I stopped doing yoga and mediation a while ago because my anxiety was getting the best of me. I’m so glad I made my way back today, thank you so much for this, it means a lot.
So glad you’re back!
It be alright we all been there, there’s no light without dark
Same but one year after you ❤

I almost started crying after this. I was in such a state of peace I was completely oblivious from the current stress I had. Thank you for this, truly.
This meditation found me at an absolutely perfect time. Ive been feeling very disconnected from my body and my root self and this guided lesson helped me remember that im not the flower being cut away from my roots and carried off. I am the root and the seed. So the flower will bloom again with enough love and time 💕 youre an excellent teacher!
Beautifully said. Thank you so much for sharing. 💛
wow. so lovely
I am the root and the seed. This is beautiful!
It’s wild that a year later I’m reading this comment, and this is the first time I’m doing any root chakra work, but somehow that was exactly the visualization I had: someone coming over and trying to pull me out of the ground as a flower, but my roots being so big and strong that not even my stem will break-no one can carry you away 💚
Not me openly weeping at the flower seed meditation 😭❤
As a mom of four (7,5,4,&1) I don’t have much time to myself but this 15 mins felt like self care! I’m feeling more balanced and relaxed. I will use this video for family yoga time. Thank you for posting. 🔥🔥🔥
Instead of grabbing my phone first thing in the morning, I chose to do yoga in the morning for 2 days in a row. I feel so grounded already. My root chakra is very weak. This will help me with my anxiety, thank you so much for sharing ❤.
This was a great exercise. I loved the visualization part. I was a sunflower seed and I released a cry because I felt that I was being planted and that the darkness I’m coming out of was all for my good. Gratitude.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Just decided to start my practices again after feeling so unbalanced for months and this was my first yoga practice back and damn it felt good! Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much for watching! 💛
me too!! first time i’ve practiced in a whiiile and this was the first vid i watched. love their energy
Same ❤️
So much needed! What a beautiful meditation at the end...I am going to use this vision to help keep grounded
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Arion! 💛
this is an incredibly healing practice, thank you very much for leading and sharing. there is so much trauma in our world - it feels at a fever pitch. grounding is imperative to our survival in community with each other.
endless gratitude to you 🤍
Thank you so much, Stevie. So grateful for your continued support. You’re much appreciated! 💛
Don't get offended, you might not be the best yoga trainer but your energy, your selflesness and your calmness brings me to the mat every day for the recent weeks. I really enjoyed your chakra sequences and I'd really appreciate if you make longer and in-depth chakra videos. Thank you really much for your efforts. Namaste!
Well thank you for the positive things you said.
Here’s a playlist with more chakra videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLu7v76kvZZtQYhAMDdVbSpxmzYv_z3LMo.html
Why not just give a compliment
I literally have never touched a yoga mat until I made it my New Years resolution and I just want to say I really love your work. Your presence , voice and set up is so cute I feel like we’re pals hanging out having a yoga day. It’s lit lol. NGL I almost got destroyed by the crown chakra vid BUT once I gain more practice I’ll tackle it again. It’s always lovely to find more POC to follow in spiritual spaces online . Namastay 😘🌱😂💖💖💖🙏
This is great to hear! So honored you’ve trusted to guide you as you start your journey! Peace & love to you! 🙏🏽💛💛🙏🏽
Perfect way to start the day, especially the brief meditation at the end. Thank you, Nico!
Wow!! Thank you! I was feeling so anxious and spacey after a qigong routine and this short yoga flow grounded me down perfectly and completely. I will be sticking with just yoga from now on!!
I’m happy it could be helpful! Thank you for watching!
I love this quick practice! So nice to unwind (literally!) after a long day ❤
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to align myself and starting with my root chakra. So I’ve been going through some different root yoga videos to see which ones I liked and I really felt connected with these stretches and it was perfect! ❤
I loved this I needed this in the darkest of my times this will be something I do everyday to keep me grounded and focused.
For 15 min this is great I'm not busy enough with yoga so ill sqeeze this into my routine. I like the effort put into it. I'll continue appreciating these videos.
Second grounding practice and my favorite so far.I feel so open
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! 💛
ive suffered traumatic loss over the past 6 years, but i am now beginning to heal. in therapy, we are working on grounding techniques. at home, i am now starting my practice after a 6-year hiatus. i enjoy your pace and flow. thank you for making these videos. i just started a YOGA FAVORTES list and this video is the first added. namaste
Wow, Kari. Thanks so much for sharing that with me, it means so so much to me. I’m glad you’ve started healing & that these videos can be helpful for you during your journey. Wishing you the utmost peace & love. Appreciate you! 💛
the flower visualization was so beautiful 🥲 i really felt it and that was so special. Thank you Nico💓
thank you! really love these 15 min grounding practices. having a shorter flow is helpful to center my energy when i have breaks between events throughout the day. agree with all the others who've commended you: you're an excellent, caring and affirming instructor!
