I am the person who reads the comments and thinks, "Since everyone else liked the practice, those that didn't were just having a bad day/moment and it'll get better." I tried to be positive in today's practice. I couldn't. It felt like PT boot camp instead of speaking to my soul, and I just couldn't get past the movements to see the purpose. I am annoyed that I feel that way. Maybe on another day in another time I will like it. Today, though, I was not a fan. It was tough, but I like tough. I've been doing YWA daily since April 2020, and I normally love the tough, sweaty ones. This one didn't do it for me. I so wish I felt differently. 😞💔

While some days of this years 30 day challenge have been quite lovely, overall I agree with another commenter that this is my least favourite 30 day so far. Workouts and vinyasas aren't why I come to my yoga practice. I come to yoga to tend to my complex PTSD and deal with the damage that has been done to my mind and body. If I want a workout I go x-country skiing or hiking which I enjoy far more. Some of this month's 'workout' yoga videos have had a lovely pace which didn't trigger my PTSD though. Anyways, I'm not ashamed to say I skipped this day and day 8. Good work Adriene, and I'm sure this month has been great for those who enjoy these yoga sessions. 😁

I am in my 70th year and have been doing yoga since the mid ‘70’s (or late 1900’s, if you will). I have struggled with lower back pain for many years, and have to consistently remind myself to recruit my ab and glute muscles for relief. My most consistent exercise is yoga, although i also do modified cross-fit, weight training and low impact aeobics. All these modalities promote core awareness. I would have to say that the “core” of yoga is using your core muscles, no matter what the routine. I am proud to say that I was able to complete this routine today. P.S. I love classic yoga, too.

Todays workout reminded me of a 90’s feel the burn video. The only things missing were the leotard, tights, and leg warmers! In fact I thing this whole 30 days would be more appropriately call 30 day abs. Nothing inherently wrong with ab workouts, but please don’t call them yoga. At least 50% of this series has not been classic yoga. Hoping people who are new to yoga don’t have the impression that this is what to expect from a typical yoga class. Pilates or HIIT perhaps, but not traditional yoga.

I‘m sorry this journey isn‘t it for you. For me, my anxiety hasn‘t been this quiet in 2 years, it is exactly what I needed. But honestly, Adriene is not our therapist, and if this worsens how you feel, then why pull through? This is about finding what feels good, not what‘s making you miserable. I‘m sure Adriene did not intend to have that effect, but she‘s also not responsible for our mental issues.

<p>I think it a shame that there are lots of negative comments shown below. I thought it was a tough fast paced practice but it contained nothing that Adriene has not shown us before. I'm 71 and was fine doing the whole practice. I last did it when Move first came out as a series but don't remember what I thought about it then. I have had a new hip in the meantime.</p>

Well, that was a hot mess of humble, but I got to the end. :)

Unfortunately too tired to give this a good attempt, its fruday afternoon and im exhausted. I turned up and did the softer bits and lunges mixed in a couple of child poses. But hey I turned up. Hope tomorrow is a snuggle practice - i need one of those.
