    You know, I strangely found this practice all the more valuable because of the little lopsided knee-to-chest part. I tend to struggle with obsessiveness, and at first I began to panic "Aren't we going to do the other side?" "Oh no- we're winding down- what about the other side!?" But then I realized this was a good opportunity to practice Letting it Go and Being Present. I think those mental practices are actually more valuable to me right now than a bit of leg movement 😂

      Do it! In the moment of doubt and lazy feeling tell yourself that it's just 20 minutes and huge chunk of that time is relaxation and breathing. My golden rule is to just do 3minutes, even if I don't want to. After 3minutes I can give up, guilt free. But it's not just a cliche that the hardest part is to show up. You'll often find yourself wanting to continue after those initial 3 minutes.

    Movement IS medicine! In finding my way back to that over the past year, I've reminded myself over and over: Body wants to move. The brain sometimes thinks it doesn't, but always, always... body wants to move. Some practices have been easier than others, but I've never, never regretted showing up on the mat. Body wants to move. And it really enjoyed moving today - brain too! Movement is medicine. Thanks so much as always Adriene, and the 6000 people in this lovely community that I practised with today! Incredible!

    It took me years to understand that less and consistent is better then more movement and rarely done. I usually have this desire to kick ass and run, go to the gym or do yoga for more than an hour and then only to see me the next day tired and without any will to do sports...and then I beat myself for noy doing any sports,emotionally eat ,gain weight and be dissapointed , loose confidence in me and stay in sedentary mode. 10-20 minutes daily of whatever movement is just what I need until I get my good habits on track.

    day 4. i came to this year's 30 days with no expectations about my physical performance - i am here in part to renew my connection to my chronically ill body and provide it with manageable movement admist pain.
    i somehow managed to do chaturangas today without needing to move my knees to the floor...something i have needed to do in each chaturanga since i began yoga many years ago. i experienced some surprise at my body's capability. and maybe elation?
    part of me is embarrassed to be writing this comment but i sincerely hope folks who are practicing for similar reasons see this comment as a reminder that these experiences are still possible

      @DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight 6 месяцев назад

      Never let them tell you that something is chronic or forever. Most illnesses can be cured by fasting and diet, most importantly cutting out sugar. Look into it. I recommend watching videos with Dr. Mindy Pelz and Dr. Jason Fung, two scientists who know a lot about fasting and the latest research. When you fast, your body goes into healing mode, repairing anything that needs to be repaired in your body. I fast often, I am rarely sick (If I do get a cold once in a blue moon, it lasts for a day or two), I am 38 years old, and people think I am in my early to mid 20s. I also have more energy now than I had in my 20s when I wasn't fasting. Worth giving it a try.

We decided to do this series starting February first and try to stick with it. Even with all that prior yoga practice, it feels like a welcome challenge to show up every day; I really feel the difference in my body already on day 4. And I love that the videos are pretty consistent in length; it makes it so much easier to fit in our routine!

Also, my big toes hardly bend backwards, so they're the only ones that were touching the mat on that "pinky toe" part 😀 I completed the practice as best I could and look forward to tomorrow.

    I really enjoyed this practice! I'm getting back into yoga after having my second baby 8 months ago and this is helping me remember a version of me I haven't thought of/felt like for a while. Thank you so much Adriene 🥰

    Thank you sweet Adriene and Benji for creating this wonderful journey. I think I need about 50 days to finish these 30 lessons, but I will. Currently I have challenging times with a hectic, busy job, 2 young kids and a burned-out husband at home. But that makes me extra grateful to join this journey because it helps me balance it all, however I cannot make it every day. As you stated in day 0, I will follow them without skipping.
