[@avernion]

I feel both enlightened and entertained.

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I feel like I have ass in my face.

[@PamelaWer]

Here this whole time, I thought we were supposed to be stretching calfs with this pose. 😁

[@desireeluciano]

Me too lol

[@monicas2461]

Me too 😂

[@brucelevine6517]

me too ?

[@lakshmikrithika2521]

Me too

[@sofiagreka5608]

me too, me too

[@gabrielleferguson1626]

This was SO helpful as I’ve never been able to really get the hang of this pose before

[@michaelkuhn6328]

I’ve been going to yoga classes for about 5 years, this is the best explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@danyellanightingale8240]

The way you explain poses and the cues you give are PHENOMENAL. I am so happy I found your channel!

[@lilpetz500]

Emphasising the point of this goal actually really helps explain how it got that name, like if youve ever seen a dog when they first get up to run towards you? That one stretch they do as they get up honestly looks so good on the spine us humans NEED it

[@steelfalconx2000]

Not gonna lie that first frame got my attention.

[@maddison5154]

This is so helpful, I feel like this is 'basic' so gets overlooked. Much appreciated ❤

[@adamseward358]

So good at explaining the mechanics! Just a few days after finding your videos I’m noticing improvements in my practice, and I’ve been doing yoga for 11 years!

[@adamseward358]

Update: the big improvement in my forward bends is continuing since focusing on the pelvic rotation. Very happy to have stumbled on this video and channel.

[@k1ckonlinefitness521]

Possibly the greatest explanation of this I've ever heard. So glad this randomly popped up this morning, looking forward to watching more from you

[@ajayadithya6574]

Love that "tadaaa" 💕

[@jessicajeckman]

Wonderful explanation, thank you!

[@Jaznellow]

Very helpful!!! I typically avoid downdog for this very reason - this feels soooo much better with that anterior tilt! You're a life saver!

[@oceaneo4603]

I never do downdog without a warm up. And I'm flexible, very flexible. I don't understand why, we have to do this position without one, and why beginners aren't given an options.

[@hannahgiza1992]

Wow! Thank you for this explanation! I have never understood this stretch because I cannot touch my heels to the ground. I’m going to try your moves and see if it helps me get the correct stretch!

[@djufvcey]

I think she knows what she is doing

[@Calliglory]

That's just a yoga pose, u r the problem

[@jaybeanzx]

@@CalligloryNo it’s the angle

[@Jay-vt2so]

Your smile and energy 😊🤗😊🤗😊

[@annemariefischer5081]

Ta-daa 🤩🤩🤩 your videos are the best … !!

[@evantumminello3283]

I never heard this explanation before and have been doing the move for years. Thanks for the information on this technique.

[@pinkdipi]

Your positivity is contagious

[@AniaBumba]

Thanks, that was so short, simple and brilliant!

[@cocongng313]

So helpful and it makes a difference to my downward dog! I love how you can explain so clearly. Good work!

[@samday6621]

Aaaaaah, THANK YOU Leggings!! Always, in yoga they say “...as you inhale, press your thumb n forefinger into the mat...(I may be paraphrasing here, cause I’m lost in The Zone)..and on the exhale (here’s my point) lift your sits bones to the sky” This is when I think...lift my sits bones?!!....but....my feet, and gravity...! Thank you Leggings for telling it straight. Pelvic tilt, like puppy, got it. I’d subscribe again if I could.

[@colinlonx590]

So glad you really talk about hamstrings. That is key for everyone

[@andeybrown]

Thank you for this wonderful explanation! ❤

[@ash6415]

Her voice is very soothing.😊

[@feliciawalker6029]

You explain so beautifully with simplicity, love it!

[@sc7244]

Perfect I’m not flexible at all and I’m trying to get into yoga. Thanks for the tips!

[@maddyboombaddybaddy6532]

Have you done a hard 90 min yoga session yet?

[@Sonicstillpoint83]

I found the perfect KZbin video for its subject matter. bravo! I’m personally grateful for the specificity of the verbal explanations so I don’t feel like I missed out on anything.

[@lazinasahib4826]

I love the way you explain things. This makes so much sense. Thanks😊🧘‍♀️

[@msheboigen]

I love your vibe and your clear explanations of asanas.

[@gr1ft1n]

Love the socks😊

[@963hz]

Oh my gosh you’re AMAZING at teaching this. And your voice is crazy amazing to listen to!

[@mysticgardener2704]

Love the socks And learning so many little tips from you

[@AvecBella]

Thank youuu ❤

[@verityv5284]

Yes I was so frustrated that I couldn't put my heels down (and to straighten my knees) doing this, now I know it is not necessary

[@EmEv]

This is super helpful! Thank you!

[@estheranthony7539]

You are such a wonderful teacher. I can only imagine what your students are able to acheive when they receive in person training from you. Thanks again for another great explanation. You make all of these poses seem so accessible.

[@dranamarie]

I’ve been doing yoga years and never understood this fully until watching this so thanks so much!❤

[@LeedsHypnotherapist]

This is the first time I've ever heard this. Thank you. Makes so much sense.

[@bhawnakhattar4375]

Really helpful as I have been struggling with this pose.Thank you

[@Livinleggings]

Glad it helped!

[@philipcoltharp918]

Liv, Liv, Liv, please, please incorporate this into a video so I can share it with my daughter. Thanks for your channel!

[@6yearsago153]

Subscribed! ❤ the indepth explanation and I've been trying to stretch both. I will focus on the hamstrings from now on. Thanks!

