Morning CBDB!

Still yogaing but not quite managing every day at the moment as I’m so busy - although that’s exactly the reason why I should try to find a little time to do it. So, I now make a little yoga quest to aim to do yoga every day for the rest of the month. 😊👍🏼🧘🏼‍♀️

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Hidden]

Ooohhh, nice! 👍🏽🧘🏼‍♂️

[Jiveblue in reply to CBDB]

Hiya CBDB

Yep still yoga-ing every day with the ever inspiring, lovely Adriene. Somewhat restricted still with knee but hey ho, now the doc has said it’s ‘just arthritis’ 🤪…I’m learning to replace some of the inaccessible moves and still really enjoy the instruction to ‘hop on the mat and find what feels good’ !! 🧘‍♀️

Many thanks to all those on S&F for the recommendation, without which I’d still be saying oh noooo, yoga isn’t for me!! 🤣

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Jiveblue]

Yeah, I used to be one of the “Yogaaaa, really???” But am now big fan! But home Yoga with YWA is kind of special, I think!

👍🏽💪🧘🏻‍♀️

[Bluebirdrunner]

Hi, I'm still getting to the mat with Adriene every day. On the June 21 calender Expand on day 10 today.

Hubby and I are working through the PE with Joe Wicks sessions from last year, and the yoga after these gives me a lovely stretch.

Happy International Yoga day!🧘‍♀️💜🙏xxx

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Wow! Nice! 🤩🤩🤩💪👏🧘🏼‍♂️👍🏽

I have just finished my 90 minute zoom yoga class. I think my yoga teacher had forgotten all about it being International Yoga Day !I was going to add a photo of the view from my mat but annoyingly it appears sideways on here for some reason /

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to dijep]

Nice. I can’t see a pic …. hmmm 🤔 🧐 🤨….

[dijep 30D Graduate in reply to CBDB]

I didn't actually post it before but here it is and this is what always happens when I try to add my a photo to a reply 😡

Garden view

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to dijep]

That is so beautiful! What a gorgeous view! (Ok, I had to turn my phone, but it was so worth it!)

(If on iPhone, sometimes I have to edit my photo in the picture/image app to ensure it will be right way up when attaching in HU. )

[backintime]

I'm not getting to yoga every day but I am doing a bit

I've also been doing a pilates for knees thing that you do sitting down, so I can do that while I work (all about multi-tasking here) - I found the video on here in another post.

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to backintime]

Nice! That sounds very efficient! 😀👍🏽💪

[Over62]

Hello CBDB, I have completed the Yoga session for the Expand series today - Up your connect, a lovely gentle session that built up quite strongly at the end - great to do though.🧘‍♀️🌍

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Over62]

Yes, it was wasn’t it. Nice quick flow. (I adapt the cobra by swapping in cat-cow as I otherwise don’t make it to down dog in time, but brill with that!)

[cheekychipmunks]

Hi yogi friends! Happy Yoga Day. 🥰

Oh yes, I’m still doing yoga every day. I’m following the EXPAND calendar too and did Day 21 this morning. Last month I off-pisted a bit with practices as my dodgy toe didn’t like lots of the poses, but it’s fine again now, and I’m back on track.

I’ve found out that I can’t do Headstand frustratingly. It was Saturday’s practice. I used to do them all the time as a teenager, like you do, but late 50’s isn’t the best time to try again it seems! I couldn’t get my legs up, even though I can hold plank for ages and my crow is strong too. Who knew? That’s my homework anyway!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Well, you got to have something to aspire to, right? I am all googly 👀 eyed in awe of your crows 🦅and planks 🪵! 👏👏👏👍🏽

[cheekychipmunks in reply to CBDB]

In my opinion they’re a doddle compared to headstands! 😂

[Slinkymalinki in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Ooh that's quite a challenge! I was more of a handstand fanatic than headstands. We had a go at preparing to do them in class pre-lockdown. It consisted of time spent with legs up a wall and then posture shifts but I only got as far as the wall bit out of fear for my ever tense neck! Good luck!!

