Followed this little interlude to start my day.  Energy awareness really grew as the practice progressed.  Your Oms at end blend well with a little voice yoga have started.  I like harmonizing with you...and the universe of course.

A morning where my mind just wouldn't wake up, so to the mat I went.  Complications in life trying to pry their way into the stillness, but yet the sleepiness, the the breath and stretches slowly changed all that.  The slow stretches revealed noticeable progress over the time spent with you, with Yin.  Props and position accustom now to what is needed next, for me to work those target areas.  Life's complications come and go, but the stillness is always there, waiting for us.

I love this one!  "Gentle and few are the moments we two can share."  Such an easy flow, yet one which delved deep into the back and all its connections.

It was all mental this morning and landing on the Gentle Somatic Yoga practice as perfect.  Of course throughout the physical was reaping the benefits.  I truly use many of the practices as meditation focused periods in my day.

I've found a "lazy" dragon I do when it seems right.  As long as I feel the target area I find a comfy position, especially one off my wrists.

Revisited the favorite this morning. Long, slow, to the ground.  Letting the mind find rest and the body a cleansing movement.  Sutra #55 fitting into the end of practice so nicely.

Sit in any relaxed, comfortable pose.

Experience the earth below

As insubstantial, a pillow of air—

Air that is always vibrating,

Minute particles in ecstatic motion.

Poised here,

No support below, no support above,

No support for the feet or hands,

No support for the mind,

Be completely at peace!

Really enjoyed the class, although my pups were disoriented due to my schedule change. I do the dragons my way so the long stretches were great.  I spent yesterday removing English Ivy from several trees and could tell the benefit.  I did get the "Null" error in the beginning but closing and reopening the app fixed it.

"Experienced yogis strive for a beginner's mind".  Loved how I had so much meditative time throughout this practice.  I see I've done this one often and my experience mirrors so much in each decryption from the past.  Few speak to my spiritual side as you.  To have this time of calm is so beneficial and of value.

Tagged a favorite, I loved how you took me on this exploratory journey.  "One with the Devi", is the best I can describe it.  Mindfully working within each pose, so many compliments to you along the way.  The gradual work with half saddle was ... wow ... amazing!  Poses in my own, wonderful way.  The music brought it all together.  At times I was wondering if I was hearing ships signaling in the bay or just deep vibrations in my head.  You are the best part of so many days, this another...

Currently I am reading "Navigating Liminal Realms: Psychonavigational Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys, and Altered States" by Norma and Nisha Burton.  I am also reading "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" by W. Y. Evans-Wentz.  It is "immaculately rendered in English both graceful and precise." Translated with the close support of leading contemporary masters.
