Heading out for a mini trip to the west coast, cabin overlooking the Northern Pacific for a couple of days.  I'll be my own teacher those days, but wanted to start the trek being gentle on my body and mind.  Devi's cues to awareness were so beneficial.  Time for last minute packing and then to hit the road...

Practice and peace when together.  2nd nature knowing now where the props might help and really letting the breath and gravity do their work.  Bring calm into day...

Enjoyed this practice and for me, the more graceful moves into each poses.  I was surprised at how my heart was pumping at the end, as I thought I was taking it easy.  I loved watching the colors of the desert slowly enhance with the sunrise rise and watching the shadows on the mountains.  

Your comments always make me what to do what you described next.

I really enjoyed this "find your own position" practice.  Using half shoe-lace for a hamstring stretch really works well for me.  "Let it be" was my theme for half-saddles and I found I could let the gradual work begin on what is a very tight area for me.  Time flew....

Wonderful!  So many issues I have faced and found that practice and patience have resolved or minimized.  

Arrived with so much tightness and this practice let me deepen into so much.  Loved the birds breaking my thoughts a they arrived.  You are such a wonderful instructor...

My troubled mind didn't find the space to prevail during this practice.  I took my time getting in "my" position for each pose and then lingered there, letting my breath and gravity work their magic.  Today's lesson is that truth is not always found in someone’s words, but in your own experience.  Moments on the mat and time with one's self might very well be the truth one is looking for...
