Wow, my body is loving this. But, I've done this day twice and will do once more before I proceed to let my stiff body get even more flexible. The form you're teaching is great. I'm proud of my progress. I used to do all this many moons ago when I was in high school :)
Wow. End of day 10. I can now twist and touch the back of the chair. Also on day 1 I could not lift my foot to my knee, I could today! Much more agile already. Great feeling. Thank you
I just finished day 10 and love it. Relaxes my mind. I had knee replacement a year ago so have to be careful and have sciatica so I adjust as needed. Love it.
I've been really enjoying these sessions! Perfect amount of time, I can really feel the workout! I like how you incorporate some standing but saw that some only want the chair. Maybe you can do a variation for those who want to stay seated or have a hard time standing. Just an idea. Keep up the great work! ❤
Glad you like them! I have over 200 classes on my Bottoms Down UA-cam channel that are all seated. So I definitely have offerings for everyone. Keep up the great work and I'll see you tomorrow.
Great workout, but not looking to stand. I was intentional in doing CHAIR yoga only. I’m hopeful that the remaining days are seated, as that’s what brought me to the challenge
There is a playlist with all seated classes on the Bottoms Down UA-cam channel. You can find it at UA-cam.com/bottomsdown and scroll down to Chair Yoga Practices by Position. I've also included a link below. I hope this helps and I'm sorry for your frustration. ua-cam.com/play/PLD2LeigHmZ4GKGIaoFmuAJaeKu1wToiLM.html
I am noticing a distinct improvement in balance. While it may seem odd, this morning, putting on my jeans, I did not wobble, sit or use the dresser to stabilize the process. I am over 70, and that is a distinct change...standing upright and balanced on one foot. I am in for the long haul here. Thank you, thank you.
It is not odd at all! Practicing balance each and every day will definitely help us all improve. It's a fact! Keep up the great work and I love the feedback. See you tomorrow.
Hi Carol, here again, making time to focus and move my body... I felt a little mental resistance but just set up my kit and began. I love those twists and heart openers, they really help melt away the stress of the day :) Thanks as always.
I'm so proud of you for sticking to it. It's easy to resist, but kudos for not letting it keep you away from your chair. Keep up the great work! See you tomorrow.
Got back from tgiv tent camping at the entrance to Okefenokee Swamp. Did a couple longer walks (requiring hip stretches to reduce pain) and some yoga in my sleeping bag and after getting up. Mostly just “hiking” the short off-road distance between our campsites. Day 10 video felt good. Thx. 32:07
There is no timetable or time limit on the classes. They'll be there when you're ready to go to the next one. Just keep going strong and you'll reap the benefits for sure! See you tomorrow.
I am glad I started and kept up with this. I am 69 and just needed a bit more activity. My right shoulder blade is sore in a good way. I do feel I have a bit more stamina and better outlook. Thnk you.
I am so glad to hear that. Chair yoga is such a great alternative to mat yoga when the floor is inaccessible. Keep up the great work and I'll see you tomorrow!
Carol, I just finished day 10. I have an artificial left hip and an 8 level spinal fusion (T10-S1) so I am limited in twisting and bending but I am working within my comfort range. Down Dog presented the biggest challenge for me so far so I am sticking with the first or second version you presented. I am challenging myself to see it through to the end. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Way to go! As I always say, listen to your body and do what works for you. That's why I give options, so everyone can be successful. Keep up the great work! I know it can be challenging, but the rewards are so worth it. See you tomorrow!
I am really enjoying this 28-day challenge. I have not missed a day. I did notice that I went from day 8 to day 10. Is that correct? Or did I miss something? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Hello! Thank you so much for pointing this out. I have to apply the video to the playlists manually, and I just missed this. I will update the playlists and make sure all the videos for all 28 days are appropriately applied to the playlists. You're welcome and I'm so glad you have joined us. See you tomorrow!
Thanks Carol! I am back. Love your energy :) I will begin teaching in 7 days & I get more excited every time I practise with you :) I was just wondering, if you recommend any chair yoga teacher course? Do you offer for teachers?
Good luck with your new adventure. I don't provide chair yoga teacher training courses. You can try Silver Sneakers or Yoga Vista. I hope you'll keep participating in Bottoms Down. See you tomorrow.
Often I find I want to hold the stretch or position a little longer but you are moving on --I dont know if Im the only one to feel this way so just an idea. Appreciate the 28 day challenge, Im on day 10
Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes we hold poses longer and sometimes we move through them more fluidly. I developed a series of classes called Slow and Short where we specifically move through the poses more slowly. You can check it out at ua-cam.com/users/bottomsdown. Keep up the great work and I'll see you tomorrow.
Didn't think I could stretch the right knee as I injured it earlier this winter. But managed a small stretch. Hope to get more movement out of it as time goes on
@@BettySwayze Glad you like the classes. Engage the pelvic floor muscles to help with bladder lift. Pull your belly button to your spine and squeeze like you are stopping the urine flow. This will engage the pelvic floor muscles to strengthen them. Keep up the great work.
I love the shirt you are wearing in Day 10 of Bottoms Down. It has a kaleidoscope and says Just Breathe. I tried to search for it on internet and couldn’t find one like that. Do you remember where you got it? Thanks for the yoga videos. They are great!
I ordered it from a local shop that was going out of business. Sorry I can't be of more help on the t-shirt front. But I'm glad I'm able to help you through the chair yoga videos. Keep up the great work!
I'm very disappointed that this becomes some seated with more standing as the 28 day challenge goes on. I specifically was looking for a chair yoga challenge, which I assumed meant seated, due to physical limitations. Now, 9 days in, I feel like I can not continue with the challenge.

