Relax 3 Week 3 – Again after building for the past two weeks, I was ready for more of a challenge to finish the program out. I know it’s supposed to be a relaxing day like it says but I’m used to the more intense BB workouts, which kick my ass so I guess even though it’s tough on me I prefer the intensity! Never thought I would say that. Relax 2 Week 2 – This one moved a little too slow for me. It is very basic and well relaxing! I have to admit I do like the way Vytas leads the Yoga class better, but keeping an open mind! You are not going to like every trainer or program and that is OK!
Relax 1 Week 1 – This is a chill Yoga day with yoga instructor Faith. I am hoping I feel more solid on my feet. It will be interesting to see how the balance influences my next workouts. I still can’t walk a straight line but I really think I have progressed. (In yoga when you fall you smile/laugh and then move on!) It is a great practice on mindset shift, we will not always be perfect with the things we attempt to do and that is OK!īalance 3 Week 3– Ted leads us through the last day of balance. I am still wobbly and ended up smiling quite a bit through the workout. I was surprised that I was able to do as much as I did. I have a feeling the “flow” yoga tomorrow is going to be challenging! Just really proud I got up to work out today!īalance 2 Week 2 – Elise takes us to a different level of balance with the poses.
#3 WEEK YOGA RETREAT WEEK 1 CODE#
Vytas also introduced chaturanga which is code for yoga push up. I definitely need to work on my balance because I was struggling but smiling. Your arms and shoulders do a lot of work holding your body weight during some of the poses.
I am very proud of myself and the fact that I can hold my planks with no modification! Strechīalance 1 Week 1– I was surprised at how sore my shoulders were when doing the warrior pose. I am a lot more comfortable with the different yoga poses and regulated breathing. I was sweating like I did a cardio workout by the end.
#3 WEEK YOGA RETREAT WEEK 1 HOW TO#
Elise teaches us how to expand on the basic moves we learned last week and to expand the poses taking up more space and getting a better stretch.Ĭore 3 Week 3 – Ted takes us into progression week. The core workout is at the beginning of the week and is a pretty intense workout. Lots of planks today with shoulders burning. It might just be my brain tricking me but I’m rolling with that thought for motivation. It will be really interesting to see how the days progress with the movements.Ĭore 2 Week 2 – I’m already feeling stronger in my core.
I was pleasantly surprised at the satisfying feeling. By the end of the 30 minutes, I was sweating. Then incorporate breathing into the moves. Vytas takes you through the poses step by step. And I highly recommend you do the same – it will just make your experience on day 1 better! CoreĬore 1 Week 1- I was surprised at how physical yoga actually is. Upon selecting my starting date for the 3 Week Yoga Retreat, I spent the day before #1 watching the how-to videos and practicing the moves to get a good idea of the different moves and how to do the poses. You see all the weird poses, with the Yoga instructors being so flexible, and think – my body can’t do that?! I am here to say YES IT CAN! I really encourage you to embrace Yoga – take a class, do a Youtube workout, or join Beachbody on Demand and do the 3 Week Yoga Retreat! I think you might find yourself pleasantly surprised like I was! And then you might find yourself buying more yoga pants and figuring out how to work some Yoga into your daily routine! The thing about Yoga is that the thought of it makes you feel uncomfortable, and we as humans don’t like to be uncomfortable. I had my mind pretty closed off to the practice even skipping it on some of the other programs I have tried. Never thought I would say the words but I really enjoy Yoga.
