Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel! Today I'm taking you through a sequence I had improvised and shared on Instagram ( / cgsrbmgp-vh . Lots of you requested it so here it is! This is a fantastic 30 minute yoga class to do in the morning or later on in the afternoon. It's an intermediate yoga flow with no props needed.
The first part of the class is done reclined with some stretches for you hips and hamstrings before moving into our standing poses. There are a few challenging poses thrown in like moving from eagle to warrior 3, a half bow/half locust pose, a deep warrior 2 stretch and square pose with a twist. This is a great yoga class to do for lower body flexibility.
Since I moved to my new studio so many of you have been asking for my pets to be featured more. It's pretty easy for me to include the cats but lately you've been asking about my dog Luna, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Truth be told - I don't know if she will be invited back! 😂 There was a lot I had to cut out of the video. In any case, I hope you enjoyed the class and appreciated her cuteness!

I kept thinking you were saying "good girl" to me! Nice feedback lol

[@yogawithkassandra]

hahaha

[@stevibee]

Lolllllll I just tried this flow at 5:30 am, and the first time she said that, my head spun to the screen so fast 😂 I was groggy and had already forgotten Luna was there haha

[@anonymousnowhere]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kayw7871]

i don’t often comment on these videos but i thought you might appreciate this- i began practicing yoga 4-5 years ago with the help of a local teacher. sadly he passed away around 2 years ago, and since then i’ve really struggled to find another yogi who could match the peaceful atmosphere he created in his classes- your videos are the closest i’ve come to it! so thank you for that, it means a lot to me x

[@MensahAcademics]

After 120 days with a well known KZbin yoga teacher, I felt I needed a bit more of a challenge so I did this for the first time. At times I thought Kassandra might really be a sadist posing as a yoga instructor. Funny thing is, by the end of it, after many a dodgy pose, I felt energised and totally accomplished and I can't wait to do it all again tomorrow. Who knew!!

[@chillmusa]

Over the past few years I've done this exact yoga class many times. Best morning yoga video on KZbin! Thank you so much!

[@janinaotte3217]

You’re really the Queen of Sequencing - all your sequences are so well put together, make totally sense and just feel sooo good 👑 💗

[@aliceinbrill]

Agreed! 💙💚

[@domsimproductions]

It's so nice that you're including the traditional Sanskrit names of the poses. I believe it so important to respect where these asanas came from, we should be aiming to incorporate some more of the original culture into our practices! :) :)

[@rekhaparikh4552]

I felt so proud of you for saying Sanskrit word. Even though I have learned it in my childhood but still can’t speak like you . 👏👏👏👍

[@yogawithkassandra]

I'm working on it 😊

[@NinaDmytraczenko]

Yes, thank you for including them! I love learning the Asana names. I'd really like to see them written out, be it in the video it in the description, as English (or Sanskrit) isn't my first language for me it can be hard to understand the names just hearing them

[@stevibee]

There's a big energy when she says it, too!

[@jolynkling481]

I was going to say the same thing! I really feel the energy when I repeat the Sanskrit names along with you. I’m slowly learning them. Thank you for making these videos. Ps, I love my dogs too, and they are waiting patiently on the other side of the door for me to out and pet them😉😂

[@katesmith8005]

I think You should bring Luna to every yoga class. She is a furry ray of sunshine. I kept smiling all through the entire practice. :)

[@elleryklein-fiddler9330]

Twisted square....! I love that after 22 years of yoga practice I can still get a new pose that feels so new and challenging!

[@melrox8809]

My cat lays in the middle of the yoga mat while I'm in downward dog & sometimes she licks my legs lol. Luna is cute. I love seeing your cats too & I love your yoga.

[@brackzackland]

Head butts & side slams from one & laying on back exposed belly cuteness from the other. Animals make yoga more fun & challenging.

[@grizzlious]

It took me almost 5 months to be able to find my voice as we close class with an “ohm”. Has anyone else experienced this? I used to take comfort in the fact that Kassandra’s strong voice was there to help. I still do, but it feels so nice to close the class with confidence with her. Thank you for all of your videos, Kassandra!

[@jodiebrown9787]

Normally my pup leaves me alone during my morning practice, but for some reason today he would not stop standing over me and licking my face, dogs are the best!😊

[@lsguerrero16]

Oh, I had to laugh. For many years I’ve had a dog. My last one was my true Yoga Buddy (his name). He had a knack of finding the one bit of empty yoga mat when I moved about. Invariably getting in the way but now that he’s gone, I miss him. Your Luna looks like a really gentle thing. How sweet. It was nice to see her but it is a little hard to see poses when she’s in the way. I understand if she can’t join us again. But I do appreciate all the editing you did to make the flow work. Thanks. (I’m a subscriber to your app now too).

