DrMags Aug 2023 4:40pm, 27 Aug 2023 131 posts	0 DrMags Think I’ve concluded that my proficiency at yoga is not good enough to jump into these different 30-day challenges - there’s often something I’m not quite prepared for, I try too hard to follow exactly on screen and (slightly) injure myself (usually straining an odd muscle). Decided instead to pick one 20-30 min routine and repeat it each day for a week, hoping I can make better progress that way. Then pick another and repeat ... Have been doing some sessions by Charlie Follows.
Bintmcskint Aug 2023 6:34pm, 27 Aug 2023 47,260 posts	0 Bintmcskint I try to think about how my body feels rather than trying to copy what Adriene (or, indeed, any other yoga teacher does). No way can my body do the same thing as somebody who has been practicing for years and years. Also, as Fee (my Wednesday evening in person teacher) says, "Everybody's body is different" There are things that my body will never be able to do because, well, anatomy, and other things that I find easier than some other folk. I'm a demon at binds because I have the arms of an orangutan And repetition is a good idea for progress

DrMags Aug 2023 3:52pm, 28 Aug 2023 132 posts	0 DrMags Thanks guys - I feel as if I’ve been given “permission” not to have to try moves that are (currently) impossible-for-my-body ☺️
