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 still going with exhale, although a few days behind - I committed the sin of missing two days in a row on Friday/Saturday but got back on it today with several short sessions this morning and evening (not all in one go!).

@froginawell not feeling stronger in the core just yet but I will repeat the ones which I felt worked for me. My core is a huge weakness for me. I get a lot of lower back stiffness and I tilt my pelvis (anterior tilt) which I've known for years. It's only through yoga I've realised these things are all connected, a stronger core would help my back and hopefully correct the tilt (I've had this so long, pre pregnancy so don't know if it's a lost cause).
I did a Sarah Beth full body stretch this weekend. Nice to try a different person for some different stretches but the background overly dramatic music coupled with her motivational messages weren't really me, felt a bit American and faux. I think if I'm going to stray from YWA from time to time it will be with Kassandra, although there are plenty of others to try out there!

I'm being a bit kinder to myself these days @OhOneOhTwoOhThree !

I'm not convinced it's great for me to yoga everyday, as long as we are regularly getting in the mat, and coming back to it rather than feeling like we've failed, I think we are doing well!

I wasn't sure I could do the 30 days in Jan, and look at us all still here in March! Amazing!

Hello, hope I can joint he thread. I picked poga up again last year with a weekly class but also really wanted to develop a dialy practice. I've finally got round to it! Have been doing Kassandra's 10 minute morning challenge for the past two and a bit weeks, which I'm really enjoying, alongside my normal yoga class. Even though it's only ten minutes I can really feel the difference in my strength (which is a massive issue for me - flxibility is good).

Hi everyone, still on the bench - teeny tiny physio exercises each day

Well done @Sooverthemill 👏👏👏

@Sooverthemill keep going, you'll get there!

I did Move Day 6 this morning. Didn't really enjoy it, some core stuff I find my hip flexors do the work rather than abs and a lot of the moves in Move I had this issue. I have Flow and Breathe Day 6s to go next week and then I've done them all.
Need to get a new challenge for March. @Doireallywanttodothis I may look at Kassandra for a March challenge as I enjoy her practices. Not mad keen on the "ohhmmm" at the end though, prefer Adrienne's "namaste".

@Jumbojem In the morning flow challenge she’s been saying namaste!

I'm still plugging away with Adrienne. Like @froginawell said I'm not doing it every single day, but hey, that's better than not doing it at all.

This morning was just what I needed, yoga for when you are lacking motivation 🙂

Still inconsistently plodding with Kassandra. Day 24 today.This was a good one,lots of hip openers,I’m so impressed with how much she packs in to just 10 minutes without feeling anything is rushed. I have to thank @Sooverthemill for bringing her to my attention x However,I’ve missed a couple of days and it’s scary at my age how stiff I’ve gotten again. Consistency is definitely the key to maximise benefit!

@Jumbojem the Kassandra challenge I’m doing ends on ‘namaste’ which I like,haven’t come across an ‘om’ yet ,fortunately,as I too would find that offputting

How strange, all the Kassandra one I've done all ended in an Ohmm! I did her Spring Equinox today, I found it tough. Not least as I didn't know so the poses she said so when I was facing away from the screen I wasn't really sure if I was doing them right. It included rock stars which I find challenging, and the dreaded side planks.
I still have some YWA day 6's to get through but for March I've chosen a random mix of body areas/focuses and length of practices from both Adrienne and Kassandra and added them to my YouTube "watch later". I do yoga 3 or 4 days a week so think I've got enough for March in there. My challenge will be a 54 minute one of Kassandra's!

I completed the 10th YWA Day 6 this morning, the one from Breathe. It was a 28 minute one so I was a bit nervous but the first 7 minutes is breath work. A fair bit of plank though.
Also did Day 6 Flow this week as well, quick and simple one I'll def do again!
Which Kassandra challenge have you been doing @Yogachick @Doireallywanttodothis is it a recent one?

@Jumbojem It’s the 30 day 10 minute morning one - I think it’s 3/4 years old. I’ve been taking a break though as got the dreaded lurgy that’s doing the rounds and it developed into a chest infection for my husband. Managed to drag myself to a vinyassa class this morning and really glad I did, so hopefully that will get me back into the flow.

Must do easter yoga. I’ve skipped a few and I’m sure I ache more as a result.

I've also been out for a couple of wills with the cough/cold/exhaustion lurgy that is going around. Will get back to the mat this weekend

Just thought I’d look at say 13 flow and as she started on her back I thought I can do that.
She tricked me. I just couldn’t lift my tail bone whilst my legs are in the air!

Hello everyone, happy Easter to all.

I think I’ve done most of the March sessions. I skipped back and forth when I was short of time and doubled up some when I’d missed a day. If I have missed any or will have been a sitting still meditation or a breath one. Ready for something more active next month.

I’m still doing flow. Day 14
another start on your back. Yay!

my abs still hurt from yesterday’s sneaky one. It’s scary how out of shape I got quickly.

Think flow is my favourite so far
then move. I can’t remember the one before move but I stuck at day 4 and repeated that for a month!

I just tried a Kassandra class for tight calves and ankles, but was a bit distracted by the music. I liked the pace and variety for a change, but will be sticking with Adriene again in April. What's everyone else going to do?

I don't think she normally has music! I'm doing the Beginners sessions with Charlie Follows - new playlist every week.

@OhOneOhTwoOhThree I really like Kassandra for variety but as above poster, never had one with music. I tried a Sarah Beth one and that did have some instrumental music and a voice over rather than her talking through the moves as she did them. Didn't enjoy it at all so don't think she's the one for me!
I am doing a mix of YWA and Kassandra for March, I've added a variety to my YouTube "watch later" and delete when done so I work through the list. Have added some longer ones too force me to do more than the 15-20 mins all the time.
I am hoping to do some of the Kassandra daily 10min ones on top as I I'm hoping to up my running mileage, which means upping the mobility work!

@Jumbojem the Kassandra challenge I’m doing is from 3 years ago. Still sporadic but I’m getting there. Day 27 today,a delightful decrunched for my back. I’m going to aim for more consistency for April. I would start a thread but have no idea how to😏

So far this month I've done a 15 min morning flow (YWA but it was the eve when I did it!) and lower back love this a.m. I am hoping to give the core one she's just released a go soon.

@JumbojemI did the core one yesterday and thought of you and your core sessions. It’s a good one, I felt it today. It was also a good measure of how much stronger I’ve become since the start of the year.
