Flowing in February YWA daily thread

[Sooverthemill]

Hello! Making a new thread for Flow devotees to continue our yoga together. Any YWA devotees welcome! ( and it doesn’t have to be flow, I will Repeat flow but may also do Center)

I’m in . I got bored with Flow and have started a 10 minute daily Kassandra in a desperate effort to be consistent as the 20 min ish Flow seemed too much. I am quite ashamed really

Thanks @Sooverthemill, I am going to repeat Flow I think, perhaps Center next month (I never finished that after breaking my hand duing the 30 days last year). I wavered about doing the monthly calendar, but some of them are just a bit too long for busy days.

@Yogachick absolutely nothing to be ashamed of! Even 20 minutes can be really tricky to fit in. Doing the 10 minutes regularly is a great habit and will definitely make a difference to how you feel.

Thanks @Trickedbyadoughnut . I am being mostly consistent with Kassandra and ( am surprised my self) enjoying her practices much more than Adriene. Less extraneous chatter.

Thanks for the new thread @Sooverthemill If you can bypass day 30 I feel I have permission too. 💪
Cant decide whether to repeat Flow or try that Feb calendar but like @Trickedbyadoughnut Im worried they are a bit long at 40 mins, although time shouldn’t be an issue for me really Im just a bit lazy.

Thanks @Sooverthemill I am going to repeat Flow. 20 minutes is just right for me.

Yes I think 40 minutes is too much for a daily practice but didn’t enjoy flow that much so might have to search about in the archives for something to suit me.

I’m in! Thanks for the new thread. I’ve enjoyed Flow so much, even on the days it felt impossible I was always glad I’d done it. I’m going to try the calendars I think.

Thanks for the thread! I'm going to do the Feb calendar I think but substitute anything over 25 mins long. I will also probably shift some of the days around depending on how much time I have on a particular day and when I can fit it in. I expect a couple of days will fall by the wayside too because I've got a few events and things in Feb but I really like the comment on the Flow thread about how you can miss one day, but not two. I tend to be an all or nothing type of person and just give up if I miss a day rather than just getting back to it.

Thanks for the new thread!

I'm feeling persuaded to repeat flow. Maybe by the end of Feb I will be less galumph-y when bringing my leg forward from downward dog to lunge.

@Yogachick you have made me feel so much better! I always feel lazy and a traitor when I defect to a Kassandra video, but truth be told I think I do enjoy her videos more and it’s easier to be consistent. Just finishing off Flow and then I’ll be looking to do more Kassandra videos so would welcome some recommendations…

Just popping in here to mark my place. I think I will repeat Flow and see if/how much I have improved over the month.

I did Flow Day 1 this morning. Slow start but I had forgotten how she left us hanging in plank a lot in those early days. Forward folds from cross legged position, my hips were not too happy even after a month of yoga, I think this is a position that wasn't repeated a lot later on in Flow?
Like a previous poster, I may also not follow in order as have to travel some days for work so shorter the better on those days.
@Yogachick I started doing some Kassandra late last year, I think as you and others on the earlier threads said you enjoyed them. Made a nice change from YWA and after I've repeated Flow I will definitely be subbing in some Kassandra and maybe others. Almost fell like I need to spend some time coming up with my own calendar, otherwise I waste the available yoga time by scrolling YouTube looking for one I fancy that fits the time I have.

I did the first day of the February calendar this morning. I enjoyed it. At least I was prepared for plank after Flow!

I also did the Head and Heart Reset from Day 1 of the Feb calendar. I think I've done it a few times before but it was exactly what I needed especially is the sunny weather here and the start of blossom on the trees made it feel very spring-like. It was nice to move a little and have that change in focus.

I did day 1 of Move today. I was nervous as this series is 30 to 40 minutes, but I was struck by how easy it was compared to flow. Don’t know when it was filmed but also struck by how much Adrianne has changed body shape, though I would still give anything to look like she does now.

Which app are you using for the daily flow?

Day one of flow done, found it distinctly hard!

Trying to convince myself it's because I'm doing the postures better have the 30 days!

Enjoyed head and heart on day one of the calendar
My legs felt it holding the warrior 2 for so long after a 6.5mile speed walk

Head and heart for me too. It wasn’t one that I’d done before but I enjoyed it.
@BadgersGate Move was my introduction to Adriene. It was released two years ago. I really enjoyed that series, but I remember finding it really hard because it was the first yoga I’d done in many years.

Like a recalcitrant teenager I didn’t practice on Day 1. I don’t know why I sabotage myself but am back to Kassandra for today, I’m on Day 8 of the series I’m following,which is a delicious 10 minutes a day.@Jumbojem heres the link for this series for future you x

I finished Flow yesterday but started with the Feb calendar and Head and Heart today. I also hadn't come across this one before but found it a nice start to the day - definitely got my energy up.

Ended it with a plough (my version 😅) because I want to master that and scary crow this year. I say master- even achieving them for a few breaths would be amazing!

I started the month with Head and Heart yesterday, as I remembered enjoying it a couple of times before. And as my shoulders are quite tight at the moment think I will do today's Admire session as well before dropping back into Flow at the weekend.

I loved today's Feb video - upper back/shoulder stretch. Definitely needed it. The next two days are 40min ones so I might drop back into Flow. Will go back to the old thread and see what I thought of Days 1-4 to decide whether to start from the beginning or just do the 'correct' day.

I really enjoyed today’s video although I don’t have a problem with upper back pain normally. Then later I did a kettlebell class and my upper back started hurting! Should have done them the other way around

I appear to be doing a YouTube algorithm version, not sure if that was the fern calendar or not, but quite enjoyed it. Was a blanket, stretch, flow, lie down. Exactly what I needed
