I really found the expanded frog pose beneficial.  It pulled on my groin muscles in way that demonstrated to me how tight mine were.  Again I felt a real spinal energy at the end of practice.

Very meditative.  Heard your voice at times.  :)

45 minutes of bliss.  The extra time in poses is so beneficial, deepening and adjusting.  I sensed a lot of the tightness I take for granted easing today, noticing small areas of release.  Time shared wit the bird's calls was so delightful.  

Forget all of your ideas about the body—

It’s this way or it’s that way.

Just be with any area of it,

This present body,

As permeated with limitless space,

Drenched in freedom.  Sutra #23

I woke need a sense of calm.  You provided it.  At practice end my entire back felt of pure energy.  Here's a video that captures the thought I think we all share of you.  https://youtu.be/XqLTe8h0-jo?si=yI_1CYAATlS3c8aZ

Added it to my calendar...

So many great, long stretches!  Appreciated the suggestion to count breathes through most of the poses.  Loved the moves from lunge to leg extended, to threading the needle.  I walk the dogs right after practice so it compliments that activity nicely.

Nice.  I don't think I've done this one so I added it to my calendar.

I had no answer for this one and I thought and thought about it.  It reminded me when people would ask me what my favorite rock band was...I couldn't name merely one.  While in the moment and moves and stretches I find such value in each, even the challenging ones, even when I faultier.  So maybe I will choose star.  Star is a point where I can take it all in, one moment...alive.
