- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- A 25 Minute class to help mobilize the neck, shoulders, and upper back. This class gets into the subtle body and the energetic significance of what we're addressing with the upper back or thoracic spine.
I really felt this in the back and the shoulders, very nice session. Did this in the dark at 5:30am, in Canada its -4C and cloudy - think we will get some snow today. Shout out to those around the world doing this challenge! Thank you Tim and Ollie, see you tomorrow 😊
Hello from Madison, WI. That's a good time of day to do yoga, especially in the winter!
@@paragozar 😊🙏
Thank you. See you!
👍
I love how you are showing a wider range than the usual vinyasa and difficult classes. This is easy enough for beginners to start to make yoga a habit.
Great to hear. Thanks
This is by far my best session in this series so far.
Awesome. Thanks
Thanks Tim, very good session. You are a great teacher. Namaste 🙏🏼
Thank you. Namaste
Day 9 already ... I love the way this flow makes my back and shoulders feel afterwards, computer work is killing my back. Thank you Tim and Ollie (heartwarming how he looked at you at one point) 😊
Aww. Thanks
I especially appreciated the explanations of our chakra, emotions and thoughts.....very interesting 🙃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great teachings today Tim! I liked how you generally talked about the chakras and the heart being balanced at the center of the emotional lower and cognitive upper…provided me with some visualizations during the practice 😊
Awesome. Thanks
You always teach me something new Tim- I hadn’t connected hip openers with thoracic mobility- so helpful!
Happy to help!
Thank you! I also love the variety and the teachings along the way. Awesome way to start the day!
Cool. Thanks
Great flow Tim. I'm loving your "choose your adventure" format - I alternate between a breathwork and a flexibility session every day, and also between the guided and the silent shavasana. It's really working for me, Thanks so much.
Sounds great!
it is rare to find a practice that opens up the upper body as this one did. Thank you, Tim!
You're very welcome!
This was one of my favorite classes so far in the challenge, can't say why. Actually, they've all been really good, just enjoying the whole experience. Thanks again Tim.
Thanks for the nice feedback
Great day on the mat! I missed yesterday due to meeting and other commitments but great to continue. This is the longest I’ve done the challenge consistently instead of sprinkling it in with my other workouts. Started with one of my inspirational niece @goodlifebygrace core workouts followed by Day 9 and repeated day 5 and sauna. The best feeling in the world is your first down dog of the day. Thank you for this! 🎉❤
So good to hear it. Thanks Jill
Thanks Tim, what an amazing class! For me the most surprising bodily response was how psoas and quads were shaking when up on my knees and leaning back. Wow! I learned something there. Thanks again, you rock
So good to hear it!
I’ve been with you every day this year and here we are on Day 9! I’ve be adding the extra mobility/stretching afterwards. Loving it! Thanks, Tim!
Glad you're loving it
Thanks for this Tim!!!!! My back had a lot of tension and was very right from 7-8 hours of computer work yesterday. I feel MUCH more open and aligned and my neck much more relaxed. Keep up the good work!!!
Great to hear!
Hi Tim, back feels great after this sequence! Loving the challenge, now time for the Day 5 stretch routine👍🏼 Thanks Tim🙏🏽
Good to hear
Thank you from Canada! I’ve loved all your challenges, but I think that this one is my new favourite!!
Great. Thanks Catherine
I've been doing yoga for 25 years, but this is my first time doing a 30-day challenge. Wow. I am discovering it is a wonderful way to grow my yoga skills and flexibility. I see progress that I haven't seen in years even after day 9! Thank you, Tim. Also, I love your jokes and little hints into the metaphysical elements of the yoga practice - it's just a little here and there, so just the right amount!
You're welcome and thanks for then ice comments!
This was a really great session to start my day here in Australia at 5am. Definitely some new and different poses that really helped mobilise my spine today. Thank you Tim & Ollie🧘♀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Tim! I love heart openers. Namaste.
You're most welcome! Namaste
This felt so good on my back! Thank you Tim have a great week and see you tomorrow!
Thanks Eleonore
Very opening without being stressful .
Nice. Thanks
I really need this thank you. You really get into all the right places and make it so clear to follow. I have a painful curvature in my spine and this has eased it. ❤
So glad to hear it was helpful. Thank you
This felt so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your home practice. I have a chocolate doodle on my mat too.
Nice! Glad you liked the session. Thank you
thank you again Tim, now i’m ready for the day 🙏🏾 ❤ namaste
Cool. Thanks Trevor
There was a lot of cracking and popping from my back and shoulders…clearly needed this to open everything up. Thank Tim 🙏🏻
You're welcome Katherine. Thank you
Just what I needed today. My back was tightening and spasming the last 2 days, this really helped.
Glad it helped
Great flow for an open start into a new week! I have to say, some poses on Dayy 8+9 felt different, better, aligned and more relaxed when I started to breath "better" ... Thank you, Tim, for surprising me/us every day!
Great. Thank you
I've never heard the chakras described in those two categories: feeling below the heart and thinking above the heart. It makes so much sense and is so much easier to remember now - thanks! - Ray
You got it. Thanks Ray
This was my favourite class so far. I'm a couple of days behind, but this is my second time hitting this sequence. I'm working on release from a pinched nerve in my L4-5 area, and I felt really good after those rolling up and down with the upper back bends.
Good to hear that!
Thank you again Tim for an amazing class and your humour, I really feel it helps me sometimes to remind myself not to take myself too seriously and actually have fun with yoga, I find myself laughing out loud with you, and at times I really need that. You are an amazing instructor that guides each class with purpose. Thanks again!
Thank you Stephanie
What an incredible session. This class will be one I do a few times. Muscle groups focused on were incredibly stiff but felt great to stretch it out.
