@@Swoozie89if he’s lifting that heavy it’s probably because he’s heavy. I’m a heavyset athlete, can lift a lot of weight, but honestly, holding my bodyweight in that position gets pretty difficult. It’s really about what your body is carved out to do. A lot of heavy lifters have trouble maintaining isometric body weight exercises.

[@choosetolivefree]

Never do understand the appeal of my powerlifting brothers, as a bodybuilder. I think the display of strength is cool, but, my only critique is that ROM y'all use, I couldn't imagine lifting like that. I'd be willing to guess you use sumo form for the DL, everyone who pulls heavy DL uses sumo

After two weeks of daily practice I can now get through this video almost effortlessly, a testament to the value of committing to daily stretching, breathing, and mindfulness. I look forward to yoga everyday now. Thanks for the great content.

It’s amazing how you are keeping us in place with motivation telling us that giving up or leaving the mat is something you don’t wanna do, as it is the same as in life, going through the challenge just by breathing.

Summary: I feel relaxed aha As far as beginner classes go I think this was spot-on. He constantly reminded the viewer to go with the stretch where it was comfortable. I felt like as long as I focused on my breathing and my body’s positioning I really was putting the work in. Grounding my palms reeeeeally helped w/not overworking my shoulders.

[@vitaly1904]

This practice is incredible! I took a month and a half break after 7 months of everyday yoga and it’s been very challenging to get back to my routine. I usually prefer flows on a stonger side and doing my usual routine felt like I couldn’t catch up. This practice took me back to basics, reminded me what’s important about each pose and helped my body open up. I remembered why I love yoga!!!! Thanks a lot for this wonderful flow, Flo♥️

[@christopherbragg6643]

I've tried a good handful of KZbin based Yoga lessons/classes and each one felt somewhat rushed and just a string of poses with no real focus on patience and personal speed. With this video I felt I was actually back in a class with a one-to-one tutor, remembering to breathe and to take my time with each pose. No doubt this is my go-to channel now!

[@muriellaki]

This is a great practice. I'm usually not doing a youtube class twice but I've revisited this one 4 times already. It's precisely the stretch my body needs after running, being tight from a workout, or even sitting too long. It's not for total beginners but with the modifications and by keeping in mind you just need to feel the sensation and not go for the perfect pose, as Flo instructs so well during the class, it's great. I loved the sequencing, the instructions, the advice, the voice, and the calmness. Thanks Flo.

[@ExplorewithLoriFerence]

I have been practicing yoga for 26 years and am an endurance athlete/ultrarunner. I found your video by searching for "recovery day yoga". The part of the video which is accessible to beginners and focuses on recovery and relaxation starts with happy baby i.e. the last few poses.
