#98 "Be wildly devoted to someone, or something.  Cherish every perception...."  The little tidbit about flexing (or not) the foot when the ankle is crossing the knee was so beneficial to work with.  The whole practice was both simple and Devine.  

So what I needed this morning.  Working through a sore hip from rocky hiking and biking this week.  Loved the long stretches and your wonderful guidance.  You make me slow down and draw out the benefits of these stretches.  Gentle pressure against the hips and hamstrings, just perfect.

For me it's a blend that finds me for the day. Deep stretching and inner stillness always.

Tagged this as a Favorite this morning.  Because I am mindfully improving on knowing my body my mind helping me fine-tune poses, especially those which challenge me.  I like having options with saddle as one day may be different from the next.  The sequence worked well for me and I like how I can easily incorporate moments of meditation into the stillness of a pose.

In this fast paced world I encourage everyone to take the time, and give it time, for Yin to work its magic.

I'll do a dragon as long as you want me to...😁. I followed the practice a week behind, which is how I suspect I will others.  Loved the attention to the feet.

Nice, gentle start to the week.🙂

After a deep, restful night, this practice was such an incredible blend of motion into morning.  Gentle moves to many poses of which I am conscience of knee care, yet all performed.  I felt the heat, the energy come on and build, then settle back down.  Such a beautiful embrace of Life you have learned to share....

Love finding the poses I once dreaded, now tools for my body and mind.  I read the news early today, so the start of the ride was bumpy, but slowly I came around.  It's odd how time is hard to judge on the mat, but the length of the poses were good.  The mediation and sutra were just what I needed at the end,  I now match your duration and I harmonize as well.  🙏

My own sutra for today #89 ended with "The One Who Has Always Been, Who has seen much worse than this, Is still here."  I'll take my cue from "The One."

Deepening into the stretches...that's what I like about the longer holds.  I do my quad stretches (currently) just bending my legs up without grabbing or using a strap.  I am still finding the target area more and more without impacting my knees that seem to be sensitive to this pose.

Time crunch this morning so this one fit perfectly.  Nice way to wake up!
