Great wrist free practise while my thumb joint replacement heals.
Hello James. Another wonderful yoga session, hands and wrist free. Thank you so much for your generosity and sharing this practice. X
You're so welcome! Happy you enjoyed it.
"Even if you fall out, give yourself a chance to come back in" really is excellent advice both in yoga and in life, thank you :)
This option worked perfectly for not being able to put weight on my elbow. And I was able to work in a few vinyasas throughout, which felt great. thank you!
Great to hear, thank you for sharing!
I have been recovering from wrist surgery and missing yoga so much ! this was fantastic, thank you !
So glad to hear Sereana, may you have a smooth recovery.
What a great practise! I love your combination of Yoga and Tai Chi moves... Thank you so much for this video!🙏
My pleasure Monica💜
Thank you for another wrist-sensitive practice! Much appreciated. Anyone considering passing this flow by thinking it would be too easy without downward dogs should think again. It was challenging! I plan to do this session over again in hopes of improving my balance which currently stinks!
That's fab to hear! thank you :)
I did this class again today and I can already feel a difference in a week. This is a refreshingly different class taught by a refreshingly different instructor. Thank you James!
Ah thanks Lou! That's so lovely to hear :)
Excellent practice. It was great because I didn’t have to use my arthritic hands and wrists. More of these please. Thanks so much.
Oh that's fab to hear this was helpful to you Eleanor. Thank you!
Thank you James for a fun, relaxing but powerful wrist free class. I love your easy going friendly voice and how you describe the poses. Yes please to more wrist free classes for all of us yogis with injuries. Namaste x
Hey Kerry, thanks for your feedback it enables me to refine and improve what I’m offering and tailor it more to the people watching so it’s like gold to me. Thank you! :)
I love the combination of the hard work and the gentle attitude. And the sequencing is brilliant!
Thanks Peter for your comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Just what the doctor ordered. I have been dealing with shoulder tendonitis for months and missing yoga like you wouldn't believe. I feel like you've given me a sense of inner peace I haven't felt in ages. What a great gift, thank you, James !! xxx
Hi Sandra, that's really made my day! So pleased this practice was helpful to you. New videos each week :)
This practice is so far my favourite one! Feels like I'm falling in love with yoga because of you, James 🧡
Oh wow, thanks Anna. I'm happy how much you are enjoying Yoga more and more!
Thank you dear James again for this amazing opportunity to work out with arm free. That’s exactly what I was looking for with my broken elbow. The best arm free practice on UA-cam. I feel great! Have a blessed day ❤❤❤❤
You're so welcome Maya! So glad it was helpful for you.
After my metacarpal injury in both hands after a nasty fall, I felt miserable the whole week unable to practice yoga. Today, I came across your video for yoga flow for wrist injury and I am so grateful! This practice was just what I needed and I will return to this video for the next 4 weeks till I heal completely. You have a fan in me!
I broke my wrist and felt really bad and sad especially because I thought I will no longer be able to practice yoga with the same effect as I used to. I am so grateful for your classes that not only allow but also motivate me to deepen my daily practice even with a cast on my forearm ... and I just feel great afterwards. You also awakened my curiosity about tai chi and qi gong; how come I never looked more into that? :) THANK YOU endlessly !
Welcome Lucia, So grateful to have you here supporting your body as you recover form your injury. I love that I have peaked your interest in Tai Chi and Qigong, all such powerful practices. I hope you find what you need here😊
James, you are awesome. I love your corrections. Lifting the pubic bone really brings strength and stability to my postures. Helps with lower back too. Thank you for that gift. I have tennis elbow from too many chattarrangas. These hands free practices are dynamite. More please!
Hey Rebecca, oh that's so great to hear! Yep those cues really helped with my lower back issues over the years. Tennis elbow isn't fun, i had it once too. What worked for me was a good period of rest, and then slowly coming back to practice but really paying attention to my shoulder alignment and back muscles in poses like plank and caturanga. RSI wrist injuries in yoga often come from back/shoulder position and stability.
