Yin moves as dusk fell...perfect.  I actually did this in the morning and was primed for a lot of vigorous yard work thereafter.  My shoulders are really feeling good these days.

I don't have an easy answer for this.  The more challenging poses, I don't dislike, but these are the ones that provide the gradual growth I've learned to love.  Breathing into the pose, the deep breaths, I had to work on, but now love the benefit I reap.  I recall that my introduction into saddle left me wondering if I was heading down the right yoga path, but understanding through your comments helped me take that at the pace I needed.  

This encompassed everything.  Loved the long, linger stretches, the breath work, the relaxation into the poses.  The music fit perfectly.  The sequencing of them was great too.  Began practice wishing 40 minutes was 30.  Ended wanted 40 to be 50.  

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...
