After yesterday's Hatha/Yin practice I noticed that the more rapid moves from one pose to another are ones I need to use extra attention upon.  This stretch and relax action helped me get to this places of soreness I had found.

Loved this wake up session.  I look at my comment from 6 months ago and how similar my thoughts are of to today.  😀

Instant Favorite!! Every moment was filled with goodness. I loved the rainbow-like twists, as my bones, cartilage, and fascia spoke through each movement. In meditation last night, I realized how Yin revealed both body and mind as teachers, reminding me that each practice offers wisdom, if I simply listen.

This practice reminded me of the "beginner's mind" which we should bring to the mat, each pose.  I was surprised that my forehead could touch my feet in cobbler. Additional stretches found good concentration on the targets.  I could get deep into deer pose as well.  I have an app which I used to monitor my weight and realized I hidden used it since May.  Hopped on the scales and I was only 1.5 lbs over my target weight.  I nice surprise.

I’m keeping to my usual rhythm, beginning each morning with Yin, which I love. I stay mindful not to push too far, honoring balance. Since alcohol isn’t part of my life, that’s easy. And rain or shine, walking the dogs keeps my heart strong and steady.

I've found over time I have learned to make so many subtle adjustments to move deeper within these basic poses.  Relaxing into them is an art of its own.  An older body, but one which feels incredible.  The river of Life, just going with the flow...

Bit of a sore knee today, so glad to have this practice to learn how to work around it, and benefit it I feel.  As always, love spending time in the stretches.  Wonderful way to start this day...

Great routine for my back and shoulders!  I found I need to move slower when going into camel.  LOL. Glad only my nonjudgmental dogs were watching. 

This was an interesting mix for me, this time.  I had a lot on my mind and found it revealing to observe what my mind was up to.  I normally do a more detached, empty meditation, but enjoy those were I am not directed to visualized anything.  I have aphantasia so I don't "see" things in my mind as most do.  I have found that this actually helps me in my meditation.

I keep returning to this Favorite when I have a busy morning, but need my Yin.  This practice is so good for my shoulders!
