Level 1, Month 4


Program A: 15 minutes
This routine has a little bit of everything. It also incluces the first post that stopped me in my tracks - twisted child's pose. The first few times I did it I ended up falling over, and it scared me a little because of the way your head is twisted on the ground. But I am feeling more comfortable with it after a few weeks. The strength work isn't super tough, but when done after a hard workout can be tiring. Poses include:2 bicycle variations, knee to chin at wall, and with a block under hips, shoulder stretches, 3 skier squat variations , warrior 3 prep, twisted child pose.

Program B: 20 minutes
This routine is good but tougher than everything before. I like how she uses the block for bridge and cobra to get you to focus on keeping stable. Poses include: sidewinder, revolved ab pose variation #2, 2 bridge variations, cobra with block, leg stretch #3, 2 intense stretch variations, twisted triangle, twisted side angle pose, happy baby.

Program C: 34 minutes

All of the poses from A and B combined into one routine.

This routine seems harder to me than everything else before. That is the point, I know - to progress with these. But the twisted poses are not as easy for me as when I used to do yoga more regularly 10 years ago. It is nice to start to feel a little challenged with the routines, even though I've really enjoyed the first 3 months too.
