I put my hand up and say that I didnt manage to get in a daily dose of yoga, for which I apologise. HOWEVER - the plus side is that I've now got a regular yoga class, I am practicing meditation on the breath and positive affirmations each day. My sister and I have agreed to treat ourselves to a yoga focussed holiday and…

23/05 15 mins of morning stretches - just can't seem to do the

Today I've been doing something right out of my comfort zone by attending a yoga chanting and meditation workshop, run by a Swami from a nearby yoga Ashram. Met some interesting concepts, looked at walking meditations, meditations on the breath, sung chants, Om/Aum and other ideas. Never really connected this sort of thing…

And back to class it was - 90 Minutes of pure bliss

Good morning from the UK Back to class today - yay!

Good Morning everyone. Here in my area of the U.K it's raining ☔️ a lot

10/05 - no yoga ☹️ life got in the way. 11/05 - 15 mins of my "rise and shrine routine - with added warrior just for good measure!

09/05 - checking in from the UK Did hatha yoga this morning, but broke with my normal sequence and just went where the mood took me. There was a lot of warrior asanas (is that the right term?) in there, as well as tree balances. Also meditated on the breath for 10 Mins. Shanti Shanri Shanti (peace peace peace)

08/05 - 90 minute yoga class (300 calls). :)

I'm a bit late for this one - but I'm in. My personal goal is to achieve a minimum of 15 mins per day.

HEADED WEST :D

Oh My God! We broke up???? I hadn't realised :D

And that's how you do it. I am so remotivated after seeing this.

The Welsh Borders checking in here.

Right, that's it - I may be 53 in two weeks time, but I'm going to see if I can achieve the splits by this time next year! I'm so motivated by what I've read here.

Well done Everett9239 and HelenCShuler. Personally I'm a long way off being able to do either of these - but I live in hope!

Well I loved the video and it got me wondering what it is that has me pole addicted although I can't do very much at all. I love the girls in my class, they are so supportive I love being physically strong, but lean at the same time I think I might love the shoes, but the jury is still out on that one. I love nailing a new…

And lets not forget that when you dismount your eyes are still going around and around! :D

Mouse_Potato, Think about checking out the Youtube Fitness Channel - its got thousands of fitness videos

Did anyone ever mention that whilst you look like Matthew Perry, you also look a bit like Colin Firth (British Actor)

Hi Mouse_Potato This whole business of 50mm and 40mm and 45mm / hand size. I cant bear a 40mm, love a 45mm, but a 50mm (its only .5cm more!), makes me feel that it's too big to grip. However I can totally see the logic in "if you can do it on a 50 you can do it on anything." Anyway, I've got a 45mm spinner (x-pole xpert),…

Firstly - Owwch! Secondly, I cannot recommend yoga highly enough, strength and flexibility - you'll be amazed, after about 6 weeks I just couldn't believe the difference in my abilities. I suffer from osteoarthritis in my knees which is one of the reasons I pole dance (low impact if I stay in control). Are you in…

Well after about 2 years of no pole I'm back and now the proud possessor of a 45mm xpert X pole. I'm also with a new teacher who is far more supportive and is very understanding of the fact that I have advanced osteoarthritis in one of my knee joints which makes some moves very difficult. Anyway - I'm right back at the…

Me! I've just noticed elbow pain - but I think that's because I've just started back to pole after a break of nearly two years and I kind of really went for it - which as we all know was a case of enthusiasum over common sense.

Hi We're running a July 2014 31 day commitment group, because we're all Jilly girls who met us doing 30DS about a year ago and we've kept in touch. July 2014 is re-activating the commitment to Jilly Michaels home DVD's so you are welcome to join us. Find us at Jillys July Bloomers and lets catch the bus out of "poochy…

Love Affair

Oh Flip! I forgot I'd changed my user icon to the yoga cat. Sorry next person along!

Beautiful + Handsome = just plain sexy!

LOL - 20 minutes long and by the time you've talked yourself out of it you've done it! This is SO VERY TRUE. Brilliant comment. I did it last year - loved it, it did amazing things for me .... BUT I didn't really take care of my knees and realised that I needed more of a warm up and cool down, than our Jillian does. By Day…

Yep - been there done that. Now quietly getting back into my stride. The fact that you are devastated tells us that you really care about how far you come and it is in that caring you will re-engage with your motivation. Learn from this, work out what the trigger was (mine was complacency and arrogance, I just thought I…
