Yoga For Beginners At Home 30 Day Challenge (Day 9) 20 min

[@chicamathis923]

I'm having so much trouble with some of the poses do you do a flaxablet class because I am not very flaxable I'm a big girl and my tummy gets in the way please help

[@Fightmasteryoga]

Hello Chica, don't worry about being flexible, your flexibility will increase as you continue to practice. Keep your feet and legs hips distance apart to make room for your tummy. Do the best that you can. The important thing is to keep practicing. If the classes get too difficult for you, go back to the beginning and start from there. There's no need to complete the course in 30 days. Take your time and do what you can. Moving and breathing is the important thing...do what you can and remember to thank yourself for taking your practice! xoxo

[@Goblin_Mom]

Nine days in, and I haven't missed a day yet. I'm liking the difficulty curve; it's still very appropriate for a beginner series, but it does also seem to be gradually getting slightly more intense. I've done weekly hour-long yoga classes before, but this is a perfect way to get back into it and make it part of my regular schedule. I definitely plan on going right into your 90-day series after this, it's already helping me sleep better and even seems to be curbing my depression. Thank you for making these available Leslie, this suits my lifestyle and schedule much better than being in a large class, and of course this also makes it much easier to make it a daily routine. p.s. I love how you're replying to all of the comments below, it really makes it clear that you're doing this because you genuinely believe in making yoga more accessible and inclusive for more people.

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Zac Spurgeon I'm so happy that you're joining our 30 days. You're correct...the classes do get gradually more intense. My hope is to help people become ready for the 90 day series. I'm stoked that you're planning to continue. I agree that many times it's much more convenient to practice yoga at home. Plus, many people around the world don't have access to yoga studios. Yes, I absolutely care about people having access to yoga classes! I'm glad to know that it comes through. :-)

[@KayWestAll4C]

Zac Spurgeon I'm on day 7 and her videos are great! I have yet to say I can't do that.. keeps it simply but gradually adds some advanced moves 👍👍👌

[@annacama8313]

I love you fightmaster yoga! I will be supporting your channel. I love your mission and how you help by providing these gifts to all of those less fortunate to not have access to any type of yoga at all. Namaste .

[@rebeccasuiter2361]

Today is the first day that I've felt like it's getting easier and I'm making progress. Thank you for making this at a TRUE beginner level!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

That's such a wonderful feeling! If it ever begins to get to be too much, I always recommend repeating the ones that are difficult. :-) Thank you very much for being here!

[@imanyleyla3886]

Resuming this playlist 4 years later! You are missed dearly and the softness in your voice

[@jgmarr75]

This beginners program is excellent. My 72 year old body is actually starting to like yoga. Who would have thought.

[@luciavega5764]

This is the first time I do yoga so many days in a row, I'm proud of myself and want to thank you for this. I hope I make it to day 30

[@sarahhill1492]

A true beginners series! I’m not a novice but am a musician with injuries. Ive been too scared to go to yoga classes as its hard to do the exercises at the basic level when everyone looks pro! I’m feeling stronger already. I could barely hold myself up on downward dog but it felt good today. Many thanks from Australia.

[@remmy4678]

Thank you for sharing. Sending out lots of love and peace. Namaste.

[@AdirondackRuby]

Loved the strap stretches today. And you're right, your legs do feel longer afterwards!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+RubyLovesRocket They do! :)

[@Michyhopey]

I did wish you’d said you need a strap first I had to pause and run round looking and start again. But loved it today :) thank you

[@annakraft1768]

9 days in! it's so good to have someone telling me WHAT to do with my body, what I should avoid, what i should look for. I've done yoga off and on for several years, but this is the first time I know for sure that i'll learn something new about how to control my body in yoga. Thank you Lesley!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Anna Kraft That's so good to hear :)

[@alexisb.3806]

I agree

[@helenusig]

greetings from Germany! wish everyone a lovely and bright day!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+helenusig Greeting Germany. A lovely and bright day to you as well :)

[@akreeger7742]

Thank you for doing these! It's nice to have exercise that I can do inside, especially since it's getting cold out. This is also helping my back and hip pain. Hope you and your husband are staying safe and healthy!

[@margotramirez3865]

There are the most faster 20 minutes in my life. I though it was a lot of time of yoga but now I love this. I really enjoy this tutorial, thanks so much

[@angeleyesworks]

Thank you, Fightmaster Angel.🙏🏾

[@missyblack1058]

Love these videos so much. Whatever comes before "beginner," I am that, and these videos are such a great introduction I can do at home.

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Missy Black I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you! :-)

[@misstomrs]

Gonna repeat this day tomorrow as it was a little fast for me. I feel like with time, I could go deeper in the stretches.

