Enjoyed the stretches but found it odd transitioning into some of the positions this morning.  Staying in the positions for longer felt good and right.

Enjoyed the focus on the hips and they way you kept things moving.  The wall work was a great starter for this session.

Loved this quick concentration on all the major groups.  A cushion under my knees and blocks made me recall how the once feared dragon had been slayed, now a favorite pose (with various variations of course).

So many unique and wonderful moves to explore.  Such a warm sensation in my middle back at practice end.  Opened the sutras to see what I would find.  Verse 103. 

Abandon all these attitudes 

Of wanting to prolong pleasure

And avoid suffering.

Let the heart be itself and feel

Whatever is there.

Freed from clinging and avoiding,

The heart regains its poise

And revels in creation.

Plunging deep into its center,

Discover that the heart is moved

By a pulse that is everywhere.

Found myself getting deeper into both happy baby and figure four today.  I like noticing small advances.  Namaste took a deeper meaning too for me today.  Namaste...

Beautiful practice.  A perfect counter to the activity of the day before.  Released both muscle tension and mind tension.  Just the right duration of holds.

Something sparked my spirit when I read the word "bolster."  By practice end, and still, my spine and back muscles are so energized.  Loved how I could enhance the stretch in nearly every pose.  Have I ever told you this is the best part of my day?  ...I thought so 😉

It only takes a moment to discover the beauty in a day. Thanks for sharing yours.

This was a wonderful practice.  Coaxed deeper into the stretches to the sounds of the waves.  I really love Yin.  It has such profound effect on my life and I credit my teacher as well as myself.
