That was very good, but I would like to ask you to constantly guide us with what should be happening to our necks - in some postures my neck takes strain and I don't always know how to adjust to push the tension elsewhere. Otherwise you are a complete lifesaver and I very much appreciate the classes.
Thanks for that feedback Marion. If you are looking for extra help I am always available for private lesson. You can DM me on IG to schedule @timsenesiyoga🙏
I love that he is very mindful about proper form and alignment - the fundamentals. These help to avoid injuries and prevent your body from building incorrect muscle memory. Been practicing yoga for 9 years and I’m learning that I’m doing some poses wrong. I also like that he’s having fun, not too serious. You know he’s trying to be funny when he mumbles a joke. 😂
You are the best yoga teacher I've ever found on the internet. I always have strain in my lower back doing cobra. Your cues for the pelvis and ribs were so tremendously helpful and I actually felt a good stretch in my mid-back for the first time! Thank you!!!
Wow! I have terrible lumbar pain and fear any classes with backbends, but your clear and concise class helped me to align and protect my lower back. No pain today!! Excited to engage my core and open my thoracic spine. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and love!
The reverse plank “backbend” was amazing! Walking through every motion rolling shoulders and using hips to extend. The front of my chest and backs of my shoulders feel like they were remade/reopened. Thank you!
Thanks for another Senesi-ational class. Your skillful sequencing brought me an exquisite (and rare) t-spine crack that released some old deposited energy. Here in Texas we revel in "striking black gold" when oil deposits are discovered. No dangerous digging required in Tim's class! It was a healing release as today is the anniversary of the suicide of a family member who was deeply troubled. I feel a gentle and compassionate vibe around the whole incident today, simply letting go into love, thanks to your class. Yoga asanas can be healing on so many levels, especially when they are guided by a mindful and compassionate teacher. You THE MAN!
I am sorry to hear about the passing of your family member. I know anniversaries can bring lots of emotions and happy to hear that this class helped. Thank you for sharing this Brad. 🙏
The best yoga instructor on youtube, haven’t felt this good in months, been doing yoga via video for 4 years, but this is the first time I actually feel like I’m doing yoga 😃
Great series of sessions - finding the discipline of controlling the location and extent of back bending extremely helpful. Looking forward to the rest of the challenge. Mark
Thanks, Tim. I always need to work on stretching and moving my thoracic spine so I love this practice. The heart opener was invigorating. See you tomorrow. Namaste.
It was tough to get to my mat today, but I did it! Day 4. I really liked the reverse plank back bend, powerful. And I appreciated how you showed getting set up for wheel pose. That is a very challenging pose!! Thank you for this strong and back bend connected flow, Tim.
Hi it was a great back bend practice! I don't have problem opening chest but have a really tight thigh. Hope I will get little bit more soft thigh at the end of this challenge.
I'm trying your 30 Day Challenge for the first time. Cobra felt different for me than it's felt before - it was a good change! I appreciate the build to the reverse plank and wheel practice.
Thank you for a great practice - I chuckle at your humor…forward fold better than everyone else 😆 These were great stretches & even though I had rotator cuff surgery 10 months ago, I am in a great place with these back bend lead ups. Carry on, Tim!
I wasn't born here but I came to know that it is ineed a beautiful country with brave honest and beautiful people. And from here I enjoy every class with you and Ollie. Beside yoga I taste your humor which gives me a sense of good feeling and odd laughing on the mat by myself...
4:06 "This is advanced... twerking... for beginners". Lost it at that. Love the humor element in your videos, one of the reasons this is my favorite yoga channel.
I just recovered from COVID and my first instinct was to do a guided flow with you. Thank you for centering my body and soul again after it experienced physical turmoil. Thank you for all that you do, Tim!
I could definitely feel what you were talking about. I'm now noticing how much strain I put on my lower back vs. engaging my upper back as well. Thank you for talking through each step! Woooo Day 4! :) Sending you and Ollie a hug!
Despite practicing yoga for years and completing a YTT, back bending/heart opening poses have always been a huge challenge for me. A lot of that is fear holding me back punctuated by the occasional attempt to push too hard, trying expressions of poses that I am not ready for. This class was so helpful to go back to the basics of alignment and intention with heart-opening poses in ways that are accessible, not scary, and not forcing or jamming anything (as we did in PE as kids in the 'stretch test'). I look forward to continuing the challenge and seeing where it leads for my practice! Thanks Tim :)
Loving the vibe so far Tim! Best part of my day! Also, thanks for the respect to "step up lightly to your hand"!! It took me over a year of daily practice to unlock that seemingly simple yoga skill... oof :)
@@yogawithtim I really appreciate that! I have fallen into that trap of trying to become increasingly "advanced" but going back to the foundations often creates a more meaningful practice for me. Thanks!
This morning I woke up early (5:30 European time) to do my yoga before the family woke up, to find out the video wasn't online yet XD Had a nice meditation though and did my yoga when the family left the house for work and school :D I really enjoy the moving out of the lower back and turning on the muscles to pull the ribs back, I can feel this working for the rest of the day the last couple of days, which feels really good. I am hyper mobile and this conscious moving and using my muscles really helps to keep stuff in place, thanks for the excellent guidence Tim! Namaste and see you tomorrow!
Hey Eline. Are you signed up for the challenge yet? You will get an email once the video is posted. timsenesiyoga.com/consciousmovement Glad you were able to make the most of your time. See you tomorrow. Namaste
I'm in it. forgot to say that till now ;) bring on the sweet sweet challenge. I used to follow your instruction daily 7-10 years ago??? ish and now here I am again. I appreciate you Tim.
Day 4 Done! So far, my back is feeling great! The crossing knee over knee is doable but my knees don't line up right above each other. It was definitely an energizing flow. Thank, Tim. See you tomorrow!
Thanks for this Tim - I am keen to do more of this work to take the pressure off my lower back, as it feels strained when I do single leg balances (feels like too much weight /pressure on my sciatic area) - really love deepening into all of the support of my body, that you offer 😊
Thank you Tim! I'm really enjoying the challenge. I'm taking it a little slower and doing each day two - Three days before moving on. I really enjoyed today. I was able to keep up - I'm sure I'm getting stronger, but the flow today really worked for me.
The hardest working yogi on RUclips
Haha! Yes! Thanks.
Tim I really think you’re going to make us all feel 20 until we are 100. Thank you so much your classes are my body’s savior.
Nice comment! Thank you!
Thank you Tim!
My pleasure!
Awesome heart opener, my whole body was tingling!
Great to hear. Thanks Jherime.
Super practice! Thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
Love that you know when things are going to be hard…no way my knees where stacking and crossing…nope, never, nunca, nada!
Do what you are able as you able. No judgment
Loving this series and your explainations. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Just what I needed ;-) thanks! Have a lovely day
You too! Thanks Irene
Very energizing and helpful, Thank you Tim 💐
You are so welcome
Great! Thank you!
You are welcome!
I enjoyed Day 4! Thanks Tim.
Glad you enjoyed it, Jane! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Jane!
I learn so much from your videos. I feel stronger in my shoulders after this video ( usually my weakest point )
Great to hear that. Thanks Veronica.
The arm stretching lying on the back was great. Really felt it!
Great!!! 😊 Glad you liked that one, Janet!
Excellent! Thanks, Janet!
Fuzzy dog stretch was my favorite today😂❤️
Working in getting out of my lower back. Great prompts to help with that! Namaste
Ha! I mean his hair is pretty extreme right now. 😂 Glad they are helping. Namaste Denise.
Holy crap.. After doing that sitting backbend, I felt like a new person!
Nice! Stoked to hear 😀
The prep for wheel pose went better for me than it ever has in the past - your cues about the rib cage and hips really helped.
Stoked to hear!
That was very good, but I would like to ask you to constantly guide us with what should be happening to our necks - in some postures my neck takes strain and I don't always know how to adjust to push the tension elsewhere.

