[@DarleneWatsonArtist]

yes... I DO I never used to but that is probably because I was doing Yoga. I am trying to get back at it regularly as I notice a huge difference from not doing yoga for a few years. Agreed. I love this. I am working my way with the "November Alignment." I am keener so I started early :-)

[@michelecastonguay2475]

Yoga for balancd😊

[@victorymind6560]

I’ve done this routine for about 2 months now and today was the first day I did the whole routine with no falls! Thank you!

[@smushybear5354]

Congrats! 🎉 I just found this and will be working on it so I can get there too.

[@georgiaaforpresident]

I tried doing this my first week of doing yoga. I remember being so out of breath and 5 minutes in felt like a lifetime and I stopped and felt so bad about myself. Just did this after doing yoga almost everyday for 3 weeks and I could not believe it was done when I finished! Yoga is really really helping me in so many different aspects: practicing patience and transcendence in the moment, learning about myself and my family, pushing myself, even in weight lifting and resistance training. It's all changed thanks to Kassandra! Yoga felt frightening before starting, now it feels like an old friend. In love with yoga 😍😍😍

[@yogawithdorit3441]

I love what you wrote.. so many of my yogis (myself included) come to yoga for all those extras (helping with anxiety, practicing patience, dealing with our stresses from a balanced perspective, self care, self inquiry, knowing ourselves better). Its not about the poses, or being "good" at yoga... it teaches us how to get better at life! Namaste, keep enjoying the practice for decades to come! I discovered it in my 50s and am sharing it with so much love right now. And always learning. XO

@@yogawithdorit3441 wow 💗 subbed you 💛💛🤍🌄💛🌇🌈

[@yoonhi9301]

This was beautifully written. What I have been feeling about myself is that I need to find a good balance in everything that I do, when to be silent, when to react, when to wait, when to speak, when to let go, and when to hold on, and just general graceful movements in regular activities. Basically the balance of the mind. And I thought the route could be through the balance of the body. With that aim I came here and this was so good. I do yoga a bit. Backward bending, forward bending is fine but balancing the body was tough. Too wobbly. So I needed this. Yet to start practicing it. I will.

[@fourcatsandagarden]

I read a few comments before starting and wouldn't you know without even trying I had to pause at exactly 5 minutes too haha. She moves a lot faster than a lot of other yoga videos I was trying over the last couple weeks, which is sometimes good (like when I'm about to fall down) but also means I need a few more breaks than usual, at least right now til I get used to this.

[@Mazbags]

I have been doing this once a day for 4 days and I can already feel a difference in my mood and the strength from balance. Im enjoying so much!

[@madgreane4878]

As a taller person (6'4") i was looking for a routine to help sustain my posture exercises and help day to day motions be less straining and more fluid. My Stability, balance, and strength has all improved within 4 days. I do this every morning, excellent, bravo, a well choreographed routine, thank you! On a constructive not: more time on each pose. A couple more breath lengths on each pose helped my focus and let my body be more precise in knowing what to do, and how to maintain it confidently.

[@williambates8323]

Been doing this about 7 times over 3 weeks. It’s kinda hard, but I’m getting better. I appreciate Kassandra’s encouragement. Hangin in there.

[@fernandolspptagr7463]

Yes, I did enjoy this yoga class. Highly recommended. Namaste.

[@hujin4378]

I saved this session. I don’t know why I always go to Kassandra’s yoga sessions in the morning. I love her positive energy and fun style. 👍🌹

[@cathpiano]

I'm doing a self guided 30 day Yoga Balance Challenge. This is my Day 1. You've given me the perfect kick-off.

[@trinettwhitburn3463]

I liked it I just felt for beginner could have been a bit slower talking through it. well done though I enjoyed this very much thank u

[@CarolMcCarvell]

I agree, so I slowed down the playback speed of the video and it helped me keep the pace.

