DAY 13 Let go upper body yoga release | illuminate 30-day challenge 2026

Catching up on January’s new sessions whenever I can, and once again blessed by your words and wisdom after a wonderful practice. I really appreciate your purposeful explanations of various poses - it really helps to get it just right (or almost?) and feel a difference immediately. There is so much more I could thank you for, but I don’t want to seem creepy with an excessively long comment! 😂 I’ll just say thank you for being YOU, Paula!

Thank you so much, again, Paula! Joy! Gratefullness!

I love, love today's practice. How opening in the body and the mind it was for me today...letting go of whatever I didn't know was there, but didn't deserve to take up space in my body. This practice of yoga as a teacher truly supports my efforts to those I teach...college students. It helps to support my own reason for beginning my own practice 14 years ago (when it was purely physical to alleviate stenosis in the body) but changed significantly beyond that realm.' Thank you Ms. Paula for your offering today...the ending Dharma was beautiful. Namaste.

Another beautiful one! Can I not feel guilty I skipped the one before since it's longer, I'll do it tomorrow?! I think you'll say it's OK! Have a nice day or evening.

That was another lovely practice, thank you 🙏

It's interesting that you mentioned our wholeness in the end of this practice because, strangely, during the final part of my shavasana, I was wondering about the fragility of us human beings, how fragile we actually are and how easy to be damaged and hurt, both in the body and the mind. It's reassuring you mentioned our wholeness that remains untouched, no matter what happens outside. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

It’s OUR pleasure. 🙏🏽

This was wonderful thanks, lovely to get some leg stretch in alongside the neck and back, but in a lower energy way. Thankyou

As always, somehow you manage to have perfect timing! My upper body was very tense this morning, and this couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you for the practice 🙏

It is through this neck and shoulder work that I found your teaching, Paula! Years ago. Thank you so much for this patient and mindful practice. It was exactly what I needed. Namaste.
