I added this one to my favorites. It was perfect for me today after a very hard week. On top of all the turmoil this week, I lost a beloved family member. I love how you talk about breathing into the sensation, not just physical but also emotional. I never tried this approach before, and it was so healing. Thank you so much 🙏.

Rosanna, thank you so much for sharing. The response I sent four days ago didn't go through... so here we are now. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved family member. My heart goes out to you. I find that slowing down, being with, and breathing into sensation helps to create a little bit more space. Long sighs and exhales can help to release the pressure around the heart and clear the mind (for a moment).  Be gentle with yourself and do something everyday that brings you joy. Grateful for your presence here, Rosanna. Love, Alana 

Alana Mitnick , that's funny because I saw your response in my email. Thank you for taking the time to respond and for the advice. You are so right. Your classes bring me joy, so I think I'm on the right track!

Rosanna, you are! xo

I think my body moves into a parasympathetic response when it hears your voice! This was deeply nurturing and restorative. Thank you Alana. This allows me to tune in and take time to listen.

Ali, Your words and presence warm and open my heart. This is one of my favorite comments of all time. So grateful for the teachings and techniques of Yoga that guide us IN. Love, Alana 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Beatiful practice. Perfect for releasing tension in the body and mind. Loved it! Be safe

Beautiful, Viri... thank YOU for joining me in Yoga. Identifying and releasing physical and emotional tension is an ongoing practice and skill. Our beloved teacher Ravi Ravindra speaks of this in his teachings. Stay close. Love, Alana  

Thank you so much Alana - I love this practice- the zen bouncing and patting is lovely.  These 60 minute practices have been so helpful to me during the pandemic.  Blessings to you!

Hi Beth F, I love your profile pic of you and your pup! Thank you for joining me in Yoga. I am so delighted to hear that these practices have been helpful during the pandemic. That is my wholehearted intention. Blessings and love to you! Stay close. Warmly, Alana
