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.

Bethan Owena That's great you're putting your new bolster to use right away!

I am looking into this and will let you know once I have more info!

I did just reply and I look forward to connecting with you!

I put the statement in quotes for a reason: it's actually not something I tend to say, because the whole body and all its parts can play a role in emotional processing – not just the hips. However I've noticed many other yin yoga teachers saying this about the hips, so I'm curious whether it's true for most people and how it manifests.

We're neighbors! I'm in Encinitas.
