Fantastic practice.  I used the pranayama breath work throughout the poses.  Loved working with the energy. 🙏

Perfect for mindful recovery.  🙏

Perfect. I really needed the mindful movement today, and the preview window helped me settle right in. Quick, yet so invigorating, exactly what my body was asking for.  Beneficial as I get back into the "swing" of things...

Revisited this little gem.  My body is healing and this practice let me gently move further as I recover.  It never hurts to pull a little Universal energy into one's heart...

I never thought of trying them in bed.  I have a wedge there for sleeping.

Still cautious, but only a hint in the healing area. This restful movement compliments the less conscience moves through the day.  Downward dogs and side twists still not on my menu, but today felt good, as though I turned a corner.  I see below that knees pain from a year and a half had healed at that time, and as I think now, never returned.  So a message from myself from the past, to be patient for the future post of recovery.

I blended thought with that target area and the healing area with my oblique so the absence of cues helped my concentration stay fixed.  Taking "baby steps" and feeling better each day.I can sense my body mending.

I was able to adjust to poses well and modify those that would have stretched the oblique.  It feels good to work areas that need it, while be patient with the healing.  Always appreciate the sutras which you introduced me.  Such a wonderful addition to my life.

I did this practice with modifications to avoid stretches on my left side oblique.  Interesting that I am learning how this group of muscles are related to others.  Still taking things gradually, but the rest of my body is benefiting from the movements.  Still sore, but I'm getting there.
