- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Welcome to day 2 of the 30 Day Improvers Yoga Challenge. Today we have a 20 min full body yoga flow revisiting some of the poses from yesterday's class.
Every other day in the challenge we will reset with a full body flow to give your body a break. There will still be the option to revisit some of the poses from previous days to keep your practice consistent.
In today's class we work through a full body sequence with standing and seated poses as well as revisiting crow pose and headstand for those that would like to.
I hope you enjoy day 2 of the challenge.
Charlie x

Thank's, it was perfekt looking forword to day 3
Thank you for considering to take it easy 🙂 Day 2,tripod headstand success for 2nd time,yeaaah
Good morning 🌞 from Greece
Hi Charlie, i'm going through depression but everyday your yoga sessions are very helpful to move forward. Thank you
I’m still not even close to getting headstand or crow, but! Today, it did feel just a little more possible. I got just a little closer than before, and it feels fantastic.
The same, but I guess today I wasn’t so overwhelmed by the poses… I changed tripod to a normal headstand coz that is what I was practicing lately… I think there’s little strength in my hands/wrists or I just don’t knw how to activate it, so headstand is actually easier for me coz weight is kind of evenly balanced on my arms and less on my head… today was a better day for me, more hope 😂😂😂 see u day 3
You should try using a prop or something to give you elevation (put your feet on it), then plant your hands on the floor. That way, your elbows are lower than your knees. You might not get it the first time, but the more you do that, the more you will be able to lift yourself. PLEASE NOTE THAT BODY PROPORTIONS ALSO MATTER.
I feel so relaxed and accomplished after this practice. I am unable to do crow or headstand at this time because of arthritis in my hands and wrists, but I will keep trying and modifying to get as close as I can. Thank you Charlie!
@@valerys7825 remember to use strong hands, strong fingers. You are not just resting on your hands, you are clawing your fingers into the floor. It takes some of the stress off the wrist that way.
Not sure I will ever do a headstand, or if it is safe for me to do one, but I have been practicing for 6 months to get back to being able to do crow and I finally got it yesterday. I haven’t been able to for 10 years. Keep practicing and you will get there. It’s tricky balance.
Look at us, all here together walking each other home 🙏🏼😊👌🏼
I am 64 and new to yoga. Started in January this year and discovered your channel in February. You make everything seem accessible! I have vertigo and can’t do the headstand, but I actually lifted my feet off the ground for a few seconds today in crow! Thank you!!!
What an incredible journey you're on! Starting yoga at 64 is truly inspiring.
From my vantage point (being 68) I can tell you that you have just changed your life. You'll see!
That is so great! That sense of progress feels amazing, doesn't it?
I went into crow pose and finally got off of both feet. I felt so confident....and then I faceplanted. Loved the practice!
Been there 😅 now you know where your limit is. Crow was particularly challenging for me before, took me many many months of continuous practice to ace it. You'll get there!! See you tomorrow on the mat!🙏🏻
I actually have a slight friction burn on my chin... I more chin-planted than faceplanted!
I always end up leaning to my left. I have learnt how to not faceplant 😅 Always a step forward❤
@@gabrielaf i think a good tip is to place your gaze really forward when you shift your weight towards the flight, it really helps!
i’m gaining more confidence with putting my weight into my hands during crow! i’m not ready to lift my feet yet but something clicked today and i’m excited to work towards my first arm balance/inversion
That’s so exciting to read! When things start to click that’s when you know your body is figuring things out. Thank you for sharing your breakthrough ☺️
Charlie, repeating the crow pose and headstand for day 2 session was very rewarding in my humble opinion. Thank you. Look forward for Day 3.❤🙏
The peacocks in the background sound divine. Thank you for this Charlie
Charlie you’re right again! It DID feel a little more possible today. I struggle with crow but keep practicing. Yesterday was my first attempt at headstand and to say I was humbled is an understatement. But going by your step by step guides I got my knees on my elbows today😊
Your shoulder/arm muscles are impressive! That yoga strength is amazing!
Thank you, Charlie. Day 2 was equally beautiful. Warrior II is such a satisfying pose, isn't it? I appreciate the stillness and your gentle and clear coaching. Roll on Day 3.
Thank you for your positive feedback and yes I couldn’t agree more the fundamental poses are the best.
Charlie.. thank you.
