I’m here for the Yoga.

Hi Blanca, lovely to hear from you 💛

What a beautiful thing to be noticing in yourself. This is a topic that touches on Taoist philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda.

A few resources if you want to explore some reading:

• The Tao Te Ching (Lao Tzu) — the original source for yin/yang philosophy

• Books by Sarah Powers and Bernie Clark. They both teach Yin yoga and weave in the energetic side beautifully

• Anything on Taoist philosophy

Trust the natural cycles of action and rest that you’re already noticing in your own body and energy.

Best to you in Belgium 🌿

I disliked puppy pose for years because I was hyper-focused on melting my heart down, and this never felt great it my shoulders. Lately I've begun "pulling back" instead, which gives me a broad fascia stretch throughout my upper body. Loving the subtle but meaningful shift!

Is there any one yoga pose that's been particularly satisfying or revealing for you recently?

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with half frog last time. Sometimes a certain pose just doesn't agree with us! It's great that you felt comfortable modifying with half butterfly – it's a perfect substitute since they stretch the same target area.

Looks like the perfect saddle prop!

What's your favorite outdoor place for nourishment and recharging? This pic was taken at the meditation garden here in Encinitas.

Yes, if you search the main catalog for "bedtime" and "evening" you'll find a handful of classes. Also, anything with the word "gentle" in the title would be suitable for bedtime. Enjoy!

It was a total delight to film this week's new Sunday practice at the beach. It's been a while since I shared a yoga video in nature, and I really love how this one came out. Join me for a divinely slow stretch aside a towering cliff, immersed in a soundscape of ocean waves and shorebirds.

My apologies to those of you who tried to watch this replay but ran into audio issues. It took me a few days to figure out what was going on (a video transcoding issue). I believe it's fixed now, so please try again.  🫶Mary McCourt Susan E. Erickson Linda Rummel
