Day 8 - 2-Week Vibration & Creation New Years Challenge

Day 8 - 2-Week Vibration & Creation New Years Challenge

Welcome to Day 8 of our 2-Week Vibration & Creation New Year's Challenge!

Wednesday, January 8th

Yoga is as much about creating space as it is about movement. Space for your body, your thoughts, and your emotions. Today’s practices invite you to decompress and reflect, making room for what truly matters.

Choose from - "Daily Decompression 3: Create Space" with Jackie (25 min, all levels): Release tension and rediscover your freedom of movement, or "Gaze Inward: Full Tortoise" with Cicily (45 min, intermediate): Dive into a deep, grounding practice that invites stillness and self-awareness.

Let today’s practice help you reset and realign. Space is powerful—embrace it fully!
 

Here are today's class options:



Daily Decompression 3: Create Space with Jackie Casal Mahrou

25 min class

Level:  All Levels | Intensity: Ahhhhhh

Welcome to the third class in the Daily Decompression series, a group of classes designed to help you release tension in both your body and mind, allowing you to feel more present and at ease. In this class, you will be guided through gentle postures that incorporate all movements of the spine, as well as stretches for your chest, hips, and shoulders. This class is perfect for any time of day when you need to unwind, breathe deeply, and decompress. Enjoy!
 



Gaze Inward: Full Tortoise with Cicily Carter

50 min class

Level: Intermediate | Intensity: You'll Feel It

Find equal parts strengthening and stretch in this 50 minute class designed to open the front and backline of your body. Experience deep tissue release by first building heat then moving into a series of deep hip opening postures. This series will move you into a deep state of rest and relaxation; great to provide clarity to your morning or deep rest at night.

I performed the daily decompression with Jackie. It was the perfect way to decompress after a week of remodeling our kitchen. It was very stressful with 2 kids, working and having no kitchen. This series definitely let me feel regrounded and decompressed.

Catching up, I chose Jackie's Daily Decompression 3 class. I enjoyed it and will definitely go back to it

I had to take a break from the challenge for a couple of days due to aggravated sciatica. Daily Decompression 3: Create Space was the perfect way to ease back in! I feel accomplished having gotten through this class without pain. Thank you!

Well, I goofed last night and forgot to leave a comment. Oops!
Since I did some challenging exercises at physical therapy yesterday, I chose an online class I found that is specifically yoga for folks with knee injuries. It was a good choice. But I was so ready to go to sleep that I forgot to go to my laptop and make a comment.
Again-- I'm glad for the challenge to keep me trying my yoga.

After a busy but productive day, I did Jackie's Daily Decompression class. I wanted intensity since I didn't get exercise in earlier, but this is what I actually needed. Perfect way to calm the system.

Avatar  Melly 4 days agoReply

Jackie's class was perfect after doing Jack's leg class.

Avatar  Heavenly 4 days agoReply

I chose Cicely's class. It was fun to play with tortoise and I kind of got there :D I loved all the hip opening too.

Avatar  TJ 4 days agoReply

Another great class with Jackie! Thank you!

Avatar  Marina 5 days agoReply

I picked Jackie’s class tonight because a decompression sounded like what I needed. And it was. I feel very relaxed and ready to shut down for the night now.
Relaxing Day 8!

Avatar  Robin 5 days agoReply

11 pm MST and just finished Jackie’s decompression class. So nice after a crazy, long day.

Avatar  Macsek 5 days agoReply

Due to lack of time I only did the easier version today. Hope yoga helps me find some stability within these pile of uncertainities.

Avatar  Nathalie 5 days agoReply

DAY 8: I have been feeling better today and the pains in my left knee have started to lessen. Would have loved to pick the Gaze Inward flow with Cicily, but I finally went for the Daily Decompression flow with Jackie, as I feel I need to be patiet with my still injured knee. I have just completed the Daily Decompression class and I loved its gentle pace and Jackie's cues and explanations. Very sweet and nice flow. Thank you and namaste!

