Olga Pachina what a difference two months make! I retook this class today and it felt a lot more relaxing this time around 😊 my core is back 😆 p.s. love these side body-heavy classes!

Oooh revisiting an old "favorite" 😅 and I realize my old comments are just down there so it makes an interesting comparison. Today I also felt quite lethargic when I started the practice, but I went along and were surprised that it is not actually that backbend heavy as the name might imply, but rather expansive in every direction which is really liberating. And then came the first wheel where my middle back hurt a little, but I kept moving on and the wheels became more and more addictive. I managed single legged version AND the single handed version (on the first go)!! I even felt expansive heart rays beaming out in the single handed version. So I did make progress from 2022...even with the long pregnancy break in between. Perseverance is magic 😄

Olga Pachina oh thank you sweet Olga! I don’t always reply but I do read every single one of your replies and really grateful for your cheering me on every time 💖 Haha now I’m in the sweet spot of still on maternity leave but baby big enough to sleep some 1-hour naps so I’m making the most of it now! Not sure I would have the luxury of doing yoga so often when I do go back to work 😭

Wow...second day in a row magic happened...I had never really managed hanuman and I came to the mat with no expectations just craving some openings in my sore legs, but Meghan's done it again - I felt confidence creeping up little by little as my body opened up following her wonderfully crafty cues and bang in the end I "actively" sunk into my closest hanuman yet to date, still a little away from the mat but I could lift my hands and maintain the muscle engagement. It felt amazing!

Oh my my...I couldn't find the words to describe how good I feel right now. Despite feeling stagnant and not confident that I could finish this long (and supposedly spicy) practice at the beginning, I surrendered myself completely to Meghan's cues and without me realizing, my body and mind opened up by themselves and I moved into Visvamitrasana so incredibly effortlessly, as natural as a flower blossoming in the springtime. I was astonished and amazed by the power of Meghan's guidance and the boundless possibilities of my body and mind. So grateful 🩵

Oooh I feel good! Not sure if I'm stronger today or this is easier than the Core series (which absolutely killed me the other day) but I enjoyed the burning sensations around my core 😊 Was expecting some back core burn too but luckily there was none! 😂

An oldie but a goodie...twists are not my favorite but whenever I do them, I feel instantly better 🩵 today I came to this practice feeling stagnant in the body and tangled in the mind, and the flow with fewer cues and the twists wrung all the locked webs open. I lied on my mat at the end with a clearer focus on what really matters in life and a lighter mind! Thank you ❤️

It has definitely been a struggle this morning doing this practice...it is a weird feeling, like hitting a wall everywhere I go in my body, and my mind has also been a mess due to an annoying situation with going back to work after mat leave (talking about lack of support for new mothers!). But I consciously tried to "untangle the stories from the sensations" like Meghan said, and finished the practice with as much concentration as I could muster. I even stopped the video and practiced flying pigeon until it flew on both sides. But the "blocked" sensation lingers on...guess it is just one of those days!

OOOOOO LAAAAA LAAAAA 🥴🫠🫥☠️

Olga Pachina this class just keeps getting better every time I revisit! I just did it again ❤️ I feel it is like a key to all the new doorways in the body and every time I do it, a new hidden doorway that I didn't even know existed opens up. My body craves this class every week now 😍
