Where is cyana with our TGIF? Hope you didn't have to work late like Carolyn!
Carolyn, sorry you are still covering for others and had to work late! Carolyn, supine cow-face legs is similar to what they call "baby stretch" in CS. It annoys me because I can reach my feet pretty easily on one side, but not on the other. Pam, how cool that you can walk and revisit your favorites! How many times have you been to Hawaii? Margot, glad you are okay, and glad you are taking it easy! Also glad you found the pigeon video helpful. I love doing it with the bolster and plan to teach it like that in class tomorrow. Getting your leg parallel to the front of the mat doesn't even matter; you just want to put it in a position where you feel the outer hip/glute stretch, which is different for everyone. Paine, it's always nice to get in a good workout! Pat, so sorry that you are supposed to get hit (my sister in Boston too); stay warm and safe! You might like this yoga practice I did today. It was an Ekhart yoga class "I have arrived. I am home." that is currently being offered for free to honor the recent death of Thich Nyat Hanh. I only was able to do about 20 minutes (I thought it was 30 minutes, but it was closer to 40), but I was able to stop at a natural point. At least in the part I tried, she had some moves to shift energy, and it had a bit of a Kundalini (lite) feel. Today I got the email newsletter from the studio where I used to teach (pre-pandemic). The owner who took over in 2019 (who I had some clashes with) said she is struggling to keep the studio open and has started a GoFundMe. I was certainly sorry to hear that; it further validates my decision to leave, but I would be sad to see the studio close. I'm teaching yoga tomorrow morning, and then my photo shoot is tomorrow afternoon!

P.S. Before I forget it - Bob and Brad posted a new hip video this week for my fellow "hipsters": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ctKCpKPTk . Most of these are done seated, and would be good to work in several times during my work day. They also posted a new neck video this week - I haven't had time to preview this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeoI3TjCxnY
FYI - if you look on that shelf behind Brad, that white massager is the one I purchased and have gotten a lot of use out of it. Can't remember what I paid, but it was very reasonably priced. Love that long handle - really handy for working on the back or the backs of the shoulders. Not sure which of the percussion tools is mine - possibly the one just to the right of the hand massager. I like it too, as it was reasonably priced and fits my hand well. Time for coffee!!!

cyana, sorry you didn't get past the mere thought of TGIF. I just previewed the B&B neck one, and it looks good, although nothing particularly new. I won't even say what your massage thing looks like! I had a feeling those translations would speak to you, haha.
Margot, you said you didn't get the subtitles. For some of the Japanese videos, there's a subtitles option you can click on - I think those are the submitted captions, and those generally read pretty normally. But for others, you have to select "auto-translate" (or something like that), which I think means a computer is translating - and often getting it VERY wrong, to hilarious results. Happy Saturday! I enjoyed teaching yoga this morning, with 11 people in the studio and 3 on livestream. I'll be back at the studio this afternoon for my photo shoot!

Trying to solve a mystery of a yoga logo. It was on a mat left at the studio (probably from one of the teachers), and several of us liked the look/feel of the mat. I uploaded a photo of the logo logo that was on the mat to my VF member page; it's in an album called "random." Let me know if you recognize it!
Of course, I just purchased a new mat from the studio since we get a great discount. I haven't gotten it yet, but it will be another Manduka eko lite (my old one now lives in the studio because it's too worn to use regularly) in the color "Shade Blue Marbled": https://www.manduka.com/products/eko...39450907639866
