Day 17 of #YWACenter - yeah I'm not doing much better at rebuilding the habit to claim the headspace for myself, but at least I got back to the mat this one time again. Cat made it a bit hard to focus with trying to get my attention by stepping on the stove and later biting the blinds somewhere along the way, but otherwise pretty good. Upper body pretzel!
Day 16 of #YWACenter after yet another busy workweek with working later hours than I should - this session was a great way to release some of that. Gotta say, the break helped me realize again what I'm missing if I don't claim the time for this. I feel busy/tired from work so forego practice, which then doesn't help me release that stress, so I continue being more busy/tired in my mind - vicious cycle. But it's nice to have a relatively simple fix just by coming back to the mat.
First workout since a lesion on my leg got biopsied. (Luckily the afternoon after I finished #ywaCenter.) I did a slow run and my leg where the wound is is definitely tingly- but it felt good to move. Hopefully this time next week I’ll know whether more removal is needed or if it was benign. I’ve had that brown mark on my leg since at least college- so it’s really weird not seeing it there anymore.

Day 30 of #YWACenter - and the January programme for 2023 - is complete! We did it, #YogaWithAdriene watching FediFolks! 

As always, a huge thank you to Adriene for providing the entire programme for free, and another huge thank you to Benji for being Benji.

One thing I’ve learned for certain is that I do look forward to regular mat time. Going to take that forward and see where it leads.

Day 30 - Return

Well this yoga journey is finished for me- though I know I’ll be back on the mat later this week after a few days to rest and reflect.

This is my third yoga journey with Adriene and I always dread the day 30 video because I don’t like the lack of audio cues. It’s hard for me to follow the flow and I know that’s the point- to flow with her and take inspiration but to trust ourselves. And I have difficulty doing that because I want to stick to the plan.

#ywaCenter

Wow, has it been 30 days already? Amazing how January flies by when I'm doing #30DaysOfYoga. Thank you so much for this fun journey!

Day 29 - Pleasure

There was nothing pleasurable about this practice… lol… but I added on a 2000m row for the penultimate day of this 30 Day Journey.

I can’t believe how this month has flown by. Or rained by- it’s raining again.

#YWACenter Do I know myself well or what? Giving myself the grace of not doing one of the yoga videos turned into four. But I have a much better mindset about it this year. In past years I've "allowed" myself to get a tshirt if I complete the full 30 days in real time. This year I bought the shirt anyway and I will pick up from the last video I did today and go from there. Continuing to offer myself the same grace I would offer one of you in the same position. #YogaWithAdriene
Day 29 of #ywacenter . I'm going to miss this. I will try and keep practicing every day, but having a collective daily practice gives a lot of motivation. #YogaWithAdriene @yoga

Two weeks since my last #YWACenter - life happened, including a stomach bug last week. But today I wanted to get myself back on the mat, coincidentally and thematically picking this series back up on Day 15 to Reset.

I'm not going to push myself to do a double session nor the Monday kettle bell exercise, but just be content with getting back to this at all.

So hi, missed y'all on the hashtag, hope you've been doing well. Proud to see y'all making progress through these 30 days, wherever you are along the way, even if it's on a break like I was. It's all good.
