I documented the first 100 days of yoga transformation so I can show myself how far I have come along whenever I feel like quitting. Starting something new can be a daunting step to take. After 6 years of having zero physical exercise I decided to start practicing yoga again like I have always wanted to.
If you ever ask the question, how do I start exercising? Or how do I start doing something new? Or more importantly, how do I overcome the fear of starting something outside of my comfort zone? I hope this video would help add a little steam to your boat towards your dream state of being.

Thank you for watching my videos documenting and sharing my own spiritual growth and spiritual teachings that have touched my soul. The world is vast and I hope to celebrate our shared humanity while finding resonance by sharing my vulnerability, struggles, revelations, and exaltations.

"I have visualised my ideal self long enough, it is time to start showing up as her" I actually really needed to hear that. Thank you.

@TheIVicky 2 года назад

Exactly!

@prtdiva 2 года назад

Yes! Needed that!

@Awen_newA 2 года назад

I was thinking the exact same thing! I know I am that person underneath these layers of fat. It's already in us. I'm just gonna show up! This one really hit me. You're not alone! 🙏🏾♥️

@cloverflower2820 2 года назад

When I was younger I never had a problem with starting. Being consistent and finishing however, was a different story. I made a list of all the thing I haven't completed and working on them. It feels amazing and actually quite addictive.

@hycicle 2 года назад

I concur. I have the same tendencies ;)

@XXWien1000 Год назад

What are those things for example?

@girlofanimation 7 месяцев назад

I like this idea. I'm a serial hobbyist, so I've started so many things that I haven't finished.

@dianagb9770 2 года назад

I just started crying half way through this...I have a 8-month old, I used to be so fit and do yoga every day. I feel so weak now, exhausted every second...I find it hard to imagine getting back into a fitness routine. It was so helpful for my mental health disorder. You're video reminded me of that feeling of starting out and also gave me some hope that no matter how long it takes, I can always get back into it. thank you

@tickledpink2244 2 года назад

This is such a powerful statement: "Being free of self-judgment made this thing a whole lot easier, and a lot more enjoyable as well." Thank you for making this video and sharing it with us. It's very inspiring and makes me want to give yoga another go. I always gave up too soon (too difficult, too stiff, can't do this, and all that BS that I catch myself saying all day). It's time to just start doing a routine and not beat myself up about it because it's not perfect. Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm going for 1% improvement at a time and enjoying the journey instead of focusing on only the destination. 🙏

@Sophie-vw5ol 2 года назад

It's very important that you start with asanas and videos for beginners that you can do. With a slow practice the joy comes from itself and with every move it can be the best thing. Wish you all the best! 😊

@hycicle 2 года назад

Love your comment. The key is in enjoying the process. Forget about how we do compared to others, or even compared to when we were younger and fitter. Just have fun! When you have fun and keep going, improvement is a natural by-product. This applies to everything and not just yoga. Hope you're having alot of fun in everything you do :)

@loladexploradora5567 2 года назад

I started doing yoga for two weeks straight and I can already FEEL and SEE the difference. Every time I’m done with the practice I feel fresh and energized, I’ve also become more flexible and be able to hold hard poses for longer! I’m glad this changed your life for the better❤️

@Mad93Person 2 года назад

"Being free of self-judgment made this thing a whole lot easier, and a lot more enjoyable as well." That part hit me really hard... I am always expecting perfection and great results of everything I do, you could say that I am not really nice with myself most of the time and is something that I need to fix ASAP

@hycicle 2 года назад

Most of us have been raised to be so hard on ourselves. Let's all remind ourselves and each other to be kind to ourselves, and to believe in ourselves more. Sending love.