Daily decompression was just the right pace for my evening. Lovely

Avatar  Oralee 5 days agoReply

Jackie's class was nice and chill. I like the leg extended and crossed behind from table and whale's tail. Those poses don't show up very often.

I love Jackie’s classes, and this one didn’t disappoint! This was such a nice way to unwind after a long day at work today.

Avatar  Jennie 5 days agoReply

I had recently done Daily Decompression 3 so I chose to do the original Daily Decompression from several years ago. It felt so good to stretch and twist my back after sitting all day.

Jackie's class was the perfect flow I needed today

Ended my day with Jackie!

Avatar  Baynicole 5 days agoReply

I went with Cicily's Gaze Inward class. It was my first time with full tortoise pose and I was able to get into it! The class was challenging at times but manageable. It definitely got the heart rate up. Thanks!

Avatar  Jennifer 5 days agoReply

Always excited to see Jackie's classes pop up! She is a phenomenal instructor! I did her Busy Day Flow class - I was a bit short on time today. Great stretch, core work, and balancing!

Avatar  BWolfer 5 days agoReply

I felt like a challenge to day so I tried Cicely's class. It felt good to build some heat (it is 11 degrees F here, BRRRR!)

Avatar  EmmaS 5 days agoReply

Day 8 of yoga! Switched to a morning class. I like to start the day with yoga!

Avatar  linda 5 days agoReply

I have made it to day 8 of the 14 day challenge. I completed the Daily Decompression 3: Create Space" with Jackie today. These classes for all levels is perfect for someone like me who is getting back into doing yoga. Jackie is another one of my favorite instructors. She is soft spoken, which is very calming. I feel great :)

Avatar  Nikki 5 days agoReply

Jackie's class is very gentle. Love the message of creating space

Avatar  SandyC 5 days agoReply

Happy Wednesday! Day 8 or 8...Happy to see both options. I listened to my mind and body and chose Jackie's class. A wonderful class to decompress anytime of the day to reset. Jackie's queues for breath and stretch with modifications when needed really allowed me to focus on my practice with my mat. Feel zen with a smile for my day. Definitely added to my favorites and will check out her other Daily Decompression classes. After this challenge I will practice Cicily's for today. Make today a great day! Namaste...

Avatar  Simona_Yoga 5 days agoReply

I did the Daily Decompression 3 today. I love this series as I can fully relax and decompress after a busy day. One of my favorite series.

Avatar  Mimi 5 days agoReply

Daily Decompressions have been a regular in my rotation and #3 is right up there on top. Another great Jackie offering. Om shanti

Avatar  Jo 5 days agoReply

Nice practice. A bit too fast at times, but manageable. I’ll try some of her other classes.

Avatar  Elissa 5 days agoReply

I enjoyed Cicily's class today. It was my first time practicing with her. Good cues and sequences

Avatar  Linda 5 days agoReply

Thank you Jackie for the perfect stretch after a weight lifting session. I marked this as a favorite so I can retun to it after a stressful day!

Avatar  Debbie 5 days agoReply

Thanks Jackie. Very relaxing.

Avatar  zenflow731 5 days agoReply

I really enjoyed the fast pace of Cicely's class - it helped me to really focus on my body and created a nice heat.

Avatar  rcowin 5 days agoReply

First class with Cicily. Wow, what a talented young instructor! There were things that could be better (a few cues and leaving time for a full inhale or exhale to complete a transition) but overall I was very impressed. Thanks for the introduction to her classes!

Avatar  Andrea Ward 5 days agoReply

I completed Jackie’s class this morning and really appreciated the gentleness of the class. I might try to go back and do Cicily’s class later on just so I can get my heart Harare up a bit today.

Avatar  Kathy 6 days agoReply

I started my day with Jackie's Daily Decompression class. It was a good way to stretch everything out and wake up. She is such a great instructor and her voice is so calm and soothing.

Avatar  Pamela 6 days agoReply

I have been doing the 8 days. Day 8 with the tortoise was too fast. I felt like I was hyperventilating.
