I did Release and Receive (39 min) with Eoin. I liked what he said in the beginning, that releasing tension in the body makes us more receptive to love. That is definitely one reason I do yoga. I think it makes people not just more receptive but more loving, too.
Eoin did more tai chi movement in this practice, which I'm not so familiar with. I have to admit I was a bit distracted and got a little lost a few times near the start and during the faster flow portion; I found myself glancing at the video more than usual. I still enjoyed the practice and the deep stretches felt especially nice. I also liked the lunge to seated twist transition; it was a great way to get into the pose with ease. There was a long relaxation at the end (my favorite part!). |

I'm hoping to try out some of the yoga practices on the Blissology Yoga YouTube channel. I bookmarked it some time ago, but haven't had a chance to try any of the videos. |

Today's practice with Eoin, 'Flow Into Bliss', was another enjoyable practice. I liked the two (main) flows he put together as well as the floor work at the end.
My eye kept getting drawn to the bandage he had on his ankle and wondering how he got his boo-boo. :p |
Day 8 was Flow Into Bliss (39 min) with Eoin. This had a faster flow portion and he added arm movements to some of the poses. I'm liking all the triangle poses in the videos; that pose/stretch has felt really nice for my body these days. I was a little tired after my workout today, but I was blissed out after the practice. I got sleepy during corpse at the end; I barely noticed the video ended. I'm hoping to sleep in tomorrow so I thought I'd post tonight :asleep:

Today's practice was 'Devotion In Motion' with Insiya. I was surprised when she went into crow so early, but as an intermediate / advance yogi, I didn't mind it and really enjoyed the more challenging poses she offered in this practice and the transitions between each. I added a 15 minute free flow onto the practice since it was only about 40 minutes, and finished off with 'Peace In Conflict' meditation -- a separate video outside of the challenge that I received from Eoin this morning.
I also forgot to mention that I really liked how Eoin flowed from downdog directly into updog in yesterday's practice, skipping right over chaturanga. I never thought to do it that way but like having another option to choose from when doing that transition. :) |

Saturday was Day 9 Devotion in Motion (42 min) with Insiya. This practice had more challenging poses (for me) and lots of twists and balance work. It was a nice flow; I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it and was willing and able to attempt most poses. I especially liked the sort of side plank flow with one leg bent in front. I was also happy to see chair (fierce!) pose with arm movements and wheel pose (I got into it again- yay! But I got a little shaky) which were in Insiya's Day 4 practice. I can't do crow, but I did practice the posture. My practice with Adriene was much more gentle and restorative, so I should have probably done Insiya's video first :p
I'm looking forward to Day 10 later today :) |
