Wanted some Devi time, so I revisited this practice.  As I breathe deeper into the poses, I’m noticing that the next day I can really feel the work in my joints, muscles, and back. It’s as if I’m sensing the deeper stretch as part of a growth process, relaxing into the poses while still growing stronger.  These are wisdom workouts for me.  You know how to move me gracefully from one pose to the next without impeding the meditation, that clear spot, I know throughout them.  I find this fascinating.

Purely wonderful.  Healing from some blue light treatment and this moved my mind to a calmer place.  I'm improving in so many ways.  What more could one ask (work) for...  Wanted to note: Sutra 24, so perfect as my morning reading.

I let a word come to my mind during each practice.  Today is was "meaningful."  You have brought a greater meaning to my practice and hence my life Devi.  I think it's so important to let those who have impacted your life to know.  So there it is....🌀

So many small advances noticed today.  Really letting Devi guide me.  Her experience transferred to my own.  Learning where my block helps.  Spine electric and vibrating....  Love how the sutras, this day 22 compliment the practice as I end:

"Behind the spine is infinity.

Below the perineum,

Invisible pulsating roots

Open downward into space.

The heart is wide as a spiral galaxy.

Steadily consider

Back, root, heart,

And know the living body of vastness

That you are."

I really loved moving attention to so many different areas, while blending the breath to deepen each pose.  "Your back is a gateway to the sky. The celestial dance, The story of space and time, Is coded in the spine." I deeply admire you Devi and I feel it a blessing to have you in my life. You inspire me every day.

Calming practice and test of resilience as my Internet went down during the middle.  😂  Love the suggestions on using the blocks.

Looking for a shorter practice I found this gem.  Meditative throughout, while working deep into my shoulders and all connected.  Found the cat tail pose so amazingly beneficial, letting me revisit areas that. craved attention.  This was a beautiful practice and the reading to the sutras a wonderful surprise.  I will weave is 30 day challenge into my calendar.

Devi Daly With each encounter you touch my soul, this soul the Universe.

Wow, that was truly profound. I felt a deep sense of connection to my feminine side and could sense old patterns releasing. It was as if my body and spirit found a harmonious place to dwell.  So transformative Devi. Gently working my joints was wonderful.  Awareness of more intermediate work for me to grow with as well.

Such deep stretches today.  Actually sat in full saddle, leaning back, not to the ground, but one day...  Thoroughly enjoyed this time one the mat.  Learning to let go is a great lesson, every day.
