i feel like you saved me. I broke my arm last week and no swimming, no yoga for weeks! I am 76 and depend on fitness to feel well and capable so I was pretty depressed. I appreciated that everything you said during the session was useful, no fluff. I have been practicing yoga for decades and this session really impressed me. i especially liked that you included a balance posture that surprised me, but doing it gave me confidence. it would be nice if you came up with some hands free variations. i have a lot of time to kill. many thanks,
Oh my goodness. I've become much more interested in yoga over the past 8-10 months and am enjoying it so much. A few weeks ago I broke my finger and had to have emergency surgery on it and am still recovering. I googled a hands-free yoga practice and found your video. THANK YOU!! You brought back the feeling I've been missing over the past few weeks. It was so very helpful and you are a great instructor!
Thank you SO much for this. I am recovering from a second degree burn on my right palm and haven't done yoga in a month due to fear of injuring it further. I am so thankful to find some hands free yoga videos. You rock!!
Thank you SO much, Brett! I broke my elbow and wrist and had surgery to put screws and plates in my elbow last week. I used to do yoga a few years ago and got away from it when I started Tabata daily. I found your video and just tried it and I thought it was perfect for me! It was like coming home and I can't wait to do it again tomorrow. Thank you, thank you! I believe that once I'm healed I'll bring back yoga practice in addition to my 4 minute Tabata.
Hi Brett! This is my first class with you & it definitely won't be my last. I have a hairline fracture and sprain in my left wrist from playing volleyball. I've been practicing yoga 5 days per week for the past 2 & 1/2 years, so I didn't want to give up my practice for this injury! Thank you for so very much - This video was super helpful!
thank you so very much for the hope and support you have provided-I broke or fractured my wrist yesterday, won,t know for sure until the next x-ray-this is an enormous help
Thank you so much for this fantastic video designed for injuries. I had a nasty fall 2 days ago and landed on my left wrist. I am a Zumba instructor, love to walk, go to the gym and practice my morning yoga in the quiet. Many of my passions have had to be practised low key so I was ecstatic to find your video, accommodating my injury. Thankfully I didn't fracture it but do have terrible bone bruising and a nasty sprain. You are wonderful to follow and give clear and easy to understand instruction. Thankyou x
Broke a pinkie! This was just what I needed on a Saturday morning. It was insightful to see how much I use my arms for twists/alignment where I should be focusing on legs/core.
Thank you. I am working on an oil rig in the Saudi desert. 16 hours a day, every day for over 10 weeks straight now. I have a scaphoid fracture in my left wrist but, by necessity, must continue to pound on my body every day. I needed to find a mindful place and to give the rest of me some attentive care today and my body appreciates that I paused to follow your video. Namaste!
So happy I can do a yoga practice without having to deal with the thumb joint arthritis that I have. When I have the surgery, this will be a go to practice for me. Ty!
thank you very much. third day after an accident, which broke my left arm twice, at the wrist and the ellbow. I was afraid I would have to miss that Yoga feeling for the next six weeks, which your sequence has brought back to me and is going to accompany me through the process. thanks. best wishes and namasté.
I broke my right wrist and was wearing a cast for 4 weeks. They removed the cast three weeks ago and I'm still having trouble putting pressure on my wrist. Almost everyday I search for a hands-free yoga video and try to do them. Today I've found your video and it is one of the best ones I've tried! I haven't felt a slightest pain. Thank you so much!
Brett you're a life saver! Been carrying a shoulder problem for most of the CV19 crisis and my dr has told me to stay off it for about 6 weeks so far with more to go. Yoga had been getting me through this horrible time but I had to stop since I was told to stay off the shoulder...til I found this! Literally the only hands-free that caters for other arm issues. Thank you Brett! My body and mind are much happier. Also thank you for your wonderful meditations that have helped me out for years. Blessings on you for the light you bring xx
Thanks Brett. I broke my right wrist and now the other is under strain from over use. Was really missing my practice. This is perfect and gives me so much energy for healing!🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this. I am one week post surgery after a complicated broken wrist. Had just started yoga this year, and was in a daily routine. I was afraid I’d have to give it up. Finding things like this really helps me. Thank you
I’ve been dealing with a spinal injury for a while and yoga has been the main form of exercise my body will tolerate. Then I fractured my wrist pretty severely so it was very encouraging to find something that could help me to manage both injuries and move in some way!
