Dear Caren, It's me again. I am 72 and have ankylosing spondylitis and this set has been such a blessing to me. Feeling so much gratitude. Bless you for your generosity and sharing your vibration.

[@carenhope]

A joy to practice together. 🙏🏻 Yoga is a gift to us all.

Thank you Caren! This was a great, gentle and relaxing yoga sequence. I'm so glad that you're back! You're one of my favorite online yoga teachers. I especially like your morning yoga videos but this one was great too. I really like the way you teach and speak - so calming and makes me feel there's no need to rush or stress about anything.

I was having anxiety and decided to do some restorative yoga. Yours was the first one to appear. Thank you! I feel relaxed and centred.

[@carenhope]

I’m sorry to hear you were struggling and I’m happy to have held that space for you. Glad to hear the practice helped. 🙏🏻

[@marionfrancois1356]

I liked this practice. Very nice. I just had trouble to stay on the bolster at the last pose (legs against the wall) so I just pushed my self away from the wall a bit and placed 2 pillows under my hips instead. Still, I felt a lot of pressure on my shoulders and neck... Next time I won't put anything under my hips.

[@ralphrivera9341]

Thank you Caren, it was just what I needed and your calm, clear instructions were so helpful!

[@carenhope]

Honored to practice with you.

[@bethluhta3271]

excellent

[@ZaiannaOrtiz]

Great video! Thank you. What microphone and camera set up did you use? I'd like to record a similar quality video :)

[@pumasalvatore1965]

hi Caren, you are the first one I see leading a restorative session the way I do at Amchara. I loved the supported Jathara Parivartanasana wich I will integrate in my sessions (never thought about that). Namaste

[@carenhope]

Happy to meet a fellow restorative yoga teacher. Let me know how that pose goes for you in your classes. Where in the world are you? 🙏🏻

[@pumasalvatore1965]

Hello Caren, the posture was thorougly enjoyed yesterday evening. I have been based on Gozo island for the last 2 years working at the Amchara Retreat. I propose restorative yoga in the evening as a detox supporting practice along with a gentle Hatha in the morning. And you Caren, where are you based?

[@Sunnigirl07]

Aw thank you so much for this. I have anxiety/depression and this really helps me. Just curious to know what each pose benefits eg. The lungs, heart etc? Thanks so much again feeling truly blessed to have found you 💕❤

[@carenhope]

All poses affect the parasympathetic nervous system, and for some you may feel sensations in different places. But I wouldn’t say certain poses are for specific organs because yoga works on a holistic level. 😊

[@vev278]

what if you do not have a wall available?

[@carenhope]

Do you have a chair or couch? You can try Legs Up The Chair instead, with knees bent and your calves on the seat.

[@vev278]

@@carenhope thank you! My bedroom has no wall space and that's where I practice. Can I also put my calves on the bed?

[@louiseclarke7814]

That was amazing but the time went too fast!

[@carenhope]

Time flies when you’re deeply relaxing? 😅
