[@DegenerateY]

I use this one often to help with my mobility issues, thank you Andrew bud

[@RefeelYoga]

You're most welcome Em! I just finished recording Pawanamuktasana Part 2, focused on the Digestive System. Look for it coming out next month 🔥

[@thingsthatclick]

Thank you!!! This was so wonderful!!! You are my fav KZbin yoga teacher!!!

[@RefeelYoga]

Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you to say 🥰🙏

[@sweetchinmusic3]

Namaste, I am grateful that the universal and all embracing, ancient wisdom of INDIA and Hinduism ( yoga and meditation) is being appreciated and adapted all over the world now...

[@RefeelYoga]

Yes! We're so fortunate to live in an age where this wisdom is so accessible to those who choose to seek 💞

[@rogers1609]

Yoga was given to all mankind. Not just India.

[@sweetchinmusic3]

@@rogers1609 Yes it was given to the whole of mankind BY India. Yoga originated in India around 3000 BC. It was first organized into a practice by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali. Respecting and acknowledging the history of a practice is as important as respecting the practice itself. Thank you Namaste :)

[@roncameron810]

Wow, loved this practice Andrew. As a 70 something with mild COPD, i felt invigorated thank you, Namaste 👃

[@RefeelYoga]

Wonderful! Thank you Ron! I'm so glad to hear that this practice was of value for you! If you have any other friends that could benefit from the same, please pass it on to them as well 💞

[@rogers1609]

Thank you. You are right...powerful effect on the nervous system. Also generates a surprising amount of heat. Nice one.

[@RefeelYoga]

Wonderful Brett! I'm glad you had this experience. It can be so purifying 💕

[@destiny.on.the.phone.]

Andrew, this is amazing! It brought me back to basics and reminded me why I got into yoga on the first place! Keep up the good work, LOVE everything You do :)

[@RefeelYoga]

What a wonderful feeing to have! I am so glad to have been able to give you this reminder 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing!

[@NerdrAI]

So glad you helped me retrieve this gem of a class Andrew! I find this practice incredibly powerful despite its apparent simplicity: the first time I practiced it some months ago, it knocked me down and I had to take a long nap. I could really feel the deep benefits of it. And I think it's a fantastic practice for Vata dosha especially! With our thin bone structure and airy quality!!! Loved it, and have flagged it to practice it regularly. Thanks as usual for putting such a fantastic content for us!

[@RefeelYoga]

Awesome Audrey! I'm so glad that you are experiencing the profound benefits of this seemingly simple practice. Sometimes it's the most gentle things that can, over time, create the biggest difference

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This is such a beautiful sequence than can really be practiced by anyone, at any time! Last week I was quite ill with covid and this was my go-to practice. It was so helpful to relieve the body aches and stiffness 💖

[@kristianolsvik1274]

Was able to relax and reconnect, thank you very much !

[@RefeelYoga]

You're welcome Kristian! I'm glad you enjoyed 😊

[@mattlloyd2057]

Loved this! Particularly those hip rotations - I think they may turn out to be a game-changer!

[@RefeelYoga]

Great! I thought this would be good for you! Those couple exercises; the hip rotations as well as the half and full butterflies, were a total game changer for me as well, when it came to my sitting game ;)

[@8aOM]

Thank you so much Andrew for this practice! So relaxing and so powerful at the same time! I think I flew out of my body at the end! Namaste!

[@RefeelYoga]

Wow amazing bro! I'm glad you enjoyed. It's so beautiful how sometimes the, seemingly, gentle practices can take us so deep 🙏💞

Thank you Andrew 🙏❤ Love to do this,.

[@RefeelYoga]

You are so welcome Vicky! Glad you're also enjoying the gentle practice 💕🙏

[@tanglayyoga2518]

Amazing practice, thank you! So simple and so soothing. I think this is great for VATA people. It was so easy to drop into meditation after this. I will remember it for my students. Namaste. Thanks for sharing this practice with us.

