Day 10 & Day 11

Day 10 - another satisfied new client! Hurray! Taught a class afterward, busy yoga evening. My practice - restorative in bed - bolster, eye pillow, bliss. Read an interesting breathing technique in "The Breathing Book" to help clients to get acquainted with the full extent of their breath chest, ribs, back, belly - I think I'm going to use my husband as a guinea pig and then try it out. My last 2 clients breath into their belly, but it is quite shallow breath and there is no action in the chest or sides.... stay tuned...

Day 11 -
block/strap - gerat way to check in, and I am limited today... interesting, no hip pain but my right butt/abductor wouldn't stop turning on when I was adducting. I had to dial it way back!
grounding into the wall, ankle to knee up the wall, heel pulses, legs up the wall with block/strap.
Savasana on the ground + bolster - woosh release through my hips!!!!

What a lovely morning, I work later on today so I have time to take my dog for a walk (the cat came too, hilarious)! What a glorious day! I live in the most beautiful spot, walking by the farm with a mountain view and 5 minutes later I was walking by the ocean. I noticed my hip starting to "whisper" - soften through my legs/shoulders and started to breath, much better.

Off to work at the hospital now. I think I'm going to bring a strap to figure 8 my mother on my break (she works in a different department and she has a crazy tight front line... for many reasons, one obvious being the computer work). It is so fun to keep learning from different bodies and experiences.