You're welcome Ferry.
I keep coming back to this amazing video. It unties every knot in my body in the perfect sequence. Thank you for your amazing work Tim.
You're so welcome Heather!
I'm learning so much about how the poses are supposed to feel in the body rather than how they look. It is making a world of difference for me.
So good to hear this! Thank you, Carla!
reverse plank was amazing my chest feels wonderful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad to hear Luna😊
My back and neck feel so free after that class. Thank you Tim.
Awesome. Love hearing that Nina😊
You are the best yoga teacher I've ever found on the internet. I always have strain in my lower back doing cobra. Your cues for the pelvis and ribs were so tremendously helpful and I actually felt a good stretch in my mid-back for the first time! Thank you!!!
Fantastic! you are welcome Melissa 😊
whoa...my back and triceps are stiff after this session...feels great!
Great job Vanessa! 😀
Turns out my upper back and shoulders are so locked up. That back bend was amazing, hard, but the feeling afterwards was very intense! Thanks Tim!
Thanks, Nicole!
Thank You Tim 🌹😽 I reale like the fact that now and then you joke during the practice ☺️ big kisses to Ollie from Rome 🇮🇹
Ha! I gotta keep you guys on your toes, you might get bored. Ollie is proof of that 😂
4 days in a row of yoga is beginning to feel like a good habit for the new year!
Yes! Thanks, John!
Wonderful! My back (although no issues) feels great and energized! Thank you Tim!
You're so welcome! 😀
Oh how I have missed my daily yoga practice. Thank you for doing your challenge! Lynn
Stoked to here you are back on your mat. You are welcome Lynn 😊
Wow! I have terrible lumbar pain and fear any classes with backbends, but your clear and concise class helped me to align and protect my lower back. No pain today!! Excited to engage my core and open my thoracic spine. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and love!
So wonderful to hear Keri! Excited for you to get to it. 👍
Good to see that Ollie is sticking with you. He does a great down dog!
Haha, right!? The best example of down dog around 😊
Hahaha! Yes he does! Thanks, Becky

