About 6 months ago I wrote that I had found a great YouTube Channel- Yoga with Adriene.\u00a0 \u00a0I also admitted that I have tried many times in the past to get into yoga but I got frustrated and gave up.<\/p>\n
I’m happy to report that I haven’t given up yet even though progress has been slow.<\/p>\n
I’m still terrible at anything that requires standing on one leg.\u00a0 I still can’t get both heels on the ground at the same time in downward dog.\u00a0 I still can’t do a headstand.<\/p>\n
So why am I still excited about it and sticking with it?<\/p>\n
A lot of it does have to do with Adriene herself.\u00a0 She focuses on the full yoga experience- not just getting into a pose for the sake of it.\u00a0 Her tagline is “find what feels good”.\u00a0 As I mentioned before Adriene has been posting on YouTube for 10 years and still puts out new videos weekly.\u00a0 She does also have a studio in Austin Texas, so if you live there I would encourage you to check her out in person.<\/p>\n
Also, I do see and feel progress.\u00a0 I can do poses I couldn’t do 6 months ago and I am more flexible too.\u00a0 My posture is better.\u00a0 I feel stronger and my massage therapist has mentioned she can feel more muscles on me too.<\/p>\n
So yes, this experience has been great so far and I’m very optimistic for more successes.\u00a0 Hopefully in another 6 months I’ll have another update. Maybe by then I’ll be able to stand on one leg for more than 3 seconds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