Thank you very much for this practice - I broke my wrist a few weeks ago and haven't felt able to get on my mat but doing this session has left me feeling much more positive. Total gratitude, Namaste 🙏🙏
i just had shoulder surgery 2.5 weeks ago. I have been feeling so useless and in a ton of pain. I tried this today and the only modification was the knee over knee twist which I could not do. I feel so energized right now. Thank you! This really made a difference for me! Namaste :)
Brett, you have seen me through a broken arm, which has healed but now carpal tunnel and arthritis has set in. I am still able to do this and other hands and arm free practices. They have uplifted my spirits and kept my body moving as it is used to doing. Thank you from a very grateful 67 year old woman.
Shoulder surgery with right arm in sling helped me find this video. Wonderful and so helpful! Definitely will save this for future use. Wonderful cuing and breath guidance. Thank you for making this video! Namaste
Omg you just gave me the best Christmas present. Broke my hand after a fall when trail running. Surgery Xmas day. I miss yoga so much and by chance googled yoga for when you have broken hand. Your fantastic
Thank you so much for this vjdeo. I found out today I have a small gear in my rotator cuff and I have been out of yoga for 5 weeks bc of pain and I thought I always had to use my arms. Tonight I put in yoga while injured bc I just couldn't stand it anymore and I found this video. No pain and I could do it all! I'm so happy! Thank you again
Thank you SO much! Was feeling discouraged and sorry for myself at not being able to attend yoga classes with my broken wrist, but now very grateful for your sequence 🌞😊🌻
Thank you so much for this practice! I am six weeks post-op from rotator cuff repair surgery on my left shoulder after a rugby fall 8 years ago. I had a torn labrum and biceps tendon, subscap bursitis, bone growth on my humerus and a neuroma beneath my tricep. Healing has been very slow and painful these past few weeks, but this class allowed me to practice without having to mentally adjust other classes to my needs or stop thinking it would all be too much. I cannot move my shoulder muscles, but can use gravity to passively stretch so the forward folds were perfect. Thank you for also getting into the hips as surgery makes you rather sedentary and its an emotional ordeal so my hips were super duper tight and stressed. I am a massage therapist and won't be able to return to my work for 7 more months and need yoga to help with patience and proper healing during this time. Reminding me to breathe into my injury empowered more awareness and love for myself despite all the pain. I would really enjoy another class like this tailored to a no hands practice so I can stay up on healing yoga even though my body feels less than ideal right now. Thank you for your post it really helped me feel good this morning and get some more space where there hasn't been. Namaste
I hope you healed well and are back working now. I'm also an MT who can't currently work because of my shoulder (just as we were allowed to go back after the covid lockdown, too!)
@@terentiaparera Thank you! Still healing, started PT again due to continued pain from more developed bursitis. Sometimes we take drastic measures and get surgery hoping it will solve a problem, only to be met with a different set of problems. I was going to return to MT work but with Corona, that has been put on hold as with you. Hopefully everything can go back to normal inside my shoulder and outside in the world :)
Thank you SOOO MUCH! I´d already counted on no yoga for the coming 3-4 months, you and my lightbulb moment to search on one arm yoga just changed that for me. ty ty ty!! (I torn 2 tendons in my left hand that had to be pulled back and repaired by a plastic surgeon 2 weeks ago) so happy! recovery is though, this really helps :) X
I will refresh this video. Recently I had an accident and I injured right-hand fingers: middle and ring finger alongside the top of my hand. Due to COVID visiting AE isn't possible, after an injury I had no strength, now I am lacking patience after being told they are so busy with no patients in or waiting in the car park. So my ring finger is defo broken it looks like at least in 2 places and doing yoga is a pain in the bum. This video helped me not only to continue with my practice but also showed home how much I am relying on my upper body and how much I am using my hands to go into the pose. It looks like I am leaving my other half of the body to itself and I am neglecting it little. Or more that little. I will come back to this video injured on not, just to refocus on the bottom half. Thank you Brett!