Yesterday I could barely tolerate weight on my head at the 2nd variation of the headstand. Today, I got both knees to my arms and held at least 5 seconds!!!! I am so thankful for revisiting poses and seeing true progress from day to day. Can't wait for the rest of this journey with you Charlie
So proud of you! Keep up the great work! ❤️
Pleasantly surprised that crow and headstand were repeated on Day 2, together with the wrist movements. Very well sequenced class that packed a punch in just twenty minutes! Still miss the music accompaniment, but the birdsong during savasana closed it off beautifully. Thank you Charlie! Looking forward to Day 3.
Yes, today tripod headstand and crow felt more accessible and steady, I could even hold the poses for some sec. I'm already feeling the improvement after only 2 days! Thanks for everything Charlie, see you tomorrow for Day 3, Day 2 in the books!
That’s so exciting! I can’t wait to share the rest of the challenge with you. Thank you for tuning in for day 2
Hello, putting my whole weight on the crown of my head is pain full, but I will keep trying. Since I got better at crow pisé, I think I can get better at head stand too. Have à Nice day
Im glad this is only 20 minutes. My body is still a bit painful from yesterday. Thank you, Charlie! Have a great Sunday.
me too!
Me too ✋️
I love seeing free 30 day yoga challenges on yt. Thank you for making yoga accessible to those us of who don't have a studio near or who can't afford classes ❤
Yessssss! I managed crow and for the first time in about 50 years, did a headstand!! Well, a crouching one, but nonetheless... yesterday I thought I'd never get it right. Charlie, you're amazing! Thanks for repeating practices in a way that's not boring or discouraging, and thank you for your patience with all of us!
Omg ty ty ty !!! This challenge is exactly what I been looking for !!! And so far so good I can do it !!! You always make it easier and simple to understand and I am always so proud of myself after YOUR videos !!! Thank you so much for all the work u do to even do these videos !!! So so appreciated !!!🎉❤
Crow and headstand is just a first step for me. I might surprise my self later in the challenge. Thank you for the practice❤
Charlie this flow is absolutely awesome for those of us working on crow and headstand. Thank you so much for creating it! It’s going to be a staple for those days I’m short on time!❤
Although I haven't yet mastered crow pose or the headstand, I'm confident I will soon ( once I remove the fear of breaking my neck lol). Thank you Charlie for another great class!
Thank you Charlie ❤ I realised this morning maybe my progression is towards accepting (STILL working on this 47 years later) what my body looks like during yoga. I can do crow and the supported headstand and I feel a certain (strong) way, but catching a glimpse in the mirror of my bum in warrior pose tumbled me into insecurity 🦛 May I progress beyond this. x
I feel the same, that's why you shouldn't practice with mirrors! 😂❤️
❤@@shawker37
I sure did feel "this could be possible"!!!🎉
I’m so glad you felt that sense of possibility 🙏 thank you for joining me for day 2
Yay, I got my knees up onto my forearms with my head on the mat! I'm making progress! Thanks to you, Charlie 💕
Thank you Charlie! I was pretty under the weather when the challenge started but wanting to start kept me so motivated! I really looked forward to it. Started yesterday and looking forward to the rest. After doing your videos regularly for the last 6 months, there's so much improvement in how I feel and the strength and flexibility in my body. Finally tried handstand today! Thank you again for your time in bringing us these videos and challenges
Yes, I am actually getting really better at headstand 🎉
Thank you, I've enjoyed it very much!
That’s really encouraging to read, I’m so glad you are making progress ☺️
Thanks Charlie another amazing class. ❤❤ always I enjoy the practice
Thank you for helping me strengthen my body and mind. Great teacher and great guide. Such poise and control!
Thank you for your generosity! Grateful for sharing your practices with us❤
Thank you Charlie for another creative & inspiring practice. I am no way as graceful as you but I am aiming to be closer. Much blessings as you guide us in our yoga journey. Being flexible not only in our body but mind & spirit❤️👍👏
Hi!! I have been doing yoga for a year and i am always scared of headstands.
This is the first time that I managed to lift my heels and not be terrified. Thank you Charlie!!
Greetings from Mexico 😊
I was sick so I only started the challenge yesterday. I always feel so strong after practising with you, and I could actually lift my feet off the ground for a second in crow. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you so much for one more amazing practice!!❤
Thank you so much miss Charlie I'm having so much fun I can't wait for day 3 you rock ✌️
Always grateful for these daily practices, much love to all who are a part of this community!
Shifted into tripod headstand more easily than yesterday after my attempt at revisiting the pose post-class. So lovely to practice this morning in Kinabalu Park with the birds chirping.