[@vanessamccarthy7807]

Wow I finally understand the purpose of this pose now. Great explanation thnkq❤

[@JohnCardielsGod]

Men of culture, we meet again ;)

[@DCBfanboy]

LMAO

[@NoRamNobiosNoService]

Excellent advise

[@kparrott34]

I’m so glad I saw this because I always thought my feet needed to touch the ground 😊

[@Kelly_Ben]

Wow. Just found your channel. Love the clear instructions/ explanation. Subscribed

[@deekasman5018]

Thank you for the great explanation!

[@RawandCookedVegan]

Very good, all your videos have great, practical info and are delivered in an accessible way with humility. Well Done!

[@pawelmorrison]

She knows what she's doing

[@pratikjain134]

Lovely explanation! I am becoming a fan of your content :)

[@dolphinschild62]

I am so grateful I found you.

[@Mould2strong]

have to say you are fantastic, the way you explain the science behind poses and various stretches really helps. I ended up finding my lower back would really stiffen up during yoga, mostly because of downward dog lol, nobody online is giving technique explanations as good as yours

[@ManmadeM0nster]

I've never heard this explained so well. THANK YOU!! I thought I'd never get this super common pose down...

[@insanelyblissful]

Wow I’ve taken 100s of yoga classes and even a workshop. this is the first i learnof this 😢

[@catmaclaggan]

Unfortunately this is also a way for some people to develop proximal hamstring tendinopathy, or the dreaded "yoga butt", as I learned the hard way.😭If you know you're hypermobile, consider being cautious about how much you anteriorly tilt your pelvis.🙏She sure looks great doing it though. Beautiful💙

[@6681096]

Yep, she has a video warning about yoga butt. You don't want to just do stretching you also need to strengthen.

[@oceaneo4603]

I believe bending the knees, is a good option if your heel don't touch the floor. But I know I would have injuries if all my foot ain't touching the floor in this position. This is not the first I heard teachers it's ok. In my opinion, it's not. For all the stress you would put on your joints, and on how you missed out with an inproper downdog.

[@i-917]

It's really good to know ❤💕

[@Paul-tw9vc]

What an entertaining view!! Absolutely stunning!!!

[@iamyourgreatgreatgreatgrea6291]

Love the instructions, actually never seen or even heard anyone explain this, though I've done it the way you say isn't the goal of this pose, and it has actually helped me a lot. My body is now really straight compared to before, when I had too much anterior pelvic in neutral standing position, and my entire body feels way better, so I think it's good to mention it isn't exactly bad to do it with heels completely down, unless it has some very bad effect in the long run that I don't know of. But keep being awesome, you are bringing up things rarely anyone talks about, which is great! 😊

[@yertoik]

Helpful advice and succinct. Win

[@MsBettyRubble]

Thanks for explaining this! I've never liked that pose cuz of my ankles aren't that flexible.

[@chainyrabbit]

Im really glad i found this channel!!!

[@chainyrabbit]

I'm not saying that in a weird way, I'm 35 and my body is getting tight, I appreciate the information

[@AW1977]

i love your way of explaining

[@Katrinasana]

Wow, just tried it and what a difference. Thank you 😊

[@caleymccauley6007]

Thank you so much. Super helpful. 👌

[@ThatsSilwo]

Cool socks 😜

[@luisguevara9246]

Thank you!!!! Been working on my heels staying down

[@Mary-yb1tp]

Always to the point!

[@kikikauffmann]

Thank fk lmao I’ve been struggling so much to have my feet flat on the floor 🤣

[@rainymornings]

Same lol.... but I'll never execute this pose the same way again now that I know what the point actually is

[@wltsas1622]

We need more of these kind of videos! 😊

[@MaryJane-ug3eu]

This is so great to know cause I always be wonderin!

[@demarcusfaulkner7411]

Thank you for the explanation

[@Hawkeyes2017]

Thank you

[@kms32690]

Your videos are really helpful

[@bartowflorida]

I’m trying to stay focused, but mind mind keeps imagining her sit down muscles 😂

[@rcg5317]

Interesting! Also very cute like the nurse explaining how your catheter works without embarrassment. I had no idea that was the focus. Based on your video I can see where that would be a benefit. 😉

[@nataliebechmann939]

Thank you! This is incredibly helpful- I always find down dog so uncomfortable

[@Livinleggings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641]

Tricked into learning about yoga

[@colossusofrhodes1282]

Ohh MY. What an EPIC opening shot omg 😱

[@PaulEulette]

This video just got you a new subscriber! Best explanation yet!!

[@CaraMarie13]

Am so glad you pointed this out. I remember when I first became interested in starting yoga i did an in person class and i just knew people were giving me weird looks because I couldn't touch my hills to the floor.

[@jessicaporter4194]

Perfect ❤

[@vivianhudacek1556]

Very helpful!

[@JohnSancti]

I have problems in that area for years, and i never could do that exercise, i will try this way, thank you.

[@budabead]

On and off yogi here(yea just lazy i know...) after having spent hundreds of hours practicing andnconsuming even more.... i hadn't realised this Thank you as always, you're a godsend

[@leothelion8326]

This helps thank you!

[@southernbellerising]

Very helpful! Thanks 😊

[@nikanikon6611]

Genius!

[@ChaleaBear]

That's why my back never feels stretched. I swear I have only felt it once or twice and always thought I was doing it wrong or just had really flexible back and hamstrings... Apparently all the above. Especially the wrong part.

[@karthiKeyan-yk2by]

Oops ive been doing that posterior pelvic tilt for quite sometime now without even knowing lol. No wonder i never felt much in my hammies 😂 thanks for the video. Can you one like this for the shoulders as well? Im confused in internal rotation thing while our arma go overhead

[@andrewtheogre5971]

Heee Heeee, I did it!!! Thanks Liv! 😁😁😁

[@desireeluciano]

This was helpful!

[@aakritisharma10]
