I was elated to find this new practice this morning. It provided a wonderful start to the day. People on my phone meetings today asked me why I was so cheerful. Thanks again for providing a means of continuing our community practice.
You are most welcome – glad you are putting them to good use!!
Just agreeing with Audrey! Did this one this morning and loved it – especially the wide angle forward bend sequence.
Again, cannot thank you enough for this gift…left to my own devices I know I would slide into sloth during this extended isolation, but with these podcasts I am establishing a true home practice…the variety is WONDERFUL!
Hey Annie,
Thanks for partaking in the podcast – part of the joy in making them is the thought that people will hopefully find them helpful, and also coming up with creative ways to vary the practice. Again, thanks for your thoughts…
BTW, I know these podcasts also need improvements – as they are done 1-time through without any edits etc – so if you have basic suggestions about timing, pace, clarity etc, please do pass those along – they will be warmly accepted!!
Namaskar….
The music masters like Miles Davis and John Coltrane usually did one take to stay in the moment and be spontaneous. Great job Brother ….
Wow Greg, I think I’ll take a far, far back seat to those greats!! 😊
Appreciate the spirited thought though….🙏
Found this practice this morning. What a wonderful way to start my weekend! I love that you have so many podcast options to choose from, depending on my mood and energy level. Thank you for these gifts!
So glad you found it Stephanie!!
Thanks for practicing and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment – I very much enjoy hearing reflections and responses to the podcasts. 🙂🙏
