30 Min Yoga Flow For Hips & Spine | Day 5 - 30 Day Improvers Yoga Challenge

[@CharlieFollows]

Hello friends I hope you enjoy working into wheel and 1 leg wheel ❤

[@Nocapscripture]

Just did my second day, Thank you for doing what you do. Sharing and teaching. Your vibration is incredible. 💚

[@sumanapal3614]

Really enjoyed and your commentary on breathing is very helpful..loved it...❤❤from India😊

[@SM-zh6zo]

These classes are generally excellent, but I worry about this approach to wheel and the potential damage it could do to wrists by twisting while so much weight is on them. I injured my elbow transitioning into side plank once by twisting from wild thing and wish the yogi had given more warning in advance.

[@henrietta2499]

Hi Charlie! I'm loving the challenge so far. Can I ask where you're filming these videos? It looks so gorgeous

[@farzanehfarzaneh6912]

Thanks for wonderful practice today ❤❤❤❤

[@amychristinelyons]

Your build up to the peak pose was amazing! This was one of the most intentional practices I’ve ever done. You are such a gifted teacher!

[@chloediblasio305]

Totally agree🎉

[@AlejandraRodriguezTi]

agreeee

[@BeatrizOliveira-oe2eg]

Yes! ❤

[@hazarlayoun1176]

She is!!!

[@JohanneCammarataSuperKeto]

i really want to take a moment to acknowledge how GENEROUS this challenge is! thank you SO MUCH Charlie! You deserve a few millions of subscriptions here!

[@brentmallett3818]

Thanks Charlie, very pleased to be able to do wheel for the first time (albeit could only hold the pose briefly). Enjoying the 30 day challenge. (Btw, I’m 62).

[@bushin99]

A tough class for me today. Wheel has always been a challenge, so I tend to avoid it. I loved the progression! Thank you for your inspiration. See you tomorrow.

[@hagarst3303]

Wow this challenge really makes me SWEAT! I feel my limits being pushed every day and already feel myself getting stronger 💪🏻 this practice felt super intentional, and though wheel was always available to me, today I felt extremely strong and grounded, and I felt really connected to my body. Thank you Charlie!! Can't wait for day 6 ❤

[@renaissancewoman30]

I'm beginning again on day 5, after a busy spring in the garden that kicked my booty! It feels so imperative to stretch and strengthen my amazing body. I say "amazing" because of the hard work it was able to do, long hours of shifting earth and planting seed...pulling weeds and digging. With the proper nutrition, my body was regenerating even while breaking down. Embrace what your amazing body is able to do, my fellow Charlie Follows yogis! Thank you, Charlie, for being the most accessible teacher I have found here. I will definitely keep supporting you on into the future❤

[@franarnold2029]

You're such a fantastic teacher! You break poses down into manageable bits that make everything fall into place easily. I honestly felt so proud of myself for being able to lift one leg off the ground in wheel (albeit not far off the ground) but I've never been able to do that in my 35 years! I am so chuffed and sweaty 😂 your teaching is unmatched and I'm loving this new challenge so far. Thankyou so much Charlie for making me feel confident in myself ❤

[@cybercaph]

wowwww throwback to when i did wheel for the first time during the january challenge!! my inner child loves doing wheel, it’s so challenging and fun! thank you for showing me what i’m capable of

[@johnpenswick943]

Wheel proper scares me and is a struggle just to get to balance on my head so this progression is great to build confidence and strength gradually. Thanks.

[@renaissancewoman30]

I am right there with you! Thanks for expressing.

[@wanderinlife68]

Loving this challenge. So glad I found your channel.

[@CharlieFollows]

I’m so glad you found my channel too ☺️ thank you for being here

[@evf1417]

Loving this month of yoga! Great sessions, they fly by.

