I am glad you're having a good year, and also glad that you'll continue to make yoga videos, I like you're style because unlike many other teachers, you don't go off on a tangent and leave us in a difficult pose while waffling about some historical quotes and wisdom etc.
I am a certified yoga teacher but work and life intervened when I started an office job about 10 years ago and working 10 hour days. I could not get back on to my mat - my passion for yoga was gone. I turned to pilates and walking instead. Well - then I found YOU and YOUR videos and I am so thrilled to say that because of you and your videos I have resumed a DAILY yoga practice - I do your 20, 30, or 40 minute videos after work at night. I have only missed a handful of days in several months. My body was falling apart - mostly my hips and lower back and digestion. But your emphasis on hip openers have done WONDERS on this old lady's body. My strength and muscles are returning - the mind/body/spirit remembers. So THANK YOU for being this wonderful light in the yoga community. I appreciate you so much.
I have no words to describe the feeling of gratefulnes this vulnerability video brings me. Sometimes one would think that everybody is feeling fine but you, and literally Kassandra one of my calm spaces also struggles with everyday feeling (as any other human). Big love to you, im so grateful and happy youre feeling better ❤️
So nice to hear from you, and wow.. who knew you were struggling so badly throughout 2021... I can relate.. your yoga videos have carried me through..thank you for being a pillar of strength even when you were struggling too... 🥰
Kassandra you are the best yoga teacher on UA-cam!! Thank you so much for your videos I hope you continue to enjoy making them because they are the best! I love every time I see a notification from you! I wish you success in everything you do and thank you again! 💖
PLEEEAAAASE DO THE HORSEY COFFEE CHAT!! Love hearing about it, you're living my dream. I do your yoga for equestrians video every week after my riding lesson and would love more of those too heheh
My life pretty much ended in December 2021. The love of my life, my husband suddenly died from covid. I felt like time stopped. 🥺💔 We had 30 years together. The grief is worse than I ever imagined. But, now I have to get my health in order. Mentally and physically. That is why I'm trying to get into yoga. Just found your channel. I need a cat and dog. But, money is tight. Hopefully one day. I think I need to get in touch with animals. Because humans are generally hurtful. I have heard some really hurtful things from my loss.
No words 😌 Thanks for sharing and making me put the small challenges in life into perspective. Go fill your cup with nature and animals but also don't give up on humans...there are some lovely ones especially in the YWK community 🙏🧡
I am so sorry for your loss.. What a huge transition this must be for you. If you're looking for some animal companionship but can't afford it you might enjoy fostering. They pay for everything and it's nice because it isn't a lifetime commitment so if it doesn't work out, they can go to another foster or just get adopted out. Just a suggestion but thank you for practicing with me and I genuinely hope the rest of your year goes smoother.
Please know that while you were struggling to "maintain" during 2021, the gift of your yoga videos was a major factor in my ability to survive and thrive. Your ten minute sessions became a cherished part of my daily routine. Technology is so great in fostering things like your ability to share with us in your channel, but it lacks the immediate feedback of direct interpersonal interaction. I know I am not alone in feeling gratitude to you for the gifts you have given. If we are all connected in some way at a deep subconscious level, I hope you can feel our collective gratitude and love at that level.
Thank you Kassandra for giving us a glimpse of your life. I'm so happy to hear that your 2022 is starting better than 2021. Thanks for your authenticity and vulnerability. Love these videos 😘
It is so relatable what you are sharing about 2021. I suffered from a burnout and just want to share that your video's pulled me back to myself. Learning to breath normally again and focussing on the moment im in, in stead of anxiety about my mental health or the world right now. Im sorry to hear you also had a rough year, but thank you so much for your video's!
Kassandra… you kept saying “I hope this makes sense…” and all, and I just wanted to say, it all totally makes sense. I don’t think anybody will be alarmed or upset or confused. I think a lot of people go through these changes and growth in their life. Glad you are finding success and becoming happier!
2021: most of us operated on auto-pilot. Now, it seems, we are more hopeful. Thanks, Kassandra, because you provided me (us) with opportunities to keep our bodies healthy. Know that your work is not in vain. Cheers from Calgary!
Fue lo mejor que encontré en UA-cam, que me ayuda cada mañana empezar mis días que son muy ajetreados , perdón pero hoy soy capaz de manejar tranquilizando mi mente, no es fácil porque tengo muchas cosas en mi8 mente, sin embargo lo intento todas las mañanas , amo los video cortos y lo hago porque tienes 5 minutos de meditación 🧘♂️ y me encanta . Gracias . Gracias 🙏
Horses are the best and just being with them is so healing. I look forward to hearing more Kassandra and Java adventures. Good to hear you're finding balance in your life and congrats on your new book. Thanks for sharing! 🐎💖
Congratulations on the new book, the horse, spending time on you and finding your new balance. You have a wonderful library of yoga to assist so many of us out here.
It’s truly great that you’ve found a thing that’s just yours. I know exactly what you mean. This last year I threw myself into learning piano for pretty much the same reasons. There has to be something, some small island that is unquestionably you. You do give so much and it warms my heart that you still have something in reserve. Thanks for all you do.
When u said “I am not going away”..that brought back my heartbeat 😅 The way you felt last year is so much relatable to me..and its ok, we all get through such phases sometimes. Do whatever makes you happy thats all life is about! You and your practices makes my day happy, its a blessing! Thankyou for being what you are 😍
🔥🔥🔥 I am blindly follow ur evening and morning yoga workout beginners and really enjoy it alot ....thanks for such beautiful helping video 👍 and love from Bilaspur Chhattisgarh, India 💙
This is so inspiring. I love that you didn’t know what was “wrong “ but you didn’t let yourself go down the deep depression and give up. You kept going until you felt what you needed! Joy is huge! Allowing yourself to take care of you is amazing! Bravo!!! I see you as a mentor for me. Thanks for sharing!
I have been doing yoga with you for years, and this was my first time watching a coffee chat. I enjoyed getting to know a little more about you and I appreciate hearing about how you are finding balance. It's touching to see your passion and love for a new hobby...one that is just for you! Good luck in this next endeavor!
I can relate to burn out. I've been depressed & Your yoga videos & meditation help me so much. Thank you 💜 I can't wait for your book. & l'm glad yr is going well 💜
I'm glad you are on a better place now and congratulations with Java! I also ride horses and its a passion you'll never lose and something you will always continue to learn about. I'm in that weird place right now where I don't feel like myself, no energy, sore body and head and having stress breakdowns at work. That's why I looked up Yoga for beginners on UA-cam to try to do something good for myself. I'm now a week into your 30 day morning yoga series and it has really been getting me up and motivated about something ❤️ can't wait to learn more about yoga and discover all your other videos.
i truly love hearing you talk about the love for your horse. I`m an equestrian, and hearing you talk about the love for your horse just brings tears to my eyes. i would love to hear about the jurney with you and your horse. Horses truly bring so much peace into my life and hearing you say that it does the same for you is so beautiful. i hope you have an amezing year up ahead.