[@EileenMarden]

I agree, very good practice...thank you 👍👍 but for me as a complete inflexible beginner with poor balance, I couldn't keep up. But, I'm going to keep watching over & over as I really want to get it!!

[@debs_hiking_journey]

Totally agree, hard to follow as a beginner

[@TranquilGem]

Ive started this video 2 years ago and every since I practiced yoga daily but had stopped in the recent year. I stopped doing yoga all together and ever since than I fell out of love with my yoga. Im unhappy with my body, my mind and my spirit now! 🥲 I’m back to restart my yogi life and finding the happiness I once had and it all started with Kassandras yoga videos!! 😩😩😩 Thank you so much for your videos Kassandra! I miss the peace of my body and my mind! Ill become a yogi once again!

[@tierrabear10]

Same here!! Glad to be back practicing again. Whew, this one is really tough for me right now. It will be a good bellwether for me to see my progress. 😊

[@annasier2604]

I did ballet for 10 years and took 13 years off. I've recently started exercising again and have gotten annoyed at myself for not having the balance I used to. Thank you for making a video that targets specific weaknesses so I can work on those.

[@dawtainee]

Good Morning Kassandra, I love your videos. I am 63 years old and my balance used to be MUCH BETTER! I stopped do yoga for a while due to a back injury. Now I’m trying to get back into the flow but my balance is real off. I did this video today for the first time but I’m going to continue and see if I improve! Thank you!

[@marchikes]

So good Kassandra. Was looking for something to help me with balance for stand up paddleboarding. This was perfect. Definitely showed me my weak points and challenged me. Feel great afterwards too. Thank you for this.

[@hoponhoney.9366]

I used to do this routine together with another of your 20minutes videos back in 2021. Is the best I felt myself. I'm trying to get back at it. Please more short balance videos!! You are great

[@juswilvel]

Thank you for this! Tried it for the first time today! Just right for beginners and it highlighted a need to strengthen my left leg after an ACL tear/surgery years ago. Time to regain that lost strength and balance. 💪🏼🖤

[@stellakay1332]

Love this sequence Kassandra - I do it every morning. Exactly the right pace and enough explanation to know I am doing the poses right - you say things just at the right time - it is as if you are in the room with me e.g. keep your hip down...., ....it is OK to wobble a bit! I am 67 and my balance really needed addressing - this is helping so much thank you

[@juliesinclair7952]

I have been loving all the 10/15 minute yoga sessions with Kassandra. Just enough to do one in the morning and one in the evening every day which I have never committed to before. Better than my normal yoga class. I am sold!

[@milktea8773]

I was so anxious today and almost had a panic attack so I really needed to do smthg that will give my head something to focus on and this been amazing I did yoga for almost two years now so the moves weren't that hard and they really took my mind out of all the negativity I have been in thank u so much this not only stabilized my body but also my mind... Namaste ✨💜

[@Misszahra1993]

Amazing, but I need more balance, can you provide more for beginners to improve their abilities and create more balance

[@fernandolspptagr7463]

Namaste.

[@Chronopod]

Great videos! I don't know how you manage to explain, breath, and do the poses all at the same time, but I'm extremely grateful for it. Especially, the reminders like, "grounding the left shoulder"(for example). Thank you so much!

[@cheryleveritt3284]

Loved this practice, please do more like this, 15 minutes or 20 minutes.....thank you!

[@mahitharaghuram8569]

Day 86 🧘🏻‍♀️ Fast paced challenging practice but so good to help focus on present moment. Namaste 🙏🏽

[@carrieduffy545]

Kassandra provides so many effective options for all levels & time constraints. So grateful to find her yoga instruction

[@tracyheath6076]

This is my 2nd time doing this video. The first time I was wobbling all over the place and kept falling out of position. Big improvement this time doing the video (I have been practicing balance exercises through out the day ) but I still wobble and fall when it comes to some of the stances but I can certainly see the difference with practicing and feeling so much more stronger and solid. Thank you.

