That's so cool Ann! When folks ask me what do I do when I meditate, sometimes depending on who is asking I tell them I pray for my friends, family, & students, especially the ones who are not well. Last week while I was at PT getting therapy, he asked me if I wanted my phone and I said no, I am going to meditate for 10 minutes. I surprised myself with that one!

This is GREAT! Thanks much for sharing Mic hele!

Wow Michele! All of those things sound wonderful! I need to incorporate more breathing and tapping into my days and nights!

I totally agree w both of you!! Yoga is sooooooooooo good for the mind, body, and soul!!

Ann and Christine, thank you for your insights re tree pose. This is a challenging pose for me and I find the variation with my toes on the ground and my heel touching my other lower leg is the most difficult for me, even harder than if I try to place my foot high on my thigh. The next time I do this pose I am going to try to focus on my breathe, being calm, and be grounded.

Thanks much for sharing this Michele! I like to end my Friday restorative classes with a poem. I will be using this in my class next week.

It is hard for me to pick a favorite yoga pose, but right now I really love that modified surfboard pose Emily showed us at YTT. My least favorite pose is tree. Balance is so different every hour or every minute. And balancing on my left foot is a struggle, but it is getting better with practice. My favorite prop is my yoga mat. My life gets much better any time I am on my mat. I like walking around our neighborhood with my hubby. We call it our walking and talking time. It is a great time to relax, focus on my breathe, and catch up with my love. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you better during our YTT journey! And many thanks to Emily, Rachel, and Jason for leading us on this journey! dawn
