This is thread where we log our daily yoga practice and where we can also share our daily struggles, tips, ask for advices, celebrate our progress.. 
You can log each day (like day 1- done, day 2 -done etc.) or you can log weekly (day 1-7 done, day 8-15 done etc. ), however fits you the best. The most important thing is to do yoga routine every day and to log that you did it so that we can support, motivate and inspire each other.

Day 1 done!
________________
I did a sequence:
plank - downward dog - three legged down.dog - low lunge - high lunge - side angle - warrior 2 - reverse warrior - triangle - half moon - warrior 3
________________
Some of the poses I am not so familiar with and I have to check what is correct way of doing it (low lunge, high lunge, reverse warrior). That being said, I feel pretty great 4 -
Day 1 completed
https://youtu.be/oBu-pQG6sTY
This is what I did.... I watched it last night to see what I was getting into and in my head I was like, "Looks doable... I've totally got this!!!"
However.....
I actually sweated. I can not plank... well, 1.5 seconds. I'm waaaaayyyyyy weaker than I thought I was. My back muscles are crap.... along with my core. Just sitting "head over heart; heart over pelvis" was a struggle!!!! I have HORRIBLE posture. Does it hurt anyone else's tail bone when you lay flat on your back and draw your knees to your chest?!?! Or "rock" in that pose?!?! I swear it feels like my entire sacrum and nerves there are getting smashed by a hammer when I do it...?
But I did it... all... as much as my body allowed. Seriously curious about where I'll be after 100 days. 4 -
8/1 done - 20 minutes Morning Yoga with Adrienne
2 -
I just cannot wait to get home and do yoga! BUT..I am doing yoga poses at my standing desk (I'm in a private area in the office). Working on my tree pose in skinny jeans - haha kinda not very giving like yoga pants!!
2 -
Day 1: did good morning sequence recommended by daneejela, and 35 minute Adriene video. Me and "balancing stick pose" don't get along. The word balance is key. As I get stronger, the balance will be easier (I hope).3
-
Day 1: vinyasa flow! Feels so good after!3
-
Day 1 = DONE. I only did about 20 minutes--did some poses I know from classes + a few from Kerri Verna's instagram. I found out yesterday that I have a major back surgery in my near future and I am totally freaked out. Between now and the surgery I want to use yoga to get my core and balance and posture better and to help me calm down. It's a tall order!!3

You made this sound SO fun (
) that I am going to try it tomorrow! I'll let you know if my tailbone hurts ... Hahahaha!! Jacki

Day 1 done, Considered doing 3 rounds of this 30 days of yoga challenge, but I think once I complete this 30 day I will find a different 30 set to change things up and keep my body challenged. I much better after than I did when I started, even though this first introductory was only 15 minutes. Today I have day-after-leg-day soreness, and it has considerably lessened. I feel lighter and more loose. I can not wait to see the progress after 30 days.
I just have to make sure I have plenty of space for my body to stretch out completely in my room. I completely rearranged my room specifically for this, lol.

Day 2 completed
https://youtu.be/TB2ISQZ5Mb0
I had to really have a pep talk with myself before starting this round. It's really important to have a purpose. And it's really important to keep your purpose at the forefront of everything you do. Me losing weight, being healthy, and getting strong is so much more important than my uncomfortableness right now.
I'll share my purpose.... I turn 30 in February. I would love to enjoy my 30's because my 20's were hell. Part of enjoying life is being healthy in every facet of your life. I'm focusing on my health for now and I know it will trickle into the other areas.
What's your purpose?3 -
@Hannah2Heart @MiamiSeoul @EBJ88 @drabbits2 @carlsoda @jackinorrie @SheilaCali
Awesome work girls! First day is the hardest, so we just conquered the hardest day!
It's ok if we feel not-so-graceful at this point, the harder it is now, the sweeter will be results.
Please only be careful if you have any injuries, go easy and gently with your body and it will reward you for it

@Hannah2Heart
that is a great question!
I am in my early 30s and much of what you wrote resonates with me.
My 20s were mostly crazy time when I was using what was given to me. Now I feel like I am going into part of my life where I need to create, build most of what my life is gonna be.
I would like to start a family and I would like to build healthy habits that I can pass on to my kids.1 -

