I loved listening to that water gurgling during this practice.  I felt as on an ancient ball of creation.  I kept peaking to see if it would go off!  LOL. It was great to see the man behind the camera.  Care to share how you two met?  😁

Great extended practice.  Planning a kayaking trip today so felt this prepared me.  Liked the optional sleeping swan variations.

It will be interesting to see how this works for others. I practice yoga and meditation daily. Even the competition I had with myself has faded over time. It’s just a part of life now.

Tagged as a Favorite and very meditative for me.  My Lazy-Boy prop perfect for the half-saddles.  Gentle moves lend themselves to deeper work within the target areas, so beneficial!  For the past few days, during meditation, I have had a pronounced, warm, glowing surround the length of my spine.  In part I suspect to the work I've been doing with Yin.

I did #3 today and really enjoyed it.  Time needed on the mat.  

#107: ..."Luminosity permeates the universe, And the secret sound that hums Everything into existence, Resounds everywhere.  Listening to the inner sound continually, Become lovers with the Secret One.

In a pinch for time so opted for the Favorite of mine.  Yummy stretches with a meditative wake up.  Perfect way to start the day....🌇

Do what's best and skip the rest.  🙂

This practice turned out to be all about the knees, or rather how I have learned to recognized the focus needed on the target areas, and the muscles that affect the knees and engage them mindfully as well, rather than adding tension and strain to them.  

Sounds a bit strange but this was the theme I found today.  After wrestling with a washer and dryer install yesterday I need a full body, extended practice.

Someone brought up chair yoga yesterday, which they said was "all the rage" on the internet.  I mentioned I recently did it, but I do Yin.  When they frowned I said it was a restorative type, a fascia stretch.  Interrupted someone said "Oh Bob is great at yoga" which I took to mean they knew I do it each day.  I told them "Well I know how to work with my body type."  Now that I think about it, I suppose I am great at it...😉

Woke with a sore hip, most likely from biking and hiking of late.  Thought I might do something for the hips, but then proceeded with this one nonetheless.  So glad I did.  Gentle release and stretches just want I needed.  Love the breath work too. This one tagged as a Favorite.  (To note: I'm not aware that you know the focus was going in and out during the recording.)
