Dhanurasana) knees,tied,shins up the wall,rib cage pressing into the bolster,arms gripping the ankles ,toes flexed and trying to take the toes towards the wall was the icing on the cake👌
Aah those femur bone heads. Lol. I'm on a real journey with them at the moment. Delighted that you loved this back extension variation. Me too. Have a beautiful weekend. X Cat 🙏🏼🕉🌼
Thank you Cat! This was my first attempt at an advanced class, took me 2 years to get here! I am perpetually impressed at your ability to dictate your movements throughout all of these poses. I greatly enjoyed this!
You did it Jesse !!!!! All that effort paying off. What a beautiful feeling. Can't tell you how HAPPY your message makes me. Wish I could hug you in person. Keep up the fantastic work!! 💙💜💛
Thanks for suggesting this snack! The length is great for people like me who are coming to Iyengar after 20 years or so! Your instruction is crystal clear and the pace is just right. Also appreciate the asanas being given in writing as well as verbally. That really helps with learning the complicated names! Looking forward to more.
Great to hear from you Audrey! 🙏🌸💛It's a pleasure to be part of your practice world. Meanwhile here are some links to playlists that you might enjoy exploring: Advanced: th-cam.com/play/PLWuSzyojqpNFU9jlzYtxBDVhHZrY2yuZa.html Maui Classes (mixed levels so be sure to check that they are Int/Adv; to be sure that they are fun for you: th-cam.com/play/PLWuSzyojqpNGS0iUht-67RuZyjWz-ivzo.html Happy Practicing! Take care 🌈
Namaste Cat! Loved/hated the upper arm and forearm work in sirsasana. Lots of fine-tuning needs to happen in my shoulder joints. But comfort comes from seeing this mind pattern before where complete effort is needed while knowing fully that effortlessness comes on its own and not because of the effort. Thank you dear teacher, hope you are having a lovely day! Beautiful practice♥️🙏
Lol dearest Irena. Delighted that you had fun playing the edges. The day is wonderful as we have a weeks holiday from school which means nature and mountains again! 🏔 😇 💚 Enjoy the weekend! 🦋
It is truly delicious indeed, thanku thanku for yor generosity in sharing this beautiful wisdom. Really love yor creativity and understanding in sequencing. Blessings to you
Thank you dear Suria. It's so special to meet fellow practitioners around the world. Connecting on our journey... I am honoured. 🙏 X Cat 💫 ps - more advanced classes here should you be interested in exploring: th-cam.com/play/PLWuSzyojqpNFU9jlzYtxBDVhHZrY2yuZa.html
Hope that the challenges of the day melted away as much as possible Orit. And that all in your world and your daughter's world is good! Thank you for the kindness of your message. 🙏 💕🌺
@@YogawithCat Dear Cat, into another lock down 'thanks' a totally incompetent government..😡 BUT as long as we can swim in the sea every morning (bliss#1!!) and practice with u daily.. (bliss #2!! ) I'm sorted! 😄❤️🙏🏻
Thank you dearest Amanat for your sensitivity. I've been studying micro-movements and working on how to share them here. It's an enthralling world! And I'm so inspired and excited by the increasing delicacy revealed and the vast potential of how much more there is to learn. 🌟 💖 🌟
I loved your class but something particular happened today. I felt so angry in between the session that I almost quit but I remember your words of "pushing yourself" and kept going. I do not know why that happened if only yesterday I felt so good, I was the "king of Yoga" (joking), but today I came back to my reality to be just a rookie. Sometimes I feel like in heaven when find that "aha moment", but then the next day, again just back to the earth. Fluctuations of mind? back and forward? find a balance? All I know is that I know nothing. X Rob.
Good Morning dear Rob. Reading your message over my morning coconut oil infused coffee and pondering what might have made you feel that way yesterday. One thing that comes to mind is something Geeta used to repeat quite often: She said that it was quite common to feel a sense of irritation when the mind/body/brain are integrating new alignments etc. Since this class had quite a few new details in it perhaps that is the cause? But whatever it is I think the most important teaching is to notice our emotional attachment to pleasure and our emotional aversions to displeasure. Ultimately both are just states of mind. Consciousness is neutral. And one of the teachings of regular committed practice is to stay even keeled through the emotional variances. Thus the notion of pushing through. And the more we practice the more aware we become of our mind states... and thus begins the deep training of stepping back - over and over again - from our reactions so to emotions. As for knowing nothing - I feel the same all the time. But I like this feeling because it makes me so excited to learn more from a state of constant humbleness. Becoming Beginners the more we 'advance'. Becoming more sensitive. Open. Less rigid in what we think we know and who we think we are... Hope some of these words help in some way. Thinking of you. X Cat 🐈 ✨🕉✨🌺
@@YogawithCat tons of gratitude Cat for taking the time to write those kind words. Of course they help, especially what you mentioned about Geeta. I felt very identified with that situation since recently I've been working in the new alignment of my lower back. And because of that then those irritation feelings come and I begin to think that I have waisted a lot of time for not knowing/correcting that earlier, and then I punish myself with no compassion (I'm still a perfectionist). Anyway, I'm still breathing and btw I'm trying hot chocolate with cow milk these days. It looks like the vehicle is responding well.... so far. X Rob.
Hello dear you! J.B spiral of the ear is a flow of energy in the ear that helps guide us/and arises when we are in an optimal J.B position. Chin lowered, front throat soft, cervical long and the spiral within the ear spiralling inwards. Gently putting a fingertip in each ear and turning the finger towards the temples will help to give the feeling. Sorry I've been so slow to answer this B! 💛🙏🏼☀️ x me

Thank you for this long and delicious practice. Loved the supported backbends. As always the attention to the head of the femur is appreciated. 🙏 💕

@@YogawithCat Thank you, yeah I'm going soon, yoga and you'll be on my mind all the time😪🌺💞
@@kaya.m You have to share it! The military is becoming more open to the powers of mindfulness and yogic type training.
Very well explained...the bolster poses look easy but difficult to practice. I am including these sequences in my daily practice. Thank you
That's wonderful to read. Pleased to be useful. 🙏 🕊✨
