30 Min Full Body Yoga Flow | Day 3 - 30 Day Improvers Yoga Challenge

[@CharlieFollows]

Welcome to day 3 friends I hope you enjoy working towards supported headstand ☺️

[@JeenaS.]

I did enjoy, only to end up falling on my back🫣😂 PS: It's my first time attempting a headstand with both legs up in the air. Nevertheless, thank you Charlie for making me attempt things I never did in my life❤

[@sallyhui3371]

I pick up yoga again after seen your channel , thanks 🎉

[@Maya-ke7xu]

My feet were weightless for half a second before my brain registered that I was actually doing a headstand for the first time and the excitement and fear kicked in causing my feet to plop back back 😅 I’m excited to build more strength and confidence over the next couple of weeks. Thank you, Charlie!

[@LouiseWildChild]

Same for me! My first headstand I’m so grateful!!!!🎉

[@carolynclark901]

I started practicing yoga at 58. I'm 61 now and have recently discovered your channel, which I love. I would consider myself an improver (aren't we all?), as I practice daily. However, no matter how hard I try, I can not step through from downward dog! This bothers me as it interrupts the flow of the class, but I will never stop trying 😊. Thank you so much for your classes Charlie, they are amazing 👏 🤩 ❤️

[@elsiewere6061]

I've been practising since I was 26(33 now) and I still cannot step through...😂😂

[@carolynclark901]

@elsiewere6061 Oh, it's great to know I'm not alone 😆 Yoga teachers seem to do this effortlessly, and as I practice mainly alone, I don't get to see others struggling 😅 Still, it does not put me off. My yoga mat is my favourite place in my home ❤️ 😍

[@krisztinanagy1626]

I’m 54 starts yoga 6 years ago, I still can’t do a lot of poses, but I’ll keep trying them 😅, It’s get better,never give up,love it ,it’s nice to know I’m not alone 😊

[@Vikyoga3012]

I am practicing since 23 (am 43) and still have my troubles with particular moves - but am able to appreciate every little achievement- hearing to my body's requirements has the most beneficial impact; and this class was a huge gift today!!!❤❤❤❤

[@BeingWellHolisticHealth]

So long as you get there that is all that matters

[@raquelrpj]

Charlie, I don't know if I'll ever do head stand, but is so nice to spend this time with you listening to the birds around you. So transporting!

[@CharlieFollows]

Oh thank you so much ☺️ I’m happy that you are enjoying the sounds of the birds as much as I do

[@mareikejoh8243]

I have no problem with the headstand itself but I am so far away from getting my head on the ground when standing (even if I bend my Knees)... So I had to go down on my knees to do a headstand 😂 am I the only one struggling with the part right before the headstand? I really love your videos ❤ I'm looking forward to the next one. Thank you 🥰

[@ch103judy]

Yes me too! I wonder if being on the knees is the correct modification or if there is some other way to work towards supported headstand?

[@being_pb]

Me too! Didn't think to try from my knees though, just held whatever shape I did manage yo get too lol!

[@nataliethomas7372]

In my in-person yoga classes, the instructor has us start with our knees together, put head/hands in position, then lift onto feet and slowly walk forward trying to get our hips above us (kinda reminiscent of dolphin to start) to help strengthen our base! I don't know if Charlie would recommend otherwise but my hamstrings are too tight right now to do it the way in this flow- something I apparently need to work on lol

[@natashasmancer8152]

No, you're not the only one 😂 I starting so laugh, when I understand that I don't do this 😂 Maybe at the future, but now it's not available for me. But I feel okay with this and it's matter. Have a nice day, guys! ❤

[@amberyoung82]

I have trouble with this too! I feel for me it is my anatomy. Long legs and short torso. Even if I were perfectly flexible, I'm not sure I could make it to my head from a wide legged forward fold, unless I'm basically in the splits.😂

[@retrob5340]

Such a great flow, always grateful , always blessed , Thank you so much for always sharing such a beautiful practices , looking forward to finish this challenge , happy June❤

[@MomTheEbayer101]

Not only am I enjoying the practice, but the background aesthetics are just as therapeutic! 🌺🌺🌺

[@bobthe2251]

I greatly appreciate all of your work and service sharing with others. Thank you.