Thank you so much!
Loved every minute of this! My peony seed grew into a beautiful field of flowers, the scent was amazing and people came from all over to pick the flowers. Thank you, Love Always 💕
Awww I love peonies
Meditation used to be so hard for me but every since I found your videos I crave to be on the mat with you sharing this sacred moment of stillness. Thank you 🫶🏾
Love that! 🫶🏽
I cried. I really needed this. Thank you
When I tell you that this found me right on time! I absolutely love this!
Rose's, grafting, specific soil, so much sun and attention. I never thought about how much I am that which I am attracted to. Thanks for this practice. I've been taking time to read about the chakras so I decided to do this one since I came across it first before this months challenged. ❤
Love this! Exactly what i needed. Especially love the hip lift at 9.10, this was incredible for grounding. Thank you for reminding us to tense our glutes, i didn't realise how much of a difference this would make to feeling grounded!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! 💛
I loved this practise and the meditation at the end, thank you 🧘🏾♀️🌼✨
Thank you for your support! 💛
Grounded and blooming from this practice. Thank you 🙏
Your comment about the flower seeds hit me hard. I lost my mom last weekend. She had some herb seeds she wanted to plant. In the spring, I will plant those seeds in her honor. Thank you as always.
Thank you for sharing, Troy. Peace & love to you 💛
I come back to this video a lot, it's the perfect time for me! Thank you Nico. 💜
loved how you kept the practice moving. it didnt feel too slow so my brain didnt have time to get distracted. and the meditation was great! thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing that, Sarah! Glad you enjoyed the practice!
the meditation at the end was just perfect!
Well this opened some shit up I wasn't aware I was dealing with. Helped put some symbols in place that make HUGE sense. I care for trees that I find as seedlings, then when they're strong enough I begin to train them into bonsai. When you began the guided visualization I couldn't think of a flower--I'm a biology student with focuses on botany & mycology, I garden, was raised with & always had plants, even if just in pots. I've been raising orchids longer than I've been sober, and I've been sober more than a decade. Not a single damn flower came to mind, so instead of overthinking I just rolled with it: I'm in a seed, don't know what I am, it'll become apparent as I grow. And I grew. I pictured myself growing, and when my _leaves_ began to form I was already out of the ground. Oops, not overthinking it, this happens to a lot of plants, but what's taking shape in my head is...a juniper.
I create bonsai from trees & seedlings I find already growing. I often find juniper in thin leaf litter, in ditches or culverts where organic detritus like leaves & grass clippings have built up. They might be a little stunted or misshapen, but they'll grow healthy in concrete cracks. They'll grow for ages in lawns being run over by mowers, shaping themselves according to the routine height of the lawn. The ones in sidewalks & lawns may be ideal for my purposes, but they're embedded in their situations. I'm not that juniper though: I'm a leaf litter juniper. I won't survive without deeper roots in time, but I _can_ survive without grounded conditions for years. These trees often don't make it. I have _many_ friends with life parallels to mine who haven't survived. More didn't land in good places & withered, or they stayed with shallow roots & eventually couldn't hold on in a real storm, or died where they were because we simply can't survive in the kinds of situations in which we found ourselves. Some stayed in a situation with external abuse like a lawn & failed to send out enough roots, create a deep well of sustenance from which to draw strength, and the mowing eventually eliminated too much.
I'm one of my bonsai. Shallowly rooted, moved around, uprooted multiple times, forced with pain & determination and shaped by elements from in- and outside to become what I am. I'm not a dandelion growing though the cracks, I'm not kudzu fluorishing in anything close to appropriate conditions & overcoming everything. I'm that juniper in a ditch.
Fuck, man, that touched me DEEPLY. Thank you.
thank you for sharing 💛
Nico, your short, effective and compassionately designed yoga practices are just what I need to get me back to my love of yoga before experiencing the debilitating effects of covid!! Thank you❤
You’re welcome!
I love love love love how you explain things. Litterally anyone can do this and feel seen and understood 💕
I’m blown away because this literally made me cry! I was fine before the yoga session and 1/3 in, I started breaking down 🥹 there was definitely some stagnant energy !!! The stretches felt so good. Thank you ❤
So glad you could find that release!
So grateful to be here with you ❤
Thank you, Nico! This flow was exactly what I needed!
I’m in my 200 hr yoga training and I love listening to your flows - I love your cues so effective and clear and I love learning modifications from you! Thank you for shining bright!
Grateful for you!
You're so welcome!
