    I started yoga on this routine 5 days ago. When I first bent over I could barley get my hands to my calfs because I was so stiff and it hurt so bad. After these 5 days I can now touch my toes and even go a little further and get the first knuckles of my fingers on the floor. You rock!

    Always a good one that pushes you just enough but not too much that you are discouraged.

    So..I know this is a way old video but just thought I'd let you know it's been a huge benefit for me. I have recently dropped +/- 35 lbs by eating healthy and increasing my exercise regimen. Part of that regimen includes doing this yoga twice a week to loosen up after the harder workouts. I do "leg day" on Wednesdays and then this yoga on Thursdays and I am almost never sore. I also am training for a marathon so I do my long runs on Saturday mornings. Again I follow this with a yoga session on Sunday mornings and it really has helped my muscles recover faster. You ought to consider doing a segment geared toward athletes and recovery. Anyway...just wanted to say thank you and also keep up the good work.

    Some of us girls have a mini yoga group, we meet in our homes. We have tried many yoga cd's and instructors. When we found Sarah Beth we all loved her practices and calm, way of explaining the moves so even a novice can be successful. I joined the 30 day challenge and really enjoyed not only the yoga, but the inspiration was excellent as well. I just turned 69, am overweight, have some arthritis, but find yoga, especially the Sarah Beth style very easy to do. Yoga keeps me moving and going so I can be more active in my senior years. Thank you so much Sarah Beth for your dedication and your fans wish you many yoga years to come. grammyo

    What I really like about this practice is, that the time for each poses is long. So you really can adjust your body right and try to "master" the poses... Thanks again for a nice video!

    I'm only 22 and have issues with my hips and lower back (sciatic-something according to my doctor) so I was told I need to start stretching regularly. To keep me honest, I started going to yoga classes at my college for a while which helped quite a bit. But now with finals approaching I just don't have time to get over to the gym monday/wednesday/friday. I searched youtube for something quick to do in the meantime so I wouldn't go back to being in pain all the time. Glad I found these. Quick enough to do before bed and I can feel it helping the areas I need especially.

    I found your videos 7 years ago & I used a wide variety of them daily for a few years. Then I fell out of practice & strength training for another few years. I'm now 1 week into daily practice & training so of course I went back to the faithful Sarah Beth Yoga. Thank you for your content 🙏❤️

    Coming back to Yoga after years of neglect, stiffening, and declining balance. After all of the videos I have used over 25+ years, this was the first instructor to recommend scissoring the heel to bent knee for leg stabilization. It works BEAUTIFULLY! Thank you!

    Day one and I barely made it halfway. I always thought yoga was easy like just stretching. But my breathing was so shallow and my arms were shaking just from holding them up (and I'm an athlete) even the child's pose was difficult for me haha but I'll try again tomorrow 😅

    • @notsotypical6202
      @notsotypical6202 4 роки тому +3

      Literally me too. Anything that requires upper body strength or using "my core" my whole body starts trembling. It's INSANE because I don't consider myself THAT weak but it sure was a reality check when I started. Definitely the yoga helps though, some days it's harder than others but overall it gets easier the more frequently you do it even if it's only a 5 minute video!

    @rachelleitch9029 10 років тому

    Wow! When I did this video when it was first uploaded, I was barely able to make it half way through the video. I haven't been practicing relgiously, only when I need to gain balance and peacefulness in my life and when I am not working. But now I was able to carry out the whole video, being mindful in each movement. Just shows that you can progress if you practice! Thansk Sarah-Beth.

    This has been and continues to be my go-to yoga video for the last 5 years.

      Keep trying, everyone had to start with "attempting" a workout. The first attempt is expected to be poor and not complete, that is the way to revealing the true forms. If someone claims they were already great at something, they are living a façade of ego over conscious reality tucked below.

    On days that I don't have to be at work super early, I've been waking up and doing either this video. the 20 minute hip opening, or the 16 minute yoga for flexibility (hip flexors and hamstrings). I've been regularly weightlifting for four years and have a desk job, so I've built up a lot of tension and staleness in my hips and hamstrings. Your videos have been an absolute godsend - I feel so much more energized and flexible. I've even started incorporating various stretches into my workout routine in between sets because I'm so addicted to the way it makes me feel. Thank you!

    Have done yoga on and off most of my life. Most teachers are good at doing it, not always good at teaching it. Sarah Beth, I think your videos are the best around. Your voice is soothing, you allow space for people to actually BE in the postures, and in yoga it doesn't matter if your leg doesn't go as high as you wish, it's the journey that matters. Thank you SB so so much!!! Many blessings!

    I've been doing this every day for the past week and honestly I feel so good. obviously becoming really flexible is going to take time but I do feel like it's making a difference. Thank you! Namaste x

    Love this routine. Perfect time, too. Sometimes 1 hour yoga sessions can be demanding for my body so I'm loving your 20-30 minute routines! Thanks so much, from a fellow Sarah, haha. xoxo
