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.

Sometimes going through the motions is all we can do @CeeCeeDeeBee but it’s always better than not doing x

Day 5 Center complete with leg baby! I’d forgotten that little oddity 😁

I like leg baby! She often uses it in videos

Just done Move day 24. Another good one. Especially since I went for a run earlier today - it included lots of downdogs, forward folds, lunges, so all the main stretches covered.

I really liked the warrior 3 flow - very challenging! (Moving between one legged mountain and warrior 3).

Well I must say my hips feel very comfy so there must be something in it.

I liked the weird leg baby too! I also found the mountain climber movements not easy but also not as completely impossible as they felt in January. Yay progress!

I am back!!!!!! Did 13 days of move in Feb then kids not sleeping and illness meant I just did not make it to the mat. Lost my mojo a bit after that but today I decided it was time to get back onto the mat. Gone back to centre because after so long out I think I need to go back to gentle. Plus the shorter one's definitely made it easier for me to 'show up' probably won't be an everyday thing for me as I think I'll be more likely to stop again but I'm hoping to stay consistent 🤞🏼

@newmumtotwo24 welcome back! I hope everybody is recovered from sickness. And yes, if daily yoga doesn't work for you it's sensible to plan for doing it regularly instead.

No yoga that's two days running. This bloody shoulder. I salute all of you still going

Ooo, poor shoulder, soover!

Yes, agree that we need to do what suits us. It needs to be sustainable.

Felt yuck today, but turned up. Someone sneezing all over me in church yesterday maybe 🙄

Day 6 center, the lying on the mat one doing core/belly things.

It felt really good and I'm so glad I had a go. She is so encouraging, and even tough movements don't last long.

Doing center again makes me realise that I am better. Those mountain climber things yesterday I found nigh on impossible in January.

Welcome back @newmumtotwo24

Thanks all, it was a awful stomach bug that luckily only I caught but absolutely floored me especially while also looking after 2 under 2! Looking forward to getting back into semi regular yoga. Today is a slow day so might even do two while I'm feeling all energised!

Welcome back @newmumtotwo24 ! Sympathy for your poorly shoulder @Sooverthemill , I hope you’re getting some help.
I was a no show yesterday. 15 hours sleep then napping through the day has just about got Bastard Fibro back in the cage. Day 2 of original 30 days was tough this morning. Onwards and upwards!

I’m still going strong! Day 4 of Move today “Flow”. I felt very strong sweeping up to a standing lunge. I’m getting a bit better at transitioning I think

Haven't been updating but managed 6 days of move so far. Day 6 still difficult but feels so effective.

Haven't posted for a few days, but I'm still practicing Center daily. Today, Day 6, my poor stomach muscles, but it was easier than last month and January.

I'm feeling so tired, every single day, and I am still showing up, I thank you guys for this, as I feel accountable. I am so thankful the Adrienne's series, as I don't have to find a session each day, I just do the correct day - I am certain that this is why I'm still showing up.

Day of OG 30 Days. Lots of balancing in this one,one side definitely better than the other. Wide legged forward fold as well and a little plough. I love plough,it’s rarely shown. My range is more limited with my boobs and belly in the way but I’ll get there.
Hows the shoulder@Sooverthemill ?

Well done @Chimna and @VerbenaView ☺️

Thinking of those under the weather 

Gosh yes, we're still there though!

Day 7 of center. Don't remember it being so fast!

Had to pretend that Ihad @Sooverthemill's little cat on my shins when I was lowering my back onto the mat. My dog had gone off to woof at some fairies in the garden 🙄

Morning. Day 6 of Center. I missed yesterday because of work and having sore hips from cradling the baby on Day 5. Day 6 didn't feel as tough to me as the previous days. I missed forward fold today. I never thought I would say that.
I feel as though this run through Center is entirely different to the previous one. Weird

Thank you everyone, it's possibly a little better today and I just did some shoulder and neck stretches from an ancient session of Adrienne's. Watched by my largest ( ie really chunky) cat with disdain. Good job he doesn't lie on me but he has been known to jump on my back during plank!

Sorry to hear about your shoulder pain OP. I hope you are better soon.
center day 7 today. Active flow which I really enjoyed.

@Yogachick hope your fibro pain has eased a bit. I also love plough pose! I just do it when I'm sat on the floor - don't think I've ever come across it in yoga.

@Sooverthemill I hope your shoulder continues to improve.

Today I did an 18 minute Yoga for Runners cool down. I'd had a terrible night and been for a run (just day 2 of C25k) so I thought one of the Move sessions would likely be too much for. The one I did was lovely and stretchy.

Missed a couple of days (hello, migraines) but did day 5 of Move just now. Lots of lovely hip openers, really enjoyed it.

Day 4 OG 30 days. Yoga for your back. Delicious

I'm back everyone! I well and truly fell off the wagon after injuring my shoulder at the gym, plus life just got in the way. (Wretched hyper mobility - I was being so careful too which made it even more annoying!!!) Thankfully, DH is a chiropractor, so I've made the most of that. Anyway, I'm back, doing Move this time (carefully!), and planning to keep it consistent😀
