I actually found this quite challenging this morning. This was a good reminder to have a block next to my mat. I could not reach the ground without scrunching up for most of these poses. The modified gate in particular my sciatic nerve let me know I was shortening in the lower waist and hip in order to get my hand on the ground. I guess I’m feeling a bit left out that everyone seems to have loved it and seen themselves as beautiful butterflies and that was not my experience. A reminder that my journey doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.

<p>Perfect yoga practice for my birthday today. Wearing my new Yoga with Adriene singlet I got as a gift today. 💜</p>

<p>I am a turquoise and green butterfly. I'm 67 years old and this practice Mark's my two and a half years of daily Yoga with Adrienne. What a difference this has made for my life.</p>

<p>I'm a sparkly rainbow butterfly, and I'm 70 years old.  Never too old to be a butterfly! :)  This was the perfect practice for me today.</p>

Blue and deeper blue. In one of the early poses of the practice, seated with one knee in front, and one behind, when you lift the back knee are you supposed to stay rooted and with your body tall and straight? I found it very hard to even try and lift the back knee without miving my upper body, to adjust (felt rather stiff in my hips)...

Lobed this one! Was a Monarch butterfly today. 😊

<p>In honor of rainbows and Pride month I am a rainbow butterfly also!  Thanks Adriene for being there every day for me. Today marks 26 months of daily yoga practice for me. I’ve even bought a travel yoga mat to take with me so I won’t miss any days on my travels this year</p>

Just what I needed today! 75 days of yoga thisbyear and counting!

Imagination is a brush of hope.🌈
