I’m here for the Yoga.

Yes! I have an image of anointing oneself - even if just with a few moments of quiet breathing.

The need for boundaries sure does become clearer!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful intention, Tina ❤️

Ah yes, being present with the roots of the practice. A helpful reminder for us all.

Balancing the physical and the mental sounds like an excellent area to focus ❤️

Such a good mindset! And if we see the release of stress and tension as part of our daily maintenance, we can prevent it from getting out of hand and taking us off guard.

There's a variation of seal with a cushion/bolster under the ribs that I've shared in some videos. This can help relieve the pressure on the arms. Alternatively, you can try experimenting with the position of your arms and hands. In yin, there's never an exact alignment you're supposed to follow, and instead you're encouraged to follow your instincts about what feels most supportive in your unique anatomy. Let me know if you have any luck finding a more easeful variation!

Sorry about the messed up audio. I had no idea it was sounding like this until I watched the recording. I’ll be sure to double-check my audio settings next time!

Hope you enjoyed this practice! Did you go prop-free, or did you use blocks and cushions?

Tadpole stretches the groin. It's indeed a mild or non-stretch for some people. If you're wanting to feel more, you can always open your feet out into frog.
