This was an interesting practice for a Christmas Eve...as I expected it would, my monkey mind was jumping all over my to-do lists! Then, gradually the Yin worked its magic and my thoughts began to slow down. The counting really helped. The real test will be to see if I can carry this calmness throughout the rest of the day 😉
Congratulations for getting this far into the challenge! As important as movement and exercise is this time of year....slowing down and resting is also necessary. Thanks for taking the time to slow down and be with yourself this holiday season.
Thank you. Saved this for a first day of my my moon time and it really helped move stagnant energy. I practiced with a hot water bottle on my low belly and that first pose was quite dreamy.
This is day 4 for me... I had never done anything like this, and although I had a hard time slowing down initially, this turned out delicious and healing. Loved all of it! I'll be coming back this one, and this challenge. Thanks Melina!
Day 4....Thanks for staying in the challenge everyone. I'm finding more and more appreciation for chairs in Yin Yoga and am delighted to hear you're enjoying the support as well. One more day to go!!!
Melina, even though I've taken many Yin classes with you, I am so impressed with how creative you are with new ways to do Yin poses and to integrate them with the Winter Ayurveda practices. Thanks for a wonderful class (again)!
