It’s been hotttt!!! I’ve still yet to take my annual leave, so I am constantly looking enviously out of the office window to the sunny summer. And around this time in the past, I have been known to take my mat outside into the garden and do a bit of yoga outside. Here is the first time that I took my yoga outside… the excitement… the delight … the wonky umbrella! 🤣⛱️🧘🏻: healthunlocked.com/strength...
So it’s certainly on my list of summer to-do’s.
So what’s on your bucket list of the summer? Maybe some of the workouts from this month’s YWA calendar?
Below we provide the links to two types of follow-along workouts: Yoga with Adriene and The Girl with the Pilates Mat. These two YouTube instructors seem to be popular with our members, but many of us are following various other instructors, so feel welcomed to this mat, no matter which instructor you follow.
So feel free to pop in when you feel like it!
So here are the two links:
★ FIRST, for our yoga fans: Yoga with Adriene YWA calendar:
And check out the new 11 min yoga workout of the month on 4th of August called BEE BREATH FOR ALL AGES.
★ SECOND, regular session or even live sessions for our Pilates fans, The Girl with the Pilates Mat:
youtube.com/@TheGirlWithThe...
And just head the Community tab to find her weekly planner with lists of workouts. The workouts will be in the playlists marked for the week and month.
So feel free to reply to this post when you do a workout. We’d love to hear how you are getting on. .
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 like Yoga or Mat Pilates is perfect to get some S&F into your day. But if you are looking for something else, here is a nice welcome post to invite you to the many S&F opportunities here on the forum: healthunlocked.com/strength...
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 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!
