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?

Day 8 perfect for me after a 4 hours spent on various trains today. Weirdly gave me an energy boost, did it shortly after getting in when when I felt bushed. Afterwards I made dinner, washed up and cleaned the kitchen a bit. Ready to flake out with a cuppa now though!

Very much enjoyed day 8. Might just head straight to bed now!

Just completed day 8 just before crawling into bed with a tea and hot water bottle. Benji with the blanket was so sweet.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with aching abs from 2 days ago. Hopefully I'll be able to cough without "owing" tomorrow

Definitely aching abs here too!

I struggled with today's. I know it's important to have these types of practice too (and rest days in general) but I just find it really dull and I end up looking at my watch frequently which is never a good sign. I just want to move a bit more. I ended up tacking on another random YWA video afterwards.

Al done and tucked up in bed. I got up early and went running this morning so it was exactly what I needed.

Day 9 and I really didn't want to do this but by the end was glad I did. One legged standing tadasana always hard for me, but hey warrior 2!

I enjoyed today.

Although I made the mistake of doing it after breakfast, which was not helpful with the forward folds.

Forgot to report that I completed (and loved) day 8 last night. It really helped me to wind down and I slept well afterwards.

Looking forward to day 9 later!

did day 8 yesterday which was nice and I really enjoyed this mornings too was a lovely start to the day.

Much preferred Day 9 to Day 8 here! I really like balancing work because it forces me to really focus. Love starting the day with 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' too as it always gives me a burst of energy/enthusiasm and leaves me feeling lighter. I find myself doing it randomly in the day too when I'm WFH and need a bit of a break.

Day 9 done, it felt long after all the easy/short sessions. Glad I did it, though I still feel stiff through my abs. I guess the balance poses use abs too so won’t ease up for a while.

Day 9 done after a long run, such a nice way to stretch out. Surprised with being able to keep my balance way more today than previous. I did get distracted by benji watching a giant bird out of the window towards the end.

Well, I've just done Day 5. I started it yesterday, but had absolutely no energy even for a short yoga session. So I gave up and vegged out for a bit instead. I did enjoy it when I got to it...not so much the hydrants though!

I enjoyed today. Fell out of position a few times but just laughed at myself and carried on. The beauty of practicing at home is there’s nobody to see you mess up!

Day 9.Balancing is super tough for me but again I loved this one. Knocking on Heavens Door💕

I really enjoyed today. Glad I checked the thread earlier, as I know the knocking on heaven's door energizes me, so I did it a bit sooner rather than at bedtime today

@SunUpSunDown - well you get t he points for just turning up for Adrienne ! And extras for listening to your body / mind

I am back on track after skipping the gentle one - I am saving it for when I really need it

Today was lovely. I needed that! My glutes are a little bit cross though

I wear my Apple Watch and log the YWA workouts. Today's was the one that burnt the most calories according to my watch - I'm guessing because of the last bit? Obviously it's more reflective of the effort that I put in than anything and the absolute number is likely rubbish but I thought it was interesting from a relative point of view. It was quite a lot more than all of the others - although obviously these sessions are never going to be a major calorie burn and that's not the point of them at all!

Enjoyed Day 9. Just what I needed after a long day at work

Today is the first day that I didn't want to get on the mat as tired and grumpy but I did it anyway and it was a lovely one. Enough planks to make you feel you worked hard but some fun stuff like knocking on heavens door. I confess that I did modify a couple of downward dogs to extended child's pose but just the bit where she treats it like it's a relaxing pose and not the hell on earth that it is to me 😁

I did days 8+9 together as I got back home so late last night. I should have done it anyway in hindsight. I didn't know it was just rest!
9 was lovely. I like balancing (or trying to balance!).

Day 9 done. I found balancing on one side much easier than the other. My hips finally feel as if they are easing up as well.

Day 10 is rather nice! I struggled again with motivation and a couple of times thought she had started to wind down but it was just wishful thinking. But it was a rather lovely practice building on balance. And warrior 2!
