I chose this for today, the first time back to my mat after the death of my husband earlier this week. Thank you. It was just right.

Mental disorders are no fun and no joke… been in the darkness for a few days now skipped class yesterday, just been in a bad way. This really helped for the moment. Thank you

So lovely! I always enjoy reading your haikus 😊

TODAY’S HAIKU: connect and reset - play with the dance of the breath - allow softening💗

<p>I instinctively knew how to begin! To connect within. And that’s wonderful and soulful to behold! This was a Yummy practice! I’m glad I returned to this. I’m relishing my stay. 2025 has been such a wild ride. I felt I ingested enough of the energies that made me wobbly in tree pose. It was on and off. I was tending to myself. But the weight of outside pressure was getting stuck in my hips. I am grateful that I have this safe space to tend to connect deeply into my innermost source of peace, light and love…my own inner voice, source of strength, joy — my own inner spirit, my love cave. Thanks Adriene, I did a detox as caregiving has made me feel more…in a sense that I ingested a lot within me…I am grateful for everything. </p><p>I opened the practice as I saw fit…on my back…and then you cued it…I was already there…my belly, my stomach was already gurgling ;)…my heartspace, my shoulders, my jaw were ready to receive the benefits, from memory! I relished every bit of this session. Fully connected with deep gratitude. This was so delicious! Heaven on earth within me. Thanks for ushering in those sessions filled with love and for Restoring me all through 2025. It was tough! I am here. I am enough. I am worthy. I am at Peace. I am Feeling Light in my body and Spreading my inner Light. I am leading from a place of Love. </p><p>I am in a good place, a wonderful way to meet the day! I’m sending love to the whole collective, teachers, everyone at FWFG in YWA. I closed the session with the deepest and most soulful bow, at home within me and grateful for my presence and loving my essence. Just by being open to the unfolding of life. Thanks everyone! 💚💚💚💚 01/05/26 indeed, Yoga (is) for Connection! </p>

<p>This kept going through my mind during this practice:</p><p></p><p>“Know in your soul</p><p>Like your blood knows the way</p><p>From your heart to your brain</p><p>Knows that you’re whole”</p><p></p><p>“Midnight Radio” from <em>Hedwig and the Angry Inch</em></p>

<p>I struggled a little slowing down and staying focused but kept trying. So glad I did. I truly felt calmer at the end and the cat cows were wonderful. Such a simple practice that requires a lot of focus but then such a great reward at the end. Thank you!</p>

<p>My teenage son was admitted to the hospital today and he and I are now in this room together for the next two weeks while he gets better. I brought my mat and this was the practice that seemed to choose me. Thank you, Adriene. This is the only time today I’ve felt good and I appreciate that so much.</p>

That was just lovely. Its not the first time I’ve done this one, but I thinks its the first time I’ve REALLY done this one

This felt perfect after coming out of a nasty sinus/cold thingie. At the end, lifting my haed up from child’s pose, my sinuses opened up and that felt AHmazing!! 💜