[@Mary-bn7bb]

I think I can officially consider myself an intermediate student :) I’ve been practicing with you almost daily since July! It has helped immeasurably through really difficult times: ending an unhealthy relationship, moving out of our shared home, and now trying to forge a new, healthy path for myself. Thank you so much for making these resources available to everyone.

[@ejt263]

I woke up this morning thinking, “I would love a new morning yoga routine today” and I opened up KZbin to find this. Thank you 🧡

[@yogawithkassandra]

Great synchronicity!

Luna was there for levity. She was too funny. You must feature her again from time to time!

[@adriennemincz1690]

Luna was actually a pretty good girl! Nice class. Felt really good this morning!

[@MariposaRedimida]

Thanks for including Luna for some extra smiles and giggles! Really loved this practice too. Namaste.

[@matsuleena]

I can see the trouble you had to go through with the editing, but I have to say, the beginning where Luna licks your face, made me so happy, so we definitely need to see that blooper reel! It's the kind of energy we need in 2020 or what's left of it. Also I have to say that class made me feel incredibly confident as none of the poses were overwhelming, i never broke a sweat, yet I feel stronger and more flexible. Keep up the good work, these last videos have been amazing!

[@kris061000]

I liked Luna in the video. She is very cute and brings lots of warmth and joy to the practice. Please keep her in your videos. Namaste for this practice 😊❤

[@jennifersquires9202]

My Luna is with me for every class I do with you!! Luna love

[@tarac5137]

Aw, Luna did a good job! Or at least in the edited version. 🤣 Having the pets around feels authentic. Frank (cat) and Olive (dog) practiced with me today. The cat is much easier! Thankfully today the dog was chill and off to the side, but that very often is not the case. And I cannot OM out loud or do anything like Kapalabhati, it riles her up. Great practice, it hit a bit of everything. ✌🏻

[@yogawithkassandra]

Oh yes the unedited version was quite different haha

[@akwhataday2216]

@@yogawithkassandra In my experience, once I've practiced yoga around a dog a few times they start to chill out.

[@brendalongacre487]

My dog stands guard when I'm laying on my back. About a foot from my (usually) right shoulder, and gets closer if I try to make movements. Since I'm doing Physical Therapy for that shoulder, kind of hinders the exercise. :)

[@yogawithkassandra]

I don't know if Luna will be invited back 😂 but this is a great morning yoga flow!

[@ToriDitizio]

luna was great! have her again

[@RandyWinn42]

I love yoga with family members, four-legged or otherwise. While they are usually not doing what we're doing at any particular minute, isn't that the nature of the world in general? Noticing their needs while meeting our own adds a bit of spice!

[@aliceinbrill]

Kassandra, this was a wonderful routine! Ive been following you for about 2-3 years. I always come back to your channel for Yoga. Your routines are quality, and your presence is peaceful and supportive. Perfect atmosphere, and a peaceful, engaging flow. Luna is adorable, I'm glad she got to be part of my morning 🥰 thanks for the smiles and positivity. You're the best!

[@alinainchaustegui8956]

Kassandra, please please please keep using the Sanskrit names of poses! It truly does help me so much during my practice I like to chant them after you say them to try and remember them. It is very grounding. Much love❤️❤️❤️

Hi Alina! From one Basque chick, me, to you! Namaste .

Oh my goodness, I’ve been watching your videos for months now, and this is the first one I’ve seen with Luna. Definitely bring her back, she is a delight! ❤❤❤

Luna was Lovely. Thanks for including her.

Thumbs up for precious doggo.

[@MorningRoutineGirly]

Initially I felt resistance to this one. So much was released and I’m so glad I stuck through to the end. Luna and you are adorable

[@jamielampidis6155]

One of my favorite yoga sequences ever. Luna was a good addition. My cat tries to do downward dog or he squats under me during my planks when I practice. Deep stretches in this one, but the flow prepared my muscles for them.

[@zapsurf1343]

My pittie Roxie thinks its time to wrestle when Im on the mat ! Good Morning and thank you!

[@daniellegardner9402]

Me and my 10 year old loved seeing Luna - she's so sweet! : ) Thank you so much for a wonderful practice!

