Here we are. We have reached the end. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this challenge. It wasn't difficult and all of the stretching felt great! Here is the last video of the challenge. Hope you all enjoy!

30DYC: Day 29
Yesterday's video surprised me. I thought It would be harder to do dancer's pose but it ended up not being that hard. Maybe doing yoga every day may be improving my strength and flexibility. Weird. ;) Today's yoga is for better sleep. I'll be doing it right before bed.

30DYC: Day 25
Yesterday's yoga was great. On my work days I get home and immediately turn on yoga. It is a great way to destress and start my weekend. Today's video is sun salutations and quicker moving than most. Its not fast, just a little faster than normal. I kind of like it. Here ya go!

30DYC: Day 24
Yesterday's yoga was just what I needed. I got home from work with a killer migraine and the neck and upper back stretches were the best. I still had to medicate but the stretches felt great. Today's is super chill early morning yoga. Enjoy!

30DYC: Day 22
Yesterday's video was fun! I can't remember the last time I did a headstand. I did two and loved it. Today's video is a slower, relaxing video.

30DYC: Day 20-21
The shoulder workout from yesterday's video was a challenge for me (big surprise, not). I had to take rests frequently. Today's video is head stands! Sam said he didn't get up to a headstand but I did it twice. Takes a lot of core muscles! You can do it! First link is for day 20 and second link is for day 21.

30DYC: Day 19
Yesterday's video was a challenge with all the moving. I tweaked my knee a little bit but I hope it doesn't effect my ability to do the rest of the videos too much. Today's video is all about twists to strengthen the spine and aid digestion.

30DYC: Day 16
Yikes, did yesterday's video kill anyone else? I don't know why I struggled so hard but it was a doozy. Legs are a little jello-y right now. Hope you all are getting what you are looking for out of these videos. They have been great for Sam and I.

30DYC: Day 14
I love hip stretches! That is where I carry a lot of my tension so any excuse to stretch them out is fine by me. Today's video is for you runners out there. Enjoy!

30DYC: Day 13
I was surprised at how tight my hands and forearms were as we went through the video yesterday. Guess I should do that video more. Today's video is opening the hips and lower back. Yay!

30DYC: Day 9
How many of you did full wheel pose?! Not I said the weak-armed one. Haha. I really liked the back stretches though. I'd probably do that one over just because I liked it. Today is balancing poses. I hope you all enjoy them!

30DYC: Day 8
Hey all! I hope everyone is enjoying this yoga journey. I am liking it thus far. Yesterday's crow pose practice was fun. I liked her method of teaching the pose though I'd done it before. Breaking it down into parts made it simpler for sure. Today's video focuses on back flexibility. Sorry I didn't get this posted earlier. It has been a busy day!

30DYC: Day 7
It has officially been one week of yoga! Yesterday's video for the lower back was a good one. Today's is "How do to crow pose". Its the shortest video so far but it will be helpful for future videos (so Erin says). I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and that you enjoy today's video!

30DYC: Day 6
Good morning all! I abs/core are so sore that it hurts to sit up and coughing is the worst! Obviously these videos are working because I am feeling the burn. My favorite part of yesterday's video was when she had us lay in sphinx pose and then roll up to plank. I used every muscle! Any way, here is the video for day 6. I hope you are ready for a lower back workout!

30DYC: Day 5
Day 5 is core work out! I should be less enthused since my abs are still sore from yesterdays video. You know you're sore when you wake up in the night and think "My abs are sore." I wonder if there is an easier way to do downward dog because I have to come out of it every time now because my hands and wrists complain loudly. Guess I will have to continue through it in hopes that I'll get stronger. Here is today's video! Hope you like it!

30DYC: Day 4
Welcome to day 4 everyone! This will be an ab work out which I dread and look forward to a little. Abs are something I used to pride myself in having but they have gone away. Far, far away. Who knows, maybe I'll be in a little bit better shape when this is all said and done. I liked the video yesterday where we did poses to help our posture. I felt like this one was more of a work out than a stretch. Does anyone but me have a hard time in downward dog? I seriously can't support my own weight on my hands. Sad. I want to be able to though. Goals! Haha. Well here is the 4th video for our ab workout today. Good luck and I hope I survive!