I know this is an old video but wanted to say how it is still my go to on many occasions. I have ongoing tendonitis in my wrists and love giving them some time off. That said, I have also been dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck and have found this session as/more helpful than any other for giving my neck some space and therefore relief. Thank you.
I am new to yoga. Began two months ago. I broke my third and fourth fingers and was concerned that I would no longer be able to practice. I really enjoyed the session. It made me feel like I can continue yoga through my recovery. Namaste
I had to wear a cast for about 6 weeks. I did this pretty much every day. It really helped me to overcome the injury as I normally do a lot of activity. Good for the body and for the soul. Thanks a lot for sharing!
It amazed me how challenging this was on a different level! I didn't realize how much I use my arms and wrisys in my practrice and made me more aware of how I was holding my pose. Totally a love/hate thing that I need more of. Thankyou so much, and I hope and pray you are healing well. I know personally that being gung ho and pushing thru just makes it worse!! :)
+Jen M You are too sweet. And I agree! I've starting noticing all these other aspects of poses and my practice now that I'm not whizzing through chaturangas and doing all these complex things. It's a total love/hate...LOL
I am in a relaxed state of mind now. I had shoulder surgery to repair a broken socket and have lost half of my range of motion. This video helped to sooth my core and forget about my shoulder. Thank you
thank you so much for this very helpful routine. I have been so upset by my injury and frustrated and feeling so poorly. Your routine really helped me calm down and feel a bit better.
I loved this practice - thanks so much for posting. I had wrist surgery last week and Im in an arm cast for 6 weeks. I was really stressing about not being able to practice yoga but this class was perfect. I got a lot of stretching and grounding of my mind! I am so grateful!
I have tendonitis in the left wrist and thumb. Also I had a cervical spine epidural injection yesterday due to neck and shoulder pain. This class was perfect for me today. You explain the subtleties of the moves so very well. Thank you.
OMG thank you so much I'm 16 and disabled on my left arm and this helped me so much I would love it if you could make more of these videos using no hands thank you so much.love your channel.
This was wonderful! I also had a bike crash that messed up my wrist and elbow. It’s been almost five weeks that I haven’t done any yoga because I couldn’t put any pressure on my wrist. Thank you for this practice!
I have a broken left shoulder and right wrist and found this extremely helpful once I got to the stage where I felt I could feel balanced enough to do some yoga to enrich the soul and improve the healing thank you very much
Thank you, Brett. I have a cast on my right arm as I broke the ulnar bone. Missing yoga so much, this was a much needed practice and one I will do with you everyday until I am healed. Namaste!
This was just perfect - thank you. I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, and had surgery shortly after. I just felt ready yesterday to get back to my regular yoga class, and a lovely session there made realise I could continue more regularly at home in between classes. So good to feel safe, and less vulnerable, while sending healing to the injury. Thanks again - so glad I found you!
Thank you soooo much for this! I am recuperating from wrist surgery and needed yoga so badly to counteract a lower body only WO. It also showed me how much I am pulling with my arms and am not doing the right movements. This is perfect!
thank you. googling an injured wrist yoga brought me to you, and a sweet half hour,especially the reminder to cultivate patience and kindness to oneself
Thank you so much!! I was literally so depressed about being inactive with my broken hand. I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for this. Lots of love..
I recently started a job in the food industry and injured one of my wrists in the process. I've been so frustrated because I stopped doing yoga altogether, thinking I could make no progress without the use of my arms and wrists. Previously my focus had been on building upper body and arm strength. Thank you for helping me reground and move forward while my wrist recovers. Using your hands-free flow, I've reintroduced calm into my differently busy life. Thank you so much!!
This was very helpful for me. I am suffering with a very painful tennis elbow injury and even the slightest use of my arms puts me in agony for a week afterward. This was just what I was looking for. Thank you, and Namaste.
thank you, I have a broken finger and thought I'd see if there was a practice to suit my predicament.This was just perfect and has set me up for the day!
