Dearest Ali, I started following your channel in Jan 2013 and this was the first class I took with you. 11+ years later it's such a joy to come back to these old classes. Thank you for putting out such high quality classes consistently for over a decade.
Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much in Hawaiian) for giving me your outstanding, creative, challenging yoga. I was tired of the same yoga poses, and then I found you. And it's free. I'm grateful to you. I do your intermediate/advanced yoga and am almost 67 years old. Been doing yoga through DVD's (Baptiste, Keste, Adrienne Reed, others) for 10 years.
Two days ago I went to the first yoga class of my life and I will be forever thankful to my teacher, my life will always be fuller. I did not know what I was feeling though after it, my chest felt weird under near the sun suplex and I was breathing a lot deeper. However I couldn't hold until the next class and today I searched for a similar class and I found you. I love your truth and your flow and by the end of this class when it went into the knee hip stretches on the floor and kunasa, I started to feel vibrant all over my body, my face, my teeth and I couldn't do else but laugh! I love you! Thank you! Sincerely, Juris.
"hip opener" means it open the joint and muscle - the hip flexors. It will not make your bone structure wider. You can build muscle to give the appearance of wider hips. I suggest heavy weights, and yoga like this, in between. Yoga builds incredible, compact power, and dramatically increases flexibility. This will aid you in all your fitness goals. Wonderful practice, thank you for posting this!
Wonderful class, I could not have asked for a more perfect flow for me. Love all the twists, hip openers, and especially the closing sequence. Just what I needed today as I try to calm my Pitta dosha and yet stay strong and focused. Love and light to you, Ali.
This was my first class of Ali's which I took three years ago, and have been hooked ever since. I'm a yoga practitioner for almost twenty years and her classes are my favorite. Thanks again!
I'm starting to follow your yoga flows several times a week, and its such a challenge to stay with you. Your dancerly style is very different from most yoga teachers, and is really inspiring to see how exquisite these poses can look and be. thanks, and peace from PJ
I'm a yoga teacher of eleven years and I adore this practice. It's strong on the arms and I've modified it considerably for a class of mixed ability students but I think it builds strength in a really beautiful way. You have a lovely voice and it's great fun to move with the challenge this presents. I'm usually more of a Jnana yoga practitioner but this is great stuff. Thank you very much indeed.
wow! thanks for your videos. amazing practice...challenging, strenghtening, empowering. thank you. best ive seen in my over ten years of yoga. brought my own personal practice back to life. keep it up!
Aww abby kelly that's a great compliment! It's my combination of Power yoga, Vinyasa yoga, Interval workouts, dance, fluid movement, etc. I call it Interval Yoga. :)
Yay for YOU.! Your so cute, ;-) I love your garden!, I'm in Waiheke in NZ and follow you 3 times a week.! you sound so calm through out the sequence like there's no worries, it keeps me motivated.! So happy I found You.! I'm an artist so i'm on my bum all day and these classes are my treat. ;-)
Hey Ali, How are you? I revisited this class today and am so glad I did. I forgot what a grueling plank core sequence this class has. There are a lot of great variations for strengthening the core. As always, I loved the class and appreciated your unique way of capturing and holding one's attention. I hope all is well with you...ever xo, Laura
Another cracking video Ali. I've been doing these classes almost every day now for a couple of weeks, and am getting a lot stronger (flexibility has never been too much of a problem for me, it's core and leg strength I've always lacked). I love it! Absolutely perfect. Thank you so much :)
Great class! I love your videos! thanks Ali.. I am doing the longer ones three or four times a week. Will try to find time to increase my practice! But so far, thanks to these videos I feel I have improved a lot (still not craw, nor arm balances, but the other poses and strenght). Blessings, Isabel
yes, so tight hamstrings and back. use a strap and keep good alignment. don't worry about going deep into a stretch. hip openers increase mobility in the hip joints :)
Your beautiful spirit shines through your practice and makes it much easier for me to stick to and get through your challenging videos. Much love beautiful yogi
My first time trying one of your yoga tutorials, and it was amazing! Keep it up!! I love the internet, you find so many incredible individuals, such as yourself! Feeling energized and happy!
I did this crazy and forgot to comment. What a fabulous follow. My flexibility had improved because I could do everything but wheel, although down digs in proper form are still difficult so I am continuing to modify with extended forward bends until the hamstrings warm up. Great flow
I am soooo thankful for your videos. I am a mommy and have very little time. Your style and energy is right up my ally and I end all my nights with these. I am already seeing results. Thank you thank you thank you! Namaste
Ali, I've been doing some of your videos at home for about a month now, I feel so much more flexible and so much more in touch with my body!! Thank you so much for posting these. You are absolutely gorgeous, and a very kind individual :)
