      Kassandra, Please try to see if you can use 1080P camera because the picture quality is very poor. It could be a lighting issue. Spent time upgrading your filming set. I want you to have more viewers. Yes, I do agree with your statement when you said less is more.

      @@biller2000 im not sure what quality of pic you see but the one i get is very good quality which makes me think the quality issue can be due to your equipment.

    Hi Cassandra, I’m really enjoying and appreciating so many if your videos. I’m over 50 and though I’m somewhat active, my motivation has definitely slipped over the past 5 years. The way you teach and guide is easy to follow and helped me find my way back to loving the discipline of making time for healthy routine. With so many options, I can always find a video for what I feel I’m in need of at the time. You’re fantastic. Thank you for your gift. 🙏🏻

    Hmmm my first experience with yin yoga in general. I love how my mind is going crazy with thoughts through all those long holds but being mindful of them and letting them go by just observing them really helps. This is my favorite way of practicing meditation now 🧘‍♂️❤

  • @elsaaforges

    Thank you very much for your videos, Kassandra (what a beautiful name). I've been practicing yoga for seven years at my gym once a week. Although I've gained flexibility, I wasn't aware that what I lack is core strength in order to do really tough poses. Even now I can't do sirsasana. I don't have enough strength on my shoulders. Thanks to your videos on core now I know what I must work on. Every single morning I do one yin yoga video (I had never heard about yin yoga) and one vinyasa. In a few weeks I feel my body has got stronger. I don't think I will go back to the gym again to do yoga. I can see that your videos have improved along these years. Keep it up!

    Thank you so much for your videos. I've been dealing with hip tightness and pain recently since switching from an active job to a sitting job plus going back to school. I also have fallen out of the habit of doing yoga and exercising. I am trying to get back into the habit of doing yoga consistently again as it has always made me feel better.

    I'm a ballet dancer, and with everything going on, I sometimes tend to put off stretching or I don't do it as long as I should -- I found your channel a while ago for your morning yoga, but honestly, I've been loving your yin yoga. I stretch daily (usually) but find that following along with someone helps me really relax into the positions. From a ballet dancer, thank you!

  • @eelkeaptroot1393
    @eelkeaptroot1393 7 лет назад +6

    I admire your efforts. I personally gave up middle splits as a goal, but I practice the pancake on a regular basis. From my own experience the rounding of the spine to get deeper into the pose, though it may look like it's deepening, it's generally counter productive. Like with most folds you want to fold from the hip and keep the spine long, what also helps is to not gaze down, but forwards...

    • @moonbearbriarbramble8994
      @moonbearbriarbramble8994 4 года назад

      Yin postures focus on the joint and connective tissue in the low back, pelvis, and hips. Engaging muscles around a joint often draws the joint together which creates stress on the muscles but not the connective tissue. In Yin, you cannot "push harder." To do so is counterproductive.

Yin yoga is just wonderful, and I really like your class structures and teaching style, Kassandra. Also love to see Kit Kat.

    You are INCREDIBLE.. after I left competitive sports , and had several injuries, I struggled with motivation to exercise, and would go for a week and then just be bored of it. Yoga has excited me in ways I can't describe. Like I clock out at work and I just can't wait to get home and be on the mat. Since I started doing your routines , I've increased my flexibility, strength, and energy levels. Thank you, I'm not dying in and practice, and I'm a much calmer, happier, healthier person than what I was in March. 🙏🙇‍♂️
