Thank you for watching! Share with us below which posture is most fitting for you. Also, I left a number of meditations in the description to play around with.

Oh hey, I’ve listened to your voice a hundred times in Calm while going to sleep!

[@drelishagoldstein]

😴 hope it’s been supportive :)

Hi Doc. Thanks for the vid. I have knee rep and flexibility is an issue. This really helps. Oh, BTW, in the cross leg, the left leg should be the inward leg, ideally touching the perineum. It's an ancient yoga body/energy mechanic. The right should always cross the left. My yogi told me that.
