Stretch and talk should be a series. ^^ I for some reason found the convo when stretching to be a lot more easy to engage in than other workouts.
theFitty hmm good idea
would you do a meditation video, cassey?
Agreed .. should be a series
muoian do you personally do yoga or meditate??
Yes I agree too!
I actually cried while doing this video. I'm going through a really tough time right now, but these are words I needed to hear. Thank you Cassey!
i know this comment is 5 years old but i hope you're at a better place now, emotionally physically and spiritually❤🙌🏼
I fell over at leas four times during this but I've accepted it and I'll do better next time
"remember that no one is perfect but they can be as good as they can be in your life"
I needed to hear that 💕

Nadya Ahmed omg I love this
That's what I first thought until I watched some hardcore gymnastics lmao
Same😂👌🏼
me too !!! ik youre out there rulin it right now
Love this one!!!
Cassey, I was wondering if you could cover your post workout hair and skincare routine -- I sweat so much during your workouts and always wonder what is the best way to take care of my hair and skin -- especially because yours always looks SO good during the workout! I would love any tips you have
It's a different struggle, specially in summers.
Thank you so much for this video
I didn't realize how much I needed this, physically and mentally
Edit: Omg i just found an old comment of mine from a year and a half ago that basically said the same thing lol
😆
Honestly,my body is feeling a lot better rn after those stretches and talks!! I feel refreshed!
I’ve honestly always had bad mental health, and was always as well a big skeptic of this type of positive thinking, but lately I’ve been trying to stretch everyday and been following your videos. I’m actually grateful of your mindset as it’s actually changed mine. Thank you Cassie
Congratulations on your engagement!!!! 💞💖💞💗💖💞💖💞 I've been following you since 2011 and have been so proud of how far you've come!!! You're like a big sister to me!!! :'))))))
3 yrs and this video is still easily my favourite and go to. It is just so perfect Cassey ,Thankyou so much for this absolute gem!
Great video ! I slept in an awkward position last night, I woke up sore and tense. Thank you!

Thank you cassy! This is vey nice...I LOVE IT!! Help me a lot, and this is perfect before I getting in to bed. I'm gonna do this every day before i sleep
Thank you for this. Today I was just feel super depressed and something sad happened, so this made me feel a bit better and stronger. Please do more of these!
Don't do this wearing socks! I repeat don't do this with socks!!!
Lisa Simpson 🤣🤣wuuweee shame
I had to take my socks off after a few minutes too 😂 wish I saw your comment sooner!
This was honestly unreal. It honestly changed my mood completely and I’m so grateful for finding this gem. It was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you Cassie ❤️❤️
I love all your work outs Cassey, I love your positive chats during the workouts. Especially during this stretch! Thank you
Cassie, please do more of these! I was feeling really down and this video did wonders for me. I feel so good, refreshed and ready to get back at what I was doing. University exams are killing me rn, i had zero motivation and last minute cramming is not the best for one's mental health, but this really helped me. Thank you!
Hi Cassey! This video helped me this morning physically and mentally. Keep up your awesome work and have a nice day👍👊😁❤!
beginner's calendar, day 9, part 1/3: check!
I'm on day 9 now!!
Her new beginners calendar: day 13, 2/2, check! :)
your chat is so inspiring.. i love the topic because i like to think negative about myself. But your chat (and your stretches) make me open my perspective and now i can become more happier and accept myself. thankyou so much cassey.
Cassy thanks for sharing your tips for living life positively. Combining the stretching and a moment to reflect created a zen-like vibe for me and it felt wonderful!
This feels like heaven, my favourite day of the week
Omg Cassey your positivity is just like OMG girl I loved you mood and btw I love your sport bras and your nails look good :)
Thank you!!
Just what I needed today! Thank you for your positivity and fantastic stretches.
I needed this video so much. Thank you, Cassey. You are a blessing to the world.
Beautiful. Unfortunately I was sick from Christmas Eve, through Christmas and the day after with the common cold. I'm just starting to feel a bit better so I decided to try this out for today and tomorrow I'll get back into my normal routine. This felt so nice. Thank you😊💕
I loved the video and the combination with the positive affirmations was great!
This is so therapeutic -- just centering your outlook and thought for the day no matter what has happened.
Cassey, Thank you so much for your supporting words. It really helped me a lot.
Hello Cassey, I'm determined to get back into putting more effort on my body this 2019 and I just found myself a stretching routine I'd be doing for the first quarter of the year. Thank you for this video!
I feel like I manifested this video😂😆 It was EXACTLY what I needed today.
My girlfriend recommended your blog to me cause I was trying to start working out again and this was the first video I watched and this was exactly what I needed to hear. I got out of a 5-year relationship earlier this year and am currently in another country for work but I completely agree you are the only person that has control over your own happiness. I was so unhappy in my relationship and my life at that moment, I tried communicating to my partner the reasons why I was unhappy, that I wanted us to do more than just watch Netflix at home (among other reasons) but he was not listening to me. So I ended it and have been slowly rediscovering myself again and finding activities that bring me joy. I tell myself similar things to stay positive but hearing them in this video oddly reaffirmed to me that I am making the right moves and decisions even if it scares me or I doubt myself. I am not perfect but am on the long road to becoming the best version of me I can be. So thank you.
LOVE all the videos where we exercise/stretch and you give us tips, it's super helpful to get your mind off a hard move and get you thinking about how you can better yourself :)
It doesn’t matter when I watch this video..it always speaks to me..thank you Cassie..

