Great routine!  My arms are still feeling it!  I'll be doing this one more often and I need to better follow your flow.  Short but intense.  My BP was 124/70 this morning!  Elevated, but not in the warning zones.  Seems a big part of my issue was getting a good nights sleep and doing away with energy drinks.  My pup is doing well on some organic calming treats before bed and she sleeps much better through the night, which helps me.

Loved the focus on the feet!  Feet are my Achilles’ heel LOL.  I felt the strength the practice added to them as I made my doggy walk.  I will be treating myself to this one often.

Perfect practice as I waited for the power to be restored.  Enjoy the extended time in poses and how I can weave meditation into the gentle instruction throughout.  I found it useful understanding the details of the target area as I focused.  The silence of a house without power added to the calming stillness.  5 minute before end and the beeps and clicks of a home waking up greeted me like birds chirping at sunrise.

Tadpole was not a good starting point for me, but I eventually began to relax into the pose.  I noticed throughout that my knees feel so good of late.  Seems slow attentive practice has worked its magic.  I had a very peaceful night of sleep, so was pleased at the title and mood of this one.  New moon altar just might require a crystal for Devi...

I could hardly wait to tag this one a favorite.  So many golden nuggets of guidance throughout.  I love how you express what is yours, then help us make it our own.  The tush on the cushion really beneficial.  So good to find my own poses then travel deep within them.  A dose of Devi daily...just what the doctor ordered. 😁

Lots of soreness to work with.  Just raising my arms above, and then bringing them down in prayer is always a rush for my spine.  All the poses invigorating and relaxing both.  Great wake up call for this day.

I met the mat with HOA issues which were difficult to let go.  The breath is always good for me, to me.  I had to skip my morning tea to work a blood test in-between it and yoga.  Breaking up my routine has an odd effect on me.  My half saddles, my way, were good.  I seemed on auto pilot more through the practice.  I need to shake all this off....

Many, but definitely half saddle.  I focus on the target area, leaning back on a lazy boy.  I know this will be a gradual pose to move deeper into over time.  I have adjustments for many and if I land upon a pose that just isn't working for my I rest back into child's pose for its duration.

They gentle route is what its all about 🧘‍♂️. Great practice and start for the day.  Devi playing my spine like a bass fiddle.  Love those sutras!

I enjoyed revisiting this one, aware of the improvement in my knees over last time.  Calm and invigorating at the same time.
