I have never found instructions that include understanding that it can be difficult for some of us to do the moves at first. Showing us how to do little "until you get better" steps like using blocks is amazing. The most helpful is just the way you explain things with explicit detail as you show us what to do. I am a little hampered by my autism so many videos that just tell me what to do with no "how" are incomprehensible to me. Your channel is a heaven of a find for me and I will be sharing my happiness with it on FB with all my friends and family :)
The Lateral Tilt stretch is a GAMECHANGER for me!!! There are muscles in my shoulders I have been struggling to find stretches for... I almost started crying from relief a second ago when I felt that one stretch hit ALL OF THEM 🎉🥳
Just wanted to say thank you. I'm male, will be 50 next year and I stay in shape. I'm pretty flexible but it can be difficult to maintain. Your videos have been instructional in helping me go further, stay disciplined and remain flexible. Much appreciated
I love this channel! I feel less shame trying to hit yoga poses, knowing that not everyone might be able to hit that, there's always a better alternative. Thanks so much!
I love yoga, you always do what you can. It shouldn't hurt. There are older videos from VHS days that show three levels. Those are my fav if I can find them. I'm 64. Still trying to stay flexible.
OMG! The bending your legs for hamstring one is LIFECHANGING! I was trying to find it to send it to someone and it me awhile, it totally deserves its own video!
I never knew the importance of these stretches until got my heels became so sore I could barely walk. Turns out it was planter fasciitis . These exercises made a huge difference from the first day. Thank you so much.
I have a HUGE request for you: Can you make a video: "How to: Pancake?" There are countless videos about exercises like "Cossack Squats" or "Standing Pancake", which I can easily do if done correctly. But when I'm down on the ground, just sitting on a straddle, the adductors immediately go into painful protective tension, even though I've been specifically training the adductors for months. Thank you very much for your sooooo valuable work. Thanks to you, I managed to cross the bridge for the first time. ✌
I rate this channel highly - I like to think I have worked with some very good yoga teachers in the gym, but the explanations on here make a lot of sense. One in particular I liked was regarding the sciatic nerve glide as opposed to just keep concentrating on the hamstrings. The grimacing and poor posture to highlight poses done badly also looks very similar to how I feel much of the time!
I truly love how you connect human physiology and kinesiology to yoga!!! As well as what poses we can do, with some modifications, to help ourselves Thank you!! ❤
I love your videos, Liv! Another great one, with your visuals, scientific explanation and lovely infectious positivity your channel is one of my faves.
This video felt like it was made for me. The first stretch is always impossible until your way of getting into it changed everything for me. I now do it everyday and can see the progress. Thank you. I’m going to start your 21 day challenge.
The Golden during the last stretch instruction was priceless. Thank you for this video, and since I am on the topic, that last stretch for the foot is a game changer. You are a wonderful instructor with amazing visual aids. I am thrilled I found your channel.
I absolutely love your enthusiasm and positive vibe. You might be surprised just how inflexible a 50+ year old male body can be. I can get to step 2, at the most, of any of your instructions, but it has given me a good solid laugh at myself. I'll start with some simpler stretches for now and revisit your video in the future. Thank you for this uplifting video.
Thank you so much for this video! You explained everything so well. And definitely helped me figure out better ways to stretch without hurting my back.
Ur motivational and victorious smile at the end of every exercise keeps me going to achieve the same! You are simply the VERY BEST!!! Thank you for each clarifying, step by step explanation and the pictures of each muscle/s involved in the exercise. Visualizing what is involved makes it so much easier to accomplish. 💪🙏
Can you make mobility videos for morning stretching, evening stretching, and workout stretching. Your information is great, and there is a lot of it. It is hard to navigate as to what stretches are best, and it is easy to follow along with routines Thanks so much for what you do!
