Jason’s reminders “to have own approach to practice and choose the level of challenges each time” are very helpful. I feel stronger when working  with  “Slow wins the game” in balance poses and transitions. I did fall out at the beginning but got more stable the second time. I learned step by step new ways to use a  chair to assist with Dancer Pose and Standing Figure Four.  Thank you very much!  I look forward to more series of shows with Jason.

Sharon always appreciate your thoughtful comments.   Really don’t believe there’s such a thing as perfection in our practice.   Some days - we feel good and feel aligned, strong and stable.  And some days, everything creaks a bit and we feel unstable with both feet on the ground in tadasana.   The real secret is to find balance in our minds - the grace to know that every day is not the same and that is okay!

Found the focus on strength and balance ideal for me today.

Great practice. Just getting back to yoga after a hip replacement. This was perfect. Appreciate the cues and reminders that it’s okay to fall out of the pose and get back in. The chair was a great support, but not an impediment as I have found with some chair yoga. Thanks, Jason

Wonderful class! When doing thread the needle, lifting the arm up to the side before going down,  my arm does not go as far as it used to or at least that's what I think because i don't remember not being able to go up easily before. Now I look and wonder why it won't go further up. I've been wondering if that's a common part of aging for some of us. Anyway, I love your attitude.

Christel B that's a really good question.   The truth is likely TIME.   Our bodies change constantly - hormones, pregnancy, age, injury, weight gains/loss, lifestyle (do you sit for long periods?  Are you hunched over a device/computer for long periods?  Drive a lot?)....all of these things (and many more) can result in changes of how our bodies move.    Stiffness in your lumbar, thoracic or even shoulder joint could limit rotation.   But the good news is that with regular practice and breath-work, we can typically add range of movement.   I say, celebrate what you accomplished today, in the body you have today, and worry less about what you used to do.  That was then, but now is now.

Dawnie P kudos to you for getting back up into your practice.  As I mentioned to Christel B - worry less about what you used to do and more about what your body can and wants to do, now.    Keep up the great work - your effort is EVERYTHING!
