    At the end, I found myself thinking about how our society glorifies control. Control is all about having your hands on something, hence being “hands on” is a quality. Felt nice to decompress and let go, letting my hands rest! Thanks!

    Kassandra, I found you 3 months ago after not praying yoga for 10 plus years. It’s a practice that I found at age 14 and lost. The last 3 months practicing with you have reawakened my long lost love for yoga and you have been the absolute perfect teacher to reunite me with yoga!! It was like riding a bike and now I’m almost back to where I was at my peak!! Thank you for everything you do ❤❤

      If your wrists hurt, try using something like stand-off holds for doing pushups, and use them doing yoga, it has made a world of difference on my wrists for positions like downward dog.

    This was challenging for me with balance. I had brain surgery 7 years ago, and it has affected my balance. But I was surprised my balance wasn't as good on some poses that I'm usually good with balance but all is good. Part of the process and the class was an excellent challenge. My word for the day is "Is". Kind of an extension on "This", which is a word I've often used before. "Is" means to me, whatever "is", "is". And I want to accept, welcome and embrace whatever "is". Because "is" is part of Life, so a gift.

    Love how you hit all the spots in this short full body practice. Grateful to find your wrist free yoga videos. I’m recovering from carpal tunnel surgery and it is uncomfortable to put full weight into my hand. This class makes me feel like I’m not missing out due to this limitation. Love how you guided the adjustments in warrior 2. Simple and effective reminder to keep the chest and shoulders open. Also, your background scenery is gorgeous and it’s monochromatic nature really helps to put focus on you in the foreground. Those blue leggings pop. Very nice experience overall. 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻
