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.

Some of them are i we 30 mins. I can’t even cope with 26 mins!

These are a nice length. Bit behind did day 3 today. I do not find dd restful at all. Too hard on my wrists.

Day 5 and the rebirth meditation that was on the app for today as well ✅

“more than”

Day 5 done and dusted.

How did she know I did both bridge and happy baby? 👀

Very curious about 'Day 8'

I'm not a fan of extended time in downward dog either @Rummikub. Don't mind it as a transition and I quite enjoy 3 legged dog, but not staying there for 73 million breaths.

She did the evil plank countdown trick again. Adriene, how can you be so mean to us?

@15minutesaday she just knows!

I haven't done Day 4 or 5, will try to catch up as this is only a 7 day series it feels like it'll before over before I've even got into the swing of it! Thankfully plenty of other yoga out there to do. I did once start doing all the 30 day programmes from the start but I don't know if it was Dedicate or Revolution, but one of them had loads that were 40 -45 minutes long. Way more than I had time for on top of work and other stuff so the plan to do them all dwindled. Maybe one day, a retirement plan perhaps 😂

Somehow life got in the way of day 4 but stuck with day 5 today and it was good. I do find the left over right twist too challenging (two new hips in the last year) but otherwise a great back to core strength and stability.

I've just done day 4, have been a day off from the beginning as usually day 1 is just a v gentle chat intro and so I factored that into starting on 2nd Jan! (and 1st Jan involved a v soggy new years day walk on the beach and sea swim so didn't have time!). I don't find DD particularly comfy at the moment, hard work but have already noticed that knee to nose (!) has got easier... Albeit my knee is nowhere near my nose!

Day 5 'in the books'. Nice and relaxing to do at this time of night, so looking forward to a good sleep now! Well done everyone for keeping going with it.

How could I have forgotten that day 6 is ab day...only 17 minutes so hopefully short and sharp.

Well done everyone!
I’m going to be super behind as doing this alongside in person yoga classes. Hoping to do Day 2 on Wednesday as had a class today & will have yin yoga (my favourite) on Friday.

I’m tempted to repeat this. I akways find there’s things I’ve missed

Short abbs session, but enough for me. It’s always interesting to try something new and the move with the extended leg in table position was new to me.
I like the music she is using this year. I wonder what it is.

Day 6. Got cramp in each leg with the extended table move. Weird. I always find day 6 mega tough as have zero ab strength. 17 mins was quite enough😳

Day 5 done.

Day six is going to have to wait for me as I've spent 10 hours at work and then shovelled snow for 40 mins and I'm dead

Gosh day 6 was hard. Normally I really like abs sessions but this felt tough in terms of hip stability and confidence.

Yes, agree 17 mins was quite enough! Definitely found this one tough.

Day 6 done. Yes, that was tough and I probably should have done it earlier in the day and before anything to eat

I quite enjoyed the table top leg swinging round thing but I think my hips will feel it tomorrow!

Prana? Completed it, mate! Feeling a bit sad that it's over so quickly now but there's the Day 8 bonus for tomorrow. Did anyone agree on a Yoga with Adriene program to move on to together?

I’ve done today which was a nice easy ish end to the series. I would be interested in continuing something tomorrow with others if a series is agreed on.

@guinnessguzzler I have also completed Prana - the video was on 279 views at 9.02 today, which makes a change from the many thousands of views Adriene's videos have usually clocked up by the time I do one.

I plan to keep going through the January playlist. I liked how last year's monthly playlists built on each other.

Finished Prana , first time I’ve ever finished a series days in a row. Very proud of myself.

I really enjoyed this series. Definitely on the repeat list one day. I think I might continue with the January series as well @OhOneOhTwoOhThree There are quite a few short ones in there (less than 20 mins) and that initially put me off, but I tend to find that if I do the suggested videos it turns out to be just what I needed. Karma I guess. 😁

Great, I'll work through the rest of the January calendar too then. Might try to add some yoga tomorrow as it looks like otherwise it's just a 10 minute meditation although, as above, that may be just what's needed. Handy to have the timings up front to help plan when to fit it in!