I just discovered you yesterday and I'm absolutely thrilled - thanks, James! I'm having a tough time right now (cancer treatment and a lot of pain throughout my body). Yoga is like an oasis for me. When I do yoga, I can suddenly move again, the pain regulates... It's almost magical! - But because of CFS and various hand surgeries, I was no longer able to take part in normal yoga classes. I'm so glad I found you! Thanks for these fantastic, fun and challenging flows! Just great! Kind regards from Berlin to London! Mary
Thank you Marie, I'm so grateful you found this space. I hope it continues to support you during this time. All the best with your treatment and recovery. Be gentle with yourself and do what you can with no pressure or expectation! 💜
I particularly enjoyed the dragon sequences. Thank you!
It has been so long since I have done this video that I didn't remember doing it, haha. I definitely enjoyed the challenge today!
Welcome back Kelly, glad you gave it another go, and are enjoying the challenge!
This practice is a blessing. I have a terrible shoulder injury but want to continue with my practice.... this was perfect. It was gentle yet powerful and deep. Thank you!
Thanks Malena for taking the time to comment - it's great that this practice was helpful for you! Some of the movements are quite stealthy - especially the dragon - you don't realise how hard you're working at first! :)
Love, love, love this no hands practice. Thank you James! You have such a calm and encouraging presence.
Hey Michelle - that makes me so happy to hear! Really glad you enjoyed your practice. More of these videos coming soon - I'm just improving my tech a bit! :)
Thank YOU!! I have a broken wrist, in a plaster cast and have been missing my daily practice. This class was challenging and encouraged me to move my body mindfully. Even with my injury, I feel complete today, because of your thoughtful guidance ❤❤
Hey Denise - that's such a lovely comment thankyou! Hope you heal well and quickly!
I cannot stress how good these are. I love them. Thank you ♡ you guide us really well and descriptive, and the occasional joke is much appreciated! Namaste
Thank you so much for your feedback Sarah ☺️
Beautiful flow thanks James. Challenging and calming without sacrificing my wrists. Thank you.
That's great to hear Sarah. I'm posting a new, shorter wrist free flow this weekend. look out for it! :)
Thank you so much for this practice. I have a broken wrist and these hands free practices are so appreciated 🙏
It my pleasure to be able to offer these practices. I wish you a smooth recovery Ann!
thank you James for a great class! You're a master
You're very welcome!
exactly what i needed for my elbow injury! thank you
This practice really made me feel pretty good. I totally loved the mix up with non-yoga moves and wouldn't mind to see more of this.
Definitely loved the dragon move! Would be amazing to see more of that :) Beautiful practice!
Loved this flow! I have a pectoral injury and this was perfect...an invigorating flow despite no arms. Namaste!
That's great to hear Jenniifer - thankyou! :)
This practice was really amazing. I was able to do floating Half moon! Your meditation sequence at the end was so healing.Thank you! Sending much gratitude to you.
You're so welcome, thank you for sharing. I'm so grateful to hear how much it resonated for you. Well done on your efforts!
I’m so happy I discovered your channel!! I have a wrist and shoulder injury and stopped practicing yoga.
I was so excited to find so many practices options in your channel!
Thank you so much ❤
And you are amazing and gentle and I loved any second of the flow 🙏🏻
So grateful you found this space, so that you can continue to practice even with an injury. I hope you have a smooth recovery!
Thank a lot for helping me with my healing. ❤❤❤I didn’t think I can work out with a broken elbow but your practice was amazing and I was able to go th the end. I feel great,
Amazing to here Maya, well done for giving it a go!
Thanks for another enjoyable flow 😊
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Love. Love. Love
Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Ah, that was a fantastic class! Thank you so much for all your time, energy and dedication. 🙂
Thank you for the acknowledgement Martin, it's my absolute pleasure!
Love love love the "Thai chi or energy" moving with the arms mid video. Makes you feel so content, and helps with the pain. Love and light
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much
As always, didn’t disappoint. Thank u!
