I did this as a recovery from a difficult run this morning, and it was exactly what I needed! I appreciate how gentle it was :)
That final decompression pose with the block underneath the sacrum gave me a new life 💖
I can't believe my lucky star today when I "accidentally" came across this beautiful practice. I loved both the sequence (I just wish it was double the length...), your voice and words and the captivating aesthetics, especially the popping texts. Please keep up the great work!
hi! I'm a pro ballerina and this yoga class was absolutely what my body was asking for after a long day of classes and rehearsals! loved it and will come back for sure! thank you
Thanks for the awesome feedback! We're glad you found it helpful. 🙌
I love this for my recovery days - I cannot recommend this workout enough especially for people who are new to yoga
We're so happy you've found this to be useful for those ever-so-important recovery days.
Perfect yoga session I was looking for this morning. Straight, to the point, and not stretched out no pun intended. Thank you!
Thank you. this was a nicely paced, achievable and effective routine for a “Stiff“ guy like me to start his focus on a mobility journey. Calming and relaxing as well.
We love hearing this Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.🙂
I found these classes because I saw Elena on Just Move and looked her up, and now I do them most afternoons - there's something really calming and mindful about Elena's teaching, the movement she picks and the music! Inky is also the best. I was worried there weren't going to be more classes but I dug around Instagram and can see there's more coming, and I'm SO PLEASED. This one is my particular favourite!
This is a fantastic series. Another one I can use to help my running induced poorly hamstrings. Great, calm direction from Elena. Really appreciate the work thats gone in to this 👍
We're happy to be part of your routine now! Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching.
Long time cyclist and runner who always neglected this aspect of my fitness and wellness. I love Elena's routines to help me recover first thing in the morning after a tough workout the day before.
That's awesome to hear Jonathan! Glad you enjoyed.
Great recovery routine! Thanks REI and Elaine for making it available!
Oh my gosh, this is exactly what I needed after yesterdays long and strenuous hike - it was my first one after being out of commission for a couple of years and I am in serious recovery mode right now. The hip stretch she did early on was like everything!
Yay top 16 and top 2 likes and comments. Love this channel.
🙌😀
We love you!
Elena is such a great teacher! Hope we see more of her in the future
Please keep making this videos. I like also the music a lot at the way you made it all :)
I’m three weeks into my return to exercising and this video has been VITAL to my recovery days! It’s the most relaxing flow and that hip variation is LUSCIOUS. I live for it every time it comes up. Thanks, Elena and REI, for the great video!
This is gold through the years!! just amazing
Always fun to see and hear you again. Thanks Laurie
Loved this, great flow and your pup sealed it for me! ❤
Great recovery session after a long active week. I often go too hard and treat hatha yoga like a sport, and get too bored during yin yoga. This was the perfect balance.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!🙂👍
Thank you Elena 🤗
Great class Elena! The instructions were clear and the graphics/audio tones helped. Also gotta love a yoga dog.
Great practice! Thank you.
Great class!
This was such an incredible class. I love your calm, yet knowledgeable energy.
Thank you so much for this Elena💖
I thoroughly enjoy this
I love this class, and between this and your daily vitamin flow I can do either and I love them!!!❤
even though I can't physically do many of the "moves", I still found aspects that were helpful.
Glad you found it helpful Heidi!
So glad to hear! Continue listening to your body, and find what works for you. Thanks for tuning in!
Thoroughly enjoyed - and I *am a pro athlete. Was looking for some mid-week recovery yoga and stumbled upon this. I do enjoy yin for the stretch out but this was interesting as it felt like it started out as yin and then went into a bit of flow. Loved the pop-up graphics, found the breathing one quite calming. Sometimes a bit skeptical when the views are in the thousands but this was a pleasant surprise. Elena, you could do with your own yoga channel if you don't already have one?
Loved it! Looking forward to add this to my morning yoga routine
Let me know how you like it!
Exactly what I needed! This was vert restorative and I know I’ll be back
My favorite part intellectually was when you let me know the rocking in and out of the low lunge thing was nerve flossing. Thanks!
Wow this has been my favorite internet practice so far thank you! :)
This is so great. As an average Joe, I love this for my bedtime wind down routine. Thank you so much!!
That's a great idea Ruby!😀
Looking forward to trying this out!
Yay! Let me know how you feel :)
Thank you for the class
Thanks for tuning in, Jemale!
!!! This is literally amazing. Thank you for this. I am new at working out and the next day my muscles are always incredibly tight and sore. This is the first practice I've found wear it actually loosens my muscles and reduces the pain. ❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you
Stretching before (to prepare for), and after (to recover from), working out, is an excellent habit. Stretching (correctly) can help reduce soreness and stiffness too. We're so happy that you found this video exactly when you needed it! Please check our channel for more even more yoga videos from Elena.
Thank you!
Feels great!
Wonderful!
Everything popped. It felt awesome. Some things popped multiple times. I never do this stuff. It’s always just GIT IT, GIT IT, GIT IT!!! No time to decompress. That’s gonna all change now!
As someone who snaps, crackles & pops often, I feel you. Get after it!
So amazing! been super active lately hiking and in the climbing gym, this has been great to add to my recovery, would love more videos from Elena!!
Thanks, Leah! We're happy to know these videos came right on time for you.
this is the first yoga video I've actually managed to follow along and it's really helped, thanks for this
Right on! We hope to see you on the mat again soon, Wern.
More hip stuff please! This was a slower pace than what I’m used to but def needed it.
Perfect session
Happy to hear that Igor!
Definitely need to add this to a recovery day routine. Full disclosure - I really need to add a weekly recovery day.
Sounds like Monday can be a great choice for a recovery day.
Haha, don't we all need weekly recovery days? Let me know how you like it!
I feel so good after doing your videos!
Yes!!! We're so glad to hear it.
love this!! We need more!
Best part of my day, thank you!
Awesome! Thanks, Diane
I’m a high school sprinter and I use this after track meets
Wonderful! That's a great way to use these videos. We wish you the best at your track meets! 🏃♀️
Love this!
Thank you so much! 😊
Do you do any pre run yoga??
i liked it, but felt like i didn't know how to modify for my long legs. my knees kept getting in the way
This was so gas
My new crush
6/11.
Great video but, am I missing something with yoga? Lay back eyes closed now do tik tok,
Um whats tik tok position?
How do us new new beginners follow along with looking at our phone/laptop? I can’t focus on breath if I have no idea what I’m doing.
You got to download the app first 😂😂😂😂
@@KrlsOtc what app?
My best recommendation is to simply keep trying it out. As with any new hobby, skill, or endeavor, there's a period of "feeling new" before things start to click. It can feel a bit awkward or cumbersome at first, but I think after a few repetitions you'll feel like you can follow along without looking. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I tend to watch the video before actually trying it to get an idea of the routine. I find it hard to follow verbal instructions
@@ursulaanne hey my last name is Hadley haha
Toes out for the boooys!
Oh your so beautiful :)
Would be cooler if you did this with miranda
I'll figure out what sport she's a pro at and go from there
Too complicated
Thanks for your comment! I find that athletes require specificity due to the demands of their sport. It can certainly be complicated, but well worth the investment.
Great after a hard work out, but also perfect after a long drive or flight! I could feel my tight hips and shoulders sigh in relief and my tension melt away.
Absolutely! Those are all great times to practice yoga. 🙌
