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.

Day 7 done. Another enjoyable one. Loved the child's pose flow at the beginning.

I've got a busy day tomorrow so a bonus Day 8 meditation will probably be just what I need.

Moving forward I'm going to work my way through a Kassandra 15-30 minutes playlist on the days I don't have my in-person classes.

I hope Adriene does some more 7 day ones though.

Did day 6 this evening. Not easy. The swinging leg round thing made my hip cramp up. I also couldn't finish one of the abs exercises.

As it happens 10 minutes is exactly what I need tomorrow, as I will be spending most of the day driving. Hurrah for Adriene!

Well. Day 7 was just lovely ☺️.

I didn’t feel like meditation today so went back to day one which was much easier after a week of yoga.

Does anyone else feel like repeating the 7 days?

I saw a shop called prana yesterday so think the universe is encouraging me to 😂

I can only access you tube videos as not on any social media. Or member of ywa.
So I’ll redo the 7 days. I always find it worth repeating.

@Rummikub I am tempted to do that but think I'm going to try working through the calendar. I presume you just look up the relevant video from there on Youtube or do you need a YWA membership? I was just going off the calendar someone posted upthread. I enjoyed the meditation today and will see how I feel tomorrow.

@Liverpoodle That's good to know, it's amazing how much progress you can make just sticking at it every day.

@guinnessguzzler I’m not tbh. Hopefully it is easily accessible.

Bonus Day 8 done. To be honest, I nearly fell asleep. But I am tired.

You don't need youtube accounts or social media presence @guinnessguzzler . I have neither and googled yoga with adriene calendar which took me to her website - it's all freely available on there with links to click on and on youtube.

I'm going to do her 15 minute yoga for digestion bija practice when I get in later on. It will probably be a nice bendy twisty one and perfect for before bed.

Oh brilliant, thanks for confirming @15minutesaday Sounds good!

Did the Day 8 meditation then one from Sarah Beth calendar. I don’t think just meditation is right for me most days,I need an asana practice as well.
On the app there’s talk of doing Light &/or Ritual before repeating Prana at the end of the month. I haven’t completed either of those as yet so pondering

Day 6 for me today, not as bad as I feared. The leg raise and move to sides one I could feel in my glutes more than abs. I struggle with core ones though as my core is weak other muscles always switch on instead, hip flexors, back or glutes depending on the pose. Something I need to work on!

I've been enjoying Prana but am behind on the days. Hope to get Day 7 done later!
I enjoyed Day 6 in a weird way - I usually try and avoid abs, but felt how good it was for me.

I did the day 8 meditation last night, and today’s 15 minutes of sitting still this morning after a run (so was quite happy to sit still).

Did meditation from Adriene calendar, then today’s SB and Jan 1st SB. Adriene gives a lot of guidance in the meditation, I prefer a bit more quiet

Finally did day six. Had to adapt a couple of things as dodgy joints weren't keen on some of the moves but it was very like some of my old Pilates classes so I enjoyed it

SB meditation,then today’s 10 min for hips from her calendar. Then Day 1 of Light from FWFG app. Chakra led so today was root Chakra. One of the best practices I’ve ever done. Clear instruction,soft music( I love music with yoga,know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea)& the flow of the asana just worked. There was cow legs in there ,even sitting on a block mine was a very vague suggestion but hey ho ‘‘twas my version

That sounds great @Yogachick

I am following the January playlist. Just did today’s - 15 minutes movement medicine, with a sneaky side plank for good measure. We’re on holiday in a tiny cottage, with just about enough room at the end of the bed to practice.

Snap @OhOneOhTwoOhThree What a lot she packed into that practice. I even managed to lift my top leg in that side plank (followed by a rather undignified collapse however).

Well done @narniabusiness! I was so surprised to have got into side plank I didn’t dare take it any further 😄

Completed day 7. I think it's just clear that mon-wed are just not feasible for me to do a ten hour work day, walk the dog, ferry ds, cook and yoga even though it would probably do me good I don't have the energy or headspace

Had a day off yesterday - went for a good walk in the frosty, cold, frozen sunshine instead.

Did the first one of the Kassandra 15-30 min yoga playlist this evening - chair yoga. I found it harder than I expected and couldn't quite master seated Warrior 2. I feel surprisingly chilled and zen after it. It was the first chair yoga I've done so wasn't sure what to expect.

Sounds intense @Wolfcub , not surprised yoga seems a struggle on top of that. Only thing I can offer is Sarah Beth has some 5 min practices🤷‍♀️
Calm meditation ,10 min SB from calendar and Light Day 2,Sacral chakra. Lovely

That sounds good yoga chick I'll check it out. I did Adrienne's 30 mons for stress today which was good but pigeon pose was a bit challenging