Glad you enjoyed it Helen! Thank you
amazing practice, as well as the little guided savasana! caught a little tear of happiness leaving my eyes at the end, thank you so much
It's my pleasure, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
have been suffering with tennis elbow for a few weeks now and doing some hands free practise, which I was pleased to find as I love my yoga! Just completed your practise and loved the combo between effort and ease. This has the strength training I love and the smooth yoga moves with breath that I also love. Thanks James.....I shall be looking for more from you!
Hey Valerie, That's so great to hear! New videos coming each week :)
This is the first video of yours I have watched and I am a convert already.. recently hurt my wrist and still wanted to keep up my home yoga practice, and pretty much every video oh hands free yoga I have found has either been: a. not truly hands free, or b. gentle stretches and (whilst good) not active and warming. So I just want to say.. thank you very much
Hi Rachel - your comment really made me smile! I'm so pleased you enjoyed this practice. I had the same problem finding energising/heating hands free flows, so I'm really glad this was of help to you! More coming soon :)
this is the longest Yoga flow I've done. It didn't feel long. Thank you for a lovely time.
Great job! You are most welcome ☀️ 🌿
As always, such a good flow, adds immensely to my wellbeing!❤ Thanks a lot, I really appreciate!
You're so welcome Monica.
Thank you for this creative yet powerful hands-free flow! Experiencing poses like figure four and twists without the use of the arms was far more challenging than I expected and really activated my core. I will definitely return to this flow while my wrist heals. Namaste :)
Hi Lily, thanks so much for your comments. Im really pleased this practice worked for you. Good look with the healing process! :)
thank you for this! would love some more wrist-free core centered practices !
Best class out there for wrist injury
This is a beautiful flow
Thank you Melanie 💜
Such a wonderful experience practicing hands free. My neck and shoulders are thrilled. I love the position dragon. Please continue to share your experience and light.
Thank you! I will of course, I love being able to share these practices, that I know support so many people. Thanks for being here with me.
@@MoveWithJames Keep being kick awesome!
James I am grateful for this, I’ve been searching for something to help me work up a sweat while my right hand recovers from carpal tunnel surgery 🙏I loved how this was hands free yet calming and challenging! Thank you 🙏
You're most welcome Farrah, all the best with the recovery!
@@MoveWithJames thank you James 👌🙏
They are great the mouvements you propose us and the accompanying them calming vois.thank you James.
Thank you so much, I'm really pleased you enjoyed this :)
Thank you so much for this! I have a wrist injury that I've been struggling with for over a year and simply cannot put any weight on my hand. I also loved the tai chi elements, would love to learn more of those!
Thank you Willow, I'm grateful you found this video beneficial💜
This really helped with my sore arm. Please make more. Love your calm nature
Thank you SO much James. Such interesting moves. LOVE it
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Absolutely love this flow! My wrist hurts every now and then so this was perfect! I will be definitely coming back for more! 🙏🙏🙏
Ah thanks so much! More flows coming this weekend :)
@@MoveWithJames yay!! Can’t wait!!
Loved this practice 🥰
Gentle but strong, felt as if I were moving in some trance. Shavasna at the end took me to a different dimension. Thank you, James ❤🙏❤
Something negative can also bring a positive. For me, burning my left hand send me on a quest for hands free yoga. And so I found your channel and this flow. Thank you!
I would love to have more hands free yoga flows, especially short morning practices. Namaste
That's so lovely to hear. Thanks Sara. A new wrist free video is coming today!
Lovely, again!! thank you so much, you are still taking care of my wrists. Blessings
Thank you for a lovely class, just brilliant! My thumb is recovering from a fracture and your classes have been amazing and made me feel so much better. I can't say thankyou enough! x
Wonderful Jill, so happy to hear these classes have been helping you!
I made it through the entire practice!!! lol I know I have said this before, but the sound of our voice is so calming and relaxing. I'm so happy to have found your practices!! Would you ever create a 15-20 minute bedtime guided meditation? Thanks for reading!! :):) oxx
You are such a great yoga instructor!