[@ninfarose]

Love and blessings from Mottola south of Italy 🤍🤍🤍 subbed you

[@schleichbyme2258]

What balancing exercises do you practise throughout the day? I just can't get balance! I would love some tips!

[@tracyheath6076]

@@schleichbyme2258 I am an artistic and figure skater. (I just started about a year ago and wow I could not believe how unbalanced I was even though I was in pretty good shape) but this sport demands incredible balance that uses the entire core.. My lower abs and back indeed were not as strong as I thought they were. The first thing is to do some warm up exercises in the morning to engage your abs (lower especially) Nothing hard just get that lower ab awake. (no more than 3-5 minutes) and stretch your whole body before trying to do this kind of balance program. (this video in my opinion is a bit advanced I think) . Tight muscles make it tough to balance so every morning stretch it all out. Also I found that doing twisting movements while standing and keeping the abs still are incredible for helping with balance because you have to make those abs help your lower torso stay still. Posture is imperative. Stand up and pull shoulder blades down and squeeze your muscles between your shoulder blades and dont let your bottoms rips pop. This is the key to balance. After you have warmed up try standing next a dresser or something you can hold on to. Do some drills that will have you standing on one foot (dont try to do standing balancing exercises on thick carpet) the exercises that help me are many ballet movements and simple lifting one leg and point the toe , hold and slowly after a count of say 10 lower down. Don't rush to put food down. Do different maneuvers with eat leg in this manner. A simple yet affective exercises is when I stand at the sink and wash dishes, I do not lean on the counter, (that is a bad habit) I make myself use my abs to stand straight and sometimes will hold my leg like the tree pose in Yoga.. There are many fun things you can do like walking and the stopping and pick one foot off the ground and hold it, maybe stretch it out and point or do ankle circles. Stand and stretch one leg in back. Even if you can only do for a second, your on your way. Your teaching your body and brain how to balance. When you do your strength training like bicep curls, stand on one foot , even if you have to stand on tippy toe... get your form and lift your foot. Everything counts when you do something to work on balance. Calf raises are good, try to do that without holding on to anything. Hope that helps....

[@hujin4378]

My 2nd round after 3 months. It’s a great and challenging balance practice in a short 15 minutes. Super! Namaste 🙏

[@evelynmok2654]

I love this short and effective balancing practice. I often add this to my regular practice because it helps me so much with my balance. Thank you Kassandra! ❤🤸🏻‍♀️

What a great, quick practice! Namaste 🙏🏻

So valuable to have a short balance focused class. Thank you Kassandra! I so value your classes.

I'm ready for Patagonia tomorrow! Thank you so much for this balance work out which I've done many times in the last 3 months.

[@tommeyer6033]

Fantastic. I ride two wheeled vehicles a lot (every day) so balance is really important to me. It’s surprising how much better I am at one side than the other... thank you!

[@jeanette8943]

This is awesome for those of us who are older and really need our balance to be strong! I now do this twice a week.

[@jenobean9081]

I have just found you and have been doing a routine for just over a week - I can already notice the difference! You are a fantastic teacher and I love how you explain every step and breath.

[@NancyMancarious]

Hello Kassandra, I loved your videos right away and I've switched to them while practicing my Yoga. It's been 3 weeks now since I started. I'd like you, please, to do a short video about: -- Giving tips for beginners. Like, what focus should they start with (i.e. Flexibility or balance or ... ) and how they know they're doing everything right and should search for an advanced class video! Things like that. -- If you can, explain the aches one feels in his back and neck! And why that pain usually arises (for people having no medical conditions). -- Explain the type of Yogas you have videos for, like the Vin Yoga ... what is that?

[@jenniferrice1304]

Thank you! I enjoy working on my balance. Some days are better than others, as well as, one side is better than the other. Glad I found your routines.

[@reginadawley9646]

This practice is very important for me to gain balance. Thanks for all you do.