I broke my radius in my left wrist 8 weeks ago while I was snowboarding. It’s been a week since I got my cast off, and I’ve been looking for a hands free practice in addition to my physical therapy. I wish I had searched for a practice sooner! Thank you so much for this video! Forever grateful there’s modifications so I am able to breathe and stretch and rejuvenate my soul through yoga. Looking forward to continuing this journey, namaste.
I broke both ankles in a fall in April 2020. I'm just getting back to yoga and have been searching RUclips for hands free sessions. I love your sequence of poses in this video--gentle but good for building strength and balance. This is a perfect go-to video while the body heals from injury. Thank you! You do rock! Please make another like this one.
Thank you. This is perfect to Carpal Tunnel on my wrist. Some Yoga poses hurt my hands so much and can't do them for long or at all. This has been great change.
Thank you so much, Brett. I've had problems with both shoulders, including surgery on each, for almost 3 years. This video has kept me sane! And is the only one that I can do of all the "Hands-free" ones advertised; sometimes it's been the only movement I've got in my day so thank you. And thank you for your meditations - you are the person I trust to get me to sleep when all else fails! You're a legend and a blessing - namaste x
Thank you so much for this video. I’m missing my left arm. This has helped me so much. My pelvis is off line due to over compensating on my right, which means my whole energy is off. Would love more videos like this. Really enjoyed it. Namaste 💖🙏
Thanks Brett lovely little practice. I broke my left wrist again first time 35 years ago(well before you were born😀) I have a plate this time it was really smashed up😞 I miss my flow class but thanks for your altruistic attitude and making the video.
Thank you Brett! Love all your videos. I am dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome/a rotator cuff problem and am desperately missing my flow. This mellowed me out so much...now I shall finish off with a heart opener!
This is my first attempt at yoga after crashing on my bike; breaking my wrist and thumb. Refreshing option to feel grounded without stressing the injury. Thank you for this. It’s the best option I found (for a slow and simple practice) when browsing for wrist-free yoga. Much appreciated.
I came back to this practice today my wrist is getting a little better but I do not want to slow the healing process. I have been choosing all classes without the use of my arms and look forward to fully recovering to get back to my normal routine. I love that I still have been able to get to my mat everyday since I injured my wrist due to the variety of choices you provide. Thank you again so much love to you - Namaste!
Thanks Brett! I was attacked and bitten by a dog on my left arm a month ago and I have been doing A LOT of "wrist free" classes and this was definitely the most sensitive class to having limited arm use. As I deal with the healing wounds and muscles, this class was just what I needed! Take care, Kate
Thank YOU! I sustained a broken wrist from jiu jitsu training and have been so down in the dumps about inactivity. I was doing yoga twice a day and training BJJ. It’s been about 6 days since my surgery and I found your video. You are a lifesaver. 💙
I broke my wrist two days ago I have a plate and screws in it and lately I've been overdoing it I feel God is teaching me the lesson back into yoga to on my body and you were the best song that I needed thank you so much
Thank you for this lovely practice! I just had surgery for a broken main-hand wrist, so even most hand-free practices require too much arm for me. This one was just perfect and absolutely relaxing.
Thank you so much for this! I feel so much more calm now. I sprained my wrist falling doing a headstand on SUP 8 days ago and have been running and mostly lower leg and some core work but am very frustrated! This helped calm me this am. 🙏🏻❤️
Hi, this was exactly what I needed today. I broke my arm during a climbing accident a couple days ago and I've been itching for some kind of activity that I could do with my injury.
Thank you so much! This was lovely. I recently had surgery to repair a severed nerve in my finger after an unfortunate accident with a knife in the kitchen. I can't believe how much I can't do while this small body part is healing, and it's hard to not be constantly down about it. I was really grateful for a new way to work on the poses in this sequence. Thank you!
Love this video, this idea. Just did it with the thought that I had no arms. And it really shows where one should go in to each pose with the hands tide to the back. Tree Pose, cross legged and even cow face pose.. would recommend to all advanced yoga teachers and practitioners out there
Hi Brett, Thank you for the wonderful class. I was so thankful to find a class that I could do after injuring myself. It's been 5 1/2 weeks since I feel backward off a ledge while hiking. Landed on a fallen tree truck. Broke 3 ribs and tore ligaments etc in my right wrist. A terrible accident for sure! But I'm starting to move better now and am really enjoying your class. All my best to you and our fellow recovering yogis!
