Anyone else fancy jumping on board the Yoga with Adriene train? 🧘‍♀️ 🙏🏻

[cheekychipmunks]

Come and join us! Adriene is a wonderful yoga instructor and her YouTube classes are accessible to all, whether you’re a rank beginner like I was when I first started practising with her nearly 3 years ago, or whether you’re already a seasoned yogi. She has something for everyone, and pretty much every part of the body - including several practices aimed at runners.

She has a tradition of releasing a new “30 Days of Yoga” in the New Year, and here’s the link to the latest one if anyone’s interested.

It’s fun, and you really get to see results in your strength and flexibility. The things I can do/reach that I couldn’t before are incredible! 😅 Have a go, it’s a great cross training habit to get into! 🥰

Namaste 🙏🏻

Already onboard the YWA train but always good to have more company. I came here to let people know that signup for Breath was ready, but you got there before me!

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Blackberrypie]

It’ll be fun, and the more the merrier. My daughter introduced me to Adriene 3 years ago and I haven’t looked back. 🥰🙏🏻🧘‍♀️

[Shake-and-run]

I had the email too. I am a lapsed YwA person and decided to start again in January. Good to know I have friends there too.

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Shake-and-run]

Brilliant S&R! There are many many HUers who use Adriene so you’ll be in good company! 🥰

[Buzzbeebh]

I have been doing the YWA 30 day challenge for the last 2 years & her Sunday practice on and off in between, but haven’t kept up with her. I’ve been doing other yoga as well. Happy to jump on board for the Jan 30 day challenge 🙏🏼

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Buzzbeebh]

Yay! 👏👏👏👏👏🥰

[roseabi]

I have a mind to do it 😊

[cheekychipmunks in reply to roseabi]

Oh yes you must roseabi! 🙏🏻🥰

[roseabi in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I did the one at the beginning of this year - 'Home'. It feels like a lot longer ago though!

Doing some yoga every day was a different kind of challenge. I was happy to drop it when it finished, but I did enjoy it!

[cheekychipmunks in reply to roseabi]

The best thing about doing it every day is that your flexibility sneaks up on you, plus she mixes the practices up. 😀

[slipstick]

I'm in though it's a long time since I did much yoga. I suspect it might take me most of the year to get through the 30 days but there's no harm trying.

[cheekychipmunks in reply to slipstick]

You can take as long as you need slipstick! So glad you’re joining us. 🥰

[Lifebeginsat in reply to slipstick]

Same!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold]

Oh fabulous! I was thinking of doing the Home 30 days but realised at some point there would be a new one coming out.

So I am in. I might have to take longer than a month as I need to do some other focussed workouts (knees, arms, etc) in between.

Woohoo 🙌 Thank you!

[cheekychipmunks in reply to CBDB]

That’s the beauty of these 30 day series, they can be done “live” daily, or you can take a year! Great you’ll be in too CBDB! 🥰

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to cheekychipmunks]

All signed up, even Kula app downloaded and ready to go! ( I even persuaded my husband to join in on the fun! )

[cheekychipmunks in reply to CBDB]

Brilliant! I’m trying to persuade mine too. He does YWA, but he’d rather pick his own practices. I’m sure he’d love it so I’ll keep trying! 😅

[Bluebirdrunner]

I'm in Cheeky! Already on the mat with Adriene every day as you know, I was wanting to do the new 30 days in January so this heads up is great..Namaste 🙏🧘‍♀️xxx

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Yay BBR, I knew you’d be in! 🙏🏻🧘‍♀️🥰

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Call out to lexi6 too! This would be great for after xmas!🤗🙏xxx

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Yesss, hop on board lexi6 ! 🥰

[lexi6 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

🤣🤣 always late to the party! Yay! I’m in 🧘🏼‍♀️xxx

[Dexy5]

I know you are a great advocate of Adrienne cheeky and I’ve just seen that she’s being promoted as one of the most important women in 2020 in this months Good Housekeeping magazine. I might give her a try in January as i won’t be doing my Pilates classes. Watch this space.

