    Sometimes I wonder if a 30-minute stretch is really worth it, but when I follow along, I realise that the entirety of the video and the long holds of all the stretches is exactly what works magic. Thank you so much! I was very sore from lifting weights yesterday and this video worked like a miracle. My body feels AMAZING! Thanks again :)

    The no rush in between stretching your soft calming voice makes all the difference for me! Thanks, Jessica, you're doing a great job!

    I've been away from yoga for about 15 years so wanted something gentle to bring me back. I found it! Slow, deep, conscious. And the very quiet music in the background is lovely. Enjoy many different videos with you as my body readjusts.

    Thank you for this! Being disabled-I had my leg amputated three years ago-and having to move differently than I used to, using different muscles to move, my back and shoulders are always tight and painful. After following you through this practice for the first time, my back already feels looser and less painful.

    Loved this class for my shoulders, feel like a new person physically and feel so calm mentally. You're still my favorite yoga instructor on youtube after searching for videos for more than 6 years; love that you incorporate new poses so I discover something every video, and make me feel like every class has been a meditation!

    This practice made me teary today (I store and am trying to release a lot of sadness from my mid back to the base of my head). Jessica, I have been doing a range of your videos over the past month, and I have to tell you, I am so grateful. Your pace, your voice, your guidance is so wonderful. Thank you.

  • @ln1299
    @ln1299 4 года назад +4

    You are my new fave online yoga teacher. The pacing is just right and you are easy to understand. I had a migraine yesterday and bad back and neck pain. This was exactly what I needed to get back in touch with my body and ease the tension. I work from home full time and just started grad school online full time. I will be revisiting this a lot. The strain of computer work all day is real.

  • @AmandaWilliams-gl5gn

    Usually I come into a yoga class with the intention of softening the body and relieving tension, but today the big thing for me was how my mood changed! I came into this class a little mopey after a long day yesterday, but now I feel refreshed and ready to take on the day :)

  • @melss94ish
    @melss94ish 4 года назад +3

    I pulled a muscle in my upper back a few days ago which led to a very cranky pinched nerve. I haven't been able to move my neck or shoulders very much for almost 4 days. I decided to give this video a try to see if I could relieve any of the tension and pain. And trust me when I say that I feel like a whole new woman! Not only do I feel calm and relaxed, but I have so much more mobility and way less pain! Thank you so much! Namaste

    Hi Jessica! I've been doing this video for around 2+ weeks now..
    2 weeks ago my neck down to my lower back was soooo stiff my head could barely face all directions. It was hard to move and to sleep on certain positions.
    After a massage on Sunday 2 weeks ago, and doing this yoga for the whole week until today... my neck and back are not bothering me anymore 💛💛 it's completely fine! 🤗
    Thanks to you 💛

    I’ve tried this practice a few times to relieve tension headaches and it works every time. As long as I have enough energy to get myself out of bed and to the mat, I can know this will do the trick. Thank you so much for making this available and offering it for free on RUclips, you are a healer!!

    Thank you for this practice! I'm very anxious recently after breaking up with my girlfriend. We broke up because of my childhood trauma stress became overwhelming for both of us and nothing could satisfy me and relieve my pain and anxiety. Now I realize that if I don't heal what hearts me I will bleed on someone who didn't cut me. Feel so sorry about it now.
    Your videos help me a LOT. This one was uploaded on June 2 and it's my birthday heheee ^^ All love, all the power

    I tried one of your restorative practices and I do it after my walk in the morning - I have a lot going on health wise and I love that my body isn’t exhausted when I’m finished or doing postures I can’t really do yet - I also love that you tell us how we can modify our posture if we do want more of a stretch. I’m super excited for this upper body because that is my trouble area - I can barely raise my arms above my head because I have a ton of holding in my shoulders...thank you for this!!! I will be adding this video to my day! Also your voice is really nice...not too chipper, not too breathy, not over annunciated...just right!!!
