hehehe... giggle it. ;p
Its simply sitting completely consciously still. The slowest, shallowest breathing, avoiding unnecessary twitching, for extended periods of time. It sounds simple, but the more you're aware of your body's movements, it becomes harder and harder... and suddenly simple. My record to date is an hour and a bit. I usually leave those extended sessions mentally exhausted, as its hard to remain awake. Your mind tries to get you to move for so long, then it tries to make you go to sleep. Not giving into both is key.
Speaking of, twenty minutes of said yoga while sitting near my pupper. She's not feeling great today, and loves when I'm nearby, even if not paying attention to her.

Out of curiosity, what is Corpse Yoga? Yes I can Giggle it, but I would rather have your definition of it, if you don't mind.

Shorter Slow Flow practise today, because I had a request to film it to show what it really was.
Essentially, slowing everything down as far as you can, to understand how different moves can flow together into something perhaps, one day, greater. It also emphasises footwork, which is why I do it first thing in the morning, while I'm still groggy from sleep (and a night out the night before
) to push myself and improve my overall balance.
I also throw in thrusts, doing my upmost to keep the blade straight and unwavering, as I know thrusts are something that I've not practised as much as I could have.
