I am forever grateful for how practicing yoga helps me to remember what I am. And the memory of this runs then in the background throughout the day, bringing me back to myself.

Thank you Meghan for preparing and offering this practice. It was an interesting one. I feel lots of worries running in the background these days and I don't quite have the access to the full picture of what the roots of these worries are. During the practice I could feel my head -  even though it followed the flow - was somewhere else as it was difficult to gather enough activation and strength to go through chaturanga and updog, During halasana I felt how tense my upper back is (up to the point where discomfort rung in my ears). I felt my body eventually open and spread with Ardha Hanuman🙏 and while holding the firelog I felt like crying - the effort mixed with the awareness needed to hold the pose made me stand still and listen. Great closure with the breath of fire at the end of the practice. This practice had a calming and balancing effect on me, thank you.

Meghan Currie I am excited you are asking 😀 I would love a class where we would explore various arm balances and play with transitioning from one arm balance pose to the other. I would also love to go through those compressed sitting postured  - all the marichyasanas - finishing with Marichyasana D. Have a great day!

It was a strong practice! even though we did poses that are normally quite accessible, but holding them longer and transitioning slower made it challenging. I enjoyed the detailed ques! yesterday I was thinking of getting more into opening into energetical pathways, and wondering how I can understand it better and today I found this class 🙏🙏

It was an amazing class! I enjoyed the precise instructions, that helped me understand the process of getting into the final pose. Olga, could you please suggest other classes that have a similar rhythm, meaning they are slower and poses instructed in details? 🙏

What a challenge! I did not manage to keep up and do everything with you, Meghan, but I am gonna be coming back to this practice! thank you for showing how many activations there is to accommodate in the body and what a challenge it is to do it all carefully and slowly and hold.! It was surprising that my hands were the most tired! I guess I have never activated them this much! This gonna be one of my favourite classes! Last but not leas, I am amazed of how you can always come up with new poetic metaphors 💛

it led, little piece by piece, one instruction after the other, straight into the source. Perfectly knitted meditation 💛 Thank you!

Thank you! It was very soothing. Already those couple of minutes got me well relaxed 🙏This was the first time I tried viloma, inhaling in smooth and easy, exhaling is still a bit chunky.  I wonder Megan if you could show how to incorporate different breathing techniques depending on what asana practice we want to do later? E.x. it makes sense to start with viloma if later we will do twists instead of e.x. 3 part breath

Thank you, Meghan! I swayed the wave of my breath when you were instructing it, your words found their way into my experience. You introduced me to this practice in your series focusing on the breath on AloMoves, it made me aware of how I could breathe more fully and get calmer (not only during yoga practice but daily when my natural flow got disturbed and i needed to bring myself back to balance). Now I teach too and the first yoga class with a new group I teach this technique. Then I found it again with some new useful instruction deepening the exprience on the Breath is Boss series. This one feels like you moved it to yet another level and it felt like opening new understaing of the breath in my body. hank you!
