It erupted before we shot the class and it was enormous - a 50 foot mushroom! We learned it would be 3 hours before the next eruption so that's why we were able to set up so close to it. It would have rained on me and my mat and on Konrad's gear if it went off, never mind a volcanic eruption being perhaps not the most relaxing thing to ever happen in a yin class...

Hi Jill! Indeed, musicians like you can be highly prone to upper body strain. Glad to hear you that it worked for you. I love picturing you doing this sequence now that you're settled into your new home!

Grammar... took the class, did the practice, ha I don’t know either! I think we’re all making this up together as we go. Konrad is not always behind the camera, but he was for this one, and he gives a lot to the channel with rad tech support - so my ongoing gratitude goes to him. I knew you all would love to have him say hi! 💙

Love hearing about your ongoing explorations, Deb! 💙

Nice to hear that this class worked for you Deb, and that Wind in the Willows is growing on you! 💜🙏💙

Hi Kyra! I do hope to make downloading possible by offering an iOS app - however it's quite expensive to have one built. I'm dreaming that this channel will grow enough to justify the cost, and soon! 💙

Hi Deb! I appreciate your comment about the live class - how even though you viewed it as a recording, you found it have a different quality of connection than the non-live recordings. These are the kinds of questions I'm exploring with this new platform. 💜

Please do!!

Hello dear Elizabeth in New Zealand! Glad you enjoyed the livestream recording. Thanks for sharing your exploration of the glute poses! 💙

Hi Laura! Glad you enjoyed this live class. Sounds like a really serious knee injury you're recovering from. I know you're normally a very active person so I'm sure it must be challenging. Thanks for posting your question here. I'm thinking of how to best approach your outer hips and hip flexors. First, for outer hips: the four posture variations that I cover in this class are basically we've you've got to work with, plus propping and adjusting those in creative ways. I know you are an experienced practitioner, and it sounds like you may already be going as you should while listening to your body, not over-doing it, and moving intelligently. For injured joints, stretching is important, but strengthening is equally important - not just for the muscles but to stimulate the healing process in the bones and fascia. (And of course it's very important to work with the guidance of a doctor or PT who has access to your medical images and records, unlike me). For the hip flexors and sartorius, check out the new class I've posted called Yin Yoga for Inflexible Hips, particularly the last posture – modified half saddle – which I think might be a doable version for you to try. Knees and hips go hand-in-hand so in general that yin class for inflexible hips you'll see many of the same modifications that I'd make for a student with limited/injured knees. My thoughts are with you has you continue to heal and recover. 💜🙏💙
