Catching up today. The breath work at the start, and woven throughout, was grounding and welcome. The neck and shoulder release felt deeply personal and healing. I noticed a heightened awareness of my own geometry, discovering areas that asked for more care. Placing a cushion under my head during figure four brought unexpected precision to the stretch; I kept it there for reclined cobbler as well, which felt just right. Our Oms resonated together beautifully…

This was my very first chair yoga session, and I was genuinely surprised by how much I gained from the poses, even without the usual emphasis on legs and balance found in traditional postures. One small suggestion: for the short flow sequence (at 6:13), it might help to preview the steps before guiding us through it. Many of the movements require us to look away, so having that overview could make it easier to stay connected.  Loved the variety of poses provided.

#98 "Be wildly devoted to someone, or something.  Cherish every perception...."  The little tidbit about flexing (or not) the foot when the ankle is crossing the knee was so beneficial to work with.  The whole practice was both simple and Devine.  

So what I needed this morning.  Working through a sore hip from rocky hiking and biking this week.  Loved the long stretches and your wonderful guidance.  You make me slow down and draw out the benefits of these stretches.  Gentle pressure against the hips and hamstrings, just perfect.

For me it's a blend that finds me for the day. Deep stretching and inner stillness always.

Tagged this as a Favorite this morning.  Because I am mindfully improving on knowing my body my mind helping me fine-tune poses, especially those which challenge me.  I like having options with saddle as one day may be different from the next.  The sequence worked well for me and I like how I can easily incorporate moments of meditation into the stillness of a pose.

In this fast paced world I encourage everyone to take the time, and give it time, for Yin to work its magic.

I'll do a dragon as long as you want me to...😁. I followed the practice a week behind, which is how I suspect I will others.  Loved the attention to the feet.

Nice, gentle start to the week.🙂

After a deep, restful night, this practice was such an incredible blend of motion into morning.  Gentle moves to many poses of which I am conscience of knee care, yet all performed.  I felt the heat, the energy come on and build, then settle back down.  Such a beautiful embrace of Life you have learned to share....

Love finding the poses I once dreaded, now tools for my body and mind.  I read the news early today, so the start of the ride was bumpy, but slowly I came around.  It's odd how time is hard to judge on the mat, but the length of the poses were good.  The mediation and sutra were just what I needed at the end,  I now match your duration and I harmonize as well.  🙏

My own sutra for today #89 ended with "The One Who Has Always Been, Who has seen much worse than this, Is still here."  I'll take my cue from "The One."
