I've never considered myself flexible or thought that I could practice yoga but thanks to your clear instructions and soothing voice I know I can. I can finally feel it.
With two bent toes and feet to move and hands to do the yoga, that exercise was an astounding idea and open heart after word about the pandemic andbarefoot on the mat worked for you while doing Day 19. We want more as you sit on the table in front of the couch. Tell us how your Kino Yoga changed for ever, Kino McGregor.
One thing I would encourage everyone to do is pause the video and try again if kino breezes through a posture that you need more time to get into - that's one of the gifts of private practice. Took me ages to manage the half bow pose because I have short limbs and they have to rreeaally reach for each other, doing that plus balancing. a trip. But pausing and giving time and patience to getting it, or at least really trying it, before moving on, feels so much better and helps you make that journey with conviction.
I love these videos! Perfect length, it's hard to find excuses to not give my self 15 min a day. My only problem is when we do scapular protractions/retractions and up and down exercises. The speed of the breathing is way too fast for me. But I can handle that. Just pausing the video and doing my own speed and then continue the practice with you. Thank you for sharing this with us and putting all that effort into making these videos!!
+Anne “Shamisen kunoichi” Liljedahl That's for the feedback. As you get stronger maybe you'll feel more comfortable with the pace. And if not you can always follow your own breath.
Whew! My thighs just died😂 Thanks so much Kino for always reminding to draw the belly in. While conscious on my breathing and following your flow, I thought I was doing everything correctly until you remind to draw the belly in, that's when I'll be conscious on my belly again and try to hold it all through out the practice.
Kinoji I tried imitating your yoga mat... I drew a mid line and a reference line for Surya Namaskar and a lines which would help me do the handstand... and an Aum at the top of the mat. When I did Ashtanga Namaskar, I became an enlightened soul.. the pen ink with which I drew the line were still wet, and the Aum was on my force head. lol. 😂😀
Really great backbending video. And how beautiful is that evening light??? 😊🙏 I've never really been able to identify with increased emotionality with backbends or hip openers, although I've heard it many times. I feel the same, I think. Maybe I'm not connected enough to my emotions? I always wonder. Is there some science behind it? Could I do something to go deeper emotionally? But again, really beautiful video, in several aspects! Really appreciating your effort and the love you pour into your work, Kino ☀️ Love x
Thank you for all your videos and advice. I have quite bony hips and when doing dhanurasana there's a lot of pressure on the hip bones and it's a bit painful. Is there an issue with my posture/positioning or should I just add extra cushioning on the mat when doing such poses?
I loved day 20 got all sweaty💪💓 I am having the hardest time doing seated walk through? idk maybe I have to big a booty? or my arms a short? I'm only 4'10" so maybe as I keep losing weight it will be easier? any suggestions?
is it common to get a head ache after bow pose? right after the second bow I got a major headache I had some relief with the twisting afterward. I feel fine now but I'm just curious:)
Hi Kino! I like your challenge series for beginners. Thank you!

+Byuuuu Thank you, so happy to hear that you're inspired to practice.
This felt so good!! ❣️ Thank you, Kino! 🙏🧘💗

That was the most wonderful pose I have ever done!! Feels like I stretched every single joint in my body. Thank you!!
Kino, You inspire me as a student first.. and as an instructor. Grateful for you and Miami Life Center.
Namaste
Thanks for practicing

Thank you! I love any heart opening poses, makes me feel free and invigorated.
Awesome :)
So grateful for your guidance. Thank you.
Bow pose is such a challenge for me. Adding to my morning practice! Thanks! Namaste
+Queen Elisheba Yes, it is challenging, but keep practicing!
Thank you Kino ❤️🙏🧘🏼♀️

+Louise Vad You don't need to invite it in, when/if it happens you'll know. Meanwhile focus on the inner experience.
+KinoYoga thanks for the feedback Kino🌸 this is great advice 🙏🏼 namaste and thank you again🌸

Kino why is it that while trying jump back and through its easier on the finger tips than palms
Is it more important to keep your feet together or to lift? I have a hard time doing both.
I loved day 20 got all sweaty💪💓 I am having the hardest time doing seated walk through? idk maybe I have to big a booty? or my arms a short? I'm only 4'10" so maybe as I keep losing weight it will be easier? any suggestions?
just found your videos and im loving themmmm
+melissalim Lim Great to hear! Keep practicing :)
Thx 😊 this helped a lot
Good to hear :)
If your hips are tight how often would you suggest stretching and how intense? My hips always seem so tight!
+Jessa Clark Practice six days a week, but don't push too hard. Be patient and kind with yourself and delve down into the inner body.
Great work hun! ❤️
+TheTeatoxShop Thanks :)
There is no way I can do that glide my legs are way too long for it. I try though.
Just do your best and keep practicing
is it common to get a head ache after bow pose? right after the second bow I got a major headache I had some relief with the twisting afterward. I feel fine now but I'm just curious:)
+Johanna Sepal That is a common response to deep backbends. Don't worry, it will abate over time as you continue to practice.
Thank you Kino!
Day 19 done 🥰
Nice work!
Bow pose always hurts one of the tendons on the outside of my knee. (Today it was the right knee) Any suggestions?
Stretch out your quads first and be sure that your knee is tracking in line with the hip joint.
That makes sense. Thanks for the prompt reply!!
Mike Seniors call me me a call
I wish you'd be my yoga instructor🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍
+Noel White Thanks!! We are practicing together here :)
Very butifoul
Yay :D
sexyna♥
