Day 3 - Stretch | MOVE - A 30 Day Yoga Journey

[@yogawithadriene]

Day 3!!! Have you had to drop any expectations you came to the mat with thus far? If so, how is letting go serving you?

[@ct4211]

It was an amazing practice, thank you so much!! 💜

[@martinabotros4834]

Love it so far! I didn't know about you, but am a keen Body Balancer and Body Pumper but am giving your 30-day challenge a go. Was always a bit weary of yoga but your lessons are great!

[@TheBiffa94]

I smiled so much and said 'wow' doing those spine rolls! It was playful and fun! Not very strong at the side planks but hopefully I'll develop that over the coming days! Thank you so much for the practice!

[@FrootKat]

Had to accept that I have lost some strength and flexibility and even some simpler poses are kicking my butt, but I am enjoying every resistance I feel as I know that when I feel it, that’s my body overcoming it ☺️ I’m enjoying this course immensely so far!

[@narriparri]

I have had to skip yesterday due to my fitness level not being what it was before catching COVID-19 (I'm fully healed from the virus but I wasn't able to do sports in two months after it), but I was again able to show up today and enjoyed a lot.

[@williamd9205]

I enjoy these practices with Adriene because she doesn’t ask that you be perfect in your movements, only that you show up and make your best effort.

[@earthchild5633]

we should apply this rule off the matt too!!!

[@jelita_]

Yes. No pressure actually makes us more relaxed and can do better.

[@tonirakke2670]

I love what she said on day two was it’s not important how pretty it looks but how it feels in your body. That is so true. Every body is different and needs to be present in their own body

[@jocelynsloan7801]

Yesssssss

[@Joe-peace]

Amen to that!

[@hstriepe]

I am an absolute beginner who is almost 70 - underpowered, stiff, and unbalanced - my efforts are a source of laughter for my wife. This will be a great journey, but bringing in gentle alternatives to exercises will help. I do not want soreness to overpower my efforts and maintain the joy of discovery. Namaste!

[@stilianifakidaraki3724]

I applaud you for having a beginners mind at 70! That`s awesome, for real!

[@dudidas4]

Good for you! When I first started practicing yoga, someone told me "If you can make it through the first three months, you'll be doing yoga for the rest of your life." That was about 15 years ago, and I can't imagine my life without yoga now.

yesterday, "i am strong" helped me get through the practice. later in the day, i remembered that strength and told myself, "you are enough." today, "I am strong" helped me to begin the practice and stick with it. on that last plank, my mind gave up. but i remembered, "the body can do this!" i paused the video and tried again, getting right back into it. today, i whispered to myself, "you are beautiful." remember: you are doing better than you think you are.

[@sarahmclin2434]

For those of you who are struggling: There’s some great warm up videos for the wrists and shoulders. It isn’t uncommon for newbies to get really sore wrists and shoulders. How do I know? because that was me 2 years ago! I still do 2 to 5 minutes of wrist and shoulder warm ups beforehand. Yoga Tx has a great warm up video! I am dealing with a hip injury and have done research to see what to do and what avoid and how to modify. If something hurts, don’t do it. You can hurt yourself. Instead, remember the name of the pose and research it. You may just need some tips or it may not be right for you. Modify and listen to your body and breathe, that’s how you will get the most out of your practice. You can do it!

[@sarahmclin2434]

P.s. doing your workout on your fists, push up bars, blocks, or many options can help while you gain wrist strength.

I practiced today after getting my booster shot yesterday too! I'm trying to break myself of the "all or nothing" mindset I get, where I think, "If I don't do the video exactly right and with all my strength, then I've failed." With the fatigue and my arm really aching, I allowed myself to modify, to rest when I needed, and I'm recognizing that's MORE of a success than just powering through it because I "ought" to, because now I'm actually listening to my body, which is what yoga is all about.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I started doing yoga every day because I wanted to be healthy and look after my mental health. I was so proud of all the ways I was starting to take the time to take care of myself. But then I got a new job with a toxic gaslighting boss. I got injured while at that job twice, which slowed me down. And I started questioning if it was even worth it to try again after being torn and put down once more. The first two days were really hard, and I kept shaking even in "neutral" positions. But today felt strangely easy, even if I'm not where I once was. Happy to be back, making the time for myself.

"You get to decide how you move in life." This. This is why I love YWA! In a society that pressures us to move in very specific ways (ways which are often rigid and practiced on a basis of self-punishment), YWA rejects generalization and gives the individual the power to determine what feels good on a given day. We are not static, and our needs change. Movement is not a one-size-fits-all (what is, really?), and that is the beauty of being human.

