What I’d appreciate most is deeper, more authentic relationships. I sometimes struggle to find like‑minded people, so I’m hoping for more connection and more harmony with the people already in my life

This was incredible!  So much goodness in each pose.  I am really understanding more how to relax and deepen into each.  My shoulders and back, reengineered from the past, reached at so many levels of healing.  I reminded myself to mention modified puppy pose with elbows, reaching tightness stored.  The energy at the end, massive.  Spoken to on a hidden plane.  You have a gift which you share.

I found I really like (and benefit) working with blocks during dragon.  I keep a cushion under my knee as they tend to hurt at times.  Also an insight for me today was while in twist, I found so much tightness in my pectoral muscles.  I placed a block for the hand to rest upon and the allow me to target each more directly.  I think I found a place were I have been holding tension for years.  Very meditative finish...

Such a rich practice today, one of those sessions where time just disappears. For all the dragon slayers out there, once you find your position and settle into the target area, the ease and benefits will unfold. Take it slowly, listen to your body. Rest on your elbows if your wrists need support. Most importantly, don’t miss out on this beautiful stretch.

Back to a beloved practice today. The session offered wonderfully relaxing stretches that opened up my sides and back while easing my shoulders. The guided relaxation at the end was truly divine. 

Each practice seems to arrive just when I need it. Yesterday’s poses left me with both growth and a tender awareness in my back. This morning I felt fine, and then came today’s session, an invitation to surround the spine with care, attention, and breath. Deep inhales clear away the busy thoughts of the day ahead. Right now, I feel good… and truly, what more could I ask for?

I’ve ordered thirty-five bare root plants, Douglas Fir, Quaking Aspen, Bitter Cherry, and Evergreen Huckleberry, that will arrive in February. As I walk my property, I envision them growing tall and full, shaping the landscape with their presence. These trees and shrubs will stand long after I am gone, a living legacy rooted in this place.🌿

"Straight up, no frills Yin". I knew you were serious, so I took every move same.  I love how extended poses lend themselves to attention, to meditation.  Your voice seems seamless with the wonderful background music.  Loved the new half-puppy pose for me.  I reached so many areas needed.  While in twist I thought about how to focus not on what the body can't do, or what I'd like it to do, but rather what my body does, and rest there.  This seemed to direct my attention to the benefits found within the moment, allowing the mind to still.  I always like that smile at the end of practice, it mirrors the one of my own...

After yesterday's Hatha/Yin practice I noticed that the more rapid moves from one pose to another are ones I need to use extra attention upon.  This stretch and relax action helped me get to this places of soreness I had found.

Loved this wake up session.  I look at my comment from 6 months ago and how similar my thoughts are of to today.  😀