I literally can't wait for streach days lol❤️ I feel so relieved after!
I loved this, and normally I'm very bad at stretching and give up quickly. I'm so thankful that I was able to do these stretches and be reminded about the steadiness of life among the chaos. Thank you so much Cassey for being so dedicated to your following and making sure you share your wisdom with everyone around you. One day I hope I can develop your confidence.
cassey i feel like i can learn so much from you. youre so positiv.
i love the way you think. thank you
OMG I just finished my run and I needed this!!! XO XO
This video was honestly so calming and refreshing!!
(Not to ruin the mood but I legit lost it when she said happy baby to happy adult😭😂)
Still, thank you so much Cassey for being such an inspiration ❤️
I just came back after not working out for a year and I'm glad I had time to follow your videos again and honestly this video was such a great come back and you haven't changed a bit Cassey. I love you, I miss you, and I'm pumped to be back.
Cassey, this video moved me to tears. You are such a beautiful mix of light and strength. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration
Hey Casey plz tell me how you tackle that laziness out
that happy baby really made me happy i was straight up giggling forever a favourite
These chatty workout series is so great! They really help and I´m doing at least one of them ones a day. This stretching video is by far one of my favorites now!
I so appreciate what you do for us all Cassy! Bless you and your practical wisdom !Aloha!
Omg! I love stretching soo much! Thank you for this video, Cassey, and I love you 💕
Teodora Lu glad U enjoyed this!

Awesome the combination of life coach/ stretching. Much love and thanks for shearing your knowledges❤
Your wonderful advice are so empowering and brings so much positivity. Thank you very much! ❤️
Since school started I've been really needing this! Been so stressed out and negative lately and this video helped a lot! Thanks Cassey ♥️
Ka Blia same here
Ka Blia so glad this helped!!!
Wow that was so relaxing and amazing. You ever thought of doing more of these but with different and more positions depending on how flexible you are?
I've been through so much trauma in my life and I really liked what you said about positivity and even about making thank you notes. I really agree with you. I feel like instead of people being hostile and negative they can turn whatever trauma or whatever they went through around and be kind and spread love and peace.
Thank you for the pep talk today and the positive message's. We all really needed that!!
Such on time agaiinnn!! You are awesome:):)
I cant believe this series is ending😭😭😭😭
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I CAN!! I love your attitude and how you interpret positivity in everything you post
Thank you for the reminders, Cassey. After a while, we forget these messages. Yours came at a good time for me.
April 30th ✅🌸 and we're done with April! 🥳
Happy baby to happy adult

This is AWESOME! Creating a positive mindset while doing stretches is a 2 in 1 deal. I'm excited to be able to share this with all of my friends next week so we may continue to hold onto a positive mindset as well as a healthy stretch in our life.
I’ve been a Popster for years and I’ve never seen this video until now, but I can honestly say it couldn’t have come at a better time. My anxiety and depression have been at its highest lately and in the middle of the video I nearly broke down and cried...thank you Cassey. I feel so much more relaxed and ultimately so powerful after this. ❤️
Me on a normal day: Let's try this out how bad could it be?
Me on my period: Emmm should I try it? (Touches the floor with hands feels the regret) never mind I'm gonna watch her do it
I'm finally loosing weight. I have lost 5bls and kept it. Because I do my own workouts. I do basic stuff. I feel like I found my own peace. It just feels so good inside. Ty for making yoga videos. I love u and love ur flow. Bye bye. Ty. Oh yeah I stopped drinking soda.
OMG, SO MUCH of what you said in this video resonated with me. I'm going through a breakup and what you said about not being the victim, people only being there for awhile, really hit home. THANK YOU, Cassie!
I love your exercise as well as your advice. Thank you Cassey ..stay blessed
"I call this the happy adult" 😂😂😂
me throughout the whole video : how am i even doing this???? 😱😱😱
Just found this video, I love you setting, how you hold the stretches for a full minute and fill my mind with positivity. Great way to start the day thank you.
You're the best, Cassey! Thanks for being so inspirational!
Do more stretches video!!! How I like to feel better is exercising and watch favorite RUclips videos that make me laugh. I am a very negative person but trying to be more positive so thanks Cassey for this video I will try these tips out and please do more similar type videos. Thanks and Love you
notoufu yea I was thinking of maybe even doing an entire stretching program!
blogilates yes!!!!!!!!! Please do that
Hey Cassey can u make a video about how to do the middle splits?
Hands down one of my favorite videos ever!! Felt so good after and loved all the advice. You're the best Cassey!!!!
Love this workout makes me feel so good everytime. Thank you Cassie

Thank you so much, Cassey 😍 I'm so glad I downloaded your November workout calendar. This positivity is exactly what I need to start the week. God bless 🙏

Videos like this one are so calming ! Thank you Cassey
Update: I have litterally done this stretching video 5x a week since you have posted it. LOVE IT. Please never take this down and make more stretching videos! Perfect timing for this video. I've really been wanting to work on my flexibility. And I've also been dealing with some mental health issues. This video was super helpful in both areas! Thank you so much. I'm going to add this into my daily routine!

I'm really struggling with the 3rd exercise because I can't put my foot on my thigh. Actually I can but it just hurts so much. What am I doing wrong?

ooh yeah no worries just do that part alone for 15 second intervals everyday for 5min, then increase ... u shud start too feel it get easier
Love your channel! I’ve been watching a lot of different channels trying to find the best one for me to start my workout journey and yours is definitely the best! You’re very motivating. Thank you so much
Really needed this one today. Maybe post a couple more positive thinking/stretch videos during this month’s quarantine. I think it could really help a lot of people ❤️

There's something else that being flexible is good for, but I digress. 😄
You are awesome, always such a vibrant energy. I've been watching this for over a year and its great each time.
