100 Days of Yoga Transformation - Comparisons of Before and After
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2021
- I documented the first 100 days of yoga transformation so I can show myself how far I have come along whenever I feel like quitting. Starting something new can be a daunting step to take. After 6 years of having zero physical exercise I decided to start practicing yoga again like I have always wanted to.
If you ever ask the question, how do I start exercising? Or how do I start doing something new? Or more importantly, how do I overcome the fear of starting something outside of my comfort zone? I hope this video would help add a little steam to your boat towards your dream state of being.

Thank you for watching my videos documenting and sharing my own spiritual growth and spiritual teachings that have touched my soul. The world is vast and I hope to celebrate our shared humanity while finding resonance by sharing my vulnerability, struggles, revelations, and exaltations.

"I have visualised my ideal self long enough, it is time to start showing up as her" I actually really needed to hear that. Thank you.
Exactly!
Yes! Needed that!
I was thinking the exact same thing! I know I am that person underneath these layers of fat. It's already in us. I'm just gonna show up! This one really hit me. You're not alone! 🙏🏾♥️
Amen
Yes same here! I don’t know how I landed on her page but I’m glad! Thank you!
When I was younger I never had a problem with starting. Being consistent and finishing however, was a different story. I made a list of all the thing I haven't completed and working on them. It feels amazing and actually quite addictive.
I concur. I have the same tendencies ;)
What are those things for example?
I like this idea. I'm a serial hobbyist, so I've started so many things that I haven't finished.
Such a gentle but inspiring video. 'Start becoming that person you've always wanted to become.' That made me cry a little :')
Let’s cheer each other on to keep showing up as our best selves 💪
same here😊
I've got AIDS
Same
I just started crying half way through this...I have a 8-month old, I used to be so fit and do yoga every day. I feel so weak now, exhausted every second...I find it hard to imagine getting back into a fitness routine. It was so helpful for my mental health disorder. You're video reminded me of that feeling of starting out and also gave me some hope that no matter how long it takes, I can always get back into it. thank you
"I have visualized my ideal self for long enough,
I think it's time to start showing up as her." This really hits home for me. Thank you. 🥺🙏🏽💕
This comment has inspired me !❤️❤️
This is such a powerful statement: "Being free of self-judgment made this thing a whole lot easier, and a lot more enjoyable as well." Thank you for making this video and sharing it with us. It's very inspiring and makes me want to give yoga another go. I always gave up too soon (too difficult, too stiff, can't do this, and all that BS that I catch myself saying all day). It's time to just start doing a routine and not beat myself up about it because it's not perfect. Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm going for 1% improvement at a time and enjoying the journey instead of focusing on only the destination. 🙏
It's very important that you start with asanas and videos for beginners that you can do. With a slow practice the joy comes from itself and with every move it can be the best thing. Wish you all the best! 😊
Love your comment. The key is in enjoying the process. Forget about how we do compared to others, or even compared to when we were younger and fitter. Just have fun! When you have fun and keep going, improvement is a natural by-product. This applies to everything and not just yoga. Hope you're having alot of fun in everything you do :)
"Being free of self-judgment made this thing a whole lot easier, and a lot more enjoyable as well." That part hit me really hard... I am always expecting perfection and great results of everything I do, you could say that I am not really nice with myself most of the time and is something that I need to fix ASAP
Most of us have been raised to be so hard on ourselves. Let's all remind ourselves and each other to be kind to ourselves, and to believe in ourselves more. Sending love.
I’m also doing yoga for 3 weeks now and every little step that takes me go further makes me so happy 😍🎉
Yes! It’s such a fulfilling and lasting feeling of being happy for yourself that can’t be replaced my pleasure that only offer instant gratification. :)
I am just beginning my yoga journey. How did you all start? Just with youtube? I worry I am getting it all wrong when I just do it with RUclips xxx
@@Loubell_83 I started almost 3 years ago with Yoga With Adriene on RUclips. She's amazing & has videos for various abilities, offering modifications for beginners. I find her intsructions very easy to visualise & interpret without cranking to look at the screen. Never thought I'd have a regular practice but here I am, still doing the only form of exercise I've maintained long term in my adult life!! Good luck, hope you find someone that works for you! Xxx
congrats darling xx
I started doing yoga for two weeks straight and I can already FEEL and SEE the difference. Every time I’m done with the practice I feel fresh and energized, I’ve also become more flexible and be able to hold hard poses for longer! I’m glad this changed your life for the better❤️
It’s so inspiring to see that you have progressed alone in ashtanga yoga, one of the most difficult styles of yoga. When I open a video for beginners in ashtanga it’s always written “Attention, practice this sequence with a experienced teacher “. But not all of us can go directly to a school. So I think that you are so brave girl!
