Traveling mercies!

The energy of the moon drawing closer was moving both good and bad to the surface within me.  This practice provided the perfect time for contemplation and balance.  

I really liked the progression of poses and duration of each.  I've learned my half saddles, done to reach my target area, work beautifully with a pillow and lazy-boy as props at my back, letting me move deeper as my body stretches more over time.  

There is a joy brought to life with these movements, waiting in the stillness.

Absolutely loved this longer time, mindfully spent in the poses.  The cues to return to stillness were so guiding, beneficial and complimented the bird cues.  My wacky shoulders always struggle with shoulder stretches but today I exaggerated my positioning and made it my own.  Peace, Love & Devi...

Wanting something a bit longer I chose this favorite today and quickly found why I tagged it such.  I felt like it was cradling my old modified frame and at the same time giving me a glimpse of the progress over the years and particularly those with Yin.  I've had a lot on my mind lately, but no time for that on the mat, moving through such great, guided, stretches, bathed in the breath.  I suppose Life just knew what I needed...a good dose of Devi Daly.💗

Where is this island?  I'm ready to go....

Wind picks up, trees swaying, gentle practice, that's all I'm saying....

I'm starting to sense shorter practices are not enough.  I will probably start choosing longer ones from my favorites and adding them to My Calendar so I have a easy choice each morning.

Always great to work my shoulders and neck!  And who doesn't need a ease the stress these days....

Back to where I started.  It was nice to reminisce on the mat today during the now familiar poses and the Yin method.  Some random search lead me to what would be a new phase in my life. I'm grateful that our two paths did meet.  Along with the insight,  I found both teacher and a friend.

Soooooooothing.................. 🙂
