Thank you this was lovely🙏I missed an ending to it or did i miss something?
Hello Trude, Thank you for practicing with us. We are experimenting with letting people rest in savasna or the final pose because so many people turn off way before the end. Thank you again for being with us. With gratitude, Melissa
I loved it and i am back again ☺️I slept so good after last time🙏
