Working with a bit of a strained back and shoulder (new growth) and this practice was ideal.  I love it when they pop-up within my reality.  I'm still rather amazed how I can "feel" the energy so directly now.

I found it so interesting, the brief mention of "stretch reflex".  I had a similar running mishap as you, but in my case my foot cause the bolted barrier mount and I went immediately from horizontal to vertical, landing on my shoulder.  I see there was no time for my reflex to activate.  

I like the move from half frog to a twist, it really is a ringer.  Even when I do a more yang series of poses I find the I want to linger, getting stretched out in a pose is so beneficial.

Devi Daly It’s so wonderful to know. I may have been mistaken in thinking that even Likes send a notification, but perhaps you were just adding a little something as a comment. Knowing that you’re reading them means so much to me, it’s become an important part of my experience, something I’ve grown accustomed to. I can’t imagine starting my day without yoga, and sharing it with you in your own way is deeply meaningful to me. 

So gentle I had to counter with ground prep for my wildflower garden.  But this put me in the mood.  I like the fact that my one knee that had been providing as sharp little pain at times is finally healed.  Attention and grace the keys....  And I really like the little moves with windshield wiper.  I am finally getting to where I like those moves.  I think my hips are loosening up enough for me to enjoy them.

Wonderful way to start the day!  A great way to end our 21 day series.

I did this one yesterday and it is becoming my go to quickie.  

Noticing newfound openness and stretchability in my body, yet today it arrived with a gentle awareness of sensation. I hesitate to call it soreness—it’s more of a deep, worked feeling, a reminder that I’ve explored my edges. With time and rest, I know this will integrate, bringing even more ease and expansion.

I actually found a pose that provided no real benefit for me, upright dragon.  I just couldn't find a target area to work with.  Dropping back down much better.  I haven't been getting notifications for a while and miss your replies or at least likes.  Overall it was a good set.

I needed a quickie this morning and this was perfect. Satisfied all the steps needed to move into the morning. Really feeling the deep Stretches these days. 

After a night spent channeling healing energy for another, along with working through the malice my mind had allowed into my heart, I awoke feeling drained, yet it felt purposeful. I embraced this state as part of my practice and chose to join you on the mat, seeking to rejuvenate my mind, body, and soul. Later, I read my sutra, gently touched the stems of my plants, and wished them a good morning. In return, I felt the energy flow back into me. I carry the peace and strength you’ve helped me cultivate into my day, quietly nourishing my heart and touching the lives of those I encounter, even if they are unaware.  🕊️
