After a year and a half I could finally made half a mermaid haha. I love this routine because it's short and yet so challenging. Thanks so much, Brett. God bless you.
Another great practice! I'm still a long way off a good mermaid pose, but was very surprised to find I could at least grab the foot for the first part! Big progress has been made in 4 days.
I am very excited that at 54 years of age I was able to get into wheel (backbend) and ALMOST into mermaid! Thank you for these videos Brett!
What I like is making the flow my own. I only did 1/2 Mermaid, and no Pigeon, but I entered the sweetest child pose ever! Thank you. You look beautiful in Mermaid and King Pigeon, by the way!
YES!! Love that you make it your own! And thank you
I'm so happy to be able to do this practice again! I had hip surgery almost a year ago, and I haven't been able to do much pigeon, but I as able to modify some of the poses today and it felt great. Thanks!
Awesome!! Wishing you continued healing, and see you on the mat 💖💖💖
I made it only halfway - after being a person who had started yoga as a child. It reminds me how practice is key. Showing up every day. Thank you
Your yoga practices are my absolute favorite! You're quick but not too quick...it's perfect!
YAY! So glad you like them! Make sure you are signed up for Ritual coming on the 18th! brettlarkin.com/ritual
I'm nearly crawling off of my mat now, so I know I really needed all that hip opening the last few days.
I've made it to a king pigeon! Before when I was regullary streching I could immediately come to mermaid, but didn't know that it's an asana and it's from yoga. Thank you very much for this wonderful sessions! Feeling energized! Namaste!
Amazing!!!
What a wonderful class! Didn't succeed (yet) to get fully into Mermaid, let alone full pigeon, but enjoyed the class a lot!
Thank you for practicing with me!!
This was a great practice! I didn't go to full Mermaid, but instead, I focused on keeping my bent leg at a 90-degree angle which felt great on my hip! Thank you!
Yay for listening to your body!!! Thank you so much for practicing with me!!
I made it to half mermaid i.e. from pigeon with a small bolster under the bent leg hip I could pretty easily hold my back foot with my hand. I had my opposite hand resting on the bolster. My body said to go no further so I just sat there in that pose and it felt amazing. Thanks for always giving us permission and reminders to go to our personal level in the poses.
Amazing!!! Way to listen to your body! See you on the mat.
Feeling wonderfully relaxed. Great preparation for mermaid. Alas I cannot do it due to hip problems. I always topple over to the side. 😃
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
HI Brett :-) I am really enjoying this challenge! I moved through your chakra challenge and loved it and will continue to return to it! I am learning so much, thank you! After just finishing this session I have never felt my hips so open. I have been experiencing tight hips and shoulders for a long time now and I am gradually feeling them open up and becoming more fluid and feeling greater ease and flow. It feels soooo good!!! In turn my life is flowing more easily too, so beautiful! I haven't made it into mermaid or king cobra but today I was ok with that. I normally would get a bit frustrated but today I acknowledged how far I have come. I am really grateful for your work! Peace, light and love
I love seeing comments like this! Thank you for sharing your practice with me, see you on the mat!
Pigeon is a challenge for me already, let alone marmaid and king pigeon ;) I really loved the class. So refreshing for my stiff hips
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Thank you for these videos. I've been lifting weights for 3 years. Recently, due to neglecting my stretches, I injured my knees (especially the left). I'm dealing with some tendonitis, thankfully not permanent damage. I have decided to take a step back and heal my body. Google led me to you and now on day 4, I've felt significantly better. Maybe it's the universe speaking to me that I shouldn't have let go from my yoga practice years ago. :)
It is an honor to practice with you, thank you for being here! 💖💖💖
Thank you! I had a long pigeon pose and it was good!
Goodness, that was a "stretch." I didn't quite make it to King Pigeon, but I surprisingly made it to mermaid pose with a little modification (block under my hip and another yoga mat under my knee). I am now ready to take on the day. Thank you Brett Larkin and Yogi Surprise! :)
Wow day 4 was awesome. I could only get my foot in my elbow on right side but could not lift my left arm and just my hand to my foot on left for mermaid pose. Don't know if I will ever get there but it is so fun working on my flexibility. I could not have gotten anywhere near this last year when I first started practicing with you. I have learned through your teaching not to get caught up in the pose just enjoy the journey and boy I am enjoying it. Can't wait to join uplifted membership later in the summer. So much love to you Brett - Namaste!
