Stretch and talk should be a series. ^^ I for some reason found the convo when stretching to be a lot more easy to engage in than other workouts.
theFitty hmm good idea
would you do a meditation video, cassey?
Agreed .. should be a series
muoian do you personally do yoga or meditate??
Yes I agree too!
I actually cried while doing this video. I'm going through a really tough time right now, but these are words I needed to hear. Thank you Cassey!
i know this comment is 5 years old but i hope you're at a better place now, emotionally physically and spiritually❤🙌🏼
"remember that no one is perfect but they can be as good as they can be in your life"
I needed to hear that 💕
I fell over at leas four times during this but I've accepted it and I'll do better next time

I’ve honestly always had bad mental health, and was always as well a big skeptic of this type of positive thinking, but lately I’ve been trying to stretch everyday and been following your videos. I’m actually grateful of your mindset as it’s actually changed mine. Thank you Cassie
Cassey, I was wondering if you could cover your post workout hair and skincare routine -- I sweat so much during your workouts and always wonder what is the best way to take care of my hair and skin -- especially because yours always looks SO good during the workout! I would love any tips you have
It's a different struggle, specially in summers.
Thank you so much for this video
Honestly,my body is feeling a lot better rn after those stretches and talks!! I feel refreshed!
When I was able to touch my toes I thought i could rule the world
Nadya Ahmed omg I love this
That's what I first thought until I watched some hardcore gymnastics lmao
Same😂👌🏼

Love this one!!!
I didn't realize how much I needed this, physically and mentally
Edit: Omg i just found an old comment of mine from a year and a half ago that basically said the same thing lol
😆
3 yrs and this video is still easily my favourite and go to. It is just so perfect Cassey ,Thankyou so much for this absolute gem!
Great video ! I slept in an awkward position last night, I woke up sore and tense. Thank you!

Congratulations on your engagement!!!! 💞💖💞💗💖💞💖💞 I've been following you since 2011 and have been so proud of how far you've come!!! You're like a big sister to me!!! :'))))))
Thank you for this. Today I was just feel super depressed and something sad happened, so this made me feel a bit better and stronger. Please do more of these!
Thank you cassy! This is vey nice...I LOVE IT!! Help me a lot, and this is perfect before I getting in to bed. I'm gonna do this every day before i sleep
This feels like heaven, my favourite day of the week
beginner's calendar, day 9, part 1/3: check!
I'm on day 9 now!!
Her new beginners calendar: day 13, 2/2, check! :)
This was honestly unreal. It honestly changed my mood completely and I’m so grateful for finding this gem. It was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you Cassie ❤️❤️
I feel like I manifested this video😂😆 It was EXACTLY what I needed today.
Don't do this wearing socks! I repeat don't do this with socks!!!
Lisa Simpson 🤣🤣wuuweee shame
I had to take my socks off after a few minutes too 😂 wish I saw your comment sooner!
I am surprised at how You remain unbroken & unshaken, no matter what people throw at you. Know that We are with you, & will be there for you always. You are my only inspiration when I go through really tough times. I just wanna say I am super grateful to you, & I owe you a lot. ❤❤❤
Beautiful. Unfortunately I was sick from Christmas Eve, through Christmas and the day after with the common cold. I'm just starting to feel a bit better so I decided to try this out for today and tomorrow I'll get back into my normal routine. This felt so nice. Thank you😊💕
Thank you for the pep talk today and the positive message's. We all really needed that!!
It doesn’t matter when I watch this video..it always speaks to me..thank you Cassie..
What I do when I'm stressed, angry or depressed:
1) I try to analyse the situation as to what is actually happening at that moment and try to understand my emotions.
2) If I'm really REALLY sad, then I just let it all out. I cry until my cheeks hurt, but then I promise to myself to NEVER ever get sad on that topic again and not to shed tears anymore.
3) I like to figure out by myself and try to find my solutions. But if I fail, I straight go to my parents and tell them what's bothering me. I feel like they gives you the finest and blunt truth and even solve your problems.
4) I listen to music and try to soothe myself down.
And....I LOVE YOU CASSEY! You are really a inspiration for me and I generally try your stretching exercises to calm myself down. Please keep uploading more and MORE! LOVE YOU!