We have only one life to live! There’s many options to do and explore that we shouldn’t have the feeling that we have to do the same thing most of our life. Enjoy the ride and be happy! I’m so happy to hear that we will still have you teaching yoga :)
So happy to hear you found Java! Horses are great teachers! My life has been enriched by many, they are all different for sure. I can't wait for your book. I work out with you almost daily! Love your channel and your Red hair! Happy Trails to you and Java!
That was a lovely treat as I sipped on a cup of tea (UK 😄☕). Thanks for sharing all the highs and lows and I think you are extra incredible to have continued producing new exciting classes, keeping us all going AND writing a book last year while you felt so low. 2022 has not started well for me (3rd attempted house move just fell through) so it seems the continual anxiety of the past 3 years is endless 😖 However I continue to find huge mental and physical comfort in your classes (new and the older ones - fab just a bit frenzied) so thank you will never be a good enough word for all you have done on your channel 🙏 Promoting amd providing free yoga is the greatest gift to...the world...so you go girl and take time for yourself now as no-one deserves it more. Phew you'll still be doing a weekly UA-cam though and VERY excited about getting my paws on Year of Yoga book. Yes please to another coffee chat when the mood takes you - horses, dogs, cats all very welcome. YWK is so much more than just asanas 💙
Just watched your recent Coffee Chat. I enjoyed getting to know you -- very authentic. Thank you! I related strongly to your way of thinking about living! I share your feeling of connection to animals. I also foster cats and love horses, and am seeking to spend more time with them. I would love to hear more about Java - your experience, his personality, etc.
I've practiced yoga with my horse several times and would love a coffee chat featuring your new family member, Java! I hope that year 2022 brings you more balance and joy. I'm very excited for your book.
Greetings from Italy beautiful soul💙🔆happy for you and wanted to thank you for your amazing yoga classes-you are so much more then yoga but just to say it bc it's true-you are a really amazing yoga teacher! Love this chats 2-they really calm down-wishing you the best❤
Thank you for posting this and being open. It's amazing how many of us all have the same feelings but feel like we are alone, you putting this content up helps with knowing we are not by ourselves with our feelings. Burnout is real and varies for each of us in how we got there. Thank you!
So sorry I missed the live chat! Admire you and appreciate your being real with us. Love your classes and know that it’s a big commitment to give knowledge to us. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey! 2021 was for me the worst year of my life, I lost a brother from COVID and my beloved dog Sasha also passed away last July, and it was thanks to your video of affirmations for grief that I retook my yoga practice and haven’t stopped since then. Your classes have helped so much in so many ways that I can’t thank you enough. So it is important for me to tell you that I’m sure you have helped so many other people and that your work is so important and valuable for many of us, I really appreciate the love and effort you put into every single class, thank you again for walking the road with us! ❤️🙏
I connected with you when I found you during the pandemic, Kassandra! Prior to the pandemic, I only practiced yoga in a studio, but your channel made at home yoga both challenging and enjoyable for me. I too, loved my ballet lessons and horseback riding as a child, and I found yoga in my mid-thirties. I became a certified yoga teacher in my early 60's and am now able to work on making yoga my passion! I agree that finding balance in our lives is critical. You are an inspiration and thank you for sharing your talents with us!
I'm so glad you are taking time for yourself to rest and recharge and explore a fun new hobby just for you! Love your work and I am so glad to hear you are making yourself a priority.
You don't sound alarming at all, just human. The past few years have been hard for a lot of us. The importance of bring back joy makes a lot of sense. A reminder, that I also need to do that. Thank you.
I’m so happy you’re coming out of your burn out & finding your joy again! I’m in the middle of mine hopefully towards the end. We moved, changed jobs, yes also changed my hair 😂 I’m not sure the job was the best idea as it wasn’t a change in my career. I’ve taken multiple yoga teacher trainings, Reiki certification & have begun selling essential oils all of which I love!! But my day job is not my passion. Just something I can do that sources my income & livelihood. I hope to feel where you are soon! I might need to make some scary changes first ☺️ keep it up & love on your new boy Java! ✌🏼
You're SO PRETTY ( Seriously , I Can't get over how Gorgeous your hair is , the Red is SO you . I couldn't imagine it Any other way . SO PRETTY 😍 💗 💖🔥 💖❤💖✨✨✨✨🙏🏻🕉
Thank you for all your video your content is absolutely incredible I follow all of you yoga videos and I love you so much that’s my favourite one, that’s good to share your life✨✨👍
Just been listening to your coffee chat and it's very heartwarming that you were open about your mental health and burn out I wouldn't have recognised that I was suffering before you mentioned about how you felt ...thank you ....keep safe x
Thank you so much for this video! It is so relatable. Finding a reason to jump out of bed in the morning is so important. I feel the same; working hard for the last few years, just because you’re used to it. But what is your passion! Love to see that you’ve found it with your beautiful horse. Good luck and all the love 💕
Thanks for sharing this journey and vulnerability! Excited for your book. Also crazy, we look so much alike-I sent a video to my sister because you totally look like you could be a long-lost sister and it's like watching myself as a red head on UA-cam! 😂🤗Eyes nose and expressions❤️❤️ If you have any relatives in Utah USA I wouldn't be surprised😂 Keep going and doing what your doing and how fun about the horses!!
Such a blessing to be able to spend time with horses... I'll have to live through your experiences... question,...I am subscribed and do your classes regularly. Does this mean I have the app? Can't seem to find any icon suggesting an app. Or do I get through Google Apps? Thank you for your help with this.
I'm glad I watched your Cofee chat and got to hear about your personal life. I enjoy your yoga/ meditation videos. It's how I have coped with the struggles of 2020/2021... Knowing that you are an animal lover and horse person, I suggest you watch the UA-cam video The Herd. I think you will like it
Thank you, Dear Kassandra, for sharing with us! I enjoy your videos and LOVE your Affirmations! I share your Excellent Ideas in my own classes (all translated into German!), of course giving credit to you. May this year continue to go well for you! Love the red hair!!!
You make yourself very clear, and what you've been through makes a lot of sense. I'm super happy you've found new joy, away from the public eye! However, I have survived ( ;) ) this year thanks to your yoga classes and I would be kind of sad if you dropped it. So I hope you won't. Oh, thanks! you're saying just now in the video that you'll remain our yoga teacher! ;) ahahahah! Lots of things will still happen to you, great things, your mindset is awesome! I am also happy to be part of the community you have created and the fact that you remain genuine and humble even after all this success!!!! THANK YOU!
For me it was a great year bcs I discovered you ❤️🙏🏼😊 (fan girl😅) P.S the pandemic brought a lot of things to the surface personally and collectively and hopefully in the end we will be able to grow and learn. …Your authenticity shines through your work, I for one feel grateful to have finally been able to start yoga and it’s bcs of you…. Congratulations on your book and good luck, I look forward to it! And I hope you find fulfillment and balance in every part of your life🌺 indulge in your passion!
