Hi Everyone
Welcome to the 30 day yoga challenge, my name is Lisa (aka lise_anne on MFP)
I am married and a full time working mama who is intent on being fit for life and this month I was invited by a friend to do a yoga challenge and so hence the group so I can help others have a little challenge as well. One of the reasons I am doing this challenge is because a new runner and I believe that it will really go hand in hand with yoga and just because I love yoga and want to take myself farther than just being a beginnner.
My goal is either in the morning before I leave to work or before bed each day to do my morning (about 15 min) or evening (about 17 min) yoga dvd. Yoga for Beginners by Rodney Yee, I will enjoy getting used to the routines in the video. and I usually heat my room to about 28-30 degrees for my sessions.
What are your goals or plans for this 30 day challenge?
Good luck to you all on your yoga journey and Namaste :flowerforyou:

Hi
I hope you don't mind me joining in - I use to do yoga regularly but never got past beginner, in the last three years since having my son I haven't practiced, and one of my goals for 2014 is to reconnect with my old self as well as get fit and healthy.
I have along way to go weight wise, but as I too am going to begin (interval) running I thought yoga would also be beneficial to help warm up my limbs.
I will probably start off with basic sun salutation routine twice a day (like I said it's been a while) and a class once a week and then look into other routines. So I would love some suggestions... Bear in mind I am all boob and belly so they get in the way!0 -
Hi, I would love to participate! I love yoga and used to be pretty good at it, but then stopped. I'm starting up again about 2 years later and 10lbs heavier. I do yoga every other day, but have thought about upping it to everyday. So this Challenge is perfect timing.
I also joined another challenge to complete 200 miles during Feb & March so hopefully the two challenges together will help me get rid of the extra 10lbs (hopefully even the 20lbs I need to loose) and get me back to feeling stronger and healthier!
Tip for everyone - don't stop!! ;-)0 -
I love yoga and just started getting back into shape and yoga really helps get you toned.0

Hi, I hope you don't mind if I join your group! I just bought a fitbit and was looking at the different groups. I'm looking for motivation to get me going. I need to loose about 15 lbs and need to exercise more! I work full-time plus especially this time of year because I'm an accountant. So I'm working 55 plus hours a week until April 15th, so I really need motivation to keep my diet on track & to exercise. I'm interested in yoga because I have back problems and I think that yoga might help.
If you don't mind me joining: my name is Ellen Huffman. Thanks!!0 -
Hi! I'd really like to join your group. I'm taking up running and would like to incorporate yoga into my day to help with flexibility and to just relax! I used to do yoga more often and am trying to get back into it. I think this group would really help me stay focused and motivated.0

Hi and Welcome
I have only gone to a handful of yoga classes but found I prefer the comfort of my own home, so I usually use yoga dvd's and I have also done some videos from sparkpeople checkout out the vids here http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/videos-category.asp?category=5 maybe you might find something to out there. if I get bored of my current dvd this is where I plan to go0 -

Yes I totally agree, and its always bonus to be more flexible and to relax our minds and body...took me awhile to warm to actually wanting to try yoga and when I finally did I loved it, can't wait to see the results after one month.0 -

Hi, I'm about to turn 50 so I'm feeling old and stiff! what a great idea to help me gain strength and flexibility so that I can jump back onto the fitness bandwagon. I started last night doing 20 min. of yoga on wii fitness. It will be tough for me to make myself do it everyday. thanks for making this challenge. Now I have a goal to start with.0

Your welcome and even if you can only do a couple poses per day it will count you can do it. and there is no minimum time to practice each day as long as you tried good luck 0 -
Hello I'm hoping to join in too! I have practiced yoga on and off for years but whilst trying to lose weight and train for a 10k last year I sort of abandoned it. I'm at my goal weight now though so would love to get back to my practice. I love both Hatha Yoga and Kundalini so will probably do a mix and also incorporate some meditation too. More about me... I am a stay at home mum although I do work two evenings a week, am married and love wine and ale!! I don't have a car so am always walking with my son and hope this will help me burn calories alongside my yoga
Good luck to everyone joining to challenge, I can't wait to see what benefits we all feel
