CENTER 3: getting ourselves on the mat one day at a time in March

[Sooverthemill]

Hi everyone. This is the new thread for yoga with Adrienne devotees trying to do a daily practice based on Center ( or Move, or Home, or True…). A friendly thread to hang out and boost each other.

Yes @Yogachick I can easily go down the rigid routine/perfection/ catastrophising path too 😂
It's nice to mix it up!

I did Day 29 of Move yesterday. DBoyfriend is doing it with me, he wants to do Center again so we're starting Day 1 (2?) tonight. Skipping the cheesy welcome vid that starts Center. I remember sweating and groaning doing this session in January, will be interesting to see how it goes tonight.

@Sooverthemill I'm so sorry to hear your injury woes are continuing, hope you get some ease soon. Even more sorry to hear about the loss of your hamster :-( Big hug X

Morning all. Day 2 Center. Enjoyed it and can feel the improvement from last month.

I did day 2 of Move before school pick up. I felt a bit like I was going through the motions, doesn't help that I'm tired... Sometimes it's so hard to really focus rather than just pose, transition, pose, transition until the end.

You get the tick for showing up - you can only do what you can do on any day

March is off to a good start! Yesterday I did the Yoga Rinse from the March calendar. I couldn't face doing day 21 of Move, but I wanted to do one I hadn't done before. When I'm picking my own they tend to be very easy ones. Yoga Rinse was lovely, though it was also quite easy. It was good doing something different as well. There was a wide legged forward fold twist, which was fun.

Today, day 21, which was hard! Very core focused! Glad I didn't leave it till this evening!

Yesterday, I had a really long day so I did a short Adrienne bedtime one. Today, I did Center Day 2. Was lovely.

Movement medicine Energy for me today,from Motivate. Got a little sweaty. Good start to the day. Hauled my bum off the sofa last night to do some walking strength with a Jessica Smith.My intention is to try and do that 2/3 times a week but it’s an evening workout so depends how tired I am. I need the morning yoga so I’m a nice person😂and a mobile one!

Trying to get another appointment with the osteopath as I’m in so much pain this can’t be right! Ouch. A gentle shoulder and neck one today from old style Adrienne

Hope you manage to get an appointment @Sooverthemill that sounds painful.

Day 3 center. Ooff! The thighs! But good nevertheless.

Day 3 Center. Challenging. I remember it from last month. But I definitely had more control today.

Hope the osteo sorts you out @Sooverthemill

@Sooverthemill hope you managed to book another appointment

@OopNorfDahnSarf yes, it was challenging, I was hoping that I could have completed it without putting my knee down when my leg was trembling so much...maybe next month.

Sending💐@Sooverthemill ,I hope you got that appointment.
High on feeling so well I thought I would push myself and do a tough little walking weights workout last night for 45 mins. Proving only that I am a fool as the Bastard Fibro has flared just to remind me I can’t stress my body like that. Crappy nights sleep so Original 30 days-Ease into it ,for me. When I flare my body feels like crunchy wrapping paper and burning so I need to cool it down. As always I’m feeling better for yogaing. If it halts the flare time will tell 🤞🏻

@Sooverthemill and @Yogachick sorry you're both not doing well at the moment. Be kind to yourselves, and hopefully it doesn't last long.

Move day 22 last night was amazing! I loved it. A lovely flow and warrior 3 at the end. I don't think I do chaturanga right at all though.

Yes, gently does it. It needs to be sustainable.

Sorry to hear about the aches and pains

Center 4 felt very good. Tree pose and reclining pigeon. Tried just following her voice and it was lovely.

I’m a bit behind despite good intentions but managed day 2 of Center yesterday which I enjoyed and managed to hold the plank. Yay.

I did Move day 3 yesterday, the side planks were so tough. It felt like she held some of the poses for AGES!

Will try and squeeze in day 4 later.

@CeeCeeDeeBee side planks are so difficult!

I did Move day 23 this morning which was another lovely one! I am really enjoying this.

Morning All. Center Day 4. I feel as though I have done a really tough work out. Can't remember the detail but my stomach muscles are sore while I sit here and type!
From memory Center is nice and gentle and touchy feely but the last 2 days were quite intense.
However I showed up to the mat and hopefully you will too.

Day 4 Move was nice and flow-y. I still feel like I'm going through the motions a bit, but at least I'm doing it.

Hello everyone! Missed a week due to work. I’ll do Center day 2 tomorrow

@OopNorfDahnSarf I second this! I remember Center being a bit more relaxed than Move. Not day 4 anyway.

I’m about half way through move, I know I enjoyed the daily practice in January but my stupid brain keeps thwarting my attempts in February. But, this is March and I will persevere!

I did day 18 of move this morning. I've been mixing it up with other sessions so have done something every day, but not always move. Today was livened up by a hungry cat miaowing in my ear.

Center Day 5. Lots of plank. More hard core work.