I cried watching this. “Something from deep within me said to start.” This voice spoke to me too and this video came at the right time. Thank you for sharing, so many of us needed it! 💜
This was really powerful. I have been hesitant to start and I feel you gave me the right reason to hold on "just focus on whats going right for you" . Thank you so much!
I wasn't searching for the message in your video today - but it is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for sharing.
congrats for your transformation and for sharing! 💜 we always see how good are others at what great they doing but we don't know how much time they work and struggle with themselfs to get there!
I think it's very important to know the stories behind each transformation to not be expected to be perfect from the beginning! Thanks for sharing and showing the transformations ,it means a lot for us !
After experiencing a very stressful day, your video has brought me to tears and inspired me. Thank you!
Thank you for being transparent and posting your journey ❤️❤️❤️ This resonates with me so much as I’m currently on a similar journey (and Laruga also inspired me!) - I needed to see this 🤗
Thank you. I needed to see this today. I committed to a daily practice almost 2 weeks ago. It is very difficult as I have little strength and am 20 lbs overweight right now. I’m trying to envision what one year from now looks like. I really hope I can get there. I appreciate this beautiful video.
I didn't know such short time as 100 days could make such a huge difference, thank you so much for inspiration!
This video is so validating! So much of what you've shared, I've thought about too. I'm learning that nonjudgment, a fous on the current action rather than the outcome, and alignment with my highest self are keys to self-improvement and discipline. I'm learning to ground myself in these values as I navigate my own fitness journey and efforts to pick up new hobbies/skills.
I cannot tell you how timely this video is for me. Thank you soo much
Thank you for this video! I've been doing yoga on and off since I was 12, I"m now 21. But sometimes I stop for months and I feel really inflexible sometimes and dont push myself enough. But this video is so inspiring and well-made and can really now imagine myself transforming x
you voice things in such a clear way and it makes so much sense
Thanks for sharing this. My wife and I watched 3 of your videos and we found them really really inspiring. 👏
Hi! I stumbled on your video last night and it really spoke to me. I used to love yoga, though I never managed to hold a daily practice for very long, but still, I always came back to it and enjoyed it so much. But like you, having kids brought an end to many elements of my previous life and when I needed yoga most I stopped practising. Your message is so motivating because I share your inhibitions about getting back to yoga, and I really appreciate you showing how hard it was yet you continued. One thing that differs is I realised I have not been visualising my ideal self any more, even in my fantasies I stopped seeing myself as fit, strong, motivated, disciplined, and the kind of person who prioritises what is good and right for them and believes in themself. Ouch! Anyway, that was the most powerful take away for me and something I am going to consciously work on now. So, THANK YOU for this video and for sharing, you have really struck a chord with me and I’m very grateful for that wake-up call. 😊
P.S. I got up early this morning to do yoga
This video is exactly what I needed to see. I’m so glad you posted your progress videos. I’ve restarted my highly modified Ashtanga practice and man it’s hard, but I’m determined to just meet myself on the mat everyday and see how far I get for that day. Little by little. Thank you so much!
Yes! Meeting yourself on the mat consistently is the way to go! Even if some days you don't make it, try to be be fully accepting of it and just come back again the next day!
So happy I came across your video. Love everything you said. I definitely needed to hear this. Your statement of stopping imagining yourself as this person and show up as her is something that I definitely needed, thank you so much for the motivation!💕
i had chills through the whole video. so beautiful! thank you for showing up for yourself and showing me i can do it too!
This a really incredible video!! Absolutely inspired me. Thank you for sharing and modeling the self-compassion needed to start tackling different challenges and becoming our bestselves
Always act out of love ❤️🙏
I'm quite active and i exercise frequently, however my flexibility is another issue. I was never into yoga, but I'm glad that I clicked on this video. Your way of getting a message across is very comforting and supportive.
I have been slacking in my personal yoga practice. Thank you for the inspiration to get back on it! 🙏
Thank you! You have no idea how refreshing and relatable this video was for me. I’m so grateful for your before and after videos. I really want to get into yoga and I struggle with being consistent but this video motivated me to focus on the act that I’m actually doing it rather than how awful I am at it today.
