Camille L. Glad to hear these practices have been supporting you during this time of healing. The pink flowers are just a few bougainvilla branches I clipped before filming this.

Toni I haven't shared much of the Kriya Yoga work yet, but it's encouraging to hear that you appreciated it in this video. I've just finished a year of intense study. It's only starting to trickle through in my teaching. More to come. 😍

Lynette M. I'm so glad the practice helps you settle at night. Regarding osteoporosis: I'm a yoga teacher, not a yoga therapist, so with osteoporosis in the neck please get your do's and don'ts from your GP or a physio. The Royal Osteoporosis Society has good exercise guidance too. What I can say: osteoporosis is about bone. Since you're a flexible person, stop at about 50% of your full stretch. The best way to do this is to prop everything so gravity isn't pulling you deeper. Limit your holds to one to two minutes. Skip the neck stretches for now, and don't push through the crunching. Keep your back long in forward bends instead of rounding. If anything sends pain down the leg, come out. You don't have to give up stretching, just do it gently.

Melanie This is indeed one of the ways to do half saddle. Sometimes, when the legs are like this, it's called reclined deer - but they are the same with the same target area for the stretch (hip flexors and quads).

Appreciate your truthful feedback! Hope the next one is more satisfying!

Hi Ritva! Face and jaw tension is often rooted in neck and shoulder tension. Try focusing on upper body practices.