[@amberadelman463]

This went really well! It’s like my 5th time doing yoga 😂 I’m over weight but I still felt confident and excited to do this. Trying to do yoga a couple times a week, I just had a baby so mental health is important ❤️ thank you

[@patriciacampea4137]

Great class! I was happy to see another 30 minute full body class, it was what i was asking for - you must have felt my vibration! It was the perfect length, i still had time for a meditation class after this yoga class. It was a good overall body stretch and strengthen class. I liked the sequences, they flowed well and i liked the variations you did on some of the moves - you did one of my favourite moves, yogi squat. The pace was perfect, a nice ease into it and time to get into each move. I loved that you said the actual names of the moves, it helped me to keep learning the language of yoga. I also liked the time in savasana to re-centre and loved the chant of OM at the end, which helped to also centre, ground, calm and align with myself and Source. Yes, carpet is a challenge, that's what i have in my place too. Luna was precious and it was fun to have Luna join in and all your pets when they do. I love when my cat joins me and yes it can be less or more disruptive depending on the pet. A blooper video would be fun to watch! Thank you Kassandra for all that you do! Have a wonderful day. Namaste.

[@dixie-dee]

I love ❤️ Luna (you are great too of course, haha) But I haven’t smiled so much during yoga in a long time. ☺️ Please do some more with her, it is wonderful to see her pure sweet love and devotion to you.

[@abbynormal3192]

Great practice, thank you! My dog would always want to join me on my mat when I practiced. It was just the novelty of seeing me on the floor-- lol! Now she doesn't bother me any more, so, the more you allow Luna to see you practice, the more comfortable she will become with it. I really do think they worry when they see us doing something"unusual" like twisting ourselves into pretzels. Once they know we are ok, then they are too.

[@pratisthashah5458]

The fact that youmre using Sanskrit names for the asanas is just incredible. I have made it a point to google the names, learn the them and repeat after you everytime i practise with you. I have already learnt so many names. It’s just amazing. Luna was a special treat. Amazing flow 💓

[@lindascotton]

More like this. Love the 30 minute flows! Thank you!

[@crystalcastellanos3398]

Hi Kassandra. I used to have 3 dogs when I lived in 600 sq ft home for almost a decade. The more you practice with them around, give them firm "no's", "go to your bed" or whatever commands to get them to a spot away from your mat, and completely ignore them (not even touching them) and allowing yourself to really get into your practice, they tend to get used to the mat equaling your time. That was just from my experience. At first, they're quite confused about why you're on the floor and not wanting to interact with them, but they get used to the deal and are happy to chill out near by. :) just in case your fans are wanting more Luna in your videos and you want to give it a future shot.

I enjoyed that It was a good flow, moments I felt it was fresh, I was going to run on and do it because of familiar poses. You kept it fresh, as if first time, so I slowed down Cleo 👌🏽

[@karizmaone]

Please more classes with Luna! We recently lost our luna girl, and I loved hearing her give you kisses during the practice - it was a calming sound.,

I loved the class with Luna!! You are the best Kassandra & you have no idea how your classes have saved my sanity through this crazy time in our lives. Thank you!!

[@Debralearningdesign]

Too bad you had to cover window. The forest view was nice. I use film inside windows on video sets to lower lighting. Luna is so sweet.

[@yogawithkassandra]

I prefer it this way especially for this time of year. The leaves have already all fallen so now it's just a bunch of skinny twigs and poles and cable lines lol. Not as nice as it was a few weeks ago!

[@christyd3103]

I love seeing your animals in some of the videos! I found that my dog jumping on me while I practiced prepped me for practicing with my kids around. Eventually mine leave me alone or at least move to the side enough for me to do each pose. 😋. How fun! And I truly love all of your videos: great sequences and you have a wonderfully calm and soothing voice to lead us.

[@user-ex4rq2ui6o]

it went great with Luna as well. You are unstoppable. Thank you once more. It was a great beginning of the day

[@vallic08]

My dog joined me for this practice today and I think he was taking cues from Luna! They were doing pretty much the same things the whole time. Loved this practice and seeing you enjoy the new space.

[@ruthtattley8686]

Excellent. I love Luna. Just like real life but you need to do one with teenage boys wandering through the room and partner making cups of coffee and tripping over the edge of the yoga mat.

[@rchaouen]

Luna's sounds effects were helpful and active pets in yoga videos. Maybe she can demonstrate a few poses. Great flow and cues!

[@sturkfeld]

[@SerenityFlowArts]

Hey Cassandra! I have been following your channel since the beginning of the pandemic. Consequently, a big believer now in yoga at home!