[@RefeelYoga]

Yes! This is the best practice for Vata people! In fact it's called the "Pawana Mukta Asana Series" Pawana means "wind", just like Vata means wind or air. Mukta means liberating or releasing And Asana means postures. So this is precisely the series of postures for releases excess air from the system ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Marifegh]

Me encantó

[@sunshineandlemonsyoga]

So profound, thank you for sharing this gentle practice, I look forward to sharing it with my friends 🌞🍋

Thank you again. It helped a lot today.

[@HerbeetleGTI]

did this one today, after you recommended., it did relax me a bit, but i noticed i was so tightened just by sleeping.. I am so slow these days, going to do the breathing and meditation tonight because i need to continue on my thesis... It's an exceptional situation with this last month to finish but will be over soon

[@RefeelYoga]

Great work Dominique! I'm glad to see you took me up on my suggestion 🥰

Aww beautiful Marietta! Thank you so much for sharing this moment with me 🥰🙏

[@violetrose1750]

Thanks I will do this again. Though changing direction has always been interesting for me. As someone who doesn't follow directions well, your tone, lovely and round no sharpness, so not jarring to my nerves.🌞

[@kathymmail]

Hi Andrew, Could you speak more about this wind energy?

[@RefeelYoga]

Hi Kathy, I will try my best ;) "Pawana" is one of the Sanskrit words for wind, air or gas, and this series is designed to release this energy or element from the body. In this case, especially from the joints. In the digestive system wind causes poor or irregular digestion, think of excessive flatulence or difficulty with regular bowel movements. In the joints and muscles too much wind can cause inflammation and immobility, such as arthritis and other rheumatic disorders. And in the nervous system too much wind can cause a variety of mental disorders, from forgetfulness all the way to the extremes of schizophrenia. In Ayurveda this energy is referred to as "Vata", the air element. Ayurveda is a huge and beautiful system of knowledge, science and nutrition, this I, personally, feel a lot of resonance with. If you want to learn more about this energy and how one could balance it, I would definitely recommend you to do a little search into Ayurveda and the qualities associated with Vata Dosha 💖

[@kathymmail]

@@RefeelYoga thank you, this is helpful.

[@serenemind1866]

Tnx👌

[@espenfradrammen]

Namaskaram Andrew. This has now become my daily warm up excercise. I would love a version of this where you include the pranic movment as you mention in the start of this session. Will you be making one, or does one already excist? With gratitude and love. Thank you.

[@RefeelYoga]

Thank you Ejō! You're actually the second person to ask my about it this week! So I am putting it on the list now ;)

[@espenfradrammen]

@@RefeelYoga that is wonderfull news Andrew. Thank you 🙏🏼🤍✨

[@florenzvolkaert9063]

Deceptively difficult! I can barely sit in the right position due to tight hamstrings, so it was a challenge. Had a bit of a tai chi vibe (not that I've done much of that, but still...) :)

[@RefeelYoga]

Wonderful Florenz! If you found it challenging, that means there is much potential for growth 😉 And yes, definitely some similarities with Tai Chi, as we're really trying to move with the flow of Prana or Chi.

[@svetlana1328]

What a coincidence! I was looking for some gentle practice to perform, and when I opened KZbin, I saw this one. So I did it 😃. It’s just perfect! I used to have “tennis elbow “ syndrome. Chiropractic treatment helped to cure it, but sometimes I still feel it. I found this practice very beneficial for my elbow as well as for my knees. Every movement they sound like velcro 😂. Energywise, I feel warmed up and relaxed. Thank you, Andrew! 🙏😊🙏 One question: my 14 years old son has hypertonic calf muscle. Do you thing this practice will be appropriated for him? Thanks again! 🙏😊💓 P.S. Did you get my reply of your reply of day 6 of challenge? Hope my question is not too confusing 😊😅

[@RefeelYoga]

Only now did this comment pop up for me! So crazy! 🤔😅

[@svetlana1328]

I know 😅. I'll write my reviews, and copy-paste them in Zoom chat 😂

Once you get passed the leg section, then yes, you can do the rest of the sequence in a cross legged position.
