Pam - Beth's Half Moon yoga sounds nice, thanks for the recommend! I'm going to save it.

Cyana, is that Holden meditation on transforming adversity to strength available only on one of your subscriptions?

Glad you liked that practice, Pam! I haven't filmed anything new since before the holidays, but I'm buying myself a box light (for better lighting) and am open to requests if anyone has any!

Today I think I'm going to do some short yoga (probably Yoga with Tim) as a warm-up and then maybe try some kettlebells. I feel bad for people going back to work today; I'm lucky to have a few more days off.

Day 14, Jan 3
Morning: MFML: 2021 Grounding & Strength series #3 / The Fundamentals of Standing Poses, Rachel Scott
This class was sooo good!! Great tips for pelvic alignment and how it affects the opening of the hips. Rachel is very cheerful & bright. A really nice class.

Evening: Continuing going through old DVDs ... Molly Fox: Stretches & Relaxes
How did people ever learn from DVDs??? This was fairly advanced, and Molly is super-flexible so most of the poses as she did them were not attainable at all. And it started immediately with 6 really fast rounds of full sun salutations. There was no instruction nor hints for modification. No wonder I stopped doing yoga years ago when all I had were DVDs.

If anyone is interested, this practice is available for free on Gaia for the next few days (68 hours from now):

I did about half today. It was nice enough, but I thought it was going to be more side body work, and the section I did was mostly hamstrings. Also, I didn't like how she spends so much time on one side of the body before moving on to the other.

Day 15:
~Hatha Flow Yoga class on zoom
~Insight Timer: Rest Well Tonight With Koshi Chimes

FirmDancer - Yes, there are a lot of yoga dvds, especially older ones, that offer zero modification options. It turns people off, most of us don’t have pretzel bodies. And I’m not a fan of fast sun salutations, I think it’s a good way to injure yourself.

Day 15, Jan 4
Morning: MFML 2021 Grounding & Strength series #4 / Do Your Best, Guy Friswell
This was a short, flow-type class, very do-able. So good!

Evening: I continued with going through my old DVDs

Body Wisdom, Barbara Benaugh. I chose the 55 min long practice for Anxiety. It was mainly various breathing exercises, but only a few poses. Lovely shoulder stretch.
I wanted more poses, so pulled out Yoga for Surfers, Vol 1, post-surf session. I like this because the poses flow so nicely from one to another. I remember doing this so often I had it memorized.

That is definitely one of my criteria for an enjoyable yoga class. If a class starts with full-on sun salutations, I turn it off.
