My first time with Yang and Devi.  Invigorating start to a finish almost as lovely as the view.  Benefited from the directions in warrior poses.  Turns out I was often more concentrating on the upper body rather than lower. I actually laid back during half saddle on both sides, my leg not a limber as Devi, but sensed the possibility of gradually getting there.  My love affair with life, through the sutras, continue...

The small of my back just melted into the floor.  I don't know if the lover spine ever felt this fine.  Standing up afterwards I felt the muscles of my back drawn across, so strong.  While most of the poses were "my own" I am learning to find the right target.  Thanks for helping me aim Devi!

First practice fully using my Devi authorized bolster.  Love how these props give me both a more greater, yet comfortable stretch.  I had a smaller bolster, but this bigger size makes a difference.  Starting to get deeper focus and activity in my old, mended, frame.  The longer, more mindful work, is really the key for me.  During a marathon my foot caught a downed barrier support, hidden while running with the pack.  Immediately broke my clavicle and scapula on impact.  I'm always finding new ways to work with this old body.  9 years ago...nice to look back now at the slow progress.

What a beautiful gift. Thank you 🙏 This took me to a deeper state. 

Well I did this on a sleepy Sunday morning, but could tell the slow and deliberate moves and stretches as if it were bedtime.  I usually fall asleep meditating or half way through a chapter in an audiobook, but will give this a try tonight.

So new, working hatha and vinyasa with you.  Could feel the benefits of Yin practice throughout.  I am finding new strength in my legs and love the special variations you provide and encourage.  I'd been saving this one and it was just perfect for the day.  I am really enjoying theses longer sessions.  Oh and the gulls were great to hear at times.🕊️

I really like exploring in these poses and I used my blocks throughout which was really helpful.  I felt with the slow, deliberate ways I moved I could both take care, and find so many different stretches.  My shoulder are really tight, hell almost everything is tight, so this allowed me to find what felt best and good.

When I first started taking yoga classes it was in a room next to the cafeteria of a hospital.  Sirens at times, chatter of people and cars passing, and we were taught early are that it was just part of the practice.😊

Against such a beautiful backdrop, this practice was perfect for this day.  With a focusing on Zen meditation of late, the stillness in poses blended into an awareness of my body and then where my mind would travel at times.  But ahhh the quiet space, being there.  Then the sutra spoke of opposing perceptions, dropping them and finding the space in-between.  I smiled and noticed the lovely day of which I was already part.

Really surprised at the change using the props had for me.  I felt like I was "in" poses (like saddle) that are challenging for me.  I've discovered that for some reason I slightly put one knee ahead of the other in poses and by adjusting it, lessen the strain I was putting on the other.  Definitely going to use these tools in the future.

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.