Hey Kassandra. Here’s a long overdue thanks for your daily guidance in the morning yoga movement. I’ve been practicing It for three years and I can’t imagine my daily routine without it. Yes, 2021 was a tough year. I retired in 2020 due it Covid and concentrated on building healthy daily habits, including yoga with Kassandra! I’m glad you’re on a positive track and enjoying your life!
I'm personally very grateful for the Yoga instruction you provide. My life has changed significantly since starting to follow you 8 months ago. I have had recurring lower back injuries (12x in about 18 months) prior to following your channel. Having such a mindful and intentional instructor to follow at the push of a button has irreversibly changed my life in a positive fashion. Thank you.
Thank you for chatting with us about what you've been going through. Oddly I'm going through something similar. But I can't pinpoint it! Is it the malaise from COVID, all the changes we've suddenly had in our lives? The divisions? Is it something in the ozone layer? So many of us are just about walking zombies bumping our way through our days. I suffered four losses in the family, too - your yin and meditation practices have been more important to me than ever. I'm so happy for you that the steps you are taking are helping, especially the big news about your horse!I am so looking forward to your book - I love your Yin Yoga book and would never suspect you didn't have a good experience publishing it. You've manifested so much with those positive affirmations. ♥ PS one video a week will still be wonderful!
I like your high sensitivity, and open talk about it. In Belgium we like you for the yoga video's on youtube. Indeed animals can fulfill your life. We complete understand you. All the best for 2022 and a lot of readers for your new yoga book. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
Hi Kassandra, I just wanted to give you a BIG thanks for your wonderful videos and teaching style. 2021 was also a tough year for me, but thanks to your channel it was much more manageable! Thanks again from the bottom of my heart
Glad to hear your chat. Glad you will continue YWK, and I love your app. I totally agree, work shouldn't take up too much of your life. I too almost totally lost it, all work and no play. I was only thinking and hoping to retire at 55. I only started to live after I started running and took up painting. Now I'm 59, still working, and I'm OK with that, I do Yoga :) and mixed media art. Added more stuff, yes, but feel more fulfilled.
Hey Cassy :) i love ur videos, its ny goto wheb its yogatime. One request : Can U do a video on Kundalini syndrome\how to manage bad kundalini awakening ? That wud be very helpfyl :)
Well done, Kassandra! I'm very pleased for you that you have Java in your life! I appreciate your sincerity! Balance, moderation =key! Best of health! We should all pay attention to burnout
I know this video is from some time ago, but I am watching it today for inspiration about my business dreams. I want to start an online community for Neurodivergence & Meditation. I'm a certified mindfulness teacher and mental health therapist. I'm also a single mom, which has been the biggest challenge in my career journey of manifesting my passion into the world. I don't always know how to balance my parenting life with my career dreams, but it's something I am devoted to working out in a way that feels beneficial to my soul. Thank you for this beautiful inspiration!
I am a huge fan and follower. I use your videos to practice every day. A couple of years ago when I started I was truly beginner to yoga. I started with your 10 min videos and now after close to 2 years of practice atleast 5 times / week, I now use your minimal cues intermediate videos... I have truly come a long way and a huge Thanks ! to you... Totally Appreciate what you are doing...Please do make more minimal cues videos.. I love them :) 😃🙏🙏
Ah I feel you so much. 2021 was a crap year. I feel exactly how you described yourself. I could feel my self slipping lower and lower and finally hit rick bottom before I knew it. I felt alone until I started talking about it with others and realized wow everyone said 21 was the lowest of low for them too. I felt better knowing I'm not alone. I started focusing on myself and healing..shedding 21 and growing into 22. That's actually how I found you. I absolutely love your 30 day challenges. I started I January. And I look forward to continuing more. In happy you continued to do your videos. Its helped me alot. Cheers.
Really enjoyed this coffee chat vid, your yoga vid helped me to relax during the beginning of pandemic and still binge watch yr vid. Thank you for opening up cuz when we think about it, you're not alone going thru anxiety n the whole craziness of what's happening with the world situation coping with the pandemic plus individual personal life. Your book writing is really inspiring n glad to see you finally slowing down to relax & take a breather to give time for yourself. Best of luck Kassandra & give yourself a pat for what you've achieved.👏👏❤️
Very glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and making necessary changes to benefit your life and make you feel better! Like many other people in the comments I just wanted to add that your videos have been the best thing to happen to me when quarantine happened in 2020. I had just started doing yoga in person in 2019 to manage a horrible anxiety and panic disorder and having it pulled out from under me due to the pandemic was extremely frustrating. I think you and your channel are the best on UA-cam!! Thank you for powering through for us (and I'm sure also for yourself). Congrats on all your success and making it through 2021 - it sucked so hard. Hoping 2022 is your best year yet!
Yes! Please do a horse coffee chat. Would love to find out more about what type of riding you are doing. Also look up tellington touch (T-touch), it’s great for horse massage. Sally Swift’s book on centered riding is fantastic for any rider, especially green riders.
Thank you for opening up! It's nice to see the human side with the joys and struggles that all of us face in life. Animals are a blessing and I "get you" when you say it is very emotional to foster. That is one of the reasons I don't. Horses are on my tope 3 fav animals but don't know much about them. I only know that they give me so much peace and I feel loved when I'm around them. I'm happy for you and I definitely want the Chat with JAVA. I'm checking his IG account too. I do yoga with you most mornings and occasional at night. Thank you. Congratulations on your book also. Last but not least, your new look is beautiful! You deserve all of this!
Thank you for continuing to make yoga videos even though you were not feeling well. I started your yoga videos in 2021 and it has helped me tremendously for my physical and mental health. Your work matters a lot to me. Thanks♥️🙏
What a wonderful chat, very honest, reflective and personal. 2021 has turned into a horrible year for myself, upon reflection I gave my power to others who really didn't care. 2022 is going to be spent getting back to me, any tips from anyone on how to do that would be appreciated. Thank you for your classes and hard work. You are an amazing lady. X
Kassandra, I am so happy for you! I am glad this year is much better, newer, fresher, and just happier! Enjoy your horse, have fun and learn lots. We all need balance and it is so good that you now have something for you, prioritize you! You deserve it! You've done a lot for so many people on the UA-cam platform all around the world, including me. I cant wait to see you continue to grow in your life passions!
