As someone with chronic Lyme, dysautonomia and chronic mental illness, your videos are so perfect for these types of illnesses and I love how you aren’t trying to push people out of their illness, but be gentle with it and just be soft and understanding- which is something people with chronic illness really need and rarely get in a world that tells us to push ourselves all the time to “get better”. It’s truly healing and so amazing what you do! Thank you for your presence online! ☺️💕
@@SantoshaSpirit aww of course!! I accidentally posted another comment because of my memory issues haha. But it’s all true! I really feel so seen doing your videos! Sending so much love and healing your way, if you need it! 💜🙏
Just started doing your bed yoga for POTS a few days ago and I just finished doing this one, and I just wanna say thank you for doing these yoga practices for people with chronic illnesses!! I’m really trying to find ways to start feeling better and to be able to live life a little more, having POTS and chronic fatigue has taken so much away from me but I don’t want it to stop me forever. So far these have helped me quite a bit 😊❤️
I would definitely see myself as Sam. He is just adventurous when he needs to be and doesn’t get himself involved in tricky situations when it isn’t necessary. He is such a generous soul and gives to those around him. I hope I could be just as good of a role model to others some day!!
I’m late to the video but just wanna say that it is SO helpful to see the little intro clips of different poses that we will be doing during the practice before I start. This Spoonie (and fellow nerd lol) thanks you very much. Sending love your way! ✨💙✨
I would be Frodo. Because, like him, I have been through quite some “quests” in life which have wounded and burdened me but have also made me wiser, more understanding and more compassionate. Plus his personality is pretty similar to mine. ☺️
oh I would definitely be a Hobbit that stayed back at the Shire. I will wait to hear the story and let the rest of them go off on their adventures while I’m cozy and well fed at home.
I am 25 with long covid for the past 18 months and have been experiencing a crash lately. I tried this today as I was feeling really down, and feel so much better, physically and mentally now. So amazing!! I actually cannot believe it. Thank you so much! Can't wait to try more of your routines.
as someone with chronic fatigue this was great, ive been laid in bed so far today and its 1.40pm but i managed to get myself up to do this for 12 minutes which was a great light exercise with breathing technique to help with my recovery, thankyou so much
Wow, I woke up feeling so exhausted, physically and emotionally, as a result of my chronic illness, but after this class I am feeling worlds better!!!!! Something about your breathing instruction made things click like never before & the intentional breaths made a huge difference in my energy!!! Thank you so so much for this wonderful class!!!!!
Sam: he is a loyal friend and enjoys being home but still is brave enough to go out to the wide world if the need arises. He doesn’t hesitate to share the things he loves (food for example) and do things that scare him to help others. He is a good role model in his courage and compassion
Love all your videos! I feel so seen as someone with dysautonomia, and Lyme and mental health issues. Your videos are perfect and sometimes exactly what I need. I hope you always know that!!
Been doing this practice for a month and finds it slowly ease my sinus pain and I feel calmer doing "ujayii" breathing Also great for my FMS since I was diagnosed years ago Thank you much for sharing this wonderful video 😊