Thank you for this video! This pretty much sums up my own journey with Yoga! Have begun again and trying to be consistent , as best as I can since past 2 weeks. This time, I also express gratitude toward myself and the moment and that also helps me to push through, on days I feel it's difficult to make through!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been trying to get into yoga but I wasn’t sure where to start or how to feel about it. This is so inspiring and your words are so beautifully said
I'm so happy that saw this video now. It's inspire me to continue to do yoga more and don't give up early. Thank you so much!
I love that you showed in parallel the before and after! There's so little "progress" sharing that I've been able to find on the Internet.
I've been going to yoga classes twice a week and I haven't seen much progress with me but your video is such an inspiration!
I am happy this video showed on my home page! This is a sing to continue doing yoga. Thank you! Great video :)
These were motivational words I really needed to hear, not just to get back with yoga, but also with a lot of other things I've been avoiding bc of the fear of failing. But failing means I'm trying, so lets do it!! Thank you so much
Absolutely! Failing is a testimonial to your braveness.
Way to inspire people to get started! The important thing is to start where you are at and give yourself lots of grace!
Woke up in the morning really grumpy and unmotivated! Saw this and I dragged my ass to workout!! Thank you so much for this!
Why is it that the simple things are the most inspirational? Love this message, Thank you
what a great video! I really felt everything you said and loved the story about your friend and how you said its okay to wobble sometimes! I started doing Yoga on a baily basis 13 days ago and it can be really frustrating to see others move and hold poses with so much strength and agility! but your video really motivated me to keep going. thanks you
Thank you! Keep keeping at it! Your got this!
This really encourage me cause that's how I woke up this morning with a desire to just began again. Very motivational! Thank you for this.
This is incredible and so inspiring. Massive transformation in 100 days!
Your video is exactly what I needed to watch. After having my daughter two years ago and as an 'older Mum' I am feeling all the fears you had about your body right now. I just needed to hear that someone else felt the same and all it took was you to just start. I'm starting right now. Thankyou!
I’m so happy to hear that. I started making videos because I thought I surely can’t be the only person, especially the only mom, that feels the things I do. I am really happy to know this helped another mom! Please know you are the best mom for your child and you are supported and appreciated.
With the shame we feel in the way we look, I would say I’m the moment at least your trying and others may look up to you just for doing the yoga and may feel inspired so I’m your mind you may feel one way but you’re inspiring others around you subconsciously or not too! Also the feeling like you said with it should be the reason you get back on the mat. Once you start it really does feel so good! This is so inspiring and relatable, love it!
Wow! I am almost nearing my 100 days of yoga! I showed up every day ! Keep going !
You can do this
Yes~!!
Went back to yoga just a month ago and was finally feeling confident enough to try something that was intimidating me for a while now. I did Laruga's Ashtanga video today and was wobbling, pausing and catching my breath while watching the poses I can't do right now. How you looked when you started was me this afternoon. I felt energized and inspired but a part of me was frustrated with myself for not pushing harder, for stopping and whining at certain points in the video. What you shared on this video a year ago was exactly what I needed to hear right in this moment. I remembered that I showed up today on my mat and I can show up again tomorrow and the day after, and the day after. That's what matters. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💜
Thank you so much I’ve been looking for a video like this for so long so authentic it’s gave me so much motivation - I really appreciate you taking the time to make this!! ❤
I love the videos showing how far you came. Very inspiring.
yooo this has been both therapeutic and inspiring in the most calming sense. gonna follow you on your journey
I appreciate you posting this. Seeing that guitar in the background really tells a lot. You seem really skilled 🖤
Haha thanks. I am not at all skilled on the guitar though. But I do enjoy playing it.
OMG! This gives me so much hope. I did it for two weeks, I started shaping up then the fatigue like wore me off and I stopped. But I'm starting again, I didn't know the little pain and not being able to fully complete posture at the beginning was normal. I guarantee watching you're video, I wont quit
it's normal and the wanting to quit phase after the initial honeymoon period is also normal. there will be many more phases as you continue. just keep doing your best and love yourself for it!
Such a nice and delicate video. No theorizing but rather genuine talk. Loved it. Have completed 23 days❤ Thanks for motivating me more🌈
Thank you for your sweetness. Those words were inspiring and motivating. I'm just approaching yoga and I was feeling not strong enough, but I guess that acceptance and persistence will help.🙏
Thanks a lot!
Yo this is a great video! I love the side by side comparisons of the yoga posses. Really shows how far you've progressed and how much easier it is for you to move
Thank you!
you really hit the nail on the head when you said we're scared of starting exercise because you will feel sore, it will hurt at first, and you're bad at it. loved seeing your progress and i hope to be there one day as well!
