Thank you for not only considering my out of shape arse when you made this video, but also my perfectionist personality. Now that I've finally tried it and had an experience if my own, I understand what all the hype is about.
Until this week and my "experience", I laughed at yoga. After researching reasons for my aches and pains (horrible posture and baby wearing), I searched for solutions and I was not disappointed to find not only yoga, but “yoga with Adriene.” Your candor is refreshing and I am looking forward to delving deeper Into yoga. I strained my already weak back and I’ve had a tension headache and limited movement for over a month. I’m a 28 year old mother of four, ages 7-8 months. We did try other online teachers but you were the one that we clicked with straight away. My wife struggles to practice every day due to shift patterns but is training when she can.įour weeks after starting, at age 54, I am stronger and more positive than I have been for a long time and a long standing shoulder problem, helped only moderately by physiotherapy, has all but healed! And my flexibility, from years of Karate and Kung Fu is starting to come back along with some muscle definition, which I feared had gone for good!?
On days off I will spend longer and maybe have two sessions throughout the day. I currently get up at 6am on workdays to do my yoga practice, along with some Tai Chi. My wife and I did this for 7 days and then started to expand with some of your other routines.
I used this video to start doing some exercise again after stopping martial arts training, which I had done for over 30 years, I had over 12 months break and so this routine was ideal to reintroduce myself to some training and self-discipline. As Sri K.Pattabhi Jois affirms, “Practice and all is coming.” Pay attention and for heavens sakes, smile and have fun. Try this once for 7 days and let me know how you feel. So here is a little video for the complete, brand new and total beginner - to help you feel comfortable on the mat and to give you a little taste of what Yoga Asana (the physical practice of yoga) is all about. It is not about becoming someone you are not- but rather, getting back to the true awesome you. Yoga is not about what you do but how you do it. The beauty of Yoga practice is it serves up what you intend, it always manages to fulfill and assist in incredible transformation. In fact, the time is now- and you have already begun. We create so many obstacles and excuses for ourselves as to why we cannot quite yet begin when in actuality with a slight shift we can use those same excuses and that same energy to tell ourselves why we simply cannot skip out or wait any longer. But the hardest part can simply be to begin. We humans crave practice, ritual and routine. Sometimes the hardest step is just at the starting line.
