Nice, gentle start to the week.🙂

After a deep, restful night, this practice was such an incredible blend of motion into morning.  Gentle moves to many poses of which I am conscience of knee care, yet all performed.  I felt the heat, the energy come on and build, then settle back down.  Such a beautiful embrace of Life you have learned to share....

Love finding the poses I once dreaded, now tools for my body and mind.  I read the news early today, so the start of the ride was bumpy, but slowly I came around.  It's odd how time is hard to judge on the mat, but the length of the poses were good.  The mediation and sutra were just what I needed at the end,  I now match your duration and I harmonize as well.  🙏

My own sutra for today #89 ended with "The One Who Has Always Been, Who has seen much worse than this, Is still here."  I'll take my cue from "The One."

Deepening into the stretches...that's what I like about the longer holds.  I do my quad stretches (currently) just bending my legs up without grabbing or using a strap.  I am still finding the target area more and more without impacting my knees that seem to be sensitive to this pose.

Time crunch this morning so this one fit perfectly.  Nice way to wake up!

A perfect practice...🕊️

After a long trek, to a from a concert, this was the perfect morning wake up call.  Love "noticing" how my body and mind feel during each pose.  Thank you Devi!

My cushion a bit thicker than yours so I had to "adjust as needed" a few times.  I found a block under the back and a cushion under my head allow the initial pose.  I like the dear pose as it allows me to target the tightness that keeps me from coming all the way down on the floor without impact on my knees.  Tadpole is a nice stretch for me.  Best of all my busy mind moved aside for this time on the mat.  

With the new calendar and the new app I'm set!  Your new additions make it easy to practice and now with a great guide to the daily routine I practice.  No more guesswork (with the option to change it up if I choose.). I am looking for something fresh to read after each practice.  

What a great routine!  Using the wall really helped me enhance the resistance in my back, shoulders and inner thighs.  I also found the half saddles, using the straps a new way to work with that pose.  I liked the longer time spent in each and used it often to meditate and experience the available calm.