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for your support and appreciation ☺️

[@amateuredits5159]

this was the perfect amount of strengthening and stretching/breathing!

[@CharlieFollows]

I’m so glad it was just right for you ☺️

[@bushin99]

Twisty, twisty, twisty...just what I needed! See you tomorrow.

[@heathersha]

That fallen triangle transition was slick. I will keep practicing to get close to smooth. There have been several really creative transitions that I haven't experienced before, already in just 3 days. 😍

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for saying I’m glad that you are enjoying the transitions and that I’m able to introduce new things to you 🙏

[@heathersha]

@@CharlieFollows You are so sweet! Thanks for your reply! 😍🙏🏽❤

[@bobthe2251]

I had just finished your last challenge when this one popped up. I didn't expect to keep doing challenges, but here I am. Thank you for the time, energy, and intentionality you put into the sharing of the classes. I had a 4 month bout of depressiln throughout this past winter and stopped moving my body. Which of course exacerbated the condition. I couldn't get myself on a consistent workout and movement routine and remembered i always turned to yoga in the past to support moments like that. Sure enough, i found your work and got back into it. I've been practicing daily again and being moderately active every day for the last few months. Your classes are uniquely engaging for me, offering a little twist here and there, a little challenge, and tranquility after. This has helped my sleep, my health routines, and lifestyle all get back on track. Your work and skill is very much noticed and appreciated. Thank you for sharing your craft, your practice, and your experience. *also the mini meditations and beautiful poems, your own, and Rumi's, wonderful to hear. May you be loved and blessed. Thank you, thank you 🙏

[@katrinschumann577]

Danke!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for your support 🙏

[@annebennett4101]

That flew by! Wild!!

[@normacarre6866]

this was a great yoga practice! Thank you Charlie! And love the sound of the birds in the background.

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much I’m so glad you are enjoying listening to the birds ☺️

[@sjdelacy7712]

How lovely to do shavasana in perfect peace, the silence punctuated only by birdsong. Cactus, twists, warrior poses- my back really appreciated this. Thank you yet again. I can't wait for Day 4!

[@aurilanise]

Hahahaha my body was more eager for headstand than I was! Before I knew it my body flowed into position with such confidence! I was a bit taken back and settled for keeping my toes on the ground. I am so proud and excited myself! Thank you Charlie 🥰🩷

[@amieonice]

Really enjoyed the class, thank you. Loving your cues. I took a tripod handstand from wide forward fold instead as I am still working on my supported headstand but it was the first time to achieve this variation. Woohoo

[@neartothewildheart]

I am proud of myself for doing this challenge and i hope that everybody else feels the same. I tried my best, i have never ever tried to do headstand before so this is challenging. I even feel like it was easier to bring my head on the ground on the first day. What i need to work on is patience and coordination, but overall this is a very relaxing experience for me 🩷 thank you so much for your work charlie!

[@anikaahmed9619]

Love the green trees and the beautiful flowers as a background. As usual you are an amazing trainer .

[@margaritadankova5061]

The most rewarding part is to read the comments, exchange our good energies, and know that you're not alone on this journey. We all did a great job. Namaste!

[@CharlieFollows]

Own thank you so much I love that the comment section is such a positive place to be 🙏 thank you everyone for sharing your experience

[@evelieningels9408]

I suprised myself today, I dared to actually put a decent amount of weight on my head, coming all the way on the tip of my toes. They're not lifting up quite yet, but it's awesome to see such improvements

[@emianaemiana]

Thanks!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@dalevandeven4072]

We marvel at how you consistently create these great videos. We can feel significant progress again and really appreciate your work! The creative transitions are so fun. Keep up the great work, Charlie

[@minweilee3446]

Really nice big stretches here… headstand in this class. Lovely to enter from wide-legged forward fold.

