First and foremost, how great was yesterday's workshop?!? If you are too sore to make it to the joint today then here is a little practice for you to try at home.

Walk to the top of your mat
Uttanasana (5 breaths)

Baddha konasana (soles of feet together, knees out wide)
Lie down in supta baddha konasana or shavasana or stay seated if you have a few minutes for a meditation

Meditation suggestion: As you sit with your breath, think of a moment this weekend where you or someone you witnessed felt complete joy. Feel the warmth this brings to you. Focus on sending this warmth and love to someone in need (yourself or others!).

Enjoy your evening.

Namaste.
