Loved this David but I love all of your videos. They are not full of 50 million vinyasas. You love teaching and it comes from your heart which comes through so pleasantly. No pressure and such gentleness. You are a true blessing. I wish more yoga teachers would get back to the true essence of yoga and what it's supposed to be.

[@paulagabay9915]

First time I've come across your channel, amazing practice. I've, been practicing yoga for 10 years and that's the best cobra I've ever achieved. Had back problems since I was 18 and have a knackered spine but I've almost completed my ytt & can't wait to teach others like myself. Thank you so much and I look forward to doing your other practices. Love and light 🧘🏼‍♀️ 💜

[@kbclasson]

Thank you for wonderful sessions…can you do a few routines that are shorter than 30 minutes…i.e. 15 or 20 minutes for days one has less time to stretch or work out. You are the best!

[@celinen5983]

That’s one of my daily back stretch, it feels soooo good, Thank you David!

[@lucindabakker3953]

Hi David, Thank you so much again, for another great video. If there was a “love it’ ❤-button instead of a like it👍-button, I would love it.❤.🥰…All of your video’s! This video is great for all levels. The way you are guiding us, everyone can do this. From the beginner yoga, to the not experienced at all, to the intermediate to advanced yogi’s. (I’m maybe in between there somewhere…but ah every day I’m learning here more and more. The video you are referring to after this video (strong body, calm mind) , is AMAZING, too. !...LOVE IT I love doing my morning yoga with you and all the others there in the world. Thank you for making these videos. Especially now during this Pandemic time, now that lots of things are close here (and I’m sure everywhere else, too).. I really appreciate here all you can do for us. You are the best!.. Namaste, David..🙏🎸 till the next time!

[@DavidOYoga]

Lucinda you just lit up my heart and made my day with this!! I'm so grateful you appreciate the "all levels" nature of this practice. I'm working on a similar one now and my greatest wish is that everyone, no matter experience or age can find something loving, powerful and transformative in these practices. When I make these videos I imagine exactly what you say - all of us practicing together all over the world, but together in the same heart space. Thank you for sharing your love!! Namaste 🙏

[@hectorpalomino8050]

Watching you I wonder if to be happy is not an attained attitude towards life but a real and the main TALENT (i.e. free gift) of which depends the development of the other talents one may have.

[@DavidOYoga]

I think this is a beautiful awareness Hector. I do believe happiness is something that we must actively cultivate in our own lives, and in the world, and that it does involve acknowledging and cultivating the unique gifts that each of us has been given. Namaste my friend 🙏💓

Hey David - just discovered this and it helped immensely, thank you! I'm a long-time yoga teacher as well but was looking for someone else to guide me through a low back practice this morning, and you popped up. Loved the holding-onto-the-foot side twist and stretch, which I hadn't seen before!

Thank You so much for your wonderful explanation of the mechanics of these poses .

You are a wonderful Yoga instructor. Thank You David O Yoga

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi Laura! I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear that you're feeling less pain and more joy in your body. The alignment cues and guides I focus on are the ones that have helped me most in my own practice and I love sharing them with you! Namaste 🙏

[@gurphylock5053]

Wow, thank you David. This has to be one of the best flows I have done for my old grumpy back. 26 years as a nurse with a sore back is miserable. Yoga is the only thing that is keeping me moving. This flow really helped me today. The QL stretch was amazing and new to me. Keep up the great work, love the explanations too, helps us understand what we are trying to achieve. 🙏🏻🧘🏼‍♀️💜

First time checking out one of your videos and this was really what the left low side of my back needed! The sharp shooting pain is gone and I think it was from the QL stretch!! So relieving. Subscribed and can't wait to dive into some more of your content.

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi Christopher! Oh I wish you could see the smile on my face 😍 I'm SO happy you were able to find some relief! Those QL stretches are magic and they're something I do everyday in my own practice. Thank you for your subscription 🙏 May you continue to find relief, healing and freedom from pain.

[@vincenzooo255]

You're amazing David! Thank you for your videos, teaching and spiritual mindset. I can feel the sciatica relief already having done it yesterday and today.

