Very nice to hear you get the space and openness in your chest for most of the day, Christel. Yes that arm(s) up version is tough. It’s important that the forward knee or low back aren’t over stretching. A bolster under the forward leg hip can be helpful here. 

Back to revisit this workout to get some ideas for a core-themed class I'll be teaching tomorrow night. Great ideas here! Such a valuable teaching resource : )

I'm enjoying these practices very much. Perfect half hour practices, with just enough of everything. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Ruth 

Glad you are enjoying it, Ruth!

loved the core work, fun practice.

Thank you, Valerie. Gotta keep that center strong 💪 

Had a lovely deep sense of peace and rest in Savasana after those abdominal asanas. I managed Tolasana without strain too! Looking forward to the next class. Covid 19 has given me so much space for practice, very grateful for that and for the teachers here. Hope that you are safe and well over there.

Thanks, Megan. Yes I’m doing alright here in San Diego. The change in work is challenging but, like you I’m able to take some time for deepening the practice and learning more about the gifts that were hidden behind the daily grind. 

This challenge has been the perfect thing to bring my practice of yoga back to my life from home.  I am struggling with the back bend and it is hurting my neck any helpful hints?

Hi Kiim! Nice to have you here. Could you tell me which poses are bothering your neck and where do you feel the discomfort in your neck?