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Dexy5]

Oh I didn’t hear that Dexy, what wonderful news. Adriene is very popular, and lovely too. 😀

It would be great if you gave her a go. Some days are super gentle, some are hard work, but they all make you feel good afterwards. Go for it! 🥰

[Slinkymalinki]

Ooh thank you for sharing this - I'm in! Very timely for me as I've not been doing my zoom yoga class for a while - just carrying on with my own stretching routine but need some inspiration and motivation. Thanks for sharing! 🙏

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Slinkymalinki]

You’re very welcome Slinky! She’s great, and makes all the sessions fun. Plus you really do see results. 💪😀

[Sparkey5000]

I'm in - I have dabbled with some of her classes in between my regular class - be good to have a focus and be accountable in Jan - thanks for giving me a nudge to commit

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Sparkey5000]

Brilliant Sparkey! It’s nice to have the practices chosen for you, and great to be doing them “all together”! 🥰

[Yogamaz]

I think I have to be in seeing as I have 'yoga' in my name!! Namaste 🙏🧘‍♀️

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Yogamaz]

Absolutely right you do Yogamaz! 😅 Brilliant! 👏👏👏

[SaskAlliecat]

I'm in! It has been a lot no time since I've done yoga but I am game to get back at it in a new life stage.

[cheekychipmunks in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Woohooooooo Sask! I’m so glad you’re joining us too! It’s lots of fun. 🥰🙏🏻🧘‍♀️😀

[Hedgehogs123]

Thank you. I love her yoga classes. I have really tight hips, which are not helped by arthritis inherited through my mum. I used to do ballet and gymnastics when I was young and then taught fitness classes for over 15 years, but I lost all the flexibility and since I started running, only back in May, I'm working hard to get it back. Thank you for these links as they will be so useful.🏃‍♀️😁

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Fabulous Hedgehogs, I’m so glad you’re joining in too! You’ll find that regular yoga will hugely help your hips. The more you do, the more flexible you become. 😀 It’s great seeing the progress. 🙏🏻🧘‍♀️

[Hedgehogs123 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you. I went and did a session tonight and really enjoyed it!!

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Hedgehogs123]

👏👏👏😀

[Jiveblue]

Hmm, you guys are all so heartily enthusiastic about it I might be tempted to give it a go. I have never tried any yoga but, having read so much about Adriene on B210, I took a peek at one of her YouTube videos the other day and was put off immediately.... as she was comfortably sitting cross legged on the floor, which is something I've not been able to do for several years!! Is there any hope for me??😱

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Jiveblue]

Yes there is Jiveblue! It’s perfectly fine to sit up on a pillow, blanket or block to lift your hips, and it makes sitting cross legged way more comfortable until your body gradually gets used to it.

Give Adriene a go. She gives lots of alternative poses and you’re sure to see improvement in your flexibility over time. 😀

[LottieMW in reply to Jiveblue]

Oh yes...she’s really kind and is always thinking about the novices and suggesting alternative positions. She always says just to do what you are comfortable with. ❤️

[sofaspud]

I’m in! I do her 30 day yoga journeys from past years throughout the year. Nice mix of poses and difficulty. Will join the upcoming one too.

[cheekychipmunks in reply to sofaspud]

Woohoo SS! I’m so glad you’re joining us too! Isn’t she great? 🙏🏻

[Looneytunes]

I've followed her for some time but this year all workouts were off due to me having 3 slipped cervical discs in January that require surgery that I'm reluctant to have, but in the New Year I intend to lose weight and adapt a workout regime that suits me so will look at Yoga as my first port of call

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Looneytunes]

Wonderful Looneytunes. Hopefully yoga can ease you back in gently. You’ll already know that Adriene advocates alternative poses if any aren’t appropriate. Have fun! 😀

[Maddee_6333]

YWA pops up so often on my Strava feed that I was planning on dipping my toe into the water as my New Year Resolution. Breath seems like an ideal place to start.

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Maddee_6333]

Fantastic Maddee, she’s great, so it’ll be great to have you join us all! 😀