Hi! Glad you enjoyed it & I hope so too! 😊
Love how you are breaking down the backbends, I really felt the differenc.
Great to hear Nicola!😊
Loved it! totally laughed out loud at the twerking part at the cat cow stretch. Thank you Tim! Keep doing whatchu do!

An excellent class to learn and understand ( as in most of your classes). Thanks, Tim, for sharing your knowledge, unselfishly!
You're very welcome!😀
I'm trying your 30 Day Challenge for the first time. Cobra felt different for me than it's felt before - it was a good change! I appreciate the build to the reverse plank and wheel practice.
Great job! Glad you are noticing differences Kelly.😀
Loved it thank you! I didnt realize how stiff I was! Thank you! loving the progression
You're so welcome! Glad you are feeling it 😊

It's crazy how a cue can totally change your experience with a pose or a transition! Glad it was helpful!
Great feedback and much appreciated! Thank you, Craig.
Day 4! I love how you are covering all the basis. I wish I had found this when I first started practicing!
No matter how long you have been practicing, it is always great to go back to the foundations. Thanks Carrie, glad you are enjoying the program 😊

Cool. Thanks. See you tomorrow. 😉

Glad you liked it!🙏
Thanks for this Tim - I am keen to do more of this work to take the pressure off my lower back, as it feels strained when I do single leg balances (feels like too much weight /pressure on my sciatic area) - really love deepening into all of the support of my body, that you offer 😊
Glad it's working for you. Thanks Rose
This video is amazing.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it Heather. 😊
Great practice today Tim! Thank you.

Thank you Tim! I'm really enjoying the challenge. I'm taking it a little slower and doing each day two - Three days before moving on. I really enjoyed today. I was able to keep up - I'm sure I'm getting stronger, but the flow today really worked for me.
That is awesome and what I highly recommend Debi😀
Thanks Tim, this is just what I needed.
You are welcome Vicky! Glad you are enjoying it. 😀
