Hi from New Zealand. I have been practising here for the last 6 months and have been thoroughly enjoying the benefits. Today I went to perform pigeon pose (which I usually have no problems with), and I noticed a lot of pain in my right knee, the same was felt in child's pose. What could be causing this, and how can I help it? Thank you. Love & Light.

How do you like to set the mood for your practice space?
My current ritual is to sweep the floor, dim the lights, and put on yoga-friendly clothes that make me feel good. These three little things really help to shift the energy in the space.
What’s your favorite way to set up your space?

Hi
I've never done an in-person yoga class, have only followed a couple of YouTube yogis. Have been trying to commit to a daily practice for the last 2 years. It's hard to know how my form is, but since finding Devi I feel a lot more comfortable in my practice, her instructions are so easy to follow. Looking forward to following and interacting with you all. I'm from New Zealand.

Join me at 7,500 feet elevation for today’s 25 minute Yin Fascia Release video, which was filmed in the Sierra Nevada high country - next to these alpine hot springs!
This practice will melt tension from the connective tissues throughout your whole body - from shoulders and spine down to hips and legs.

Yin Fascia Release
This Yin-style fascia stretch is a great way to melt tension...

How has your body or your practice changed with the seasons or with age?
This year I’ve noticed I really crave more decompression in my lower back, so I’m holding my forward bends longer than I used to in my 30s and 40s. I’d love to hear what you’ve noticed in your own body or practice over the years.

What’s one pose you didn’t like at first but have grown to love?
For me, it’s reclined butterfly. When I was younger, I felt nothing in this pose — but now, in my 51 yo vessel, it gives me a sweet gentle stretch 😌

What’s one pose you come back to again and again?
For me it’s Dragonfly. My body just loves this combination of forward bending for the hamstrings with a straddle for the inner legs, and it releases my spine like no other pose. I’d love to hear what pose you return to most often.

In one word, how do you feel after a yin practice?
Soft. That’s the word that often comes up for me after yin. Softer body, softer mind. What word comes to mind for you?