Thank you so much Tara!
thanks you very much for this flow! I really enjoyed this yoga tai chi fusion! please more!!
Hey Tim - you're super welcome. Recording more this week! :)
This was a really lovely flow, really enjoyed it! Thank you for doing so many hands free classes, can't wait for the next one! :) Rebecca xx
You're so welcome Rebecca, working on some more, so hopefully in the new year, I have more fresh videos to share with you all here in the community! Otherwise you can always head over to my Patreon page, where I have more Wrist Free classes available 💜 www.patreon.com/movewithjamesrafael
Thank you. Blessings come flying...
You are so welcome!
I randomly found your channel and I'm enjoying this class ... I'm very grateful for your sequence, you have a new follower Sir 🙏💜 vibes and respect from Italy 🌱🌿🌸🌞
Beautiful class👏 very relaxing flow😊 pls do more 1hr wrist free challenging classes ..
Thanks for the feedback Mercy - and great suggestion, I'll do more of these wrist free flows. So many people seem to need them right now!
Hi James, my fiancé and I just did this one- it was amazing! Really helped my man's tight hockey hips. Thank you for sharing 😀 much ♥️ from your Canadian fanclub
Glad it helped you both! Thank you for practicing here with me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wrist free yoga playlist! I've been dealing with De Quervain's tenosynovitis since the birth of my daughter 7 months ago, and I have desperately missed my yoga practice and the mind-body connection while adjusting to new mom life. This has brought me so much peace and joy since finding your videos!
Aww thank you for sharing Brittany, so grateful this practice is supporting you at this time. May you be gentle with yourself as you move into this new phase as a mother.
Thank you James for this truly beautiful practice that incorporated so many worthwhile variations and moves that were both challenging, interesting, calming and healing. I loved it, felt your special presence through your gentle, encouraging voice and look forward to repeating it and others that you do.
Thanks so much Jackie for your beautiful comment! I so appreciate it. More videos coming soon!
THanks again, awesome practice:)!
I loved every minute of this - as others have said, you really understand hands-free and your videos really make me work, which is what I want. Not endless forward folds like so many others.
Oh thanks so much Jacqueline! I really appreciate your feedback. A new wrist free flow is coming out today!
Thank you! I'm so glad you truly understand wrist free, so many others labeled as such are disappointing. I have an injured elbow, but I just can't give up my yoga practice.
Hey there! Oh I'm so pleased to hear that, yeah it always frustrated me too where you see wrist-friendly flows and they all involved downward dog! Happy to help offer a true hands free practice, and glad you enjoyed it :)
Gorgeous class. Love the inclusions from other practices of tai chi and martial arts. Really beautiful to be able to move so nicely without using my poor troubled wrists. Thank you for your soothing voice and humour too.
Hey there! That's great to hear - I love those movements from tai chi too, they're so intelligent and healing
WEEEEEEE!!! Feeling so giddy and light after this practice thank you!!!!!! ✨
You're so welcome!
Great class. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome!
What a lovely class, thank you! I also loved the dragon move and bringing elements of tai chi in. You have a calm and ease that are very soothing.
Hi Kaira, oh thanks so much! I really appreciate that :)
I'm so glad I clicked on your video, probably the best hands-free practice in UA-cam🙏 The variations, your calming voice and the references at tai chi and prana made it even more fulfilling! Kudos😊
I couldn’t agree more!!
Wow, thank you! Sorry it took me so long to reply! Hopefully you've seen all the new wrist free videos now up! But also hopefully if you had any injury its gotten better! Much love :)
I just love the Tai Chi elements and truly enjoyed this routine a lot! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Gianna!
Brilliant James. Do yoga practice every day. Then fell down a mountain and broke my wrist. No downward dog from then! Then I found you and the other wrist free warriors. Your teaching
style is excellent. I haven’t missed a day since I found yoga with James. A massive thank you.
Incredible to hear that you are here and still practicing. I hope the wrist is recovering and your body is thankful for the ongoing movement!
Will go back to this one often
Such a well rounded practice!!
So happy you found it so supportive for you. Thanks Laura!
Thank you James 🙏 this was a great hands free practice for me with three healing broken fingers and a wrist with badly damaged ligaments 😭 I’ve been missing my power yoga.. and now I can build my strength back up with this very nicely sequenced practice. You are a star ⭐️
Thank you so much for this class! I love your hands free/wrist free classes because of how you make most of the asanas active instead of passive. Really works with flexibility control and helps to strengthen. I hope you do more but I love them so much! Amazing for active recovery days and for my weakened wrists right now!
Yay! Thanks Sessy, so happy to hear this. I'll recorded a short wrist mobility and strengthening practice soon. It'll be very gentle, nothing that will tax the wrists too much but a way to keep things moving to help promote healing.
Once again, very enjoyable thank you. I like your gentle, playful manner, full of knowledge. Namaste
Thank you Sylvianne! :)
So lovely! I love the incorporation of Qi gong. This practice is strong yet relaxing.
Thanks so much Cindy, I'm really happy you like the sneaky bit of Qigong woven in! :)
Thank you lovely class. I so enjoyed your cueing and the time given to explore and fill it. Look forward to more classes. Dar
Thank you Dar for the beautiful feedback, I'm happy you enjoyed the class!
Love how you explain the poses in detail to help prevent injury. The Savasana was the best ever--the guided meditation really made me completely relax! Thank you so much for doing this video! Wonderful service to humanity!
Such kind words Kathy, thank you so much 💜
you are wonderful, thank you very much
Thanks Musa! Namaste back to you from London :)
Thank you! 😊🙏❤️🇨🇦
You're welcome Melanie ☺️
Loved this class - perfect for building strength in my hips and lazy glutes, while protecting my wrists which are both injured! Thank you x
Hey Carrie - haha yes I think we all have lazy glutes - me included! My lower back loves to take over instead lol. More videos coming soon!
happy to discover you
Thanks meriç! :)
I’m so glad I found you. I hurt my wrists and was looking for a wrist-free class. I got that and so much more. Thank you for your attentiveness to embodiment and, at the end, the subtle energy centers. Much gratitude! I look forward to following you.
Hey Jana - fab to hear from you, I'm really glad you liked the video. More coming soon! :)
Thank you. This is perfect. I injured my arm a few months ago and not fully healed yet.
You're so welcome Anne, and sorry to hear about your arm! Fingers crossed it'll get back there to 100% soon ☺️
Really enjoying the hands free flows while I recovery from my hand and elbow surgery, thank you so much! Namaste
Thank you Stacy 🙏🏻 💜
I have a frozen shoulder and really tight hips and posterior chain. Thank you for making no hands videos. I added them to my “no hands” playlist for soon/later. If you make more I will definitely check them out as it’s quite possible I’ll be here with this shoulder for some time. Subbing to see what’s more to come
Thanks so much for subbing! I really appreciate that. I post new videos every Saturday, usually one new wrist free class a week :)
Thank you again James! Another great class. If possible would be great to do some wrist free flows that involve doing some shoulder strength on forearms. Look forward to more of your videos
Thanks Olivia! Ooo I love forearm poses. Do forearm plank and dolphin pose feel ok for your wrists? If so I’ll plan a video with them in. I’m a big fan of forearm side planks too!
Yes that would be perfect! As still want to maintain shoulder strength while resting wrists :)
What a soothing voice you are giftet with.
Thanks so much Kristian what a lovely comment! 💓
Lovely relaxing but challenging flow, thanks so much, James :) I really let my imagination go wild with the very last part hahah 💙
Hey Kate! Ahh thanks so much that's so lovely to hear :)
Love dragon. Thank you a great practice
Amazing ❤️🙏🏻hope to see more of such flows🔥
Thanks!!!!! In this period of time you are my life jacket.
Thanks Karen 🙏🏻🌿
Thanks so much James, great teaching and hands free - so very welcome for people with De Quervains - you rock
My pleasure Marisa - thank you! 🙏🏻 🌿
