Twas actually nice to do this one after a restless night of sleep and and dream interruptions when I had fallen asleep, but it was time to get up.  Noted my ability to find those areas of tension and release them.  Watching the thoughts of a busy mind blow by.  I find myself going through this identify/release process often during the day.  I might give this one a try this evening as well.

I grabbed this one as I had a long night and wanted something quick to start my day.  It's amazing how a practice feels like it was designed for you, and is often the case it feels like Devi is speaking directly to you.  I had an injury some 7 years ago, breaking my clavicle and scapula which let me dimly dishearten.  The road to recovery slow, then yoga, then yin yoga was my path back.  This practice brought me into the very depth of how my body had responded, healed and had a new geometry, but one I know now I can work with.  As we moved to work with the left shoulder, my injury location, she said that if you had had an injury be careful and take it slow.  I worked deep into the muscles, aware of the energy, tightness and release.  I also found myself revisiting that runner that felt he had lost it all with a simple trip and fall.  I'm in a better place due to that fall, in so many ways...

Early morning appointment so I decided upon this shorter practice.  Very relaxing and calming.  Love the mindful directions, letting little worries dissipate for a time.  Great breath release and energy awareness.

Well a year and a half and my half saddles weren't half bad and my full saddle, in the intermediate pose you presented, good.  All the stretches came easily this morning and felt so beneficial.  Loved the greens in the background and you were in great form as usual...

Lots of great stretches packed into this 20 minute practice.  Loved the neck an shoulder stretches with the modifications you included.  It woke me up!!

I do admit I usually follow your cues, but I make it my own within the poses.  For me that's the nature of yin.  You help me find the nuances of the moves.

I strongly suspect if I go to heaven I will be greeted by someone telling me to roll my mat out for an eternal practice.  Lingered in the long stretches, moving just a little this way or that, finding the bull's eye on my target area.  I love yin yoga...

Really enjoyed this session.  Particularly you instructions during dragon really resonated with me and made targeting and following of ease.  I'm finding stretches beyond the "boundaries" I seem have with my body, it feels good and makes me feel more alive.  I moved easily into the missing poses as well, working with the silence as a tool.  Noticed the sound of insects.  I was born and raised in the Midwest so they were like familiar friends.

Yin moves as dusk fell...perfect.  I actually did this in the morning and was primed for a lot of vigorous yard work thereafter.  My shoulders are really feeling good these days.

I don't have an easy answer for this.  The more challenging poses, I don't dislike, but these are the ones that provide the gradual growth I've learned to love.  Breathing into the pose, the deep breaths, I had to work on, but now love the benefit I reap.  I recall that my introduction into saddle left me wondering if I was heading down the right yoga path, but understanding through your comments helped me take that at the pace I needed.
