I loved the Tranquilo practice in this month‘s Energize theme, and was inspired to check out the Half Moon foundation video as I haven’t had much experience with it. That in turn encouraged me to come back to this and the triangle foundation video (why not build from the ground up!)

Man, I was surprised how tired my arms got! Slowing down and paying closer attention to all details brings out the nuances but is valuable and sometimes difficult work! I appreciate the resources we have in these videos that allow us to come back to study and refine our practice from „step one“, even after all this time.
Thank you!

In reply to Egasel. I have the exact same issue with my knees , have you found a solution ? I love yoga but it’s very rough on my knees.

Thank you for video. I read somewhere that Tabletop posture is good to energize Anahat chakra. Your video helped me to understand what the posture is. Thanks again.

Hi, thank you for teaching the basics for 'newbies'. I have a couple of queries.... with the Tabletop position, are your knees always on the floor, or off the floor? My last query is... you often say to hold a pose for three breadths... is this the minimum number, or the maximum? Thanks again for your advice. J

In reply to Cassidy. Hi, I recently had to stop yoga as I have frozen shoulder. Now I'm doing daily light exercises to regain movement in my shoulder. Do you have a program that would help me without too much strain?

I feel like this is helping with my back problem a little bit. My back doesn't hurt as bad as it normally does. I wonder how much good this is doing for me.

Hello Adriene! Thank you for the amazing videos. I have a few questions, if you don't mind! I sometimes struggle t -ok, I always struggle- o understand what you mean by heart over pelvis? I know it sounds incredibly easy and logical but somehow it confuses me. My second questions regards knees! (she said knees??) when I do the table pose or other poses I feel sore there for a few days afterwards. Is there something wrong with my posture (as far as you can tell, of course!) And actually the third point is a request: I really struggle to do the runners lunge postures due to -hum- generous upper body (no thank you mother nature!). If others are like in your yoga community maybe a video without runners lunge would be great? or a "special upper body"! Anyway, great thanks again Adriene!

Hi Adriene!

I just LOVE your yoga classes. I just have one question. When I'm in table top position you say to draw my belly button towards my spine. But when I do that, I feel like I can't breathe properly. I've always learned to breath through my belly. So when I inhale my belly gets bigger. Do you have any tips how I can solve this problem?

may the sunlight be with you!

Hi Adriene!

Just a question about my yoga mat, I bought a new mat since the one I had was getting old and losing grip. However the new one I bought has an awful rubber smell and seems to have even less grip than the one I currently have? Any tips on washing or how to make it gain some grip?

Thanks