Thank you so much! I have injured the AC joint in my shoulder and haven't been able to do yoga because of it. As a beginner, it's difficult to know how to modify poses by myself. You helped me see how I can still do yoga with this injury, and even to begin to see it as a way to deepen my practice rather than something that detracts from it
I broke my elbow biking two weeks ago and am in a cast now. It's been so much more limiting than I expected and I've been pretty depressed about not being able to do all the things that make me happy, particularly yoga. This routine was not only a welcome challenge and way for me to get back in touch with my practice, but also reminded me to be grateful, patient, and gentle with my body as it heals. Thank you so so so much!!!
Thank you so much for the practice. I just broke my thumb, so this was a perfect sequence of poses to work around my injury. I hope you start feeling some relief soon after you bike spill!
I have a similar injury, in my thumb not broken though. I need to keep my hand on the chest and no pressure. tnx for the soothing practice plz make more videos with other various poses.
Thank you so much for this! I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in both hands and wrists, and it has been challenging to find sequences that are truly hands-free.
Lo and behold, there is such a practice as a no arms yoga! THANK YOU!! Only four days before my annual Christmas tour in Norway, I managed to fracture and sprain my right arm training our sled dogs on a kick bike. Stupid! I was prepared to be too busy for yoga anyways, but now that the tour is finished, I really wanted to get back in the saddle again. A concert tour does not provide a lot of rest for an injured arm, so it is taking a lot longer to heal than expected. Now that I found this video, I can at least begin to do yoga again, and I feel really cheered up! Looking forward to working out with you in 2019, even if I have to go slow in the beginning. Thank you for making this opportunity to work out in spite of an injury! Namaste, and happy new year! :-)
i feel like you saved me. I broke my arm last week and no swimming, no yoga for weeks! I am 76 and depend on fitness to feel well and capable so I was pretty depressed. I appreciated that everything you said during the session was useful, no fluff. I have been practicing yoga for decades and this session really impressed me. i especially liked that you included a balance posture that surprised me, but doing it gave me confidence. it would be nice if you came up with some hands free variations. i have a lot of time to kill. many thanks,

I am a left shoulder disarticulation amputee. I'm always on the lookout for yoga practices/positions that I can do with one arm. This class was great!
I am so glad you found this class enjoyable! It is an honor to practice with you💖💖💖
Thank you I feel really peaceful now. Fractured and dislocated my elbow last week and felt really stiff but you have sorted me out.
Brett you're a life saver! Been carrying a shoulder problem for most of the CV19 crisis and my dr has told me to stay off it for about 6 weeks so far with more to go.

Awesome video. I'm dealing with recovery from carpal tunnel surgery. So good to be back to doing yoga again with this video.
I am new to yoga. Began two months ago. I broke my third and fourth fingers and was concerned that I would no longer be able to practice. I really enjoyed the session. It made me feel like I can continue yoga through my recovery. Namaste
So glad this helped, thank you for practicing with me! Sending you healing thoughts!
I had to wear a cast for about 6 weeks. I did this pretty much every day. It really helped me to overcome the injury as I normally do a lot of activity. Good for the body and for the soul. Thanks a lot for sharing!
It amazed me how challenging this was on a different level! I didn't realize how much I use my arms and wrisys in my practrice and made me more aware of how I was holding my pose. Totally a love/hate thing that I need more of. Thankyou so much, and I hope and pray you are healing well. I know personally that being gung ho and pushing thru just makes it worse!! :)
+Jen M You are too sweet. And I agree! I've starting noticing all these other aspects of poses and my practice now that I'm not whizzing through chaturangas and doing all these complex things. It's a total love/hate...LOL
I am in a relaxed state of mind now. I had shoulder surgery to repair a broken socket and have lost half of my range of motion. This video helped to sooth my core and forget about my shoulder. Thank you
Yay, so glad this helped you! Thank you for practicing with me!!
thank you so much for this very helpful routine. I have been so upset by my injury and frustrated and feeling so poorly. Your routine really helped me calm down and feel a bit better.