Great job! Keep it up and I'll see you tomorrow.
It doesn't matter what time of day I do this I yawn through the whole thing! LOL I feel so good when finished. I am loving this!
It's OK to yawn! Just keep up the great work. See you tomorrow.
Proud of myself... Day 10 done ❤
Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself. Keep going strong. See you tomorrow.

It's been a long time since I did a pigeon pose. Not as flexible as I once was. I'm enjoying the challenge.
I'm so glad you are enjoying the challenge. Keep up the great work. Flexibility will return! See you tomorrow.
I love ever minute of these excess sizes!

Two weeks to get to day 9 but I’m determined to carry on. It’s surprisingly difficult. I’m enjoying though! Thank you for providing.

Completed 10 last night just forgot to comment lol. Nice stretching 👌 thanks
Love your dedication. Keep it up. And I love the comments. Thanks!
❤ Love your beautiful smile and motivating chuckle when it gets a little tougher ❤️ Thank you for a great day 10 ❤
You're welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying the classes. Keep it up?
I'm someone who holds so much tension in my shoulders and neck. This is helping a lot. Thanks.
Excellent! Be sure to check out the playlist that focuses on the neck. Go to UA-cam.com/c/BottomsDown and look for playlists by body area.
Great class
Thanks so much! See you tomorrow.
wonderful always
So glad you are enjoying the classes. See you tomorrow.
Very good, I enjoyed that
Yea! So glad you liked it. See you tomorrow.

Namaste 🙏
Namaste, my friend.

Excellent! So happy you are enjoying it. Keep it up and I'll see you tomorrow.

Good starting Sunday like that.
Good Sunday Carol. 😙😙
Ahh, Sunday morning yoga. Doesn’t get much better than that! See you tomorrow.
I am really enjoying these exercises. I can not do the floor yoga poses right now but these help me stretch and release tension.

There is some position I can't do. I enjoy your program ❤😮 I would like something to help with bladder lift surgery.

Thanks
You are very welcome!
Day 10 still going :-)
You're doing great! Keep it up. I know that you will. See you tomorrow.
❤❤❤❤
Right back at 'ya!
I may have to backtrack to get more hip and spine flexibility before I move on.
@@HeidiMiller-j4i That's a good idea. Backtracking is absolutely fine. Do what works for you! Keep up the great work.
almost perfect 10
