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?

I found today's very hard on the shoulders more than abs, a lot of time in plank, table top and down dog without much of a break off the shoulders/arms.
I might leave tomorrow's for late in the day rather than first thing if it's breath work.

Yes, my wrists seemed to be the weakest point today, didn't feel it so much in the abs (maybe i was doing it wrong...)

Just did day 17 and am letting day 18 wash over me as I get random admin done. I know that's not the point but I am not one for a pure meditation practice.

afaloren · 19/01/2024 09:52

Felt like a bit of a fraud putting my Apple Watch on for day 18 but every little helps Grin

Buttalapasta · 19/01/2024 10:30

I really didn't want to do today's but the time flew by. Luckily I noticed the cardigan and grabbed mine before starting.

Sooverthemill · 19/01/2024 11:59

Didn’t like today at all, inners to
move! But I did it and my mind was whirring.it felt like a waste but I know I am
also supposed to be calm!!!

mynameiscalypso · 19/01/2024 12:20

I am also using today's one to catch up on admin and work emails. I did another 15 minute one first whjch was a bit more energetic as I needed to move today. Looking forward to getting back to it tomorrow.

Trickedbyadoughnut · 19/01/2024 14:00

@Sooverthemill my mind is never off, so I struggle with these types of practices - I guess we just have to "notice" that our minds are whirring 😜

@ConflictedCheetah I hope you're feeling a bit better now

narniabusiness · 19/01/2024 18:09

I thought the 9 minute meditation would seem to go on for ages but it was really quick. It made a nice break, but it sounds like some active stuff is coming our way.

bellinisurge · 19/01/2024 19:03

I loved it but thought I didn't need a cushion to sit on or blanket because my mat is quite thick. But I probably should have done. Legs ached a bit. But I just did a lying down thing afterwards and it eased them. Tomorrow sounds like ... fun.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 19/01/2024 23:47

I am all caught up after slipping slightly behind. I did yesterday’s practice this morning and today’s just now before bed. Enjoyed both.

Sooverthemill · 20/01/2024 09:29

Todays was just perfect and I can do the standing one leg balance ( better on right leg than left)! Yay

bellinisurge · 20/01/2024 09:39

I'm better on one leg than the other too. I watched it this morning as a preview for later

afaloren · 20/01/2024 12:44

I just about kept up with the vinyasas but there’s no way I could get my leg up behind me. I just chilled with my knee up. Good practice today.

Stickortwister · 20/01/2024 13:20

Loved today.
Ive noticed when trying to get my foot forward to lunge it's getting closer every day.... Still some way off but better than I was 2 weeks ago.

HappyNewYears · 20/01/2024 13:40

That was lots of cobra to downward dog, but a decent session after the pause yesterday. I could just about do the one leg balance on one side but nowhere near on the other.

EBearhug · 20/01/2024 15:29

I do like dancer's pose - on a good day (which today was) - other times it's just wobbly and frustrating.

froginawell · 20/01/2024 18:46

Did todays then caught up with yesterdays,

I am constantly shocked by how hard I find sitting still for 5 mins

narniabusiness · 20/01/2024 19:03

That was good fun and very energising after an afternoon spent mostly sitting down.

bellinisurge · 20/01/2024 19:53

Loved it. I'm slightly less hopeless at balancing than I thought although it's a low bar.

bellinisurge · 20/01/2024 19:54

@Stickortwister "Ive noticed when trying to get my foot forward to lunge it's getting closer every day.... Still some way off but better than I was 2 weeks ago." Me too

mynameiscalypso · 20/01/2024 22:37

Today's was one of my favourites. A nice mix of familiar along with the challenge of balancing poses. I'm okay balancing in dancer but I can't get my back leg that high. I'm hoping that will come with practice though.

Sooverthemill · 21/01/2024 08:45

What a fab Sunday practice! Bit disappointed I till can't get forearms on the floor without my bum lifting up

cornishone · 21/01/2024 09:22

I enjoyed that one too. Although my left side is definitely a lot tighter than my right.

Weepingwillows12 · 21/01/2024 09:36

I missed Saturday's as full of cold. Had one of those blow out days where the diet went out the window, did no exercise, was grumpy with the kids etc. Determined to make yesterday a one off so did day 19 this morning and aiming to do day 20 this evening and am now off out on a walk. Too full of cold for anything too energetic but got another busy week at work so need to get some fresh air today before I clean the whole house.
