Thank you! I am 37 but have Rheumatoid Arthritis and this was so helpful for me. Definitely sounded like I poured milk on rice krispies😂 but I felt so good after doing it and it was super easy on my joints!
Hello! I'm a 1, just discovered you! I'm in North Central West Virginia. I'm 64, and today I am 3 weeks post-op total left knee replacement! I'm about 40-50 pounds overweight and I want my body to be strong and relaxed. I'll be catching up with your videos as time (and rehab exercises) permits! Thank you! Blessed Be.
I have been on a 3 yrs healing journey from cancer and pancreatitis. I was bed ridden for two months. I was not able to keep food or liquid's down. It was a long 3 years. I lost muscle and strength. then COVID isolated me from going to Qigong classes and sat around watching TV. all though I only gained 15 lbs, it has been a challenge to loose wait. Today I came across your video. I patisapated. also did 15 min. couch yoga. Wow, I am really out of shape, fate, and weak. I saved this video so I will work out daily. thank you. 65 yrs old, been on my health journey and you will be a part of it. I want my youthful self back that was taken from illness. I will achieve !
1. first time here. i am a certified yoga teacher but i am not motivated to practice today and i dont teach yoga , just did the classes and certification and mostly taught preschoolers . now i am back to teaching teens and today i teach online since i am living in israel and we are at war so some classes are online because it is too dangerous to have all the pupils at school. I have been strugglig to get pupils to channel their energies to a short 5 minute exercise. i loved this one. i dont feel my age honestly but i am over 50 and am experiencing motivation issues these days because of the war..i have been posting online a lot to explain israel to people who think they understand and that takes a lot of energy from me because i feel i am fighting a lost battle which might not be as important as fighting to keep fit . i gained some weight after initially not having eaten at the beginning of the war..anyway i loved the short exercise . in yoga i feel i am pushed to do too much when some days like today rain storm and first grey day in a while and am not used to not having the sun so thank you so much . i might use the shoulder exercises on the pupils too. teens are similar to elderly people in the lack of motivation for exercise that is not competitive
Good Morning :) First time watching your show. I'm 55 with a disability I let take control. I'm loving your show and am looking forward to taking my body back
1 North Carolina This was my first time but will not be my last!!!! The amount of time was perfect, I felt like I had used muscles but not killed myself. I am currently 408 lbs down 10 lbs in 3 days just from drinking water. I will see you on the next video. Thank you!!!
@@tracypackard3681 oh that close? Wow. It’s a small world, isn’t it! My oldest daughter was born in Lorient, can you believe it? Talk about coincidences. I’ll be in Saint Pol in October visiting my youngest daughter and her family. Argentina is a beautiful country; too bad we have such a horrible president and all who are with him. Stay well and enjoy the rest of the day!🌷
1 Waynes wife Sandy, Minnesota. Used to work in adult day care and nursing home recreation. We did chair exercises with older seniors. I am 58 and have had a long bout of in activity. Thank you for your You tube video.😀
1 Sweden I’m a woman with problems with my body AND with depression. I don’t know what comes from what, but I feel they are strongly connecting. Thank you!!! Love the energy you protrude.
1 - 81 (F) and 57 (F) first timers. Loved it. Felt the energy boast and increased flex. Starting a health and fitness plan as a mom and daughter. Here we go!
1 hi I am from the Hunter valley NSW and I have thoroughly enjoyed this exercise today. I am 73 and need exercise as I have very sedentary hobbies sewing, knitting and reading and need exercise. This way I can do it in the comfort of my home . Thank you xx
1 Southern Wisconsin... I was feeling sleepy midday, and instead of taking a nap on the couch, I found your video. It has energized me a bit and helped my tight shoulders. Thanks 😊
First time. I am 52 years old and extremely obese, with severe arthritis in knee and spine. I am changing my.eating habits in order to lose weight (I need to lose about 175lbs.), but I need to do more than that. I need to move. I still work, but in an office where I am sitting all day. I've seen ads on social media for sofa yoga, so I went on to you tube. I found your site and was very impressed with what i saw. Going to stick with you and hopefully loosen up and lose weight so I feel better! Thank so much. I am in Newport News, VA.