This practice was amazing. I felt joyful throughout, caught myself softly smiling more than once and my body was energetic but pliable. That "bow and arrow" movement has to be one of my favorites, I love the mental image of energy moving through my body and extending beyond it, and it's also a beautiful moment to caress your body and show it the affection it deserves ❤ I tend to close my eyes during yoga practice and I believe it's because a) I trust Adriene to guide me with her voice and b) I'm confident my body will let me know when something is not going the way it should be (e.g. due to acute wrist pain I'm unable to do side planks no matter how much I warm up, so I just lean on my elbows instead!). I'm very grateful that 4 years after I started doing yoga I now have that confidence and awareness, and the tools to work with my body. Hope this was a good practice for you all, and that you have a lovely day 🌅 Namaste.

Im a yoga teacher too and I must say that Adrienne is just the very best yoga teacher Ive come across on youtube! Thank you Adrienne for sharing your wisdom!

[@catweasel591]

I'm really enjoying this commitment - 30 days with Adriene is more than just the physical shapes of yoga - it's about strength, confidence, the mind and self love and self worth. We are worth it, so well done for showing up! I don't know why but I found it really touching when Adriene said "paint the mat, pick a colour". Best wishes from England :)

[@poniesgirl1]

I just completed today's practice "live" at the premiere for the first time. How lovely to know I definitely did this practice with thousands of other yogis.

was resting for a few days after finishing the second day, was feeling down about it but also listened to my body to rest, but i could tell my body was craving this movement so bad and here i am again. really looking forward to devoting myself to this and keeping up with it, as my body truly loves and needs it!

I am on the slow but steady 30 day plan... Doing a day every three or 4 days.☺️

I had to do the same thing cause I was a bit sleep deprived when I did day 2, so I had to take a couple of days off, but yesterday I felt antsy and like I needed to move... today still killed me though. lol

“The mind wants to give up before the body,” -a powerful insight, thank you Adriene 💗

I’ll be honest, I’m bad at yoga and so out of shape I make it halfway through these. But I love your videos so much that I swear I’m going to finish this 30 day journey.

Keep at it. It'll get easier I promise ;-)

You were bad a walking when you first tried it, too. Keep trying. That's the ticket: practice.

[@biancaguerrero2193]

I love this channel. I heard about it through a friend and at first I was skeptical and cynical. But, I started doing yoga with Adriene last year and it's become one of my strongest habits. These videos are one of the most key parts of making sure I'm taking care of my mental health. Thank you for creating this space and sharing this series (and all the other videos) with us. Know that it's made a difference in at least 1 very grateful person's life.

[@ashleydawes5933]

Been doing these post-bedtime for the kids and it's been incredible at giving me not only a reset but also an opportunity to focus on something that is just for me. I do it before any chore or activity and I'm looking forward to the benefits I'll feel at the end of the month.

I love doing this but I find that I have ongoing cramps in my feet which make it difficult. Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with this or why it happens?

[@matthewh.8717]

@@romeydoyle1064 Make sure you get plenty of potassium. You can also do some stretches and massages for your feet before each practice and see if that helps. You can even get some essential oils involved in that, which can enhance the effect, but be sure to use a carrier oil like coconut oil. Keep at it and I'm confident you'll find something that helps!

I sometimes slack a bit and don't do the full poses. But when you said 'the mind wants to give up before the body', I really tried to embrace that today. And I think I did. I can safely say that I gave it my all today. Great practice, Adriene! Thanks

[@sophiebromberger3313]

These practices are so wonderful. They are definitely challenging for me, since I am very out of shape and i am shaking almost the entire time, but the length and difficulty is just right so that I wanna push through without giving up. After each practice, I feel accomplished but not destroyed. And whenever I do feel that a pose is not right for me (yet) I change it up a bit or just come into an active tabletop for a few breaths. Thank you so much Adriene!

I felt the same when I started last year.since then I did yoga 270 times in 2021. I cannot believe it! The first 30 days were SO hard for me. I’m recovering from cancer. No I can’t believe how good I feel. Strong core for first time in my life.

My favourite in the series so far! (I love any practice where I get to rock up and down the spine though, it's so fun! 😂) I'm not new to yoga but have multiple chronic illnesses so some days can be really hard and yesterday I had to sit mindfully for the second half of the practice but managed to get through the whole video today without stopping which just makes me feel as though listening to my body yesterday was 100% worth it even if I wanted to carry on. I will be physically stronger by the end of this 30 day journey but I will also be mentally and emotionally stronger as I learn to honour my own body's needs. 2022 is the year of peace and strength💪❤️

I may have come late in this journey, but Day 3 is in the books. Though I never expected this, just recently my body drew towards yoga, as if telling me "it's time." Point is, now, I'm here.
