Devi Daly I like to comment right after the practice, before the day has its chance to prey on my thoughts.  It's like the whisper in the ear of a secret each morning.  Noticing the unfolding of Life within us.

Boy that felt good.  Loved the blend of your voice and the ocean serenade.  The tip to adjust the shoulder while in a twist was something I've needed to work with for so long.  Careful attention and awareness throughout, so nice.  Thank you for sharing the Baja California Sur.  Noticed the clarity of you voice during the practice so bravo for that.

I benefit so much from the gradual and awareness given within each pose. This or that, that or this, and I am finding my best spot for the moment.  I've had a sore knee for some time which working with Yin over the past few months feels corrected.  Part of my issues was not paying attention to the proper placement or when moving too fast into the next position.  

The reading of a sutra each morning after practice seems to speak to each day, setting my mind off in the Oneness of it all.  I have now a larger bolster to follow along.  Its use and the little tips you provide have allowed me to better reach advances in positions.  Slow by surely, breath by breath.🕊️

The indescribable ease of presence, yet it is.  I look at my keyboard, for combinations to express, but they are not there.  Surprised, several poses I was able to move into deeply.  Focus on feeling rather than words.

"...and notice how you feel."  My body felt at rest while my spine, a column of energy.  My busy mind needed this medicine.

Sutra 26... "I belong here.  I am at home."  I found small advances today.  I love the presence explored during these stretches.  My mind kept telling me, this is your favorite time of the day, yet it is still here, with me.  What a beautiful balance you've shown me Devi.

My body is still settling down, yet the energy is still swirling around my spine.  It was the purest of joy being present in each move.  I love the moments that take me beyond words.  That's where you took me.

This practice allowed me to slowly and gently elongate my muscles, letting go of built-up tension of which I was both aware and unaware.  As often happens, I was left at session's end with a profound sense of tranquility and relaxation.  II always try to approach each practice with a beginner's mind.😊

We have to keep meeting like this...😉. Love the attention in everything and noticing how tight my shoulders are and areas there I need to focus.  Extraordinary practice!