[@caitlyntierno4327]

same, it was a little too fast towards the end

[@advoK8great]

I'm a true beginner when it comes to Yoga, so as this video started I was not prepared as it mentioned using a strap. I honestly find Yoga intimidating as it is, so I paused the video, and I debated on continuing... I was frustrated, mainly with myself as I was making a decision to stop, instead of just getting the belt from my closet and continuing on. I just sat there for a moment, wondering what I was so afraid of, what was holding me back...I got the belt, put the intimidation aside, restarted the video and continued on. I'm not fond of the extra things (straps and blocks) yet... but I did it. Thank you for your videos.

[@charolevistamissbodi2464]

Thank You God 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

[@Captain.AmericaV1]

Brilliant. Feeling Betty both body and mind🤗🤗🙏🙏

[@kathleenokeeffe8927]

Im loving this challenge its kept me grounded and centred in the midst of moving interstate, 20 minutes everyday makes such a difference, being this busy I would normally probably drop all my practises but this being short and sweet its been absolutely a god send, Im committed, packing my yoga mat in my suitcase so I can continue thank you Lesley xo

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Kathleen O'Keeffe That's great! :)

[@dis4doughnuts372]

Feeling my flexibility improve already. Thanks for posting these videos!

[@clare9637]

I am loving this 30 day challenge. It's the first time in years I have been able to follow a yoga tutorial without getting pain in my knees within the first couple of days. At 64 I'm not expecting miracles, even if I have to do the 30 days on repeat I feel that's progress from not being able to manage any but I hope to progress to the 90 days. Thank you so much Lesley

[@sylwiaradomska1099]

Warm greetings from Poland! Thank you for making my day, Lesley!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Sylwia Radomska Greetings back to you all the way in Poland. It's wonderful to hear from you. :)

[@kimphan7620]

today is a bit challenging to me but I felt so great doing it. Like I have to use every muscle of mine to help I stay balance during some poses, but it felt amazing

[@BDaniPhotography]

After a physically challenging day, this session offered me some much needed relief and release.

[@chantelr9270]

Missed two days but here I am on day 9! Posting these for myself haha

[@jennifersallee7750]

took a couple days off...didn't want to..had a lot goin on..back at it..day 9 complete! I feel so much better after a session with you!! I will say that I notice my body being able to get deeper into the poses!! Super exciting!! Thanks again for your time in creating these yoga classes!!!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

I'm so glad that you're back! I know...it's always difficult to fit in a practice but it always helps! Thank you for joining us!

[@emmap5992]

Thank you so much for what you do! I did not have the discipline to do yoga at home until my friend told me about you. Day 9 and I feel way more in tune with my body. I'm sore but loving it, and inspired to stretch on my own. I am grateful for this.

[@cklucky13]

I'm following this series with 5 friends that are also working from home during these crazy times. We're all doing it at our own pace but everyone is loving the great way you are bringing us all along. Great job!

[@Smasc15]

Doing this challenge during the 2020 quarantine! Super helpful!

[@cloudgazer7512]

I discovered this during lockdown and its really getting me to think about how my body feels and posture while doing the exercises and just as I go about my day. Its great to have that moment of calm in these uncertain times. Thank you

[@lisenguene5249]

thanks a lot for your videos! what a great teacher you are, I am not flexible at all but I'm starting to feel my progress....Thanks again

[@maggiebuck9836]

Love these videos, thank you so much

[@nailingbencher9292]

Thaks for the video , feel better as stinger everyday

[@heavenlycrystalsandcandles3609]

Once again an amazing ❤🎉 thank you for the video

[@cyn6095]

Your videos are wonderful, I've tried other teachers and I always find myself coming back to your practices. I've actually decided to use one of the books from your 90 day yoga fix "The Happiness Advantage" in my Thesis presentation, it really is a great book all around. I was looking on Facebook page and it appears the last update was in November. Elmer is adorable! It would be really great if when we are sharing your links on Facebook we can tie them back to your page too! Thank you for everything you do. :)

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Cynthia Ross Thanks. I've been busy with teacher training so I haven't had time to update my social media much. Hopefully that will change in February :)

[@dornochbookshop3710]

I’m loving this course and have been telling friends how great it is and what a difference it has made to how I feel. Thank you Heather for recommending it to me. I have my own business and found it too difficult to get to a yoga class - this is perfect - thank you.😘

[@Fightmasteryoga]

I am so happy to hear this Dornoch Bookshop! Thank you so much and thank you for telling your friends too! xx

[@sylvies9786]

I think your site is amazing and your teachings... I love that it is short and effective. I take dance and at 50 my body feels it as we move forward in the season... My body was looser after only 2 days doing your challenge... thank you

[@Ania141095]

I used to do some yoga, but I stopped because of the work/studies and lack of time :( but now look at me I'm back and on day 9 already :D and I am so happy that I found your classes! thank you :)

[@sharonpritchardshepherd9279]

[@Fightmasteryoga]

You’re so sweet ❤️

[@mickbuston3236]

Feels like toughest day yet - will have to rematch a few times I think as feels like my practice is getting sloppy. Thanks for this series though - my first intro to online yoga and finding it easier in fifteen minute chunks thanI have when attending hour long classes. Thank you.

