Hello everyone. This is the April thread for those of us attempting a daily Adrienne practice. All welcome. Center, Move, true, even Kassandra we love them all!

@notanicepersonapparently I am doing the OG YWA and also did Day 17 today! I am finding it quite refreshing as it is different to her more recent series. She's very young and eager, and almost nervous in places wittering on about all-sorts.
Yes, it's challenging in parts but it's nice to do some poses which don't seem to feature in the later series.
I'm thinking of working my way through her 30 days in order, or give following the calendar a go to mix it up a bit.

@Jumbojem ive done that! It’s really interesting to see her style change and the slight change in poses she favours.
day 12 I think of Kassandra which was very nice one especially for hips

Missed a few days after tweaking my neck and shoulders. I think doing twists in yoga isn't always good for me.
Day 9 Center today. Fairly slow but lots of strong poses that work the muscles.

notanicepersonapparently · 23/04/2023 12:11

@Jumbojem Thats a coincidence that we were both doing the same session. I’m definitely up for doing another of the older series next but I haven’t decided which one yet.

ScottishBeth · 24/04/2023 07:15

I've been a bit lax at posting but have been reading all your posts! I missed one day the other week, but we're nearly at the end of April and I've done yoga every day this year except 2. So I'm pretty pleased with that. I also have had a few days where I have done yoga but not from Home, so am a few days behind on that. I won't be able to catch up - I've struggled a bit with things and it would seem to be missing the point for yoga to be a source of stress for me! It's nothing major, just been a bit too tired and unfocused.

@UnaOfStormhold I ordered that book and it will be arriving today. I'm very excited!

Kassandra day 13 nice little flow including tree pose which I surprised myself by doing!

Another couple of the OG series ticked off. Yesterdays featured a one legged squat which I totally nailed. 😂
Day 19 though was a lovely flow with the arms which features in Move too.

Jumbojem · 24/04/2023 19:27

@notanicepersonapparently I kicked off with the one legged squat one this morning. I actually paused to work out how exactly Adriene had twisted herself into that one, it was quite incredible. I was not much beyond holding my foot to my hip crease. Adriene has amazing flexibility.
Sounds like I have a nice one to look forward to tomorrow.

I think I might try Kassandra's 10 minute sessions next month. I need the structure of a set practice each day or I give up but I also want time to do some weights every day too.

bellinisurge · 25/04/2023 18:45

Doing the original 30 days YWA series. On day 7. Been doing some of her other stuff before that.
I have MS and, adapting some of the moves as per a class I once took for a while, it's really helping.

Yogachick · 26/04/2023 07:01

Great to see you all still going. I’m healing well but struggling with no yoga. I’m doing some very basic walking workouts to get me moving but missing my flow. I’m not seeing my surgeon till beginning of June for the all clear so I’ll just have to plod on

BestIsWest · 26/04/2023 09:03

Absent without leave here but I did do 10 minutes on the mat this morning for the first time in weeks. Hope to be getting back on target soon.

Well done everyone who is still going! Day 15 of kassandra ( I can't count obviously)

Day 26 of Home today. I haven't skipped a day since January 2nd but I know it will happen sooner or later. 😄

notanicepersonapparently · 26/04/2023 19:18

How are you liking Home? I thought I might give that one a go next.

I loved Home!

I loved Home!

I think it's my favourite so far.

notanicepersonapparently · 26/04/2023 20:34

That’s decided then. Home it is. 😘

Yogachick · 26/04/2023 20:39

What is it you love about Home@Buttalapasta ? From what I remember I got bored as I found it a bit slow, but always open to trying again once I’m passed fit

Buttalapasta · 26/04/2023 20:43

There are a few slow ones but luckily they coincided with my slow days. I found there were fewer moves in Home that I couldn't do whereas with Move I often had to modify.

hoochycrone · 27/04/2023 16:57

Been feeling a bit bleurgh but doing the Kassandra short morning ones ☺️

Buttalapasta · 28/04/2023 08:31

Day 28 of Home. A bit disappointing today. Everything hurt and I couldn’t do a lot of it as I get on getting cramps in my feet. Euurgh. Thought it would all be easy by now! Hope you’re feeling better @hoochycrone

No idea what number but funnily enough todays Kassandra was called : Centre!

t last few days I’ve been continuing with the OG series days 20 to 22. They’ve been a lovely set of practices 30 mins long but with lots of lovely arm moves and some warriors too. Apart from a few press ups there was nothing scary in them.

Jumbojem · 28/04/2023 23:07

I seem to still be in a similar place to you @notanicepersonapparently as I did Day 21 of the OG series today. Really enjoyed a much needed slow paced stretch after two full days of presenting training at work. Adriene is so funny in these early ones, she's a lot freer with her chatter and craziness.

I can't believe May is nearly here and we are still going, it has become a habit for me now although I tend to do Mon to fri as I like to do it as soon as I get up but at the weekend I have a lie in or do other things.
