Yoga With Adriene January 2025: Prana

[VelociraptorsVelociRapping]

I couldn’t see an existing thread.

I know Adriene is popular on this board and I wondered if anyone else is planning to do her January 2025 course, Prana?

It is a seven-day course this year rather than her previous 30-day programmes.

A lovely start to New Year! Nice and gentle, but feel like my body has had a nice stretch to get started.

Sad there isn't a 30 day programme this year, but I'm also expecting January to be pretty busy, so slightly thankful - 7 days is definitely achievable (unlikely I'll manage it in real time, but who knows...).

@Doggielove I go to a yoga class at least weekly, and over Xmas my tips have tightened up so much, sitting cross legged is very tricky at the moment. I'm doing what I can and adjusting as I need to. Sitting on a block helps as well. I'm trying to focus on opening my hips again.

I just do legs outstretched as that is more comfy. I will be able to do cross legged but not until much more yoga

I don't sit cross legged either - I have one leg more bent than the other in front of me and sit on a bolster and cushion to get my hips off the floor so my knees can drop down. It hurts my ankles to cross them.

Yes always on a block! Glad to hear it’s not just me. It seems to be the first thing that goes when I get out of practice

just walked dog so on way home . Gonna do it before salmon and eggs and report back

So comforting to hear. I like that pose.

it hurts my back and all sorts

Only one. It's not a static pose - she has you peddling your legs in no time at all then back to table top.

Your user name - Doggielove - just not Downward Doggielove?

I did it but only went to 16 as is done enough. I’m very very rusty

but it felt magnificent to welcome yoga back. I was so so stiff but I know I won’t be soon. And my legs won’t be in pain!

I will try for the whole tomorrow or just do the last ten mins

Thanks for posting it!
Very easy and very gentle session. I will definitely carry on.

Well done everyone and Happy New Year! Day one done, really enjoyed it and feeling strong and relaxed now. Here's to keeping those feelings through 2025!

Feels so good! Love being back to this.

This was really nice. A lovely way to start but, my goodness, I'm so stiff. I hope that some solid regular practice will help with that so long as I can get into the habit.

Im pleased she decided to do a January series again and I don’t actually mind it being only 7 days. I enjoyed today’s gentle one as pp said it was very effective and I feel loosened and chilled. Looking forward to tomorrows.

Well that was just lovely - really gentle but with just enough stretching to get any knots out. I feel throughly relaxed and unburdened now and I can see this one becoming my go to on days I really need a bit of self care.

I liked today, lots of hip stretching and then a cross legged sit at the end which I managed after all the stretching. My cow legs were trying to shoot forward and I couldn’t get my feet completely flat in froggy but otherwise nice and easy. I think the 20 minute format is much better than some years where there were some longer ones.

Oooh thankyou for the reminder, I completely forgot yesterday! Start as I mean to go on, catching up!!
Shame it's only the seven days but maybe I'll go and do one of the old ones after?!

Day two done! Found bits of it quite hard but enjoyed it. I don't remember doing
froggy at all though @Liverpoodle

Not been able to start this yet as NY is always busy & it’s tough fitting in practice while the DC are home. But I did book my favourite Yin Yoga class for next Friday so that’s something 😂 will try & fit day 1 in ASAP.

@guinnessguzzler i don’t mean froggy do I, it was a squat, does that have a name?

I'm not sure! 😂Either way it was a good session I thought. Definitely looking forward to tomorrow.

Hello, joining in! Loved Day 1. Day 2 was way more strenuous than I anticipated! Shame it doesn't go live until 9am, I like to do yoga early before I get on with the day. I'm working today, so I had to go ahead and have my breakfast and take a work break to do it which wasn't ideal.

I’d be up for that too. I didn’t finish breath properly. Her most recent one. Which one you thinking of doing?

Just did day 1 & loved it. I feel relaxed and stretched. After a yoga class I feel like I had forgotten how to breathe properly & now my breaths are deeper & more intentional.

Unlike other years I don’t think I can commit to daily practice. I go yin yoga once a week & will try to add a regular yoga class plus a YWA video which will be plenty I think.

Did day 1. First bit of yoga proper since hospital. And it felt good!

Ration can’t do downward dog tho