Oh no I am so sorry. I had a bulged disk about 4 years ago and when they threatened surgery on me I tried a chiropractor. So far it's been ok but yoga has really helped too. I had the sciatic nerve pinch with some nerve damage in my leg, but I feel like I've completely recovered. Good luck!!!0 -

Yes, it kills me to do that! Like my tailbone is digging into the floor.
But you did it!! Awesome!2 -
Day 2 complete! I did Below the Belt for DDPYoga. I'm not sure what the names are in regular yoga for most of the moves that I did...he renames them so they sound more manly and yes yoga-y. Not a lot of getting on the floor. Looking up poses, it looks like lots of chair pose, extended side angle, garland pose, high lunge, crescent high lunge, standing forward bend, plank, standing half forward bend, warrior pose 1 and 2...and some others. I should learn the actual names of the poses so if someone asks I know!2
-
I just found and started Ease into it 30 days on youtube and started it. I was looking on MFP forums to see if I should log this under strength and I found this group! I joined! I'm a day late, but better late than not at all! I have RA and have not exercised much at all in the last 3 years. I just completed day 1 1
-
Day 2: did about 30 minutes, but there was a lot of "flow" and legs in the air. Whew, I got sweaty too. I'm doing a lot of pushups this week (from another challenge), so the warrior variations were great for stretching out my back. Nice. The amount of time on my arms is almost too much to handle. No wonder those yogis have such toned arms and shoulders- from all the poses they seem to hold forever. I talked with a woman in her 60's who's really toned-she's been practicing for 15 years. Wow. 98 days to go, ha ha! One day at a time....I'm glad it's not a race to the finish.1

Day 1 done. Have not done yoga in awhile so I did two small 15 minute sessions for beginners.1
-
Day 2 done: yoga with Adriene Yoga for Psoas. Great practice today!1

@Hannah2Heart @Wraiythe @MiamiSeoul @EBJ88 @drabbits2 @carlsoda @jackinorrie @SheilaCali @VampireAngelWings @strongerbytheday @ana_varn @wellnesschaser
Great job everyone!
It's so hot outside, we don't have that much time, we're stiff, we're struggling with the poses, but we did it
Let's get into day 3/ 2 for some of us
Be gentle with yourself
Some days it's ok if we do only few poses, the only important thing is that we do it...our body loves consistency
I wish you everyone a great day3 -

(In the case that you wander - I am not doing yoga in 2, 3 am or anything near I am on the other side of the globe then most of you, so it's actually 10 am here )

Day 3: getting stronger sequence (thanks again daneejela). After 100 days, I should be able to get and keep my legs up in the air!2
-
Day 2 I was looking into that 30 days yoga video that was posted but after looking at her other videos I went with her beginner video. I honestly forget her name I think it's Adrian or something. But her beginner video was easy to follow and do. I may use it for a few days to get back into yoga and loosen up before trying her 30 day videos.2
-
Day 2 I didn't do--fell asleep on the couch before I got to yoga. Today--Day 3--20 minute flow with this online bundle I bought through omstars + did some poses from Kerri Verna's 30 day challlenge.
carisoda--thanks for the kind words. I am hoping a combo of yoga and acupuncture will help + swimming when I can get myself over there.1 -
My day two started at 5a.m. & ended at 8p.m. I tried to psych myself into doing half a dozen Sun Salutations, but all I could manage was to crawl into bed.
8/3 25 minutes Total Body Yoga w/Fightmaster Yoga
YAY

Day 3: 10 minute vinyasa flow!2

Day 2/100
Today I had some trouble in my practice, with my RA wrists. I really hope that this doesn't aggravate them too much, but instead brings me some flexibility. Day 2 seemed more than a day apart form day one, in that it was more difficult for me. If it continues to progress quickly, then I may have to repeat days before I advance. Is it just me?1 -

Each day will be uniquely different. Just do what you can, if your wrists are sore don't do any downward dogs, give them a break and respect your body. Just keep practicing whatever you can 1 -
I definatly will! Thanks!0