Really enjoyed this chat Kassandra. So sorry you experienced burnout but really pleased you are in such a good place now with your life and your lovely horse. Can't believe you do that life mapping every year - not sure of the correct terminology. I've never planned anything in my life. So great to hear you in such a happy place. You are a wonder Kassandra. You deserve all the success and personal happiness. Keep it up! Sue from Thirsk in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Wow brilliant. You gave your yoga empire your all and mastered it! Now you’re adding another path with heart. It’s beautiful how you came to that realization and transition. Mastering something really does take everything you have, but you did it!! In my humble opinion you should spoil the shit out of yourself. Congrats on the new baby, and you’re slaying it with the new hair girl. Thanks again ❤️
I totally understand your feelings about buying your horse. I think I bought mine around the same time as you. He's a foal and he will stay in Iceland for a few years more (I'm not Icelandic, I just lived and worked here for the last six months), but I think I get the feeling☺️ especially that it feels so surreal. I look so forward to taking him in. It fits best for me and him that he's staying in Iceland, but it's still hard😥Thank you for sharing all this with you. I wish you an amazing year🥰☺️
Hello Kassandra! I am so glad to hear that you are doing better this year! We all have slumps but I am so happy and proud of you for persevering despite how hard it must have been. 2021 may not have been your greatest year, but, it was this year I was able to do yoga almost everyday and it was all due to how much I love your yin yoga videos! 2021 was the year I finally gave up drinking permanently and implemented yoga instead to process a lot of profound past trauma as well as cope with life stresses. Just for context, I am 31 years old now and started drinking and doing drugs when I was about 14-15. All this to say, that even in your darkest time you were able to help out someone like me enormously (and certainly plenty of others) by bringing me to the light. I hope the rest of your year is great as well. Lots of love and thank you so much for your life-changing videos :)
Thank you for this video. I was going to pass over it but I'm glad I took the time to listen. Thank you, thank you. I had a crazy 2021 and work burnout led to my first ever panic attck in the fall. My world was rocked. Part of getting out of panic and then dealing with anxiety for the first time in my life has involved many different things: relaxation, cognitive behavior therapy and yoga. I'm picky about yoga teachers and had already tried Yin and didn't like it... But then I found you. And it clicked. Anyway, I'm doing better but not every day is better than the last. And today to listen to you explain what you went through means the world to me as it help to feel less alone, to know that sometimes even if you are doing everything right you may not feel right. Mostly coming from my online yoga teacher, it feels comoforting. I get it. Thanks.
Thank you Kassandra for sharing your honesty and openness about your life. You definitely know to take charge,find solutions, passion and joy in your life. Keep up this great work and stay healthy. Your new hairstyle looks amazing and I will certainly buy your new book.🙏🧡
Thank you for sharing and being so open. We all need an outlet. May it be from work or the everyday cycle of life. Your work is amazing. You deserve to nourish yourself and find that joy so you can keep moving forward and upward. I loved the way you just lit up when you started to talk about Java. Now I'm inspired to dust off an old hobby from childhood.
So happy that you have found something just for you that brings you joy and happiness. You have worked so hard on your Yoga career and have given it your all ( to our benefit). You have earned and so richly deserve this. I am facing retirement this year, After 45 years of nursing I too am searching for something that is not career or "other" related. Something just for me. Take good care . I look forward to the new book which I have pre-ordered, All the best to you. Debbie
I never get to comment because I watch your videos on my TV! You are so awesome! My mom taught yoga but never taught me and I've developed hip and lower back issues over the years and recently had to quit working. Your yoga has saved me! I've been watching your videos for 4 months and I even do intermediate now. I saw the elemental yoga and the affirmations and just thought you were so cool. Now you have this book that goes with the moon cycles! Definitely going to buy! I hope 2022 continues to be great for you!!
Dear Kassandra Thank you soooo much for telling us about your struggles and feelings. As I admire you (and many other inspiring people) I often believe it's only me who is struggling. I do yoga with you since 5 years at least and went to a lot of personal processes in this time. also because of you and your teaching style. It is absolutely perfect for me and I am happy to hear, that you will continue Yoga with Kassandra. Don't put pressure on yourself. You released so much content, there is plenty for everyone without you having to put out a new video every week. Enjoy live beside work. I want to say: there are some "old" flows and videos, which are alltime favourites for me. So no, they arent awkward 😀 it is great to see how you developed. but for me and my needs, you were a great yoga teacher from begin on. Take care!
Hi Kassandra 😊 I actually came to your channel to praise you for your amazing work, and ended up watching your coffee chat! I can't believe I could have been practicing yoga with you for 8 whole years. I only just found your channel about a month ago. I just love how well made your videos are, how well spoken you are, how gentle and kind you are in the way you teach and guide us. I'm sorry to hear about your difficult year , but thankful that you shared it. You are a wonderful example of self care and yet you can be honest about your struggle. I love that you are motivated by new challenges and you are now living the horse life. Animals are amazing. You absolutely deserve to enjoy the fruit of your hard work after offering something so valuable to millions of people: the opportunity to relax. Would love to learn more about Java, but don't have any questions because I don't even know the first thing about horses! Just laughed when you used the word equation because I saw a pun there! Thanks for everything you've done and continue to do.
Thank you for sharing your journey. You have given me lots to think about for my own path. Good lessons here. Thanks for all you do and especially for all you ARE!
I love you Cassandra I think you're awesome and I'm glad to hear you are doing well and are happy. I do your 10 minute yoga every morning. It's like medicine for me. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your journey with us. I am a massage therapist and have experienced burnout a few times during my 20 plus years and somehow, like you and I’m sure many others, had to replenish myself. It’s not selfish and I am glad that you found what you needed 😊🐴
Very relatable!! 2021 was also a really bad year, maybe my worst year in my life. Especially when the lockdowns came, your yoga helped me to continue my day and ward off the anxiety and panic attacks. Been a follower of your channel ever since then. Thank you so much and also take care of yourself!! :)
You are a great yoga teacher Kassandra! I simply love the way you treat the practice itself each time in very calming and holistic view while giving me a very clear explanation about how a pose should happen! I am wishing you an exciting way and happy you are still influence rhe physical and mental life of so many people. Happy New "channel year" Thank you 🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻
I am glad you're having a good year, and also glad that you'll continue to make yoga videos, I like you're style because unlike many other teachers, you don't go off on a tangent and leave us in a difficult pose while waffling about some historical quotes and wisdom etc.
Haha ya I like to get on with it 😂
I absolutely hate when they go on a tangent.
I agree :)
That's why I love this channel too. Don't tell me "one more deep breath in" then tell me a 3 minute story!
TOTALLY agree!
I am a certified yoga teacher but work and life intervened when I started an office job about 10 years ago and working 10 hour days. I could not get back on to my mat - my passion for yoga was gone. I turned to pilates and walking instead. Well - then I found YOU and YOUR videos and I am so thrilled to say that because of you and your videos I have resumed a DAILY yoga practice - I do your 20, 30, or 40 minute videos after work at night. I have only missed a handful of days in several months. My body was falling apart - mostly my hips and lower back and digestion. But your emphasis on hip openers have done WONDERS on this old lady's body. My strength and muscles are returning - the mind/body/spirit remembers. So THANK YOU for being this wonderful light in the yoga community. I appreciate you so much.