I literally can't wait for streach days lol❤️ I feel so relieved after!
Update: I have litterally done this stretching video 5x a week since you have posted it. LOVE IT. Please never take this down and make more stretching videos! Perfect timing for this video. I've really been wanting to work on my flexibility. And I've also been dealing with some mental health issues. This video was super helpful in both areas! Thank you so much. I'm going to add this into my daily routine!
Omg Cassey your positivity is just like OMG girl I loved you mood and btw I love your sport bras and your nails look good :)
Thank you!!
Just what I needed today! Thank you for your positivity and fantastic stretches.
I love you Cassey so much love the outfit ❤️
true trini love you too!
I'm a guy, and I've been following your videos off and on for about 9 years now-but I've never CRIED during one. I'm not embarrassed to say that I've been struggling in my personal life a lot and your words really helped to make me feel like I'm not completely lost. I'm going to do my best to keep working out with you to get back my healthy body and health mind. THANK YOU SO MUCH Cassie for staying strong for those of us who struggle with it, and for sharing your positivity, you're truly inspirational. ❤
This video was honestly so calming and refreshing!!
(Not to ruin the mood but I legit lost it when she said happy baby to happy adult😭😂)
Still, thank you so much Cassey for being such an inspiration ❤️
This video was 1000 times better than the last one from 13th of August .. you know why? It wasn't an ad. I could just enjoy my stretch and talk. Loved it.
Hey Casey plz tell me how you tackle that laziness out
My girlfriend recommended your blog to me cause I was trying to start working out again and this was the first video I watched and this was exactly what I needed to hear. I got out of a 5-year relationship earlier this year and am currently in another country for work but I completely agree you are the only person that has control over your own happiness. I was so unhappy in my relationship and my life at that moment, I tried communicating to my partner the reasons why I was unhappy, that I wanted us to do more than just watch Netflix at home (among other reasons) but he was not listening to me. So I ended it and have been slowly rediscovering myself again and finding activities that bring me joy. I tell myself similar things to stay positive but hearing them in this video oddly reaffirmed to me that I am making the right moves and decisions even if it scares me or I doubt myself. I am not perfect but am on the long road to becoming the best version of me I can be. So thank you.
Since school started I've been really needing this! Been so stressed out and negative lately and this video helped a lot! Thanks Cassey ♥️
Ka Blia same here
Ka Blia so glad this helped!!!
Thanks, Cassie,
I can watch this video over and over.
This video helps me a lot emotionally, mentally, and physically
OMG I just finished my run and I needed this!!! XO XO
The combination of the stretches, the motivational talks and the super relaxing music with the cricket sounds make this into a lovely experience
Haha yes but at first I thought there was really a cricket in my apartment and got super scared!! Lol! But once I realized it was the video it was relaxing XD
@@CeruleanBlue89 hahaahah nothing relaxing about that😂
that happy baby really made me happy i was straight up giggling forever a favourite
This is AWESOME! Creating a positive mindset while doing stretches is a 2 in 1 deal. I'm excited to be able to share this with all of my friends next week so we may continue to hold onto a positive mindset as well as a healthy stretch in our life.

So relaxed❤❤❤
The positive vibes during this stretch are the best!
April 30th ✅🌸 and we're done with April! 🥳
I have been holding onto a lot of negative emotions towards my husband the past few days and this really helped me to release all the negativity and I feel motivated to talk to him today and forgive him for my own well being.
I'm finally loosing weight. I have lost 5bls and kept it. Because I do my own workouts. I do basic stuff. I feel like I found my own peace. It just feels so good inside. Ty for making yoga videos. I love u and love ur flow. Bye bye. Ty. Oh yeah I stopped drinking soda.
This is so therapeutic -- just centering your outlook and thought for the day no matter what has happened.
Happy baby to happy adult
Cassey legs are straight
Me: how about happy teenager
Ie ill straighten my legs as much as I can but my flexibility is so low that my knees as still bent
Didn't feel like 10 minutes at all, loved it!
I cant believe this series is ending😭😭😭😭
I love this stretch and the whole video about positive stuff.
Me on a normal day: Let's try this out how bad could it be?
Me on my period: Emmm should I try it? (Touches the floor with hands feels the regret) never mind I'm gonna watch her do it
I loved this, and normally I'm very bad at stretching and give up quickly. I'm so thankful that I was able to do these stretches and be reminded about the steadiness of life among the chaos. Thank you so much Cassey for being so dedicated to your following and making sure you share your wisdom with everyone around you. One day I hope I can develop your confidence.
Hi Cassey! This video helped me this morning physically and mentally. Keep up your awesome work and have a nice day👍👊😁❤!
I love your exercise as well as your advice. Thank you Cassey ..stay blessed
I loved the video and the combination with the positive affirmations was great!
I love this. I really needed to hear that today❤️. Thank u Cassey
Luv u Cassy!! Keep up the good work!! 6th

