward fold or lizard. I would have to remove my legs to do that! Loved day 12. Just so yummy. When is the big difficult day coming? Or is she being kind? I love how it all goes back to our core and balance.

Enjoyed today, where was Benji though?!

Bah, I got a bike puncture on my way home from swimming last night and by the time I got home it was too late for yoga. I will hopefully manage to catch up today.

Day 12 done.
Today was the first day i havent enjoyed it 100%. Hips really sore in the lizard pose bit.... had to go.into childs pose for a rest.
Going to lay off any additional exercise today and look forward to day 13.

I missed yesterdays so am now a couple of days behind. I find the poses on the knees really uncomfortable and ought to do it on a carpeted floor rather than on my yoga mat on a wooden floor. By the time I had fetched a blanket it had skipped forward so I was flailing about. Must remember to use true pause button!

Day 12 - find following the instruction difficult today, looked up in the fingers down shoulder stretch one to realise I was doing something very different to Adrienne.
Ribs/upper core ache after the circling round with arms behind head pose too which is odd as didn't feel my core working much at the time! I'm sure it's all good and looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us over the weekend.

Enjoyed Day 12 although was v wobbly in the circular lunges. My tight hips always like Lizard - should probably do it daily! Long and busy day at work tomorrow but hoping to squeeze in number 13.
