Hanne Aggerholm Thanks for sharing – hopefully this will get easier the next time around, now that you've got some familiarity.

Jaana Kuusela Ah, thanks for sharing this, Jaana. Bodies are different, and sometimes a certain pose just doesn't work! Have you tried the variation of half butterfly where the bent leg is bent the other way with the foot next to the hip – called half frog? I'm curious if that one gives you a hamstring stretch.

So sorry to hear about your injury, Bob! It's tough for me to give guidance on specific poses without working with you one-on-one. Sometimes the best thing is to simply rest. But if you feel ready to move, you might benefit from working with a yoga therapist who can give you skilled guidance. Hope your injury heals quickly so you can get back to your strong daily practice!

Hi Julie, Welcome and please forgive me for missing your message until today! In addition to a variety of cushions, the best props to invest in our Yoga blocks. I like the Gaiam. Once you get comfortable using those, you may wish to invest in a Yoga bolster – but that’s not essential for starting out. Enjoy diving in!

Esi Ann Lots of us are in peri here! This is a great quesiton. Stress relief is so important for us, since it helps maintain our hormonal balance. Everything here in the app & membership will serve that purpose! however the ones entitled "Somatic" may be more targeted.

Tiffin Howard Upside down dragon is a great alternative. Lying on your back, slide a yoga block or bolster under your hips, then draw one knee in toward your chest. The target area is the extended leg - front of hip.