[@PanewsONE]

I love that you’re so all in on this. Very much appreciated

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@raquelrpj]

Wow Charlie, I can feel my body falling softly into the postures for first time after years. What a beautiful sensation. And could back bend holding on my head. I didn't think I could do that at all! Love you! ❤

[@kennethmontoya6731]

Thanks Charlie wheel always challenging poses tough work out thumbs up always keep up the great work see you tomorrow for day 6 have a wonderful evening

[@pearlaquaheart5778]

Wooo! I loved this so much! Specially the transition from wildthing to wheel!💖

[@Vmgator]

Man, this is 2nd time through and I already feel improvements but still super challenging. I just love this yoga space. Thank you, Charlie, so very much for sharing your gift with us❤❤❤

[@annwan10]

never thought i’d be able to do the wheel from a reverse table top position! so proud of myself and thank you Charlie for the amazing classes as always ❤

[@paulinec8842]

Great yoga sesssion - in a peaceful setting with the beautiful bougainvilleas. Loved transitions into wheel - gradually got me into it. Also loved the wind-down to shavasana at the end. Thank you

[@andreabrantley8126]

Was able to do wheel from bridge pose, first time ever thanks to your excellent cues and teaching Charlie! I was feeling a little intimidated going in but I should know by now to trust in your process

[@ishumawji3438]

Tough class challenge As you said already Could not do new new Haha but was fun learning new things Bless you ❤

[@arielgardea9745]

These flows are always so challenging but Im here for it !!! Charlie always has me pushing my body to bend in ways I never knew it could!!!

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you so much for being here for the challenge 🙏

[@celestialboathemian6347]

Great Class Charlie! You're a gifted teacher and the structure of your classes make these more challenging poses accessible through the stages you build and modifications you offer. Thank you for such great class content!

[@tejaswininellikanti2905]

Day 5✅ .... thank you charlie, namaste 🙏

[@katherinelee8209]

This blew me away. I got into wild thing with ease (totally unexpected) and from lying down I got into wheel (even more totally unexpected). Can’t wait to see what day 6 brings. Thank you x

[@fatxn]

18:40 this was my favorite progression. It like I unlocked a new chapter 🎉

[@kimeichner344]

These progressions and your intricate teaching were just magnificent. When I was able to turn my hand back after wheel and twist out of it - for the first time in 4 years - I shouted "I DID IT!" Thank you for taking us through this practice.

[@AnnaSophie-ss6vz]

You’re becoming my new favourite yoga teacher here on KZbin! What a wonderful & challenging flow!

[@bcimterriblewtitles]

Really enjoyed day 5! ❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Im so glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@alejandrodiaz86]

Thanks!

[@Unfiltered_natures]

Thank you ma'am 😊 , I do all wheel pose positions.

[@rebeccaa8962]

Great video! I am learning a lot. Thank you

[@MomTheEbayer101]

The first wheel I was able to do that successfully. The challenge came once I heard "progression" for the second set of wheels. I yelled so loud at my screen begging Charlie to stop! LOL... Charlie all-in-all I appreciate you! Thank you! LOL

[@anasofialozano7914]

Great progressions towards the final peak pose! You really opened my body to achieve wheel pose and I made it!🎉 woohoo amazing practice. Thanks Charlie

[@SuperFinlandgirl]

Hi Charlie! Thank you so much for the lesson. I have been doing your classes every day ever since I saw you 30-day challenge back on January 1. Of course back then I failed to come into a full wheel, as I hadn't been practicing yoga for a long time. But today, I DID IT, I DID IT!! I never even knew I could, so that was a pleasant surprise. It came at a prefect time too, as I started to get disappointed with myself because I wasn't seeing any results of my practice, but I now know they are there even if I don't see them immediately. Thank you so much for the emotions I have experienced today. You are awesome 💙💙💙

[@小野陽子-r2f]

I do the day class after doing the previous day. I can feel a llttle bit progression than the day before. Thank you for the class!

[@ELENAF-l4r]

Grazie.