Yay, so glad this helped you! Thank you for practicing with me!!
I loved this practice - thanks so much for posting. I had wrist surgery last week and Im in an arm cast for 6 weeks. I was really stressing about not being able to practice yoga but this class was perfect. I got a lot of stretching and grounding of my mind! I am so grateful!
Broke my right elbow falling down from a bike. Realized can't go to the gym for a while. Ur voice and folowing you helped me release frustration
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! Hope you heal quickly!!💖🙏
I have tendonitis in the left wrist and thumb. Also I had a cervical spine epidural injection yesterday due to neck and shoulder pain. This class was perfect for me today. You explain the subtleties of the moves so very well. Thank you.
You're so welcome!!! Practice with me again soon! xoxo
OMG thank you so much I'm 16 and disabled on my left arm and this helped me so much I would love it if you could make more of these videos using no hands thank you so much.love your channel.
This was wonderful! I also had a bike crash that messed up my wrist and elbow. It’s been almost five weeks that I haven’t done any yoga because I couldn’t put any pressure on my wrist. Thank you for this practice!
You're so welcome!!! Practice with me again soon! xoxo
Thank you for a true no arms practice!
You're so welcome!!! Practice with me again soon! xoxo
I have a broken left shoulder and right wrist and found this extremely helpful once I got to the stage where I felt I could feel balanced enough to do some yoga to enrich the soul and improve the healing thank you very much
So glad you were able to practice with me! Sending you healing vibes!
I have really enjoyed doing this class following carpal tunnel surgery. Thank you.
Thank you, Brett. I have a cast on my right arm as I broke the ulnar bone. Missing yoga so much, this was a much needed practice and one I will do with you everyday until I am healed. Namaste!
I broke my left wrist and sprained my right almost a year ago and developed some pretty bad arthritis in both. Loved this routine!
Yay, so glad this helped you! Thank you for practicing with me!!
This was just perfect - thank you. I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, and had surgery shortly after. I just felt ready yesterday to get back to my regular yoga class, and a lovely session there made realise I could continue more regularly at home in between classes. So good to feel safe, and less vulnerable, while sending healing to the injury. Thanks again - so glad I found you!
My mom has frozen shoulder and a broken elbow. We were able to do this video together :) Thank you!
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
Great flow for my injured shoulder, we never realized how we put pressure on our arms, thanks for sharing, namaste
Dislocated left shoulder a week ago. Very happy to find this video. Thank you
Thank you from another bike fall survivor with a fracture in elbow. I loved this practice
Yay, I'm so glad you loved this class! Practice with me again soon💖💖💖
Thank you soooo much for this! I am recuperating from wrist surgery and needed yoga so badly to counteract a lower body only WO. It also showed me how much I am pulling with my arms and am not doing the right movements. This is perfect!
thanks very much... great calming method... i think you are a good teacher...
thank you. googling an injured wrist yoga brought me to you, and a sweet half hour,especially the reminder to cultivate patience and kindness to oneself
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
Thank you so much!! I was literally so depressed about being inactive with my broken hand. I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for this. Lots of love..
You are so welcome!! Try this other no hands class too ruclips.net/video/AciC4rRZ_mA/видео.html xoxo
I recently started a job in the food industry and injured one of my wrists in the process. I've been so frustrated because I stopped doing yoga altogether, thinking I could make no progress without the use of my arms and wrists. Previously my focus had been on building upper body and arm strength. Thank you for helping me reground and move forward while my wrist recovers. Using your hands-free flow, I've reintroduced calm into my differently busy life. Thank you so much!!
This was very helpful for me. I am suffering with a very painful tennis elbow injury and even the slightest use of my arms puts me in agony for a week afterward. This was just what I was looking for. Thank you, and Namaste.
Yay, so glad this helped you! Thank you for practicing with me!!
great! thank you! Broke my left arm one week ago (still hard to type)! and this felt great!
Thank you! I'm recovering from a broken arm and this was perfect.
thank you, I have a broken finger and thought I'd see if there was a practice to suit my predicament.This was just perfect and has set me up for the day!
