Day 2 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 2 is hips & hamstrings. Hips are my nemesis & I thought my hamstrings were fine until I tried bringing both legs back while keeping my bottom down on the floor! One leg at a time for me, especially while getting licked in the eye from Charlie! #yoga #yogapose #yogastretch #stretch #hamstringstretch #hiponener #yogaathome #yogamom #ilovemydog #yogadog #charlieboy #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)

Day 🔟 of #ElementsOfFirefly ✨ #firefly #Tittibhasana - so I still have some work to do on this but the last 10 days worth of drills has definitely made a difference!!

Day 3️⃣ of #ElementsOfFirefly ✨ More hips and hamstrings today! This felt so good after going for a (very little!) run this evening- getting ever so slightly closer to the elusive leg behind head- am looking forward to seeing how this improves my #Firefly #Tittibhasana Video sped up x2.5 Wearing @blossomyogawear leggings Inspirational Hosts: ✨@susanbishopyoga ✨ @inspiremyyoga ✨ @shiziks Generous Sponsors: 🚀 @blossomyogawear 🚀 @blissmalajewels 🚀 @gym.attitude 🚀 @infinitystrap 🚀 @yogaleggs 🚀 @dontmesswithganesh Day 1 -Wrist Strengthening ☑️ Day 2 -Hip openers and hamstring stretches ☑️ Day 3 -More hips & hamstrings ☑️ Day 4 -Spinal mobilisation Day 5 -Stages towards Compass pose Day 6 -Abdominal strength Day 7 -Stages towards Elephant trunk pose Day 8 -Lunges Day 9 -Stages towards half fire fly half crow Day 10 -Stages towards Fire fly pose #yogafitness #warmups #yogastrong #yogapractice #yogatips #yogaalignment #yogaeverydamnday #dothework #yoga #asana #igfitness #yogapose #strength #yogisofinstagram #yogafit #yogainspiration #fitness #yogachallenge #benddontbreak #yogateacher #corestrength #igyogachallenge @igyogachallenges #wriststrengtheners #stepbystep #onebreathatatime #onthemat #blossomyogawear

Day 1 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 1 is wrist stretches! I love this stretch, placing my hands on the floor, palms up, and walking my feet onto my palms bringing my toes to my wrists. I'll bend & straighten my legs, rocking my weight forward toward my toes which press in toward the wrist creases. Relaxing my head, my spine, just hanging out 😊#yoga #yogapose #yogastretch #stretch #wriststretch #yogaathome #yogamom #breathe #namaste #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)

Day 10 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 10 THIS IS IT!! My attempt at Firefly! I know it's not the highest, the straightest, the best, or the most elegant, but this is the closest I've ever got to looking like I'm (somewhat) in the pose! The tip of squeezing my knees into my arms definitely helped! - My second picture looked awesome & was quite perfect until Charlie decided to hang off my leg & threw off my game....... only kidding, it was just the same as my first picture! 😂😂 🐶 Thank you SO much for this challenging challenge. I really learned a lot as well as facing my fear for firefly!! 😘😘😘🙏🏼 #yoga #yogapose #yogaathome #yogamom #yogachallenge #yogaprops #yogapractice #titibasana #firefly #hiponener #armbalance #charlieboy #yogadog #ilovemydog #instadog #dogsofinstagram #gooddog #namaste #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)

Day 9 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 9 is Half Crow - Half Firefly. Oh maaaaan! 😖 Crow pose, no problem, but adding the half firefly, yeah well... It didn't matter which leg I tried, the back of my thigh kept slipping down the back of my arm so I was barely able to get any lift in the leg. And there was just no way I could straighten it! I'm like a bird (crow) with a broken wing! 😂 Oh well I tried! Something to keep working on I guess! #yoga #yogapose #yogaathome #stretch #hipopener #yogamom #yogachallenge #trytrytry #crowpose #crowposevariation #armbalance #namaste #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)

Day 8 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 8 are Lunges & Lizardpose. This felt really great this morning, I woke up with my hips feeling really tight, after a few AMS & opening up my hips with 3 legged down dog, coming into this deep high lunge was just what my hips needed! And it was perfect height for Charlie kisses! #yoga #yogapose #yogaathome #stretch #hipopener #yogamom #yogachallenge #trytrytry #lizardpose #highlunge #lunge #alanasana #charlieboy #yogadog #ilovemydog #instadog #dogsofinstagram #gooddog #namaste #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)

Day 3 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 3 is more hamstrings & hips. I went with paschimottanasana, seated forward fold, I did try the "putting my legs behind my head" option, but trust me, I looked like a science project gone wrong! I do love this seated pose though. With each inhale pulling the hips back & growing longer in the spine, and with each exhale, releasing, relaxing, & surrendering deeper into the fold. My assistant is checking to see if I washed between my toes! Am I good to go Charlie?! #yoga #yogapose #yogastretch #stretch #surrender #release #hamstringstretch #paschimottanasana #seatedforwardfold #yogaathome #yogamom #ilovemydog #yogadog #charlieboy #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)

Day 4 of #ElementsOfFirefly Hosts @inspiremyyoga @susanbishopyoga & @shiziks 🌸 Sponsors @blossomyogawear @blissmalajewels @gym.attitude @infinitystrap @yogaleggs & @dontmesswithganesh 🎁 Day 4 is spinal mobilization. I chose janu sirsasana. You can see here how very different my hips are & the flexibility & range of motion I have/don't have. My hip replacement (right side) didn't decrease my R.O.M but it did get me out of pain, I will be forever grateful for that. I understand there are certain things I will never be able to do but if I focus on that I will truly be miserable, so instead I'll be thankful for what I can do & focus on that! #yoga #yogapose #yogastretch #stretch #surrender #release #spinalmobilization #hamstringstretch #janusirsasana #seatedforwardfold #yogaathome #yogamom #yvonnekellyfitness (at Calabasas, California)