[@sandyendicott1178]

Wonderful &, for me, challenging. Challenging in a good way! Headstand still evades me but I will not be discouraged. I think I'll take the advice from one if the commenters by coming at it from pike instead of straddle, old hips! Thank you so much dearest Charlie for these wonderful classes, you are the absolute best🙏😊❤

[@karolinadobrowolska9863]

Thank you Charlie! ❤3/3 done so far. This challenge is great. I hope to do the practice every day with you ☺️

[@saraebara]

Amazing, as always! Thank you!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much

[@withywoods]

This beginner has been feeling all tuckered out after just two days. But I decided to keep positive, and honestly, having just finished today's yoga, I feel more energised rather than tired! You're a wizard, Charlie ✨

[@jaimehallowell9941]

Loved this flow. 🙏 🧘‍♀️ ☀️

[@CharlieFollows]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for joining me

[@vickornie]

This one was challenging as I practice after work before bed 😅 I LOVE new stuff you added! See you all tomorrow

[@claudiacollini1513]

Thank you so much Charlie,you are a wonderful yoga teacher🙏🙏🙏💛💙

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for such a kind comment and compliment ☺️

[@anonymousnowhere]

What a gorgeous location Charlie. Thanks so much

[@lalaflorez7066]

Excelent production, posproducción, exelente class!! Thank you, Charlie.

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much I'm so glad you are happy with the quality 🙏

[@stephaniecardenas4325]

Another day down! What a lovely background to practice yoga in. I couldn't get my head to touch the ground in assisted headstand, but I used a block instead. Much love, Charlie!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for updating me with how you are doing 🙏 I really appreciate your consistency with the challenge so far

[@princessskywalker3927]

Charlie, I DID IT! I did the headstand and held the entire time!! I did not think I was ready, I did not even plan to (I still feel safer with the wall) but I listened to exactly what you said and my legs started lifting! I DID IT!! 🥳🎉 I’m into week 3 of the headstand program (amongst others) and if anyone is unsure if you should work with Charlie, DO IT!!! You WILL get there and surprise yourself so much!!!! Don’t question it - you will NOT regret it!! Thank you Charlie, you truly are just absolutely amazing! BEST teacher ever!!! -Michelle 🧘‍♀️♥️

[@ViviSchr]

Yeyy! I was waiting for the classes with the Bougainvillea! So beautiful! Thank you!

[@CharlieFollows]

They are here for quite a few days 😊 I hope you enjoy the view

[@sofiacano2941]

I’m getting really close to headstand!! Ive been watching your classes for a few months now and can definitely tell a difference!

[@katherinelee8209]

This was excellent. Loved the first sequence with kickstand and straddle. I am nowhere near even getting my head to the mat for that headstand but I keep trying knowing I’ll get there eventually. Thank you x

[@pearlaquaheart5778]

Wow! So beautiful...the background and the sound of the peacocks heightened the elegance of the practice!❤

[@Carmen-ii7uz]

Really loving this challenge so far! Feels like it's perfect for me at this moment 🤗

[@carolinevarenne5652]

Thank you, Charlie. I love browsing for my yoga practice of the day or every two days. Have a great week!

[@Tyr1e]

Good morning Mrs./Ms. Follows! Perfect session this Sunday morning. I appreciate your time and energy as well while working towards & getting better at head stand. Thank you, namaste 🙏🏿

[@rachelsmith298]

Great day 3 work. Thank you for all the time and energy you put into these poses.

[@FernandaGutz22]

Day -Día 3! 💪✨️🙌 It felt really great! I am still far away from headstand BUT I feel I will make it! ✨️🇲🇽🐆🤍Thank you Charlie!! Much love!!

[@Bt7rmy-girl]

Today, I am very happy because i did my handstand, first i didn't expect that i could do, but because of you, Charlie, i did it. Thank you so much. I love you💜 😊 😃

[@niks7275]

I am so glad I decided to join this challenge, I just finished day 3 now, it is the evening in my time zone and it is so relaxing to spend this great time with you after a long day. I am so happy to have followed through the whole session including the supported headstand portion, I got to do it on the second try after I adjusted the elbows position as you instructed. Thank you Charlie and see you tomorrow! :)

[@jennyhaytch]

Always thought it’d be a much longer time before I’d get any lift on the headstand, but this morning already I managed an inch or two. 😄✨ This is *huge* The biggest inch I’ve ever experienced. Thanks, Charlie

[@tannaz56]

This is a very relaxing exercise for me🧘‍♀️thank you Charlie💝

[@wildolives]

As always, another amazing practice! Grazie mille!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@mritunjairastogi1028]

Thank you so much for this excellent flow..❤

[@SH-md7ks]

Looking forward to practice this evening 🙂. What a treat after a long day!!!

