One more thing - I"m going to Berlin and Holland with my husband Tom. PRobably we'll be running around sight seeing but it would be fun if I could drop into a morning class which would happen around 3-4pm over there. Also want to say how much I LOVE the 5pm on Sunday time. Maggie

Wonderful class Al! I had an interesting moment towards the end of class. Stretching my legs above the pelvis with the strap caused some pain in the stretching kind of way i.e. no danger, but the pain translated into something else - kind of like a dark color. Isn't that weird? I guess my body felt safe enough not to be alarmed in that pose.

I have a question. On Fridays when I come to class, I often have just finished breakfast. How do I handle a pose like downward facing dog? It doesn't feel good to be upside down with a full. stomach. Aside from getting up earlier or skipping breakfast, is there a way to modify down dog that could be helpful in keeping breakfast in its place?

Al, its so great to have you back teaching. Especially because of what it represents in terms of your healing. This Sunday time slot is good for me. I hope it works well for you too. Today's class was great. I loved the talk at the beginning. These days it's easy to feel overwhelmed but realizing strength in the way you described it gives me a way to not feel powerless in the face of all that's happening.

Hi Al, Today's class was like a homecoming for me. It's been a long time since I was able to take a class live. And what a class!  It was transcendent! I"m sending you all good wishes for healing and ease.  Maggie
