39 Day Yoga Progress Project: Flexibility

[yogagrammy 236]

I think I'll give King Pigeon Pose a good effort. I love pigeon but I can't seem to get my hands and arms to do what they need to for the full king pigeon. I need to work on more flexibility in my shoulders I think. This will be so much fun!!!

Splits and dancer's

 

Here goes

 

Me and my friend are going to egg each other on... this is gonna be especially tough after pole class though..

 

Excited     x x

I'm a little bit uncertain about the pose, but I think I'll choose forward fold and I'll give a try to king pidgeon, too.

I'm soooo excited about this challenge

[alexa2812 4]

oooh no now you've put wheel pose up and I really want to get that too...  do we think aiming for splits, wheel and dancers is just too much?

I'm that person that always tries to do too much... but I just can't decide!

[Linda 24]

Thanks for this. It sounds wonderful! I've never tried anything like this before.

You know your body best. If you're going to do multiple though and are worried about burning out, I might just focus on splits and dancer's because they are similar poses so you'll be focusing on the same parts of the body, you know?

So excited about this project and I love that instead of having a different pose every day, this challenge gives the chance to go deeper in a specific pose.  I'm going to do my least favorite Lizard Pose as well as splits!!

Ahh lizard is what I would be doing if I didn't have the craziest travel coming up - that pose is my nemesis!!

Ugh man. Flexibility is not my middle name dancers pose, let's be friends.

[Katie 51]

I have been really focusing on forearm stand (without the wall support - I currently can get up and then get off of the wall for a few breaths but I would love to just get up there!) and dancers pose with both arms reaching back for the foot.  I think that this may moticate me to continue to focus on them.

I'm in! I think I'm going for dancer's pose as well. I tried to take a picture this morning and it looks like I have pleeeenty of room for growth

[earth2jo 10]

I'm in, going to work on back bends to improve my wheel pose.

[malayadbsk 2]

Hi guys~ I have very tight hips. And it took me a while to open just a bit of it >< So, I'm going to work on my Baddha Konasana(Butterfly Pose) Let's do this!

[ecfc3 5]

I'm in! I feel like my hips and hammies are tight, so would like to focus on forward fold and half pigeon (the latter mainly cuz it hurts so good!    )

[YogaByCandace 1,515]

Woop! Who is ready for tomorrow?! Feel free to start posting your starting photo if you like! Make sure to use #YBCprogress so I can see!!

[Laura 130]

I have still to understand how will I take my pictures, but I'm so ready!

Thank you so much for this plan, it's beautiful to know we're all together in this project, I can't wait for tomorrow.

[Yogabliss 174]

Super excited!!!

[Turi 140]

Ready!

I´ve chosen two poses: Reverse tabletop, because I´ve pretty annoyed with that one. It doesn´t look so bad in the photo (last week it looked more like boat pose! ) because I´ve already been working on it for  little while, but there is still room for improvement. 

And triangle, because I would like to see a little bit of improvement in the hip area too 

And now that you mentioned it, Candace, I´m feeling majorly shy posting those!!   

[jbatista 13]

i'cant wait to start .. still isn't Nov 1 first? and i'm going to add another pose which is boat pose aside from my goal (camel pose)

If you have an iPhone you can take a video and then do a screenshot of your fullest expression of the pose. Alternatively there are self timer apps 

[TamaraB 4]

Excited to be part of the group!  Downward Facing Dog & Camel pose are the two I need to work on

[Jasmine 363]

Another dancer's pose here    makes me feel like a graceful ballerina - I'd love to get my leg higher.

[Linda 24]

OK I've got my goal pose. It's king pigeon. I've been studying the youtube video by the lovely Candace. You make it look so easy, Candace! I'll do my best and stick with it. Who knows? I may be able to reach my foot some day.  <a href=http://www.freesmile

[Jasmine 363]

So I think the hardest thing for me is going to be getting a decent photo! It's nice to see a couple of familiar faces up there already

I hear ya! King Pigeon for me also. Going to be a challenge! I looked at my picture and I was surprised at how far my head was to my feet! I could have sworn I was closer than that!

I'm going to do a post on this right now because so many people have the same question. Check the blog in a few
