Yes, be sure to keep that propping option in your toolbox - it can help in many postures! 💜

Thanks, Suzanne. How did you end up modifying the kneeling poses? I’m curious if you tried using the folding blanket under the shins as we discussed last week in the FB group, and whether or not that’s been helpful.

I’m glad to hear the furniture-assisted saddle works for you - now you have an alternative to work with in any sequence that includes saddle! About Seiza - yes, it's definitely a toughie for challenged knees. I'm curious about the cushions you sat on for the saddle variation, thinking the same might also work for your upright seiza...

Glad you enjoyed it Sereti. I've uploaded several other sessions for this area of the body in the past month, and more are on the way. Search "upper body" in the catalog to find them :)

Thanks Saskia, what an important comment. This class is part of the current yin program, which is a dream for some students, but feels unbalanced for others. My usual monthly yoga program is a mix of yin, vinyasa and yang yoga. It’s great that you’re listening to what your body needs today, and it’s always important to get an appropriate mix of yin and yang activity.

Thanks Diane, I so appreciate hearing this from someone who has a very different body from mine. I do worry that I can't adequately demo the infinite number of variations and modifications, having only one body, but I'm hearing that it's working for you, which is great!