[@ZenWithDebby]

Thank you so much for today’s class, dear Charlie 🙏🏼. The Wheel pose + progressions were most definitely challenging on my spine, but the build up and cool down was super nice! I always love a good Wild Thing (my favourite pose ever!) 😍, but flipping it into Wheel will take some more backbend practice 😅.

[@Lyubasoft]

Thank you, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for practicing with me 🙏

[@hellekarlstad4293]

Wow….challenging for sure 😅 I need another yoga mat. One that is less “sticky”.. Can’t turn my hands around in wild thing 😂 Managed wheel from the bridge position so I’m very pleased regardless 👍😄 Thanks so much sweet Charlie and have a beautiful evening ❤️

[@andreabrantley8126]

I was here to comment exactly the same thing! I have a cork mat because with other mats I slide trying to hold poses. So today my mat worked against me😅

[@sebouhakharjalian6707]

In general this was a great class. I personally found it bit challenging to cope with the wheel posture, but I think additional few more practices will do the trick. Thank you so much for the day 5 Session, Charlie. I will be sending you a clip tomorrow about this Class. Kind regards. Nemaste 🙏❤️

[@DamianDrake]

Great class again, even if it was quite easy for me as I’ve been doing wheels since I was a child and thru to my old age! I did find that I needed to go straight to the version up from supine - my usual rise up - because my wrists are as weak as they’ve always been, and I don’t want to risk injury at my age by turning my wrists as they hold my body weight. A tip for counterbalancing sore wrists after wheel is to make fists, fingers pointing down, and push your thighs away like that, (instead of a flat palm with the fingers pointing up). I feel relief in my wrists that way, as well as my lower back. The backdrop and bird calls were a lovely accompaniment again. Thanks Charlie😊

[@emilielecomte974]

fantastic class ! Thank you so much Charlie ! ❤🧡💛🙏

[@7000Valentina]

Another amazing session, thank you so much, dear Charlie. I agree with some comments, this class is more challenging due to more stamina required, but that is the beauty in it. Wish you a lot of love and kindness, thank you again for your generosity😍🥰

[@noaliefmans6618]

What an amazing practise this was! The first time I have been able to do the wheel in 16 years and the buildup and guidance made it feel easy😍. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to follow the rest of the challenge

[@susansimpson9463]

What an amazing pratice!!! Wild thing is one of my faves! Wheel, not so much 😂 even though I was a gymnist in my younger days and did a million back bends! Thank you Charlie!🤩

[@mike1980]

Charlie is the goat. (Greatest Of All Time) I have been suspecting this for a while. But this class seals it. That wheel and the variations will take me some time to build up to. It is so inspiring to see a path to greater strength and flexibility.

[@salametteg6342]

I made it from bridge pose 🥳🥳 so proud of myself. I used to avoid these kind of poses because i thought i was not able to. Thank tou !! See you tomorrow

[@ToriLedger]

Utterly enjoyable class. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@lizzyrush4205]

This was so great! super fun and challenging and you definitely are a gifted teacher

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for such wonderful feedback I really appreciate it ☺️

[@begumtureyengil3195]

Thank you Charlie, I can't find any other word. Best wishes ❤

[@gemmawingfield5606]

I loved this sequence. I did this in the morning, and I feel really awake now ! Thank you 🎉❤

[@stephjouppien]

Thank you for these progressions, Charlie. You always leave me with homework and I love it. ❤

[@CharlieFollows]

I love that you take something away from these classes. Thank you for joining me 🙏

[@oaschbeidl]

Attempting the challenge for the second time, first time life got in the way after day 9 or 10. The first couple sessions all felt a bit more doable this time around and today, I unlocked a tiny little bit more range of motion in the shoulders and got deeper into my wheel than ever before! Thanks for the wonderfully challenging guidance!

