Martine, having had significant back problems myself - I suggest investigating pilates and pelvic floor pilates to help figure out how to use your core and pelvic floor during yoga.

Lightness and groundedness today - and a thought to ponder, to balance sun and moon, light and dark. Coming through a period of darkness and thinking deeply about changes I would like to make and moving into a period of celebrating and having fun. Your yoga helps me so much! Namaste

I like the poses that play with balance; a bit of challenge is always a good thing 😉
Have a good day ! Namaste.

I appreciated the challenge of the tree pose/foward bend variation as well as the familiar vinyasa sequence! Thanks, Adriene! Namaste

This is my first post but I have been following the program from the beginning. I am not a beginner with yoga, have taken from many different instructors, including online videos. You are by far the best!
I find the flow and your permission for us to "just be" and do what feels right for our bodies has actually made me much more confident in my poses. I also have crushed discs in my back, and have to be careful how far I push the poses, but I have been able to do all of them and today even surprised myself!
What I have found has changed most for me doing yoga daily, which in the past I only practiced 2-3 x a week, is that I have been able to manage my stress and anxiety so much better, I am just overall calmer. I chalk it up to daily practice that is always fun, rewarding and fresh. Thank you!

Namaste, Sherry

I was so keen but my body told me a very understandable NO. 😉 So today I felt better again and I tried again. The balancing part was tough and I only managed part of it but I am SO happy to be back, I missed it so much the last 3 days! I love the feeling in my body afterwards 🙂

I don't think I've ever thought yoga was fun before. I've always liked it, but fun is definitely a new way to describe it. Yay!

Thank you for setting out to create and share this 30 days of yoga over 1 1/2 (2 1/2?) years ago. Here it is, mid-September 2015 and I am following along, loyally, day-by-day. While I know it would be ok if I missed a day or one of the 30 yoga lessons it is important to me to follow along, as designed.
Today, you are in San Francisco for your first city of your road show. I feel so happy that in the middle of doing this 30 day series I received an email saying you were doing a roadshow and coming to my city, Chicago! I've changed my travel schedule to assure I'll be able to meet you and other yogis, people who I feel are, or could be "members of my tribe," or I could be a member of their's.

Today you shared a poem by Mary Oliver. I love her poetry and have even seen her read her poetry in person.
I too want to be light and frolicsome and afraid of nothing. You speak about feeling alive and meeting your edge and I long for that.
I am sniffling from a cold and aching from a pain that may require surgery so light, frolicsome, meeting my edge and being afraid of nothing are not sentiments I'm readily identifying with today. However, I will get on the mat, me and my watery eyes, stuffed up nose and gimpy hip. I will practice being aware of my breath and being present so that I can feel alive and as I heal I can think again of dangerous and noble things.
Thank you,
Eileen

You make the balancing poses so easy to do. My right leg is weaker than the left, that is, right leg give away earlier than left leg. Bending over was very challenging forget about coming to a squat. But still I attempted it. As you said, I will come back to this Day 18 practice more time every week to improve on my balance.

Thank you so much.

Lots of love and warm wishes,
Satish
