Thank you and Desi so much. For years, I've been trying to have my lower back/hips, shoulders and head to align flush when standing against the wall. I did two Desi's routines and this one, and guess what? I can do that alignment! What's up with that? lol yoga chair for christmas plus you two...what a fabulous way to start off the new year.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi Sheralyn, wonderful. Sometimes when we hear an explanation said in a certain way or over many times we get something new. Keep practicing with me and see what else comes. You will find the chair very useful. Enjoy! 🙏🏻

[@melissal4638]

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Dear Louisa, thanks for your note and appreciations. Happy it made a difference. Namaste, Kathy

[@reneepriest5151]

A very encouraging delivery from Juan Carlos! Nice class for those of us who are stiff.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Beautiful Renee. We are have different bodies, and depending on our age we all go through different cycles. Yoga practice is for everyone, Guruji’s intention was to have all be able to practice at their level and with the support each of us require. Namaste

[@alwinkuchler3549]

Can you do more videos for us inflexible .It’s great

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi there, ok will do, happy to provide more in this area. May I know your age and what areas you find most stiff? Thanks

[@alwinkuchler3549]

Mid to end 50’s don’t want to publicly state my age on the internet.Hipps and upper back.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

If you like this video. I recommend that you check out my 3-part beginner series: kzbin.info/aero/PLj99WQ_Mw0JkaymfWmwQqdONr2Tg3FprG Enjoy:-)

[@lillysummer3546]

The chair is so different. Is this available anywhere on a website?

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

@@lillysummer3546 Hi, the Iyengar”s have been using the chair to assist young and mature practitioners for over 50 years. Due to its functionality and high demand many manufacturers are now producing all over the world. You can search" iyengar yoga chair" on Amazon and there should be plenty to choose from. It is unique as there is no back ( we use to have to take the back out manually! ) and the leg bars are positioned to allow for various leg and hand positions comfortably. Enjoy your practice, be curious and find ways that the chair adds to your awareness while you hold longer and go deeper. 🙏🏻 Kathy

[@lillysummer3546]

@@DesaYogiIyengarYoga thank you for detailed reply. I got to know more. I have been an Iyengar student for a year and a half now and I got my chair from the Iyengar Institute. It is a black one. I was really curious about this one because the backrest is different than the ones we have. It’s more out and curved than the regular ones. I visited a lady in Mumbai who sold props and looked at many. Maybe I will send her this video to ask if she has something like this available but also check Amazon. Not sure if India will have it. It is good for backbend while sitting.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

@@lillysummer3546 Seems everywhere in the world has some variation. 😂 What you bought from the institute should work. India also has many chairs for Iyengar yoga as well. The chair you have should work. Maybe send me a photo so I can take a look and advise. :)

[@stephenoconnor1459]

Nice video

[@ushab1967]

Namasthey Juan Carlos. Very helpful Video. Please do some more videos for inflexible people. of course with the help of props. Then after that it can be a transition to the Beginner series in your playlist. Your channel is doing a great work. After some more videos for inflexible people please give us a playlist of one by one order of videos to practice. may be like ..... 1. Yoga for inflexible people 2. Yoga for inflexible people with props 3. Yoga for inflexible people with props 4. Beginner series Part 1 5. Beginner series Part 2 6. Beginner series Part 3 7.Foundational etc

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi, Good evening. It's very helpful. I am suffering with reumatoid arthritis. Stiffness in both elbows and I am unable to straighten elbows. And also having left knee pain. I am from India. Please tell me related assnas. Thank you🙏 very much

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hello Deepthi, thanks for your note. Are you practicing yoga regularly? Please let me know the level of your knowledge of yoga and i will further recommend. Also please tell me more about your lifestyle, eating habits (food) routine movements, sleep patterns and any medication your taking. All of this can make a difference and all needs to be accounted for. Looking forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, start with working with you hands and fingers to get movement and circulation to the arms. Namaste

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi Alwin, I passed on your inquiry to my assistant. Have you been able to connect?

[@elespacioylamirada8419]

Are you from Argentina?

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Thanks for asking Karina. I am Venezuelan 🙏🏻❤️

[@nelalela9634]

little too fast for me

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Dear Nela, I suggest you watch and stop it so you can try this at your own speed. This practice is simple and has been broken down step by step. I encourage you to watch several times then to take at your own pace by watching, stopping and then going doing on your own and start again. Stay in the pose or action as long as you feel comfortable and then move on. No pressure, by allowing the body to feel the movement you can build up the opening and create softness and stability. Enjoy your own self paced journey. 🙏🏻