😚🤗
Mermaid pose is no joke. Didn't quite get all the way there...but I'm super excited to keep practicing to get there! Thank you Brett!!
I managed a really wonky-looking sort-of mermaid, hurray! :D But what really amazed me was how different just getting into regular Pigeon felt compared to yesterday, after the more intense opening that came before. Great class!
What a lovely, energizing class! I did Day 3 and 4 back to back today, because I wanted a 1 hr practice. It was nice how both classes concentrated on the hips. Loved being able to go into Pigeon again in this class. It will be a while (maybe never!) before I can get into full Mermaid, but for now I am enjoying being able to go a little further in Pigeon than I used to. I think it was easier for me because of doing the previous class, which also featured Pigeon, so my hips were nice and warmed up.
Thank you so much Brett!
Awesome!!
Thanks Brett! Not fully there yet but good instructions to get there! You are the best!!! xo
💖💖💖
Love this practice! Challenging ... not quite able to do mermaid but something to work towards!
Yay, I'm so glad you loved this class! Practice with me again soon💖💖💖
I enjoyed today although I could not do the mermaid or King pigeon. It was good to watch for the future and I can appreciate that you have advanced students who need to be catered for as well. Many thanks
My soul gets peace here only
once again ty!!! what a great way to start my day!! namaste
Love breath of fire and closing short meditation! Keeps me motivated and coming back for the next day! 💗
Day 4 today, totally love it. Great start for a lovely weekend. A long way to go to Mermaid tho!:)
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Felt great after this session. But no mermaid or pigeon for me. But a goal to work towards. My hips are super jammed and my shoulder blades are sore today so this session was a good burn. TY
Thank you for practicing with me!!
What a lovely practice. Thank you for mentioning the knees pulling towards each other. I have never been instructed to do that before. It made the difference between getting into the pose and not. I really appreciate you.
Yay, so glad this helped!!
Great practice...thank you
You're so welcome!
I absolutely love your videos!!! I decided to take on this challenge and I'm half way through and regretting it!!! I'm a beginner and I'm really struggling with these..... it's actually to the point where I'm feeling incredibly discouraged!!! I don't want to quit I want to complete the challenge but I'm actually starting to dread doing yoga instead of looking forward to it
You never have to do exactly what I am doing in the videos! Modify for your body, make it work for you. You can even do your own thing and keep the video on to do the meditation at the end with me. If you need advice for pose modifications, join my Facebook group and ask in there. I and any of the wonderful members will be happy to help you, here is the link: facebook.com/groups/112605845750434/?ref=pages_groups_card&source_id=190836497729518
BrettLarkinYoga Thank you for replying..... I've joined your group!!! I do really enjoy your videos I'm just really struggling with these ones...... but I will definitely try to adjust to what works for me and listen to my own body!! Thank you!!
💖💖💖
Please don’t give up. You will feel so good about yourself once you accomplish a pose that is challenging. It takes time. I’ve been practicing for years and have been only recently been able to achieve some medium to advanced poses like the crow pose. Never thought I could do it but practising 20 to 30 mins everyday helps give the strength and flexibility you need. The breathing is key and listen closely to Brett, she tells us how to move our muscles, resistance and tension plus breathing. It will happen.
this is a great session thank you so much .
💖
Wow what an amazing practice! I got into Mermaid for the first time - I even didn't expect to come close!!!! I am totally exited. I will repeat this to manage also King Pigeon maybe soon. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Woo hoo!! Congratulations!! Thank you for practicing with me!!
Great warm-up to Mermaid Brett! I maid it to Mermaid...but could only stay a moment. :)
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
These have really been amazing! They are short practices, but so invigorating. Helping me get through the winter blues in Chicago
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Not quite mermaid ... closer than ever before though. My hamstrings like to cramp whenever I try ... makes for a squealing mermaid! Wonderful session today, loved it.
Soo good!