I have no words to describe the feeling of gratefulnes this vulnerability video brings me. Sometimes one would think that everybody is feeling fine but you, and literally Kassandra one of my calm spaces also struggles with everyday feeling (as any other human). Big love to you, im so grateful and happy youre feeling better ❤️
You bring up a really good point!! Hobbies are really important! And not monetizing it!
Yes, exactly
So nice to hear from you, and wow.. who knew you were struggling so badly throughout 2021... I can relate.. your yoga videos have carried me through..thank you for being a pillar of strength even when you were struggling too... 🥰
Kassandra you are the best yoga teacher on UA-cam!! Thank you so much for your videos I hope you continue to enjoy making them because they are the best! I love every time I see a notification from you! I wish you success in everything you do and thank you again! 💖
PLEEEAAAASE DO THE HORSEY COFFEE CHAT!! Love hearing about it, you're living my dream. I do your yoga for equestrians video every week after my riding lesson and would love more of those too heheh
Same!! I was a ballet kid who wanted a horse, too 😘
My life pretty much ended in December 2021. The love of my life, my husband suddenly died from covid. I felt like time stopped. 🥺💔 We had 30 years together. The grief is worse than I ever imagined. But, now I have to get my health in order. Mentally and physically. That is why I'm trying to get into yoga. Just found your channel. I need a cat and dog. But, money is tight. Hopefully one day. I think I need to get in touch with animals. Because humans are generally hurtful. I have heard some really hurtful things from my loss.
sorry for your loss, wishing you all the best
that's heartbreaking, so sorry for your loss, may you find balance and peace Danielle
Sorry for your loss. Maybe you can look into foresting a dog or cats
Peace
No words 😌 Thanks for sharing and making me put the small challenges in life into perspective. Go fill your cup with nature and animals but also don't give up on humans...there are some lovely ones especially in the YWK community 🙏🧡
I am so sorry for your loss.. What a huge transition this must be for you. If you're looking for some animal companionship but can't afford it you might enjoy fostering. They pay for everything and it's nice because it isn't a lifetime commitment so if it doesn't work out, they can go to another foster or just get adopted out. Just a suggestion but thank you for practicing with me and I genuinely hope the rest of your year goes smoother.
Please know that while you were struggling to "maintain" during 2021, the gift of your yoga videos was a major factor in my ability to survive and thrive. Your ten minute sessions became a cherished part of my daily routine. Technology is so great in fostering things like your ability to share with us in your channel, but it lacks the immediate feedback of direct interpersonal interaction. I know I am not alone in feeling gratitude to you for the gifts you have given. If we are all connected in some way at a deep subconscious level, I hope you can feel our collective gratitude and love at that level.
Thank you Kassandra for giving us a glimpse of your life. I'm so happy to hear that your 2022 is starting better than 2021. Thanks for your authenticity and vulnerability. Love these videos 😘
It is so relatable what you are sharing about 2021. I suffered from a burnout and just want to share that your video's pulled me back to myself. Learning to breath normally again and focussing on the moment im in, in stead of anxiety about my mental health or the world right now. Im sorry to hear you also had a rough year, but thank you so much for your video's!
Kassandra… you kept saying “I hope this makes sense…” and all, and I just wanted to say, it all totally makes sense. I don’t think anybody will be alarmed or upset or confused. I think a lot of people go through these changes and growth in their life. Glad you are finding success and becoming happier!
Thanks. I think being misunderstood is a big fear and insecurity of mine!
2021: most of us operated on auto-pilot. Now, it seems, we are more hopeful. Thanks, Kassandra, because you provided me (us) with opportunities to keep our bodies healthy. Know that your work is not in vain. Cheers from Calgary!
Fue lo mejor que encontré en UA-cam, que me ayuda cada mañana empezar mis días que son muy ajetreados , perdón pero hoy soy capaz de manejar tranquilizando mi mente, no es fácil porque tengo muchas cosas en mi8 mente, sin embargo lo intento todas las mañanas , amo los video cortos y lo hago porque tienes 5 minutos de meditación 🧘♂️ y me encanta . Gracias . Gracias 🙏
practicing yoga with u in the morning is definitely the best part of my day
Horses are the best and just being with them is so healing. I look forward to hearing more Kassandra and Java adventures. Good to hear you're finding balance in your life and congrats on your new book. Thanks for sharing! 🐎💖
Congratulations on the new book, the horse, spending time on you and finding your new balance.
You have a wonderful library of yoga to assist so many of us out here.
It’s truly great that you’ve found a thing that’s just yours. I know exactly what you mean. This last year I threw myself into learning piano for pretty much the same reasons. There has to be something, some small island that is unquestionably you. You do give so much and it warms my heart that you still have something in reserve. Thanks for all you do.
When u said “I am not going away”..that brought back my heartbeat 😅 The way you felt last year is so much relatable to me..and its ok, we all get through such phases sometimes. Do whatever makes you happy thats all life is about! You and your practices makes my day happy, its a blessing! Thankyou for being what you are 😍
🔥🔥🔥 I am blindly follow ur evening and morning yoga workout beginners and really enjoy it alot ....thanks for such beautiful helping video 👍 and love from Bilaspur Chhattisgarh, India 💙
I struggle with balance both figuratively and literally! Yoga has helped me so much though, it has helped me learn to listen to my body. Thank you💚
This is so inspiring. I love that you didn’t know what was “wrong “ but you didn’t let yourself go down the deep depression and give up. You kept going until you felt what you needed! Joy is huge! Allowing yourself to take care of you is amazing! Bravo!!! I see you as a mentor for me. Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to hear more about Java! Love your Yoga sessions, especially the Yin practises 🥰
I have been doing yoga with you for years, and this was my first time watching a coffee chat. I enjoyed getting to know a little more about you and I appreciate hearing about how you are finding balance. It's touching to see your passion and love for a new hobby...one that is just for you! Good luck in this next endeavor!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you. And please a Java chat! Love horses.
I can relate to burn out. I've been depressed & Your yoga videos & meditation help me so much. Thank you 💜 I can't wait for your book. & l'm glad yr is going well 💜
I'm glad you are on a better place now and congratulations with Java! I also ride horses and its a passion you'll never lose and something you will always continue to learn about. I'm in that weird place right now where I don't feel like myself, no energy, sore body and head and having stress breakdowns at work. That's why I looked up Yoga for beginners on UA-cam to try to do something good for myself. I'm now a week into your 30 day morning yoga series and it has really been getting me up and motivated about something ❤️ can't wait to learn more about yoga and discover all your other videos.
Love your hair. You look stunning with red or black hair. 🥰
i truly love hearing you talk about the love for your horse. I`m an equestrian, and hearing you talk about the love for your horse just brings tears to my eyes. i would love to hear about the jurney with you and your horse. Horses truly bring so much peace into my life and hearing you say that it does the same for you is so beautiful. i hope you have an amezing year up ahead.