Awesome, so glad this helped you!!
I broke my radius in my left wrist 8 weeks ago while I was snowboarding. It’s been a week since I got my cast off, and I’ve been looking for a hands free practice in addition to my physical therapy. I wish I had searched for a practice sooner! Thank you so much for this video! Forever grateful there’s modifications so I am able to breathe and stretch and rejuvenate my soul through yoga. Looking forward to continuing this journey, namaste.
Thank you for being here!
I broke both ankles in a fall in April 2020. I'm just getting back to yoga and have been searching RUclips for hands free sessions. I love your sequence of poses in this video--gentle but good for building strength and balance. This is a perfect go-to video while the body heals from injury. Thank you! You do rock! Please make another like this one.
Yay, so glad this helped you! Thank you for practicing with me!!
Thank you. This is perfect to Carpal Tunnel on my wrist. Some Yoga poses hurt my hands so much and can't do them for long or at all. This has been great change.
Thank you so much, Brett. I've had problems with both shoulders, including surgery on each, for almost 3 years. This video has kept me sane! And is the only one that I can do of all the "Hands-free" ones advertised; sometimes it's been the only movement I've got in my day so thank you. And thank you for your meditations - you are the person I trust to get me to sleep when all else fails! You're a legend and a blessing - namaste x
Thank you so much for this video. I’m missing my left arm. This has helped me so much. My pelvis is off line due to over compensating on my right, which means my whole energy is off. Would love more videos like this. Really enjoyed it. Namaste 💖🙏
You are very welcome, thank you for being here 🙏💖
Just the practice I needed while nursing a rotator cuff injury. Thanks!
Sending you healing thoughts🙏
Namaste Brett. My sprained wrist felt fine throughout and so did the rest of me. Great balance of gentleness and still some challenge.
Yay, I'm so glad you loved this class! Practice with me again soon💖💖💖
Thanks Brett lovely little practice. I broke my left wrist again first time 35 years ago(well before you were born😀)
I have a plate this time it was really smashed up😞
I miss my flow class but thanks for your altruistic attitude and making the video.
Sending you healing vibes! So glad this helped you💖💖💖
Truly hands-free unlike other "hands-free" videos on youtube, thanks, the 40 min flew by.
Thank you Brett! Love all your videos. I am dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome/a rotator cuff problem and am desperately missing my flow. This mellowed me out so much...now I shall finish off with a heart opener!
Thank you for this. I'm struggling with wrist pain and a friend just got stitches. This is super helpful!
This is my first attempt at yoga after crashing on my bike; breaking my wrist and thumb. Refreshing option to feel grounded without stressing the injury. Thank you for this. It’s the best option I found (for a slow and simple practice) when browsing for wrist-free yoga. Much appreciated.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Thank you for practicing with me!!
Really needed this! Thank you so much - healing from a broken wrist ❤
thank you! currently have a broken arm. enjoyed this sequence.
I came back to this practice today my wrist is getting a little better but I do not want to slow the healing process. I have been choosing all classes without the use of my arms and look forward to fully recovering to get back to my normal routine. I love that I still have been able to get to my mat everyday since I injured my wrist due to the variety of choices you provide. Thank you again so much love to you - Namaste!
So happy you are making it work. Hugs and speedy healing💖
Thanks Brett! I was attacked and bitten by a dog on my left arm a month ago and I have been doing A LOT of "wrist free" classes and this was definitely the most sensitive class to having limited arm use. As I deal with the healing wounds and muscles, this class was just what I needed! Take care, Kate
This is the perfect routine as I tend to my shoulder impingement! Thank you!
I broke my elbow on my bicycle too! This yoga was amazing. Thank you!!!
Thank YOU! I sustained a broken wrist from jiu jitsu training and have been so down in the dumps about inactivity. I was doing yoga twice a day and training BJJ. It’s been about 6 days since my surgery and I found your video. You are a lifesaver. 💙
You're very welcome! Wishing you a speedy recovery 💖
I have stitches in my right hand from trigger finger surgery. Thanks for the wonderful practice!
Thank you! Broke my wrist a week ago. This was wonderful.
