Hi Paula, I am new here, joining from California, and absolutely in love with your classes. Thank you so much for this 30-day sequence which has gotten me back to a regular yoga practice for the first time in years. In the supine figure four, I feel the stretch intensely all the way from my outer hip along the outer thigh to my knee. Is that my IT band? It’s very effective and quite intense, so I want to be sure I’m doing it right.

Hi Sarah, welcome and thank you for being here! I'm really glad the 30-day challenge is supporting you to return to a regular practice - well done. It sounds like you are targeting the right area as the figure 4 stretch works through the outer hips (glutes) which the IT band is connected to. The way this feels for individuals can vary slightly depending on what's happening for you and areas of tightness, so unless there is sharp pain and you are finding that it provides relief, it sounds like it is beneficial for you. Hope that helps xx

Revisited this practice after doing the challenge last month. Perfect for something challenging (for me!) yet familiar. Thanks for including a nice long shavasana at the end of the practices.

Another challenging one, but very rewarding. I am a dancer, and there is something so satisfying about a practice starting to soak into my body and become muscle memory. Thank you Paula :)

Such a pleasure Nell, how lovely to hear about your background and you are completely right, moving into muscle memory is a significant shift in the way we experience the practice xox ❤️