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
We have only one life to live! There’s many options to do and explore that we shouldn’t have the feeling that we have to do the same thing most of our life. Enjoy the ride and be happy! I’m so happy to hear that we will still have you teaching yoga :)
Love your coffee talks!! Would love a personal q&a soon if it's something you wouldn't mind filming 🥰
So happy to hear you found Java! Horses are great teachers! My life has been enriched by many, they are all different for sure. I can't wait for your book. I work out with you almost daily! Love your channel and your Red hair! Happy Trails to you and Java!
Congratulations on all your new endeavors! I think it’s great that you are focusing on self care and your personal goals. I wish you much success! 🙌🏾
Completely get you. I really think last year had that effect on so many people. Your honesty is inspirational
That was a lovely treat as I sipped on a cup of tea (UK 😄☕). Thanks for sharing all the highs and lows and I think you are extra incredible to have continued producing new exciting classes, keeping us all going AND writing a book last year while you felt so low. 2022 has not started well for me (3rd attempted house move just fell through) so it seems the continual anxiety of the past 3 years is endless 😖 However I continue to find huge mental and physical comfort in your classes (new and the older ones - fab just a bit frenzied) so thank you will never be a good enough word for all you have done on your channel 🙏 Promoting amd providing free yoga is the greatest gift to...the world...so you go girl and take time for yourself now as no-one deserves it more. Phew you'll still be doing a weekly UA-cam though and VERY excited about getting my paws on Year of Yoga book. Yes please to another coffee chat when the mood takes you - horses, dogs, cats all very welcome. YWK is so much more than just asanas 💙
Just watched your recent Coffee Chat. I enjoyed getting to know you -- very authentic. Thank you! I related strongly to your way of thinking about living! I share your feeling of connection to animals. I also foster cats and love horses, and am seeking to spend more time with them. I would love to hear more about Java - your experience, his personality, etc.
I've practiced yoga with my horse several times and would love a coffee chat featuring your new family member, Java! I hope that year 2022 brings you more balance and joy. I'm very excited for your book.
Greetings from Italy beautiful soul💙🔆happy for you and wanted to thank you for your amazing yoga classes-you are so much more then yoga but just to say it bc it's true-you are a really amazing yoga teacher!
Love this chats 2-they really calm down-wishing you the best❤
Thank you for posting this and being open. It's amazing how many of us all have the same feelings but feel like we are alone, you putting this content up helps with knowing we are not by ourselves with our feelings. Burnout is real and varies for each of us in how we got there. Thank you!
For me, you have so much content that can keep me busy for years!! Hope u Take a break 😍 love u
Your hair looks amazing! I do love your channel! What your explaining is exactly what I'm going through.
So sorry I missed the live chat! Admire you and appreciate your being real with us. Love your classes and know that it’s a big commitment to give knowledge to us. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey! 2021 was for me the worst year of my life, I lost a brother from COVID and my beloved dog Sasha also passed away last July, and it was thanks to your video of affirmations for grief that I retook my yoga practice and haven’t stopped since then. Your classes have helped so much in so many ways that I can’t thank you enough. So it is important for me to tell you that I’m sure you have helped so many other people and that your work is so important and valuable for many of us, I really appreciate the love and effort you put into every single class, thank you again for walking the road with us! ❤️🙏
I connected with you when I found you during the pandemic, Kassandra! Prior to the pandemic, I only practiced yoga in a studio, but your channel made at home yoga both challenging and enjoyable for me. I too, loved my ballet lessons and horseback riding as a child, and I found yoga in my mid-thirties. I became a certified yoga teacher in my early 60's and am now able to work on making yoga my passion! I agree that finding balance in our lives is critical. You are an inspiration and thank you for sharing your talents with us!
I'm so glad you are taking time for yourself to rest and recharge and explore a fun new hobby just for you! Love your work and I am so glad to hear you are making yourself a priority.
You don't sound alarming at all, just human. The past few years have been hard for a lot of us. The importance of bring back joy makes a lot of sense. A reminder, that I also need to do that. Thank you.
I’m so happy you’re coming out of your burn out & finding your joy again! I’m in the middle of mine hopefully towards the end. We moved, changed jobs, yes also changed my hair 😂 I’m not sure the job was the best idea as it wasn’t a change in my career. I’ve taken multiple yoga teacher trainings, Reiki certification & have begun selling essential oils all of which I love!! But my day job is not my passion. Just something I can do that sources my income & livelihood. I hope to feel where you are soon! I might need to make some scary changes first ☺️ keep it up & love on your new boy Java! ✌🏼
You are amazing 🤩 and I like your hair alot 😍😍
Thank you Kassandra for your willingness to be utterly authentic and vulnerable. ❤️
Please please make more videos about Java and your journey together. Would absolutely love that 💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Namaste.
You're SO PRETTY ( Seriously , I Can't get over how Gorgeous your hair is , the Red is SO you . I couldn't imagine it Any other way . SO PRETTY 😍 💗 💖🔥 💖❤💖✨✨✨✨🙏🏻🕉
Thank you for all your video your content is absolutely incredible I follow all of you yoga videos and I love you so much that’s my favourite one, that’s good to share your life✨✨👍
Just been listening to your coffee chat and it's very heartwarming that you were open about your mental health and burn out I wouldn't have recognised that I was suffering before you mentioned about how you felt ...thank you ....keep safe x
Thank you so much for this video! It is so relatable. Finding a reason to jump out of bed in the morning is so important. I feel the same; working hard for the last few years, just because you’re used to it. But what is your passion! Love to see that you’ve found it with your beautiful horse. Good luck and all the love 💕
Thanks for sharing this journey and vulnerability! Excited for your book. Also crazy, we look so much alike-I sent a video to my sister because you totally look like you could be a long-lost sister and it's like watching myself as a red head on UA-cam! 😂🤗Eyes nose and expressions❤️❤️ If you have any relatives in Utah USA I wouldn't be surprised😂 Keep going and doing what your doing and how fun about the horses!!
Did your foster kitties all get adopted? Or did you end up keeping one? A failed foster? I have three of those. Currently. :)
so nice to hear your update- I appreciate all you offer with your yoga teachings but it's so important to self-care!! xxx
Such a blessing to be able to spend time with horses... I'll have to live through your experiences... question,...I am subscribed and do your classes regularly. Does this mean I have the app? Can't seem to find any icon suggesting an app. Or do I get through Google Apps? Thank you for your help with this.
I'm glad I watched your Cofee chat and got to hear about your personal life. I enjoy your yoga/ meditation videos. It's how I have coped with the struggles of 2020/2021... Knowing that you are an animal lover and horse person, I suggest you watch the UA-cam video The Herd. I think you will like it
Thank you, Dear Kassandra, for sharing with us! I enjoy your videos and LOVE your Affirmations! I share your Excellent Ideas in my own classes (all translated into German!), of course giving credit to you. May this year continue to go well for you! Love the red hair!!!
