You know what? That is ok. I definitely have favourites. And it is mighty hard to please everyone!

There we go! That wasnāt so hard was it? In all honesty, there are some poses that I often substitute (tho Screaming Toe is a favourite). And youāre absolutely right, the more you do it, the easier it gets.

Thank you. That is my goal, always. To keep the videos as clear and straightforward as can be. And to take myself out of them as much as possible. But youāre right, that some of the sequences just arenāt going to be accessible for everyone at the outset. Itās a bit of a journey!

Yes. That makes sense. I sometimes struggle to breathe in and out through my nose in Child and Puppy where my forehead is on the mat. Thatās ok. Nasal breathing does not always need to be maintained. Relaxed breathing is good. And youāll get there with practice. No doubt. Maybe even with your current body!

Variety is pretty key in movement sessions but you certainly do not need to do them all. Picking and choosing is smart.

@abicarver I can understand the concept of picking and choosing, but how is one supposed to know which to pick and choose? I have a stretching routine that works well for me. Adding the elements of Ianās morning routine is having additive value. There are 63 Yoga routines on Systm.
Please donāt misinterpret what I am saying. I know that they have value to many. I am glad that people here are finding benefit in the program. I just have no idea what may or may not be of additional help to me over and above what I do now and, no idea what to pick and choose, or the patience to try 63 routines in a discipline that I am not a big fan of (no offense intended) to find out. Not trying to be critical or argumentative, just being honest.

Maybe we need some yoga-related challenges that give a reason to do some of the workouts that we might not have otherwise done.

Hey Sir Stuart, I provided you with a curated list of 16 to help you. Iām not kidding when I say I hate yoga. Take a look at any one of the 16 
or in the library, read the description and maybe give one a shot. The titles are often enough to describe what the focus is.

Sir Glen, I saw the list and I appreciate the effort. But I donāt think it addresses my issue. I am not in need of more workout time. I have a limited time and I try to spend it wisely. I did Ianās morning routine and found elements of it (not all) of additive value. Perhaps if I tried all 63 or your 16 I may find something else of value. I am certainly not ruling that out.
But two important points. First, there are workouts for Cycling (352), Mental Training (21), Running (129), Strength & Mobility (76), Swimming (77) and Yoga (63). I canāt do all of them nor am I interested in doing all of them.
Second, per your suggestion of looking at the title, I have gone farther than that, to read the descriptions and see what the program offers. Do me a favor and look at the very first Yoga routine Back Strengtheners and look at the picture. I am 67, there is no way even in GvAās twisted mind that I can do that.

lol! You and me both Sir, hence, not on my list. Also, thatās one of the few that are actually longer than 15 mins so that in itself is for me a deal breaker.

Didnāt we used to have some yoga challenges?
Iām by no means a yoga nerd, but I very much appreciate the benefits to flexibility and injury-prevention that @abicarverās videos bring. I go by the descriptions in the videos so far as areas I need to focus on any given day, but it might be nice to have a list or chart somewhere that lays that out for us.

OK so yeah, thatās pretty gruesome, but donāt sell yourself short, Sir @Critmark! Could be a crazy, long-term goal in the making. I for one dread that handstand-y one. Trying to work on that w/o pitching forward and breaking my nose.
A wise woman once said:
āOne of the main reasons that people are reluctant to try yoga is that they donāt think they are flexible enough. however the beauty of yoga is that you start from wherever you are, and that the more you practice, the more flexible you become.ā
At least I think I heard that somewhere onceā¦

Have you looked at some of the mobility workouts?
They range from 6-8 minutes in length.

For a constructive solution, would it make sense in each Yoga description to add a list of the positions that are used in the video? Like how the Strength workout descriptions currently work?
I think that would be helpful for me. I know Iāve also skipped some of the Yoga workouts specifically because of the thumbnails. But I have tried a few that looked difficult, but found that how the moves are incorporated into the flow actually help me get closer to actually doing them than I ever thought possible. Or, that particular move is only used once and I can do all the rest. And sometimes, even, an alternative is suggested in the video.
All of those things would help me try out a few of the Yoga videos I havenāt tried, yet. Because Iām usually looking for hips, hamstrings, groin, and back stretches. But Iāve found that some moves and workouts I hadnāt considered help me just as much if not more than the ones Iām familiar with and default to.
So I agree, more information in the descriptions of each Yoga workout would be a lot more helpful. Like knowing more about what āYin for Runnersā meant. And what the goal of each flow is. Because Iāve found the Yoga and Strength videos help me a lot more than I ever expected. So more descriptions would help me better pick out the ones that would help me best each day instead of just picking my favorites all the time or being afraid of trying some because of the thumbnails.
