Just O Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hi, So it's a little more complex than that. Right at the beginning of my last challenge, I messed up the muscles in my core. They're still debating whether it was massive inflammation or an actual tear. Needless to say it's still giving me grief. For now, I'm gonna be sticking with the physio exercises that they're giving me for a slow and steady rehab. But eventually I'm going to want to progress onto some gentle yoga, building my way up. Does anyone have any good recommendations for where to start? I'm essentially looking for youtube videos specifically, as I'm dirt poor and can't afford to pay for too much, and there are no classes in my area. Thanks so much for any advice you have, it's greatly appreciated! Quote "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." ~Alice Link to comment
Morag Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 "Yoga with Adriene", YouTube channel of the same name, teaching a Find What Feels Good attitude in her yoga practice, kindness and self-awareness. I don't know how you are with yourself, but I sure benefit from her style of teaching... --- "Travel lightly, for what you bring with you becomes part of your landscape." -Anne Bishop 3 Quote Katrin the Morag Lvl 22 Cadet, half klingon, c-licensed trainer, mother of two, gaming nerd Current Challenge Road map to Level 50 Link to comment
Just O Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ooooh I've seen some of her stuff, recognise her instantly. But I didn't know her name so I couldn't find her by googling "Pretty lady does yoga" Thankyou very much! 2 Quote "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." ~Alice Link to comment
Sahaja Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Lilias Yoga is a good start as well, her show ran for decades. YouTube has a bunch of episodes Quote Easeful, Peaceful, Useful...

ManchurianBee Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've been meaning to start doing yoga daily. I remember seeing the Yoga with Adriene channel. I think she has like 30 day challenges too which would be perfect for the 4 week challenges. 1 Quote Link to comment
Parsnip Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 So its been a week since my post, I've been having a great time with the doyogawithme website!

Alfaso Taylor Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 In beginning it is little bit difficult. But you can try some simple Yoga postures like Shavasana (Corpse Pose) that is the easiest pose and you can also try Tadasana (Mountain Pose). I hope you can try both. Quote Link to comment
