Slept in this morning and then this.  I am finding "my" positioning more quickly and finding rest there.  In turn this is allowing me to gradually find new healing and I am noticing less aches in areas which had bothered me for some time.  Windshield wipers have never been a favorite of mine, but am finding that with them closer together of a more relaxing benefit.

Lots of insights found me this morning.  Greater "looking" into the the way my body needed to adjust enhanced so many poses.  I noticed a slight raising of Devi's feet as she moved into Puppy pose and I realized I had been focusing on my the bend of my back, rather than the shoulders.  I let my feet raise just a bit, and felt the magic.  I enjoy shoelace and liked the graceful way shown to move into it and the direction to that target area made it all the more. Understanding my skeletal and feeling the muscles and fascia made the sensations more deeper, while restful. I am learning the benefit of props more and keep them handy.

Very relaxing and fun playing with my props.

On the road so this one perfect to work in a practice while others slept. Feeling awake and alive. Loved the soft voice and beautiful background.

Great routine and beautiful location!   Finding my own version really helped me target areas, linger and grown in my stretches.  Very comfortable flow.  Time flew by...

I now have an old favorite!  I see I praised this practice back when I started.  So much more depth and attentiveness now.  These really helped me manage better rest in the poses and the blocks also help me ease any strain on my wrists.  Love using blocks and I am going to place them near me each practice to explore more.

This was perfect.  It complimented the quiet, gray morning.  I relished the "nothingness" while holding each pose, the being in the moment.Found the transitions from each graceful.  Using the breath to deepen more and more.

Enjoyed finding my own pose modifications and the mat and sensing what's best.  Busy day but the mindfulness was with me, and paused often to utilize the breath.

I like shoelace best I think, but square is an option I take from time to time.  I blend meditation into every pose but liked the suggestions, watching thoughts that did visit.  I have two dogs that watch (sleep) during my morning practices so your pups made me smile.  I am always dealing with pups.  Loved the birds chirping now and then.  Now I'm ready for the day.

I did the Chakra Meditation With Baja Mantras durning the night.   It's a goto now when I need to find my way back to sleep. I sing in my mind, exploring what the vibrations sense.

Plenty of nourishing time for my shoulders and spine. I appreciate how practice helps me ease through and work around a mild sinus headache. Another beautiful fall day is unfolding, already off to a wonderful start.
