How I stay consistent when I have no time

[@dogdonut3]

"Doing what I can when I can" great reminder, not just to use for a yoga practice. Thank you❤

[@Lorrissyoutube]

Agreed, and it's worth remembering that doing a little is better than doing nothing

[@FromtheLBC]

Even 5 mins in the morning have been life changing

[@KamtuKam]

Exactly. And same for me. It make a difference and puts me in a better mood 😊

[@theresaellison3662]

I started 6 years ago, with 10 minutes in the morning, I was so out of balance, I’m 61 and now I can stand in my head, and working on my hand stand, I will conquer it!!! ❤

[@mightyginza3182]

Great Sister...we'll emulate your good example ❤

[@wildphoenix7861]

👏🏽

[@armaniwilliams72]

That's so inspiring. Thank you!

[@mammamia9334]

Bravo!👏🏻 You can do everything!

[@costaldevomito]

I once saw a study that said 12 minutes of yoga a day is enough for benefits. That's how i started my practice. Only committed to 12 minutes, even if the video isn't over.

[@feals6658]

I did the same this April and May, 10 minutes every morning for 2 months and I really saw a difference. At the end of May I was able to do a regular Chaturanga and my soles were closer to the ground in downward dog, and it was great to feel the progress.

[@tarynnunez6833]

This!!! I get in 5 to 45 minutes of yoga every morning before work. It is transformative: I got up late a few times, and couldn’t get in my yoga until noon. This disruption threw off my entire day!!! Nooo thank you, I get my butt up and take care of myself.

[@yegra]

Your muscle definition >>>> Thank you for being an inspiration, ma'am 😊

[@zeerose8205]

Right!!?? Her chest is so strong!! Like when she did upward dog I was like daaaamn, now I want to work on my upward dog every day!! 😂❤

[@jamiemorris3526]

Your twenty-minute videos help me stay consistent! Thank you!

[@themontu7066]

And sometimes it looks different when you have injuries, too. Just sprained my ankle and can’t put weight on it for a while, so chair yoga it is!

[@lurdesdeo9462]

Charlie has done a few really good ‘yoga without feet’ videos! I found them when I sprained my toe; they’re also great for ankle injuries/ issues. Worth checking out if you get bored with chair yoga. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Namaste. 🙏

[@PaulineWhiteley-Lang-yd3xw]

​@@lurdesdeo9462 I used these when I ruptured a ligament in my ankle. Was really good to keep moving. In fact it was how I found Charlie's channel

[@leonstenutz6003]

Whether struggling for time -- or just plain struggling -- even a few minutes and a few poses or sequences become even more important. Thank you Charlie. Greetings from Bolivia.

[@ghostinameatsuit4654]

Life is rarely convenient. Just do what you can, listen to your body, and prioritize yourself as often as you prioritize others🌿

[@lwalters1951]

Yes, sun salutations really get you into your practice! Thanks for being so real. ❤

[@madalynmoth4263]

Thank you for sharing this. ❤️ I’m not struggling for time, but I have chronic fatigue and 15 minutes is all that I can do on a good day.

[@StephaniRoberts]

So helpful and encouraging. I miss my yoga practice. No gym for 4+ months caring for a loved one at home but this inspires me to figure out a practice that works in my space. Thank you!! 💛

[@DjMiflyn]

I couldn’t have made it to a year of daily yoga without your 15 min videos. Thank you ❤

[@kat4thewin]

Thanks for these tips. I forget that I don't always need to follow a video. My busiest days have me on the mat right before bed, so I do less active poses.

[@alex_a3000]

You're so beautiful when you're focused. That's awesome. Thanks for your commitment

[@patricia753]

I so appreciate your teaching and videos! I'm a 63y female, and I do your videos almost every morning. 😊

[@FlowWithRobin]

Your 20min video’s taught me this. Especially your full body ones! Thank you! When I’m short on time I’ll do small warm up, 5 Sun salutations A and 5 B, then small cool down 🧘🏻💗🙏🏼

[@fauvecorrigan1233]

You're amazing Charlie. Thank you for sharing with us and helping us along the way.