Awesome. Good to hear
Tremendous improvement in my plank. Great session. I always wondered about yoga for the back plane of the body. This session covered that perfectly. Thank you.
Great Thanks
So sublte but so significant to open areas that I have not stretched and breathed into I think ever in this manner. Great Session! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you Tim, short and sweet!
👍
So glad I found this channel, been running through different yoga teachers on RUclips and finding your channel was phenomenal for my mental!! Thanks bro
You're welcome and welcome to the channel
LOVED this class today Tim - thank you x
Glad you loved it. Thank you.
I needed this today - thank you!!
You're welcome
just what I needed today Tim - amazing. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Great stretches again. My lower back and shoulders felt great after this. On my mat in Canada, snowing and right at zero degrees.
Glad it was good for you
I am loving the 30 day challenge, you are an amazing teacher Tim. Sending much love from Spain!
Thank you and so glad you're enjoying it.
This challenge has been the perfect level and sessions are a perfect length to do daily as we return to work from holidays. Such a great way to build or return to this habit. Thank you!
You got it Thanks
The best yoga practices with Tim!!! 🦋
Thank you!
I loved this shorter but oh so informative and helpful practice! Thank you so much!
You're welcome Thanks Jennifer
Thanks for today's class. Taking some time to work on backbends is always useful for me. I tend to hurt my lower back a lot and focusing on opening my heart and bending from my upper back really helps protect my lower back. Day 9 completed! See you tomorrow!
Good to hear. Thanks
This video has been such a treasure for me, thank you so much for the detailed guidance - balancing the anatomy with the yoga philosophy. This video, paired with my meditation practice, has helped me realize how much chronic tension has been stored in my back and a process for gently exploring it and establishing a new posture and way of breathing. I can’t wait to see where these videos take me next!
Awesome! Thank you
Casey and Nora from Boulder, Co. Back to school today and we both had a rotten nights' sleep; your class at 5am was exactly what we needed. Thank you!
Good to hear!
Oh gosh! My shoulders and buttocks really needed these! They are silently yelling "thaaaank youuuu"! 🙏
Hahaha! Thanks
Thank you for this session, Tim. The heart openers were just what I needed today. The half splits were quite a challenge for me though.
You're welcome and thank you
Thank you, Tim! I pretty flexible after Day 9. Need to work on turning my hands backwards more but great session, as usual. I was sweating after this one too. Finished with guided corpse pose, which was the most relaxed I have felt yet! And, added the 10 minute stretch! Yes! Thanks man!
Nice. Thanks for the feedback Brett. Glad it's working for you
Thanks Tim! Great way to start my day.
Great and good to hear. Thanks Brandon.
My first-ever, first-thing-in-the-morning flow. It was a great way to start the day.
Great Thanks
Thank you, Tim! You are one of my favourite yoga teacher in youtube.😊
Wow, thank you!
Thanks Tim, this is a great series.
Glad you like it.
Excellent class-as always! Many thanks!
You're so welcome
Great session again today, thanks for all the inspiration and perfect explanation, Tim! Very much appreciate what you do for us 🙏🏻 Namaste 🙏🏻
You're welcome. Namaste
Just about to start my Day 9 class with Tim- 06:15 am here in Devon UK !
Just finished mine, 8 am in Scotland!
👍
👍
Great session! Love the way you take your
Lessons.
👍
I dreamed I had great shoulder muscles due to this challenge. Talk about visualization! Hip lift in seated back-bend almost impossible - an inch if that with kneeling. The hands behind the head roll really opened up my forward bends. Interesting class. Thanks Tim!🙏
You're so welcome
Always love the heart openers! Thanks Tim!
Glad you love 'em
another wonderful session and a great feeling afterwards. thanks for that.
You're so welcome
Thank you Tim! Feeling more open today with my back, chest and heart!! Have a great day everyone!!!
You're welcome!
This felt AMAZING. Along with the diaphragm breath work this was a very well-needed opener for my chest and upper back.Thanks Tim!
So good to hear
Yes. It's chilly here in the big C. All the morning reason to start the day with a centering and rejuvenating morning practice. Thanks, Tim. Think I'm back on track with the practice.
Great to hear it.
Day 9, still here and enjoying every moment of it! Thank you Tim!
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh, my body really resonated with these poses!
Nice to hear. Thanks
Thanks for this practice. I enjoyed the extra stretching. I kept coming back to my breath and trying to remember to breathe from my diaphragm.
Cool. Thanks
After a bit of a snowboarding slam, my shoulder and upper back are feeling super stiff and a bit sore. This session was just so damn good to slowly open up the various swollen bit back there, breathe some life back into it all. Thanks 🙏
Glad to hear it helped.
Love to open heart from the back. I realized it and experienced for the first time today. Thank you 💓
Awesome. Thanks
Still here albeit a couple of days behind. Starting to understand relaxing into the stretches. Amazing as you exhale how you can go a bit further than you thought possible. Big thanks to you Tim for doing this course.
Thanks Martin
Good morning, Sandra from Cypress, I love this practice. My neck and shoulders are totally opened up. I started my practice at 3:15 AM.
Awesome. Thanks
Thank you for the lesson, amazing feelings after it!
You're welcome! Glad it worked for you.
Feeling good, what a lovely way to start the day. Thanks Tim.
You're so welcome

That last chest opener was really intense!
😉
Really enjoyed this Tim. Thanks. I am two days behind due to work commitments but will continue your great practices
You got it. Thanks
Got caught a few days behind from having the flu, so every part of my body was stiff. I'm definitely feeling a little looser and more mobile now after this practice!
OK. Feel better!
Another day around here thank you Tim

Had to do some modifications today with my aging knees, but I liked the practice. Stretches felt great. Practicing more with the breath work. All good!
