was actually considering a 2nd set of blocks and a proper bolster but then my stingy head said MONEY!

Just use a folded blanket or pillow maybe? It’s taken quite a bit of time (5years) for me to manage cross legged and I still use my block or a blanket if my hips are stiff.
Day 2 done. As Sharkie says, it’s quite flowy. 28 mins went by quickly.

Is that because of your shoulder, Linds? Or are you a bit beasted from much climbing? Do you mean specifically ABOVE your head? if so then I guess as far as is comfortable (plus an incey bit of stretch) is fine.

Can't do big expansive grateful stretches with beachball over head or similar. Just can't.

Oh yes and found the plank with rounded shoulders v odd.
Nice practice, though. It's me, not the yoga.
