I can sit crosslegged for ages with a block; when I started doing yoga I couldn't manage it at all without a block & getting hold of one transformed the experience for me. I can actually sit crosslegged without a block for a bit now but it's much more comfortable with.

I'd got a little better from there but the block this morning was a game changer.

Finding the concept of jumping to the top of the mat just impossible to get my head around. Also, need to find a sensible space to do it now I'm home.

MsG 31 Jan 6:38pm, 31 Jan 2025 2,759 posts	Quote Pin MsG If anyone would like to try the Down Dog app I have a link for 90 days free, so please fmail me. DocM originally recommended it to me back in 2020 and used it since then. It has loads of different types of yoga practices that it generates a custom practice for you (difficulty, duration, focus, speed of moving between poses, hold duration). You can also indicate poses to exclude (cartwheel!) or positively include. It is a person with voice over, subtitles available and choice of sound track (or none). I've found it easier to follow than a chatty person.