I want to say I’d be Galadriel because she is wise and graceful, but realistically I’d probably be Rosie enjoying the hobbit life with good food, beer, and companionship in my garden or local tavern
I'm really happy I found your channel! The amount of cracks and pops my joints made when doing this the first handful of times was crazy haha. Thanks for putting your content out there for people like me who can't afford physical therapy or a yoga class! It's extremely helpful just getting those stretches and deep breathing in. ❤
I qould definitely be Frodo because he is brave and has to overcome many challenges. And I like to see my life as a hero's journey where there are challenges along the way that I have to overcome and I'm brave to face those challenge no matter how many times I fail.
I would most certainly be Gimli, possibly Pippin Took as well! Both are incredibly loyal to the ones they care for the most and I feel I am just as loyal to those that I love! I enjoy being goofy and making people laugh which I feel that both Gimli and Pippin do so well. Gimli always reminds me to never take life to seriously and to hold my own when I need to while Pippin reminds me to never let anyone or anything get me down. Both Gimli and Pippin have similar qualities that I feel I relate to the most.
I loved this class… and the mat 😍! I’m a huge fan of Tolkien and I’m trying to re-read the Silmarillon despite of brain fog 🤪 I guess I would be Sam… Ready to go anywhere if needed, but deep inside I just want to live in my nice comfy hobbit hole, with family, plants and good food 😋
I have always had a soft spot for Gollum and his mania. But, I am usually not that intense so Merry (breakfasts, friendly, lots of hair) and Gollum on rough days.
Omgosh that mat! And this class 🥰 I would be Rose Cotton, (samwise's wife). Hobbit life but I am not one for a grand adventure ;) cozy life vibes for me. I will support my boys from afar.
I would definitely be a Hobbit, probably Sam, because I love food, nature, gardening, and enjoying the simple things in life. Like all of the Hobbits, I am sometimes reluctant to go out of my comfort zone but I love it when I do. I would be Sam because of his loyalty. He is also the real hero of the story.
I practice your yoga every morning and watch the videos in rotation as you have several for Chronic Fatigue. I do them in bed shortly after I wake up. I'm just wondering what do you say at the end of the video it sounds "like have a nice day".
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the classes ☺️💞 I say “Namaste” at the end of each video. It’s a Sanskrit greeting that means “the light in me honors the light in you.” It’s a deep recognition that we are all the same and connected.
With cobra pose my stomach started to get a little fast pulse .. Intrigued to know if that is an activation alert ? Thanks My arms are a bit weak but I did it ✌🏻
I’m thinking this is a sign this pose is stimulating your sympathetic nervous system which would cause your heart rate to speed up. This is normal when we do backbends and not necessarily a bad thing. Over time it can help strengthen the resilience of the nervous system. But is it uncomfortable for you in any way? Do you feel lightheaded? Do you feel pressure in your head? Do you have POTS or any other kind of dysautonomia? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then I would recommend avoiding this pose.
@@SantoshaSpirit my head was fine, it was just a rather intense pulse in the lower stomach area. I found it interesting and feel it was helpful. thanks 🙂

I know I'd like to be Galadriel to be immune to illness. That would be pretty cool. She's also very capable and graceful.

i said the same thing!! i love sam!!
I would love to be Eowyn, brave and strong, but I guess I would end up as one of the hobbit-lasses who stays in Shire 😊
I always come to this on stormy days as an alternative to a walk x
Love all your videos! I feel so seen as someone with dysautonomia, and Lyme and mental health issues. Your videos are perfect and sometimes exactly what I need. I hope you always know that!!
Can you make one to wind down for bed! And to calm mind!
Been doing this practice for a month and finds it slowly ease my sinus pain and I feel calmer doing "ujayii" breathing
Also great for my FMS since I was diagnosed years ago
Thank you much for sharing this wonderful video 😊
Hi! I would be Legolas because my wife says I resemble him when I had long hair.

This was lovely for a morning when I really needed to be gentle with myself. Thank you!
This was a perfect practice for my chronic fatigue!

the moment you said middle earth yoga I bout came unglued. I'm SUCH a LOTR fan lol
RIGHT?! And they have a new mat now that has Smaug on it! It’s so pretty 🤩
I qould definitely be Frodo because he is brave and has to overcome many challenges. And I like to see my life as a hero's journey where there are challenges along the way that I have to overcome and I'm brave to face those challenge no matter how many times I fail.
Thank you ❤
probably Legolas; he was my fav as a kid/ teen and I thought the bow and arrow was pretty cool. He would be like an alter ego for me.
Pls drop where you gor your yoga mat its amazing

Thank you for the video, helped me calm down💜 beautiful yogamat😍 i would be arwen, she may look fragile, but she have a warrior heart ✨
I have always had a soft spot for Gollum and his mania. But, I am usually not that intense so Merry (breakfasts, friendly, lots of hair) and Gollum on rough days.
I’m Samwise Gamgee… a true and loyal friend 🥰 beautiful mats!!! I enjoy your videos and they help me cope with fibromyalgia and IC pain …TY 💕
Nice ❤😊
I'd be Merry because...second breakfast!
Omgosh that mat! And this class 🥰
I would be Rose Cotton, (samwise's wife). Hobbit life but I am not one for a grand adventure ;) cozy life vibes for me. I will support my boys from afar.
I'd like to to think I could be frodo and go on an adventure

Like all of the Hobbits, I am sometimes reluctant to go out of my comfort zone but I love it when I do. I would be Sam because of his loyalty. He is also the real hero of the story.
I would be Merry or Pippin because I, too, would like to have second breakfast and befriend some old ass talking trees.
Is this classed as somatic yoga? Thanks
I would be legolas...the hot blonde 😂

I would be Gimli because I too am very dangerous over short distances and have a thing for tall willowy blokes
I would be Sam. He likes food (perhaps too much) and is loyal beyond belief which describes me even if my friend gets sent to Mount Doom.
I would be one of the Ent women that abandoned all the men Ents before the saga begins because I couldn’t deal with their patriarchal bs 😂