You're an amazing instructor! I loved the meditation at the end and I am drawn to tell you a quick story about my experience with it. The first flower that popped into my head was an iris, but then my gardener mind was like "iris is a bulb not a seed" so I switched to marigold, as I have harvested some over-wintered marigold seeds a few weeks ago. After the practice, I went to my window and was enjoying the warmth of the sunlight while saying affirmations and I looked to my left on the cat tower and low and behold...a marigold seed right on top of the cat tower.
Wow. It was destined! What a lovely story.
I forgot how much I loved this yoga practice!! It’s been a year since I’ve done this one. Absolutely love 🌹✨
Amazing. The grounding and the blossoming 💫💫💫🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
I finished this practice with a big smile on my face. Thank you so much ❤✨
one of my favorites so far! Your voice is so comforting as I'm using yoga now to help with therapy. Sending you love and gratitude Nico!
Beautiful flow. Thank you so much for the visualization at the end. Adding that to my grounding practice. ☮️💟
Thank you! The meditation helped me realize how constantly we change and grow without noticing it.
Absolutely. Glad you liked it, Stacey!
I LOVE this!! My absolute fav so far..I love the Sun already, but this morning felt totally connected even MORE! Thank you again Nico for sharing your amazing gift!!
Thank you!
Loved this whole sequence! I did it as soon as I woke up this morning for work. I wasn't feeling it until after trying this class. I feel so much better. Not only that, but the instruction tips and suggestions were great all along the way. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
I love the orange flowers in the background and I love how peaceful your practices always help me to feel I'm glad you do what you do you help so many🧘♀️❤❤❤ you helped me today thankyou
Thank you! 🙏🏽💛
Peace and love and blessings from above🕉🌸
This is pure genius. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was sheer genius. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
Inspired me with the seed of a flower section to do a practice with my clients . Ase 🙏🏾 Thankyou Nico
This is how I choose to “wake up”, and I love it here. Thank you. 🌻✨🙏🏽
You’re so welcome! 🙏🏽💛✨
You are the best!! I didn’t know my hip muscles were so tight. Thank you😊
Thank you for this practice - the meditation in particular really resonated with me. Thank you for this reminder that the rain is simply there to help me grow and bloom! 🌻
Appreciate you! 💛
I love that you said to imagine yourself as your favorite flower seed like I didn't know that would make me so happy ahhh I absolutely loved it thank youuu!
Happy you liked it!
I started crying as I pictured myself blooming. Thank you ❤️
Wow! I bet you are blooming. Thank you for sharing. Peace & love to you! 💛
I am so grateful to have discovered your channel. Thank you. Peace, Love & Light to you and all your subscribers
Peace & love to you, Bob. So grateful for the support you continue to show.
Dissociated super hard today idk why but looked up grounding yoga and came across your video, thank you so much for helping me today
Dope session for me having short time. I am in gratitude for my practice today.
I had a really bad start to my day, so this helped pull me back down and get things back on track. I enjoyed the shorter version of the root chakra video!! ✌🏻💚
💛
Peace and love 2 you as well. The flower metaphor was absolutely beautiful ❤🎉
Thank you so much! Coming back to this a year later is incredible!
literally love your videos even when I felt like I couldn't stay consistent with my yoga practice you're page made it so easy for me to start again!
I’ve been feeling super anxious and now i just feel happy. Thank you
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you. Alas answered the call to start my morning off this way. So good. Your guidance was beautiful. I could understand even with my eyes closed as a beginner 🙏🏿
Wow, thank you for sharing that. That makes me feel good. Appreciate you watching! 💛
i got lost for a while and decided to take an hour today to meditate and practice yoga for my root chakra. i meditated first and then followed your yoga flow. i am overwhelmed with emotion in such a secure way i feel like crying. thank you for sharing niko.
Thank you; this was a nice practice for when I was feeling out of sorts on a Friday afternoon. I enjoy your live instruction and inclusion of mudras.
Your lessons always find me where I need them.
right before you said to imagine myself as a flower seed, I had started to picture myself as a tree - a skinny but strong tree trunk running up the length of my chakras to the crown of my head where tiny leaves were sprouting, the roots pulling me steadfast against the ground. The rain pitter-pattered on my head leaves and then sakura flowers blossomed. thank you for this video, it was so nice to do really quick before tackling something stressful
So peaceful and healing! ThAnkhs Sistar, loving your videos.
Thank you! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Bless you! 💜✨ 🧘🏾♀️
I was a lotus!!! thank you for your videos they bring much needed sanity, love and compassion for myself!
💛
How you guide through the yoga is soothing and reassuring. Not complex and it does what I always want a yoga session to do for me, my go to channel to get my yoga in 🙏🏼
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
I absolutely needed this yoga tonight and it was perfect. I feel so relaxed and grounded and I will be returning to this yoga video many times