Thanks Charlie. I am not close to the poses but I go with the flow and enjoy the challenge. I hope by end of this challenge my body and mind are stronger. See you tomorrow ❤
Few times I was trying to watch headstands tutorials on YT and each time failed. I have decided to do your challenge as my everyday yoga and was very surprised that I was able to feel comfortable enough to lift my feet off the ground while in headstand. I am so impressed by steps you are deciding to put after each other, for me at the beginning they were in a random chronology, now I start to see there's a reason behind them. Very cool practice Thank you!!!
Thank you, Charlie! Happy Sunday. 🙏🌍
Thank you so much, I love it! Please continue this 30day challenges. Maybe next year for advanced ‼️😍
Thank you Charlie.. I just did my first head stand since I was a kid!!
So stoked!!
Excellent practice, as always! Thank you, Charlie! Your practice has been an important part of my self care for months.
Stephen
Thank you, Charlie! You're the best!
Perfect Time. Better when Yesterday for me 😋 i Like your 20-25 minutes session with a little stenght and some stretch position. It IS a good balance between workout and quiet Time. Many thanks
It has been a long while since I really attempted a headstand. Between yesterday and today I was surprised to be able to complete a full headstand with relative ease and control, today even pointing my feet straight up for about a second. Imagine, at nearly 40, my neck, back, shoulders, and balance are the best in my life! Thanks in no small part to Charlie and an very large part to 10 years of yoga. I’d like to think I haven’t yet hit my physical prime. Maybe I’ll get there by 60 😅
That's amazing display of yoga. Wishing you most healthy and successful life!
Thank you, Charlie! I really enjoy your choice of peak poses for this challenge!
Charlie, thank you for this wonderful practice, looking forward to day 3 :)
“Thank you again I’ll see you tomorrow” ❤
Thank you Charlie for starting the yoga journeys for beginners like myself.
Got my crow working for a few seconds a piece and feel like I can do more with some steps toward the headstand :) thank you! Looking forward to tomorrow.
Headstand was al little easier today. Got my knees up off my elbows. Yesterday that didn't seem remotely possible! Thanks for the great sequence and making the 30 day challenge!!
I managed to lift the toes to go into crow ! I hold it maybe just 2 seconds, shaking, but I felt so strong haha ! I also managed for the first time to lift the toes in headstand with my knees on my elbows. I think if I want to lift the knees it's going to take a lot of work but I'm happy that I came a little closer to the posture. I love it when there are lots of different steps because we can see the progress easily 😊 thank you Charlie for this improvers series !!
Thank you Charlie! Today was not it for me and I almost forgot to practice today but I was pleasantly surprised that today's class was only 20 minutes. Wonderful!
Fantastic practice really energizing and loosen me up feeling great have a wonderful day Charlie thanks for day two see you tomorrow for day 3
Getting closer to being able to do all of the things, and I’m really proud of myself! Thank you for this series - I would not have tried these balance poses without it!
Am certainly building on strength. Thank you 🙏💚🌿
I am a couple of days behind, but loving the journey. Thank you so much for offering this!!
Charlie, have I already told you that you're the most gifted, wonderful, unbelievably inspiring yoga teacher in the world?
I reached my headstand yesterday and have done it again today! I never thought I was capable of that. Your lessons really make magical change! ❤❤❤ Thank you
So excited to continue this yoga challenge
I did it!!! I did headstand! On the first attempt i toppled over forward and fell into my coffee cup. Rewinded and tried again slower. Feeling so so good.
Yesterday felt impossible, today i am full off hope, and tommorow i will surelly succed! Thank you, Charlie!❤❤
Practicing with your beautiful voice calms my mind🙏🏽💓
Thanks for the lesson, miss Charlie!
you are a beautiful soul also i had no idea i could do that type of handstand so THANK YOU
Thank you, a nice follow on from the first practice. That's a new way of getting into a headstand for me but I like it.
Love this funky, chill cumbia at the end of the videos. Got right up into the handstand for the second time today. I've gotten the forearm-hands-clasped-headstand down and this one felt so different. It's a challenge, but I love it. Great balance of classes
It really is so different! The funny thing for me is that before kids I was able to do tripod headstand, but not at all supported with hands clasped. Now after kids, supported headstand has come more easily, even able to do fancy legs and I am just barely ( after a month of attempting) being able to secure the tuck position in tripod. 🫠
I got my feet off the ground today! Your instruction is phenomenal. Thank you for doing this series.