Hi, great video :) I felt my back ease up within the first 10 mins and my hamstring relax right away... I have to pause the video and take breaks but feel great, Thank you :)
wow! i did it! i can't do the crow and some of the shoulder stands but i did the whole thing with a few modifications and i feel fantastic! i sweated allot and the tension i had building up in my shoulder is gone! thank you so much Ali! Namaste
Thank you so much for your videos Ali. They are perfect for rainy days when I just don't feel like going to the gym or going for a run. They are both calming and challenging and have really improved my strength and flexibility. Could you possibly do a video to prepare beginners/intermediates for inversions? I am hoping to get better at head and handstands as well as learn things like frog and forearm stand. I am a pole vaulter so inversions are a big part of my training. Thank you!
Perfect flow on a quiet Sunday morning after working my legs hard at the gym yesterday evening. My hamstrings and entire body feel much more open. Thank you, Ali. Namaste.
Hi Ali! Your yoga routines are so great! What a challenge! I was wondering if you have any suggestions for prenatal yoga? I've done some looking and haven't found anything promising. Thank you again with all my heart for your practice that you share with all who long to improve and feel the joy yoga.
as with everything else best to listen to your body. I find that 2-4 times a week is sufficient for developing flexibility. rotate between short and long videos depending on your energy that day. just practice it weekly and you will see big improvements. good luck and keep me posted. :)
By far the most perfect class!!! I've done this one a few times and I will keep doing it... Love the flow love the twists and the core work . Music is wonderful.... Thank you again Ali
Hi Mylann45 , if you don't know the alignment for a new pose just hold the previous pose such as holding the lunge that preceded Eka Pada Kouniyanasana I. Use common sense if it feels wrong don't do it. You can give things a try if you are getting the alignment. We all have to start somewhere :) Namaste
This was elegant and beautiful...I was challenged in a beautiful way. Thank you so much...I will dot his again for sure :) I love yoga and fitness together....
I feel great after doing your videos! Thank you! Tmrw I will do ur new 80 min vinyasa! Looking forward to it! I can see my body changing during ur videos!
This one is similar to your emotional release class with hip openers. LOVE them both! I am hoping to continue doing these to help my hips open up more. I have had some pain after running because my hips are so tight. This is helping me so much! Thanks Ali!
Wonderful well balanced class. Ive subscribed to your channel for some time but only recently started doing you videos. I don’t know why I waited so long. You are such a great teacher. I feel so accomplished after completing your classes. I can’t start my day without them now!
Sean thank you. It depends on the trimester you are in but you can do my yoga with different modifications provided your physician said it's ok. The restricted poses change in the different trimesters. Have a beautiful pregnancy and a divine motherhood. Love
yes Ayla Fecero said it well. Hip openers are poses that keep your hips healthy and flexible. Overall open hips will help your alignment and ability to train glutes and legs and back in a fuller range of motion so it will give you the opportunity to be in the best shape for your structure :D Love
@ TheKimmi562 Yes, this class is going to deepen flexibility! Sorry, no idea which pose you are describing. If it feels like you are gonna "break yourself" definitely don't do it. I believe in certain level of ease when stretching. Hope that helps :)
Здравей Али! Преди три дена попаднах на едно твое видео и вече съм голям фен! Невероятни сесии! Продължавай все така да ни вдъхновяваш! :) Поздрави от Люксембург!
@Ali Kamenova I train Brazilian jiu jitsu and want to increase my strength and flexibility towards this martial art. I have really stiff shoulders, hips, quads, and hamstrings. So basically I have very limited flexibility. Which style of yoga would be best suited for me and the goals that I am trying to obtain?
love you vids,,,thanks ali,,,just have a very stupid question (sorry, please bear with me :))), I really dont want build chunky muscles on the arm,,so will plank poses give you big arm muscle...? thank you :))
hi ali kamenova, thanks for your beatiful videos. I have a question, maybe you can help me. I've been practicing martial arts for a long time (taekwondo) but I do not improve my spagat (opening of both legs towards the sides), will this video help me? how many times per week i have to do, to improve?. Thanks for your time.
Me gusto mucho la sesión, pero que lástima que no esté en español, me estreso de estar levantando la cabeza para ver que sigue, pero de todos modos me agradó!!! :)
I have never forgotten you. I keep coming back. Thankyou again❤

Gerraine Santos advanced at 67 - wow good for you!!! that's what yoga is all about :) YOU ROCK!!! Love

you never realize how off your body is until you put everything back in place. thanks :)
I loved how balanced this class was. Thank you Ali! You are a goddess of light, love, and happiness.
Love, love, love this class, I keep coming back to it. Thank you Ali.

Anita don't worry planks alone can tone your arms but won't make them bulky. :)