Thank you !!
Loved it again! 🙏💚
Yay, I'm so glad you loved this class! 💖💖💖
Thank you, Brett for such a great challenge! I love learning to practice yoga with you. I am still learning, still finding balance and working on straightening my leg for "shin behind wrists" in pigeon. I'm enjoying yoga each day and looking forward to the strength and flexibility that will come. Great way to start my day!
I made it to what I call half mermaid on the left and sorta half mermaid on the right. Half Mermaid equaling foot in hand and other hand in air. Good practice!
Thank you for this whole detox series! I appreciate it very much. It is refreshing and clarifying.
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Me and King pigeon are not friends yet haha but it was fun to try! Definitely feel the opening in the hips and feeling really energetic!
Dear Brett, this class was great! I'm on my way to the King pigeon pose😊. I love the journey💐👍Thank you very much for this amazing practice! Namaste🙏
One of the best yoga videos I've ever tried! Got in to mermaid on both sides for the first time ever!! Thank you for this lovely practice 🙏❤
Awesome!
Amazing yoga, I really like u and ur vibe thx very much for sharing
Different...great,and sweaty for me!
Great class even though I did not get fully into Mermaid however it was a wonderful practice. I will totally keep working on this and hopefully someday I will be strong enough to complete Mermaid and of course king pigeon. If I ever successfully complete Mermaid I will be very happy. I feel so totally relaxed after this practice. Namaste!
So glad you loved it Ellen!!
Another great practice; thanks, Brett. I loved taking my ankles off the floor in Bridge, and came into a half-Mermaid (I couldn’t have grasped my foot a year ago)! 🙏❤️
💖
Challenging practice, love it ❤️ to repeat and learn!
🙏
Amazing exercise. I feel such a relief, I did mermaid, but king pigeon was too much. Thank you.
awesome!!
Did the mermaid for the first time! Skipped yesterday as my muscles were sore from the first three days haha.
Awesome!!!
Awesome hip stretch!
Loved it! I stayed onlu with pigeon pose but it was amazing, I needed it badly!!!!
The sucking up tip really helped. Thanks! :)
You're so welcome!!
Got to mermaid. Not quite able to square shoulders and hips for king pigeon but will go through 8 day detox program again. The videos are perfect in length. I'd love to do yoga for an hour everyday but not realistic.
A pleasant challenge! Thank You :)
I've loved this challenge so far. I am aspiring to Mermaid pose thanks to you!
day 4, we are in the middle =) i stayed in the pigeon pose but my hips feel so god, ready to start the day. Thank you!!
Loved this one😍
namaste! did mermaid for the first time thank you! much love, keep being amazing
couldn't get into a full mermaid, but i'm almost there!! i really enjoyed this practice :) xx
Awesome. thank you for practicing with me!
I'm not a pigeon pose fan but I had so much fun during this practice and was really surprise to be able to grab my feet for first step of Mermaid pose.
Yikes! Mermaid was harder than I thought! My back knee kept sliding out to the side when I tried to grab my foot... seems there is some work to do. Thanks for this!
This was great after my morning walk today =)
Great practice! I didn't made it to the mermaid pose though! Shall keep trying 😉😉
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
The sequence Phenominal! Thank you!🙏🏼
Very challenging, but I really enjoyed it. Not anywhere near king pigeon, and for some reason my right side is more difficult than my left side, but something to keep practicing on. Will definitely come back to this video. Thank you and Namaste
Yes, the sides can be very different! Thank you or practicing with me!
After 5 months I can still say that I need to work on my king pigeon, but my mermaid is coming along, which makes me so happy to see/ feel progress, and I definitely felt that both sides were equal, so feeling great after this practice! Namaste.
My hips are very thankful for these two days of hip opening lol
Good morning, see you on mall later today❤️
Great class. although I whish I was a bit more wormed up before doing the mermaid and king pigeon. I'm doing your clases in the morning, right after I wake up so I'm a bit stiff and it is more difficult to get into the pose.