Thank you Charlie I succeedeed headstand today for the first time, you decompose so well the poses that it makes them accessible!!
That was perfect. I actually managed about a second in crow! I find I need to put my knees on the outside of my arms though. My triceps are usually tender from strength training so resting knees on the outside made this possible. Thanks so much. Can’t wait for day three!!
The best yoga teacher!
Wow, I can't believe this 62yr yogi can still do crow pose and headstand. It's been a few years since I tried them. You move through the practice so calmly Charlie, that I felt confident enough to try. Thank you so much.
Im redoing the challenge and omg !!! I did the headstand tuck AND got my legs straight up, i held every pose had issue with bind on one side, my right arm just doesnt wanna work with me(same wLeft hip) ... Ur shorts(videos, u give great tips) r great too !!! I do the leg exercise with the blocks just watching tv n its hard !!! Im sooo proud of myself and its all bc of ur videos !!! Thank you so much charlie !!! I could never be able to repay you for the positivity youve brought to yoga and life !!!
Charlie, I am very grateful to you for this practice! I notice a improvement in my body already, since I joined to your classes! 😊
Charlie, thank you so much for your classes, for the way you gradually show and explain 🤍
Today I did my first headstand with your guidance at home!! That's interesting because I've never did it before at offline yoga classes!
You are a great teacher!
I did a small progress today! Thank you so much!
Wonderful! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Charlie ❤
Good to revisit the skills. I always get a bruise while doing crane so here's another one! Thanks for sharing Charlie.
Wow I didn't manage the headstand, but has a real go at everything else. Thank you.
Thanks that is really good as usual and intense too thanks again 👍👍
Thank You Charlie,loved it,today the tripod headstand was feeling more possible,awesome practice 🙏🤩🌻
Crow and headstand felt a lot better today. Can’t wait for tomorrow.
Love the post-practice music selection, Charlie!
Love the adventure into a headstand, not there yet but ill keep trying ❤
Thank you charlie ❤
Effective short class I will start from monday will just repeat first two clases . 😊
Just the right amount of time but quite challenging and fun!
Thanks, Charlie :) have been adding in arm and ankle weights to build strength, but definitely felt a little energy deplete today from doing that on Day 1! Still managed to get into crow and headstand. I can see this will already be a journey of self-learning. :)
So happy to start a new challenge this month ! I did the one in January and really enjoyed it 🤗 Thank you Charly for your amazing work and dedication❤🙏
Today, though challenging for me, felt so rewarding ❤ I’ve seen a couple comments saying coming back to crow and headstand was really nice today and I couldn’t agree more! I’m a long ways off to perfecting or performing either but I’m excited to continue building off of each practice with compassion and joy.
Yesterday I tried the tripod headstand for the 1st time in my life and it was so refreshing, I managed to keep my knees on my elbows but no more. And today i lifted one of my legs and it was amazing, but lifting both legs at the same time seems impossible for now😂
Thank you so much for your hard work, for your kind and supportive guidance❤
Thanks Charlie . Me too still struggling with crow pose and head stand .
Day 2, felt like I could someday do a headstand and the crow! Onward I go! Thank you!!
i absolutely loved this class
I felt great today as I held the crow for the first time in a very very long time, there is no doubt in my mind that your sessions are helping me build a stronger practise. I also had my legs stable on my elbows throughout the headstand which was a new position for me. Last but not least I just felt amazing stretching through your poses after a run. Thank you Charlie for your guidance. Feels safe and encouraging all the way though but challenging as well. Such a challenging balance, you are incredible ❤❤
Day-2 was the perfect anecdote to Day-1 ….thank you Charlie 🤎👩🏻🤎🥰😇
With a pillow under my head, I was able to do a full headstand for the first time today! I was only able to do a forearm stand before! I'm so happy! Thank you
Very nice. I am looking forward to your gradually introducing back ends; what I need to work on.
Thank you for doing this 30 day challenge 🙏
It's my pleasure! I hope you enjoy it 😊
Oh my gosh! I went a tiny bit further towards headstand today than yesterday! I’m still just at resting my knees on my arms but that’s more than yesterday!! So excited! Thanks so much Charlie! What an awesome follow up class to yesterday’s!❤
Wow I was actually able to do the headstand today! 🎉 I’ve been subscribed and watching since January and I’ve been took my first class a week ago. I’m so excited for this challenge!
