Spent my time going deeper into the poses and finding the surprising places of tension I could relax, then go deeper still.  The music was a perfect compliment and I couldn't resist peeking at the beautiful scenery from time to time. The deep breathes to start and end...Life...

I woke and decided to experiment with this bedtime treat.  I wasn't disappointed.  I had had a stressful day and a restless night.  This was like meditation.  The thoughts that floated by through the stillness gave me time to examine them, give them attention and perspective (from the outside so to speak.). So this was a mellow morning routine for me, and is so often, right for this day.  Voltaire said "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."  By the constant direction and encouragement to find my own "best way" I am opening up restorative actions that are really helping me feel better.

Today sutra #72 was a favorite.  Just as practices here and rock and roll bands, I allow myself many, many favorites.

Intimate, sensual, spiritual.... "There is no mind.  There is no intellect.  There is no ego.  I am pure consciousness.  I am pure Being.   How the sutras blend practice into the moment.  Ecstasy...

"Enjoyment" is the word that resounded through this practice.  Love the detailed focus of your words as they take me more keenly to the target areas.  Bending my legs in new ways and gradually finding progress.  Love the little rewards along the way.  Your voice make me feel these actions.

I just checked and it’s fee to me on audible!  Sweet   I can tell I will cherish it in hard copy as well. I’ve already felt I’ve met an old friend. 

Nice blend. I felt strong, except my balance, which was off on my left side, and not good overall as usual.  Loved getting into the yin at the end, but also finding I can work with poses in yang better when applied there as well.  “This body is made out of heaven, out of the infinite sky stretching away in all directions.” #69. This As I thought about our practices, "We meet in the same place, yet from different directions - coming from the same point but with our varied paths. The past feels so near, almost although yesterday, yet it belongs to a time decades ago."

Just what I needed this day.  Benefited from these back, chest, thigh, and shoulder actions.  I noticed the books stacked in the corner and wondered what else you might have for reading and reference.  I also noticed that with the turn of the page in the Resonate Sutras, tomorrow will bring me to #69.  Sort of a mini-goal I've been waiting for, as Devi mentions it as a favorite.

I'll fit the new practice in tomorrow, today was a revisit to the beginning.  I love how the gentle guidance lends itself to deeper meaning and experience.  Finding tension where I thought I'd little, moving slowly into the beautiful place of stillness.  So many places I could have lingered.  Then a savoring of the sutra "...the glistening emptiness, the reality behind appearance."  Thank you for brushing away the thoughts I had arrived, and taking me once again down this path you have found.

A little quicker pace than I expected, combined with some new moves, but I'll be ready the next time this one rolls around.  Worked well with my blocks as I am learning when to grab and where to place them for them for "me".  A great way to greet this day!

Exploring the sensations with Devi and a bolster. What a beautiful gift. If ever asked if I believe in heaven I can simple tell them, sure, I've already been there...
