New: 35 Minute Somatic Reset

Today’s practice is a gentle full body stretch with somatic and yin elements. It was filmed at the Creekside in Yosemite Valley, and you can hear the water and the birds throughout the video. Hope you enjoy!

It’s been a whirlwind of summer travel, and I’m now back at home recovering. Here’s a fun pic from dance camp last month.

Have you gotten a chance to do the recent Stretch & Chill class? It’s a special one that I recorded at a guesthouse south of Yosemite. It’s a calming class perfect for evening or anytime you need to unwind. You can actually watch the sun setting over the trees behind me throughout the video. 😊🧡

Looking for advise, please:

I travel, a LOT! This means sitting on a plane 4-6 hours frequently each week. Plus the Uber rides…

I try to do what I can stretching out at the airport prior to boarding, but am looking for possible standing, airport appropriate pose suggestions.

Thanks in advance 💜

What’s one pose you didn’t like at first but have grown to love?

For me, it’s reclined butterfly. When I was younger, I felt nothing in this pose — but now, in my 51 yo vessel, it gives me a sweet gentle stretch 😌

Hi

I've never done an in-person yoga class, have only followed a couple of YouTube yogis. Have been trying to commit to a daily practice for the last 2 years. It's hard to know how my form is, but since finding Devi I feel a lot more comfortable in my practice, her instructions are so easy to follow. Looking forward to following and interacting with you all. I'm from New Zealand.

In one word, how do you feel after a yin practice?

Soft. That’s the word that often comes up for me after yin. Softer body, softer mind. What word comes to mind for you?
