lin50 7 Jan 6:24am, 7 Jan 2025 7,382 posts	Quote Pin lin50 @DrMags I started off with YFS by just doing the prerecorded sessions and found these good as they are shorter chunks than the live sessions. I added the live sessions after about 3 months but I now tend to wait for the replays so that I can fast forward through the bits I don’t want ( eg some of the breakout rooms).

DrMags 7 Jan 7:58pm, 7 Jan 2025 335 posts	Quote Pin DrMags Followed the replay of yesterday’s YFS Yoja Ninja Bootcamp today (relevant parts only) and was impressed. Using the accepted terminology, I “stacked my shit” and trusted in the “oh shit” moment. Getting into Crow Pose, I first leaned forward far enough that both feet felt “light” so I could raise them easily. That was a breakthrough for me, I’ve always been trying to pick up my feet when I wasn’t tipped forward enough, so just tipped back almost immediately. I also fell on my face, which is apparently a “good” sign, and I’m wearing the bruises on the backs of my upper arms as a badge of Ninja honour 😂 But I held Crow Pose, yay. Only for about 1-2 seconds, but I now know how to do it, so know I can improve from here. But not today, arms are too trembly!
Raggedy runner 8 Jan 3:12pm, 8 Jan 2025 290 posts	Quote Pin Raggedy runner I’ve barely done any yoga this year, preferring Pilates these days, but after a really shitty couple of days work, stressing and not sleeping, I walked away from the laptop to do days 4 and 5 of Prana. So glad they don’t start cross-legged like days 2 and 3 as that’s a physical impossibility for me. And while I don’t feel serene, I am calmer. After @RooA ‘s warning, thought I’d leave Day 6 for another time. Now back to work.
RooA 8 Jan 3:30pm, 8 Jan 2025 3,023 posts	Quote Pin RooA Lol. It was quite a lot. I had core DOMS the day after, but I'd also done a pilates session straight after! Day 7 was nice, although she threw in a cheeky boat pose at the end which was nice with the DOMSy core. I sometimes kneel instead of cross-legged if its going to be a while. Getting better though, but it has taken a long time of regular yoga to see the change.

Jaks 8 Jan 7:01pm, 8 Jan 2025 10,192 posts	Quote Pin Jaks I had to see a physio about a quad strain I got trying to sit cross legged. He said there’s lots of people who don’t have the right hip shape to sit cross legged and I’m one of them and so was he. I just sit on my heels now instead.