Very uplifting message about not focusing on what's not going perfectly but instead to focus on what's going right
This was soo inspiring to watch! I've always wanted to get into Yoga and I think that this is my sign! 😍🙌🏻
So happy to hear that!
hey, your video just popped out on my home feed and so I watched it. I used to go to the gym where they have different kind of group classes and because I love yoga i tried Ashtanga for the first time and I fell in love with the practice. Few months later I quit because it was getting closer to my exams at uni and also I wasn't feeling like it was a good moment for me to keep spending time at the gym etc. It took me about a year to get back to practicing and exercising again and now I feel the struggle again but I know I will get better and feel better again. Great video keep up the good work :)
Thank you! This is what I needed today. I will continue in my practice.
Thanks for inspiring me. I really needed it. Hope that everyone would have the chance to hear such inspiring message :)
That is exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing. It is encouraging me
I have been trying to drag my ass to the mat for a while now. Your post has allowed me to see that it is possible. Thank you. You doing you and posting it has allowed me to see that yes I can. I cannot thank you enough.
Wow Thank you for taking the time to let me know that. And really, you got this! We got this!
Such an inspiring video. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your experience with us. I don’t know how I stumbled across this video but it showed up for a reason. Being practising ashtanga yoga for 2 years straight, but didn’t get the motivation to do it once I had my baby 3 years ago. Now I’m making excuses of all sorts not to show up and start the journey again. Your statement of “ I have visualised my ideal self long enough, it is time to show up as her” hit me so hard and I even cried a little. I really do hope you will receive the spiritual guidance and the strength from the universe to carry on doing what you love doing. Sending a big hug and lots of love ❤️
I felt very identified with the ideas you present at the beginning of the video and it was just the inspiration I needed to take on my first yoga class. Thank you very much for sharing your experience!
That rug, jaysus! Loving it....Good for you! You showed yup plenty.
Bloody hell… awesome results… I’ve been practicing daily for the last 3 weeks… this is inspiring
Well done
Thank you 🙏 you’re killin’ it! Keep at it!
I love this journey for you. Yoga has been the constant in my life now for 18 years and it has changed my life in so many ways. I’m so happy for you keeping up with your practice. 🎉❤
this spoke to me!! Thank you for sharing your journey and showing up even when you didn't want to. it inspired me. xo
Well done, it's been said that new challenges are hard at the beginning, messy in the middle but glorious at the end! I am on a similar journey and you have inspired me tokeep going thanks for your persistence, truly inspiring!
Thank you for sharing your story! This is the one of the most inspiring thing I saw.
Wow! What an inspiring story. I'm so grateful I got to see this today. THANK YOU! 😊
Fear.... That's exactly it.... Thank you for being so honest. It feels like you were talking to me personally. I'm going to take your advice about doing the sun salutations and start from there. Grateful to you for sharing this xx
Thank you for your inspiring video.. I have been putting off exercising long enough and this video is really what I needed ♥️
You are so welcome. Enjoy the process!
You don't know how much I needed this video ❤️ thank you thank you thank you ❤️
Thank u for the motivation!!! Focus on feelings and myself! Its too hard , but too important!
I absolutely love this video. Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring journey.
In the beginning it was hard to watch for me because I thought you were being pretty harsh on youself. Then I realised I speak to myself the same way. Your reasons are my reasons. That's why it resonated so much and touched me deeply. I just wanted to hug you and tell you: Girl, you got this! You can do it! I'm rooting for you! And now I understand that is what I need to tell myself! Thank you so much for this deep leason in self love and inspiring me to start on my own journey.
Lots of love to you and a happy and healthy journey that is life.
Isn't it crazy how hard we are on ourselves? When I realized how much I was doing that and how damaging that was it was when I found the courage to start practicing yoga again. It sounds contrary to everything we've been taught growing up, but self-motivation actually comes from self-acceptance, not self-judgment. May we continue find solidarity and warmth on our healing journeys.
beautiful words of encouragement that all of us who struggle getting out of the state where we put ourselves on the back burner...thank you for your kind words ❤🇨🇦
I needed to watch this video today. Thank you for making it
This video has inspired me to keep going with yoga, because I have the same fears that you did! Thanks for sharing :)
This was so insightful and beautiful. It really hit home in a lot of ways for me. I’ve had this vision of myself for the majority of my life that I haven’t been actualizing because I’m not the dancer I used to be, or I have old car accident junk. But I know that if I just showed up and practiced consistently, a lot of my chronic pain would probably dissipate.
