Lots of work today, was I ever happy for my yoga therapy practice! Giving myself the time to release tension from my day was a real blessing. My body was indicating a lack of mobility in my shoulder joints so that ended up being my focus. I love this practice, really it is all about what the body displays and we go from there.
Block/strap, ankle to knee, marching on the spot and knee drops– little back twinge so I move on from there, I am bracing in my shoulders to do this action. Rolled felt pad +block for some spinal integration – nice one. Sun rise/sun set, pull overs, up to the wall for dolphin – I feel lobsided. Standing for some scapular mobility + strap – oh there was a release! To the wall for dolphin again – that’s a bit better. Back to my back for some spinal strip action… oops my phone goes off – dad thinks that I’ve been napping… Apparently I sound really relaxed…. Back to my spinal strip + blanket under my hips, on to hand fold. Back up to the wall for dolphin – MUCH BETTER. Final savasana on a heart bed.
I’ve mentioned that I’ve started sleeping with a bolster at my knees and a 10 pound meditation cushion (ZAFU – Halfmoon.bz) on my hips. You would never believe the release in your legs. Seriously, try this. You will melt into and possibly through the floor. It’s so good.
I am so ready for a movie with my husband now, mind is clear, tension decreased, I can really focus.
