This 20 minute yoga for flexibility routine is designed to stretch a little bit of everything with basic yoga poses in a longer holding full body yoga stretch. Perfect level 1 flexibility yoga for getting limber, lean and flexible whether yoga for beginners or just feeling a bit tight. 💙 *Try the HIPS SLOW STRETCH:* www.sarahbethyoga.com/25-minute-hips-slow-stretch
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!
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
I can't express how much I appreciate your verbalization. Each minor adjustment I make based on your cues enhances my practice. I always enjoy my at-home sessions with you!
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.
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 😅
Girl don't think about it to much sit back and see what happens in the matter of 2-3 days you will able to finish the video and don't give up easily first start with :yoga for beginners and work your way up 🤗😁👍👍😇☺☺🙂
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!
Big fan of this video. Definitely not a yoga fanatic, but I was looking to increase my flexibility and looked at a ton of different beginners videos on UA-cam. This is definitely the best one, right amount of difficulty for a newbie, your explanations are clear and concise, and your voice itself is very easy to listen to. Thanks for the video.
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.
I actually finished this routine (with just a few adjustments) I followed it. !!! Not only that, I feel invigorated. I decided to wait to eat lunch so I could "dig in" and get better results. I am almost 65 so this is a major accomplishment.
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!
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 🙏❤️
Dear Sarah, I do crossfit and I love it, but I'm very stiff, so today I made big resolution to practice yoga every morning to get flexibility and help my herniated disc problems. Thank you for inspiring me, greetings from Brussels
Usually, I hate yoga; cause I know I’m not doing it right, and, they go so fast ,that I never truly relaxed. I sighed, and purred, the entire time I did this! and could keep my eyes closed and relaxed, because you described what we were doing so well! Definitely doing this every mornin thank you!
Thank you! I love your classes. I love that you crafted such amazing routines using basic poses. Your instructions are clear. You don't talk much, which keep me focused.
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!
The more I learn about yoga in my teacher training program, the more I appreciate your videos. Heartfelt appreciation! Thanks for sharing your gift to the world. Namaste
used to do yoga when i was waay younger, have been thinking about adding it to my self-care routine and finally completed this video today in hopes to improve my mental health & flexibility, thank you for this video! namaste :)
I've always wanted to get into yoga, this is perfect for starting out, i was able to do all the poses but definitively can feel how tight my muscles are, this is perfect ty.
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'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
I've been doing yoga with you in the mornings for a while now and finally discovered this old school video! I am so impressed that it is almost exactly the same as the newer videos you make and you're STILL at it. Amazing! Congratulations on being so consistent at putting out these super helpful videos. We all truly appreciate you!
I'm doing the Pilates Summer Series and really enjoyed this routine last week. I've just done it again - a bit easier second time round! I'm going to stick with this before moving in to level 2. Thank you for sharing this routine!
This has been and continues to be my go-to yoga video for the last 5 years. The instructions are detailed and easy enough for a beginner (or a really tight/injured weightlifter), yet the routine is comprehensive enough to provide instant relief for both body and mind. Thanks for the great video, Sarah!
I've been doing this for a couple days now and I can already feel a release in my back. I'm a believer, this is healing my back muscles slowly but surely and I'm excited for being able to completely do all of the poses.
Love the cues! I really like how you said 'trust that with continued practice you will gain flexibility'. I need to trust that in order to not become discouraged; I cannot do most poses well at the moment.
Wow, this is the first time I actually committed to doing a whole routine. I always shied away because my flexibility needs work, but your voice is very soothing and balanced and before I knew it... the 20 mins was up! I'm actually looking forward to seeing myself progress. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate what you do for others.
Really great video. It really did get my energy/chi flowing through my body. What I really enjoy about Sarah is that she takes the time to embrace each pose and doesn't rush through anything. I definitely will be using this again. Namaste.
I travel often and I'm always thankful I can bring you along; you are my weapon against jetlag. Thank you for posting such amazing routines, Sarah Beth.
I’ve been doing this yoga routine for the past 3 to 4 years. I haven’t always been consistent with it, so I’m not really flexible, but I have seen improvements when I was consistent ! Even tho I have periods where I don’t practice yoga much, I always come back to this video. It’s so comforting, I almost know it by heart. Thank you 🤍
I love this video....thank you so much....a mother of 4 has to keep that figure right and stay flexible. this video along with a few others helps me do that. I'm learning to meditate so the pose at the end was great. I stayed there for like 5 minutes, lol!
Everyone tells you this, but I had to as well. This was a lovely quick flow. You are clear and this was wonderful. I am so glad I found you. Thank you. The light in me honors the light in you. Namaste.

What I like about your videos is that you separated actions from talking. Much easier to follow than when combined
When??
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!
woo hoo!!!!!!!
Dayna Shamberg great job!
holy shit 5 days is fast

Nice info. Thank you!
Finally a yoga practice without any nonsense bullshit. Just pure instruction, great job!
Always a good one that pushes you just enough but not too much that you are discouraged.
Half happy baby makes me SO happy! Love this sequence Sarah!

6/30/2024. Sunday.
After many moons, I return to this 20. Thanks, as always.
I'm so glad to finally find someone with practice levels for different level Yogis. There's enough variety here to make my week not feel too routine.
7 years old but always one of my favorites
Sarah Beth understands what people like us need to become flexible again. She gives time for the stretch to work. I am a big fan. Thank you.
such a nice way to get back into the practice without feeling too intimidated...being at home doesn't hurt either!
Thank you for helping to relax my body after an intense chiro session. Very easy to follow and very informative. God bless!
Biggest mistake was stopping Yoga...Ugh! So glad I found you or maybe you found me :)
This is a good video but i could barely do any of the poses, but ill keep trying
this is random but your willingness and positivity just brightened my day :)
are you still doing yoga?
You can do it!! keep with it :)
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.
It's okay I struggled with these poses for a long time, you can do it!:)
thanks sarah beth. I love your style
Amazing. Not too challenging but not too easy either. Exactly what i was looking for
Thanks Sarah! Saved my life twice!
I actually finished this routine (with just a few adjustments) I followed it. !!! Not only that, I feel invigorated. I decided to wait to eat lunch so I could "dig in" and get better results. I am almost 65 so this is a major accomplishment.

I'm so glad that you did new video!! Thank you!))
Thank you, Sarah Beth!
I love how well the music paces the video and let's me know it hasn't lost connection when you are completely still for a few moments!
Dear Sarah, I do crossfit and I love it, but I'm very stiff, so today I made big resolution to practice yoga every morning to get flexibility and help my herniated disc problems. Thank you for inspiring me, greetings from Brussels
Thanks, Sarah Beth. You made me feel stronger today!
It never gets old! Love this practice, Thx🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Just what was needed this morning! Thank you / Diolch

Literally the best yoga sequence I've found! Thank you :) Will be back for more
Great, thank you. Just what I needed to get back into yoga.

Tuesday, 2/02/2021. This one is always on my list. Thanks, as ever.
Your videos have been so helpful! I could only get to the ten minute mark on day 3 but now, on day five, I've finally completed the video! So proud!
Love the cues! I really like how you said 'trust that with continued practice you will gain flexibility'. I need to trust that in order to not become discouraged; I cannot do most poses well at the moment.

Thanks for such a calming practice! I will be continuing for sure
Perfect for unwinding after waking up feeling stiff in my body. Thank you!
