[@khushityagi3187]

Didn’t you feel difficulty while performing these asanas? I’m suffering from pain due to long sitting hours without any physical activity my body has become stiffed.

@@khushityagi3187do what you can and breathe into it! It will be a struggle at the start but your body will adapt to movement. At the beginning it’s important to build a foundation of consistency. Even if that means doing 5 minutes a day to start. All the best on your journey!

That scissor position really made me realize how much my shoulders need help. I'm planning to do this video regularly in the hopes of seeing my posture improve! Thanks for sharing this one. I'd love to see more posture-related exercises.

[@08emily89]

My hump is awful! Did you have any success?

[@camdelsol365]

Getting to be middle aged, the shoulders and back really do need to be opened, as we spend all our years oriented forwards (as our eyes are in front of our face and not on the sides,top or back of the head). Even without desk/computer work, the body tends to cave in and down upon itself with age. Thank you very much for this intense moment of acknowledging our shoulders and upper back. I love your calm neutral voice. You are so gifted to reach out and touch so many lives with the light of your own. 🙏

[@jakedaum2294]

When doing the snow Angels my shoulders popped when I brought my thumbs together behind my back, it felt so incredible as I have bicep tendonitis and this helped release my shoulders in a way not really possible otherwise. Thank you so much Sarah I love the mobility series

[@jessicabaker7318]

I've been doing your practices for almost a yr now n felt the need to thank u. I suffer with anxiety n depression and 2020 has been an exceptionally tough yr for me. My family lost my Aunt Diane to Covid-19 in April n my cousin Jaime was in a fatal motorcycle accident over the Summer. Ty from the bottom of my broken heart for helping me heal and find peace. N for physical pain relief as well. Love n peace ✌ 💙 Namaste

[@parzival8331]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your authentic guidance, especially the way you acknowledge how it feels to be a beginner doing these stretches for the first time, "relax the muscles in your face, this new and different but it should feel pretty good for you." Was so helpful not only for the stretches, but in all aspects of life. I really appreciate your teaching style, thank you.

[@anirudhkrishna1123]

I tried this routine for the first time today, and it was beautiful. To everyone who’s deciding to do this routine or not, trust me it make your day better. Thanks a ton Sarah! You’ve made a difference in many people’s lives.

Even though I’ve done yoga for 23 years I always learn something new from Sarah Beth even in a short 15 minute session. I love the upside down snow angel and threading the needle with one hand on top of the other. Sarah Beth is the best - I love her!😄😘

You are my favorite yogi around! Your videos are the most effective for my body & I immediately feel the benefits. This video alone has helped me address my lat pain. Thank you!

[@jamieschmalenberger6872]

I’ve been following Sarah Beth for a few years now. I love that she’s always creating new flows and putting a twist (no pun intended) on some familiar positions. This one felt great and targets a “problem area” for me. I’ll definitely be adding this into my regular practice. Thank you so much, Sarah Beth!! 💙💙

[@MrPoppol]

I ve been watching your classes for 2 years now. You arę the ONE among milions yoga teachers on KZbin. Thank you and wish good Łuck in your mission!!!! All the best from Warsaw Poland

[@ceffydriver]

Hi Sarah! This is my husbands youtube account but just wanted to say Hi from Australia!! :) Your videos have helped me in so many ways. I have had alot of anxiety issues to date but I try to remind myself to take your advice, "your daily practice is your strongest practice" and whenever I am feeling anxious or stressed, i take 5 or 10 and focus on your yoga and my mat and practicing meditation. Doing your yoga first thing when i wake up and last thing at night makes you feel refreshed for the day and calm before bed at night. I had been doing your practices almost every day for a couple of months and recently had a hectic couple of weeks and didn't do any for a week. It was incredible the amount my body had tensed up in a just a week! I am a dental assistant for work, so not the best for your back and neck. So you are 100% correct, your daily practice is much better than 1 hour once a week. I also love the music you incorporate, it so perfectly ties in. You probably get sick of saying the same uplifting quotes but gosh do they work in the moment and just top off the yoga practice! As its not easy to stay positive with whats happening in the world at the moment. Sarah Beth keep doing what you're doing! Your doing a fantastic job.... All the best!

[@whateverdudeitscool]

I don't normally comment on videos, but this routine and the neck mobility one have been a godsend. I've had the worst stiff neck and shoulders and a lot of pain this past week and going through these two routines has given me back some much needed range of motion. What a relief to feel that stretch! Thank you Sarah Beth.

[@TheSayfamily]

I’m a swimmer and have tightness in shoulders and neck from too often breathing to one side. Loved the intense puppy stretch and the snowflake moves that made my back crack. Thank you!

[@brahmabreath8247]

My favorite part is all of it.....i struggle with a crazy anxiety disorder and have tons of tension in my upper body (horrible posture) that not only causes pain, but makes carrying myself very difficult. Thank you for putting this video out,....this is my first time doing these poses, but I def feel some major tension relief...will be making this a daily practice...you are very much appreciated😊😊😊

[@jofranklin3917]

I just got back to work as a massage therapist after being shut down this was JUST what I needed and my body thanks you. I will be incorporating this for my end of daycare after work. THANK YOU!

I do Sarah Beth’s yoga videos every day and I really enjoyed the challenge of this on a day I am stiff and tired. I hadn’t tried many of the stretches before and my body feels much more open after 15 quick minutes. LOVE SARAH BETH’S WORK! She has got me through iso so well

Yay day 1. Been needing to do yoga for years (I'm now 65!!) cos I have always had stiff hip joints and an old sporting shoulder injury from my youth which I recently re-injured, so it's time...exactly where I need to be I think you said! I always found yoga classes go too fast and its stressful trying to keep up. Now thanks to my yoga friend who sent me your link, I am on the floor in my Australian rainforest home. I really enjoyed that routine and have sent away for the flexible hips routine!!! Perfect start to my day thank you Sarah Beth.

[@jeromenicolas446]

Your basic yoga video helped me start my healthy addiction to yoga. I started in April and since then it's been my morning routine + meditation. You are amazing. In this video, my favorite part is the twist with palm on top of the other. It's so good, I feel the deep stretch as I breathe.

[@captainnemo190]

Quite liking this for my long standing frozen shoulder. Couldn't do all of the stretches fully, but I feel that it will help and that I'll gradually get better and my arm more flexible. Thank you🙂

[@Sarah-hr9qk]

Sarah Beth!! I love your videos so much. I even have my 15 year old son doing yoga with me. You have taught me so much. I never even attempted yoga before you. I have tried other yoga videos on KZbin, but they just aren't the same as yours. Your kind and supportive words are exactly what I need. You have helped with my generalized anxiety and depression so much. I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you do. Truly you are a teacher. I do have one question for you, how do you get your hair so shiny? You have beautiful hair and I'd love to know your tricks! I hope you and you're loved ones are safe and healthy.

[@sarahbethyoga]

Hi! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos! For hair, to be fair I have thick Indian hair but also I only wash 2-3x a week with argon oil based shampoos and conditioners, no phalates or sulfates. I put oil in the mids and ends while air drying and only blowout once a week, if at all.