[@aurilanise]

Thank you!!! I’ve never transitioned to wheel before, so I noticed it was a bit challenging the first time, and then with my second side, I was able to figure it out!!! 💕✨

[@fridayfaye]

Always appreciate practicing with you ~ Dig the new outro music

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you it felt inspired by Ibiza ☺️

[@Madpissed]

Wow, that was my first time experiencing attempting to transition to wheel. I have a long way to go, thank you so much for introducing me to a new challenge!

[@amandaclark2419]

Oh Charlie, I haven't done wheel for a while. I did build up to it a while back and it was good to do it again. Thanks for sharing this beautiful and challenging class.

[@EkaMOME]

I did yoga like 20 years ago... doing this challenge now to get back... and this session is the one that showed me my body has really changed and needed to come back.. am at the beginning of the wheel pose.. so happy I found this channel, with this method and style... is really helping me. Thanks so much and much inspiration and strength to who are doing the challenge!!!

[@Marmar8898]

Practicing yoga with you has been a delightful experience, and I've noticed significant improvements in my body daily. I'm curious to know how I can continue to progress and advance in my practice.❤️

[@gphanisrinivasful]

This was an amazing class. Although I've been practicing wheel for a while, I'd have never thought single leg wheel would be this challenging. Thank you Charlie for guiding us through this! ❤

[@elizabethslade1193]

Thank you! 😊

[@ashtibule9499]

Thank you for making this video! Very challenging wheel pose indeed!

[@rita4998]

Wow you’re magic, Charlie! I was able to do a single leg wheel pose and go into a wheel from the reverse table top! Had tried many times before but never could. And now with your guidance it’s like my body understood it and I repeated them again after the video just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke 😂 thank you!!

[@divinitiwithin]

Hi Charlie! Im loving your 30 day improvers challenge ❤ I feel like I've been stagnant at beginners level for so long it's lovely advancing and your technique n direction are awesome 👌 thank you :)

[@lllthink]

Thank you 😊 It's nice the slow pace of this challenge as I never do back bends so I could modify to protect my back from previous injury 😊

[@Mr_Fbro]

Yes, definitely a challenge but an enjoyable one, thank you.

[@ReemaThakur-z6u]

Thank you. The Peacock cry takes me right back home.

[@stefaniestege1340]

Thank you so much for challenging me.😊 My recipe is: "Don't think of it, just do it." And it works🙏 I am enjoying your classes so much and I am discovering myself new each time. Keep it up👍 Take care, Steffi

[@ericgoodman1614]

Great way to start the day-thank you!

[@stefaniegarber4838]

What a beautiful spot for doing yoga❤

[@CharlieFollows]

Thank you for practicing with me 🙏

[@josephine7624]

Thank you so much for this program! So far, every day allowed me to reach a pose I couldn't do before! I love the way you build the poses progressively

[@kathyswearingen1509]

Well beyond my ability- at this time! But I am following each day and do what I can. Also want to add thank you it is obvious how much thought and preparation went into these sessions. X

[@butterflylake11788]

That was fun, but boy was the final progression challenging today after so much work on my wrists! Thank you for this gift, Charlie :)

[@butterflylake11788]

Did this one again and felt so much stronger. Thanks, Charlie :)

[@being_pb]

Loved today's practice. I have a way to go but enjoyed, and better understood how to get there! I'm really enjoying learning how to build up to a full pose without beating myself up that I can't do it. I'm actually allowing myself to learn and enjoy it. Thank you 😊

[@anjitapper2393]

Perfect, enjoyed all the progressions, can’t do wheel( oesteo in spine) but my version was fine for me, thank you Charlie, what an amazing teacher you are ❤

[@reyhanemahfouzi2054]

Thank you so much Charlie this is my first yoga challenge and lm so excited for each day, day 5 was so good l feel stronger with this weel pose God bless you for all your kindness ❤️❤️❤️

[@Zeldamom4]