Cannot applaud this enough. Amazing. I have struggled with pain originating from tight glute med & this stretch is fantastic, I immediately tried all of them - so effective, what a great video, thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank-you these are some truly underated stretches that specifically target my already existing injuries such as my tight glute flairing up, a proper external rotation stretch for your scapular that doesn't involve a stick and the plantar fascia stretch for the toes which tighten up while skateboarding, I really really appreciate this content, thank-you!
Half of Garuda Asana or Eagle stretch is fantastic for the shoulders. Similarly, Gomukha Asana or Cowface is an exceptional stretch in traditional yoga. Thanks for sharing this here with such clarity
Hi Liv! First stretch was perfect! The lateral tilt though I don’t seem to have the flexibility to get into. Is there an adjustment or beginner version of this?
I don't usually agree with videos like this. But the glute medius focus of the cow stretch, immediately felt great on my tight glute medius on the one side and comfortable on the non tight side. Then you reminded me of the eagle arms pose, which I haven't done for a while because I forgot it. Told me how to use it for the supraspinatus, which is damaged, and needs work. Fantastic stuff.
Found that it has helped me doing the supine assisted by crossing my right leg towards my left shoulder, like a cross over. I am approaching 50 years and have decided to be more flexy than ever. My back is better than before because I torrure my lega, keeping my back straight while tying my shoes, and so forth.
I had been inactive for so long, some of my fascia got stuck, and I needed the help of a certified Rolfing therapist to help me unstick it. It was life changing!
Thank you for this explanation and how-to. You give me so much homework! I'm slowly working thru a severe IT Band/Piriformis/SI Joint/hip flexor/fascia (yes, the fasica too!) problem and ready for the next level that I believe your channel will provide.
It would be lovely to see some advice/exercise routines for people who have hypermobility. We find it extra difficult to stretch and can do ourselves a lot more damage trying. But we need to strengthen muscles around joints to protect them and it's difficult to find relaible online exercises we can do from home.
Fabulous channel!! I watched you do the cow face stretch and thought ‘ah yeah, how hard can that be’ 😅😅😅 Turns out - VERY hard haha. Thank you, will now make a habit of doing these.
Wow, I’m impressed 🤩flexibility of my body really needs to be improved. Thanx for this super useful video! You are so beautiful..I’m in love with your eyes😍😍
Thank you! I am a yoga teacher and I use your advice in my classes! Your exercises are very effective! I work with older women, they have excellent results! With love from the north of Russia.🌹🌹🌹
Loved your video ❤ Easy stretching ideas given me more options to help when I struggle with Yoga/motivation/Flexibility. Made it seem more achievable. RUclips is amazing with Home work out ideas but nt being very flexible makes yoga/pilates alot harder. Gaining strength & flexibility will make it more enjoyable & actually make progress so this is just perfect for me ☺ Thank you!!
This last stretch instantly stopped a nagging back pain, THANK YOU! I tried to click your website link but didn't work, I was wondering if you offered online beginner Yoga classes and a suggestion for an Indian Yoga retreat around June/July this year. Thanks, Andre
Excellent presentations of how-to-heal-from-sitting-work. Thank you very much. As a non-biologist it would be easier to follow your words, when the body pictures are in the main role in time (not the speaking head). So more time-in-the-air for muskles and bones etc.
@livinleggings I love to learn about all things musculoskeletal & you taught me in this video with ease & full clarity, fantastic content - thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏- I will now proceed to binge watch the rest of your videos lol 🥳🥳🥳
I had siatica (sp) so bad I was dying!! Every step was so painful! I started doing morning and evening stretches and gone!! Now I hope these added to my daily routine will help my planter fasciitis!! I’ve had so many shots and no relief I work too much to have the surgery!! Im gonna start now!! 💕