I broke my wrist two days ago I have a plate and screws in it and lately I've been overdoing it I feel God is teaching me the lesson back into yoga to on my body and you were the best song that I needed thank you so much
Thank you for this lovely practice! I just had surgery for a broken main-hand wrist, so even most hand-free practices require too much arm for me. This one was just perfect and absolutely relaxing.
So glad you liked the class, hope you heal quickly💖💖💖
@@BrettLarkinYoga thank you 💕 Oh I forgot to say at some point the voice is out of sync, no big deal but I thought you'd like to know.
Thank you so much for this! I feel so much more calm now. I sprained my wrist falling doing a headstand on SUP 8 days ago and have been running and mostly lower leg and some core work but am very frustrated! This helped calm me this am. 🙏🏻❤️
Fractured hand and bruised ribs. This was perfect. I feel hopeful that I can continue doing yoga while healing. That's empowering!
Hi, this was exactly what I needed today. I broke my arm during a climbing accident a couple days ago and I've been itching for some kind of activity that I could do with my injury.
Thank you so much! This was lovely. I recently had surgery to repair a severed nerve in my finger after an unfortunate accident with a knife in the kitchen. I can't believe how much I can't do while this small body part is healing, and it's hard to not be constantly down about it. I was really grateful for a new way to work on the poses in this sequence. Thank you!
Love this video, this idea. Just did it with the thought that I had no arms. And it really shows where one should go in to each pose with the hands tide to the back. Tree Pose, cross legged and even cow face pose.. would recommend to all advanced yoga teachers and practitioners out there
Thank you so much for this comment! 🙏
Thank you slipped on snow/ice and broke my wrist. this was great for my tight hips.
Hi Brett, Thank you for the wonderful class. I was so thankful to find a class that I could do after injuring myself. It's been 5 1/2 weeks since I feel backward off a ledge while hiking. Landed on a fallen tree truck. Broke 3 ribs and tore ligaments etc in my right wrist. A terrible accident for sure! But I'm starting to move better now and am really enjoying your class. All my best to you and our fellow recovering yogis!
So glad you are on the mend!! Thank you for practicing with me!
Thank you so much! I have injured the AC joint in my shoulder and haven't been able to do yoga because of it. As a beginner, it's difficult to know how to modify poses by myself. You helped me see how I can still do yoga with this injury, and even to begin to see it as a way to deepen my practice rather than something that detracts from it
Yay, so glad this helped you! Thank you for practicing with me!!
Me too I have shoulder surgery and will replace my shoulder in 2 months. This would help
I broke my elbow biking two weeks ago and am in a cast now. It's been so much more limiting than I expected and I've been pretty depressed about not being able to do all the things that make me happy, particularly yoga. This routine was not only a welcome challenge and way for me to get back in touch with my practice, but also reminded me to be grateful, patient, and gentle with my body as it heals. Thank you so so so much!!!
Sending you healing vibes!! Thank you for practicing with me!!
Thank you so much for the practice. I just broke my thumb, so this was a perfect sequence of poses to work around my injury. I hope you start feeling some relief soon after you bike spill!
I have a similar injury, in my thumb not broken though. I need to keep my hand on the chest and no pressure. tnx for the soothing practice plz make more videos with other various poses.
Thank you so much for this! I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in both hands and wrists, and it has been challenging to find sequences that are truly hands-free.
You are very welcome, thank you for being here 🙏💖
Lo and behold, there is such a practice as a no arms yoga! THANK YOU!! Only four days before my annual Christmas tour in Norway, I managed to fracture and sprain my right arm training our sled dogs on a kick bike. Stupid! I was prepared to be too busy for yoga anyways, but now that the tour is finished, I really wanted to get back in the saddle again. A concert tour does not provide a lot of rest for an injured arm, so it is taking a lot longer to heal than expected. Now that I found this video, I can at least begin to do yoga again, and I feel really cheered up! Looking forward to working out with you in 2019, even if I have to go slow in the beginning. Thank you for making this opportunity to work out in spite of an injury! Namaste, and happy new year! :-)
Sending you healing vibes Beautiful!! Thank you so much for being here this year💖💖💖