You make yourself very clear, and what you've been through makes a lot of sense. I'm super happy you've found new joy, away from the public eye! However, I have survived ( ;) ) this year thanks to your yoga classes and I would be kind of sad if you dropped it. So I hope you won't. Oh, thanks! you're saying just now in the video that you'll remain our yoga teacher! ;) ahahahah! Lots of things will still happen to you, great things, your mindset is awesome! I am also happy to be part of the community you have created and the fact that you remain genuine and humble even after all this success!!!! THANK YOU!
For me it was a great year bcs I discovered you ❤️🙏🏼😊 (fan girl😅)
P.S the pandemic brought a lot of things to the surface personally and collectively and hopefully in the end we will be able to grow and learn.
…Your authenticity shines through your work, I for one feel grateful to have finally been able to start yoga and it’s bcs of you….
Congratulations on your book and good luck, I look forward to it! And I hope you find fulfillment and balance in every part of your life🌺 indulge in your passion!
Do you know this book? The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You - June 2, 1997 by Elaine N. Aron (Author)
Hey Kassandra. Here’s a long overdue thanks for your daily guidance in the morning yoga movement. I’ve been practicing It for three years and I can’t imagine my daily routine without it. Yes, 2021 was a tough year. I retired in 2020 due it Covid and concentrated on building healthy daily habits, including yoga with Kassandra! I’m glad you’re on a positive track and enjoying your life!
I really enjoyed your coffee chat and would enjoy more, take care Kassandra and thank you for sharing you yoga wisdom, it’s much appreciated 🧘♀️🙏💕
I'm personally very grateful for the Yoga instruction you provide. My life has changed significantly since starting to follow you 8 months ago. I have had recurring lower back injuries (12x in about 18 months) prior to following your channel. Having such a mindful and intentional instructor to follow at the push of a button has irreversibly changed my life in a positive fashion.
Thank you.
Thank you for chatting with us about what you've been going through. Oddly I'm going through something similar. But I can't pinpoint it! Is it the malaise from COVID, all the changes we've suddenly had in our lives? The divisions? Is it something in the ozone layer? So many of us are just about walking zombies bumping our way through our days. I suffered four losses in the family, too - your yin and meditation practices have been more important to me than ever. I'm so happy for you that the steps you are taking are helping, especially the big news about your horse!I am so looking forward to your book - I love your Yin Yoga book and would never suspect you didn't have a good experience publishing it. You've manifested so much with those positive affirmations. ♥ PS one video a week will still be wonderful!
I like your high sensitivity, and open talk about it. In Belgium we like you for the yoga video's on youtube. Indeed animals can fulfill your life. We complete understand you. All the best for 2022 and a lot of readers for your new yoga book. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
Hi Kassandra, I just wanted to give you a BIG thanks for your wonderful videos and teaching style. 2021 was also a tough year for me, but thanks to your channel it was much more manageable! Thanks again from the bottom of my heart
Glad to hear your chat. Glad you will continue YWK, and I love your app. I totally agree, work shouldn't take up too much of your life. I too almost totally lost it, all work and no play. I was only thinking and hoping to retire at 55. I only started to live after I started running and took up painting. Now I'm 59, still working, and I'm OK with that, I do Yoga :) and mixed media art. Added more stuff, yes, but feel more fulfilled.
Hey Cassy :) i love ur videos, its ny goto wheb its yogatime.
One request : Can U do a video on Kundalini syndrome\how to manage bad kundalini awakening ? That wud be very helpfyl :)
Well done, Kassandra! I'm very pleased for you that you have Java in your life! I appreciate your sincerity! Balance, moderation =key!
Best of health!
We should all pay attention to burnout
I know this video is from some time ago, but I am watching it today for inspiration about my business dreams. I want to start an online community for Neurodivergence & Meditation. I'm a certified mindfulness teacher and mental health therapist. I'm also a single mom, which has been the biggest challenge in my career journey of manifesting my passion into the world. I don't always know how to balance my parenting life with my career dreams, but it's something I am devoted to working out in a way that feels beneficial to my soul. Thank you for this beautiful inspiration!
I am a huge fan and follower. I use your videos to practice every day. A couple of years ago when I started I was truly beginner to yoga. I started with your 10 min videos and now after close to 2 years of practice atleast 5 times / week, I now use your minimal cues intermediate videos... I have truly come a long way and a huge Thanks ! to you... Totally Appreciate what you are doing...Please do make more minimal cues videos.. I love them :) 😃🙏🙏
Ah I feel you so much. 2021 was a crap year. I feel exactly how you described yourself. I could feel my self slipping lower and lower and finally hit rick bottom before I knew it. I felt alone until I started talking about it with others and realized wow everyone said 21 was the lowest of low for them too. I felt better knowing I'm not alone. I started focusing on myself and healing..shedding 21 and growing into 22. That's actually how I found you. I absolutely love your 30 day challenges. I started I January. And I look forward to continuing more. In happy you continued to do your videos. Its helped me alot. Cheers.
Really enjoyed this coffee chat vid, your yoga vid helped me to relax during the beginning of pandemic and still binge watch yr vid. Thank you for opening up cuz when we think about it, you're not alone going thru anxiety n the whole craziness of what's happening with the world situation coping with the pandemic plus individual personal life. Your book writing is really inspiring n glad to see you finally slowing down to relax & take a breather to give time for yourself. Best of luck Kassandra & give yourself a pat for what you've achieved.👏👏❤️
Very glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and making necessary changes to benefit your life and make you feel better! Like many other people in the comments I just wanted to add that your videos have been the best thing to happen to me when quarantine happened in 2020. I had just started doing yoga in person in 2019 to manage a horrible anxiety and panic disorder and having it pulled out from under me due to the pandemic was extremely frustrating. I think you and your channel are the best on UA-cam!! Thank you for powering through for us (and I'm sure also for yourself). Congrats on all your success and making it through 2021 - it sucked so hard. Hoping 2022 is your best year yet!
Yes! Please do a horse coffee chat. Would love to find out more about what type of riding you are doing. Also look up tellington touch (T-touch), it’s great for horse massage. Sally Swift’s book on centered riding is fantastic for any rider, especially green riders.
Thank you for opening up! It's nice to see the human side with the joys and struggles that all of us face in life. Animals are a blessing and I "get you" when you say it is very emotional to foster. That is one of the reasons I don't. Horses are on my tope 3 fav animals but don't know much about them. I only know that they give me so much peace and I feel loved when I'm around them. I'm happy for you and I definitely want the Chat with JAVA. I'm checking his IG account too. I do yoga with you most mornings and occasional at night. Thank you. Congratulations on your book also. Last but not least, your new look is beautiful! You deserve all of this!