[@chucksax]

Great session today, and a beautiful backdrop! Those flowers are something else!

[@beestuart2346]

Hi Charlie! I am really enjoying this challenge so far and am very excited for the month ahead! Couldn't lift feet up in this straddle so just took them up into a tuck and then straddled from there :)

[@ВалеріяКарнаух-ч9с]

Oh, God, I lifted up my legs. I surprised myself, Charlie surprised me with my capabilities. Awesome!

[@jpsingh-eo5dt]

Awesome session!!

[@DamianDrake]

Another bonus class for me! As much as I love chilling in regular headstand, I’ve always found tripod headstand trickier. Why’s that? I have been improving in the last couple of years, but I can’t say I enjoy getting and staying up there, as I do with regular headstand. So today’s practice was perfect for me. I also thoroughly enjoyed the creative sequencing in the first half of the class. So much fun! Thank you again Charlie😊

[@gabrielaf]

Another sweaty one! For me it's almost impossible to enter supported headstand from a straddle. It's as if my brain doesn't quite know what's going on and which muscles to engage lol. Although I must confess I felt a little bit stronger and closer to do it today. Thank you Charlie! See you tomorrow for Day 4! Day 3 in the books!!

[@hebaasfari8729]

This may have been my favorite practice yet!! When I went into the headstand position my feet automatically lifted up it startled me 😂😂😂 I really enjoyed it❤thank you so much for amazing content and classes always ❤❤

[@antoinettestrauja3176]

I love the unique sequencing you are gifting us with. Thank you! I look forward to these practices everyday.

[@basswomanplus]

THANK YOU so much for your beautiful offerings...I really wanted to find some new inspiration with my yoga practice and have found it with you. I love your energy, your routines, your settings...🥰💫🙏

[@JohanneCammarataSuperKeto]

love this new challenge, it feels even more amazing!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for your amazing feedback I really appreciate it

[@Lemonette-mz9ts]

Another great lesson! Thank you! I’ve been doing yoga at a studio for years and haven’t come this far. I got my feet and legs off the ground, I think I’m almost into a head stand 😅 no wall assistance!

[@kennethmontoya6731]

Thanks Charlie I really enjoyed this I love doing headstands my favorite pose feel great this was a fantastic flow u really did a fantastic job keep up the great work this is a fantastic challenge see you tomorrow for day four have a wonderful evening 😊

[@mikeharada3142]

I’m here for the challenge and improving myself so this was exactly what I wanted but head stand with legs not straight up in the air but spread out like that was really difficult. Yet it was great to learn what I can and what I still can’t do. Thank you for posting.

[@theresa5437]

Doing this video for the 2nd time, and I did my first ever supported headstand! Thanks Charlie ❤

[@JemimaNoller]

That was amazing. You explain the cues so well, especially for engaging muscles and posture. I never thought to pull in my feet during warrior two, worked a treat!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much I’m glad you feel that my cueing is effective 🙏

[@hellekarlstad4293]

Wonderful again sweet Charlie 🙏🏽 Happy to report that I managed the headstand this time without toppling over backwards 🤦‍♀️😂 Thank you so much for sharing your energy with all of us ❤️❤️

[@mandcbruce]

Loved the pace of this practice. I tend to rush through life. One of the greatest gifts from practicing yoga is to slow down and pay attention! You had us shift our weight and spread our toes before balancing and it made a big difference! Thank u Charlie! I hope you are getting as much from teaching as we are from being Followers!❤❤❤

[@claradec5747]

Love your classes. Namaste 😊

[@Annie-zs2bt]

This is perfect class for me , thank you Charlie . I love the full body yoga like this ❤❤❤

[@ingridamurauskiene5945]

Thank you so much Charlie ❤

[@bcimterriblewtitles]

Day 3 done-aroo! I’m loving how calm yet strong I feel. Thank you ❤

[@piyadhiman000]

Practicing Yoga with you is such a blessing ❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for saying, I feel lucky to have you practicing with me ☺️

[@paulahilbert4221]

Dear Charlie, this yoga challenge is a true gem! June will be a very challenging month for me, but the yoga challenge helps me feeling grounded through these troubled times and it also reminds me, how important it is to take some time for myself💛 Thank you for all the effort you put into this challenge🤗

