YWA Jan 2024 - Flow

[ConflictedCheetah]

Anyone else excited for this? Ready to get going in the new year?

I got all excited when it was announced but just can't get the site to load. Had anyone else managed to get into it?

Me! I've never got all the way through one of her 30 day series but this year have been really into my practice since March so looking forward to this as a new challenge as would like to build the habit of daily practice.

Oh...no one else or have I missed a thread somewhere else?

Maybe we're just a bit keen @GettingFree and the rest will join us after Christmas!

@ConflictedCheetah expect you are right! I'm not a big Christmas person so new year is what I am excited for right now!

I’m going to use this to kickstart my yoga habit. I was great for a couple of years but I’ve let it slide in the last year. This will be a good motivation to get started again.

I’m keen to start again. Always manage the 30 Days but don’t always keep it up after. Last couple of years got Covid feb-march and never picked it up again. Intention this year is to keep going, perhaps by recycling precious 30 days series or just making a 7-day cycle of favourites.

I'm going to try it. I managed every day last January and found it beneficial.

Impressed at those of you who have managed every day. I practice 2-5 times a week, every week, but can't crack the daily habit...maybe 2024 will be my year!

Last year was the first year I did all 30 days as scheduled as I get hormonal migraines which usually mean I take an enforced break at some point. Last year I just had a weirdly long cycle in Jan so didn't have a migraine.

I do have a Mon-Fri daily practice for 4 years now though but do find as the year goes on the amount of time I spend on the mat gets shorter and becomes 10 mins instead of something more substantial so I find the 30 day yoga kick starts things for me again.

I've signed up too. I used to do the challenges most years but haven't for the last two or three for various reasons. I've tended to sacrifice yoga in favour of HIIT/weights but I hadn't realised until I did a random YWA video today how much I'd missed it. I haven't exercised at all much in the last few months so I think this will be a nice way to try and get back to some fitness.

Lovely to read you all and connect with your enthusiasm. I'm jumping on board too.
I'm not sure where or how to sign up for the 30 days in January with Adriene though. I'm thinking I'll just go on YouTube tomorrow and find it. Is that right ?

I usually just go to YouTube and find it.

YouTube will bring it up on my feed automatically so I just go there and get started that way.

Ive done every year since YWA January series started - some years have been better than others, hopefully her reduction in chattiness will continue as she was a lot better last year.

This will be my first year not following YWA in January as I'm going to try out the Charlie Follows 30 day challenge instead but looking forward to hearing how this is going every day for everyone.

You can just get the videos on YouTube but if you sign up you get daily emails too and also a calendar of what's coming which I like so I know how much time I'm going to need the following morning!

Morning all, just placemarking for now. Looking forward to starting tomorrow. I have done a few of these 30 day programmes, with varying success at how long I have kept up the practice afterwards. I went to an in person class recently and rediscovered my love for yoga. Looking forward to going through January together.

I was glad that all the videos this year look to me less than 30 mins. I think the last one I tried had quite a few longer sessions and they're just that much harder to fit in especially if I also want to do some other form of exercise in a day.

Does anyone know what time the videos are posted?

I've done it every year and hosted lots of mumsnet threads! The videos are loaded around 6 am uk time. Very excited for this

Thank you do much for your answers. I understand better about how to go about this now. Looking forward to tomorrow too.

I've signed up. But according to the message I've got, I'll get a weekly email - not daily. What interests me in particular about signing up is to get a calendar so that I can see how much time I need to set aside. But, after signing up, I've not seen anything about the calendar. I'm wondering if that comes with a paid subscription which I don't want to get right now.
If it's not with a paid account, I'd really appreciate knowing how to get access to the calendar.

There's a difference between signing up for Adriene's weekly, regular emails and signing up for this specifically which will end after the month is up. Sign up here https://do.yogawithadriene.com/flow

Signing up. I did Move every day in 2022 and got halfway through last year but an injury put paid.
I need a kickstart to get going again.

Also last year the emails didn't come until around 7am I think but you could get free access to the videos earlier, I think on the app. 7am was too late for me so I did that

@WitchWand I've got the calendar by signing up to Flow emails, not the generic ones. I got the first proper email this morning and the welcome email with the calendar arrived about 10mins after I signed up.
