I’ve been using your Pilates videos for about a year and I can’t say enough good things about your teaching and workouts. You explain the techniques and exercises so it’s easy to understand and encourage to be at your level without guilt. And I love that the workouts are 30 minutes or less. It seems very doable and it’s why I’ve stayed with these workouts for so long. I appreciate you offering these on RUclips! Thank you so much!
Really excellent gentle stretch. Your reminders to take care of ourselves and not go beyond comfort levels is priceless. Thank you and Let's Keep Moving!
I've just found you a week ago, since than I spend at the least 10 minutes with you every day. Thank you for sharing these videos, it's a life changing. :)
I woke up this morning and felt really sick. So I took a shower and streched a bit. Not only do I feel a lot better now, I also didn't feel bad about not being on your level. I really apreceate you takeing care of the way we think about our bodies. ❤
Recently discovered Pilates via RUclips and this channel. Appreciating my body rather than working out to change it is new to me, keen to keep this mindset - thank you ❤
thiss i don't need to worry abt searching for a stretch that truly for beginners because there's you who always care for beginners and making sure we are safe and you instruct clearly
Your videos are saving my life. Asiatic nerve pitched which irradiates pain on back of right leg on the hamstrings. I’m trying to do your videos everyday and it’s helping so much . Thank you 🙏
Hi I found you about two months ago and I love this video especially and do it after every workout at the gym and at home as well. Thanks for posting it! Xx
I really like this video. The stretches were really doable for someone not used to stretching. I appreciate you not making me feel bad for being at a lower level. I didn’t get each stretch perfectly but this is the beginning. Thanks!
Started with googling upper back exercises as my upper back has been painful lately and now just did this workout, kids in bed and have some time to myself. So much variety and different levels. Thanks
Your physical therapy side shines so beautifully through your Pilates style and it is really so helpful to me during such a vulnerable time. Thank you!!!!
I am so glad I found you! I have lower back and neck pain and your videos have been helping me so much to ease into movement slowly and safely! Thank you!
I so appreciate your videos. You make getting back into exercise and focusing on health so achievable! I especially love your approach to all fitness levels and your soft, caring demeanor. Thank you!!
Loved this stretching routine! I’ve only just discovered your channel and I’m really enjoying your beginners Pilates videos. Love your teaching style! Thank you! 😊
Love how you explain the techniques. Relaxing easy to follow and no pressure to do more Than what my body is capable of. Really enjoying these Jessica Valant videos ❤️
I will echo the other commenters: This was just what I needed. I am recovering from the flu, and my body feels like it's been in a boxing match. This stretching routine was just enough to loosen some of the pain and stiffness while not overdoing it.
Oh Thank You so much! You are just what I was looking for. Gentle, but quite noticeable, and love your friendly calm authentic demeanor. Will follow you more for sure! 💕💕💕
Thank you for you gentleness ❤️My body and soul needed it this morning! I just got over a week of the worst illness I have ever had and tried to jump right back into my fitness routine and was getting frustrated my body wasnt having it! So I came here and as soon as you mentioned listening to your body and where it is today…and the option you have today…brought tears to my eyes 😢 I instantly remembered that my body was at war the last week and it NEEDED some grace from me🥰 Thank you so much!
I love all your gentle classes, such good stretches.! I love mobility stretching exercises because it has helped me a lot in my growth process and also used Shiydf while exercising and grew 7 cm🌈
Thank you!! This was amazing! Will commit to doing it daily! My tight hamstrings and glutes have caused me significant back pain! Feel so much better after just one stretch!
I just lay down to sleep and saw this. Got up and did it! Wow! I’m amazingly calm & relaxed & now ready for sleep! Thank you Jessica!! I really enjoy your sessions.... they help me a lot. Thank you again!
Recently addicted to your videos. Why? Cos your breathing sound reminds me to breath. I always forget to breath when anxious. I need to stretch my body as well as learn to breath. Thank you so much！
You always always seem to know what videos I need next I always, always appreciate the great information as you are doing either workout/instructions/stretching/and testimonials/Please more of stretching routines it helps relax me for better sleep quality!👍😎❤Variety in this helps to eliminate mindlessness so it helps to get the most benefits out of routines!!There are some tips that you have given to eliminate pain to my back that I use all the time now,Appreciate that alot!!
If you have crook knees, you can do this on your bed! If you can't cross your legs, you can sit on a pillow with them straight. This helped me so much, thank you!
Jessica, I really needed this relaxing full-body stretch so much. My glutes and hamstrings are always not 100% pain-free due to my running. And recently, I feel my breathing somewhat labored or unsatisfactory for some reason. (Could it be caused by menopause or something related to lack of estrogen as I age?) At any rate, I have found this gentle full body stretch so calming and relaxing. Last but not least at all, I love your calming tone of voice so much. Thanks a million as always, Jessica.
I just found this channel and look forward to working out with you all! I have a couple injuries, though Im not sure of how they came about, one shoulder, one lower back area, so need to set the weights aside for a bit…Thank you for these, and look forward to getting healthy together 😊
this is such helpful stretch routine in between long walks - ince back to it today with a bit knee soreness which usually dint have bit found it ice agon very helpful. im goingto write it down as well and ill he addig this stretch for the spring upcoming. Thnaks for posting the helpful stretch video.
Hi Jessica. I just discovered you today. I exercise most days but I’ve been in bed for a couple of days poorly and felt tight all over. I’m older and didn’t want to do too much too soon. This was perfect to get me started again. Thank you! 🙏