I recently found this channel, trying to make my body more flexible. What can I say is that this channel is pure gold 👌
literally, i fell in lovee
I love it
❤
Totally agree. Just found out, that my tightest muscle is named GLUTEUS MEDIUS! And there is something so simple, loosen it😅
That dog on the bed is living his best life 😂
💯Wandered to the comments 2 mins into the video to say the same thing 😂 🐾 ❤
This is what I was just about to write 😅😅😅
He is dead .. it's just his skin nd fur.. poor dog they didn't send him free 😑 with his soul .
Wow you@@danielzimnermann2350 mood breaker
That dog looks sooooo comfy lol
The Lateral Tilt stretch is a GAMECHANGER for me!!! There are muscles in my shoulders I have been struggling to find stretches for... I almost started crying from relief a second ago when I felt that one stretch hit ALL OF THEM 🎉🥳
Wowwww your cow face and tilted eagle are actually lifechanging 👏🏻 Definitely sat in those poses for a couple mins each, it helped so much!
Just wanted to say thank you. I'm male, will be 50 next year and I stay in shape. I'm pretty flexible but it can be difficult to maintain. Your videos have been instructional in helping me go further, stay disciplined and remain flexible. Much appreciated

I just happened to watch this video after having a rather depressing day, and just watching this video made me feel 100% better. Thank you! 😊
Watching it made you feel better? Bit perverted. You're meant to do the exercise
I never knew the importance of these stretches until got my heels became so sore I could barely walk. Turns out it was planter fasciitis . These exercises made a huge difference from the first day. Thank you so much.

That dog is me watching this video right now. 😂😂😂
Amazing video, thank you for sharing ❤
My biggest struggle are with my ankles. Could you do a video about ankle mobility, please? 😅
These are great. I'm naturally really flexible and the "standard" way sometimes just doesn't cut it. Each of these hit the mark. Thanks!
The Golden during the last stretch instruction was priceless. Thank you for this video, and since I am on the topic, that last stretch for the foot is a game changer. You are a wonderful instructor with amazing visual aids. I am thrilled I found your channel.
just the exercises i was looking for. would be great a full 30 min video of a routine :D thanks
You are an excellent speaker and your delivery is great. You can engage your audience or at least me. Plantar fascia info is mind blowing!

I discovered new stretch pain from this examples. So helpfull! Thank you!
Can you make mobility videos for morning stretching, evening stretching, and workout stretching. Your information is great, and there is a lot of it. It is hard to navigate as to what stretches are best, and it is easy to follow along with routines Thanks so much for what you do!
that would be really helpful.
I love your excellent explanations and examples, but I'm going to have to watch it all over again because I keep watching your very relaxed doggy. :)
You exude joy and happiness. Even if I didn’t need to stretch I think I’d watch your videos just for a pick me up.
Cannot applaud this enough. Amazing. I have struggled with pain originating from tight glute med & this stretch is fantastic, I immediately tried all of them - so effective, what a great video, thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Loved this video...the eagle variations are awesome needed those, glad to see someone preaching about the power of rolling out the feet
Love your teaching style!❤
My shoulders and feet are grateful. TYSM
OMG you are SUCH A GOOD TEACHER! Thank you so much. You have helped me so much already!👏🏻👏🏻
Love the dog being busy napping in a fitness video 😂🎉
The cow face stretch is amazing thank you
You make things so approachable and I love your manner
Thank-you these are some truly underated stretches that specifically target my already existing injuries such as my tight glute flairing up, a proper external rotation stretch for your scapular that doesn't involve a stick and the plantar fascia stretch for the toes which tighten up while skateboarding,
I really really appreciate this content, thank-you!
A fantastic video! Very instructive in regards to technique with a clear explanation as to why these particular stretches are so good for mobility🙌👌
I love how you explain everything
Fascinating video, super informative too. Looking forward to adding these to my regular yoga sequences. Thank you x
You and your videos are simply the best I found for stretching and mobility. Thank you so much for your work ❤
Just found your channel and love all the details on different stretches!!
Half of Garuda Asana or Eagle stretch is fantastic for the shoulders. Similarly, Gomukha Asana or Cowface is an exceptional stretch in traditional yoga. Thanks for sharing this here with such clarity
Wow. Such great stretches. Thanks for taking the time to do these. Your site is very under appreciated
This is some real quality Content! for free! Immediately subscribed!
Great video, love the way you explain and demonstrate everything . Many thanks 🙏🏻
Wow!!! This was amazing!! Such good information! 👌 and the way you explain is so easy to understand 🙏
I will start tomorrow with these stretches!
How are they going one month in?
Brilliant video Liv 🙏 I live with MS & as such many flexibility issues. But this vid is top. 😊
Short, informative, regression, progression. Great video! Thanks.
Absolutely transformative, so thank you. Please add a number for each move (roughly how many times for beginner) or time (to hold each pose). 🙏
This is the best channel for explaining and instructing the correct way to complete or consider these exercises. Thanks Liv.