Hi Vinay! I am so grateful that you find my videos and teaching helpful. It feels like such a gift just knowing that you appreciate it 💓 May you continue to find peace and joy in each day. Namaste 🙏

Thank you so much Urmila! It gives me joy knowing that it's helping you. Namaste 🙏💓

[@Novjuly]

Wow this was excellent, thank you. Subscribed. I'm a teacher, and yesterday I spent like 8 or 9 hours sitting hunched over a chromebook, putting in data from my students' IEPs. This morning I woke up and could barely move. This definitely helped loosen me up, and I think I will do that flow senquence you mentioned. Or if it's too difficult for my back, I'll go for a walk.

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi Erica! First I want to say thank you for being a teacher 💓 I can't think of a more important and impactful job in the whole world. I'm SO happy you found this video helpful. I believe these stretches combined with the two things you mentioned - walking and some sort of gentle flow practice - can really help you support and stabilize your spine, and keep you healthy and happy for the long haul. Wishing you a beautiful day filled with peace, love and light 🤗

[@DavidOYoga]

After I read your comment I felt inspired to make a "Slow Flow for Teachers" practice! It should be out tomorrow morning on my channel. Thank you for the inspiration Erica!

Wow that last one really did it for my back,I'm training to be a yoga teacher myself and I've been practicing daily for the past 8 months but no relief for my back as yet, this is the best my back has felt after practice fora while so thankyou! I'm thinking my bed mattress is causing my back problems, thinking of transitioning onto the floor, big move but it just feels like the only solution atm

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi Alison! I'm SO happy this helped you ❤️ Trying to sleep on the floor would be a good experiment just to see if you notice any changes. I slept on the floor for a while a couple years ago using a large Thai massage mat (like a big square futon cushion) and my back really seemed to like it. That's awesome you're working toward becoming a yoga teacher. I'm biased but I think sharing this practice with others is the greatest job in the world. I'm excited for your journey! Namaste 🙏

I am a 62 year old lesbian, so don't get me wrong, please. Everytime I do yoga with you, David, which is getting more and more often, I think "what a sweet guy"! I have been doing yoga mostly with really good women teachers for about 15 years. Therefore I know your teachings are brilliant! I have never come across this QL strech before. It feels just great. I will do yoga with you now regularly and I whish you many, many followers. Light and love to you. 💖🏳️‍🌈

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi Angela 🤗 Thank you SO much for your sweet and thoughtful message. It brought a big smile to my heart. I love that you enjoyed this QL stretch - it's one of my favorites! I'm looking forward to practicing with you in the future. Your light and love has been received and sending lots back to you ✨

[@monsur0501]

Hi David, I am following your practice twice a day and it's awesome. My pain in the hip on both sides and on two legs, especially it's serious in the morning when I am standing from the bed when having a shower when standing from the sitting, and almost every day's when having movements. I am using a belt. Please advise required any more practice. Monsur

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi Wadud! I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from this pain. I know how debilitating back pain can be ☹️ and I'm thankful that you are feeling some relief from my video. Each time you work through this practice be very gentle, just stretching to the point of a little sensation. Just a little bit each day and over time things will begin to shift. The following videos contain stretches for sciatica pain, but these stretches are also wonderful for other kinds of low back pain as well. I recommend you try them and see which ones feel like they give you relief. Let your body be your guide in choosing which ones are right for you. And again, be very gentle. Don't push yourself into pain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKGnm2B3q7eZm7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKnVpK1rlKt8o9E In addition to these exercises and stretches, I recommend that if possible, you try to get outside and go for a short leisurely walk, preferable on soft ground in nature. Walking slowly on soft ground helps to lubricate and strengthen the hips, and then these exercises and stretches help to open and loosen. I hope this helps! Namaste my friend 🙏

[@monsur0501]

Hi David, Thanks for the valuable advice. "Listen to your body" following such a great dialogue still I am struggling with stubborn sciatica. Mostly right leg affected and movement time pain increase. Also, pain in the hip especially when I am standing from seating. I selected some best practice from you and maintaining twice a day. Also, I am walking every day as much I can. No doubt I feel some better but still, I am suffering. Expecting your continuous advice. Thanks.

Is this for muscle? Cause if for disc, this just to my level 8 into full on ten.

[@DavidOYoga]

Hi TRGV. I'm sorry you're suffering from this pain. These are the exercises and stretches that have helped me with my own chronic low back pain due to minor bulging disc and tight hips due to the everyday stress of sitting and poor posture. I present them in the hope that they can help others as they did for me. I'm sorry you did not find them helpful. Obviously please don't continue with any exercises or stretches that cause pain or unreasonable discomfort.