I need to work on my splits to get my king pigeon right. I will get it after a thousand practice. 🤡 Thank you so much Brett! ♥️🙏🏻😌
pigeon is my biggest challenge. I don't enjoy the stretch but get super emotional each time i hang out in it! And while i usually am very relaxed about how far i can get into a pose or not, here again, I just got angry for not even being able to 'enjoy' the stretch in pigeon, let alone get any further into holding my foot up! Must have some deep emotion stuck in my hips, I think...
You don't have to do pigeon pose if you don't enjoy it! Do figure four on your back instead! Same benefits, less stress on the joints. This might help you relax into it more, give it a try and let me know how it goes
Thanks I will change to that for a while
You are welcome!
Can I as a favor plz? Can you please make a video for liver problem. It will be a big help its for my Mom.
Thank you so much for this amazing practice! I just wanna know, for how long I should exercise it that I can achieve the last pose, I am in mermaid?! Kisses
It is so individual for every body, so it's hard to say how long it will take. Be patient with yourself and it will come with practice. Thank you so much for practicing with me.
No mermaid or king pigeon. However I managed to open and stretch my hips and it feels awesome. Had a great time.
That was AWESOME. It's 2020 and I bet everyone's hips are tight from the current situation... :)
Wow this was difficult though but felt great.. I couldnt actually put my hands together in the mermaid position but they were close I tried haha next time I'll do it. Thanx aloooooot u r a positive energy
So gald you loved it!
Got into mermaid! Perfect timing for my beach trip! ;)
I was halfway to mermaid...didn’t get the foot into the elbow crease. Something to work towards! 🥰
Awesome, thank you for practicing with me!! See you on the mat soon!
Love it! Hips super open.. didn't get to foot to elbow mermaid, more foot to mid-forearm... will be doing it more often.... goal is King P! - PS also trying to get my strap game on its not an easy juggle...
Thank you for practicing with me!
mermaid only on one side! :)
So much fun :))))
I did it! Well, the king pigeon... It wasn't very beautiful or graceful , but I did it! And I was sweating too... It was a really nice workout 👍
Not quite ready for mermaid, but I like being pushed. Thank you.
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Mermaid, yikes - not today, I guess. Enjoyed the class a lot, some real challenges in here. My hips feel good! Thank you!
Way to honor your body!!
The comment below is from Paula Camastro
loved this class, but to really stretch those deep areas, I need to truly build heat in my body. I think I'll do several sun salutations or something and try again😊
what shall I do if I have knee issues and after practicing this pose it hurts a lot in the knee ?
That felt exquisite......doing major inner child healing and clearing this week..
Namaste

Loved this practice today! My hips are always so tight. I'm a mud runner. Training for a Spartan Trifecta so I will be training all year. Needed this. Where did you get your white crop top??? Must have
haha. I have short T-rex arms, so it took me quite the stretch to get my toes to touch into the crevice of my elbow; I did it though. Great practice, thank you. Hopefully, in time, I can do the full mermaid. I'm getting there, but of course, that will take time. :) By the way, my head doesn't want to lift whenever I attempt the full wheel. Do you know why that is? Do I need to strengthen my upper body? Everything else wants to lift. lol.
Yes, upper body strength will help. Having openess in the upper body and front of the body plays a big part too. Thank you for practicing with me!
Appropriately named challenge, worked up a sweat just getting into aone positions!!! Great practise, thanks from a v hot mallorca 35 degrees!
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
Loved it but needed a few more quad stretches for my thighs :)
This was really fun but I can't move my body like you can, I basically meditated the whole video, but at least I tried lol
Lovely practice Brett thank you. My lower back is too cranky for King pigeon today though 😔
yah it's hard on the low back :/ for me too
Found I had knee issues, but I made myself into a🧜🏼♀️ , 💗
💖💖💖
I want to do the wheel pose but it's hard lifing my upper body off the ground
H Snyder i cant do it either. i just keep at yoga and trust the process that one day i will. keep at it!
I've been practice for years and I cannot raise either of my back legs when in pigeon to get to mermaid - my hamstrings will not let my foot even leave the ground😔 any suggestions? I can touch my nose to my knees without a problem and can bring my head to the ground in wide leg forward fold - thanks for your lessons ✨
Jim C try a strap? that's what i do for now, until i can reach myself