1, I am going to have Back surgery in July maybe August, I been eating healthy, losing weight, 50+ lbs still going. Have Polyarthritis, it never stop me. Started doing sit ups to get a strong core and leg lifts to build up so, when I am able to walk...I can walk and stand. I will be 67 in September when I am recovering, starting my PT early! Needed arms exercise, Thank you so much for these, they are perfect to start with! I am from Phoenix, Arizona
#1 - from Victoria, BC, Canada. I’m on the wait list for hip replacement surgery and can do very little exercise. Your video was perfect for me. Thanks so much.
1. Im not over 50 but one of my aunts suggested looking into it. Im 29 with mild arthritis and chronic pain and a messed up knee. I cant do most exercise videos I've tried but i made it through yours. A big thanks from me to you.
First timer. These are exercises that I can actually do. I feel good afterward, energized, and rather proud of myself for following through. Thank you. I'm from PA. Here is my story (I'll try to keep it short). I'm now 71 years young (still in childhood mode). My husband is in very poor health so I do a lot for him - he is my beloved Marine and has always been there for me when I needed him to me. This past year I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer that attacked my spine. Tried some of the meds and as per usually - could not take them. Meds and me have never liked each other much - I'm usually the 1 % that has the really bad effects. Soooo, I am battling my issues with diet, some exercise (winter is an issue, lol). But you have given me the ability to keep working to allow my body to heal itself. Thank you so much. I feel energized. Okay, sorry. I do have a problem keeping my writing short. Wonder if I was an author in a past life. LOL
Hi Becca, thanks for sharing your story with me! I wish you all the best in 2023! I hope you see your health improve and that you experience a wonderful year ahead 🙏😊
I’m 56 and have always been active until I got my knees replaced this last year. It’s been really difficult and because of my different gate, my back is really unhappy now. I’ve still been trying to walk a mile a day but its slow going. I need something where I’m off my legs and just found your videos. Thanks for producing them. ITs amazing how fast we can deteriorate when we have a major surgery or some other ailment that comes into our lives. Perhaps your videos will change that. Thanks.
Hi Meg. I'm watching from my. My nutritionist told me about you. What a blessing. Love the leg exercises. My l-4, l-5 are hydrated so I swim one mile three days a week and then come home and do exercises with you!
1 - Brockport NY. Have lead a very sedentary life for past 10 years. Have had 4 spine surgeries that resulted from my back being broken 32 years ago. Have been diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis 5 years ago. Hate always hurting and do not take drugs for the pain as they cause other unpleasant issues. Glad I found your videos. I am hoping I will be motivated enough to get to a better degree of heath with much less pain and comfort. I recently turned 59. Thank you for your dedication to people like me and the older generation. Happy New Year 2023.
1, Northeast Texas. I’m 71 with chronic arthritis since in my 30’s. I use to could be active to maintain my mobility. Danced C&W, even taught lessons, gardened, rode horses but got bucked off when I was 55 and ended up in the ER. Curtailed my activity, the arthritis became more painful. Gained weight. After a few years could be more active. 2009-2015, I took care of my Mom with home health. Not as active as she couldn’t be out in the heat and needed me with her. Texas has short winters. In Spring 2020, I had 2 heart attacks in 1 day, had 2 arteries with 100% blockage so 2 stents put in. Also gall bladder surgery in Autumn 2020. Mobility decreased significantly, went to water therapy. In 2021, had Covid in January and June, developed depression and stopped therapy. I felt like I accomplished something after I finished your short video of Sofa Yoga. I’m inspired to continue the videos. Thank you.
You have been through so much. I'm sorry to hear this, but thanks for sharing 🙏🙏 I hope 2023 is a healthy year for you! Thanks for exercising with me!! 🙏 Keep up the good work in 2023! 🙏😊
I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis . I enjoy doing many of your weight bearing videos, seated videos and overall good health videos. Thank you for making them enjoyable and doable. You are a great instructor. I live in NC.