One of the biggest challenges I have is breaking all the way through to the other side without self-sabotaging. I beat myself down before I’ve truly begun and then I beat myself up for quitting. It’s become a viscous cycle that I know I’m going to have to overcome if I want real progress in my life.
So thank you for the reminders of the little things and that half the practice really is just showing up for yourself. Also, thank you for your candor.
I wish you lots of success with your RUclips channel. You have a new subscriber here. ❤️
I am so happy to know that this video helped in some way. We are our harshest critics. I suffered a lot from self-judgment and self-sabotage in many areas of life. Looking back I hurt myself and people closest to me. But life is a school and we are here to learn. We are all fellow students and we can always share notes with each other. And this is what this channel is about!
Your comment gives me the fuel to keep sharing openly and honestly about the Work I do with my struggles. I wish you lots of love, gentleness, and appreciation for the self you find in each moment. We are all here with you on this journey. We got this!
Yes! We are worth it! I just love what a loving a supportive community we have here in this comment section!
Thank you for this portion of inspiration! I just started to do yoga, finding out what is it and your video shows in recommendation`s RUclips in time! Sometimes I think that looks so clumsy, feel awkward and decided to stop my yoga sessions, but keep im mind one phrase - just keep gong. It helps a lot! On April 10th I will have a small anniversary - 100 days of yoga! Thanks a lot!!
That’s beautiful. It’s not about being good at something, but being good to ourselves :) you got this!
Love your honesty and transparency. I’m in the beginning stages of my yoga journey. Thanks for sharing
Thank you.
You are amazing. I just started my yoga journey today. I haven’t done it in four years due to an autoimmune disease i fell ill with. ❤️
Wow. I really needed this. Thank you for the inspiration!! 💛
i love this video it has really inspired me! im going to try and do yoga for however many days thanks to you! and i loved what you said about you visualising yourself and now you need to show up as her, its something i really needed to hear!
So glad this was helpful to you in some way!
Thank you so much for doing this video and for your honesty 💙 you inspired me to continue and not giving up
I’m glad I could help
Your experience and your words are so inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Wow! This video is so inspiring. So glad to have been blessed with this video. Such encouraging positivity and full of wisdom.
I am 52 yrs old and just starting my self love practice. These tips are so helpful.
My mission for this year is to get strong and confident. And always to be healthy and fit. But now I am focusing more on the self love, confidence and strength.
I enjoy yoga. You inspire me to do more because uts like you said, showing up is half the battle, after you do it you feel more energized. It's also like active relaxation, sometimes challenging.
Thank you for posting this journey of yours.
You got so strong in 3 months. 🙏
Hi Yvette, your comment as hit the nail on the head! This is not a video about yoga, but a video about self love. And self love is a lesson we all need to learn regardless of our age. Only when we truly love ourselves can we take full responsibility for ourselves and our actions. Let's change the world together by loving ourselves more. Thank you.
im proud of you!! and love this video and your very inspirational words thanks for this video!!☺️💗💗
Congrats - and thank you for the pep talk, I needed it!
Wow girl !! you have made amazing progress in 3 months. Way to go!
Thank you! I’m amazed at it myself!
Thank you for sharing this! I have only done a 30 day yoga challenge so far. Your video makes me want to try to go for 100 days! Keep up the great work and good content!
Thank you for this beautiful reminder!
This was very inspiring, thank you! I'm a mom to an energetic *cough exhausting cough* 15 month old and I recently decided to start doing yoga again. I've been going to classes every other day for two weeks and seeing your progress motivated me even more to keep going!
Your progress in such a short time is impressive!
Thank you. I was in a very unique time of my life, where I left my 2 young kids to go home overseas to care for my sick mother. I had less distraction and thus able to practice very consistently. Now that I’m back home with my children I definitely haven’t been able to practice as consistently. So kudos to you for practicing daily while caring for a toddler! You’re doing amazingly!
Brilliant vid! The thing that made the difference for me were the comparative films where you showed the difference only 3 months regular practice makes - thanks! I'm inspired!! x
Thank you for sharing these vulnerable moments of your practice. This was really motivating to me.
Thank you for this video 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️ I needed this message
Wow! This inspires me to do headstand really 🙏 thank you so much! This is the first video of you that ive watched and im glad i came across your channel you are a blessing💕
everything you say is so relatable, thank you for this video and inspiration!