Thank you for your detailed instructions. About how long should I hold each pose?
So good. Been having shoulder issues for a couple of weeks and tilted eagle
Has really helped. Thanks so much.
Amazing stretches I'd never heard of!
Thanks, Liv. I didn't realize that foot fascia made such a difference.
Very informative well explained and demonstrated thank you
Wow! Great stretches, just what i need!
I had been inactive for so long, some of my fascia got stuck, and I needed the help of a certified Rolfing therapist to help me unstick it. It was life changing!
Wow, I am fully relaxed now!
Thank you!
When I grow up I want to be like your dog!! Contented!!
Incredible content! GOLD!!! Thank you so much for creating this content & sharing it with the world!
Good work Livin, Merry Christmas.
Thank you for this explanation and how-to. You give me so much homework! I'm slowly working thru a severe IT Band/Piriformis/SI Joint/hip flexor/fascia (yes, the fasica too!) problem and ready for the next level that I believe your channel will provide.
Hi Love your stretches and your channel keep them coming
Liv, you really are the best out there. Thank you for all your content.
Week #4! Ready!
Wow, that gave me a really good stretch for my hypermobile joints. Most stretches don't work for my joints but this did. Thanks
Ok, the sleepy pup on the bed, adorable! Thanks for the stretches!
Livingleggings is amazing. I wish I had her knowledge and ability. She sort of makes me feel bad about myself. But the content is gold.
Really nice and smiley and speaks really well. Thank you.
Really gonna use this tips to see if I can get back my splits since I had an injury in my hamstring ... Thanks a lot !
It would be lovely to see some advice/exercise routines for people who have hypermobility. We find it extra difficult to stretch and can do ourselves a lot more damage trying. But we need to strengthen muscles around joints to protect them and it's difficult to find relaible online exercises we can do from home.

Thank you, will now make a habit of doing these.
Thank you Liv ❤️ You are helping us so much with your videos to understand and accept our body :)
Brilliant. I love this explanation. Very motivating. Thank you

OMG! 3 & 4 stretches are for me too! Thank you sooooo much xx
Brilliant, eternal gratitude !
Very helpful, you are so generous and professional, thank you so much❤
This just revealed many deficiencies in my flexibility. Great video! BTW, any advice for men trying these stretches and being somewhat muscular???
This last stretch instantly stopped a nagging back pain, THANK YOU! I tried to click your website link but didn't work, I was wondering if you offered online beginner Yoga classes and a suggestion for an Indian Yoga retreat around June/July this year. Thanks, Andre
Thank you for your great video! 🌞
This was a great video! The new stretches feel great! Thank you

This is Gold.
I love when you simulate pain to demonstrate hahaha it’s so funny ❤ thank you for the wonderful content, excited to put this in practice
Bravo. Thank you from Australia 🌷
Thanks so much ! is perfect explanation….my body love it
@livinleggings I love to learn about all things musculoskeletal & you taught me in this video with ease & full clarity, fantastic content - thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏- I will now proceed to binge watch the rest of your videos lol 🥳🥳🥳
I was somewhat premature with my previous comment and question. I just saw the other video you referenced and that pretty much answered my question.
I had siatica (sp) so bad I was dying!!
Every step was so painful!
I started doing morning and evening stretches and gone!!
Now I hope these added to my daily routine will help my planter fasciitis!!
I’ve had so many shots and no relief
I work too much to have the surgery!!
Im gonna start now!! 💕
