Great day of slow recovery.  Love how going through the motions settles me, helps me refocus, address the stiffness that idle time with an illness brings.  I found a real softness, settling in to each pose.  My troublesome knees felt oddly "padded" today so I enjoyed panda even more.

Rather hard to get it all in one shot, but I have area, windows provide a different view of each day.There's a sofa out of view where my pups take positions at opposite ends to monitor my progress.

Well two years of Yin and I finally missed not one but two days, down with the flu. But this morning I felt good enough and the practice was perfect for gradually moving me back in to activity.  The breathing throughout really helped and even though my body felt weak it lended itself for appreciating deeper poses. I felt really good and alive afterwards, but the recovery is still on.

I have the flu. This was a good one to help as I needed something lighter. Did about 20 minutes.

Great practice, on which time seems to fly by.  This one had a real mellow feel to it.  I noticed a deeper relaxation in my shoulders today.  Also my half saddles weren't half bad, so I pleased the half good parts. 😁. 

Perfect... Simply loved everything about this practice as it allow me to drift away in the sensations of my body.  Finishing with that vagus activation, Devine.  Bless you Devi...

I think if I was stuck on an island with only one DDY video this would be it.  I could actually feel the fascia stretching and love blending "settling in" with a meditative mind.  Already tagged as a favorite I assigned it to a new playlist, Best - Long

Taking a cue from Toni Vandyke I found this soothing routine, although wild baby is not my best move.  really got into the multitude of moments.  Ending with Sutra 40 (excerpt):

Delight in this entire universe

As permeated with divine awareness,

And every area of your body, 

Your feet, your face, your shoulders,

Made out of divine awareness.

So I had just responded yesterday to "What’s one pose you avoid."  I laughed at myself and took it both as a sign and opportunity.  Using blocks and care throughout I found the benefits.  This Hatha combined with a slower pace of movement was perfect.