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Slinkymalinki]

I’ll need a spotter I think Slinky, even with a wall - I’ll need to fling my legs up with momentum! 🤣

[Slinkymalinki]

Hello stretchy peeps! I'm still doing a little routine everyday but not for the last week as I've trapped a nerve in my lower back which is upsetting the piriformis - annoying & debilitating so it's careful stretching and no running at the moment.I'm looking forward to the end of term so I can rebalance with a new yoga programme preferably outside in the sunshine! ☀️🧘‍♀️😍

Happy International Day of Yoga to you all! 🙏

[cheekychipmunks in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Ouch Slinky, that sounds painful. Hope it eases soon. 🤞

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Ohh, sounds painful. Hubby is going through a phase of trapped nerve as well, but Pilates helped with that! So sending you get well wishes.

And yessss! to yoga in the sun. We did a few outdoor sessions (first time ever outside) last month, and they were brilliant.

Happy yoga day!

[roseabi]

I am not doing much yoga recently because I have a 6 month subscription to Suzanne Bowen Fitness, my old favourite (although she does incorporate some yoga poses, so I'm not missing out altogether!).

But I decided to join in by adding on a 6 minute YWA abs session 😊😊😊 Wish I hadn't done it just after eating a nectarine though, I almost threw up! 🤣

Happy Yoga Day CBDB and all xxx

👋👋😄🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♂️ Nice! Happy Yoga Day! (And don’t throw up! ✋️✋️🤣)

[roseabi in reply to CBDB]

Thank you, and I will do my best 😂😂😂

[Beatlesforever]

Happy yoga day 🧘‍♀️I've only just taken up yoga but I'm really enjoying it! Although I'm not very good at it 😖 ah well, practice makes perfect (or in my case, just about average 😅)

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Beatlesforever]

Woohoo!! 🙌 🥳 🎉 Well you joined at the right time with Yoga Day having come along!

I fear Yoga and Pilates is just like running. Find the right programme and before you know it, you’re working out every single day!

[Beatlesforever in reply to CBDB]

I've started Adriene's 30 day Breath programme, she is so popular here that I thought I'd give her a go. I've got a proper yoga mat now so I'm able to attempt all the poses without fear of slipping! I had a very near miss with the warrior pose, not pleasant 😣😱

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Beatlesforever]

Nice! Breath got me started in doing daily yoga or Pilates. So woohoo! 🙌

Lunges and slippery mats … I’ve been there!

[LottieMW]

Happy yoga day 🧘🏻‍♀️

I’m about to treat myself to a long relaxation session with Adriene before bed 😴

Namaste 🙏

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to LottieMW]

Namaste! Hmmmmmmm 😴☺️🥱Happy Yoga Day!

[LottieMW in reply to CBDB]

Hah! It wasn’t *all* comfy blanket fun…she stuck in some hovering tables, balancing tables and low lunges…😳🤨

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to LottieMW]

😆… how cheeky of her! 💪👏👍🏽🤣

[LottieMW in reply to CBDB]

I know! 😳

[Cowladyrunning]

Ooo I haven't done any lovely yoga for a bit.... things got really busy and I haven't even been running as much 😱 really missing it, but also really shattered! I'm hoping things will calm down work wise soon! Happy yoga day! (Oops think I'm not even on right day am I??)

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Well, every day can be a happy yoga day! 🤣🧘🏼‍♂️💪👍🏽

Hope work calms down and running mojo comes back, but I know exactly how you feel. Work and it’s busy-ness keeps creeping up on you until you realise one’s own regular running and yoga has been seriously threatened.

Let’s not let it! Keep strong! Happy belated Yoga day!

[Cowladyrunning in reply to CBDB]

First job is to get back reading this forum as it has great motivational benefits!! I'm itching to run and hips say get back to strength work so I'll get back asap! Massive congratulations to everyone doing daily yoga. Amazing 🙌
