Day 15 move. A lot of trembling and knee shaking on the twist planks 😂

Gosh, @happytobemrsg well done!

I've done 45 days now 😮 Thank you @Sooverthemill

I think it's good to just turn up and do any kind of practice, just what suits us at the time.

Glad your hand is better @BestIsWest

Day 16 - Center - Kind. A short practice but intense. I feel like I had a real workout. I can feel my body getting stronger.

Weepingwillows12 · 15/02/2023 18:49

Day 11 centre done today. Haven't done any yoga in 3 days as my calf was sore and it's lovely to be back on the mat. Missed it.

Sooverthemill · 15/02/2023 19:04

Well done everyone. I was rubbish today and need to kick my arse tomorrow

Move Day 16, a nice one. I skipped the breathing at the beginning though.

VerbenaView · 15/02/2023 21:33

Day 15 Center, I still can't keep my foot up in tree pose, I'd love to do this by the end of the year.

Impressive @happytobemrsg and @hoochyhag

@Weepingwillows12 glad your calf is better and you're back on the mat.

happytobemrsg · 15/02/2023 22:18

Day 15 of Move done today. Got bored during all the arm swinging at the start of the practice but ended up enjoying the session as a whole. I do feel a bit like I’ve “reset” after yet another horrible work day (going to be pretty tough until the end of March 😥)

Yogachick · 16/02/2023 06:42

I’m too ill to do anything. Coughing so much my ribs are painful,it feels like I’ve done a tough workout. Trying to decided if that’s a + or -. Keep going everyone x

ScottishBeth · 16/02/2023 07:41

@Weepingwillows12 glad you have made it back! I hope your calf continues to feel good.

@Yogachick there is so much going around - I hope you feel better soon. Adriene does have a yoga for when you are sick video, which I've done a few times and I like.

I did day 10 yesterday, I think. It was really good. I love humble warrior (I say that every time). It also had fish pose, which I've got the hang of a bit more than last time. I don't think I'm doing gate pose right though. I don't really feel anything in it. So I'll look that up.

Sooverthemill · 16/02/2023 08:35

I did unwind today totally out of order but necessary!

Arm swinging on Day 15 Move made me dizzy 😱🤯

Woke uo today with awful cold, so maybe more the illness than the arm noves!

Looking for a review of Day 16 to see if I can drag myself through it, am keen not to miss a day.

Well done everyone, keep on keeping on!

Rummikub · 16/02/2023 11:31

Feel better soon! I’m trying to avoid all the sneezers at work!

day 13 trust

new moves. Liked warrior 3 but I’m a lot wobbly.

ScottishBeth · 16/02/2023 14:17

@HellonHeels could you swap for day 17, Snuggle? It looks more appropriate than day 16. I hope you feel better soon!

I did Day 11 today. A lot of conditioning but I am managing.

hoochyhag · 16/02/2023 15:05

Day 16 Move

Side plank 😱 but, managed to stack my feet. A lot of falling over in dancers pose 😂

Really didn't feel like it today.

Love to all those unwell 💕

BestIsWest · 16/02/2023 17:03

Ah it was 15 I did yesterday. Move 16 today. I can’t reach my hand to my ankle behind me at all so just did tree pose.

newmumtotwo24 · 16/02/2023 20:17

Finally back at it. Did move day 12, I thought it was going to drag as I actually still wasn't really in the mood (women's time and a baby who won't sleep 😴) but I felt if I didn't do one today I might not again so I made it to the mat. Ended up not being too bad

Fandangles · 16/02/2023 20:38

I got back on the mat this morning after about 5 days out with a horrible virus. Sounds like I’m not the only one!

good news is I was keen to get back to it! Wishing everyone who’s poorly a speedy recovery x

ScottishBeth · 16/02/2023 20:53

@fandangles How did you find it after a few days off? I find it doesn't take long to stiffen up again! Of course it also doesn't take too long to regain the flexibility.

VerbenaView · 16/02/2023 21:12

Sorry to hear that more people are feeling unwell, hope you all feel much better soon.

A very lovely Center day 16 for me.

Prestissimo · 16/02/2023 22:07

So much unwellness around - hope you're all better soon.

I managed day 12 of move yesterday and day 13 today. Flew in crow pose for a few breaths (yay!) but couldn't do the half moon (is that right?) even though I quite like (and can usually do) standing splits. Anyway, I'm sure I'm making progress, even a tiny bit, although it's hard finding time this week while on holiday.

Keep going everyone - anything is better than nothing.

happytobemrsg · 16/02/2023 23:19

Day 16 of Move for me today. I should have enjoyed it but I found it difficult to switch off tonight. Would like to go back & give it another go!

Fandangles · 17/02/2023 07:23

@scottish I found it ok but then it wasn’t a particularly twisty practice! Definitely didn’t feel as strong in plank but, like you say, it shouldn’t take long to get that back!

Fandangles · 17/02/2023 07:24

@ScottishBeth sorry I only tagged half of your name!

Sooverthemill · 17/02/2023 08:32

Day 16 again, still feeling rough but this at least stretches me out a bit

hoochyhag · 17/02/2023 09:42

Day 17 move, it's the snuggle one. I was 🙄 and going to return to do day16 but went with the flow and it was great.

I like the way that she sequences stuff, and even with really hard moves like crow 😂 she builds us up to it.

I tried to have another go at dancers pose yesterday whilst I was waiting for the kettle to boil and almost hurt myself.

I need to trust the process.

Just showing up is the hardest.

Wishing lots of metaphorical snuggles to everyone out there today, especially tired and unwell people 🥰
