    Sitting at my desk for hours every day during covid has made my back feel all out of sorts. This flow is perfect and so much of the earlier tightness is gone. Thank you Cat!

    I've done this twice, last night and this morning. I've struggled with chronic pain in my back body for years from long distance running and over-exerting my body. I have tried isolated stretches through yoga for each of my tight areas, but this was the first yoga sequence I've done for the posterior chain, specifically. I haven't felt this kind of relief in years. Thank you so much for creating this video!

    I've been sick in bed all day so my back was VERY tight. The slower pace was the perfect flow for my weak body and my back feels much better. Thank you!!

    Awesome class, thanks! Def not my hamstrings so much as my spine and the muscles around the mid back. It was a struggle doing the curling, not painful but almost, and just not so comfortable to roll down, had to use my breath a lot. But it feels better now, thank you!

    This is such a brilliant flow, the tightness I had in my hip was actually coming from my back. It’s the perfect self massage. Thanks.

    My neck and upper back had been super tight the whole day, which is why I decided to try this flow. Now I feel so much better ! Thank you so much Cat !

    Thank you. Enjoyed this yoga flow this morning which I did as my yoga teeacher had to cancel short notice. I have a lot of tightness in my posterior chain so I feel this will help.

    I started following this flow in 2019 whenever I felt any sort of niggle or tightness in my back. I recommend it to everyone who mentions issues of tightness in their back body, and I still come back to it now. Very grateful to you for sharing this!

    I always come to your channel and find exactly what I need. My lower back and the base of my neck were causing me a lot of pain. After performing this, I feel such relief. Thank you Cat, your videos have made such a difference in my life

    This was PERFECT for me today. A few days ago I pushed myself a little too hard and hurt my lower back. This was the perfect practice to mindfully stretch out all that soreness. Thanks, Cat!

    Really enjoyed the stretches in this sequence. I was looking for ways to ease a discomfort in my coccyx. Doing this video helped me realise the tightness all up and down my spine. Will do this again as i feel a tiny bit looser. Thanks again for posting great videos like this!

  • @ashleighmiles1377
    @ashleighmiles1377 6 лет назад

  • @ClaireDellamar
    @ClaireDellamar 3 года назад

    Thank you Cat! This is one of my favorite flows for days when I feel really tight. I have really tight shoulders/neck/lower back and sometimes I wake up with terrible tension headaches and it can be hard to know what to do. Could you possibly do a flow targeting these areas? Something for days when you feel like you can barely move but know that your body needs to stretch out. Would be a life savor for me! Thanks for all your flows, they've really gotten me through 2020.

  • @HelenMelon222
    @HelenMelon222 6 лет назад

    Wow my back was tight! Rounding the spine felt a little uncomfortable, but also just what I needed! Probably my own fault for forgetting to stretch after climbing yesterday... Thank you!! Also really like using a strap - I've never really known how to use them properly so normally avoid it. xx

    Cat Meffan! I’ve been sleeping on a lumpy futon for about three years now and even though I’ve finally thrown it out and sleep on a real bed, my back wakes up SUPER stiff and achy every morning. I’ve been doing yoga almost every morning to combat it, but I think three years of bad treatment is harder to tackle. Do you think you can show us a flow designed for very intense upper and lower back pain? For example when I do side stretches while i sit, my back scREAms at me and starts cracking in all kinds of ways. I’m 21. I miss my back heath :( is there any yoga flow we can try for this intense problem? Hope you got the chance to read it. Thanks in advance if you did!

    Been having issues with posterior tightness and thought it was time to give Yoga a try. This routine helped ease the tightness in my neck (possible serratus posterior superior) i will be doing this every day till my tightnesss has gone.
    Is there anything special to hit the serratus posterior superior and inferior as im sure thats where my tightness comes from
