Hi, Sorry I did not check this thread earlier. You are all welcome to join! Please do add me if you would like to. I keep yoga in my days and planning to do a 30 day challenge later again, but at the moment just doing 3 classes a week and try to focus on my posture on a daily base. I use savasana and some breathing…

Hi All, This is the end of the 30 day yoga challenge. I figured out it is not as easy as I thought. Doing 5 times a week is fine but I was missing a few days. I decided to keep going, doing as many yoga session as I can. At the end of the day I know more about myself than I knew before - regardless if I am happy with the…

How are you all doing? I have been struggling with doing yoga a couple of days so I decided to add these days to the end of the 30 day and then make it longer. On the long term I want to practice yoga almost every day, make it part of my life. It is such a good feeling to let go all the daily stress on a good yoga session!…

Sometimes you need to process the past, that is part of the journey. Have you ever felt angry during yoga? Sometimes I get so angry...! It has nothing to do with the actual yoga class or my mood during the day. I think my mind is detoxing as well. :smile: If that;s true, maybe sadness is part of the process as well. Good…

We started this challenge a week ago. How is everybody? I had a really sporty day yesterday so I am resting today - sticking to yoga. :smile:
-
Thank you, @yoginimary! :smile: @CarolPre - I am having difficulties as well, but the important thing is to try. My aim is to do at least 15-20 minutes yoga a day - and don't want to hate yoga at the end! So on the worst days I would recommend some breathing exercises, sitting comfortably on the floor / mat and then lie…

Morning, Everybody! @Vune - I am happy the surgery went well. :smile: It is going to be better from now on. How is everybody doing? It is the 4th day. I had a yoga class on the first day and two home practices on Monday and Tuesday. Really short ones as I don't really know what I am doing. I have attended classes for years…

That sounds like a good plan! And there is a reason why I have not added date to the name of this conversation - I want people to feel free to start a 30 day challenge when they feel it. :smile: Welcome to the group!

I tried out the yoga video @lakelochness linked in. It was enjoyable even in the evening. The strange thing is about practicing yoga at home, that I can do whichever pose I want for as long as I want. I think I am gonna like it! :wink: Tomorrow is gonna be challenging as I will not be back at home until almost midnight. So…

Hi there, I am planning to do today's yoga in the evening. I am not a morning person although I am planning to try out at least once yoga in the morning, before work. But I am not there yet. :smile: How about you? Are you planning to do it in the morning / in the evening?

Happy Yoga Day, Everyone! I am back from my class, it was a 90 minute one and I feel so much better after it. I know I won't be able to do every day this much, mostly going to aim for a 15-30 minutes practice on those days I can not go to the gym. @lakelochness - thanks for the video! I will watch it and try it. Today I…

Thank you for all your advice! I signed up for classes for Sunday to get a good start, next Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. The other days I will need to set up the new habit of doing yoga at home.

I am happy that you are up for the challenge! :) I ordered this week a yoga mat which I have planned for a long time. It arrived, so now I have my first own one. It is a Manduka LiveON 5mm mat. I am a member at the local gym so I will try to sign up for some yoga classes there. The other days I am planning to come up with…

Egham (Surrey) - feel free to add :smile:

I am still here. I lost about 13 pounds till now in about 8 weeks - and definitely continuing. Now I am learning to enjoy the journey - but it's hard to find the balance to treat yourself (without cheat days) and be good at the same time. I don't want to feel guilty when I enjoy the way and surely don't want to wait my…

Last day of the month! How are you all doing?
-
Having a bad week can happen any time - but the strength to get back on the horse is what counts! After all it was just one week and we are working for the long term.
-
It's Friday the 13th. Is it a bad day or a good day to get closer to your goals? :)
-
I think my first week was really successful. I started to lose weight, 6lbs! I know it is not always going to be this good so try to brace myself for that - and went for the gym twice, also spent a lot of time outside during weekend. I think generally I have more energy and feel better about myself. I don't miss the guilt…

Thank you! It is a great advice, I tried it and works! :)

I am struggling with hunger for 3 days. What do you think - how long does it take to get used to the smaller calorie intakes?
-
I had a problem with breakfasts as well - I am usualy eating something sweet and previously easily went for the unhealthy food available on my way to work. Now I have changed that to either porridge (almond and honey version) or one package of Belvita. It is important that you start your day with energy! Why was the…

I'm in! I need to lose 50 lbs - I am here for the long term. This is my first try so I am not sure when to expect the first really bad day - but will keep trying. I decided to lose 8lbs in March - would like to achieve the most I can. Motivation for me - and hopefully to some of you as well: It takes 4 weeks for you to…
