Carolyn Gaeckle sometimes I put a bolster under my hips/ abdomen and that helps me with sphinx.

I have trouble with pigeon pose too. I put a yoga block underneath the hip with the bent leg and that seems to help.

I'm a huge fan/believer of yin yoga precisely because our bodies are different and there are so many variations available to us. Devi, you are such a wonderful guide in this practice!

When I see you, Devi, leaning back in saddle, I just can't imagine my body being able to do that! I'm very flexible, but structurally it's off limits to me. I do like your suggestion, Rebecca, to try those variations. Those were just in ar recent video on the calendar as well. Thank goodness for variations!

There's more than one- haha- but saddle is the pose I just can't do. I can sit up right but my arms get tired when I try to lean back. Definitely skeletal limitation. And when I say lean back, I mean just enough to bend my elbows.

Made sure I had plenty of time this afternoon to do this longer practice - it was lovely! Always enjoy the variations and how they can change for me depending on the day!

Great suggestions for using blocks (& a bolster at the end under the knees) - the poses really targeted the areas when I used the props. So helpful! I will continue to use a bolster under my knees when lying on my back - so much more restful for my body than just lying without a bolster!