You’re such a gifted teacher! Thank you for another challenging, yet very satisfying flow. 4 years ago I was suffering from 2 bulging lumbar discs and didn’t think I could manage wheel ever again. I was so happy that I did wheel on my head as well as on my arms-though only for a little bit. I can definitely feel my arms getting stronger these 5 days in the challenge. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[@maryatsidakos2543]

Thank you for another wonderful practice 🙏😍🌼

[@jenniferinnis9648]

Great progressions to wheel. I still can only get to my head on the floor. Pushing up that final bit is something I can’t do . . . yet 😊 Really enjoying this 30 improver challenge. Thank you, Charlie 🙏💚

[@majorbkhosla]

Too good chaerlie ❤your cues are so descriptive that one can follow without watching screen ..amazing guru you are ..regards MAJOR B K

[@joannebrown6952]

Thank you for a wonderful class🥰I am learning so much from you and have been able to access poses I’ve not been comfortable with thanks to your amazing teaching. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the challenge brings. Thank you! 🙏💞

[@АннаЛиванова-ч8э]

I'm delighted with the class! It was really challenge for me but this was great!

[@FernandaGutz22]

DAY- DIA 5!! 💪✨️🇲🇽🐆😅🤍 I made it! Super challenging but amazing!! Looking forward to progress! Thank you Charlie, GRACIAS, love u!

[@zeem.5085]

I asked about the wheel pose from you and you made a short video of it but this progression is great!! Have not fully yet but getting there. Thank you. ❤

[@seralkimista]

THANKS! Hard but enjoy it! Day 5 ✅✨🧘

[@Marcelo4Lcx]

Thank you for this amazing session!!❤

[@lailaamrabdelghany]

Really enjoying the ways you bring us into these postures. I have practiced both the supported headstand and wheel pose but these are new and challenging transitions :) Thank you

[@elizabethlloyd3013]

20:39 I would just like to say that it had been almost 20 years since the last time I did a bridge or back bend. Last year I I got it. And I thought my forehead and jugular veins were gonna explode from being so excited while upside down. lol. And IT ISNT LOST ON ME HOW MUCH YOUR INTENTIONAL GENTLE TOUGH “oh I can do this” TEACHING HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MY BRIDGE. I didn’t really know how it was going to end in bridge but I got there and o still do and I’m ecstatic

[@antoninahudson5118]

@CharlieFollows you are amazing ! You are a professional !

[@ZodwaMadi]

This was sooo good! Thank you Charlie❤

[@happinessinharmony]

Tough for me today but enjoying the challenge. Thank you Charlie ❤

[@Methodician]

Having felt strong and youthful in day 4, proclaiming I have yet to reach my physical peek at near 40, I threw my back out gardening and was reminded that age comes in many forms. I think I herniated a disk in my lumbar region so this session’s title scared me a bit. I’m happy that after only a day of rest I felt comfortable with this exercise with only minor modifications and it probably helped my recovery along. I don’t think I’d be recovering that fast if I hadn’t been practicing yoga with Charlie so much lately!

[@Balthasarde]

Day 5 : ✅ Amazing progression during the class, thanks Charlie !

[@thomasthomas8049]

Thanks for the lesson, miss Charlie!

[@valeriacomandini3571]

Hello! With these classes im challenging my body and my english...thank you so much! Saluti dall'Italia ❤

[@minweilee3446]

This was a fantastic class, surprised to move from reverse tabletop to wheel before shifting into it from a supine position. Thought the former would be more challenging so am eager to read about others’ experiences.

[@helenhilderbrandt6508]

Always challenging, always inspiring… always setting new goals. Thanks so much.

[@dashaannina8194]

It was my favourite practice so far, though they are all amazing! I only appeared to encounter, that my wrists are rather the bottleneck for the wheel rather than the back. The back was very well warmed up thanks to all the asanas for preparation, but I felt high tension and pressure on my wrists. It would be great to progress through some practice for wrists specifically, to prepare them for the wheel in some of the next videos.

[@jpsingh-eo5dt]

Sweating after a long gap!! Thanks.