@tubaeda312 2 года назад

I’m also doing yoga for 3 weeks now and every little step that takes me go further makes me so happy 😍🎉

I am just beginning my yoga journey. How did you all start? Just with youtube? I worry I am getting it all wrong when I just do it with RU-vid xxx

@hannahmitchell87 2 года назад

@@Loubell_83 I started almost 3 years ago with Yoga With Adriene on RU-vid. She's amazing & has videos for various abilities, offering modifications for beginners. I find her intsructions very easy to visualise & interpret without cranking to look at the screen. Never thought I'd have a regular practice but here I am, still doing the only form of exercise I've maintained long term in my adult life!! Good luck, hope you find someone that works for you! Xxx

@sugaplum019 2 года назад

I cried watching this. “Something from deep within me said to start.” This voice spoke to me too and this video came at the right time. Thank you for sharing, so many of us needed it! 💜

@grymoniaracemosa4062 Год назад

It’s so inspiring to see that you have progressed alone in ashtanga yoga, one of the most difficult styles of yoga. When I open a video for beginners in ashtanga it’s always written “Attention, practice this sequence with a experienced teacher “. But not all of us can go directly to a school. So I think that you are so brave girl!

@facelesssilence Год назад

I love that you showed in parallel the before and after! There's so little "progress" sharing that I've been able to find on the Internet. I've been going to yoga classes twice a week and I haven't seen much progress with me but your video is such an inspiration!

@alicasti1 2 года назад

I wasn't searching for the message in your video today - but it is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for sharing.

@SenamOkpattah Год назад

This video is so validating! So much of what you've shared, I've thought about too. I'm learning that nonjudgment, a fous on the current action rather than the outcome, and alignment with my highest self are keys to self-improvement and discipline. I'm learning to ground myself in these values as I navigate my own fitness journey and efforts to pick up new hobbies/skills.

@zeynepela9762 2 года назад

This was really powerful. I have been hesitant to start and I feel you gave me the right reason to hold on "just focus on whats going right for you" . Thank you so much!

congrats for your transformation and for sharing! 💜 we always see how good are others at what great they doing but we don't know how much time they work and struggle with themselfs to get there! I think it's very important to know the stories behind each transformation to not be expected to be perfect from the beginning! Thanks for sharing and showing the transformations ,it means a lot for us !

Thank you for this video! This pretty much sums up my own journey with Yoga! Have begun again and trying to be consistent , as best as I can since past 2 weeks. This time, I also express gratitude toward myself and the moment and that also helps me to push through, on days I feel it's difficult to make through!

Thank you. I needed to see this today. I committed to a daily practice almost 2 weeks ago. It is very difficult as I have little strength and am 20 lbs overweight right now. I’m trying to envision what one year from now looks like. I really hope I can get there. I appreciate this beautiful video.

So happy I came across your video. Love everything you said. I definitely needed to hear this. Your statement of stopping imagining yourself as this person and show up as her is something that I definitely needed, thank you so much for the motivation!💕

@julietmarshall7302 Год назад

Thank you for this video! I've been doing yoga on and off since I was 12, I"m now 21. But sometimes I stop for months and I feel really inflexible sometimes and dont push myself enough. But this video is so inspiring and well-made and can really now imagine myself transforming x

Thank you! You have no idea how refreshing and relatable this video was for me. I’m so grateful for your before and after videos. I really want to get into yoga and I struggle with being consistent but this video motivated me to focus on the act that I’m actually doing it rather than how awful I am at it today.

@orlamartin7564 Год назад

Hi! I stumbled on your video last night and it really spoke to me. I used to love yoga, though I never managed to hold a daily practice for very long, but still, I always came back to it and enjoyed it so much. But like you, having kids brought an end to many elements of my previous life and when I needed yoga most I stopped practising. Your message is so motivating because I share your inhibitions about getting back to yoga, and I really appreciate you showing how hard it was yet you continued. One thing that differs is I realised I have not been visualising my ideal self any more, even in my fantasies I stopped seeing myself as fit, strong, motivated, disciplined, and the kind of person who prioritises what is good and right for them and believes in themself. Ouch! Anyway, that was the most powerful take away for me and something I am going to consciously work on now. So, THANK YOU for this video and for sharing, you have really struck a chord with me and I’m very grateful for that wake-up call. 😊 P.S. I got up early this morning to do yoga

@yeraybritodelgado8882 9 месяцев назад

@angelawebb7676 2 года назад

This video is exactly what I needed to see. I’m so glad you posted your progress videos. I’ve restarted my highly modified Ashtanga practice and man it’s hard, but I’m determined to just meet myself on the mat everyday and see how far I get for that day. Little by little. Thank you so much!