Thank you for your simple exercises, working my arms and shoulders. I had a shoulder injury and was unable to do much. But thanks to your video, I was surprised tat I have more motion in my shoulders. By the way, I live here in Hawaii.
Meg, I just found your channel and you a wonderful instructor! I do have a dog named Willow. We rescued her 7 years ago. She was on the “e” list and was very sick. The rescue we got her from fosters their dogs until they are well enough to be adopted. Willow was considered adoptable because of her health issues. She was about six at the time. She also has epilepsy. She is my first dog ever and I can’t believe how much we love her. She has been on continuous medications and, now that she’s 12, we’ve also added CBD Oil to her food. By the way, she hasn’t had a seizure since Dec. 2020. She was fabulous company during the pandemic! Judy from Arizona 😊🐾🌵
Never thought I’d see the day I would search out over 50 exercises but I’m glad I found yours, I’m from Vancouver Canada and first exercise in a long time, and it was tiring but in a good way, seemed to easy until I done them, and I’d like to check out your other videos and keep up the few minutes at a time exercise. I can feel the muscle use and I do feel a bit more alert
Fantastic video thank you! I am a first time watcher and am subbing now! I have a crochet business and will be sharing this with my fellow crocheters such a great releif and wow lots of noise coming from these joints LOL.HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'm 62 years old quite active I use my stationary bike 30 minutes a day. What I like about these videos is that they are short and really works the upper body , encourage better posture, and engage my core muscles.
1 I am 45 years from Malaysia. I am doing this for the first time . But I have been doing yoga most of the time. Thank you for the exercise. Hope I can reduce my weight.
Number 1 , I am 52 and I have struggled with my weight all my life, up and down etc.. I had a car wreck nearly 6 years ago that resulted in some amputations on my dominant hand (we were quite blessed actually) and other injuries but it definitely threw me for a loop movement wise, hence I gained alot of weight. So I def need a different starting place than I would have needed a decade ago. I was actually able to do the video! I have subscribed! Thank you!
#1 NJ. I'm disabled and I need to lose more weight in my Stomach area I just did your exercises but having arthritis and nurapothy through my whole body it I definitely felt it and my hands are tingling now. Any other videos you can refer. Ty 😊
Thanks for watching and for following along! I have a full playlist of seated exercise videos that you can do. Check them out here: ua-cam.com/play/PLCY8Yq4LJ5fH3YdG_v5CRE2fI6A4QzoFu.html&si=r0X7TfIWoxDHcTw1 Wishing you all the best!!😊😊🙏🙏
Hi I am new to trying the sofa yoga. I am almost 62 years old and have diabetes and I am overweight. I have found your videos helpful as it's hard for me to get onto the floor without pain. I dont have the flexibility yet to be able to all do the exercises exactly as you show but I just do what I can for now until I can get my insulin resistance stomach to a more comfortable size but I am determined to get there
Perfect stretch for the end of the day. Thank you so much. I will be on the lookout for more of your sessions. Thanks again from Charlie in Syracuse NY
I'd really like to have a bottle of whatever it is where you get your energy from. Seriously, the positive energy helps motivate me to get on with the task. For comedic value, I should upload a 'fail video' of trying some of this with a rotating office chair on wheels. Stay well everyone!