"instead of wishing for it im just gonna do it!" obsessed that is the energy that is getting me through
Hello Cassey, I'm determined to get back into putting more effort on my body this 2019 and I just found myself a stretching routine I'd be doing for the first quarter of the year. Thank you for this video!
Good job everyone who followed the April Calendar
I'm really struggling with the 3rd exercise because I can't put my foot on my thigh. Actually I can but it just hurts so much. What am I doing wrong?
good job for doing this stretch video anyway! sorry, i wish i knew...
ooh yeah no worries just do that part alone for 15 second intervals everyday for 5min, then increase ... u shud start too feel it get easier
I’ve been a Popster for years and I’ve never seen this video until now, but I can honestly say it couldn’t have come at a better time. My anxiety and depression have been at its highest lately and in the middle of the video I nearly broke down and cried...thank you Cassey. I feel so much more relaxed and ultimately so powerful after this. ❤️
Omg! I love stretching soo much! Thank you for this video, Cassey, and I love you 💕
Teodora Lu glad U enjoyed this!
Really needed this one today. Maybe post a couple more positive thinking/stretch videos during this month’s quarantine. I think it could really help a lot of people ❤️
June 18, 2023☁️🌷🌷🌷
Perfect I needed the positive messages thank you
Wow that was so relaxing and amazing. You ever thought of doing more of these but with different and more positions depending on how flexible you are?
Thank you Cassey for making me feel better ❤
Do more stretches video!!! How I like to feel better is exercising and watch favorite UA-cam videos that make me laugh. I am a very negative person but trying to be more positive so thanks Cassey for this video I will try these tips out and please do more similar type videos. Thanks and Love you
notoufu yea I was thinking of maybe even doing an entire stretching program!
blogilates yes!!!!!!!!! Please do that
Videos like this one are so calming ! Thank you Cassey
me throughout the whole video : how am i even doing this???? 😱😱😱
Cassie, please do more of these! I was feeling really down and this video did wonders for me. I feel so good, refreshed and ready to get back at what I was doing. University exams are killing me rn, i had zero motivation and last minute cramming is not the best for one's mental health, but this really helped me. Thank you!
I'm quite fat but I have a flexible body so it's nice to relax myself before sleeping thanks cassy
Cassey, Thank you so much for your supporting words. It really helped me a lot.
Hey Cassey can u make a video about how to do the middle splits?
Thanks for being! Thanks for your words! God bless you

I'm about to go on a fitness journey and I'm so excited! I made a workout plan and your videos are a huge part of that so thank you so much! Today is my first day! I also made a meal plan, bought a ton of healthy food, and then froze healthy dishes to make things easier. Here it goes!
January 5th - STRETCH 'N STRENGTHEN 2018
I use to "laugh" at those kind of videos before thinking who the hell is listening to these kind of cheesy motivational videos. The things you are talking about in this video are kinda obvious but then i realized that in time of sadness, especially ones that you cannot really control ( mental health related ), you need someone to tell you these things you kind of already know can make a big change in your life with simple words and especially with kindness and that's exactly how you did it Cassey. You never sound patronizing to me but always soft and kind and this video eased my soul and body tonight. Thank you that's all I really needed right now :)
Today I had a test.I had to run 1km in 4 minutes and I did it in 5:11.I could do it in 4 minutes, but my friends couldn't.Everytime they stopped,I did too.At a time I told them that I have to go faster and they agreed.So I'm not happy with myself.(another reason is I go track and field lessons,soooo...my progress wasn't good for me).
I'm sorry for waisting your time and sorry for my bad english.
Have a great day!
This has been the most tension releasing stretch I have ever done. What helped the most was you talking about how to think positively. I've tried other relax sessions but this has been the best one.

This needs to be a series! This video made me feel so much better physically and mentally
Love this try it later 👀❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💋💋💋
all of these stretches look so helpful!
Such on time agaiinnn!! You are awesome:):)
I just came back after not working out for a year and I'm glad I had time to follow your videos again and honestly this video was such a great come back and you haven't changed a bit Cassey. I love you, I miss you, and I'm pumped to be back.
Cassey I love your videos!! It always motivates me to move my butt and just do my thing. :)
I was doing this video on the screen at my gym and there was another lady on a bike just listening to the video to pass the time. She said this was her and what she needed to hear. Stretching for me and positivity for her... win-win!
