Loved the Jill Miller book club and wish it could have been longer. I am a little behind in the reading yet will catch up. Maybe you can "assign" us a few of the rolling techniques for our next book club meetings and we can review and talk about our experiences together. I find your posts to be so inviting and informative. Thank you!
I loved the book club too. It's a huge book so I am slowly reading and absorbing the detailed material. Having assignments is always helpful as I struggle to stay on track.
Thank you for the Podcast recommendation. I am heading home and I just downloaded the episode with Kim Weeks. It will be a nice companion to your latest podcast "How yoga has changed". I resonated with your conversation with Jason about your insights on your yoga practice and the current trends in the yoga community. I vividly remember my first yoga class. I left my 6 month old boy and entered the hot, cozy Ashtanga studio. I moved and stumbled my way through the practice and my attention was focused. When savasana came at the end of class, I was relaxed and completed at peace for the first time in years. AMAZING. It hooked me, and my practice has shifted and changed over the past 20 years.
I have loved the energy of the book, Andrea’s summaries, the rolling, and the meeting with Jill have opened in my participation of the book club.
I have a sequence of rolling I try to get to each evening and find I sleep so much better when I do it. All of the exercises are from the book. I start at the feet, then move to the front body with the coregeous ball. I set the timer for 2-3 min and move from navel to sternum holding and doing the breathing in each place along the front body. Then I use 2 corgeous balls to do lower back. I go back to the tune up balls and roll anywhere I feel guided and end with the ball under low back with breath work. I also will add the side skin roll shear.
I don’t have all the roll names down, but this has been my routine during the book club.
I do love how easy it is to just keep going once I start! I'm having a really hard time sleep right now b/c of menopause so maybe I will try night time rolls for awhile to see if it helps.

Thanks for your idea Julie! I'm running with it! We'll have our first Zoom next Monday :)

It's amazing how many of us remember those early (or even first) Savasanas! Speaks volumes.