[@tavrel4628]

I used to beat myself up for not feeling like having a 60 min class daily as if it would make me less of a yogi. It requires lots of mindwork to release pressure and use the "doing what I can when I can" rule but i'm getting there

[@Sbannmarie]

I will say I'm stunned when I watch yoga because reminding I used to be yoga teacher although I haven’t been practicing for years. I'm now an ocean 🌊 swimmer that's my jam :-)

[@julesmink]

This is such a great reminder. Thank you :)

[@bxrosie04]

Does anyone else also struggle with not judging oneself for “only doing 5/10/15 minutes?” I’m mostly good at not, but sometimes that inner critic creeps in and lies to your face, you know? The mental component of keeping consistent can be such a challenge at times! 😅

[@hectorr.corrales221]

❤You are dynamite please keep making videos I am 80 now and not strong but watching you motivates me because my days are always filled with things I must do I struggle with just getting started and consistency is hard for me but I love watching your smooth and body strength 😁👍

[@elizabethlloyd3013]

I love this. Hey my hop step jump to fwd fold jump which eventually be to a tuck handstand …. Is finally me with my hips up over!!! My HANDS have gotten strong enough to hold me. I’ve done tented fingers for 10 min. Or my 1 1/2 hur days Charlie said this before and I took it to heart and instead of cutting something else short. I’m ok with just warming up with a couple rounds of sun salutations to be warm for my day!

[@lornasarkar5378]

Sometime the universe works in very unique ways. I needed to see this video to remind me of the consistency of giving myself a break in a form of yoga.❤thx

[@alyssahayes268]

These are the poses we do at the end of every rugby practice! Very refreshing.

[@choyerkimura]

This was so helpful for me to hear. Thank you!

[@pagerumer3533]

Just beautiful, thank you for sharing!❤

[@RachelForest-h3l]

Thank you Charlie. Actually only had 10 minutes this morning and did the Sun salutations that you taught us in the past. Thank you for the reminder of consistency even if short practices.

[@rvrgrrl]

I find your presence so encouraging. Consistency is my greatest challenge.

[@Martyna-ye2mm]

Thank you, I need to shorten my yoga practice now, because I'm starting school and it's very important for me to stay consistent in my practice 🙏❤

[@lisathurlow3178]

I'm so lost of my practice and I seem to be urged to only be in a class sitting. You're absolutely right wonderful thank you

[@AlCat0027]

I normally just do 10-15 min of yoga a day so that I can always stay consistent. When I have bite-sized goals, they feel doable and I keep up. I’ve been doing this since Aug 1st of 2023.

[@4862cjc]

Great video on a good topic! What beautiful muscles you have in your upper back! 😊

[@lisak5804]

I became consistent by doing 10 minutes practices every morning. On the mornings I think I do r have time...I find a 5 minute one and it still feels great to do!

[@raspyni]

You have been in our life daily for a year. Thank you for all you do.

[@redwarrior2424]

If you want a 5-minute end-of-day winddown, try a really focused shavasana, possibly the most important posture in yoga.

[@rebexy86]

It’s amazing how big of an impact doing a small amount of yoga each day can have!

[@haripriya432]

Wow! Your form is so good and strong. I aspire to be like this

[@nalimiendeern]

I'm on day 630 of consistency. Sometimes that has meant 10 minutes was all that was possible. It's meant yoga on the bed in the dark in a 6 bed dorm in a backpacker. It's meant yoga on planes, trains and on a piece of cardboard in a car park. It's meant yoga at 3am after a night out. No matter what, when, or where it was - It's always been valuable. Thanks for being an inspiration Charlie!

[@wildphoenix7861]

Thank you for the reminder 🙏

[@sunitadsouza7135]

Yoga, Pranayam & Meditation is an ancient exercise of India it would be worth learning the Sanskrit words to describe each pose to reap the authentic benefits of this ancient excercise....

[@DeeDivine8]

I like the soft yellow color of the walls!

[@bramlilipory4116]

Thank for your advice on consistency

[@italiaazrag]

your moves seem so powerful ❤

[@MsJunnila]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 you are very Good 👍❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🌺

[@MoveWithJeri]

Consistency looks different for everyone 👏👏👏 I like to have a really easy one minute version of my goal that I can do on hard days. For yoga that looks like three cat cow movements. This way I can get some benefit from my tiny practice and still build a consistent practice. 😅

[@zoechang7528]

Thank you for sharing this it means a lot

[@sonarharin3906]

Sometimes “staying consistent” is my 1-minute timer 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[@DmitriKoslov1]

Really appreciate you posting this!