@hycicle 2 года назад

Yes! Meeting yourself on the mat consistently is the way to go! Even if some days you don't make it, try to be be fully accepting of it and just come back again the next day!

@macamoura3016 Год назад

hey, your video just popped out on my home feed and so I watched it. I used to go to the gym where they have different kind of group classes and because I love yoga i tried Ashtanga for the first time and I fell in love with the practice. Few months later I quit because it was getting closer to my exams at uni and also I wasn't feeling like it was a good moment for me to keep spending time at the gym etc. It took me about a year to get back to practicing and exercising again and now I feel the struggle again but I know I will get better and feel better again. Great video keep up the good work :)

@anndm4825 Год назад

Went back to yoga just a month ago and was finally feeling confident enough to try something that was intimidating me for a while now. I did Laruga's Ashtanga video today and was wobbling, pausing and catching my breath while watching the poses I can't do right now. How you looked when you started was me this afternoon. I felt energized and inspired but a part of me was frustrated with myself for not pushing harder, for stopping and whining at certain points in the video. What you shared on this video a year ago was exactly what I needed to hear right in this moment. I remembered that I showed up today on my mat and I can show up again tomorrow and the day after, and the day after. That's what matters. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💜

Such an inspiring video. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your experience with us. I don’t know how I stumbled across this video but it showed up for a reason. Being practising ashtanga yoga for 2 years straight, but didn’t get the motivation to do it once I had my baby 3 years ago. Now I’m making excuses of all sorts not to show up and start the journey again. Your statement of “ I have visualised my ideal self long enough, it is time to show up as her” hit me so hard and I even cried a little. I really do hope you will receive the spiritual guidance and the strength from the universe to carry on doing what you love doing. Sending a big hug and lots of love ❤️

@Lindsey.Kinzinger 2 года назад

With the shame we feel in the way we look, I would say I’m the moment at least your trying and others may look up to you just for doing the yoga and may feel inspired so I’m your mind you may feel one way but you’re inspiring others around you subconsciously or not too! Also the feeling like you said with it should be the reason you get back on the mat. Once you start it really does feel so good! This is so inspiring and relatable, love it!

@MsSilentH 2 года назад

A simple, powerful video. You hit a lot of points that I think I didn't know about myself. Or, I probably did but pushed the ideas to the side and made other excuses. But I felt that, feeling heavier, weaker etc than I used to be, kind of just stopped me from really pushing through.

Your video is exactly what I needed to watch. After having my daughter two years ago and as an 'older Mum' I am feeling all the fears you had about your body right now. I just needed to hear that someone else felt the same and all it took was you to just start. I'm starting right now. Thankyou!

@hycicle 2 года назад

I’m so happy to hear that. I started making videos because I thought I surely can’t be the only person, especially the only mom, that feels the things I do. I am really happy to know this helped another mom! Please know you are the best mom for your child and you are supported and appreciated.

@lyndajones68 29 дней назад

I really needed to watch this video. I recently did a Yoga teacher raining course . Yoga helped me when i was suffering with anxiety and losing my father . The only time i could find peace of mind. I’ve been struggling to practice as i work away and work 12. 5 hours per day . But you just showed me over time and showing up NOW the person you desire , you will become that person . Thank you

These tips are so helpful. My mission for this year is to get strong and confident. And always to be healthy and fit. But now I am focusing more on the self love, confidence and strength. I enjoy yoga. You inspire me to do more because uts like you said, showing up is half the battle, after you do it you feel more energized. It's also like active relaxation, sometimes challenging. Thank you for posting this journey of yours. You got so strong in 3 months. 🙏

@hycicle 2 года назад

Hi Yvette, your comment as hit the nail on the head! This is not a video about yoga, but a video about self love. And self love is a lesson we all need to learn regardless of our age. Only when we truly love ourselves can we take full responsibility for ourselves and our actions. Let's change the world together by loving ourselves more. Thank you.

OMG! This gives me so much hope. I did it for two weeks, I started shaping up then the fatigue like wore me off and I stopped.

@hycicle 2 года назад

it's normal and the wanting to quit phase after the initial honeymoon period is also normal. there will be many more phases as you continue. just keep doing your best and love yourself for it!
