Dena, hope you feel better.
Pam, I figured some people must be getting close now! Speaking of yoga not always being pretty, I don't think I mentioned it here (I mentioned it on my other checkin) - I'm doing a yoga photo shoot this Saturday! I have a friend who describes himself as hobbyest photographer, and he is trying to get more skilled in doing portraits. He asked me if I would model, thinking we could do more standard portraits plus yoga poses. So, I'll be trying to think of the simplest "pretty" poses I can! Any suggestions? (When I ask DH to take a yoga photo of me, I usually default to Warrior 2.)

Haha, I forgot to report my actual yoga! I did a ball routine from Ellen Saltonstall (YT) for the neck that felt really good, and then I did the daily yin challenge, which also happened to be for the neck, Graceful Bow. I didn't know that name, but it was basically just a lateral neck stretch; I loved doing it with the bolster!

Dena, I think we can do whatever I want; he might have some specific ideas, but he's pretty open. It would be nice to get a balance like tree in there, but I don't know how long I can sustain before falling over, LOL! I am also thinking lunges, twists (might be less pretty though), and gate pose, one of my favorites.

Today I did Day 17 of the Yin Yoga Challenge with JDG, Squat Pose. I use my slanted riser to prop my heels. Yesterday I did Day 16, Graceful Bow, a lateral neck stretch, and today I went back and did this again on one side of my neck that was feeling stiff.
