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)

Bastard Fibro has flared so been in bed. Brain fog hideous & body tender so Pranayama potion I found on YouTube. Filmed in London & her left is actually my left for a pleasant change!Brain cleared a bit but think tomorrow will tryKapalabhati breath to shift it,I feel like I’m in mud atm
That’s why I like a calendar to follow @Jumbojem . I used to spend half/most of my practice time trying to decide what I felt like doing then feeling like I was clock watching rather than being present

Hope the fibro flare up shifts soon @Yogachick but well done on still managing some yoga. Iam awful with muddling left and right too, when I did in person yoga I was forever moving the same direction as the teacher, rather than the direction she was instructing. It was quite tightly packed and it often meant I ended up bumping into the person next to me who was doing it correctly.

You are right, I am my own worst enemy with procrastination. I have a list of things I added to "watch later" on YouTube to prevent this.
I have a 1hr Yin one on there I haven't managed to make time for yet. Let's see if I manage it before month end...

@Yogachick hope you feel better soon. Impressed you still managed yoga!

Day 16 flow.
This one was nice and stretchy
though couldn’t do crescent I think it was called.

I also realised part way through that I was doing left and she was doing right!

@Rummikub probably shouldn’t have. Did some breath of fire this morning followed by the Deep Core from the Build. I dont feel any worse but still got that flare bubbling away in the background& brain still stuffed with cotton wool.I wish it would p*ss off
I do wish online teachers would mirror . I get in a muddle as I follow on screen actions,then have to think opposite way for instructions if I can’t see the screen

@Yogachick that sounds so hard x

Agree about the mirroring nearly every time I go left instead of right!

Anyone tried the 4 minute sound bath from her email today? I haven’t yet. But tempted.

Sorry to hear you have had a flare up @Yogachick , please look after yourself and don't overdo things.

I'm also a big fan of a calendar. I'm still a few days behind so breathed a sigh of relief that today was a short upper body session - I have done a long run already today - but bumbled my way through it as I'm quite worn out. Oh well, there's always tomorrow, and I'm no further behind than I was

As for left and right - let's not go there!

I am utterly impossibly guilty that I've done nothing! I have a few physio exercises to do and some which use tiny weights. Trying not to be despondent.

My flare escalated and I collapsed. We can’t help our stuff @Sooverthemill .If we can’t do it it’s not because we’re lazy it’s because our bodies are struggling. This too shall pass x

I’ve joined a BAM( Bare Assed Minimum) yoga challenge with Sarah Beth. Starts on May 1st. Hoping this current flare has fucked off by then. 5 mins a day allegedly. Maybe I’ll start a thread…

That’d be great @Yogachick
Is it free to join?

Hooe you recover well x

Yes- 7 days totally free. It’s on her Instagram. I’ve managed to get out of bed today and actually shower but that’s it now🙄

Back at it,new direction,nice and positive. Yesterday I did a really old Sarah Beth Detox 20 mins,trying to get the nasty juju out. Today I did this one which deserves a post as it was absolutely brilliant 🤩

Welcome to May yogi's! I've still been doing yoga but got into bad habits and it's mainly been Kassandra quicky 10 min ones as I have either not got up early enough, or more likely, faffed endlessly which means a good half hour slot before work has disappeared.
Looked at the YWA calendar for May and may add some of those to my "watch later" on YouTube. Although still have a chunk of the ones I added in April still not done...
Hope those suffering are beginning to feel better.

Sorry to hear about the various maladies! Hope you feel better soon. I've been pretty consistent with a daily 20 minute session and I'm definitely feeling stronger. I'm still doing mainly Charlie Follows although I still enjoy Adriene and Kassandra too. Charlie is doing a 30 day challenge starting June 1st on YouTube if anyone fancies joining in!

@Sooverthemill and @Yogachick sorry to hear you are so out of sorts. Best wishes for a good recovery for both of you.

I'm just finishing the April calendar - two left. I've just done day 27 of dedicate from the April playlist and loved it. Something clicked as I got on the mat and I felt great - even managed a couple of press ups instead of my usual belly flops on the mat. All the strength work is finally paying off!

I’ve produced an actual thread starting today,if anyone cares to join.No idea how to link it but it’s likely in the yoga bit of mumsnet. I’m on a triumphant 4 day streak of Sarah Beth who seems to suit me atm, nothing more than 30 mins though
