Commented on Peaceful Morning Yin

Still recovering, but this session let me practice gently and with good modifications. I could target helpful areas while being careful with what seem to be healing left‑side intercostals and oblique muscles. Deep breathing is almost back to normal, so the Oms at the end felt great.

As I continue healing from my fall, I stayed with only the most minimal poses, shifting whenever a shape no longer supported me. What emerged was a deeper truth, that my mindful meditation practice has widened into a rich, embodied awareness through Yin and through your guidance. These slow, intentional movements keep revealing small, unexpected insights, reminding me that even in adversity, understanding can bloom.  Hope you sense my gratitude.

I feel much better today.  The past couple of days I did a gentle practice with major modifications.  Today it was listening to the music and pacing myself with your voice.  You have showed me so well how to focus attention on my body.  The small moves, breath and adjustments let me target areas that were fine while avoiding anything that would not.  I know where the strain is and will baby it for a while.  I think I am addicted to your voice.  LOL

I feel much better today and skipped this morning’s practice. I feel i can gradually get back into the routines. Thank you for your great advice

Great practice.  The shoulder attention was grounding, and the gentle background music softened everything. Like many mornings, I slipped into a body‑meditative state, present and quietly awake.

Great practice. 😊

One thing I have learned, of many, is how to relax.  I am keenly aware of where the tension is held and can adjust my breath and body to immediately accommodate it.  This was evident to me in this practice.  Another gift is when you read a sutra.  Something I will always be grateful you made me aware.

Enjoyed the stretches but found it odd transitioning into some of the positions this morning.  Staying in the positions for longer felt good and right.

Enjoyed the focus on the hips and they way you kept things moving.  The wall work was a great starter for this session.

Loved this quick concentration on all the major groups.  A cushion under my knees and blocks made me recall how the once feared dragon had been slayed, now a favorite pose (with various variations of course).