Thank you for continuing to make yoga videos even though you were not feeling well. I started your yoga videos in 2021 and it has helped me tremendously for my physical and mental health. Your work matters a lot to me. Thanks♥️🙏
What a wonderful chat, very honest, reflective and personal. 2021 has turned into a horrible year for myself, upon reflection I gave my power to others who really didn't care. 2022 is going to be spent getting back to me, any tips from anyone on how to do that would be appreciated. Thank you for your classes and hard work. You are an amazing lady. X
Kassandra, I am so happy for you! I am glad this year is much better, newer, fresher, and just happier! Enjoy your horse, have fun and learn lots. We all need balance and it is so good that you now have something for you, prioritize you! You deserve it! You've done a lot for so many people on the UA-cam platform all around the world, including me. I cant wait to see you continue to grow in your life passions!
Really enjoyed this chat Kassandra. So sorry you experienced burnout but really pleased you are in such a good place now with your life and your lovely horse. Can't believe you do that life mapping every year - not sure of the correct terminology. I've never planned anything in my life. So great to hear you in such a happy place. You are a wonder Kassandra. You deserve all the success and personal happiness. Keep it up! Sue from Thirsk in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Wow brilliant. You gave your yoga empire your all and mastered it! Now you’re adding another path with heart. It’s beautiful how you came to that realization and transition. Mastering something really does take everything you have, but you did it!! In my humble opinion you should spoil the shit out of yourself. Congrats on the new baby, and you’re slaying it with the new hair girl. Thanks again ❤️
I totally understand your feelings about buying your horse. I think I bought mine around the same time as you. He's a foal and he will stay in Iceland for a few years more (I'm not Icelandic, I just lived and worked here for the last six months), but I think I get the feeling☺️ especially that it feels so surreal. I look so forward to taking him in. It fits best for me and him that he's staying in Iceland, but it's still hard😥Thank you for sharing all this with you. I wish you an amazing year🥰☺️
Hello Kassandra!
I am so glad to hear that you are doing better this year! We all have slumps but I am so happy and proud of you for persevering despite how hard it must have been.
2021 may not have been your greatest year, but, it was this year I was able to do yoga almost everyday and it was all due to how much I love your yin yoga videos! 2021 was the year I finally gave up drinking permanently and implemented yoga instead to process a lot of profound past trauma as well as cope with life stresses. Just for context, I am 31 years old now and started drinking and doing drugs when I was about 14-15. All this to say, that even in your darkest time you were able to help out someone like me enormously (and certainly plenty of others) by bringing me to the light. I hope the rest of your year is great as well.
Lots of love and thank you so much for your life-changing videos :)
Thank you for this video. I was going to pass over it but I'm glad I took the time to listen. Thank you, thank you. I had a crazy 2021 and work burnout led to my first ever panic attck in the fall. My world was rocked. Part of getting out of panic and then dealing with anxiety for the first time in my life has involved many different things: relaxation, cognitive behavior therapy and yoga. I'm picky about yoga teachers and had already tried Yin and didn't like it... But then I found you. And it clicked. Anyway, I'm doing better but not every day is better than the last. And today to listen to you explain what you went through means the world to me as it help to feel less alone, to know that sometimes even if you are doing everything right you may not feel right. Mostly coming from my online yoga teacher, it feels comoforting. I get it. Thanks.
Good on you for reaching the other side. Such an important message - finding purpose *outside* of work. Absolute key to balance! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Kassandra for sharing your honesty and openness about your life. You definitely know to take charge,find solutions, passion and joy in your life. Keep up this great work and stay healthy. Your new hairstyle looks amazing and I will certainly buy your new book.🙏🧡
Thank you for sharing and being so open. We all need an outlet. May it be from work or the everyday cycle of life.
Your work is amazing. You deserve to nourish yourself and find that joy so you can keep moving forward and upward. I loved the way you just lit up when you started to talk about Java. Now I'm inspired to dust off an old hobby from childhood.
So happy that you have found something just for you that brings you joy and happiness. You have worked so hard on your Yoga career and have given it your all ( to our benefit). You have earned and so richly deserve this. I am facing retirement this year, After 45 years of nursing I too am searching for something that is not career or "other" related. Something just for me. Take good care . I look forward to the new book which I have pre-ordered, All the best to you. Debbie
I never get to comment because I watch your videos on my TV! You are so awesome! My mom taught yoga but never taught me and I've developed hip and lower back issues over the years and recently had to quit working. Your yoga has saved me! I've been watching your videos for 4 months and I even do intermediate now. I saw the elemental yoga and the affirmations and just thought you were so cool. Now you have this book that goes with the moon cycles! Definitely going to buy! I hope 2022 continues to be great for you!!
Dear Kassandra
Thank you soooo much for telling us about your struggles and feelings. As I admire you (and many other inspiring people) I often believe it's only me who is struggling. I do yoga with you since 5 years at least and went to a lot of personal processes in this time. also because of you and your teaching style. It is absolutely perfect for me and I am happy to hear, that you will continue Yoga with Kassandra. Don't put pressure on yourself. You released so much content, there is plenty for everyone without you having to put out a new video every week. Enjoy live beside work. I want to say: there are some "old" flows and videos, which are alltime favourites for me. So no, they arent awkward 😀 it is great to see how you developed. but for me and my needs, you were a great yoga teacher from begin on. Take care!
Hi Kassandra 😊 I actually came to your channel to praise you for your amazing work, and ended up watching your coffee chat! I can't believe I could have been practicing yoga with you for 8 whole years. I only just found your channel about a month ago. I just love how well made your videos are, how well spoken you are, how gentle and kind you are in the way you teach and guide us. I'm sorry to hear about your difficult year , but thankful that you shared it. You are a wonderful example of self care and yet you can be honest about your struggle. I love that you are motivated by new challenges and you are now living the horse life. Animals are amazing. You absolutely deserve to enjoy the fruit of your hard work after offering something so valuable to millions of people: the opportunity to relax. Would love to learn more about Java, but don't have any questions because I don't even know the first thing about horses! Just laughed when you used the word equation because I saw a pun there! Thanks for everything you've done and continue to do.
Thank you for sharing your journey. You have given me lots to think about for my own path. Good lessons here. Thanks for all you do and especially for all you ARE!
I love you Cassandra I think you're awesome and I'm glad to hear you are doing well and are happy. I do your 10 minute yoga every morning. It's like medicine for me. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your journey with us. I am a massage therapist and have experienced burnout a few times during my 20 plus years and somehow, like you and I’m sure many others, had to replenish myself. It’s not selfish and I am glad that you found what you needed 😊🐴
Very relatable!! 2021 was also a really bad year, maybe my worst year in my life. Especially when the lockdowns came, your yoga helped me to continue my day and ward off the anxiety and panic attacks. Been a follower of your channel ever since then. Thank you so much and also take care of yourself!! :)
You are a great yoga teacher Kassandra! I simply love the way you treat the practice itself each time in very calming and holistic view while giving me a very clear explanation about how a pose should happen! I am wishing you an exciting way and happy you are still influence rhe physical and mental life of so many people. Happy New "channel year" Thank you 🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻
