    You are the easiest yoga channel to watch because you have such a calming energy and are so knowledgeable. I started yoga for mental health not realizing what an impact it would have on me. Thank you for your videos and your life changing content. Thank you for being a part of my journey

    Everyday, I ask myself what part of my body needs a release and then I find one of your yoga routines to fit my needs. I rarely do yoga with any other youtube channel. You’re just great at what you do

    Kassandra- You have changed my life! I've been suffering from Fibromyalgia for 30 years and had very little range of motion and lots of upper body aches. Practicing your classes almost daily since COVID started have truly changed how my body works! Thank you!

    I loved this flow for my sore shoulders. Really felt the stretch. Now I know this is an old video but the intense drums on the background was making me anxious than relax so I really put in the effort to just focus on the movements and your voice.

I always appreciate new variations of traditional poses. Even as an experienced yoga practitioner, simple can reveal something new and helpful. Thank you, Kassandra! Namaste

It really helps to centre, calm, ground, connect with Self/Source and solidify the practice. Thank you Kassandra for all the classes you've done and continue to do. Have a wonderful day. Namaste.

    Probably the best of Kassandra's Neck & Shoulder focused routines.This one seemed to be long enough (vs. the other 5/10 minute versions she also provides) to really give you a thorough stretch while being short enough to easily fit into your morning routine. As someone dealing with a lot of neck and should tension and pain, this will likely become an every day, or at least every other day, practice.