1 Australia 🇦🇺. Just retired after 52 yrs. I’m up to a 3km walk, and decided to try this as well. My intention is to build flexibility and strength for my new life. Thankyou
1 Nice workout. I'm in Colorado. I'm disabled with back muscle issues and I'll let you know how my back handles this workout tomorrow. If I don't have a negative affect, I'll put it into my daily routine. Thank you, you have a pleasant style and voice. Callyendys
I have had such changes in the past year on my phisique so at 60 your couch ecxersise has really helped me. I want to keep doing these. From my condo in Chicopee, Ma. )
I’m in San Francisco Bay Area and I recently fell breaking my right so I was looking for a sit and be fit exercise program. I enjoyed your warm up exercise with it’s stretching that helped my back
I, too, am a first comer to the workout, and I actually will do two different sessions every day. I appreciate the length of each session, and thanks for lifting my energy up. I'm 310 and have been told my kidneys need to be restored, I have always been pretty active until some stiffness and knee pain slow me down. I just want the opportunity to help myself, and these sessions are appreciated. Again, thank you it 💪🏾
1 Alabama I was bed ridden a few years ago and decided to have gastric bypass I lost 200 pounds my insides are wonderful but my body is a mess I had back surgery that went very wrong so I will be in a 7 to 8 pain levels at all times so I'll decided to try this I was extremely surprised the next morning although I was still in terrible pain I wasn't near at stiff and felt overall better this is the first time I've ever written like this but thought I'd let you know what a blessing you are and to say thank you 😊
Hi, I am from South Africa... I am 59 yrs of age and not physically active..after trying your short videos I have so much energy and i am working on getting my core muscles working again....thanx a million
1st time for me, following from Belgium. I'm 50 and overweight. Have been quite fit for years doing a lot of sport (among others martial arts). But sedentary life, life issues leading to compensating with food have led me to a big weight problem. I really need to do something about it because I start getting pains and aches in my whole body. These videos are a really good start for me as I do not always have time to go anywhere when coming back from work.
First time. I'm 65 from Ajax, Ontario. I am pretty stiff and it is painful for me to do the one with the arms outstretched. Too much sitting on my cell phone,! So I'm looking forward to loosening up and less pain. I find these exercises great because they are short and an easy start
Hi, this is my first time here but I've been looking for this for awhile. I soon to be 80 with Afib and other medical problems, but will see the cardiologist tomorrow and will be back then with his approval. I look forward to it. :)
I've been doing this video and the seated leg exercises and I have noticed it's a bit easier going up and down the stairs. When I'm ready I will be adding the core exercises next. Thank you so much for these videos.
1 Little Elm, Texas. Oh, my goodness! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I keep getting ads for a couch yoga app that is $8.99/mo and with eggs reaching $8.00 for 18, money is tight in Maison de Fitzpatrick.

I love these exercises! I have RA and since the pandemic I've gotten very weak. These are helping me gain strength and flexibility.
Glad you like them!
1, watching from Ontario, Canada. Enjoyed working these exercise.
Wonderful!
Meg, I just found your channel and you a wonderful instructor! I do have a dog named Willow. We rescued her 7 years ago. She was on the “e” list and was very sick. The rescue we got her from fosters their dogs until they are well enough to be adopted. Willow was considered adoptable because of her health issues. She was about six at the time. She also has epilepsy. She is my first dog ever and I can’t believe how much we love her. She has been on continuous medications and, now that she’s 12, we’ve also added CBD Oil to her food. By the way, she hasn’t had a seizure since Dec. 2020. She was fabulous company during the pandemic! Judy from Arizona 😊🐾🌵
Thanks for sharing! So glad to have you here! Thanks for joining in! 🥰
Never thought I’d see the day I would search out over 50 exercises but I’m glad I found yours, I’m from Vancouver Canada and first exercise in a long time, and it was tiring but in a good way, seemed to easy until I done them, and I’d like to check out your other videos and keep up the few minutes at a time exercise. I can feel the muscle use and I do feel a bit more alert
Welcome aboard! 🙏 glad to hear this! Keep on going!

Number one from the UK
I'm 62 years old quite active I use my stationary bike 30 minutes a day. What I like about these videos is that they are short and really works the upper body , encourage better posture, and engage my core muscles.

I am 45 years from Malaysia. I am doing this for the first time . But I have been doing yoga most of the time. Thank you for the exercise. Hope I can reduce my weight.
Thanks for watching!!! Much appreciated 🙏
Number 1 , I am 52 and I have struggled with my weight all my life, up and down etc.. I had a car wreck nearly 6 years ago that resulted in some amputations on my dominant hand (we were quite blessed actually) and other injuries but it definitely threw me for a loop movement wise, hence I gained alot of weight. So I def need a different starting place than I would have needed a decade ago. I was actually able to do the video! I have subscribed! Thank you!
First timer feeling great. Will definitely try it again. Thanks
Wonderful! Thanks for exercising with me 🙏☺️
#1 NJ. I'm disabled and I need to lose more weight in my Stomach area I just did your exercises but having arthritis and nurapothy through my whole body it I definitely felt it and my hands are tingling now. Any other videos you can refer. Ty 😊

Just started first time excited to continue
Hi I am new to trying the sofa yoga. I am almost 62 years old and have diabetes and I am overweight. I have found your videos helpful as it's hard for me to get onto the floor without pain. I dont have the flexibility yet to be able to all do the exercises exactly as you show but I just do what I can for now until I can get my insulin resistance stomach to a more comfortable size but I am determined to get there
Thanks for exercising with me 🙏☺️ yes, please always do what you can. Great job!! 👍🏼
Thank you for these, I injured my shoulder and needed these to help keep it loose.
Thanks for watching 🙏😊
Been on this about a month and I really like it. I'm watching from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Perfect stretch for the end of the day. Thank you so much. I will be on the lookout for more of your sessions. Thanks again from Charlie in Syracuse NY
1 Redmond WA feel great. Headed to California on road trip. I'm not driving. These excersizes will help so much
1st time. From Tennessee. Thank you
Welcome! Hope you enjoyed it!
I'd really like to have a bottle of whatever it is where you get your energy from. Seriously, the positive energy helps motivate me to get on with the task. For comedic value, I should upload a 'fail video' of trying some of this with a rotating office chair on wheels. Stay well everyone!
Great to have you here! Thanks for joining in! 🥰
Thank you enjoyed doing these exercises🙏
1 Australia 🇦🇺. Just retired after 52 yrs. I’m up to a 3km walk, and decided to try this as well. My intention is to build flexibility and strength for my new life. Thankyou
1 Nice workout. I'm in Colorado. I'm disabled with back muscle issues and I'll let you know how my back handles this workout tomorrow. If I don't have a negative affect, I'll put it into my daily routine. Thank you, you have a pleasant style and voice. Callyendys

I have had such changes in the past year on my phisique so at 60 your couch ecxersise has really helped me. I want to keep doing these. From my condo in Chicopee, Ma. )
Thanks for watching ☺️
I’m in San Francisco Bay Area and I recently fell breaking my right so I was looking for a sit and be fit exercise program. I enjoyed your warm up exercise with it’s stretching that helped my back
I, too, am a first comer to the workout, and I actually will do two different sessions every day. I appreciate the length of each session, and thanks for lifting my energy up. I'm 310 and have been told my kidneys need to be restored, I have always been pretty active until some stiffness and knee pain slow me down. I just want the opportunity to help myself, and these sessions are appreciated. Again, thank you it 💪🏾
You're so welcome! Keep up the great work!! 👍🏼

1st time for me, following from Belgium.
I'm 50 and overweight. Have been quite fit for years doing a lot of sport (among others martial arts). But sedentary life, life issues leading to compensating with food have led me to a big weight problem. I really need to do something about it because I start getting pains and aches in my whole body.
These videos are a really good start for me as I do not always have time to go anywhere when coming back from work.
Thanks for watching! Wishing you all the best 🙏😊
Your exercises are really helpfull.Thank you.
I'm from Israel.
Thanks for watching!!! Much appreciated 🙏
First time. I'm 65 from Ajax, Ontario. I am pretty stiff and it is painful for me to do the one with the arms outstretched. Too much sitting on my cell phone,! So I'm looking forward to loosening up and less pain. I find these exercises great because they are short and an easy start
Great job! Enjoy! Thanks for exercising with me! 🙏 ☺️
Hi, this is my first time here but I've been looking for this for awhile. I soon to be 80 with Afib and other medical problems, but will see the cardiologist tomorrow and will be back then with his approval. I look forward to it. :)
Great to have you here! Thanks for joining in! 🥰
I've been doing this video and the seated leg exercises and I have noticed it's a bit easier going up and down the stairs. When I'm ready I will be adding the core exercises next. Thank you so much for these videos.
Thanks for sharing!
