I did my regular 2 hours of yoga in town on Mondays today. The biggest difference I've noticed after so many consecutive days of yoga is the lack of extremes - my legs aren't creaky and cranky in the morning, my stomach doesn't feel like it is tearing in half during upward dog, and my calves aren't screaming during my first down dog of the day. I'm hoping this daily practice turns into a habit!

I'm doing another "post-surgery knee friendly" class tonight, as I am having an exhausted, physically challenging day today. I'm gonna' do it, even though I just want to collapse. I know I'll feel better after I do. And I know that the yoga has helped my range of motion-- even though when I'm doing the yoga I'm feeling badly because there are so many things I physically can't do right now. I'm going to keep trying.

Mariah's class was great! I found another great teacher :) I didnt know I needed hip openers today but it feels so good!

Yoga for Every Body: Grounding Sequence with Mariah Betts was great to stretch out my lower body after running a little too hard yesterday! Definitely needed to stretch a few things and this flow did just the job!

Opted for Mariah's grounding practice and really enjoyed the downward dog with wider stance. Great peaceful flow. Namaste.

I tried the grounding flow today but admittedly, I was struggling with it. I was having trouble hearing and following instruction and getting into a flow state. I’m glad I tried, though!

Grounding is everything I needed today. My heart is so heavy for my neighbors in Los Angeles. Sending much love and light from the California Central Coast.

Came home tired and irritable, not ready to try something new. Went back to Jackie's Decompression class from last week. WONDERFUL. Feel better already.

Chose Mariah's class today and it was very different. I must admit I had a little trouble following it and the audio was kind of hard for me to hear but I did like the poses. I feel very stretched and it was fun to do a class that was so different from my usual.

Grounding class was interestingly, not bad. Pandemic era.

In all honesty - today was long. My anxiety has been high all day, and I needed some grace. I did not want to skip my time on my mat today, so I chose to do Jackie's Good Morning Flow 1. That series is like an old friend. Her reminders to be present were helpful today.

I did Mariah's class tonight and enjoyed the poses. I did have to look up at the screen a lot because I was confused on what I was supposed to be doing and what pose I was in. I really enjoyed the legs up the wall with the block underneath. That always feels great!

I wanted to tap into tonight’s full moon energy and found Gemma’s Moon in Cancer. Lit some candles and enjoyed a nice, grounding flow that was perfect after a busy day at tue clinic.
Back when I was teaching classes more frequently, I loved teaching a lunar flow during full moons💛

Element Yoga:Fire is a perfect way to warm up on a cold day!

I did Mariah’s class and I had to look at the screen so often because I was confused at what was going on. I’ve been a member of YDL for years now, so that was surprising because I kept getting lost. Because she was mirroring the class, her modeling was hard to follow if I was confused with her audible cues. It probably reflects how chaotic I feel inside. The sequencing and choice of poses were great, however. I was just a bit lost, therefore frustrated, for half of class.

Did Keith's shoulder, neck, and upper back class today.13/13 days!

The grounding class today was good for me because I had a hard time motivating myself to even get started.

Woke up very tired today so I chose Mariah’s class due to time. It was perfect when you are not feeling 100%. I did enjoy it and felt mellow afterwards.

I chose Mariah's class today. It was a little different but I enjoyed the stretch and grounding.

I was tired today because I had to get up earlier than usual. Therefore, I wanted an Everyday Namaste and not a You;ll Feel it. Mariah's Grounding Sequence was my choice today. It was a bit different and not really my favorite. A couple of times I had to check the screen. I also didn't have blocks with me, so that was a bummer too.

day 13 of the 14 day challenge. Wahoo! almost there. I completed the Yoga for Every Body: Grounding Sequence with Mariah Betts. I enjoyed the class. The level of difficulty and grounding was perfect as I am not feeling well. But I was able to complete this class. So, if you are not feeling 100% and still want to do your yoga practice, this is a great choice. However, I was thrown off a bit when she would say to move your left arm but she was actually moving her right. This happened frequently throughout the practice. Not sure if it was me or not. But other then that, a great class.

Happy Monday! Day 13 of 13...My mind and body said to practice balancing and stretch. So I chose Mariah's Grounding Sequence. You will need 2 blocks. It was great and definitely enjoyed this practice on my mat today. Definitely allowed me to go a little deeper with my stretch and balance. Flow is perfect so you can breath during the poses and relax. Also during Warrior 2, I've used her queue of having palms up which really brought down my shoulders from my neck which resulted in a deeper stretch. Going forward during my practice of Warrior 2 I will do this. Definitely added this to my favorites to practice again. Also, I added today's other option to practice after this challenge. Definitely added this to my favorites to practice again. Namaste...

My first time taking Denelle’s class and it was quite challenging but feels energized afterwards. I still can’t do the side crow but will try again and again in my future practice. I will try the other Elements yoga as well. Thank you!

I chose Denelle's class today. I was feeling kind of sluggish and reluctant to exercise, but i feel much better afterwards. The class was not too challenging but included options to uplevel with handstands and crow variations.

Element Yoga - Fire was FIRE! 🔥 Loved it. I'm feeling stretched and worked and energized.

Denelle's class is definitely fire!

Day 13. Did grounding sequence. Little tricky transitions but overall good. One more day in challlenge! Only missed one day! (I think) was traveling and with family.

Today, I did Mariah's class. I enjoyed the use of the blocks. It was a really nice class.

Took Denelle's class today and it was fun!

I completed Mariah’s class this morning and loved it. She put together some innovative sequences which helped to ground me for a difficult day.

I did Mariah's class... Great grounding and good stretching. I really appreciate and enjoy trying new teachers. Great yoga challenge! Om shanti

Day 13 thank you Mariah Betts for a great practice. Loved it

My first Mariah Betts practice! Hope that others have better acoustics.

Thanks Mariah. Different kind of practice. I loved it. Added it to my favorites.

I did Mariah's grounding class. I liked how we primarily worked the long edge of the mat and used blocks in most poses. I even added them into additional poses. Very nice stretches to start the day.

I tried Denelle's class today. It was enjoyable and challenging. I was excited to see my Crow pose and even Side Crow coming back to me after a long time away from my mat. One word of warning, while she provides cues for alternative wrist stretches, this class - especially the first half - is pretty tough on the wrists so if you have sensitive wrists proceed with caution. It was almost too much for me.

Fiery session for today. I could not skip the breath excersise after all, it comes after me :D Thank you! 🙏

Just completed yoga for everybody ground sequence. I thought it did a great job of making you feel grounded with the earth. If I had blocks it would have been even more superb. Blocks are a definite for this class.

What a challenge, really got fired, thanks 🙏🏻