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Mick Buston It's great that you're doing this! Keep up the good work. :-)

[@MariliaMDiniz]

I had to make a two-day pause because my toddler was sick and wouldn't let me sleep much, so I didn't have the energy to wake up earlier to practice yoga. But now I'm back and feeling awesome! Thank you for this class!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Marília Diniz I'm so glad you're back and I hope your toddler is feeling better...I know how difficult and sad it is when our little ones get sick! xx

[@Devil-dn2ew]

Love from India ( Origin of Yoga ) (•‿•) No matter how deep you go into the pose, you just have to breathe and move and feel the stretch. That's it😌 Thank you

[@jeanetteseymour6859]

So enjoyable, thank you so much, Namaste

Love these videos. I know its going to help with my jiu jitsu a lot this year. Looking forward to it.

[@MrStevensonScreen]

Thankyou. Have a blessed day.

[@czeidman8908]

I'm getting so discouraged. Would you say- stick with a day's yoga until it is comfortable? or just keep moving forward?

[@Fightmasteryoga]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes, I would say stick with it or go back to the beginning and start again until you feel more comfortable. If you get board with the same practices, then start to move forward! xx

[@SuzyTurner]

Thank you Lesley!

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Suzy Turner You're so welcome! Thank you!! xx

[@wiebkegrunther2559]

[@margotramirez3865]

Amazing. I always want to do yoga but it looks very hard. So thank you for this videos😉. Hi from Peru

[@lucase.rosadomartinez4346]

Gracias withand for My Son ARRG

[@mrsviolet1967]

Thank you

[@MsPantoffelheldin]

I'm asking myself several questions. Will it get any easier? It takes me a lot of effort to keep the stretch at the beginning with the band, I also don't get my leg pulled that far or the right leg to the right. Of course I only go as far as I can, or better said it is still pleasant. However, I wonder if there will be any progress? Just like that I have with the Down Dog also the feet not completely flat on the ground.

[@vernanana1740]

Done with Day9. 💪Thanks

[@chowmarina008]

Hi Leslie. I have done every single one of your classes thus far whether or not it will be beneficial to me I did it anyway. I broke my ankle on Christmas night and up to then, I considered myself intermediate to advanced. I was in a cast for ten weeks and am now in physiotherapy to regain strength and flexibility in my ankle. I am now able to do some asanas as much as my ankle will allow me to do. However I am unable to do mulasana as its too much pressure for my ankle to bare yet. My hips are not the problem as they are open enough. Is there another pose I can do in place of mulasana just until my ankle can take the pressure again?

[@Fightmasteryoga]

So sorry to hear about your ankle. You can try doing chair pose with your feet hips with apart. Track your knees over your middle toes. Think malasana but in chair pose. I hope that helps. :)

[@mhyntea]

Hello Lesley! Will there be a yoga for Intermediate/ Advanced yogis challenge? :D

[@Faynja]

Day 9, done :)

[@Fightmasteryoga]

You’re doing great Fay ❤️

[@donnamartirano3561]

Hi I've been enjoying your yoga challenge and it's my first time .I am over 50 . I find that a lot of this Is too fast for me to properly get the positions before it changes . I do the best I can and have to stop and rewind .is this normal?

[@briansheil9763]

Good thing I have my belt handy. That helped me out a bit.

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Brian Sheil Perfect!! :-)

[@jennifersallee7750]

I happened to have a scarf laying on the couch!! Helped a lot..!

[@MrLiontony]

So nice

[@Fightmasteryoga]

+Tony Thanks :)

[@mashadmrichards]

I must say that after my favourite app went off the market, your videos became good re-start with yoga for me. But I really lack the statics in poses. The switches between poses are sometimes too dynamic for me and I don’t have much time to consider with what muscles I do it. Or also staying in some pose, just starting to feel that needed stretch, and the pose switches… just a small thing I would like to be changed, as sometimes dynamics is not that good. Not in yoga

[@nagavaraprasad18]

Do you like downward dog pose or what? @Fightmaster Yoga

[@sofiafreire3105]