[@arlownoelTV]

Yes! I've just started and just trying moves that feel good and skipping bringing out the mat is so so good for me

[@shanamonisingha25]

Thats surya namaskaram she is doing something you need to do when you start your yoga….meaning of this asana is showing gratitude 🙏🏻

[@hectorgarcia8691]

Thank you Charlie 😊

[@wiseriverhealing]

This is a beautiful reminder!

[@MiNNieefy]

Can you do a longer version of this so I can follow along? :')

[@CharlieFollows]

Yes I recorded a class like this and will share it soon

[@ReginaLynnavatar]

I LOVE You SO Much , Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏🏻❤️

[@rayisko9356]

Totally agree! Consistency is really great! Love Your Yoga mat,where can one purchase one of those mats?

[@blissfulenergy5092]

Although practicing yoga poses is good for your physical and mental state. Yoga is not the poses, practicing yoga for me is tuning into the breath during traffic, honoring how I feel today and meditation.

[@AnnikaDacke]

Yes. I stay consistent by saying ”5 minutes is also a practice”.

[@RutgerBodyEquity]

It's all about the breath indeed ❤

[@zynababdelhameed4157]

This is so helpful ❤thank you

[@jfoetidnwo56]

your back and shoulders are siiiick ❤

[@sineadosullivan3851]

Thank you. So helpful to view side view poses ❤

Thanks to you I tuned in and got to bed right after

[@sophieszabo1771]

You just got a new subscriber lady 😊

[@meredithgood4203]

I love this! Been literally needing a quick yoga wake up

[@Ron-uj5vs]

Can't tell if she's saying 15 or 50. 50 sounds like a lot for a light day!

[@mariateresacordoba3559]

Nice exercises. I’m Going to try! I love your mat. Where can I buy it, please? Thank you!

[@ChiefPeck]

❤it charlie! Great advice 💯 ⏰ Chief🎉

Keep smiling please... thanks

Loved this! Where is your mat from?

[@ataveras5123]

Great reminder thank you for sharing this.

[@lightntangy9128]

Really good seeing your practice from a different angle. I only ever do yoga with online instructors and sometimes I wonder if my foot alignment is right in certain poses.

[@VivRocks_Yoga]

Really good one Mam 👍👍🤝🤝

Thank you! 😊

[@leannedearaujo8183]

Love this. Thanks for sharing. Also where do you get your clothes from. Love them!

[@katharinawolf2923]

I don’t like sun solitations at all. For me it’s too boring doing the same motions several times and I need other stuff. When I do what I can I start in the bed on my back. Just a few side stretches, than come up to sit, rotate and bend to the sides… then the sitting cat cow or camel. Or the needle is super for me in the mornings

[@OPAnaya]

Thank you!

[@greenmanatee6462]

When you were in the plank position it looked like you are on the absolute tips of your toes, like in ballet, en point. Anyway, it looks impressive

[@devonfox444]

Thank you:)

[@AllGoodThanks]

15-20 min IS my regular practice, lol.

[@rohanwilkinson1021]

It is important to avoid doing Isometric holds for more than 30 seconds as they can cause repetitive strain injuries while shortening your muscles, that said if you can add slow stretching movement to Yoga poses you could hopefully keep your muscles elongated or long and healthy while avoiding repetitive strain injuries.

[@annebennett4101]

Do you follow charlie follows? She practices vinyasa, so there's not much isometric holding, but without following her, you can tell just by watching this video that her practice doesn't focus on holding poses. Sorry. Not trying to pick a fight..just not sure what the point of your comment was I guess

[@rohanwilkinson1021]

@@annebennett4101 please don't be alarmed I was unaware of what she was practicing and was addressing a health concern as most old Yoga moves including the old body building Isometric exercises do involve timed holds that can cause repetitive strain injury.

[@toliver1468]

Love those pants! Where could I find them?

[@treenut6]

You are so awesome❤

[@דפנהכץ]

[@ltorromcc]

Love this!! Do you have any short yoga videos between five to 10 minutes?
