AN ALL NEW MAT: Sept Yoga and Pilates Mat

[CBDB]

As many of you know, we have been rolling out monthly virtual, and collective mats to help keep us connected through the YWA daily calendar. And i’ve been seeing an increasing number of workout buddies heading to the Pilates corner via the YouTube channel Girl with the Pilates mat.

So, I’ll be trying a new virtual mat next month, watching some of us getting really into Pilates. I thought it might be useful to have a collective, virtual mat for both our Yoga and Pilates fans. This is of course made easy by the two most popular channels on our forums having monthly or weekly choice of YouTube workouts.

So here I am rolling out our virtual mat, ready for September .

★ FIRST, for our yoga fans: YWA calendar:

yogawithadriene.com/calendar/

★ SECOND, weekly session or even live sessions for our Pilates fans

youtube.com/@TheGirlWithThe...

And one just has to head to Playlists or Community to find the list of workouts.

So feel free to reply to this post when you do one of these workouts. We’d love to hear how you found it.

And our general guidance is below:

If you are just joining us, big WELCOME to you and any new Virtual Workout Buddies! A short daily practice of Yoga or Mat Pilates is perfect to get some S&F into your day.

And feel free to - as Adriene says - “find what feels good”, meaning if your knees feel too sensitive, amend that Child’s Pose. And if you find full planks are the stuff of nightmares, rather do half planks than full ones. Do whatever feels right to get the maximum enjoyment from these daily sessions. And definitely get creative with props.

Upwards, crow-wards and down dog-wards another months practice!

(Save this post to get notified of any updates from everyone here on the mat.)

Happy working out everyone!

I did one of the pilates for back routines this morning! At the moment I am alternating with pilates one day, yoga the next, combined with other exercises later in the day.

Having pilates and yoga back in my life is making a HUGE difference!

That’s brilliant! Yes, I often cannot decide between the two, so different but yet both are so good!

Thanks for the links. My goal for September is definitely to get back into a S&F routine. I'll have to give the Pilates one a go.

Yes count me in as I tried 12 wk consolidation and the abs exercise was not for me so yes this will do súper nicely.... Thank you ❤️
