This Yin balanced well with my Yang tree planting of yesterday, although I wish now I would have done it last night so I would have slept better.  Gently way of targeting those places needed.

I loved working with the blocks through this serene practice.  Taking it slowly is allow me to discover new, best poses and adjustments for myself.  Blending body and mind with the scenery, with the calm of Devi's voice is pure bliss.  These practices are drawing me inward, with a little relaxation for the soul as well.

Nothing is better for me than thee.  I loved this basic, beneficial practice.  To practice with a beginner's mind takes me back, deep into the pose, exploring my growth from the past, showing me my progress.  Devi brings me into such a meditative state, her voice now instantly soothes me, and that smile at the end, it within itself a sincere sendoff of joy into my day.  I turned to the bookmark and it was sutra #75...which ends with:

Desiring and knowing,

Knowing and desiring.

Just for a breath,

Forget what you want.

Forget what you know.

Receive the real teaching,

The essence of Earth, Air,

Fire, Water, and Space.

Monica Patel Definitely worth the investment (in yourself).

I like butterfly as I am able to work so much within it.  Back, side stretches and groin of course.

Lovely way to start the day!

Relaxing, low-to-the-mat moments. My shoulders seem to have reached a milestone, now resting easily on the ground in my twists. What once felt almost unattainable, uncomfortable even, has transformed into a comfortable achievement through time and persistence. A lesson to remember. But, as those late-night commercials remind me, "Wait! There's more!"

Enjoyed the practice but there was some odd distortion at times. I needed an easy morning. Thank you 

Slept in this morning and then this.  I am finding "my" positioning more quickly and finding rest there.  In turn this is allowing me to gradually find new healing and I am noticing less aches in areas which had bothered me for some time.  Windshield wipers have never been a favorite of mine, but am finding that with them closer together of a more relaxing benefit.

Lots of insights found me this morning.  Greater "looking" into the the way my body needed to adjust enhanced so many poses.  I noticed a slight raising of Devi's feet as she moved into Puppy pose and I realized I had been focusing on my the bend of my back, rather than the shoulders.  I let my feet raise just a bit, and felt the magic.  I enjoy shoelace and liked the graceful way shown to move into it and the direction to that target area made it all the more. Understanding my skeletal and feeling the muscles and fascia made the sensations more deeper, while restful. I am learning the benefit of props more and keep them handy.
