Another great practice, thanks Margi!! The homework to train my thoughts was so helpful yesterday - a work issue took me down the spiral and I was able to catch myself, reminding myself about the negativity bias you described. Thank you!
Margi, you're the reason I bought a subscription after my free trial, I love this series! I was so proud when I couldn't do the upward facing dog the first time but the second time I got it!
Question: I have been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists since I was 20, and sometimes walking my hands backwards in downward dog hurts. Is there a modification I can make to help, because I want to do this series again?
Nicole Hi Nicole! Thanks for writing and I am glad you are enjoying this journey.
How about from down dog bringing your knees to the floor, tucking your toes, and then finding your way to the forward fold without using your hands. Let me know if that makes sense and works. Take good care. Margi
Margi - I love this gentle journey, I’m gaining so much in reflection and time in each pose - I’m generally a fast paced individual who is tough on self with high expectations - your context and practice is so helpful for me 🙏
I could not believe how quickly this session flashed by! and a list of 15 nourishing things poured right out of me as soon as I sat down. Love doing this after an evening walk but perhaps I should practice earlier in the day so I won't go down a rabbit hole when encountering bad behavior in the world at large. Letting it go!! XO M
Melissa How cool that 15 nourishing things came easily! I think it is good to learn to practice at different times so we have our tools no matter what the hour! Congrats on finishing the 7 days. Consider yourself a graduate! xo
