37:14The Sacred Pause
The shorter, darker days are coming, this practice is an invitation to honour the call to pause. In this practice we will be exploring savasana’s variations, where you can fully rest.

Unless you are still in the first trimester and feel comfortable transitioning onto your back for the second pose.