[@fousdevelos4937]

Super seance! Merci Charlie! 🙏🧡💛

[@SteveHarley-t7e]

Although I started late, day 3 now completed. For me supported headstand, nowhere near 😂, but let's see where I am at the end 😊. Challenging but not demotivating. Thank you Charlie ❤

[@carolynandrews860]

I enjoyed this class Charlie very much. While you were doing a headstand I happily had reached down far enough to put my head on my block. It felt good as yoga always does for me despite my clinical diagnosis of bilateral hip osteoarthritis and scoliosis. I’ve practiced yoga daily for 20 years and at 65 I feel great. Thank you for challenging me to do more and better

[@anasofialozano7914]

Thank you Charlie! You’re amazing! Your yoga teachings are the best! ❤

[@deannfield9629]

That was wonderful. The headstand felt perfect🙏🏻

[@anjitapper2393]

Loved loved this class, at 67 I can’t get my head on the ground for supported headstand so I tried the one from day 2 still can’t get there but I’m having fun trying! Your classes are at a wonderful pace and I look forward to new daily challenges, thank you Charlie❤

[@sebouhakharjalian6707]

Another great practice. I did the new headstand version in the day 3 of the challenge. This was a nice Class. Thank you again, Charlie❤🙏

[@SukonA-Peters]

Thank you very much for yoga challenge , you are amazing yoga teacher ,I am happy and enjoy every time on the yoga mat with your practice .

[@amandaclark2419]

Another creative flow. Thanks for sharing Charlie.

[@happinessinharmony]

Loving the daily challenge 🤗 ❤ thank you Charlie

[@Yulia-lu3cv]

Thank you so much for this amazing practice. I was feeling very bad today and finally decided to try day 3, at 4 am in the morning but i did it! Now feeling better I’ll go to sleep and hope for a better tomorrow ❤thank you so much for your amazing gift

[@madelynedeloach7875]

thank you for another great yoga class!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for joining me 🙏

[@being_pb]

Couldn't quite get my head to the floor but enjoyed the full flow and sequence to get there. I'll def be more confident to try it again. 3 days in and loving the challenge 🙏❤️

[@jamesheath8594]

I really enjoyed day 3 it was so much fun I had fun trying to do supported headstand I was really surprised and happy that I was able to do puppy pose I'm so happy thank you miss Charlie you rock ✌️ I'm loving the 30 day yoga challenge it's amazing

[@martagaro24]

Thanks for this practice 🤩

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you 🙏

[@krisztinanagy1626]

Thank you Charlie, love the challenge,awesomeness 🙏🤩🌻

[@thomasthomas8049]

Thanks for the lesson, miss Charlie! I didn't get my head to the ground yet, so I will practice the forward folds more!

[@shelbyhutchinson4979]

I lost a lot of core strength after pregnancy and child birth. On day one, I flopped down every time during chaturanga even with my knees down...today I was came down each time with control! Definitely an improvement and so encouraging on my journey to regain strength.

[@carolm.ferreira3699]

Great stretching for the morning! Thanks!😊

[@FlossontheMill]

Super powerful flow today Charlie. I didn't quite manage the supported headstand. However I really enjoyed the class. 😊

[@beccarakin6340]

Okay... You got me here. I couldn't get the headstand ... I barely got my head to the floor, legs don't stretch far enough apart or something. I got the crow with head down n knees on upper arms like crow tho !!! I'll get there !!! Hopefully !!! Can't wait to do the next one !!!

[@KayKayBayForever]

This feels like a perfect follow up to the first challenge (meaning the one from January). If I’m remembering right, that one started out a little easier than this one. But this one isn’t a *lot* harder. Just harder enough to capitalize on the gains from the first one. Or at least that’s my experience so far. :)

[@thaynaemillycavalcantesant3687]

Amazinnng class! One of my favorites!

[@ianfredericks-nutbushvcity2791]

Many thanks for the class Charlie 🙏🙏

[@triciasolito5914]

Amazing day 3!!!! I did it, a little bit! I feel like Edwina in Chicken Run, “I flew! Did you see me?!” I’m excited to try again soon. Thank you so much Charlie! ❤
