Time flies by with this practice.  Found great relaxation in the postures today.  Heard the wind whipping up outside as I took this minute pauses to feel the energy inside me.  I really love Yin.

This is my goto practice when I'm in a hurry and want to feel extra good.  I hope some day you will consider providing a playlist function for us.  I would really be of benefit.

Loved this.  The extra time spent in each pose allowed me to find deeper stretches and advancement.  Getting to know my body more and more as time passes.  A little yang blended throughout, but gently and almost unnoticed.  

Nice, quick practice for the windy day here, just enough time left to walk the dogs before it rains.  Sutra #104 read

"Holiness permeates everywhere.

Senses cannot grasp it.

Images cannot represent it.

It is totally free—

Free to appear as form,

Free to be beyond form.

Heart and body and mind in unison,

Attend to the unimaginable.

In the intercourse of unknowable and known,

An awakening will be born in you

As you join with that reality

Which you already are."

Took the easier route this morning, revisiting this practice.  Mindfully taking each instruction to heart and breath.  I couldn't move directly into saddle so I settled for a half saddle on each side.  I've thrown a set of socks among my props for those colder mornings.  It really made a difference relaxing.  Great and grateful stretch throughout.  

I got to practice me 1/4 saddles and Lazy-boy saddles and both were better than before.  This is going to be one of the slowly but surely poses for me.  I am working on keeping my chest and abdomen straight and centered doing them.  You make it look so easy.  Minor adjustments are helping me take care with areas like my knees in the poses.

This was your birthday present to me.  Thanks!  After a great night's sleep and meeting the mat, I am ready for the day.  You've given me a really wonderful gift.

I really enjoyed this practice this morning and the slow flow helped me get into my saddles much better today.  My full saddle-Lazy-Boy pose is really coming along.  I love how yin gets my mind off the things I don't really need to be dwelling on.  Extra thanks to Konrad for the sound-check! 😉

I needed to fall back into love with the moment. This is where you left me. I hammered out the little melody of this practice on my dulcimer after practice, taking it into my day...

Back on the mat today, though my knee is a little tender. I suspect I might have pushed too hard during side saddle the other day—patience is always key! Moving carefully through the poses, as often happens, I found relaxation to be the best remedy.

At the start of class, I like to sit as you do—so upright and balanced. Though I often find myself leaning to one side, I’m making progress! Today, I really tuned into the sensations of my body, practicing the art of letting go in both mind and body.

While tidying up a few days ago, I rediscovered some great portable knee pads I bought years ago. They've now joined my props collection and are already making a big difference. Little adjustments like this are part of the joy of the journey!
