Perfect timing!  I needed to relax.  Your instruction on upright swan was just what I needed to make adjustments to the pose.  As the mind slows down and focuses on the body and breath, the busy thoughts subside.  

Wonderful!💗

So much packed in this little package!  My goto when time is of the essence.  Even had my heart going at the end.  

Enjoyed exploring the variations in the poses and finding new benefits in the stretches.  Often these longer practices give my mind more time to unwind.  Loved the meditation session at the end and your guidance. 

I always like your comments as they provide a suggestion to me for one of those open days on my calendar.  Especially when I see its a practice new to me.

A night where dreamwork, lend itself to shadow work, shadows from the past opening up to be processed.  Mentally a bit weary, I found myself on the mat for this practice, which was like no other.  This was my platform for peace.  Feeling some issues melt away resolved, others asking for care.  These were major aspects of my past that had been brought forward.  The long poses so perfect.  I realized how often I take a breath through the mouth rather than nose, so I refocused.  The option for reclined butterfly (with prop) an excellent alternative today.  Sutra #65 followed and I am still taken back a bit on how they so often fit my day.  

Close your eyes and imagine

An expanse of terrible darkness surrounds you—

No objects, no light, no moon, no stars—

Nothing but blackness spreading to infinity.

Do not shrink in terror; do not turn away.

Give yourself to the blackness

With no hope of light.

Surrender completely.

Contemplating this feeling,

Merge with the mystery of night.

Whew!  Glad I didn't ask you. 😉. Seriously "when I was younger" spans several decades now.  I hesitate less, and take more immediate actions in life.  I think I am more understanding and accepting of others as well as myself.  I've learned to say no as well, and without the need of explanation.  

I loved this practice, the long periods in position.  Wonderful neck, shoulder and spine work.  The birds calls throughout were amazing.  I so grateful that you forged this path for your life, and thankful even more in that my path has crossed yours.

If one of your goals is to bring joy Into another's life, you've succeeded.  "Better" was the word that kept resonating as I found target areas that probably hadn't "stretched that way" in decades, and now ones I could "get into", both physically and mentally.  With a slightly odd frame, due to an accident, I discovered today that a pose I always struggled with, puppy pose, required I move one arm slightly higher in front of me while on the mat.  It made all the difference.  Targeting the reconstructed area is....amazing.  You've helped me make my life better.
